Participatory Budgeting in the Global South: towards a new international diffusion
Authors: Porto Henrique Dias , Rena Natacha
Published: August 2024

Participatory Budgeting (PB) is a practice built on the precepts of deepening democracy and spatial justice, which emerged in Brazil at the end of the 1980s. As such, PB spread throughout the country and the world, at first as a banner for the possibility of reinventing democracy beyond the limitations of the liberal model. However, some political processes caused this instrument to change, as it spread around the world, while at the same time losing strength and effectiveness in Brazil. This work is dedicated to promoting reflections on the processes of expansion and decay of the PB in Brazil and around the world, as well as the possibilities of rethinking this instrument from a popular and democratic conception anchored in the Global South.

Authors: Çetinkaya Erkan , Tanır Halil , Celık Furkan
Published: August 2024

The purpose of this study is to determine the relationship between nicotine addiction and perceived stress among students enrolled in the Faculty of Sport Sciences at a public university. The sample of the study consisted of 209 (n=66 female and n=143 male) volunteer students who were studying at Faculty of Sport Sciences at Aydin Adnan Menderes University during the Spring Semester of the 2023-2024 academic year. Fagerström Test for Nicotine Dependence (FTND) and the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) were used to determine the nicotine dependency and perceived stress levels of the participants. The data obtained from the surveys were analyzed using the SPSS 26.0 software package. As a result of statistical analysis, a significant difference was found between female and male students in terms of nicotine addiction levels (p<0.05); however, there was no significant difference in perceived stress levels (p>0.05). In addition, a positive and very low relationship was found between nicotine addiction and perceived stress levels (p<0.05). Based on the research results, it was determined that the participants had a high level of nicotine addiction and perceived stress, gender had an impact on nicotine addiction but did not affect perceived stress, and stress was not a significant factor in starting or continuing smoking among the students of the Faculty of Sport Sciences.
Quantum Chaos and Coherence: Random Parametric Quantum Channels
Authors: Matsoukas-Roubeas Apollonas S. , Prosen Tomaž , Campo Adolfo del
Published: August 2024

The survival probability of an initial Coherent Gibbs State (CGS) is a natural extension of the Spectral Form Factor (SFF) to open quantum systems. To quantify the interplay between quantum chaos and decoherence away from the semi-classical limit, we investigate the relation of this generalized SFF with the corresponding l1-norm of coherence. As a working example, we introduce Parametric Quantum Channels (PQC), a discrete-time model of unitary evolution mixed with the effects of measurements or transient interactions with an environment. The Energy Dephasing (ED) dynamics arises as a specific case in the Markovian limit. We demonstrate our results in a series of random matrix models.
Double or nothing: a Kolmogorov extension theorem for multitime (bi)probabilities in quantum mechanics
Authors: Lonigro Davide , Sakuldee Fattah , Cywiński Łukasz , Chruściński Dariusz , Szańkowski Piotr
Published: August 2024

The multitime probability distributions obtained by repeatedly probing a quantum system via the measurement of an observable generally violate Kolmogorov's consistency property. Therefore, one cannot interpret such distributions as the result of the sampling of a single trajectory. We show that, nonetheless, they do result from the sampling of one pair of trajectories. In this sense, rather than give up on trajectories, quantum mechanics requires to double down on them. To this purpose, we prove a generalization of the Kolmogorov extension theorem that applies to families of complex-valued bi-probability distributions (that is, defined on pairs of elements of the original sample spaces), and we employ this result in the quantum mechanical scenario. We also discuss the relation of our results with the quantum comb formalism.
Hamiltonian simulation for low-energy states with optimal time dependence
Authors: Zlokapa Alexander , Somma Rolando D.
Published: August 2024

We consider the task of simulating time evolution under a Hamiltonian H within its low-energy subspace. Assuming access to a block-encoding of H′:=(H−E)/λ, for some λ>0 and E∈R, the goal is to implement an ϵ-approximation to the evolution operator e−itH when the initial state is confined to the subspace corresponding to eigenvalues [−1,−1+Δ/λ] of H′, for Δ≤λ. We present a quantum algorithm that requires O(tλΓ+λ/Γlog⁡(1/ϵ)) queries to the block-encoding for any choice of Γ such that Δ≤Γ≤λ. When the parameters satisfy log⁡(1/ϵ)=o(tλ) and Δ/λ=o(1), this result improves over generic methods with query complexity Ω(tλ). Our quantum algorithm leverages spectral gap amplification and the quantum singular value transform.For a given H, the block-encoding of its H′ must be prepared efficiently to achieve an asymptotic speedup in simulating the low-energy subspace; we refer to these Hamiltonians as gap−amplifiable. We show necessary and sufficient conditions for gap amplifiability in terms of an operationally useful decomposition of H into a sum of squares. Gap-amplifiable Hamiltonians include physically relevant examples such as frustration-free systems, and it encompasses all previously considered settings of low energy simulation algorithms. Any Hamiltonian can be expressed as a gap-amplifiable Hamiltonian after simple transformations, and our algorithm retains the asymptotic improvement over generic methods as long as the conditions on the parameters are met.We also provide lower bounds for simulating dynamics of low-energy states. In the worst case, we show that the low-energy condition cannot be used to improve the runtime of Hamiltonian simulation methods. For gap-amplifiable Hamiltonians, we prove that our algorithm is tight in the query model with respect to t, Δ, and λ. In the practically relevant regime where log⁡(1/ϵ)=o(tΔ) and Δ/λ=o(1), we also prove a matching lower bound in gate complexity (up to logarithmic factors). To establish the query lower bounds, we consider oracular problems including search and PARITY∘OR, and also bounds on the degrees of trigonometric polynomials. To establish the lower bound on gate complexity, we use a circuit-to-Hamiltonian reduction, where a “clock Hamiltonian'' acting on a low-energy state can simulate any quantum circuit.

Authors: Álvarez-Pinilla Liz , Vargas-Flores Tiare , Elgueta-Villablanca Patricia , Martinez-Ordenes Macarena
Published: August 2024

Objetivo: conocer el estado actual de la atención en salud sexual y reproductiva disponible o recibida por las personas transgénero a nivel global, según las dimensiones de los Estándares de Cuidado de la Asociación Mundial de Profesionales para la Salud Transgénero (WPATH).
Métodos: se realizó una revisión de alcance entre durante el primer trimestre de 2023, de todos los artículos disponibles en el período 2015-2023 en cuatro bases de datos (EBSCOHost-CINAHL Complete, Scielo, Lilacs, Google Académico) para la búsqueda de artículos, más el motor de búsqueda de Google para literatura gris y protocolos de atención de salud.
Resultados: fueron incluidos 124 artículos. Si bien se evidencia un aumento en las interés del personal de la salud por atender a esta población, la atención sigue siendo ineficiente y deficiente respecto de los estándares de cuidado de la WPATH. La investigación en personas transgénero se concentra en Estados Unidos y los diseños se distribuyen de forma similar entre cualitativo, cuantitativo y revisiones sistemáticas. Se aprecia una tendencia al alza en relación con la investigación en este grupo a lo largo de los años. Los textos revisados incluyen las dimensiones de los estándares de cuidado de la WPATH.
Conclusión: la población transgénero presenta grandes vulnerabilidades en atención en salud sexual y reproductiva debido a barreras de carácter cultural, políticas e ideológicas, esto influye en un alto riesgo de contraer diversas ITS/VIH, riesgo de embarazos no deseados/planificados, además de presentar peores índices de salud mental. Si bien existen guías clínicas de atención a personas transgénero en estas materias, los profesionales de salud y la población general están poco familiarizados con ellas.

Published: August 2024

Objective: The objective of this research is to evaluate and analyze the impact of effective good corporate governance and knowledge management on organizational citizenship behavior. In addition, this research also investigated the mediating role of job satisfaction.Methodology: This research involved the saturated sample of 179 employees. Quantitative analysis was carried out through a survey approach using questionnaires and the Smart-PLS model structural analysis method.Findings: An interesting finding in this research is that consistent and structured implementation of GCG has been able to improve organizational performance by reaching the right people through the right channels in a short time. Therefore, employee job satisfaction is no longer the dominant factor in this research.Conclusion: Organizational citizenship behavior has a positive influence on Good Corporate Governance and knowledge management. The implementation of good corporate governance and well-functioning knowledge management makes a positive contribution to the level of job satisfaction. Even though job satisfaction has a significant positive impact on Organizational Citizenship Behavior, job satisfaction does not act as an intermediary in the relationship between Good Corporate Governance and Organizational Citizenship Behavior. In contrast, in the knowledge management framework, job satisfaction plays a role as a mediator that connects the influence of knowledge management on organizational citizenship behavior.
Neoliberalismo, privatización bancaria en Costa Rica y nuevo sistema financiero desnacionalizado. Consecuencias de las nuevas políticas públicas y posibles alternativas al modelo actual
Authors: Jaén-España Adrián
Published: August 2024

El presente texto reflexiona sobre la relación entre la aplicación del modelo neoliberal en Costa Rica y la apertura del mercado financiero nacional, vinculada sobre todo a los cambios en la legislación y las posibilidades de la banca privada de captar recursos del público. Primero plantea una discusión teórica, desde una perspectiva crítica, sobre la cuestión financiera y bancaria, luego recoge algunos antecedentes del desarrollo de la banca en Costa Rica, antes de la apertura bancaria; posteriormente, se centra en la vinculación de esta transformación del sistema financiero nacional con la aplicación del modelo neoliberal en el país y sus principales consecuencias. En las conclusiones se resalta el hecho de que las anunciadas promesas de mayor eficiencia y menores tasas de interés a partir de la apertura y promoción de la banca privada no se cumplen, más bien, la banca pública muestra mayor eficiencia y menor costo que la banca privada.

APPLICATION OF FORCE MAJEURE CLAUSES IN AGREEMENTS BUSINESS RENTAL DURING THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC
Authors: Andini Barata
Published: August 2024

The development of the COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted various aspects of life, one of which is in terms of agreements where there is a breach of contract because one party cannot fulfill its achievements due to the COVID-19 force majeure. The formulation of the problem in this research is how to apply the COVID-19 force majeure clause in leasing contracts during the pandemic and what the settlement policy is for leasing contracts that occur during the COVID-19 pandemic. This research aims to find out how the force majeure clause is applied in leasing agreements during the COVID-19 pandemic and how to resolve it. This research uses an empirical juridical research method, namely a method used to obtain primary data and find the truth based on facts in the field through interviews with related parties. The results of this research explain that the leasing institution PT. FIF Group Astra Palu City and Sinarmas Multifinance Palu City have not implemented a force majeure clause in the contract with the lessee. The two leading institutions have formed various policies to overcome defaults during the COVID-19 pandemic by referring to the Regulation of the Financial Services Authority of the Republic of Indonesia Number 14/POJK.05/2020 concerning Countercyclical Policies on the Impact of the Spread of Coronavirus Disease 2019 for Non-Bank Financial Services Institutions and continue to pay attention to the precautionary principle that does not harm the lessee or the lessor. This research provides suggestions for leasing institutions to include standard clauses regarding COVID-19 force majeure in written contracts with lessees, and for lessees to be more cooperative in responding to policies issued by leasing institutions.

Published: August 2024

Free-piston engine is considered one of the potential range extenders for
hybrid vehicles because of its high thermal efficiency, low mechanical loss
and ultimate fuel flexibility. The performance of scavenging devices or
structures is critical of two-stroke free-piston engine stable operation.
This paper aims to explore the operating characteristics of an integrated
scavenging pump coupled with a buffer tank under different operating
conditions to promote the application of scavenging pumps on free-piston
engines. Hence, a detailed contrast experiment is performed to investigate
the effect of the buffer tank volume, discharge position and deflated
pressure on the scavenging pump performance. By analysing the experimental
results, a weighting score system is employed in deciding the most
appropriate buffer tank for the application. CFD calculation of the gas

OBJECTIVE

The coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has evolved over time by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) variant, disease severity, treatment, and prevention. There is evidence of an elevated risk of incident diabetes after COVID-19; our objective was to evaluate whether this association is consistent across time and with contemporary viral variants.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS

We conducted a retrospective cohort study using National COVID Cohort Collaborative (N3C) data to evaluate incident diabetes risk among COVID-positive adults compared with COVID-negative patients or control patients with acute respiratory illness (ARI). Cohorts were weighted on demographics, data site, and Charlson comorbidity index score. The primary outcome was the cumulative incidence ratio (CIR) of incident diabetes for each viral variant era.

RESULTS

Risk of incident diabetes 1 year after COVID-19 was increased for patients with any viral variant compared with COVID-negative control patients (ancestral CIR 1.16 [95% CI 1.12–1.21]; Alpha CIR 1.14 [95% CI 1.11–1.17]; Delta CIR 1.17 [95% CI 1.13–1.21]; Omicron CIR 1.13 [95% CI 1.10–1.17]) and control patients with ARI (ancestral CIR 1.17 [95% CI 1.11–1.22]; Alpha CIR 1.14 [95% CI 1.09–1.19]; Delta CIR 1.18 [95% CI 1.11–1.26]; Omicron CIR 1.20 [95% CI 1.13–1.27]). There was latency in the timing of incident diabetes risk with the Omicron variant; in contrast with other variants, the risk presented after 180 days.

CONCLUSIONS

Incident diabetes risk after COVID-19 was similar across different SARS-CoV-2 variants. However, there was greater latency in diabetes onset in the Omicron variant era.

Background: Racial and ethnic disparities in type 2 diabetes outcomes are a major public health concern. Interventions targeting multiple barriers may help address disparities.

Purpose: To conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis of diabetes self-management education interventions (DSME) in minority populations. We hypothesized that interventions addressing multiple levels (individual, interpersonal, community, societal) and/or domains (biological, behavioral, physical/built environment, sociocultural environment, health care system) would have the greatest effect on hyperglycemia.

Data Sources: PubMed, Scopus, CINAHL, PsycINFO (1985-2019).

Study Selection: Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of DSME interventions among US adults with type 2 diabetes from racial/ethnic minority populations.

Data Synthesis: There were 106 RCTs included. Twenty-five percent (n=27) of interventions were exclusively individual-behavioral, 51% (n=54) were multi-level, 66% (n=70) were multi-domain, and 42% (n=45) were both multi-level and multi-domain. Individual-behavioral interventions reduced percent hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) by -0.34 (95% CI [-0.46, -0.22], I2 = 33%) (-3.7 [-5.0, -2.4] mmol/mol). Multi-level interventions reduced percent HbA1c by -0.40 (95% CI [-0.51, -0.29], I2 = 68%) (-4.4 [-5.6, -3.2] mmol/mol). Multi-domain interventions reduced percent HbA1c by -0.39 (95% CI [-0.49, -0.29]), I2 = 68%) (-4.3 [-5.4, -3.2] mmol/mol). Interventions that were both multi-level and multi-domain reduced percent HbA1c by -0.43 (95% CI [-0.55, -0.31], I2 = 69%) (-4.7 [-6.0, -3.4] mmol/mol).

Limitations: Restricted to RCTs.

Conclusions: Multi-level and multi-domain DSME interventions had a modest impact on HbA1c. Few DSME trials have targeted the community/societal levels or physical environment domain. Future research is needed to evaluate the impact of these interventions on outcomes beyond HbA1c.
X-linked Duchenne muscular dystrophy. Motor functions and prognosis
Authors: Hinge HH , Hein-Sørensen O , Reske-Nielsen E.
Published: August 2024

69 patients with x-linked Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) were included in a retrospective investigation from 1975-1986. A mean profile of the decline of the motor functions was made by using the median age at which the patients were unable to perform specific motor functions by request. It was found that 81.2% of the personal profiles followed the pattern shown in the mean profile of the disease and that DMD is progressing in a uniform way, but with a different progression rate in every DMD patient. Good correlation between two motor functions made it possible to predict a personal prognosis of the decline of the motor functions in the DMD patient. No correlation between late walkers (later than 18 months) and rapid progression was found.
Vestibulo-ocular reflex suppression following hemispheric stroke
Authors: Catz A , Ron S , Solzi P , Korczyn AD.
Published: August 2024

This study examined vestibular function following hemispheric ischemic strokes, by testing the suppression of the vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR). Fifteen patients with cortical or subcortical infarcts several months after a unilateral hemispheric stroke were compared with control subjects. The results indicated impairment of VOR suppression in patients with cortical infarcts. It is suggested that cortical infarcts may induce a mild and symmetrical impairment of vestibular activity which may be responsible for mild and transient imbalance in patients who undergo stroke.
Physical and psychological workload in men with and without low back pain
Authors: Hultman G , Nordin M , Saraste H.
Published: August 2024

Current and retrospective physical and psychological workload was studied in 148 mean, 45-55 years old. The men represented three groups with respect to low back health status: Healthy low back (Group 1, n = 36), intermittent low back pain (LBP) (Group 2, n = 91) and chronic LBP (Group 3, n = 21). The methods used were a self administered questionnaire, a rating scale of perceived exertion, and blind expert assessment built on a classification of job titles. Group 1, the back-healthy subjects, had been less exposed to heavy physical work than subjects with intermittent LBP (Group 2) and chronic LBP subjects (Group 3) through their whole working-career and in their present work (p < or = 0.05, p < or = 0.01). Group 2 tended to be significantly less exposed in their present work than Group 3 (p < or = 0.06). Non-neutral working postures were reported more often in Groups 2 and 3 than in Group 1 (p < or = 0.05, p < or = 0.001). Both groups 2 and 3 perceived present and earlier work to be more strenuous than Group 1, with respect to the low back (p < or = 0.000). Subjects in the healthy low-back group had lower values in the qualitative demand index ("too difficult working tasks" and "too great responsibility") than subjects in Groups 2 and 3 (p < or = 0.01). This study indicates that more attention should be given to the individual's perception of physical workload.
Does hyperextension have an unloading effect on the intervertebral disc?
Authors: Magnusson ML , Pope MH , Hansson T.
Published: August 2024

A stadiometer (a device to measure the overall height of a subject) was used to determine the effect of hyperextension in rehydration of the intervertebral disc. Hyperextension for 20 minutes in a prone posture was compared with the prone posture alone for 20 minutes. The stadiometer measurement was made after the subject was exposed to 10 kg of loading applied to the shoulders for five minutes and after each of the recovery postures. It was found that hyperextension gave a significantly increased height recovery compared with the prone posture.
Prolonged functional impairments after whiplash injury
Authors: Hagström Y , Carlsson J.
Published: August 2024

Thirty patients with whiplash injuries were examined 1 to 55 months after the accidents. Pain had appeared on the day of the accident in 24 (80%) of the patients and with different delays in the remainder. The mean pain intensity was 43 mm (SD 26) on a visual analogue scale (VAS). All patients had pain in the neck, 17-33% had headache and 6-17% had pain in various regions of the arms. Thirteen patients (43%) suffered from constant pain, while 17 (57%) had pain-free periods. Muscle tenderness was higher at all tested sites compared with controls. The tolerance level to pressure pain in the index finger as well as grip strength and neck mobility was reduced compared with controls. The whiplash patients showed poorer mental well-being compared with a reference group representing the general population and compared with a group of tension-type headache patients.
A comparison of different psychosocial questionnaires in patients with myocardial infarction
Authors: Wiklund I Welin C.
Published: August 2024

In a consecutive study of 140 patients investigated one month after myocardial infarction (MI), a battery of American and English questionnaires was used to measure depression, anxiety, sleep problems, health locus of control and perceived health. These measures were compared with a well-documented generic questionnaire, the Nottingham Health Profile (NHP), and a similarly well-documented mood scale, the Mood Adjective Check List (MACL). There was close agreement among all measures depicting anxiety and tension. The concordance between the measures of anxiety states and depression was lower. Depression and sleep problems seem to constitute separate concepts, since they are not as highly related to the other measures of anxiety. Because psychosocial factors are important measures for the outcome after an infarction, accurate assessments of these variables are required. Further research is clearly warranted to clarify the complicated interaction between psychosocial constructs and to improve the methods used for their evaluation.
The gait of unilateral transfemoral amputees
Authors: Boonstra AM , Schrama J , Fidler V , Eisma WH.
Published: August 2024

The aim of this study was to describe the gait of persons with a unilateral transfemoral amputation by means of a questionnaire, gait analysis and measurement of energy expenditure, and to find correlations among the variables studied. The study included 29 transfemoral amputees amputated for other reasons than a chronic vascular disease. The patients were assessed using the following methods: 1) A questionnaire rating the walking distance and walking difficulty in different circumstances. 2) Gait analysis measuring temporal variables and goniometry of hips and knees. 3) Measurement of energy expenditure during sitting and walking. Scores on the questionnaire showed a correlation with socket design, a negative correlation with age and energy expenditure, and a positive correlation with fast speed. The gait of transfemoral amputees was asymmetrical as far as temporal variables were concerned, and for most amputees also for the range of motion of hip and knee. The walking speed of the amputees was lower than that of non-amputees and showed a positive correlation with hip extension-flexion range of motion and a negative correlation with age and stride time. The energy expenditure of the amputees during ambulation was higher than that of non-amputees, and seemed to correlate with residual limb length and the hip abduction-adduction range of motion.
