Postprandial hypoinsulinemic hypoglycemia as a clue to hidden purging behavior in an adolescent boy with disordered eating
Authors: Boddu Sirisha Kusuma , Koyalakonda Chandra Shekhar , Murthy Nithya Narasimha
Published: April 2024

Postprandial hypoglycemia, hypoglycemia occurring within four hours of intake of meals, is an extremely uncommon condition in children. We report the case of an adolescent boy who presented with excessive hunger, poor weight gain, anasarca, hypoalbuminemia, and electrolyte imbalance. Investigating the history of post-meal drowsiness showed postprandial hypoglycemia, which on subsequent evaluation revealed elevated fasting insulin and suppressed postprandial insulin levels. This eventually led to the uncovering of a deliberately and cleverly concealed purging behavior. A meticulous interview of the family and the child confirmed the diagnosis of anorexia nervosa, binge-purging type, and averted unnecessary further investigations into the cause of failure to thrive.

Published: April 2024

Background:

This study strives to provide a current and thorough assessment of the comparative efficacy and safety between equiosmolar quantities of hypertonic saline (HS) and mannitol in facilitating brain relaxation for patients undergoing elective craniotomies.

Methods:

This systematic review and meta-analysis, following preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses guidelines, compared the efficacy and safety of equiosmolar concentrations of mannitol and HS in elective craniotomies. PubMed, Scopus, Cochrane Library, ScienceDirect, and Proquest databases were searched using keywords related to mannitol, HS, and craniotomy. Results were analyzed through a random-effects model using Mantel–Haenszel risk ratio and standard mean difference. P < 0.05 was considered significant.

Results:

Thirteen randomized controlled trials encompassing 965 patients (516 in the HS group and 448 in the mannitol group) were analyzed. The quality of studies was moderate-to-high, and no significant publication bias was observed. The primary outcome, brain relaxation, favored HS over mannitol without significant heterogeneity. Mannitol was associated with increased urine output compared to HS, irrespective of dose, with high heterogeneity. HS was linked to significantly reduced fluid input, confirmed by subgroup analysis with lower heterogeneity. No significant difference was found in serum osmolality between the two agents. Serum sodium (Na+) levels favored HS, whereas arterial blood Na+ levels also favored HS despite considerable heterogeneity. Maximum mean arterial pressure was higher with HS, but it displayed significant heterogeneity. Maximum central venous pressure showed no significant difference between the two agents, with moderate heterogeneity.

Conclusion:

HS appears more effective than mannitol in achieving brain relaxation, and it may offer advantages in fluid management and Na+ balance. Clinicians should consider these findings when selecting hyperosmotic agents for neurosurgical procedures. Further research is needed to address heterogeneity in certain outcomes and guide clinical practice.

Published: April 2024

Spirocyclobutyl oxindoles have garnered substantial attention in drug discovery and pharmaceuticals owing to their wide range of biological activities. Strain-release in small-ring compounds is a powerful strategy to enable efficient access to complex molecules. In this study, we have successfully realized a photoredox-catalyzed strain-release radical spirocyclization approach to attain functionalized spirocyclobutyl oxindoles. A diverse array of radicals, such as sulfonyl, phosphonyl, and trifluoromethyl, were added efficiently to the strained C-C bond of bicyclobutanes (BCBs) to afford a library of spirocyclobutyl oxindoles. Furthermore, the obtained products could be transformed into valuable building blocks. The observed reactivity and selectivity have been rationalized based on density functional theory calculations.

Published: April 2024

The excellent performance of ZnxCryOz catalysts, used in the process of converting CO/H2 to methanol and light olefins, is highly attractive, but the microstructure of ZnxCryOz structure under the syngas conversion conditions remains elusive experimentally and theoretically because of the limitation of the detecting facilities/methods. By using the genetic-algorithm-based global structural search accelerated by machine learning in combination with a local cluster sampling strategy in the active learning scheme, we reveal the structure/composition evolution of ZnxCryOz structures and uncover that the catalytic activities of these catalysts strongly depend on the Zn/Cr ratios under the syngas conversion conditions. The possible active phase at the thermodynamically stable condition is identified and the critical active site influencing the catalytic property is unraveled. We show that the catalyst Zn2Cr2O5, which consists of a thin ZnO layer and the ZnCr2O4 structures, achieves a high catalytic activity for syngas conversion and its X-ray diffraction patterns are in agreement with the experimental result. Importantly, the presence of a hexahedral configuration ([ZnCrO2]hex) is found to affect the catalyst activity significantly, and this result is further supported by the analysis based on the structure-activity relationship.

Published: April 2024

ZnO is a semiconductor with a wide range of applications and often the properties are modified by metal-ion doping. The distribution of dopant atoms within the ZnO crystal strongly affects the optical and magnetic properties making it crucial to describe the structure down to the atomic level. This study reveals the dopant structure and contents in Eu-doped ZnO nano-phase sponges with up to 20% EuO1.5. High-resolution STEM imaging, EELS and electron pair-distribution function (ePDF) provided atomic distances. The Eu was distributed over the ZnO:Eu crystals, but in addition, an amorphous inter-crystalline phase was observed, especially in the 20% Eu sample. The ePDF analysis revealed the presence of non-periodic Eu(III)-oxide clusters and that there were significant changes in Eu coordination between the samples, which is ascribed as due to the inter-crystalline phase. The proposed method offers a potential characterization routine for a detailed investigation of complex doped materials.

Published: April 2024

This study introduces "Woolitmus" a textile-based wearable sweat pH indicator developed using pyranine, also known as HPTS (8-Hydroxypyrene-1,3,6-trisulfonic acid) and naturally occurring wool as substrate. Sweat pH analysis is crucial for monitoring health conditions associated with pH imbalance. The sensor exhibits pH responsiveness under both visible and UV light, offering potential as a real-time sweat patch for pH monitoring. The interaction of pyranine with wool substrate is detailed, elucidating the mechanism behind the pH sensitivity backed up by photophysical characterizations. Stability and reversibility tests also confirm the sensor's robustness and performance. The reported sensor also can simultaneously collect and detect pH levels without support of any additional accessories like electrodes, display, etc. It also offers sensitivity, real-time response, and non-invasive detection. But more importantly it stands out for its biodegradability, reusability, zero e-waste, and biocompatibility of the substrate. The wool fabric-based pH sensor holds promising applications, including health monitoring and lifestyle management.

Published: April 2024

Student engagement refers to how actively involved and enthusiastic a student is about their learning process. Engaged students are actively involved in their education, show a willingness to learn, and are motivated to achieve their academic goals. Student engagement is important for learning activities and can be achieved via gamification. In this work, a gamification approach was designed that incorporates game elements such as tournament, teams, multidisciplinary challenges, grading, backward grading, badges, points, and leaderboard. Especially the new game element backward grading is designed to achieve student engagement. The game element grading promotes competitions among student teams. On the other hand, the novel game element backward grading promotes contributions to competitions. The designed gamification setting is applied to an emerging technologies course, and the results show that student engagement is achieved.

Trafficking on Trial: The Judge, the Pimp and the Victim
Authors: Darley Mathilde
Published: April 2024

Based on an ethnography of French trials for trafficking in human beings and aggravated procuring, this article seeks to contribute to the analysis of the reframing, in penal terms, of the struggles engaged in the name of social justice and women’s rights, of which anti-trafficking policies are particularly emblematic. Studying the judging practices and logics at stake during trials reveals how fantasized representations of the pimp and the victim take on substance. In particular, I argue that judges invoke a set of gendered, sexualized and racialized extra-legal norms, which, along with their legal foundations, constitute their knowledge base and impose a moral and penal hierarchy among litigants. Therefore, not only does this analysis contribute to defining the contours of the elusive figures of the pimp and the victim in the penal arena, it also exposes how maintaining public order is based on the perpetuation of a gendered and sexual national order in the name of gender justice.
Temporalization and the Digital Vigilante: Past Presencing, Un/Doing Futures and “Jewish Revenge” as Affective Justice in Talia Lavin’s Culture Warlords
Authors: Sekuler Todd
Published: April 2024

This paper examines the figure of the hate-fighting digital vigilante as embodied through Aryan Queen, an online persona developed and depicted by self-proclaimed antifa member Talia Lavin in her book Culture Warlords. One chapter in the 2020 memoir relays Lavin’s pursuits to elicit and make known identifying information of Der Stürmer, an anonymous white supremacist online hater. I first locate Lavin’s undertaking in the porous policy landscape regulating online hate transnationally to make a case for its value as an entry into the navigation of hate on Telegram, a platform that has become a popular enclave for hate, and one that remains otherwise impenetrable to state efforts at formal governance. I then introduce the digital vigilante as a cultural figure that has become increasingly distinguished from, but developed in relation to, the classical or analogue vigilante in academic literature, albeit with only limited attention paid to the seemingly boundless temporality that constitutes the virtual sphere. Attending to processes of temporalization, I argue, can well serve an analysis of the moral universe within which the digital vigilante operates, thereby enabling a critical engagement with the motivations, methods, and intentions of her justice pursuits online. With the support of anthropological theories of temporalization – namely, past presencing, un/doing futures, and affective justice – I show that justice pursuits by way of digital vigilantism for Lavin are entangled with an affective longing for revenge, and manifest a complex intermingling of open wounds from injustices that emerge from and produce entanglements of the past, present, and future.

Urbanization impacts water resources, with impervious surfaces indicating the degree of disturbance. Effective impervious area (EIA) is a better measure than total impervious area (TIA) for urban runoff. EIA is the portion of TIA connected to the storm sewer system. Remote sensing data alone is insufficient for EIA determination. An alternative approach integrates remote sensing data with drainage networks to ensure connectivity of impervious surfaces. This approach uses GIS data including multi-sensor data. The modified literature algorithm was used in python to analyze the study area. It is observed that for western Indian urban catchment area, some empirical equation such as Sutherland’s and Alley-Veenhuis showed under-estimation and over-estimation at some watershed parts which were obtained using DEM delineation. Based on the results obtained from proposed method, a quadratic relationship was established between easily measured TIA and hydraulically relevant EIA for an urban catchment in western India. These outcomes should result in more effective and properly designed SCMs, with potential improvements in water quality and cost savings.

Precise meter readings are essential for effectively regulating residential energy systems in India's smart city context. However, due to the high number of users and the absence of daily consumption monitoring, standard meter reading methods are expensive and time-consuming, which causes consumer unhappiness. The suggested approach to address this issue is to put in place an integrated wireless smart energy system that makes use of smart metering technologies. The way utilities manage energy could be completely changed by this method. The integrated system is intended to take the place of the traditional digital energy meters, which are primarily used to record meter readings properly for payment purposes. This allows for automatic meter readings without the need for frequent travels to the location where the meters are located. Low Power Wide Area Networks (LPWAN) technology, which is renowned for its low power consumption, cost-effectiveness, long-range coverage, and efficient penetration, are used in this technology to enable the transfer of accurate and secure data on energy usage in real-time. The experiments that resulted from the trials allowed the energy to successfully communicate and documented reliable readings. By providing users with real-time usage data and guarding against overloaded scenarios, the system also benefits consumers. Additionally, the device reports electricity theft to the utility company. The shortcomings of the conventional systems and design difficulties are addressed by the suggested system.
General provisions of criminal and legal counteraction to the financing of terrorism
Authors: Lysak S.
Published: April 2024

Terrorism as the most dangerous social phenomenon covers a significant range of spheres of public life and is a priority issue on the agenda of the international political space, and therefore an important component of public administration. The effectiveness of countering terrorism determines the place of the state in the international arena, the trust in it on the part of international partners, international investors and internal stakeholders themselves. A distinctive feature of terrorism as a process and type of illegal activity is the need for significant financial resources for the existence of terrorist organizations and the implementation of terrorist acts. Countering the financing of terrorism as a source of its resource support ‑ is the basis for protecting the national interests and security of not only an individual state, but also society globally. Taking into account the threat to national security, the issue of the theory, organization and methodology of criminal law counteraction to the financing of terrorism is significantly updated in war conditions. Due to the lack of comprehensive studies of this issue, there is a need to substantiate the theoretical, methodological and organizational provisions of public administration in the study area.

Аdvertisement of European multiculturalism and its impact on interfaith relations in Ukraine
Authors: Kobetiak A.
Published: April 2024

The article proposes a study of state-church and inter-religious relations in Ukraine during the period of independence in the context of political processes in modern Europe. The modern vectors of state policy in the sphere of religion and freedom of conscience are revealed. The insult in interfaith relations is largely caused by the ill-conceived and inconsistent policy of the government in this area. It has been established that the current political situation in Ukraine indicates a deep crisis in relations in many spheres of social life. Russia's open aggression caused a new wave of aggravation of national self-identification and the church vector in Ukraine. The purpose of the article is to highlight the problem of the political and spiritual influence of Europe on modern Orthodoxy in Ukraine, which is in a state of division into different jurisdictions. It has been proven that the unification of the divided branches of Ukrainian Orthodoxy will contribute to the consolidation of Ukrainian society, especially in conditions of open war. The formation of the United Church should take place on the basis of a constructive dialogue between the authorities, denominations and society.

The research shows that the branches of the divided Ukrainian Orthodoxy are under the active political influence of the geopolitical confrontation of the European scale. Advertising and promotion of multiculturalism and polytheism, which are characteristic of the countries of Western Europe, require corresponding freedom of religion and the presence of a multi-religious component in Ukraine, which openly demonstrates the chosen vector of European integration.

On the other hand, it was established that the status of the United Independent Church affects issues of national security, international recognition, geopolitical influence, consolidation of Ukrainian society, unification of self-identification of Ukrainian citizens and is an important conflict-causing factor. Therefore, the issue of establishing the United Independent Ukrainian Church remains topical today.

Published: April 2024

In the context of continuous urbanization and the formation of urban development strategies, It is necessary to carefully consider the possible impact of this process on social integration. It is known that some cities have successfully used urbanization as a tool for increasing social inclusion, which, in turn, has made them leaders in the field of quality of life. There are several examples of successful urbanization that has led to social integration, and these cities have become leaders in quality of life and comfortable living conditions. Cities such as Vienna (Austria), Melbourne (Australia), Copenhagen (Denmark) and others have developed programs that take into account the needs of all segments of the population when planning the future growth and development of their cities. One of the key aspects that these successful cities prioritize is access to basic services such as education, health, culture, and other social amenities. By ensuring equal access for all members of society, they create a more inclusive environment where everyone has the opportunity to thrive. In addition, these cities often implement policies aimed at reducing inequality by addressing issues such as affordable housing or public transportation.
While urbanization involves many challenges, including environmental issues or infrastructure burden, it is clear that prioritizing inclusion in urban development leads to better outcomes for all participants. The success stories of leading cities around the world should serve as inspiration for policy makers seeking to build more inclusive communities in their jurisdictions.
From a public administration perspective, moving to an inclusive city model is essential for shaping a better future and involves developing policies that promote accessibility, equality, and participation for all residents of the country.

Published: April 2024

This study aims to identify the factors influencing the employment of disabled civil servants within local government settings, with the goal of promoting the inclusion of disabled individuals, a socially vulnerable group, and to emphasize the government’s role as an exemplary employer. The research analyses the employment status of disabled civil servants from 2019 to 2021 across 226 basic local governments nationwide. It investigates various factors impacting the employment rate of disabled civil servants in these local governments, as well as their compliance with mandatory employment regulations for disabled civil servants. The independent variables include legal and institutional factors, normative factors, political factors, and social and economic factors. As a result of the analysis, it was found that the enactment of the Ordinance on Convenience Support for disabled civil servants, which is a legal and institutional factor, and the size of registered disabled people, which is a social factor, had a positive effect on both the employment rate of disabled civil servants and compliance with mandatory employment of disabled civil servants. The implementation of the employment surcharge system was found to have a negative impact on the employment rate of disabled civil servants. On the other hand, the organization of policy consumers, which is a social factor, the political inclination of the head of the organization, which is a political factor, and the budget to support vulnerable groups, which is an economic factor, were found to have no significant effect on the employment rate of disabled civil servants and compliance with mandatory employment of disabled civil servants.

Published: April 2024

It is shown that Cluster Analysis (CA) can be used in the process of researching the Digital Traces (DT) of students of an educational institution, as well as other educational institutions that introduce a Digital Educational Environment (DEE) into the educational process. Cluster analysis can reveal behavioral patterns of education seekers. Also, the use of CA methods will improve the personalization of training and increase the effectiveness of educational programs. It is shown that in the context of ensuring Information Security (IS) of the DEE of educational institutions, technologies and methods of DT analysis can also be useful, for example, for: monitoring students’ network activity; analysis of student authorization and authentication logs; detection of malicious programs and attacks on the DEE; analysis of IS threats to the DEE as a whole; vulnerability prediction. It is shown that the application of CA methods can be useful in studying the degree of information security of the DEE of universities and other educational institutions. It has been established that CA methods can help identify groups of students with similar patterns of activity from the point of view of IS, both the DEE of the educational institution as a whole, and its computer networks and systems. It has been established that with the help of CA DT, it is possible to detect anomalous behavior of students, to detect unusual patterns of activity, facts of unauthorized use of resources or other deviations from the typical behavior of students in the network of the educational institution.

Authors: Kovalenko Anton
Published: April 2024

The rapid pace of industrial growth and the rise in consumerism are increasingly contributing to the deterioration of water quality, posing significant risks to both ecological systems and human health. The urgent need for effective monitoring of water resources to mitigate pollution and ensure the sustainability of these vital ecosystems has never been more apparent. The integration of Internet of Things (IoT) technologies into surface water monitoring presents a transformative approach to addressing these challenges. By automating the collection and transmission of data on water quality, IoT technologies offer a leap forward in our ability to efficiently monitor and manage environmental health. This article explores the application of various data transmission protocols, including Wi-Fi, Zigbee, LoRa, NB-IoT, and BLE, in the context of IoT-enabled water resource monitoring systems. Considerable attention was paid to determining the physical conditions of operation and the limitations they impose on the functioning of water monitoring systems. Each protocol is examined for its potential advantages and limitations in terms of energy efficiency, transmission range, and reliability under the specific conditions encountered in surface water monitoring. Through a comparative analysis, this study not only highlights the distinctive features and suitability of each protocol but also proposes a comprehensive framework for selecting the most appropriate technology based on the specific requirements of water monitoring projects. The findings of this research underscore the critical role of IoT technologies in advancing environmental monitoring and offer valuable insights for the development of more effective and sustainable water quality management strategies.

Data was obtained from documents on the implementation of Indonesian language education and training. The research analysis covers the appointment of Indonesian workers as accompanying workers, the implementation of education and training for Indonesian workers in accordance with the qualifications of the positions occupied by foreign workers, and Indonesian language education and training facilities for foreign workers. The results of questionnaires and interviews with management were also analyzed. The results show that at the beginning of its operation in 1998, the management appointed Indonesian workers as assistants to foreign workers, implemented Indonesian language education and training for Indonesian workers in accordance with their qualifications and positions, and facilitated Indonesian language education and training for foreign workers.  This is so that foreign workers can transfer knowledge or transfer of know how. Furthermore, the management no longer provides formal Indonesian language education and training. For the practice of using Indonesian, foreign workers learn through google translite, learn from office mates and also practice independently when shopping using Indonesian. Assistants from office staff only observe, monitor, and correct if there are mistakes. Learning by doing, learning by hearing is more effective.
