Khotanese ph‑ < Iranian *θu̯‑
Authors: Maggi Mauro
Published: November 2024

Late Khotanese phyaṣṭa‑ ‘shining, brilliant’ is from older *phiṣṭa‑, past participle of the inchoative *phīs‑ ‘to move; to shine’ from the polysemic Indo-Iranian root *tu̯ai̯š‑ ‘to be excited, be in motion, glow’ (Indo-European *tu̯ei̯s‑, Skt. tveṣ‑, Iranian *θu̯ai̯š‑). The Iranian cluster *θu̯ > *fu̯ resulted in Khotanese ph‑ initially and ‑hbetween vowels similarly to Iranian *f but with velarizing effects due to *u̯ before its disappearance. *θu̯‑ > ph‑ is observed in eight words with so far uncertain etymology, all derived from *phīs‑. Scrutiny of the occurrences of the derivatives and reinterpretation of some of them confirm the continuation of the two senses of Indo- Iranian *tu̯ai̯š‑ in Khotanese *phīs‑. Khotanese is thus the only Iranian language to continue Indo-Iranian *tu̯ai̯š‑ also in verbal formations: phyaṣṭa‑ ‘shining, brilliant’; śśī-phīsa‑ ‘whitish’ ← ‘approaching white’ or ‘having the brightness of white’; phīsūna‑ ‘(symbolic hand) movement, gesture’; usphīs‑ ‘to emerge; to shine forth’ (with us‑ ‘up, out’); *usphīsa‑ ‘upward movement’ in usphīsaroña‑ ‘arrogance’; iterative phīś‑ ‘to escape from, avoid’; iterative naṣphīś‑ ‘to depart from’; and causative haṃphīś‑ ‘to combine’ ← ‘to cause to go together’ (in addition to pūheiʾta‑ ‘slim, slender’ < *pati-θu̯ai̯š-a‑).

Neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy in patients with esophageal- and gastroesophageal junction cancer induces tumor regression. In approximately one fourth of patients, this leads to a pathological complete response in the resection specimen. Hence, active surveillance may be an alternative strategy in patients without residual disease after neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy. Previous studies have shown that the combination of esophagogastroduodenoscopy with bite-on-bite biopsies, endoscopic ultrasound with fine needle aspiration of suspected lymph nodes, and a PET-CT-scan can be considered adequate for the detection of residual disease. So far, it has been unclear whether active surveillance with surgery as needed is a safe treatment option and leads to non-inferior overall survival compared to standard esophagectomy after neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy. This review will discuss the current status of active surveillance for esophageal and junctional cancer.
Weights for 𝜋-partial characters of 𝜋-separable groups
Authors: Chang Xuewu , Jin Ping
Published: November 2024

The aim of this paper is to confirm a conjecture of Isaacs and Navarro from 1995, which asserts that, for any

π
′

\pi^{\prime}

-subgroup 𝑄 of a 𝜋-separable group 𝐺, the number of

π
′

\pi^{\prime}

-weights of 𝐺 with 𝑄 as the first component is larger than or equal to the number of irreducible 𝜋-partial characters of 𝐺 with 𝑄 as their vertex.
We also give a sufficient condition to guarantee that these two numbers are equal, and thereby strengthen their main theorem on the 𝜋-version of the Alperin weight conjecture.

Unendliche Natur
Authors: Riedl Peter Philipp
Published: November 2024

Albrecht von Haller’s ≫Unvollkommenes Gedicht uber die Ewigkeit≪ (1737/42-1748) reflects the reciprocal relationship among empirical observation of the world, imagination and human self-determination. In Haller’s poem, the grief over the death of a friendn triggers religious and secular reflections on finiteness and eternity. Faced with the knowledge of the infinity of time and space in the Copernican universe, the imagination is plunged into a crisis that leaves the speaking and reflecting ego struggling for words. The linguistic search is an open process and the poem remains unfinished - a fragment due to the subject matter. The paper analyzes the poetic process of this crisis and illustrates how the experience of the sublime, evoked by the amazement at the multiplicity of worlds, is mixed with a melancholy fear of one’s own forlornness and placelessness in the face of cosmic infinity.

Published: November 2024

Aim: To explore the differences in acute phase responses between infection and disease flare and between viral and bacterial infections.
 
Methods: The retro-prospective, cross-sectional, multi-center study considered subjects who had undergone treatment for infection or disease flare between 2019 to 2021. The patients fulfilling the ACR/EULAR 2010 criteria and 2019 EULAR/ACR criteria for RA and SLE respectively, were recruited from three centers. Patients who did not have autoimmune rheumatic disease or other immune-mediated diseases were considered as controls. The participants were classified into subgroups namely ‘overall’, ‘without autoimmune rheumatic disease’, ‘SLE’ and ‘RA’. The infectious and non-infectious groups, and the bacterial and viral disease groups were compared to evaluate the differences in the parameters namely age, gender, total leucocyte count (TLC), neutrophil count(N), lymphocytes count (L) NLR, CRP and procalcitonin. Student t-test was used for the evaluation of continuous data and chi-square test for categorical data. ROC curves were plotted. The cutoff points of variable at 80% and 90% sensitivity and specificity were estimated for each subgroup to differentiate infection and no-infection.
Indo-Pacífico una narrativa dominante desde Occidente frente al posicionamiento chino: Relaciones Internacionales desde el enfoque decolonial
Authors: León de la Rosa Raquel Isamara , Pérez Díaz Marisol
Published: November 2024

La segunda década del siglo XXI marca un momento importante en Asia Pacífico, pues la República Popular China se comenzó a posicionar en la región a partir de iniciativas institucionales. Al mismo tiempo, esto evidenció el espacio de poder que Estados Unidos dejó en Asia Pacífico tras la reconfiguración del sistema internacional después de la Guerra Fría. Ante el posicionamiento chino, Estados Unidos ha buscado reafirmase en la región, entre otros, insertando el concepto de Indo-Pacífico. Bajo este contexto, esta investigación tiene como objetivo revisar el concepto de Indo-Pacífico como una narrativa dominante desde Occidente, que surge en oposición al posicionamiento chino. Para lograr esto, se utiliza el enfoque decolonial en las Relaciones Internacionales, mismo que hace una crítica al eurocentrismo en la disciplina, impactando en la manera en cómo se estudian los fenómenos internacionales. La primera parte del texto se enfoca en rescatar las críticas a las Relaciones Internacionales, desde la decolonialidad. En este sentido, se retoma el término de colonialidad y las tres dimensiones que lo componen: colonialidad del poder, colonialidad del saber y colonialidad del ser. El segundo apartado describe la narrativa del Indo-Pacífico y la búsqueda de interacciones en la región por parte de Estados Unidos para legitimar tanto la propuesta como las estrategias de seguridad que derivan de esta, con la finalidad de limitar el posicionamiento chino. Esto a través de reafirmar alianzas con actores como: India, Australia y Japón. La tercera parte retoma el posicionamiento chino a través de la Comunidad de Destino Compartido y la Iniciativa de la Franja y la Ruta y se contrastan con el Indo-Pacífico a través de la colonialidad y sus dimensiones. Esto da paso a las conclusiones y algunas reflexiones finales.
Japón en el Indo-Pacífico: un actor central en su construcción geoestratégica en el entorno de Asia-Pacífico
Authors: Parra María Nohelia
Published: November 2024

El Indo-Pacífico ha evolucionado hasta convertirse en una estrategia indispensable para el bloque liberal-democrático de los países que circundan ambos océanos. Este artículo propone revisar aspectos fundamentales que permitan comprender el rol de Japón en el desarrollo del Indo-Pacífico como proyecto geoestratégico en el contexto de Asia-Pacífico. El primer aspecto analiza la evolución histórica del Indo-Pacífico desde que fue propuesto en 2007 por India y Japón como un diálogo de cooperación que permitiera la libre navegación en ambos océanos, hasta convertirse en una estrategia institucionalizada en documentos de política exterior de países con poder alto y medio en esta región. También se han revisado diferentes definiciones del Indo-Pacífico propuestas por distintos expertos en el área, que han discutido y razonado sobre las características, principios y valores comunes que sirven para reflexionar de manera más amplia sobre el alcance y los objetivos fundamentales del concepto. El segundo elemento abre el debate sobre el rol de Japón en el Indo-Pacífico, al centrarse en el estudio del entorno de seguridad inmediato a Japón y cómo este ha impactado su postura de seguridad y las determinaciones de su agenda del “Indo-Pacífico Libre y Abierto” o FOIP. De igual forma, se analiza el carácter defensivo de la FOIP a través de las premisas centrales del realismo defensivo, que sirven para entender las motivaciones y metas estratégicas de Japón dirigidas a la consolidación de una región geoestratégica que permita establecer un entorno de confianza y cooperación minilateral y multilateral.
La sección principal del artículo analiza el tercer elemento propuesto, cuyo objetivo es comprender el rol que Japón ha tenido en los mecanismos políticos establecidos para el Indo-Pacífico por naciones que pertenecen a Asia-Pacífico, entre ellas Australia, Corea del Sur y algunos miembros de la ASEAN; estos tres actores, por su ubicación geográfica y valor político agregado, resultan indispensables para la construcción de un concepto sólido y perdurable. Se han revisado los mecanismos de cooperación, principalmente en materia de seguridad, en los que Japón ha participado con todos ellos; lo que ha permitido alcanzar conclusiones sobre cuál es la influencia que el país ha tenido en el establecimiento de documentos estratégicos dirigidos al Indo-Pacífico, sus particularidades y hasta dónde los diálogos de cooperación establecidos pueden contribuir a la construcción de un nuevo orden regional que pueda institucionalizarse de manera sólida y perdurable. Al final, se han propuesto algunas reflexiones sobre cuáles deberían ser los movimientos políticos futuros de Japón y qué desafíos podría enfrentar para fortalecer al Indo-Pacífico en una región dividida ideológicamente y supeditada a un delicado equilibrio de poder, impuesto por el revisionismo y expansionismo de sus vecinos próximos.
Educational Metaphor in the Polish press: a perspective on presenting the political situation in Poland at the beginning of the Russia–Ukraine war
Authors: Adamczuk Joanna
Published: November 2024

The following paper investigates the topic of educational metaphors about the Russia–Ukraine War in Polish press articles. Educational metaphor relates to the use of concepts connected with schooling or teaching in order to describe other concepts. The research material is composed of texts published after 24 February 2022 in the following newspapers: Do Rzeczy, Gazeta Polska, Polityka, and Krytyka Polityczna. This article aims to present one of the metaphorical mappings together with its critical analysis with the use of the conceptual metaphor theory (Лакофф, Джонсон 2004) and critical metaphor analysis (Charteris-Black 2004). According to the research, the trichotomy which includes the Polish Government, the opposition parties, and the Polish society may be distinguished in the Polish press. Amidst these oppositions, the metaphorical mapping is discerned, according to which the war is understood as the teacher, the politicians and society as the students, and the help offered to Ukraine is interpreted as the examination. Assessment of the actions undertaken by the Government, the opposition parties and the society has been the subject of the ideological and political profile of a particular magazine.

Authors: Skomorovskiy Grigory
Published: November 2024

The article explores the possibility of applying the object-oriented paradigm (a term sourced from computer science) to formalize various implementations of characters in fictional universes. Examples are provided based on the implementations of the character of Nekhlyudov from Tolstoy’s novel Resurrection. Possible applications of the discussed approach are examined for analyzing the relationships between different implementations of the same character, as well as for generating new characters based on the individual preferences of the reader (or viewer, user).
PIAFI: Fortalecendo a saúde por meio da atividade física – uma iniciativa estratégica para populações envelhecidas
Authors: Printes Clarissa Biehl
Published: November 2024

O envelhecimento populacional avança rapidamente no Brasil, com o censo de 2022 mostrando um crescimento significativo da população idosa, especialmente entre aqueles com mais de 65 anos, cuja proporção aumentou 57,4% nos últimos 12 anos. Atualmente, pessoas com 60 anos ou mais representam 15,8% da população, destacando a urgência de políticas públicas eficazes para atender às necessidades dessa crescente faixa etária. A promoção da atividade física é uma estratégia fundamental para melhorar a qualidade de vida, promover a autonomia, prevenir quedas e reduzir o isolamento social entre os idosos. Em Porto Alegre, o Programa de Incentivo à Atividade Física para Idosos (PIAFI) surge como uma resposta a esses desafios, inspirado por modelos bem-sucedidos de países como Espanha e Portugal. Implementado com o apoio do Fundo Municipal do Idoso e em parceria com a PUCRS, o PIAFI oferece um plano de ação multicomponente que visa promover um envelhecimento saudável. O programa abrange diversas modalidades físicas e tem como foco atender as necessidades funcionais, mentais e sociais dos idosos. Na sua primeira edição, o PIAFI atendeu 500 idosos, gerando impactos positivos na saúde e na qualidade de vida dos participantes, bem como em suas famílias e na comunidade. Os resultados científicos e observacionais apontam o PIAFI como uma iniciativa eficaz, prática e replicável, que vai além da promoção da saúde física, transformando as condições de vida dos idosos e alinhando-se às diretrizes da OMS para um envelhecimento ativo e saudável.

Published: November 2024

Astaxanthin (ASX) is a powerful antioxidant with high efficacy in inhibiting reactive oxygen species (ROS), one of the most harmful factors leading to hair loss. Our research specifically evaluated the ability of ASX to protect human dermal papillae cells from hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). In this study, the human dermal papillae (hDP) cells were successfully isolated. The cells expressed DP cell markers in the 2D model, including alkaline phosphatase, alpha-smooth muscle actin (98.66 ± 0.02%), and vimentin (98.88 ± 0.02%), cluster aggregation and spheroid formation in the 3D model. The hDP cells (P3-P5) were pretreated with ASX and subsequently treated with H2O2 at a concentration of 550 µM for 4 hours. After 4 days of treatment, the percentage of cells expressing the marker b-galactosidase decreased from 87 ± 0.01% in the control group to 27.61 ± 0.01% in the ASX-treated group (1 µg/mL). Our results indicated that astaxanthin effectively protects against oxidative stress in dermal papillae cells, suggesting its potential application in hair loss treatment due to ROS.
Målstyrning av den svenska skolan – en systematisk översikt
Authors: Jarl Maria , Hultén Magnus , Samuelsson Johan
Published: November 2024

Artikeln är en systematisk översikt med syftet att studera vad som karakteriserar forskningen om målstyrning av svensk skola och vilken kunskap forskningen har genererat. Översikten innehåller litteratur publicerad 2000–2021. Systematiska litteratursökningar har genomförts i internationella (EBSCO, SCOPUS) och svenska databaser (Libris, Swepub, DiVA). Handsökningar har genomförts i ett urval svenska och nordiska tidskrifter inom statsvetenskap, offentlig förvaltning, pedagogik och utbildningsvetenskap. Litteratursökningarna genererade 2556 träffar. Efter granskning på titel- och abstraktsnivå återstod 26 publikationer. Efter granskning baserad på inklusions- och exklusionskriterier, samt kvalitetsgranskningen, kvarstod sju publikationer vilka inkluderades. Centrala resultat är att forskningen är knapphändig, att få studier har förklarande ambitioner med tydlig teoretisk inramning och att det därför finns brister i kunskapen om målstyrningens införande i och betydelse för skolans styrning. I studier med förklarande ansats, inriktad på målstyrning eller utbildningspolitiska reformer där målstyrning ingår, är institutionell teori och läroplansteori dominerande. Empirin består av statliga offentliga utredningar och propositioner från utbildnings- och finansdepartementen. Regeringens officiella syn ges central betydelse för att förklara när och varför målstyrning infördes, vilket tillsammans med begränsade empiriska underlag belyser den officiella bilden snarare än andra perspektiv.
Assessment of waste eggshell powder as a limestone alternative in portland cement
Authors: Chong Beng Wei , Gujar Pratik , Shi Xijun , Suraneni Prannoy
Published: November 2024

The decarbonization of the concrete industry is an ongoing pursuit. One solution towards this goal is the use of limestone powder in portland cement. Waste eggshell has tremendous potential as an alternative calcite filler in cement due to its similarities with limestone. In this research, the feasibility of adding 15% and 35% ground eggshell in portland cement to make cement mortars was investigated. The hydration mechanism of eggshell and limestone blended cements was compared through the heat of hydration, phase assemblage, electrical resistivity, compressive strength, and shrinkage measurements. The experimental results showed that cement mortars with ground eggshell attained similar compressive strength as that with limestone. However, eggshell mixtures demand more mixing water to compensate the hydrophobicity of the eggshell membrane. The high calcite content in both eggshell and limestone accelerates the hydration of cement at 15% replacement, but ground eggshell retards cement hydration at 35% replacement due to the dominant influence of the membrane. Overall, eggshell waste is a feasible sustainable alternative to limestone powder at up to 15% portland cement replacement levels. Lifecycle assessment and cost analysis showed that adding 15% ground eggshell in cement concrete further reduces its embodied carbon and energy and cost compared to cement concrete containing limestone powder.
Durability of non-woven geotextiles produced from recycled polyethylene terephthalate (PET)
Authors: Attarchian N. , Tavakoli Mehrjardi Gh. , Zahaki M. , Yousefi A. A.
Published: November 2024

Achieving the goals of sustainable development and circular economy requires recycling and reusing plastic materials. In this research, the durability of five needle-punched nonwoven geotextiles were experimentally studied. The geotextiles were made of recycled PET (rPET), virgin PET (vPET), and combinations of rPET and vPET fibers. The samples were hydrolyzed for a period of 14, 28, and 56 days and the retained tensile strength and puncture resistance of the samples were determined at the end of each interval. Moreover, this study took the benefits from the capability of differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), Fourier transforms in infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images to interpret the results acquired. Testing on as-received products, it was understood that the recycling process could increase crystallinity of the fibers, increasing the fibers’ fragility, reducing the tensile strength and elongation capacity of rPET fibers. Moreover, considering the borderline value of 50% retained strength, a shorter service life (up to 30%) of rPET products in comparison with vPET products, due to higher degradation rates, was observed.
Re-processing Datawell Directional Waverider MkIII heave data affected by breaking waves
Authors: Dhoop Thomas , Newman Robin , Warwick-Champion Elizabeth , Thompson Charlotte
Published: November 2024

Observations of nearshore waves are essential for coastal management, planning and operations. However, shallow water deployments often encounter breaking waves, causing anomalous measurements that are rejected during quality control. A new methodology for re-processing wave data containing breaking waves has been developed, utilising data from the National Network of Regional Coastal Monitoring Programmes of England, which operates 37 Datawell Directional Waverider MkIII buoys. Heave data affected by breaking waves are reviewed, anomalous heaves removed and the remaining data re-processed. Validation through a two-stage process confirms that re-processed wave parameters closely match those derived from the established Datawell processing and ensures strong agreement between parameters derived from shorter re-processed records and full-length data. Applying this new approach to all measured storm wave data, 7.3% (928.5 h) of storm wave data are recovered across the 37 sites. At some sites, the retention of additional storm wave data has considerable impacts on significant wave height (Hm0) return periods. At five sites, the 1 in 100 year return period increased by over 1 m. The enhanced dataset now includes more individual storm events and more complete records of storm events, providing a more robust foundation for coastal management and planning.

The Role of the Literary Text in the Transmedia Narrative: the Novel ‘Heavenly Stockholm’ in the System of Oleg Nesterov’s Projects
Authors:   Perm State University, Kataev Philip A. , Starikova Elena A. ,   Perm State University
Published: November 2024

Transmedia narrative has been a widely known and used narrative practice since the second decade of the 21st century. Its existence is conditioned by the peculiarities of the multimedia environment and convergence processes. The article is devoted to a comprehensive analysis of two transmedia projects: Heavenly Stockholm and From the Life of the Planets created and produced by Oleg Nesterov. The projects are dedicated to the Soviet era of thaw, in both of them we note reflection on the problem of unrealized future. In total, the projects involve seven media channels. They are positioned by the author as independent, but our analysis has shown that the projects are connected with each other by the commonality of the idea, the author’s tone of expression, and are permeated with mutual allusions. The projects share the same ethics, unfold in the same time period, and their narratives are also connected and complementary. The example of the Heavenly Stockholm project shows in detail how different media participate in the formation of a unified and programmed experience of a transmedia story. Each of the involved media channels, having a high degree of independence, complements and expands the common space of meanings. The article pays special attention to the role of the literary text. The analysis has shown that the novel Heavenly Stockholm is not only a structuring medium for the project of the same name but also contains allusions to another project – From the Life of the Planets. All this allows us to perceive the two seemingly different projects as a single transmedia narrative, which took the author more than ten years to create. The result of the analysis is the construction of a schematic architecture of the project, indicating the logic of movement through various media platforms.

La promoción de la eugenesia en México a inicios del siglo XX
Authors: Hernández Ávila Víctor Octavio
Published: November 2024

inicios del siglo XX, el movimiento eugenésico comenzaba a popularizarse por diversas partes del mundo. México, al igual que diversos países latinoamericanos, consideró correcto el analizar los conocimientos eugenésicos de la época para después aplicarlos en la población del país. Para lograr esto, consideraron que su herramienta principal sería una revista de divulgación científica. Este artículo tiene como objetivo analizar las características principales de la revista Eugenesia y vincularlas con los efectos directos que tuvo en la promoción de la eugenesia en México, entre 1930 y 1945, se utilizó una metodología cualitativa, mediante un análisis del discurso de los textos de la revista Eugenesia. Se concluyó que la eugenesia se promovió fácilmente en México, en gran parte por la lógica racista y jerarquizada que se había establecido en el país en esa época, por otro lado, mantuvo las características generales de la eugenesia en otros lados del mundo, se promovía la información sin sustento científico.
Changing Forms of Ownership in a Democratic Corporatist Media System — How Digitalization Leads to Less Transparency and the Risk of Media Capture
Authors: Blach-Ørsten Mark , Willig Ida , Kæmsgaard Mads , Burkal Rasmus
Published: November 2024

Digitalization has led to a crisis in news media and an upheaval in media ownership. A research concern has been that the motives driving media owners will shift from financial and public service to overtly political and ideological. The term “media capture” has been suggested to describe how various interests may take control over news media outlets. This paper adds to the study of digitalization and media ownership in three ways. First, our analysis is based on new analytical parameters developed as part of the Euromedia Ownership Monitor. Second, we compare types of ownership across legacy news media and digital news media, as each media type runs a different risk regarding capture. Third, we focus on ownership transparency, especially that of beneficial owners. Our case study is Denmark, which is part of the democratic corporatist media system and, based on international ratings, is one of the most democratic and transparent media systems in Europe. We find that private legacy news media is mostly owned by nonprofit foundations, while legacy public service news media is owned by the State or is listed as self-owned. Regarding new digital news media, we find different ownership forms. However, only new digital news media have ownership by a sole proprietor. Regarding transparency, we find the transparency of direct and beneficial owners is more accessible in legacy news media than in new, digital news media. We find no tradition for publishing “natural persons” possible affiliations to either political or other commercial interests. This seems especially relevant, as new digital news media outlets, unlike legacy media, sometimes are owned and funded by private investors, whose main business interests lie outside the news media and whose motives for owning a news media may differ from traditional ownership thus leading to a risk of media capture by ownership.

Published: November 2024

İnsan yaşamında, iletişim kurma ve etkileşim faaliyetlerinin çok büyük bir kısmının ses sayesinde mümkün olduğu bir gerçektir. Ancak sesin olanakları yalnızca bununla sınırlı değildir. Sanat, estetik ve eğitim alanlarında da sesin yeri oldukça büyüktür. Sese eğitim penceresinden bakıldığında temel ögeleri arasında nefes konusu öne çıkmaktadır. Nefes, sesin niteliğini arttıran bir ön koşul olması nedeniyle ses eğitiminde önemli bir yer tutmaktadır. Ses eğitimi alanında nefes kullanımı, yalnızca performans anını değil, performansa doğru giden yoldaki süreci de etkilemektedir. Bu nedenle nefese hazırlık, nefesin alınması, tutulması, verilmesi ve bu doğrultuda kullanılmasının eğitimi, ses eğitimi dersi için gereklidir. Buradan yola çıkarak ses eğitiminde nefes kullanımına ilişkin çalışmalar üzerine bir inceleme gerçekleştirilmiştir. Yapılan incelemeler sonucunda, konu özelinde yapılmış çalışmaların oldukça az olduğu görülmüştür. Bunun yanı sıra incelenen çalışmaların bir çalışma grubu olmaması nedeniyle çalışmalarda kullanılan yöntem, bulgu ve sonuçların büyük oranda benzerlik gösterdiği ortaya çıkmıştır. Betimsel yöntemlere dayalı bir içerik analizi çalışması olan araştırmada, ses eğitiminde nefes kullanımının irdelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Çalışmalardaki bulgular ve sonuçlar analiz edilerek nefes kullanımına yönelik bir değerlendirme yapılmıştır. Bu çalışmanın ses eğitimcilerine ve mesleki müzik eğitimi alanında ses eğitimi dersi alan öğrencilere nefes kullanımı konusunda farkındalık yaratması ve yeni bir bakış açısı sunması arzu edilmektedir.
Association between lactate dehydrogenase and 28-day all-cause mortality in patients with non-traumatic intracerebral hemorrhage: A retrospective analysisof the MIMIC-IV database
Authors: Feng Jiahui , Liu Renjie , Chen Xuan
Published: November 2024

Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), a nonspecific inflammatory biomarker, has been used in the assessment of acute myocardial infarction, acute hepatitis, acute lung injury, and other severe diseases. However, no studies have evaluated the prognostic value of LDH in patients with non-traumatic intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). This cohort study aims to assess the association between LDH levels and 28-day all-cause mortality in patients with non-traumatic ICH. Data for this retrospective cohort analysis were obtained from the MIMIC-IV (v2.2) database, and the study included patients with non-traumatic ICH as defined by the International Classification of Diseases, 9th and 10th editions. Patients were categorized into four distinct groups based on their LDH levels. The primary outcome of interest was the 28-day mortality rate. To analyze these associations and assess the consistency of interactions, subgroup analyses, Cox regression analysis, Kaplan–Meier (K–M) curves, and nonlinear analysis were conducted. A total of 406 patients with non-traumatic ICH were enrolled in the study and were divided into quartiles based on LDH levels. The K–M curve indicated that the 28-day all-cause mortality rate of patients in the Q4 group (LDH > 287.25) was significantly higher than in the Q1 (LDH < 194.7) (P < 0.001) and Q2 (194.7 < LDH < 233.0) (P < 0.001) groups, though not significantly different from Q3 (P = 0.140). Multivariate Cox proportional hazards analysis revealed that patients in the highest LDH quartile had a significantly increased risk of mortality compared to those in the lowest quartile across three models: unadjusted [HR, 3.401; 95% CI, 1.719–6.731; P < 0.001], partially adjusted [HR, 2.422; 95% CI, 1.211–4.846; P = 0.012], and fully adjusted [HR, 3.054; 95% CI, 1.522–6.126; P = 0.002]. Restricted cubic spline (RCS) models revealed an L-shaped association between LDH levels and the 28-day all-cause mortality rate, indicating a nonlinear relationship (P < 0.001). No significant interactions were observed between LDH levels and other factors in the subgroup analyses (all P for interaction > 0.05). Our findings indicate a significant association between 28-day all-cause mortality and LDH levels in patients with non-traumatic ICH. Specifically, patients with elevated LDH levels within the first 24 h of ICU admission are at a higher risk of mortality.

Cancer remains a leading cause of mortality, with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) being a primary contributor to cancer-related deaths. Traditional treatment strategies such as chemotherapy, radiation, and hormone therapy often present challenges, including severe side effects, drug resistance, and toxicity. Recent advancements in nanotechnology aim to enhance the effectiveness of cancer therapies by targeting drugs selectively and specifically to tumor cells. Among these innovations, exosomes, or small extracellular vesicles (sEVs), have emerged as promising carriers for drug delivery due to their natural origin and ability to encapsulate both small molecules and biologics. This study explores the use of exosomes derived from camel milk in Hail, Saudi Arabia, as a vehicle for delivering curcumin (CUR), a polyphenol with known chemopreventive properties but limited bioavailability. Camel milk was processed to isolate exosomes through differential centrifugation, followed by characterization using dynamic light scattering, zeta potential measurements, and Western blot analysis to confirm exosomal markers. The encapsulation of CUR into camel milk-derived exosomes demonstrated a 20% loading efficiency as analyzed by UPLC. In vitro antiproliferative assays revealed that the exosomal formulation of CUR (ExoCUR) significantly enhanced cytotoxicity against drug-sensitive (A549) and taxol-resistant (A549TR) lung cancer cells compared to free CUR. Molecular docking studies and molecular dynamics simulations indicated that CUR has a strong binding affinity for the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), comparable to the established drug gefitinib. Furthermore, CUR effectively downregulated EGFR and STAT3 expression in lung cancer cells, suggesting its potential to disrupt key signaling pathways involved in tumor progression. Our findings highlight the potential of camel milk-derived exosomes as an effective and biocompatible delivery system for CUR, offering a promising strategy to overcome the limitations of current cancer therapies and enhance the therapeutic efficacy of chemopreventive agents.

Authors: Ceylan Fatih
Published: November 2024

Bu çalışma, giderek daha önemli bir belirsizlik faktörü haline gelen jeopolitik risklerin küresel enerji ve gıda fiyatları üzerindeki etkilerini analiz etmeyi amaçlamaktadır. Bu doğrultuda, zamana göre değişen parametreli vektör otoregresif (TVP-VAR) modelinin kullanıldığı çalışmada 1992:01-2024:02 dönemi aralığı ele alınmıştır. Çalışmada, jeopolitik risklerin enerji fiyatları ve gıda fiyatları üzerindeki zamanla değişen etkisinin yanı sıra enerji fiyatlarının gıda fiyatları üzerindeki etkisi de incelenmiştir. Elde edilen bulgular, jeopolitik risklerin küresel enerji ve gıda fiyatlarına etkilerinin zamanla değiştiğini ve genellikle beklenenden daha düşük düzeylerde olduğunu göstermektedir. Enerji fiyatlarının gıda fiyatları üzerindeki etkisinin ise 2006 sonrasında pozitif olduğu görülmektedir. Bu durum, ekonomik istikrarın sürdürülmesi için uluslararası ekonomik faktörlerin dikkate alınması gerektiğini vurgulamaktadır. Ayrıca, politika yapıcıların enflasyon hedeflemesi gibi para politikalarını uygularken jeopolitik riskleri dikkate almaları ve bu risklere yönelik stratejiler geliştirmeleri ekonomik istikrarı destekleyecektir.
Responsividad y corresponsividad desde una perspectiva fenomenológica
Authors:   Ruhr-Universität Bochum, Waldenfels Bernhard
Published: November 2024

En este artículo utilizaré términos como “responsivo” y “responsividad”. Estos términos no forman parte de la filosofía tradicional. Se hicieron indispensables para mi propio pensamiento cuando intenté desarrollar una teoría de la extrañeza (Fremdheit) radical. En este artículo desarrollo los rasgos básicos de esta responsividad en la que están implicados los otros. Metodológicamente, me guío por una variante de la fenomenología responsiva que ha de entenderse como una fenomenología fundada en el cuerpo. Para ello es crucial el descenso a una forma radical de experiencia que precede a todos los constructos y modelos, así como a su propia teoría. Procederé en tres pasos. En el primer paso, intento mostrar cómo una experiencia de extrañeza radical exige el concepto clave de responsividad (secciones 1-3). En el segundo paso, describo las características básicas de la responsividad y sus desviaciones patológicas (secciones 4-6). En el tercer y decisivo paso, este enfoque se amplía con miras a los momentos de una coafección y corresponsividad que pueden atribuirse a una protosocialidad (sección 7).
No Longer Neutral: The ECB’s Geopoliticization of the International Role of the Euro
Authors: Spielberger Lukas
Published: November 2024

While the euro has, since its creation, been the world’s second most important currency, the ECB has long depoliticized the international role of the euro by proclaiming a neutral stance. However, as this article explains, since 2019, the ECB has embraced currency internationalization and framed the issue in geopolitical terms. This policy change reflects a response to a changed international political environment after 2018 and it has led the ECB to seek closer political coordination regarding external economic policy. As the international role of the euro has become a concern for the EU’s broader geoeconomic turn, it may, however, become difficult for the ECB to reconcile its political independence with its more geopolitical view of currency internationalization.

The paper considers the peculiarities of using the ArcGIS platform for all levels of UN missions as a geospatial platform for monitoring conflict zones and planning a potential course of action. The UN mission is responsible for prevention violence (mostly against civilians), and not just for responding where it continues. International peacekeeping organizations to determine the degree of tension in the area of responsibility are using a variety of methods to obtain information from various sources as organs, forces or means for further analysis and decision-making. Monitoring of the zone of military conflict is an instrumental measure and it includes a cycle of information consisting of such links as data collection, processing, information analysis, decision making etc. Today, the information cycle is important for understanding the state of the conflict and deciding on the necessary actions by the mission leadership. It certainly concerns technological progress and information technology in particular. Accordingly, of There is tactical, operational and strategic importance may be as levels of the impact of monitoring quality. The study of existing systems for monitoring war zones in the UN missions needs more detailed attention. And the definition of improving ways such systems on the basis of modern software and hardware solutions at all government levels, taking into account practical experience, formulates the problem and emphasizes its relevance.

Published: November 2024

The phase equilibrium studies of ZnTe compounds are studied in order to improve the properties of one of the main functional materials of radiation sensors. To control the properties of GdZnTe compounds as the most promising materials for radiation diagnostics, it is necessary to ensure the quality and control of the parameters of the compounds from which it is technologically made. A comparative evaluation of the possibilities of using the considered binary compounds to create semiconductor sensors shows their advantages in comparison with elementary semiconductors. Among binary compounds, GdTe has undoubted advantages. However, this material cannot solve all the problems and eliminate the known shortcomings of existing semiconductor sensors. Such capabilities have solid solutions of broadband compounds, among them the most promising GdTe - ZnTe, forming wideband solid solutions of Gd x Zn 1-xTe (CCT or CZT). Technologically determined areas of temperature and partial pressure of zinc over ZnTe systems. Processional changes of lattice parameters in ZnTe alloys.

The growing dynamics of the armed struggle and the large amount of information to be analyzed, leads to the fact that a person is no longer able in a very short time to analyze the required amount of information and make an informed decision. In such circumstances, there is a need to use modern technologies for managing forces and means of the armed forces to analyze and make decisions, reflect current situations, and which would effectively combine space and time with significant accompanying data in the form of attributive information about operational objects, situation, background information about the theater (area) of hostilities, climatic conditions, intelligence data, etc. The widespread introduction of electronic computing in the control systems of the Armed Forces necessitates the development of new approaches to automate the processing of geospatial information, improve the organization, technology and technical means of obtaining information about the area, its processing and transmission to users. Therefore, in order to increase the efficiency of decision-making and solving military-applied tasks, it’s necessary to involve geographic information systems in decision-making at all levels of military management as a component of the Automated Control System (ACS) of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The geographic information systems allow to form a unified picture of situational awareness, to develop modern methods of control and management of means of armed struggle, including unmanned and robotic systems, to increase transparency and efficiency of staffs and other management bodies. The relevance and necessity of creating and implementing geographic information subsystems for military purposes as a component of information support of the ACS is due to the general increase in requirements for efficiency, completeness and quality of information support of the troop management (forces) process.
