Authors: Zhao Chen , Huo Yiping , Liu Tong , Liao Zuxiong , Xu Congmu , Zhang Tao 
Published: November 2023

All-dielectric metasurface has important application value in many fields, especially in refractive index sensing. In this paper, an all-dielectric metasurface composed of a silicon triangular-hole nanodisk array is designed and studied numerically. Through introducing asymmetry in the proposed metasurface and transforming the bound states in the continuum (BIC) into the quasi-BIC, three sharp Fano resonances with almost 100% modulation depth can be achieved, and the highest quality factor (Q-factor) can reach 49,915. Further, the three Fano resonances can be regulated and controlled by adjusting the structural parameters. Moreover, the sensing performance of the structure is researched by changing the ambient refractive index. The maximum sensitivity obtained is 248 nm/RIU, and the best figure of merit is 3815RIU−1. The proposed structure provides a scheme for the design of optical devices, especially refractive index sensors.

Published: November 2023

In this paper, a metal–insulator–metal waveguide structure is proposed based on a D-shaped resonator and a stub resonator, and it can generate multiple Fano resonances. The magnetic field (Z-direction) distribution and transmission spectrum of the structure are analyzed by the finite element method (FEM). The theory results are performed with the multimode interference coupled mode theory (MICMT), and they show high agreement with the simulation outcomes. The calculations also discuss the effect of structural parameters on the transmission spectrum. Moreover, the structure’s sensing characteristics are analyzed in detail, achieving a maximum sensitivity and FOM* of 1300 nm/RIU and 181.44, respectively. In addition, the slow light properties of the structure are also investigated, whose group delay and group index can reach 0.24 ps and 48.93, respectively. The group delay time is dynamically regulated by controlling the number of D-shaped resonators to achieve the effect of a delay line. It can provide some reference value for multifunctional on-chip optical integrated devices based on MIM waveguide structure.

Background
Clot composition, contraction, and mechanical properties are likely determinants of endovascular thrombectomy success. A pre-interventional estimation of these properties is hypothesized to aid in selecting the most suitable treatment for different types of thrombi. Here we determined the association between the aforementioned properties and computed tomography (CT) characteristics using human blood clot analogues.

Methods
Clot analogues were prepared from the blood of 4 healthy human donors with 5 red blood cell (RBC) volume suspensions: 0%, 20%, 40%, 60% and 80% RBCs. Contraction was measured as the weight of the contracted clots as a percentage of the original suspension. The clots were imaged using CT with and without contrast to quantify clot density and density increase. Unconfined compression was performed to determine the high strain compressive stiffness. The RBC content was analysed using H&E staining.

Results
The 5 RBC suspensions formed only two groups of clots, fibrin-rich (0% RBCs) and RBC-rich (>90% RBCs), as determined by histology. The density of the fibrin-rich clots was significantly lower (31-38HU) compared to the RBC-rich clots (72-89HU), and the density increase of the fibrin-rich clots was significantly higher (82-127HU) compared to the RBC-rich clots (3-17HU). The compressive stiffness of the fibrin-rich clots was higher (178–1624 kPa) than the stiffness of the RBC-rich clots (6–526 kPa). Additionally, the degree of clot contraction was higher for the fibrin-rich clots (89–96%) compared to the RBC-rich clots (11–77%).

Conclusions
CT imaging clearly reflects clot RBC content and seems to be related to the clot contraction and stiffness. CT imaging might be a useful tool in predicting the thrombus characteristics. However, future studies should confirm these findings by analysing clots with intermediate RBC and platelet content.
“I can’t pose a whole heap of questions that I know I don’t have time to follow up”—Exploring perceptions of an adolescent transition program
Authors: Fløtten Kjersti J. Ø. , Aujoulat Isabelle , Wyller Vegard B. B. , Solevåg Anne Lee 
Published: November 2023

Background
Adolescent transition programs are patient education programs. They are geared towards enabling adolescents with chronic or long-term illnesses to become active partners in their health care and manage their own health. Although there is agreement about their importance, there is not an agreement on content or how they should be delivered. The study reported here was part of the first steps of an action research project.

Aim
Our aim was to explore how health professionals understand the program at our hospital, and their opinions of its implementation. This would advance our knowledge of the practice of the program to support its development.

Methods
We conducted semi-structured individual interviews with 18 physicians and nurses. Data were analysed using qualitative content analysis. In our discussion of the generated data, we use the theory of practice architectures as a lens.

Results and discussion
We generated four themes through the analysis, namely “We are (back) at scratch”, “Time is always an issue”, “Getting them ready for what is to come–transition as a synonym to transfer” and “Raising topics that go beyond medical issues”. Changes to a practice requires changes to the practice architectures. Practice architectures can both enable and constrain a practice. Our analysis suggests a need for a more unified perception of the program goals, the cultural-discursive arrangements. Health professionals see time as a significant barrier to implementation and changes to the material-economic arrangements are particularly called for, i.e., more time, space and staff to practice the program. These also tie into the social-political arrangements of the program.

Conclusion
There are arrangements in the practice architecture that currently seem to constrain the practice of the program. The practice is currently fragmented both within and across subspecialties. Efforts should be made to establish a more shared understanding of the program among health professionals. Furthermore, we should investigate how the practice of the program can be better supported.

Celem artykułu jest analiza wyjątku od zasady incompatibilitas, ustanowionego w art. 103 ust. 1 in fine Konstytucji RP, pozwalającego na łączenie mandatu parlamentarnego ze stanowiskami członka Rady Ministrów i sekretarza stanu w administracji rządowej. Analizie poddano uregulowanie zasady incompatibilitas w kontekście mandatu parlamentarnego i wyjątku od niej w Konstytucji RP oraz to, jak doktryna i orzecznictwo interpretują omawiany wyjątek. Poddano również ocenie pozytywne i negatywne aspekty możliwości łączenia funkcji w ramach władzy ustawodawczej i wykonawczej. Do badań zastosowano m.in. metodę dogmatycznoprawną oraz historyczną. Autor negatywnie ocenia ustanowienie omawianego wyjątku przez ustrojodawcę, jako niekorzystnego dla funkcjonowania władzy ustawodawczej. Postuluje jednocześnie wprowadzenie instytucji zawieszenia mandatu na czas zasiadania w rządzie, a także instytucji tzw. zastępcy, wykonującego obowiązki parlamentarzysty w miejsce członka rządu.
A Tide that Lifts Some Boats: Assessing the Macroeconomic Effects of EU Enlargement
Authors: Zonda Joe Maganga , Lin Chang-Ching , Chang Ming-Jen 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Based on two-country scenarios (entrants vs. incumbents), this paper employs the synthetic control method to quantify the macroeconomic effects of the European Union (EU) enlargement, and examines whether these effects varied before, during, and after economic crises. We find that enlargement effects are very complex, and significantly varied across economic cycles and the country groups. In particular, EU enlargement induced large and positive effects on the entrants which were merely stifled in the wake of the financial crisis and the subsequent euro crisis. In the interim, the 2004 enlargement triggered an instantaneous negative shock on the incumbents which was further exacerbated by the crises. Subsequently, the entrants recovered beyond their pre-crises gains, registering approximately 14 % higher per capita incomes by 2019, with Poland emerging as a clear winner. Meanwhile, incumbents’ per capita incomes have, on average, declined by approximately 9 %. While our findings largely support the notion that the entrants are en route to catching up with their incumbent counterparts, a formal β-convergence analysis exploiting the observed and synthetic data intuitively confirms that EU integration reduces the half-life by 50 %.

Population Age Structure and the Vulnerability of States to Coups d’État
Authors: Cincotta Richard 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
This essay responds to recent critiques of the U.S. State Department’s inconsistent application of congressionally mandated foreign-aid restrictions following several successful coups d’état in countries receiving USAID foreign assistance. This demographic analysis, which conforms to an age-structural modeling and forecasting protocol that was originally developed for U.S. strategic intelligence efforts, finds: (1.) a disproportionately high level of coup vulnerability (the probability of experiencing a successful coup) among youthful countries (median age equal to or less than 25.5 years), particularly among states in the early-youthful segment of this phase (median age equal to or less than 20.5 years); and (2.) a dramatic one-time decline in coup vulnerability among all phases of the age-structural transition following the end of the Cold War. This essay’s two-decade forecast of an expected gradual decline in coups is consistent with the slow and halting pace of age-structural change that is currently projected by the 2022 revision of the UN Population Division’s medium scenario for countries along the equatorial midriff of Africa, and in parts of the Middle East and southcentral Asia. These findings support an alternative criticism – not of the U.S. State Department’s reluctance to restrict foreign assistance to coup perpetrators, but of currently mandated restrictions that neglect to exempt USAID programs known to advance the age-structural transition (i.e. those that extend girls’ educational attainment, improve access to family planning and other reproductive health services, or expand women’s autonomy and rights).

Published: November 2023

Abstract
This study investigates the nonlinear vibration motions of the Euler–Bernoulli microbeam on a nonlinear elastic foundation in a uniform magnetic field based on Modified Couple Stress Theory (MCST). The effect of size, foundation, and magnetic field on the nonlinear vibration motion of microbeam has been examined. The governing equations related to the nonlinear vibration motions of the microbeam are obtained by using Hamilton’s Principle, and the Multiple Time Scale Method was used to obtain the solutions for the governing equations. The linear natural frequencies of microbeam are presented in the table according to nonlinear parameters and boundary conditions. The linear and nonlinear natural frequency ratio graphs are shown. The present study results are also compared with previous work for validation. It is observed that length scale parameters and magnetic force have a more significant effect on the natural frequency of microbeams. It is seen that when the linear elastic foundation coefficient, the Pasternak foundation and the magnetic force effects increase, the ratio of nonlinear and linear natural frequency decreases.
A novel adaptive sampling algorithm for cyber-physical systems
Authors: Molhem Mohammed 
Published: November 2023

AbstractSensors are the main components in Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS), which transmit large amounts of physical values and big data to computing platforms for processing. On the other hand, the embedded processors (as edge devices in fog computing) spend most of their time reading the sensor signals as compared with computing time. The impact of sensors on the performance of fog computing is very great, thus, the enhancement of the reading time of sensors will positively affect the performance of fog computing, and solves the CPS challenges such as delay, timed precision, temporal behavior, energy, and cost. In this paper, we propose an algorithm based on the 1st derivative of the sensor signal to generate an adaptive sampling frequency. The proposed algorithm uses an adaptive frequency to capture the sudden and rapid change in sensor signal in the steady state. Finally, we realize and tested it using the Ptolemy II Modeling Environment.

Destaca-se na metodologia a análise feita sobre os instrumentos de planejamento que lidam com o tema especificamente, também a política pública adotada pelo Programa Niterói de Bicicleta e confrontá-los com o espaço urbano da cidade e práticas cicláveis, pelo viés investigativo, empírico e crítico. A investigação segue agora motivada por articular as estratégias adotadas com a crescente e rápida movimentação de aplicativos de serviços de entrega, seu impacto nos espaços públicos, em especial na infraestrutura ciclo viária, e como tudo isso se insere na dinâmica econômica e urbana do município e nos modos de vida do cidadão. Como isso se manifesta e se articula a favor da bicicleta, investigando o alcance da infraestrutura, das políticas e do ativismo.
Study the Serum Levels of IL-17, IL-23, TLR-4, and TLR-7 Role in Immunopathogenesis in Patients with Moderate and Severe Psoriasis
Authors: Abdulla Hamad Abood  , Hassan Ali Hussein Al-Saadi  
Published: November 2023

Objective: Psoriasis is an immune-mediated disease* (a disease with an unclear cause that is characterized by inflammation caused by dysfunction of the immune system) that causes inflammation in the body. This study examined the relationship between immunological markers (IL-17 and TLR-4) and several socio-demographic parameters, including age, sex, disease severity, stress, smoking behaviours, BMI classification, and dietary preferences, in patients with psoriasis. Methods: Psoriasis on patients at the Imam Al-Hussein City Hospital in Karbala Province, Iraq, psoriasis from December 2022 to April 2023. The participants were healthy individuals and newly diagnosed, untreated psoriasis patients. Pregnant women, those with chronic conditions, and those receiving psoriasis medication were excluded. A case-control observational study was conducted, using convenience sampling to select participants. The PASI scoring method was used to evaluate four body areas, and the sandwich ELISA method was used for immunomarker analysis. Results: The study found significant dispirited in the severity of psoriasis among individuals, with 54.44% presenting with intermediate symptoms and 45.56% showed severe manifestations. The moderate and severe psoriasis patients were classified into five age cohorts. The severity of psoriasis correlates with age, with those with severe psoriasis being older. Socio-demographic features revealed a greater prevalence of moderate patients than those with severe psoriasis. The study also found a significant association between greater BMI values and severe symptoms, smoking behaviours, elevated stress levels, and higher consumption of processed foods. Immunological markers such as IL-17, IL-23, TLR-4, and TLR-7 were also examined, showed significant variations between control participants and those with moderate and severe forms of the condition. These findings contributed to understanding the determinants impacting psoriasis severity and its clinical implications for patient care and therapeutic interventions. Conclusion: Psoriasis patients make up a significant part of the study population, with higher smoking, stress, and healthy food habits. There was no significant difference in BMI, disease severity. of immunological markers IL-17, IL-23, TLR-4, and TLR-7 showed a significantly increase.
Kanser hastalarının erkek yakınları arasında kolon kanseri farkındalığı
Authors: KAYIKÇIOĞLU Erkan 
Published: November 2023

Amaç: Kolorektal kanser (KRK), önemli bir küresel sağlık sorunudur ve risk faktörleri, belirtiler ve tarama yöntemleri hakkında farkındalık, erken teşhis ve önleme için önemlidir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, bir tıbbi onkoloji polikliniğine gelen kanser hastalarının erkek yakınlarının KRK farkındalık düzeyini değerlendirmektir.
Gereç ve Yöntemler: Çalışmada kolon kanseri hastası yakını 192 erkek üzerinde bir anket yapıldı ve katılımcıların demografik bilgileri toplandı, KRK risk faktörleri, belirtiler ve tarama yöntemleri hakkındaki bilgileri değerlendirildi. İstatistiksel analizler IBM SPSS 26 versiyonu kullanılarak gerçekleştirildi.
Bulgular: Çalışmaya 192 kolon kanseri hastası yakını erkek dahil edildi. Katılımcıların yaş ortalaması 43.8±13.2 yıl (18-78) idi. Katılımcıların 149'u (%77.6) evliydi, 41'i (%21.4) bekar. Çalışma, katılımcılar arasında önemli bilgi eksikliklerini ortaya koydu. Katılımcıların çoğu yaşın KRK için bir risk faktörü olduğunu bilmekle birlikte, aile öyküsü, obezite, sigara içme ve sağlıksız beslenme gibi diğer önemli risk faktörleri konusunda sınırlı farkındalığa sahipti. Benzer şekilde, katılımcılar dışkıda gizli kan ve karın ağrısı gibi bazı KRK belirtilerinin farkındaydı, ancak siyah dışkı, anemi ve bulantı/kusma gibi diğer belirtiler hakkında bilgi eksikliği vardı. Eğitim seviyesi ile kilo fazlalığı, alkol tüketimi, kırmızı et tüketimi, siyah dışkı ve kanser belirtileri arasındaki fark istatistiksel olarak anlamlıydı (p0.05). KRK taraması ile ilgili orta düzeyde bir farkındalık gözlendi, ancak önerilen tarama yöntemleri ve uygun yaş konusunda yetersiz bilgi mevcuttu.
Sonuç: Bulgular, kolon kanseri hastalarının erkek yakınları arasında KRK farkındalığını artırmak için hedefe yönelik eğitim müdahalelerinin gerekliliğini vurgulamaktadır. Çalışmalar risk faktörleri, belirtiler ve tarama yöntemleri ile ilgili bilgi eksikliklerini ele almalıdır. Eğitim girişimleri, toplum tabanlı programlar, kitle iletişim araçları kampanyaları ve sağlık hizmeti sağlayıcılarının katılımını içermelidir. Bu şekilde, KRK anlayışının artırılması ve KRK taramalarına aktif katılımın teşvik edilmesi sağlanabilir.

<p style="text-align: justify;">Let <em>G</em> and <em>H</em> be two given graphs. The notation <em>F</em>→(<em>G,H</em>) means that any red-blue coloring on the edges of <em>F</em> will create either a red subgraph <em>G</em> or a blue subgraph <em>H</em> in <em>F</em>. A graph <em>F</em> is a Ramsey (<em>G,H</em>)-minimal graph if <em>F</em> satisfies two conditions: (1) <em>F→</em>(<em>G,H</em>), and (2) (<em>F</em>−<em>e</em>) ⇸ (<em>G,H</em>) for every <em>e </em>∈ <em>E</em>(<em>F</em>). Denote ℜ(<em>G,H</em>) as the set of all (<em>G,H</em>)-minimal graphs. In this paper we prove that a tree <em>T</em> is not in ℜ(<em>mK</em><sub>2</sub>,<em>bP</em><sub>n</sub>) if it has a diameter of at least <em>n</em>(<em>b+m</em>−1)−1 for <em>m,n,b</em>≥2, furthermore we show that (<em>b</em>+<em>m</em>−1)<em>P</em><sub>n</sub> ∈ ℜ(<em>mK</em><sub>2</sub>,<em>bP</em><sub>n</sub>) for every <em>m,n,b</em>≥2. We also prove that for <em>n</em>≥3, a cycle on <em>k</em> vertices is in ℜ(<em>mK</em><sub>2</sub>,<em>bP</em><sub>n</sub>) if and only if <em>k</em> ∈ [<em>n</em>(<em>b</em>+<em>m</em>−2)+1, <em>n</em>(<em>b</em>+<em>m</em>−1)−1].</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">A rainbow geodesic is a shortest path between two vertices where all edges are colored differently. An edge coloring in which any pair of vertices with distance up to <em>d</em>, where <em>d</em> is a positive integer that can be connected by a rainbow geodesic is called <em>d</em>-local strong rainbow coloring. The <em>d</em>-local strong rainbow connection number, denoted by <em>lsrc</em><sub>d</sub>(<em>G</em>), is the least number of colors used in <em>d</em>-local strong rainbow coloring. Suppose that <em>G</em> and <em>H</em> are graphs of order <em>m</em> and <em>n</em>, respectively. The corona product of <em>G</em> and <em>H</em>, <em>G </em>⊙ <em>H</em>, is defined as a graph obtained by taking a copy of <em>G</em> and <em>m</em> copies of <em>H</em>, then connecting every vertex in the <em>i</em>-th copy of <em>H</em> to the <em>i</em>-th vertex of <em>G</em>. In this paper, we will determine the <em>lsrc</em><sub>d</sub>(<em>C</em><sub>m</sub> ⊙ <em>C</em><sub>n</sub>) for <em>d</em>=2 and <em>d</em>=3.</p>
