Introduction: Cancer rates increase with age, and older cancer survivors have unique medical care needs, making assessment of health status and identification of appropriate supportive resources key to delivery of optimal cancer care. Comprehensive geriatric assessments (CGAs) help determine an older person’s functional capabilities as cancer care providers plan treatment and follow-up care. Despite its proven utility, research on implementation of CGA is lacking.Methods: Guided by a qualitative description approach and through interviews with primary care providers and oncologists, our goal was to better understand barriers and facilitators of CGA use and identify training and support needs for implementation. Participants were identified through Cancer Prevention and Control Research Network partner listservs and a national cancer and aging organization. Potential interviewees, contacted via email, were provided with a description of the study purpose. Eight semi-structured interviews were conducted via Zoom, recorded, and transcribed verbatim by a professional transcription service. The interview guide explored providers’ knowledge and use of CGAs. For codebook development, three representative transcripts were independently reviewed and coded by four team members. The interpretive process involved reflecting, transcribing, coding, and searching for and identifying themes.Results: Providers shared that, while it would be ideal to administer CGAs with all new patients, they were not always able to do this. Instead, they used brief screening tools or portions of CGAs, or both. There was variability in how CGA domains were assessed; however, all considered CGAs useful and they communicated with patients about their benefits. Identified facilitators of implementation included having clinic champions, an interdisciplinary care team to assist with implementation and referrals for intervention, and institutional resources and buy-in. Barriers noted included limited staff capacity and competing demands on time, provider inexperience, and misaligned institutional priorities.Discussion: Findings can guide solutions for improving the broader and more systematic use of CGAs in the care of older cancer patients. Uptake of processes like CGA to better identify those at risk of poor outcomes and intervening early to modify treatments are critical to maximize the health of the growing population of older cancer survivors living through and beyond their disease.

Published: December 2023

IntroductionVitamin A (VA) and its metabolite, retinoic acid (RA) possess several biological functions. This report investigated whether neonatal intramuscular VA injection affected antioxidative activity and meat quality in longissimus dorsi (LD) muscle of lambs.MethodsLambs were injected with 0 (control) or 7,500 IU VA palmitate into the biceps femoris muscle on day 2 after birth. At 3, 12, and 32 weeks of age, blood samples were collected in the jugular vein for serum levels of RA and muscle samples were collected in the biceps femoris for analysis of relative mRNA expression of enzyme contributors to retinoid metabolism. All animals were harvested at 32 weeks of age and muscle samples were collected to explore the role of VA on the meat quality and antioxidant capacity of lambs.Results and discussionOur results indicated that VA increased the redness, crude protein, and crude fat (p &lt; 0.05), without affecting moisture, ash, and amino acid composition in LD muscle (p &gt; 0.05). In addition, VA increased catalase (CAT) activity and decreased malondialdehyde (MDA) levels in LD muscle (p &lt; 0.05). Meanwhile, greater levels of CAT and NRF2 mRNA and protein contents with VA treatment were observed in LD muscle (p &lt; 0.05), partly explained by the increased level of RA (p &lt; 0.05). Collectively, our findings indicated that VA injection at birth could improve lamb meat quality by elevating the redness, crude protein, crude fat, and antioxidative capacity in LD muscle of lambs.

Published: December 2023

With the prevalence of systemic fungal infections caused by Candida albicans and non-albicans species and their resistance to classical antifungals, there is an urgent need to explore alternatives. Herein, we evaluate the impact of the monoterpene carvacrol, a major component of oregano and thyme oils, on clinical and laboratory strains of C. albicans and Nakaseomyces glabratus. Carvacrol induces a wide range of antifungal effects, including the inhibition of growth and hyphal and biofilm formation. Using biochemical and microscopic approaches, we elucidate carvacrol-induced hyphal inhibition. The significantly reduced survival rates following exposure to carvacrol were accompanied by dose-dependent vacuolar acidification, disrupted membrane integrity, and aberrant morphology. Germ tube assays, used to elucidate the relationship between vacuolar dysfunction and hyphal inhibition, showed that carvacrol significantly reduced hyphal formation, which was accompanied by a defective C. albicans morphology. Thus, we show a link between vacuolar acidification/disrupted vacuole membrane integrity and compromised candidal morphology/morphogenesis, demonstrating that carvacrol exerts its anti-hyphal activity by altering vacuole integrity.
Flowing Time: Emergentism and Linguistic Diversity
Authors: Jaszczolt Kasia M. 
Published: December 2023

Humans are complex systems, ‘macro-entities’, whose existence, behaviour and consciousness stem out of the configurations of physical entities on the micro-level of the physical world. But an explanation of what humans do and think cannot be found through ‘tracking us back’, so to speak, to micro-particles. So, in explaining human behaviour, including linguistic behaviour on which this paper focuses, emergentism opens up a powerful opportunity to explain what it is exactly that emerged on that level, bearing in mind the end product in the form of the intra- and inter-cultural diversity. Currently there is a gap in emergentism research. On one hand, there are discussions in philosophy of the emergent human reality; on the other, there are discussions of social, cultural, or individual variation of these emergent aspects of humanity in the fields of anthropology, sociology, linguistics or psychology. What I do in this paper is look for a way to ‘trace’ some such diversified emergents from what is universal about their ‘coming to being’, all the way through to their diversification. My chosen emergent is human time, my domain of inquiry is natural-language discourse, and the drive behind this project is to understand the link between ‘real’ time of spacetime on the micro-level from which we emerged and the human time devised by us, paying close attention to the overwhelming diversity in which temporal reference is expressed in human languages. The main question is, where does this diversity fit in? Does understanding of this diversity, as well as of what lurks under the surface of this diversity, aid the emergentism story? My contribution to this volume on ‘the nature of structure and the structure of nature’ thus takes the following take on the title. The structure of human communication is at the same time uniform, universal, and relative to culture, in that it is emergent as a human characteristic, and as such compatible with the micro-level correlates in some essential ways, but also free to fly in different directions that are specific to societies and cultures. I explore here the grey area between the micro-level and the linguistic reflections of time—the middle ground that is emergent itself but that tends to be by-passed by those who approach the question of human flowing time from either end: metaphysics and the philosophy of time on the one hand, and contrastive linguistics, anthropological linguistics and language documentation on the other. I illustrate the debate with examples from tensed and tenseless languages from different language families, entertaining the possibility of a conceptual universal pertaining to time as degrees of epistemic modality. Needless to say, putting the question in this way also sets out my (not unassailable) methodology.
Un nouveau manuscrit de l’Ovide Moralisé. Ms. Florence, Biblioteca Medicea Laurenziana, Acquisti e Doni 442
Authors: Endress Laura 
Published: December 2023

The focus of this contribution is to present a new manuscript of the Ovide moralisé
that has remained unknown to previous critical research. In addition to a codicological description, observations on the iconography and history of the codex and an overview of its contents, the article provides observations on the position of the manuscript within the textual tradition of the Ovide moralisé, comprising twenty other known witnesses. By analyzing the textual variants as well as the Latin and French glosses found in the margins of the manuscript, it is possible to assess that the witness is related to at least two different stemmatic groups, seemingly changing textual models at specific points in the text.

Entre les lignes des textes de plusieurs lectionnaires, se trouvent des signes similaires aux neumes qui sont souvent ignorés. Ces signes mélodiques de lecture fonctionnent avec la ponctuation pour aider les lecteurs à déterminer où et comment aborder les cadences mélodiques qui signalent les fins de phrases. En s’appuyant sur les manuscrits d’exemplar dominicains d’environ 1260 — les plus vieilles sources comprenant ces signes ainsi que la notation sur portée montrant comment conclure différents types de phrases— cet article indique dans un premier temps la fonction de chaque signe, révélant ainsi comment leur emploi est lié à la lecture des leçons de Messe. Basé sur une étude de plus de soixante manuscrits utilisés pour la lection publique, cet article suit, dans un second temps, l’émergence de ces signes du Haut
Moyen Âge et étudie leur systématisation dans les livres cisterciens, dominicains et d’Usage de Sarum.

METHOD FOR IMPROVING NOISE IMMUNITY BY INTEGRATING CODING/DECODING AND DIVERSE RECEPTION OF TELEMETRY DATA
Authors: Воронцов В.Л. 
Published: December 2023

Представлен способ повышения помехоустойчивости данных телеизмерений, заключающийся в формировании на телеметрируемом объекте блоков, содержащих как информационные данные телеизмерений, так и соответствующие им проверочные разряды установленного кода, причём информационные данные передают в режиме непосредственной передачи, а данные проверочных разрядов – через бортовое запоминающее устройство, работающее в режиме линии задержки. Применена технология кодирования/декодирования, позволяющая в случаях относительно длительных временны х интервалов с потерями телеметрической информации в каналах «борт-Земля» (вследствие искажения данных помехами) восстанавливать информационные данные при декодировании данных телеизмерений, принятых наземными программнотехническими средствами.
A method for improving noise immunity of telemetry data is presented. The method consists in forming blocks with information data of telemetry and the corresponding data blocks of check bits of the set code on a telemetered object. Moreover, information data are transmitted in the direct transmission mode, and check bit data are transmitted through the onboard memory operating in the «delay line» mode. The coding/decoding technology is applied, that allows restoring information data when decoding telemetry data received by earth-based software and hardware facilities, in cases of relatively long time intervals with losses of telemetry information in downlink channels (due to data distortion by interference).

Published: December 2023

Статья посвящена вопросам кэширования в сетях именованных данных (Named Data Networking, NDN), направленных на адресацию контента по имени и отделение информации от еёузла-производителя. Внутрисетевое кэширование является одной из главных особенностей сетей NDN, превращая их, по сути, в сеть взаимосвязанных кэшей, способных накапливать пакеты в буфере промежуточных маршрутизаторов, а также приближать их к потребителю с помощью кэширования на границе сети. Эффективность системы кэширования контента зависит от многих факторов, рассмотренных в статье: закона популярности и стратегии репликации контента, размера и политики вытеснения кэша. Для распространения и кэширования информации на периферийном роутере приведен оригинальный алгоритм, позволяющий эффективно хранить в кэше популярный контент, который превосходит традиционные подходы по нескольким метрикам (попадание кэша, задержка и др.) Моделирование работы такого алгоритма для сценария автомобильной самоорганизующейся сети проведено в сетевом симуляторе ndnSIM.
The paper is devoted to the issues of caching in Named Data Networking (NDN), aimed at addressing content by name and separating information from its producer node. In-network caching is one of the main features of NDN networks, turning them, in fact, into a network of interconnected caches capable of accumulating packets in the buffer of intermediate routers, as well as bring them closer to the consumer with the help of caching at the edge of the network. The effectiveness of a content caching system depends on many factors discussed in the paper: the popularity law and content replication strategy, cache size and cache eviction policies. For information distribution and caching at the edge router, we present an original algorithm that allows efficient caching of popular content, which outperforms traditional approaches in several metrics (cache hit, latency, etc.). Modeling of the performance of such an algorithm for the scenario of a vehicular ad-hoc network is performed in the ndnSIM network simulator.

После проведения общей постановки задачи анализа характеристик двухканальной системы массового обслуживания М/М/v=2 с потерями выполнен анализ распределения времени неполной загрузки в стационарном режиме, плотности распределения времени блуждания в возможных состояниях, переходных вероятностей между возможными состояниями и вероятности распределения случайной величины времени в группе возможных состояний. Результаты анализа этих основных характеристик для системы массового обслуживания М/М/v=2 с потерями позволяют наряду с частными выводами по каждой анализируемой характеристике получить общесистемную закономерность в виде проявления золотого сечения в прямом или косвенном виде, которая позволяет в ряде случаев получить более простые математические модели и частично их унифицировать.
After carrying out the general formulation of the problem of analyzing the characteristics of a two-channel queuing system with losses, the analysis of the distribution of the incomplete load time in the stationary mode, the density of the distribution of the wandering time in possible states, the transition probabilities between possible states, and the probability of the distribution of a random variable of time in a group of possible states is done. The results of the analysis of these main characteristics for a queuing system with losses allow, along with particular conclusions for each analyzed characteristic, to obtain a system-wide pattern in the form of a manifestation of the golden section in direct or indirect form, which allows in some cases to obtain more simplified mathematical models and partially unify them.

Exploring Simple Addictive Weighting (SAW) for Decision-Making
Authors: Khoiry I'tishom Al , Amelia Dhea Rizky 
Published: December 2023

The Simple Additive Weighting (SAW) method is a well-known and widely utilized approach for decision-making in various disciplines. The SAW method involves a step-by-step process that enables decision-makers to evaluate and rank alternatives based on their respective attribute values and assigned weights. Within this context, this paper aims to provide a comprehensive exploration of SAW for decision-making. This study demonstrates the utilization of the SAW method in supplier selection, which aims to streamline and optimize the supply chain management process for organizational business.The resultsderived from the study have revealed its practicality, effectiveness, and adaptability in handling multi-criteria decision problems, by examining its principles, advantages, limitations, and application based on real situations. It's important to note that the method's reliance on accurate weight assignment to criteria poses a challenge. This process can be subjective and intricate, especially when faced with conflicting objectives. However, SAW stands as a valuable addition to the decision-maker's toolkit, providing a structured and transparent framework for making well-informed choices amidst complexity.
