Authors: Al-Marzouqi Zalikha , Zakia Al-Mamari
Published: March 2024

Purpose: It is well known that anemia is one of the medical problems during pregnancy and it can be encountered through health education. However, the rate of iron deficiency anemia is increasing among pregnant women. This study sought to find the knowledge of pregnant women who were attending primary healthcare institutions in Oman regarding gestational anemia. Also to find out if there is an association between demographic data and women’s knowledge about gestational anemia during pregnancy.

Methodology: This study used a quantitative study, descriptive cross-sectional design. The researchers selected five primary healthcare institutions (Antenatal Clinics) in Sohar Wilayate in North Batinah Governorate in Oman to reach pregnant women who had been diagnosed with anemia. The data was collected via a questionnaire including two sections: participants’ sociodemographic characteristics and knowledge sections with 235 participants. The Cronbach's alpha coefficient of the scale was 0.72 and measured in different studies.

Findings: The results of this study showed that women in Oman had lack of knowledge regarding many aspects related to gestational anemia. For example, they did not know about the signs and symptoms, nutrition that prevent anemia, and the effect of anemia on pregnancy outcomes. Data also showed that knowledge was significantly associated among pregnant women who were above 40, highly educated, working, and multigravida.

Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: Knowing pregnant women's knowledge regarding gestational anemia could help the policymakers in the Ministry of Health formulate the best approach to offer health education and services for pregnant women with gestational anemia in Oman. This study came with many recommendations regarding knowledge, practice, and policy. Programs related to gestational anemia should be implemented to inform healthcare professionals, women, and their families about Iron deficiency anemia. Also, gestational anemia policy and guidelines are needed in healthcare institutions, and all healthcare professionals should be informed of the policy regularly. Healthcare professionals should be trained to educate and support women with gestational anemia during the antenatal and postnatal periods.

Advanced Seismic Data Analysis: Comparative study of Machine Learning and Deep Learning for Data Prediction and Understanding
Authors: Airlangga Gregorius
Published: March 2024

This study delves into the application of machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) techniques for the analysis of seismic data, aiming to identify and categorize patterns and anomalies within seismic events. Using a robust dataset, we applied three distinct clustering approaches: K-Means, DBSCAN, and an Autoencoder-based method, each offering unique perspectives on the data. K-Means clustering provided a fundamental partitioning of the data into five predefined clusters, facilitating the identification of broad seismic patterns. DBSCAN, a density-based clustering algorithm, offered insights into the spatial distribution and density of seismic events, adeptly pinpointing anomalies and outliers that signify unusual seismic activity. The Autoencoder, leveraging deep learning, excelled in capturing complex and non-linear relationships within the data, revealing subtle patterns not immediately apparent through traditional methods. The effectiveness of these clustering techniques was quantitatively evaluated using the Silhouette Score and the Davies-Bouldin Score, alongside visual assessments through PCA and t-SNE for dimensionality reduction. The results indicated that while K-Means provided clear partitioning, DBSCAN excelled in outlier detection, and the Autoencoder offered a balanced approach with its nuanced analysis capabilities. Our comprehensive analysis underscores the significance of employing a multi-methodological approach in seismic data analysis, as each method contributes uniquely to the understanding of seismic events. The insights gained from this study are valuable for enhancing predictive models and improving disaster risk management strategies in seismology. Future research directions include the integration of additional seismic features, validation against larger datasets, and the development of hybrid models to further refine the predictive accuracy of seismic event analysis.

STUDY OF THE STRUCTURAL AND ELECTRICAL EFFECTS OF THE T2−xAgxBa2Ca2Cu3O10+ SUPERCONDUCTING WITH PARTIAL REPLACEMENT OF SILVER WITH THALLIUM
Authors: Hamid ALI Alyaa , DAHISH Abd-Al-Kareem , Ali JASIM Kareem
Published: March 2024

In this manuscript, the partial substitution of thallium by silver and its effect on the superconducting properties of T2−xAgxBa2Ca2Cu3O10+ is studied with x = 0, 0.15 and 0.25. The samples were prepared by the solid state reaction method. The electrical conductivity was examined using the four probes technique to determine the critical temperature Tc. It was found that increasing the proportions of silver for all produced samples increases the critical temperature. It was also found that the best compensation ratio for x is 0.25, which gives the highest critical temperature, Tc. The ultrastructural properties of the samples were studied using X-ray diffraction. X-ray diffraction study showed that all the prepared samples had a tetragonal structure, with a clear change in the lattice constants. The results also showed that the samples were clearly affected by the replacement of silver with thallium. It was shown that the partial replacement of Tl with Ag promoted the formation of the superconducting 2223 phase

Authors: Sanz Cerezo Ana María
Published: March 2024

La valoración de una cara en la consulta de medicina estética está influenciada por factores subjetivos que hacen que la evaluación sea distinta según los clínicos o los pacientes. Existen también factores históricos, culturales y sociales que influyen en la valoración. Se analiza la evolución del concepto de belleza, según el perfil facial, a través de la historia del arte en comparación con la situación actual. Paralelamente se estudia si las preferencias entre la población general y los médicos estéticos coinciden con los valores considerados normales. Para ello se realizó una encuesta sobre el análisis morfológico del perfil labial sobre una muestra de 119 personas. Los encuestados, por debajo de los 30 años, presentan una preferencia significativa por los labios gruesos (Chi²=7,067; p<0,001), en consonancia con la evolución del concepto de belleza actual con partes del cuerpo anormalmente exageradas.
A Study on Impact of GST in Different Sectors in India
Authors: Dr. Prakash G. Patel
Published: March 2024

The Goods and Services Tax (GST) was a major change to India's tax system that was put into place to encourage economic growth and simplify taxes. The varied effects of GST on different parts of the Indian economy are explored in this research. With the elimination of tax cascades and the promotion of supply chain efficiency, GST has simplified the tax structure in the manufacturing sector. But there have been obstacles including adjustment periods and early compliance expenditures. The Goods and Services Tax (GST) has simplified and standardised taxes in the service industry, making it easier to do business and encouraging investment. However, at this time of change, several service industries did see brief interruptions. Furthermore, many enterprises that were not registered before are now joining the formal economy as a result of GST compliance requirements, which has caused a transition in the informal sector
Modelos normativos de liberdade segundo Honneth: A atualidade política da Teoria Crítica
Authors: Guedes de Lima Francisco Jozivan
Published: March 2024

O meu objetivo neste artigo consiste em pensar a atualidade política da Teoria Crítica a partir dos modelos normativos de liberdade reconstruídos por Honneth em Das Recht der Freiheit. A hipótese é que o êxito da vida público-democrática só é possível na perspectiva honnethiana à medida que os indivíduos alcancem níveis intersubjetivos de compreensão mútua da vivência social de suas liberdades para além da tutela jurídica e estatal da liberdade individual e da autorreflexão moral das ações. Apenas na realização da liberdade social é garantido o exercício do ethos democrático baseado na liberdade comunicativa, na cooperação, na integração social e na participação política com vistas a concretizar o valor da solidariedade. Sem liberdade social não há democrática plena.
Liberdade suspensa: a legislação e a ação das mulheres na antiguidade
Authors: Franklin Karen
Published: March 2024

Este artigo busca levantar questões sobre a atuação pública das mulheres na Antiguidade, levando em conta o status que as esposas apresentavam e a legislação que limitava sua mobilidade. Através de discussão sobre algumas mulheres singulares, Aspásia, Diotima e Xantipa, buscamos levantar hipóteses de que algumas tinham voz e eram ouvidas e outras desprezadas em suas manifestações. A singularidade da atuação de algumas contrasta com a legislação sobre elas, mas aponta na comédia de Aristófanes possibilidades de que as esposas atenienses poderiam articular redes sociais informais para influenciar na esfera pública. Da mesma forma, a República de Platão supõe uma cidade justa através da educação das guardiãs, possibilidade de atuação pública incomum na Antiguidade. Buscamos através dessa discussão levantar possibilidades de leitura sobre a liberdade suspensa das mulheres no mundo antigo.
Freedom of speech and cognitive vices. Kant's and current Kantian perspectives
Authors: Merle Jean-Christophe
Published: March 2024

Whereas liberal philosophers, from Mill to Rawls, traditionally make a plea for a very extensive freedom of opinion and of the press, invoking the no harm principle, in the last two decades, such liberal philosophers as Onora O’Neill and Jürgen Habermas, rightly worrying about the rise of antidemocratic and illiberal tendencies in the social media and on the increasing diffusion of fake news, advocate not only a self-limitation of the press, but also for substantial restrictions on the freedom of the press. Yet, their references to Kant and Mill entail a deep misunderstanding of their argument in favor of the freedom of opinion. This article attempts to demonstrate that, instead of sheltering public debates from wrong contents, one should promote the capacity of judgement of all individual participants against cognitive vices, which requires individuals to be exposed not only to true contents, but also to wrong and noxious contents.
Contradições do romantismo brasileiro: Santa Rita Durão, Gonçalves de Magalhães e o problema da conquista
Authors: Mantovani Rafael
Published: March 2024

Pretende-se examinar a relação contraditória entre algumas obras do romantismo brasileiro. Com a independência do Brasil, Ferdinand Denis e Almeida Garrett se arrogaram a tarefa de determinar as características do que seria uma literatura romântica efetivamente nacional. O indianismo e a valorização da natureza eram dois elementos imprescindíveis que ambos encontraram nas obras O Uraguai de Basílio da Gama e Caramuru de José de Santa Rita Durão, publicadas no século XVIII. Em meados do século XIX, Gonçalves de Magalhães decidiu escrever a obra épica efetivamente brasileira para homenagear o Segundo Reinado. Contudo, ao escolher o evento histórico em que poderia cantar a glória dos índios e dar vazão ao antilusitanismo da época, acabou expondo o problema da conquista, que vai de encontro à narrativa da soberania, e colocando no grito do exterminado a legitimidade do exterminador.
A luta contra a corrupção e a força dos delegados em Sergipe: usos e efeitos no jogo político estadual
Authors: Petrarca Fernanda Rios , Bomfim Fagner
Published: March 2024

Este artigo tem como objetivo analisar como a luta contra a corrupção em Sergipe, manifestada principalmente pelos inquéritos de âmbito policial, produziu efeitos significativos no jogo político estadual e na reconfiguração das lideranças regionais. Para isso demonstramos em que medida o forte investimento institucional em operações de combate a corrupção, as quais visam investigar políticos estaduais e municipais, funcionaram como uma janela de oportunidade política que permitiu a recomposição dos agrupamentos políticos em Sergipe conduzindo a uma transformação no recrutamento de novas lideranças. Nossa preocupação central consiste em destacar o impacto destas operações, seja mudando as relações de força permitindo, assim, a entrada de novas lideranças, seja nas carreiras profissionais possibilitando aos delegados a politização da luta anticorrupção e a reconversão das suas atuações em trunfos políticos eleitorais.
Gramáticas sociais e práticas políticas: uma análise da dinâmica sociopolítica e moral da relação capital-trabalho no Congresso Nacional brasileiro
Authors: Bevilaqua Vinicius Foletto
Published: March 2024

O tema do artigo se dirige à dinâmica sociopolítica e moral da relação capital-trabalho no Congresso Nacional brasileiro. O objetivo é analisar as gramáticas sociais mobilizadas e as práticas políticas perfomatizadas durante as audiências públicas da reforma trabalhista de 2017. Para analisar o objeto de estudo, criou-se o conceito de “gramática social”, junto do empréstimo dos conceitos de “prática social” (SCHATZKI, 2006) e “coalizão de defesa” (SABATIER, 1988). Analisaram-se seis audiências públicas ocorridas no Congresso Nacional com o auxílio teórico-metodológico da análise do discurso e da análise de conteúdo. Identificaram-se duas gramáticas sociais: a gramática da “modernização” e a gramática da “cidadania”. Cada gramática concebe as noções de “Estado”, “mercado”, “trabalho” e “legislação trabalhista” ao seu modo, sendo noções que se constroem histórica e coletivamente nos discursos políticos. Conclusivamente, argumenta-se que as gramáticas sociais e as práticas políticas se constituem através da dinâmica sociopolítica e moral do capitalismo brasileiro contemporâneo.
The current state and outlook of HIV infection and AIDS in South Korea
Authors: Choi Young Hwa
Published: March 2024

Background: Over the past decade, approximately 1,100 newly diagnosed cases of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection have been reported annually in South Korea, with 1,066 newly diagnosed cases reported in 2022. A decrease in HIV infection rate can be achieved only through coordinated prevention, diagnosis, and treatment. South Korea is lagging in the worldwide decreasing trend of HIV infection, and a brief review of this situation may suggest improvements necessary for progress.Current Concepts: In South Korea, the proportion of patients with CD4 cell count below 200 cells/mm3 at initial diagnosis of HIV infection remains high, suggesting that a significant population is diagnosed at the late stage of the disease. Since 2019, the Korean National Health Insurance Service began to cover the cost of preexposure prophylaxis for sexual partners of patients living with HIV, but few have started the regimen due to several barriers. Insurance criteria for a prophylaxis regimen should be modified, and accessibility to the regimen should be made available through multiple pathways. Proactive use of rapid HIV testing kits in community health centers and clinics should be expanded. Legal and administrative environments encouraging voluntary testing, early diagnosis, and treatment should be fostered. Medical personnel must be able to offer medical care without discrimination regardless of HIV infection status.Discussion and Conclusion: The HIV epidemic in South Korea has not yet decreased. To end it, efforts should be required across broad areas, including voluntary HIV testing, early diagnosis, active pre-exposure prophylaxis, a stigma- and discrimination-free social environment, and changes in legal and medical environments.
Diagnostic tests of HIV infection and AIDS
Authors: Hwang Sang-Hyun , Yang John Jeongseok , Oh Heung-Bum
Published: March 2024

Background: Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection presents a major global health challenge. According to the World Health Organization, approximately 39.0 million people have HIV, as of 2022, with 1.3 million new infections annually. In Korea, the first HIV cases were reported in 1985, and the number of cases has increased continuously since 1988. In 2022, 1,066 cases were newly diagnosed, increasing the total number of cases to approximately 15,880.Current Concepts: Diagnostics play a crucial role in the management of HIV, for early diagnosis and initiation of antiretroviral therapy. Approval of the first HIV antibody test in 1985 by the US Food and Drug Administration marked a notable advance in the ability to diagnose HIV infection. The screening test for HIV infection typically consists of a two-step approach, in which a fourth-generation combination HIV-1/2 immunoassay is followed by a confirmatory Western blot. Despite its high accuracy for chronic infections, the window period and the early-stage of HIV infections are problematic, and populations with low HIV prevalence show a low positive predictive value. A false positive result can occur from blood transfusions, vaccinations, and autoantibodies. Novel diagnostic tools, such as nucleic acid testing for viral RNA/DNA and antigen testing for p24 antigen have reduced the window period, allowing for earlier detection and differentiation between HIV-1 and HIV-2. Pointof-care tests are beneficial in resource-limited settings although their lower sensitivity and specificity require additional confirmatory follow-up testing.Discussion and Conclusion: In this review, we provide a historical perspective on the evolution of HIV diagnostics (serological and molecular) and describe the roles of conventional and point-of-care testing within the laboratory diagnostic network.
Healthcare policy to support people living with HIV infection and AIDS patients
Authors: Choi Jae-Phil
Published: March 2024

Background: Individuals living with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) encounter challenges throughout the care continuum, right from the time of diagnosis to the culmination of the treatment process.Current Concepts: The Republic of Korea, like many other countries, has been addressing the needs of people living with HIV (PLWH) by providing financial support for medical expenditures. Currently, HIV counseling specialist nurses offer psychological support at 28 institutions, assisting patients in maintaining viral suppression state and adhering to antiretroviral therapy. Care and welfare services are also provided by non-governmental organizations funded by the Korean Disease Control and Prevention Agency (KDCA). The accessibility of medical institutions for PLWH has seen gradual improvement, with KDCA issuing guidelines for healthcare facilities catering to this population. In addition, the legal and medical insurance coverage issues related to long-term care institutionalization have been addressed. However, PLWH continues to face challenges in treatment and hospitalization, especially with a recent increase in immigrant PLWH, highlighting a lack of support for undocumented immigrants seeking treatment.Discussion and Conclusion: Healthcare policies are shifting from merely managing, isolating, and treating PLWH to prioritizing their human rights. Going forward, it is imperative to empower PLWH and support their self-care efforts.
Social stigma and discrimination towards people living with HIV infection and AIDS patients
Authors: Kwon Sori , Seo Bo Kyeong , So Sunguk , Lee Sojoong
Published: March 2024

Background: Social stigma and discrimination are major barriers to an effective national response to human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), and there have been repeated calls to transform the current surveillance-focused policy. Serious instances of discrimination and clinical service failings increase the urgency and importance of addressing issues relevant to AIDS-related stigma. Yet, progress in achieving effective and people-centered responses to AIDS is insufficient.Current Concepts: Based on a comprehensive multi-sectoral review of a wide range of literature, this article examines the key features of AIDS-related stigma in South Korea and evaluates governmental and organizational efforts to redress them. Three major areas, of issues and possibilities for change, are identified: (1) addressing discrimination in health care settings, (2) decriminalization of HIV transmission, according to the Undetectable=Untransmittable (U=U) principle, (3) improving the quality of life and social inclusion of people living with HIV.Discussion and Conclusion: An extensive examination of existing evidence on AIDS-related stigma, guided by the authors’ long-term experience of public participation and civic empowerment, suggests that by placing these three issues at the center of the national response to AIDS, significant improvement in the AIDS care continuum is achievable. People-centered service delivery models that focus on dismantling structural barriers and incorporating leadership from key populations will enable high-impact public health responses to AIDS and HIV infection.

Authors: VAN SCHOORS Laetitia , FARCAS Fabienne
Published: March 2024

La pérennité des ouvrages géotechniques est liée à l’évolution dans le temps des caractéristiques mécaniques et hydrauliques des produits géosynthétiques. Après avoir analysé les causes chimiques et mécaniques du vieillissement des géosynthétiques, ce chapitre présente les conséquences du vieillissement des géosynthétiques sur les performances des ouvrages. Chaque polymère ayant des sensibilités différentes vis-à-vis du milieu dans lequel il se trouve, les conséquences du vieillissement sur ses performances sont abordées en fonction de la nature chimique du polymère.

Published: March 2024

Originaire d’Amérique le genre Vitis s’est dispersé en Asie et en Eurasie. C’est dans le Caucase et au Proche-Orient que la vigne a été domestiquée à partir de la lambrusque. L’hermaphrodisme a succédé à la séparation des sexes mâles et femelles et la couleur des baies s’est diversifiée. Un grand nombre de cépages sont répertoriés depuis l’époque romaine.
Les empreintes de la domestication dans le génome du mouton
Authors: HER Charlotte , POMPANON François
Published: March 2024

Premier animal d’élevage domestiqué il y a 10 500 ans au nord-ouest de l’Iran, à partir du mouflon asiatique, le mouton a connu une expansion dans le monde entier avec les migrations humaines. Aux caractéristiques initiales de domestication, en lien avec la sélection d’animaux plus dociles, s’ajoutent les variations génétiques pour des besoins spécifiques : le lait, la viande ou la laine.

Published: March 2024

La bactérie lactique Oenococcus oeni a accompagné depuis ses débuts la production du vin dont elle module le goût par diverses activités métaboliques. Les analyses génomiques récentes montrent une différenciation des souches du vin où pertes de gènes non essentiels, hypermutabilité, transfert horizontal de gènes et acquisition d’une résistance aux sulfites constituent des signes de domestication.

Classification of Rainfall-Runoff Events for Flood Analysis and Forecasting in Lower Saxony, Germany
Authors: Brandt Adina , Haberlandt Uwe
Published: March 2024

Local rainfall events, especially those with high precipitation levels in a short period of time, can cause extreme runoff in their associated catchment areas. The high variability of rainfall and runoff events makes it difficult to accurately calculate the risk of flooding. To improve the assessment of individual rainfall-runoff events, it is essential to analyze their frequency, intensity and the complex relationship between rainfall and runoff. This analysis leads to a better understanding of the involved processes, enabling more precise modeling and earlier recognition and prediction of runoff events.This study focuses on the Hannover radar range, which is primarily located in Lower Saxony, Germany. The rainfall events resulting from the radar data from the German Weather Service are classified into convective, stratiform and mixed rainfall based on their intensity, areal extent and duration. The associated rainfall-runoff events of various catchments in Lower Saxony will be further classified into three categories: long-rain floods, short-rain floods and flash floods.The results of this study are expected to demonstrate the relationship between rainfall and runoff events including the frequency of different types of rainfall-runoff events. Additionally, the study aims to identify the type of rainfall responsible for extreme rainfall-runoff events. The analysis will also consider the influence of catchment characteristics and initial conditions on the runoff.
Atmospheric Rossby wave second harmonic generation observed in the 2018–2019 sudden stratosphere warming event
Authors: He Maosheng , Forbes Jeffrey M.
Published: March 2024

Second harmonic generation (SHG) is widely used in nonlinear optics and radio science in various systems.  SHG broadens spectral variability and cascades energy across distinct spatial-temporal scales. Numerical simulations of SHGs of Rossby wave normal modes date back decades. In this study, we report an SHG event of a Rossby wave observed in the  atmosphere. Analyzing meteor-radar wind observations over the European and Asian sectors during the sudden stratosphere warming in winter 2018–2019, we identify two transient waves with periods of 16 and 8 days. Temporal evolution, frequency and wavenumber relations, as well as phase couplings revealed by bicoherence and bispectral analyses, confirm that the 16-day signature is an atmospheric manifestation of a Rossby wave normal mode, and its SHG generates the 8-day signature. Our findings validate the theoretically expected Rossby wave nonlinearity.The current work was publised and featured by Nature Communications at https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-022-35142-3
Simulation and scaling analysis of small-scale roughness in neutrally and stably stratified turbulent Ekman flow
Authors: Kostelecky Jonathan , Ansorge Cedrick
Published: March 2024

Atmospheric flows virtually always occur over rough surfaces, which enhances the drag, mixing and vertical transport of pollutants and moisture in the atmospheric boundary layer (ABL). During nighttime, when the absence of solar radiation leads to surface cooling, a stratified surface layer forms, and turbulence decreases in intensity and spatial extent, giving rise to large-scale intermittency. Roughness is known to counteract the buoyancy-induced reduction of turbulence in the stable regime by an increase of mixing, but the effects are lumped together in surface-layer similarity. To investigate the interaction of surface roughness and stable density stratification in the ABL at the process level, direct numerical simulation (DNS) of rough turbulent Ekman flow at Reynolds numbers well within the turbulent regime and for large domains is performed. Roughness is represented by an array of 56×56 roughness elements with a uniform width and height distribution on the lower wall. This small-scale three-dimensional surface roughness is fully resolved with an immersed boundary method (IBM) and has a packing density of 10%. For neutral stratification, we have obtained data in the transitionally rough regime and at the verge of the fully rough regime. Starting from the roughest neutral case with z0+≈2, stable stratification is gradually increased with a constant-temperature (Dirichlet) boundary condition. The focus of this study is the direct effect of roughness on the stability regime, the rough-wall scaling in the logarithmic layer and the scaling for the roughness parameters z-nought for momentum and temperature, which is crucial for the Monin–Obukhov similarity theory.* This work is funded by the ERC Starting Grant ”Turbulence-Resolving Approaches of the Intermittently Turbulent Atmospheric Boundary Layer [trainABL]” of the European Research Council (funding ID 851347). Simulations were performed on the resources of the High-Performance Computing Center Stuttgart (HLRS) on the Hawk cluster. The computing time and storage facilities were provided by the project trainABL with the project number 44187.
