A sinalização viária é importante para a engenharia de tráfego e mobilidade urbana, porém cidades pequenas frequentemente não possuem profissionais técnicos em seu quadro funcional. Para solucionar esse problema, a cooperação técnica com instituições de ensino é uma opção valiosa. Foi realizado um projeto de cooperação técnica entre o Laboratório de Acessibilidade, Mobilidade Urbana e Transportes do IFPB Campus Cajazeiras e a Superintendência Cajazeirense de Transportes para elaborar um projeto de sinalização viária para o bairro Jardim Oásis em Cajazeiras-PB. A metodologia do projeto foi dividida em seis etapas: pré-análise, identificação das vias, levantamento de campo, dimensionamento, confecção do projeto e disseminação dos resultados. O projeto pode contribuir para a resolução de problemas relevantes, melhorando a qualidade de trafegabilidade e segurança viária nas vias, além disso, ofereceu oportunidade para os envolvidos aplicarem conhecimentos adquiridos em um contexto prático, aproximou a universidade de seu parceiro social, e incentivou a integração entre ensino/comunidade e cooperação entre colegas. 
Development of Islamic Psychology Interdisciplinary Approaches in the Era of Contemporary Science
Authors: Kusumo Aditya Aryo Nur , Kamil Sukron , Mudzhar M. Atho
Published: August 2024

The Muslim tradition of scientific thinking was one of the signs of Islam's golden age. However, this tradition was eventually overtaken by the Western tradition of scientific thinking. The Western tradition of thinking was based on positivistic philosophy and influenced the development of science. As a result, psychology was reduced to studying human behavior because it had to be rational and empirical. Secular psychology developed rapidly by dismissing non-epistemic values, and it was criticized. The criticism led to the Islamic movement and psychology as an anti-thesis that began to formulate Islamic psychology. This paper aims to formulate the development of Islamic psychology with an interdisciplinary approach as a recommendation for future studies. The research method uses qualitative methods with library research—data collection techniques through literature study with content analysis techniques. Psychology as a science must integrate with Islamic disciplines, namely ulumuddin and al fikr al Islamiyah. This integration with an interdisciplinary approach results in Islamic psychology included in dirasat Islamiyah. Dirasat Islamiyah integrates fundamental text authority and classical thought, also studied by scientific methods. In conclusion, the integration of psychology and Islam is not only limited to the empirical and rational but needs to look at things beyond that.

Purpose. Analyze the role and place of the scientific supervisor and scientific consultant in the training of scientific workers. Properly organized scientific supervision/consulting is one of the important factors contributing to the preparation of a quality dissertation research. The article presents an analysis of the appointment of scientific supervisors/consultants to candidates for the academic degree of candidate/doctor of science. Based on the materials of the Higher Attestation Commission, the authors conducted a substantive and statistical analysis of certification cases with two scientific supervisors/consultants for the period 2018–2023, and identified their unreasonable appointments. Methodology: dialectics, abstraction, analysis, synthesis, deduction, formal legal method, comparative law method. Conclusions. It is concluded that it is necessary to justify the appointment of two scientific supervisors/consultants by dissertation councils and to increase control over such cases by the Higher Attestation Commission Expert councils and the Higher Attestation Commission Presidium. Scientific and practical relevance. Justification for the appointment of two scientific supervisors/consultants will allow dissertation councils, Higher Attestation Commission Expert councils and the Higher Attestation Commission Presidium to focus on the problem of the appropriateness of their appointment. This approach will improve the quality of dissertations without harming interdisciplinary research conducted and supported by the state, reduce the number of people unreasonably claiming the title of professor, and increase the prestige of a researcher.

The article deals with the initiatives of the European Union to stimulate the tourism industry. The experience of the EU will be useful to all those who are interested in revitalizing tourism activities through an innovative approach to solving accumulated problems.
Criminal Conduct Within the Framework of Migration Processes
Authors:   Chief Research Scientist of the Department for Study of Criminal Procedure Issues of Research Center No. 5, Golubovsky Vladimir Yu.
Published: August 2024

Migration processes have a decisive role for the modern development of Russia, since migration has an extremely negative impact on the socioeconomic spheres of life and significantly aggravates the crime situation. In particular, the influx of illegal immigration stimulates the underground economy and limits the possibility of replenishing the state budget. The illegal component of migration processes has turned into a well-established criminal business with a developed structure, as well as the development of an “economic economy” with many participants and a large turnover of funds. The criminal activity of immigration crime has a significant impact on criminological security in the country and aggravates the criminogenic situation as a whole. Without eliminating the criminal impact, it is impossible to improve its demographic and socio-economic situation. In this regard, the study of the nature of offenses in the context of migration processes is timely and justified.

The Migration Process as a Factor of Implementation of the Financial Law Policy of the Republic of Tajikistan
Authors:   Associate Professor of the Department of Economic, Financial and Anti-Corruption Law of the Tajik State University, Khaitov Saidali P.
Published: August 2024

The relevance of the article under consideration is due to the fact that the migration process affects the political, social, financial and legal policy and security of the state. It notes that the migration process currently acts as an indicator that regulates the financial and legal policy of the state and the population of the Republic of Tajikistan. The emerging outflow of the young generation of the country, including educated and qualified personnel, indicates insufficiently high wages and living standards in the republic. Based on this, the author believes that due to the growing number of migrants from the countries of the exporter of labor resources, at the same time in the host country, new problems arise in terms of adaptation to life in big cities, mentality, legislation and labor law and order. The modern globalization of migration processes also transforms to more reasonable relations of rapprochement of peoples, legal interethnic relations, the study of history, culture, customs, traditions, customs and many other factors of national values from each other, creating friendly relations, where they unite them even more, develop friendship between peoples. All this is a sign that the host country has a positive attitude towards the migration flow. The task of the state, the exporting labor force and the country receiving labor resources is, first of all, independently, taking into account the circumstances and certain principles of public administration, to harmonize migration legislation in order to stabilize and develop it. Since public administration in this area is an independent area of activity of executive authorities, directly related to ensuring state security and socio-economic development of the country, the state faces the task of systematizing migration legislation. The author comes to the conclusion that, together with the multiplicity and sometimes inconsistency of legal acts in the field of migration, their application is significantly more difficult, which leads to inconsistency in the actions of law enforcement agencies that regulate these processes. In addition, there are barriers to providing social protection for migrants that lead to discrimination, such as labor, legal, language and cultural barriers, insufficient information about the rights of migrants to social protection and the mechanism for their implementation.
The Importance of Using Special Knowledge of Materials on Initiation of Social, Race, National or Religious Hatred or Antagonism (on the Example of Evaluation of the Gaming Content in the #PatriotCraft Project)
Authors:   Associate Professor of the Department of Criminal Law and Procedure of the Middle Volga, Potapova Lyudmila A.
Published: August 2024

The paper shows the importance of special knowledge for the correct qualification of acts related to the incitement of social, racial, national or religious hatred or enmity in the context of the general prevention of their degeneration into terrorism and genocide. It has been established that most often errors during the examination are associated with the expansion of the boundaries of the expert's competence, the procedure for organizing the examination and with the peculiarities of identification. The conclusion is substantiated that the identification and accounting of typical errors made during the examination of materials related to incitement to hatred or enmity will help to increase the evidentiary level of expert opinions while reducing the amount of time spent on its conduct. As a result of the conducted research, the need to develop a universal mechanism for evaluating game content in order to identify signs of extremism and terrorism has been identified.

Authors:   Professor of the Department of Criminalistics of the Academy of the Ministry of Internal Aff airs, Rubis Aleksandr S.
Published: August 2024

The paper is devoted to the study of the opportunity to apply the methodology of the general law theory in forensic expert activities. Based on an analysis of general theoretical structures, the author notes that an expert and an investigator are a subject of studying traces of the crime system. It is stated that facts established in the course of an expert study should be determined by goals of the instrumental, instrumental/goal setting and instrumental/cognitive nature of law with regards to the proving process. The author justifi es the need to develop forensic expert technologies that would not violate the procedural independence of each party to judicial proceedings.
NECROTIZING FACICIT AFTER HEMOROIDECTOMY
Authors: Yılmaz Arda Şakir , Ekici Yasin , Badak Bartu
Published: August 2024

Necrotizing fasciitis (NF); is a progressive soft tissue infection involving the lower extremities and perianal region, extending from the skin to the fascia. Although it is frequently seen in the elderly, it can be seen in all age groups with concomitant diseases, previous surgery history, and immune system disorders. NF, which develops as a result of rapid tissue invasion, can cause serious morbidity and mortality if early diagnosis and early surgical debridement are not performed. Therefore, NF should be suspected if pain, fever, and septic markers are disproportionate to the lesion in the clinic. The most important step in the treatment of NF is early surgical debridement and initiation of appropriate antibiotics. In addition to these treatments, various wound care treatments can also be applied. We tried to explain the process from diagnosis to discharge in a patient who developed NF after hemorrhoidectomy in terms of treatment management.
The effectiveness of Transcranial Doppler (TCD) in detection of vasospasm in patient with subarachnoid hemorrhage
Authors: Çıtışlı Veli , Dalbastı Osman Tayfun
Published: August 2024

Aim: Vasospasm in cerebral arteries is one of the important causes of mortality and morbidity in aneurysm surgery due to ischemia and remains a current problem in neurosurgery. Controversy regarding the clinical significance of cerebral vasospasm arises from the fact that there is no acceptable, objective measure for tracking the course of vasospasm. Transcranial Doppler (TCD) is used in clinics as a practical noninvasive method to understand vasospasm. However, the effectiveness of this method, which was developed as the first noninvasive method in the detection of vasospasm, has not yet been determined. The aim of this study is to monitor vasospasm after subarachnoid hemorrhage with TCD, to compare the data with the clinical evaluation of the patient, imaging methods and Digital Subtraction Angiography (DSA) results, and to reveal the clinical diagnostic power of the TCD method.
Material And Methods: For this purpose, Fisher grouping of 50 patients in our clinic, who were followed up with the diagnosis of subarachnoid, was performed. Median cerebral artery (MCA), anterior cerebral artery (ASA), posterior cerebral artery (PCA) and bacillary artery (BA) TCD were performed and analyzed according to four criteria. TCD was repeated in different situations. Vasospasm was confirmed by DSA and correlated.
Results: In blood flow measurements with TCD, the most prominent spasm was seen in Fisher 3, as theoretically expected. According to Fisher, vasospasm was 31% in fisher group 2 and 27% in fisher group 3. The most prominent vasospasm in patients was detected in MCA aneurysm bleeding. The artery with the highest agreement between DSA and clinical findings was found to be MCA (94.44%). The artery with the highest agreement between angiography and TCD flow rates was BA (88%). The artery with the highest concordance between TCD flow rates and clinical findings was found to be BA (89%). Considering the postoperative examinations; BA (85%) was the artery with the highest concordance with clinical and TCD flow rates. This artery is respectively; It was followed by MCA (84%), ACA (70%), PCA (P1 and P2) (57%).
Conclusion: Although there are many methods such as DSA in the detection of vasospasm in patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage, TCD has a special importance as a noninvasive method. Patients should be looked at at least once a day so that the examination can provide better guidance. For this reason, it is a fact that it will be beneficial for both the patient and the clinician to have TCD, which is a noninvasive examination, next to the patient in every intensive care unit or related clinic where patients undergoing treatment for vascular pathology are hospitalized.
Spolnost mladostnikov in spolne identitete
Authors: Simetinger Gabrijela
Published: August 2024

Spolnost je veliko več kot so spolni občutki ali spolni odnos. Je pomemben del identitete, kdo je oseba in kaj bo ona, on ali oni postali. Vključuje vsa občutja, misli in vedenja, ki jih predstavljata biti moški, ženska, transspolna ali druga oseba, biti privlačen in zaljubljen ter biti v odnosih, ki vključujejo spolno intimnost in fizično spolno aktivnost. Spolna vzgoja je celostna, kadar so upoštevani vsi vidiki spolnosti znotraj osebnih vrednot, to so področja spolnega zdravja in reprodukcije, čutnosti, intimnosti, spolne identitete in seksualizacije. Vsi vidiki so odvisni in vplivajo drug na drugega. Spolna identiteta je definirana na več načinov s pomembnim konceptualnim prekrivanjem med biološkim spolom, identiteto spola (družbeni spol), spolno vlogo in spolno usmerjenostjo. Kako se izrazi, je odvisno od namer in vrednot posameznika – kar naredi z zmožnostjo in željo, je v skladu z njegovimi prepričanji in vrednotami. Spolna vzgoja mora temeljiti na spoštovanju (spolnih in reproduktivnih) človekovih pravic ter enakosti spolov, samoodločanju in sprejemanju različnosti.

Published: August 2024

Psihoaktivne učinkovine so snovi, ki delujejo na možgane in povzročajo spremembe zaznavanja, razpoloženja, zavesti in vedenja. Številne psihoaktivne učinkovine so terapevtsko uporabne za zdravljenje vedenjskih motenj, druge imajo velik klinični potencial. V prispevku obravnavamo mehanizme delovanja in učinke psihoaktivnih učinkovin s poudarkom na učinkovinah, ki se pogosto zlorabljajo. Učinkovine smo zaradi priročnosti razvrstili v psihomotorične stimulanse, psihedelike, kanabinoide in depresorje. V prispevku smo sprva podrobneje predstavili mehanizme tolerance, fizične in psihološke odvisnosti. Pri mehanizmih odvisnosti smo raziskali pojav desenzitizacije in tolerance, ki vodita do fizične odvisnosti. Posebno pozornost smo namenili tudi mehanizmom psihološke odvisnosti. V nadaljevanju smo definirali farmakodinamiko psihomotoričnih stimulansov, kot sta kokain in MDMA, ki vplivata na razpoloženje ter zaznavanje. V razdelku o psihedelikih, kot sta LSD in psilocibin, obravnavamo njun vpliv na mišljenje, zaznavanje in razpoloženje. V poglavju o kanabinoidih je poudarek na farmakodinamiki THC in njegovih učinkih na centralni živčni sistem. Omenjeni so tudi sintetični kanabinoidi, ki so bolj škodljivi od rastlinskih analogov. Zadnji del prispevka obravnava depresorje, kot je etanol, in njegovo delovanje na centralni živčni sistem, pri čemer lahko povzroča močno fizično in psihološko odvisnost. Prispevek smo sklenili s pregledom farmakoloških pristopov k zdravljenju odvisnosti od psihoaktivnih učinkovin.

Effectiveness of Live Webinars to Teach Financial Literacy: A Case Study Among Public Employees
Authors: Wagner Jamie , Davidson Jennifer
Published: August 2024

In the wake of economic downturns, a global pandemic, and changes to work-based benefits, the need for financial education is evident as adults continue to show low levels of financial literacy. To address these issues, a financial wellness program for working adults consisting of six 1-hour webinars taught by area experts and business professionals was created among public employees in Nebraska, the United States. The sample for this case study program analysis includes 424 participants who participated in all six live webinars and completed both a pre- and postassessment of financial knowledge, behavior, and attitudinal questions. An estimatedttest showed an 11-percentage point increase from pre- to postassessment on the knowledge questions. Additionally, participants reported positive changes in attitude regarding their finances. Regression results showed that individuals with the lowest income benefited the most, answering 1.8117–2.1176 more questions correctly, suggesting that the webinars were especially beneficial for people who might be struggling the most financially. The positive findings from this study show that impactful financial education can be delivered online via a live webinar format. This is useful for providers who develop and plan financial literacy programs for adults.
Disaster Preparedness: Beliefs of Physical Education Teacher Education Majors
Authors: Dinç Zeynep , Saraç Leyla
Published: August 2024

This study examined the differences in disaster preparedness beliefs among physical education teacher candidates based on gender and grade level. A total of one hundred and forty-nine physical education teacher candidates, 61 male and 88 female took part in the study. The General Disaster Preparedness Belief Scale, which encompasses six sub-dimensions (Self-efficacy, Cues to Action, Perceived Susceptibility, Perceived Barriers, Perceived Benefits, and Perceived Severity) was used to collect data. An independent samples t-test was used to analyze normally distributed data to determine whether physical education teacher candidates’ beliefs on general disaster preparedness sub-dimensions differed by gender, and a one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to determine whether they differed by grade level (1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th). The results indicated significant variations between genders in almost all aspects of general disaster preparedness beliefs, with female physical education teacher candidates scoring higher in Self-efficacy, Cues to Action, Perceived Susceptibility, Perceived Barriers, Perceived Severity, and general disaster preparedness. However, Perceived Benefits scores were similar across genders. No notable differences were found in the general disaster preparedness beliefs and sub-dimension scores of physical education teacher candidates based on the grade level of the candidates. The findings indicate that, except for Perceived Benefits, physical education teacher candidates' general disaster preparedness beliefs and beliefs regarding sub-dimensions differed by gender but not by grade level studied, which may indicate that gender is related to disaster preparedness beliefs. The study underscores the importance of addressing gender disparities in disaster preparedness beliefs to ensure equitable societal preparedness efforts. Efforts should focus on enhancing disaster preparedness beliefs among all individuals, irrespective of gender, to foster a more resilient and prepared community.

Authors: Xiao Jingyu , Alibakhshi Goudarz , Zamanpour Alireza , Zarei Mohamad Amin , Sherafat Shapour , Behzadpoor Seyyed-Fouad
Published: August 2024

Artificial intelligence (AI) has contributed to various facets of human lives for decades. Teachers and students must have competency in AI and AI-empowered applications, particularly when using online electronic platforms such as learning management systems (LMS). This study investigates the structural relationship between AI literacy, academic well-being, and educational attainment of Iranian undergraduate students. Using a convenience sampling approach, we selected 400 undergraduate students from virtual universities equipped with LMS platforms and facilities. We collected data using three instruments—an AI literacy scale, an academic well-being scale, and educational attainment scale—and analyzed the data using Smart-PLS3 software. Results showed that the hypothetical model had acceptable psychometrics (divergent and convergent validity, internal consistency, and composite reliability). Results also showed that the general model had goodness of fit. The study thus confirms the direct effect of AI on academic well-being and educational attainment. By measuring variables of academic well-being, we also show that AI literacy in China and Iran significantly affects educational attainment. These findings have implications for students, teachers, and educational administrators of universities and higher education institutes, providing knowledge about the educational uses of AI applications.

Published: August 2024

In the context of the permanent transformation of the higher education system, it is not only game practices that are in demand, but also the widest possible gamification of the educational process itself in higher education. The article discusses the option of organizing the game VIRTUOZ (Variable Game Solution of Difficult Educational Problems) at an open day with applicants and their parents. The VIRTUOZ game is held in order to form an objective opinion among its participants about where to go to study on the basis of a comprehensive comparison of information from open sources on competing departments that are currently training students in a particular field in the corresponding region (regions). Variants of tasks/competitions for team members are given, allowing to compare departments by the share of employed graduates and their average salary; on the structure of academic titles of teachers; indicators of scientific activity; tuition fees. Variants of creative contests for viewers are given. In the future, it is possible to hold other competitions and introduce weights for certain aspects of the department's activities, based on their importance for applicants and their parents, either setting them in advance, or offering to do this directly to team members. Competent gamification of the educational process in Russian higher education, starting with the admission of applicants and ending with the employment of graduates, is designed to help in the development of domestic higher education today and in the long term.

Darling, I Am Here for You!
Authors: Frangieh Jihane
Published: August 2024

“Darling, I Am Here for You!” is a heartfelt poem that beautifully captures a touching moment in the life of a neonatal nurse battling exhaustion and despair in the early hours of the morning. This poem highlights the emotional toll of the nursing profession. As the poem begins, we find the nurse in the quiet hours of dawn, before finishing her night shift. Her tears are a reflection of the pain she has witnessed throughout the night and maybe a pain accumulated through months of hard work. The compassionate, caring presence of an elderly nurse, who shares her own experiences and wisdom, provides a ray of hope. Through simple yet powerful practices of self-care, such as taking a deep breath and expressing gratitude, the nurse learns to embrace her exhaustion and pain. The poem resonates with the universal message that, amidst caring for others, it is essential to extend the same compassion and care to oneself. This poem reminds us all of the transformative power of self-care and self-compassion, especially in the most challenging of circumstances.

Dynamical Systems of an Infinite-Dimensional Nonlinear Operator on the Banach Space $l_{1}$
Authors:   V. I. Romanovskiy Institute of Mathematics, Olimov U. R. ,   Karshi State University, Rozikov U. A.
Published: August 2024

We investigate discrete-time dynamical systems generated by an infinite-dimensional nonlinear operator that maps the Banach space $l_{1}$ to itself. It is demonstrated that this operator possesses up to seven fixed points. By leveraging the specific form of our operator, we illustrate that analyzing the operator can be simplified to a two-dimensional approach. Subsequently, we provide a detailed description of all fixed points, invariant sets for the two-dimensional operator and determine the set of limit points for its trajectories. These results are then applied to find the set of limit points for trajectories generated by the infinite-dimensional operator.
Design Of A Decision Support System For The Graduation Of New Student Candidates Based On MVC
Authors: Safitri Fivy Nur , Kristiyanto Daniel Yeri
Published: August 2024

The selection process for new students in the field of education is crucial and warrants careful consideration. IT Telkom Purwokerto has a dedicated division, the Admission Unit, responsible for the selection of new students. However, this process often encounters errors, such as miscalculations in the average scores of three subjects, discrepancies between new student data and graduation guideline data, and prolonged simulation processes for graduation. This study proposes a solution to these issues through the implementation of an MVC-based Decision Support System (DSS) for determining the eligibility of new student admissions. The Prototype methodology was chosen to develop an MVC-based system as a resolution to these issues. The criteria used in this research to determine new student admissions involve various factors, including the chosen high school major, interest in the offered majors, average mathematics scores, and the average scores of three main subjects: mathematics, Bahasa Indonesia, and English. The outcomes of this research include the development of an MVC-based decision support system that aims to determine the admission status of new students. It is anticipated that the implementation of this decision support system based MVC will not only aid relevant personnel in the admission decision process but also mitigate potential issues that may arise. The research contributes to the enhancement of the efficiency and accuracy of the new student selection process at IT Telkom Purwokerto.

Authors: Ningsih Rahma Dwi , Sarwido Sarwido , Nyipto Wibowo Gentur Wahyu
Published: August 2024

An investment is the placement of a current amount of funds in the hope of generating a profit in the future. There are several types of investments, including stocks, which are attractive options as they can bring a huge return to investors. However, rapidly fluctuating stock prices are influenced by various factors, such as company performance, interest rates, economic conditions, and government policies. In Indonesia, PT Bank Rakyat Indonesia Tbk (BBRI) had the largest profit among the 10 largest banks by the end of March 2024, with a profit of IDR 13.8 trillion. The higher the bank's return, the greater the investor's interest in purchasing the stock, influencing the stock price. The goal of stock price prediction is to forecast the stock's future price in order to increase investors' potential profits. Various methods, such as Linear Regression, Decision Tree, and Gradient Boosting, have been developed for stock price prediction. Comparative analysis is needed to determine the most accurate method in predicting the stock price of People's Bank of Indonesia, using Mean Absolute Error (MAE), Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE), Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE), and R-squared metrics (R2). The analysis showed that Linear Regression achieved the highest accuracy with R2 of 0.96, MAE of 65.72 and RMSE of 86.74 compared to the Decision Tree and Gradient Boosting models.

This article reviews the history of J. von Neumann’s analysis of hidden variables in quantum mechanics and the subsequent analysis by others. In his book The Mathematical Foundations of Quantum Mechanics, published in 1932, von Neumann performed an analysis of the consequences of introducing hidden parameters (hidden variables) into quantum mechanics. He arrived at two principal conclusions: first, hidden variables cannot be incorporated into the existing theory of quantum mechanics without major modifications, and second, if they did exist, the theory would have already failed in situations where it has been successfully applied. This analysis has been taken as an “incorrect proof” against the existence of hidden variables, possibly due to a mistranslation of the German word prufen. von Neumann’s so-called proof isn’t even wrong as such a proof does not exist, but it is an examination of the limitations imposed by internal consistency of the Hilbert space formulation of the theory. One of the earliest attempts to eliminate uncertainty, by D. Bohm, requires a major modification of quantum mechanics (observables are not represented by Hermitian operators), which supports von Neumann’s first principal conclusion. However, testing the Bohm theory requires constructing a physically impossible initial state. As such, the theory has no experimental consequences, so W. Pauli referred to it as an “uncashable check”. As there are no observable consequences, the Bohm theory is possibly a counterexample to von Neumann’s second conclusion that hidden variables in particular would have already led to a failure of the theory.
Targeting Clonal Mutations with Synthetic Microbes
Authors: Renteln Michael
Published: August 2024

Recently concluded, large-scale cancer genomics studies involving multiregion sequencing of primary tumors and paired metastases appear to indicate that many or most cancer patients have one or more “clonal" mutations in their tumors. Clonal mutations are those that are present in all of a patient’s cancer cells. Clonally mutated proteins can potentially be targeted by inhibitors or E3 ligase small molecule glues, but developing new small molecule drugs for each patient is not feasible currently. Achilles Therapeutics is currently the only company specifically targeting clonal mutations on a patient-by-patient basis. However, they are doing so with tumor-derived T cells. To address the potential limitations of immunotherapy, I have devised another approach for exploiting clonal mutations, which I call “Oncolytic Vector Efficient Replication Contingent on Omnipresent Mutation Engagement” (OVERCOME). The ideal version of OVERCOME would likely employ a bioengineered facultative intracellular bacterium. The bacterium would initially be attenuated, but (transiently) reverse its attenuation upon clonal mutation detection.
The Ideal Model on the Cosmic Continuum: A Unified Mechanism on Cosmic and Material Structure
Authors: Wang Xijia
Published: August 2024

The fundamental divergence in foundation of modern physics lies in the incompatibility between quantum theory and relativity. This study created a relative continuum, found a mathematical tool for the cosmic continuum; proposed dark particle hypothesis, filled gap on minimum existence quantity particle; discovered new equivalence principle, bridged differences in foundation of physics; and established an ideal model, revealed deep essence of cosmic and material structure. In this model, any cosmic system is a continuum composed of existence continuum relative to the wavelength of bosons energy waves and its dimension continuum. This model provides new perspectives on the fundamental problems of physics and cosmology. Firstly, it elucidated the physical mechanism of bosons in fundamental interactions. Secondly, it reconstructed the understanding of the basic unit of the cosmic and material structure. Thirdly, it updated the inherent concepts about the existence form and existence dimension. Fourthly, it restored the causality truth of wave function collapse in quantum mechanics.

Forty percent of patients with acute coronary occlusion myocardial infarction (OMI) do not present with STEMI criteria, which delays their treatment and increases morbidity and mor-tality. The need to identify these patients promptly is crucial, and this sets the stage for the pro-posed reclassification. Many of these patients can be identified by other ECG and clinical fea-tures. Background/Objectives: We sought to evaluate STEMI/NSTEMI cases that result in OMI and the consequences of delayed revascularization immediately among NSTEMI patients who have ACO (NSTEMI-OMI). Methods: The study is a retrospective analysis conducted on 334 pa-tients who underwent coronary angiography for acute coronary syndrome at UHC ‘‘Mother Te-resa,’’ Tirana, Albania, during January-May 2023. OMI was defined as an acute culprit lesion with TIMI 0-2 flow, or TIMI 3 flow with highly elevated troponin (cTnI>10.0 ng/mL, hs-cTnI>5000 ng/L). Ejection fraction (EF), total ischemia time, hospital day stay and complications were com-pared between groups. Results: There were 334 patients included of whom NSTEMI-OMI were 98 patients (29.3%) of patients with ACS. 96 patients (40%) of OMI patients did not fulfill the STEMI criteria. Only 11 patients (11%) of STEMI(-)OMI had PCI performed within the first 12 hours vs 76 patients (77%) of STEMI(+)OMI, p<0.001. There was no difference in the percent of patients requiring PCI between the STEMI(+)OMI 98 patients (93%) and STEMI(-)OMI 87 patients (89%) (p<0.001). The overall in-hospital mortality was 19 patients (5.7 %), with subgroup mortality of 14 patients (4.2%) STEMI(+)OMI, two patients (0.6%) STEMI(+) NOMI, three patients (0.9%) STEMI(-)OMI, 0% STEMI(-)NOMI, (p=0.013). Patients with mechanical complications were: 67 patients (46.8%) STEMI(+)OMI and 45 patients (46.4%) STEMI(-)OMI. 26 patients (18.5%) STEMI(+)OMI and 13 patients (13.1%) STEMI(-)OMI developed electrical complications. Conclusions STEMI(-)OMI patients had significant delays in catheterization, yet had angiographic findings, rate of PCI, and complications similar to STEMI(+)OMI. These data add further support to refocusing the paradigm of acute MI to improve recognition and rapid reperfusion of all OMIs, rather than only those with STEMI criteria.
The Collatz Conjecture “The Nonexistence of Divergent Orbits, through a Dynamic Diophantine Linear Analysis of Codification”
Authors: Fuentes Giovanny
Published: August 2024

We define the function $Col: \mathbb{N} \to \mathbb{N}$ as the Collatz function, given by $3n + 1$ if $n$ is odd and $\displaystyle\frac{n}{2}$ if $n$ is even \cite{Lagarias1990}. The conjecture postulates that for any positive integer, at some point, its iteration will reach 1, or equivalently, every orbit will fall into the periodic cycle $\{4, 2, 1\}$. Two conditions would invalidate the conjecture: the existence of a divergent orbit or the presence of another cycle. In 2019 Terence Tao \cite{tao} proved that almost all orbits converge to the trivial cycle of $\{1,4,2\}$, in this work we will prove the non-existence of divergent orbits. The central idea is to decompose the dynamic system $Col$ into a binary dynamic system, generated by different compositions of two functions. This differs from a typical dynamic system, which is generated by the iteration of a single function. We consider the system generated by the functions $\theta, \psi: \mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R}$, defined as $\displaystyle\theta(x) = \frac{x}{2}$ and $\displaystyle\psi(x) = \frac{3x + 1}{2}$, denoted as $\langle \theta, \psi \rangle$. We examine sequences of functions in $\langle \theta, \psi \rangle$ of the form $S_k(x) = s_k \circ S_{k-1}(x)$ with $s_k \in \{\theta, \psi\}$. We define a function that assigns to each element of these sequences an integer, called the minimum value positive integer or simply the minimum value. This corresponds to the smallest positive integer $n$ such that $S_k(n)$ is an integer. As we will prove later, the minimum value is monotonically increasing, meaning that increasing the terms of the sequence will never result in a value lower than the previous one. Based on this behavior, we distinguish two types of sequences: stable ones, where the minimum value is constant from a certain point, and unstable ones, where the minimum value is divergent. The main result for unstable sequences is that when the slope of the sequence is divergent, the sequence is unstable. From this result, we can prove that there are no divergent orbits for the function $Col$.
Improvement of Salt Leaching and Water Content in Soil Irrigated with Electromagnetically Treated Saline Water

While the beneficial effects of using magnetic and electromagnetic treatment (ET) of brackish and saline waters on soil salinity reduction in the root zone were widely reported more studies are needed to answer questions about the soil salt leaching efficiency and the effect of the duration of the exposure to ET. For this aim, pot experiments were conducted using an Aqua-4DR physical water treatment device. The first experiment included two trials. The first considered 5 concentrations: C0:1.0; C1:4.5; C2:9; C3:13.5; and C4:18 dSm-1. The results revealed that the volume and the salt concentrations of the drained waters were significantly higher under irrigation with ET saline waters than those provided by untreated waters. The drained fraction of water varied from 20 to 26% under irrigation with untreated water and increased from 33 to 56% under irrigation with electromagnetized water indicating an improvement of salt leaching. The second trial was carried out with different irrigation doses. The result showed that the higher the dose, the more obvious and significant ET effect. The different treatment durations of water exposure revealed that the volume and salinity of drained water significantly increase as the ET duration increases. An increase in ET duration induces also an increase in soil water content of around 2.5%. Based on the experimental findings, we may conclude that the ET of saline water can reduce the adverse effect of salinity on the top soil, but these leached salts are carried away in depth and there is no concentration limit of water to the effect of the ET.
