Cosmos-life-consciousness, the role of information
Authors: Pereira Elcio Fabio Soares 
Published: November 2024

The Introduction contains comments on some aspects considered relevant to the work and considerations are made about information and its transmission based on the literature. As shown in the development of the work, many questions considered pertinents arose, some of which yet not answered. The author presents concepts formulated by Shannon that served as the basis for the Information Theory, a methodology formulated by Kolmogorov for estimating the amount of information and some cases in which he discusses aspects related to information transmission. In the Discussion and Conclusions section, he presents his arguments for formulating hypotheses that he considers important for the advancement of science, which are the following: -The need, for universal evolution, of the development of a cognitive being that, by capturing physical signals, transforms them into relevant information, with meaning. The existence of a cognitive being, whatever this organism may be, that is capable of receiving any signals and transforming them into information with meaning , becomes necessary considering that mathematical and physical laws and principles are not eternal and that they are necessary for the formation of matter. Over time, a primary consciousness along the lines of human consciousness would be formed; -The emergence of, the existence in the universe of any more ordered object that distinguishes itself from the others in its surroundings, already constitutes conclusive proof of the presence of information and perhaps, in some cases, even of an incipient consciousness destined to evolve. In these terms, it seems that the existence of a Universal Primary Consciousness is inevitably necessary. -The admission that the operationalization for the materialization of atoms is similar to the operationalization for the materialization of proteins, leads the author to suggest similar mechanisms in the two systems considered. This implies the possible existence of non-biological DNA and genes, which would constitute a mechanism for the storage of information, and also the existence of a universal genome.

Authors: Zhang Yan , Xie Guangying 
Published: November 2024

In order to solve the problem of heavy-polluting enterprises lacking innovative investment funds in the process of green transformation, this article selects empirical data from Chinese A-share listed companies in Shanghai and Shenzhen from 2004 to 2020 and analyzes 2017 enterprises and 17700 samples. Selecting the year 2012 as the time point for the issuance of the "Green Credit Guidelines," using the DID double difference method, this study analyzes the impact path and mechanism of green credit policies on the green innovation performance of heavily polluting enterprises, providing policy recommendations for the green and sustainable development of heavily polluting enterprises, and also providing reference for the effective implementation of green credit policies by Chinese financial institutions and the improvement of the entire economic and social green finance system.
Effects of Global Supply Chain Pressure on Sentiment, Expectation, and Uncertainty: A VAR Approach
Authors: Romero-Ramírez Héctor 
Published: November 2024

This paper studies the relationship of global supply chain pressure with consumer sentiment, inflation expectation, and monetary policy uncertainty in the United States. A sample from January 1998 to January 2024 is used, and this paper uses a Vector Autoregression (VAR) approach based on the method proposed by Toda and Yamamoto (1995). The Granger causality test suggests that the predictions of inflation expectation based on its own past values and the past values of the global supply chain pressure are better predictions of inflation expectation than just using the past observations of inflation expectation. In contrast, Impulse Response Functions suggest that surprise increases in global supply chain pressure lead to increased inflation expectation and monetary policy uncertainty; this shock lasts up to two years. Meanwhile, the Impulse Response Functions suggest that surprise increases in the global supply chain pressure decrease consumer sentiment (confidence), lasting up to two and a half years. Afterward, the impact converges back to zero. Additionally, the Variance Decomposition results suggest that by the final period, the impulses of the global supply chain pressure explain over 22%, 7%, and 44% of the variation of consumer sentiment, monetary policy uncertainty, and inflation expectation, respectively.

Perception of the Urban Space of the Waorani Nationality in Shell Township, Pastaza, Ecuador
Authors: Quishpi Choto Franklin Roberto , Nel-Lo Andreu Marta Gemma , Barragán Ochoa Fernando 
Published: November 2024

The township of Shell in the Province of Pastaza, Ecuador was initially an exploration base and later, a missionary base for evangelization of the peoples and nationalities of the Amazon. It plays an important role in the Waorani nationality and its social, cultural and economic dynamics, especially in the Nuevo Amanecer neighborhood, which is home to approximately 43 Waorani families whose epicenter has become a strategic space for their territorial dynamics. The research, through ethnographic methodologies and field work, has allowed to establish the perception from the Waorani nationality to the urban space. During the development of this study two sources of information were applied: methodological bibliography and thematic content reference. The study of 120 members of 43 Waorani families of the Ecuadorian Amazon and a process of direct observation, as a participant observer during the years 2019-2020-2021-2022, resulted in a conceptual model Bailey (1996), where the Waorani use preferences of displacement, economic attributes of the area, location of residence, representation of the spatial-urban structure, space-action, time of stay, activity space and objective spatial structure of the urban environment; and a transect as a very effective method to recognize population movements, sectoral differences, topographic slopes and social dynamics presented in the territory from a plan and elevation view. Human beings adapt easily to new spaces, in spite of cultural and social differences, their assimilation processes will depend on their capacity to approach and accept the environment. The Nuevo Amanecer settlement has motivated families to move to peri-urban or urban spaces in intermediary cities, which has provoked a forced adaptation and assimilation due to the same processes involved in rural-urban relations.

Hippocrate initié
Authors: Bernard Léo 
Published: November 2024

Les courants ésotériques modernes constituent un pan de l’histoire intellectuelle et culturelle souvent oublié. Leur participation à cette histoire n’est pas seulement artistique ou politique, elle est également médicale. Elle se retrouve entre les deux guerres mondiales au sein du holisme médical ; un mouvement composé de nombreux médecins (naturistes, homéopathes, réflexothérapeutes ou encore néo-hippocratistes) accordant une grande importance au terrain psychique et physiologique ainsi qu’à l’environnement du patient-individu. La manière de concevoir la maladie, d’envisager le diagnostic et le traitement, s’est souvent trouvée influencée par les courants ésotériques, qu’il s’agisse des milieux du magnétisme, de la théosophie ou de l’occultisme. Des discours concernant la force vitale ou l’énergie universelle qui nous entoure ont suscité l’intérêt de praticiens diplômés désireux de faire renouer la médecine avec la sagesse des Anciens, en réponse à la scientifisation croissante de leur art. Astrologie, chirologie et physiognomonie ont été employées à des fins de diagnostic. Face à la « crise du monde moderne », la figure d’Hippocrate initié émerge pour orienter la médecine et la société. Loin d’être anecdotique, l’importance des relations entre courants ésotériques et holisme médical est révélatrice d’une période peu connue sous cet angle.

Published: November 2024

Cultivation of vegetables in polluted soil has been on the increase following the perceived fertility of such soil. This study investigated the growth performance and bioaccumulation of copper (Cu) in Amaranthus hybridus and Celosia argentea planted in Cu polluted soil. The research was conducted at the University of Ilorin botanical garden. Vegetable seedlings were transplanted into soil pots pre-treated with Cu - 100, 200 and 400 mg/kg; denoted as T1, T2 and T3 respectively, and a control pot without Cu treatment. Amaranthus hybridus grown in soil polluted with 200 mg/kg of Cu gave the highest stem length at 1, 2 and 3 weeks after transplanting (WAT) i.e., 3.98, 5.00 and 7.05 cm respectively. There was no significant difference in stem girth and leaf length and breadth of Celosia argentea grown in 200 mg/kg Cu (P<0.05). However, leaf length and breadth and number of leaves were significantly higher (P<0.05) in C. argentea grown in soil with same Cu concentration at 3 WAT i.e., 4.63 cm, 2.27 cm and 9.17 respectively. Bioaccumulation pattern recorded in A. hybridus indicated that those grown in soil polluted with 100 mg/kg of Cu have the highest elemental Cu accumulation (73.77 mg/kg). Amaranthus hybridus and Celosia argentea recorded highest wet and dry weights in those planted in soil polluted with 200 mg/kg of Cu.
A Bibliometric Analysis of the Errors and Mistakes in the Medical Laboratory
Authors: Mishra Archana , Beena K. V. 
Published: November 2024

Abstract

Background:
The increasing number/varieties of tests and rising demands are reasons for the increasing challenges to laboratory professionals, such as increasing workloads, maintaining turnaround time, and quality improvement. Furthermore, the laboratory faces many occupational hazards due to negligence or lack of knowledge regarding biosafety guidelines among the laboratory professionals. A laboratory involves mechanical, chemical, biological, and environmental components of activities, and errors/mistakes/ignorance in any of these disciplines create hazards and risks to people working inside the laboratory.

Objective:
We aimed to identify the types of errors, accidents, and ignorance in medical/clinical laboratories that have been published or presented worldwide.

Materials and Methods:
We performed a bibliometric analysis to search and analyze those studies which are published in different journals as articles or reviews, or published as books or chapters, and even, those presented as conference papers and short surveys.

Results:
The bibliometric analysis shows the pre-analytical phase as the most vulnerable to errors due to human errors and other activities outside the laboratory, which are beyond the control and preview of laboratories many times. A few studies suggest an increase in several tests and a lack of awareness among physicians while ordering the test as one of the reasons for the poor efficiency of laboratory services. Similarly, ignorance of the safety measures leads to occupational hazards among laboratory professionals.

Conclusion:
The study recommends focusing on the pre-analytical phase and providing awareness to clinicians about the tests conducted by the respective laboratories. This study also highlights that errors in the laboratory should be published for future records and learning.
Identification of β-globin gene mutations among transfusion-dependent β-thalassemia patients
Authors: Al-Fatlawi Haidar Hussein , Hameed Bassam Mahammad 
Published: November 2024

Abstract

BACKGROUND:
β-thalassemias are widely distributed in Mediterranean and Middle Eastern countries, including Iraq. There are more than 400 transfusion-dependent β-thalassemia patients registered in the thalassemia center. β-thalassemia is a significant problem in Karbala as well as other regions of Iraq. The detection of the most frequent mutations is significant to the implementation of an effective preventive program in this area because of the significant burden it places on the local health authorities, patients, and their families.

OBJECTIVES:
To define the most common mutations and their frequencies among patients with transfusion-dependent β-thalassemia and to evaluate the reverse hybridization strip assay method for the detection of β-thalassemia mutations.

PATIENTS, MATERIALS AND METHODS:
Sixty transfusion-dependent β-thalassemia patients were recruited from the thalassemia center in Karbala. Blood samples were aspirated from each patient just before blood transfusions for CBC, reticulocyte count, DNA extraction, PCR amplification, and identification of the mutations by reverse hybridization technique using the β-Globin strip assay method.

RESULTS:
A total of 60 patients with 120 chromosomes were studied, searching for the most common mutations causing β-thalassemia. Among the twelve identified mutations, the six most frequent mutations represented 79.16% of all β-globin defects. These mutations were IVSII-1 (30.83%), IVSI-110 (15.83%), Codon 5 (10.83%), Codon 44 (8.33%), IVSI-1 (6.67%), and IVSI-5 (6.67%). The detection rate of the method used in our population was 96.66%.

CONCLUSION:
The most frequent mutations encountered were IVSII.1 and IVSI-110, while IVS 2.745 was the least common mutant allele. Reverse hybridization strip assay molecular techniques used in the current study provide an extremely quick, precise, and simple to carry out molecular diagnostic technique for the detection of β-thalassemia mutations.
Comparing the Push–Pull Technique to Pressure Bag for Administration of Blood Products: A Prospective Nonblinded Observation Simulation-based Study (CoPP toP Study)
Authors: Grossberg Aaron Jacob , Fowl Daniel A. , Merritt Brian T. , Nackley George M. , Polit-Moran Jude A. , Savona Chelsea L. , Galwankar Sagar C. 
Published: November 2024

Introduction:
Shock is defined as inadequate delivery of oxygen to meet the tissue’s demands. There are four main types of shock: cardiogenic, obstructive, distributive, and hypovolemic. Hypovolemic shock causes include hemorrhage, dehydration, and burns. Blood loss results in inadequate oxygen delivery to the cells resulting in tissue death if not reversed. Rapid infusers allow for the rapid administration of blood and crystalloid products to patients in shock; however, many community emergency departments do not have these devices. The aim of our study is to determine the fastest way to administer blood when the viscosity of the fluid is taken into consideration in a simulated setting.

Methods:
Volunteers were assigned to one of two arms: either the push–pull technique or pressure bag technique. The push–pull technique involved using a 50 cc syringe connected to a 3-way stop-cock to withdraw and infuse the fluid. The pressure bag technique involved pumping a pressure bag up to the maximum to infuse the fluids. The speed of infusing 250 mL of intravenous fluids was recorded. The time for the subjects to collect the materials throughout the emergency department was also recorded.

Results:
A total of three trials were conducted. On average, the push–pull technique took 228 s and the pressure bag technique took 340 s. The push–pull technique took an average of 112 s less than the pressure bag technique. Subjects took 62 s to find the materials for the pressure bag technique. It took 133 s to find the material for the push–pull technique.

Conclusion:
This prospective nonblinded observation simulation-based study demonstrated that the push–pull technique was significantly faster than the pressure bag technique.
Take Two: Second Systolic Blood Pressure Provides Prognostic Information in Trauma
Authors: Kim Esther J. , Winston Marquis , Muller Alison L. , Martin Anthony P. , Butts Christopher A. , Reilly Eugene F. , Geng Thomas A. , Sigal Adam P. , Ong Adrian W. 
Published: November 2024

Abstract

Introduction:
An initial systolic blood pressure (SBP1) of <110 mmHg has been shown to predict mortality. However, SBP1 may not reflect hemodynamic changes during initial resuscitation. We aimed to determine if the second recorded blood pressure (SBP2) could provide additional prognostic value.

Methods:
An 8-year retrospective chart review was performed including patients who underwent trauma activations at a single institution. The initial systolic blood pressure (SBP 1) and second systolic blood pressure (SBP 2) were analyzed. Difference between the first and second systolic blood pressure (ΔSBP) was defined as SBP2 − SBP1. The primary outcome was inhospital mortality, and the secondary outcome was receipt of ≥2 units of blood in the first 4 h of admission. Univariable analysis and logistic regression analysis were performed to assess the relationship of SBP2 and ΔSBP with the study outcomes. Regression model fit was assessed by the likelihood ratio test and Akaike information criterion.

Results:
Eight thousand seven hundred and ninety-eight patients were included with 12% and 13% presenting with SBP1 <110 mmHg and SBP2 <110 mmHg, respectively. Four hundred and six (5%) died and 327 (4%) received ≥2 units of blood in the first 4 h. The addition of ΔSBP to regression models improved model fit in explaining the primary and secondary outcomes. Subgroup analysis found that the addition of ΔSBP improved model fit for those with penetrating mechanism of injury and those with Injury Severity Score of ≥9, but not for those with blunt moderate or severe traumatic brain injury.

Conclusion:
SBP2 offers additional prognostic value in predicting trauma outcomes. Incorporating subsequent hemodynamic data during resuscitation beyond the initial SBP in trauma databases should be considered.
Some Fock spaces with depth two action

Published: November 2024

Abstract
The subject of this article is operators represented on a Fock space which act only on the two leading components of the tensor. We unify the constructions from [Ans07, BL09, BL11, LS08] and extend a number of results from these articles to our more general setting. The results include the quadratic relation satisfied by the kernel of the free cumulant generating function, the resolvent form of the generating function for the Wick polynomials, and classification results for the case when the vacuum state on the operator algebra is tracial. We handle the generating functions in infinitely many variables by considering their matrix-valued versions.
