Temporal and Spectral Evolution of Gamma-Ray Burst Broad Pulses: Identification of High-latitude Emission in the Prompt Emission
Authors: Tak Donggeun , Uhm Z. Lucas , Racusin Judith , Zhang Bing , Guiriec Sylvain , Kocevski Daniel , Zhang Bin-Bin , McEnery Julie
Published: June 2023

We perform a detailed analysis of broad pulses in bright gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) to understand the evolution of GRB broad pulses. Using the temporal and spectral properties, we test the high-latitude emission (HLE) scenario in the decaying phase of broad pulses. The HLE originates from the curvature effect of a relativistic spherical jet, where higher-latitude photons are delayed and softer than the observer’s line-of-sight emission. The signature of HLE has not yet been identified undisputedly during the prompt emission of GRBs. The HLE theory predicts a specific relation,

After imposing unbiased selection criteria in order to minimize contamination in a signal by background and overlaps of pulses, we build a sample of 32 broad pulses in 32 GRBs. We perform a time-resolved spectral analysis on each of these 32 broad pulses and find that the evolution of 18 pulses (56%) is clearly consistent with the HLE relation. For the 18 broad pulses, the exponent δ in the relation of

is distributed as a Gaussian function with a median and width of 1.99 and 0.34, respectively. This result provides a constraint on the emission radius of GRBs with the HLE signature.
Dynamically Forming Extremely Low-mass White Dwarf Binaries in Wide Orbits
Authors: Khurana Ambreesh , Chawla Chirag , Chatterjee Sourav
Published: June 2023

The detection of a 0.2 M
⊙ extremely low-mass white dwarf (EW) in a wide orbit (P
orb ≈ 450 days) with a 1.1 M
⊙ main-sequence companion, KIC 8145411, challenges our current understanding of how EWs form. The traditional channel for EW formation, via mass transfer from the EW’s progenitor, is expected to form EW binaries in tight orbits. Indeed, the majority of known EWs are found in tight binaries with a median P
orb ≈ 5.4 hr. Using numerical scattering experiments, we find that binary–binary strong encounters in star clusters can sufficiently widen the orbit of a typical EW binary, to explain the observed wide orbit of the KIC 8145411 system. The P
orb distribution for EW binaries produced through binary–binary encounters is bimodal: one mode corresponds to the initial orbital period of the EW binary, while the other is near P
orb ∼ few 102 days, similar to the orbital period of the KIC 8145411 system. We find that the production of wide EW binaries that are also ejected from the cluster peaks at a star cluster mass of ∼105
M
⊙ with a rate of ∼10−3 Gyr−1. Assuming that 50% of all stars form in star clusters and an initial cluster mass function ∝m
−2, we estimate a galactic formation rate of ∼4.16 × 103 Gyr−1 for wide EW binaries.
Material Properties of Organic Liquids, Ices, and Hazes on Titan

Published: June 2023

Titan has a diverse range of materials in its atmosphere and on its surface: the simple organics that reside in various phases (gas, liquid, and ice) and the solid complex refractory organics that form Titan’s haze layers. These materials all actively participate in various physical processes on Titan, and many material properties are found to be important in shaping these processes. Future in situ explorations on Titan would likely encounter a range of materials, and a comprehensive database to archive the material properties of all possible material candidates will be needed. Here, we summarize several important material properties of the organic liquids, ices, and the refractory hazes on Titan that are available in the literature and/or that we have computed. These properties include thermodynamic properties (phase-change points, sublimation and vaporization saturation vapor pressure, and latent heat), and physical properties (organic liquid densities and organic ice and haze densities). We have developed a new database to provide a repository for these data and make them available to the science community. These data can be used as inputs for various theoretical models to interpret current and future remote sensing and in situ atmospheric and surface measurements on Titan. The material properties of the simple organics may also be applicable to giant planets and icy bodies in the outer solar system, interstellar medium, protoplanetary disks, and exoplanets.
Rediscovery of Rubus pendulus Rusby (Rosaceae) and a new record for the flora of Ecuador and Peru
Authors: Espinel-Ortiz David A. , Rodríguez Carla J. , Romoleroux Katya
Published: June 2023

We report the rediscovery of Rubus pendulus Rusby, “Mora India”, described in 1933 from Colombia and not mentioned again until the present study. We also update its distribution with eight new localities in Colombia, seven in Ecuador and one in Peru, being a new record for the flora of the latter two countries. This is the first time that R. pendulus’ stipules and flowers are found and detailed through a botanical description, illustrations and photographs. Rubus pendulus is morphologically differentiated from R. bogotensis Benth., R. mollifrons Focke, R. porphyromallos Focke and R. urticifolius Poir., with whom it was previously confused and we give a brief explanation on the type specimen status of R. mollifrons and R. porphyromallos.
Korean Guidelines for Postpolypectomy Colonoscopic Surveillance: 2022 Revision
Authors: Kim Su Young
Published: June 2023

The risk of developing metachronous advanced neoplasia is associated with the presence of polyps in index colonoscopy. Therefore, it is essential to establish the optimal colonoscopy surveillance period following polypectomy. In the 2020s, international guidelines published by the US Multi-Society Task Force, European Society of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy, and British Society of Gastroenterology were revised. In 2022, the Korean postpolypectomy colonoscopic surveillance guidelines were revised to recommend surveillance for adenoma size ≥ 10 mm, ≥ 3 adenomas, tubulovillous or villous adenoma, adenoma with high-grade dysplasia, traditional serrated adenoma, sessile serrated lesion (SSL) with dysplasia, serrated polyp with size ≥ 10 mm, and ≥ 3 SSLs.
Interpretation of Thyroid Autoantibodies in Hyperthyroidism
Authors: Baek Han-Sang , Lim Dong-Jun
Published: June 2023

Thyrotoxicosis is a clinical state with a variety of various etiologies that results from excess thyroid hormones, including hyperthyroidism and thyroiditis. Graves' disease (GD) is a well-known autoimmune thyroid disease that causes hyperthyroidism, and its pathogenesis is mainly driven by the thyroid-stimulating hormone receptor antibody (TSHRAb), which is highly specific for GD. Measuring the TSHRAb is a fast and accurate diagnostic tool for GD and has been used to monitor disease activity and the treatment response. However, conventional TSH-binding inhibitory immunoglobulin (TBII) does not differentiate between stimulating, blocking, or neutral antibodies. In contrast, thyroid stimulatory immunoglobulin bioassays differentiate between stimulating and blocking antibodies and have comparably high sensitivity and specificity to TBII for GD. We also discuss the role of thyroid peroxidase antibody (TPOAb) and thyroglobulin antibody (TgAb) in thyrotoxicosis, although they are less specific than TSHRAb for GD. TPOAb is associated with autoimmune thyroiditis, while TgAb appears with TPOAb in patients with autoimmune thyroid disease. In addition, TPOAb or TgAb may be associated with a low recurrence of GD after discontinuing anti-thyroid drugs. Clinicians should interpret thyroid autoantibodies in the context of the patient's clinical presentation and consider their implications to manage and monitor thyrotoxicosis.
Improvement in Dasatinib-Induced Proteinuria after Switching to Nilotinib: A Case Report
Authors: Jeon Joohee , Lee Dongyeon , Ahn Jae Sung , Baek Chung Hee , Kim Hyosang
Published: June 2023

Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), such as imatinib, dasatinib, and nilotinib, have been used to treat chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML). The adverse effects of these TKIs vary according to the site of signaling pathway inhibition. Here, we report a case of dasatinib- induced proteinuria. A 56-year-old Korean woman was diagnosed with CML and treated with dasatinib. However, 3 years later, the patient developed hypertension and microalbuminuria. Losartan was ineffective, so a kidney biopsy was performed, which revealed dasatinib-associated glomerular changes. Subsequently, dasatinib was switched to nilotinib. After 1 month, the spot urine protein/creatinine ratio decreased from 2,985.0 mg/g to 237.8 mg/g. This case of heavy proteinuria developed after long-term TKI treatment and improved rapidly after switching to another TKI. The proposed strategy is important because it eliminates the need to discontinue the medication or use immunosuppressive drugs to treat proteinuria.

L’Europe du droit dans tous ses États
Authors: Winckler Antoine
Published: June 2023

La thèse de l’auteur est que la réalité quotidienne de la construction européenne, et de ses constantes avancées juridiques en marge même du processus politique ou interétatique d’approfondissement, devient de plus en plus difficile à concilier avec les conceptions monistes traditionnelles, non seulement de la souveraineté comme horizon indépassable de toute construction politique, mais aussi de la hiérarchie des normes juridiques, voire même de la théorie classique de séparation stricte des pouvoirs. L’auteur propose en particulier de se pencher d’abord sur les conditions d’apparition historiques de ces théories classiques comme sur des théories antérieures que celles-ci ont évincées, puis sur le concept de « primauté » juridique du droit européen comme règle fondamentale de création et d’interprétation en tant que mécanisme central de l’ordre juridique européen. Dans l’adoption de cette règle fondamentale comme « règle de reconnaissance », les juges, mais peut-être plus encore, la communauté des avocats ont eu un rôle primordial.
L’avocat et les modes alternatifs de résolution des conflits
Authors: Buchman Louis B.
Published: June 2023

Les conflits sont consubstantiels à l’homme. Pour les régler, recourir à la justice plutôt qu’à la force permet la vie en société. Cependant, la justice étatique, rendue dans de nombreux pays par des juges non indépendants du pouvoir exécutif, est parfois erratique ou partiale, rarement réparatrice et souvent chère et lente. Comme alternative, existent des modes dits alternatifs comprenant les modes amiables (non juridictionnels) et l’arbitrage (mode quasi-juridictionnel), qui peuvent être utilisés séparément, successivement ou en parallèle. Y recourir en dépassant certaines réticences permet d’éviter bien des défauts de la justice étatique, en particulier en raison de l’acceptation par les parties de la solution amiable trouvée. Ces modes alternatifs sont pratiqués le plus souvent par des avocats et ont de plus en plus la faveur des politiques publiques, tant en France qu’à l’étranger.

Se différencier
Authors: Cosserat-Gérardin Isabelle
Published: June 2023

La capacité à se différencier de l’autre ainsi que celle à y renoncer sont nécessaires au fonctionnement autonome de l’individu. Une telle souplesse nécessite le préalable d’avoir pu expérimenter la différenciation. Cet article s’attarde d’une part sur la façon dont se déploie ce processus au cours du développement, et d’autre part sur différents aspects de ce qui peut venir l’entraver. Plus largement, il tente de montrer combien ce processus est présent dans le vivant et combien il impacte le vivre ensemble.
Faire faire les gestes qui sauvent : requêtes des régulateurs pour guider les appelants dans des appels d’urgence médicale en France
Authors: Riou Marine , Tazarourte Karim , Hugenschmitt Delphine , Di Filippo Christian , Gueugniaud Pierre-Yves
Published: June 2023

Lors d’un appel d’urgence pour arrêt cardiaque, le régulateur (assistant de régulation médicale ou médecin régulateur) formule des requêtes et tente de recruter l’appelant dans un projet conjoint : réaliser des compressions thoraciques (massage cardiaque) en attendant l’arrivée des secours. À partir d’une collection de 371 requêtes dans des appels d’urgence en français, nous analysons l’empreinte institutionnelle impactant les requêtes adressées à l’appelant. Le formatage linguistique de ces requêtes s’écarte de celui observé en conversation ordinaire entre adultes, avec des variations selon que l’appelant est profane ou soignant. Les requérants (i.e. les régulateurs) ont une très forte légitimité, ce qui se traduit par l’emploi d’impératifs (« mettez-le au sol ») et de structures déclaratives au présent (« vous le mettez au sol ») ou au futur proche (« vous allez le mettre au sol »). Les régulateurs modulent leurs requêtes en fonction des contingences déontiques identifiées, parfois au moyen de préséquences, mais montrent peu d’orientation vers des contingences épistémiques.

Cet article explore les cas d’alternance des formes nominales et pronominales de troisième personne dans les débats présidentiels entre Donald Trump et Hillary Clinton (2016). Il s’agit de montrer comment certains procédés de la grammaire ordinaire, en apparence innocents : l’usage des pronoms s / he , Hillary Clinton , Donald Trump , Hillary , Donald , Trump ou Clinton pour désigner l’autre est instrumentalisé pour disqualifier l’adversaire dans l’arène politique.
Valeurs de gris/Valeur du gris : défense et illustration des demi-teintes dans l'art photographique du second xxe siècle
Authors: Versavel Dominique
Published: June 2023

Face à la montée des contrastes dans la seconde moitié du xxe siècle, un pan de la création choisit l'harmonie des demi-tons. Avec le gris pour palette, le grain d'argent pour matériau, l'écriture en demi-teintes affilie la photographie à des techniques artistiques historiques et lui confère une dimension atmosphérique, sensible, littéraire. Au-delà, le retour en grâce du gris dans les années 1980-1990 renvoie à une interrogation sur la nature même du photographique, une éthique de la nuance et une poétique du temps.
Laure Albin Guillot, artiste et/ou publiciste
Authors: Desveaux Delphine
Published: June 2023

Laure Albin Guillot (1879-1962) fut une photographe-publiciste productive, à la pratique multiforme : un portrait vante un produit capillaire, un nu évoque les affres du sommeil... Le remploi est omniprésent. Son travail pour le luxe et les laboratoires pharmaceutiques est particulier car elle signe ostensiblement ses publicités, faisant de son nom une marque. La combinaison du succès selon Albin Guillot : être artisan, artiste et entrepreneure. Investie par l’État français de projets de musées et d'expositions depuis 1925, elle fut une référence de son temps.
Vendre en Couleurs : photographie, publicité et imprimerie chez Gaston de Jongh
Authors: Schmidt Alexandra
Published: June 2023

L’étude de la production du photographe suisse Gaston de Jongh montre combien les années 1930 sont une période charnière de l'histoire de la photographie en couleurs. À cette époque, scientifiques, photographes et imprimeurs travaillent en étroite collaboration à la recherche d'un procédé accessible et de haute qualité, alors que ‒ entre l’ère de l’Autochrome et celle du Kodachrome ‒ aucune technique ne s’impose. Une attention particulière sera portée au rôle joué par la publicité comme moteur de cette recherche.
Stratégies de retournement dans les cartes postales topographiques d’artistes
Authors: Boivent Marie
Published: June 2023

La carte postale a toujours entretenu un rapport problématique avec la notion de document. Il s’agira ici d’observer la façon dont les cartes postales d’artistes rendent compte et tirent parti de la tension entre document et fiction. En reconsidérant les particularités de ce dispositif icono-textuel et son rapport singulier au temps, en s’écartant de ses formes canoniques ou en examinant ses enjeux idéologiques, économiques et politiques, les artistes analysent le regard que nous portons sur le monde.
Vie et survie de Claude Vigée
Authors: Alcoloumbre Thierry
Published: June 2023

Rédigé à la suite du décès de Claude Vigée, ce texte est un court hommage qui tente de retenir les points les plus marquants de l’œuvre du poète et de son apport vivant pour nous. Il s’organise autour de trois thèmes : la mémoire, la présence, et la lecture. L’œuvre de Vigée est une œuvre de mémoire et de témoignage ; elle affirme sa foi dans la vie et reconnaît une présence divine dans la nature et dans l’homme ; elle nous parle à travers la lecture comme un ami parle à un autre ami.
Échos prophétiques dans la poésie alsacienne de Claude Vigée
Authors: Traendlin Heidi
Published: June 2023

Claude Vigée écrivit deux longs poèmes alsaciens, Les orties noires et Le feu d’une nuit d’hiver à Jérusalem pendant la Guerre du Liban. À l’écoute des échos prophétiques, le lecteur entend une poésie d’une violence baroque arrachée au mutisme par la narration tragi-comique des événements historiques. Le recours à l’enfance judéo-alsacienne et aux prophètes Jonas et Daniel met en lumière les paradoxes criants de la condition humaine. La vision poétique de l’amandier en fleur figure le printemps de la parole, « un cri devenu chant ».
Recevoir et transmettre au cœur de la poésie de Claude Vigée
Authors: Bérard Claude Cazalé
Published: June 2023

Pour Claude Vigée, traduire c’est à la fois « un défi » et « un bonheur », une jouissance, surtout si le traducteur est poète lui-même et donc capable de rendre le sens avec le son, le rythme avec la pulsation, de maintenir avec le dévoilement l’énigme : le traducteur se voit mis au défi de franchir les obstacles de l’indicible, de l’incompatible, de l’intraduisible, de combler les distances, de jeter des ponts, de franchir les frontières, de se livrer à l’hospitalité langagière, artistique et spirituelle.
Co-Creating the Beginnings of a Culture of Belonging at the Georgia Tech Library
Authors: Freeman John Mack , Sharp Leslie N.
Published: June 2023

In 2019, the Georgia Tech Library was coming out of a painful period of transition where lofty change initiatives had created significant toxicity in the culture. New leadership was brought in to rectify the situation. Through a series of efforts that translated institutional efforts, departmental actions, and team-based support, the Georgia Tech Library turned a corner and started working towards creating a culture of belonging. In this participatory case study, the authors proposed a nested model of cultural support in which the underpinnings of individual support flow from the team, the department, and the institution. Each part has a role to play in working to create a culture of belonging, understanding that the work is never complete, and that while the example of the Georgia Tech Library has made progress, there is still much work to be done.
Challenging the Silences

Published: June 2023

The complex history of Indigenous and colonizer relations in Australia has significantly impacted the terms of engagement between Indigenous peoples with libraries and archives. The library and archive sectors are now being challenged to be responsive to Indigenous calls for action for better representation and engagement with institutions and within collections. This chapter discusses developing and evaluating an Indigenous-led staff capability program designed to increase Indigenous representation and priorities in Australian libraries. By responding to the historical gaps of Indigenous perspectives and worldviews in library, archive, and information studies curriculum, the program provides learning opportunities for participants to activate support for Indigenous self-determination and sovereignty in libraries. The program aims to increase support for implementing protocols and practices that engage appropriately with racist and offensive legacy materials in library collections.

Assessment of Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (JEDI) Initiatives in Public Libraries
Authors: Adeyemi Ismail Olatunji
Published: June 2023

This chapter focuses on the assessment of justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion (JEDI) initiatives in a public library in a developing country; a focus on Kwara State Library Board (KSLB) in Ilorin, Nigeria. This study is case-study research designed, adopting a qualitative research approach. The findings of the study showed that there is no form of diversity in the staffing at Kwara State Library Board, which will hinder its globalization. It was revealed in the study that there is no JEDI initiative in the workforce of the library. Moreover, it was found that there is no form of book censorship in Kwara State Library Board and there is diversity in the provision of information resources for the visually impaired users. It was, however, shown that there is no form of JEDI initiative as to the information services provided at Kwara State Library Board. It was concluded that Kwara State Library Board has JEDI initiatives in information resources available in the library, but it is lacking in JEDI initiatives for information services and workforce.

Published: June 2023

Cross-sector, interprofessional partnerships and community collaborations offer promise for identifying and addressing the web-like factors that entangle both literacy achievement and negative public health outcomes for vulnerable populations. Literacy centers can be a conduit to promote justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion as they exist to serve all community members. This is especially impactful when partnered with minority and disadvantaged populations. This university-based literacy center (LC) utilizes a community-driven design to attain and sustain their work. This chapter will illustrate the effort made by the LC to establish access, coordinated services, education of stakeholders, and support for students of all ages, and cultural engagement which are foundational to the work being done. Lastly, the chapter will describe the past, present, and future plans for improving community engagement.
Addressing the History of Discrimination and Bias in Past and Current Library Systems
Authors: Reed Kayla
Published: June 2023

Reviewing the history of Academic and public libraries in the United States reveals the origins and progress of inclusivity within library spaces. Although libraries take pride in being active in inclusion events and ideas, there is still a long way to go. Libraries are still prone to white bias and with that comes discrimination and exclusion of non-white, striaght, able-bodied individuals. In addition, Library Science as a field has a diversity problem and needs to improve training methods based around discrimination and biases. For libraries to move forward, library professionals must acknowledge the past and work towards reconciliation versus repentance. Past mistakes cannot be made up, actions cannot be undone. But the prevention of future instances of bias and discrimination can be achieved.
Advancing Justice Through Strategic Partnerships
Authors: Dos DeLa , Raza Saira
Published: June 2023

As academic libraries continue to investigate and invest in justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion (JEDI) efforts, there are numerous opportunities to enhance the impact of these efforts through intentional, sustainable collaborations with other administrative units of the institution—particularly student affairs. This chapter will explore the benefits and challenges of collaborating with student affairs departments for academic libraries interested in creating, maintaining, and advancing inclusive and just learning and research communities. Using a case study, the chapter highlights specific collaborative efforts to demonstrate the value of cultivating relationships across campus divisions; additionally, it offers insights into identifying opportunities to share resources and enhance the experiences of the libraries' stakeholders. While framed by the context of the situation, the chapter presents recommendations that may be effectively implemented within academic libraries at many types of institutions.

These components can be implemented in every type of library, including public, school, academic, special, and more. The “Community” section explains how to identify and connect with the library's community. The “Collection” portion explores building a diverse and inclusive collection of resources. The “Environments/Promotions” section discusses the library atmosphere, including signage, displays, and digital spaces. “Programming” explains how library programs can be designed and implemented to support justice, equity, and diversity. And “Staff and Policies” explores the rules and guidelines of the library for staff and patrons, as well as hiring and training staff for inclusivity and diversity.
The Significance of a Professional Identity Formulation for School Counselors
Authors: Reed Becky
Published: June 2023

School counselors have historically struggled with defining who they are as professionals. However, holding a strong professional identity affords counselors many benefits and helps them carve out a unique place within the field and within their school community. It also provides school counselors with a roadmap for their roles and responsibilities, a means of approaching students, families, and the community, a tool for formulating short- and long-term goals, and a way for the school community to know when they should turn to the school counselor. This chapter calls readers to think critically about the foundational underpinnings of a professional identity and how to communicate that with the school community.
Prostitution/Pro-S-Institution and “The Celebrated Marginal” Culture
Authors: Roy Suparna
Published: June 2023

Gender, as a terminology of political hiatus, is often restricted within the binarized system of ethical and unethical parameters. The marginal lives as visualized and presented within the phallogcentric Indian society is often misrepresented, which eventually results in the downward flow of powered discourses and objectified perception. Gender, as Butler described, is ‘fluid,' but the social dimension encloses such fluidity inside the horizon of patriarchal visibilities. Prostitution is a professional realm which involves selling of flesh and is commonly identified with sex-workers and gigolo. Prostitution has existed since the record of history began. Henceforth, this paper would use queer-post-structuralist-feminist theory with an empirical and observational methodology to examine Pros-institution (prostitution) under the broad domains-the historical existence and lineage of prostitutes in India before and after the advent of British, re-read the little literature on sex-work.
Question of “Inclusiveness” and Gender Identity
Authors: Agrawal Aditya , Khattri Upasana , Gaur Harshvardhan Singh
Published: June 2023

Twenty years after the signing of the United Nations' first resolution on Women, Peace, and Security Agenda 1325, the implementation of its goals is still patchy and incomplete. The problem of this chapter is based on a connection between the inscribed gender images and the unequal participation of women and men in peace and conflict work. The following research question is asked: What is the gender image in the resolutions on the women, peace, and security agenda of the United Nations? Is there a connection between the inscribed gender images and the weak participation of women in peace and conflict work? This chapter investigates which subject positions are granted to women within the resolution sphere and how it impacts their agency using a modified version of Norman Fairclough's critical discourse analysis (CDA). The debates on the “Women, Peace and Security Agenda” to which reference is made come from feminist peace and conflict research and feminist international relations.

Published: June 2023

The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted the nature of work. Involuntary work from home (IWFH), another form of telework, is increasingly promoted in sectors as a means to ensure continuity of operations in an emergency situation like a pandemic. This study includes the exploration of the relationship between involuntary work from home, communication functions, work-life balance, and its effect on work productivity and employee job satisfaction during this COVID-19 pandemic outbreak in the work situation of 100 employees at the higher educational institutions in Indonesia. The collected data of questionnaires were processed using the SEM method using the SmartPLS program. This study finds some critical factors shaping the experiences and outcomes of IWFH in pandemic situations. The success of work management depends on the communication function between employees to job satisfaction for work productivity.
Do sperm motility, morphology or associated factors predict the success rate of intrauterine insemination?
Authors: Rodrigo N. S. , Tennakoon V. , Jayawardena M.
Published: June 2023

Objective: Infertility is a global health issue among couples of reproductive age. Intrauterine insemination (IUI) is a fertility treatment method where the processed sperms are deposited in the female uterus during the time of ovulation. The aim of this study was to explore the factors predicting the success rate of IUI (IUI-SR).
Materials and Methods: A descriptive retrospective study was conducted analysing SFA and corresponding IUI reports of couples who underwent IUI from January 2017 to August 2021 at the Professorial unit of Colombo South Teaching Hospital, Sri Lanka. The data were analysed using SPSS version 22.0.
Results: A total of 140 SFA and corresponding IUI reports were used. The IUI-SR was 18.57% (n=26). A significantly high IUI-SR was noted when the female partner aged <30 years compared to >30 years (p=0.000, OR=1.87), with first two IUI attempts compared to multiple IUI attempts (p=0.017, OR=0.271), pre-processed sperm concentration >30M/ml compared to <30M/ml (p=0.019, OR=3.12), and pre-processed sperm motility (progressive and non-progressive)>40% compared to <40% {p=0.039, OR=5.31). The period of abstinence (p-value=0.222), pre-processed sperm parameters such as total count (p-value=0.093), normal form morphology (p-value=0.082), viability (p-value=0.093), or post-processed sperm parameters such as concentration, progressive motility did not significantly influence the IUI-SR.
Conclusion: A significantly high success rate of IUI can be achieved when the female partner is aged <30 years and with the first two IUI attempts. Pre-processed sperm concentration >30M/ml, and pre-processed sperm motility of progressive >32% and non-progressive <15% also predict a higher success rate of IUI.

Integrating gender into a labour economics class
Authors: Strenio Jacqueline , Rodgers Yana van der Meulen
Published: June 2023

This article argues that a systematic integration of gender into labour economics courses based on standard textbooks is both beneficial and straightforward. An undergraduate course in labour economics presents an ideal opportunity to introduce students to the importance of gender differences in economic outcomes. We provide a prototype of such a course, and we show how gender-aware content and pedagogical tools can complement a course based on a standard textbook or set of articles. We also review the most popular textbooks in labour economics and show how gender issues are mostly contained in a single chapter on labour market discrimination rather than thoroughly integrated throughout the text. In addition to exposing students to more diverse content and methodologies, mainstreaming gender into an undergraduate labour economics class can help cultivate inclusivity and belongingness in the discipline.

Authors: Jagusiak Klaudia
Published: June 2023

Imperialna polityka zagraniczna Federacji Rosyjskiej spowodowała poważne zmiany w architekturze bezpieczeństwa Europy Środkowo-Wschodniej. W artykule zostały przytoczone wyniki badań zrealizowanych w latach 2019–2020 metodą sondażu diagnostycznego za pomocą techniki wywiadu eksperckiego. Wzięło w nich udział 11 ekspertów w dziedzinie bezpieczeństwa i obronności. Przedmiotem badań były zagrożenia generowane przez Rosję w związku z jej ekspansywną polityką zagraniczną wobec Ukrainy i państw bałtyckich, a także ich wpływ na bezpieczeństwo Polski w perspektywie strategicznej. Na podstawie wyników tych badań oraz analizy literatury zostały opracowane trzy scenariusze (destabilizacyjny, poszerzania strefy wpływów i izolacyjny) dotyczące możliwych działań podejmowanych przez Federację Rosyjską w Polsce i wobec Polski.

The foreign policy of the Russian Federation as a source of threats to the Baltic states and their impact on the security of Poland
The imperial foreign policy of the Russian Federation has led to extensive changes in the security architecture of Central and Eastern Europe. In the article the results of studies were cited. Studies were carried out in the years 2019-2020, by the method of a diagnostic survey using the technique of expert interview. Eleven experts in the field of security and defense participated in the research. The threats generated by Russia in connection with its expansive foreign policy towards Ukraine and Baltic states and their impact on the security of Poland were the subject of the research. On the basis of the results of these studies and literature review, three scenarios were developed (destabilizing, expanding the sphere of influence and isolation) which concern possible actions taken by the Russian Federation in Poland and towards Poland.

Analysis of Floating Mooring Buoy as Platforms at Sea
Authors: Efendi Aco Wahyudi
Published: June 2023

Analysis of the buoyancy of this platform for use in mid-ocean land survey operations where this platform is loaded with the weight of the tools and workers on the platform.  The purpose of this research is to describe the buoyancy of the mooring buoys. The research was conducted by calculating the capacity and weight of each material used and the buoyancy of the buoy to be used as a platform for land surveys in mid-ocean, the ability of seawater to shift the size of the pontoon to be used as a platform and calculate the load on the pontoon itself to obtain the buoyancy value of the pontoon. The ability of the strapping between the pontoon and the anchor was calculated to anticipate unstable pontoon motion and must have a stress capability that exceeds the stress experienced when the pontoon is hit by a wave. The tension in the chain is greatest force is assumed, namely the force of the ballast. When the earthworks pontoon capacity is used as mooring buoy by estimating the total weight of the earthworks pontoon capacity, it is still in a semi-floating condition, although under certain conditions it will drop to as much as 95% of the estimated buoyancy pressure capacity of the mourning buoy.
Hydrogeochemical Characteristics and Suitability of Groundwater for Drinking and Irrigation from Shallow Aquifers of PG1 Watershed in Chandrapur District of Maharashtra
Authors: Deshpande S. S. , Murkute Y. A.
Published: June 2023

An endeavor has been made to understand the hydrogeochemical characteristics of groundwater from shallow aquifers of the PG1 watershed (latitudes 19°38’30” to 19°50’30” N and longitudes 79°04’00” to 79°11’00” E). The appropriateness of groundwater has also been checked for various purposes. The groundwater from the study area is alkaline and slightly saline. The Ca2+ ˃ Mg2+ ˃ Na+ ˃ K+ and HCO3- ˃ SO42- ˃ Cl- ˃ NO3- was the ascendancy of cations and anions. The earth metals (Ca + Mg) exceeded the alkali metals (Na + K). The positive correlation interpreted from the interrelationship of Na+ vs Cl- exhibited a silicate weathering process for the liberation of ions in groundwater at the rock-water interface. In addition to the non-lithological source, anthropogenic inputs were inferred, indicating the agricultural fertilizers and domestic wastewater. All the groundwater samples from the study area are suitable for drinking and domestic use. The groundwater from the study area is also suitable for irrigation with negligible exceptions.
Efficient Copper Adsorption from Aqueous Solution by Dictyuchus sterile Pellets

Published: June 2023

A common heavy metal pollutant of water resources, copper (II), can cause serious health problems or even death. Over the past few years, several filamentous fungi strains have been isolated, identified, and tested for their ability to bio-adsorb heavy metals for potential use in the bio-remediation of copper from wastewater. In this study, variables, including the dosage of fungal pellets, temperature, pH, time, initial copper concentration, and agitation rate, were assessed to select the best conditions for the adsorption of copper by Dictyuchus sterile pellets. To identify the active groups responsible for metal adsorption, microscopic observations were made using a light microscope and scanning electron microscope. The copper adsorbent was then analyzed before and after adsorption using an atomic adsorption spectrophotometer and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The ideal adsorption conditions were: fungal pellets with a wet weight of 1 g.L-1 at a temperature of 25°C, pH 5.5, the initial copper concentration of 100 ppm, and shaking at a speed of about 250 rpm for 72 h to achieve a removal efficiency rate of 95%. Copper adsorbed with the biomass of the fungal pellets was 57 mg.g-1. The use of fungal pellets would be a method that can be used to increase the surface area of adsorption and also is thought to be one of the most cost-effective ways to remove trace metals from polluted water.
