Contribution of electric self-forces to electromagnetic momentum in a moving system
Authors: Singal Ashok K.
Published: February 2023

In moving electromagnetic systems, electromagnetic momentum calculated from the vector potential is shown to be proportional to the field energy of the system. The momentum thus obtained is shown actually to be the same as derived from a Lorentz transformation of the rest-frame electromagnetic energy of the system, assuming electromagnetic energy-momentum to be a 4-vector. The energy-momentum densities of electromagnetic fields form, however, components of the electromagnetic stress-energy tensor, and their transformations from rest frame to another frame involve additional contributions from stress terms in the Maxwell stress tensor which do not get represented in the momentum calculated from the vector potential. The genesis of these additional contributions, arising from stress in the electromagnetic fields, can be traced, from a physical perspective, to electric self-forces contributing to the electromagnetic momentum of moving systems that might not always be very obvious. Such subtle contributions to the electromagnetic momentum from stress in electromagnetic fields that could be significant even for non-relativistic motion of the system, lead in fact, to resolution of some curious riddles in the electromagnetic momentum of such systems, e.g., the apparent paradox of a nil electromagnetic momentum in a charged parallel-plate capacitor, moving perpendicular to the plate orientations, in spite of the moving system carrying finite electromagnetic energy within it. Such contributions from stress in electromagnetic fields also provide a natural solution to the famous, century-old, enigmatic factor of 4/3, encountered in the electromagnetic momentum of a moving charged sphere.
Non-Stationary Large-Scale Statistics of Precipitation Extremes in Central Europe
Authors: Fauer Felix S. , Rust Henning W.
Published: February 2023

Extreme precipitation shows non-stationary behavior over time and is dependent on large-scale variables. For a classical frequency-intensity analysis this effect is often neglected. Here, we propose a model including the influence of North Atlantic Oscillation, time, surface temperature and a blocking index. The model features flexibility to use annual maxima as well as seasonal maxima to be fitted in a generalized extreme value setting. To further increase the efficiency of data usage, maxima from different accumulation durations are aggregated so that information for extremes on different time scales can be provided. Our model is trained to individual station data with temporal resolutions ranging from one minute to one day across Germany. Models are chosen with a stepwise BIC model selection and verified with a cross-validated quantile skill index. The verification shows that the new model performs better than a reference model without large-scale information. Also, the new model enables insights into the effect of large-scale variables on extreme precipitation. Results suggest that the probability of extreme precipitation increases with time since 1950 in all seasons. High probabilities of extremes are positively correlated with blocking situations in summer and with temperature in winter. However, they are negatively correlated with blocking situations in winter and temperature in summer.
The effect of lipid metabolism disorder on the immune microenvironment in Xinjiang patients with hyperuricemia using Multi-Omics analysis
Authors: Ma Lili , Wang Jing , Ma Li , Ge Yan , Wang XianMing
Published: February 2023

Objectives The characteristics of lipid metabolism and key pathway regulatory factors in Xinjiang hyperuricemia patients were analyzed by multiomics to observe the influence of lipid metabolism disorder on the immune microenvironment in Xinjiang patients with hyperuricemia. Methods Serum samples were collected from 60 hyperuricemia patients (case group) and 60 normal people (control group). We analyzed the differential lipid metabolites and enrichment pathways in two groups by using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS). We measured the levels of immune factors CPT1, SEP1, IL-6, IL-10, TNF-α, TGF-β1, Glu, and LD by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and verified dysregulation of lipid metabolism in hyperuricemia. Results The results demonstrated that the 33 differential lipid metabolites were significantly upregulated in hyperuricemia patients. These lipid metabolites are involved in five metabolic pathways, including glycerophospholipid metabolism, linoleic acid metabolism, alpha-Linolenic acid metabolism, glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchor biosynthesis, and Arachidonic acid metabolism. Moreover, CPT1, SEP1, IL-6, IL-10, TNF-α, TGF-β1, Glu, and LD were associated with the glycerophospholipid metabolism. These regulators may impact hyperuricemia progression by altering metabolic patterns and facilitating different cellular functions. In hyperuricemia patients of Han and Uyghur nationalities, along with healthy individuals, significant differences in CPT1, TGF-1, Glu, and LD were demonstrated by ELISA (p < 0.05). Furthermore, the content of SEP1, IL-6, TGF-β1, Glu, and LD differed considerably between groups of the same ethnicity (p < 0.05). Conclusion Thirty-three differential lipid metabolites involved primarily in the glycerophospholipid metabolic pathway were significantly elevated in hyperuricemia patients compared to healthy individuals. We hypothesized that CPT1、TGF-β1、SEP1、IL-6、Glu, 、LD might influence metabolism and the immune microenvironment in hyperuricemia patients. CPT1, TGF-β1, SEP1, IL-6, Glu, and LD were speculated to increase fatty acid oxidation and mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation while decreasing glycolysis, affecting metabolism and the immune system microenvironment in hyperuricemia patients.

An investigation on the structural and optical properties of MSA capped CdTe quantum dots
Authors: Borah Dibya Jyoti , Saikia D. , Das A. , Saikia P. K. , Mostako A.T.T.
Published: February 2023

In this work, a modified sonication induced wet chemical approach is adopted to synthesize highly luminescent and water soluble Cadmium Telluride (CdTe) quantum dots (QDs). Cadmium Chloride and Sodium Tellurite are used as the source of Cadmium and Tellurium. To limit the size of the QDs, Mercaptosuccinic acid is used as a capping agent. The refluxing time dependence on morphology, size, crystal structural, and optical properties of CdTe QDs are investigated. The refluxing time-dependent optical constants viz. band gap energy and Urbach energy of the QDs are estimated from UV-Vis absorption spectra. The fluorescence spectra of the QDs are also investigated by recording the spectra under the excitation wavelength at 320 nm. CdTe QDs are found to uniform in size. The average size of the QDs estimated from the HRTEM image analysis is about 5.8 nm and 8.2 nm for refluxing times 1 and 4 hours, respectively. The growth mechanism of the QDs as a function of refluxing time has also been discussed. Two phases of the CdTe QDs, namely hexagonal and cubic are confirmed from the HRTEM images and SAED patterns analysis. The phase transformation from hexagonal to cubic is successfully achieved by tuning the refluxing time from 1 to 4 hours.
Finite-Time Consensus of Heterogeneous Unmanned Aerial Agents in Network with Fixed and Switching Topology
Authors: Pal Madhumita , Mukherjee Amartya
Published: February 2023

A finite time consensus protocol is presented in this paper for a network of connected heterogeneous agents with fixed and switching topology. In this study, two cases directed networks with fixed topology and directed networks with switching topology are examined. Convergence analysis for both the cases are presented. An independent tracking controller, which assures that an agent follows an ideal trajectory designed by sliding mode based consensus control, is devised. Agents stability are independent of the distributed consensus algorithm. Under the proposed control methodology, the measurement vectors of heterogeneous agents converge to the agreement value in a finite amount of time. The comparison results with the existing works show the proposed algorithm's improved performance in terms of convergence time in presence of disturbances.

Background: Combination immunotherapy have gradually become the mainstay of systematic therapy for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), however, prescribing immunotherapies perioperatively has the potential to reduce tumor activity, while increasing the resection rate and improving prognoses. This study investigated the efficacy and safety of preoperative combined immunotherapies for patients with initially unresectable HCC.
Methods:This retrospective, real-world study involved patients with initially unresectable HCC receiving combined immunotherapies based on PD-1/L1 blockade before surgery. Tumor treatment responses, pathological manifestations in postoperative specimens and overall survival (OS) were evaluated. Treatment related adverse events (AEs) were assessed according to the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI CTCAE, version 4.0).
Results: The study consecutively included 54 initially unresectable HCC patients and 34 patients were evaluated the safety, efficacy and possibility of subsequent radical surgery. Among these patients with surgical resection, 57.1% (n=8) receiving combination immunotherapy before surgery achieved a partial response (PR), which highlighted a 30% reduction in tumor size. Pathological evaluation of postoperative specimens confirmed that 21.4% (n=3) achieved complete responses. 78.6% (n=11) achieved partial responses. 28.6% (n=4) encountered grade 3 or 4 AEs out of 14 patients. The main AEs included fatigue (n=11; 78.6%), leukocytopenia (n=8; 57.1%,) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) elevation (n=6; 42.9%).
Conclusions: After the application of combination immunotherapy, patients should be comprehensively evaluated whether they meet the criteria for surgical resection. This surgical resection following by combination immunotherapy might effectively control tumor progression and could improve the prognosis at least for some patients with initially unresectable HCC.
Limitations of gravity models in predicting fine-scale spatial-temporal urban mobility networks
Authors: Hsu Chia-Wei , Fan Chao , Mostafavi Ali
Published: February 2023

This study identifies the limitations and underlying characteristics of urban mobility networks that influence the performance of the gravity model. The gravity model is a widely-used approach for estimating and predicting population flows in urban mobility networks. Prior studies have reported very good performance results for the gravity model as they tested it using origin-destination (O-D) data at certain levels of aggregation. Also, the main premise of the gravity model in urban networks is the existence of the scale-free property. The characteristics of urban mobility networks, such as scale-free properties, network size, the existence of hubs and giant components, however, might vary depending on the spatial and temporal resolutions of data based on which these networks are constructed. Hence, the sensitivity of gravity model performance to variation in the level of aggregation of data and the temporal and spatial scale of urban mobility networks needs to be examined. To address this gap, this study examined the basic gravity model, which captures the flow magnitude between O-D pairs based on three variables (population of the origin, population of the destination, and the distance between them). Accordingly, we constructed the urban mobility networks using fine-grained location-based human mobility data for multiple US metropolitan counties. The constructed urban mobility networks have finer resolution as they capture population flow among census tracts on an hourly and daily scale (as opposed to previous studies which used larger spatial blocks). The results show that the scale-free property does not always exist when urban mobility networks are constructed from data with finer spatial and temporal resolution. By examining the association between macroscopic network characteristics, such as the number of nodes and links, average degree, average clustering coefficient, assortativity coefficient, and predictive performance, we found weak association between performance and certain network structures. The findings suggest that: (1) finer-scale urban mobility networks do not demonstrate a scale-free property; (2) the performance of the basic gravity model decays for predicting population flow in the finer-scale urban mobility networks; (3) the variations in population density distribution and mobility network structure and properties across counties do not significantly influence the performance of gravity models. Hence, gravity models may not be suitable for modeling urban mobility networks with daily or hourly aggregation of census tract to census tract movements. The findings highlight the need for new-generation urban mobility network models or machine learning approaches to better predict fine-scale and high temporal-resolution urban mobility networks.

across spatial infinity. To this end we provide a precise map between
Bondi data at null infinity \mathscr{I}ℐ
and Beig—Schmidt data at spatial infinity i^0i0
in a context appropriate to the gravitational scattering problem and
celestial holography. In addition, we explicitly match the various
proposals of BMS charges at \mathscr{I}ℐ

The gist of this study was to analyze the supervision challenges that postgraduate students undergo through in course of doing their thesis or project work supervision in universities in Kenya. The purpose of this paper was to explore the challenges that make the process of postgraduate supervision a nightmare to students, consequently, affecting their enthusiasm to learn and successfully complete their studies as scheduled. The objectives of the study were to; ascertain the perceptions of postgraduate supervisee towards supervisory competences of their supervisors, assess the channels of communications between supervisee and supervisors, and establish the availability of supervisors to the supervisee. The paper used a cross section survey design to capture the views of respondents. The study used a sample size (n= 95) which was derived from a target population (N = 198) consisting of; all masters and doctoral students in the School of Education and School of Business & Economics of Kenyatta University and Mount Kenya University respectively. The study used questionnaires to collect data. The main findings of the study were that; supervisors were found to have established friendly interactions with supervisee but did not embrace ICT in supervision, they did not give prompt feedback to their supervisee; and they were hardly accessible to supervisee. The study concludes that; the process of supervision had main challenge of supervisee not receiving timely feedback from their supervisors who had embraced ICT in supervision. This study recommends frequent re-tooling for the supervisors so that they are able to embrace online supervision and hence assist their postgraduate students complete their studies on time. This study is significant as it may inform both the supervisors and supervisee on the best practices of undertaking the process of supervision for both parties to work harmoniously.

The Kendari City BPNs refusal to change the name and the judges considerations granted the determination of Nurmiatis mothers grant on the grounds that the Petitioner has controlled the land parcels of the grant object and has no objections to the possession of the land is very much contrary to the intent and purpose of granting the grant which is immediately applicable or legally transferring the grant object to the recipient of the grant if the terms of the grant are met. The Kendari Religious Court Judges decision sets a bad precedent for the legal certainty of a grant made by the grantor unless it is proven otherwise that the awarding of the grant does not fulfill the legal requirements of the agreement as stipulated in Article 1320 of the Civil Code. The purpose of this research is to analyze the legal standing of grants given based on hand-to-hand grants and to analyze the Kendari Religious Courts decision NO.0053 PDT-P/2013/PA KDI. Regarding this determination, private grants are based on the mastery of the grantee. The research method used is normative research, which is a process to find legal principles, legal principles, and legal doctrines to answer the legal problems faced. The results of the research are that giving private grants invalid, because the position and authority of the grant that has permanent legal force to make the grant deed is a notary appointed by the government as a general official with authority in accordance with the rules stipulated in government regulations. No. 24 of 1997 concerning Land Registration. Whereas proof of a grant letter under the hand where the grantor has died, in the process of transferring names cannot be carried out by the recipient of the grant at the time of the Land Office. So the deed under the hand must get a court order in advance so that it has legal force later when the name changes to the beneficiary.

The objective of this work is to compare the mechanical performance of concrete beams reinforced with convention reinforcement (iron) and concrete beams reinforced with oppositifolius mallotus wood with a view to building an innovative construction system for habitable or non-habitable floors of pavilions in rural areas. For this fact, nine (09) specimens of section 10x10x40cm3 were made at the rate of three (03) unreinforced concrete specimens three (03) reinforced concrete with Mallotus oppositifolius wood (vegetable reinforcement) without prior treatment and three (03) reinforced concrete specimens of conventional reinforcement (iron) which were subjected to the four-point bending test after twenty-eight (28) of age. At the end of the tests, it was found that the oppositifolius mallotus wood frame improves the four-point bending strength of the beams compared to unreinforced beams without achieving the mechanical performance of reinforced beams in conventional reinforcement. We also note a lower arrow compared to unreinforced beams. A visual analysis of the beams reinforced with mallotus oppositifolius wood (plant frame) after a total rupture shows us a need to treat the surface of the mallotus oppositifolius wood to make it rougher in order to increase its adhesion with the concrete. We thus retain the possibility of using mallotus oppositifolius wood as a vegetal frame in the construction of social housing in rural areas after its waterproofing and treatment.

Work performance is an essential aspect for both the employees and the organization. However, there were limited studies on the work performance and work engagement of employees in the City Government of General Santos. For this reason, this study attempted to determine the level of work performance of the employees and its effect on work engagement. Correlational methods of research were used. The study involved ninety-three (93) permanent employees. An adopted questionnaire was used. The findings revealed that the work performance of employees is high in terms of contextual performance, this means that they worked and kept their job skills up to date. It is also high in terms of task performance that employees kept in their mind the results that they had to achieve in their work while it is low in terms of counterproductive work behavior, that they complained about unimportant matters in work. Further, work engagement is high in terms of supervisors they consider theirsupervisors as approachable and easy to talk to. In terms of the team, they agreed that the people they work with treat them with respect. In terms of organization, they agreed that the vision and goals of the organization are important, and in terms of jobs, they see positive results because of their work. It was also revealed that most of the components in the work engagement have a significant influence on the sub-variables of work performance.
Assessment of the relationship between liquidity and unprofitability of companies in preventing their bankruptcy
Authors: Poliakov Rodion , Zayukov Ivan
Published: February 2023

In 2020, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, a moratorium was imposed on launching bankruptcy proceedings for enterprises in Ukraine. It was canceled in 2022 because of the war to encourage the company management to improve the efficiency of liquidity and solvency management, seeking ways to increase companies’ profitability and reduce the probability of bankruptcy. The study aims to determine the impact of liquidity on unprofitability, which can be considered an element in the management decision-making system to prevent bankruptcies of Ukrainian companies. The correlation-regression analysis was based on statistical data from Ukrainian companies for 2012–2019 and 2013–2020. The study found practically no connection between the unprofitability of Ukrainian companies and the decrease in the number of court cases in which a decision was made to recognize the bankruptcy of Ukrainian companies. On the other hand, there is a strong connection between Ukrainian companies’ liquidity and unprofitability. The constructed regression equation is statistically reliable and characterized by a high level of adequacy to real economic processes and phenomena. An increase in the general liquidity ratio by 1% leads to an increase in the unprofitability of Ukrainian companies by 0.0346%. According to the company size construct, the most substantial connection is recorded for medium-sized companies (the correlation coefficient is 0.927, the coefficient of determination is 0.860, and the built correlation-regression equation is characterized by statistical reliability and adequacy). In contrast, large, small, and micro enterprises have a weak and moderate connection.
EMMY: The continued expansion of clinical applications of SGLT2 inhibitors
Authors: Kotit Susy
Published: February 2023

Study and Results: The EMMY trial was conducted to assess the safety and efficacy of empagliflozin in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). A total of 476 patients with AMI were randomly assigned to empagliflozin (10 mg) or matching placebo once daily within 72 h of percutaneous coronary intervention. The primary outcome was the N-terminal pro-hormone of brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) change over 26 weeks. Secondary outcomes included changes in echocardiographic parameters. NT-proBNP reduction was significantly greater in the empagliflozin group (-15% after adjusting for baseline NT-proBNP, gender, and diabetes status (P=0.026)). Absolute left-ventricular ejection fraction improvement was 1.5% (P = 0.029) greater, mean E/e′ reduction was 6.8% (P = 0.015) greater, and left-ventricular end-systolic and end-diastolic volumes were lower by 7.5 mL (P = 0.0003) and 9.7 mL (P =0.0015), respectively, in the empagliflozin group, compared with placebo. Seven patients were hospitalized for HF (3 in the empagliflozin group). Other predefined serious adverse events were rare and did not differ significantly between groups.
Molecular autopsy in sudden cardiac death
Authors: Campuzano Oscar , Sarquella-Brugada Georgia
Published: February 2023

A post-mortem genetic analysis in the process of investigating a sudden death episode is known as ‘molecular autopsy’. It is usually performed in cases without a conclusive cause of death and after a comprehensive medico-legal autopsy. In these sudden unexplained death cases, an underlying inherited arrhythmogenic cardiac disease is the main suspected cause of death. The objective is to unravel a genetic diagnosis of the victim, but it also enables cascade genetic screening of the victim’s relatives. Early identification of a deleterious genetic alteration associated with an inherited arrhythmogenic disease may help to adopt preventive personalized measures to reduce risk of malignant arrhythmias and sudden death. It is important to remark that the first symptom of an inherited arrhythmogenic cardiac disease may the malignant arrhythmia and even sudden death. Next-generation sequencing allows a rapid and cost-effectives genetic analysis. Close interaction between the forensic scientist, pathologist, cardiologist, pediatric cardiologist and geneticist has allowed a progressive increase of genetic yield in recent years, identifying the pathogenic genetic alteration. However, large numbers of rare genetic alterations remain classified as having an ambiguous role, impeding a proper genetic interpretation and useful translation into both forensic and cardiological arena.
In-situ experiment research on environmental vibration transmission characteristics of air-rail combined airport

Published: February 2023

The rail transit and civil aviation are the important components of the comprehensive transportation system. The development of the air-rail combined transport is an important effective way for China to become a country with strong transportation network. The transportation intersection form of railway under-passing airport transportation hub gradually becomes popular, thus the environmental vibration due to the under-passing railway cannot be ignored. In this paper, a large-scale integrated transportation hub construction project was taken as an example to analyze the transmission rule of environmental vibration due to the high-speed railway at the speed of 350 km/h under-passing airport in terms of the time domain and frequency domain by means of the on-site in-situ wheel-drop test. The research results show that the vertical vibration response of the ground surface along the normal direction of the railway is greater than those of the other two directions within 40 m from the centerline of the track. A vibration amplification zone appears within 5-40 m. The longitudinal vibration response of the ground surface is greater than those of the other two directions within 40-70 m. The local vibration amplification zones appear within 5-20 m and 30-60 m. The lateral vibration level of the ground surface along the normal direction of the railway increase gradually, but attenuates at the distance of 40 m and 10 m with the maximum attenuation rate of 0.67. The vertical vibration level amplifies at the distance of 60 m. The longitudinal vibration level attenuates at the distance of 20 m with the maximum attenuation rate of 0.3, but amplifies at the distance of 40 m with the maximum amplification rate of 1.8.

Este libro analiza uno de los temas fascinantes de la historiografía de los últimos años, el de la dominación y confrontación imperial en el Caribe. Examina, desde diversas aristas y escenarios territoriales, la incidencia que tuvieron los “vientos del liberalismo”, que soplaron desde finales del siglo XVIII y principios del XIX, en los numerosos procesos de transformación económica, social, política y cultural que se experimentaron en diferentes territorios del Caribe. Así mismo, discute los procesos y circunstancias en que estos “vientos” fueron percibidos y adaptados a las realidades específicas de los territorios caribeños.La idea y el esfuerzo que guían muchos de los capítulos en esta publicación es desviar la atención de las interpretaciones que ven en el reformismo institucionalizado el motor principal de las revoluciones y transformaciones americanas y caribeñas. Se trata de colocar la mirada en el entramado de relaciones sociales, económicas y políticas que intensificaron los cambios que se daban en los territorios, por debajo y en paralelo a las luchas imperiales y a sus apuestas para acentuar su control sobre los territorios. En diversas ocasiones estos entramados de relaciones promovieron transformaciones anteriores a las de los imperios, aunque estos, en algunos casos, las instrumentalizaran a partir de sus intereses.
