AbstractThe past two decades have witnessed rapid advances in the use of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites in different engineering fields. Advantages such as high strength-to-weight ratio, corrosion resistance, and tailority have led to immense interest in the use of FRPs in wide spectrum repair and strengthening of structures. Despite their many advantages, FRPs are highly sensitive to high temperatures, which pose a major concern for fire potential structures such as buildings. Applying proper thermal insulation can enhance the fire performance of FRP and reduce the possible fire damage to the FRP strengthened element. This study set out to experimentally investigate the effectiveness of two insulation systems, “FIRECOAT” and “REALROCK” on fire performance of CFRP and GFRP strengthened concrete specimens. Various configurations and exposure durations were considered to evaluate the effectiveness of insulating materials. To perform the experiments, cylindrical concrete specimens were fabricated and strengthened using CFRP or GFRP. After insulating the specimens, they were exposed to a standard fire curve for two different durations of 30 and 60 min. The results indicate that less than 30 min of fire, both insulation systems can provide the required protection. During long exposure duration of 60 min, only REALROCK can provide the required thermal resistance for FRP-strengthened concrete. Within the tested materials, Fire Set 60 outperformed other insulating materials. It was observed that implementing Fire Set 60 in the innermost layer of thermal insulations has crucial importance in preventing the fire induced reductions in strength of FRP-strengthened concrete elements.
Approach to the Patient: Insulinoma

Abstract
Insulinomas are hormone-producing pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms with an estimated incidence of 1 to 4 cases per million per year. Extrapancreatic insulinomas are extremely rare. Most insulinomas present with the Whipple triad: (1) symptoms, signs, or both consistent with hypoglycemia; (2) a low plasma glucose measured at the time of the symptoms and signs; and (3) relief of symptoms and signs when the glucose is raised to normal. Nonmetastatic insulinomas are nowadays referred to as “indolent” and metastatic insulinomas as “aggressive.” The 5-year survival of patients with an indolent insulinoma has been reported to be 94% to 100%; for patients with an aggressive insulinoma, this amounts to 24% to 67%. Five percent to 10% of insulinomas are associated with the multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 syndrome. Localization of the insulinoma and exclusion or confirmation of metastatic disease by computed tomography is followed by endoscopic ultrasound or magnetic resonance imaging for indolent, localized insulinomas. Glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor positron emission tomography/computed tomography or positron emission tomography/magnetic resonance imaging is a highly sensitive localization technique for seemingly occult, indolent, localized insulinomas. Supportive measures and somatostatin receptor ligands can be used for to control hypoglycemia. For single solitary insulinomas, curative surgical excision remains the treatment of choice. In aggressive malignant cases, debulking procedures, somatostatin receptor ligands, peptide receptor radionuclide therapy, everolimus, sunitinib, and cytotoxic chemotherapy can be valuable options.
Who Seeks and Shares Fact-Checking Information? Within the Context of COVID-19 in South Korea
Authors: Seo Jungsun , Lee Jee Yeon 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Fact-checking information (FCI) serves in the fight against the infodemic and as an information service that helps people use their discretion in judging information in a post-truth era. Therefore, we investigated personal factors influencing users’ decisions in using and sharing COVID-19-related FCI in South Korea. The study took three steps to build hypotheses and collect data: a theoretical approach; an empirical approach through in-depth interviews; and an online survey amongst 304 information users who reside in Korea. More strictly, the interview data were analyzed through content analysis, and the online survey data were statistically analyzed using a SPSS 25.0 program. In conclusion, the study revealed that previous political FCI user research ignored health belief variables (health consciousness, perceived severity, and perceived susceptibility), which also influenced FCI usage. Moreover, critical prosuming literacy, a key predictor of sharing and disseminating misinformation, has a strong causal relationship with FCI seeking and sharing. The findings expand the notion of fact-checking from a type of journalism to “information” and “information services” and suggest that fact-checking has the potential to become an expanded information service in which experts in broader areas can participate.
An Appraisal of Christoph Schwöbel’s Trinitarian Theology of Creation in Dialogue with Natural Sciences
Authors: Kim Junghyung 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
In this article I explore Christoph Schwöbel (1955–2021)’s distinctive contributions to the ongoing dialogue between religion and science in the following three perspectives. First, he emphasizes the need of a more consistently trinitarian theology of creation in dialogue with sciences which is expected to rectify widespread one-sided approaches. Second, he advocates for the continued importance of having philosophy as theology’s dialogue partner along with natural sciences. Finally, he places significant emphasis on the ethic of createdness in the face of ecological crisis. After critical as well as appreciative analyses of each of Schwöbel’s contributions, I make constructive proposals for the future discussion, in terms of more direct engagement with natural sciences, fuller explication of the ontology of communicative relations, and extended application of his ethic of createdness to the emerging issues concerning recent technological innovations.

Published: November 2023

The number of people with disabilities and frailties who need support and assistance is increasing. Assistive technologies (ATs) are increasingly playing a central role in supporting people with disabilities and frailties. The study investigated the impact of the ATs on the websites of the UN, UNICEF, and WHO in terms of proposed activities and actions. The methodology proposed was based on two points of view: (1) A formal process to directly select elements in the institutional webs of the UN, UNICEF, and WHO. (2) A formal process for a complementary literature narrative review based on an umbrella review of Pubmed and Scopus. A standard checklist and a qualification process were applied. The outcome reported 35 documents from the direct search on the web and 19 systematic reviews for the complimentary literature overview. The direct search returned documents related to initiatives focused on the following: The tailoring of the ATs to a person based on international guidelines and specific monitoring initiatives of the AT introduction/access based on surveys both at the population and system/government level with the publication of the data/metadata in an observatory. Dissemination initiatives of both the culture of ATs (e.g., catalog, guidelines, reports, congresses) and of recommendations. The literature overview contributed more specifically to the use and effectiveness of categories of ATs. Both direct research and the literature overview have shown a consistent growth in interest in ATs. The initiatives of the UN, UNICEF, and WHO have been consistent with the institutional role and aimed at improving the diffusion of ATs through capillary monitoring, which is not free from obstacles, and a diffusion of the culture and rational use of ATs. The narrative review shows also the important role of research in monitoring the development, use, and effectiveness of devices, strategies, and support of international institutional initiatives. Important initiatives have been launched internationally on AT in terms of monitoring, dissemination, and improvement in access. However, it is necessary to consider and face the obstacles that limit these initiatives.

Кравченко В. М., Іщенко А. О., Рассохін Д. О., Носовська О. В., Капустін С. В. Методика визначення оптимального часу діагностування елементів прокатного обладнання
Розроблена методика оптимізації часу діагностування груп елементів прокатного обладнання, які в процесі експлуатації виходять з ладу в результаті зношування, втомних явищ і т.п. Зокрема це, насамперед, відноситься к виходу з ладу підшипників кочення та пар тертя прокатних станів, рольгангів та інших машин усього комплексу прокатної лінії. Крім того схильні до цих пошкоджень зубчаті колеса редукторів відповідальних механізмів, наприклад, натискного пристрою прокатної кліті, шестеренних клітей приводу прокатного стана. Діагностика комплексу таких елементів потребує значних витрат часу та не завжди можлива в умовах прокатного виробництва. Саме з цієї причини з’явилась необхідність в оптимізації часу чергового діагностування в залежності від прийнятих за основу законів розподілу швидкості змінення показників накопичення пошкоджень, які визначаються шляхом фіксації статистичних даних по елементам прокатного обладнання. В свою чергу, ці статистичні дані повинні враховувати результати замін елементів прокатного обладнання, що вийшли з ладу, та корегувати ці статистичні дані згідно зі змінами, що відбулися. Така заміна передбачає виділення елементів прокатного обладнання, які не забезпечують роботу обладнання внаслідок пошкоджуваності і в той же час формує вектор розподілення елементів, заміна яких доцільна. Як наслідок такої заміни виникає необхідність формування вектора розподілення по накопиченню пошкоджуваності у знову встановлених елементів. Для подальшого розгляду питання вірогідності пошкоджуваності елементів необхідно використання закону розподілення швидкості накопичення пошкоджуваності та його параметрів методом математичної статистики. Отримані результати у вигляді методики оптимізації можуть бути використані для підвищення ефективності сервісного обслуговування прокатного обладнання, вичерпання ресурсів якого може бути оцінено засобами технічної діагностики.

Hypoxia-inducible factor-1 alpha (HIF-1α) is a transcription factor that plays a crucial role in cellular responses to hypoxia, such as in the development of intimal hyperplasia, a common complication in arteriovenous fistula (AVF) creation. While the application of umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (UC-MSCs) has shown promise in various regenerative medicine applications, including tissue repair and angiogenesis, the effect of UC-MSCs on HIF-1α level in the AVF has not been tested. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of UC-MSCs administration on HIF-1α levels in the AVF animal model. An experimental study was conducted on 28 local male rabbits (Lepus domestica) using a post-test-only design. The rabbits were divided randomly into four groups: normal rabbit group (negative control), placebo-treated AVF rabbit group (positive control), AVF rabbits treated with in-situ UC-MSCs injection (one dose, 106 UC-MSCs/kg body weight), and AVF rabbits treated with intravenous UC-MSCs (one dose, 106 UC-MSCs/kg body weight (BW). HIF-1α level was measured using ELISA method after 28 days post- treatment. All data were analyzed using the one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and continued with the Duncan’s post-hoc test. The data indicated that the levels of HIF-1α were different among all four groups (p<0.001). The post-hoc analysis revealed that the HIF-1α levels in both UC-MSC treated groups were significantly lower compared to untreated AVF rabbits(p<0.05). This study suggests that UC-MSCs could be a promising therapy to prevent and reduce intimal hyperplasia in AVF.

Authors: Pachucho-Flores Ana Pamela , Chicaiza-Almachi Evelyn Cristina 
Published: November 2023

Introduction: the perception of the level of adherence to hypertensive treatment in adults refers to the extent to which patients follow medical indications and take their medications as prescribed by health professionals. Objective: to analyze adherence to antihypertensive treatment in adults by means of a quali-quantitative study during the months of May and June in order to create strategies aimed at preventing short-term complications in primary health care. Methods: the study carried out adopted a mixed quali-quantitative, phenomenological, cross-sectional, cross-sectional approach during the months of May and June of the present year, with a population of 26 people with census sampling using semi-structured interviews, informed consent and the Morisky-Green questionnaire. Results: according to the study carried out, most of the people suffering from arterial hypertension are female, married, between 30 and 60 years of age, and most of them are engaged in domestic chores. Both men and women with this pathology, according to the surveys, do not adapt to follow the pharmacological treatment; however, they do not abandon it because they know the importance of having a better quality of life. Conclusion: the analysis of the present study was based on adherence to antihypertensive treatment in adults at the Martínez Health Center in which the suggested strategy is to educate the population more about the importance of adherence to antihypertensive treatment
Antimicrobial, Antioxidant, and Anti‐Inflammatory Nanoplatform for Effective Management of Infected Wounds

Published: November 2023

AbstractBurn wound healing continues to pose significant challenges due to excessive inflammation, the risk of infection, and impaired tissue regeneration. In this regard, an antibacterial, antioxidant, and anti‐inflammatory nanocomposite (called HPA) that combines a nanosystem using hexachlorocyclotriphosphazene and the natural polyphenol of Phloretin with silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) is developed. HPA effectively disperses AgNPs to mitigate any toxicity caused by aggregation while also showing the pharmacological activities of Phloretin. During the initial stage of wound healing, HPA rapidly releases silver ions from its surface to suppress bacterial activity. Moreover, these nanoparticles are pH‐sensitive and degrade efficiently in the acidic infection microenvironment, gradually releasing Phloretin. This sustained release of Phloretin helps scavenge overexpressed reactive oxygen species in the infected microenvironment area, thus reducing the upregulation of pro‐inflammatory cytokines. The antibacterial activity, free radical clearance, and regulation of inflammatory factors of HPA through in vitro experiments are validated. Additionally, its effects using an infectious burn mouse model in vivo are evaluated. HPA is found to promote collagen deposition and epithelialization in the wound area. With its synergistic antibacterial, antioxidant, and anti‐inflammatory activities, as well as favorable biocompatibilities, HPA shows great promise as a safe and effective multifunctional nanoplatform for burn injury wound dressings.
Information conveyed by management zones and optimal soybean seeding rate

Published: November 2023

AbstractThe application of variable rate seeding (VRS) enables soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] growers to allocate seed more efficiently on heterogeneous farmland and thus potentially increases profit by reducing seed cost and/or increasing yield. Successful implementation of VRS depends on the appropriate division of management zones where producers apply different seeding rates. We construct an economic conceptual model for evaluating the information conveyed by management zones. The model implies that distinct management zones should differ by marginal seed productivity when evaluated at the same seeding rate. Based on this model and a dataset collected from 10 on‐farm trials in Ohio and Michigan in 2017 and 2018, we implement a quadratic model regression analysis describing yield response to seeding rate. Results show that management zones in four out of 10 trials do not display statistically significant differences in marginal seed productivity. The small differences across management zones could result from the soybean plant's ability to compensate for yield due to fewer plants by increasing branches per plant and/or from inappropriately identified management zones. The estimated profit gains from applying VRS across the 10 trials vary from $0.20 to $30.60 ha−1. We also find that increasing seeding rate and mean yield decreases yield variability and yield skewness. Overall, the difference in marginal seed productivity is crucial for the appropriate determination of VRS management zones.
Examining citizenship regimes in Assam through a structural and cultural violence lens
Authors: Dutta Urmitapa , Azad Abdul Kalam , Tanjeem Najifa 
Published: November 2023

AbstractIn this paper, we examine citizenship crisis in the Northeast Indian state of Assam through the lenses of structural and cultural violence. In 2019, close to two million people in Assam were disenfranchised by updating the National Register of Citizens (NRC). The vast majority of those disenfranchised are Miya people who have been subjected to legacies of persecution and violence since the early 19th century during British colonial rule. We map the contours of the citizenship crisis by centering the struggles of Miya communities who are most deeply impacted by violent citizenship regimes. Using a structural and cultural violence lens, we elucidate the linkages between colonial histories, (post)colonial policies, and institutional practices on the one hand and Miya people's everyday struggles on the other. Across these analyses, we demonstrate how current citizenship regimes operate as a form of state‐sanctioned violence against Miya people. The implications of these analyses for rethinking contemporary notions of citizenship and belonging for community‐engaged scholarship are discussed.
