El retorno de lo que jamás se fue
Authors: Castillo Mattasoglio Carlos
Published: April 2023

El presente ensayo pretende ofrecer algunas líneas que ayuden a explicar la particularidad del actual retorno de lo religioso en América Latina, desde mi particular experiencia como creyente y como sacerdote que observa nuestra realidad religiosa. Es sabido que América Latina tiene varios bloques culturales distintos, amplios y muy 'complejos, que esconden experiencias y vivencias religiosas muy diversificadas. Uno de estos bloques corresponde a los países andinos; otro, a las culturas más europeizadas (Argentina y Chile); y otro, a Brasil, con la presencia de lo indígena y lo africano. En el presente trabajo, me limitaré a reflexionar sobre el área andina y, particularmente, sobre su zona urbana.

Iglesia y orden social : constantes para la interpretación del impacto eclesiástico en el Perú
Authors: Martínez i Àlvarez Patrícia Victòria
Published: April 2023

En el Perú actual, la trascendencia de la opinión de la Iglesia en los acontecimientos públicos y privados no es gratuita. Cuando el episcopado es llamado a intervenir como mediador en situaciones de conflicto político, el Perú evoca tiempo muy significativos de su historia. Cuando se acude los domingos a escuchar «la palabra de Dios» en la homilía de los sacerdotes, se remite al presente una histórica amalgama de factores sociales, políticos, raciales y morales que han determinado la morfología del Perú del siglo XXI. Cuando la Iglesia, con legítima autoridad moral, condena o aprueba públicamente estilos de vida, opciones, corrientes de pensamiento o acontecimientos de la vida del país, lo hace precisamel}te por la fuerza histórica que ha ido construyendo en nuestro contexto. Este artículo pretende poner de relieve algunas de las características de esa fuerza histórica que, a lo largo de los siglos, la Iglesia ha ido afianzando en el Perú.
La escritura como desenterramiento. En torno a El zorro de arriba y el zorro de abajo de José María Arguedas
Authors: Chirinos Arrieta Eduardo
Published: April 2023

A lo largo de su novela póstuma El zorro de arriba y el zorro de abajo1 José María Arguedas insiste en presentar su relato como una lucha frontal contra la muerte. Esta insistencia, corroborada por el carácter tremendamente «lisiado y desigual» que se patentiza desde las primeras páginas, está presente en cada una de las instancias discursivas que se entretejen en la novela: los diarios personales (más las cartas y el epílogo), la materia narrada que tiene como escenario el puerto pesquero de Chimbote, y los diálogos de zorros.
Secreta unidad, epifanía y silencio. La ebriedad y el don en dos poemas de Claudio Rodríguez
Authors: Chirinos Arrieta Eduardo
Published: April 2023

Los treinta y ocho años que median entre la publicación de Don de la ebriedad (1953) y Casi una leyenda (1991) del poeta zamorano Claudia Rodríguez son más que suficientes para establecer, habida cuenta de la «secreta unidad» que subyace a una obra en su conjunto, sus complejos y sorprendentes vasos comunicantes. La revisión de los poemas que tiempo atrás escribiera el adolescente exaltado puede conducir al lector (y al autor en tanto lector) a un extrañamiento o, para emplear las palabras de Rodríguez, a «una carencia de familiaridad hacia ellos» (1981, 13). Pero aún si aceptamos los naturales cambios y modificaciones que se producen en la poética de un autor, es notable comprobar que en muchos casos la obra última es el resultado del ahondamiento y la profundización de sus preocupaciones iniciales. En el caso particular de la obra de Claudia Rodríguez el diálogo que establece el poema I de Don de la ebriedad (libro escrito entre los diecisiete y veinte años) con el poema «Un brindis por el seis de enero» (publicado cuando el poeta tenía cincuenta y ocho) resulta revelador para establecer las condiciones en que se ahonda y modifica su poética.

LIBS (Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy) – метод лазерно-искровой эмиссионной спектрометрии, позволяющий достоверно определять химический состав различных субстратов. Метод имеет как преимущества, так и недостатки по сравнению с широко используемыми в настоящее время в диагностике методами. Основным достоинством метода является отсутствие необходимости разложения образца перед проведением анализа. Однако LIBS имеет низкую точность и предел обнаружения. Результаты, полученные с помощью LIBS, согласуются с результатами, полученными методами атомно-эмиссионной спектрометрией с индуктивно связанной плазмой и масс-спектрометрией с индуктивно-связанной плазмой (ИСП-АЭС, ИСП-МС) по макроэлементам, а также по токсичным элементам. Цель обзора – формирование общего представления об использовании LIBS в медицине при анализе различных биологических субстратов. На сегодняшний день опубликован ряд работ, в которых с помощью LIBS изучалось содержание элементов в твёрдых биосубстратах (ногти, волосы), жидких (цельная кровь, сыворотка, моча), а также в опухолевых тканях. Результаты исследований демонстрируют перспективность использования LIBS при диагностике различных заболеваний и при проведении скрининга. Необходима дальнейшая адаптация данного метода для исследования биообразцов, совершенствование алгоритмов калибровки и обработки полученных результатов.

Использование биологически-активных веществ пищи в специализированных пищевых продуктах представляет интерес в диетотерапии профессиональных заболеваний, обусловленных интоксикацией тяжелыми металлами. Дигидрокверцетин (3,5,7,3′,4′-пентагидрокси-флаванон, таксифолин, ДГК) обладает мощным антиоксидантным и антитоксическим действием. Цель работы – изучение влияния ДГК на уровни микроэлементов в органах крыс в условиях интоксикации наночастицами никеля (Ni НЧ). Материалы и методы. Крысы Wistar получали в течение 92 суток с потребляемым рационом Ni НЧ со средними диаметрами 53,7±2,9 нм (Ni НЧ1) и 70,9±3,3 нм (Ni НЧ2) в дозе 10 мг/кг массы тела (м.т.) Ni и водорастворимую стабилизированную форму ДГК «Таксифолин-аква» с питьевой водой в дозе 23 мг/кг м.т. В печени, почках, гонадах и головном мозге методом ICP-MS определяли содержание Ni, а также 26 химических элементов, включая эссенциальные (Ca, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mg, Mn, Se, Zn), токсичные (Al, As, Be, Ba, Cd, Pb, Sr, Tl) и с невыясненной функцией (Ag, B, Ce, Cs, Ga, Gd, La, Rb, V). Результаты. Потребление ДГК приводило к снижению накопления Ni в печени крыс, получавших Ni НЧ 1. В головном мозге отмечалось снижение до фоновых значений накопления Ni у крыс, получавших Ni НЧ2 вместе с ДГК. Из числа элементов, уровни которых превосходили предел количественного определения, в печени ДГК приводил к достоверному снижению Al, As, B, Ba, Sr, V и повышению Pb у крыс, затравленных Ni НЧ1, к снижению Ba, Sr и V при введении Ni НЧ2. В почках ДГК вызывал снижение As, B, Pb и V при возрастании Ba при затравке Ni НЧ1, снижение B и V при затравке Ni НЧ2. В головном мозге ДГК приводил к снижению бионакопления B и Co и возрастанию – Pb при потреблении Ni НЧ1, снижению Al, B, Ba и Co при затравке Ni НЧ2. Выводы. Дигидрокверцетин оказал разнонаправленные влияния на микроэлементный гомеостаз крыс, получавших Ni НЧ, включая такие положительные эффекты, как нормализация уровня Ni в головном мозге и снижение бионакопления отдельных токсичных элементов – Al, As, Ba и V.

Published: April 2023

Diabetes mellitus (both type 1 and type 2) is considered one of the risk factors for severe COVID-19 and death from this infection. Past infection with COVID-19 leads to deterioration in the control of existing diabetes mellitus, progression of pre-diabetes to diabetes, an increase in the number of new cases of diabetes and an increase in the proportion of glucocorticoid-induced diabetes, which significantly aggravates the course of post-COVID syndrome for this category of patients. Antihyperglycemic drugs may influence the pathogenesis of COVID-19, which may be of relevance for the treatment of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and post-COVID syndrome. The review also presents our own data on the effect of various regimens of oral hypoglycemic agents on post-COVID syndrome in people with type 2 diabetes mellitus. The observation showed that the use of dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors as part of a treatment strategy in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus with a past COVID-19 infection was associated with a decrease in the duration and severity of post-COVID symptoms.

The report presents a model of binary linear programming, designed to find the optimal division of the territory states into administrative-territorial units (ATE), limited by certain balancing criteria. Requirement connectivity of the territory of each ATE is the main computational bottleneck and therefore does not allow efficient use similar models for states with a vast territory and many settlements. The model is very well developed. scales and finds the division of the territory of the state into connected administrative-territorial units, using heuristics, based on the search for the shortest paths between the center of each ATE and all settlements located in this ATE. This model was successfully applied to obtain optimal scenarios administrative-territorial division of the Republic of Moldova, that fully comply with the requirements of the law and provide a reasonable compromise between all balancing criteria.

Published: April 2023

In this paper, we consider the issues of determining the isomorphism separable graphs. It is shown that for a graph of any kind it is possible apply the methods of diacoptics, that is, divide the set of vertices of the graph into two subsets. The first subset of vertices characterizes non-separable part of the graph and is a non-separable graph. The second subset characterizes the additional part of the graph and consists from certain parts of the graph. The first stage of checking isomorphism consists in checking the isomorphism of non-separable parts of graphs. Then additional parts of the graphs are checked for compliance. If the inseparable part and the complementary parts are isomorphic, then are isomorphic and separable graphs.

A Method for Ranging and Positioning Casing with High-Intensity Magnets: Simulations and Experimental Studies
Authors: Hu Zhongzhi , Fu Shaojie
Published: April 2023

Wellbores in the upper vertical section of cluster wells are typically positioned close together, resulting in a high possibility of wellbore collision accidents. In the drilling process, accurately determining the distance and bearing of the casings of adjacent production wells is key to controlling the wellbore trajectory to avoid collision accidents. In this study, a method is proposed that uses a high-intensity magnet to magnetize a close-range casing and subsequently measures the axial forces on the magnet to determine the casing distance and positioning. Based on the theoretical analysis of the magnet’s force, the boundary finite element method is used to numerically analyze the influence of the casing position on the magnet. The force on the magnet decreases exponentially with the increase in casing distance and decreases nonlinearly and rapidly as the angle increases. A method to determine the position of a casing by analyzing the forces on two adjacent magnets is proposed. Based on the fitting of the simulation results, a mathematical model that calculates the casing distance and azimuth is established. A simple experimental device was designed to verify the reliability of the numerical simulations and casing ranging and positioning of the models. The maximal calculation error of the casing distance is determined at 5 mm, and the angle error is less than 2°. Moreover, the actual measured distance is less than 1 m. The angle between the axes of the high-intensity magnets has an important influence on the distance measurement range. The following steps are suggested to improve the detection range of the casing: Improve the remanence of the high-intensity magnet; extend the length of the force arm of the force measuring mechanism; apply a high-resolution torque sensor; and set a smaller angle between the axes of the high-intensity magnets. The proposed method can achieve high-efficiency measurements and calculations of the casing distance and bearing based on a simple measurement structure and low-cost manufacturing. It also has the potential to be applied to multiple short-range casing ranging and positioning scenarios.
Unsupervised Adversarial Domain Adaptation Regression for Rate of Penetration Prediction
Authors: Jiang Jun , Guo Zhenzhen
Published: April 2023

The rate of penetration (ROP) refers to the speed at which a drill bit breaks through rock and deepens the drill hole. ROP is of great significance for drilling optimization and drilling cost savings. In real-world settings, the ROP data available for learning and training in a new oil field are scarce or even completely missing. In this paper, we propose a novel unsupervised multisource domain adaptation (MSDA) regression method for ROP that considers transferring the knowledge learned from a well-labelled source domain to the target domain with few labeled ROP data. First, we build a multisource unsupervised domain adaptation framework based on adversarial learning (WD-MUDA) which uses a weighted combination of multiple source domains to realize the fine-grained alignment of different data distributions. Specifically, we define a new similarity metric for different domains based on the Wasserstein distance. Furthermore, considering the uneven distribution of real drilling data samples, a novel regression loss is introduced to minimize the gradient discrepancy between multisource and target samples and improve the prediction accuracy of target samples. Extensive experiments on real drilling data sets reveal that the proposed method is effective and outperforms the state-of-the-art domain adaptation methods for ROP prediction.
Publication Patterns and Perceptions of Open Science in Indian Scholarly Community: Insights from a Survey
Authors: Das Susmita , Gutam Sridhar
Published: April 2023

In April and May of 2020, a survey was carried out to gather opinions and experiences related to open science publications and preprints. The majority of respondents were from India and specialized in agricultural science. The survey revealed that the "Journal's Impact Factor" was the most significant factor when selecting a suitable journal for publication. Most respondents who had published articles in Open Access had paid Article Processing Charges (APCs) for their publications, and the funding for such charges came from various sources, such as project funds, institutional support, and personal funds. While respondents expressed confidence in preprints and preferred institutional repositories as their preprint platform, the main drivers for sharing preprints were increased indexing, citation, and visibility, and the inclusion of preprints in assessments. Despite this, most respondents stated that they had never cited preprints, nor had their preprints been cited. This highlights the need for increased advocacy for Open Science and Preprints in India.

Seagrass meadows are an important component of coastal ecosystems globally, and they capture and store organic carbon in living biomass and sediments. Geographical estimates of blue carbon in seagrass habitats are regionally biased, with limited information from the Indo-Pacific region, including Indonesia. Seagrass extent in Indonesia is declining rapidly, and it has been suggested that Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) are an important instrument to support protection of seagrass ecosystems and its services. Thus, our study aimed to quantify and to compare sedimentary carbon stocks and sources of organic carbon in seagrass meadows located in undisturbed areas outside MPA, disturbed areas outside MPA, and within MPA in three small islands in Indonesia. The sediment carbon stocks ranged from 19.81 to 117.49 Mg C ha− 1, with the highest stock measured inside MPA (77.15 ± 1.38 Mg C ha− 1), followed by undisturbed outside MPA (36.08 Mg C ha− 1), and lowest stock at disturbed outside MPA (21.86 ± 0.31 Mg C ha− 1). The predominant source of organic carbon in disturbed meadows was from coastal POM (~ 36%), while in MPA and undisturbed site the main source was seagrass, with ~ 38% and ~ 60%, respectively. The results of this study highlight the influence of MPAs on conserving carbon stock in seagrass ecosystems and provide important information on the importance of MPA’s in avoiding emissions caused by remineralisation of sediment organic carbon following seagrass degradation.

Published: April 2023

The direct disposal of waste milk (WM) leads to severe environmental pollution and resource loss. Considering the high content of nutrients, WM has a potential as an ideal raw material for organic fertilizer. In this work, base-activated persulfate (KOH/PS) was used as a new artificial humification technology to transform WM into product with 45.3% of fulvic-like acid (FLA) and 18.9% of humic-like acid (HLA) in 1 hour. Therein, FLA had more active groups (-COOH, -CNOH, -OH) than natural fulvic acid likely owing to hydroxylation, carboxylation and the Millard reaction. Reactive species of •OH and SO4−• generated in KOH/PS system may be related to degradation or polymerization reactions during humification. The product was mixed with attapulgite to fabricate a slow-release nano FLA fertilizer which could increase the yield of chickweeds by 107% compared with the blank as well as the abundance of beneficial bacteria in soil. Overall, this study provided a rapid method for the recycling of waste food and highly-concentrated organic wastewater, which may have a huge application prospect in sustainable agriculture.
Research on language simulation and speech recognition based on data simulation of Machine Learning System
Authors: Qian YANG , Honggai SHI
Published: April 2023

In recent years, human-computer interaction project has become a mainstream research topic in the field of artificial intelligence. Among them, the most important interaction mode is voice interaction mode, which is based on voice recognition technology and is also the main factor to promote the development of artificial intelligence technology itself. In addition, speech recognition and modeling in noisy background have also been fully developed. In the actual communication environment, in addition to the voice information of the communicator, there are also noisy background sounds, which will reduce the accuracy of speech recognition. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct modeling research on this problem to improve the recognition ability of the speech recognition model. In this context, this paper combines machine learning technology and artificial intelligence technology to conduct in-depth research to improve the performance of speech recognition model, achieve the balance between efficiency and performance, and run stably and easily. The system is mainly divided into user registration, data flow input and processing, identification model and output results and other modules. The experimental data show that the response time of the system is proportional to the number of test samples. Therefore, as long as resources are allocated reasonably, stable system response time can be obtained, and system performance and scalability can fully meet the requirements of language simulation tasks. In this paper, the optimization of language simulation system is completed through the comprehensive study of machine learning and artificial intelligence technology.
An Integrative Review of Research Evaluating Organisational Culture in Residential Aged Care Facilities
Authors: Churruca Kate , Falkland Emma , Saba Maree , Ellis Louise A , Braithwaite Jeffrey
Published: April 2023

Background
Evidence suggests that the culture of healthcare organisations, including residential aged care facilities (RACFs), is linked to the quality of care offered. The number of people living in RACFs has increased globally, and in turn, attention has been placed on the quality of care provided. This review aimed to identify how organisational culture is studied, sought to elucidate the results of previous studies, and aimed to establish what interventions are being used to improve organisational culture in RACFs.
Methods
We employed an integrative review design to provide a comprehensive understanding of organisational culture. Five academic data bases were searched (Ovid Medline, Scopus, PsycInfo, CINAHL, Embase). Articles were included if they were empirical studies, published in peer reviewed journals in English, conducted in a RACF setting, and were focused on organisational culture/climate.
Results
Ninety-two articles were included. Fifty-nine studies (64.1%) utilised a quantitative approach, while 24 (26.0%) were qualitative, and nine used mixed methods (9.8%). Twenty-two (23.9%) aimed to describe the culture within RACFs, while 65 (70.7%) attempted to understand the relationship between culture and other variables, demonstrating mixed and indeterminate associations. Only five (5.4%) evaluated an intervention.
Conclusions
This review highlights the heterogenous nature of this research area, whereby differences in how culture is demarcated, conceptualised, and operationalised, has likely contributed towards mixed findings. Future research which is underpinned by a sound theoretical basis is needed to increase the availability of empirical evidence on which culture change interventions can be based.

Published: April 2023

The sulfidation of Cu derived from Cu-Zn alloy (brass) in S-containing rubber, which is used for plating steel-cord-reinforced rubber tires, is suggested to be the key reaction for adhesive behavior between brass and rubber in tires. However, the heterogeneous structures of rubber/brass interfaces have prevented us from understanding the sulfidation of metallic Cu in brass and the formation of Cu sulfides at the brass surface and buried rubber interface. We report visualizing the three-dimensional spatial location and chemical states of Cu species in a rubber/brass composite by three-dimensional (3D) X-ray spectroimaging with X-ray absorption fine structure-computed tomography during the aging process of the rubber/brass composite for the first time. Machine-learning derived reaction statistics for the 3D spectroimaging data revealed the reaction mechanism of the Cu sulfidation in the heterogeneous rubber/brass composite.

Published: April 2023

Background
Acute type A aortic dissection (AAAD) is a devastating condition with the human aortic smooth muscle cells (HASMCs) reduced proliferation and increased apoptosis. Integrin α5β1 and FAK are the important proangiogenic factors involved in regulating angiogenesis. The aim of the study was to investigate the role of integrin α5β1 and FAK in AAAD patients and the potential mechanisms.
Methods
The aortic tissue samples were collected from 8 AAAD patients and 4 organ donors obtained from Zhongshan Hospital of Fudan University. The level of apoptosis in the aortic tissues were assessed by immunohistochemical staining (ICH) and Terminal-deoxynucleoitidyl transferase mediated nick end labeling assay (TUNEL). The expression of integrin α5β1 and FAK were detected. Furtherly, integrin α5β1 was dificiently expressed in HASMCs and the interaction with FAK was detected by co-immunoprecipitation analysis (Co-IP). The levels of proliferation and apoptosis were assessed by cell-counting Kit-8 analyses (CCK-8) and flow cytometry after integrin α5β1 dificiently.
Results
The levels of integrin α5β1 and FAK were both significantly decreased in AAAD patients. Down-regulating the expression of integrin α5β1-FAK compound could remarkablely induce the increased apoptosis and decreased proliferation in HASMC, which indicated integrin α5β1-FAK might play a important role in the development of AAAD.
Conclusions
The down-regulaiton of integrin α5β1-FAK associates with increased apoptosis and decreased proliferation in aortic smooth muscle cells, and might be a potential therapeutic target for AAAD.
A scoping review of the self-reported compassion measurement tools
Authors: Jiang Hu , Wang Wenna , Mei Yongxia , Zhao Zhixin , Lin Beilei , Zhang Zhenxiang
Published: April 2023

Background: Compassion is closely linked to psychological well-being, and several assessment tools have been developed and studied to assess the level of compassion in different populations and for more precise measurement. There is currently a scarcity of comprehensive knowledge about compassion-related assessment tools, and our research provides an overview of these tools.
Aims: To collect exhaustively the tools used to assess compassion in order to serve as a resource for selecting tools for use in practice.
Methods: Focusing on compassion assessment tools, the authors conducted a thorough search of 10 Chinese and English databases from their establishment until August 14, 2022. The extracted data comprised the author, the year, the nation, the target population, and the primary evaluation contents. Using the COSMIN checklist, the methodological quality and measurement properties of the included studies were appraised. This scoping review was registered with the Open Science Framework and followed the PRISMA-ScR (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses Extension for Scoping Reviews) checklist.
Results:There were 15965 papers searched, and 36 compassion-related measurement tools were considered in this study. None of the 36 studies provided possessed all nine psychometric properties, as outlined by the COSMIN criteria. On the basis of a systematic evaluation of quality, measurement qualities were ranked. The results for internal consistency and content validity were relatively favorable, whereas the results for structural validity were variable and the results for the remaining attributes were either uncertain or negative. A Venn diagram was used to illustrate the overlapping groups of compassion measurement tools based on the three-way flow of compassion. An overview of the reference instrument and theoretical basis for the included studies was provided, and half of them did not contain any theoretical or scale-based evidence.
Conclusion: In this study, 36 compassion-related measuring instruments were identified, and the methodological quality and measurement properties of the included studies were acceptable. The included measurements in this study were found to be consistent with three-way compassion flows. Compassion measurement tools and compassion-related theories should be the focus of future research.

Background: Prophylactic irradiation of supraclavicular lymph node drainage areas can improve the regional control rate of lymph node-positive breast cancer and reduce breast cancer-related mortality. However, many inconsistencies exist in the clinical target volume delineation of supraclavicular lymph node drainage in patients with breast cancer.
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 42 breast cancer patients with supraclavicular lymph node metastasis at our hospital between January 2017 and December 2021. Among these cases, 32 were locally advanced and 10 were stage IV at initial treatment. A patient with breast cancer who did not undergo dissection of the upper and lower clavicle lymph nodes at our hospital was selected as a standard patient. A contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) scan for positioning was used as a template image, and blood vessels, muscles, and bony landmarks were used as references for positioning. The metastatic supraclavicular lymph nodes were identified in all enrolled patients and projected into the template CT images.
Results: The metastatic pattern of supraclavicular lymph node in breast cancer was proposed: distribution along the posterolateral border of the internal jugular vein (medial supraclavicular group) and the transverse jugular vein (lateral supraclavicular group). We theorized that the lateral and posterior borders of the clinical target volume in the supraclavicular region should include the lymph nodes in the posterior triangle of the neck (level V). If the metastasis axillary lymph node is extensive, then the superior border of the supraclavicular region should be moved upward appropriately.
Conclusions: This study analyzed patients with breast cancer and supraclavicular lymph node metastasis at initial treatment, explored the metastatic pattern of supraclavicular lymph node, and applied anatomical knowledge to further optimize the target volume delineation of supraclavicular lymph node drainage area in breast cancer.
A conservative system based on a triangular wave memristor and its application in image encryption

Reconstruction techniques can capture the attractor data of dissipative chaotic systems, which will lead to a threat to the security of the cryptosystem. Since conservative chaotic systems do not form chaotic attractors, they can avoid the defects of the dissipative system and resist attacks. This paper aims to construct a new type of active charge-controlled memristor based on a triangular wave and apply it to build a non-Hamiltonian globally conservative circuit, the characteristic roots of which are all on the imaginary axis. The system is critically stable and presents extremely high sensitivity to the initial values, exhibiting heterogeneous multistability and homogeneous multistability with local amplitude modulation. This special multistability is of great significance to engineering applications. In addition, as the hardware accuracy is limited and only a few conservative systems have been implemented digitally, the DSP platform is employed herein for the physical implementation of the proposed system. In the end, we applied the novel system to a plaintext-related image encryption algorithm. The results show that the system not merely can resist the risk of data reconstruction, but also has excellent random characteristics, and is suitable for encryption.

Objective:
Fractures of the proximal humerus are common injuries. Treatment options vary according to fracture patterns, surgeon preferences and implant availability. Increasing interest is being given to minimally invasive surgical procedures. In this article an original surgical procedure is described combining percutaneous retrograde intramedullary pinning (PRIP) and open reduction with lag screw fixation in the treatment of displaced Neer three-part fractures of the proximal humerus.
Methods:
We report on the preliminary results of a retrospective series of six patients treated with PRIP and open lag screw fixation reviewed with a mean follow-up of 25 months.
Radiologic assessment was made on plain x-rays. Functional results were assessed according to the Constant and Murely score, the disabilities of the arm, shoulder and hand (DASH) score, and the analogue visual score (AVS).
Results:
Radiologic reduction was “anatomical” in all the patients. The average Absolute Constant Score (ACS) was 55.16 (range from 30 to 80). The average DASH score was 27.3 (range from 19 to 36). Only one case of proximal pin migration was reported.
Conclusion:
The association of PRIP with open reduction and lag screw fixation can be an interesting alternative yielding good results in our developing countries where more advanced fixation devices are not readily available.

Conducting optimization calculations for thermoelectric performance can be beneficial in guiding the direction of further experimental work. In our study, we utilize a combination of the first principle and restructured single parabolic band model to investigate heavily doped semiconductors based on manganite. Ca0.5L0.5MnO3 (CLMO) and Ca0.5L0.25Bi0.25MnO3 (CLBMO) as samples shows optimization of 30% and 69% respectively at a temperature of 800 K from their respective optimal values. In addition, both samples show two to three orders of magnitude smaller lattice thermal conductivity than their electronic thermal conductivity. This excludes complex phononic transport mechanisms from the calculation of the figure of merit (ZT). The ZT calculations of CLMO and CLBMO are corrected by the ratio of the transport relaxation time of electrical conductivity to the transport relaxation time of electronic thermal conductivity, resulting in ZT values of 0.063 and 0.327 at a temperature of 800 K, respectively.

Networks of solution-processed nanomaterials are becoming increasingly important across applications in electronics, sensing and energy storage/generation. Although the physical properties of these devices are often completely dominated by network morphology, the network structure itself remains difficult to interrogate. Here, we utilise FIB-SEM nanotomography to quantitatively characterise the morphology of nanostructured networks and their devices using nanometre-resolution 3D images. The influence of nanosheet/nanowire size on network structure in printed films of graphene, WS2 and silver nanosheets, as well as networks of silver nanowires, is investigated. We present a comprehensive toolkit to extract morphological characteristics including network porosity, tortuosity, specific surface area, pore dimensions and nanosheet orientation, which we link to network resistivity. By extending this technique to interrogate the structure and interfaces within vertical printed heterostacks, we demonstrate the potential of this technique for device characterisation and optimisation.

Introduction: Peridontitis has been associated with inflammatory rheumatic diseases.
Objectives: We evaluated oral mucosal, periodontal, and periapical dental condition of 24 arthritis patients at baseline and after six months of biological therapy and we also determined if their baseline dental condition would affect the outcome of biological therapy.
Methods: The mean age of these patients was 48.8±13.8 years and their mean disease duration was 7.81±7.29 years. Clinical responder (R) and non-responder (NR) status was determined after 6 months of anti-TNF treatment. Altogether 20 patients (9 RA and 11 AS) started on 50 mg etanercept (ETN) SC weekly, while 4 patients (all RA) received certolizumab pegol (CZP; 400 mg at 0, 2 and 4 weeks and thereafter 200 mg every two weeks SC).
Results: During the six months of treatment period, 6 patients (3 female RA and 3 male AS) terminated the study prematurely as they did not respond to treatment (NR). By the end of study period, oral lichen planus (OLP) lesions developed on the oral mucosa of two patients (1 male and 1 female). When comparing periodontal indices at baseline and after 6 months of anti-TNF treatment in R group, GI increased (0.65±0.34 vs 0.88±0.30; p<0.05), while CPDmax (4±1.94 vs 2.72±1.36; p<0.05) and CALmax decreased (5.22±2.56 vs 2.72±1.36; p<0.05) over time. Therapeutic success was associated with older age (R: 52.7±11.8 years; NR: 37.2±13.4 years; p<0.05). In addition, there was a significant difference in mean baseline GI in R (0.65±0.39) and NR patients (0.52±0.07; p<0.05).
Conclusions: We postulate that younger age and mild gingival inflammation in such patients may result in anti-TNF therapy failure. Certainly, further studies are needed to elucidate this issue.
Distance to Frontier, Manager Turnover, and Economic Growth

Published: April 2023

We apply a dictionary method to Standard & Poor’s Capital IQ microdata on CEO changes, in order to construct a country-level manager turnover index. Next, we study the relation between manager turnover, distance to the technology frontier and economic growth in a panel of countries. Our findings give empirical support to Acemoglu, Aghion and Zilibotti’s (2006) theoretical model: low manager turnover rates become negatively correlated with growth as countries get closer to the technology frontier. Our results are robust to different (mild or strict) definitions of manager change motive, as well as to a weighted (by firm size) version of the turnover index. We also address endogeneity issues by instrumenting our manager turnover index with the Doing Business “number of procedures to open a new business” variable.

Published: April 2023

Little is known about the papillomacular bundle defect (PMBD) in glaucoma. As such, we investigated the frequency of PMBD in glaucoma patients with high myopia, and its risk factors. In this retrospective, cross-sectional study, Retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) defect was analyzed in 92 glaucomatous eyes with high myopia (axial length of 26.0 mm or more or an average spherical value of –6.0 diopters or less). After dividing them into two groups with and without PMBD, respectively, the clinical characteristics of the groups were compared and analyzed. The mean age of the patients was 52.1 ± 10.5 years, and there were 53 males and 39 females. PMBD were observed in 55 eyes (59.8%). There was no significant intergroup difference in baseline or follow-up intraocular pressure (IOP). Parapapillary atrophy (PPA)-to-Disc-area ratio (OR 3.83, CI:1.58 – 10.27), lamina cribrosa defect (LCD; OR 2.92, CI :1.14 – 8.13, p = 0.031) and central visual field defect (CVFD; OR 3.56, CI : 1.38 – 9.58, p = 0.010) were significantly associated with the PMBD group.
