Authors: Sepúlveda Concha Cristina , López López Camila , Lozano Ortiz Patricia , Acevedo Ayala Jhonny , Buccioni Badulli Rolly
Published: December 2024

Introducción: Chile enfrenta el desafío de abordar el envejecimiento poblacional de manera integral, lo que incluye la sexualidad de las personas mayores. Objetivo: explorar aspectos de la sexualidad de Personas Mayores de grupos comunitarios de las regiones Metropolitana y de O’Higgins, que permitan conocer aspectos biosociodemográficos relacionados con esta.  Métodos: estudio descriptivo y cuantitativo, en el cual se entrevistó a personas mayores que participan en grupos comunitarios. Se utilizó una muestra intencionada no probabilística de tipo "bola de nieve", donde los sujetos reclutados identificaban a otros posibles participantes. La muestra se completó con 116 participantes. Se aplicó una encuesta de elaboración propia de los autores, con foco en datos generales, determinantes sociales y de la encuesta nacional aplicada en personas mayores. Se utilizaron técnicas de asociación de variables y de significación estadística. Resultados: la edad de los entrevistados fluctuó entre 60 y 79 años, con predominio femenino (77,5%) y afiliación al Fondo Nacional de Salud (94,9%). La importancia atribuida a la sexualidad no varía de manera significativa con el nivel educativo. En general, la hipertensión arterial afecta en forma negativa la actividad sexual, en especial a mujeres. El 48,3% mantiene actividad sexual, pero la mayoría no recibe educación sexual ni usa métodos de barrera para las Infecciones de Transmisión Sexual. Conclusión: el envejecimiento poblacional ha impulsado políticas centradas en lo cognitivo y funcional, pero la sexualidad sigue desatendida. Su inclusión en programas de salud es clave para mejorar la calidad de vida geriátrica, lo que debe incluir capacitación del personal sanitario en la materia.

Sikap “Silence” Terhadap Niat Melakukan Whistleblowing
Authors: Dewi Ayu Aryista , Anggara I Wayan Gde Wahyu Purna
Published: December 2024

This study aims to examine the influence of silence, subjective norms, and personal reporting costs on whistleblowing intentions, as well as the perception of organizational support as a moderating variable. The research used a survey method by distributing questionnaires to 120 accounting students as a surrogate of future accountant. The results showed that the lower the silence and the cost of personal reporting, the more the accountant's intention to report fraud. Meanwhile, subjective norms have no effect on the accountant's intention to report fraud. The study also found that the perception of organizational support strengthened the influence of silence and subjective norms on whistleblowing intentions, but failed to moderate the relationship between personal reporting costs and whistleblowing. The results have implications for organizations and policymakers in designing a reporting system that can motivate accountants in reporting fraud.

Published: December 2024

The presence of cockroach and rat vectors on ships is an indication of the crew's lack of attention to ship health efforts. The purpose of this study was to analyze the difference between the skipper's leadership type and the level of ship health risk in Tanjung Perak Port, Surabaya, East Java. The research design was a cross-sectional survey with an observation approach. The population was all crew members of 1,164 domestic ship arrivals at Tanjung Perak Port Surabaya-East Java in March 2023 totaling 23,073 crew members. The sample size of 298 respondents was taken with Simple Random Sampling. The instruments used were a questionnaire sheet about the skipper's leadership a supervision checklist sheet for vector inspection and BPP about the level of ship health risk. Analysis with Fisher's Exact Test. The results showed that the skipper's leadership type was mostly democratic, namely 223 people or 74.8%. The level of ship health risk is almost absent of public health risk factors, namely 280 ships or 94.0%. Fisher's Exact Test showed p=0.000<0.05. The conclusion is that there is a difference between the skipper's leadership type and the level of ship health risk. The interests of the crew by trying to create a more open relationship can increase and maximise the implementation of ship sanitation. Further research by examining other factors related to the level of ship health risks that have not been studied in this study accompanied by in-depth interviews with all crew members so that the research results are more objective.

Authors: Silva Emerson Pereira da , Santos-Junior Luiz Carlos dos , Pereira Zefa Valdivina
Published: December 2024

The seed bank, considered a regulatory ecosystem service, has the potential to restore degraded areas, without the need for human intervention. However, this environmental service has been impaired by anthropogenic activities, including in permanent preservation areas (PPAs). This study investigated the impacts of the surrounding area on the environmental service of the seed bank in the Apa River headwaters PPA, in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil. A total of 120 soil samples were collected, 60 each from the PPA and the adjacent area. The samples were cultivated in a greenhouse for three months, followed by analysis. Identification was made of 1,055 seedlings, comprising 19 families and 48 species (33 in the PPA, and 35 in the adjacent area). Of these, grasses accounted for 78%, highlighting Cyperaceae, with 391 individuals (37%), Poaceae, with 334 individuals (33%), and Asteraceae, with 82 individuals (8%). Six tree species were found, representing 12% of the species richness. With 60 samples from each location, the rarefaction curves did not indicate stability of species richness in the sampled areas. The bootstrap richness estimator provided values of 37.95 ± 2.33 for the PPA and 44 ± 2.75 for the area outside the PPA. Hence, the seed banks in the preservation area and the adjacent pasture area were floristically similar, revealing a high degree of disturbance and a compromised seed bank regulatory ecosystem service.

Published: December 2024

The main objective of this study was to obtain information on the trunk shape and volumetry of the Araucaria angustifolia species in mature and secondary fragments, using non-destructive approaches in Mixed Ombrophilous Forest areas with different degrees of human intervention. The rigorous cubage was measured on 30 trees in each area using the Criterion RD 1000. The results revealed an form factor of 0.61 and 0.62 for the species in mature and secondary forests, respectively. The Spurr model obtained the best fit in both areas among the 4 fitted volumetric models, with errors of 18.7% and 22.2% in sequence. It was observed that growth for the longitudinal profile was more homogeneous in mature areas than in secondary areas. The Kozak tapering function produced satisfactory results for estimating the diameter, but not for determining the volume, requiring a larger sample. These results highlighted the dendrometric and morphological differences of the species in areas with different anthropization levels and recovery times, highlighting the importance of understanding these variations in forest surveys.

Published: December 2024

My analysis of Graça Morais’ works examines the interconnection of realms: human, animal, vegetal, and mineral, within their environment, focusing on the theme of sacrifice. A pictorial analysis will help understand the various dimensions of this coexistence between humans and both wild and domestic animals. Through mutant and totemic figures, she explores the deep connections between humans and nature. Animality becomes a mirror of the human soul, transcending the boundaries of reality. Are these mutants or totemic beings? Animality represents a figure of otherness, a transhumanist project.

Authors: Yalçin Ali Can , Danışman Çağrı , İslamoğlu Necat
Published: December 2024

Background/Aims: To assess the effectiveness and safety of a modified Seldinger technique (MST), bypassing consecutive dilatation steps, versus the conventional Seldinger technique (CST) in percutaneous cholecystectomy (PC).
Methods: We performed a retrospective observational cohort analysis utilizing a de-identified dataset covering a period of 2 years (2021-2023) in a significant tertiary-level healthcare facility in Turkey.
Results: 152 individuals underwent successful PC. No significant differences were found regarding demographic, clinical, or laboratory characteristics between the CST and MST groups, indicating comparable patient profiles. The clinical efficacy rates were comparable between the two trial cohorts (85% in the CST versus 88.5 in the MST group; p = 0.547). The MST group had significantly shorter procedural time compared to the CST (4.24 ± 1.52 vs 2.85 ± 1.31, p=0.001). Safety profiles were similar between groups (p = 0.486), with minor bleeding resolving spontaneously in one patient per group and no major complications observed. Pain during the CST procedure was significantly higher than in the MST group, though this difference did not persist at the 12-hour follow-up (p = 0.01and 0.6, retrospectively).
Conclusion: The utilization of the MST technique for PC demonstrated comparable efficacy and safety to the CST. However, MST was found to be associated with a lower incidence of complications related to the procedure, and required less time to perform, when compared to the CST.

Authors: Balki Tekin Selin , İnci Kenar Ayşe Nur , Tecim Gökçedağ Ayşenur
Published: December 2024

ABSTRACT

Background/Aims: The relationship between vitamin D and schizophrenia has been the focus of studies in the last 20 years. Studies have shown that approximately 65% of schizophrenia patients have vitamin D deficiency. This study aimed to retrospectively investigate the vitamin D levels of schizophrenia and schizoaffective disorder (SAD) patients receiving inpatient treatment at a tertiary care hospital.

Material and Methods: Patients diagnosed with Schizophrenia and SAD who received inpatient treatment at the psychosis service of a tertiary care hospital in the last two years (2021-2023) were included in this study. The data of 230 patients were examined retrospectively from hospital and file records.

Results: Among the patients in the study, 47.8% were female with a mean age of 42.3±15.8 years, and 52.2% were male with a mean age of 37.2±14.1 years. Among women, 24.5% had SAD and 75.5% had schizophrenia, among men, 30.8% had SAD and 69.2% had schizophrenia. Vitamin D deficiency was found in 73% of the group, vitamin D insufficiency was found in 17.4%, and normal vitamin D levels were found in 9.6%. No statistically significant relationship was found when vitamin D levels were compared between male and female patient groups (p = 0.068). When vitamin D levels were compared between patient groups diagnosed with schizophrenia and SAD, no statistically significant relationship was found. (p>0.05)

Conclusion:
Despite advances in the treatment of schizophrenia, these advances are insufficient to reduce the morbidity and mortality of the disease, so prophylactic measures should be explored. Adequate D vitamin supplementation during critical stages of life, including pregnancy, may be a meaningful, simple, safe, and cost-effective intervention.

Published: December 2024

Background: Trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO), a gut microbiota metabolite is produced in the liver from dietary precursors such as choline, betaine, and L-carnitine. TMAO has been linked to inflammatory processes and oxidative stress, both of which are critical factors in the progression of hepatitis. This article aims to examine the impact of TMAO on Chronic hepatitis B (CHB).
Materials and Methods: The study included 41 treatment-naïve CHB patients with HBV DNA levels above 2000 IU/mL, as well as 46 age and gender-matched controls. Serum TMAO levels were measured using Liquid Chromatography-Tandem Mass Spectrometry (LC/MS/MS). All statistical analysis was performed with R version 4.2.1.
Results: Patients with CHB have a more significant increase in serum level of TMAO than healthy controls (1860 [IQR, 808 – 2720] vs. 552.5 [IQR, 252 – 876.5], p<0.001). Serum ALT and AST were higher in patients with CHB (p<0.001 and p<0.001). TMAO levels were positively correlated with ALT and AST levels (r=0.466, p<0.001; r=0.376, p<0.001) and had predictive power for CHB with an area under curve of 0.808.
Conclusions: Our results indicate that there is a link between TMAO, a gut microbiota-dependent metabolite, and CHB disease. Since TMAO is synthesized mainly in the liver, its raised levels may be associated with liver-related diseases.

Due to improvements in PV technology, electrical distribution networks are increasingly integrating PV-based distributed generation (PVDG) systems to reduce reliance on a single power source and the greenhouse gas emissions produced by conventional power plants. However, reverse power flow created by high power output from intermittent PVDG can increase system power losses and distort the voltage profile. Proper positioning and size are required to inject a PVDG during peak hours. The principal contribution of this paper is the application of a new efficient and reliable algorithm known as the equilibrium optimizer algorithm (EOA) to solve the optimal allocation of multiple PVDG units in hybrid medium-voltage AC-DC distribution networks. Comparing the EOA technique to the light spectrum optimizer (LSO), the energy valley optimizer (EVO), and the Archimedes optimization algorithm (AOA), the convergence characteristics and results show that the EOA approach was the quickest and best strategy to obtain the best solutions. The results from the simulation demonstrate that higher performance in terms of reducing power loss and improving voltage profile can be obtained by achieving the ideal size and positioning of the PVDG sources via an optimum energy management strategy.
Analyses of the trimmed-mean switching CFAR detector in non-homogenous gaussian clutter
Authors: Tabet Leila
Published: December 2024

The Switching Constant False Alarm Rate (S-CFAR) processor takes into account the statistics of the sample in the test cell for reference sample selection. This processor, which is based on two Cell-Averaging (CA-) CFAR detectors, is robust in homogenous and non-homogenous Gaussian clutter. However, it suffers from a considerable CFAR loss, when the number of interferences exceeds certain value. In the other hand, it is known that the Trimmed-Mean (TM-) CFAR detector improves the detection performances in non-homogeneous clutter because it allows the censer of the unwanted cells from both lower and upper ends after ordering them in ascending order. To overcome the previous problem, in this paper, we propose an improved version of the S-CFAR processor based on both S-CFAR and TM-CFAR detectors, namely, the Trimmed-Mean Switching (TMS-) CFAR processor. The proposed detector shows the better performance in homogenous and non homogenous environment especially in the case of both the clutter edge case and the interfering targets exist.

Atualmente nas faculdades públicas e até particulares dificulta-se a aquisição de instrumentação real para a realização de práticas laboratoriais presenciais, devido à não existência de suficientes recursos econômicos e por causa do alto custo que os equipamentos e componentes modernos possuem no mercado.  No presente trabalho os autores apresentam o desenvolvimento de uma biblioteca virtual utilizando as ferramentas do programa MATLAB®, facilitando assim a interação com o aluno, que por meio da modelagem e simulação de sistemas realizam análises de comportamentos dinâmicos,  ajustes e determinação de parâmetros em forma de aulas práticas de laboratório, utilizando diferentes conteúdo da teoria de controle, entregando assim uma solução viável perante a ausência ou dificuldades na execução de práticas laboratoriais presenciais, além de constituir uma ferramenta virtual de interação e aprendizagem que permite a aquisição de experiências, habilidades e conhecimentos práticos em disciplinas que tem conteúdos laboratoriais na grade curricular dos curso de Engenharia Elétrica e Engenharia Eletrônica, como por exemplo tem-se na realização de práticas de laboratórios na disciplina de Sistemas de Controle, a qual é o exemplo analisado no presente artigo. Neste contexto, o resultado obtido representa um aporte onde podem-se aplicar metodologias ativas de ensino e serve na integração de conhecimentos teóricos e práticos, assim como ajuda a quebrar as barreiras que o ensino à distância pode criar na realização das práticas laboratoriais.
Positioning Security Cameras in The Central Transportation Networks of Barcelona With Minimum Cost via The Malatya Minimum Vertex Cover Algorithm

Published: December 2024

The Minimum Vertex Cover issue (MVCP) is a significant NP-complete optimization issue in graph theory. Its objective is to find a set of nodes that covers all edges of a given graph and contains the minimum number of nodes. Many different approaches and algorithms have been tried for this issue. Nevertheless, as the MVCP problem is an optimization problem, solutions are usually non-heuristic and only work under certain constraints Moreover, the proposed methods do not achieve the expected effect and the solution sets may change with each iteration. Having a minimum number of nodes in a network with a minimum coverage area improves network efficiency, reduces energy consumption, and allows for more efficient resource utilization. This study aims to control all streets in a popular neighborhood in Barcelona with a minimum number of security cameras. The Malatya Vertex Cover method is used to locate the optimal number of security cameras around the area. For modeling, the area is transformed into a graph using Google Earth. Each intersection represents a node. The graph was modeled using R programming language. Then, with the Malatya Vertex Cover algorithm, the Malatya centrality values of the nodes of the graph will be calculated. This centrality value is obtained from the sum of the ratio of the degree of each node to the degree of its neighbors. For the MVCP solution, the node of the graph with the highest Malatya centrality value is selected and added to the solution set. Then, this node and its edge links are removed from the graph. When the edges are completely covered, the process is terminated. As a result of this analysis, a low-cost solution is achieved by using the minimum number of security cameras to cover the entire region.

Published: December 2024

To effectively extract information features of runoff time series and improve the accuracy of river runoff prediction methods. we integrated Autoformer with Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) to develop an Autoformer-LSTM runoff prediction model. We simulated and validated the model using daily runoff, precipitation, and average water level data from January 1, 2002, to December 31, 2022, at Huayuankou Hydrological Station, a key station in the lower Yellow River Basin. And select Autoformer model, Transformer model, and Informer model for comparative prediction experiments. The results show that the Autoformer-LSTM and Autoformer models outperformed the Transformer and Informer models in predictive accuracy. Furthermore, compared to the Autoformer model, the Autoformer-LSTM model reduced Mean Absolute Error (MAE), Mean Squared Error (MSE), and Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE) by 13.1%, 78.7%, and 53.9%. This prediction method can fully explore the inherent laws of hydrological time series data, effectively utilize the temporal nature of hydrological information, and improve prediction accuracy.

Optimization and Application of Busemann Biplane and Its Variants in Supersonic Flight
Authors: Zhang Shuyuan
Published: December 2024

The Busemann biplane is designed to reduce shock wave drag in supersonic flight. With advances in aerospace technology and increasing flight speeds, the potential applications of the Busemann biplane in hypersonic aircraft design have sparked widespread discussion. This paper investigates the aerodynamic characteristics of the Busemann biplane and its variants in supersonic and hypersonic flight, with a focus on the effects of adjusting geometric parameters and relative positioning between the wings on aerodynamic performance. The study demonstrates that the Busemann biplane can effectively reduce drag and improve the lift-to-drag ratio by eliminating shock waves. However, at an angle of attack of 0°, the lift coefficient of the Busemann biplane approaches zero, which poses certain limitations for practical applications. Through experiments analyzing different biplane configurations, it is concluded that increasing the staggered arrangement between the wings further reduces drag and improves the lift-to-drag ratio. This paper highlights the potential of the Busemann biplane in future aircraft design and suggests further optimization of its aerodynamic design to enhance actual flight performance.
Oltre l'involucro del racconto: Angelica in fuga e Angelica in cammino nell'"Orlando furioso"
Authors: Catelli Nicola
Published: December 2024

Tradizionalmente interpretata come donna volubile e perennemente in fuga, come metafora dell’irraggiungibilità dei desideri e come ingranaggio narrativo che viene disattivato una volta esaurita la sua funzione di innesco della follia di Orlando e degli altri cavalieri, la figura di Angelica si presenta, nell’Orlando furioso, anche come personaggio dotato fin da subito di una specifica dimensione desiderante. Il saggio prende dunque in considerazione il doppio statuto di Angelica, al contempo donna-oggetto esposta alla concupiscenza dei cavalieri, gradualmente privata della possibilità di muoversi, di celare il proprio corpo e di decidere in modo autonomo, e individuo che già dall’esordio del poema è titolare, al pari degli altri personaggi, di una propria inchiesta, per quanto paradossale: uscire dal poema, e sottrarsi così a un universo narrativo che la condanna, appunto, al ruolo di preda e di ricompensa. Il saggio considera inoltre la possibile ricezione di questa “doppia Angelica”, allo stesso tempo oggetto e soggetto di desiderio, nelle illustrazioni delle edizioni cinquecentesche del poema.
