Empowering Leadership and Employee Innovative Behavior: The Role of Creative Role Identity
Authors:   Korean Academy of Leadership, Kang Gyung Mo , Yang Young-Eun , Kim Soojin , Kwon Kiwook
Published: May 2023

This empirical study examined both the mediating effect of creative role identity and the moderating effect of promotion focus on the relationship between empowering leadership and employee innovative behavior. Research models and hypotheses were established based on previous studies that explored empowering leadership, creative role identity, employee innovative behavior and promotion focus. It was confirmed that empowering leadership had a direct effect on employee innovative behavior and an indirect effect through the partially mediating variant of creative role identity. The study also confirmed that the lower an employee's promotion focus, the greater the effect of empowering leadership on creative role identity.
The results of this study are significant because it verified the mechanism of identity perspective and expanded the literature on the effect of empowering leadership on employee innovative behavior. In particular, the creative role identity formed through leader's expectations, interactions, and employee's self-conceptualization of individual roles mediates the influence of empowering leadership on employee innovative behavior. At the same time, empowering leadership can influence employee innovative behavior differently depending on an employee's individual characteristic. Accordingly, continuous interaction for nurturing an employee's creative role identity rather than simple task instruction or delegation of authority is strongly recommended. Similarly, managers should demonstrate consistent interest in employee creative role identity as well as empowering leadership in order to encourage innovative behavior among employees.
Imigração e gênero: reflexões sobre temas, fontes e métodos nos estudos migratórios femininos
Authors: Vendrame Maíra
Published: May 2023

O presente artigo tem por objetivo refletir a respeito da historiografia que trata do papel das mulheres nos movimentos migratórios do oitocentos e novecentos da Europa para o Brasil. Invisibilizadas nos processos de deslocamento, as imigrantes pouco apareciam nos estudos sobre as migrações. Procurar garantir  maior equilíbrio nas análises através da inclusão das mulheres, considerando os papéis e relações de gênero, é algo necessário para uma compreensão mais completa da imigração e da vida da(o)s estrangeira(o)s na sociedade de destino. A utilização de fontes de natureza diversa, que tomem o estudo de trajetórias e a perspectiva da metodológica da micro-história, aparece como uma escolha que pode trazer contribuições significativas para a história dos movimentos migratórios e das imigrantes no além-mar.

Published: May 2023

O presente texto mapeia e analisa as representações de criança saudável inscritas no jornal O Exemplo, de Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul, assinadas pelo Doutor Adayr. A investigação se insere no campo da História da Educação, propondo algumas aproximações com a História da Saúde e das Doenças, fundamentando-se na História Cultural. A análise do corpus empírico permitiu a emergência de diferentes representações de criança saudável, sendo que elas não são estanques e encontrando-se, muitas vezes, imbricadas umas nas outras. Os resultados demonstram que as representações de criança saudável estão pautadas sobre ideias que as entendem como seres biológicos, que devem estar/seguir padrões específicos.
Para rechaçar o estigma de prosa panfletária: resenha de o papel de parede amarelo e outras histórias, de Charlotte Perkins Gilman
Authors: Schargel Sergio
Published: May 2023

No dia 26 de dezembro de 1929, a intelectual Sylvia Serafim assassinou o irmão de Nelson Rodrigues, Roberto Rodrigues, motivada por uma matéria de capa do jornal A Crítica, no mesmo dia, que mostrava seu suposto adultério. O assassinato entrou à memória coletiva, e permanece mobilizando afetos e disputas ainda hoje. Entretanto, Serafim passou a ser tratada sempre como assassina, tendo sua produção literária, jornalística e política abandonada e esquecida. O assassinato foi apropriado como disputa política e ideológica, mobilizando paixões entre conservadores e progressistas.
As cartas de Afonso de Ligório: a dimensão política de um bispo napolitano
Authors: Coelho Bruno Alves
Published: May 2023

Afonso Ligório é uma importante personagem do Reino de Nápoles do século XVIII. A abordagem de seu epistolário revela a consistente atuação política de um homem de Igreja daquele tempo. Suas cartas são de grande relevância para a historiografia porque demonstram com certo grau de detalhamento a complexa realidade do Reino de Nápoles, em suas instituições burocráticas e de exercício do poder. Nossa análise de algumas cartas do epistolário afonsino traz à tona a uma faceta pouco explorada deste homem: seu consciente envolvimento com a política do século XVIII, demonstrando como Estado e Igreja se retroalimentavam no exercício do poder e do governo dos súditos.

Lutas, artes marciais e esportes de combate na Educação Física escolar
Authors: Almeida Maycon Ornelas , Rodrigues Heitor de Andrade
Published: May 2023

O objetivo do estudo foi caracterizar o conhecimento e as crenças relacionadas ao ensino de Lutas, Artes Marciais e Esportes de Combate, entre professores do Ensino Médio da rede pública do Distrito Federal. O método de pesquisa é de natureza qualitativa, do tipo exploratória-descritiva, para a coleta de dados utilizou-se um questionário (05 questões), respondido por 38 professores de Educação Física. Os resultados revelam que o conhecimento dos professores sobre as diferenças conceituais é incipiente ou que consideram essa diferenciação irrelevante ou inadequada para o contexto escolar, um baixo número de professores conhece o programa de modalidades de esportes de combate presentes nos Jogos Olímpicos, e sobre as diferentes classificações das Lutas, Artes Marciais e Esportes de Combate encontradas na literatura, há uma prevalência das modalidades tradicionais. Esses dados denotam falhas nos processos formativos, sobretudo na formação inicial. As crenças dos professores sobre a viabilidade de ensinar Lutas no contexto escolar com ou sem experiência prévia, impactam as decisões relacionadas à oferta dessas manifestações como um conteúdo de suas aulas, e influenciam as estratégias metodológicas adotadas.
Medicare Advantage? If You Say So. Fraud, Waste, And Abuse In Medicare Part C
Authors: LoCurto John J
Published: May 2023

Debates about health care often emphasize distributive justice. How should society allocate finite resources? Who will get access to them, who will not? Is the allocation fair? Who decides and by what standard? Answers to these questions rarely consider health care fraud, waste, and abuse. This is a material omission. Fraud alone costs the health care system billions of dollars annually, dissipating limited funds and degrading quality of care. This paper considers how fraud, waste, and abuse occur in Medicare Part C – better known as Medicare Advantage – an increasingly popular coverage option. Medicare Advantage experiences unique challenges that undermine the program and squander the public’s investment in it. Only by accounting for these programmatic vulnerabilities can we then go on to assess whether Medicare Advantage is an effective, cost-efficient, and equitable mechanism for delivering health insurance coverage.
Higher Education Students Perspectives about EMI in a South Brazilian Public University
Authors: Rodrigues Gabriel Salinet , Ribeiro Juliana Michelon , Rabuske Hendges Graciela
Published: May 2023

This work aims at investigating Brazilian students’ views on English as a Medium of Instruction (EMI) from a pre-implementation standpoint so that their interest, linguistic and pedagogical needs, concerns and suggestions are identified. Through online questionnaire, we identified a significant interest in EMI, associated to concerns with language support and the preference for a flexible regulation, considering the interest and needs of each area and department. Most envisage EMI as an opportunity to prepare for mobility and to compensate part of the experience to those who would not be able to afford it. The results contribute to an assessment of the feasibility of EMI and a local language policy aware of the necessary language support, professional development and offer regulation.
ARTISTAS INDÍGENAS E SUAS LEITURAS DO MODERNISMO NO BRASIL
Authors: Costa Suzane Lima , Da Silva Carlos Rafael
Published: May 2023

O foco deste artigo está em apresentar as principais interpretações, releituras e críticas produzidas por artistas indígenas quando convidadxs por grandes circuitos acadêmicos, culturais e artísticos no Brasil para falar sobre a presença/ausência dos indígenas no movimento modernista, maisespecificamente, para tratar do centenário da semana de arte moderna no Brasil. Para tanto, partimos das críticas feitas por esses artistas aos usos da antropofagia, à ideia de modernismo e vanguarda, para discutir os modos como suas artes, seus fazeres e experimentos apresentam outras propostas conceituais – a exemplo da ideia de Reantropofagia (BANIWA, 2019) e MaKunaimã (ESBELL, 2018) - que instauram seus lugares autorais, suas presenças, como referências urgentes às instituições que inventaram os índios e à projeção de novos imaginários sociais para ler o mundo.
O SABER É NOSSO: A METAMORFOSE DO SABER ANCESTRAL AFRICANO AO PODER FEMININO NAS SOCIEDADES IORUBANA E BRASILEIRA,
Authors: Santos José Henrique de Freitas , Omidire Anike
Published: May 2023

Cada sociedade tem sua história, vivência, assim como o conhecimento dos antepassados que guiam os seus passos, essa conexão com os ancestrais ajuda na permanência de saber ancestral na comunidade e tudo isso ocupa uma posição importante na sua continuidade como um espaço social. A sociedade africana especificamente iorubana curte a presença do saber ancestral africano, o que reflete em todo contexto da vida do povo iorubano, seja no meio político, social, educacional ou religioso. A fortuna dessa sociedade é que as mulheres iorubanas atuam como os agentes de preservação e guardiãs desse saber ancestral, o que lhes deu uma oportunidade para manter-se na hierarquia política, econômico e religiosa da sociedade como “Iyanifa, Iyalaje, Iyaloja e Iyalode” Esse movimento fluido do saber ancestral africano acaba fixando sua raiz na diáspora através de esforço dos escravos africanos que preservaram alguns elementos culturais africanos, estabelecendo um ciclo das mulheres Afro- descendentes que lutam para preservar e transmitir esse saber ancestral africana para seus filhos.  Este trabalho através duma abordagem analítica, vai estudar a metamorfose de saber ancestral africano ao poder feminino, revelando o saber ancestral africano no campo feminino através da vida e passos dos Orixás femininos e heroínas iorubanas, exibindo a estratégia de formação dos líderes femininos afro-brasileiros afim de preservar a “Literatura Terreiro” no Brasil.
DESVIOS NA FLECHA DO TEMPO

O artigo discute a questão do silenciamento das autorias negras dentro do registro modernista, observando as implicações geradas dentro da constituição da historiografia literária e para a própria concepção de tempo brasileiro em suas instâncias pretéritas e prolépticas. A partir da elaboração teórica de Denise Ferreira da Silva para o “evento racial” e das reflexões de Kodwo Eshun acerca da circularidade do tempo afrofuturista, traçamos algumas linhas sobre Lima Barreto como figura entrópica da literatura brasileira, embora marginalizado do cânone modernista.
UM ESTUDO SOBRE OS EFEITOS DE FEEDBACK HIPERMODAL PARA A REESCRITA TEXTUAL
Authors: Silva Aline , Ribeiro Patrícia
Published: May 2023

Esta pesquisa exploratória buscou investigar os efeitos do uso de feedback hipermodal (verbal e sonoro) para a reescrita do gênero artigo acadêmico em uma disciplina do curso de Pedagogia de uma Universidade particular de Minas Gerais. A pesquisa fundamenta-se nos pressupostos da teoria sobre hiper/multimodalidade (LEMKE, 2002; KRESS; VAN LEEUWEN, 2006), na Teoria Cognitiva do Aprendizado Multimídia, doravante TCAM (MAYER, 2001), e na visão dialógica da linguagem (BAKHTIN, 1995). Metodologicamente, aplicou-se um experimento para um total de 23 alunos que, divididos em oito grupos escreveram colaborativamente um artigo na área de Pedagogia e receberam da professora da disciplina feedback multimodal, nas modalidades verbal escrita no próprio texto e sonora para a reescrita dos textos. Os dados foram coletados por meio de dois questionários, sendo um de identificação e de levantamento do processo de escrita dos participantes e outro de avaliação do experimento. A análise dos dados indicou a relevância do feedback hipermodal para a reescrita dos textos. Na condição comparativa, entretanto, os alunos apontaram no questionárerio de avaliação que as marcações e/ou comentários escritos, destacados no texto por recurso de cor e traços indicando onde é necessário alterar o texto, contribuiu mais para a reescrita do texto do que o áudio. Isto se explica pelo fato de que o áudio foi enviado aos alunos no chat da Plataforma Teams, portanto, distante do texto comentado, enquanto as marcações foram feitas diretamente no texto, o que facilitou a consulta e a reescrita do texto.
REFLEXÕES SOBRE A MEDIAÇÃO DE AULAS ATIVIDADES NO ENSINO REMOTO
Authors: Rocha Evando Luiz e Silva Soares , Rodrigues Beatriz Gama
Published: May 2023

A pandemia da Covid - 19 impôs aos sistemas educacionais desafios e possibilidades relacionados ao ensino não presencial. Neste artigo, objetiva-se discutir estratégias de mediação de aulas/atividades remotas de Língua Portuguesa considerando a relação entre o ensino e as limitações dos contextos sociais. A questão a seguir constitui o problema da pesquisa: que estratégias desenvolver para que as atividades de ensino alcancem os sujeitos aprendizes em seus contextos sociais particulares viabilizando a mediação de práticas de ensino? Assume-se que os recursos impressos, bem como, os digitais comportam estratégias eficientes, entretanto, limitações e falta de conhecimento truncam a ampla utilização nas atividades de ensino. Fundamenta-se o trabalho conforme os postulados de Duboc (2011), Gomes e Silva (2017), Kalantzis et al. (2020). Trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa que contempla a análise de materiais dispostos em roteiros e atividades remotas para os anos finais do Ensino Fundamental. A pesquisa mostrou que as estratégias de ensino devem contemplar as aspirações do contexto em que se insere e, como tal, os artefatos tecnológicos para serem inseridos no processo de ensino, devem ser objeto de reflexão, acolhimento e redirecionamento de propósitos e especificidades.
LIMA BARRETO, UMA MODERNIDADE NEGRA
Authors: Silva Jorge Augusto
Published: May 2023

Este texto investe em uma discussão sobre o campo da literatura brasileira, chamando atenção para sua formação tradicional, e o modo come ele é organizado, a partir da concepção evolucionista que norteia seu funcionamento.  Esse modos operandi do campus sofre duas rasuras que prometem abalar seu funcionamento: a ideia de descontinuidade, defendida pela linha vanguardista da literatura brasileira e a literatura periférica. Nosso intuito é mostrar como a forma que essas duas fissuras foram incorporadas pela tradição literária nacional, acabou minando seu potencial transformador do campo, inviabilizando a democratização de suas formas de valoração, fazendo com que as rasuras não chegassem a operar mudanças significativas no campo da literatura no Brasil. A mitigação dessa engrenagem de fabricação do mesmo, que domina o campo nacional em nossas letras, é apontada brevemente nesse trabalho como força da literatura negro-brasileira e o repertório afrodiaspórico que o constitui, sobretudo a partir das noções de oralidade.
The role of niche complementarity in the strengthening of the diversity-ecosystem functioning relationship over time
Authors: Amyntas Angelos , Berti Emilio , Gauzens Benoit , Albert Georg , Yu Wentao , Werner Alexandra , Eisenhauer Nico , Brose Ulrich
Published: May 2023

1.     Species-rich communities exhibit higher levels of ecosystem
functioning compared to species-poor ones, and this positive
relationship strengthens over time. One proposed explanation for this
phenomenon is the reduction of niche overlap among plants or animals,
which corresponds to increased complementarity and reduced competition.

2.     In order to examine the potential of increased complementarity
among plants or animals to strengthen the relationship between diversity
and ecosystem functions, we integrated models of bio-energetic
population dynamics and food-web assembly. Through the simulation of
various scenarios of plant and animal complementarity change, we sought
to elucidate the mechanisms underlying the observed increases in (1)
primary productivity, (2) control of herbivores by predators, and (3)
reduction of herbivore pressure on plants in species-rich communities.

3.     Our findings reveal that increased niche complementarity of
plants can steepen the diversity-function relationships if it does not
increase their intraspecific competition, while increasing
complementarity among animals during community assembly can also have a
positive effect but with considerable variability.

4.     The study highlights the importance of trait variation both among
and within species, and the interplay between intra- and interspecific
competition strength in shaping the functioning of ecosystems over time.
These results offer insights into the mechanisms underpinning the
diversity-functioning relationship, and have practical implications for
ecosystem management and conservation efforts.
Climate as a gatekeeper: Unexpected absence of Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans in an Asian Chytrid hotspot suggests a narrow climatic niche for the pathogen
Authors: Sun Dan , Ellepola Gajaba , Herath Jayampathi , Meegaskumbura Madhava
Published: May 2023

The chytrid fungal pathogens Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans
(Bsal) and B. dendrobatidis (Bd) are driving
amphibian extinctions and population declines worldwide. They are
thought to have originated in East/Southeast Asia, and hence Asia
remains crucial for understanding the ecology of these pathogens.
However, Bsal screening is relatively limited in this region,
particularly in hotspots where Bd lineage diversity is high. To
address this gap, we conducted an extensive survey across the Guangxi
region of Southern China, now considered a Bd hotspot. We
examined 1230 individuals from 38 amphibian species and 36 environmental
water bodies sampled during mostly the middle spring and summer months
of 2019-21. However, PCR testing revealed absence of Bsal in our
samples. A subsequent niche modeling analysis for Bsal suggested
that the bioclimatic conditions of much of the region may not be
conducive to Bsal. Although our findings show absence of
Bsal in the surveyed habitats, periodic monitoring in amphibians
is still needed, particularly across seasons. This is because
Bsal pathogenicity could increase at relatively lower
temperatures, and Bsal may be partitioning its niche with
Bd across seasons. Our results suggest that the climatic
conditions of the karstic Guangxi plains and perhaps competition from
other Bd lineages may suppress Bsal establishment in the
region. Our study provide interesting insights into Bsal niche
dynamics and the knowledge generated will facilitate the conservation
efforts in amphibian populations devastated by chytrid pathogens across
other regions of the world.
Pre-pregnancy body mass index and other risk factors for early- and late-onset hemolysis, elevated liver enzymes, and low platelets (HELLP) syndrome: A population-based retrospective cohort study.
Authors: Wang Li Qing , Bone Jeffrey , Muraca Giulia , Razaz Neda , Joseph K S , Lisonkova Sarka
Published: May 2023

Background: Obesity increases risk of pre-eclampsia, but the
association with hemolysis, elevated liver enzymes, and low platelets
(HELLP) syndrome is understudied. Objective: To examine the
association between pre-pregnancy body-mass-index (BMI) and HELLP
syndrome, including early- vs. late-onset disease. Study
Design: A retrospective cohort study, population-based data.
Setting: British Columbia (BC), Canada, 2008/09-2019/20.
Population: All pregnancies resulting in live births or
stillbirths at ≥20 weeks’ gestation. Methods: BMI categories
(kg/m ) included: underweight (<18.5),
normal (18.5-24.9), overweight (25.0-29.9), and obese (≥30.0). Rates of
early- and late-onset HELLP syndrome (<34 vs. ≥34 weeks,
respectively) were calculated per 1000 ongoing pregnancies at 20- and
34-weeks’ gestation, respectively. Cox regression was used to assess the
associations between risk factors (BMI and, e.g., maternal age, parity)
and early- vs late-onset HELLP syndrome. Main outcome measures:
HELLP syndrome. Results: The rates of HELLP syndrome per 1000
women were 2.8 overall (1,116 per 391,941 women), and 1.9, 2.5, 3.2 and
4.0 in underweight, normal BMI, overweight and obese categories,
respectively. Overall, gestational age-specific rates increased with
pre-pregnancy BMI. Adjusted hazard ratio [AHR] was 2.24 for
early-onset (95% confidence interval [CI] 1.65-3.04) vs. AHR 1.48
(95% CI 1.23-1.80) for late-onset HELLP syndrome (p-value for
interaction 0.025). Chronic hypertension, multiple gestation, hemorrhage
(<20 weeks’ gestation and antepartum) also showed differing
AHRs between early- vs. late-onset HELLP. Conclusions:
Pre-pregnancy BMI is positively associated with HELLP syndrome and the
association is stronger with early-onset HELLP syndrome. Associations
with early- and late-onset HELLP syndrome differed for some risk
factors, suggesting possible differences in etiologic mechanisms.
Magnetic Field Induced the Assembling of Photothermal Evaporator for Efficient Solar-driven Desalination
Authors: Zhou Mingyu , Han Peng , Qi Guicun , Gao Dali , Abdel-Ghafar Hamdy , Wang Yuchao , Tao Shengyang
Published: May 2023

Solar-driven interfacial evaporation is a sustainable and economical
technology for fresh water generation. Structural design of photothermal
material is an effective strategy to improve the evaporation performance
but usually bothered by complicated processes and non-adjustability.
Herein, magnetic nanoparticles assembled photothermal evaporator was
developed, which showed an adjustable spinal array surface under uniform
magnetic field induction. By regulating position in the magnetic field,
the desirable surface structures could be uniform at relatively low load
density of magnetic nanoparticles to improve light absorption via
multiple reflection. Magnetic field induced evaporator could accelerate
evaporation to over 1.39 kg m h
under 1-sun illumination, which was 2.8 times that of natural
evaporation. After coated by carbon layer, magnetic nanoparticles could
overcome the oxidation to realize stable evaporation in long-term
desalination. The facile strategy to optimize the surface structure via
magnetic field is appropriate for various fields with special
requirements on surface structure.

Evidence for spatially varying selection and adaptive variation can
provide insight into a species’ ability to adapt to different
environments. However, despite recent advances in genomics, it remains
difficult to detect footprints of spatially varying selection in natural
populations. Here we analysed ddRAD sequencing data (21,892 SNPs) in
conjunction with geographic climate variation to search for signatures
of adaptive differentiation in twelve populations of the bank vole
(Myodes/Clethrionomys glareolus) distributed across Europe. To identify
the loci subject to spatially varying selection and associated with
climate variation, we applied multiple genotype-environment association
(GEA) methods, two univariate and one multivariate, and controlled for
the effect of population structure. In total, we identified 213
candidate adaptive loci, 74 of which were located within genes. In
particular, we identified signatures of selection in candidate genes
with functions related to lipid metabolism and the immune system. Using
the results of redundancy analysis (RDA), we demonstrated that
population history and climate have joint effects on the genetic
variation in the pan-European metapopulation. Furthermore, by examining
only candidate loci, we found that annual mean temperature is an
important factor shaping adaptive genetic variation in the bank vole. By
combining landscape genomic approaches, our study sheds light on
genome-wide adaptive differentiation and the spatial distribution of
variants underlying adaptive variation in bank voles that are influenced
by local climate.
Constrained output feedback control of spacecraft attitude via explicit reference governor
Authors: Dang Qingqing , Liu Zhenbao , Zemouche Ali , Liu Ping , Zhang Fan
Published: May 2023

This paper proposes an explicit reference governor-based control scheme
for the velocity-free spacecraft attitude maneuver problem subject to
the pointing constraint, the angular velocity constraint, and the input
constraint. The proposed two-layer control scheme guarantees asymptotic
stability of the attitude while satisfying the aforementioned
constraints. The inner layer relies on output feedback control via an
immersion and invariance technology-based angular velocity observer,
enabling attitude stabilization without measuring angular velocity. By
analyzing the geometry of the pointing constraint, the upper bound of
the angular velocity, and the optimization solution of the control
input, the safety boundary described by the invariant set is obtained in
the reference layer. Additionally, we introduce the dynamic factor
related to the angular velocity estimation error into the invariant set
to prevent states from exceeding the constraint set due to unmeasurable
angular velocity information. The shortest guidance path is then
designed in the reference layer. Finally, we verify the effectiveness of
the proposed constrained attitude control algorithm through numerical
simulations.

Published: May 2023

Introduction: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained
arrhythmia with an increasing incidence and prevalence in older age
groups compared to younger individuals and the general population.
Younger patients with AF often have different clinical characteristics,
risk factors, and outcomes. Because AF among the young has not been
studied in Middle Eastern populations, we conducted this study to
provide valuable insights into the differences in the baseline clinical
characteristics and the one-year adverse events between young and older
AF patients, and thus contribute to formulate future treatment
strategies and improve health outcomes. Methods: Consecutive adult
patients previously or newly diagnosed with AF in 30 hospitals and
out-patient cardiology clinics were enrolled in the Jordan AF study from
May 2019 to October 2020. All patients were followed-up for one year.
Baseline clinical characteristics and the one-year adverse events were
assessed in young (<50 years) and older (≥ 50 years) adult
patients with AF. Results: Of the 2020 AF patients enrolled in the
study, 201 (10%) were young. Young patients were more likely to be men
(75.6% vs. 43.8%, p<0.001), and had a lower prevalence of
hypertension (31.3% vs. 79.3%, p<0.001), diabetes mellitus
(10.4% vs. 47.2%, p<0.001), and previous stroke (9.0% vs.
16.1%, p=0.027) compared to older patients. Furthermore, young patients
had a lower mean CHA DS -VASc score
(1.1±1.4 vs. 3.9±1.7, p<0.001) and mean HAS-BLED score
(0.6±0.7 vs. 1.8±1.1, p<0.001). The use of oral anticoagulant
agents was significantly lower in young patients (39.3% vs. 75.0%,
p<0.001). Young patients also had lower one-year all-cause
mortality (1.1% vs. 13.7%, p=0.001), cardiovascular mortality (1.1%
vs. 7.7%, p=0.04) and major bleeding (0% vs. 2.7%, p=0.021) compared
to older patients. The rate of stroke and systemic embolization was
similar in both groups (3.4% vs. 4.4%) Conclusion: The findings of the
Jordan AF study suggest that young patients (<50 years of age)
comprise a small proportion (10%) of the overall AF patient population.
They had more favorable baseline clinical characteristics and risk
scores compared to older patients. The one-year mortality and major
bleeding rates in young patients were also lower than that in older
patients.
The wave speed for a time-periodic bistable 3-species lattice competition system
Authors: Wang Hongyong , Zhan Jiali
Published: May 2023

In this paper, we consider propagation direction, which can be used to
predict which species will occupy the habitat or win the competition
eventually, of bistable wave for a 3-species time-periodic lattice
competition system with bistable nonlinearity, aiming to address an open
problem proposed in [J.-S. Guo et al, The sign of traveling wave speed
in bistable dynamics, Discret. Contin. Dyn. Syst., 40 (2020),
3451]. As a first step, by transforming the competition system to a
cooperative one, we study the asymptotic behavior for the bistable wave
profile and then prove the uniqueness of the bistable wave speed.
Secondly, we utilize comparison principle and build up two couples of
upper and lower solutions to judge the sign of the bistable wave speed
which provides partially the answer to the open problem. As an
application, we reduce the time-periodic system to a space-time
homogeneous system, we obtain the corresponding criteria and carry out
numerical simulations to illustrate the availability of our results.
Moreover, an interesting phenomenon we found is that the two weak
competitors can wipe out the strong competitor under some circumstances.
Novel Plant-Pathogen Classification Techniques based on Supervised Machine Learning Techniques using Optimized Gabor Sets
Authors: Jain Tarun , Sinha Aditya , Gupta Deepeksh , Charak Aahan Singh
Published: May 2023

Summary
—Plant diseases are a key cause of our food
insecurity, which is expected to increase because of globalization,
global warming, and other factors. Plant disease classification is thus
an important step in the control of plant diseases. Traditionally,
direct, and indirect procedures such as RT-PCR or thermography were
used, which are costly, need a qualified expert, and do not provide a
real-time diagnostic. Plant diseases are caused by a variety of
pathogens and recognizing them using machine learning is a significant
focus of this research because there hasn’t been much work done in this
area of plant health monitoring, and early detection of the pathogen can
provide insights into how to best treat the infestation. We employed
computer vision techniques to extract features of diseased leaves from
the PlantVillage dataset and produced promising results utilizing
several Supervised Machine Learning techniques such as Random Forest,
SVM, Naive Bayes, and KNN to classify the pathogen type. We also focused
on optimizing the dataset by finding the best-suited filters for
identifying plant pathogens using a novel technique we developed to
organize the filters in the best possible order, as well as determining
the best hyperparameters for our model.
ASYMPTOTIC BEHAVIOR OF RADIAL DATA FOR THE FOCUSING FRACTIONAL HARTREE EQUATION
Authors: Huang Juan , WANG SHENG , HE QINGRUI
Published: May 2023

This paper concerned the scattering phenomenon for the
mass-supercritical focusing fractional Hartree equation below the ground
state threshold. A simple new proof for the radial initial data case is
showed here. More specifically, we get the scattering criterion by
radial Sobolev embedding inequality and Hardy-Littlewood-Sobolev
inequality. Then, combining Balakrishnan’s formula, the corresponding
Morawetz estimation is obtained. Finally, we prove the scattering result
in a new way, which does not require the concentration-compactness.
A Neoteric GaN HEMT Empirical I-V Model
Authors: kumar rajesh , Sharma Swati , sharma shikha
Published: May 2023

A novel ten parameters analytical nonlinear current voltage model for
GaN HEMTs is described in this article. The empirical model correctly
determines the first function (scale factor) and second function (shape
factor) of I dependency on V and V
. The first and second function has been taken from
the Angelov and Yang models to assess the effects of bias (V
,V ) related traps (gate and drain
lag), self-heating, virtual gate formation, drain induced barrier
lowering etc. and their involvement in the proposed I-V model equation
for all the HEMTs devices. The proposed model has been evaluated with
the lookup table-based model and found in close agreement between the
measured data and the optimized curves on two different types of GaN
HEMTs. This convenient yet precise empirical I-V model could be easily
accomplished with GaN HEMT for computer aided circuit design and
simulation.
Memory Strength Differently Affects Pupil Dilation during Recognition and Cued-Recall
Authors: Albi Ádám , Pajkossy Péter
Published: May 2023

Beside its well-known link to mental effort, pupil dilation (PD) can be
also informative regarding the cognitive and neurobiological background
of episodic memory. It has been shown, for example, that the magnitude
of PD during retrieval signals the strength of a memory trace.
Importantly, however, this link might be mediated by the specific memory
test. In the case of direct and automatic forms of memory retrieval
(e.g. recognition memory), the magnitude of retrieval-related PD might
reflect the aggregate strength of the memory trace. In contrast, in more
effortfull, indirect forms of retrieval (e.g.cued-recall), PD might be
related to mental effort, and thus higher memory strength might be
associated with less mental effort and consequently attenuated PD. In
our study, we tested these predictions by probing the cue-target
associations by either a recognition or by a cued-recall task and
simultaneously measuring the PD triggered by the retrieval process.
Memory strength was manipulated by encoding the cue-target associations
either once or twice. As predicted, our results showed that higher
memory strength was associated with attenuated PD in the cued-recall
task. In contrast, memory strength did not predict PD in our recognition
memory task, which suggest that PD in recognition memory might be
associated with the recollection-familiarty dichotomy and not memory
strength per se. Our results show that the type of the specific memory
test influences how the strength of a memory trace can be assessed using
pupillometry.
Tafsir Youtubi: Penafsiran Gus Baha’ tentang Pengikut Nabi Isa pada Surah Āli ‘Imrān/3: 55
Authors: Abidin Ahmad Zainal , Chayati Dewi Charisun
Published: May 2023

Platform media sosial youtube telah melahirkan media baru tafsir al-Quran yang disebut dengan istilah tafsir youtubi. KH. Ahmad Baha’uddin Nursalim (Gus Baha’) dapat disebut sebagai mufasir youtubi karena namanya semakin dikenal sejak beredar video pengajian tafsir yang ia lakukan diunggah oleh muhibbin-nya di kanal Youtube. Di antara video pengajian tafsir tersebut, pengajian tafsir Gus Baha’ tentang siapa yang dapat disebut sebagai pengikut nabi Isa berdasar pada surah Ali ‘Imran/3: 55 menarik dan penting untuk dikaji karena Gus Baha’ menolak penafsiran yang terdapat pada kitab tafsir yang tengah ia ulas, yaitu Tafsir Jalālain. Penelitian deskriptif analitis ini bersifat etnografi virtual, sehingga informasi bersumber dari lingkungan online yaitu rekaman pengajian tafsir Gus Baha’ yang diunggah di kanal Youtube. Kemudian data dianalisis dan didapati bahwa Gus Baha’ menolak tafsir yang mainstream di masyarakat bahwa umat Kristen merupakan pengikut nabi Isa. Penolakan ini didasari oleh penyimpangan yang mereka lakukan.
Tafsīr Studies in Western Academia: A Bibliographical Survey
Authors: Muchlisin Annas Rolli
Published: May 2023

This paper observes how the field of tafsīr studies has continued to establish itself as an important discipline within Islamic studies in Western academia. It traces how the previous scholarship, which was more preoccupied with Qur’anic studies, has shifted attention to Qur’an commentaries rather than exclusively to the Qur’anic text. Although not an exhaustive survey of all Western works devoted to tafsīr literature as it excludes studies on modern tafsīr, this paper confirms the significance of the classical and, more importantly, medieval tafsīr tradition as a lens through which Islamic intellectual history can be approached. By surveying bibliographical data produced in the past few decades, this article has found that Sunni and mystical Qur’an commentaries have received greater scholarly investigation, that tafsīr historians’ works have transformed traditional views on the history of tafsīr, and that although the field of tafsīr studies is still intimately connected with Qur’anic studies, some current publications testify that it might become an independent study.
Pembakuan Rasm Riwayat Abū ‘Amr Ad-Dānī dalam Mushaf Standar Indonesia
Authors: Fais Nor Lutfi , Khasanah Nurul , Al Muafa Kun Khoiro Umam
Published: May 2023

Penelitian ini bermaksud melakukan kajian terhadap faktor yang menyebabkan pembakuan rasm mushaf Al-Qur’an Standar Usmani Indonesia kepada riwayat Abū ‘Amr ‘Uṡmān ad-Dānī. Pembakuan ini tertuang dalam deskripsi singkat (at-ta‘rīf bi al-muṣḥaf) yang terdapat pada halaman belakang mushaf Al-Qur’an terbitan Kementerian Agama edisi 2020 dan 2021. Hal ini merupakan puncak pengakuan setelah sebelumnya Musyawarah Kerja Ulama tahun 1974-1983 telah membakukan penggunaan rasm riwayat ad-Dānī ini pada mushaf standar Indonesia. Penelitian yang bersifat kajian pustaka ini ingin menjawab alasan dibalik pemilihan rasm usmani riwayat ad-Dānī dan melakukan tarjih terhadapnya daripada riwayat Abū Dāwūd Sulaimān ibn Najāḥ yang banyak digunakan oleh mushaf dari Timur Tengah. Hasil penelitian mendapati bahwa afiliasi riwayat rasm kepada ad-Dānī disebabkan oleh beberapa faktor: kemiripan kaidah rasm riwayat ad-Dānī terhadap penulisan aksara Arab konvensional, familiernya tradisi pembacaan masyarakat Indonesia terhadap mushaf ber-rasm imla’i, minimnya tingkat pengetahuan masyarakat akan penggunaan rasm dalam penulisan Al-Qur’an, dan penggunaan Al-Itqān karya as-Suyūṭī sebagai rujukan.
Tafsir Nuzuli Karya Ulama Nusantara: Studi atas Kitab Tafsir Sinar Karya Abdul Malik Ahmad
Authors: Fikri Khairul
Published: May 2023

Artikel ini menganalisis kitab Tafsir Sinar karya ulama Nusantara asal Sumatera Barat bernama Abdul Malik Ahmad (1912-1993). Kitab Tafsir Sinar berbeda dengan karya-karya sezamannya, seperti Tafsir Al-Azhar karya Buya Hamka dan Tafsir Al-Mishbah karya Quraish Shihab karena disusun dengan tartīb nuzūliy surah. Menggunakan penelitian library research dan pendekatan deskriptif-analitis, artikel ini menganalisis bagaimana latar belakang penulisan, karakteristik atau metodologi, dan penafsiran Malik Ahmad dalam kitab Tafsir Sinar. Penelitian ini menemukan bahwa Malik Ahmad menulis tafsirnya agar spirit Al-Qur’an dipahami sebagaimana saat diturunkan pada masa awal. Dengan menerapkan sistematika penyajian yang runtut dengan penjelasan yang rinci di dalam tafsirnya, Malik Ahmad menggabungkan pemahaman yang bersumber dari beberapa riwayat dengan pemikirannya, dan merujuk tafsir lain sebagai penguat. Gaya bahasa yang dipakai adalah gaya reportase dan tidak terikat dengan kaidah penulisan ilmiah. Dalam proses penafsiran, ia juga melakukan fragmentasi dengan membagi suatu surah ke dalam beberapa kelompok ayat, kemudian menjelaskan munāsabah antar kelompok ayat tersebut.

Objective: Despite the emotional challenges of parental adjustment to a child’s type 1 diabetes diagnosis and the unique complexities of early childhood, there are few programs designed to meet the needs of parents of young children at new-onset. This study evaluated First STEPS, a stepped-care behavioral intervention designed to support parents’ psychosocial functioning and promote children’s glycemic outcomes.

Research Design and Methods: Using a two-site randomized clinical trial design, parents (n=157) of children age 1-6 years completed baseline data within 2 months of diabetes diagnosis and were randomized to intervention (n=115) or usual care (n=42) for 9 months. Intervention steps included: (1) peer parent coaching, with step-ups to (2) structured behavioral counseling, and (3) professional consultations with a diabetes educator and psychologist, based on parent mood and child HbA1c. Participants completed follow-ups at 9- and 15-months post-randomization. Primary outcomes were parent depressive symptoms and child HbA1c.

Results: Depressive symptoms improved in both groups, and intervention parents had significantly lower depressive symptoms at 9- and 15-month follow-ups compared to usual care. HbA1c decreased in both groups, but there were no between-group differences at 9- or 15-months. 

Conclusions: FIRST Steps improved parents’ mood following young children’s type 1 diabetes diagnosis. Results indicate likely benefits of parent coach support, supplemented by intervention intensifications including behavioral intervention and diabetes education. This model has high potential for patient engagement. The absence of a medical intervention component may explain null findings for HbA1c; incorporating targeted behavioral support for intensive diabetes treatment may maximize intervention impact.
