Abstract

Context
Autoimmune disease is common in women with primary ovarian insufficiency (POI), and the genetic etiology of autoimmune disease suggests that it could be hereditary in families of women with POI.

Objective
We hypothesized that a subset of women with POI and their family members would have an increased risk for autoimmune disorders.

Design
Population-based study using electronic health records from 1995 to 2022.

Setting
Two major Utah healthcare systems serving 85% of the state.

Subjects
Women with POI (n = 610) were identified using International Classification of Diseases (ICD) codes and charts were reviewed for accuracy. First-, second-, and third-degree relatives were identified using genealogy data in the Utah Population Database.

Intervention
Autoimmune diagnoses were identified using ICD codes.

Main Outcome Measures
The relative risk of autoimmune disease in women with POI and relatives was estimated by comparison to population rates.

Results
At least 1 autoimmune disease was identified in 25% of women with POI. The relative risk of autoimmune hypothyroidism (odds ratio [95% confidence interval] 6.88 [5.71, 8.22]; P &lt; .001), adrenal insufficiency (4.72 [1.73, 10.28]; P = .0020), type 1 diabetes (4.13 [2.14, 7.22]; P = 5.25X10−5), rheumatoid arthritis (5.66 [3.10, 9.50]; P = 3.70X10−7), vitiligo (15.33 [6.16, 31.58]; P = 5.25X10−7), celiac disease (7.58 [3.47, 14.39]; P = 4.47X10−6), psoriasis (3.90 [2.01, 6.81]; P = 9.04X10−5) and systemic lupus erythematosus (4.43 [1.63, 9.64]; P = .0027) were increased in women with POI compared to population rates. There was no increased risk of autoimmune disease in family members.

Conclusion
Data confirm increased autoimmune disease in women with POI. The increased risk is largely related to autoimmune polyglandular syndrome types 1 through 4 and autoimmune hypothyroidism. The absence of risk in family members may result from differences in environmental influences or hormone milieu.
I-limit points and I-cluster points of multiset sequences
Authors: Gümüş Hafize , Demir Nihal 
Published: November 2024

I-convergence is a type of convergence that generalizes many known types of convergences. In this study, I-convergence and I-boundedness of multiset sequences are defined and some examples are given. I-limit points, I-cluster points, Bmx and Amx sets and the concepts of I-limit infimum and I-limit supremum are defined for a multiset sequence. These definitions are supported by examples. It is shown that the set of I-cluster points of a multiset sequence covers the set of I-limit points and I-lim inf mx ≤ I-lim sup mx. Additionally, necessary and sufficient conditions for I-lim inf mx = I-lim sup mx are proved.
Changes in biochemical indicators of blood of rats of different sex in posttraumatic stress disorders

Published: November 2024

Introduction. The war in Ukraine, the difficult ecological situation, socio-economic hardships, the acceleration of the rhythm of life and the increase in information load contribute to the emergence and development of constant tension in the body of modern man, the manifestation of which is the stress reaction. This provokes exhaustion and disruption of the adaptive capabilities of the body and the development of diseases. One of the types of such pathology is post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The relevance of this problem currently determines the need for in-depth study of individual links of their pathogenesis.
The purpose of the study is to determine the effect of PTSD on biochemical blood indexes of different sexes rats.
Materials and methods. The experiment was performed on 40 different sexes Wistar rats, weighing 180-200 g, aged 4 months. They were kept on a standard vivarium diet with free access to drinking water throughout the entire experimental period. The rats were divided into 4 groups, according to sex: males and females in equal numbers – control males (I), control females (II), post-traumatic stress disorder, males (III), post-traumatic stress disorder, females (IV). Modeling of PTSD was carried out by 4 stressors using one by one twice. This preclinical model reflects molecular and physiological changes that repeat the same changes observed in post-traumatic stress disorder in humans. Biochemical methods of the study included determination in blood serum of the concentration of diene conjugates (DC), superoxide dismutase activity (SOD).
Research results and their discussion. When analyzing lipid peroxidation indicators in animals of group III, compared to animals of the control group (I), was detected an increase in DC by 49.5% (p<0.001) while in animals of group IV, compared to animals of the control group (II), was detected an increase in DC by 1.9 times (p<0.001). When comparing the impact of PTSD on LPO processes, it was found that in group IV animals, compared to group III, DCs were 1.1 times higher (p<0.001).
As for the antioxidant system, in the blood serum of rats of group III, compared to animals of I group, a decrease in SOD by 23.50% (p<0.001) was detected, and in animals of IV group, compared to animals of the control group, was detected a decrease in SOD by 10% (p<0.001). When comparing the degree of influence of PTSD on the enzymatic system of antioxidant defense in rats, it was found that in group III animals, compared to group IV, SOD was lower by 38.3% (p<0.001).
Conclusion. Posttraumatic stress disorder causes activation of lipid peroxidation in the body of rats, but its magnitude depends on gender and is more pronounced in females. In response to the activation of free radical oxidation processes, the activity of the antioxidant system is suppressed, which is more pronounced in males.
Comparative semiotics of womanhood: portrayal of Chinese and Pakistani women in contemporary paintings
Authors: Riaz Mehvish 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
Images have the potential to both alienate and unite. Due to their ideological power, images can both create and clear misconceptions. To analyze the semiotic variation in the portrayal of women in contemporary art in relation to feminine identities and ideological representations, the study analyzes the choice of ideational signs in the contemporary Chinese and Pakistani paintings on the basis of the social semiotic approach of the grammar of visual design suggested by Kress and van Leeuwen. Considering diversity of themes and portrayal of women, 30 Pakistani and 30 Chinese paintings, painted by 17 Chinese and 17 Pakistani male and female painters were selected through an information-rich sampling technique. Results suggest that loneliness, waiting, leisure, and love for nature are the common themes related to Chinese and Pakistani women which the painters have creatively modeled. The images vary in the sense that Chinese women have been represented in constructive gender roles, such as working women, ballerinas, sports women, and hardworking farmers, etc., while Pakistani women have been represented in terms of resistance, oppression, victimhood, religiosity, and protection. The study has implications for gender studies, multimodal representations, and the way we comprehend, describe, and construct the interconnected yet fragmented fabric of our world.

Kritische Rohstoffabhängigkeiten und Lieferketten-Resilienz – ein Fall für die geheimen Nachrichtendienste?
Authors: Kullik Jakob , Hoffmann Sophia 
Published: November 2024

Kurzfassung
Die Autoren gehen der Frage nach, ob die zunehmende Bedeutung sogenannter kritischer mineralischer und metallischer Rohstoffe die Beobachtung der entsprechenden Lieferketten durch geheime staatliche Nachrichtendienste erforderlich macht. Systemrelevante Rohstoffe wie etwa Erdöl waren nie nur wirtschaftlich bedeutsam, sondern wurden von Staaten stets auch unter versorgungsstrategischen und sicherheitspolitischen Aspekten mithilfe von Auslandsnachrichtendiensten analysiert. Derzeit stehen kritische Elemente wie Seltene Erden oder Lithium im Fokus des öffentlichen Interesses. In diesem Zusammenhang befasst sich dieser Aufsatz mit zwei zentralen Fragen: (1) Können geheime Nachrichtendienste einen substanziellen Mehrwert bei der Analyse von Rohstoffmärkten für den Staat und gegebenenfalls die Industrie leisten? Und (2) welche Risiken und Potenziale sind mit dem Einsatz geheimer Nachrichtendienste in diesem Bereich verbunden? Die Verfasser verstehen ihren Beitrag als Debattenanstoß und sind sich bewusst, dass die Empirie im Bereich Nachrichtendienstforschung nicht systematisch erhebbar ist. Möglicherweise sind die hier behandelten Fragestellungen im nachrichtendienstlichen Tagesgeschäft schon diskutiert und teils bereits implementiert worden.

Authors: Peng Ting , Peng Changxin , Liu Yibo , Yang Hao 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
Experimental studies were performed to explore the ignition performance of rotating gliding arc. Dual-axial swirler and beveled holes combined radial vanes swirler were used to produce rotating gliding arc. The ignition test with dual-axial swirler at normal temperature and pressure showed that the ignition fuel to air ratio (FAR) was reduced by more than 30 % compared with conventional ignition method. The ignition performance of four kinds of beveled holes combined radial vanes swirlers was compared. The ignition tests were also performed at the ground low temperature and high altitude conditions. The results showed that the ignition FAR was reduced by more than 20 % at ground low temperature and 3.0 km altitude and was higher at 4.5 km and 5.5 km altitude compared with the conventional ignition method. The result indicated that the low pressure had a more obvious influence on the discharge and ignition performance compared with the low temperature condition.

Technologies of Renunciation
Authors: Buckley Liam M 
Published: November 2024

In the 1940s, photography at Sivananda Ashram had a multifaceted presence—it contributed to ritual practice, deepened the connection between the ashram community and householder visitors, and provided a rich metaphor for yogic life. This photography was distinguished by the fact that the images were produced by monks as part of their daily life, and the techniques of photographic production themselves became part of yogic practice. As a devotional practice at Sivananda Ashram, photography initiated a period of extended and provocative reflection on the question of how media technology, largely associated with worldliness, could support a yogic path of renunciation and self-realization.

Wastewater samples from To Lich River contaminated with organophosphate flame retardant (OPFRs) were collected and enriched in a medium supplemented with OPFR compounds. As a result, 10 bacterial strains were isolated and identified based on 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis. These bacterial strains belong to the genera Achromobacter, Pseudomonas, Bordetella, and Rhizobium. All 10 bacterial strains exhibited the ability to degrade some OPFR compounds, but only two strains, Achromobacter sp. BWTL6 and Rhizobium sp. BWTL7, effectively degraded all 5 tested OPFR compounds. These two bacterial strains demonstrated the capability to degrade more than 70% of tris(1,3-dichloro-2-propyl)phosphate (TDCPP) (at 10 mg/L concentration) within 7 days. Furthermore, both Achromobacter sp. BWTL6 and Rhizobium sp. BWTL7 were able to utilize tris(2-chloroethyl) phosphate (TCEP), triethyl phosphate (TEP), tris(2-butoxyethyl) phosphate (TBEP), and trimethyl phosphate (TMP) for growth, exhibiting clear cell proliferation and OPFR removal rates ranging from 40 to 58%. In addition, bacterial strain Bordetella sp. BWTL3 degraded 61.5% of TDCPP and 97.7% of TBEP after 7 days of culture. In this study, all three bacterial strains belonging to the Achromobacter, Rhizobium and Bordetella are potential candidates for remediation of environments contaminated with OPFRs.

Published: November 2024

OBJECTIVE: To determine whether simulation-based education promotes anti-racism learning among nursing students. METHODS: This descriptive qualitative study explored how simulation-based education could support anti-racism education in undergraduate nursing curricula. The study consisted of three parts: (a) journal entries, (b) anti-racism workshops and (c) simulation-based education. The three anti-racism workshops were part of the simulation pre-work to prepare students to actively participate in four simulated participant anti-racism scenarios. Content analysis of journal entries using the Sensitizing, Taking Action, and Reflection (STAR) framework suggests that the anti-racism workshops raised awareness of self and others, as well as racism and anti-racism strategies among the participants. Fourteen participants were recruited. Ten provided consent and participated in at least one component of the study, six participated in the simulations, and five completed all 8 journal entries. RESULTS: Our findings indicated the participants engaged in a continuous cycle of sensitization and reflection, which broadened their awareness in four categories: self, others, racism, and anti-racism strategies. As a result, the anti-racism workshops increased awareness of racism among participants. In addition, both were willing and able to address racism and advocate for political change during the simulations. The student participants found the simulated scenarios gave them a greater sense of authenticity when confronting racism. CONCLUSIONS: Anti-racism workshops and SBE are effective ways to support anti-racism learning in undergraduate nursing students. We recommend academic institutions explore ways to integrate antiracism SBE into curricula to support antiracism praxis.
The Shadow of Horror: A Semiotic Analysis of Cinematic Transitions in Ivanna (2022)
Authors: Abigail Michelle Devina , Intyaswati Drina , Dharma Nindya Soraya 
Published: November 2024

This research examines the representation of scenes in the movie Ivanna (2022) using the shadow technique through a qualitative approach and Charles Sanders Peirce's semiotic theory. Ivanna is a horror film that tells the story of the spirit of Ivanna, a Dutch woman who was beheaded by Japanese soldiers during their colonization of Indonesia. The depiction of the sadism of the massacre that befell Ivanna, combined with the time-setting connectivity through the shadow technique, makes the study of how this technique produces a smooth transition between two realities with different time settings a unique and interesting subject. This study, which employs the shadow technique, complements film representation studies, an area that has not been extensively explored. Peirce's semiotics involve categories in the meaning process, commonly referred to as the meaning triangle, which includes the sign, the sign reference, and the sign use. The results show that cinematography effectively presents a visual representation of the narrative, particularly in the horror genre, where light plays a key role in creating tension. In conclusion, Ivanna successfully combines both elements to convey messages and enhance the audience's experience.

Published: November 2024

Background: Alluvial soil has poor chemical properties for the growth of large chili plants, due to high soil acidity, low organic matter and nutrient content and poor soil structure, which will directly cause the growth and production of large chilies to be suboptimal. Efforts that can be made to increase plant growth are by using a combination of biochar tankos and chicken manure biochar (Biochike+). This study aims to determine the effect of Biochike+ fertilizer on the absorption of N, P, K nutrients, growth and yield of large chili plants in alluvial soil and to determine the financial aspects of Biochike+ fertilizer production. Methods: Cultivation using polybags. The research design used a completely randomized design (CRD) consisting of a combination of biochar doses B0= Control, B1= 10 t.ha-1, B2= 20 t.ha-1, B3= 30 t.ha-1 and B4= 40 t.ha-1 and analysis of the costs and benefits of Biochike+fertilizer. The treatment was repeated 5 times so that there were 25 polybags. Result: The administration of Biochike+had a significant effect on all parameters. In the B4 treatment, the production of large chilies reached 300%, N uptake was 352%, P uptake was 200% and K uptake was 120% compared to the control. Financial analysis shows that large chili production using Biochike+ fertilizer is profitable, which is IDR 62,649,420.3 per harvest.
