Case Report of a Recurrent Monomorphic Ventricular Tachycardia in a Patient with Myocarditis - Importance of Targeting Midmyocardial Anatomic Substrate
Authors: Tedrow Usha , Batnyam Uyanga , Hoyos-Ochoa Carolina , Romero Jorge
Published: June 2024

A 56-year-old man with non-ischemic cardiomyopathy with three prior
ablations targeting two different MMVTs presented with recurrent VT.
Therefore, he underwent epicardial mapping with adjuvant CT imaging
which demonstrated midmyocardial scar. Fractionated potentials noted
during mapping in this region, and entrainment suggested inner loop.
Interestingly, pacing showed two different QRS morphologies identical to
his previously ablated VTs with a long stim-QRS at this region.
Epicardial ablation carried on during the VT successfully terminated it,
but the VT remained inducible and required endocardial ablation to make
it noninducible. The patient has been VT-free for 12 months following
this ablation off antiarrhythmic drugs.
Can Standard Setters Improve Cash Flow Reporting of Capital Expenditures?
Authors: Liang Mayer Chunzi , Linsmeier Thomas J.
Published: June 2024

SYNOPSIS

We evaluate whether current capital expenditures (capex) reporting in the cash flows statement can be improved via disaggregation and/or reclassification of some capex as operating activities. FASB Concept Statement No. 5 suggests recurrence and risk as useful characteristics for determining disaggregation and classification in financial statements. Using a novel German dataset that provides disaggregated capex information, we examine whether these characteristics differ across capex components and provide evidence of up to five economically distinct components. These results support disaggregating capex into maintenance, expansion, rationalization, restructuring, and environmental components. Our findings, however, do not support reclassifying any capex component as operating activities, although evidence suggests capex and capex components are misclassified as investing activities. As a first step toward improving capex reporting guidance, our evidence suggests standard setters consider disaggregating and presenting capex components as supplemental information in the cash flow statement, the footnotes, or MD&A.

Data Availability: FactSet data are publicly available. The disaggregated capital expenditures data are available from the ifo Institute.

THE USE OF RAMIE FIBERS EPOXY COMPOSITE IN IPSC TRAINING TARGETS: A COST OF GOODS SOLD (COGS) ANALYSIS
Authors: Margem Frederico Muylaert , Nicole David , Soares Hugo Gil , Zangerolame Rodolfo Albino , Monteiro Sergio Neves
Published: June 2024

This article presents a study on the use of natural fibers as reinforcement of epoxy resin in an application of IPSC training targets. In the present research, DGEBA/TETA epoxy matrix composites were manufactured in association with 30% in volume of ramie fibers (Boehmeria nivea). The composites were manufactured according to IPSC practice standards to compare the resulting product with targets currently available in the market. The plate was molded in humanoid shape with dimensions (LxWxH) ‎42x26x3 cm. Ramie fibers were used with no treatment, the fiber underwent a washing and drying process at electric oven. The product manufacturing process was divided into several stages to assess all the expenses and costs inherent in the process. The stages separation allowed for obtaining all the material manufacturing costs and the calculation of the Cost of Goods Sold (COGS). The entire analysis pointed out a significant use of labor hours in manual processes, such as fiber washing, resin mixing with its hardener, and also material molding. These processes generate high costs in the manufacturing process. These elements increased the Cost of Goods Sold and can be reduced through simple practices such as mechanizing the production line and automating processes. However, such actions require a return on investment analysis to ensure that the expenses incurred will be recovered.

Published: June 2024

The current study was conducted during 2022–23 and the data was collected for twenty years from 2001–02 to 2020–21 from different sources. India is the leading producer of Fruits as well as vegetables after China, producing about 99.07 million mt of fruits and 191.77 million mt of vegetables. Even though we are the largest producer,the wastage of horticultural commodities is very large due to improper post-harvest management and lack of awareness about storage.The commodity specific processing, preservation and value-addition should be used to reduce the wastage which will also increase the income of the farmers by exporting them to different countries. This study is proposed to analyse the commodity specific export in the processed fruits exports from India. The major products of processed fruits exports identified are jam, jelly and marmalades, mango pulp, dried fruits, juices, squash and preserved berries. The Compound annual growth rates were calculated and it was found that jam, jelly and marmalades had higher growth rate of 17% in terms of volume of export and dried fruits exports showed higher growth rate in terms of value with CAGR of 10.31%. Hence, scientific methods of value-addition and packaging facilities should be developed in the country to compete with the global processing industries which will increase the export to many countries.
Logical Views of Dmytro Chyzhevskyi
Authors: Plakhtiy Marianna
Published: June 2024

The article analyzes the logical-philosophical ideas of D. Chyzhevskyi based on his own lectures on logic. D. Chyzhevskyi is an outstanding scholar in the history of Ukrainian humanities. The study of his logical heritage reveals his scientific versatility, deep philosophical understanding, and orientation in new directions of logic. The purpose of the research is to conduct a theoretical analysis of D. Chyzhevskyi's logical research from the perspective of their problematic nature, methodology, content, and delineation of existing trends in logic. The methodological principles of the research are historical, hermeneutic, and comparative methods. The study of logic has always been a propaedeutic not only for philosophical knowledge but also for preparation for scientific activity in any field. D.Chyzhevskyi understands the significance of logic. He defines logic as a philosophical science that has own object and studies the forms of assertions and negations. In the structure of logical knowledge, he distinguishes: the theory of concepts, judgments, inference, as well as methodology and the theory of science. D. Chyzhevskyi identifies six directions of logic: empirical logic, mathematical logic, Kant's transcendental logic, the historical methodology of logic, systematics, and the criticism of psychologism in logic. There is a significant amount of explanations related to mathematical logic in D.Chyzhevskyi's textbook. He analyzes the views of de Morgan, J. Bull, St. Jevons, D. Peano, E. Schroeder, L. Couture, B. Russell, J. Royce, O. Weblin. According to Chyzhevskyi, the advantages of mathematical logic are the possibility of building a more precise science through the establishment of a system of axioms and rigorous proof of theorems.
The Principle of Self-Reliance and the Concept of Spiritual Laws in the Transcendentalism of Ralph Waldo Emerson
Authors: Ben Bohdan
Published: June 2024

The article analyzes the combination of the concept of spiritual laws and the principle of self-reliance in the philosophy of American transcendentalist R. W. Emerson. This analysis reveals the meaning of such combination and the relationship between freedom of creativity and spiritual laws, culminating in a fusion of individualism and holistic principles in R. W. Emerson's philosophy. In the historical-philosophical aspect, R. W. Emerson's reinterpretation of Neoplatonic and Christian teachings on unity around the one God is examined. His idea of freedom, which is not subject to law but is enabled by the integrity of Being thanks to laws, is analyzed. The author considers the influence of these theses of R. W. Emerson's philosophy on W. James and the relevance of some Jamesian pragmatic arguments regarding faith to explain and justify R. W. Emerson's theories. The article also examines the affinity between R. W. Emerson's ideas and European, in particular H. Bergson's irrationalism. For R. V. Emerson, creativity is the meaning and purpose of life. A person becomes creative through the self-realization of a free personality, but, on the other hand, such self-realization is possible only as a step beyond oneself, the use of one's own energy for the affirmation of super-individual values, as well as on the basis of understanding and observing spiritual laws. This is the key to the growth of a person's creative energy and, accordingly, makes it possible to rely on oneself.

Pre-service Teachers Reflections on Their Ability to Conduct Authentic Dialogue in Preschool after Training Program Participation
Authors:   Kaye Academic College of Education, Be'er Sheva, Israel, Shapir Barbara
Published: June 2024

Educators that undergo training in diverse pedagogical approaches enhance their instructional abilities, enabling them to form quality interactions with children and foster an overall positive classroom atmosphere (Hoy, et al., 2006). Training programs should carefully consider, acknowledge and respect teacher's prior beliefs regarding their role, while addressing any apprehensions they may have during their student teaching experience. Pre-service teachers are at a unique juncture in their professional development. Simultaneously, they are students with limited abilities but yet must meet high levels of performance as teachers (Fives, et al., 2007). The authentic dialogue training program's main goal was to enable students to be autonomous thinkers and doers while engaging in open dialogues with preschoolers. Deci and Ryan (2002) state that a learning environment that is autonomous and supportive rather than controlling, motivates teachers to integrate and implement new knowledge into their professional practices. The knowledge they required in the authentic dialogue training program was taught through practical interactive seminars, this boosted their sense of self-confidence and enhanced their ability to implement the techniques learned into their dialogues with preschoolers. The assumption was that this approach would empower the pre-service teachers to enable the child to lead the dialogue based on their personal interests. This may be achieved through active listening and shifting away from a teacher-led dialogue (Alexander, 2018).

This study aims to test the effect of a program intended to promote personal and professional well-being for kindergarten teachers. The program is based on positive psychology and social-emotional learning (SEL) principles. Seventy-seven kindergarten teachers from Israel participated in the study. The research tools used were four questionnaires that had to be filled out at the program's beginning and end. The results indicate that the program was able to promote the personal and professional well-being of kindergarten teachers, lower the level of stress they experience in their work, and increase the degree of job satisfaction. These findings were achieved through practical and applied tools for their daily and professional lives based on the PARMA model of positive psychology and the SEL model. The research findings have an important value in raising awareness of the issue and implementing similar programs as an integral part of the training processes of kindergarten teachers and their professional development processes.
Civic Conscience, the True Educational Ideal in John Dewey and Jean Piaget
Authors:   “Ștefan cel Mare” University, Suceava, Romania, Siminiceanu Irina
Published: June 2024

In a world heavily challenged by new historical and technological developments, the civic conscience of the individual must regain a defining importance in the education process. As the culmination of efforts to shape the new generations, it reinstates democratic values in schools, so that we can find them later in society. Here, I will illustrate that two great philosophers of education, John Dewey and Jean Piaget, have already shown that educational systems should primarily aim towards civic conscience, even though neither of them uses the term explicitly. New solutions must be sought to reintegrate society into schools as an educational material, to foster the development of the skills that the citizen of tomorrow will need, a citizen who will not only have the mission to restore balance but also to ensure the progress of society.
Tropical-Subtropical South American midsummer precipitation under ENSO events
Authors: Hurtado Santiago I. , Agosta Eduardo A. , Zaninelli Pablo G.
Published: June 2024

El Ni˜no-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) is the major forcing of interannual precipitation variability over South America (SA), especially from September to December, through a convection dipole over the South Atlantic Convergence Zone (SACZ) region and southeastern SA (SESA). However, the forcing mechanisms for midsummer (January) precipitation under ENSO events is less known. A cluster analysis applied to January OLR anomalies over Tropical-Subtropical SA under ENSO events depicts two clusters linked to the signs of the convection dipole between SACZ region and SESA. Most La Ni˜na (LN) events (10 out of 13 events) are associated with enhanced convection over SESA and inhibited convection over SACZ region in January. El Ni˜ño (EN) events show both signs of the convection dipole in equal proportions, evidencing a non-linear response. In January, for EN and LN, enhanced (inhibited) convection over SESA and inhibited (enhanced) convection over SACZ region are associated with anticyclonic (cyclonic) tropospheric circulation over southeast Brazil, as observed in EN (LN) spring. During LN events, lower tropospheric circulation in January depends on the local thermodynamic conditions over central east Brazil in the previous months (Nov-Dec). If there are dry and warm (wet and cold) conditions over central east Brazil in Nov-Dec, a thermal low (high) sets up. In contrast, under EN events if the dry and warm conditions over east Brazil in Nov-Dec are overall weak, an anticyclonic tropospheric circulation is established in southeast Brazil in January due to a predominant large-scale anomalous Walker cell. Lastly, the studied relationship may be used to build and assess sub-seasonal forecasting tools for January precipitation anomalies.
“Elimínese el Gómez”: Ramón de la Serna y Espina y su colaboración en la editorial Cruz del Sur. Historia de un equívoco en el marco de un magno proyecto del exilio republicano en Chile
Authors: Rodríguez Ferrer Rocío
Published: June 2024

El artículo pretende contribuir al conocimiento de una de las más renombradas editoriales del exilio republicano en Chile: Cruz del Sur, fundada en 1941 por Arturo Soria, y que contó con la colaboración, entre otros, de los españoles José Ferrater Mora y José Ricardo Morales y de los chilenos Manuel Rojas y José Santos González Vera. De modo específico, interesa estudiar la colección Itinerarios, a cargo del escritor, traductor y crítico cultural hispanochileno Ramón de la Serna y Espina. Con ello, se corregirá el error generalizado en la crítica especializada, que insiste en confundir su figura con la de Ramón Gómez de la Serna, además de negar la salida a la luz de algún volumen de la colección. La investigación realizada nos ha permitido comprobar que De la Serna y Espina presentó la colección en 1943 con un claro trazado editorial, con el viaje como geografía literaria. En este relevar el tránsito como condición cultural fundamental, en 1949 se publica, con prólogo de Ramón de la Serna, El correo de Bagdad. Del Irak a Siria por la ruta clásica de los mercaderes, del también hispanochileno Adolfo Rivadeneyra. A pesar de tratarse del único volumen de la colección Itinerarios, permite visualizar la importancia concedida al intercambio y el flujo trasatlántico por los intelectuales españoles y chilenos tras el proyecto editorial Cruz del Sur, en especial por aquellos que, como el propio Ramón de la Serna y Espina, se verán a sí mismos como “descarriados peregrinos” sin itinerarios fijos.

Coronavirus Disease 19 (COVID-19), the disease caused by SARS-CoV-2, was declared a pandemic in early 2020. With the emergence of different strains of SARS-CoV-2 mutations, efforts to reduce infection rates and help vulnerable populations remain in question. Genomic surveillance has been carried out on COVID-19 cases to detect new variants and monitor trends in circulating variants. Genomic surveillance is important because it can detect virus characteristics, estimate the prevalence of specific variants in the community, assess the extent to which medication can combat the variants, and analyze virus transmission in outbreaks. The purpose of this study was to investigate the prevalence of SARS-CoV-2 genomic variants in West Java and to inform policymakers in developing strategies to reduce the transmission rate of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. According to the inclusion criteria, variant sequence data were acquired from Global Initiative on Sharing All Influenza Data (GISAID) for the period January 1st, 2021-December 31st, 2022 and evaluated cross-sectional descriptively. This data were obtained from West Java. The majority of the samples came from Bandung Regency, where the Delta (AY), BA1 and BA5 variations predominated. The dynamic of the SARS-CoV-2 cases was influenced by government policies such as imposition of the restriction on community activities and public holiday. Because SARS-CoV-2 is subject to mutations, the various varieties must still be monitored to determine the influence on society. In the future, surveillance for any microorganisms with the potential to cause epidemics is urgently needed in order to mitigate the spread of the disease.

Patients infected with Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19), especially those with comorbidities, immunosuppressive treatment, intubated, and on ventilators, are more likely to contract fungal infection. This study aimed to describe the profile of fungal growth in sputum culture from severe and critical COVID-19 patients, and to determine the association between the fungal growth with the patient's outcome and the association between several risk factors with the fungal growth. A retrospective case-control study was carried out at Husada Utama Hospital, Surabaya. This study samples were 119 patients; fungal growth on sputum culture was seen in 64 (53.8%) patients; the three types of fungi with the highest frequency were Cryptococcus neoformans found in 23 (19.3%) patients, Candida tropicalis found in 11 (9.2%) patients and Candida dubliniensis found in 10 (8.4%) patients. There was no significant association between fungal growth and patient mortality with a p-value of 0.940 (p>0.05), also between the patient's history of diabetes mellitus and fungal growth (p=0.496) and between corticosteroid treatment and fungal growth (p=0.168). Still, there was a significant association between the use of ventilators in patients and fungal growth with a p-value of 0.001 (p<0.05). A significant association was also found between IL-6 inhibitor (Tocilizumab) treatment and fungal growth with a p-value of 0.003 (p<0.05). The most common fungi found in this study with the highest frequency was Cryptococcus neoformans. There was an association between two risk factors (the use of a ventilator and tocilizumab treatment) and fungal growth.

Hemoglobin-related disorders are among the most common inherited genetic disorders in the world. They are posing a serious health burden to the global health system. As per WHO, the highest incidence of hemoglobinopathies is in the Middle East and Indian subcontinent. Screening methods like High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) help in determining values of HbA, HbA2, and HbF and diagnosing hemoglobinopathies at the initial stages. The present study aims to determine the role of family studies using HPLC in hemoglobin-related disorders. A retrospective study of 48 months between January 2019 and January 2024, comprising 137 patients was conducted. Patients attending the Outpatient Department (OPD)and admitted to the Inpatient Department (IPD) with anemia and abnormal values of different hemoglobin (HbA, HbA2, HbF, etc.) along with family members were included in this study. Patients with less than 3 months of history of blood transfusion and less than 6 months of age were excluded from the study. A total number of 572 patients with Hb < 11 g/dL were screened. Out of 153 (26.74%) patients, 137 (23.95%) patients and their family members agreed to the family study. Among 137 patients, 72 were females and 65 were males. Therefore M:F ratio was 0.90:1. Pallor was present in 121 (88.32%) cases and splenomegaly was seen in 49 cases (35.76%). HPLC along with family studies is a quick and minimally invasive method to screen high to medium-risk large communities, which in return helps in controlling the spread of clinically dreadful homozygous state of hemoglobin disorders.

During flow boiling in a system with small (mini/micro) channels, several instabilities may occur at the same time, which overlap each other  such a phenomenon complicates the analysis of boiling dynamics. The above mentioned processes cause that the fluctuation of recorded signals occur on various time scales. Although many criteria for the stability of two-phase flows are available, their practical application is limited (they need many recorded parameter of two phase flow). Methods which we are looking for should allow flow pattern identification based on a small number (or single) recorded signals. The paper presents a new approach to the recurrence plot method combined with Principal Component Analysis and Self-Organ-izing Map analysis. The single signal of pressure drop oscillations has been analyzed and used for flow pattern identification. New method of correlation analysis of flow patterns on video frames has been presented and used for flow pattern identifica-tion. The obtained results show that pressure drop oscillations and high speed video contain enough information about flow pattern for flow pattern identification.

Two-phase flow in channels of small dimensions is often a non-stationary process, the nature of such flow is oscillatory. Due to small channel dimensions, high heat flux, parallel channels interactions, pressure and temperature oscillations, the character of the phenomena occurring during boiling is complex. The changes of the measured signals are observed in different time scales. In order to examine in detail two-phase flow parameters changes, many acquisition devices are often installed. This solution becomes challenging concerning mini and microchannel heat-exchangers due to space limitation and modifications of an experimental setup. This paper presents a novel application of multiscale entropies for spatial and temporal analysis of two-phase flow based on only one registered parameter. This analysis is performed based on pixel brightness changes in photo frames registered by a high speed camera during two-phase flow. The spatial changes of pixel brightness are observed on single frames and temporal changes are examined using a set of frames (in time). The Composite Multiscale Sample Entropy is applied to identify two-phase flow patterns and to analyze the complexity of phase distribution. Using Multivariate Mul-tiscale Sample Entropy the most rapid changes of phase distribution in a multichannel heat exchanger are determined.
