Background: The AIRCARD study is designed to investigate the relationship between long-term exposure to air and noise pollution and cardiovascular disease incidence and mortality. Aim: To conduct a robust prospective cohort analysis assessing the cumulative and differential impacts of air and noise pollution exposure on cardiovascular disease and mortality. This study will adjust for relevant confounders, including traditional cardiovascular risk factors, socioeconomic indicators, and medication use. Methods: This prospective cohort study will include male participants aged 65-74, recruited from the two large Danish DANCAVAS and VIVA trials, both population-based randomized, multicentered, clinically controlled studies. We will assess long-term exposure to air pollutants using the state-of-the-art DEHM/UBM/AirGIS modelling system and noise pollution through the Nord2000 and SoundPLAN models, covering data from 1979 to 2019. The primary analysis will utilize Cox proportional hazards models, adjusted for confounders identified in the cohort (age, body mass index, hypertension, diabetes, smoking status, family history of heart disease, socioeconomic factors, and medication use). Discussion: The AIRCARD study will address global concerns about the impact of air and noise pollution on cardiovascular disease. This research is crucial for understanding how the pollutants contribute to cardiovascular disease. We aim to provide valuable insights into this area, emphasizing the need for public health measures to mitigate pollution exposure. Our goal is to provide policymakers and healthcare professionals with information on the role of environmental factors in cardiovascular health that could influence global strategies to reduce the cardiovascular disease burden associated with pollution.

A Panel Report on Higher Education in the Age of AI from the Perspective of Academic Leaders in the Midwest U.S.
Authors:   University of Wisconsin - Green Bay, Bansal Gaurav , Mitchell Alanah ,   Drake University, Li Dahui ,   University of Colorado
Published: March 2024

This panel report is based on an academic leadership panel at the 18th annual Midwest Association for Information Systems (MWAIS) 2023 conference held in St. Paul, Minnesota. A panel of five university chancellors and presidents was brought together to discuss the current and potential challenges and opportunities of higher education institutions, particularly the comprehensive regional universities in the Midwest U.S. region. The panel was asked to reflect on the challenges and opportunities afforded by the rapid use and deployment of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and how this impacts higher education. Discussion themes and insights are presented along with the future outlook considerations. The panel discussed how universities are preparing themselves for broad challenges and opportunities necessitated by the rapid technological advances in AI along with other social and economic changes - such as declining state support and lower student enrollments, by reexamining the value of college education and reevaluating and repositioning curricula and programs. The discussion underscored that university leaders are placing a strong emphasis on human qualities in the human-AI dynamic. These qualities include adaptive skills for tackling unstructured problems, fostering collaboration, critical thinking, empathy, emotional intelligence, and a focus on ethical and social aspects. They highlight these attributes as vital elements, considering them more important than just the technological components when grappling with challenges posed by AI in human decision-making and higher education.
THE METHOD OF COMMITTING MURDER WITH PARTICULAR CRUELTY AS AN ELEMENT OF THE CRIMINAL CHARACTERISTICS OF THESE CRIMES
Authors:   Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, Kyiv, Ukraine, Isagova N. M.
Published: March 2024

The article is devoted to the study of the method of committing murders with particular brutality as one of the most important elements of the forensic characteristics of these crimes. On the basis of a systematic analysis of scientific forensic literature, criminal, criminal procedural legislation and the results of investigative and judicial practice, as well as the results of a survey of practical workers (investigators, prosecutors), it was concluded that the method of committing the crime as an element of the forensic characteristics has a significant impact on the qualification, as well as on the methodology of the investigation of the specified criminal offense. The method of committing murders with particular brutality has been considered by us from the point of view of its classic in criminology system of interrelated actions of preparation, direct commission and concealment of traces of the crime. The results of the systematic analysis of criminal proceedings opened on the grounds of the crime provided for in Clause 4, Part 2, Art. 115 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine, convincingly testifies that murders with particular brutality are almost never committed with preliminary preparation for the commission of the crime. As a rule, the criminal immediately implements the criminal intent that has arisen. It has been established that the only preparatory action carried out by a criminal and which can be considered preparation for the commission of a murder committed with particular cruelty is the selection and bringing to the scene of the crime of the instrument of its commission. In isolated cases, there was also a place for the criminal to wait for a favorable moment to start his criminal activity, namely the moment when the criminal and the victim (or victims) were alone. It has been established that murders with particular brutality are most often committed in the following ways: striking with hands and feet, jumping with feet on the victim’s body and head; inflicting barbed-cutting blows with a knife, including a hunting knife that belongs to cold weapons, with another sharp object (screwdriver, etc.); an object of chopping action (axe, shovel, etc.); amputation of body parts with a knife; striking with a blunt object (hammer, metal stick, etc.); strangulation with hands, object (wire, rope, etc.); arson of the victim and others. There have been several cases where various methods of committing murder with particular brutality are consistently used. The correlations between the elements of forensic characteristics are established: the way the crime was committed and the person of the criminal, the place of the crime and the victim.

Authors: Báez María del Mar , Páez Von Schmeling Noelia Andrea , Guizmaraes Torres Liliana
Published: March 2024

Este artículo expone un estudio de caso para determinar si los indicadores de desempeño son suficientes con relación al nivel de servicio logístico comprometido a determinar los atributos establecidos para medir el sistema logístico, recordemos que “todo lo que no se puede medir, no se puede controlar, lo que nos puede controlar, no se puede administrar”. Metodológicamente, se considera el trabajo de naturaleza descriptiva, dado que presenta la manera en que actualmente se realiza la medición del desempeño logístico a través de la aplicación de indicadores en el centro de distribución de la empresa Las Tacuaras S.A., una empresa nacional, del sector avícola, dedicada a la producción y comercialización de huevos enteros y huevo líquido. Primeramente, se realiza la descripción y caracterización de la empresa y su estructura organizacional, para luego enfocarnos en el proceso logístico y su composición. Al intervenir diversos departamentos en el proceso logístico, y como no todas las actividades que desarrollan los departamentos intervinientes tienen un impacto en el desempeño de la logística, nos enfocamos solo en las actividades del departamento de Distribución y Transporte. Se buscó información existente en la literatura, específicamente sobre desempeño logístico, indicadores de desempeño, centro de distribución y logística, en diversos medios como internet, tesis de grado, de maestría, artículos científicos, otros, constatando poco material específico para el sector avícola. Los resultados obtenidos revelan que la organización cuenta con una cadena de suministros, compuestos por miembros primarios y miembros de soporte, donde la logística cumple una función operativa dentro de la organización, desplazando el producto terminado a los canales de distribución, y también, como proceso de apoyo a la fabricación y al ciclo de vida del producto. Además, se constató que la organización cuenta con un nivel importante de incorporación de la tecnología de la información, para la integración de sus procesos, son expuestos a consideración de los directivos de la empresa, a fin de que los mismos puedan ser utilizados para la toma de decisiones, como base para el control del uso de los recursos, seguimiento al cumplimiento de los objetivos e identificación de oportunidades de mejoramiento.
Actualidad extranjera y perspectivas ultras
Authors: Gregorio David
Published: March 2024

La prensa española informó ampliamente acerca del golpe militar en Chile (1973), con actitudes opuestas. La revista de extrema derecha Fuerza Nueva defendió inmediatamente a los golpistas, prolongando su oposición sin paliativos al gobierno de Salvador Allende que habría impuesto en Chile, desde 1970, una situación similar a la que desarrolló la Segunda República española. Sin embargo, el tema chileno le permitía sobre todo enfocar desde otra perspectiva su retórica inmovilista en torno a la evolución política del régimen franquista. Desarrolló un discurso de legitimación del golpe en clave franquista, multiplicando las correspondencias y símiles entre los dos países para rechazar cualquier aperturismo. Esta retórica se radicalizó a lo largo del primer gobierno de Adolfo Suárez (1976-1977), durante el cual no sólo se mantuvo el golpe chileno como referente del discurso ultra, sino que pasó a encarnar un modelo a seguir. Fuerza Nueva pretendía, de esta forma, impulsar con renovados argumentos la movilización contra el proceso democrático (referéndum, legalización de partidos, elecciones legislativas…) pero también avivar las tentaciones intervencionistas de sectores militares afines.
primer populismo de la democracia española
Authors: Magaldi Fernández Adrián
Published: March 2024

Este artículo pretende analizar la figura de Juan Hormaechea y el movimiento populista en torno a él vertebrado, primero como alcalde de Santander y, posteriormente, como presidente de Cantabria. El intento de dominar las instituciones, el desprecio al adversario, la identificación personalista con la comunidad y el desarrollo de redes clientelares a través de un programa de elevado gasto público salpicado de numerosas irregularidades, fueron los cimientos de la que constituyó la primera gran experiencia populista de la nueva democracia alcanzada tras la muerte de Franco. A través de numeroso material hemerográfico pretende trazarse un recorrido por su trayectoria política para comprender e identificar ese populismo basado en la excentricidad y el personalismo del que Hormaechea sería su primer y mayor representante.
Caricatura anticlerical en la Barcelona de las bullangas
Authors: Rueda Sabala Pep
Published: March 2024

La caricatura es un producto cultural en proceso de adquirir reconocimiento historiográfico como espacio de socialización política popular. El presente texto analiza el impacto que esta tuvo en la configuración del rechazo generalizado hacia el clero que se hizo evidente durante el Bienio Revolucionario (1835-1837). Para ello se estudian treinta caricaturas producidas y/o circuladas en Barcelona durante el período 1833-1837, etapa de debate e inestabilidad política determinada por la Primera Guerra Carlista (1833-1839/40). Este análisis pone de manifiesto la instrumentalización propagandística de la caricatura anticlerical por parte del sector liberal, al mismo tiempo que evidencia la independencia en práctica y discurso del anticlericalismo popular. En conclusión, la caricatura se entiende como espacio de socialización y se considera asimismo que la adaptación del discurso anticlerical al formato gráfico satírico auspició un anticlericalismo de matriz popular.
bestiario anticlerical
Authors: Sánchez Collantes Sergio
Published: March 2024

Una de las estrategias comunicativas más habituales en la prensa satírica de carácter anticlerical fue el recurso a la animalización del clero. De este modo, los ilustradores deshumanizaban a sus adversarios identificándolos con criaturas tradicionalmente asociadas con lo siniestro, la oscuridad, la infamia, la suciedad u otras cualidades negativas, como los cuervos, los murciélagos, las serpientes, las arañas o los cerdos. El objetivo del presente artículo es trazar una aproximación a ese bestiario, empleando su tipología como hilo conductor para estructurarla. Dicha zoomorfización, además, generó un léxico específico en los discursos textuales que retroalimentaba el efecto de los visuales, contribuyendo a que en el imaginario anticlerical se consolidaran una serie de representaciones y estereotipos que continuaron en épocas posteriores y que, además, tuvieron notables paralelismos en otros países europeos, lo que justifica la inclusión aquí de varias notas comparativas.

Authors: Khudaiwala Ashish , Patel Rupesh L. , Bumataria Rakesh
Published: March 2024

Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) is one of the newest ways to light up outdoor areas such as streets, stadiums, airports, military bases, harbors, and high mast towers. The main reason for the high focus is power consumption with better brightness. Even though LEDs have so many benefits, researchers should focus on better managing temperatures as the main reason behind the failure of LEDs is overheating. In this article, modern research trends like using heat pipes filled with nanofluids, ionic winds, spray cooling, use of fins, refrigerants, and oil cooling are focused on and discussed concerning LEDs, solar stills, electric vehicle batteries, and different heat transfer devices to develop a new way to handle the heat from higher-wattage LEDs. There is a research thrust in the field of more than one nanoparticle in the base fluid, and its proportions are not analyzed during LEDs cooling study using a heat pipe. It is necessary to control the heat using a more effective technique. Heat pipe with nanofluid is a more efficient, compact, and cost-effective cooling device o reduce LED failure due to higher heat flux. Hence, it is promising to use nanofluid-filled heat pipes to serve the purpose of the life span enhancement of LEDs.

Innovative approach for improved sustained delivery of metformin hydrochloride for its anti-hyperglycemic activity
Authors: Pillai M Kar , Pillai S , Jain S
Published: March 2024

Metformin hydrochloride, an antidiabetic agent, is useful in reducing the blood glucose concentration in Type II diabetes. It is also finding its use as a repurposed drug. The formulations consisted of micro drug delivery systems prepared by emulsification method and were evaluated in-vitro and in-vivo. Process variables like amount of polymer, speed of agitation and stirring, presence or absence of surfactant and cross linker offered a versatile approach towards obtaining the formulation though affected physicochemical properties of formulations. Discrete, spherical, and free-flowing microspheres, in the size range and granularity of 250 to 700µ were used to control the drug release rate. Drug release was diffusion controlled as evident from the Higuchi kinetics. The physical characteristics of the formulations were reproducible. Healthy and alloxan induced hyperglycaemic male albino mice were used for in-vivo experimentation by evaluating plasma glucose level reduction and % reduction in the blood glucose level after administration of pure drug and formulations. The results indicate significant sustained fall in the blood glucose level for about 10 hrs following formulation administration as compared to the pure drug.
Retrospective comparative evaluation of airway management with different techniques of fiberoptic intubation in patients undergoing surgery for temporomandibular joint ankylosis
Authors: Saini Varun Kumar , Saini Priyanka , Soni Priyanka , Khandelwal Manish
Published: March 2024

Background: Temporomandibular fusion has devastating effects on the growth and development of an individual's jaws. Thus, surgical modality is seen as a last resort to its correction. Surgical management of temporomandibular ankylosis cases presents significant challenges to an anesthetist in maintaining airway patency. Thus, this retrospective study evaluated the techniques for combating airway management challenges, emphasizing developing an institutional protocol that effectively minimizes errors. Methods: This retrospective study was conducted in the RUHS College of Dental Sciences and attached to the RUHS College of Medical Sciences, Jaipur, Rajasthan, India, for a period of three years. The records of 94 patients who had undergone surgical correction of TMJ ankylosis and were intubated with fiberoptic intubation were compiled. The cases were divided into groups, Group General anesthesia (GA) and Group Regional anesthesia (RA), and analyzed for demographics, successful intubation, and complications. Results: In Group GA, 98 % of cases were successfully intubated. Patient movements were 0 in Group GA and 25% in Group RA. Coughing was present in 1.61% of cases of group GA and 98.38% of Group RA. Epistaxis occurred in 35% of cases, and 29% of cases suffered from sore throat after extubation in Group GA. Conclusion: The anesthetist dilemma of intubating awake or anesthetized always exists. However, a careful preoperative evaluation and assessment of the patient for mask ventilation helps in the successful anesthetic management of temporomandibular joint ankylosis cases. For the anticipated difficult airway awake, fiberoptic intubation is still the ‘gold standard’ technique.

Innovative Control Effectors for Maneuvering of Air Vehicles
Authors: Hristov Georgi
Published: March 2024

Flow control is a rapidly developing key technological area which is subject to extensive research as it offers the potential to enhance aircraft aerodynamic performance, control, and maneuverability. The current paper details the methods and the results of a research which envisions assisting the newly formed NATO Task Group STO-AVT-239, with assessing the ability of modern active flow control actuators to improve the performance of Unmanned Combat Air Vehicles (UCAV). The project was supported by the ACE Undergraduate Research Topics Program at IIT and investigated the feasibility of the Coanda effect in achieving Circulation Control (CC) in order to produce rolling motion in cruise. Understanding of the performance of the SACCON airframe design and the complex vortex dominated flow field around was achieved through research papers and previous work of NATO Task Groups. It was discovered that a mid-span vortex influences and disturbs the flow above the control surfaces diminishing their effectiveness. A simple freeware computer code was used to predict the behavior of the airframe and the results were compared to experiment. The predictive abilities of the code were assessed to be good given the limitations of the software. Along with the airframe, CC was researched inorder to predict its maneuver control capabilities.The experimental data and the computationalpredictions were then used in combination witha semi-empirical aileron control model to predictthe aileron effectiveness and compare it tothe CC results. In order to be able to apply forresearch funding from appropriate institutions,a windtunnel experiment was designed andplanned to be conducted to validate the developedmodel.

Analysis of Scheduling Acceleration of a Hospital Construction using the Precedence Diagram Method Combined with Fast Track and the Precedence Diagram Method Combined with Crashing Method
Authors: Charisma Vindiantri Verocha Nova , Wisnumurti ‎ , Puspa Negara Kartika
Published: March 2024

In general, the completion of a project must be in accordance with a binding contract agreement, but in its implementation, there can be obstacles that cause delays. Project delays can affect the results of weekly progress and the final results of the project and affect the performance appraisal of project implementers. Delays can be seen through the weekly progress of the program according to the schedule. Delays can be prevented by speeding up existing scheduling. This research aimed to conduct an acceleration analysis on the schedule using the fast track method and the crashing method and critical network analysis using the Precedent Diagram (PDM), then determine which method is appropriate according to this research. In this case study, there was a delay in the 18th week where the progress of the plan of 16.60% was only at 11.21% so there was a deviation of 5.4%. This delayed the duration of project completion from 366 days to 390 days. The analysis results obtained by applying the Fast-Track method can overcome delays by returning the schedule to the original plan, without any additional costs. The results of the analysis using the PDM method combined with the crashing method can make the duration faster than the plan duration, which was 359 days or 7 working days faster and the additional cost is about 1.02%. The fast track and crashing methods can be used as scheduling acceleration tools to overcome delays, but in financing, the fast track method is more cost-effective while the crashing method has additional costs. This research provides references and descriptions about the effects of using the fast track and crashing methods on projects.

Ethical Considerations in AI-Powered Work Environments: A Literature Review and Theoretical Framework for Ensuring Human Dignity and Fairness
Authors: Oyekunle David , Boohene David , Preston David
Published: March 2024

This article critically examines the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into work environments, focusing on the ethical implications that arise. It seeks to underscore the need for balancing technological advancements with the protection of human dignity and fairness, exploring how AI's transformative potential can be harmonized with the core tenets of human rights.
The article utilizes a comprehensive literature review to construct a theoretical framework that outlines AI's capabilities and ethical considerations. This framework encompasses the interdisciplinary foundations of AI, including its roots in cognitive psychology, decision theory, and computer engineering. It further delves into the ethical dilemmas presented by AI in the workplace, such as privacy concerns, the risk of bias, issues of accountability, and the broader impact on human rights. This exploration is aimed at understanding the complexities of AI's integration into the labor market and its implications for occupational safety and health.
The findings of the article highlight the dual nature of AI as both a catalyst for efficiency and innovation and a source of ethical challenge. It's important to include a lot of different points of view and include everyone in the process of developing AI to make it more fair and respect human rights. Laws and policies need to keep changing to keep up with AI's progress and protect people legally from possible abuses. Strong moral guidelines and clear AI systems are also needed to protect privacy and reduce bias.
The study's originality and value emphasize the need for AI ethical discussions in human rights contexts, contribute to technology governance and human rights discussions, and discuss theoretical debates on human dignity, fairness, and privacy in the face of technological advancement.
Un literato alucinado en busca de versos. Notas sobre lo sublime, el terror y lo siniestro en Insensatez, de Horacio Castellanos Moya
Authors: Morales Orozco Fernando Adolfo
Published: March 2024

El presente estudio analiza las figuras poéticas en la novela Insensatez, de Horacio Castellanos Moya, las cuales son parte de un imaginario de violencia militarizada y deshumanizada que es visto por medio de testimonios de sobrevivientes indígenas de un episodio ambiguo en un territorio desconocido. Estas imágenes, entendidas desde el personaje de un literato, se reconstruyen y alteran la percepción del protagonista en su presente. El texto se estudia a partir de las categorías estéticas de lo sublime y lo siniestro, propuestas por Edmund Burke y Sigmund Freud, y busca comprender cómo estos pasajes no solo causan una fascinación por el artificio literario en el protagonista, sino también el proceso en que el lector puede observar de qué forma la reconstrucción de un evento traumático afecta su conciencia; con la intención de observar el carácter universal con el que se dota al texto.

The author proposes to empower assistants of judges to consider questions that are resolved on the stage of initiation of court proceedings, including adoption of statements of claim, leaving them without movement, returning and refusing to accept them. The question on whether assistants of judges can consider simplified procedure cases and cases on issuing of court orders is a more debatable one.
Criminalistic Characteristics of Court Proceedings as a Foundation for Developing Trial Methodology in Bribery Criminal Cases
Authors:   Judge of the Zheleznodorozhny District Court of Ulan Ude, Vasilyieva Larisa G.
Published: March 2024

The author, based on a comprehensive analysis of the literature, comes to the conclusion about the active development of the doctrine of criminalistic characterization of crime in the direction of the development of ideas about the need to separate such scientific categories as criminalistic characterization of investigation and criminalistic characterization of trial. It is stated that the latter can be used as an informational basis for the formation of trial techniques, including in criminal cases of bribery. The authors' approaches to understanding the essence of the criminalistic characteristic of the trial are analyzed, on the basis of which a conclusion is made about its significant elements in relation to criminal cases of bribery.

Published: March 2024

Aim: This study aimed to present the outcomes in terms of efficacy and complications of the POEM procedure in adult patients diagnosed with achalasia and to investigate the potential effects of traditional risk factors such as age, gender, and obesity on these outcomes.

Material and Methods: A total of 51 patients who underwent a POEM procedure were retrospectively evaluated from January 2021 to July 2023. The main outcome measured was the rate of clinical success, determined by achieving an Eckardt score of 3 or lower two months after the procedure. Secondary outcomes involved any adverse events, ICU admissions, and the presence of reflux symptoms at the two-month post-procedure mark.

Results: The mean age of the patients was 49.3 ± 13.3 years, and the duration of symptoms ranged between 6 months and 10 years. Preoperative median Eckardt scores were 9, ranging between 5 and 12. At the 2nd month post-procedure, 96.1% of patients had an Eckardt score of 3 or lower, with a median reduction of 8 points (IQR = 6 – 8, p < 0.001). Among the patients, 13.7% encountered adverse events, comprising 3.9% with pneumomediastinum, 1.9% with mediastinitis, and 1.9% with intra-tunnel bleeding. At the 2nd month post-procedure, 17.6% of patients exhibited reflux esophagitis. No mortality was observed in any of the patients.

Conclusion: POEM is an effective, safe, and minimally invasive treatment for achalasia that represents a promising therapeutic option, offering symptomatic relief, improved quality of life, and boasting a high clinical success rate. Although a small percentage of patients experienced adverse events, these were manageable and did not result in mortality.
Arquitetura da Paisagem em cidades novas capitais
Authors: De Brito Sousa Giuliana , Trevisan Ricardo
Published: March 2024

O artigo, ao se aportar no campo da Arquitetura da Paisagem, vem expor as transformações da paisagem urbana proporcionadas por novas capitais fundadas nos séculos XVIII e XIX no Brasil. Trata-se dos casos de Vila Bela da Santíssima Trindade (MT), inaugurada em 1752, ainda no período colonial, e Belo Horizonte (MG), construída ex nihilo nos anos 1890, já no período republicano. O interesse em discutir estas duas cidades novas administrativas como palcos de transformações da paisagem urbana decorre da representação de ambas em momentos político-econômico-social distintos de nossa história, assim como explora o savoir-faire, atento às técnicas e saberes urbanísticos colocados em prática. A pesquisa embasou-se em estudos históricos sobre a fundação dessas cidades, a partir de documentos existentes no Instituto do Patrimônio Histórico e Artístico Nacional (IPHAN), somados a livros, artigos, teses e dissertações, além de visitas in loco para o cruzamento de informações. Os resultados direcionam para pontos de interesse e inflexões na construção da paisagem de Vila Bela e Belo Horizonte, tais como a consolidação do traçado regular e suas variações e a apropriação de jardins projetados, sobretudo na condição de parques públicos, hoje presentes em cidades capitais por todo o país.
