Thoracic Follicular Dendritic Cell Sarcoma
Authors: V. Vinay , Sharma Priya
Published: March 2024

Follicular dendritic cell sarcoma (FDCS), which makes up 0.4% of all soft tissue sarcomas, is an uncommon low-grade malignant tumor that develops from follicular dendritic cells in germinal centres of lymphoid tissue. The pathophysiology of FDCS is unknown. It can arise in both nodal and extra-nodal areas harboring FDCs and is commonly diagnosed in middle-aged individual who are in their fifth decade of life. The extranodal lymph node locations include the liver, spleen, and GI tract, where FDCS occurs most frequently (79.4%). It is quite uncommon to develop a pulmonary follicular dendritic cell sarcoma. At the microscopic scale, the FDCS displays a wide range of architectural patterns, including fascicular, storiform, whorled, and diffuse patterns. It is frequently not considered a differential diagnosis for a spindle cell neoplasm because of its rarity, misdiagnosis, and diagnostic difficulties. There is no effective treatment for this uncommon tumor, and the value of adjuvant therapy is still debatable. The median survival period following surgery for thoracic FDCS is approximately 4.41 years, with a 5-year recurrence-free survival rate of 47%. Patients diagnosed with localized disease exhibit a 5-year overall survival rate of 55%, whereas those with metastatic disease have a lower rate of 38%.

Interest in ecological products and production is continuously growing in our country as well. Leguminous plants play a particularly important role in ecological agriculture. The favorable effect of legumes for successor plants has been known since ancient times. This article includes the importance and biological characteristics of legumes.
Red Blood Cell Alloimmunization: Life-Threatening Response
Authors: Ali Jalali Far Mohammad , Eftekhar Zeinab
Published: March 2024

Alloimmunization is the formation of antibodies against non-self-antigens from a different member of the same species due to exposure to them via transfusion, pregnancy, or transplantation. Further to ABO(H) alloantigens, more alloantibody reactivity toward RBCs appeared as a result of transfusion evolution. Considering that nowadays RBC polymorphisms include more than 300 distinct alloantigens, alloantibodies produced against these antigens can cause various complications such as hemolytic disease of the fetus and newborn (HDFN) or hemolytic transfusion reactions (HTRs) which are related to significant morbidity and mortality. It seems that different factors can influence alloimmunization such as genetic factors, underlying diseases, infection, and inflammation. It is said that expanded antigen matching of RBCs is the only way to reduce transfusion-associated alloimmunization in the future but there is no way to fully eliminate the development and consequences of alloimmunization. So, it seems additional investigations are needed in this field.
Hypoglycemia in the Hospitalized Patient: Interventions and Opportunities
Authors: Giroir Chelsea , Calmes Helen
Published: March 2024

Hypoglycemia occurs frequently in hospitalized patients and can lead to cardiac arrhythmia/ischemia, seizures, or death. The Louisiana Hospital Improvement Innovation Network (HIIN) requires hospitals to report incidents of hypoglycemia as a quality measure. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the incidence of hypoglycemic events and identify precipitating factors at our institution. This is an IRB-approved single-center, retrospective chart review conducted from January to December of 2022 at an academic medical center. All admitted patients who received an antihyperglycemic agent and experienced a hypoglycemic event, defined as blood glucose <50 mg/dL (2.8 mmol/L), within 24 hours were included. The primary outcome assessed the incidence of hypoglycemic events. A total of 2455 patients received insulin during their admission, of which 91 (3.7%) had a hypoglycemic event that met inclusion criteria. Patients were predominately male (58%) with a median age of 53 years old. A diagnosis of Type I or Type II Diabetes Mellitus was reported in 73% of patients. Basal or basal-bolus insulin was ordered in 70.3% of patients. Our institution’s yearly incidence of 3.7% is above the HIIN standard of 3%. Optimization of guidelines and order sets are proposed to help lower the incidence of hypoglycemic events.

Optical wireless communication (OWC) is a strong candidate in the sixth generation (6G) of wireless communications as it can support data transmission at high communication speeds, low power consumption, high security, and high reliability. Near-infrared lasers, specifically vertical cavity surface emitting lasers (VCSELs), exhibit larger modulation bandwidth compared to light-emitting diodes (LEDs), and can provide aggregate data rates ranging up to Terabit per second (Tbps). This chapter proposes innovative optical transmitter and receiver designs for indoor laser-based wireless communications, aiming to provide seamless coverage in high-speed multi-user scenarios. The proposed optical transmitter is based on a 5 × 5 VCSEL array where each VCSEL can provide 10 Gigabit per second (Gbps) in a uniform coverage area of 20 cm x 20 cm, achieving a total of 250 Gbps in an area of 1 m2 at 3 m transmission distance. Moreover, two wide-FOV receiver designs that employ photodetector (PD) arrays in along with imaging or non-imaging optics are introduced to support such an ultra-high-speed optical link. The new design of OWC requires potential techniques to address various networking challenges, including cell formation, interference management, resource allocation, and backhauling. To this end, potential solutions for these challenges are discussed to help establish an end-to-end OWC infrastructure for practical deployment.
A Case of Carbamazepine Intoxication Saved by Veno-Arterial Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation

Published: March 2024

VA-ECMO (veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation) is mostly indicated for cardiogenic shock caused by myocardial infarction or other causes. However, it is also indicated for shocks caused by other factors and cardiovascular diseases. In fact, VA-ECMO may be very useful as an adjunctive treatment for drug-induced cardiogenic shock until the drug effect wears off. We have experienced a case of bradyarrhythmia and cardiopulmonary arrest due to high-dose carbamazepine ingestion, and VA-ECMO was introduced to save the patient’s life. The patient was a female in her 50s with a history of schizophrenia. On the day of admission, the patient’s family found her collapsed at home after she had taken an overdose of carbamazepine, and they called an ambulance. Upon arrival at the hospital, the patient’s bradycardia progressed to cardiac arrest. Her heartbeat resumed, but we observed drug-resistant bradycardia, so we introduced VA-ECMO. The patient was weaned from VA-ECMO on the fourth day of hospitalization and from the ventilator on the tenth day. She was discharged after 35 days. Carbamazepine is a sodium channel blocker with proarrhythmic effects. Because bradyarrhythmia during overdose is refractory to treatment, it is suggested that VA-ECMO is effective in cases of circulatory failure or cardiac arrest.
Exercise Is Medicine through Time: Prescription of Adapted Physical Activity in Treatment and Rehabilitation
Authors: Asonitou Katerina , Yiannaki Soteria , Koutsouki Dimitra
Published: March 2024

The history of physical activity and sport dates to ancient times, when it was not only a means of preparation for military readiness but also had religious and educational purposes. The relationship between physical activity and good health goes back centuries accepted, as formulated by Hippocrates 2500 years ago. In Greek antiquity, “gymnastike” highlighted physical beauty in harmony with the soul and spirit, perfecting simultaneously an individual’s personality and health. Lifelong exercise administered by gymnasts was applied to strengthen weak limbs, and contributed to the healing of patients when applied in the healthcare facilities of the time, as mentioned in “Asclepieia.” Nowadays, the idea that “exercise is medicine” has two components: (1) every patient’s treatment or rehabilitation plan should include physical activity and exercise training, but the prescription must be tailored to the patient’s specific needs and (2) doctors’ challenge lies in implementing this medical prescription for adapted physical activity (APA), which encourages patients to lead more active lives.
Perspective chapter: Power Quality and Hosting Capacity
Authors: Rawa Muhyaddin , M. Ali Ziad , H.E. Abdel Aleem Shady
Published: March 2024

With the increasing prevalence of distributed generation (DG) and power electronic-based technologies, consumers will have more alternatives for obtaining energy from different public or private sources. The issues will be with power quality (PQ), pricing, and reliability. Shortly, maintaining acceptable power quality levels above certain acceptable thresholds will be challenging because of the special difficulties brought on by nonlinear loads and novel types of load equipment. The significance of current and voltage quality issues increases even further in such an environment of competition. The chapter is dedicated to presenting an overview of PQ definitions, disturbances, causes, and standards. Harmonic description, sources, effects, and harmonic filtering techniques are also presented. Then, renewable-based DGs and HC studies—types, challenges, and solutions, are demonstrated. Further, a literature overview of the existing solutions under consideration (harmonic management) is presented and discussed.
Peace beyond the Absence of War: Three Trends in the Study of Positive Peace
Authors: M. van Iterson Scholten Gijsbert
Published: March 2024

Recent years have seen a surge in renewed academic interest in positive concepts of peace. This chapter takes stock of these developments, arguing that three trends can be observed. First, in a quest to make positive peace measurable, additional indicators of peace are added to the absence of war, mostly relying on existing databases. Second, in an attempt to capture the varieties of peace that resonate with inhabitants of postwar countries, authors rely on interviews with various groups to construct locally grounded notions of peace. Third, the ontological status of peace is reconceptualized. Rather than being a (utopian?) state of affairs, peace is said to be a process, an emergent phenomenon, or a quality of relationships between actors. The uptake of these three trends is that we are left with a variety of peace paradigms for local and international peacebuilders to work on. Consequently, special attention should be paid to concepts of peace that resonate with rising powers in peacebuilding and with populations in conflict-affected areas. The chapter concludes that the field of peace studies is maturing into a separate discipline, following a different logic than that of conflict studies, holistic rather than reductionist, bottom-up rather than top-down and focusing on long-term change rather than quick problem-solving.
Fundamental Channel Characteristic Comparison of Distinct LED Beams-Based Outdoor Free Space Optical Communications for 6G Wireless Networks
Authors: Ding Jupeng , I Chih-Lin , Wang Jintao , Song Jian
Published: March 2024

In upcoming 6G era, free space optical wireless communications (FSOC) are viewed as promising enabling techniques for backhaul and access of next-generation wireless networks. Channel modeling and characterization is the essential composition to predict FSOC system performance and feature, especially for outdoor application. Objectively, light emitting diodes (LED) are the popular and cost-efficient optical sources for short- and middle-range outdoor FSOC links. Up to know, the concerned LED beams are assumed to follow the well-known Lambertian radiation patterns for outdoor FSOC domain, which actually ignore the diversity and effect of the non-Lambertian radiation patterns of the commercially customized LEDs. For addressing the above issue, typical LUXEON Rebel non-Lambertian optical beam is adopted to configure the distinct LED beams-based outdoor FSOC links. Numerical results illustrate that more dispersive horizontal coverage characteristic could be derived from the LUXEON Rebel non-Lambertian FSOC links.

Chayote (Sechium edule (Jacq.) Sw.) (Cucurbitaceae) is a vegetable native to backyard gardens that has evolved as an export product in the last 20 years. The producing countries are Mexico, Costa Rica, the Dominican Republic, and recently some Mediterranean countries in Europe. Its commercial success has extended the cultivation areas, and pest organisms have been identified that attack different organs of the plant, affecting profitability, health, and safety. The lack of accurate knowledge about damage caused to the plant generates errors and costs for its control due to wrong diagnoses and the use of pesticides of toxicological groups and doses that do not effectively control the pest organism. For this reason, it is essential to have the identification of the main pest organisms that attack each organ of the chayote plant, in order to ensure timely, adequate, socially, and environmentally responsible management that allows sustaining productivity and obtaining quality fruits. This chapter graphically describes, for the first time, the main pest organisms that limit the productivity of commercial chayote.
Robust fuzzy-logic flight control for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs)
Authors: ÖZBEK Cengiz
Published: March 2024

Researches on Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) have been recently attracting considerable interest in the field of control theory applications. They are used in a wide range of areas thanks to having the potential of high manoeuvrability, hovering and flying, taking off and landing capabilities. However, to maintain robust control action towards changing conditions of the system is not an easy matter since quadrotor UAVs are highly unstable systems with high precision. Therefore, the main purpose of this study is to control a quadrotor UAV by using a proposed multi-input single-output (MISO) fuzzy-logic controller that ensures robustness if model parameters and trajectory change. For that reason, a 2-dimensional 3 degree-of-freedom quadrotor was used in this study to better evaluate the performance of proposed controller on UAVs. Afterwards, numerical analysis was performed and the findings were analysed. Consequently, the single most striking observation to emerge from the study is that the satisfactory results have been obtained demonstrating that the proposed fuzzy logic controller has remarkable advantage on the robustness of quadrotor UAVs.

Published: March 2024

This research aims to analyze the social situation during the flu-influenza pandemic in the novel "The Stand" by Stephen King. Researchers completed the data for this study using descriptive qualitative analysis techniques. The data collection in this article is the novel "The Stand" and secondary data are internet resources and journals and the technique of collecting data using note-taking. The technique analysis data used an objective approach to examine how literary works relate to the current (real-time) context. The method of analysis involves looking for patterns of behavior, changes in social norms, and individual responses to uncertainty and health threats. The results revealed that the pandemic outbreak catalyzed significant social change in the novel, giving rise to new power dynamics, competition, and collaboration among survivor groups. The results of this study illustrate the Influenza flu pandemic that almost claimed the entire population in the world and how those who are still alive survived until this pandemic problem is over, face loneliness, despair, belief (religion), and responsibility. This article also provides deep insights into how authors use fiction to reflect and depict social situations during health crises. The implications of these findings may provide further understanding of the complexity of human interactions during difficult times and create awareness of the importance of solidarity and adaptation in the face of global challenges.

Negative Data and the Ethical Considerations of Burying a Project to Hide the Data From Stakeholders: “When Courage Fails Us”
Authors: Corbin Thomas P. ,   Neilson Journals Publishing
Published: March 2024

A significant theory of corporate social responsibility is the Stakeholder Model. Within this model, entities make decisions that impact all stakeholders. Occasionally, the decision that is made ultimately impacts one stakeholder differently than another. Negative data by its very definition is seen as problematic for any organization as it pertains to its stakeholders. When confronted with the data or the potential of the data being negative to desired outcomes or directions of programs, an organization’s leadership may be faced with an ethical conundrum. Should the data be included and shown to all stakeholders? Or should the data be buried and avoided even to the point of engaging in questionable conduct in the management of paperwork and record keeping?
Awakening Awareness and Application: Utilizing Guest Speeches and Reflective Learning to Teach Ethics in Marketing
Authors: Wingate Nikki , Micu Dorin , Schapsis Claudio ,   Neilson Journals Publishing
Published: March 2024

There has been considerable debate on how to teach ethics within the marketing curriculum to accommodate the AACSB requirements requiring emphasis on ethical issues within the business curricula. Since introducing a separate course on marketing ethics has limited reach, we propose incorporating the ethical dimension through guest speeches and reflective learning in a mandatory Marketing course for all business majors. Through phenomenographic analysis of 121 student reflections, we report evidence supporting the effectiveness of this approach in significantly raising awareness of ethics in the marketing domain and in initiating the nurturing of ethical reasoning abilities in undergraduate business students early in their college careers. Students absorbed substantial amounts of knowledge at different levels and demonstrated significant cognitive processing within the revised Bloom’s taxonomy. Using this method to teach marketing ethics promotes awareness and application of ethical reasoning without compromising disciplinespecific instruction.
Woo-Woo for Gainful Good?
Authors: Mattson Craig ,   Religious Communication Association
Published: March 2024

The social entrepreneur has gained prominence as a cultural figure whose inspirational storytelling promotes a working life good for the self and good for the world. Recent examples of allegedly aspirational but actually malfeasant entrepreneurs, however, have raised public questions about this figure’s promise to unite personal, professional, and public aspirations within a single identity. By critically examining the communication patterns of social entrepreneurs narrating personal and organizational spirituality, this article argues for a shift from inspirational identity narratives that assume an individualist and instrumentalist model of communication to fellowship narratives that assume a collective and participatory model.
Ecumenical Attributability and the Structural Ownership Condition on Moral Responsibility
Authors: Harris Cody ,   Southwestern Philosophical Society
Published: March 2024

This paper discusses the non-historicist structural ownership condition on moral responsibility forwarded by Benjamin Matheson. The structural ownership condition requires that a morally relevant action be grounded or partly grounded in psychological states that are generally coherent. While Matheson does not mean to settle the debate on historicism vs. non-historicism, he does mean to secure the position of the ownership condition against the problems that structuralist theories have faced in the past. This paper will focus on how the ownership condition handles cases of ambivalent agents. Intuitively, ambivalent agents should be responsible for what they do as long as what they do is expressive of their cares or commitments, or their authentic character. At a first glance it appears that the ownership condition follows intuitions about ambivalence, but with a closer look we can see that Matheson has provided a potential counter example to this position.
Amoral Actions and Relational Knowledge
Authors: Gaier Robyn ,   Southwestern Philosophical Society
Published: March 2024

Amoral actions are actions outside of the moral domain. To establish a way of understanding amoral actions, I will draw upon Dale Dorsey’s agency view which, in sum, maintains that an agent must have a reason to perform an action and be able to perform the action in question based upon that reason. Dorsey focuses upon both cognitive and circumstantial limitations to establish the fact that moral agents can (and do) perform amoral actions. In this paper, however, I will focus upon a kind of deficiency of knowledge that is imparted socially. Some actions of persons suffering from autism seem to fall into the category of amoral actions that I have in mind but, so too, would some actions of persons who suffer from a moral injury. In sum, I aim to expand upon the category of amoral actions among moral agents.
The Role and Challenge of Teaching Assistants in Engineering Ethics Courses
Authors: Peng Yuqi , Poliakoff Moriah , Rosenberg Lewis ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: March 2024

This paper explores the often-overlooked role of teaching assistants (TAs) in engineering ethics courses, and a particular challenge that TAs face in these roles. TAs not only undertake tasks like instructors, which include teaching, guiding, and evaluating courses, but they also assume the roles of “intermediaries between instructors and students” and “learners becoming teachers.” These distinct roles present TAs with unique challenges, one of which we call the neutrality problem. This problem pertains to whether TAs can and should maintain a neutral stance in the classroom, particularly when students articulate ideas that deviate from the values promoted in the course or held by the TAs. Using a real-life teaching experience as illustrative, we claim that it is challenging and, at times, undesirable for TAs to achieve pedagogical neutrality, primarily due to their pre-existing understanding of ethics and the actual situation of the students. Nevertheless, we posit that TAs should strive to foster an environment where students are encouraged to improve their ethical awareness. Through the underrepresented lens of TAs, we aim to initiate a multi-faceted dialogue on the teaching philosophy and goal of engineering ethics.
