Published: August 2024

The workload undertaken by General Election Supervisory Agency (Bawaslu) in overseeing the 2024 General Election includes proactive election supervision activities, being responsive to reports of alleged election violations, creating calendars and work tools for supervision, and strengthening the supervision of election supervisors for the integrity and professionalism of election organizers. Excessive workload results in work stress among Bawaslu officers, which impacts work performance. This study aims to analyze the factors of work stress and workload on the performance of employees within the General Election Supervisory Agency of East Java Province in the Tapal Kuda region. An observational analytic research design with a cross-sectional approach was conducted on 91 respondents. Multivariate analysis using multiple linear regression was employed to identify the factors of workload and work stress on the performance of Bawaslu employees in East Java Province. The results of the study showed that respondents experienced work stress and workload, which impacted the performance of Bawaslu employees (p<0.05). The observation of work stress and workload contributed 30.9%. This study provides information and recommendations to the General Election Supervisory Agency as a consideration in making policies related to stress, workload, and employee performance.
Effect of Pomegranate Extract Topical Cream (Punica granatum) on SOD and TNF-α Levels in Wistar Rats Excision Wound Model
Authors: Retta Adhimarta Atmaja  , Agung Putra  , Titiek Sumarawati
Published: August 2024

Wounds cause damage or loss of skin tissue components. The body will respond and trigger the wound healing process. Neutrophils will trigger the pro-inflammatory mediator, Tumor Necrosis Factor alpha (TNF-α) which is useful for starting inflammation. Providing exogenous antioxidants, such as those found in pomegranates, is very important. Pomegranate extract contains antioxidants such as flavonoids, alkaloids, tannins, triterpenes and saponins which have the potential to be a new treatment for inflammation caused by various skin disorders. Pomegranate extract significantly improves the wound healing process. However, an in-depth analysis of pomegranate extract cream which can accelerate the healing of excision wounds and influence SOD and TNF-α levels needs to be carried out, so that the results of this research can be a new alternative that supports topical wound treatment. An in-vivo experimental study was conducted with 48 Wistar rats, divided into 12 groups. The analysis was performed in two stages: six groups were analyzed after 3 days of treatment, and the remaining six groups were analyzed after 7 days of treatment. Data were tested using one-way ANOVA. Pomegranate extract cream reduced TNF-α levels, as shown by the One-Way ANOVA test (p=0.001, p<0.05). On day 3 after treatment, pomegranate extract cream had the same effect as the bioplacenton group. There was no significant difference between groups in SOD levels on day 3 after treatment, as indicated by the One-Way ANOVA test (p=0.565, p>0.05). However, on day 7 after treatment, there was a significant difference in SOD levels between groups, as shown by the One-Way ANOVA test (p=0.037, p<0.05). Pomegranate extract cream reduces TNF-α levels to the same extent as bioplacenton on day 3 after treatment and increases SOD levels in excision wounds on day 7 after treatment.

Remesas como sustento de las personas que ganan un salario mínimo en épocas de COVID-19
Authors: Andrade-Rosas Luis Antonio , Guadarrama-Muñoz Alma Cossette , López-Pérez Lourdes
Published: August 2024

El presente trabajo tiene como propósito mostrar, a partir de estadísticas oficiales, que el número de personas que ganaban un salario mínimo disminuyó del 2019 al 2020; se parte de la pregunta: ¿Qué ocurrió con los individuos cuyo salario tuvo esa característica? Los resultados muestran que la migración no fue la respuesta, al considerar que la pandemia produjo el cierre de fronteras. Se demuestra que el desempleo fue la causa de la disminución en este sector. El análisis muestra que las personas desempleadas con bajos salarios se mantuvieron gracias a las remesas, que aumentaron durante el 2020. Si bien el estudio evidencia la importancia que tienen las remesas, sobre todo para quienes reciben los ingresos más bajos del país, es prioritario definir políticas públicas que garanticen condiciones de vida digna; al tiempo, de materializar los derechos humanos y satisfacer las necesidades básicas.
La protección internacional de los perseguidos: el asilo político y la condición de refugiado en México
Authors: Díaz-Ramírez Erick Eduardo
Published: August 2024

Resumen
El objetivo de este artículo es comprender la importancia en la distinción terminológica, conceptual y procedimental del Asilo político y la Condición de refugiado en México. Aunque si bien, en la legislación mexicana existe una clara interpretación y definición de dichas figuras jurídicas, generalmente son dilucidadas de manera sinonímicas, resaltando al Asilo político como el protagonista en la protección internacional en México, hecho que invisibiliza a la Condición de refugiado. Por tal motivo, se realizó una búsqueda bibliográfica en el amplio estudio del dualismo asilo-refugio a nivel internacional, latinoamericano y mexicano, que permitiera esclarecer el objetivo del presente.

Adapting Copla: the interplay of languages in making The Copla Musical
Authors: Postigo Alejandro
Published: August 2024

The process of creating The Copla Musical involved the translation and integration of twentieth-century Spanish copla songs into a theatre narrative in English. The songs had been rarely translated before, let alone presented in a theatrical context outside Spain. The development of this show involved the collaboration of an international team who helped transform a culturally and historically charged artistic form by tapping into the intercultural potential and subversive nature of the material. The results of this work were then presented internationally in the form of a contemporary theatre production. This practice opened questions of how cultural translation may effectively function in a global Anglo-centric musical theatre industry. In this article, I will engage with translation debates and discuss how the selection and translation of songs impacted on performance and music languages also subject to cultural translation. The article aims to explore how new dynamics of collaboration and creativity conditioned the making of The Copla Musical, an intercultural project from conception to execution. Resumen El proceso de creación de The Copla Musical supuso la traducción e inserción de algunas canciones de copla española del siglo XX dentro de una narrativa teatral en inglés. La copla ha sido raramente traducida o presentada en un contexto teatral fuera de España, y el desarrollo de este espectáculo implicó la colaboración de un equipo internacional que ayudó a transformar esta forma de expresión artística de importante carga histórica y cultural. A raíz de este proyecto, se desveló el potencial subversivo e intercultural del material y los resultados han sido presentados internacionalmente como obra teatral contemporánea. Este proyecto ha cuestionado las políticas de traducción en una industria de teatro musical globalizada y marcada por el anglocentrismo. En este artículo, me adentraré en debates de traducción y exploraré cómo la selección y traducción de canciones ha impactado en los lenguajes performativo y musical de la obra, también susceptibles a una traducción cultural. El artículo explorará las nuevas dinámicas de colaboración y creatividad que han condicionado la creación de The Copla Musical, un proyecto intercultural desde su planteamiento hasta su ejecución.

Carlsbad Caverns National Park: Acoustic monitoring report, 2019
Authors: Olstad Tyra , Meyer Erik , Meyer Erik , Olstad Tyra
Published: August 2024

This study arose from Carlsbad Cavern National Park?s (CAVE) Technical Assistance Request (TAR; #9250), which identified the need for a baseline acoustic inventory to help understand the park?s existing wilderness character and evaluate potential acoustic impacts from military and civilian overflights. From late October to mid-December 2019, the Natural Sounds and Night Skies Division (NSNSD) gathered acoustic data at one site in CAVE to provide park managers with baseline information about the acoustic environment, including existing ambient sound levels and time-above noise level metrics in the park?s wilderness area. Overall, existing median ambient sound levels (LA50) at CAVE were remarkably quiet at 21.0 dB during the day and 20.1 dB at night. In the lower frequency range (20 ? 1,250 Hz), the sound level of 35 dB (LAeq, 1s), indicative of quiet environments was exceeded only 3.18% of the day and 0.81% of the night. All other key sound levels (i.e., 45 dB and above) were exceeded less than 0.25% of the time. Due to an error with the acoustic recording device, metrics requiring off-site listening could not be determined. As a supplement, a geospatial sound model is used to predict existing and natural ambient sound levels of 32.3 (dBA) and 29.8 (dBA), respectively, with localized impacts from anthropogenic noise.

Authors: - Dr. Tanuj Chamoli , - Gaurav Dwivedi , - Ankit Dwivedi
Published: August 2024

This research paper aims to develop a standardized approach for measuring the critical temperature (Tc) of superconductors using yttrium barium copper oxide (YBCO) as a model material. The study employed a Superconducting Quantum Interference Device (SQUID) magnetometer to conduct precise and repeatable measurements of Tc. Our findings indicate that the Tc of YBCO is approximately 90 K, which aligns with established values reported in the literature. This study addresses the significant gap in standardizing Tc measurement techniques across various superconducting materials, facilitating more accurate comparisons and a better understanding of superconducting properties. The implications of this research extend to both theoretical models and practical applications, supporting the development of new superconducting materials with optimized performance. Our standardized methodology promotes consistency in superconductivity research, aiding in the advancement of the field and potentially leading to significant technological innovations.

Patients with autoimmune disorders such as lupus and rheumatoid arthritis (RA) have significant life-changing effects on both their physical and mental health. Using patient testimonies collected from social media and internet forums, this paper does a thorough investigation. Using natural language processing methods, we analyze textual data to reveal patients' common attitudes, feelings, worries, and coping mechanisms. Our goal is to give a comprehensive understanding of the emotional aspects of having an autoimmune disease, which will help researchers, support groups, and medical professionals better meet the psychosocial requirements of their patients. We also examine scholarly works published between 2019 and 2024, which deepens our comprehension of the affective dimensions of these situations. Through close examination of text data, we are able to identify common attitudes, feelings, worries, and coping mechanisms among patients. Our research aims to provide useful information to researchers, healthcare providers, and support groups to improve the way psychological requirements in autoimmune disorders are managed. Finally, the challenges of sentiment analysis are examined in order to define future directions.

Coenzyme Q10 plays a critical role in cellular energy production and antioxidative processes within mitochondria. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of coenzyme Q10 supplementation on in vitro fertilization outcomes, focusing on antral follicle count, retrieved oocytes, quality of oocytes, fertilization rate, and implantation rate. The study included 270 women undergoing in vitro fertilization treatment, each receiving 200 mg of coenzyme Q10 daily for 60 days before and throughout the in vitro fertilization cycle. Other key nutritional supplements taken by participants included folic acid, vitamin D, omega-3, multivitamins, and probiotics. Coenzyme Q10 supplementation was positively correlated with several in vitro fertilization outcomes. The mean antral follicle count was 12.8, with a positive correlation of 0.35 with the use of coenzyme Q10. The mean number of retrieved oocytes was 9.7, showing a positive correlation of 0.30 with coenzyme Q10. The quality of oocytes had a weaker correlation of 0.20 with coenzyme Q10. Fertilization rate and implantation rate had positive correlations of 0.15 and 0.10, respectively. Additional supplements, such as folic acid and multivitamins, were used by a high percentage of participants, indicating the broader role of nutritional support in in vitro fertilization treatment. Coenzyme Q10 supplementation appears to positively impact several in vitro fertilization outcomes, suggesting its potential as a beneficial adjunct to standard in vitro fertilization protocols.
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and obesity: Biochemical, metabolic and clinical presentations
Authors: Milić Sandra
Published: August 2024

Laparoscopic surgery is the main treatment method for patients with gastrointestinal malignant tumors. Although laparoscopic surgery is minimally invasive, its tool stimulation and pneumoperitoneum pressure often cause strong stress reactions in patients. On the other hand, gastrointestinal surgery can cause stronger pain in patients, compared to other surgeries. Transversus abdominis plane block (TAPB) can effectively inhibit the transmission of nerve impulses caused by surgical stimulation, alleviate patient pain, and thus alleviate stress reactions. Remazolam is an acting, safe, and effective sedative, which has little effect on hemodynamics and is suitable for most patients. TAPB combined with remazolam can reduce the dosage of total anesthetic drugs, reduce adverse reactions, reduce stress reactions, and facilitate the rapid postoperative recovery of patients.
Dexamethasone and N-acetylcysteine before transarterial chemoembolization in hepatocellular carcinoma: A Western perspective
Authors: Biolato Marco , Pompili Maurizio
Published: August 2024

Post-embolization syndrome (PES) is the most common complication in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma treated with transarterial chemoembolization. Many strategies have been evaluated to reduce the incidence of PES, but no standard prevention guidelines currently exist. In a single-center, placebo-controlled trial, Simasingha et al evaluated the prophylactic administration of a combination of dexamethasone and N-acetylcysteine and documented a significant reduction in the incidence of PES (from 80% to 6%), of post-procedural liver decompensation (from 14% to 0%), and a shorter hospital stay (4 days vs 6 days), alongside an acceptable safety profile. The results of this study raise several controversial points regarding their applicability in the Western world. In the West, there is a greater and increasing prevalence of metabolic and alcoholic etiologies of liver cirrhosis, so a not negligible number of patients with type II diabetes or hypertension would be excluded from high-dosage dexamethasone prophylaxis. Furthermore, in the West, there is a preferred use of drug-eluting beads loaded with doxorubicin, which are associated with a lower incidence of PES. A study on prophylaxis with dexamethasone and/or N-acetylcysteine in a Western population is hopefully awaited.

Authors: Yang Shan , He Qing-Yun , Zhao Qing-Jing , Yang Han-Tao , Yang Zheng-Yi , Che Wen-Yi , Li Hua-Mei , Wu Hui-Chao
Published: August 2024

BACKGROUND

Small cell lung carcinoma (SCLC) is highly susceptible to metastasis in the early stages of the disease. However, the stomach is an uncommon site of metastasis in SCLC, and only a few cases of this type of metastasis have been reported. Therefore, SCLC gastric metastases have not been systematically characterized and are easily missed and misdiagnosed.

CASE SUMMARY

We report three cases of gastric metastasis from SCLC in this article. The first patient presented primarily with cough, hemoptysis, and epigastric fullness. The other two patients presented primarily with abdominal discomfort, epigastric distension, and pain. All patients underwent gastroscopy and imaging examinations. Meanwhile, the immunohistochemical results of the lesions in three patients were suggestive of small cell carcinoma. Finally, the three patients were diagnosed with gastric metastasis of SCLC through a comprehensive analysis. The three patients did not receive appropriate treatment and died within a short time.

CONCLUSION

Here, we focused on summarizing the characteristics of gastric metastasis of SCLC to enhance clinicians' understanding of this disease.

Authors: Hadiningsih Shanty , Eddyono Fauziah
Published: August 2024

Sustainable tourism is defined by the United Nations World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) as tourism that takes into account the current and future economic, social, and environmental impacts of the industry (tourism), the environment, and the local host communities. ( Mahanani & Hananik, 2021). The hope of this research is to provide a comprehensive insight into the influence of tourist villages on various aspects of the life of Batulayang people. The aim of this study is to see how Batulayang Tourism Village influences the development of community-based tourism (CBT), economic, socio-cultural, and environmental growth. The research uses the Partial Least Square (PLS) method, which uses the Outlet and the Inner to analyze the data. Community-Based Tourism (CBT) offers new business opportunities to communities by creating community-based tourism that focuses on social and cultural elements, managing them sustainably. Social and cultural activities contribute indirectly to the well-being of the community, because the community prefers to make money rather than participate. It still cannot be transformed into a significant improvement in the well-being of the villagers. The results of this study found that community-based tourism (CBT) improves the quality of people's lives when applied in the environmental, economic, and social fields; However, the goal of Community-Based Tourism development is to boost the local economy, but people remain dissatisfied because they prefer to meet personal needs rather than participate in social and cultural activities. As a result, the welfare of the Batulayang tourist village has not improved significantly.

Atherosclerosis is a condition where the arteries become narrowed and hardened due to the buildup of plaque, which is made up of cholesterol, fat and other substances. This narrowing restricts blood flow and can lead to severe complications such as heart attacks and strokes. The biofluid dynamics of blood is commonly studied numerically using various numerical methods, which can lead to the inaccuracies of results. Therefore, the analytical solution is important as it can provide a verification to the approximate solutions obtained by numerical methods. The present study interested to discover the realm of blood rheology in analytical field by investigating the blood flow under the influences of nanoparticles (drug-carriers), porosity (plaque) and magnetic field (external source of energy). The Navier Stokes equations incorporating the Casson fluid model govern the fluid flow subjected to suitable initial and boundary conditions. The conversion of dimensional governing equations into dimensionless is conducted using relevant dimensionless variables, which are then employed by the Laplace transform to attain the analytical solutions. The results report that the addition of carbon nanotube (CNTs) significantly enhances the heat transfer and velocity of the blood, which can be an advantage in the process of plaque fragmentation. Besides, this analytical study of blood flow provides valuable theoretical insights into the fundamental principles governing cardiovascular physiology, guiding the development of medical devices and treatments and informing clinical decision-making.

Irradiation method has received a tremendous attention in recent years especially as a consumer and health application. For consumer product, any compound that can be used as a cleaning agent is known as a detergent. Detergents are known with their natural radioactivity levels like other industrial products. While in the health application, generally people in many regions of the world still do not get enough iodine and iodine deficiency remains a public health issue. Around 30 % of the world's population is at danger of iodine deficiency. According to Oxford Advances Learning Dictionary, the word adsorb is defined as the accumulation of liquid or gas on surface of a substance. Meanwhile, thyroid is gland in the neck that produces hormone which regulate and control the body growth and function. Thus, from this review, the topic is basically about the effects when iodine is adsorbed in the thyroid gland that could cause thyroid disease. Review on the irradiated detergent is also presented.

We discussed a 54 years old Malay gentleman who presented to the emergency department with severe difficulty in breathing and wheezing. The patient almost collapsed and an emergency intubation was done followed by a CT scan of the neck and thorax later. CT scan showed an ill-defined heterogenously enhancing intramural lesion measuring 2.7 x 2.4 x 3.3 cm arising from the posterior tracheal wall and projecting into the tracheal lumen. A rigid bronchoscopy showed a polypoidal tumour mass at the lower one third of the trachea occluding the lumen. Partial resection of tumour and tracheal stenting were performed to relieve the obstruction. Histopathological examination of the resected sample showed a cellular tumour with cribriform pattern. The tumour composed of epithelial and myoepithelial cells. The cells displayed uniform basaloid to ovoid nuclei and scanty cytoplasm. Some of the epithelial cells showed mildly pleomorphic nuclei with prominent nucleoli. The cribriform pattern composed of predominantly myoepithelial cells with myxoid background or hyalinized globules. Mitotic figures were rarely seen. The stroma was hyalinized. A diagnosis of adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) was made.
An Efficient Semi-Analytical Method by using Adaptive Approach in Solving Nonlinear Schrödinger Equations

Published: August 2024

This paper introduces a novel method called the Adaptive Hybrid Reduced Differential Transform Method (AHRDTM) to solve Nonlinear Schrödinger Equations (NLSEs). This method provides semi-analytical solutions over a longer time frame. It achieves this by producing sub-division intervals of varying lengths, distinguishing it from the classical Multistep Reduced Differential Transform Method (MsRDTM). Importantly, the AHRDTM eliminates the necessity for perturbation, linearization, or discretization, providing the benefits of adaptability and reliability. The outcomes exhibit that AHRDTM yields highly efficient solutions for NLSEs. Moreover, the method is simple, significantly reducing the computational workload in solving NLSE problems, and shows promising opportunity for application in diverse complex partial differential equations (PDEs). The efficiency and effectiveness of AHRDTM are demonstrated through tables and graphical representations.
