Authors: AWAIS M , RASHEED AS , SALEEM MU
Published: July 2023

Type 1 diabetes (T1D) and celiac disease (CD) are common autoimmune diseases that may occur together in children. This research article examined the association between T1D and CD in children through a systematic review and meta-analysis of existing observational studies. A comprehensive literature search was conducted using electronic databases such as MEDLINE, Embase, and Cochrane Library. Studies reporting the prevalence of CD in children with T1D were included in the meta-analysis. The data were extracted, and a random-effects meta-analysis was performed to estimate the pooled prevalence of CD in children with T1D and the odds ratio (OR) for the association between T1D and CD. A total of 26 observational studies, comprising 28,422 children with T1D, were included in the meta-analysis. The pooled prevalence of CD in children with T1D was 6.0% (95% CI: 4.8%-7.3%), significantly higher than the estimated prevalence of CD in the general population. The OR for the association between T1D and CD was 3.81 (95% CI: 2.86-5.08), indicating a statistically significant positive association between the two conditions. This research article concludes a significant positive association between T1D and CD in children. The findings suggest clinicians should consider screening for CD in children with T1D to improve diagnosis and treatment outcomes. Further research is necessary to explore the underlying mechanisms of this association and its implications for clinical practice.

Identifying the Causes of Delay Using the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) Method in Brazilian Public Road Infrastructure Projects
Authors: Kayelle Erivânia , Rabbani Emilia Kohlman , Macedo Márcia
Published: July 2023

The highway infrastructure system plays an important role in a country whose continental extensions require an adequate transportation system to connect people and places and boost the economy. Delayed delivery of these projects is one of the most significant problems in the road construction industry and poses challenges to project success in terms of time, cost, quality, and safety. Some studies have carried out literature reviews, applied questionnaires and performed expert interviews, or used analytical methods such as machine learning and AHP (Analytic Hieraquircal Process) to identify factors that cause delays. The objective of this study was to identify the main delay factors in road infrastructure projects using the AHP analytic hierarchy process approach in the context of public works management in Brazil. This study consisted of two stages, the first being a search in databases and search engines, using keywords that point to studies on delay factors in road construction projects. After this, the criteria and sub-criteria were examined and classified, and the factors and causes of delays were ranked based on discussions with an expert and the application of a questionnaire, according to the AHP methodology. The supporting software used was SuperDecisions. The main factors (criteria) and sub-factors (sub-criteria) that influence delay were categorized according to the literature. The main factors were compiled into five criteria called: principal contractor, designer, manager, material/manpower/equipment, and external factors. Within these groups, 24 sub-factors that most influenced delay were initially selected. But after the consistency tests were not acceptable, a new selection was made, which considered in the analysis the 15 most influential sub-factors. According to the experts, the order of importance was: Contractor>External Factors>Materials>Manpower and Equipment>Manager>Designer. The most important sub-criterion according to the specialists in causing delays in Brazilian road infrastructure projects was climate. The study pointed out which factors should have priority in decision-making to avoid delays in public, government-funded road transportation projects in Brazil. By applying it, one can arrive at the variables that can be used to develop a prediction model that helps mitigate the risks of delay in public road infrastructure projects.

Authors: Aguilar Erasmo , Espinoza Pablo , Wiese Klaus
Published: July 2023

La gestión del riesgo de desastres es un componente del desarrollo local, incluyéndolo transversalmente desde los programas de educación y también políticas gubernamentales. Considerando las características e impactos que está generando el cambio climático en el mundo y Latinoamérica, y a pesar de la existencia de diferentes marcos normativos y operativos, son escasas las metodologías de abordaje específico del riesgo según amenazas. En Nicaragua, las amenazas hidrometeorológicas (específicamente la sequía e inundaciones) son una constante tanto en el Pacífico como en el Caribe. Este trabajo presenta los resultados de la situación de Nicaragua, en el periodo del 2022, ante afectaciones por tormentas tropicales y sequías, y además discute ciertas  metodologías aplicadas (como es el  INFORM), destacando la validez y utilidad para la gestión y elaboración de modelos hidrometeorológicos que permitan la proyección de escenarios e índices de riesgo en la toma de decisiones tempranas y acciones de mitigación. El artículo contine los resultados metodológicos y específicos rescatando reflexiones a partir de estudios y experiencias de otros autores acerca de la temática.

Published: July 2023

The Government's efforts in the bureaucratic reform policy are to make improvements by issuing Law Number 5 of 2014 concerning the State Civil Apparatus, one of the points of which is a paradigm shift in filling ASN positions which is fully carried out in the election mechanism by Baperjakat to a new method, namely open selection or commonly known as with the designation of auction positions, Analyzing Bureaucratic Neutrality in the Process of implementing the placement of ASN Primary High Leader Positions using the Position Auction Model in the Central Sulawesi Government Environment. This type of qualitative research uses a critical ethnographic analysis approach. There were 24 informants in this study. The selection of informants was carried out using a purposive sampling technique. The results of research in the process of implementing the auction for high leadership positions are still not based on a person's competence; there is still intervention in the appointment of high leadership positions. Therefore, it is necessary to have a new policy issued by the government in terms of handling human resources, especially in terms of the responsibilities of the position of ASN Primary High leadership.

Concrete is a material widely used in civil construction for structural elements. Due to this, there is an increasing concern about the knowledge of its deterioration state and safety. This stimulates research for methods that allow the evaluation of finished structures. Through the application of Nondestructive Testing (NDT) methods, it is possible to proceed with an investigation of the concrete structures. The application of NDT can contribute to problems diagnosis and quality control of concrete structures. Ultrasound Tomography (UT) tests are an attractive and feasible research strategy. UT allows mapping of the internal section of the object from projections of the same. The tomography uses an antenna, which in turn utilizes a series of dry contact point transducers that emit shear waves into the concrete structures. From the data collected by the equipment, 3D images of the element's reflected interfaces are generated. The present study aims to detect different anomalies that can be found in reinforced concrete slabs, verifying the potential of ultrasonic tomography for the detection of these anomalies. The study was performed by the technical team of the Structural Tests and Materials Laboratory at the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul (LEME / UFRGS).
Practical NDE and QC applications of time domain terahertz technology
Authors:   Baugh & Weedon, Buckley Joseph ,   Luna Innovations, Duling Irl
Published: July 2023

This is an introductory talk, which will briefly discuss the principles of the generation and

measurement of terahertz energy, look at its interaction with different materials and show

how these principles can be employed to perform inspections of a wide variety of nonconductive materials, including single or multi-layer plastic structures and coatings on both

conductive and nonconductive substrates.

Terahertz technology, using electromagnetic waves situated between microwaves and the

far infra-red, is another ‘tool in the box’ enabling accurate measurement of layer thickness,

location of metallic inserts, and detection of discontinuities in materials and configurations

that are unsuited for ‘conventional’ inspection approaches.

Terahertz investigations are non-harmful, non-contact and normally can be applied from

one side of a part.

This talk will discuss the applicability of this technology to several practical applications in

the aerospace, manufacturing, energy, construction and oil and gas industries. This

includes applications where the technology has been implemented into production, and

others where it has been investigated, shown to be feasible, but not yet implemented due to

external factors.

We will also mention its application in several ‘cultural heritage’ investigations.

Brief details of equipment used will be discussed and an outline case study showing

development of a technique and the accuracy which can be obtained will be presented.
Kant on the Nature of Logical and Moral Laws
Authors: Mezzadri Daniele ,   Saint Louis University
Published: July 2023

In this article I engage with a recent debate vis-à-vis Kant’s conception of logic, which deals with whether Kant saw logical laws as normative for, or rather as constitutive of, the faculty of understanding. On the former view, logical laws provide norms for the correct exercise of the understanding; on the latter, they define the necessary structure of the faculty of understanding per se. I claim that these two positions are not mutually exclusive, as Kant held both a normative and a constitutive conception of logic. I also sketch a parallelism between Kant’s conceptions of logic and of ethics: Kant’s twofold conception of logic parallels his view of moral laws as normative (for the human will) but constitutive (of a holy will).
LOS GUIONES DE LA SEXUALIDAD: ¿QUÉ REPRESENTA LA PORNOGRAFÍA?
Authors: Giami Alain
Published: July 2023

Este ensayo se basa en las reflexiones iniciadas durante la década del ´70. Propone un análisis de las películas porno y de la pornografía en términos de guiones (scripts) y de micro puntos (microdots). Está basado en los trabajos de Gagnon y Simon (1986) y de Stoller (1991). A partir del análisis de estos autores se discute los desarrollos recientes de la pornografía, tanto de las producciones visuales como de los estudios sobre la misma. Se observa que la construcción de los estudios sobre la temática (porn studies) proponen una nueva delimitación de un campo epistémico con una axiología implícita, lo que exigiría una imbricación del episteme y de la doxa. Se observa un cambio en la forma de narración, pasando de lo complejo a lo más condensado, tipo “micropuntos”. Nos enfrentamos a una diversificación de la estética, a través de la cual la pornografía se hace más accesible a un público más amplio. Esto implica que, actualmente, es aún más urgente entender la complejidad del fenómeno porno y lo que está representado en el mismo.
Implementation of Straight Term, Weighted Average, and Term Weighted Matched-Maturity Fund Transfer Pricing (FTP) on Indonesian Bank
Authors: Baskara Gregorius Ivan , Prijadi Ruslan
Published: July 2023

Transfer pricing in the banking industry has a huge impact on maintaining risks and strategic decision-making for preserving competitive advantage in the market. As a best practice, the bank owns an Asset & Liabilities Management (ALM) function assigned to control internal pricing, named Fund Transfer Pricing (FTP), to regulate the inter-division fund pricing between the Funding Division and the Lending Division. While the FTP implementation provisions of a bank are not regulated due to management’s appetite, the FTP calculation methods are definitively established based on several research studies. The most sophisticated method is named Match-Maturity, by reason of matching every banking product’s tenor to the yield curve and calculating them by the repayment behavior. This paper aims to study the significance of the Match-Maturity FTP (MM-FTP) method on a bank in Indonesia which currently apply the Multiple-Pool FTP (MP-FTP) method. To achieve the set objective, the study performed the FTP calculation of identical banking products including samples and all population utilizing MP-FTP and MM-FTP. The result shows 10 out of 11 groups of product and segment experienced over-charged or over-credited employing MP-FTP, which lead to inaccurate evaluation of balance sheet management and performance measurement.

Published: July 2023

This document describes NIST’s approach to mapping the elements of documentary standards, regulations, frameworks, and guidelines to a particular NIST publication, such as CSF Subcategories or SP 800-53r5 controls. This approach is intended to be used to map relationships involving NIST cybersecurity and privacy publications that will be submitted via the NIST National Online Informative References (OLIR) process for hosting on NIST’s online Cybersecurity and Privacy Reference Tool (CPRT). The approach will provide flexibility to capture relationships for various levels of concepts and in different degrees of detail in human-consumable, machine-readable formats. The approach is informed by concept system and terminology standards, as well as experience with what information the security and privacy community would find most valuable.
A New Great Awakening: Be Tradition of Radical Christian Discipleship and the Current Transformational Moment in the United States
Authors: Poks Małgorzata
Published: July 2023

This article argues that the USA has had a lasting tradition of radical Christian discipleship. Thee revival of interest in a radically understood socio-economic program of the Bible among the newly emerging intentional communities reflects the moral passion of the older faith-inspired reform movements that helped abolish slavery, introduce universal suffrage, and establish civil rights. The reformist goals of the radical Christian movement, sometimes hailed as another Great Awakening, resonate deeply with the demands of the Occupy Generation and its fundamental concern about values and identity. Like the young Occupiers, the faith-based activists for social justice challenge Americans to rethink who they are and who they want to be. Having defined the tradition of radical Christian discipleship, I then proceed to reclaim the legacy of two of its icons-Ammon Hennacy and Jim Corbett-as embodiments of two different facets of the phenomenon.

Published: July 2023

This work adds 152 new records of bats to those already mentioned in the Atlas y Libro Rojo de los Mamíferos Terrestres de España (Palomo et al. 2007). The records were obtained between 2002 and 2009 in the Region of Murcia (SE Spain). This study brings the total number of bat species recorded in the region to twenty, the common pipistrelle (Pipistrellus pipistrellus) being the most cited, and the Nathusius’s pipistrelle (Pipistrellus nathusii) the least. The paper increases the known distribution of a great number of species and provides some data on the biology and behaviour of some of them. The use of different sampling techniques, along with echolocation call analysis, significantly increases the knowledge of the distribution of all these bat species, particularly of forest and fissure roosting species.
