Climate Change and Health: Health Academics Could Do More to Build Upon the Success of Virtual Conferences During the Covid-19 Pandemic
Authors: Pelosi Luciana , Blumhardt Hannah
Published: August 2024

Climate change is the greatest global health threat of the 21st century. Urgent mitigating interventions are needed to stop the current trend and prevent catastrophic irreversible damage to human health. Health practitioners and scientists have a special responsibility to reduce carbon emissions from all health sectors, and to lead by example by minimizing their own contribution. For the health academic community this contribution mainly comes from long-distance global travel to attend scientific and educational meetings. The COVID-19 pandemic travel restrictions and social distancing requirements offered an invaluable opportunity to assess the feasibility and effectiveness of virtual conferences. This experience showed that the virtual approach was not only as feasible as in-person, but significantly more effective in reducing carbon emissions while also increasing accessibility and inclusion for attendees across the world. However, once the restrictions were lifted, in-person attendance was rapidly reinstated as the sole method for most events or, in a hybrid format with virtual attendance. This could be due to lack of awareness or even misinformation amongst the health community about the connection between climate change and human health outcomes. Climate change and its impact on health should have greater consideration in the education of health professionals, and effective mitigating measures should receive more focus and normalisation through positive messaging in current affairs, medical publications and social media.

Authors: Konopnicki Deborah , Wit Victoria , Delforge Marc , Cadière Guy-Bernard , Wit Stephane
Published: August 2024

Objectives: Obesity and related comorbidities are increasing among people living with HIV (PLWH). This study compared the evolution of severe obesity and related comorbidities in PLWH with (cases) or without (controls) bariatric surgery (BS). Methods: Monocentric retrospective comparison of PLWH with severe obesity (body mass index (BMI) ≥40 kg/m2 or BMI ≥ 35 together with ≥ 1 comorbidity (diabetes, dyslipidemia, arterial hypertension, sleep apnea, cardiovascular events)) between cases at baseline, 1, 2, 5 and 10 years after BS or as controls matched (1:3) on age, gender, ethnicity and severe obesity criteria. Results: Between 2006 and 2019, we included 27 cases and 73 controls: 84% female, median age 43 years, 78% originated from sub-Saharan Africa; median time with HIVRNA <50 cp/ml 6 years in both groups. BMI decreased from 41 (baseline) to 29 kg/m2 at 2 years after BS (p=0.002) while controls remained at 37 kg/m2 both at baseline and 2 years. At 5 and 10 years, BMI was ≤31 in cases while controls remained ≥ 35 kg/m2. Comorbidities favorable evolution at 2 years occurred in 50% of cases versus 12.5% in controls for diabetes, 44% versus 0 (p=0.006) for hypertension and 90% versus 0 (p<0.0001) for sleep apnea. Post-operative complications rate was 11% and HIV infection remained under control after BS. Conclusion: Bariatric surgery is a safe and efficient treatment of severe obesity and its related comorbidities among patients with well-controlled HIV at short, middle and long terms with no impact on control of HIV disease.
Objective evaluation of liver fibrosis using ultrasound microscopy
Authors: Miura Katsutoshi , Iwashita Toshihide
Published: August 2024

Background: Chronic liver damage, such as viral hepatitis, causes liver fibrosis. Recently, the advent of interferon (INF) and antiviral drugs has reduced hepatitis viruses, enabling liver function recovery and fibrosis improvement. A quantitative assessment of liver fibrosis is mandatory to identify treatment efficacy. Aim: We aimed to apply speed-of-sound (SOS) values for the objective assessment of fibrosis in liver biopsy because SOS values correlate with stiffness. Methods: We differentiated SOS images of pre- and post-treatment INF liver. We then compared the SOS values with the fibrosis score and magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) values. We tried to digest sections with collagenase to clarify the process of fibrosis deletion. Results: After INF therapy, SOS images demonstrated a marked reduction in fibrosis in the lobules. SOS values were well correlated with the fibrosis score and slightly corresponded to MRE values. Perisinusoidal fibrosis was susceptible to collagenase digestion. Portal areas were minimal. Conclusion: The SOS value, which objectively evaluates fibrosis in tissue sections, is an excellent indicator. It assesses fibrosis progression and reduction post-treatment.
Characteristics of Attentional Focus of Movement among Adults who Stutter
Authors: Murase Shinobu
Published: August 2024

Certain conditions are known to eliminate stuttering immediately. These conditions are referred to as fluency-inducing conditions, and they infer abnormalities of attentional characteristics among people who stutter. The aims of this study were to elucidate how the motor performance of stutterers is influenced by attentional foci: external focus of attention and internal focus of attention. A typing task involving sequential key pressing was conducted under the external focus and internal focus conditions among 13 adults who stutter and 12 matched control adults who do not stutter. Typing accuracy and typing speed were analyzed. The results revealed that the typing speed was significantly lower under the internal focus condition than the external focus condition in both groups, indicating that internal focus reduces the efficiency of finger movement compared to external focus. Moreover, for adults who stutter, typing accuracy also decreased significantly under the internal focus condition. It is speculated that adults who stutter are more vulnerable to disruptions in motor control under internal focus conditions than adults who do not stutter. The clinical implications of these findings are discussed. Keywords: stuttering, focus of attention, finger movement, motor performance

Five-year survival rate for pancreatic cancer patients has increased to 12.8% after the initial diagnosis, still making it one of the deadliest cancer types. This disease is known as the “silent killer” because early detection is challenging due to the location of the pancreas in the body and the nonspecific clinical symptoms. The Bossmann group has developed ultrasensitive nanobiosensors for protease/arginase detection comprised of Fe/Fe3O4 nanoparticles, cyanine 5.5, and designer peptide sequences linked to TCPP. Initial data obtained from both gene expression analysis and protease/arginase activity detection in serum indicated the feasibility of early pancreatic cancer detection. Several matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs, -1, -3, and -9), cathepsins (CTS) B and E, neutrophil elastase, and urokinase plaminogen activator (uPA) have been identified as candidates for proximal biomarkers. In this study, we have confirmed our initial results from 2018 performing serum sample analysis assays using a larger group sample size (n=159), which included localized (n=33) and metastatic pancreatic cancer (n=50), pancreatitis (n=26), and an age-matched healthy control group (n=50). The data obtained from the eight nanobiosensors capable of ultrasensitive protease and arginase activity measurements were analyzed by means of an optimized information fusion-based hierarchical decision structure. This permits the modeling of early-stage detection of pancreatic cancer as a multi-class classification problem. The most striking result is that this methodology permits the detection of localized pancreatic cancers from serum analyses with around 96% accuracy.

Lifestyle Behavioral Strategies for Weight Loss in Older Adults
Authors: Scarcella Julia , Smitherman Sarah , Miller Gary
Published: August 2024

There is a rising prevalence of both obesity (defined as a body mass index of > 30.0 kg/m2) and the number of individuals over the age of 60 years. Currently ~40% of older adults are obese and the number of individuals over the age of 65 is expected to reach 82 million by 2050. Obesity is also estimated to affect 50% of older adults in next few decades. This combination makes this a very concerning health issue. While intentional weight loss benefits young- to middle- aged adults, this is not so clear with older adults. Due to the loss of fat free mass, including skeletal muscle and bone mineral density, there is an increased risk of impaired physical function, fractures, and even mortality in this older cohort. Complicating whether to advise older adults to attempt to lose weight or not is the fact that about 1 in 5 individuals rescind and gain back most if not all of lost weight. This weight regain is mostly as fat and it is deposited into ectopic fat depots, potentially making cardiometabolic risk worse. Caloric restriction using a variety of diet patterns and macronutrient distributions can be successful, at least in the short-term. Additionally, combining resistance and aerobic exercise training with caloric restriction seems to provide the best results with regards to protecting loss of skeletal muscle and bone mineral density. Finally, time restricted eating is a novel approach for combating the detrimental effects of obesity and aging.
A child with Epileptic and nonepileptic Head Drops
Authors: Daga Subhashchandra
Published: August 2024

This paper aims to document a case of head drops with distinct epileptic and nonepileptic phases. A baby, born at term and weighing 2.9 kg, developed seizures and hypoglycemia (blood sugar 39 mg/dl) at 24 hours of age. She received special care for 24 hours and advice to continue phenobarbital for one year. Tonic- clonic seizures recurred at six weeks of age and were controlled by a combination of four-drug anticonvulsants. The treatment was tapered off after two years of seizure-free interval. At seven years of age, the tonic-clonic convulsions reappeared, only to be replaced by head drops after eight months of intensive antiseizure treatment. The head drops were nonepileptic for two years and epileptic later on before subsiding altogether with a new antiseizure combination. Cognition rapidly improved afterward.

Published: August 2024

Regardless of the suspected cause of death, the post-mortem examination should always be done where deaths (related to sudden and unexpected demise), come under the jurisdiction to determine the cause and manner of the death. Various incidental findings are identified during microscopic examination which may or may not be the contributing factor for cause of death. This findings may have been a great learning tool for pathologists. So, an autopsy study of heart was conducted to find out the various histopathological changes.

To study the spectrum of histomorphological changes in heart in autopsies.

The study was conducted in the Department of Pathology, North Bengal medical college, West Bengal for a period of 2 years from August 2021 to August 2023. Total 143 autopsy specimen was received during this period, specimen of heart received were 139, 06 were autolysed. So 133 specimens of heart were examined macroscopically and microscopically to see the different histopathological findings.

In our study most of the heart received in the age group of 21 -30 yrs. 72.1% cases showed fatty tissue interposition, 59.4% showed myocardial hypertrophy, 39.8% showed myocyte fibrosis, 31.57% showed inflammatory infiltration within myocyte, 22.5% showed atherosclerosis and thrombus within coronary vessels found in 6.7%.

The most common finding in our study is fatty tissue interposition within myocyte which differs from previous studies which showed atherosclerosis as the most common findings.

Legal protection of persons with reduced mobility in international air transport
Authors: Kunert-Diallo Agnieszka
Published: August 2024

This paper examines air transport regulations from the perspective of persons with disabilities including persons with reduced mobility (PRM). The air transport sector has been the most advanced in terms of regulations that allow all passengers regardless of their disability to travel without barriers. In this regard, the author analyses European and US regulations that are prevalent in international air transport. The definition of PRM has been broader in transport regulations than in other regulations dealing with the rights of persons with disabilities. The rights of PRM have not been covered by an international treaty. The author identifies and examines some aspects that may have given rise to conflicts of law in international transport by air where at least two jurisdictions are involved. To do so, the comparative method of legal research has been applied, but the investigation of the law in force has helped to examine some nuances in terminology, including the definition of PRM.

The problem of achieving completeness and unity of objective, subjective, and virtual reality is considered in relation to the applied tasks of designing interactive user interfaces. Within the framework of constructing an immersive envi-ronment using modern information technologies, the problem of forming an ontology of perception is investigated. The key role of a sign in information interaction is highlighted, taking into account the individual characteristics of its per-ception by users of virtual reality. In an immersive environment, virtual signs can be embodied both as observable ob-jects with varying degrees of realism and directly in the form of signs, both graphic and text, that have a specific loca-tion in space. The proposed approach allows for setting an algorithm for visual impact on a person by dynamically forming a sequence of signs. The formed sequences create a queue of visual stimuli that adjust the tempo-rhythm of the user's interaction with the computer system. The signs observed by the user can be classified as iconic signs corre-sponding to conventional symbols or pictograms, index signs acting as pointers to other objects and marking space for orientation purposes, and symbolic signs signaling or warning about changes in an object, event, or phenomenon. The article considers test examples of user behavior in a virtual reality environment. The proposed approach is implement-ed in a software system for psychological diagnostics and rehabilitation. A special feature of the system is the control of patient involvement based on the analysis of the dynamics of head movements, facial movements, and gaze trajec-tory using artificial neural networks. In case of distraction or loss of interest, the computer system adapts the user inter-face by adding visual stimuli according to specified pragmatic rules. The application of the obtained results has ena-bled the adaptation of the user interface and created the possibility for a personalized approach to the provision of medical services.
Munkaerő-áramlás Magyarországon 2002–2021 között teljes körű adminisztratív adatok alapján
Authors: Erdélyi Levente , Szabó Lajos Tamás
Published: August 2024

In our study, we present the job-to-job entry and exit rates based on the comprehensive, anonymous database of the Hungarian State Treasury, categorised by social groups, firm sizes and geographical locations from 2002 to 2021. We filtered out the distortions in the administrative data (e.g. due to corporate restructuring), from the labour flows. Job-to-job rates were procyclical over these 20 years, while the rate of entries and exits responded less to the cyclical state of the economy. The regional pattern of entry and exit rates correlates with the development level of districts. Men switch jobs more frequently than women. The probability of changing jobs diminishes with age. Job-to-job flows of the younger age group are also more sensitive to economic conditions. Employees in jobs requiring lower qualifications are more likely to change jobs. Large companies have the lowest turnover rate as a proportion of their workforce.
Towards Human-AI Symbiosis
Authors: Smit Danie , Eybers Sunet , Van der Merwe Alta
Published: August 2024

Organisations need to adopt AI successfully and responsibly. AI’s technical capabilities make AI powerful. However, the implementation of AI in organisations is not limited to the technical elements and requires a more holistic approach. An AI implementation within an organisation is a sociotechnical system, with the interplay between social and technical components. Considering the sociotechnical nature of AI in organisations, the following research question arises: From a sociotechnical perspective, how can an organisation increase adoption of AI as part of its quest to become more data-driven? In light of the research question, we propose to create a sociotechnical artificial intelligence adoption framework with a target audience of both academics and practitioners. This study follows a design science research approach, constituting various iterative cycles. The study is conducted at an automotive manufacturer’s IT Hub based in South Africa and has the aim to gain concrete, contextual, in-depth knowledge about a specific real-world organisation. To achieve this, focus groups serve as the primary research method. As the organisation at which the study took place is seen as a global leader in industrial digital transformation, the experience can help researchers and other organisations understand how an organisation can increase the adoption of AI.
A conceptual framework for agility in sociotechnical contexts
Authors: Lillie Theresa , Eybers Sunet , Gerber Aurona
Published: August 2024

Organisational agility is crucial for organisations to thrive in dynamic business environments. While the Information Systems (IS) discipline recognises the need for IS to support organisational agility, current IS research has not sufficiently explained how organisations achieve agility given their sociotechnical contexts. Some scholars and practitioners propose scaling agility-building approaches from small software development teams to the enterprise level, and others argue that agility is not a predetermined outcome of linear processes, but instead emerges from intricate organisational contexts. Previous research proposed a conceptual model that identified the structural components of agility in IS. However, this structural perspective does not address the dynamic aspects of agility. To address this gap, two systematic literature reviews (SLR) were conducted to develop a conceptual framework for agility in sociotechnical contexts, which is the contribution this research makes to the IS field. The first SLR investigated frameworks that enable organisational agility. Consequently, the Cynefin framework was adopted to explain the dynamics of contextualised decision-making and agility. The second SLR identified the influence of heuristics on decision-making and dynamic capabilities. The resulting framework integrates the structural and dynamic aspects of agility in IS and explains how heuristics could potentially be managed to improve sociotechnical agility.
Authorship, co-authorship, and creativity in architecture. Drawing, notation and representation
Authors: Marcos Carlos L. , Garofalo Vincenza , Allepuz Pedreño Ángel
Published: August 2024

The notion of authorship in architecture has been connected to the prominence of drawing as an autographic record of the design process since the Renaissance. The conditions and limits considering the co-authorship of a work are analyzed and a classification is proposed in relation to the different ways of considering authorship within the complex process of architectural production when several actors are involved. The role of creativity in this process is also studied regarding the context of the disciplinary past. Finally, we analyze the progressive fading of authorship concerning this graphic record of the process with the emergence of new technologies or the progressive transdisciplinary specialization that spurs the consideration of other kinds of non-graphic relationships between author and work.
Urban expansion and conflicts in the management of the territory: Case of Santo Tomás (Cusco, Peru)
Authors: Rendón Sisko
Published: August 2024

The urban-rural conflicts in the city of Santo Tomás have contributed to the disorderly growth of the population, due in part to the deficiencies of urban planning and especially due to the territorial conflict. The study has focused on the urban-rural relationship (district and provincial capital versus peasant community) that is framed in a scenario of rapid growth of the city towards the territory of the peasant community. The objective of this study was to identify deficiencies in territorial and urban management, as well as their relationship with regulatory mechanisms related to urban development. The work methodology consisted of the analysis of the legal instruments for urban management and territorial management by the peasant community; For this, interviews were carried out with key social actors. The results indicate a gap in these aspects in Peruvian legislation, as well as a complex network of interests that does not contribute to the resolution of urban management problems.

Inter-Branch Differentiation of Actions Concerning Historical and Cultural Heritage: Issues of Theory and Practice
Authors: Khalikov Iskander A. ,   Professor of the Department of Prosecutor’s Supervision over Law
Published: August 2024

The article considers the conditions for distinguishing crimes from related administrative offenses, which, in relation to acts related to historical and cultural heritage, are in a state of permanent intersectoral competition. It is recognized that the presence or absence of consequences is the most reliable and least controversial criterion for distinguishing criminal and administrative responsibility for acts committed in relation to historical and cultural heritage, since the crimes provided for in art. 243, 2431, 2432, 2434 of the Criminal code of the Russian Federation have a material structure. In this regard, it is concluded that the basis for intersectoral differentiation of responsibility for acts in relation to historical and cultural heritage should be criminally punishable harm to its elements in the form of damage, destruction and (or) loss of axiological significance, whereas administrative responsibility should be determined by creating a danger of such destructive consequences as a result of violation requirements for their preservation and (or) modern use. Due to such intersectoral differentiation, the law enforcement officer will be limited in the possibility of selective enforcement. At the same time, the proportionality of the distribution of the repressive burden will be based on public danger, determined by the nature of the consequences of the committed act.

Self-Regulation and a Conflict of Interests: Ontological Prerequisites and Special Aspects of the Legal Regulation
Authors: Filatova Ulyana B. ,   Vice-Rector for Strategic Development, Digital Transformation
Published: August 2024

The work is devoted to the study of the specifics of the legal category “conflict of interest” in the field of self-regulation. It has been established that the very idea of self-regulation is ontologically based on a conflict of interest, which consists in giving the SRO the opportunity to establish mandatory norms and standards of behavior for itself and its members, and to monitor their compliance itself. Analyzing the norms governing the conflict of interests in the field of SRO, based on the content of regulation and its orientation, as well as from the point of view of the legal force of the regulator by which they are established, the author highlights, firstly, the norms that consolidate measures aimed at eliminating or reducing conflicts of interest, which can be established by law, as well as standards and rules installed by the SRO itself. Secondly, measures to prevent or resolve conflicts of interest, which can be established in addition to standards and rules by the charter of the SRO.

The author indicates the financial model of contract system institution and substantiates the significant controversy of the Law on contract system to the Civil Code of the Russian Federation. Thus the author considers the fault of the institute of contract system itself. It is proved the inner fault because of insufficiently thought-out conceptual apparatus of the Law on contract system. Contradiction and disunity of the Law on contract system is justified, that leads to the lack of unity because of the weak legal technique when preparing the law, what is evidenced by constant and numerous amendments of Law on contract system designed to eliminate the inaccuracies. The author considers that the result of these problems and shortcomings of the Law on contract system being evidence of unrealization unity of contract system principle is lack of uniform application practice of that law.

The Сonstitutional Role of Laws and Constitutio Populi in Republican Rome
Authors: KOFANOV Leonid Lvovitch ,   Professor of the Department of International Law of the Russian State University of Justice
Published: August 2024

The article analyzes the widespread scientific concept according to which the ancient Roman Republican ‘constitution’ was unwritten, based mainly on customs, and not on laws adopted by the people. However, the analysis of the main authors of the late III — early I centuries BC (Cato the Elder, Polybius and Cicero) suggests that the Roman state structure, the so-called ‘mixed constitution’, was formed in Rome precisely on the basis of laws, as the main means of the Roman people in the struggle against the Patrician Senate for their freedom in the Vth — III centuries BC. Starting with the ancient ‘constitutions’ of the Roman kings Romulus and Numa Pompilius, through the first republican laws and especially through the Legislation of the XII tables, and then through subsequent laws, the balance of three branches of government was laid: magistrates, senate and people, which allowed Rome to ensure its power throughout all the Mediterranean for a long time. The tradition of understanding the state (civitas) and ‘law’ (lex) as a direct ‘establishment of the people’ (constitutio populi) existed even in the era of the Empire and the early Middle Ages, when popular assemblies no longer non were in real life.
