Published: March 2024

This article presents the findings of an open, comparative, prospective study aimed to investigate the state of vascular endothelial function in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) who have recovered from COVID-19, and to assess the potential for long-term prediction of preclinical atherosclerosis development.Materials and methods. A total of 133 COPD patients were examined under outpatient conditions: the main group (n=90), with a history of COVID-19, and a comparison group (n=43). Participants were examined twice: V1 - initial examination from 3 weeks to three months post-infection, V2 - a follow-up examination 12 months after the first visit. Based on the CAVI index values at point V2, the main group was divided into 2 subgroups. The state of vascular endothelial function was assessed using volume sphygmomanometry and by determining the concentration of biochemical markers in the blood.Results. In the main group at point V2, the studied parameters of arterial stiffness were significantly higher compared to the comparison group (aortic pulse wave velocity, cardio-ankle vascular index (CAVI) on the right and left, augmentation indices on the brachial and carotid arteries). At point V1, in the 1st subgroup (R-CAVI≥8.5 units), the concentration of biomarkers such as endothelin-1, total homocysteine, monocyte chemoattractant protein, vascular endothelial growth factor, C-reactive protein, interleukin-6,10 was significantly higher than in the 2nd subgroup (R-CAVI<8.5 units). Conclusion. Taking into account the results obtained, a mathematical model for predicting preclinical atherosclerosis in COPD patients 12 months after COVID-19 was developed, which can be applied by clinicians in the long-term assessment of cardiovascular risk.

Published: March 2024

Aim. The study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a comprehensive rehabilitation program for patients experiencing reduced respiratory muscle strength following coronavirus pneumonia.Materials and methods. This prospective, ran-domized study enrolled 55 individuals (average age 66.1±6.4 years; 21.8% males and 78.2% females) who had recovered from COVID-19. The rehabilitation regimen included 10 sessions of respiratory exercises, 10 chest massage treatments, and 3 sessions of osteopathic adjustment. Assessments of respiratory function and respiratory muscle strength were conducted both before the initiation of rehabilitation and upon its completion.Results. Initial complaints included rapid fatigue, dyspnea under physical strain, vertigo, headaches, chest pain during respiration, and disrupted sleep patterns. Participants were categorized into two groups: males and females. Both groups demonstrated a decrease in expiratory muscle strength by a factor of 1.2 and inspiratory muscle strength by 1.6, compared to normative values. Spirometry indicated impaired lung function across all participants. Post-rehabilitation, a marked improvement in overall health and a reduction in complaint severity were observed. Rehabilitation routing scales showed a decrease in condition severity from 2-3 points to 1-2 points, alongside a statistically significant increase in respiratory muscle strength, enhanced oxygen saturation, and restored lung function.Conclusion. Our proposed comprehensive rehabilitation program, incorporating osteopathic manipulation, respiratory exercises, and massage, successfully shifts the pathological breathing pattern to a physiological one, strengthens respiratory muscles, and reinstates lung function. This leads to improved exercise, reduced anxiety and depression levels, and enhanced quality of life for post-COVID-19 pneumonia patients.

Authors: Thushara T R  
Published: March 2024

Background and Purpose: The treatment of balance disorders lacks a fixed method, with identification andmanagement of external factors being crucial. Many balance disorders benefit from balance training and moderatephysical activity. Exercise programs encompass strength training, balance and coordination exercises, dual tasktraining, hydrotherapy, tai chi, and yoga, all proven to enhance balance. Tai Chi Chuan, a martial art, utilizes slow,graceful moves and precise body movements to enhance body awareness and balance, combined with breathingtechniques for mind-body harmony and energy flow. Practicing Tai Chi fosters muscle strength, flexibility, aerobicconditioning, and stress reduction, contributing to overall well-being and balance improvement.Methods: The study was conducted at Omashram Trust, Bangalore, Karnataka. The research design selectedfor the study was quasi experimental pre-test post-test with experimental and control group. Non probabilitypurposive sampling technique was adopted to select the samples. The data collection tool consisted of part I andpart II.Part I – Dealt with the interview schedule for demographic data which consist of 13 items used to collect thesample characteristics such as age in years, gender, religion, educational status, past occupation, source of income,marital status, diet, on a therapeutic diet, practice of regular exercise, presence of any physical illness, aware ofinformation about Tai Chi Chuan exercise, if yes.Part II - Berg balance scale was used to assess the balance control in older people.Results of the StudyAssociation between the body balance status and demographic variablesa) Experimental GroupThe finding of this study in the experimental group showed that there was significant association between the levelof balance control and demographic variables such as age and past occupation.

Published: March 2024

AbstractPreviously rewarded stimuli slow response times (RTs) during visual search, despite being physically non-salient and no longer task-relevant or rewarding. Such value-driven attentional capture (VDAC) has been measured in a training-test paradigm. In the training phase, the search target is rendered in one of two colors (one predicting high reward and the other low reward). In this study, we modified this traditional training phase to include pre-cues that signaled reliable or unreliable information about the trial-to-trial color of the training phase search target. Reliable pre-cues indicated the upcoming target color with certainty, whereas unreliable pre-cues indicated the target was equally likely to be one of two distinct colors. Thus reliable and unreliable pre-cues provided certain and uncertain information, respectively, about the magnitude of the upcoming reward. We then tested for VDAC in a traditional test phase. We found that unreliably pre-cued distractors slowed RTs and drew more initial eye movements during search for the test-phase target, relative to reliably pre-cued distractors, thus providing novel evidence for an influence of information reliability on attentional capture. That said, our experimental manipulation also eliminated value-dependency (i.e., slowed RTs when a high-reward-predicting distractor was present relative to a low-reward-predicting distractor) for both kinds of distractors. Taken together, these results suggest that target-color uncertainty, rather than reward magnitude, played a critical role in modulating the allocation of value-driven attention in this study.

The purpose of this study is to explore legal protection for loan recipients for agreements with standard clauses in implementationfintech. The research method is normative juridical, with a statutory and conceptual approach. The results of the study show that legal protection in standard agreements shows that it has not been realized properly, this is because there are principlestake it or leave it which then set aside the legal norm in the form of the principle of freedom of contract. Besides, there is no embodiment of the principle of consumer protectionfintech lending, namely transparency and complaint service mechanisms. The legal remedies in the agreement tend to prioritize repressive efforts and override preventive measures by not providing education about the complaint mechanism. which leads to injustice for the recipient of the loan.

Published: March 2024

ABSTRACTThe existence of the ASEAN community and the global community, which has played an active role in the development of unstoppable, has brought various influences, both positive and negative. The people of Timor-Leste will certainly not be spared and will experience the impact of globalization. Therefore there are 2 important points that must be prepared by the government and parliament. First, the government must take anticipatory steps against transnational crimes in the era of the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC). Second, the Government and parliament must prepare adequate legal products to anticipate transnational crimes that will arise, and also carry out international cooperation to harmonization the law with ASEAN member States. In this study using a normative type of research reciting laws regarding transnational crimes. With the problems that have been explained from the beginning, it is concluded as follows: The responsibility of the government to increase the capacity of law enforcement officials, especially the police, to conduct continuous training to become professionals to combat and anticipate transnational crimes that will arise. Provide supporting facilities for police officers in carrying out their duties. conduct international cooperation among ASEAN member states to strengthen the rules of international law to combat transnational crime.

Published: March 2024

Increased problems associated with side effects and microbial resistance of chemical drugs have promoted the research focus of herbs and herbs-based medicines as renewed interest. The present study studied the antifungal potential of Hypericum scabrum (H. scabrum), Salvia multicaulis (S. multicaulis) plants and their derived sustainable NCs against dermayophyton species. These plants were used as free-toxic solvent media and phytogradiant reductants to fabricate nanoformulations as alternative antimycotic drugs. Analysis of antifungal activity showed a noticeable inhibition of the trychophyton mycelial growth when cultured on SDA mixed with different doses of the plant extract, particularly 50% H. scabrum that stopped mycelial growth of T. mentagrophytes and T. verrcuosum thoroughly after 10-day incubation by of 100 % MGI, followed by Ag@Fe3O4@SiO2 with particle size around 20 to 60 nm, that record ( 67.64 and 63,.33 % of MGI) by 50 µg ml−1 application respectively. The lowest effect of H. scabrum and Ag@Fe3O4@SiO2 at high concentrations was against T. simii (44.44 % and 16 % MGI). The maximum antifungal activity of 50 % Salvia multicaulis and 50 µg ml−1 CuO@SiO2 NC with an average diameter of 60 nm was found against T. mentagrophytes and T. verrcuosum with (66.66 and 51.47 % MGI), respectively, while the minimum activity was found against T. quinckeanum and T. simii (33.33 and 13.33 % MGI), respectively. Thus, these plant extracts and NCs could be used to develop a new medication for dermatophytosis.

“Los Argentinos”: A Gang of Swindlers and the Criminal Integration of the Americas, 1935-1943’
Authors: Esteva Diego Pulido 
Published: March 2024

This article analyses the cross-border execution of the crime of fraud, which was rife across the American continent during the interwar period. In the early decades of the twentieth century, Mexico had become a major hub for fraud following a boom in this type of crime across the South American Atlantic region. Focussing on a gang of swindlers known as “Los Argentinos”, cosmopolitan travelling criminals, the article investigates the growth of so-called “tricksterism” and the cross-border nature of crimes of fraud and forgery. It concludes that “tricksterism” benefited from both flows of migrants and cross-border connections, eventually building webs of complicity with local, state and federal authorities.
Forecasting Epileptic Seizures Using XGBoost Methodology and EEG Signals
Authors: Mounika Sunkara , S R Reeja 
Published: March 2024

INTRODUCTION: Epilepsy denotes a disorder of neurological origin marked by repetitive and spontaneous seizures without any apparent trigger. Seizures occur due to abrupt and heightened electricity flowing through the brain, which can lead to physical and mental symptoms. There are several types of epileptic seizures, and epilepsy itself can be caused by various underlying conditions. EEG (Electroencephalogram) is one of the most important and widely used tools for epileptic seizure prediction and diagnosis. EEG uses skull sensors to record electrical signals from the brain., and it can provide valuable insights into brain activity patterns associated with seizures. OBJECTIVES: Brain-computer interface technology pathway for analyzing the EEG signals for seizure prediction to eliminate the class imbalance issue from our dataset in this case, a SMOTE approach is applied. It is observable that there are more classes of one variable than there are of the others in the output variable. This will be problematic when employing different Artificial intelligence techniques since these algorithms are more likely to be biased towards a certain variable because of its high prevalence METHODS: SMOTE approaches will be used to address this bias and balance the number of variables in the response variable. To develop an XGBoost (Extreme Gradient Boosting) model using SMOTE techniques to increase classification accuracy. RESULTS: The results show that the XGBoost method achieves a 98.7% accuracy rate. CONCLUSION: EEG-based model for seizure type using the XGBoost model for predicting the disease early. The Suggested method could significantly reduce the amount of time needed to accomplish seizure prediction.

Published: March 2024

Charney and Morris-Wright showed acylindrical hyperbolicity of Artin groups of infinite type associated with graphs that are not joins, by studying clique-cube complexes and the actions on them. In this paper, by developing their study and formulating some additional discussion, we demonstrate that acylindrical hyperbolicity holds for more general Artin groups. Indeed, we are able to treat Artin groups of infinite type associated with graphs that are not cones.
