Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) have a very important role in the local and national economy, especially in the Kotabaru area. MSMEs play a role in absorbing labor, overcoming poverty, and distributing development results. MSMEs usually produce on a small scale and require attention in marketing the products they produce. Marketing communication can be a strategy for every MSME to learn to introduce the products they produce to other parties or the general public so that they have the same understanding and intention of the products and brands being sold. Every MSME, in addition to focusing on producing competitive products, must also be able to market what they produce. In the early stages, every MSME must be able to read market needs, so that they can produce products according to the targeted market segment. Furthermore, MSMEs can use the communication facilities they have and join MSME centers according to the type of business they have. By using good marketing communication, it will have an impact on the progress of the business being carried out and MSMEs will grow into competitive MSMEs

Primary squamous cell carcinoma (PSCC) of the thyroid gland is a rare pathology because there is no squamous epithelium in the thyroid gland. Primary squamous cell carcinoma of the thyroid gland is rare of the thyroid malignancy, accounting for < 1% of all reported cases globally. It is extremely aggressive in nature and has a poor prognosis. We offer a case report of a female patient who presented with neck swelling – Solitary thyroid nodule of right lobe of thyroid; FNAC misinterpreted it as papillary carcinoma of the thyroid and redo FNAC using image guidance showed it to be PSCC. Patient underwent total thyroidectomy with central neck dissection and right modified radical neck dissection, and HPE revealed it to be a case of moderately differentiated squamous cell carcinoma of the thyroid. Our workup is discussed, including the distinction from metastatic illness, etiology of squamous cell carcinoma in thyroid and possible hypothesis behind dedifferentiation and metaplastic theory.

Kerusakan dini jalan disebabkan antara lain oleh lalu lintas harian (LHR) yang tinggi, kendaraan dengan dimensi dan beban berlebih (ODOL) yang melintas, dan kondisi tanah yang problematik dan lunak. Perbaikan subgrade yang dapat dilakukan untuk mengatasi kerusakan adalah dengan penerapan metode grouting water cement. Untuk menganalisis kondisi lapisan bawah permukaan setelah diinjeksi air semen dilakukan uji lapangan dengan akuisisi data Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR). Hasil analisis data GPR pada Sta 34+700 dan Sta 37+850 di jalan nasional Tuban–Babat–Lamongan–Gresik menunjukkan pada radargram material grouting naik akibat tekanan balik. Material tidak dapat menembus lapisan subgrade sehingga material grouting menyebar pada lapisan agregat dan keluar melalui lubang grouting di titik lain pada permukaan aspal. Pada radargram terlihat reflector berupa horizon kecil tajam dan seragam sepanjang trace sampai lapisan paling bawah sehingga tidak ada perubahan kondisi lapisan subgrade setelah dilakukan grouting water cement. Dari penelitian ini, perbaikan tanah dengan menggunakan injeksi air semen pada jenis tanah kohesif tidak memberikan pengaruh signifikan terhadap peningkatan kepadatan tanah karena air semen yang diinjeksi tidak masuk kedalam mikropori tanah.

OPTIMISASI PENEMPATAN SENSOR AKSELEROMETER DENGAN METODE EFFECTIVE INDEPENDENCE
Authors: Ramadhani Sofyan
Published: September 2024

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menentukan penempatan sensor accelerometer yang optimal melalui penggunaan metode Effective Independence (EFI). Jembatan Pulau Balang digunakan sebagai lokasi studi. Dalam penelitian ini, metode EFI digunakan untuk mengoptimalkan lokasi sensor accelerometer dengan mempertimbangkan berbagai target mode shape. Metode EFI memberikan alternatif penempatan sensor yang optimal dengan jumlah sensor yang sesuai dengan jumlah target mode shape yang digunakan dalam analisis. Namun, penempatan sensor dapat menghasilkan penempatan yang tidak simetris yang dapat menyebabkan ketidakmampuan sensor yang berada di satu sisi jembatan untuk mendeteksi getaran dari sumber beban di sisi lainnya. Untuk mengatasi hal ini, dalam studi ini dilakukan penempatan sensor secara simetris melalui proses pencerminan (mirroring). Penelitian ini menghasilkan lima alternatif penempatan sensor yang memberikan fleksibilitas bagi pemilik jembatan dalam memilih konfigurasi yang sesuai dengan anggaran yang tersedia. Hasil penelitian ini dapat menjadi acuan bagi pemilik jembatan untuk memantau kesehatan struktural jembatan secara akurat dengan konfigurasi sensor yang optimal. Dengan adanya informasi ini, pemilik jembatan dapat membuat keputusan yang lebih efektif dan efisien dalam implementasi Sistem Monitoring Kesehatan Struktur sehingga meningkatkan keselamatan dan keandalan jembatan tersebut.

Gross Evaluation of Breast Carcinomas Post–Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy Without Radio-opaque Clip Insertion
Authors: Shah Prarthna , Desai Sangeeta , Shet Tanuja
Published: September 2024

Context.—

Gross evaluation of post–neoadjuvant chemotherapy breast carcinoma is challenging when the primary tumor is not localized before therapy with a radio-opaque wire/clip, a situation common in resource-constrained settings.

Objective.—

To compare 2 grossing approaches in post–neoadjuvant chemotherapy breast carcinoma specimens to evaluate the sampling adequacy.

Design.—

Fifty breast carcinoma specimens were grossed in a 2-step manner. Tumor bed was identified using clinico-radiologic and gross correlation and 1 slice was selected as most representative (sample I). Subsequently, the entire tumor bed was submitted in grids of multiple slices (sample II). Agreement between methods was assessed using κ values.

Results.—

Sample I prepared an average of 8 blocks per case while sample II prepared 26 blocks. Pathologic complete response (pCR) by both methods was calculated. Sample I documented 23 cases with pCR of which 21 were confirmed by sample II. The 2 cases missed by sample I had less than 5% residual tumor (residual cancer burden class I). Both cases were human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)–positive and residual tumor was seen in the slices adjacent to the selected slice. The concordance between the 2 methods was 94% with κ value of 0.915 for sample I, indicating excellent correlation with sample II.

Conclusions.—

The average cost of sample I was 33% of that of sample II and helped calculate the residual cancer burden with similar accuracy. However, in HER2-positive cases, pCR may be overestimated. Hence, we recommend sampling slices adjacent to the selected tumor slice. Further study using this method is essential due to its limited sample size and single-center design before considering implementation in the general population.

Published: September 2024

Chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) is very common in the western world with various studies reporting a prevalence of46-84%, depending on the population studied, the definition of CVI and the mode of diagnosis (ultrasound or clinical).In Greece, a few studies have focused on this chronic health problem and the findings are contradictory in terms of CVIincidence in the two genders, in different age groups and in urban or rural areas. We herein present the protocol andstudy design of our study targeting to assess the prevalence of CVI in Greece and the quality of life of patients at differentstages of the disease (C0s-C6).A cross-sectional study will be carried out in Greece between December 2022 and February 2023. The study will include~2,300 adults constituting a random and representative sample of the general population in terms of geographic regionof residence and gender based on the most recent census (2021). This sample will be selected from a random sampleof pharmacies invited to participate in the study per geographic region; this will be proportional to the number of individualsto be included per geographic region to ensure representativeness. Each pharmacy will enroll 10 individuals.Data collection will be carried out with the help of a questionnaire focusing on CVI symptoms. Colour photographs oflower extremities of different CVI stages will help the respondents to select whether they identify with one of thesestages (C0s-C6). Their quality of life will be assessed via the CIVIQ-14 questionnaire.
Anatomical challenges in TEVAR and recent developments in the design of thoracic aortic stent-grafts
Authors: Mylonas Spyridon , Moulakakis Konstantinos
Published: September 2024

Endovascular repair is the treatment of choice for the patients suffering from thoracic aortic pathologies. Nevertheless, a higher proportion of young and female patients, as well as substantially high-profile delivery systems, lead to significantly higher morbidity rates or possibly the inability to implant any endoprosthesis at all. Thoracic stent-grafts have additional challenges to overcome due to the aortic curvature. This article will review the latest stent graft designs to help address anatomical challenges.
Endovascular treatment of an aortoiliac aneurysm with concomitant left pelvic kidney and ectopic origin of the renal artery
Authors: Sprem Senka , Dorn Anna , Majd Payman
Published: September 2024

Abstract
 
Introduction:
An aortoiliac aneurysm with a pelvic kidney is a quite rare coincidence. The general challenge of open surgery treatment of such a condition is to avoid prolonged intervals of renal ischemia with possible impairment of renal function. In recent times also endovascular treatments are performed, as these only include minimal ischemic phases, e. g. due to inflated modelling balloons.
 
Methods:
We present a case report describing the successful endovascular treatment of a 66-year-old patient with an aortoiliac aneurysm and a concomitant left pelvic kidney using a single-branched endoprosthesis and an iliac side branch with the corresponding prosthesis extensions and covered stents.
 
Results and conclusion:
We highlight in this case report that the deployment of a custom-made device for the treatment of an aorto-iliac aneurysm with renal anomaly is a feasible solution. However, a strict follow-up is necessary up to long term.
Fate of iliac arteries after open repair of the infrarenal aorta with straight tube-grafts: a propensity matched comparison
Authors: Santoro Annarita , Kahlberg Andrea , Salvati Simone , Bugna Carlotta , Mascia Daniele , Melissano Germano , Chiesa Roberto
Published: September 2024

Introduction and Objectives: This study aims to evaluate the behaviour of iliac arteries (IAs) during followup after straight aortic tube-graft replacement of infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA), and to identify potential predictors for iliac aneurysmal evolution needing reintervention.
Methods: Data of patients who underwent AAA open repair with aorto-aortic straight graft reconstruction between January 2012 and December 2019 at a single Institution were retrospectively reviewed. Patients were included in the study if detailed pre-operative CT-scan images were available. Pre, intra and post-operative variables were tested for possible correlation with iliac aneurysmal evolution requiring reintervention during follow-up, using univariate and multivariate models. All screened IAs were divided in 2 groups according to their IAs pre-operative diameter: <18 mm (group A) or ≥18 mm (Group B).
Propensity score matching (PSM) was performed obtaining two homogeneous groups. Covariates included were: age, gender, hypertension, smoking habit, hyperlipidemia, and cardiac disease. Freedom from iliac reintervention was investigated in matched group A and B by Kaplan-Meier analysis.
Results: Two-hundred eighty-nine patients (261 males – 90.3%; age: 72.0 ± 7.8 years) were included in the study, meaning that 578 IAs were analysed. Mean pre-operative diameter of common IA was 14.3 ± 4.3 mm. At a mean follow-up of 48.5 ± 28.1 months, 5 (1.7%) patients underwent an endovascular repair for aneurysmal evolution of 6 common iliac arteries (CIAs): 5 aneurysms were treated with iliac-branch stent-grafts, and one with a standard stent-graft and concomitant occlusion of the internal iliac artery. The median time to reintervention was 35.4 (range 32.8 - 50.2) months. In subgroup analysis, 468 IAs (81%) were included in Group A, and 110 (19%) in Group B. Iliac arteries in group B were significantly more tortuous (p<0.001, Pearson correlation: 0.175) and calcified (p=0.025, Pearson correlation: 0.093). After PSM (1:1), 110 IAs per group were identified and tested for iliac related reintervention by using Kaplan-Meier analysis. Freedom from iliac reintervention at 5 years was 100% in Group A and 95,2% in Group B (log-rank test, p=0.043).
Conclusions: Reintervention rate for iliac aneurysmal evolution after open straight tube-graft repair of AAA is generally low at mid-term follow up. Pre-operative iliac diameter ≥ 18 mm is associated with an increased risk of late reintervention. Careful follow-up in these patients should be considered.
Cross-border trade as an object of research and state regulation
Authors:   Financial University under the Government of the Russian Federation, Kuznetsova Olga Vladimirovna
Published: September 2024

The analysis of scientific literature and regulatory legal acts shows that cross-border trade, despite the widespread use of this term, does not have an unambiguous understanding. In a narrow sense, this is trade across the border exclusively in the interests of the population and companies of border territories, often in the presence of a special regime of foreign trade activity. In a broad sense, foreign trade flows between regions of neighboring countries or even regions of the same country with neighboring countries. The contribution of cross-border trade to the development of foreign trade is often negative due to its use exclusively for avoiding taxes and customs payments. Therefore, cross-border trade is more important as a component of the state spatial, rather than foreign economic policy. In order to improve the state regulation of border trade in Russia, it is proposed to specify the goals and objectives of its development (positioning as one of the directions of activating the socio-economic development of border territories), ensuring effective formats of interaction between federal authorities and authorities of border territories, clarifying the powers of the latter. It is proposed to pay special attention to the links of cross-border trade with other areas of cross-border cooperation and economic policy in general (since it is impossible to ensure cardinal shifts in the development of the economy of territories only through cross-border trade), for example, to work out the issue of creating special economic zones (or their analogues) in border regions; to specify the directions of development of cross-border cooperation for different types of border territories, depending on the current and prospective nature of their foreign economic relations with neighboring countries.
The geography of mentality as an ethological geography: subject-object analysis
Authors:   Orenburg State University, Lyubichankovsky Alexey Valentinovich
Published: September 2024

In modern social geography, a lacuna of mental-geographical problems is opening, which needs research study. Territorial social systems are inextricably linked with the "mental factor". The article is devoted to the substantiation of a new scientific direction within the framework of social geography, focused on the study of socio-geographical factors and features of the formation, reproduction and transformation of mentality – ethological geography. The task of studying space in mentality, which is important in the socio-geographical plan, is not included in the tasks of ethological geography. Ethological geography expresses the geography of mentality, not mental geography. The problem of mentality in the structure of socio-geographical research suggests the substantiation of ethological geography in the subjectobject context of geographical science: geographical shell, geosystem, cultural landscapes, territorial social systems, etc. Subject-object analysis of ethological geography involves the choice of a basic, key approach that takes into account the specifics of the studied subject of research, based on the proven methodology of social geography. It is shown that such an approach is the concept of the territorial organization of culture and the main regularities of the territorial organization of society. The analysis carried out made it possible to formulate the object and subject of the study of ethological geography. The object of research, on which the research process is directed as a whole, is the spatial structures of ethos. The subject of the study as a reflection of the essential aspects of the object, its detailing in a specific research field is socio-geographical factors and features of the formation, reproduction and transformation of ethos in cultural-territorial communities. Geographical studies of the cultural space of Russia suggest a significant expansion of the subject matter due to theoretical and methodological developments in the geography of mentality, which will make it possible to determine the potential for long-term sustainability of multicultural communities and determine management technologies that can effectively and adequately respond to the rapidly changing political, economic and socio-cultural conjuncture.
Review of domestic approaches to evaluation of pendulum labor migration
Authors:   Plekhanov Russian University of Economics, Babkin Roman Alexandrovich
Published: September 2024

Based on the results of a review of a number of selected domestic studies of commuting, the article systematizes and critically evaluates approaches to studying this phenomenon in Russia. The consideration of approaches is accompanied by an analysis of statistical sources based on the relevance criteria identified by the author: depth and detail of data, spatial coverage, regularity of collection, accessibility, spatial resolution. It was shown that there are four main areas of commuting research in Russian practice, each of which is based on relevant data sources. The first approach uses official statistics (census data, sample surveys of the labor force) covering demographic and macroeconomic indicators of employment. The second approach operates with departmental statistics, usually affecting certain characteristics of the sphere of labor (tax revenues, registration of migrants, etc.), through which researchers approach the interpretation of commuting. The third approach is based on selective sociological research (opinion polls and in-depth interviews). The works based on sociological surveys focus on the motives and factors of citizens' mobility, while they differ in the locality of the research object and the limited sample. Finally, the fourth approach is related to the use of big data: information from mobile operators, banking transactions and GIS applications. These sources better offset the traditional weakness of domestic statistics of сommuting, allowing research to be carried out on an array of solid and detailed alternative statistics. In addition, special attention is paid in the article to the consideration of approaches to the synthesis of heterogeneous sources by creating balance models with various socioeconomic factors embedded in them.

Authors: Zahrotul Jannah  , Ashari Ashari
Published: September 2024

The results showed that the role of the madrasah head in MI Andzariyah Batuputih Sumenep has a significant impact on increasing teacher creativity. The madrasah head has made efforts to create an environment that supports creativity through training, providing resources, guidance and creating a conducive environment. The training attended by teachers has shown an increase in creativity and courage in experimenting with new learning techniques. However, although resources such as technology have been provided, most teachers still use conventional learning methods, suggesting that the madrasah head's encouragement has not been fully implemented. Other challenges include resistance to change, lack of motivation and limited technology skills among teachers. The madrasah principal's support is only felt by teachers who are motivated and ready to follow directions, indicating the importance of teachers' own self-motivation. Nevertheless, the positive impact of the madrasah principal's role is seen in the increased motivation and enthusiasm of more creative teachers, which in turn will improve the quality of learning and learner outcomes. Therefore, it is necessary to increase the motivation and readiness of teachers to take advantage of the support provided, so that learning in madrasah can become more creative, interactive and quality.

The comparative dynamics of entrepreneurship and traditional employment in the semi-periphery of the EU
Authors: Gosztonyi Márton
Published: September 2024

This study explores the socioeconomic dynamics between entrepreneurship and traditional employment within the framework of the semi-periphery of the European Union, specifically focusing on Hungary. A mix of the ridge, LASSO, elastic net, and polynomial regression techniques are used so as to analyze a representative 2022 dataset, examining how individual self-perceptions and local socioeconomic environments influence employment types. The analysis made in this study reveals that, while entrepreneurship and traditional employment often exist on a continuum, they are influenced by the distinct socioeconomic and perceptual factors that contribute to a fluid employment landscape. The key findings indicate significant variations in how entrepreneurs and traditional employees perceive local economies, trust in institutions, and view their personal roles within the economic system. The study reveals critical details in the interplay between personal aspirations and a broader socioeconomic context, suggesting a complex, intertwined relationship that challenges traditional dichotomies between employment types.

Published: September 2024

Marfan syndrome is autosomal dominant connective tissue disorder. It becomes evident in childhood and persists through adulthood. Phenotype characteristics of disease are very different. Aortic dilatation stands out as one the most important. Rupture or dissection of aorta during anesthesia is a serious complication that increases the risk for perioperative complications and mortality rate. Case report: We described perioperative course in adolescent with borderline dilatation ascending aorta and aortic root as well as dilatation of sinuses of Valsalva during general anesthesia for spine deformity surgical correction. The aim of preoperative preparation was to identify all features of disease that increase risk for complications while chosen opioid based anesthesia technique aimed to preserve hemodynamic stability. Lung protective ventilation strategy prevented pneumothorax, atelectasis and other respiratory complications. Careful preparation for major blood losses using cell saver enabled saving half of intraoperative lost blood volume which was returned to patient. Whole perioperative course was uneventful. Conclusion: Patients with Marfan syndrome can be found in every age group. They often require different surgical procedures. Regardless of surgery, aim of every anesthesia and preoperative preparation is to prevent predictable complications
Landscape alteration effects of quarrying operation and its reclamation prospect using drone
Authors: Oluwaseyi Ifelola , Alhassan Muhammed
Published: September 2024

Surface mining involving quarrying of rocks often causes significant landscape alteration, culminating in a range of environmental effects from aesthetics to ecosystem disturbances if not properly managed. This study focused on the assessment of the geo-spatial changes in landscape of a marble deposit occasioned by quarrying in Ikpesi, Akoko-Edo, Edo State, Nigeria with the aim of future reclamation. Aerial mapping of the quarry and its contiguous vegetated land was carried out using an unmanned vehicle (UAV) DJI Phantom 4 drone. Images captured were uploaded to the cloud and processed by DroneDeploy software to generate the digital surface models-orthomosaics of the quarry and its adjoining land as well as the elevation Heatmaps, the pits cut/fill of the quarry and the Plant health map. The results show that a significant landmass of the quarry has been affected due to excavation of materials. The total area of land worked by the Quarry was (40,400 m2 ), the total cut (106,469.6 m3 ) and fill of (124,708.5 m3 ) with a net fill volume of (-18,238.84 m3 ). In order to avoid material deficit for reclamation in the long run, critical planning for "quarry waste materials" management is needed to ensure ultimate reclamation to an acceptable topographical level.

Islamic education plays a major role in preserving the values of human life. Although humanity has made a lot of progress, especially in the digital age that is changing the order of life, Islamic religious education must remain in control of that goal. In addition, the existence of Arfificial Intelligent (AI) technology has also reduced the role of humans. Therefore, human critical thinking must be improved by using AI technology. This research aims to explore higher education in developing students' critical thinking skills through the use of artificial intelligence technology. The approach used in this study is a qualitative approach with the type of case study. Data collection techniques are carried out by observation, interviews and documentation. The main informants in this study are lecturers and students of Darullughah Wadda'wah International Islamic University. Data analysis was carried out through three categories, namely condensation, display and verification. To corroborate the findings of the research results, the researcher conducted triangulation, both data triangulation and source triangulation. The results of this study show that AI technology is very effective in developing students to think critically. AI can stimulate students' critical thinking based on AI considerations. Their limitations in telling the idea of knowledge will be overcome with this AI technology. The integration of artificial intelligence in Islamic education has the potential to revolutionize the way students learn and engage in their studies. Using AI technology to personalize the learning experience, educators can meet individual needs and interests, which ultimately improves students' critical thinking skills. Following up on these findings, the improvement of students' critical thinking skills through the use of AI technology must be further optimized through the design of learning plans, learning resources, and AI-based learning assessments.

Menggunakan teknologi infomasi maupun komunikasi kita dengan mudah dapat mengetahui informasi atau berhubungan langsung dengan setiap orang yang berada di segala penjuruh dunia. Teknologi informasi sebagai sarana promisi destinasi wisata menjadi bentuk dan wujud dalam meningkatkan kemajuan suatu daerah terutama dalam bidang pendapatan perekonomian. Selama ini pemerintah daerah atau pengelola destinasi wisata masi kurang memiliki pemahaman mengenai penggunakan teknologi informasi sebagai sarana promosi destinasi wisata sebagai kemajuan dalam meningkatkan pengunjung dan pendapatan dalam pertumbuhan ekonomi dan pendapatan daerah serta maasyarakat setempat. Selama ini mereka mempromosikan destinasi pariwisata masi menggunakan komunikasi langsung yang dilakukan dari perbincangan orang yang telah berkunjung ke tempat destinasi wisata. Oleh sebab itu adanya pengabdian kepada masyarakat untuk meningkatkan kemajuan destinasi pariwisata dengan mengajarkan pemerintah atau pengelola destinasi wisata sebagai media promosi yang digunakan dengan muda dan menjadi kemajuan dan peningkatan pada destinasi wisata tersebut.
Brand Reallocation and Market Concentration
Authors: Pearce Jeremy , Wu Liangjie
Published: September 2024

We study the interaction of customer capital and productivity through brand reallocation across firms. We develop a firm dynamics model with brands as transferable customer capital, heterogeneous firm productivity, and variable markups. We study the matching process between transferable brand capital and core productivity, which can be inefficient with significant welfare implications. We link USPTO trademark data with Nielsen sales data to study the prevalence of brand reallocation and the response of sales and prices to reallocation. Quantitatively, brand reallocation reduces welfare. Optimal policies deviate substantially from the literature due to the complementarity between brand capital and productivity.

This study examines the impact of digital CRM tools on consumer retention within the FMCG sector in Nigeria. Employing a quantitative research design, the study utilized a sample size of 376 respondents out of 500 surveyed, with a high response rate of 75.2%. The research investigates three dimensions of digital CRM tools: personalized marketing communication (PMC), automated customer service (ACS), and data-driven insights (DDI). Utilizing regression analysis with SPSS, the study finds that each dimension positively influences consumer retention. Specifically, personalized marketing communication enhances customer loyalty through tailored engagement, automated customer service improves satisfaction by streamlining support, and data-driven insights enable informed decision-making to meet customer needs effectively. The findings highlight the practical implications of integrating advanced CRM strategies to boost retention rates and provide actionable recommendations for FMCG companies. The study also suggests further research into sector-specific personalization, emerging technologies, and cross-regional CRM impacts to deepen understanding and optimize CRM applications.
Attitudes toward refugees between group-focused enmity and other-oriented responsiveness: Evidence from nationally representative German samples 2015/2016 and 2022

What are the differences in attitudes toward incoming people who seek refuge from war and toward those who supposedly are coming because of the better living conditions? How could this attitudinal difference be explained? This article presents spotlights on the attitudes toward refugees in Germany based on national representative surveys in two periods, when the German borders were crossed (a) by high numbers of people fleeing the war in Syria in 2015 and early 2016 (n = 1,262), and (b) when in 2022 most refugees came from Ukraine (n = 1,339). Results based on a repeated cross-sectional design indicate that, during both periods of peak war-related refugee immigration, there was high agreement to accepting war refugees into Germany, which even increased between 2016 (81.1%) and 2022 (89.8%), while, in contrast, the majority (2016: 70.0%; 2022: 60.8%) resisted accepting refugees who supposedly seek only better living conditions. Further, using a newly designed model, we demonstrate that the Group-focused Enmity syndrome is negatively associated with the agreement to accept war refugees into Germany (β = -.31), but much more negatively with accepting supposedly ‘economic’ refugees (β = -.49), while the component of Other-oriented Responsiveness is positively associated with accepting war refugees (β = .23). The results document continuously high agreement to accepting war refugees into Germany; further the study opens a perspective on prejudice reduction and suggests understanding the attitudes to refugees in a model that tests the opposition between othering and responsiveness. Both key results invite further investigation.

Near-infrared activation of environmentally-friendly gold and silver nanoparticles for unclogging arteries
Authors: Gill Angad , Webster Thomas
Published: September 2024

Coronary artery disease, the number one cause of death throughout the world, is the most prevalent form of heart disease. It occurs when there is unhealthy cholesterol build-up in the coronary arteries, which impairs their ability to provide blood and oxygen to the heart, leading to a heart attack or stroke. Although many conventional medications and approaches (e.g., stents) can re-establish blood flow in clogged arteries, medications do not target specific pathological areas (such as thrombosis), affecting nearby healthy blood vessels, and surgical procedures can be highly invasive. We hypothesized that certain nanoparticles (gold and silver coated with aspirin) activated by near-infrared (NIR) would improve blood flow in clogged arteries because they exhibit special thermal responsive properties. Both nanoparticles used in this study were obtained from environmentally friendly materials and are safe to help minimize toxicity during metabolism in important parts of the body, such as the lungs and brain. After the green synthesis of these nanoparticles, we characterized them using dynamic light scattering (DLS) to determine their average size. After adding these nanoparticles to a clogged artery model system and activating them by NIR, the simulated blood flow rate increased from 3.6 to 10.2 mL/min with aspirin-coated gold nanoparticles and increased from 3.9 to 8.3 mL/min with aspirin-coated silver nanoparticles. In summary, this study demonstrated that gold and silver nanoparticles improved the flow rate in a fluid model of a clogged artery and should, thus, be further studied for cardiovascular disease applications.
