Non-binary patients in ART: new challenges and considerations
Authors: Ljubić Aleksandar , Stanojević Milan , Chervenak Frank A. , Kurjak Asim 
Published: August 2024

Abstract

Objectives
To discuss the increasing visibility of non-binary individuals and inclusive policies and practices in assisted reproductive technologies (ART).

Methods
Comparison between traditional ART approach designed for binary genders and propose approach in non-binary individuals.

Results
Traditional ART services, designed for binary genders, must adapt to address the unique fertility needs of non-binary patients. This includes using gender-neutral language, providing comprehensive fertility assessments, and offering hormone therapy and fertility preservation options. Children of non-binary parents benefit from open communication about gender diversity, enhancing psychological well-being. Positive societal attitudes and inclusive environments in schools are crucial for preventing discrimination and promoting mental health. A systemic approach is required to make ART inclusive. This involves training staff, adjusting facilities, updating documentation, and advocating for supportive legislation. Addressing the reproductive needs of non-binary individuals ensures equitable access to care and supports their family-building goals.

Conclusions
Ensuring the well-being of children in non-binary families requires psychological support, inclusive healthcare, legal recognition, social support, and comprehensive education.
Deaf migrants in Sweden: exploring linguistic and bureaucratic challenges through the lens of Crip Theory and Crip Linguistics
Authors: Duggan Nora , Holmström Ingela 
Published: August 2024

Abstract
Disabled people encounter numerous barriers to accessibility and face discrimination and inequalities in their daily lives. The situation is even more complex for migrants with a disability, who have to learn how to navigate a new bureaucratic system. This study focuses on deaf adult migrants and the linguistic and bureaucratic challenges they face in Swedish society. The data consists of interviews with 43 deaf migrants participating in language learning courses in four folk high schools catering to deaf people in Sweden. Crip Theory and Crip Linguistics are used as lenses to explore the impact of able-bodiedness and linguistic norms on this particular group. The findings show that deaf migrants experience infantilisation, that sign language interpreters are often seen as a one-size-fits-all solution without much consideration for other factors influencing communication, and that normative able-bodiedness underlies many of the bureaucratic issues deaf migrants face.

Fe2O4 (where x = 0, 0.05, 0.10, 0.15) nano ferrite powder was synthesized through chemical co-precipitation method, NaOH and acid oleic as raw materials. The XRD patterns confirmed the spinal structure phase purity of materials. XRD results showed that lattice parameter decreases with the increase of copper concentration by increasing copper concentration in the parent material. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was used to determine the morphology and particle size. SEM analysis indicated that all the samples are in nano size and homogeneous. AC electrical properties of nanoparticles were investigated by employing impedance spectroscopy. The real and the imaginary parts of impedance, permittivity, modulus along with the real part of ac conductivity, and tan delta were measured and analyzed for all synthesized samples in 1 Hz to 7 MHz for different voltages at 300 K.

Abstract
A systematic survey of Dehesilla Cave was carried out during 2017 in order to search for traces of rock art. Several panels with paintings were identified in the chamber next to the entrance (consisting of strokes, dots, stains, and remnants of shapes in red and black), which had remained unnoticed up until now and may provide relevant information towards the understanding of the prehistoric use of the cave and its seemingly symbolic topography. However, we cannot assume a priori a relationship between these paintings and the well-known Neolithic sequence of the site. To assess these paintings, we have analysed photomicrographs which have allowed us to determine their detailed characteristics, stroke morphology, and remnant features (for instance, hue, shape, density of paint, pigment grain size, micro-stroke traces left by the tools used). Taphonomic issues have also been considered and several physical and chemical techniques of analysis have been applied in order to identify the pigments and possible binders.
“A linguagem serve para viver”: contribuição de Benveniste para análises no campo aplicado
Authors: Teixeira Marlene 
Published: August 2024

Neste texto, analisam-se trocas verbais entre cliente e agente em um call center receptivo. Toma-se por base o que Benveniste chama de “quadro figurativo” da enunciação para examinar a natureza da comunicação que se estabelece toda vez que, nessa situação específica de enunciação, os interlocutores (teleoperador e cliente) assumem a língua. O corpus é constituído por cinco ligações realizadas por um mesmo cliente, mas atendidas por cinco diferentes agentes. Desse corpus, foram destacadas para análise cinco excertos, um de cada atendimento, totalizando 26 sequências, selecionadas por serem ilustrativas da natureza da interlocução entre cliente e agente nessa situação enunciativa. Os resultados da análise revelam que o padrão de atendimento, previamente estabelecido em call centers, ignora a singularidade dos interlocutores, por não levar em conta o caráter de troca necessário à conversa, comprometendo o quadro figurativo da enunciação e levando ao fracasso da interação.
Por um enfoque pós-social fundamentado na Teoria Ator-Rede para os novos letramentos e para a inclusão digital
Authors: El Khouri Buzato Marcelo 
Published: August 2024

O estudo discute as relações entre sujeito, linguagem, tecnologia e participação social com base em resultados de um projeto de pesquisa, concluído recentemente, em que foram investigados os letramentos digitais e não digitais de jovens universitários, de classe, gênero e etnicidade distintas. A partir da fundamentaçãoteórica fornecida pela Teoria Ator-Rede, cada um dos sujeitos estudados foi tomado, simultaneamente, como ator focal de uma translação local, correspondente à sua subjetividade, e como ator periférico alistado em translações globais correspondentes a diferentes letramentos de que participavam. Apresento uma vinheta baseada em um dos casos incluídos na pesquisa e, a partir desses resultados, busco propor um enfoque alternativo, de cunho pós-social, às noções de participação, emancipação e inclusão digital como subsídio para o planejamento e avaliação de iniciativas educacionais apoiadas por tecnologias digitais da informação e comunicação e projetos de inclusão digital.
KUZBASS ECONOMY: RESILIENCE FORECAST AMID THE SYSTEMIC CHALLENGES

Published: August 2024

Существующая открытая экспортно ориентированная экономическая модель Кемеровской области - Кузбасса сформировалась к началу 2000-х годов и на протяжении последних 20 лет обеспечивала крупнейшему в России углепромышленному региону относительную устойчивость развития. Сегодня в условиях глобального энергоперехода и смены геополитической парадигмы регион оказался в зоне турбулентности и вынужден искать пути адаптации к новой реальности. Авторы статьи разработали три сценария развития Кузбасса в перспективе до 2035 г. Все они базируются на предположении, что угольная отрасль по-прежнему будет обладать исключительным по силе воздействия влиянием на регион. Проведенный анализ вкупе с авторской количественной оценкой сценариев в контексте экономической устойчивости Кузбасса в период 2000-2035 гг. позволил сделать вывод: наиболее предпочтительным является вариант полиотраслевого развития экономики в системе межрегиональной кооперации. Такой сценарий хотя и предусматривает относительно невысокие темпы роста, но создает предпосылки для минимизации стратегических вызовов и нахождения Кузбасса на долгосрочной траектории устойчивого развития. Полученные в ходе исследования результаты могут быть использованы при формировании структурной политики региона.
The existing open export-oriented economic model of Kemerovo Oblast-Kuzbass had taken shape by the early 2000s, providing relative resilience to this territory, the largest coal producer in Russia, over the past two decades. However, with an ongoing global energy transition and shifting geopolitical paradigm, the region now finds itself in turmoil and must adapt to new realities. To address this, we have developed three development scenarios for Kuzbass until 2035, all assuming the continued exceptional leverage of the coal sector in the region. Through analysis and scenario quantification against Kuzbass’s economic resilience from 2000 to 2035, we can conclude that a multisector economic model, integrated within an interregional cooperation framework, appears most favorable. Despite projecting modest growth rates, this scenario offers an opportunity for Kuzbass to mitigate strategic challenges and pursue sustainable long-term development. These results obtained can inform the region’s structural policy.

Published: August 2024

Niniejsza monografia jest efektem pracy zespołu badawczego Katedry Geografii Regionalnej i Społecznej Uniwersytetu Łódzkiego w ramach projektu finansowanego przez Narodowe Centrum Nauki. Treści zawarte w książce są odpowiedzią na nowe wyzwania badawcze geografii człowieka, coraz częściej poruszające problemy identyfikacji i interpretacji przemian osadniczych w skali lokalnej. W tym przypadku studia dotyczą 21 wsi wybranych nieprzypadkowo, bo reprezentujących typowe dla różnych okresów historycznych założenia ruralistyczne. Przeprowadzone badania miały dwa podstawowe cele – poznawczy i metodologiczny. Z jednej strony dążono do ukazania różnych prawidłowości w zmianach przestrzenno-krajobrazowych wsi, z drugiej natomiast, celem pracy było stworzenie katalogu reprezentacji (przedstawień) przestrzennych, o charakterze formalnym i społecznym, umożliwiających wielowymiarową rejestrację zjawisk osadniczych. W ten sposób intencją zespołu badawczego było nie tylko odwołanie się do dyrektyw klasycznej geografii człowieka (przestrzeń traktowana jako czynnik sprawczy, który należy uwzględniać w analizie społeczeństw), ale również uwzględnienie wyzwań nowych nurtów badawczych, ukształtowanych w ramach społeczno-kulturowego „zwrotu” geografii, interpretujących przestrzeń jako społecznie wytworzoną. Badania o takim charakterze, w których środowisko człowieka jest po prostu miejscem życia, nawiązują do tradycji antropogeograficznych, choć we współczesnych uwarunkowaniach cywilizacyjnych, i z uwzględnieniem postępu teoretyczno-metodologicznego współczesnej geografii człowieka.
Ogląd różnych przemian z perspektywy miejsc, koncentruje się przede wszystkim na społecznym i funkcjonalnym wymiarze ich istnienia i zmiany. Studia przypadku uwidaczniają to, czego nie da się zarejestrować w wymiarze strukturalnym i globalnym, szczególnie w obrębie ujęć ilościowych. Zwrócenie się ku tej perspektywie badawczej rodzi liczne refleksje o kondycji społeczności lokalnych, a także o społecznych wyobrażeniach i opiniach na temat tego, co dzieje się w przestrzeni osobistej, sąsiedzkiej i wspólnotowej.

Authors: Kusuma Nabila Divandra , Ardhi Mohammad Saiful , Widodo Widodo , Setyowatie Sita 
Published: August 2024

Highlight:

Some risk factors exhibited incongruent outcomes and went against existing theories.
The age group under 65 years old was the most prevalent modifiable risk factor.
Stage 2 hypertension was the most dominant non-modifiable risk factor.

ABSTRACT
Introduction: Stroke is a major cause of disability and death worldwide. Among the three types of strokes, the ischemic stroke is the most prevalent. Controlling risk factors is a key approach to preventing ischemic stroke. Due to the limited data availability in Indonesia, it is important to research patient profiles focusing on risk factors for ischemic stroke. Objective: To record the patient profiles based on the risk factors for ischemic stroke in the neurology inpatient ward of Dr. Soetomo General Academic Hospital Surabaya for the period of January–June 2022. Methods: This was a descriptive observational study with a retrospective design. This study examined secondary data from ischemic stroke patients’ medical records at the Dr. Soetomo General Academic Hospital’s neurology inpatient ward in Surabaya between January and June 2022. Results: Out of 176 patients, 108 were under the age of 65. Of these, 97 were male. There were 63 patients with a history of ischemic stroke, 58 with diabetes mellitus, 84 with stage 2 hypertension, 77 with dyslipidemia, 59 with impaired kidney function, 52 with diabetes mellitus by lab tests, and 23 who smoked. Conclusion: In this study, some risk factors exhibited discrepancies and contradicted existing theories. The two dominant variables in the patient population were a combination of risk factors that occur more frequently at a certain age and a combination of risk factors in patients with recurrent strokes.

Published: August 2024

Tropical Cyclone Seroja, which occurred in the Indian Ocean, was characterized by maximum wind speeds of 70 knots. As part of the impact assessment associated with the cyclone, wave height observations were conducted along its track and tidal examinations were carried out at Cape Cuvier and Kupang tidal stations. Therefore, this research aims to analyze the relationship between wind speed and wave height, as well as the impact of Cyclone Seroja on waves and tide. The results showed that Cyclone Seroja reached a very high intensity with maximum wind speeds of 70 knots and maximum wave height of 14.24 meters on April 11, 2021, at 06:00 UTC. Regression analysis showed an R-squared value of 0.716, indicating that 71.6% of the variation in wave height can be explained by wind speed. The correlation value of 0.846 indicated a strong relationship between wind speed and wave height. This research also analyzed the changes in residual tide height at Cape Cuvier tidal station on April 11, 2021, with a maximum residual height of 0.57 meters. Wave height propagation from wave station 1487 significantly influenced the residual tide value at Cape Cuvier, with wave height of 11.790 meters and a propagation speed of 40.42 km/h. At Kupang tidal station, there was a residual height change of up to 0.27 meters, caused by influence of low pressure around wave station 239, with an average pressure of 1001 pHa and an average wave height of 3.89 meters, propagating towards the Kupang tidal station during the formation phase of Tropical Cyclone Seroja. Keywords: Cyclone; Seroja; Wave; Tide; Indian Ocean.
Low Resistivity Pay Zone Detection in Hydrocarbon Formation: The Feasibility of the Spectral Induced Polarization Method
Authors: Kellal S. , Kirmizakis P. , El-Husseiny A. , Ntarlagiannis D. , Soupios P. , Mahmoud M. 
Published: August 2024

Summary
Identifying and characterizing low resistivity pay (LRP) zones within hydrocarbon-rich formations has long been challenging in the petroleum industry due to their complex mineral composition, microporosity, and diminished resistivity contrasts. Traditional methods, such as resistivity measurements, struggle to effectively pinpoint LRP zones, prompting the need for innovative approaches in reservoir evaluation. This paper explores the feasibility of using the spectral induced polarization (SIP) method for detecting LRP zones. The SIP method measures complex conductivity across a frequency range from 1 mHz to 10 kHz. While this technique has been widely used in mining and environmental studies, its potential for petrophysics applications in the oil and gas sector remains largely unexplored. This study acts as a proof of concept, demonstrating the capability of SIP for detecting LRP zones. Laboratory experiments utilized dual-porosity silica gel samples with controlled micro- and macroporosity fractions and added pyrite content. Despite a high crude oil saturation of approximately 60%, the presence of brine in continuous micropores resulted in low resistivity readings (0.7 Ω·m) at low frequencies, as conventionally measured by direct current resistivity tools. However, at higher frequencies (&gt;100 Hz), the study observed high average resistivity values (82 Ω·m), indicating a frequency-dependent behavior in electrical measurements. This behavior is attributed to polarization mechanisms, including the electrical double layer (EDL). This study’s findings propose the SIP method’s potential effectiveness for detecting LRP zones, paving the way for future research to delve deeper into the application of SIP in petrophysics.

Effect of Artificial Intelligence on Economic Growth in European Countries: a symmetric and asymmetric cointegration based on linear and non-linear ARDL approach
Authors: KALAI Maha , BECHA Hamdi , ABDALLAH Amal Ben , HELALI Kamel 
Published: August 2024

Abstract

In recent years, the Artificial Intelligence (AI) emergence had an important impact on the global economy, especially in advanced countries. Therefore, this study assessed the AI effect on economic growth in 30 European countries between 2000 and 2021 using the symmetric (PMG-ARDL) model and the asymmetric (PMG-NARDL) model. The results of this study lead us to conclude that the use of AI in the ARDL model has a positive impact on economic growth. Specifically, an increase in the AI variable leads to a 0.217% increase in economic growth in the long run. In the case of the NARDL model, positive shocks to the positive AI variable led to an increase in economic growth, but negative shocks reduce it. The use of this technology can stimulate economic growth by increasing efficiency, fostering economies of scale, improving the quality of products and services and creating better working conditions. However, it can also have negative effects, such as job displacement, training and adaptation costs and the exacerbation of economic and social inequalities. Hence, policymakers are urged to examine AI role in driving economic growth and fostering inclusive development, particularly in sectors where it can facilitate the creation of AI-based solutions to tackle social and environmental challenges.

The Relationship between CO2 Emissions, Economic Growth, Labor Force, Digitalization, Urbanization and Renewable Energy Consumption: Evidence from the EU and Selected Developing Countries
Authors: Akyol Hikmet , AĞIRKAYA Melahat BATU 
Published: August 2024

Abstract

This research deals with the relationship between CO2 emissions and economic growth, labor force, digitalization, urbanization rate, and renewable energy consumption. In this context, the period covering 1994–2020 in 26 European Union (EU) member states and nine leading developing countries was estimated using Pearson correlation, panel cointegration, regression, and heterogeneous causality analyses. Research findings have shown that economic growth increases CO2 emissions and environmental degradation. The analysis estimates showed the negative impact of economic growth on environmental quality in both EU members and developing countries. For this reason, the dissemination of environmentally friendly production and techniques is necessary for both groups of countries. At the panel level, the impact of the workforce on CO2 emissions is positive. We found that renewable energy consumption increases environmental quality for both groups of countries. The findings, both by the panel and by country, on the impact of urbanization and digitalization on CO2 emissions are complex. The results revealed that environment-based digital transformation is not at the desired level for most countries in the sample. Causality analysis showed a bidirectional causality between growth, labor, and CO2 emissions. There is a one-way causality from digitalization, urbanization rate, and renewable energy consumption to CO2 emissions.
