The global trend in modern development often fails to appreciate and damages the natural beauty of old rivers in central city districts. This issue is observed in the case of the Bunus River, which once served as the main transportationroute for early settlements in Kampong Bharu –a traditional village located in the heart of Kuala Lumpur city center. Despite its 9.2-kilometer length, the Bunus River is currently underutilized, unexploited, and lacks a sense of place. It has been covered with a pathway and used as a cycling track for city residents due to heavy pollution and significant floods in 2007 and 2011. However, the inefficient design of the pathway has left the river buried and unnoticed by most residents in the area. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the Axial Lines of the Bunus River as a social network in Kampong Bharu, utilizing Space Syntax analysis. The research method for this study employed mixed methods, focusing on the Bunus River in Kampong Bharu as the case study. Observational research was carried out along the Bunus Pathway. The data was analyzed through Space Syntax Axial Line analysis to test the axis of the river. The findings of this study revealed that optimizing the axis of the river could direct much more active movement into the area. Consequently, it is concluded that the Bunus River should be integrated into the design of the cycling tracks and pedestrian paths that span over it, thus improving the connectivity of the pedestrian and social network in Kampong Bharu as a whole.

Authors: Безбородова Д. , Гусаров Д. , Гнеушев А. , Мальцева О.
Published: January 2024

Проведено культивирование культуры клеток 4647 на микроносителях Cytodex 1, Cytodex 3, DEX 1 во вращающихся колбах. Определена динамика метаболитов в процессе культивирования. Наиболее активное потребление глюкозы и выделение метаболитов лактата и глутамата проходило в клеточной культуре 4647, культивируемой на микроносителях Cytodex 1, Cytodex 3, что говорит об оптимально подобранных условиях культивированиях на данных микроносителях и применении данного метода для дальнейшего масштабирования. Менее активный процесс метаболизма, наблюдаемый в культуре клеток, культивируемой на микроносителе DEX 1, свидетельствует о торможении процессов жизнедеятельности клеток и необходимости подбора иных условий культивирования клеточной культуры 4647 на микроносителе DEX 1.
Влияние предварительной горячей штамповки на микроструктуру и механические свойства стали AISI D2 после закалки
Authors: Боле Шрутик , Саркар С. Б.
Published: January 2024

Исследовано влияние параметров горячей штамповки и термической обработки (температура аустенизации, среда закалки и температура отпуска) на микроструктуру и механические свойства (твердость, ударная вязкость и износостойкость) стали AISI D2 (Х12МФ). Установлено, что в процессе горячей штамповки первичные карбиды M7C3 в структуре стали трансформируются во вторичные карбиды M23C6. Это способствует упрочнению стали, так как вторичные карбиды M23C6 являются основным фактором ее повышенной прочности и износостойкости. Проведение закалки после ковки вызывает увеличение количества вторичных карбидов и их более однородное распределение в структуре, что приводит к повышению твердости, ударной вязкости и износостойкости стали.
Полимерная модель расплава плотноупакованного металла
Authors: Талис А. Л. , Крапошин В. С.
Published: January 2024

Предложена структурная модель металлических расплавов на основе структур всех модификаций Mn. Основой данной модели являются спирали из тетраблоков — объединений по граням четырех правильных тетраэдров. Спирали из тетраблоков обладают высокой плотностью и нетрансляционным дальним порядком, что объясняет высокие экспериментальные значения плотности расплава по сравнению с моделью хаотической упаковки и размытие дифракционной картины расплава. При кристаллизации расплава в одну из структур модификаций Mn такая спираль наследуется в форме ее периодического аппроксиманта. Модель позволяет адекватно описать изменения структурно-чувствительных свойств металлов при термической обработке.

“Ayudarse a sí mismo”. Organización comunitaria y asociaciones civiles en la Revista Educador Sanitario (Argentina, 1956-1965)
Authors: Reyna Carla
Published: January 2024

El artículo pretende aportar un abordaje más amplio sobre los procesos de organización comunitaria y el accionar de las asociaciones civiles como modalidades de intervención sanitaria descentradas del Estado, a mediados de las décadas de 1950 y 1960 en Argentina. El corpus documental está compuesto por la Revista Educador Sanitario, publicación oficial de la Dirección de Educación Sanitaria y Social de la Nación durante la época. Su análisis permite interpretar el rol asignado a la educación sanitaria como saber estatal, tanto en la gestión de las primigenias experiencias vecinales en recintos periurbanos, como en el renovado protagonismo de las asociaciones civiles abogadas a la prevención, el tratamiento y la rehabilitación de enfermedades crónicas. Si bien, esta coyuntura se ha asociado a las políticas de “bienestar social” impulsadas por el gobierno de facto de Juan Carlos Onganía (1966-1970), el presente estudio hemerográfico corrobora sus orígenes en las administraciones nacionales previas.

Barriers and Challenges Of Multidisciplinary Teams In Oncology Management: A Scoping Review Protocol
Authors: Law Nicholas Lee Wei , Hong Lai Wei , Tan Shirley , Jie Foo Chuan , Fung Daniel Lee Zhi , Jye Voon Pei
Published: January 2024

Introduction: Multidisciplinary Teams (MDTs) are integral to oncology management, involving specialised healthcare professionals who collaborate to develop individualised treatment plans for patients. However, as cancer care grows more complex, MDTs must continually adapt to better address patient needs. This scoping review will explore barriers and challenges MDTs have encountered in the past decade; and propose strategies for optimising their utilisation to overcome these obstacles and improve patient care.Methods and Analysis: The scoping review will follow Arksey and O'Malley's framework and begin with a literature search using keywords in electronic databases such as PubMed/MEDLINE, Scopus and PsychINFO, covering the period from January 2013 to December 2022 and limited to English language publications. Four independent reviewers will screen titles and abstracts based on predefined inclusion criteria, followed by full-text review of selected titles. Relevant references cited in the publications will also be examined. A PRISMA flow diagram will be utilised to illustrate the methodology. Data from selected publications will be extracted, analysed, and categorised for further analysis.Ethics and Dissemination: The results of the scoping review will provide a comprehensive overview of the barriers and challenges encountered by oncology MDTs over the past decade. These findings will contribute to the existing literature and provide insights into areas that require improvement in the functioning of MDTs in oncology management. The results will be disseminated through publication in a scientific journal, which will help to share the findings with the wider healthcare community and facilitate further research and discussion in this field.
Quantum State Storage in a Travelling Dark State Polariton, under a Standing Wave Control Laser Field in a Solid-State Medium
Authors: Chakraborty Avirup , Chakrabarti Shrabana
Published: January 2024

In this paper, we derive an expression for the Dark State Polariton (DSP) field, formed by thesuperposition of atomic and photonic states, for the case of a travelling probe laser pulse under the application of a standing wave control laser pulse for a lambda-level scheme EIT System in a solid crystal. We show how an enhancement in the nonlinearity of the EIT process by eliminating pulse broadening due to diffusion can be achieved in the case of a travelling probe pulse under the effect of standing wave control laser pulses. At last, we propose an experiment that can help realise the storage of a probe pulse in the hyperfine levels 3H4 ↔1D2 of Pr3+: Y2SiO5, cryogenically cooled at 4.5 K. We, at last, predict from the temporal variation of the energy density of the stored probe pulse that a longer storage time is possible for a perfect standing wave control laser field than a non-standing control wave, due to its more prominent nonlinear effect.
Exploring complex and integrated information during sleep
Authors: Onoda Keiichi , Akama Hiroyuki
Published: January 2024

The Integrated Information Theory is a theoretical framework that aims to elucidate the nature of consciousness by postulating that it emerges from the integration of information within a system, and that the degree of consciousness depends on the extent of information integration within the system. When consciousness is lost, the core complex of consciousness proposed by the Integrated Information Theory disintegrates, and Φ measures, which reflect the level of integrated information, are expected to diminish. This study examined the predictions of the Integrated Information Theory using the global brain network acquired via functional magnetic resonance imaging during various tasks and sleep. We discovered that the complex located within the frontoparietal network remained constant regardless of task content, while the regional distribution of the complex collapsed in the initial stages of sleep. Furthermore, Φ measures decreased as sleep progressed under limited analysis conditions. These findings align with predictions made by the Integrated Information Theory and support its postulates.
A Comparative Case Analysis of Passively Collected Smartphone-Based Data in the Days Prior to Psychiatric Hospitalization for a Suicidal Crisis
Authors: Jacobucci Ross , Ammerman Brooke A. , Ram Nilam
Published: January 2024

Background: Digital phenotyping has seen an increase in application across clinical research broadly, however, little research has targeted passive assessment approaches to suicide risk detection. There is significant potential of a novel form of digital phenotyping, termed screenomics.Objective: This paper focuses on a comprehensive case review of two participants, detailing their passive (i.e., obtained via screenomics screenshot capture) and active (i.e., obtained via EMA) risk profiles that culminated in suicidal crises and subsequent psychiatric hospitalization. Through this analysis, we shed light on the timescale of risk processes as they unfold prior to hospitalization, as well as introduce the novel application of screenomics within the field of suicide research.Methods: To underscore the potential benefits of screenomics in comprehending suicide risk, the analysis concentrates on a specific type of data gleaned from screenshots—text—captured prior to hospitalization, alongside self-reported EMA responses. More specifically, we focus on the following types of response / use patterns: general, risk factors relevant to theoretical and empirical work on suicide risk, those directly relevant to suicidality, and social content as derived from screenshots. Results: Our analysis revealed several key findings. First, there was a notable decrease in EMA compliance prior to hospitalization, which contrasted with an overall increase in phone usage leading up to hospitalization, particularly marked by heightened social use. Additionally, screenomics captured prominent precipitating factors in each instance of suicidal crisis that were not detected via self-report. Conclusions: Our preliminary findings underscore the potential of passively collected data in understanding and predicting suicidal crises. The vast number of screenshots from each participant offers a granular look into their daily digital interactions, which, when combined with EMA assessments, provides a more comprehensive view of an individual's psychological processes in the time leading up to a suicidal crisis.
Sea Nomads, Sultans, and Raiders: History and Ethnogenesis in the Sulu Archipelago, Philippines

Published: January 2024

The Sulu Archipelago, nestled between Mindanao and Borneo, has been a melting pot of people and cultures for thousands of years. Major sociopolitical changes marked its history, attracting groups of people or forcing drastic dispersals. Today, the islands host various ethnolinguistic groups, including Sama-Badjaw and Tausug-speaking communities. We surveyed the literature from multiple disciplines—linguistics, anthropology, archaeology, history, and genetics—to shed light on past movements and the emergence of ethnicities in the region. Three factors drive ethnogenesis in the Sulu Archipelago: niche or economic specialisation, social hierarchies, and assimilation. Economic specialisation initially fostered differentiation among groups inhabiting reef and island ecosystems. The most extreme adaptive strategy was boat-nomadism, whose origin was tied to the evolving sociopolitical order. With the rise of the Sultanate of Sulu, differences in rank and religion were articulated along ethnic lines. The Tausug assumed formal dominance over the surrounding populace, whereas the Sama Dilaut were relegated to society’s periphery. The mid-eighteenth century saw the integration of Sulu within the global trading network which created a labour-driven economy focused on procuring local products. During this period, the Sama Bangingi emerged as specialised maritime raiders who incorporated captive peoples from parts of the Philippines and Southeast Asia. Following the end of foreign imperial control, the peoples of Sulu found themselves subsumed within the modern Philippine state. Social change continues as the Sama Dilaut integrate into the broader Sama milieu, and the rest of the Sulu Archipelago into Filipino society.

Published: January 2024

Background: Glandular cystitis is a metaplastic lesion of the bladder urothelium primarily affecting men. There are two types: typical glandular cystitis and intestinal glandular cystitis. Therefore, the definitive diagnosis relies on histopathology. The controversial theory surrounds the malignant degeneration of these lesions. Here, we present a case of florid glandulo-cystic cystitis of intestinal origin. Clinic observation: A 20-year-old man presented to the clinic with intermittent total hematuria associated with obstructive and irritative symptoms that had been ongoing for more than a year. In Histology examen, there was an absence of malignant tumor proliferation and signs indicative of typical inflammation: Florid glandulo-cystic cystitis of intestinal type. Conclusion: Intestinal glandular cystitis is a rare condition affecting primarily men and involving the bladder mucosa. Its symptoms are nonspecific and often go undiagnosed. Transurethral bladder resection remains the treatment of choice, but other therapeutic modalities, proven effective, should not be dismissed. The issue of malignant degeneration remains a controversial topic for debate, but the course of the disease is primarily marked by recurrences, necessitating cystoscopic monitoring.

Published: January 2024

Cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy (CAN) is a microvascular consequence characterized by the dysfunction of cardiovascular autonomic regulation in individuals diagnosed with diabetes, in the absence of any other underlying causes. This cross-sectional study was carried out in Baghdad City, Iraq in order to assess the risk factors of diabetes-associated cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy among insulin and non-insulin dependent diabetics. from January 20th 2023 to August 1st 2023. The mean age of studied patients was 48 years and the mean duration of diabetes was 15 years. 99 of diabetic patients were males and 64 of them were females; 94 were IDDM and 66 were NIDDM patients. In NIDDM patients, autonomic neuropathy was substantially correlated with retinopathy (P < 0.001), with a greater frequency of retinopathic individuals (82%) in the autonomic neuropathy group. There was a strong relationship between blood pressure and almost every test in both types of diabetes. In this clinic-based investigation, it is clear that autonomic neuropathy is related to microvascular diabetes sequelae, such as retinopathy and nephropathy in IDDM. In IDDM, there is evidence that glycemic control is important, but in NIDDM, additional variables than metabolic control could be important. However, data suggest a connection between autonomic neuropathy and blood pressure. Longitudinal and epidemiological research are required to better understand the association between cardiovascular risk factors and autonomic neuropathy, as well as the pathophysiology, prognosis, and prognostic implications of autonomic neuropathy.
Sexual Behaviours and Awareness of HIV and AIDS among Migratory People
Authors: Acharya Lal Mani
Published: January 2024

In the context of Nepal, where the epidemiological status of HIV&AIDS is presumed to be in its early stages, a growing body of evidence indicates that HIV is emerging as a significant public health concern in the country. In response, both governmental and non-governmental entities have formulated strategic plans and policies to combat the pervasive impact of HIV & AIDS. The imperative for educational institutions is to comprehensively disseminate information to both the youth and the broader community, fostering knowledge, motivational skills for self-protection against HIV & AIDS, and cultivating an attitude of non-discrimination and care for individuals living with HIV & AIDS. This field-based study focuses on exploring sexual behaviors and awareness regarding HIV & AIDS among migratory populations in the Khatyad Rural Municipality of the Mugu district, Nepal. Employing a descriptive and qualitative research design, the study underscores the examination of sex behaviors, knowledge levels, and attitudes prevalent among migratory individuals concerning HIV & AIDS. The findings of this research can serve as valuable insights for policymakers in devising strategic plans and for education specialists in crafting targeted HIV & AIDS education initiatives within educational frameworks. Primary data for the study were gathered directly from the field, with a study population comprising 80 migratory individuals aged 15-60 years. The majority of these individuals were found to be married but lacking formal education. Approximately half of the respondents were aware of HIV & AIDS, with education correlating to awareness of preventive measures. A subset of respondents (14%) reported engagement in pre-marital sexual practices. The study unveiled a general lack of awareness among migratory individuals regarding HIV & AIDS, with insufficient knowledge on the subject. Notably, a few educated respondents exhibited a positive attitude towards individuals living with HIV. Consequently, the study identifies HIV & AIDS as a critical public health issue requiring immediate attention.
Investigating the Underlying Factors and Outcomes of the Madheshi People's Movement in Nepal (2007-2008)
Authors: Pokharel Arjun Prasad
Published: January 2024

The study focuses on the Madheshi People’s Movements in the Tarai region of Nepal during 2007 and 2008. The key issues investigated include the catalysts behind these movements, their influence on Nepalese politics, and the sustained implications for Madheshis and other marginalized communities. The primary aim of this research is to discern the causes of the Madheshi People’s Movements, understand their impact on Nepalese politics, and evaluate the lasting effects of the achievements stemming from these uprisings. Utilizing semi-structured interviews, Focus Group Discussions (FGD), questionnaire surveys, and an extensive review of secondary data, the research unfolds the transformative nature of the Madheshi People’s Movement of 2007. The methods employed provide a comprehensive understanding of the socio-political landscape surrounding these movements. The research identifies three core elements contributing to the initiation of the 2007 and 2008 Movements: perceived discrimination against Madheshis, radicalization of regional and ethnic issues influenced by the Maoist rebellion, and the precedent set by the People’s Movement of 2006. The Madheshi People’s Movements significantly impacted Nepalese politics, leading to the declaration of Nepal as a federal state and notable electoral success for Madheshi political parties. However, internal divisions emerged within the Madheshi identity, with marginalized communities distancing themselves from the Madheshi label, posing a potential threat to the movements' achievements. While the Madheshi People’s Movements brought about crucial changes in Nepal's political landscape, the emergence of internal dissent among Madheshis calls for a strategic repositioning of Madheshi political parties. To preserve their achievements, these parties must transcend identity boundaries and represent the interests of all marginalized communities in Nepal. Failure to do so risks eroding the gains made through the identity politics initiated by the Madheshi parties.
Assessing COVID-19 Lockdown's Impact: Domestic Violence Against Women in a Selected community of Lalitpur
Authors: KC Reshma , KC Smriti , Poudel Saroja
Published: January 2024

This study examines at how prevalent domestic violence was against women in a particular Lalitpur community during the Covid-19 lockdown. Violence against women encompasses acts of aggression directed primarily or exclusively towards women and girls. The confluence of economic strain, movement restrictions, heightened partner frustration, and the disruption of social and protective networks during the lockdown amplifies women's susceptibility to exploitation and abuse. Employing a descriptive cross-sectional design, the study employed a convenient sampling technique to select 74 married women within the reproductive age group. A systematic interview schedule was used for data collection, and inferential statistics like the Chi-square test were used in conjunction with descriptive statistics like frequency and percentage for the analysis that followed. The study found that during the Covid-19 shutdown, domestic violence against women was prevalent in 31.1% of cases. Victims reported experiencing emotional (37.7%), economic (23.0%), physical (31.1%), and sexual (8.2%) violence. The primary contributing factors to the occurrence of violence were identified as being confined at home with the abuser (31.1%), financial concerns (28.4%), and problematic inter-relationships within family members (28.4%). Of the variables taken into account, the only ones that showed a significant correlation with the occurrence of domestic violence during the Covid-19 lockdown era were the husband's employment, education, and history of violence. The results highlight how urgent it is to address domestic abuse of women in Nepal, especially during times of crisis like the Covid-19 lockdown. It is imperative for the country to prioritize the enhancement of support systems to prevent the occurrence of such violence and safeguard the well-being of victims.

It is a way to foster economic growth and peace through sustainable practices. Ecopreneurship can be used to promote sustainable development, alleviate poverty, and create employment opportunities. Ecopreneurship is a combination of two words ‘ecological (eco)’and ‘entrepreneurship’. Entrepreneurship is a part of the economy that is demanded in modern open economies. Structural changes in society are needed for the creation of entrepreneurship Entrepreneurship and more, particularly ecopreneurship, are essential to drive the sustainable transitions needed in educational sectors. Existing pedagogic frameworks should address these academic disciplines and they should be embedded in the educational curricula. The aim of this conceptual paper is to consider pedagogic and program design. This makes this paper of particular interest for academia, educational policymakers and education industry support sectors alike. An existing university that has both a student enterprise and ecopreneurship program and an established educational business incubator and accelerator is used as a case study to provide insight into how progress from ideation to commercialization can be more readily supported in a university setting. From a pedagogical perspective, it helps to develop new conceptual, methodological, and theoretically underpinned spiral pedagogies to teach and support colleges and universities as to how to exploit and take advantage of entrepreneurial and ecopreneur business opportunities. Ecopreneurship relates to environmentally friendly ways of doing business through school education systems.

Background: Online trading is becoming a prominent method of conducting stock exchanges through web platforms. While many regions worldwide have embraced online trading, its introduction in Nepal is relatively recent. The Nepalese stock market is considerably smaller than its neighboring nations, highlighting the significance of capital in a country's economic progress.

Objective: The main objective of this paper is to investigate the factors that influence investor awareness of online trading within the Nepal Stock Exchange. The study focuses on investors who engage in stock market activities online, examining the variables of better online trading (dependent variable), facility in online trading, and investors' intention to invest (independent variables) in the context of online trading in Nepal.

Methods: To achieve this objective, the study employed a non-probability convenience sampling technique, selecting 403 samples from the population of online investors. The research process incorporated three key instruments: expert opinions, structured questionnaires for surveys, and observational data collection.

Results: The study's findings reveal that the majority of investors (83.4%) in Nepal possess a comprehensive awareness of online trading. Notably, the primary source of this awareness is brokers, accounting for 58% of investor knowledge dissemination.

Conclusion: This research underscores the growing awareness of online trading within the Nepal stock exchange. Although Nepal's stock market is relatively diminutive compared to neighbouring nations, brokers play a vital role in educating investors about online trading. As investor interest in online trading rises, stakeholders and regulators must adapt to this evolving financial landscape.

Implications: Understanding the factors that drive awareness and participation in online trading is critical for the development and growth of the financial sector in Nepal. Stakeholders must enhance educational efforts and facilitate investor-friendly policies further to bolster the online trading ecosystem in the country.
