The Effects of Time-Averaging on Archaeological Networks
Authors: Daems Dries , Coco Emily , Gillreath-Brown Andrew , Kafetzaki Danai
Published: March 2023

It is well recognized that time-averaging of archaeological deposits results in significant biases in interpretations of the archaeological record. In this study, we investigate the biases introduced by time-averaging in the study of social and economic networks from the archaeological record. Using three different archaeological network datasets, we combine network slices from multiple time periods to mimic the effects of time-averaging to understand how the palimpsest nature of the archaeological record affects our interpretations of the network. The results of our analysis indicate that time-averaging reduces the fidelity of network interpretations compared to the non-time-averaged networks when analyzing network or node properties. Our results also showed that the effects of time-averaging are highly dependent on initial network structures. This makes it difficult to establish general rules for how to interpret time-averaged networks in archaeology. However, our study shows that it is of paramount importance that archaeologists are aware of these biases and evaluate the reliability of their data accordingly.
Approach to multi-disaster risk assessment and policy recommendation for disaster resilient urban development: A study of Birgunj–Simara Corridor
Authors: Ghimire Motilal
Published: March 2023

This study identified multiple nature of disasters in Tarai in general and Birgunj - Simara Urban Corridor, one of the hotspots of urbanization in Nepal in particular. Using geospatial technology, secondary sources of information, and stakeholder’s consultations, this study evaluated floods, earthquakes, windstorms, and fire impacts, identified factors contributing to vulnerability, and solutions for increasing resilience. Although rivers have limited floodplains, floods have been increased because of floodplain encroachment, improper drainage, land use changes in upper catchment, and climate change. Although the earthquake could have a high impact, the seismicity is low compared to the national context. During pre- and monsoon seasons, windstorms have a high impact over a limited area and are hard to predict. Fires are not widespread in the settlements but common during hot, dry months due to compact rural settlements, nonresilient house designs, and inadequate safety measures. Besides, lack of adaptation capacity as a result of poor awareness, widespread poverty, and poor disaster response have contributed to a high vulnerability to multihazards. Mitigation actions identified include risk-sensitive land use planning, flood control and hydraulic structure design, efficient urban drainage, waste management, resilient housing, and disaster safety plans. Local communities should be involved in developing early warning systems, disaster preparedness, and response measures.

Can ChatGPT improve communication in hospitals?
Authors: Santandreu-Calonge David , Medina-Aguerrebere Pablo , Hultberg Patrik , Shah Mariam-Aman
Published: March 2023

Hospitals’ use of communication is a crucial aspect of patient care, yet medical material is often hard to read and understand for patients. Issues related to lack of standardization, use of jargon, reliance on outdated technology, poor coordination between health personnel, and shortage of healthcare workers lead to miscommunication, delays, and errors in patient care. By improving communication, hospitals can improve patient care and outcomes, and perhaps lower costs. This opinion piece compares current communication methods with the use of ChatGPT technology to explore whether ChatGPT can improve the efficiency and accuracy of communication in healthcare settings and, hence, improve patient care. While natural language processing (NLP) tools such as ChatGPT and other artificial-intelligence-generated content (AIGC) have tremendous potential to be very useful in healthcare, they should not be solely used as a substitute for humans and should therefore be used with caution.
EFEITO DA MOBILIZAÇÃO NEURAL NO TRATAMENTO DA DOR EM INDIVÍDUOS COM CERVICOBRAQUIALGIA: UMA REVISÃO SISTEMÁTICA
Authors: Sousa Melo Márcia Monique , Cavadas dos Santos Vitor , Dominguez Ferraz Daniel
Published: March 2023

A cervicobraquialgia CB é caracterizada por uma dor com origem em diferentes níveis estruturais da coluna cervical baixa (C3- C7), com irradiação bilateral ou unilateral para o membro superior. Considerando as causas e consequências advindas da CB, novas modalidades de tratamento têm sido propostas na tentativa de promover intervenções efetivas. Entre os procedimentos fisioterapêuticos encontram-se as técnicas de terapia manual como liberação miofascial, quiropraxia, mobilização articular, estabilização segmentar e a mobilização neural (MN) que procura restabelecer a função do tecido neural, sua condução elétrica, elasticidade, movimento e fluxo axoplasmático. Sendo assim, o objetivo do estudo foi avaliar sistematicamente as evidências sobre o efeito da MN no tratamento da dor em indivíduos com CB. A busca bibliográfica foi realizada no período entre novembro de 2018 a junho de 2019, sem limite de ano de publicação, nas bases de dados: PEDro, PubMed, Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde (Lilacs, Scielo e Medline) e Cochrane Library. A análise foi restrita a ensaios clínicos randomizados. Para a análise metodológica dos artigos aptos a inclusão, foi utilizada a escala Pedro. Foram encontrados um total de 38 artigos. Após remoção de duplicatas, 14 artigos foram elegidos por resumo, 8 artigos foram recuperados para leitura completa e analisados quanto a sua adequação, dos quais 3 foram excluídos por não cumprirem os critérios de elegibilidade, ao fim 5 artigos foram incluídos na revisão. Houve redução significativa da dor, em pacientes tratados com MN. Considerando os resultados obtidos nesta revisão, foi possível concluir que a MN demonstra ser eficaz na redução da dor presente na CB. Embora os estudos mostrem que os resultados da MN como tratamento da CB são significativamente inferiores ao efeito do Ibuprofeno, deve-se ter em consideração as consequências, a longo prazo para a saúde, do uso de anti- inflamatórios orais.

Published: March 2023

Background: Population studies using accelerometers to estimate physical inactivity in elderlies have been carried out in developed countries. In Brazil, these studies are limited to subjective measures. Objective: to identify through an accelerometer the prevalence and factors associated with physical inactivity in elderly residents in São Paulo, Brazil. Methods: This is a cross-sectional population-base study conducted with 543 elderly individuals (mean 73.8 years) using data from the SABE study (Health, Welfare and Ageing). The level of physical activity was measured using accelerometers, and the participants categorized into inactive with 30 minutes moderate and/or vigorous activity daily. The independent variables were sociodemographic, anthropometric, clinical, and lifestyle. The association of the dependent variable with the independent variables was conducted using multiple regression analysis. Results: Of the elderlies evaluated, 85.4% were physically inactive (men = 74.3% and women = 91.9%). Elderlies aged >75 years (OR=4.67 [1.87 to 11.66]), women (OR=2.26 [1.15 to 4.44]), with high waist circumference (OR=2.93 [1.41 to 6.12]), high number of comorbidities (OR=2.27 [1.22 to 4.23]), and chronic pain (OR=2.54 [1.32 to 4.88]) were associated independently with physical inactivity. Conclusion: The prevalence of physical inactivity in elderly individuals aged 65 or over is appalling and associated with sociodemographic, anthropometric, and clinical variables.

ANÁLISE DOS ESPAÇOS E EQUIPAMENTOS DE LAZER DE SEIS MUNICÍPIOS DA ZONA DA MATA DE MINAS GERAIS
Authors: Cassimiro Ana Carolina Lopes , Souza Ederley Emanuel , Gonçalves Victor Lana
Published: March 2023

Ao se considerar o tempo necessário para a fruição do lazer, é relevante pensar aonde esses momentos/atividades podem se desenvolver nas sociedades contemporâneas, especificamente quanto à existência de espaços e equipamentos destinados ou não para este fim. Frente a isso, este estudo se desenvolveu com o objetivo de identificar e analisar os espaços e equipamentos de lazer de seis municípios da Zona da Mata Mineira, bem como verificar onde estão, como são utilizados e quais os contrastes existentes entre eles. Considerando o fenômeno abordado, a pesquisa é de natureza quali-quantitativa, de caráter observacional, através do qual o investigador atua apenas como espectador de fenômenos ou fatos, sem interferir ou realizar qualquer intervenção que venha a modificar o desfecho dos mesmos. Para cumprir o proposto, foi realizado um levantamento bibliográfico acerca do tema a fim de nortear este estudo. Posteriormente foi realizada a coleta de dados, que incluiu visitas aos municípios, identificação dos espaços e equipamentos de lazer, registro fotográfico dos mesmos e observação detalhada em relação ao uso. Os resultados indicam que o lazer não é destaque na mesorregião quando se trata de políticas públicas referentes à criação de novos espaços e equipamentos, tampouco para a manutenção dos já existentes. Há pouca diversificação dos equipamentos, visto o predomínio de quadras poliesportivas e campos de futebol nas cidades mapeadas, em razão de o esporte ser um fenômeno social e cultural de extrema importância desde o início deste século. Neste estudo, portanto, conclui-se que a mera existência dos espaços e equipamentos não garante a promoção de práticas relacionadas ao lazer. Faz-se necessário que o poder público invista em ações de fomento à democratização do lazer, sobretudo na criação de políticas públicas que incrementem e organizem as práticas do mesmo, contemplando a população e os seus diferentes interesses culturais.

Content Analysis of Interview on Engaged Fatherhood
Authors: Doghonadze Natela
Published: March 2023

The article involves an exploratory study. It mainly reviews articles published in 2010s dealing with fatherhood issue. It has revealed that the typical behaviour of fathers nowadays is related with the changes in society concerning the understanding of masculinity and femininity. The relatively new concept of caring masculinity is being reflected in legislation of many countries, however, there are barriers to its realization due to employer resistance. The society should realize that it benefits from father involvement in child’s life (engagement in child’s entertainment and educational activities, moral and financial responsibility for the child), as happier and more stable families have to be borne in mind while creating obstacles to fathers sharing the baby care with mothers. A convenience purposive sampling was applied to hold an interview with researchers. Ten people from nine various countries responded to interview questions placed on Academia platform. The keywords in the answers were codified, and their frequency was counted. It was concluded that father engagement vs. father involvement and father absence from the child’s life corresponds to the needs of contemporary society. Father engagement has individual (child, father) and social benefits, as well as individual benefits include medical, social, cognitive, and psychological benefits.

Published: March 2023

This paper proposes the Maximum Power Point Tracking MPPT method based on the Incremental Conductance INC algorithm. The primary goal is to prevent the ripple problem that is occurred in the output responses of the solar panel system. This last includes the KC200GT panel system, while using it to supply a resistive load throughout the DC-DC boost converter. This goal is reached through respecting the two following steps. First, the INC algorithm modified so that it produces an optimal reference voltage rather than a duty cycle control, which is often utilized in the standard INC-MPPT control strategy for controlling the switch button of the DC-DC boost converter. Second, the solar system behavior is modeled by the linear small-signal model for the design of the voltage PID controller. At each sample, a voltage discrepancy is generated as a result of comparing the previous reference voltage to the one delivered by the KC200GT panel where the introduction of the voltage PID controller becoming indispensable. These two steps create the development of a novel strategy that is afterwards known as improved INC-MPPT. The performance assessments of the proposed strategy are carried out by simulation using MATLAB®/SIMULINK software, and the obtained results reveal the crucial importance of including the voltage PID controller to overcome the ripple issue, occurred when applying the standard INC-MPPT control strategy.

Вступ. Унаслідок широкомасштабної вій­ськової агресії проти України на глобальному та національному рівні спостерігаються сут­тєві структурні трансформації, що призвели до логістичної кризи не тільки в Україні, але й у країнах Європейського Союзу. Важливо визначити шляхи формування адаптивних, гнуч­ких ланцюгів постачання, які забезпечать від­новлення економіки України під час воєнного стану та в повоєнний період. Проблема. Одним із актуальних завдань в умовах нестабільного середовища є обґрун­тування науково-методичного інструментарію оцінки ризиків функціонування адаптивного ланцюга постачання. Мета статті – визначити проблеми, пов’я­зані з формуванням ланцюгів постачання під час воєнного стану в Україні, і надати реко­мендації щодо мінімізації ризиків у логістич­ній галузі. Методи. Застосовано загальнонаукові методи аналізу та синтезу, порівняння, виокрем­лення, узагальнення й результуючої система­тизації інформації. Результати дослідження. В умовах воєн­ного стану в Україні логістична та торго­вельна галузі зазнали найбільших втрат. Під­приємства вимушені застосовувати нові під­ходи до оптимізації ланцюгів постачання, використовуючи нові форми співробітництва, а саме ніаршоринг, оншоринг, френдшоринг. Роз­дрібні торговельні мережі активно викори­стовують різні способи колаборації при фор­муванні ланцюгів постачання. Авторами запро­поновано заходи щодо адаптації формування ланцюгів у повоєнний період. Для усунення можливих ризиків функціонування ланцюгів постачання запропоновано оцінювання ризиків у ланцюгу постачання за методом FMEA. Висновки. Для забезпечення адаптивних ланцюгів постачання підприємствам торгівлі необхідно забезпечити гнучкість процесу по­стачання, швидку реакцію на зміни та поси­лення взаємодії з постачальниками, пошук та оптимізацію шляхів доставки товарів і опти­мальне розміщення складських комплексів. Запропонована методика оцінювання ризиків у ланцюзі постачання допоможе підпри­єм­ствам їх уникнути.

Surgical, functional, and oncological considerations regarding awake resection for giant diffuse lower-grade glioma of more than 100 cm3
Authors: Sauvageot Sidonie , Boetto Julien , Duffau Hugues

OBJECTIVE

Surgery for giant diffuse lower-grade gliomas (LGGs) is challenging, and very few data have been reported on this topic in the literature. In this article, the authors investigated surgical, functional, and oncological aspects in patients who underwent awake resection for large LGGs with a volume > 100 cm3.

METHODS

The authors retrospectively reviewed a consecutive cohort of patients who underwent surgery in an awake condition for an LGG (WHO grade 2 with possible foci of grade 3 transformation) with a volume > 100 cm3.

RESULTS

A total of 108 patients were included, with a mean age of 36.1 ± 8.5 years. The mean presurgical LGG volume was 136.7 ± 34.5 cm3. In all but 2 patients a disconnection resective surgery up to functional boundaries was possible thanks to active patient collaboration during the awake period. At 3 months of follow-up, all but 1 patient had a normal neurological examination, with a mean Karnofsky Performance Status (KPS) score of 89.8 ± 10.36. In all patients with preoperative epilepsy, there was postoperative control or significant reduction of seizure events. Moreover, 85.1% of patients returned to work. The mean extent of resection (EOR) was 88.9% ± 7.0%, with a mean residual tumor volume (RTV) of 16.3 ± 12.0 cm3 (median RTV 15 cm3). Pathological examination revealed 73 grade 2 gliomas (67.6%; 26 oligodendrogliomas and 47 astrocytomas) and 35 gliomas with foci of grade 3 (32.4%; 19 oligodendrogliomas and 16 astrocytomas). During the postoperative period, 93.6% of patients underwent adjuvant chemotherapy with a median interval between surgery and first chemotherapy of 14 months (IQR 2–26 months), and 55% of patients had radiotherapy with a median interval of 38.5 months (IQR 18–59.8 months). At the last follow-up, 69.7% of patients were still alive with a median follow-up of 62 months (IQR 36–99 months). Overall survival (OS) rates at 1, 5, and 10 years were 100% (95% CI 0.99–1), 80% (95% CI 0.72–0.9), and 58% (95% CI 0.45–0.73), respectively. The median OS was 138 months. In multivariable Cox regression analysis, RTV was established as the only independent prognostic factor for survival.

CONCLUSIONS

With the application of rigorous surgical methodology based on functional-guided resection, resection of giant LGGs (volume > 100 cm3) can be reproducibly achieved during surgery with patients under awake mapping with both favorable functional results (< 1% permanent neurological worsening) and favorable long-term oncological outcomes (median OS > 11 years, with a more significant benefit when the RTV is < 15 cm3).

OBJECTIVE

Endoscopic mini-invasive treatment for sporadic trigonocephaly is becoming a widely accepted surgical treatment. In most centers this treatment is performed in association with postoperative helmeting. The aim of the present study was to review and report the authors’ 11-year experience of endoscope-assisted metopic suturectomy for treatment of 62 trigonocephaly patients without helmet use.

METHODS

For this retrospective study, clinical data of 62 consecutive pediatric patients (age 3–8 months) were obtained from the data bank of the “Anna Meyer” Children Hospital. These patients had been diagnosed with trigonocephaly (type II and III) and undergone surgery performed with a mini-invasive endoscopic technique during the period from January 2011 to January 2022. No helmet was used postoperatively in these patients, and they were evaluated through craniometric measurements, pre-/postoperative photographs, and parents’ impressions, as well as thorough clinical examinations during follow-up appointments.

RESULTS

The mean patient follow-up period was 6 ± 1.3 years. The female/male ratio was 1:2; 52% of the patients presented with type II trigonocephaly and the remaining patients with type III. The mean age at surgery was 153 ± 44 days (5 ± 1.5 months, range 3–8 months). In 92% of the patients the surgical outcome was defined as good to excellent. However, 4 patients presented with an unsatisfactory outcome, including 1 patient with a CSF collection requiring surgical repair 2 months after the first surgery and 1 patient who developed infection of the surgical wound and needed a second surgery. In the latter patient the outcome was evaluated as satisfactory, and no sequelae regarding the infection were encountered during follow-up.

CONCLUSIONS

According to the authors’ experience, endoscopic metopic suturectomy alone, without the use of a helmet, is a valid surgical option for trigonocephaly treatment, and its application can be considered in patients of older age groups (up to 8 months). Thus, in the right patient selection context, this technique represents the treatment of choice.
Determinants of Cost of Capital: Kenyan context

Published: March 2023

The purpose of this paper was to look at the determinants of the cost of capital for a firm. The study conducted a literature review with the goal of identifying the factors that influence the cost of capital for a firm. The research showed that profitability, liquidity, tax, growth, size, and age of the company are among the major determinants that influence the cost of capital for a firm. Further the research showed a positive correlation between the cost of capital and profitability, liquidity, growth, size, and age of the company. The capital arrangement of a firm is determined on account of the pecking order theory and trade-off theory while bearing in mind the cost elements associated with it. In Kenya, economic stability and political stability are the primary determinants that determine the cost of capital for a firm. This determining factor influences the availability and cost of credit offered by financial institutions in Kenya.
Вібраційні пересувні пристрої у робототехнічних системах

Підвищення ефективності виробництва, збільшення випуску продукції і поліпшення її якості за одночасного зниження трудових витрат, удосконалення форм організації та управління виробництвом є основою розвитку машинобудування. Це забезпечується вдосконаленням існуючих і впровадженням нових видів устаткування, технологічних процесів і засобів їх механізації та автоматизації, створенням нових технологічних комплексів, де всі ці питання взаємопов’язані і комплексно вирішуються.

Транспортувальні засоби забезпечують безперервність, ритм роботи всіх структурних одиниць потокового виробництва – від складських операцій, подачі технологічного об’єкта, робочого процесу оброблення до виходу готової продукції. Перспективним у цьому питанні є використання машин з дистанційним та автоматичним керуванням, зокрема промислових роботів у гнучких автоматизованих комплексах та автоматизації складальних процесів різних виробництв.

Оснащення маніпулятора додатковими координатними ступенями рухомості (від однієї до трьох) збільшує його робочу зону, підвищує універсальність, розширює технологічні можливості. Розвиток промислових роботів та зростання їх функціональних можливостей створює нові і вдосконалює відомі механічні й керувальні системи, розширює ряд їх різновидів. Проте така досконалість автоматизованого обладнання породжує нові технічні завдання щодо спрощення конструктивних елементів роботів та систем, які обслуговують їхню роботу на виробництві.

Під час виконання деяких технологічних операцій, наприклад у радіоелектроніці, виникає потреба в пристроях, за допомогою яких можна швидко здійснювати точні невеликі маніпуляційні переміщення виробів малої маси. Проте в таких умовах до них ставляться підвищені вимоги щодо швидкодії й точності. У цьому разі раціональним було б використання мікроманіпуляторів, встановлених на вібраційних пересувних пристроях (самохідних платформах), які мають три ступені рухомості: незалежні прямолінійні переміщення у двох взаємно перпендикулярних напрямах та обертання навколо осі. Такі самохідні системи уможливлюють рух за криволінійною траєкторією та здійснення реверсу.

The Comparative Significance of Christian Virginity and Marriage: Explanation of the Words of the Apostle Paul (1 Cor. 7, 26) by the Ante-Nicene Fathers
Authors: Климов Г.
Published: March 2023

В предлагаемой статье внимание читателя направляется на два пути спасения и христианских добродетели — девства и брака. Автор подробно освещает учение о превосходстве девства над браком и приходит к выводу, что отцы Церкви, давая нравственно-религиозную оценку девства и брака, имели в виду не само девственное или брачное состояние, а те условия и средства, которыми человек располагает при достижении духовного совершенства.

In the proposed article, the reader’s attention is directed to two paths of salvation and Christian virtues — virginity and marriage. The author covers in detail the doctrine of the superiority of virginity over marriage and comes to the conclusion that the Fathers of the Church, giving a moral and religious assessment of virginity and marriage, had in mind not the virginal or marital state itself, but those conditions and means that a person has when achieving spiritual perfection.

Seeing data like a state: A case of Open Government Data in India’s livelihoods program
Authors: Hanbal Rajesh Dinesh , Prakash Amit , Srinivasan Janaki
Published: March 2023

Open Government Data (OGD) initiatives promise to make governments transparent, enabling citizens to participate actively in governance. Yet, empirical evidence suggests that OGD doesn’t have the democratic impact that its advocates expect. Based on a 14-month ethnography of India’s livelihood program, we argue that the assumptions underlying the design of OGD initiatives vary with citizens’ social context. We show how OGD initiatives are state-centric in their design to make the functioning of the everyday state legible towards controlling corruption. However, citizens and social activists do not always share such an “anti-corruption” view in their engagement with the everyday state. Instead, they prioritise “getting things done”, i.e. accessing the state’s services. The state-centric OGD is of limited value to them due to its techno-official language and its emphasis on aggregate datasets. We suggest complementing state-centric OGD with citizen-centric OGD to enable the citizens to “see the state”.
