Identification of the Representative Point for Soil Moisture Storage Using a Precipitation History Model
Authors: Kim Sanghyun , Lee Eunhyung
Published: November 2023

Soil water storage is an essential variable in hydrological processes at the hillslope scale. This study proposed models for predicting soil water based on the precipitation history. According to the mathematical analysis of soil water storage on the hillslope scale, hydrological fluxes can be effectively expressed in terms of the weighted time series of precipitation and evapotranspiration. Moreover, the impact of evapotranspiration on soil water storage was incorporated into the model structure as an autoregressive process. A new soil water prediction model was developed through the integration of the soil moisture stochastic process into the structure of a precipitation-based model for the hillslope scale. Intensive soil moisture and rainfall data collected over two years were then used to test the performance of the developed models for two different hillslopes. The proposed model exhibited a better ability to find representative points for soil water storage than either existing precipitation-based models or the temporal stability method.
Sensitivity and bifurcation analysis of an analytical model of a trapped object in an externally excited acoustic radiation force field
Authors: Akbarzadeh Mehdi
Published: November 2023

Acoustic radiation force (ARF) is a nonlinear acoustic phenomenon for which the acoustic field properties and, to an even greater extent, the explicit dynamics of the object, have received limited attention in the published literature to date. Any oscillations due to the flow field
or external perturbations are thereby negligible while the particle is trapped in a stable position. By changing the viewpoint from the acoustic field to the dynamics of a levitated particle, the amplitude and frequency of external oscillation is non-negligible, we ask the question of how
external excitation changes the dynamics of the object. We explicitly derive an analytical formulation of a trapped object in the form of a Duffing-like equation with its constants being defined by the object itself, the fluid, the acoustic wave, and the external vibration properties. In this
case, the bifurcation behaviour is studied, and we show this together with a sensitivity analysis to represent correct dynamic behaviour in certain regimes of the bifurcation diagram.
Validation of a hybrid deterministic-diffuse approach for prediction of diffuse vibration transmission across finite plate junctions
Authors: Stalmans Wannes
Published: November 2023

Accurate numerical prediction of vibration transmission across junctions is important since this flanking vibration transmission can have a substantial influence on the sound insulation of a system. An important parameter for quantifying vibration transmission across junctions is the
coupling loss factor commonly used in Statistical Energy Analysis (SEA). A hybrid deterministicdiffuse approach is adopted here to calculate coupling loss factors across finite junctions. With this approach some parts of the structure are modelled as diffuse subsystems, for example the plates
connected to the junction, while other parts, for example a connecting element, can be modelled as a deterministic subsystem. In this way the finite size and structural details of the junction are considered. The hybrid deterministic-diffuse approach is compared to Monte-Carlo simulations
of a detailed finite element model where masses are randomly distributed over the plates connected to the junction and the ensemble average coupling loss factor is computed. In this validation, both direct coupling between plates and coupling through intermediate elements are considered. The
coupling loss factors from both methods agree well at higher frequencies, where the diffuse field assumption is valid and no strong coupling between the out-of-plane subsystems is present.
Systematic design of 2D and 3D vibroacoustic fluidic cavity sensors using topology optimization
Authors: Belahurau Yauheni
Published: November 2023

In this research we investigate a novel sensor concept, which utilizes a standing acoustic wave inside a liquid-filled cavity to probe volumetric properties of a fluid analyte. However, realizing a high-Q cavity resonator is a challenge because of low acoustic impedance contrast between
liquids and solids. In our previous studies, we surround the cavity resonator with phononic crystal layers that provide a strong cavity resonance within the phononic band gap. The quality factor drastically depends on the geometry of the metamaterial lattice. Therefore, the main aim of this
study is to find an optimal material layout of the solid domain around the cavity by employing topology optimization. We formulate the optimization problem as maximization of the Q-factor of the cavity resonance. We consider the sensor as a fully coupled vibroacoustic system, taking into account
material losses and frequency-dependent material properties. Since resonance problems are very sensitive to minor variations in geometry, we apply a gray scale suppression constraint to minimize the influence of geometrical uncertainties and make the optimized designs suitable for additive
manufacturing
Linear vs nonlinear structural vibration behavior of steel-timber composite building elements
Authors: Chocholaty Bettina
Published: November 2023

Composite structures including wood are increasingly coming into focus due to rising demand for sustainability and, at the same time, high-rise buildings, and long-span components. In this context, steel-timber hybrid building elements are gaining more attention since they offer sufficient
load-carrying properties. However, such lightweight structures increase vibration levels and sound transmission. Accurate understanding of the structures is therefore indispensable. Consequently, herein, a novel steel-timber composite building element is studied concerning its vibrational
behavior numerically and experimentally. Especially the influence of the joints between steel and timber components is investigated by considering nonlinear behavior due to frictional effects. Therefore, amplitude-dependency regarding eigenfrequencies and damping properties as well as multi-harmonic
responses are studied. Hence, nonlinearities are revealed by slight amplitude-dependency and the occurrence of higher harmonics.
Two methods to improve sound transmission loss in the coincidence region
Authors: Hall Andrew
Published: November 2023

The building acoustics industry has seen little development away from traditional homogeneous materials. With the inevitable densification of housing, the severity of noise pollution within residential living environments is escalating. While the insulation of high-frequency audible
sound through walls is often relatively good between 1 to 5kHz, the overall acoustic performance classification of lightweight wall systems often suffers in this region due to the coincidence effect. This effect results from a more efficient coupling between the incident sound waves and the
bending waves initiated within the wall panels. We present an investigation into two contrasting methods to improve the coincidence region. These are i) a multi-layer approach, and ii) the introduction of periodic and quasi-periodic geometrical patterns in the distribution of the mass of the
panels. These methods are intended to improve the attenuation of the bending waves by altering a panel's effective stiffness and creating band gaps due to back scattering. Diffuse field results were then used to verify computational models of vibroacoustic transmission based on two different
approaches. The experimental and modelling results are in good qualitative agreement and indicate that the addition of impedance change features or surface variations sees a band of significantly attenuation within the targeted band indicating an effective method for either removing or shifting
the coincidence effect outside of the most important part of the audible frequency region.
Effect of nonlinear inertia and Duffing-type nonlinearity on the dynamic behaviour of nonlinear parametrically excited cantilever beams with tip mass
Authors: Aghamohammadi Mehrdad
Published: November 2023

The dynamic response of parametrically excited cantilever beams with a tip mass (PECBM) is investigated in this paper. Employing the Method of Multiple Scales (MMS) and the Method of Varying Amplitudes (MVA), the frequency-response equations are obtained and the stability of the response
is analysed. MVA results show that, for frequency ranges around the principal parametric resonance, the term containing a linear combination of nonlinear inertia and Duffing-type nonlinearity in the frequency response equation can tend to zero, resulting in an exponential growth of the vibrations.
These results are supported by numerical simulations obtained by direct integration (DI) of the equation of motion, while the MMS fails to predict the critical frequency at which this phenomenon occurs. Furthermore, based on the MVA, a criterion for determining the hardening and softening
characteristics of PECBM is developed, showing that both Duffing nonlinearity and nonlinear inertia terms contribute to determining this characteristic. To verify the results, experimental measurements of the response of a PECBM are presented, showing good agreement with analytical and numerical
results. It is shown that the mass added at the cantilever tip can change the characteristics of the system's dynamics, enhancing the softening behaviour of the PECBM.
Modelling of noise due to impulsive excitation using nonlinear time series analysis
Authors: Adams Christian
Published: November 2023

Early acoustic machine design phases should target safety and comfort requirements, minimising the risk of hearing damage and noise exposure and ensuring a pleasant machine sound. Therefore, physical mechanisms of sound generation, propagation and radiation need to be modelled. Today,
nonlinear physical relations in vibroacoustic models such as contact problems are mostly linearised. The aim of this paper is to increase the prediction quality of vibroacoustic models so that physical mechanisms behind sound generation due to complex physical, nonlinear phenomena can be better
understood. The focus is on sound generation due to impulsive excitation, which is a significant sound generation mechanism in machinery, e.g. considering gears, forming processes (e.g. punching), or road loads of vehicles. We describe a model setup to simulate impulsive excitation on a laboratory
scale, where structural vibrations can be analysed. Physical correlations including nonlinear correlations could be identified using nonlinear time series analysis. Recurrence plots will be used to identify features such as phase space contraction, e.g. to identify damping. These features
form the basis to deepen the physical understanding of machinery noise, to contribute to enhanced acoustic machine designs and to enhance data-driven modelling using sparse regression in future research.
Elastic wave propagation in one-dimensional phononic crystal with defects
Authors: Santos Victor
Published: November 2023

The possibilities of manipulating the behavior of propagating waves using only the appropriate choice of materials is a field of interest in engineering. Phononic Crystals (PnCs) come precisely as a proposal for a device to work with waves, defined as artificial materials obtained from
a periodic arrangement of unit cells. This configuration can provide frequency bands where waves cannot propagate (bandgaps). However, this property can be directly influenced by the break in the periodicity pattern of the structure when geometric and/or material parameters are changed in
a single part of the unit cell. New propagating modes appear inside the bandgaps, presenting characteristics of localized modes. Different length and diameter combinations are applied to establish the defective cell and verify the existence of defect modes that reveal the degree of influence
on the creation of these new modes within the bandgap region. Spectral Element (SEM) and Finite Element (FE) methods are adopted to model the PnCs analysis and the frequency response functions (FRFs). The initial results show that the PnCs with geometric defects have an expressive sensitivity
to variations in geometric parameters, mainly variations in the length of the defective cell. A break in periodicity in terms of material will also be performed.
Comparing acoustic prediction methods for additively manufactured porous structures
Authors: Johnston William
Published: November 2023

While macroscale methods for predicting the acoustic properties of porous structures have been popular in the past, they often require time-consuming manufacturing and testing workflows. Meanwhile, microscale approaches allow the prediction of transport parameters based exclusively
on a periodic structure's unit cell geometry. Here, we compare these methods to predict the characteristic impedance of additively manufactured porous structures. We use the microscale approach to estimate the geometry's transport parameters, then predict the characteristic properties using
the Johnson-Champoux-Allard (JCA) model. We measure the acoustic properties of the printed structures using a normal incidence impedance tube and estimate the transport parameters using an inverse characterization approach. We use the twothickness method as a macroscale approach to predict
the characteristic properties from the measured surface impedances of two sample thicknesses. Finally, we compare these characteristic prediction methods. Our results show that the inverse characterization and twothickness methods offer the closest match to the measured values at low frequencies.
Effect of room acoustics on speech intelligibility under noise between native and non-native listeners
Authors: Hui Justine
Published: November 2023

The current study investigates the effect of room acoustics on the perception of speech between native and non-native listeners of English. The study particularly focuses on how the benefit of spatial release from masking (SRM) is affected by room acoustics for the different listener
groups. The result of subjective listening test shows that SRM is observed both from native and non-native listeners, however the drop in the speech intelligibility is more significant in the non-native listeners when the sound sources are located farther away from the listener.
Methods of vibration field control using actuator array for improving the panel speaker sound
Authors: Ih Jeong-Guon
Published: November 2023

The panel speaker occupies a small volume, so it has significant merit potential in application to modern machines and devices in the age of Internet-of-Things. However, the severe fluctuation in the radiated sound spectrum due to the multi-modal vibration behaviour of finite panels
has been an inherent problem. The application of damping can reduce the resonance effect, but the frequency range is limited to a narrow band. Actively, the actuator array can control the vibration field of the plate. The vibration rendering for the desired vibration pattern or the elimination
of some modes is possible by controlling the modal contribution or the boundary impedance in the frequency range of interest. An inverse formulation, which is analogous to the acoustic field rendering problems, should be solved to determine the actuators' control gain for achieving the desired
response. In this presentation, several methods for active array control of the vibration field for panel speakers are compared: vibration field rendering using the modal approach, direct inverse technique fulfilling the desired sound radiation, boundary impedance control using traveling wave,
and sparse actuator array allocation method. Their merits and demerits are discussed regarding the future potential in various applications.

Parmi les grandes variantes du NT, prend place Actes 8/37 : l’eunuque éthiopien a-t-il dû prononcer une confession de foi, pour être baptisé, ou la lui a-t-on ajoutée par la suite, et pour quelle raison ? Jenny Heimerdinger, qui se prépare à enseigner l’exégèse et la critique textuelle, en Angleterre, résume ici un long travail et motive sa réponse prudente.
Morale protestante et morale catholique d’après et après Paul Tillich
Authors: Schwab Claude
Published: November 2023

Un des points classiques de divergence entre les pensées morales protestante et catholique est la question de la loi naturelle. Le but de Claude Schwab est d’examiner la position de Paul Tillich sur cette question : comment pose-t-il le problème ? quelle est la relation avec l’ensemble de sa réflexion sur la moralité ? Il confronte ensuite la position de Tillich avec des textes catholiques contemporains et tente de l’actualiser face aux défis posés aujourd'hui aux éthiques confessionnelles.
Plaidoyer pour une théologie systématique et naturelle. Partant du problème de la communication avec les extra-terrestres, avec une prise en considération particulière de François Rabelais

Le texte où Zipporah (Séphora) circoncit son fils — ou son mari — s’éclaire ici par une référence au récit de Jacob au Jabboq et par une allusion à la nuit pascale. Thomas Römer montre que l’étrangère contribue ainsi à sa propre intégration, mais il souligne également combien la théologie du texte résiste à une lecture réductrice.
«Expliquer l’Écriture par elle-même» : origine et vicissitudes d’une maxime «protestante»
Authors: Siegert Folker
Published: November 2023

La maxime en question a été proposée et mise en pratique par la philologie critique alexandrine. Longtemps, le judaïsme et le christianisme ont été réticents à l’égard de cet art. Après une annonce faite par Luther, suivie d’un retour vers des principes non critiques, le savoir-faire des alexandrins est reçu depuis le XVIIIe siècle. Folker Siegert écrit ici un chapitre de la longue et douloureuse histoire des rapports entre foi et raison.
Un mouvement catéchétique contemporain : les Écoles du Dimanche
Authors: Zorn Jean-François
Published: November 2023

La Société des Écoles du Dimanche est probablement l’un des services des Églises protestantes les plus utilisés, mais les mutations des modèles catéchétiques qui déterminent son fonctionnement demeurent méconnues. Jean-François Zorn lève un coin du voile en mettant en lumière les rapports souvent tendus entre une Société issue du Réveil et des Églises, en France particulièrement, à la recherche simultanée de leur identité confessionnelle et de leur unité. La catéchèse protestante vit aujourd'hui ces tensions. C’est une chance, car cette catéchèse offre aux enfants et aux adolescents à la fois un lieu identitaire et un espace de dialogue.
Polarité dialectique : cheminer sur la route ou construire la cité ?
Authors: Bodi Daniel
Published: November 2023

Dans la recherche d’un modèle conceptuel pour élaborer une théologie biblique unissant les messages de l’Ancien et du Nouveau Testaments, Daniel Bodi propose de suivre celui des «polarités dialectiques». De la Genèse à l’Apocalypse, deux thèmes principaux sont utilisés pour exprimer le paradoxe qui caractérise la vie du croyant : la route et le cheminement, sous l’égide d’un Dieu lui-même en perpétuel mouvement, et la construction de la cité éternelle, lieu de rassemblement des croyants de toutes les époques et symbole d’un gouvernement fondé sur la justice. Ces thèmes semblent être une transposition théologique d'une dialectique socio-économique et historique : les villes naissent du croisement des chemins, comme l’illustre l’exemple de l’antique ville de Mari.
Les enjeux exégétiques et théologiques du discours sur l’élection dans l’Ancien Testament
Authors: Römer Thomas
Published: November 2023

Thomas Römer analyse la notion de «peuple élu» dans son enracinement vétérotestamentaire. Moyennant une étude rigoureuse des textes de la Bible hébraïque, il montre comment le discours sur l’élection a varié selon les circonstances et les époques, comment d’autre part ce discours exprime des positions divergentes et concurrentes. A la possible utilisation de cette notion comme arme idéologique dangereuse, il oppose la perspective «universaliste» qui se dégage de la geste d’Abraham, où l’élection devenue large et élastique inclut le Judéen et VArabe, et par suite quiconque se reconnaît dans cet ancêtre «choisi par Dieu».
Recherches nouvelles sur les «Évangiles latins de l’enfance» de M. R. James et sur un récit apocryphe mal connu de la naissance de Jésus
Authors: Kaestli Jean-Daniel
Published: November 2023

Les «Évangiles latins de l’enfance» ont été peu étudiés depuis l’édition de M. R. James en 1927. La prochaine publication dans la Series apocryphorum des Évangiles irlandais de l’enfance jette un éclairage nouveau sur cette compilation latine qui combine le Protévangile de Jacques, l’Évangile du Pseudo-Matthieu et une 3e Source non identifiée racontant la naissance de Jésus. Les récits irlandais du Leabar Breac et du Liber Flavus Fergusiorum permettent de remonter à un état antérieur à la compilation, pas encore influencé par le Pseudo-Matthieu. Ils conservent parfois des éléments du texte de la Source qui ont disparu dans le latin. Le récit original de cette source inconnue est indépendant du Protévangile de Jacques et pourrait être aussi ancien que lui. C’est ce qui ressort de l’étude par Jean-Daniel Kaestli de quelques motifs caractéristiques : l’impôt lié au recensement, la pauvreté de Joseph, le rôle des fils de Joseph, le lieu de la nativité, l’épisode de la sage-femme.
Que faire du Jubilé ?
Authors: Nouis Antoine
Published: November 2023

The turn of century presents a challenge to the Churches’ public proclamation. It gives them an opportunity of focusing attention on the message of the Jubilee as much more than a precept of the First Testament : the Jubilee is a perspective within which is placed the Gospel preaching concerning the Kingdom. After pointing out the importance of the Jubilee throughout the Scriptures, Antoine Nouis opens up possibilities for actualizing relevant preaching.
Sem, une clé de lecture pour Babel (Gn 11/1-9), ou de l'importance du contexte
Authors: Briffard Colette
Published: November 2023

C. Briffard sets out to demonstrate that thorough attention to the context of an extract, just as much as that given to the obstacles met by the reader, proves to be extremely revealing in terms of meaning production. Empowered by such tools, the reader of biblical texts will be able to build seminal hypotheses as to what the last editors of a text could have meant.
Exégèse, herméneutique et actualisation : étapes successives ou interaction dynamique ? La notion d'exégèse homilétique
Authors: Zorn Jean-François
Published: November 2023

The use of a step by step method is necessary for the preparation of a sermon. One method suggests that every serious preacher needs to follow a three-step process : Exegesis, Interpretation, and Application. With the help of research done by experts in semiotics and homiletics, J.-F. Zorn shows how this method neglects the preacher who reads the Bible passage as well as the audience who listens to his sermon. When these two factors are taken into consideration during the preparation of a sermon, these three steps are viewed differently. They become interactive operations that are capable of re-establishing a living relationship between the ancient Bible passage and the new message of the preacher.
L'autorité charismatique au cœur de l’Église : pentecôtisme et débat sectaire
Authors: Fath Sébastien
Published: November 2023

In the public debate about “sects” and “cuits”, Pentecostalism is a key subject of study, if only because it is the fastest growing religious movement of the twentieth century. How should Pentecostalism be defined in this debate ? In some ways, Pentecostalism can be seen as a way of conjuring “protestant precarity” through the means of charisma. Pentecostalism seems to use, like Catholicism, vertical authority, but on an individual and charismatic basis (the pastor-prophet, who receives his charisma from God) instead of an institutional and sacred basis (“the Holy Church”). This “pentecostal prosperity” based on charisma might tend to overemphasize authority (and lead , at an extreme, to a sectarian drift), but various modes of regulation exist to counter this trend (increasing recourse to the Bible, better training of pastors, growing importance of theology).
Éthique et communauté dans l’Épître de Jacques. Réflexions sur son Sitz im Leben
Authors: Theissen Gerd
Published: November 2023

This article wants to demonstrate that the letter of James drafts an autonomous ethics for Early Christians, who want to be free from this world, i. e. free from the structures of the household (the oikos) and of the city (the polis). By his polemics against the riches he opposes on the one hand tendencies within the communities, that the wealthy patrons of houses become benefactors and patrons of the congregations. On the other hand his polemics against the riches is aimed at the political elite outside of the Christian communities. This elite had exclusively the right to sentence s.o. to death. Being independent of the structures of this world (i.e. this society) the Christian congregation is based on «the law of liberty». That is why the teachers have such an importance. They represent the norms and traditions, which form the Christian identity and they are responsible that the congregation follows them in an autonomous way according to their own rules.
Le pasteur : identité sociale et libération évangélique
Authors: Lienhard Fritz
Published: November 2023

In contemporary society, being involved in a professionnal activity seems to condition social recognition. This might be described in theological terms as a sinful attitude of justification by works. Nevertheless, from the point of view of a theology of grace, it is not to be simply rejected, but it needs to be broken in order to be lived in a different way. For the pastor, this means that he should live his ministry as a profession. He has particular skills for preaching the gospel. To professionalise the ministry leads to distinguish the person from the minister without separating them, and it allows the pastoral ministry to be carried on within the horizon of society at large rather than within the protestant subculture.
Le modèle d’emprisonnement des quakers : la notion wéberienne d’ascétisme séculier appliquée à la réhabilitation des criminels
Authors: Schmid Muriel
Published: November 2023

En 1829, les autorités quakers de Philadelphie ouvrent un nouveau pénitencier pour la partie est de l’État. Basé sur l’isolement total et continu des prisonniers, ce modèle d’emprisonnement sera à l’origine d’une controverse internationale sur les moyens de réhabilitation des criminels. De part et d’autre du débat, les arguments prennent racine dans des perspectives théologiques. Muriel Schmid propose de mettre au jour certaines de ces perspectives et d’en discuter les enjeux.

La question du Jésus historique chez Ernst Käsemann revisitée à partir de la «troisième quête»
Authors: Gisel Pierre
Published: November 2023

During the 1950s, under the influence of Ernst Käsemann, a “second quest of the historical Jesus” resumed in its own way the quest which occupied liberal theology and secular culture from the Enlightenment throughout the 19th century. Pierre Gisel outlines its profile, its context, and outcomes, thus revisiting 19th century research (Strauss, Hamack, etc.) and what stopped it after WWI. Situating this from the perspective of the “third quest” initiated in the United States two decades ago, characterised by a non-canonical approach and a deeper understanding of the diversity within 1st century Judaism, he raises some fundamental theological questions.
Entre el amor romántico y el policonsumo de cuerpos
Authors: Navarro Martínez Eva , Díaz Ledesma Lucas , Garzaniti Ramiro
Published: November 2023

En el presente artículo se busca comprender los núcleos de articulación entre los debates del giro afectivo y las lógicas de homosocialización en usuarixs de la app Grindr. Desde un anclaje trans-inter-disciplinar, se analizan discusiones contemporáneas en torno a los vínculos sexorrománticos a partir de las narrativas de algunos perfiles de usuarixs sobre lo que se busca del potencial encuentro. A partir de esta aproximación, emergen dos maneras de gramaticalizar las formas de desplegar emociones, afectos y sentimientos: por un lado, un modelo hegemonizante del amor romántico heteronormado como performance sacrificial agápica, en cuya lógica se brinda todo sin esperar nada a cambio; por otro, la mercantilización de la subjetividad y el devenir de los cuerpos en meros andamiajes de policonsumo. Se engarza así una tensión en la que ambos polos se retroalimentan como las dos caras de un mismo orden afectivo condensado por las lógicas del mercado y la normalidad sexo-genérica. Este entramado bifronte lleva a preguntarnos por las condiciones de emergencia de otros modos de habitar las trayectorias erótico-afectivas por fuera de los márgenes de la mono y heteronorma.

Safety and Efficacy of Single Anastomosis Sleeve Ileal (SASI) Bypass Surgery on Obese Patients with Type II Diabetes Mellitus during a One-Year Follow-up Period: A Single Center Cohort Study
Authors: Mousavi Naeini Seyed Morteza , Toghraee Mir Mohsen , Malekpour Alamdari Nasser
Published: November 2023

Background: We aimed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of single anastomosis sleeve ileal (SASI) bypass surgery on obese patients with type II diabetes mellitus during a one-year follow-up period. Methods: We included patients with a body mass index (BMI) more than 35 kg/m2 and at least one-year history of type II diabetes mellitus. We excluded patients aged under 25 or above 66 years, those who were not candidates for surgery, needed another bariatric surgery, and those not willing to participate in the study. All the patients were visited in the outpatient office on the 10th and 45th days as well as the 3rd month of the post-operative period until the end of the first year. Results: in this study, we investigated 14 male (23.0%) and 47 female (77.0%) morbidly obese patients with type II diabetes mellitus who underwent SASI bypass. The mean excess weight loss (%EWL) was 60.99±15.69 and the mean total weight loss (%TWL) was 30.39±6.52 at the end of the one-year follow up. Finally, 44 patients (72.1%) had a complete and 15 patients (24.6%) had partial remission of type II diabetes mellitus. Of note, severe complications were recorded in two patients (3.2%). Paired t test analysis demonstrated a significant decrease for fasting plasma sugar (FBS) after one-year follow-up in comparison with FBS before surgery (P<0.0001). Furthermore, this difference was observed in HbA1c (P<0.0001). Conclusion: SASI bypass is an effective method for weight loss and controlling type II diabetes mellitus.

Background: Patients diagnosed with COVID-19 who require intensive care unit (ICU) demand multidisciplinary care, which is decisive for their intervention and prognosis. The objective of this study was to identify the risk factors for mortality in critically ill COVID-19 patients in Bogota, Colombia. 
Methods: This was a retrospective descriptive study (from March 2020 to February 2021) which included critically ill COVID-19 patients admitted to the ICU. Electronic medical records were reviewed, and demographic and clinical data were collected. A logistic regression model was performed. Mortality was considered as the dependent variable, and the clinical and demographic variables as explanatory factors. 
Results: We included 562 patients with an overall mortality of 42%, associated comorbidities such as diabetes mellitus (51%), grade 2 obesity (75%), and age over 65 years (51%). The logistic regression model showed that patients over 65 years of age [odds ratio (OR): 3.23 (2.28 - 4.59)]; diabetes mellitus [OR: 1.68 (1.16 - 2.44)], and grade 2 obesity [OR: 3.5 (1.31 - 9.77)] were risk factors for mortality in COVID-19 patients at the ICU. 
Conclusion: This study reported that age over 65 years, diabetes mellitus, and grade 2 obesity were risk factors for death in critically ill COVID-19 patients.

En los últimos 15 años se ha incrementado en más de un 30 % la necesidad de diálisis en Argentina. En esta población existe una alta prevalencia de desnutrición, la cual se conoce como desgaste proteico energético (DPE). Su diagnóstico y tratamiento oportuno es esencial ya que es un gran predictor de morbimortalidad. Dentro de las opciones de tratamiento se encuentra la nutrición parenteral intradialítica (NPID), la cual se recomienda luego de la realización de consejería nutricional; el uso de suplemento nutricional oral (SNO) y nutrición enteral (NE). La indicación de la NPID debe evaluarse individualmente teniendo en consideración los criterios de inicio, sus ventajas, desventajas y las contraindicaciones de su uso, como así también diferentes barreras que existen para su implementación. La presente revisión abordará dichos puntos tanto para la población adulta como pediátrica.

Authors:   , Hirschfeld Juan José
Published: November 2023

El presente estudio evalúa la situación actual de la organización objeto de estudio, el Hospital Interzonal de Agudos José de San Martín de La Plata, y puntualmente la de su Unidad de Cuidados Críticos, en base a un diagnóstico interno que permite identificar un déficit en la gestión que atraviesa a la institución en su conjunto, llevándola por caso a no contar hoy con indicadores relevantes que permitan planificar, gestionar, organizar, dirigir y controlar mecanismos oportunos para poder brindar servicios eficientes y efectivos. Se centra especial atención en el área crítica como consecuencia de las condiciones internas que impactan en el desarrollo de la atención de la salud. Son esas condiciones internas las que serán identificadas y analizadas a lo largo del presente documento. El trabajo comienza con una breve presentación del tema a desarrollar, orientada a mostrar la situación general de la organización frente a la situación compleja de salud que supone la demanda de atención producida por el virus Covid-19, describiendo el servicio de área crítica con su desarrollo. Posteriormente, en relación con el concepto de gestión eficiente y efectiva que refiere a la capacidad de dar respuestas oportunas a la población, se describirán los conceptos teóricos que serán los lineamientos que permiten otorgar una estructura de referencia al análisis propuesto. Adicionalmente se procederá a la descripción de la relevancia que tiene el sector de la salud en la atención de las patologías críticas suscitadas en la actualidad. Se definen luego los objetivos que dirigen el desarrollo del trabajo, su justificación, el alcance y los límites en los que se encuentra enmarcado. Finalmente se desarrollará el proceder metodológico seguido para su análisis. En la parte final se incluirá el uso de las herramientas de gestión aplicadas con el estudio de la factibilidad del plan de intervención, junto a un modelo Canvas para análisis de una organización pública. Del mismo modo, se hará uso del modelo de rivalidad de Michel Porter, de un análisis de ponderación Pestel y de las fuerzas competitivas de la institución en relación con una organización privada, lo que permite plantear respuestas frente a una situación de crisis recurrente y cambiante. El trabajo culmina con conclusiones respecto de la propuesta de plan de intervención y mejora.

THE IMPACT OF AUDITOR CHARACTERISTICS ON PROFESSIONAL SKEPTICISM: THE CASE OF LEBANON
Authors: Diya Lama
Published: November 2023

When deciding to purchase an entity's stock or debt instruments, economic factors must have access to reliable information. Without reliable and up-to-date financial information, provided by the firm in the form of financial statements, these choices are unlikely to be successful. It is the responsibility of the auditor, as an independent party to the financial statements, to detect fraud on the financial statements; auditors are tasked with ensuring that the financial statements are true, fair, presented honestly in accordance with the actual situation of the company, and free from material misstatements caused by fraud or error in order to obtain reliable financial statements. The research implemented a quantitative methodology for data collection. The survey was based on the variables of this research and distributed using Google forms for data collection. The data were analyzed using the SPSS statistical tool to test hypotheses. The research covered the workforce engaged in accounting and auditing practices in Lebanese accounting firms. The population of the research includes around 1,000 employees. When setting the research constraints, which include a 95% confidence interval, a 5 % margin of error, and a 50% population proportion, after making the desired calculations the approximate number of respondents that should be addressed through the means of a survey is 201 respondents.

These research findings suggest that male and female auditors share a high degree of ethical awareness, suggesting that auditors of all sexes should be cautious in their approach to every audit. Researchers found that female auditors were less likely than their male peers to do a compulsory joint audit that included an examination of partner and earnings management. Auditors tend to have an inflated sense of their own talents, and it's often held that female engagement partners are less certain than their male counterparts. Female auditors may be more skeptical in their work lives than their male counterparts because of their tendency toward overconfidence and risk-taking

Their route of advancement will be limited if they adhere to strict orthodoxy, and innovation is challenging. To examine the mechanism of product innovation in traditional craft firms in China, this research looks at the management and staff of front-line businesses. This study examines the structural relationship between social capital and product innovation capability from the perspective of social capital. It also examines the connection between learning orientation, social capital, and product innovation capability. Finally, it examines the moderating role of cross-border search on the influence of learning commitment on product innovation capability. The findings indicate that learning orientation and its three dimensions mediate the relationship between social capital and product innovation ability, and cross-border search positively modifies the relationship between learning orientation and its three dimensions and product innovation ability. Social capital and its three dimensions have a significant impact on product innovation ability. This study offers a useful reference for the management style of Chinese traditional craft firms based on theoretical research.
