Authors: Motta Fernando , Farber Mark A.
Published: May 2024

Aortic aneurysm affects a significant part of the world’s population. Traditional open surgery is considered safe, effective, and durable. However, some patients are considered not fit for such repair, especially when considering aneurysms that involve the thoracoabdominal aortic segment. The advent of the endovascular technique has gained great acceptance and, as evidence accumulated, it has shifted the paradigm for the treatment of TAAA. This chapter will address several aspects of the endovascular treatment of TAAA using devices with fenestration and directional branches, including aspects of the decision-making process, pre-operative planning, device implantation, intra-operative imaging, and the current evidence regarding outcomes.

Authors: Wang Xiaodan , Wang Beibei , Shen Hao
Published: May 2024

Since it was first reported at Science in 2011, the hydrogenation technique to prepare black TiO2 has received great attention worldwide. However, most of the reported hydrogenation techniques require harsh conditions and/or high costs that seriously limit their practical applications. In response to overcome the above technical bottleneck, two advanced hydrogenation technologies, low temperature hot wire H hydrogenation and room temperature H+ hydrogenation, are developed. The chapter focuses on the two technologies to hydrogenate TiO2 nanorods achieving the highest photocurrent density of black TiO2 reported to date under photoelectrochemical (PEC) hydrogen production conditions, while simultaneously addressing issues like high temperature, high pressure and prolonged treatment as well as chemical residues with traditional hydrogenation approaches. Comparisons of the proposed technologies with conventional methods are conducted: Our advanced hydrogenations demonstrate more efficient and low-cost technologies beyond those of state-of-art hydrogenations, enabling them to move from basic research to large-scale practical application.

Authors: Mardhatillah Dini , Ramdan Al Musthafa Muhammad
Published: May 2024

Victims of sexual violence need to get legal protection, both preventively and repressively. This study aims to analyze efforts to restore the rights of victims of sexual violence and their legal protection. This research is a normative legal research using statutory approach and consepal approach. The data obtained were analyzed with descriptive analysis. The results of this study conclude that the criminal procedural law in Indonesia is not optimal in paying attention to the rights of victims of criminal acts, but besides that there is a study of victimology that focuses on victims of crime including how legal protection efforts are made. Preventive protection in Indonesia has been quite good with the introduction of regulations as a legal basis for victims of sexual violence crimes who, with their various remedies, access justice and remedy through protection for the Witness and Victim Protection Agency (LPSK). In addition, they can also obtain compensation in the form of money for losses suffered as well as assistance with medical and psychological and psychosocial costs. However, education facilities for child victims have not been covered by the regulation, even though victims of sexual violence who drop out of school need to violate their right to education according to their needs. In addition, in developing repressive protection, law enforcers related to cases of sexual violence, such as investigators and public prosecutors, must actively provide information related to efforts to protect and compensate for losses that can be accessed by victims.

Authors: Dahesh Mohamed N. , El-Kameesy Samir Y. , Al-Abyad Mogahed E. , Ali Gobran N. , Naji Abdullah T.
Published: May 2024

Building materials comprise a diverse range of natural rocks that contain varying mineral components including radionuclides. Gamma spectrometry-based high-purity Germanium detectors were utilized to measure the activity concentrations of natural radionuclides: Radium-226 (226Ra), Thorium-232 (232Th), and Potassium-40 (40K) in various building rock samples found within and surrounding Taiz city. The activity concentrations of 226Ra, 232Th, and 40K vary from 27.79 ± 0.77 to 234.49 ± 3.13 Bq.kg-1, 25.82 ± 0.40 to 415.31 ± 2.47 Bq.kg-1, and 457.91±2.61 to 1139.56 ± 5.43 Bq.kg-1 with overall average value of 71.55 Bq.kg-1, 93.87 Bq.kg-1, 966.88 Bq.kg-1 respectively, these values were higher than the permissible thresholds. Furthermore, several radiation hazard indices were estimated including the radium equivalent (Raeq), the external hazard index (Hex), the internal hazard index (Hin), the gamma level index (Iɤ), the dose rate(Dɤ), the annual effective dose equivalent (AEDE), the excess lifetime cancer risk (ELCR), and the annual gonadal dose equivalent (AGDE). The findings illustrated that Basalt rocks have the minimum values of radiation hazard indices while the Himatite rocks have the maximum values of radiation hazard. The average values of radiation risks for most of building rocks fall below the recommended limits for safety. Based on the Radiation hazard indices of building rock samples, it can be concluded that with the exception of hematite rocks, all the examined rocks are considered safe for use in construction materials and pose non-significant radiation risks. The awareness about natural radioactivity levels of building rocks is critical for planning and performing strategies in radiation safety of buildings.
Emotional Separation among Some Wives in the Municipality of the Capital, Sana’a: An Exploratory Study in Light of the Repercussions of the War for the Period 2015–2023
Authors: Al-Baddai Nasser Ali
Published: May 2024

This study aimed to find out the extent of emotional separation among wives residing in the capital Sana’a in Yemen in light of the repercussions of the ongoing war (2015-2023). The study followed the descriptive approach, and a questionnaire was distributed to a sample of (103) wives in the capital Sana’a who suffer from a case of emotional separation from their husbands. They were chosen randomly. The results indicated moderate levels of emotional separation in multiple axes: (emotional, social, and economic). The psychological and physical axis also came in at a high degree. The husband’s educational level had a significant impact on the degree of separation. Overall and specifically on the “emotional” axis, where the husband’s educational qualifications at the primary level were associated with greater separation, the wife’s economic level also affected the overall grades and on the social, economic, and emotional dimensions, where lower economic status was associated with higher separation. It is worth noting that no differences emerged based on variables, such as: duration of marriage, housing ownership, or work status, but the type of housing (such as living with the husband’s family or a co-wife) showed an association with greater separation on both the economic and psychological-physical levels. Finally, the filial dimension was associated with higher scores on the “emotional” axis.

Authors: Nandi Veronez Marisângela , Madalena Martins Aline , Pereira Schlickmann Maria Sirlene
Published: May 2024

This article aims to develop a reflection on aspects of the development of written language as a cultural instrument produced by humanity, and its appropriation, We defend the necessity for children to appropriate the knowledge historically produced by society to become humanized and subjects of their own history. It is a bibliographical research, grounded in a historical-dialectical materialism approach and based on cultural-historical theory. The research is supported by the studies of Vygotsky, Luria, Leontiev, and Fisher.The results indicate that, throughout history, the access to writing has been the privilege of a minority and education still takes on the form of traditional logic in the school environment, characterizing as an instrument of domination and alienation. It is concluded that access to autonomous writing is one of the basic requirements so that individuals humanize themselves, leave the "cave," and achieve effective social belonging. And that the development of writing in/by the child should be taught as social practices, in real situations of language use, as constitutive acts of consciousness. To overcome traditional logic, it is important for teachers to understand how children learn, based on a theoretical-methodological foundation that promotes the development of autonomy and the fullest human potential.

Results: (1) The three groups' comparison in HbA1c, FIns, HOMA-IR, UACR, BUN, Ucr, SOD, MCP-1, and TNF-a levels were with P<0.05. The levels of TG and LDL-C in the EDKD group were higher than those in the T2DM and the healthy groups; the levels of FPG, HbA1c, FINs, HOMA-IR, UACR, SOD, MCP-1, TNF-a in the EDKD and T2DM groups were higher than those in the healthy group, while SOD was smaller than that in the healthy group; the levels of BUN, Ucr, hs-CRP, FPG, HbA1c, FINs, HOMA-IR, UACR, SOD, MCP-1, TNF-a in the EDKD group were higher than those in the T2DM group, while SOD was smaller than that in the T2DM group. The above results were with P<0.05. (2) It has P<0.05 in Monocyte count, NLRP3, NT-proBNP, caspase-1, ASC and others in the three groups. Those in the EDKD and T2DM groups were higher than those in the healthy group. The levels of these indicators in the EDKD group were higher than those in the T2DM group, with P<0.05. NLRP3, Caspase-1, ASC, IL1b, and IL-18 were positively correlated with UACR, BUN, and Ucr in the EDKD group. All the above differences were P<0.05. Conclusions: NLRP3 inflammasome and its related molecules caspase-1, ASC, IL-1b, IL-18 and other levels increase in early elderly EDKD and are closely related to the severity of EDKD.

Female pelvic dimensions relevant to labour process in a black Kenyan population
Authors: OBIMBO MM , KOIGI PK , NICOLE G.A , SANG D
Published: May 2024

Introduction: Maternal pelvic dimensions are key to determining progress and outcome of labour. In addition, the  size of the pelvis is a crucial reference point in attempting to predict cephalopelvic disproportion. There is paucity  of data regarding pelvic dimensions amongst black Kenyan population despite the central significance of such data  in local obstetrics practice.  
Methods: A cross-sectional study of 50 female pelvic osteology specimens was performed at the National Museums  of Kenya, Nairobi. Data were collected using a structured study instrument and were analyzed using Statistical Pack age for Social Sciences version 21. 
Results: At the pelvic inlet, the true conjugate was 10.37 ± 1.02cm, the diagonal conjugate was 11.72 ± 1.07cm and  the obstetric conjugate was 11.44 ± 0.78cm. The transverse diameter was 11.42 ± 0.96cm. In the mid-cavity, the  anteroposterior diameter was 10.64 ± 1.00cm, while the interspinous diameter was 8.49 ± 0.92cm. At the outlet, the  anteroposterior diameter was 9.66 ± 1.16cm, while the intertuberous diameter was 9.04 ± 0.92cm. The subpubic  angle was 74.54 ± 9.72 degrees. The posterior depth was 9.95 ± 1.11cm, while the anterior depth was 3.24 ± 1.41 cm.
Conclusion: The average pelvic dimensions in this population are smaller than what has been observed in other  populations. Of significance is that some morphometric dimensions were ominously smaller than what has been  implicated in cephalopelvic disproportion. Imaging and clinical studies would help shed more light on correlation  of the dimensions and obstetric outcomes in black Kenyan population.
El ruido y el velo. Perder los derechos civiles en el México liberal. El caso Raigosa, 1872-1879
Authors: Sacristán Cristina
Published: May 2024

Al comenzar el año de 1873, el juicio de incapacidad por enajenación mental contra Felipe Raigosa atrapó el interés público, cuando la prensa denunció el uso siniestro de la justicia contra un destacado abogado y político mexicano. Para la medicina de la época, planteó el desafío de si una persona que razonaba podía estar loca y si era motivo suficiente para perder el ejercicio de sus derechos civiles. En medio de las controversias médicas, la trascendencia mediática, los intereses patrimoniales en disputa y las sospechas de parcialidad de algunos magistrados, este litigio demostró la estrecha colaboración entre la familia, la medicina y el derecho. La sentencia autorizó que una mujer casada, como Manuela Moncada, viviera fuera del hogar conyugal, manejara su patrimonio y educara a sus hijos sin la mirada vigilante de su marido, en franca oposición a las directrices del liberalismo de esa época. En contrapartida, Felipe Raigosa se empeñó en levantar un sistema de defensas desde su experiencia psicótica para enfrentar un fallo que lo declaró incapaz, lo sujetó a tutela y arrasó con su reputación pública. Una “locura jurídica” que lo llevó a forjarse una nueva identidad a partir del disfrute de una serie de derechos que no eran los modernos derechos civiles consagrados por el orden constitucional, sino derechos tradicionales que arraigaban en el antiguo régimen.
Correlation between Electrocardiogram Changes and Right Ventricular Systolic Function in Patients with Chronic Atrial Fibrillation
Authors: Yang Ling , Yan Rong
Published: May 2024

Background: Chronic atrial fibrillation (CAF) induces various electric disturbances, and a single mutation can cause multifarious phenotypes or combinations. Identifying the correlation of electrocardiogram changes corresponding to the disorders of electrical activity with right ventricular systolic function (RVSF) is important for the treatment and prognosis of CAF. Therefore, this study explored the correlation of electrocardiogram changes and RVSF in patients with CAF. Methods: From March 2022, to March 2023, 97 patients with CAF admitted to the Department of Cardiology of our hospital (study group) and 100 normal people who received health examination (control group) were subjected to echocardiogram and electrocardiogram to record relevant parameters for correlation analysis. Results: Significant differences were found in the electrocardiogram indices and right heart function parameters between the two groups. The study group had significantly higher heart rate, QTc interval, QT interval and T wave time than the control group (p < 0.05). The study group showed significantly higher right ventricular end-diastolic volume (RVEDV) and right ventricular end-systolic volume (RVESV), and lower right ventricular stroke volume (RVSV) and right ventricular ejection fraction (RVEF) than the control group (p < 0.05). Pearson correlation analysis showed that QTc interval, QT interval, and T wave time were positively correlated with RVESV (p < 0.05); QTc interval, QT interval, and T wave time were negatively correlated with RVSV (p < 0.05); and QTc interval was negatively correlated with RVEF (p < 0.05). Conclusion: A correlation exists between electrocardiogram changes and RVSF in patients with CAF.

Ethical Considerations in AI Simulations for Designing Assistive Technologies
Authors: Miser Evin , Sarioguz Orcun
Published: May 2024

Current ethical debates on the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in healthcare approach AI technology in three primary ways. First, they assess the risks and potential benefits of current AI-enabled products using ethical checklists. Second, they propose ex ante lists of ethical values relevant to the design and development of assistive technologies. Third, they advocate for incorporating moral reasoning into AI's automation processes. These three perspectives dominate the discourse, as evidenced by a brief literature summary. We propose a fourth approach: viewing AI as a methodological tool to aid ethical reflection. This involves an AI simulation concept informed by three elements: 1) stochastic human behavior models based on behavioral data for simulating realistic scenarios, 2) qualitative empirical data on value statements regarding internal policy, and 3) visualization components to illustrate the impact of variable changes. This approach aims to inform an interdisciplinary field about anticipated ethical challenges or trade-offs in specific settings, prompting a re-evaluation of design and implementation plans. This is particularly useful for applications involving complex values and behaviors or limited communication resources, such as dementia care or care for individuals with cognitive impairments. While simulation does not replace ethical reflection, it allows for detailed, context-sensitive analysis during the design process and before implementation.Finally, we discuss the quantitative analysis methods enabled by stochastic simulations and the potential for these simulations to enhance traditional thought experiments and future-oriented technology assessments.
