A conceptual framework for positioning the architect within a continual digital approach to designing architecture: The “digital chain” case
Authors: Markovic Sladjana , Miodragovic-Vella Irina , Hovestadt Ludger
Published: September 2024

Studying the development of digital technology in architecture during the last thirty years highlights the opportunity for exploring the process of positioning the architect within an architectural approach based on the continual digital data-driven design and realization, using the example of the ?digital chain? principle. Digital tools and processes have evolved driven by technological advancements and supporting the architectural design, but also challenging the influence and role of the architect as designer. Accordingly, the positioning of the architect within the design and realization of architecture is a process that constantly is developing, evolving, progressing and changing, but not simultaneously with the development of technology. The paper investigates this with the focus on the ?digital chain?, which is the continual approach that links architectural design and realization by coding the process and involving digital fabrication (machine and material) and the architect in each step of architectural accomplishments. Methodologically, this research is based on overlapping the information of a (rapid) review of the continual digital data-driven design principle (example of ?digital chain?) over time and the conventional (analog) design focused both on architect?s discourse, role and influence in the current and future design and implementation of works of architecture. The paper does not define the exact position of the architect in the ?digital chain? because the process is further evolving and also depends on the type of fabrication, taking into account the freedom of choice of the architect. It does, however, identify the zone and type of influence of the process effects on the architect, and determines the necessity and role of the architect as a designer in the process. The work aims to define and outline the currently developing conceptual framework of the positioning of architects, while a precise definition of the position would hinder the architect from expressing creativity. However, new research directions open a scientific field of constant redefinition of the design process with architectural influence in terms of activities and characteristics of the role of the architect within continual digital approaches to designing architecture.
Material hold-up on inert particles in fluidized bed dryer
Authors: Djuris Mihal , Arsenijevic Zorana , Kaludjerovic-Radoicic Tatjana
Published: September 2024

In this paper the influence of process parameters on the material hold-up in a fluidized bed dryer with inert particles was investigated. The experiments were performed in a pilot-scale dryer with a cylindrical column 0.215 m in diameter and 1.2 m height, with glass spheres of diameters dp = 1.20 mm and 1.94 mm as inert particles. The material used for drying was NaHCO3 slurry of two different concentrations, 10 and 20 wt.%. Dynamics of the material hold-up was determined for four different drying temperatures, in the range from 60 to 120?C by taking the samples of coated particles during the drying process and measuring the mass with and without the coated material film. The obtained results showed strong positive dependence of the material hold-up on the initial slurry concentration as well as on the drying temperature. The rate of the material film coating formation is quicker at higher drying temperatures.
William Paley’s a Fortiori Argument
Authors: Rujevic Goran
Published: September 2024

One of the best-known forms of a teleological argument for god is William
Paley?s watchmaker argument. This argument was contrived in 1802 and is most
ofen presented as ana analogical argument. However, Hume?s rather effective
refutation of analogical arguments predates it, having appeared in 1779.
This temporal misalignment between the argument and its refutation can be
explained by showing that Paley?s argument need not be interpreted as
analogical. rather, it can be considered as an introspective an a posteriori
argument a fortiori, which appeals to the reader to consistently extrapolate
their own intuitions about various hypothetical situations. According to
this model, Paley?s argument sidesteps Hume?s criticism, but also opens
itself to attack from contemporary empirical biology.
Thinking the event and aesthetics: No-drama and the photographic objectivity
Authors: Radovanovic Sasa
Published: September 2024

The text analyzes Heidegger?s attitude towards East Asian art. His thesis is
developed that the language of aesthetics cannot explain the basic concepts
of Japanese or East Asian art. Then a comparison is made between the film
Rashomon and the nodrama. The difference between European and East Asian art
is established. European art is symbolic and representational. It is based
on the understanding of Being. East Asian art is non-symbolic and
non-representative. Emptiness, non-beings play an essential role in its
determination. Then, Heidegger?s position is shown that language as a
hermeneutic relation to being is a medium of a possible encounter with East
Asian art. At the end, the consequences of such an attitude are determined
for Heidegger?s philosophy of art and the thinking the event.

Mineralocorticoid Receptor Antagonists in Diabetic Kidney Disease: Clinical Evidence and Potential Adverse Events
Authors: Upadhyay Ashish , Haider Lalarukh
Published: September 2024

Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is the leading cause of chronic kidney disease (CKD) globally and is associated with an increased risk of developing cardiovascular disease (CVD). DKD management requires a multipronged approach to decrease the progression of CKD and CVD. Mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists (MRAs) added to renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system blockade and sodium–glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor therapy reduce the incidence of cardiovascular outcomes and progression of CKD. This review examines the cardiorenal benefits of MRAs and summarizes evidence on potential risks for acute kidney injury, hyperkalemia, and sexual dysfunction for steroidal and nonsteroidal MRAs.
Regional variation in low-value musculoskeletal surgery: a nationwide study from the Finnish Care Register
Authors: Ponkilainen Ville , Laurema Anniina , Mattila Ville M , Karjalainen Teemu
Published: September 2024

Background and purpose: Healthcare systems globally are grappling with resource constraints and rising costs. Concerns have been raised about “low-value” care, which consumes healthcare resources without benefiting patients. We aimed to examine regional differences in common low-value musculoskeletal surgeries in Finland and explore explanatory factors behind the variation.Methods: Using data from the Finnish Care Register for Health Care, surgeries conducted from 2006–2007 compared with 2020–2021 were analyzed across 20 hospital districts. Selected surgeries (acromioplasty, rotator cuff repair, partial meniscectomy, wrist arthroscopy, ankle arthroscopy, and distal radius fracture fixation) were categorized based on NOMESCO procedure codes, and incidence rates in older populations were calculated based on population size derived from Statistics Finland.Results: We found substantial regional disparities in low-value surgeries. The incidence rates were higher in hospitals with high historical incidence rates and smaller population sizes, suggesting that the uptake of evidence is slower in small non-academic hospitals.Conclusion: The incidence of low-value surgery is declining but regional differences remain large. It is unlikely that regional variation in disease incidence explains such large variation in low-value surgery. Instead, local treatment culture seems to be the driving force behind low-value surgery, and the practices seem to be more entrenched in small hospitals.

Authors: Afandi Titah , Roselani Ni Gusti Ayu
Published: September 2024

Academic writing in the form of international journal articles is primarily read and used as references for many academic communities. Since the writers of an international journal are from different backgrounds and countries, their works have some differences in terms of writing styles. How the writers show authorial identity and authority through the texts is one of the aspects that causes the differences. This study investigates how Indonesian and non-Indonesian writers established their identities in academic writing. This study used the descriptive qualitative research method. Hyland’s (2005b) stances theory (hedges, boosters, attitude makers, and self-mentions) was applied as the research approach with the help of the AntConc corpus toolkit to analyze the data that were collected from an international journal. The results and discussion show similarities and differences regarding Hyland’s stances in journal articles written by Indonesian and non-Indonesian writers. The results and discussion reveal both similarities and differences in how Indonesian and non-Indonesian writers convey authorial identity and authority through their texts.

Moral judgment as a pivotal modulator in entrepreneurial cognition frameworks
Authors: Rizal Ach. Syaiful , Ali Alnajar Ali Elazumi , Permadi Edo Galih
Published: September 2024

This study aims to reconstruct the adoption of the theory of planned behaviour for predicting entrepreneurial intentions by examining moral judgement as an intervening variable. This study is significant in the present times since there is flawed reasoning when analysing entrepreneurial intentions. Most people believe that entrepreneurial intention is a manifestation of social aspects or favourable or unfavourable evaluation of the behaviour of interest. As such, they formulate that those aspects directly affect entrepreneurial intentions. Within the current study, our analyses do not provide strong empirical evidence for such claims. It is documented that moral judgment becomes a mediator for the use of social aspects to predict entrepreneurial intentions. Then, this study also found that moral judgment is the best and closest predictor of entrepreneurial intentions. Therefore, our study proposes different directions to understand and predict entrepreneurial intentions.

Modern Chinese artists differ significantly in terms of their dissemination power. Some famous artists' short videos can receive hundreds of millions of likes, while others can only get sporadic likes. Xu Beihong, a Chinese modern painter and art educator, played a pivotal role in the history of contemporary Chinese art. The study aim is to explore the common value characteristics of great artists' short videos and fill the research gap by analysing the content, subject matter, and presentation forms related to the artist. Based on the theory of art economics, the study takes the top 100 liked short videos of Xu Beihong on the Douyin platform as the research object. First, the accounts that posted these short videos were analysed. Second, content analysis is used to categorise the content of these short videos. Finally, the value behind the data was assessed. Research has found that many short video accounts featuring artists include commercial windows, and many of these short video contents involve commercial aspects. Favourable evaluations of artists are often associated with higher commercial value of the artworks. The results indicate that audience participation and interaction with artworks offer considerable value on short video platforms. Artworks presented through these new channels provide aesthetic and experiential value. The commercialisation of these artworks represents the value derived from audience behaviour and engagement.
What are the effects of ICT diffusion on stock market in emerging countries?
Authors: Gheraia Zouheyr
Published: September 2024

Given the importance of Information Communication Technology (ICT) in stimulating stock market development, many researchers have investigated their influences on the developed markets and high-income economies. The aim of this study is to examine the impact of ICT diffusion on stock market development for a panel of 17 selected emerging countries over the period 1990–2020 and employed the system-generalized method of moments (S-GMM) to test its objective. Three stock market development indicators are also used, namely: stock market capitalization (SMC), stock market total value traded (SMTT), and stock market turnover (SMT). Three ICT indicators are also employed, namely: Fixed telephone subscriptions (FTS), Individuals using the Internet (IUI), and Mobile cellular subscriptions (MCS). Three financial development indicators (deposit money among bank assets (DMB), liquid liabilities (LLB), and private credit by deposit money bank (PCM)) were employed as control variables. In its findings, all selected ICT dynamics positively affect stock market development and its constituents. Secondly, no proof was confirmed in relation to the impact of fixed telephone and stock market development with its elements. Thirdly, evidence of a positive relationship is sparingly apparent in financial development and its components. Fourthly, compared with fixed telephone, internet users more positively and significantly affect stock market development indicators. Policy implications are discussed.

Published: September 2024

Dredging and reclamation operations are pivotal aspects of coastal engineering and land development. Within these tasks lie potential hazards for personnel operating dredging machinery and working within reclamation zones. Due to the specialized nature of the work environment, which deviates from conventional workplace settings, the risk of workplace accidents is significantly heightened. The aim of this study is to conduct a comprehensive risk analysis of the safety aspects related to dredging and reclamation activities, with the goal of enhancing safety and minimizing the frequency and severity of potential dangers. This research comprises a thorough risk analysis, integrating meticulous hazard identification from sample projects and literature reviews. It involves risk assessment by gathering insights from experts with direct working experience and aims to assess potential risks. The study focuses on defining effective risk management strategies, exemplified through a case study of a nearshore construction project in Thailand. The study identified numerous high and very high-risk factors in the assessment and analysis of occupational safety in dredging and reclamation work. Consequently, a targeted response was implemented to control and mitigate these risks to an acceptable level. The outcome of this study will provide a significant contribution to the advancement of guidelines and best practices for improving the safety of dredging and reclamation operations.

Published: September 2024

Considering the technological developments in digital games, it may be an important gain to learn at which points the motivation for virtual reality and augmented reality based games differs from the motivation sources for digital games that can now be considered traditional. The purpose of this study is to examine the motivation levels of Turkish university students studying who are e-athletes and recreationally play digital sports video games in digital sports video games. A total of 72 e-athletes and 81 recreational digital sports video game players aged between 18-24 years participated in the study. The Digital Sports Games Motivation Scale (DSGMS), which was adapted into Turkish by Kilci (2022), validity and reliability study, was used as a data collection tool in the study. Scale responses show that university students' motivation to play digital sports games can differ according to gender and player typology. In particular, the findings that e-athletes have higher motivation than recreational digital players are noteworthy. As a result, it is understood that the motivation to play digital sports games in terms of university students can vary according to various demographic characteristics.

Xanthogranulomatous Pyelonephritis (XGP) is a serious and rare inflammatory disease of unknown etiology. This systematic review analyzes XGP cases. We performed a literature search for “Pyelonephritis, Xanthogranulomatous.” The primary composite outcome was recovery with post-surgery complications, partial recovery, death, or chronic kidney disease. The secondary outcome was any presentation or treatment complication. Predictor variables consisted of demographics, history, symptoms, and diagnosis/management. Among the 251 patients, the mean age was 36.1 years, and 57.4% were female. The most common symptom and finding were fever (55.0%) and renal stones (53.8%), respectively. There were 15.5% with the composite outcome. There were 51.0% with any presentation or treatment complication. Multivariate logistic regression analysis for the composite outcome showed that kidney of both/horseshoe (OR:3.86, 95% CI:1.01, 14.73, p = 0.048), dialysis required (OR:8.64, 95% CI:2.27, 32.94, p = 0.002), and operative treatment of nephrostomy or nephrostomy followed by nephrectomy (OR:4.57, 95% CI:1.58, 13.17, p = 0.01) were each significantly associated with increased odds. Fever (OR:3.04, 95% CI:1.63, 5.67, p <0.001) and renal stones (OR:2.55, 95% CI:1.35, 4.81, p = 0.004) were each significantly associated with increased odds for any presentation/treatment complication. In conclusion, XGP patients with involvement of both or horseshoe kidneys, dialysis requirements, or treatment of nephrostomy or nephrostomy followed by nephrectomy may require aggressive treatment to mitigate poor patient outcomes.

Background: One of the promising methods of influencing the wound process is photobiomodulation (PBM) therapy. The optimal parameters of PBM therapy have not yet been found because the molecular mechanisms of light interaction with tissue are not fully understood. Objective: Studying the influence of PBM of various parameters on the regulation of reparative processes of chronic wounds using the example of indicators of aggregation activity of platelets, platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF), interleukin-8 (IL-8), and amino-terminal propeptide of type III procollagen (PIIINP) at the remodeling stage. And also the study of the structural and functional features of chronic wound healing in an experiment under various parameters of PBM therapy. Methods: Experiments were carried out on Wistar rats. Chronic wounds were simulated. Experimental animals were exposed to PBM at a wavelength of 660 nm and an energy density of 1 J/cm2. In serum, PDGF, IL-8, and PIIINP levels were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The functional activity of platelets was measured using the turbidimetric method. Histological analysis was performed. Results: The work noted the dose-dependent effect of PBM using the example of platelet aggregation at the remodeling stage during the healing of chronic wounds. The use of PBM therapy resulted in increased serum PDGF levels. Histological examination data indicate a positive effect of PBM therapy on the wound healing process. Conclusions: The effectiveness of the use of PBM therapy for the healing of chronic wounds to regulate reparative processes has been proven.

In homeostasis, which plays an important role in the proper functioning and maintenance of the internal functioning of the body, kidneys play a key role in being responsible for the proper homeostasis of glucose. Among glucose transporters, sodium-dependent glucose co-transporters (SGLTs) have a major role in the kidney‘s ability to reabsorb glucose. Although the localization of these transporters has been extensively studied in mammals, there are still gaps in knowledge of the localization of SGLTs in birds of different age groups. The aim of this study was to immunolocalize in kidneys of hen chickens of different ages the sodium-dependent glucose co-transporters SGLT1 and SGLT2, comparing the localization between different age groups. The kidneys derived from 32 hen chickens (Gallus gallus domesticus) were devided equally into four age groups: 3, 7, 14, and 20 day old broilers, 8 indivuals in each group. The polyclonal primary antibodies Rabbit anti- SGLT1 and Rabbit anti-SGLT2 (Abcam, UK) were used together with the corresponding IHC kit (Abcam, UK). The results were visualized photographically using an AxioCam HRc camera (Germany) connected to a Zeiss Axioplan-2 Imaging microscope (Germany). The study revealed similar immunolocalization of SGLT1 and SGLT2 in the apical part of cells of proximal renal tubules in hen chickens’ kidneys in all age groups. Strong staining of SGLT2 was noted also in the cytoplasm of epithelial cells of the proximal straight and convoluted tubules. Based on our study, the kidney tissue of newly hatched chickens is ready immediately after hatching for glucose reabsorption and transport, similarily to that of three-week-old chicks.

The aim of this study was to assess the in vitro penetration rate of antioxidant enriched frozen thawed Kangayam bull semen. For the current investigation, 5-7-year-old Kangayam bulls were used. The semen was collected twice per week and two ejaculates were collected each time. They were subsequently transported to the laboratory for processing of semen and maintained in a water bath at 34°C. On the day of semen collection, three groups of semen were prepared with Tris-egg-yolk Glycerol Extender (TEYG) (group I), TEGY extenders with hyaluronan (group II), and TEGY extenders with metformin (group III) and stored in a water bath at 34°C. According to the group, the semen sample was first diluted at a ratio of 1:1 with the appropriate extender (TEYG, hyaluronan enriched or metformin enriched) and kept in laminar air flow at 22°C for seven minutes. Each semen sample was then extended using the appropriate semen extender in accordance with the dilution rate. After filling, sealing and printing, the final diluted semen sample was subjected to equilibration. Freezing was done as per the standard protocol. Oocytes were collected from cyclical animals on days 1, 5, 9 after estrus using the ultrasound guided transvaginal ovum pick-up method after ablation of the day 0 pre-ovulatory follicle. After oocyte and sperm maturation, the co-incubation of oocyte and sperm was done and the in vitro penetration rate was recorded. The overall in vitro penetration rate recorded in Kangayam cows was 46.66 per cent. Maximum in vitro penetration rate was observed in group II (52 per cent) followed by group III (46 per cent) and in group I (42 per cent). Based on the above findings, it was concluded that hyaluronan enriched semen may be used as a pragmatic approach for cryopreservation of Kangayam bull semen in order to augment the in vitro penetration rate in Kangayam.

Bovine endometritis has become a persistent issue in the global dairy business, resulting in huge economic losses. Due to their numerous positive benefits, Chinese herbal medicines (CHMs) have recently demonstrated remarkable pharmacological potential against endometritis. The objective of this study was to investigate the effects and elucidate the underlying mechanisms of the Yimucao formula (YMF) that involves five herbs in lactation cows under endometritis conditions. Initially, the possible impacts of YMF on cows with endometritis were assessed. Then, using network pharmacology, potential molecular processes by which the YMF prevents endometritis were suggested. The findings demonstrated a considerable improvement in endometritis- related clinical complaints following YMF treatment. Mechanically, 150 active compounds were identified from the Traditional Chinese Medicine Systems Pharmacology Database and Analysis Platform (TCMSP); of these, quercetin, kaempferol, beta-sitosterol, apigenin, isorhamnetin, and sitogluside were the most prevalent active substances. The NCBI gene, GeneCard, and OMIM databases had 110 genes linked to endometritis. The intersection of these targets with the 213 active ingredient targets produced 17 common targets, of which BCL2, IL-6, MMP9, HIF1α, TNF, IL-1β, and ICAM1 were the top 7 core targets. According to the Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment data, atherosclerosis, fluid shear stress, and the AGE-RAGE signaling pathway are the primary causes of YMF’s anti-endometritis action. Finally, our results indicate that the YMF works on endometritis through various and multi-targeted signaling pathways, which provide reference for clinical practice, based on network pharmacology and molecular docking.
