Popular Sovereignty, Islam, and Democracy (2003)*
Authors: Perry Glenn E.
Published: February 2024

This article examines the idea that Islam’s rejection of popularsovereignty makes it incompatible with democracy. I showinstead that sovereignty (“absolute despotic power,” popular orotherwise) is a sterile, pedantic, abstruse, formalistic, and legalisticconcept, and that democracy should be seen as involving“popular control” rather than “popular sovereignty.” Divinesovereignty would be inconsistent with democracy only if thatmeant unlike in Islam rule by persons claiming to be God orHis infallible representatives. A body of divine law that humanscannot change would be incompatible with democracy only if itwere so comprehensive as to leave no room for political decisions. *This article was first published in the American Journal of Islamic Social Sciences 20, no. 3&4(2003): 125-139
Rethinking Islamic Education in Facing the Challenges of the Twenty-first Century (2005)*
Authors: Hashim Rosnani
Published: February 2024

The Muslim ummah, as a world community, faces many challenges at the threshold of the new century. The fateful event of 9/11 has revealed yet another facet of the problems plaguing Muslim society: the existence of radical, or what some media have labeled “militant,” Muslim groups. Despite the Muslim world’s condemnation of the 9/11 terrorist attack, the United States considered itself the victim and thus launched its “war against terrorism” against the alleged perpetrators: the Taliban and al-Qaeda. Iraq, which was alleged to be building weapons of mass destruction (WMDs) and assisting al-Qaeda, became the second target. Iran would have become the immediate third target if the international community had supported the Bush administration’s unilateral declaration of war against Iraq. But it did not, for the allegations could not be proven.

This study aims to determine the corn supply chain in South Tumani Village, Maesaan District, South Minahasa Regency. Data collection in this study uses two types of data, namely primary data and secondary data. Respondents in this study were those involved in the corn supply chain, namely farmers, collectors, and consumers in Kawangkoan and Sonder. The results showed that the corn supply chain in Tumani Selatan Village consisted of Farmers-Traders-Collectors-Consumers in Kawangkoan and Sonder. The product flow starts from the farmers harvesting the corn and then selling the corn to the collectors and then the collecting traders distribute the corn to consumers in Kawangkoan and Sonder. The financial flow starts from consumers buying corn from collectors at a price of IDR 5,300/Kg with a transfer transaction system via bank then the collector buys corn from farmers at a price of IDR 4,800/Kg with a direct system (cash). The flow of information flows from two directions, the first direction is that consumers from Kawangkoan and Sonder inform the collecting traders that they need 3,000 kg for consumers at Kawangkoan and 3,000 kg for consumers at Sonder, then the collecting traders inform the corn price to farmers, namely IDR 4,800/Kg. The second direction is that the farmers inform the collectors about the availability of corn and provide information on the location where the corn is taken, then the collectors inform the consumers about the corn to be sold.

Chebyshev polynomials to Volterra-Fredholm integral equations of the first kind
Authors: Nadir Mohamed Nasseh , Jawahdou Adel
Published: February 2024

Numerous methods have been studied and discussed for solving ill-posed Volterra integral equations and ill-posed Fredholm integral equations, but rarely for both simultaneously. In this study, we focus on numerically solving the ill-posed Volterra-Fredholm integral equation of the first kind by replacing it with its perturbed counterpart. We employ Chebyshev polynomials of the first kind to solve the perturbed equation. Our findings suggest that this technical approach is superior to the regularization method of Tikhonov. It is simpler, less cumbersome, and this simplicity is demonstrated through various examples.
Infrared laser deposition of high-quality CsBH4 epitaxial thin films stable under atmospheric conditions
Authors: Murakami Hibiki , Kaminaga Kenichi , Kimura Rintaro , Maruyama Shingo , Matsumoto Yuji
Published: February 2024

We have demonstrated the growth of CsBH4 (001) epitaxial thin films utilizing an IR laser deposition technique. The thin film exhibited coherent growth with a tensile strain from the substrate, resulting in its crystallinity superior to other kinds of metal borohydride thin films reported in earlier studies. Moreover, the notable chemical stability of CsBH4 enabled surface morphological and optical characterizations even under atmospheric conditions. The optical transition energy values estimated from a Tauc plot were found smaller than the theoretical ones previously reported, and DFT calculations suggested a partial deficiency of Cs+ or [BH4]− created in the thin films.
Growth and surface magnetism of ultrathin Cr(001) films
Authors: Kawagoe Takeshi
Published: February 2024

We investigate the growth of ultrathin Cr films on a Au(001) surface and observe that the growth of 1.5 nm thick Cr layers at 290 K, followed by post-annealing at 520 K, results in high-quality epitaxial Cr(001) films with atomically flat large terraces and distinct surface states. Subsequently, these optimized growth conditions are successfully applied to the growth of 1 nm and 3 nm thick Cr films. Magnetic imaging of 1 and 1.5 nm thick Cr(001) films prepared under the optimized growth conditions is performed using spin-polarized scanning tunneling microscopy. Distinct magnetic contrasts featuring a topological antiferromagnetic (TAF) order are observed in both films; however, spin frustration originating from the density of screw dislocations for both films shows a significant difference. The 1.0 nm thick Cr film, which exhibits a clear TAF order with the suppression of a large spin-frustrated area, is suitable for application to spin-electronic devices.

Published: February 2024

This study co-designs single-level cell (SLC) mask and multilevel cell (MLC) weight twin FeFET devices and a strong lottery ticket hypothesis (SLTH)-based neural network (NN) algorithm to achieve highly error-tolerant low-power Computation-in-Memory (CiM). The SLC mask FeFET masks or transfers the NN weight stored in the MLC weight FeFET, and the masked NN weight reduces the CiM power consumption. The proposed SLC mask FeFETs, which are trained, and MLC weight FeFETs, in which V
TH are uniformly randomized, achieve 87% inference accuracy against 10-year data retention and read disturb. The SLC mask FeFETs show 86% inference accuracy even at 2000 endurance cycles. In addition, shared-bottom-select-gate (BSG) SLTH CiM and common-mask SLTH CiM for the NN convolutional layer are proposed to reduce the CiM area by sharing BSG and mask FeFET. Moreover, NN weight mapping schemes for SLTH CiM are proposed. The proposed mapping schemes show a tradeoff between inference accuracy and CiM area. One of the schemes reduces the CiM area by 45% with a 9.1% accuracy loss.
THE CONSEQUENCES OF WRONGFUL TRADING FOR THE COOPERATIVE’S DIRECTORS, PARTICULARLY THE PROHIBITION FROM PERFORMING MANAGEMENT FUNCTIONS AND THE LOSS OF CREDITS IN THE INSOLVENT COOPERATIVE
Authors: Ribeiro Maria de Fátima
Published: February 2024

The applicability of the Portuguese legal regime to cooperatives may raise specific questions, particularly with regards to the effects of wrongful trading for their directors. Namely, the disqualification of the cooperative director and the loss of any credits he may have towards the cooperative are to be considered, because of the specificities of their implementation in the context of cooperatives.

In Portugal, cooperatives are subject to insolvency and to the Portuguese insolvency legal regime (Código da Insolvência e da Recuperação de Empresas:CIRE). But the applicability of this regime to cooperatives may raise specific questions, particularly with regards to the effects of wrongful trading for theirdirectors.

Under Portuguese cooperative law (Código Cooperativo: CCoop.), one of the consequences of wrongful trading is, inevitably, the loss of mandate of convicted board members. But there is no eligibility requirement relating back to this, so nothing seems to prevent an individual previously convicted of wrongful trading from taking on these functions in a cooperative. Under Portuguese insolvency law (Código da Insolvência e da Recuperação de Empresas: CIRE), there may be a prohibition from performing management functions for a period that can range from 2 to 10 years (because of wrongful trading). In this case, the prohibition safeguards the position of the cooperative towards the election of a previously convicted individual during that period. But how can we solve the problem in any other cases? And can this conviction also constitute grounds for exclusion of a member from the cooperative? If so, on what specific grounds and under what terms?

There is yet another problem concerning the consequences of a wrongful trading conviction of a director under Portuguese insolvency law, in the case of acooperative insolvency. When a director has been convicted of wrongful trading as part of the insolvency of the cooperative they manage, one of the consequences of such conviction is - pursuant to the CIRE - the loss of any credits they might have on the insolvent cooperative. Since they are mostly simultaneously a cooperator, what is the scope of this conviction with regards to any credit rights they might have as a cooperator, upon the dissolution and liquidation of the cooperative?

In this study, following an analysis of the legislative solutions provided in Portugal, we try to provide an answer to these questions. As there are no specific answers in the doctrine and no case-law treatment, we will considerer the basic principles and rules of the insolvency law as well as the fundamental cooperative principles.

SUBKLINIKINIS PRIEŠIRDŽIŲ VIRPĖJIMAS: PAPLITIMAS, KLINIKINĖ REIKŠMĖ IR GALIMYBĖS
Authors: Daubaraitė Aurelija
Published: February 2024

Subklinikinis prieširdžių virpėjimas arba prieširdžių tachisistolijos epizodai dažnai aptinkami pacientams, kuriems implantuoti kardiovaskuliniai elektroniniai prietaisai ar naudojantiems nešiojamus nuolatinio mo­nitoravimo prietaisus. Nors šie radiniai gali padėti suma­žinti kardioembolinio insulto riziką, reikėtų apsvarstyti, ar ilgalaikio antikoaguliantų vartojimo nauda didesnė, nei keliama rizika. Šių pacientų insulto rizika didėja priklausomai nuo epizodų trukmės, dažnio ir kitų insulto rizikos veiksnių, todėl kiekvienu atveju reikėtų įvertinti šiuos veiksnius ir spręsti individualiai. Įrodymais pa­grįstų ilgalaikės antikoaguliacinės terapijos rekomenda­cijų tokiems pacientams trūksta, tačiau esant 24 valandų ar ilgesnės trukmės epizodams ir didelei ar labai didelei insulto rizikai, ši strategija galėtų būti taikoma.

VYRŲ VALGYMO SUTRIKIMAI: RIZIKOS VEIKSNIAI IR SIMPTOMAI
Authors: Mačiokaitė Giedrė
Published: February 2024

Valgymo sutrikimai yra psichiatrinės ligos, pasireiškian­čios nenormaliu ir sveikatą alinančiu valgymo elgesiu. Dažniausiai šie sutrikimai diagnozuojami moterims, tačiau daugėja įrodymų apie jų pasireiškimą vyrams. Vienas iš pagrindinių rizikos veiksnių yra seksualinis arba fizinis smurtas. Kiti veiksniai yra sociokultūrinė aplinka, bendraamžių įtaka bei gretutinės psichiatrinės ligos. Dažniausiai vyrams pasireiškia noras būti rau­meningais, todėl imasi drastiškų dietų, pernelyg didelio fizinio krūvio, pradeda vartoti anabolinius steroidus, baltyminius ar kitus papildus. Vyrai, sergantys valgymo sutrikimais, labiau linkę vartoti alkoholį ir narkotines medžiagas. Šios literatūros apžvalgos tikslas yra ap­žvelgti naujus mokslinius straipsnius apie valgymo su­trikimų pasireiškimą vyrams, kadangi rizikos veiksniai ir simptomai šiek tiek skiriasi nuo moterų, todėl gali likti nepastebėti.

Tikslas. Apžvelgti mokslinėje literatūroje aprašomas ne­kosmetines botulino neurotoksino A (BTX-A) panau­dojimo galimybes, efektyvumą ir taikymą klinikinėje praktikoje.

Metodai. Literatūros apžvalga. Straipsnių atrankai buvo naudojama tarptautinė medicinos duomenų bazė PubMed. Straipsniai buvo atrinkti naudojant raktažodžius anglų kalba: botulinum neurotoxin, BTX, idiopathic hyper­hidrosis, alopecia, rosacea, atopic dermatitis, pruritus (botulino neurotoksinas, BTX, idiopatinė hiperhidrozė, alopecija, rožinė, atopinis dermatitas, pruritas) ir išana­lizuoti, siekiant įvertinti aktualiausią medžiagą. Naudoti filtrai: kalba „english“ ir publikacijos data „10 years“.

Rezultatai ir išvados. BTX-A yra efektyvus bei saugus preparatas gydyti idiopatinę hiperhidrozę, o kombina­cijoje su oksibutinino hidrochloridu efektas stebimas iki 44 mėn. ilgiau. OnaBTX-A gali būti optimalus pre­paratas gydyti androgeninę alopeciją, ypač kombinaci­joje su finasteridu bei minoksidiliu. BTX-A sėkmingai gydoma veido rožinė ir sunkus atopinis dermatitas bei su juo susijęs pruritas, nesukeliant ženklių šalutinių reiš­kinių. Stokojant klinikinių tyrimų, negalima objektyviai įvertinti preparato naudos bei žalos santykio, siekiant veiksmingo šių ligų gydymo.
GLP-1 RECEPTORIŲ AGONISTŲ REIKŠMĖ 2 TIPO CUKRINIU DIABETU SERGANČIŲ PACIENČIŲ SVORIO MAŽINIMUI
Authors: Viliušytė Miglė , Maleckas Almantas , Malinauskas Mantas
Published: February 2024

Viena didžiausių pasaulinių problemų yra nutukimo pan­demija. Didelis kūno svoris daro neigiamą įtaką svei­katai − žmonės dažniau serga širdies ir kraujagyslių, virškinamojo trakto, metabolinėmis ligomis, ypač 2 tipo cukriniu diabetu (2TCD). Nutukimo gydymui naudojami įvairiausi metodai: konservatyvusis gydymas, farmako­terapija ir bariatrinė chirurgija. Viena naujausių žinomų medikamentinių svorio mažinimo priemonių – GLP-1 receptorių agonistai (GLP-1RA).

Tyrimo tikslas − įvertinti GLP-1RA poveikį svorio ma­žėjimui gydant 2TCD sergančius pacientus.

Metodai. Mokslinės literatūros paieška vykdyta nuo 2023 m. rugsėjo 1 d. iki spalio 1 dienos. Straipsnių paieška atlikta elektroninėse duomenų bazėse PubMed, ScienceDirect. Įtrauktos ne senesnės nei dešimties metų publikacijos anglų kalba, kuriuose tiriami asmenys nuo aštuoniolikos metų. Atlikus paiešką duomenų bazėse, rastos 1254 publikacijos, iš kurių 20 įtraukta į siste­minę analizę.

Rezultatai. Visuose atliktuose tyrimuose nustatyta, kad monoterapija GLP-1RA turi teigiamą poveikį svorio mažėjimui sergantiems 2TCD. Toks poveikis, vartojant GLP-1RA, priklauso tiek nuo vaisto dozės, tiek nuo var­tojimo laiko. Gydant 2TCD GLP-1RA ir dieta, pastebė­tas šiek tiek didesnis svorio sumažėjimas. Išanalizavus publikacijų duomenis, buvo nustatytas mažiau reikšmin­gas poveikis svorio sumažėjimui vartojant GLP-1RA kombinaciją su insulino ar sulfanilšlapalo preparatais. Kiti antidiabetiniai vaistai (GIP receptorių agonistas, metforminas) sustiprina GLP-1RA poveikį ir šių me­dikamentų kombinacija efektyviausiai mažina svorį.

Išvados. GLP-1RA mažina svorį 2TCD sergantiems pacientams, nepriklausomai nuo kartu vartojamų kitų antidiabetinių vaistų.

Paveldima hemoraginė telangiektazija – autosominiu dominantiniu būdu paveldima liga, paveikianti angioge­nezę. Kliniškai liga pasireiškia odos, gleivinių telangiek­tazijomis, arterioveninėmis malformacijomis plaučiuose, kepenyse, virškinamajame trakte, smegenyse ir krauja­vimu iš nosies. Dažna vieta arterioveninėms malforma­cijoms atsirasti – nosies gleivinė. Šioje vietoje atsiradę pažeidimai lemia spontaninį, pasikartojantį kraujavimą iš nosies, kuris yra dažniausias paveldimos hemoraginės telangiektazijos pasireiškimas ir labiausiai pacientus var­ginantis simptomas. Nors nėra patogenezinio gydymo, praktikoje taikomas farmakologinis ar intervencinis gy­dymas ligai ir jos sukeltiems simptomams kontroliuoti. Labiausiai pacientus varginantis simptomas yra krauja­vimas iš nosies, todėl daug dėmesio skiriama jo gydy­mui. Nors literatūroje pateikiama daug gydymo variantų, vienas reikšmingiausių – lazerinė terapija.
PAAUGLIŲ IR JAUNŲ VYRŲ VALGYMO SUTRIKIMAI

Published: February 2024

Valgymo sutrikimai – sunkūs psichiatriniai sutrikimai, kurių paplitimas pastaruoju metu didėja ir paauglių bei jaunų vyrų populiacijoje. Bendras šių sutrikimų papliti­mas tarp vyrų bent 4 kartus retesnis, nei moterų, tačiau diagnostika ir klinikinių požymių ypatumai gali skir­tis. Vyrams būdingas kūno vaizdo sutrikimas dažniau siejamas su raumeningumu, nei su lieknumu. Vaikinai, dažniau nei merginos, linkę užsiimti pertekliniu fiziniu krūviu, tačiau rečiau išsivemia, vartoja diuretikus ar lais­vinamuosius vaistus. Sportininkų vyrų valgymo sutrikimų paplitimas dažnesnis, ypač sporto šakose, kuriose reikia atitikti svorio kategoriją. Jie dažniau užsiima nesveika svorio kontrolės praktika: persitreniravimu, badavimu, išsivėmimu, piktnaudžiavimu įvairiomis legaliomis ir ne­legaliomis medžiagomis. Paaugliai ir jauni suaugę vyrai, sergantys valgymo sutrikimais, dažnu atveju anksčiau buvo nutukę ar turėjo antsvorio, todėl valgymo sutrikimo diagnostika gali vėluoti. Jų didesnė rizika piktnaudžiauti psichoaktyviomis medžiagomis. Siekiant pagerinti vyrų valgymo sutrikimų diagnostiką, sukurtas vyrų valgymo sutrikimų įvertinimas, bei į raumeningumą orientuotos mitybos apklausa. Šių priemonių sukūrimas parodė daug žadančių rezultatų, leido lengviau diagnozuoti sutrikimus, tačiau vis dar reikalingi tolesni tyrimai vyriškos lyties paauglių populiacijose.
MITYBOS ĮTAKA ŽARNYNO MIKROBIOTAI
Authors: Hibner Marija , Mikalauskas Miglius
Published: February 2024

Žarnyno mikrobiota glaudžiai sąveikauja su imunine sistema, apsaugo nuo kenksmingų patogenų ir palaiko žarnyno barjero vientisumą. Sutrikus žarnyno mikroor­ganizmo pusiausvyrai, išsivysto disbiozė. Ji yra susijusi su įvairiomis sveikatos būklėmis, pvz., nutukimu, širdies ir kraujagyslių ligomis, uždegiminėmis žarnyno ligomis, vėžiu, alergijomis, medžiagų apykaitos sutrikimais, 2 tipo cukriniu diabetu ir psichikos sveikatos problemomis. Tikslas − išanalizuoti mokslinę literatūrą apie skirtingų mitybos modelių taikymo įtaką žarnyno mikrobiotai. Metodika. Atlikta mokslinės literatūros apžvalga, naudo­jant internetines duomenų bazes PubMed, ScienceDirect, SpringerLink. Naudoti raktažodžiai: žarnyno mikrobiota, mityba, veganiška dieta, Viduržemio jūros dieta, vaka­rietiška dieta (angl. gut microbiota, vegan diet, medi­terranean diet, western-style diet). Atrinkta 12 straips­nių ir atlikta jų analizė. Rezultatai. Remiantis mokslinių straipsnių analizės rezultatais, nustatyta, kad daug sočiųjų riebalų turinti dieta sumažina gerųjų bakterijų įvairovę ir padidina blogųjų bakterijų augimą. Viduržemio jūros ir veganiška dietos, kuriose gausu skaidulų, polifenolių ir nesočiųjų riebalų rūgščių mažina blogųjų bakterijų kiekį ir skatina gerųjų bakterijų Bacteroidetes, Bifido­bacterium, Lactobacillus ir Akkermansia augimą. Išva­dos. Vakarietiška mityba, kurioje gausu cukrų ir sočiųjų riebalų rūgščių sukelia žarnyno disbiozę, o Viduržemio jūros dieta ir veganiška mityba padeda palaikyti sveiką žarnyno mikrobiotos pusiausvyrą – eubiozę.

Neprižiūrimas ir ilgai trunkantis cukrinis diabetas (CD) gresia skirtingų organų sistemų komplikacijomis: diabe­tinė neuropatija, diabetinė retinopatija, diabetinė nefro­patija, širdies ir kraujagyslių ligos, odos būklės pokyčiai. Šios komplikacijos gali lemti ne tik didesnį medicininės pagalbos poreikį ir ekonominę naštą šalies sveikatos sis­temai, bet ir blogėjančią paciento gyvenimo kokybę bei ankstyvą mirtį. Diabetinė neuropatija yra viena dažniau­sių komplikacijų, pasireiškianti apie 50 proc. sergan­čiųjų cukriniu diabetu. Skausmo mažinimas yra vienas pagrindinių diabetinės neuropatijos gydymo tikslų. Jau kurį laiką mokslinėje literatūroje nagrinėjamas alfa li­poinės rūgšties (ALA) poveikis neuropatiniam skaus­mui. Tyrimo tikslas – išanalizuoti mokslinius straipsnius, kuriuose būtų aprašomas alfa lipoinės rūgšties poveikis pacientams, kuriems pasireiškė diabetinės neuropatijos simptomai.
ALLERGIC ASTHMA’S IMPACT ON THE CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM

Published: February 2024

Asthma, a chronic condition marked by airway inflam­mation, results from a complex interplay of genetic and environmental factors, including urban pollution. As­thma varies in severity and can be intermittent or per­sistent. Allergic asthma is most common and linked to elevated IgE levels and eosinophilic airway inflamma­tion. Additionally, asthma exacerbations, often triggered by respiratory infections, significantly impact patient’s well-being. Apart from its respiratory impact, asthma has notable implications for the cardiovascular system. Chronic inflammation, common to both asthma and car­diovascular disease (CVD), contributes to atherosclerosis, plaque rupture, and acute CVD events. Studies suggest that persistent asthma is associated with a higher risk of CVD events. While asthma poses challenges in diagno­sis and management, it also underscores the importance of monitoring cardiovascular health in asthma patients, given the clear link between these two conditions. Furt­her research is needed to better understand this complex relationship.

Aim: The aim of this article is to highlight the signifi­cance of allergic asthma‘s negative impact on the car­diovascular system.

Published: February 2024

COVID-19 yra liga, kurią sukelia virusas, vadinamas sunkaus ūminio respiracinio sindromo koronavirusu 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Didelei žmonių populiacijai susidūrus su infekcija buvo pastebėta, kad užsikrėtus virusu pro­gresuoja ne tik ligai būdingi simptomai, bet stebimas ir autoimuninių ligų, kaip autoimuninis encefalitas (AE), pasireiškimas. Nagrinėjant AE patogenezę po COVID-19 išsiaiškinta, kad sisteminio uždegiminio atsako sindro­mas (SIRS) sutrikdo organizmo imuninės sistemos savų struktūrų atpažinimą, daro įtaką autoimuninio proceso at­siradimui, ligos pasireiškimui, eigai. AE klinikinė raiška progresuoja greitai ir gali pasireikšti jau po 1-12 dienų nuo pirmųjų COVID-19 infekcijos simptomų. Stebimi dažnesni, sudėtingesnio gydymo reikalaujantys epilep­sijos priepuolių atvejai nei po kitų infekcijų, galinčių išprovokuoti autoimuninio proceso atsiradimą.

Tyrimo tikslas – apžvelgti literatūros duomenis ir aptarti COVID-19 infekcijos sukelto AE etiologiją, patogenezę, klinikinę raišką, diagnostiką ir gydymą.

Authors: Liaudanskytė Gabija , Vaitkevičius Raimundas , Kropaitytė Monika
Published: February 2024

Delyras – dažna komplikacija intensyvios terapi­jos skyriuje (ITS). Šią būklę sukelti gali daug įvairių provokuojančių veiksnių. Delyras susijęs su didesniu mirtingumu, ilgesne dirbtinės plaučių ventiliacijos (DPV) trukme, ilgesne gydymo trukme ITS bei didesniais svei­katos priežiūros kaštais. Siekiant išvengti delyro, labai svarbu žinoti ir laiku atpažinti rizikos veiksnius, kurie didina jo išsivystymo tikimybę bei tinkamai taikyti pre­vencijos priemones.

Tyrimo tikslas − apžvelgti delyrą sąlygojančius rizikos veiksnius bei prevenciją intensyvios terapijos skyriuje.

Tyrimo metodai. Atlikta mokslinės literatūros apžvalga ir analizė. Publikacijų paieška buvo vykdoma anglų kalba tarptautinėse duomenų bazėse PubMed, ClinicalKey, UpToDate, Cochrane Library. Buvo naudojami raktiniai žodžiai anglų kalba ir jų deriniai: ICU delirium, deli­rium risk factors, delirium prevention (delyras intensy­vios terapijos skyriuje, delyro rizikos veiksniai, delyro prevencija). Šioje literatūros apžvalgoje išanalizuota 17 atrinktų straipsnių bei pateikti apibendrinti jų rezultatai.

Rezultatai. Dažniausi delyrą provokuojantys rizikos veiksniai yra DPV, sedacija, skausmas, karščiavimas, sepsis, įvairūs medikamentai, fizinis suvaržymas bei ilga hospitalizacijos ITS trukmė. Predisponuojantys veiksniai apima amžių, kvėpavimo takų ligas, pažinimo funkcijų ir regėjimo sutrikimus. Delyro rizika didesnė pacientams, sergantiems sunkia liga. Veiksmingiausios prevencijos priemonės, padedančios sumažinti delyro dažnį, yra ne­farmakologinės. Farmakologinių priemonių taikymas reikalauja didesnių tyrimų, kuriais būtų įrodytas jų po­veikio patikimumas.

Išvados. Pagrindiniai delyro rizikos veiksniai intensy­vios terapijos skyriuje skirstomi į predisponuojančius, kurie susiję su paciento individualiomis savybėmis ir yra nemodifikuojami, bei provokuojančius, kurie delyro pasireiškimo tikimybę didina, tačiau gali būti modifi­kuojami. Nors kai kurie tyrimai įrodo deksmedetomi­dino naudą delyro prevencijai, tačiau reikalingi platesni farmakologinių priemonių efektyvumo tyrimai. Delyro dažnį efektyviai mažina nefarmakologinės priemonės.

Tikslas. Šia literatūros apžvalga siekiama surinkti informaciją apie 3D spausdinimo technologiją ir jos pritai­kymą odontologijoje, rasti 3D spausdinimo technologijų rūšis, išsiaiškinti trimatės technologijos privalumus bei trūkumus.

Medžiaga ir metodai. Literatūros apžvalgai buvo ieškoma straipsnių, paskelbtų 2018-2023 m., parašytų anglų kalba, naudojant šiuos raktažodžių derinius Cochrane ir PubMed duomenų bazėse anglų kalba: (3D printing OR digital oral dentistry) AND (dental implant OR res­toration OR oral surgery) (liet. (3D spausdinimas AR skaitmeninė burnos odontologija) IR (dantų implantas AR restauracija AR burnos chirurgija)). Google Scholar paieškos sistemoje atlikta rankinė paieška.

Rezultatai. Atrinktas 21 mokslinis straipsnis, atitinkantis raktažodžius ir literatūros apžvalgai keliamus kriterijus. Pagrindinės odontologijoje naudojamos 3D spausdinimo technologijų rūšys: stereolitografija, skaitmeninis šviesos apdorojimas, selektyvus lazerinis lydymas, lydyto nusė­dimo modeliavimas. 3D spausdinimo panaudojimas ap­ima dantų implantų įsriegimo gidų, fizinių protezavimo bei burnos chirurgijos modelių, dantų, kaukolės, žandi­kaulių ir veido, ortopedinių karkasų gamybą.

Išvados. Supaprastintas skaitmeninių duomenų perkėli­mas nuo modelio ar tiesioginės intraoralinės struktūros teikia galimybę greitai bei tiksliai išgauti, o vėliau ir do­kumentuoti kiekvieną individualią paciento situaciją 3D formatu. Dėl sukurtų spausdinamų biomedžiagų galima paprasčiau kontroliuoti trimačių struktūrų karkasų vidinę bei išorinę formą, o skaitmeninės priemonės, įskaitant 3D technologiją, padeda kuo tiksliau atkurti anatomiškai tin­kamos formos struktūras. Norint išsiaiškinti ilgalaikę 3D spausdinimo įtaką gydymo planavimo tikslumui bei kom­plikacijų rizikos mažinimui, reikalingi tolesni tyrimai.

Published: February 2024

Detailed design requirements and foundational assumptions for forecasting digital twins in the context of power systems are explored and used in real-time forecasting in this study. Experimental validation of the forecasting methodology is demonstrated via an electro-thermal digital twin of power distribution cables for onboard power systems. The digital twin has the capability to forecast the thermal profile of cables by utilizing sensor measurements from the physical twin. When the predicted temperature reaches specific thresholds, the digital twin informs a decision maker to proactively adjust the power flow within the system to prepare for and avoid upcoming thermal constraints in the cable. This adjustment ensures that the physical cable does not reach specific thermal constraints, thereby enhancing system reliability. This proactive management will be essential to ensuring mission-critical power demand and avoiding load shedding. The concept has been experimentally verified using a three-bus configuration. The developed digital twin is computationally efficient, forecasting only when necessary, and offering an adjustable forecasting time-frame to accommodate a variety of operational scenarios.

This study aimed to explore the family caregivers (FCs) perception of patients’ symptom burden as well as their experience and satisfaction with specialized palliative care services (PCS) in a tertiary care center in Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA). Methods: A cross-sectional design assessed patients known to the PCS in a tertiary care center in Saudi Arabic from May 2023 to September 2023. FCs perceptions of patient’s symptom burden and satisfaction with PCS were studied through the Family Satisfaction with End-of-Life Care Scale (FAMCARE-2) and Arabic Questionnaire for Symptom Assessment (AQSA). Results: A convenience sample of 264 FCs agreed to participate (response rate = 94%). Approximately half of the participants were male (n=146; 55.7%). Participants were mostly aged between 30 to 50 years (n =148; 56%). Approximately half were receiving disease-modifying treatments. 101 (38.3%) had a Do-Not-Attempt-Resuscitation (DNAR) order. There was high satisfaction with how the services respected the dignity FCs (M = 4.6; SD=0.6). FCs were less satisfied with ‘the practical assistance provided by the PCS’ (M = 4.1; SD = 0.9). Satisfaction was higher in the outpatient setting (M = 4.3, SD = 0.7). The most severe symptom reported by FCs was ‘tiredness’, followed by ‘pain’. The mildest ones were ‘shortness of breath’, followed by ‘nausea/vomiting’. Conclusion: Overall, FCs have reported a positive experience with inpatient and outpatient PCS. FCs' greater satisfaction was observed in the outpatient setting with the possible rationale that inpatients are often more unstable and symptomatic.

Published: February 2024

Malt barley is a high-opportunity cash crop, with great room for profitable expansion, particularly when connected to growing breweries. With the intention of popularizing advanced malt barley varieties (IBON174/03 and HB-1963) on a large-scale demonstration farming approach, this activity was carried out in West Shewa Zone potential areas to increase production and productivity of malt barley technologies during 2020-2022 production seasons. West Shewa Zone was purposively selected based on agro-ecological zone as the target population for this cluster farming. From the Zone potential areas, three districts were randomly selected including Ambo, Toke kutaye and Elfeta Districts. From each district, 9 kebeles and 144 host farmers participated in this cluster based on their interest and availability of adjacent farm plots. Thus, 9 clusters were formed, and 60 ha of land was covered on improved malt barley technologies. Training was given for stakeholders for 144 farmers, 44 DAs, and 16 agricultural experts who worked in selected districts on barley production and management packages. The study found that the average yield from the IBON174/03 variety was 30qt ha-1, 29qt ha-1, and 28qtha-1 at Toke kutaye, Elfeta and Ambo districts, with an overall mean grain yield of 29qtha-1. The HB-1963 variety yielded 26 qt ha-1, 24 qt ha-1 at Toke kutaye, Elfeta and Ambo districts respectively for an overall grain yield of 25 qt ha-1. Therefore, from the researchers and farmers evaluation both demonstrated malt barley varieties were recommended for the study areas and similar agro-ecologies for further demonstration and dissemination.
