Authors: Джумаёзов Умиджон
Published: October 2024

Настоящая работа посвящена формулировке и численному решению связанных краевых задач термоупругости относительно деформаций для стержня, пластинки и для параллелепипеда. Предложены две эквивалентные связанные краевые задачи термоупругости относительно деформаций и температуры. Первая уравнения термоупругости найденных в рамках условий совместности деформаций Сен-Венана и уравнения притока тепла с соответствующими начальными и краевыми условиями. Во втором случае, дифференциальных уравнений термоупру-гости заменена продифференцированными уравнения движения. Справедливость сформулированных двух краевых задач термоупругости обоснованы сравнением их численных, полученных по методу прогонки и рекуррентных соотношений, а также решением аналогичной связанной задачи относительно перемещений.

Authors: Ганиев С.К. , Худойкулов З.Т.
Published: October 2024

Несмотря на то, что нелинейные S-таблицы важны для безопасности симметричных криптосистем, их аппаратная реализация также требует большого количества логических элементов по сравнению с остальными отображениями. Это приводит к необходимости сокращения количества необходимых логических элементов при аппаратной реализации S-таблиц. На практике для решения этих задач используются решатель SAT, K-map и алгоритмы Куайна-МакКласки. В данной работе решается задача компактификации путем факторизации логических функций, полученных с помощью K-отображения и алгоритмов Куайна-МакКласки. В качестве решения поставленной задачи с использованием предложенного алгоритма были проанализированы таблицы S размером 4×4 и 5×5 бит. Результаты анализа показали, что количество операций ИЛИ и И, задействованных в логических функциях в результате факторинга после отражения K-карты, уменьшилось в среднем на 23,51% для таблиц S размером 4×4 бита, количество задействованных операций ИЛИ и И в логических функциях в результате факторинга после того, как алгоритм Куайна МакКласки составил 23, показало снижение на 24%. Этот показатель был равен 30,29% в случае отображения K-map и 30,48% в случае алгоритма QuineMcCluskey для S-таблиц размером 5x5 бит.

Authors: Bilbao Lema Mariana , Perugino Mauro
Published: October 2024

Introduction: the hand is very susceptible to burn injuries, affecting the vast majority of burn patients and impairing their functionality and quality of life. More than 50 % of those affected are pediatric, which makes recovery difficult because their tissues are in full growth.
Objective: to determine the best treatment to recover the functionality of the burned hand, and minimize the consequences of contractures.
Method: an exhaustive search was carried out where relevant works were selected for this study, for their treatment and reconstruction techniques, and the age of their patients. The variable of greatest consideration is the functionality of the hand.
Results: in the case of pediatric hands, which have a greater propensity for poor healing, it is essential to evaluate the procedures and their reconstructive results in the acute phase to reduce surgeries due to complications. Patients are more concerned about their aesthetic appearance, especially children, and about their functionality, despite the pain they may feel.
Conclusions: surgical treatment, performed by a team of specialists, is the best option to prevent and resolve scars and contractures that hinder hand functionality, as well as aesthetics and growth sequelae in pediatric patients

Authors: Liu Huiyan , Zhu Kuangyi , Yang Cheng
Published: October 2024

Perinatal depression is a prevalent mental disorder among pregnant women, characterized by sleep disturbances, appetite changes, negative emotions, cognitive impairment, and suicidal or homicidal tendencies. These symptoms severely compromise personal well-being, disrupt family life, and burden society. Early detection and intervention are thus crucial. The tryptophan-kynurenine (TRP-KYN) pathway is central to the inflammatory hypothesis of depression and has gained significant attention in perinatal depression research. This pathway encompasses numerous metabolic enzymes and neuroactive metabolites that interact with other physiological systems, influencing neurotransmitter synthesis and neuronal development. Through these interactions, the TRP-KYN pathway exerts psychotropic effects. This article reviews the key metabolites and enzymes of the TRP-KYN pathway and examines its intersection with immune inflammation, hormones, and gut microbiota.

The role of public-sector-led inclusive instant payment systems for growing the digital payments industry in Africa
Authors: Mensah Sabine
Published: October 2024

Digital payments are the most popular financial service in Africa, having been adopted by half of all adults. Nevertheless, there remain significant barriers to access in Africa’s digital payment sector, stymieing growth. Cost and distance to a branch or agent are chief among them, exacerbated by the fact that many economies in Africa have small financial services markets, with payment sectors dominated by private sector financial service and payment system providers that have invested in proprietary, closed-loop digital payments processing infrastructure. These closed-loop systems can be inefficient and therefore expensive to operate, leaving payment services out of reach for millions of end users. With the goal of calling out fruitful approaches for expanding and maturing Africa’s payments market, this paper highlights lessons from four public or public–private instant payment systems (IPS) initiatives that aimed to build affordable and inclusive digital public infrastructure to enable broader access and therefore growth in Africa’s digital payments sector. Using case studies from Ghana, Malawi, Zambia and the Central African Economic and Monetary Community, this paper highlights lessons from these initiatives, including the need for enabling regulations, the need to craft a compelling business case for incumbent payment service providers, central bank involvement to ensure a focus on inclusive access, and customer-centricity to ensure the IPS can process high-demand payment types through the channels that end users prefer.
The application of non-Latin language data in traditional cross-border payments : A discussion
Authors: Zhang Yi
Published: October 2024

During the rapid development of globalisation observed over the last few decades, the English language has emerged as the default language for the communication of cross-border payments. Concurrently, the Latinisation of communication has resolved most of the problems related to the use of non-Latin languages. However, with the G20 cross-border payment roadmap promoting connectivity with local payment systems, this paper suggests that supporting the use of non- Latin language data in certain scenarios and transaction channels could improve the efficiency of cross-border payments and help enhance financial inclusion. This paper examines the use of language data in cross-border payments, reflects on how cross-border payments might support non-Latin language data, and makes relevant suggestions.

Published: October 2024

Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus is a chronic disease characterized by the loss of the body's ability to produce insulin due to the destruction of beta cells in the pancreas. Type 2 occurs when the body does not use the insulin produced, and its main causes are related to excess weight, a sedentary lifestyle, high triglycerides, hypertension and inadequate eating habits. The first discoveries about it were made in 1872 in a papyrus and clinically in 1812. Over the years, research on Diabetes Mellitus has been boosted, which has triggered the search for more effective treatments. This study aims to evaluate the impacts of type 1 and 2 Diabetes Mellitus on both the child's life and the parents' lives, in the emotional, economic and religious spheres, as well as in daily life with family and society. This is a bibliographical research, which used secondary sources of information, such as books, scientific articles and medical journals, such as the Scientific Electronic Library Online (Scielo) and the Public Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online (PubMed). The research aimed to identify the evidence available in these literatures that address, from the perspective of children and adults, the relevant factors for the elaboration of proposals for appropriate instructions for type 1 and type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. Knowledge of the epidemiological situation of type 1 and type 2 Diabetes Mellitus over the years provides support for directing resources to risk areas and for new strategies for preventing and controlling the disease in children, adolescents and adults.

Authors: Westover Jonathan
Published: October 2024

This article explores how leaders can empower employees to drive innovation, build capability, and achieve greater organizational success. It examines the research on effective leadership approaches that consistently outperform "command and control" styles. Specifically, the author argues leadership is not about exerting top-down control but rather developing talent from within, granting autonomous work to teams, and fostering psychological safety. The article reviews case studies of companies that instituted empowering practices like radical promotions from within, autonomous project teams, and removing rank from creative meetings. It then discusses how empowering leaders act as coaches to develop strengths while advocating for employees. Finally, the article provides practical recommendations for implementing empowerment principles, including starting with pilot programs, communicating philosophy clearly, and shifting incentives away from micromanagement toward creative problem-solving. Overall, the research presented makes the case that empowering others through capability-building, autonomy, and safety represents the hallmark of truly transformational leadership that drives engagement and competitive advantage.

Finger hold therapy is taught and carried out 2 times a day, at least 4 hours after administration of analgesic drugs, namely in the morning before taking the medicine and in the afternoon after lunch. Before and after being given the finger-hold relaxation intervention, the patient's perceived pain scale was measured. Measurement of the pain scale using the Verbal Descriptive Scale" and "Wong Baker Pain Rating Scale". The results of this study showed that finger-hold relaxation therapy for 2 times a day in 2 days showed that the results of finger-hold relaxation could reduce the scale of postoperative laparotomy pain, from moderate pain to mild pain. Nurses are expected to apply finger-hold relaxation therapy as a management procedure in postoperative laparotomy patients with chocolate cysts.
L'HISTOIRE CACHÉE DE LA GUITARE ÉLECTRIQUE

Il ne fait aucun doute que l’électrification de la guitare est la plus importante innovation qu’ait connu l’instrument de musique au cours du siècle dernier et depuis, aucun autre ne peut prétendre avoir eu le même impact sur la musique et la société. Si les origines et les premiers développements de la guitare électrique ont fait l’objet de débats houleux et furent la source de nombreux mythes, il est aujourd’hui communément admis que le premier instrument à avoir été une réussite commerciale fut la « Frying Pan » Electro, inventée par George Beauchamp et produite en collaboration avec son associé Adolph Rickenbacker pour la firme Ro-Pat-In Corporation (connue plus tard sous le nom d’Electro String Corporation, aujourd’hui devenue Rickenbacker International Corporation). La technologie développée par Beauchamp pour la « Frying Pan » fut adaptée à la plupart des instruments à cordes électriques. Alors que la guitare électrique est aujourd’hui devenue un objet courant de notre environnement quotidien, son histoire – plus précisément celle de ses origines – demeure obscure et mal connue. Cette méconnaissance ne touche pas seulement le grand public mais elle existe aussi chez les musiciens et les historiens de la musique. Cela est particulièrement vrai des événements qui conduisirent à l’émergence de la guitare électrique – la préhistoire de la guitare électrique. Le texte qui suit en dévoile quelques aspects et examine la place qu’occupèrent des premières guitares électriques dans une perspective plus générale, élargie à l’ensemble des instruments de musique électriques. Il rend compte des événements qui ont conduit au développement de la guitare électrique et montre combien ils sont différentes de ceux qui sont nos jours supposés être à l’origine de l’histoire de l’instrument
A Linear-Time Optimal Broadcasting Algorithm in Stars of Cliques
Authors: Damaschke Peter
Published: October 2024

For the telephone broadcast model, an $O(n\log n)$-time algorithm for
constructing an optimal broadcasting scheme in a star of cliques with a total
of $n$ vertices was recently presented by Ambashankar and Harutyunyan at IWOCA
2024. In the present note we give a considerably shorter and purified
algorithm description and correctness proof. Moreover, we improve the time
complexity to $O(n)$.

Programmed Cell Death Protein-1 (PD-1) represents endogenous mechanisms of negative immunoregulation. While the modulation of effector functions has been the major focus of PD-1 research, quick PD-1 upregulation in naïve T cells starting 1 h after priming raised a possibility that PD-1 also affects the development of effector T cells. The role of PD-1 in functional differentiation into Th1 and Th2 has been unclear. In murine naïve CD4
+
T cell activation, we found that PD-1 stimulation during the early stage of T cell activation strongly impaired Th2 cell development, while Th1 cell induction was relatively resistant to this immunosuppressive signaling. The steep decline in Th2 cell induction suggested the significance of PD-1 in allergic inflammation. Treatment with anti-human PD-1 agonist antibody inhibited allergic inflammation in human PD-1-knock-in mice as shown by the reduction of Th2 cells, IgE levels and eosinophilic infiltration. This study shows that PD-1 regulates not only the intensity but also the quality of immune response by deviating Th differentiation. PD-1 stimulators are projected to be valuable in suppressing various forms of inflammatory activities, but the efficacy against Th2-dominant immune response may be particularly high.
Tripartite organization of brain state dynamics underlying spoken narrative comprehension

Speech comprehension involves the dynamic interplay of multiple cognitive processes, from basic sound perception, to linguistic encoding, and finally to complex semantic-conceptual interpretations. How the brain handles the diverse streams of information processing remains poorly understood. Applying Hidden Markov Modeling to fMRI data obtained during spoken narrative comprehension, we reveal that the whole brain networks predominantly oscillate within a tripartite latent state space. These states are respectively characterized by high activities in the sensory-motor (State #1), bilateral temporal (State #2), and DMN (State #3) regions, with State #2 acting as a transitional hub. The three states are selectively modulated by the acoustic, word-level semantic and clause-level semantic properties of the narrative. Moreover, the alignment with the best performer in brain state expression can predict participants’ narrative comprehension scores. These results are reproducible with different brain network atlas and generalizable to two independent datasets consisting of young and older adults. Our study suggests that the brain underlies narrative comprehension by switching through a tripartite state space, with each state probably dedicated to a specific component of language faculty, and effective narrative comprehension relies on engaging those states in a timely manner.
And So the Game Goes Round
Authors: Taylor Scott K.
Published: October 2024

This chapter explores the effects of new drugs on sociability, using tea as a focal point. While historians often emphasize the rise of coffeehouses and the social anxieties surrounding gin, all new drugs challenged the medieval social world dominated by beer, wine, and taverns. The chapter details how tea symbolized domestic serenity and was associated with genteel middle-and upper-class women by the nineteenth century. However, tea initially disrupted social norms, as it facilitated gatherings of women across class boundaries in crowded cities and created new social spaces free from male oversight. Promoters of these new drugs had to tame and domesticate observers who feared these changes by relying on new standards of politeness and rituals like teatime. The chapter traces the spread of tea and other soft drugs that depended on social ties as each drug began to reshape social life around its use.
Conclusion
Authors: Knight Claire
Published: October 2024

This concluding chapter emphasizes the importance of studying the popular cinema of the late Stalin era as a whole. Indeed, one must look to the left and to the right of Stalin, toward postwar reality and the legacies of the war, on the one hand, and the official aesthetic, socialist realism, on the other, with the intent of breathing new life into a period of Soviet cinema hitherto considered dead. To this end, the chapter explains that the book has pursued two central lines of inquiry in its examination of postwar popular films. First, it has investigated the dialogue between cinema and historical reality, examining the specific instances and ways in which films distorted contemporary Soviet life. Second, it has traced the engagement of cinema with the popular demand for a new socialist realist hero and master plot. The chapter then explores what the war films, Stalin epics, and rural comedies and dramas of 1945–53 had to offer in regard to these two themes.
Coda
Authors: Norako Leila K.
Published: October 2024

This coda emphasizes how the study of recovery romance texts helps us arrive at a keener understanding of the cultural desires and anxieties of late medieval England. Recovery romances promoted aspirations of Christian supremacy and global dominion at a time when such aspirations seemed all but impossible to realize, yet when taken to their logical and extreme conclusions, such texts perpetuate and traffic in ideas that could still be used to justify destroying whole communities of peoples who do not practice Christianity. The coda demonstrates how studying the mechanics of these hyperbolic, aggressive narratives of Christian superiority and the reasons for their popularity in the Middle Ages helps us understand the upswell of interlinked Islamophobia and antisemitism in the current moment. Through a survey of several popular works—from the films Kingdom of Heaven (2005) and American Sniper (2014) to Frank Miller's graphic novel Holy Terror, to David Bowie's song “Loving the Alien” (1984)—as well as an examination of contemporary manifestations and reinventions of crusader ideology, the coda shows how the post-9/11 and post-Trump cultural climate bears numerous eerie similarities to the climate in which recovery romances circulated. It considers how popular works of literature, film, and music fuel a perceived sense of white Anglo-Christian cultural precarity, even when those works attempt to combat white supremacist attachments to the medieval past.
