Authors: Reynolds Samantha , Cooper Mason , Hayes Isabella 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
The impact of renewable energy on the metal industry's bottom line is the focus of this study. The study aimed to learn about the changes, challenges, and opportunities that metal companies were encountering during this shift by conducting semi-structured interviews with key individuals in the metal business. This study used in-depth semi-structured interviews as its research approach. Through these in-depth interviews, we were able to learn about the metal industry from all angles and get a feel for the people working there. After sorting the interviews according to common themes, we learned a lot about how companies are adapting to the demands of renewable energy. Lithium and rare earth elements, which are essential for renewable energy applications, are receiving more attention from the industry, according to the study's findings. The ability to quickly adjust to shifting demands necessitates substantial investments in reorganizing manufacturing lines and exploring alternative methods of material extraction. In crucial respects, the difficulty of constructing a robust supply chain became apparent. Due to volatile political climates and shifting market conditions, there are dangers in the industry. So, to make the supply chain more robust and problem-resistant, we need to investigate alternative supply sources and stock types. The study's limitations stem from its qualitative methodology, which hinders the ability to draw broader statistical conclusions. Not to mention that the study only covers a limited time frame in which changes were observed. To put it simply, the research equips all participants with crucial data that aids in strategic decision-making, supply chain improvement, and market expansion. The shift toward green energy in the sector has the potential to improve sustainability and reduce environmental impacts, which would have positive social impacts. This research adds to our understanding of how the transition to renewable energy has affected the metal industry's bottom line. The essay gives a comprehensive picture of the industry's reaction and potential outcomes. There is a need to keep an eye on the company over time in order to spot trends, and the qualitative approach may make it more difficult to draw broad generalizations.

Published: December 2023

Abstract

Objective
Clinical record-keeping is recognized as a core competency in medical education. This study aimed to evaluate comprehensiveness and instructional quality of videos available on the YouTube platform for teaching clinical record-keeping.
Material and Method:
YouTube was searched by using relevant keywords. Based on eligibility criteria, 59 videos were included in the study. Videos were assessed for country of origin, video length, number of likes, dislikes, comments, daily views, like ratio, and video power index. Tools to measure the quality of clinical notes, which are QNOTE and RED Checklist …, have been used to assess comprehensiveness of the videos. Instructional quality was assessed using the instructional video quality checklist (IVQC).
Results
The comprehensiveness score was 60.4 ± 17.89 (out of 100), while instructional quality score was 11.19 ± 3.61 (out of 27). IVQC scores were significantly higher in the university/professional organizations and academics compared to the others (p < 0,001). However, there was no significant difference between the groups in comprehensiveness scores (p = 0,131).
Conclusion
YouTube videos missing important rate of components of clinical record-keeping. Moreover, the instructional quality of the videos falls below half of the expected levels. These problems still persist in the videos uploaded by universities/professional organizations and academics. Therefore, YouTube videos should be used cautiously for clinical record-keeping training by medical students and medical educators.

Published: December 2023

Abstract
Introduction:
Pleural effusion is a condition that results from the accumulation of fluid between the layers of tissue lining the lungs and chest cavity. Pleural effusion can occur on its own or it can be the result of disease such as infection, malignancy, or inflammatory conditions. it is a major cause of pulmonary mortality and morbidity. Pleural effusion is a common condition in patients with pneumonia, with at least 40- 60% of patients with bacterial pneumonia developing pleural effusion of varying severity. But today, pulmonary effusion is not common due to immediate treatment with antibiotics. However, some patients develop a more fibrous reaction with frank pus in severe cases, the latter of which is referred to as empyema or thoracic empyema. Treatment of septic pleural effusion requires antimicrobial therapy, chest blasting and thoracostomy, intrapleural injections, surgery as well as supportive therapy based on a multidisciplinary approach involving thoracic surgeons, radiologists and septic disease experts. Early intervention through thoracic surgery is a crucial method of treatment, given that about 30% of patients undergoing treatment fail and require surgical intervention
Methods:
A retrospective study was conducted by collecting data from the files of patients in Damascus hospital among the years 2015 and 2023. We obtained a written consent from all patients in the group. The study excluded patients who didn’t complete the questionnaire. The study was approved by the Ethical Review Board (IRB) of the Faculty of Medicine in the Syrian Private University.
Results:
The study included 50 patients with pneumonia most of which were males (62%) whereas females formed 38% of patients. 38% of patients acquired pneumonia from society whereas 16% acquired it from the hospital and 46% of the cases were of unknown origin.

Authors: Kuo Chih-Wei , Huang Yueh-Fen , Tsai Hsiao-Ching 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
This study focused on the development and evaluation of an Adaptive Query Contextualization Algorithm (AQCA) within the Alpaca Large Language Model (LLM) framework. The AQCA was designed to enhance the model's capability in information retrieval by employing a novel context encoding methodology that dynamically adapted to multifaceted contextual signals derived from user search history and interaction patterns. The algorithm's efficacy was rigorously tested across various metrics, including Contextual Relevance Score (CRS), Word Prediction Accuracy (WPA), Information Retrieval Fidelity (IRF), and Response Coherence Measure (RCM). Significant improvements were observed in the augmented Alpaca LLM's performance, especially in complex scenarios such as metaphorical language understanding and domain-specific knowledge integration. Challenges related to scalability, adaptability to multilingual contexts, and integration with diverse LLM architectures were identified, emphasizing the need for continued research in these areas. The study concluded that while the AQCA marked a substantial advancement in LLMs for context-aware information retrieval, it also opened avenues for future innovations focusing on technical enhancements and ethical considerations.

Zwischen Integration und Zusammenhalt
Authors: Engi Lorenz 
Published: December 2023

Das Recht verwendet die Begriffe «Integration» und «Zusammenhalt». Das Ziel der Integration bezieht sich auf verschiedene gesellschaftliche Gruppen wie Ausländerinnen und Ausländer oder Menschen mit Behinderungen. Der Begriff weist darüber hinaus auch eine Bedeutungsdimension auf, in der er alle Personen einschliesst. In dieser Dimension deckt sich der Begriff mit dem des gesellschaftlichen Zusammenhalts.
--
En droit, les notions d'«intégration» et de «cohésion» revêtent une importance particulière. L'objectif d'intégration se réfère à différents groupes sociaux, tels que les étrangers ou les personnes handicapées. Cependant, ce terme comporte également une dimension sémantique qui comprend toutes les personnes. En ce sens, il présente des similitudes avec le concept de cohésion sociale.
Criminal offenses against finances under the draft of the new Criminal Code of Ukraine
Authors: Dudorov Oleksandr Oleksiiovych , Movchan Roman Oleksandrovych 
Published: December 2023

The article is devoted to the analysis of the provisions of the project of the new Criminal Code of Ukraine, devoted to imposing liability for criminal offenses against finances. It has been established that, despite the generally innovative and progressive nature of these provisions, some of them are debatable. The conclusions of the article include suggestions aimed at their improvement.
In particular, it has been proven that the circumstances proposed in the project, which increase the severity of financial crimes, are partly such that they contradict requirements for the content of qualifying features developed in the criminal law doctrine as a means of differentiating criminal liability.
Both “separate” description of such crimes as counterfeiting money and dealing with counterfeit money, as well as classification of these offenses as crimes of the 5th degree of severity, have been criticized.
It was established that one of the serious (systemic) shortcomings of the project is the numerous inconsistencies between the degrees of severity of specific criminal offenses defined in its Special Part and the types of damage established in the General Part.
It is shown that the current version of the stimulating provision, designed for tax evasion and non-payment due to carelessness of a tax, fee or single contribution to mandatory state social insurance: a) is able to unreasonably expand the subject composition of these crimes at the expense of persons who voluntarily participate in the system of mandatory state social insurance; b) does not take into account the fact that the subject of tax crimes and the organization which is legally the payer of tax and social contributions do not coincide.
The expediency of a clearer delineation of such crimes as credit fraud and theft, as well as specifying the actions that will constitute the crime of “abuse of the financial interests of the European Union”, is indicated.
The debatable clauses inherent in the definition of a predicate act are defined. The impropriety of singling out such form of the objective side of legalization (laundering) of assets (income) obtained through criminal means, as providing assistance to a person involved in legalization (laundering) to avoid liability for what he did, has been proven.
Key words: criminal offenses against finance, money counterfeiting, payment means and instruments, credit fraud, tax evasion, money laundering, legalization, assets obtained through crime, predicate act, differentiation of criminal liability.
Subject of prevention of road traffic offences: concept, features, classification, practical significance
Authors: Golina Volodymyr Vasylovych 
Published: December 2023

The article is devoted to consideration of a number of fundamental issues related to the subject of prevention of motor vehicle offences, its main features, classifications, and the system of subjects. It is argued that the essence of preventing criminal manifestations is to eliminate or limit their determinants - causes and conditions. The study confirms the conclusion that the driving force, the dominant cause is the human factor, consciousness, will, emotions, interests of offenders, which requires activities, measures, and means which, in combination, can have a real impact on road traffic. In this regard, the author defines the subject of accident prevention, the main feature (among others) of which is the ability and capacity to eliminate or limit the criminogenic effect of "vulnerable" links in the deterministic chain of these offences using its respective resource potential. It is proposed to create a new or activate existing structures. Similar bodies have been created in many countries around the world, which have achieved significant positive results on the path of professionalisation and specialisation of actors, moving towards Vision Zero.
The author classifies subjects according to the criterion of the functional purpose of their main activity. According to this criterion, 4 groups of entities are distinguished: entities for which preventive activity in the criminological sense is: the main, one of the main, function within other types of activity, informal public duty. It turned out that the first group of subjects of prevention is not represented in Ukraine on a permanent or long-term basis.
The author makes a number of proposals regarding the creation of the first group of subjects, and critical remarks are made regarding the statement that the country has a system of crime prevention and its manifestation such as road traffic offences with grave consequences. Such a system has not been built in Ukraine.
Criminal influence in information security crimes and the establishment or dissemination of criminal influence as a criminal offense against public safety: ratio problem
Authors: Maksymenko Anton 
Published: December 2023

Scientific article devoted to the study of the concept of «criminal influence» in its various criminal law meanings. The subject of the author's scientific interest is the relationship between the concept of "criminal influence" as a component of complicity - in the commission of a criminal offense by prior conspiracy by a group of persons in the field of information security and as a component of establishing or spreading criminal influence as a criminal offense against public safety.
The content of establishing or spreading criminal influence as an independent socially dangerous act and as an element of criminal acts when committing criminally punishable acts in the field of information security is disclosed. Attention is focused on the main forms of criminal influence during the commission of criminal offenses in the field of information security. Formulated author's proposals regarding the levels of criminal influence.
The issue of the criminal-legal qualification of acts related to the establishment or expansion of criminal influence has recently developed. And already published scientific works that deserve attention and their study and analysis. At the same time, for the field of information security, the problem of qualification of illegal acts using such a feature as the establishment or spread of criminal influence has not yet acquired an adequate level of research. The issue of distinguishing criminal influence as a component of the commission of a criminal offense based on a prior conspiracy by a group of persons and as an independent criminal offense provided for in Art. 255-1 of the Сriminal code of Ukraine.
The current state of development of relations in the field of information technologies has a steady trend towards the total digitalization of all social processes without exception. The expanded use of information technologies during the collection and processing of personal data of a person, the transfer of financial transactions to a cashless form and even the availability of personal electronic documents - all this in its entirety significantly simplifies the process of developing social relations, realizing the rights of a person and satisfying his interests. At the same time, similar trends lead to the reorientation of criminal influence from real to virtual space, which contributes to the spread and modernization of crime in the field of information relations.

Abstract

Gaining insights into the patterns of hydroclimatic elements such as inflows to dams is essential to adeptly strategize and oversee water resource planning. For this study, we focused on Karuppanadhi and Gundar dams within the Chittar River Basin in Tamil Nadu. We employed various time series trend assessment methods – Mann–Kendall (MK), modified Mann–Kendall (MMK), Sen slope estimator, and innovative trend analysis (ITA). Furthermore, we conducted change point detection analysis using homogeneity tests, namely Pettitt's test, standard normal homogeneity test (SNHT), and Buishand test. The analysis was carried out across three-time scales: monthly, seasonal, and annual for 30 years (1991–2020) span. Results revealed declining trends significantly across all three timescales for the Karuppanadhi dam. Whereas for the Gundar dam, notable trends included increased patterns in January, March, December, and the winter season, while other months/seasons showed statistically decreasing trends. ITA exhibited greater sensitivity in identifying trends at monthly and seasonal scales, indicating its superior trend detection over MK and MMK methods. Change point analysis of trends identified a rising trend in August post-2017 for both dams. Other change points indicated decreasing inflow trends thereafter. Analysing trends and change points in dam inflows aid decisions on water resources management.

Authors: Swar Riya , Dessai Prachita Gauns , MamleDesai Shivalingrao , Chandavarkar Sachin , Phadte Soniya , Biradar Bheemanagouda 
Published: December 2023

Background:
According to 2022, the estimated number of cancer cases in India was found
to be 1,461,427. Lung cancers are the leading cause of death among Indian males. Research on cancer
has been conducted to develop better treatments that are safe and effective and could be used to diagnose cancer at an early stage. It was found that quinolin-2-one possesses anticancer activity, which
led us to synthesize substituted quinolin-2-one derivatives that can provide a longer future to cancer
patients and decrease the risk of dying from cancer.

Objective:
This study aimed to carry out the design, synthesis, characterisation, and evaluation of
novel substituted quinolin-2-one analogues as possible anti-lung cancer agents.

Methods:
Compound III a/III b on reaction with acids, sodium acetate and ethylchloroacetate, substituted benzaldehyde, phthalic anhydride, and 2N sodium hydroxide yielded compounds IV a/ IV b, V
a/ V b, VI a/ VI b, VI c/ VI d, VI e/ VI f, VII a/ VII b, and VIII a/ VIII b, respectively.

Result:
Among all the synthesised derivatives, compound VII a was found to be most potent with a
MolDock score of -132.78 as compared to standard drug imatinib (-114.37) and active ligand 4- anilinoquinazoline
(-126.71). All the synthesized derivatives showed a good ADME profile, but compound
VII a showed the best ADME data among all the synthesised derivatives.

:
All the synthesised compounds were tested for their in vitro anticancer activity against the Hop-62
(human lung cancer) cell line, out of which compound VII a was found to be most potent, with a
percent control growth of -51.7% at a concentration of 80 μg/ml, which was in comparable to the
positive control, Adriamycin (-70.5%) and standard imatinib (-84.0%).

Conclusion:
Compound VII a showed the highest MolDock score and was most potent against human
lung cancer cell line Hop-62.
Colorimetric and Electrochemical Sensors for the Detection of Sarcosine,
A Potential Biomarker for Prostate Cancer: A Review
Authors: Venugopal Iyer Vaishnavi , Rajendran Rajapriya , Selvaraj Stalin 
Published: December 2023

Abstract:
Sarcosine is currently identified as a potential biomarker for prostate cancer. It is n-methyl
derivative of glycine, which is naturally present in muscle and body tissues. Studies indicate that a
delay in the treatment of prostate cancer is often due to its diagnosis not being possible at earlier
stages. Also, plasma and urine samples with increased sarcosine concentration exhibit a higher probability
of this cancer development, therefore; it is safe to proceed with them as biomarkers. Correspondingly,
a sarcosine biosensor can be used for early detection of this cancer. Driven by this, in
this review, we have discussed various types of biosensors for the detection of sarcosine. The review
includes an overview of biosensors with their working principle, and discussion of the methodologies
used, starting from conventional chromatographic methods to exclusive nanotechnology-based biosensors.
This imbibes various techniques involved in the detection of sarcosine from urine and blood
samples. We also critically evaluated the different reports for sarcosine detection based on materials
used, techniques employed, limit of detection (LOD), linear range, sensitivity, and cost. We believe
that this review retains its novelty in providing a vision of existing advancements with intricate details
of their features, thus enabling the further development of biosensors for prostate cancer.
