Marine plastic litter vs clean and living water
Marine plastic pollution is a global crisis with increasing impacts on the environment, marine life, and human health. Multinational and national organisations are working to develop solutions that are accepted by all stakeholders connected to the marine environment and fishing industry. Marine plastic litter is harming marine ecosystems through ingestion, entanglement, and the possible release of toxic chemicals. A study from the North Sea showed that 93% of fulmar birds analysed had ingested plastic, with approximately 60% exceeding the 0.1 g level of plastic ingestion.

Modeling cigarette smoking exposure in subsets of the population
Understanding and acknowledging various factors that impact cigarette smoking and exposure is critical when creating public health interventions to curb tobacco use. Here, Theodore R. Holford from Yale University discusses the impact of different approaches to tobacco control. The harmful effects of cigarette smoking have been widely recognized for more than 50 years (1), and the huge toll that it has taken in shortening lives has led to the recognition of an urgent need to reduce associated exposure. Because cigarette smoking is an addictive behavior, it has been a public health challenge to reduce the level of exposure in the population, even though alternative approaches have been used. These approaches include the introduction of taxes that increase cost to users, changing the legal age at which cigarettes can be purchased, introducing clean air laws that limit locations where individuals are allowed to smoke, and establishing resources that will assist those who wish to quit smoking. These efforts can be undertaken on a national level, but more often, such efforts are implemented at different times and in different ways in different regions. In the US, these laws are more commonly introduced by a state, county, or city. (2) This introduces geographic disparities in cigarette smoking exposure, and it is important to understand these differences when planning approaches to protect public health.

Mobilizing pain care knowledge in Canada
Norm Buckley and Jason Busse from the Michael G. DeGroote Institute for Pain Research & Care discuss the mobilization of knowledge about the pain environment in Canada, focusing on the role of an ad hoc community-based organization. Approximately every quarter, we bring together a wide variety of individuals involved in aspects of pain care, research, education, healthcare delivery, policymaking, and healthcare regulation. An ad hoc group comprised of individuals who see the understanding of pain as important to their work, the CPCF has had a significant impact on the course of pain policy in Canada. It demonstrates the value that can be created by even a small financial and administrative investment in pain-related knowledge mobilization.

Can Europe recover its photovoltaic manufacturing capacity?
Antonio Urbina, from the Department of Sciences and Institute for Advanced Materials and Mathematics (INAMAT2), Universidad Pública de Navarra (UPNA), based at Pamplona in Spain, investigates whether Europe can recover its capacity for photovoltaic manufacturing. The energy transition is contributing worldwide to reducing greenhouse gas emissions, the leading cause of climate change. This has been achieved, despite a continually increasing energy demand in all economic sectors, by an impressive growth of installed renewable capacity, the rapid electrification of some sectors (home heating, transport) and more efficient energy use.
Human history: A socio-cultural examination of handshaking

Human history: A socio-cultural examination of handshaking
Penelope J. Corfield, from Royal Holloway, University of London, offers an intriguing exploration of the social and cultural significance of handshaking throughout human history. All aspects of human life have a history. Really? All of them? Yes, really. All humans live in history and make history as they do so. Yet it’s also true that not all aspects of human history are equally easy to study. Governments, taxes and warfare between them have a significant impact – and leave many records. So they tend to be well-studied. By contrast, other aspects of human life flourish ‘under the radar’. Yet readers today who are interested in (say) the history of silence, can find an excellent book on that theme – while another fine study explains the evolutionary role of humanity’s ‘curious behaviour’, such as yawning, laughing and hiccupping.
A novel avenue to explore in the treatment of dementia

A novel avenue to explore in the treatment of dementia
A collaborative project between the University of South Florida and The Healthy Aging Company is exploring how a new biological entity called ALF5755 could be a candidate drug for the treatment of dementia and Alzheimer’s disease. Aging is the major common risk factor for death from all adult diseases. Death rates increase logarithmically with advancing age for all diseases associated with aging, including heart disease, cancer, stroke, type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), and Alzheimer’s disease. In this context, Alzheimer’s disease has emerged as a major health concern. Despite some improvement in the therapy, the overall prognosis of AD is still poor. With the current lack of treatments, any type of symptom alleviation will have a beneficial impact on the lives of patients and their caregivers.

Published: October 2024

The taxonomy of king cobras (Ophiophagus) was reevaluated using qualitative, mensural and meristic characters, based on 148 entire and five skeletal specimens, and supported by a recent molecular phylogenetic analysis. We provide nomenclatural synopses of both the genus and species-series nomina. We restrict the concept of Ophiophagus hannah s. str. to populations from eastern Pakistan, northern and eastern India, the Andaman Islands, Indo-Burma and Indo-China, south to central Thailand. The nomen Ophiophagus bungarus (Schlegel, 1837) comb. nov. is revived for the populations inhabiting the Sunda Shelf area, including the Malay Peninsula, the Greater Sunda Islands and parts of the southern Philippines. We describe two new species, Ophiophagus kaalinga Gowri Shankar, Das &#38; Ganesh sp. nov. endemic to the Western Ghats of south-western India and Ophiophagus salvatana Gowri Shankar, Das &#38; Wüster sp. nov., inhabiting the island of Luzon in northern Philippines. For the purpose of nomenclatural stability, we designate a neotype for Hamadryas hannah Cantor, 1836. A dichotomous identification key to the four species recognized here is provided.
Volkswagen Dizel Araçlarda Emisyon Vakası ve Yeşil Aklama
Authors: Keskin Meltem 
Published: October 2024

Volkswagen (VW) emisyon skandalı, 18 Eylül 2015 tarihinde ortaya çıkmıştır. Dünya genelinde VW, dizel arabalarda test sırasında emisyon değerlerini azaltabilmek amacı ile dizel motorlarında “sahte yazılım” yerleştirerek çevre kirliliği, kamu sağlığı ve hukuku yok saymıştır. Bu manipülasyonun ilk olarak Amerika Birleşik Devletleri’nde ortaya çıkması ile birlikte VW şirketinin hisse senedi fiyatları 2 hafta içinde %35 oranında düşmüştür. Bu ani değer kayıplarının yanı sıra Almanya'da VW aleyhine büyük maddi ölçekli tazminat davaları açılmıştır. Ayrıca dünya çapında VW dizel araç sahipleri de, haklarının korunması konusunda davalar açmışlardır. VW’nin tüm bu olumsuzluklardan kurtulup yeniden itibarını sağlayıp sağlayamayacağı tartışılırken, 2017 yılında şirket krizi iyi yöneterek tekrar dünyanın büyük otomobil üreticileri arasında yer almayı başarmıştır. Umulmadık bu artış, kimileri için skandalın sona erdiğinin kanıtı sayılmasına rağmen, göstergeler VW’nin bu olaydan henüz tam olarak aklanmadığına ve skandal kaynaklı bazı sorunların varlığına işaret etmektedir. Bu çalışmada, VW emisyon skandalı ile ortaya çıkan kriz süresince yayınlanan belgeler incelenmiş olup VW şirketinin/yatırımcıların olaydan nasıl etkilendikleri ve bu krizden çıkarılacak sonuçlar değerlendirilmiştir.
Barings Bankası

Bu çalışma Barings Bank’ın iflasına yol açan olayları, hatalı kararları ve eksiklerini analiz ederek bankacılık denetleme sistemlerinde yapılan düzenlemeleri nasıl şekillendirdiğini ortaya koymayı amaçlamaktadır. Barings Bank, 1890 ve 1995 krizleri ile bankacılık tarihindeki yerini almıştır. 1890 krizinde Barings Bank, Londra'da likidite sorunları yaşamıştır. Bunun temel sebebi de Arjantin'e yaptığı yoğun yatırımlardır. Bu krizin Londra’daki finans kurumlarını etkilemesinden korkulduğu için Barings Bank’ın likidite açığının kapatılması gerekiyordu. Bu açığın kapanması için Barings Bank, Amerikan Menkul Kıymetler Borsası’nda sahip olduğu tahvilleri satmaya zorlandı. Bu satışlar fiyatların düşmesine ve ardından bankaların iflasına yol açan küresel bir domino etkisi oluşturmuştur. Bu krizden 105 yıl sonra Barings Bank, 1995 krizinde bankanın iflasına yol açacak bir krize daha yol açmıştır. Bu krizde türev araçlara olan yatırımların denetlenmemesi, hatalı kararlar alınması ve muhasebe manipülasyonları krizin tetikleyicileri olarak sayılabilir. Bu kriz her ne kadar Avrupa bankalarını etkilemese de Japon borsasını etkilemiştir. 1995 krizi 1980 krizi gibi bir domino etkisi oluşturmamıştır. Her iki bankacılık krizi de yeni düzenleme ve denetim standartları geliştirilmesinde etkili olmuştur.

Published: October 2024

Background Economic outcomes are of paramount importance in the American healthcare market as healthcare costs continue to rise. The Centers of Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) introduced the relative value unit (RVU) in 1992 to operationalize economic outcomes of healthcare interactions and procedures available to patients. The purpose of this study is to compare the RVU and dollar compensations, operative times, and compensation rates of unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) vs total knee arthroplasty (TKA) in the context of procedural and perioperative care requirements. Methods The National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database was used to query all UKAs and TKAs (current procedural terminology codes 27446 and 27447, respectively) performed between January 1, 2015 and December 31, 2017. 162,239 cases were analyzed: 157,107 TKAs and 5,132 UKAs. For all economic and medical variables, unpaired t-test and Pearson’s chi-squared test were used to compare continuous and categorical data, respectively. Results RVUs for UKAs and TKAs were 17.48 and 20.72, respectively. The mean operative time for UKAs was 83.80 ± 30.13 minutes and 89.43 ± 31.88 minutes for TKAs (p < 0.001). The mean RVU/min for UKAs and TKAs were 0.23 ± 0.08 and 0.26 ± 0.09, respectively (p < 0.001). Dollar reimbursements for UKA vs TKA were as follows: per minute ($8.46 vs $9.36) and per case ($630.85 vs $747.78). TKAs were associated with longer hospital length of stay (2.52 ± 3.20 vs. 1.43 ± 2.72 days; p < 0.001), quicker onset of deep wound infection (18.46 ± 7.24 vs. 21.43 ± 5.19 days; p < 0.001), and higher rates of 30-day unplanned hospital readmission (3.07% vs. 1.87%; p < 0.001). Conclusion The study found the contemporary RVU reimbursement model adequately accounts for increased operative time and perioperative care demands associated with TKA compared to UKA, as RVU and dollar compensation rates per case and per minute were significantly greater for TKAs.

Published: October 2024

The advancement in digital world have led to the development of smart vehicles that connect to the Internet of Vehicles (IoV) Infrastructure. These smart vehicle also connects and communicate with other vehicles, and their connected components. Once connected, they can share information such as speed, direction, and distance between vehicles.IoV enhances traffic infrastructure by reducing congestion and incidents, ultimately improving road safety within highways and metropolitan cities. However, when smart vehicles use IoV to share data through vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V), Vehicle to Infrastructure (V2I), and Vehicle to everything (V2X) they also introduce security risks and vulnerabilities to the IoV Infrastructure. Malicious actors can exploit these vulnerabilities to alter data within the connected units of IoV infrastructure, such as electronic control units, onboard units, control networks, and sensors. Securing data within the IoV ecosystem is crucial to prevent malicious activity that could compromise confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
In this study, a security risk assessment framework for IoV (SRAF-IoV) has been developed to identify vulnerabilities within the IoV network. SRAF-IoV that assesses security risks in connected vehicles. It evaluates vulnerabilities and assigns a risk level based on different communication channels (V2V, V2I, and V2X). The proposed framework was tested against various cyber-attacks to determine risk levels associated with different attack types (low, medium, high, and critical). The performance of SRAF-IoV was then compared to existing frameworks. By comprehensively identifying potential risks, SRAF-IoV was then compared to existing frameworks. By comprehensively identifying potential risks, SRAF-IoV can push the smart vehicle industry to make critical security decisions during the development of smart vehicles.

Authors: Nievez Luciano David , Alcat Nahuel , Cioffi Antonela 
Published: October 2024

Introducción: Las amiloidosis son un grupo de enfermedades que se manifiestan como consecuencia del plegamiento incorrecto y la agregación localizada o sistémica de proteínas autólogas que se depositan en los tejidos en forma de fibrillas amiloides. La amiloidosis primaria o de cadenas livianas libres (AL) es la forma más común de amiloidosis sistémica, con una incidencia anual de 0,9 nuevos casos por 100000 habitantes. Materiales y métodos: Se presenta un caso clínico de un paciente diagnosticado con AL asociada a IgM Lambda durante su estadía en el Hospital Interzonal General de Agudos Evita de Lanús. Resultados: Paciente de sexo masculino de 47 años de edad con diagnóstico primario de insuficiencia cardíaca. Durante la internación, se observó la presencia de un depósito de material eosinófilo amorfo rojo congo positivo, en el fragmento de tejido fibroconectivo remitido a anatomía patológica, por lo cual se confirmó el diagnóstico de amiloidosis con compromiso renal y cardiológico. No se obtuvieron resultados concluyentes en el análisis del proteinograma electroforético en suero y la cuantificación de las cadenas livianas libres. Luego, se obtuvo mediante el estudio de inmunofijación en suero, la presencia de un componente monoclonal de isotipo IgM Lambda, permitiendo el diagnóstico diferencial de AL. Conclusión: En este paciente el uso del algoritmo: proteinograma electroforética en suero + inmunofijación en suero + cadenas Livianas Libres en suero permitió arribar a un correcto resultado.

Creación, significado y usos del concepto autoritarismo burocrático. Notas para pensar innovaciones teóricas pasadas y presentes
Authors: Lesgart Cecilia 
Published: October 2024

El concepto autoritarismo ha regresado a los debates académicos en un tiempo de corrosión de la democracia representativa y del orden internacional liberal. Su retorno se produce después de décadas de haber sido desplazado por el concepto de democracia, usado teóricamente como su opuesto contrastante y como condensador de las aspiraciones proscriptas por las dictaduras cívico-militares. Al mismo tiempo, los conceptos que permitían nombrar el mundo político se encuentran en crisis, y el de autoritarismo ha transformado sus usos y significados con respecto al pasado reciente. El objetivo de este escrito es reconstruir la historia de un concepto particular, el de autoritarismo burocrático, creado por Guillermo O`Donnell para analizar la construcción de un tipo de Estado y de régimen político que emergió con el golpe de estado de 1966 en Argentina. Su reconstrucción contribuirá a mostrar la historia de un concepto nacido dentro de la Ciencia Política con intenciones analíticas que renovó la manera de abordar las formas políticas devenidas de golpes cívico-militares. Asimismo, dejará un terreno preparado para compararlo con el modo amplio con el que actualmente se usa el término al interior de la disciplina, no ligado a los golpes de estado y utilizado para describir estilos de gobierno. Palabras clave: Autoritarismo, autoritarismo burocrático, régimen político, estilos de gobierno Creation, meaning and uses of bureaucratic authoritarianism. Notes for thinking about past and present innovationsAbstractThe concept of authoritarianism has returned to academic debates at a time of corrosion of representative democracy and the liberal international order. Its return comes after decades of being displaced by the concept of liberal and representative democracy, used theoretically as a contrasting opposite and as a condenser of the aspirations proscribed by civil-military dictatorships. At the same time, the concepts that made it possible to name the political arena are in crisis, and the concept of authoritarianism has disassembled the uses and meanings with respect to the recent past. The aim of this paper is to reconstruct the history of a particular concept, that of Bureaucratic-Authoritarianism, created by Guillermo O`Donnell to analyze the construction of a type of state and a political regimen that emerged with the 1966 coup d’état in Argentina. Its reconstruction will also leave a ground for comparison with the broad way in which the term is currently used within the discipline, not linked to coups d`etat, and used to describe leadership styles of government.
