Authors: Chen Po-Cheng , Chao Hsiao-Yun , Wu Chin-Chieh , Yeh Chun-Fu , Chen Shu-Hui , Chen Kuan-Fu
Published: November 2023

Background: In this hospital-based cohort study, we evaluated the
accuracy of rapid influenza diagnostic tests (RIDTs) and explored
factors affecting their results. Methods: Patients with influenza-like
illnesses (ILI) visiting the emergency departments of a tertiary medical
center were recruited from November 2012 to June 2015. RIDTs and
real-time reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction assay (RT-PCR)
were used to test all subjects for influenza. Results: Among the 263
patients with influenza-like illnesses, 36% tested positive by RT-PCR.
The sensitivity and specificity of RIDTs were 46.4% and 84.2%,
respectively, while physicians’ gestalt showed a sensitivity of 94.3%
and a specificity of 42.2%. RIDTs performed better for H3N2 than for
H1N1 but showed similar performance across specimens obtained from
different body sites. False-negative results from RIDTs were
significantly associated with productive cough and muscle soreness
compared to true negative results. Conclusions: Given the observed
significant association of false-negative RIDTs with symptoms such as
productive cough and muscle soreness, it is recommended to confirm
patients with these symptoms and negative RIDT results with RT-PCR.

Published: November 2023

Background: The respiratory diseases represent an important cause of
morbidity and mortality in the pediatric age group, considered a public
health problem and generate a great economic impact given the frequent
use of the health system. The current study aims to verify the
correlation of respiratory syncytial virus with the main risk factors
associated with recurrent wheezing in hospitalized infants. Methods:
Cross-sectional, descriptive and analytical study, carried out from May
2019 to May 2021, through the analysis of 681 electronic medical records
in a secondary public hospital. The study included 105 infants aged less
than 24 months, hospitalized for recurrent wheezing. The variables
analyzed were subdivided into two groups according to the presence of
the etiological agent: positive or negative for RSV. Results: Of the
sample studied, 75.2% were RSV negative, with a predominance of males
and an average age of 13 months. With respect to the risk factors
analyzed, there was a higher incidence of prematurity (19.2%), heart
disease (11.5%), family history of asthma (61.5%), and use of
prophylaxis (73%) among those positive for RSV. Among positive for RSV,
we observed greater use of mechanical ventilation (80%) and need for
readmissions (65.4%), and a positive correlation was observed between
the etiological agent and prematurity (p=0.009*), heart disease
(p=0.026*), readmission (p=0.009*), and the use of mechanical pulmonary
ventilation (p=0.007*). Conclusion: Faced with this prevalent public
health pathology, there is a need to improve clinical care, with
qualification and standardization of conduct by general pediatricians.
A non-grain production on cropland spatiotemporal change detection method based on Landsat time-series data

Published: November 2023

Global food security is being threatened by the reduction of
high-quality cropland, extreme weather events, and the uncertainty of
food supply chains. The globalization of agricultural trade has elevated
the diversification of non-grain production (NGP) on cultivated land to
a prominent strategy for poverty alleviation in numerous developing
nations. Its rapid expansion has engendered a multitude of deleterious
consequences on both food security and ecological stability. NGP in
China is becoming very common in the process of rapid urbanization,
threatening the national food security. To better understand the causal
mechanisms and enable governments to balance food security and rural
development, it is crucial to have a clear understanding of the
spatiotemporal dynamics of NGP using remote sensing. Yet knowledge gaps
remain concerning how to use remote sensing to track human-dominated or
-induced long-term cultivated land changes. Our study proposed a method
for detecting the spatiotemporal evolution of NGP based on Landsat time
series data under Google Earth Engine (GEE) platform. This approach was
proposed by (1) obtaining the union of cultivated lands from multiple
landcover products to minimize the cultivated land omission, (2)
constructing multi-index dynamic trend rules for 3 representative types
of NGP and obtaining results at the pixel level, while adopting the
continuous change detection and classification (CCDC) algorithm to
Landsat time series (1986~2022) to determine when the
most recent change occurred, (3) minimizing the noise by object-oriented
(OO) Land Use–Land Cover (LULC) classification and mode filter
approaches, (4) mapping the spatiotemporal distribution of NGP. The
proposed methodology was tested in Jiashan, located in Zhejiang province
(eastern China), where NGP is widespread. We achieved high overall
accuracy of 95.67% for NGP type detection and an overall accuracy of
85.26% for change detection of time. The results indicated a continued
increasing pattern of NGP in Jiashan from 1986-2022, with the cumulative
percentage of NGP increased from 0.02% to 20.69%. This study
highlights the utilization of time-series data to document essential NGP
information for evaluating food security in China and the method is
well-suited for large-scale mapping due to its automatic manner.

Published: November 2023

The global warming crisis, together with environmental concerns, has
already led governments to replace traditional fossil-fuel cars with
low-emission Electric Vehicles (EVs). This replacement has resulted in
the addition of a large number of EVs capable of connecting to the grid.
A coordinated charging method is needed to promote EVs on a large scale
while preventing grid overloading. In this work, EVs are categorized
based on their battery capacity, as cars, trucks, and buses. A
charging/discharging mechanism based on Real Time Pricing (RTP) for each
hour is developed for a 20-minute block has been formed. The locations
of EV charging stations have been identified using Voltage Stability
Index (VSI). In the present work, the power loss when Distributed
Generator (DG) units are deployed after the EVs are located in the
system for charging and discharging is analyzed. The DGs are considered
as solar based or wind based generators for studying the economic
benefit of such an investment under two different weather scenarios and
topologies on standard test systems. The results thus obtained give an
insight into the various technical and economic benefits.

The end-Triassic mass extinction was among the most severe biotic crises
of the Phanerozoic. It has been linked with the global expansion of
marine anoxia, and the prolongation of these conditions within epeiric
seas has been proposed as a cause for the suppression of biodiversity
during the Hettangian. Testing this interpretation is complicated by
spatially heterogenous patterns of local marine redox conditions within
the western Tethys European Epicontinental Shelf. In this study we
assess the redox state within this region by focusing on two carbonate
successions in Italy. Based on I/Ca ratios, these locations record
distinct local background redox conditions, with Val Adrara showing
notably lower pre-extinction oxygen saturation state compared to Mount
Sparagio. To better explain these differences, δ44Ca and trace element
analyses were used to identify the roles of mineralogical and diagenetic
effects on the preservation of primary redox signals. A framework of
multiple elemental (Sr, Mg, Mn, I) and isotopic (δ13C, δ18O, δ44Ca,
δ238U and δ34SCAS) ratios was developed to identify factors that could
influence carbonate geochemistry. Both sites probably retain some
primary variation in δ238U, δ34SCAS and I/Ca, but they are likely also
shaped by changing mineralogy and early diagenetic conditions which
complicates interpretations of the seawater composition. Where the redox
signals are largely preserved, we interpret differences in
pre-extinction I/Ca between the two sites to reflect distinct local
oxygenation states. Model simulations show that ocean circulation and
hydrological regime could have been important drivers of spatial
heterogeneity in paleo-redox conditions across the European
Epicontinental Shelf.
Quantitative Analysis of Electron Acceleration in Coalescing Magnetic Flux Ropes at Earth's Magnetopause
Authors: Ma Wenqing , Zhou Meng , Zhong Zhihong , Deng Xiaohua
Published: November 2023

Coalescence of magnetic flux ropes (MFRs) is suggested as a crucial
mechanism for electron acceleration in various astrophysical plasma
systems. However, how electrons are being accelerated via MFR
coalescence is not fully understood. In this paper, we quantitatively
analyze electron acceleration during the coalescence of three MFRs at
Earth’s magnetopause using in-situ Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS)
observations. We find that suprathermal electrons are enhanced in the
coalescing MFRs than those in the ambient magnetosheath and
non-coalescing MFRs. Both first-order Fermi and E||
acceleration were responsible for this electron acceleration, while the
overall effect of betatron mechanism decelerated the electrons. The most
intense Fermi acceleration was observed in the trailing part of the
middle MFR, while E|| acceleration occurred primarily
at the reconnection sites between the coalescing MFRs. For
non-coalescing MFRs, the dominant acceleration mechanism is the
E|| acceleration. Our results further consolidate the
important role of MFR coalescence in electron acceleration in space
plasma.
Absorption of solar radiation by noctilucent clouds in a changing climate
Authors: Luebken Franz-Josef , Baumgarten Gerd , Grygylashvyly Mykhaylo , Vellalassery Ashique
Published: November 2023

The future increase of methane concentration leads to a raise in water
vapor abundance in the middle atmosphere. This will enhance the
brightness of noctilucent clouds (NLC). We use an atmospheric background
model and a microphysical model to study the associated absorption of
solar radiation in the period 1950 to 2100. At 69°N mean absorptions at
λ=126nm will increase from ~3% to ~7%
from 1950 to 2100, respectively. Locally, the absorption can increase to
~30% in the year 2100. In the visible we find an
increase from 0.0030% (1950) to 0,020% (2100), i.e., by a factor of
~7, and local maxima up to 0.35% in 2100. The results
are similar for polar latitudes (79°N) but are smaller at middle
latitudes (58°N). Future mean absorptions are comparable to solar cycle
variations, but much larger locally. The ice mass bound in NLC increases
from 677 to 1871 tons in 1950 and 2100.
Origins of biweekly sea surface temperature variability in the eastern equatorial Pacific and Atlantic
Authors: Xu Gaopeng , Chang Ping , Zhang Qiuying
Published: November 2023

Biweekly sea surface temperature (SST) variability significantly
contributes to over 50% of the intraseasonal variability in the eastern
equatorial Pacific (EEP) and Atlantic (EEA). Our study investigates this
biweekly variability, employing a blend of in-situ and reanalysis
datasets. The research identifies biweekly signals in SST, meridional
wind, and ocean currents, notably in September-November in EEP and
June-August in EEA. Biweekly southerly (northerly) drives simultaneous
northward (southward) ocean currents in EEP, but with a 1-2-day phase
delay in EEA. Consequently, these currents lead to SST anomalies with a
3-4-day lag in both EEP and EEA due to the presence of the cold tongue.
The study reveals the origin of biweekly wind fluctuations in the
western Pacific for EEP and the subpolar Pacific for EEA, connected by
Rossby waves validated through a linearized non-divergent barotropic
model. This research affirms the influence of subtropical and subpolar
atmospheric forcing on equatorial SST.
Inter-basin versus intra-basin sea surface temperature forcing of the Western North Pacific subtropical high’s westward extensions
Authors: Jones Jhordanne , Chavas Daniel , Johnson Zachary Freitag
Published: November 2023

Zonal extensions of the Western Pacific subtropical high (WPSH) strongly
modulate extreme rainfall activity and tropical cyclone (TC) landfall
over the Western North Pacific (WNP) region. On seasonal timescales,
these zonal extensions are forced primarily by inter-basin zonal sea
surface temperature (SST) gradients. However, despite the presence of
large-scale zonal SST gradients, the WPSH’s response to SSTs varies from
year to year. In this study, we force the atmosphere-only NCAR Community
Earth System Model version 2 simulations with two real-world SST
patterns, both featuring the large-scale zonal SST gradient
characteristic of decaying El Niño/developing La Niña summers. For each
of these patterns, we perform four experimental sets that test the
relative contributions of the tropical Indian Ocean, Pacific, and
Atlantic basin SSTs to simulated westward extensions over the WNP during
June-August. Our results indicate that the subtle differences between
the two SST anomaly patterns belie two different mechanisms forcing the
WPSH’s westward extensions. In one SST pattern, the extratropical North
Pacific SST forcing suppresses the tropical Pacific zonal SST gradient
forcing, resulting in tropical Atlantic and Indian Ocean SST warming
being the main drivers of the Walker Circulation. With an adjacent SST
pattern, subsidence over the WNP is driven predominantly by intra-basin
Pacific SST forcing. The results of this study have implications for
understanding and predicting the impact of the WPSH’s zonal variability
on tropical cyclones and extreme rainfall over the WNP.
Resolving weather fronts increases the large-scale circulation response to Gulf Stream SST anomalies in variable-resolution CESM2 simulations
Authors: Wills Robert C. Jnglin , Herrington Adam R , Simpson Isla Ruth , Battisti David S.
Published: November 2023

Canonical understanding based on general circulation models (GCMs) is
that the atmospheric circulation response to midlatitude sea-surface
temperature (SST) anomalies is weak compared to the larger influence of
tropical SST anomalies. However, the horizontal resolution of modern
GCMs, ranging from roughly 300 km to 25 km, is too coarse to fully
resolve mesoscale atmospheric processes such as weather fronts. Here, we
investigate the large-scale atmospheric circulation response to
idealized Gulf Stream SST anomalies in Community Atmosphere Model (CAM6)
simulations with 14-km regional grid refinement over the North Atlantic,
and compare it to the response in simulations with 28-km regional
refinement and uniform 111-km resolution. The highest resolution
simulations show a large positive response of the wintertime North
Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) to positive SST anomalies in the Gulf Stream,
a 0.8-standard-deviation anomaly in the seasonal-mean NAO for 2°C SST
anomalies. The lower-resolution simulations show a weaker response with
a different spatial structure. The enhanced large-scale circulation
response results from an increase in resolved vertical motions with
resolution and an associated increase in the influence of SST anomalies
on transient-eddy heat and momentum fluxes in the free troposphere. In
response to positive SST anomalies, these processes lead to a stronger
North Atlantic jet that varies less in latitude, as is characteristic of
positive NAO anomalies. Our results suggest that the atmosphere responds
differently to midlatitude SST anomalies in higher-resolution models and
that regional refinement in key regions offers a potential pathway to
improve multi-year regional climate predictions based on midlatitude
SSTs.

into the subcapsular and perirenal spaces in the absence of trauma. The most
common causes of Wunderlich syndrome are various renal neoplasms, polycystic
and vascular kidney diseases. Wunderlich syndrome is common in patients who
use anticoagulant therapy or suffer from various types of congenital
coagulopathies. The clinical diagnosis is usually confirmed by computer
tomography of the abdomen and requires urgent surgical treatment or renal
artery embolization. Case Report. A 45-year-old woman was admitted to the
Emergency Center due to acute pain in the left abdomen, associated with
arterial hypotension. A computer tomography of the abdomen was performed
using intravenous contrast, which showed a ruptured tumor of the left kidney
with a massive retroperitoneal hematoma. The tumor was 7 cm in diameter and
according to the computer tomography data it corresponded to an
angiomyolipoma. The patient underwent emergency surgery. Intraoperative cell
salvage was used with additional blood replacement. Nephrectomy and drainage
of the massive retroperitoneal hematoma were performed. Pathohistological
analysis of the surgically removed kidney confirmed a renal angiomyolipoma.
Conclusion. Wunderlich syndrome caused by the rupture of angiomyolipoma is
still a life-threatening condition that should be considered in the
differential diagnosis of sudden abdominal pain, especially in women of
reproductive age. In hypotensive patients, available radiological methods
should be used to make an accurate diagnosis, before taking the patient to
the operating room.

Introduction. There are individual case reports and case-series in the
literature that have applied diffusion-weighted imaging/ fluid attenuated
inversion recovery mismatch and intravenous thrombolytic therapy in the
treatment of posterior circulation strokes. This case report demonstrates
the use of diffusion-weighted imaging/fluid attenuated inversion recovery
mismatch in the treatment of basilar artery occlusion with mechanical
thrombectomy. Case Report. A 68-year-old male patient presented with a
wake-up stroke and a National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score of 14.
Computed tomography angiography showed an occlusion of the basilar artery.
Diffusion-weighted imaging/fluid attenuated inversion recovery mismatch was
established and mechanical thrombectomy was performed. Complete reperfusion
was achieved. Mechanical thrombectomy was performed in the 16th hour from
the onset of symptoms. After the intervention, the patient?s National
Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score was 9. The patient was discharged
without any neurological symptoms and a score of 0 on the modified Rankin
Scale. Conclusion. Diffusion- weighted imaging/fluid attenuated inversion
recovery mismatch may be a useful criterion for the selection of patients
with basilar artery occlusion and unknown-onset strokes who are to be
treated with mechanical thrombectomy.

Diabetes affects the kidneys, and the presence of albuminuria reflects widespread vascular damage and is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD). Still, the pathophysiological association between albuminuria and CVD remains incompletely understood. Recent advances in noninvasive imaging enable functional assessment of coronary artery pathology and present an opportunity to explore the association between albuminuria and CVD. In this cross-sectional study, we evaluated the presence of subclinical coronary artery pathology in people with type 2 diabetes, free of overt CVD. Using multimodal imaging, we assessed the coronary microcalcification activity (18F-sodium fluoride positron emission tomography/computed tomography [PET/CT], plaque inflammation [64Cu-DOTATATE PET/CT], and myocardial flow reserve [82Rb PET/CT]). The study population consisted of 90 participants, stratified by albuminuria; 60 had historic or current albuminuria (urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio [UACR] ≥30 mg/g]), and 30 had normoalbuminuria (UACR <30 mg/g). We demonstrated that any albuminuria (historic or current) was associated with a more severe phenotype, in particular, higher levels of microcalcifications and impaired myocardial microvascular function; however, coronary inflammation activity was similar in people with and without albuminuria. Our findings establish a potential underlying mechanism connecting cardiovascular and kidney diseases and could indicate the initial stages of the cardiorenal syndrome.

Pedagogical aspect of meta-anthropological knowledge of canon law
Authors: Slyvka Stepan
Published: November 2023

Good and evil will never agree. A spiritual struggle is needed. The evil deeds of man testify to the absence of true, perfect knowledge. The factory of knowledge is a person who, with the help of existential and transcendental virtues and having a higher spiritual inoculation, a spiritual vaccine, knows, reveals in the universe the synergistic processual effect of ionization, that is, the transformation of potential good into ontological matters. At the same time, evil necessarily takes part in ionization, as a certain incentive to the opposite action. Ionization is caused by such an ionizer as the spiritual energy of a person, his organic cognition. This process is ontological and necessary for a person to master himself and win a place for himself in the transcendental world. The metastases of evil are so penetrating that a person cannot comprehend them from beginning to end. The natural ability of man to know the world is blocked by evil. If the earthly phenomena can be known in the main, then the supernatural ones - only a part, referring to irrationality, that is, the permissibility of existence, but the impossibility (absurdity) of revealing the essences. The philosophy of law, together with its introductions to the deontology of law and canon law, convincingly proves that it is necessary to learn about the world through the prism of law. In particular, the deontology of law appeared thanks to the ontology of law. The ontology of law derives from human organics about the laws of creation of the world. Every day of the creation of the world is justified by a specific system of laws: light, space and time, the plant world, the solar system, the nature of water-air space, the nature of terrestrial space. These are the fundamental laws of the development of the world, the laws of reality act on a person and in his body, thoughts and feelings. That is why man has a name - microcosm. Thoughts and other organic factors are the basis of the human spirit, which is the leader in relation to the body, the organism. The human spirit is influenced by various teachings, theories, and religions. This leads a person to confusion. The way out of the situation is found in canon law, which offers a single knowledge, a single theory, a single faith. Therefore, there is a need to pay attention to the knowledge of canon law.
Phenomenon of religious identity: philosophical and legal construction of the content
Authors: Chornopyska Victoriya
Published: November 2023

The article reveals the phenomenon of religious identity within the framework of the philosophical and legal discourse. The two most common approaches to understanding religious identity are defined: The first approach considers the definition of religious identity as a category of religious consciousness, the content of which is the understanding of the relationship with ideas and values, it actualizes the general religious self-characteristics of an individual, that is, an individual attitude to the sacred, which can be expressed in a personal the attitude of a person regarding the supernatural features of individual symbols. Therefore, this attitude can be actualized by the definition: "I am a believer"; the second approach considers religious identity as a form of belonging to a certain religion or a specific religious community, the individual's belonging to a religious organization is formed. Hence, religious identity defines a specific form of religiosity and is actualized as a confessional identity, which can be formulated in the definitions: "I am a Catholic Christian", "I am a Buddhist", "I am a Muslim", etc. It was found that religious identity is a socio-psychological construct that outlines the unity of a religious organization, which is achieved by the intersubjective orientation of community members to a common idealized set of symbols that actualize the essence of ontological, axiological and ethical regulations of a religious organization and are reproduced thanks to common sacred practices . Identity, as an attribute, is an individual's belonging to a certain social integrity - a religious community. From the standpoint of constructivism, religious identity is one of the social constructs that emerges in the process of subjective reflection and active construction of religious reality by an individual on the basis of social categorization. Hence, the cultural unity of religion as such (religious direction, confessional group, cult) is not its primary characteristic, but the result and meaning of existence.
Features of the interaction of subjects of the codification of labor legislation in Ukraine
Authors: Beck Ulyana
Published: November 2023

The article outlines the peculiarities of the development of the interaction between the subjects of the codification of national labor legislation. It is noted that the level of effective implementation of rights by employees and employers also determines the nature of the interaction between the subjects of the codification of labor legislation, which arises in connection with the process of implementation of the constitutional right to work by citizens. Therefore, in order to ensure equal opportunities for participation in the codification work of employees and employers, it is necessary to clearly define their basic rights in the Labor Code of Ukraine. In particular, the consolidation of the basic labor rights of employees and employers should take place in the aspect of expanding the application of international standards for the involvement of employees in making legally important decisions. The provision of equal rights for employees and employers and the focus of labor legislation on expanding the powers of employees and employers in the work process will allow optimizing labor relations as a whole. The following features of the interaction of subjects of the codification of labor legislation were determined: 1) involvement of public representatives, namely employees, employers and their associations in the process of adoption of the new Labor Code of Ukraine; 2) increasing the authority of codification in terms of expanding the labor rights of employees; 3) delegating the resolution of issues resolved at the centralized level to the local level; 4) coordinating the interaction of the subjects of the official codification of labor legislation in Ukraine and the Council of Europe, the European Commission as an institution of the European Union, which is entrusted with the functions of the executive body; 5) strengthening of collective agreement regulation within the framework of social dialogue, which affects the formation of new provisions of the draft Labor Code of Ukraine; 6) joint focus on harmonizing norms of the field of labor law and norms of labor legislation; 7) the need to create a single codification body in Ukraine – the Higher Codification Commission.
