Published: August 2024

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is associated with an increased risk of cognitive and neurodegenerative complications that may develop and persist years after injury. Altered metabolism is considered to be the earliest possible sign of tissue injury and will be present before any structural changes can be detected. Magnetic resonance spectroscopy is a useful technology for longitudinal assessments, which are critical for understanding altered neurochemical concentrations following TBI, suggesting impaired neurotransmission and energy generation, neuronal injury/death, and oxidative stress

Comparison of compressed sensing accelerated MR elastography to standard breath-hold gradient recalled echo MRE for estimating liver stiffness
Authors: Hipko Scott , Akselrod Dmitriy , Zhang Jiming
Published: August 2024

The standard MRE(sMRE) uses four breath-hold, each of 14–22 s, to stage liver fibrosis. The long breath-hold time challenges most children and adult patients with limited breath-hold capability. The compressed sensing (CS) technique was used to accelerate the MRE (csMRE) acquisition to shorten the breath-hold duration (~10s). The preliminary results showed that the LS estimated from csMRE strongly correlated to sMRE and showed strong agreement in the normal to mild liver fibrosis stage. However, it underestimates the liver stiffness in the elevated liver stiffness. The confident available area for LS estimation in csMRE increased 38% compared to sMRE.

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a major contributor to morbidity and mortality in people living with human immunodeficiency virus (PLHIV). In the general population, increased pericardiac adipose tissue is associated with poor cardiovascular outcomes, but its role in HIV-associated CVD is not well described. Using cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR), we report increased pericardial adipose tissue (PAT) and paracardiac adipose tissue (ParaAT) in PLHIV on ART compared to uninfected controls, with untreated PLHIV having an intermediate phenotype. For PLHIV not on ART, myocardial inflammation is associated with more significant impairment in strain and tissue characteristics, but not PAT and ParaAT volume.

Copper is vital for human biological system especially for learning functions. The objective of this paper was to determine the effects of serum copper on learning ability among adolescents in Sokoto, Nigeria. Therewith, serum copper concentrations of the 230 recruited adolescents’ in-school from Sokoto, Nigeria were analyzed using the atomic absorption spectroscopy method, and reagents of analytical grade. The investigation of effect of copper concentration on learning potential was done in a quasi-experimental format. The findings (p<0.05) of serum copper concentration revealed mean serum copper in healthy subjects was 211(91.74%); serum copper deficient subjects were 19(8.26%). The low copper concentration observed based on age shows, 13(5.6%) of 14-16 years; and 6(2.6%) of 16-18 years. Observation of copper level in relation to learning potential show a mean of 62.28 in normal participants, and 36.92 in low copper participants. There is need for utmost diverse nutritional intervention on zinc consumption. There are still some adolescents that have low copper level in the state, and it may affect their learning and entire learning. Thus, it is important to provide better nutrition through using disparate intervention methods to bail the situation.

Finding Meaning in the Congressional Globe: The Fourteenth Amendment and the Problem of Constitutional Archives
Authors: Shelden Rachel A.
Published: August 2024

Few legislative terms left a bigger mark on U.S. constitutional law than the first session of the Thirty-Ninth Congress, which met from December 1865 through July 1866. Although legislative history has become more controversial in modern legal interpretation amid the rise of public meaning originalism, this ses-sion and the men who drafted the Fourteenth Amendment so fundamentally altered the constitutional politics of modern America that their stories remain the subject of deep scholarly interest and fierce debate. In Punish Treason, Reward Loy-alty, Mark Graber takes a comprehensive look at this session through the Congressional Globe—which then served as the “official” records of the legislative branch—to explain the broader constitutional and political considerations of the men who framed the Fourteenth Amendment. Using the Globe’s text, Graber ar-gues that Sections 2, 3, and 4 were the heart of that amendment, rather than the better-known Section 1. Yet, a closer look at the context in which the Congressional Globe operated shows that such debates were far from an accurate depiction of con-gressional business. Instead, the Globe’s pages contained an outsized number of “buncombe” speeches designed for constituents rather than for persuading or ne-gotiating with colleagues; the men who make up Graber’s book used these speeches as a tool of dialogue with the broader public. Ultimately, the Globe may tell us just as much about the public meaning of the Fourteenth Amendment—and many other constitutional and statutory concerns—as it does about legislative in-tent.
Development of a Novel, Polymer-Free, Wet CVD-Graphene Transfer Method and its Application to SERS Surfaces and TERS Probes
Authors:   , Gunn Jacqueline
Published: August 2024

Raman spectroscopy is a powerful optical technique which provides highly discriminatory chemical information in a non-destructive manner. The weak nature of the response can be overcome through the use of metallic nanoparticles, which enhance the signal via localised surface plasmons. This process is termed surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy, SERS. Minimal sample preparation is required, which means that measurements can be made in seconds. Despite the huge potential of SERS, current substrates which offer the best sensitivities may suffer from irreproducible signals, high fluorescent backgrounds, and/or metal oxidation under ambient conditions. The aim of this project was to add monolayer graphene to metallic SERS-active surfaces in order to improve their properties. This required the development of a wet, polymer-free graphene transfer method, and extensive optimisation of factors such as the etchant composition, and the cleaning and transfer of the free-floating graphene. The best results were obtained with an 0.1 M ammonium persulfate etchant containing 0.1% isopropanol, where a manual spoon scooping method was used to move graphene to a cleaning solution prior to deposition on the final substrate. This method was used to transfer graphene to not only SERS surfaces, but also for the first time to tip-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (TERS) probes, where benefits similar to those gained in graphene-SERS (G-SERS) analysis were anticipated. The success of the coating was assessed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), Raman spectroscopy and peak fitting. Graphene could be clearly seen adhering to our SERS surfaces, however it was cracked and torn. TERS measurements of a graphene coated SPM probe also showed indications of graphene peaks present, suggesting the coating of the apex was likely to have been successful. This is the first time that graphene-TERS tip coating has been reported, and with further proof of concept has the potential to revolutionise the production and commercial availability of these probes.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the influence of financial distress, profitability, and leverage on profit management, as well as to examine the role of institutional ownership as a moderating variable in the relationship between financial distress, profitability, and leverage on profit management. This study uses a quantitative research method. Quantitative research emphasizes more on testing theories through the measurement of research variables with numbers and conducting data analysis with statistical procedures. This study uses a causal design, which is a study that explains the causal relationship of independent variables to dependent variables. The results showed that financial distress, profitability, and leverage had no effect on profit management in telecommunications sector companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) for the 2018-2022 period. However, institutional ownership can weaken the influence of financial distress and profitability on profit management, while institutional ownership does not affect the influence of leverage on profit management.

It's time - Tax the Rich!
Authors: Barden Nicolas
Published: August 2024

"Tax the Rich" von Jørgen Randers und Till Kellerhoff (2024) ist ein Plädoyer für die Besteuerung extremen Reichtums angesichts steigender materieller und sozialer Ungleichheit und einer für die Autoren damit stark in Verbindung stehenden Klimakrise. In fünf Kapiteln handeln die Autoren globale und nationale Perspektiven auf verschiedene Möglichkeiten einer Vermögensbesteuerung ab, die ihrer Meinung nach den wesentlichen Teil der Lösung darstellen können, um jene Krisen effektiv zu bekämpfen. Nach einer kurzen Beschreibung von (Vermögens-)Verteilungen und Ungleichheiten sowie der damit zusammenhängenden Klimakrise eruieren die Autoren, warum der aktuelle Status quo in Form des freien Marktes die Krisen nicht bewältigt. Sie schlussfolgern, dass eine Besteuerung verschiedener Vermögensarten diese Krisen bewältigen kann, und handeln dabei auch ab, wer diese Steuern gerechterweise zu tragen hat. "Tax the Rich" bietet spannende Einblicke in Theorie und mögliche Praxis einer politischen Lösung der Verteilungs- und Klimakrise.

İran Anayasasında İdare Hukukunun Temel İlkeleri ve İdarenin Anayasallaşma Süreci
Authors: Aghabalaei Fanid Nematollah
Published: August 2024

İdare hukukunun “anayasallaştırılması” teorisi, idareye ilişkin temel ilkelerin anayasal düzen içine alınması ve bu ilkelerin anayasa üzerinden takip edilmesini amaçlar. Bu durum, bireylerin idareyle ilgili temel haklarının güvence altına alınması ve korunması anlamına gelir. İran İslam Cumhuriyeti Anayasası’nda idare hukukuna dair ilkeler üç ana başlıkta toplanabilir. İlk başlık, Anayasa’nın 3., 10., 31., 28., 43., 44. ve 50. maddelerinde yer alır. Bu maddeler, kamu hizmetleri, sosyal güvenlik, eğitim, çevre gibi sosyal ve ekonomik haklarla ilgili hükümler içerir. Bu bölümde ayrıca, idarenin vatandaşlara karşı sorumluluğu, ayrımcılığın önlenmesi ve adil olanakların sağlanması gibi hususlar düzenlenmiştir. İkinci başlık, Anayasa’nın 113 ila 141. ve 149. maddelerinde yer alır. Bu maddeler, yürütme organının idari yapısı, Cumhurbaşkanı, Bakanlar Kurulu ve bakanların görev ve yetkileri gibi konuları kapsar. Üçüncü başlık ise Anayasa’nın 6., 7., 100. ve 106. maddelerinde ele alınır ve bu bölüm, İslami Şuralar, Vilayetler Yüksek Şurası ve Köy Temsilciler Meclisi gibi mahalli idarelerin yapısı ve görevleri ile ilgili esasları içerir. İran'da idare hukukunun anayasallaştırılması süreci, teorik desteğin eksikliği nedeniyle sınırlı çalışmalara konu olmuştur. İran İslam Cumhuriyeti Anayasası’nda yer alan idare hukuku ilkeleri, anayasanın bir parçası olarak, anayasa hukukunun en önemli uygulama alanlarından biri olarak görülmektedir. Bu bağlamda, anayasanın idare hukukuna müdahalesi, anayasallaşmanın temel bir sonucu olarak değerlendirilir. Ayrıca, idare hukukunun zamanla anayasal nitelik kazanmasında, İdari Adalet Divanı’nın içtihatlarının büyük önemi bulunmaktadır. Tarihsel süreçte, İran hukuk sistemindeki idare hukuku ilkelerinin anayasallaşması çeşitli engellerle karşılaşmışsa da, İdari Adalet Divanı'nın içtihatları, bu ilkelerin hem idari uygulamalarda hem de yargı kararlarında etkili olmasını sağlamıştır.

Background: To investigate the clinical value of absorbable collagen suture in the treatment of oral implant restoration. Methods: A prospective, randomized, single-blind trial was conducted in patients undergoing dental implant restoration in our hospital. The patients were divided into an absorbable group (incision closure with absorbable collagen suture) and a conventional group (incision closure with conventional suture). The incision healing time, postoperative pain degree, incision healing grade, patient satisfaction, and the levels of tumor necrosis factor-a (TNF-a), interleukin-8 (IL-8) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) in gingival crevicular fluid were compared between the two groups. Results: The absorbable group had faster incision healing times and lower postoperative pain scores on days 1 and 2, all with significant differences (P<0.05). Wound healing in the absorbable group was notably better, with a Grade A healing rate of 96.88% and a Grade B healing rate of 3.13%. In contrast, the conventional group had a Grade A healing rate of 81.25%, a Grade B healing rate of 17.19%, and a Grade C healing rate of 1.56%. These differences favored the absorbable group significantly (P<0.05). Before surgery, there were no statistically significant differences in the levels of TNF-a, IL-6, and IL-8 in gingival crevicular fluid between the absorbable and conventional groups (P>0.05). However, 3 days after surgery, the absorbable group showed significantly lower levels of TNFa, IL-6, and IL-8 compared to the conventional group (P<0.05). Patient satisfaction rates for stability, aesthetics, chewing function, and pronunciation were similar between the two groups (P>0.05). However, patients in the absorbable group reported significantly higher comfort levels compared to those in the conventional group (P<0.05). Moreover, the complication rate in the absorbable group was significantly lower at 6.25% compared to 18.75% in the conventional group (P<0.05). Conclusions: Absorbable collagen suture for oral implant prosthesis after suture, beneficial to wound healing and reduce postoperative pain and inflammation.

A single judge bench of the Delhi High Court recently passed an order, rejecting a plea by the petitioner, Sublime Software, challenging a blocking decision by the Union Government under Section 69A of the Information Technology Act, 2000. n this blogpost, we critically analyze the Delhi High Court's ruling, arguing that it exemplifies a troubling trend of legal exceptionalism in Kashmir. We critique the order for its unqualified deference to the states’ national security claims, failing to examine the merits of those claims at all.
