Published: May 2024

We present a systematic analysis of the X-ray emission of a sample of 17 optically selected, X-ray-detected tidal disruption events (TDEs) discovered between 2014 and 2021. The X-ray light curves show a diverse range of temporal behaviors, with most sources not following the expected power-law decline. The X-ray spectra are mostly extremely soft and consistent with thermal emission from the innermost region of an accretion disk, which cools as the accretion rate decreases. Three sources show formation of a hard X-ray corona at late times. The spectral energy distribution shape, probed by the ratio (L
BB/L
X) between the UV/optical and X-ray, shows a wide range of L
BB/L
X ∈ (0.5, 3000) at early times and converges to disklike values of L
BB/L
X ∈ (0.5, 10) at late times. We estimate the fraction of optically discovered TDEs with L
X ≥ 1042 erg s−1 to be at least 40% and show that X-ray loudness is independent of black hole mass. We argue that distinct disk formation timescales are unlikely to be able to explain the diverse range of X-ray evolution. We combine our sample with X-ray-discovered ones to construct an X-ray luminosity function, best fit by a broken power law, with a break at L
X ≈ 1044 erg s−1. We show that there is no dichotomy between optically and X-ray-selected TDEs; instead, there is a continuum of early-time L
BB/L
X, at least as wide as L
BB/L
X ∈ (0.1, 3000), with optical/X-ray surveys selecting preferentially, but not exclusively, from the higher/lower end of the distribution. Our findings are consistent with unification models for the overall TDE population.

The tip of the red giant branch (TRGB) based distance method in the I band is one of the most efficient and precise techniques for measuring distances to nearby galaxies (D ≲ 15 Mpc). The TRGB in the near-infrared (NIR) is 1–2 mag brighter relative to the I band, and has the potential to expand the range over which distance measurements to nearby galaxies are feasible. Using Hubble Space Telescope (HST) imaging of 12 fields in eight nearby galaxies, we determine color-based corrections and zero-points of the TRGB in the Wide Field Camera 3 IR (WFC3/IR) F110W and F160W filters. First, we measure TRGB distances in the I band equivalent Advanced Camera System (ACS) F814W filter from resolved stellar populations with the HST. The TRGB in the ACS F814W filter is used for our distance anchor and to place the WFC3/IR magnitudes on an absolute scale. We then determine the color dependence (a proxy for metallicity/age) and zero-point of the NIR TRGB from photometry of WFC3/IR fields that overlap with the ACS fields. The new calibration is accurate to ∼1% in distance relative to the F814W TRGB. Validating the accuracy of the calibrations, we find that the distance modulus for each field using the NIR TRGB calibration agrees with the distance modulus of the same field as determined from the F814W TRGB. This is a JWST preparatory program, and the work done here will directly inform our approach to calibrating the TRGB in JWST NIRCam and NIRISS photometric filters.

Fragmentation during the early stages of high-mass star formation is crucial for understanding the formation of high-mass clusters. We investigated fragmentation within 39 high-mass star-forming clumps as part of the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array Survey of 70 μm Dark High-mass Clumps in Early Stages (ASHES) survey. Considering projection effects, we have estimated core separations for 839 cores identified from the continuum emission and found mean values between 0.08 and 0.32 pc within each clump. We find compatibility of the observed core separations and masses with the thermal Jeans length and mass, respectively. We also present subclump structures revealed by the 7 m array continuum emission. Comparison of the Jeans parameters using clump and subclump densities with the separation and masses of gravitationally bound cores suggests that they can be explained by clump fragmentation, implying the simultaneous formation of subclumps and cores within rather than a step-by-step hierarchical fragmentation. The number of cores in each clump positively correlates with the clump surface density and the number expected from the thermal Jeans fragmentation. We also find that the higher the fraction of protostellar cores, the larger the dynamic range of the core mass, implying that the cores are growing in mass as the clump evolves. The ASHES sample exhibits various fragmentation patterns: aligned, scattered, clustered, and subclustered. Using the

Q

-parameter, which can help distinguish between centrally condensed and subclustered spatial core distributions, we finally find that in the early evolutionary stages of high-mass star formation, cores tend to follow a subclustered distribution.

Published: May 2024

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has recently uncovered the presence of low-luminosity active galactic nuclei (AGNs) at z = 4–11. Spectroscopic observations have provided estimates of the nuclear black hole (BH) masses for these sources, extending the low-mass boundary down to M
• ∼ 106–7
M
⊙. Despite this breakthrough, the observed lowest mass of BHs is still ≳1–2 orders of magnitude heavier than the predicted mass range of their seed population, thereby leaving the initial mass distribution of massive BHs poorly constrained. In this paper, we focus on UV-to-optical (in the rest frame) flares of stellar tidal disruption events (TDEs) embedded in low-luminosity AGNs as a tool for exploring low-mass BH populations with ≲104–6
M
⊙. We provide an estimate of the TDE rate over z = 4–11, associated with the properties of JWST-detected AGN host galaxies, and we find that deep and wide survey programs with JWST and the Roman Space Telescope (RST) can detect and identify TDEs up to z ≃ 4–7. The predicted detection numbers of TDEs at z > 4 in 1 yr are

Short-term Classification of Strong Solar Energetic Particle Events Using Multivariate Time-series Classifiers
Authors: Rotti Sumanth A. , Aydin Berkay , Martens Petrus C.
Published: May 2024

Solar energetic particle (SEP) events are one of the most crucial aspects of space weather that require continuous monitoring and forecasting. Their prediction depends on various factors, including source eruptions. In the present work, we use the Geostationary Solar Energetic Particle data set covering solar cycles 22, 23, and 24. We develop a framework using time-series-based machine-learning (ML) models with the aim of developing robust short-term forecasts by classifying SEP events. For this purpose, we introduce an ensemble learning approach that merges the results from univariate time series of three proton channels (E ≥10, 50, and 100 MeV) and the long-band X-ray flux (1–8 Å) channel from the Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite missions and analyze their performance. We consider three models, namely, time series forest, supervised time series forest (STSF), and Bag-of-Symbolic Fourier Approximation Symbols. Our study also focuses on understanding and developing confidence in the predictive capabilities of our models. Therefore, we utilize multiple evaluation techniques and metrics. Based on that, we find STSF to perform well in all scenarios. The summary of metrics for the STSF model is as follows: the area under the ROC curve = 0.981, F
1-score = 0.960, true skill statistics = 0.919, Heidke skill score = 0.920, Gilbert skill score = 0.852, and Matthew’s correlation coefficient = 0.920. The Brier score loss of the STSF model is 0.077. This work lays the foundation for building near-real-time short-term SEP event predictions using robust ML methods.
Screening and diagnosis of atrial fibrillation using wearable devices
Authors: Park Yoon Jung , Bae Myung Hwan
Published: May 2024

In recent years, the development and use of various devices for the screening of atrial fibrillation (AF) have significantly increased. Such devices include 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG), photoplethysmography systems, and single-lead ECG and ECG patches. This review outlines several studies that have focused on the feasibility and efficacy of such devices for AF screening, and summarizes the risks and benefits involved in the initiation of anticoagulant therapy after early detection of AF. We also describe several ongoing trials on unresolved issues associated with AF screening. Overall, this review provides a comprehensive summary of the current state of AF screening and its implications for patient care.
The Future of Double Consciousness: Epistemic Virtue, Identity, and Structural Anti-Blackness
Authors: Hawkins Orlando , Davis Emmalon
Published: May 2024

This paper considers two conceptual expansions of Du Boisian double consciousness—white double consciousness (Alcoff 2015) and kaleidoscopic consciousness (Medina 2013)—both of which aim to articulate the moral-epistemic potential of cultivating double consciousness from racially dominant or other socially privileged positions. We analyze these concepts and challenge them on the grounds that they lack continuity with their Du Boisian predecessor and face problems of practical feasibility. As we show, these expansions obscure structural barriers that make white double consciousness and kaleidoscopic consciousness unlikely antidotes to the kind of racial domination that double consciousness was introduced to illuminate. We conclude that while more intersectional and pluralistic accounts of double consciousness may be desirable, the project of expansion has moral limits. Identifying these limitations, we outline ways in which double consciousness—as a tool for conceptualizing the genealogy of structural anti-Blackness—remains valuable in the absence of ever-expanding revision.
Emotional Injustice
Authors: Pismenny Arina , Pismenny Arina , Eickers Gen , Prinz Jesse
Published: May 2024

In this article we develop a taxonomy of emotional injustice: what occurs when the treatment of emotions is unjust, or emotions are used to treat people unjustly. After providing an overview of previous work on this topic and drawing inspiration from the more developed area of epistemic injustice, we propose working definitions of ‘emotion’, ‘injustice’, and ‘emotional injustice’. We describe seven classes of emotional injustice: Emotion Misinterpretation, Discounting, Extraction, Policing, Exploitation, Inequality, and Weaponizing. We say why it is useful to distinguish these and also to subsume them under a single concept. Our aims are both theoretical and practical: to provide a unified account of emotional injustice, while recognizing the diversity of this phenomenon; to facilitate further research on this topic; to recognize the political importance of emotions; and to outline some of the ways in which emotional injustice can be combated.
The Logic of Contingent Actuality
Authors: Glazier Martin , Krämer Stephan
Published: May 2024

Current orthodoxy in modal logic and metaphysics has it that actuality is non-contingent in the following sense: for all p, if actually, p, then necessarily, actually, p. Call this thesis (Actuality) Necessitism and its negation (Actuality) Contingentism. Thus, according to Contingentism, there is at least one proposition p which is actually true but which could have been actually false. In another paper, one of us (Glazier 2023) has recently defended Contingentism. The present paper explores the logic of actuality under Contingentism. After informally introducing Contingentism and outlining what we take to be the main motivations for accepting it, we consider how contingent actuality should be taken to be. We argue that the nature, or essence, of actuality imposes certain limits on the extent to which actuality could have been different, and these then inform our view of the logic of actuality. Turning to the formal study of the logic of contingent actuality, we specify a formal language and a possible world semantics for that language and distinguish a number of natural notions of validity and consequence to which it gives rise. We present axiomatizations of the different resulting logics and examine the variety of iterated modalities in our systems. We establish soundness and completeness results.
Mind-walking through Instagram: extracting the essences of Jakarta’s street vending
Authors: Warakanyaka Anak Agung Ayu Suci
Published: May 2024

Despite its economic and social significance, street vending is still seen as a culturally backwards and faulty development unbecoming for Jakarta. This has led to the development of urban strategies that attempt to eliminate its presence from the city’s streets. In response to the issue, through this paper, I posit street vending as a form of interior urbanism; a creative micro-scale intervention born from precarious situations that temporarily transform the street into a habitable space. And thus, its assimilation into the city’s formal urban framework is integral in creating a more liveable and socially equitable urban environment. Hence, a thorough understanding of street vending spatial practices is needed. To compensate for a severe lack of official data and direct access to the field, this paper proposed using mind-walking to reveal the ingredients of Jakarta’s street vending interior urbanism through Instagram. Inductive coding and drawing, interpretative tools that are less intrusive, are utilised within the analytical process to provide a comprehensive reading and extract the necessary components from the Instagram datasets of three different areas in Jakarta. This experiment successfully recognises crucial ingredients that characterise Jakarta’s street vending activities, including six types of street vending practice; the typology of interior urbanism. Despite its inherent downside of only covering the spatial features and yet touching on the socio-political aspects, mind-walking can establish and set out the ingredients that make up the social phenomenon, bringing the research a step forward to formulating a comprehensive and Jakarta-centric urban street framework.

Published: May 2024

The aim of this work is the description and characterization of a severe Microsporidia infection in a batch of salted and dried cod. Particularly, the case involves a batch of approximately 800 kg obtained from Gadus macrocephalus (Food and Agriculture Organization Zone 61 - Northwest Pacific Ocean), which, after rehydration and sectioning operations, underwent routine company checks before packaging. On about 20% of the samples, the presence of whitish nodules with a diameter ranging from 1 to 2 mm was observed on the surface of the fillets and in cross-section. The lesions ranged from a few units to 10 per cm2. Some samples were subjected to fresh microscopic observation with the stereomicroscope, confirming the nodular nature of the lesions, which were often confluent, alternating with empty spaces, giving the tissue a honeycombing aspect. The histological examination at low magnification allowed us to observe the heavy vacuolization of nodular lesions irregularly surrounded by a spongy-like wall. The observation at higher magnification of other sections allowed us to identify intra-myofibrillar cists containing presumptive microsporidian elements. The tissue damage derived from the technological processes and gravity of lesions did not allow a morphological characterization of presumptive protozoans. The molecular examination of the nodular lesions and the analysis of the sequence of an 897 bp fragment of the small subunit 16S rRNA revealed 100% identity with Microsporidium theragrae (GenBank Accession number MT928885-89) first isolated from the skeletal muscles of Gadus chalcogrammus specimens from the Sea of Okhotsk. This finding confirms the importance of selecting suppliers and raw materials in the seafood industry, as well as the usefulness of an effective traceability system.
Extending and improving conical bicombings
Authors: Basso Giuliano
Published: May 2024

We study metric spaces that admit a conical bicombing and thus obey a weak form of non-positive curvature. Prime examples of such spaces are injective metric spaces. In this article, we give a complete characterization of complete metric spaces admitting a conical bicombing by showing that every such space is isometric to a

\sigma

-convex subset of some injective metric space. In addition, we show that every proper metric space that admits a conical bicombing also admits a consistent bicombing that satisfies certain convexity conditions. This can be seen as a strong indication that a question from Descombes and Lang about improving conical bicombings might have a positive answer. As an application, we prove that any group acting geometrically on a proper metric space with a conical bicombing admits a

\mathcal{Z}

-structure.

Examination of Crash Injury Risk as a Function of Occupant
Demographics
Authors: Dalmotas Dainius , Chouinard Aline , Comeau Jean-Louis , German Alan , Robbins Glenn , Prasad Priya
Published: May 2024

The objectives of this study were to provide insights on how injury risk is
influenced by occupant demographics such as sex, age, and size; and to quantify
differences within the context of commonly-occurring real-world crashes. The
analyses were confined to either single-event collisions or collisions that were
judged to be well-defined based on the absence of any significant secondary
impacts. These analyses, including both logistic regression and descriptive
statistics, were conducted using the Crash Investigation Sampling System for
calendar years 2017 to 2021. In the case of occupant sex, the findings agree
with those of many recent investigations that have attempted to quantify the
circumstances in which females show elevated rates of injury relative to their
male counterparts given the same level bodily insult. This study, like others,
provides evidence of certain female-specific injuries. The most problematic of
these are AIS 2+ and AIS 3+ upper-extremity and lower-extremity injuries. These
are among the most frequently observed injuries for females, and their incidence
is consistently greater than for males. Overall, the odds of females sustaining
MAIS 3+ (or fatality) are 4.5% higher than the odds for males, while the odds of
females sustaining MAIS 2+ (or fatality) are 33.9% higher than those for males.
The analyses highlight the need to carefully control for both the vehicle
occupied, and the other involved vehicle, when calculating risk ratios by
occupant sex. Female driver preferences in terms of vehicle class/size differ
significantly from those of males, with females favoring smaller, lighter
vehicles.

Published: May 2024

Introduction : Le tissage du pagne traditionnel est un métier présentant des risques pour la santé des tisseuses au Burkina Faso. Le stress professionnel figure parmi ces risques après les Troubles MusculoSquelettiques (TMS). L’OMS recommande la prévention par l’exercice physique pour résorber ces risques. L’objectif de cette étude était de déterminer l’effet d’un programme d’exercice physique sur le stress professionnel perçu chez les tisseuses.
Méthode : Etude de nature transversale et de type descriptif, elle a été réalisée auprès de 30 tisseuses de pagnes traditionnels. Ces tisseuses ont suivi un programme d’exercice physique de 8 semaines en raison de 3 fois par semaine d’intensité faible à modérée. L’Echelle de mesure du Stress Professionnel Perçu (SPP) a été administrée avant la première séance et à la fin de la dernière séance. Le test t de Student a été réalisé sur le logiciel SPSS 2020. Le niveau de significativité du test a été fixé à p < 0, 05.
Résultats : une différence de score a été observée entre le test avant et le test après (21,50 > 16,70). Aussi, le test t de student a révélé une relation significative entre ces scores (p = 0,02).
Conclusion : ces résultats révèlent que le programme d’exercice physique de 8 semaines a eu un effet positif dans la prévention du stress professionnel perçu chez les femmes tisseuses. Il conviendrait de mettre des stratégies en place pour sensibiliser toutes les tisseuses à pratiquer les APS.

Introduction: Traditional loincloth weaving is a profession that presents health risks for weavers in Burkina Faso. Occupational stress is one of these risks, after musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs). The WHO recommends prevention through physical exercise to reduce these risks. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of a physical exercise programme on perceived occupational stress in weavers.
Method: A descriptive, cross-sectional study was carried out on 30 weavers of traditional loincloths. The weavers followed an 8-week programme of physical exercise 3 times a week of low to moderate intensity. The Perceived Occupational Stress Scale (POS) was administered before the first session and at the end of the last session. Student's t-test was performed using SPSS 2020 software. The significance level of the test was set at p < 0.05.
Results: A difference in score was observed between the before and after tests (21.50 > 16.70). The student’s t-test also revealed a significant relationship between these scores (p = 0.02).
Conclusion: These results show that the 8-week physical exercise programme had a positive effect on preventing perceived work-related stress in women weavers. Strategies should be put in place to raise awareness among all women weavers of the need to practise PSA.

Published: May 2024

Introduction : L'invagination se produit lorsqu'un segment intestinal et son mésentère pénètrent dans le segment intestinal d'aval et s'y incarcèrent. L'invagination intestinale aiguë est une cause rare d'occlusion intestinale chez l'adulte. Elle survient habituellement sur une lésion organique. Les manifestations cliniques non spécifiques sont dominées par le syndrome occlusif.
Observation : Un homme âgé de 40 ans, instituteur, a été admis pour des douleurs abdominales, des vomissements et un arrêt de matières et de gaz évoluant depuis huit jours. Le diagnostic d'occlusion intestinale aiguë a été évoqué. Une échographie abdominale a été demandée et a objectivé une invagination colo-colique sur tumeur tissulaire d’allure bénigne siégeant sur l’angle colique gauche. Une laparotomie et une résection colique emportant la masse tumorale avaient été réalisées. L'examen anatomopathologique a conclu à un lipome colique bénin.
Conclusion : Ce cas décrit une tumeur bénigne inhabituelle comme cause d'une invagination et illustre la symptomatologie atypique de l'invagination chez l'adulte.

Introduction: Intussusception occurs when an intestinal segment and its mesentery penetrate and become embedded in the downstream intestinal segment. Acute intussusception is a rare cause of intestinal obstruction in adults. It usually occurs on an organic lesion. Non-specific clinical manifestations are dominated by the occlusive syndrome.
Observation: A 40-year-old man, a schoolteacher, was admitted for abdominal pain, vomiting and a cessation of matter and gas lasting for eight days. The diagnosis of acute intestinal obstruction was raised. An abdominal ultrasound was requested and revealed a colonic intussusception on a benign tissue tumor located on the left colic angle. A laparotomy and colonic resection removing the tumor mass were performed. The pathological examination concluded that it was a benign colonic lipoma.
Conclusion: This case describes an unusual benign tumor as the cause of intussusception and illustrates the atypical symptomatology of intussusception in adults.
Quantifying the Strength of the El Niño Southern Oscillation and the Indian Ocean Dipole in Influencing the OND Rainfall Season in Tanzania
Authors: Ongito Benjamin William , Limbu Paul TS
Published: May 2024

The current paper examines the strength of variability between the El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) and the Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD) in influencing October to December (OND) rainfall over the bimodal rainfall regime of Tanzania. The empirical orthogonal function (EOF), correlation analysis, and composite analysis were used during the data analysis. The results show more rainfall distribution over the western part of the Lake Victoria basin and to the peripheral of the northern coast of the country, thus suggesting that, during the OND rainfall season, the onset starts in the western part of the Lake Victoria basin, then spreads to the rest of the areas under investigation as the season progresses. Furthermore, on the spatial scale, the findings revealed that there is a strong correlation between IOD and ENSO indices and OND rains in the northeastern highlands. Furthermore, a robust temporal correlation is revealed between the mean OND rains over the bimodal rainfall areas and IOD (r = 0.70) compared to ENSO (r = 0.62). The anomalous warming over the western Indian Ocean (positive IOD) has a faster response to OND rains over the bimodal rainfall regime of Tanzania compared to the remote influence induced by anomalous warming from the central equatorial Pacific Ocean (warm phase of ENSO). Meanwhile, dry years are associated with negative IOD and the cold phase of ENSO conditions. The findings offer valuable insights on strategies for mitigating the effects associated with extreme weather events and improving resilience in Tanzania.

Magnesium doped zinc oxide (ZnO:Mg) thin films were deposited on soda lime glass slides by DC magnetron sputtering method. Atomic force microscope (AFM), and UV/VIS spectrophotometer were used to investigate the effect of sputtering power and substrate temperature on the surface morphology and optical properties of ZnO:Mg thin films. AFM images revealed that sputtering power and deposition temperature have significant influence on surface morphology of the ZnO:Mg thin films. For all sputtering powers and substrate temperatures investigated, ZnO:Mg films had peak transmittance above 85%. Samples deposited at 110 W sputtering power and 450 °C substrate temperature showed the best peak transmittance of > 90% at 560 nm (visible range). Optical band gap of ZnO:Mg films was in the range of 3.44– 3.69 eV depending on the substrate temperature. The results indicated the potential of the films for transparent conductor applications.

The call for a transition to a green economy has been a recurring issue in Nigeria for over a decade. However, there was limited focus on the relationship between waste recycling and the green economy in previous studies. This study explores the nexus between waste recycling and the green economy, examining how waste recycling can be leveraged to foster a green economy in Nigeria. A descriptive qualitative approach was used, and relevant literature from secondary data sources and context were analyzed. The results indicate that waste recycling has not been fully embraced in Nigeria, especially at the household level. Therefore, waste recycling is primarily driven by the informal sector and entrepreneurs. Furthermore, the study reveals the diverse opportunities available through implementing a green economy. It recommends a green economy policy that promotes equity, economic incentives for household waste recycling, and support for entrepreneurs interested in partnering with the government.

Six Sigma is a well-liked technique for raising productivity and quality of output in industrial processes and process improvement initiatives. In the Six Sigma methodology, abnormalities in the operational process are reviewed and examined using the Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, and Control (DMAIC) cycle. Corrective action is then taken to reduce bottlenecks to enhance productivity, ensure stable product quality, and create a tightly connected production cycle. This study proposes the use of integrating statistical hypotheses into the DMAIC cycle of the Six Sigma method and proposes the use of Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) modules to monitor production processes at a major mechanical processing company. Lean tools are also suggested by the author to be used in the analysis phase. The research results show a reduction in the rate of late product delivery to users from 6.28% to 0.02% per month. The lean tool application model, statistical hypotheses, and industry 4.0 system are integrated into the EPR system at the company's improvement department and are considered a model for manufacturing companies to refer to in implementing improvements for their products.

The Qur'an is the greatest miracle revealed by Allah SWT to Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) as a guide for mankind. One of the main focuses of the Qur'an is to teach people about the worship of Allah, to warn against sins, and to give instructions for doing good in personal and social life. The phenomena and stories contained in the Qur'an are not just fairy tales but are a source of wisdom and knowledge that can be taken by humans. Through observation and understanding of the verses of the Qur'an, people are invited to draw closer to Allah and learn from the stories of the previous people. One example of the story recorded in the Qur'an is the destruction of the people of 'Ad, whom the Prophet Hud sent to warn them against idolatry. Despite warnings, the people of 'Ad remained in defiance, so Allah inflicted torment on them in the form of dark clouds that brought no rain, but strong winds and destruction.
Correlation Between Blood Glucose Levels And Risk Of Non-Hemorrhagic Stroke: Analysis Of A Prospective Cohort Study In An Elderly Population
Authors: Hartanto Williem Alexander
Published: May 2024

Stroke is one of the main cardiovascular diseases that causes death and disability throughout the world. One of the important risk factors for stroke is hyperglycemia or high blood sugar levels. This study aims to analyze the correlation between blood glucose levels and the risk of non-hemorrhagic stroke in the elderly population. This research utilizes a qualitative approach. The data source used is the scientific literature. The data that has been collected is then analyzed through the process of data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The research findings show that there was a significant positive correlation between blood glucose levels and the risk of non-hemorrhagic stroke in the elderly population. Elderly people with high blood glucose levels have a higher risk of non-hemorrhagic stroke compared to elderly people with normal blood glucose levels. Good control of blood glucose levels can be an important strategy to reduce the risk of non-hemorrhagic stroke in the elderly.
Points-of-differences that shape consumer preferences for a hype brand: The case of Mixue’s fast growth
Authors: Christopher Anthony , Simamora Bilson
Published: May 2024

Companies position their brands to consumers using points of difference, attributes, or advantages that consumers strongly associate with the brand and cannot be found in competing brands. Mixue is an ice cream brand that enjoyed significant attention in early 2023. The question is, why did this ice cream outlet receive spectacular attention in such a short time? To answer this question, based on the theory of consumer behavior models that asserts that a company's marketing efforts influence consumer decision-making, the authors theorize that the intentionally created point of difference (PODs) boost consumer preferences. To confirm that applied theory, the authors collected data from 136 respondents who have visited Mixue outlets by distributing questionnaires via Google Forms. The partial least square (PLS), with the help of WarpPLS 7.0 and SPSS 26, reveals that intrinsic and extrinsic product attributes positively and significantly impact consumer preferences. However, these controllable variables only account for 32% of consumer preference and 68% of unidentified non-POD factors. The challenge for the company in maintaining success in the long term is to enhance its uniqueness by increasing the contribution of the PODs. Other researchers are suggested to investigate non-POD factors.

Authors: Lubis Fahrur Rozi , Ervina Irma , Amalia Martina
Published: May 2024

Introduction: Alveolar bone undergoes dimensional changes due to resorption after tooth extraction, which can make it difficult to place a denture or implant. Preservation socket procedures are performed at the time of tooth extraction with the aim of minimizing alveolar bone resorption. The purpose of this systematic review is to analyze the effectiveness of socket preservation in preserving alveolar bone.
Review: This systematic review was conducted through an electronic literature search in PubMed, Wiley, and Sciencedirect, which was used to obtain a number of Randomized Clinical Trial (RCT) articles on the effectiveness of socket preservation with graft material versus no socket preservation. This systematic review was conducted following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews (PRISMA) guidelines. Based on the 417 articles screened, there were 24 duplicates, and after the articles were included by the criteria of: RCT, human study, publication in English, within the last five years and focusing on the methods and outcomes of socket preservation, 5 articles were found to be relevant.
Conclusion: Of the five studies reviewed, one study using allograft material and four studies using xenograft material, the results were that socket preservation can reduce alveolar bone resorption and can maintain the horizontal and vertical dimensions of alveolar bone compared to no socket preservation
