ВПЛИВ ЦУКРОВОГО ДІАБЕТУ НА СЕРЦЕВУ НЕДОСТАТНІСТЬ ЗІ ЗБЕРЕЖЕНОЮ ФРАКЦІЄЮ ВИКИДУ: У ФОКУСІ ДІАСТОЛІЧНА ФУНКЦІЯ ТА ПРОФІЛЬ БІОМАРКЕРІВ
Authors: Кулаєць Надія
Published: July 2024

Вступ: Це дослідження заглиблюється в складний взаємозв'язок між цукровим діабетом 2 типу (ЦД2) та серцевою недостатністю зі збереженою фракцією викиду лівого шлуночка (СНзбФВ) - поширеним, але маловивченим серцевим захворюванням. Вплив ЦД2 на СНзбФВ є критичним, враховуючи зростаючу поширеність обох станів у світі. Це дослідження має на меті з'ясувати, як ЦД2 змінює діастолічну функцію та впливає на серцеві біомаркери у пацієнтів з СНзбФВ, таким чином сприяючи глибшому розумінню їх взаємодії.
Мета: Дослідити відмінності в діастолічній функції та рівнях серцевих біомаркерів між пацієнтами з СНзбФВ з ЦД2 та без нього.
Матеріали і методи: Дослідження включало когорту пацієнтів з СНзбФВ, які були розподілені на групи залежно від наявності або відсутності ЦД2. Ехокардіографія використовувалася для оцінки діастолічної функції, в той час як профілі біомаркерів, таких як NT-proBNP, sST2 і галектин-3, аналізувалися для оцінки кардіального стресу та фіброзу.
Результати: Дослідження виявило вірогідні відмінності в ехокардіографічних параметрах між пацієнтами з СНзбФВ з ЦД2 і без ЦД2. У пацієнтів з обома станами спостерігалися виражені зміни показників діастолічної функції. Аналіз біомаркерів додатково підтвердив ці результати. Підвищений рівень NT-proBNP у групі ЦД2 свідчив про підвищений серцевий стрес, тоді як вищі рівні sST2 і галектину-3 вказували на посилення фіброзу міокарда та запалення.
Висновки: Дослідження виявило достовірні відмінності в індексі об'єму лівого передсердя, Deceleration Time, співвідношенні E/e' та фракції викиду лівого шлуночка між двома групами. Ці дані свідчать про те, що ЦД2 сприяє більш серйозним змінам структури та функції серця у пацієнтів з СНзбФВ. Підвищені рівні галектину-3, NT-proBNP та sST2 у пацієнтів з СНзбФВ при ЦД2 вказують на посилення міокардіального стресу, фіброзу та запалення у цій підгрупі пацієнтів. Галектин-3 і sST2 виявилися значущими предикторами ЦД2 при СНзбФВ. ROC-аналіз показав, що sST2 і галектин-3 мають вищу діагностичну точність у виявленні ЦД2 у пацієнтів із СНзбФВ порівняно з ехокардіографічними показниками.
Ключові слова: серцева недостатність, збережена фракція викиду, цукровий діабет, діастолічна дисфункція, серцеві біомаркери, ехокардіографія.

Authors: Grishina A. S.
Published: July 2024

The relevance of the research topic is determined by the need to resist the increasing attempts to falsify the history of the Great Patriotic War. The liberation of Europe by the Red Army from fascism began in March 1944 in Romania. By mid-June, active hostilities gave way to positional defense, which continued at the beginning of the Iasi-Kishinev operation. This period is almost not covered in the research literature, meanwhile, it was at this time that Soviet troops, in the course of small and local, but frequent and successful clashes, exhausted the enemy and lowered their morale, which played a role in the future.

The purpose of the study is to establish the content and determine the nature of the combat operations of the 7th Guards. armies of the 2nd Ukrainian Front in the period June 6 – August 19, 1944.

Objectives: to identify the main parameters characterizing the defense of the enemy and the 7th Guards army, compare the progress and results of combat operations of Romanian and Soviet units.

Methodology. The research was based on the principles of objectivity, historicism and consistency. The author used a complex of general scientific and special historical methods in his work: analytical, critical, problem-chronological, retrospective.

Results. It was established that the enemy’s defense in the area west of the city of Tirgu-Frumos relied on a powerful fortified area. Romanian troops during this period behaved passively, their rare reconnaissance actions usually did not achieve success and were defeated. At the same time, troops of the 7th Guards. The armies not only actively strengthened their defenses, but also conducted effective reconnaissance, inflicting significant damage on the enemy.

Conclusions. A study of documentary archival materials shows that the results of combat operations of units of the 7th Guards should not be underestimated. army during the period of positional defense from June to August 1944. Soviet troops exhausted the enemy, causing him significant material and moral damage, which reduced the combat effectiveness of the Romanian units in anticipation of the decisive offensive of the Red Army.
Literary Responses to the Civil Rights Movement: A Comparative Study
Authors: Mustafa Faiza Farhat Mohammad
Published: July 2024

This research paper explores the literary responses to the Civil Rights Movement, focusing on both African American and white American literature. It begins by providing a historical context, highlighting key events and figures, and the socio-political climate of the era that influenced literary production. Prominent African American works, such as Richard Wright's "Native Son" and James Baldwin's "The Fire Next Time," are analysed for their thematic focus on identity, racism, and empowerment. These works are contrasted with white American literature, including Harper Lee's "To Kill a Mockingbird" and Alex Haley's "The Autobiography of Malcolm X," which often address themes of guilt, complicity, and allyship. A comparative analysis reveals distinct thematic and narrative approaches between the two literary traditions. African American literature tends to foreground direct experiences of racial oppression and the quest for justice, while white American literature frequently explores the moral responsibilities and roles of white individuals in combating racism. The paper also examines the enduring relevance of these literary works, their influence on subsequent generations of writers and activists, and their reflections on the progress and ongoing challenges in the fight for racial equality. It underscores the importance of literature as a tool for social change and a means of documenting and understanding the complexities of the Civil Rights Movement.

Emerging Sources Citation Index (ESCI). ¿Hay diferentes tipos de factor de impacto?
Authors: Mendoza-Núñez Víctor Manuel
Published: July 2024

La necesidad y relevancia de medir el impacto de los artículos publicados en las revistas científicas en el desarrollo de la ciencia a través de índices citación científica, fue señalada por Eugene Garfield (1925-2017) en 1955, en el artículo “Citation Indexes for Science” publicado en la revista “Science”. Posteriormente, en 1961 surgió el Science Citation Index (SCI) y en 1975 se creó el Journal Citation Reports (JCR), con lo que en fue posible calcular el factor de impacto (FI) en este año, y en 1976 publicarlo por primera vez. En la actualidad hay un gran debate respecto a la importancia y usos del FI para la ciencia y sus implicaciones, sobre todo por los posibles conflictos de interés y las repercusiones de su aplicación indiscriminada, sin tener el conocimiento relativo a su origen y objetivo, no obstante, su reconocimiento y aceptación general en el mundo es indiscutible. En este contexto, el propósito de este breve artículo, es presentar una reseña del origen y características FI, los índices de las revistas de donde surge, con énfasis en el ESCI, para que los estudiantes, profesores e investigadores en proceso de formación tengan el conocimiento básico de este marco conceptual editorial, para la valoración e interpretación del FI y sus características, para que tomen una decisión razonada, cuando sometan un manuscrito a una revista que explicita su FI como un elemento de calidad y promoción para los autores y lectores. También se presentan el concepto y características de otros dos índices reconocidos en el ámbito científico, el CiteScore y SCImago Journal Rank, con el propósito de que se comprendan las diferencias con el FI, para la interpretación y uso adecuado de los tres indicadores.

Economic Reforms in Asia: India\'s 1991 LPG Policy vs. China\'s 1978 Approach
Authors: Venkatramanan Drithi Deshna
Published: July 2024

Abstract: The 20ࢎ࢚ century saw a boost in the number of economic reforms and policies as people came to recognize the role and importance of economic stability in the evolving world. The primary areas of focus in this research paper are two well known countries: India and China. The Indian economy had reached near stagnation by the late 1980’s. Many argued that it was the complex system of rules, regulations, and licensing that hampered the growth and development of the country. India’s external debt rose and Foreign Exchange Reserves were greatly depleted. The prices of essential goods increased and the country was in deficit. The LPG reforms initiated a major change in India’s economy, bringing about a new era. This paper aims to discuss the details of the reform and contrast it with another such policy.
Flow Analysis of Centrifugal Compressor using ANSYS
Authors: Awasthi Garima
Published: July 2024

Abstract: The aerodynamic and structural designs of the impeller are vital to the functioning of the entire compressor stage in centrifugal compressors. In contrast to previous years, there has been a greater demand for industrial centrifugal compressors to operate with greater efficiency and operational range. Although the efficiency of low-pressure-ratio centrifugal compressors has nearly achieved its maximum, intermediate and high-pressure ratio machines still lag behind the state-of-the-art in terms of efficiency. Maintaining maximum efficiency while extending the working range is a challenging task in centrifugal compressor design. Furthermore, a single design must be usable globally due to product globalisation, even in the face of technological disparities and variances in electricity frequency of up to 10 percent in some nations. Often operating at different rotational speeds, centrifugal compressors add another layer of complexity to the impeller structural design. A full-3D impeller design that is optimised for both structural integrity and aerodynamic performance is shown in this study .For air conditioning systems of the future, centrifugal compressor performance must be improved. This research focusses on systematic numerical simulation, a computationally efficient method of optimising centrifugal compressor performance. ANSYS simulations are used in conjunction with a thorough literature review on the aerodynamic behaviour of materials used in centrifugal compressors. For the purpose of performing flow simulations under subsonic circumstances with suitable boundary conditions and grid independence checks, geometric modelling was completed using CATIAV5R22 and imported into ANSYS. Tests were conducted using various aluminium materials and mass flow rates, and enhanced efficiency findings were confirmed by comparison with experimental data. Materials Processing and Characterisations is in charge of peer review.

Published: July 2024

The Covid-19 pandemic has re-signified numerous approaches to the social relationships established until then, especially those marked by gender, as women were greatly and differently impacted due to historically delineated specificities. This work focused on analyzing the consequences of the pandemic among women from the perspective of extracting a critical reflection of social markers, such as class and race/ethnicity, as predominant in women’s exclusion from the labor market and their difficult reallocation in the post-pandemic. This work is a cross-sectional and exploratory study, including a qualitative approach and with field research, realized through semi-structured interviews by carried out by phone calls to record the implications of the post-pandemic period for women. It was observed that the reabsorption of women by the labor market in the post-pandemic period is still a major challenge for public policies to combat gender inequality. The present study was approved by the Ethics and Research Committee of the University of Franca/UNIFRAN.

Universal framework for simultaneous tomography of quantum states and SPAM noise
Authors: Jayakumar Abhijith , Chessa Stefano , Coffrin Carleton , Lokhov Andrey Y. , Vuffray Marc , Misra Sidhant
Published: July 2024

We present a general denoising algorithm for performing simultaneous tomography of quantum states and measurement noise. This algorithm allows us to fully characterize state preparation and measurement (SPAM) errors present in any quantum system. Our method is based on the analysis of the properties of the linear operator space induced by unitary operations. Given any quantum system with a noisy measurement apparatus, our method can output the quantum state and the noise matrix of the detector up to a single gauge degree of freedom. We show that this gauge freedom is unavoidable in the general case, but this degeneracy can be generally broken using prior knowledge on the state or noise properties, thus fixing the gauge for several types of state-noise combinations with no assumptions about noise strength. Such combinations include pure quantum states with arbitrarily correlated errors, and arbitrary states with block independent errors. This framework can further use available prior information about the setting to systematically reduce the number of observations and measurements required for state and noise detection. Our method effectively generalizes existing approaches to the problem, and includes as special cases common settings considered in the literature requiring an uncorrelated or invertible noise matrix, or specific probe states.

EL INJUSTO DE LA “PERSUASIÓN COERCITIVA” EN EL DERECHO PENAL CHILENO: ESPECIALMENTE EL CASO “ANTARES DE LA LUZ”
Authors: Bardavío Antón Carlos
Published: July 2024

En un mundo de libertades las sectas también deben tener su espacio. Sin embargo, algunas de estas, al igual que puede suceder con cualquier otro grupo, utilizan un proselitismo que puede mermar o anular la capacidad de la voluntad de sus adeptos, y a través de este daño producir otros en la misma víctima o utilizarla contra otras. Esta dinámica ha sido denominada por la literatura especializada como persuasión coercitiva, pero su fundamento no radica en que se desarrolle por medio de un grupo, sino que el grupo es un plus por el cual tradicionalmente se ha conocido la problemática de las víctimas, mientras que su naturaleza injusta radicaría en el ataque a la capacidad de libre voluntad y, por lo tanto, puede operar en cualquier relación. Trataremos de determinar la naturaleza penal y las problemáticas que genera su tratamiento con los modelos tradicionales, observando cómo ciertas delimitaciones dogmáticas pueden ayudar al tratamiento tipológico y a la responsabilidad de cada interviniente.

Sifter and Mesh-Cribriform Carcinoma Breast
Authors: A* Bajaj
Published: July 2024

Invasive cribriform carcinoma breast emerges as a low grade subtype of invasive carcinoma breast. Neoplasm preponderantly (>90%) delineates a pure cribriform architecture or may represent as a mixed tumour composed of 10% to 90% of variant morphological subtype. Tumefaction is constituted of islands or nests of malignant epithelial cells demonstrating spherical or angulated contours or configure well defined cribriform spaces articulated by arches of epithelial cells, thereby delineating a sieve-like appearance with intercellular lumens impregnated with secretions. Miniature tumour cells display mild to moderate pleomorphism with absent nuclear atypia. Cribriform carcinoma breast is immune reactive to Oestrogen receptors(ER) or progesterone receptors (PR) and immune non-reactive to HER2 or diverse myoepithelial markers. Cribriform carcinoma breast requires segregation from neoplasms as adenoid cystic carcinoma, cribriform variant of ductal carcinoma in situ, collagenous spherulosis, well differentiated neuroendocrine tumour or well differentiated invasive breast cancer of no special type (NST). Neoplasm may be appropriately ascertained by mammography or ultrasonography of the breast. Cribriform carcinoma breast may be appropriately alleviated by primary surgical eradication of the lesion.

Increasing demand for oil as a fuel and declining production in refineries led to a nationwide fuel oil shortage. Hence compelling academics to develop answers, renewable energy is one of the proposed options. Compression ignition machines utilize renewable fuels such as biodiesel, crude palm oil (CPO), and hydrogen gas. Using biodiesel without modifying the engine can result in decreased thermal efficiency and increased smoke emissions. The addition of modest volumes of hydrogen gas can enhance the performance of diesel engines. The purpose of this investigation is to investigate the performance and emissions of diesel dual-fuel engines. In this investigation, a one-cylinder diesel engine with direct injection was operated at a constant 2000rpm with a 50 percent load. Flow variations of 2.5, 5, 7.5, and 10 liters per minute of hydrogen. Compared to biodiesel fuel, the results of this study indicate that a 10LPM hydrogen flow can boost thermal efficiency by 29.85% and a 7.5LPM hydrogen flow can increase power by 0.78 %. Moreover, the use of hydrogen gas reduces exhaust pollutants. Reduced HC, CO, and CO2 emissions by 26ppm, 0.01%, and 2.60%, respectively, for a 10LPM hydrogen flow.

This research aimed to investigate the effect of adding lokan clam shell powder on the physical properties of polylactic acid (PLA) biocomposites. The research materials consisted of lokan clam shells obtained from the fish auction place in Pulau Baai of Bengkulu City, PLA in filament form, and chloroform. Lokan clam shells were washed with clean water, dried for 12 hours and heated at 900oC for 6 hours. The powder obtained was filtered using a 100 mesh sieve. The PLA dissolution process used chloroform for 2 hours in a closed process with a ratio of 1 g PLA to 5 ml chloroform. After that, added lokan clam shell powder and stirred for 15 minutes using a hotplate at room temperature. The biocomposite manufacturing process used a molding technique with variations in the volume fraction of lokan clam shell powder of 10%, 30% and 50%. The physical properties test includes the density test using the ASTM standard of D1622 and the water absorption test using the ASTM standard of D 570. The results of the physical properties research show that the addition of 10% lokan shell powder to the PLA biocomposite is able to reduce the density and increase the maximum water absorption by 0 .89 g/cm3 and 5.91% respectively.

Published: July 2024

Efisiensi turbin merupakan sebuah parameter dari derajat keberhasilan system turbin untuk mendekati proses ideal dengan satuan persen (%). Efisiensi turbin diketahui dengan membandingkan kerja ideal turbin dengan kerja aktual turbin. Laju massa uap adalah jumlah uap yang mengalir ke turbin uap dalam satuan waktu. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh laju massa uap terhadap  nilai efisiensi turbin uap. Penelitian dilaksanakan pada 3 oktober-16 oktober 2023 di pabrik kelapa sawit kapasitas 50 ton/jam. Adapun metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini yaitu menggunakan metode Deskriptif Kuantitatif berdasarkan data primer pada turbin uap. Rata-rata laju massa uap yang terjadi pada 3 oktober-16 oktober 2023 yaitu 6,70 kg/s atau 24,12 ton/jam. Sedangkan rata-rata efisiensi kerja turbin uap pada periode yang sama 32,69 %. Nilai efisiensi kerja turbin uap tertinggi yang tercapai pada 3 oktober-16 oktober 2023 di pabrik kelapa sawit Kapasitas 50 Ton/Jam yaitu 37,365% dengan laju massa uap 6,38 kg/s. Dari penelitian ini dapat diketahui bahwasanya laju massa uap berpengaruh signifikan terhadap efisiensi kerja turbin uap, dapat dilihat dari koefisien persamaan regresi yang negatif, yang berarti semakin besar laju massa uap, nilai efisiensi turbin uap juga akan menurun, begitu pula sebaliknya.
Body heigth prediction model from foot measurement in a Chilean population of university student athletes
Authors: Sánchez-Ramírez Celso
Published: July 2024

In forensic research, it is important to identify human remains. Body height is an essential aspect in anthropometric characterization. This is the first study in a Chilean population and aimed to develop a height estimation model for a young adult population of athletes from foot measurements. Central Chilean subjects were included (n=139). Height (H), Foot Length (FL), Foot Breadth (FB), and Heel Foot Breadth (HFB) were measured. For both sex and feet, FL was the most correlated with H (Females r > .8, p < .001; Males r > .7, p < .001). When only FL is used in the equation, similar values are obtained as when using FL + FB + HFB in females (R2 > 65%) and males (R2 > 51%). It was possible to appreciate that the mean of the data obtained from the equations is equal to the mean of the actual data. However, the minimum values tend to be overestimated, and the maximum values tend to be underestimated. It was possible to develop a mathematical model that allows predicting height from the anthropometric measurements of the feet of young adult athletes from the Metropolitan Region of Chile. Furthermore, it was shown that foot length was the measurement most correlated with height and can be used independently in the equations. This study provides valuable information in the forensic medical field, specifically in the identification of bodies in which it is impossible to determine the height directly because they are dismembered or incomplete.
Examination of emergency assembly areas based on planning criteria after the two major earthquakes on 6 February, 2023: A case study from Turkey
Authors: Bektaş Yasin , Doğan Gamze
Published: July 2024

This study aimed to examine the compliance of post-disaster emergency assembly areas with their planning criteria in the Battalgazi district of Malatya province. This district is one of the settlements that was most affected by the two big earthquakes that occurred in Türkiye on 6 February 2023. The emergency assembly areas were evaluated qualitatively based on the criterion of “appropriateness”, with the sub-variables of “usability”, “accessibility”, and “safety”. They were also evaluated quantitatively based on the criterion of “adequacy” with the sub-variable “per capita m2”. There are a total of 103 neighborhoods in the district. However, there are only eight emergency assembly areas in total within its boundaries. According to the results of this study, only 7.5% of the current population of the district resides within 500 m of the emergency assembly areas. The fact that four emergency assembly areas (Hürriyet Park, Şehit Kemal Özalper High School, the Community Garden, Battalgazi Municipality) are situated next to each other and there are emergency assembly areas in only six of the 103 neighborhoods within the municipal boundaries shows that were significant problems in the decisions made regarding their locations. In addition, it was determined that there were disadvantages in terms of accessibility and usability within the criterion of appropriateness, while there were some positive aspects in terms of safety. When examined with regard to the criterion of adequacy, it was determined that the emergency assembly areas at Mişmiş Park, the Community Garden, Battalgazi Municipality, and Şehit Kemal Özalper High School were most adequate, while the emergency assembly areas at Hürriyet Park, Fırat Neighborhood Mukhtar, Nevzat Er Park, and 100 Yıl İmam Hatip Secondary School were least adequate.
