Acid-base Status and Electrolyte Changes During Propofol Based General Anesthesia in Patients Undergoing Septoplasty
Authors: Tasargol Omer , Nalbant Gokhan
Published: October 2023

Propofol is a widely used hypnotic agent globally; however, it may have adverse effects on critical patient outcomes, potentially by interfering with the organ-protective properties of other interventions. Propofol anesthesia can lead to disruptions in metabolic balance. This research aims to examine alterations in acid-base and electrolyte levels during septoplasty surgery when propofol-based anesthesia is administered. In this prospective, observational cohort study, a total of 30 patients between the ages of 18 and 65 with an American Society of Anesthesia physical status I-II were included. Arterial blood samples were collected both before the administration of propofol and five minutes after propofol injection, with the purpose of evaluating the acid-base status and electrolyte parameters including sodium, chloride, calcium and potassium. No cases of acidosis or statistically significant alterations in electrolyte levels were observed in patients following the administration of propofol. Furthermore, none of the patients exhibited any adverse effects such as cardiac failure, rhabdomyolysis, severe metabolic acidosis, or renal failure attributable to propofol during the study. We suggest that the induction dose of propofol for general anesthesia does not lead to metabolic acidosis or electrolyte disturbances.

A Score Function to Prioritize Editing in Household Survey Data: A Machine Learning Approach
Authors: Forteza Nicolás , García-Uribe Sandra
Published: October 2023

Errors in the collection of household finance survey data may proliferate in population estimates, especially when there is oversampling of some population groups. Manual case-by-case revision has been commonly applied in order to identify and correct potential errors and omissions such as omitted or misreported assets, income and debts. We derive a machine learning approach for the purpose of classifying survey data affected by severe errors and omissions in the revision phase. Using data from the Spanish Survey of Household Finances we provide the best-performing supervised classification algorithm for the task of prioritizing cases with substantial errors and omissions. Our results show that a Gradient Boosting Trees classifier outperforms several competing classifiers. We also provide a framework that takes into account the trade-off between precision and recall in the survey agency in order to select the optimal classification threshold.

Arthur Prior’s nom de plume writings in Tomorrow and the Otago Daily Times 1935-1937
Authors: Grimshaw Mike
Published: October 2023

Because of the constraints upon him as a philosophy and theology student in a small city (Dunedin) and small society (New Zealand), A.N. Prior wrote a series of letters and articles on religious and political matters for Tomorrow magazine and the Otago Daily Times under three nom de plumes: Richard Bramley, Independent Labour and (including, at least twice with Clare Prior) as John Everdean. This article discusses the content and context of these writings which enable us to gain a deeper and fuller insight into Prior’s religious and political thought at this time of change in his life.
A Modal Translational Semantics in Prior’s “Symbolism and Analogy”
Authors: Joaquin Jeremiah Joven
Published: October 2023

This paper explores a modal semantics Arthur Prior developed in his 1957 lecture, “Symbolism and Analogy.” Prior’s semantics employs a translational scheme where certain modal axioms are translated as sentences in an easily understood language. Using Prior’s semantics, we show that one can distinguish between modal logics like D, M, T, S4, and S5 without recourse to possible worlds. Finally, given the current conception of what a semantics ought to be, we consider whether Prior’s modal semantics is indeed a semantics.
Future Bias and Regret
Authors: Bnefsi Sayid R
Published: October 2023

Although the rationality of future bias figures crucially in various metaphysical and ethical arguments (Prior 1959; Parfit 1984; Fischer 2020), many philosophers have challenged future bias as being either arbitrarily motivated or irrational (Dougherty 2011; Suhler and Callender 2012; Greene and Sullivan 2015). In particular, Greene and Sullivan (2015) have claimed that future bias is irrational because it implicates two kinds of irrational planning behaviors in agents who seek to avoid regret. In this paper, I join others (Dorsey 2016; Tarsney 2017) in arguing against their claims, but for different reasons that highlight the relationship between the alleged irrational planning behaviors and certain features of regret that it shares with future bias. First, regret is dynamic, involving preferences that change over time and in inconsistent ways. Second, regret comes in degrees, meaning that we can rank our potential regrets. Because regret has these features, I explain why the future-biased agents in Greene and Sullivan’s cases do not need to act in irrational ways to avoid regret.
The True Futures: A Couple of Case Studies
Authors: Braüner Torben
Published: October 2023

In this paper we compare Arthur Prior’s well-known Ockhamistic semantics to an alternative semantics for future contingents. We show that the alternative semantics is able to distinguish between two different statements about counterfactual future possibilities, which are equivalent according to Prior’s Ockhamistic semantics.
The Past, Present and Future of the Prior Internet Resources
Authors: Sabir Fatima , Blackburn Patrick , Kofod Julie Lundbak
Published: October 2023

In 2016, researchers from six different Danish universities gathered together to begin a research project called The Primacy of Tense - A. N. Prior Now and Then. The goals of the project were as diverse as its participants, ranging from themes in philosophy and logic to explorations in information science and history. This diversity was held together by a key idea: that it is important to study the links between Prior’s canonical published work and the extensive collection of unpublished material he left behind after his death. Thus a key practical goal of the project was to further explore and transcribe Prior’s Nachlass and make more of it available on the Prior Internet Resources (PIR). In this article we describe how the PIR came about, discuss how it has changed, and suggest several directions for its further development, so it can continue fostering research into Arthur Prior’s work in the future.
A.N. Prior on John Wyndham´'s case
Authors: Riquelme Manuel González , Øhrstrøm Peter
Published: October 2023

In his paper “Opposite Number” (1957) A.N. Prior anticipates the later philosophical debate on the ideas of bifurcation in time, existence and identity. The paper was inspired by a science fiction story by John Wyndham, and it was published in 1957, i.e., the year before Kripke´s famous letter of September 3, 1958, in which the idea of branching time was suggested. Which means that important aspects of this idea and complex problems related to it, were discussed by Prior earlier than has traditionally been assumed.

Экспериментально в лабораторных условиях в азотной акустоплазме в районе запрещенных линий 654.81 нм и 658.36 нм получена спектральная эмиссионная линия большой интенсивности (до 17 раз больше соседних линий спектра первой положительной системы азота). Результаты получены как в чистой азотной акустоплазме низкого давления (несколько сот Па), так и в различных смесях, содержащих азот, в том числе в смеси CO2:N2:He = 1:1:8. Полученные результаты объясняются акустоплазменным состоянием разряда и аналогом комбинационного рассеяния, снимающими некоторые из квантово-механических запретов. Рассмотрено также возможное влияние силы Кориолиса.

Experimentally, under laboratory conditions in the nitrogen acoustoplasma, in the region of the forbidden lines at 654.81 nm and 658.36 nm, a spectral emission line of high intensity was obtained (up to 17 times more than the neighboring lines of the first positive system of nitrogen). The results were obtained both in pure low-pressure nitrogen acoustoplasma (several hundreds of Pa) and in various mixtures containing nitrogen, including the CO2:N2:He = 1:1:8 mixture. The results obtained are explained by the acoustoplasmic state of the discharge and an analogue of Raman scattering, which remove some of the quantum mechanical prohibitions. The possible influence of the Coriolis force is also considered.

Published: October 2023

Technology integration for tenured teachers improves and enhances their skills in the teaching process. The study aims to explore the lived experiences, coping mechanism, and insights of tenured teachers in integrating technology. The researcher collected data from 17 Araling Panlipunan Tenured Teachers in high school from the Division of Tagum City using purposive sampling. This study employed a phenomenological approach and utilized an interview guide for in-depth interview and focus group discussion. The results of the study were analyzed using thematic analysis. In the lived experiences of tenured teachers, there are three emerging themes; facing challenges brought by ICT innovations; experiencing lack of know-how and interest; experiencing difficulty in access to resources and learning materials. Further, on tenured teachers coping mechanism there are also three themes; consultation with peers, class discovery and experiential learning; self-determination and perseverance. Lastly, on the insights of tenured teachers, three themes emerged; improving skills and adapting to change, best to share and learn from peers; never lose hope and determination. Results revealed that it is a challenge for tenured teachers to innovate strategies due to lack of know-how and difficulty or limited access to technology infrastructures. However, teachers were able to overcome these challenges through peer support, positive attitude and discovering classroom strategies which promotes experiential learning. Furthermore, tenured teachers see technology integration valuable since it improves their skills and adaptability to the technological changes and enable them to cope and never lose hope despite their tenure. This implies that on-going professional development plays a relevant role in improving tenured teachers’ skills and delivery of classroom instruction with technology integration.

Published: October 2023

In this article, the algorithm of UAV positioning based on ground check points is considered. Differ from the most publications, in which UAV coordinates are determined by GPS or/and IMU, the proposed algorithm used results of image processing technology. Thank to image processing technique, the coordinates of ground check points in camera’s frame are determined, then UAV coordinates will also be determined. With the measured parameters such as UAV’s orientation and attitude, camera’s elevation and azimuth angle, position of UAV relative to ground check points is determined, then other UAV coordinates are also determined. The proposed algorithm is mathematically proved and verified by symulation.

Authors:   UNESCO
Published: October 2023

This publication, developed in cooperation between the Social and Human Sciences sector of UNESCO and Fundación La Caixa, launches an intellectual partnership focused on challenging the equality- efficiency trade off as a conceptual underpinning of analytical models for contemporary public policy making. Finding more effective solutions in our way forward requires “out-of-the-box” thinking, innovative frameworks and experimentation, complex system thinking, and more than anything a real commitment with the more vulnerable in our populations. UNESCO is well established in this area with a proven track record to engage in translating new ideas and knowledge into meaningful policy exchanges, using research and innovation. The objective is to develop a new intellectual approach for our common future, investing inclusively in people, places and the planet for resilience.

Study of Uranium and Thorium Fuels in Breed-and-Burn Mode
Authors: Yang Kun
Published: October 2023

The formation of fissile nuclei through breeding conversion is a hot topic in academic research, as it provides a continuous source of nuclear fuel for nuclear reactors. Fast neutron reactors, which have been extensively studied, use natural uranium or low-enriched uranium as the nuclear fuel, achieving burning after uranium-plutonium conversion. Thorium, as another potential fissile fuel, can theoretically be converted into nuclear reactor fuel through the thorium-uranium cycle. In this study, the physical evolution process of nuclear fuel in a specific core parameter is simulated using the Monte Carlo program, and the performance differences of the thorium-uranium cycle and uranium-plutonium cycle in achieving in situ breeding-burning (Breed-and-Burn, B&B) mode are analyzed using neutron balance analysis method. The optimal ratio conditions for achieving self-sustained B&B burning in a thorium-uranium fuel mixed core are investigated. The study shows that for traditional solid-state nuclear reactor cores with a lower fuel proportion, thorium-breeding fuel has poor neutron economy compared to uranium-based breeding fuel, making it more difficult to achieve the B&B mode.

This paper suggests a unified methodology for the management of Guaranteed Minimum Accumulation Benefit contracts. Using a non-Gaussian setting in line with manyof the stylized features observed in the market, we address the pricing, hedging, andrisk control of these contracts from an operational risk management perspective forpractitioners. Since the well-known and widely used delta-hedging ratio is not optimal,one of the most important problems raised is the issue of hedging. The literature suggests many theoretical solutions whose efficiency from a computational point of viewis controversial and rarely studied. From the empirical part of the paper, the authorsgive a simple rule for designing a hedging policy appropriate to the actual financialenvironment that proves useful both for insurers and regulators.

Authors: BOULERNE SANDRINE , NIVOIX SOPHIE
Published: October 2023

On the equity market, the ‘other January effect’ indicates that the returns for the month of January may have predictive power for the following months of February to December. The effects of this calendar anomaly on the equity markets of the countries of Central and Eastern Europe have been rarely studied and are analysed here in terms of the effects on eleven stock markets from January 1994 to December 2017. The results reveal the existence of an anomaly of this type for most of the stock markets studied but that there is no increase in the associated level of risk. A profitable investment strategy can be used to extract abnormal returns related to this market inefficiency.
