Authors: Mawlood Kurdistan Ibrahim , Qader Hogr Muhammed 
Published: March 2024

The study aimed to estimate the effects of prognostic factors on tuberculosis (TB) survival. Two models have been studied (Logistic model and Cox regression models) in survival analysis.
Kaplan Meier has been applied to estimate the hazard function. The Kaplan Meier curve has been used to show the risks of dyeing of the factors in this study of tuberculosis data set. The data was obtained from Kurdistan Regional Government, Iraq /Ministry of health/General Directorate of Health, Hawler/Chest and Respiratory disease Center, in period 11th January 2015 through 23th November 2019 of all tuberculosis patients followed up by the hospital until 14th April 2020. Kaplan Meier estimator results indicates that in the factor X-ray result TB has the highest value of estimated mean time until death, the Kaplan Meier curves are clearly indicated that the risk of dying increased with the time especially after 15 months. The logistic regression model identifies that (Gender, Chest symptoms, Type of patient, Site of TB, Transpupillary thermotherapy (TTT-outcome)) are the prognostic factors that influence in tuberculosis survival. Moreover, the Cox regression model identifies that (Age group, Gender, Site of TB, TTT-outcome) are the most common factors that have an impact on tuberculosis.
Logistic regression model was selected to be the best model for our study data of tuberculosis by using the criterions; Akaike Information Criterion (AIC) and Bayesian information criterion (BIC) to comparing two models. It's worth mentioning; the results obtained by utilizing the statistical packages in Mat-lab and SPSS V.25, which was used to analyze our study data.

Pastoral kenótica:
Authors: Cardoso Maria Teresa de Freitas , Meira André Luiz Bordignon 
Published: March 2024

The article studies a proposal of pastoral action in which is highlighted the kenotic character, that is, turning oneself towards meeting and service of persons. The objective of the article is to highlight that kenotic action is part of Pope Francis’ proposal in the Apostolic Exhortation Evangelii Gaudium, and that this can be illustrated by the theology of Urs von Balthasar. The methodology relates the authors studied, starting by verifying the theme of kenosis in the theology of Urs von Balthasar and the presence of kenosis in the life of Jesus, especially highlighted in the Last Supper. The study of the theology of Urs von Balthasar refers to the trinitarian kenosis drawn out in the kenosis of Christ and in the ecclesial kenosis, among diverse traits in the realization of Church. The model of Jesus Is considered, in a life of service, and at the Supper with the washing of the feet. The article selects instructions from Pope Francis for the Church in our times, highlighting the neologism of making the Church “take the first step” and positioning itself as “a Church which goes forth”. It is implied that the mission is better developed in communities open to dialogue and to service in the world, in the line of synodality. It concludes that the kenotic character must stand out in the Church’s pastoral dimensio, valued by Urs Von Balthasar and translated in the pastoral orientations of Pope Francis.

Published: March 2024

Objectives:
Studies have reported significant number of individuals with leprosy develop nail changes of heterogeneous variety. Direct or indirect damage secondary to neural damage, repeated trauma, vascular injury, anemia or following drug therapy have been implicated. In this study, we compared nail changes in cases of leprosy with controls to determine leprosy specific nail changes through detailed onychoscopic evaluation along with nailfold capillaroscopy.

Materials and Methods:
We performed a case–control study in a tertiary care institute with 30 leprosy patients and 30 age- and sex-matched controls. The study was done over a period of three months from June 2023 to August 2023. Patients were classified as per Ridley-Jopling classification. A detailed clinical examination followed by onychoscopy and proximal nailfold (PNF) capillaroscopy using Dermlite DL4 was done in all the nails of cases and controls.

Results:
A total of 600 nails of 30 leprosy patients on treatment attending our outpatient department were studied over a span of three months. Nail changes were seen in 26 (86.6%) out of 30 patients of leprosy disease compared to 10 (33.3%) of the controls. The most common nail finding seen in leprosy patients was longitudinal melanonychia followed by leukonychia. Transverse lines, leukonychia, subungual hyperkeratosis, nail discoloration, nail pallor, onychochauxis, subungual hematoma, splinter hemorrhage, and brachyonychia were seen more in cases than in controls, and the difference was statistically significant. The PNF capillaroscopy showed microhemorrhages in eight patients of leprosy while none in controls.

Conclusion:
Nail changes seen in leprosy are multifactorial. The PNF capillaroscopy showed microhemorrhages, which could be an early feature of vascular changes in leprosy.

Pembangunan berkelanjutan bukan semata-mata tanggung jawab pemerintah atau perusahaan, namun juga tanggung jawab masyarakat secara keseluruhan. Partisipasi masyarakat dalam pembangunan berkelanjutan mempunyai peranan yang sangat penting untuk memastikan bahwa pembangunan sesuai dengan kebutuhan dan aspirasi masyarakat, serta dapat meningkatkan kualitas hidup mereka dalam jangka panjang. Partisipasi masyarakat dapat membantu meningkatkan transparansi dan akuntabilitas dalam pengambilan keputusan pembangunan, yang pada gilirannya dapat membantu mencegah korupsi dan penyalahgunaan kekuasaan. Untuk mengatasi permasalahan partisipasi dan pembangunan, diperlukan upaya seluruh pemangku kepentingan dalam merancang suatu pembangunan berdasarkan aspirasi yang biasanya rutin dilakukan dengan kegiatan musyawarah dan reses pembangunan yang dilakukan oleh anggota legislatif. Tujuan partisipasi dalam suatu pembangunan adalah ketepatan sasaran pembangunan berdasarkan kebutuhan masyarakat. Di salah satu wilayah di Malaysia yaitu Kedah, permasalahannya hampir sama terjadi di wilayah di berbagai belahan dunia bahwa kemajuan perkotaan mengurangi partisipasi masyarakat dalam pembangunan. Ini disebabkan oleh banyak hal termasuk aktivitas masyarakat yang sudah tidak ada waktu lagi kegiatan partisipasi pembangunan sehingga pembangunan terlaksana tidak sesuai dengan ketentuan keinginan dan kebutuhan masyarakat tetapi hanya kegiatan rutin pemerintah. Pergeseran ini harus terjadi ditangani oleh pemerintah dalam perkembangan teknologi. Partisipasi dapat tersampaikan melalui media atau aplikasi yang dapat diakses melalui komputer, laptop atau ponsel. Ini Perubahan orientasi pembangunan bermula dari kenyataan bahwa masyarakat miskin dalam pembangunan ekonomi tidak banyak dipromosikan dalam kemajuan pembangunan Harapan dari kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini adalah adanya transfer ilmu pengetahuan terkait partisipasi untuk pembangunan yang tepat sasaran dan berkelanjutan. Luaran dari hasil pengabdian masyarakat pada publikasi media nasional dan publikasi pada jurnal.
Using the geometric properties of quadratic functional intervals to reduce the search area for the minimum of a function on an interval
Authors: Скорик Д.А. 
Published: March 2024

Предложен метод уменьшения области поиска минимума функции на интервале, который основан на использовании геометрических свойств квадратичных функциональных интервалов. Доказано, что уменьшение достигается почти всюду, за исключением случая нулевого линейного члена. Проведен эксперимент, результаты которого показали перспективность применения предложенного метода в интервальных алгоритмах оптимизации, использующих адаптивное дробление.
The paper addresses the practical application of functional intervals, whose boundaries are quadratic polynomials of one variable, in order to solve one of the classical problems of computational mathematics — ҥnding the absolute minimum of a smooth function of one variable on an interval. Currently, this problem is solved in various ways. In particular, interval methods of global optimization based on adaptive fragmentation of the domain of function deҥnition and estimation of its values by the resulting sub-domains have become widespread. The interval methods, which provide a high order of estimation for the range of values of the function on the interval, are more advantegeous over the lower-order methods only whena the width of the functional interval is small. Therefore, when using such methods, it is necessary to quickly remove from consideration the areas in which cannot be a minimum of the considered function. Algorithms based on the ҡbranches-and-boundsә method cut off such areas when considering the splitting tree, based on interval estimates for the range of values of the function. Additionally, at each iteration of the crushing, the reduction of the search area is achieved using various techniques. The application of these techniques requires additional calculations of values or interval estimates for the areas of values of the function and/or its derivatives. The article proposes a method for reducing the search area of the minimum function, which uses a geometric interpretation of quadratic functional intervals. The method can be widely appllied as an integral part of popular interval algorithms of global optimization based on adaptive fragmentation for the domain of deҥnition of the considered function. It was shown that the method of reducing the minimum search area indicated in the work is promising for use, for example, for solving the problem of global optimization by the ҡbranches-andboundsә method.

How Joint Enterprise Liability Neutered the Criminal Cases Review Commission in England
Authors: Hewitt Louise 
Published: March 2024

In 2016 the English Supreme Court changed the law concerning joint enterprise liablity ub R v Jogee. The decision appeared to provide a remedy for secondary parties that had been convicted under the, albeit faithful application of the old law. The requirement, however, to demonstrate a substantial injustice following the subsequent case of Johnson significantly curtailed the number of appeals based on this change in the law. The substantial injustice test is applied by the English Criminal Cases Review Commission (CCRC) prior to the application of the statutory real possibility test. Up until now, there has not been any research that examines the impact of this situation and the extent that it constricts any remedy for secondary parties convicted under joint enterprise liability. Using findings from the first study to explore this concept this work examines the limiting effect of the substantial injustice test on the CCRC, explores the application of the corrected law from Jogee, and shows the low number of applicants to the CCRC that identify as black British, despite existing research suggesting this demographic has the highest conviction rate for joint enterprise.

Authors: Ivanchov P. V. , Bilyachenko M. V. 
Published: March 2024

Surgical management of gastroduodenal ulcers (GDU) and multiple combined complications (MCC) remains a relevant, complex and unresolved issue. There are currently no well‑defined algorithms, strategies, or surgical procedures for the treatment of gastroduodenal ulcers accompanied by a variety of complications.
Objective — to improve the results of surgical treatment and reduce the mortality of patients with GDU and MCC by implementing a surgical treatment algorithm.
Materials and methods. The results of surgical treatment of patients with complicated GDU for the period 2000—2022 are presented. A total of 395 (100.0%) patients with GDU accompanied by MCC (a combination of two or more complications) were operated on. There were 52 (13.16%) patients with gastric ulcer perforation and 301 (76.2%) patients with duodenal perforation. A combination of two complications was noted in 299 (75.69%) patients, three — in 88 (22.28%) patients, and four — in 8 (2.03%) patients.
Results. A total of 352 (89.11%) operative interventions were performed in an emergency, 43 (10.88%) were performed in the early delayed period (EDP). The implementation of a new algorithm of surgical treatment in the main group and the use of modern measures of endoscopic hemostasis made it possible to increase the rate of operated patients in EDP by 2.6 times, and reduce the mortality rate from 10.14% to 6.45%. The highest rate of mortality is associated with gastric resection in patients with GDU and MCC — 3 (42.87%) out of 7 patients. The lowest mortality rate was among patients who underwent one of the types of organ‑saving surgery — 7 (2.86%) patients out of 245 operated on in this group.
Conclusions. The implementation of the algorithm for providing surgical care to patients with GDU accompanied by MCC made it possible to reduce intraoperative mortality from 10.14% to 6.45%. The use of modern means of endoscopic hemostasis made it possible to stabilise, adequately prepare, and operate patients in EDP, which is confirmed by the increase of this indicator in the main group by 2.6 times. The highest mortality rate was in patients who underwent gastric resection and was 42.87%.

Purpose: To understand the impact of COVID-19-related closures of community-based exercise programs (CBEPs) on exercise participation, physical activity, and health of older adults with balance and mobility limitations; facilitators, and barriers to exercise and physical activity; and preferred support from recreation centres and healthcare providers. Method: This qualitative descriptive study involved semi-structured interviews with seven older adults (aged 50–76 years) with balance and mobility limitations, enrolled in CBEPs at a recreation centre in a suburban area in Canada prior to the COVID-19 pandemic. We conducted a thematic analysis. Results: One major theme, losing ground in the absence of structured exercise, was identified. Despite engaging in alternative at-home or outdoor activities, participants perceived a worsening of their balance and mobility, dissatisfaction with the extent of exercises and physical activity, and loss of social connectedness. Participants desired structured, individualized exercise resources, and frequent check-ins from exercise instructors to stay physically active during program suspension. Conclusions: Following CBEP closures, older adults with balance and mobility limitations from a single recreation centre perceived declines in physical and mental health, exercise participation and social interaction, and desired personalized exercises and communication from exercise instructors. The small sample size may have limited achievement of saturation.

Published: March 2024

Purpose: The objectives of this study were to understand the experiences, perceptions, and clinical practice of physiotherapists involved in planning, data collection, and interpretation for a study using a standardized measure of standing balance (the Mini Balance Evaluation Systems Test [Mini BESTest]). Method: We conducted a concurrent mixed methods study. We conducted semi-structured interviews with five phsyiotherapists exploring perceptions and experiences. We administered questionnaires on study satisfaction, confidence, and intention to use the Mini BESTest six times during the study. We extracted use of the Mini BESTest on non-study patients from a patient database. Results: Physiotherapists administered the Mini BESTest for all 59 clinical study patients. Study satisfaction was high (median 80%) and increased over time ( p < 0.05). Physiotherapists described generally positive experiences. Confidence in ability to administer, score, and interpret the Mini BESTest increased (all p < 0.05), although perceptions of the Mini BESTest varied. Intention to use the Mini BESTest did not change and physiotherapists used the Mini BESTest on non-study patients on average 11 times during the clinical study (range 0–33). Conclusions: Involving physiotherapists in clinical research increased confidence and use of the measure with non-study patients.
Flash Bainite—Room Temp Stamping 1500 to 1800 MPa Structural and Energy Absorbing Components to &lt;2T Bend Radii
Authors: Cola Gary M. 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
Flash Bainite Processing employs rapid thermal cycling (&lt;10s) to strengthen commercial off the shelf (COTS) steel sheet, plate, and tubing into advanced high strength steel (AHSS). In a continuous process, induction technology heats a narrow segment of the steel cross section in just seconds to atypically high temperatures (1000-1300°C). Quenching substantially immediately follows. Flash Processing optimizes the inherent heterogeneity of steelmaking to form a complex intra-granular multi-chemistry, mixture of bainite, martensite, and other morphologies. Carbon migration and carbide dissolution are controlled by limiting time in the austenitic range. Unlike conventional heat treating, homogeneity is intentionally avoided. Flashing steel such as AISI1010 (1100MPa UTS), AISI1020 (1500MPa UTS), AISI1330 (1800MPa UTS), and 13Cr (1800MPa) has shown excellent room temperature stampability. Flash 1500 has room temp stamped into complex shapes including B-pillars and automotive seat components. Flash 1800 has shown &lt;2T bends in complex geometry from 1 to 2mm thick 400x2000mm sheets.
