Healthy lifestyle counseling, and barriers perceived by general practitioners in Poland
Authors: Znyk Małgorzata , Kaleta Dorota 
Published: October 2023

IntroductionThe aim of the study was to determine the influence of the personal factors, such as body mass index (BMI), of general practitioners (GPs), and their counseling on weight management, healthy lifestyle, and their perceived barriers.Materials and methodsThe cross-sectional study was conducted from January 2020 to December 2021 among 161 GPs in the city of Lodz.ResultsOnly 3.7% of physicians always advised their patients on diet and physical activity (p &lt; 0.05). Most of the GPs (54%) provide counseling occasionally. GPs gave general advice more often to patients with chronic diseases than to patients who did not. The study showed that the chance of providing advice on eating habits or physical activity was significantly higher for the GPs who practiced physical activity (OR = 2.64; 95%Cl: 1.01–6.91, p &lt; 0.05) and measured patient weight, height, and BMI (OR = 4.86; 95%Cl: 1.86–12.67, p &lt; 0.001). GPs who were overweight (OR = 3.55; 95%Cl: 1.49–8.41, p &lt; 0.01) and measured patient weight, height, and BMI (OR = 3.61; 95%Cl: 1.58–8.25, p &lt; 0.01) were more likely to advise on nutrition or physical activity to “healthy” patients. Doctors who measured patient weight, height, and BMI advised patients with chronic diseases (OR = 6.45; 95%Cl: 2.54–16.34, p &lt; 0.001). Over 40% of GPs believe that they are not effective in counseling. Lack of time turned out to be the main barrier to counseling for 73.3% of GPs, which was associated with heavy workload (&gt;100 visits per week).ConclusionAs many GPs doubt their effectiveness, it is recommended that GPs attend more training activities regarding counseling. In addition, organizational changes are needed to reduce patient numbers, and financial incentives are needed to improve counseling and patient measurement.
Distributed control for geometric pattern formation of large-scale multirobot systems
Authors: Giusti Andrea , Maffettone Gian Carlo , Fiore Davide , Coraggio Marco , di Bernardo Mario 
Published: September 2023

Introduction: Geometric pattern formation is crucial in many tasks involving large-scale multi-agent systems. Examples include mobile agents performing surveillance, swarms of drones or robots, and smart transportation systems. Currently, most control strategies proposed to achieve pattern formation in network systems either show good performance but require expensive sensors and communication devices, or have lesser sensor requirements but behave more poorly.Methods and result: In this paper, we provide a distributed displacement-based control law that allows large groups of agents to achieve triangular and square lattices, with low sensor requirements and without needing communication between the agents. Also, a simple, yet powerful, adaptation law is proposed to automatically tune the control gains in order to reduce the design effort, while improving robustness and flexibility.Results: We show the validity and robustness of our approach via numerical simulations and experiments, comparing it, where possible, with other approaches from the existing literature.
Safety of early Hartmann reversal during adjuvant chemotherapy in colorectal cancer: a pilot study
Authors: Kim Dong Ha , Lee Kyung-Ha 
Published: September 2023

IntroductionMost patients undergoing the Hartmann procedure for complicated colorectal cancer require chemotherapy because of their advanced status. Stoma created during the procedure is typically closed after the completion of postoperative chemotherapy. However, stomas can induce medical or surgical complications and disturb quality of life. This study aimed to evaluate the safety of Hartmann's reversal during postoperative chemotherapy.MethodsWe conducted a retrospective review of electronic medical records. Between 2017 and 2021, 96 patients underwent Hartmann reversal for after colorectal cancer surgery. Among them, the number of patients who underwent Hartmann procedure with radical resection of complicated colorectal cancer and Hartmann reversal during adjuvant chemotherapy was 13. The clinical, surgical, and pathological characteristics of the patients were evaluated.ResultsEight and five patients had obstructions and perforations, respectively. Two patients with synchronous liver metastases underwent simultaneous liver resection and reversal simultaneously. Five and eight patients received adjuvant chemotherapy with capecitabine and FOLFOX, respectively. The median interval between the Hartmann procedure and reversal was 3.31 months (2.69–5.59). The median operative time for Hartmann's reversal was 190 min (100–335). The median hospital stay was 10 days (7–21). Four patients (30.8%) developed postoperative complications, and the rate of 3 or higher grade according to the Clavien-Dindo classification within 90 days postoperatively was 0%. Except for 1 patient who refused continuation of chemotherapy, 12 patients completed the planned chemotherapy. Median total duration of adjuvant chemotherapy was 6.78 months (5.98–8.48). There was no mortality.ConclusionEarly Hartmann reversal during adjuvant chemotherapy is tolerable and safe in carefully selected patients. In particular, it can be used as a therapeutic option for patients with complicated colorectal cancer with synchronous resectable metastases.

Published: October 2023

IntroductionTrifolium pratense L. has anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, cardiovascular disease prevention, and estrogen-like effects. The existing method for the assay of effective components is commonly based on a spectrophotometer, which could not meet the requirement of quality control. Furthermore, although there have been many studies on the anti-inflammation effect of red clover, a few have been reported on the regulatory effect of red clover isoflavones (RCI) on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced inflammatory response in porcine alveolar macrophages (3D4/2 cells), and its mechanism of action is still unclear.MethodsThe main components of RCI including daidzein, genistein, and biochanin A were accurately quantified by high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with diode array detection (HPLC-DAD) after optimizing the extraction process through response surface methodology. The anti-inflammatory potential of RCI was carried out by detecting the level of inflammatory cytokines and mRNA expression of related genes. Furthermore, its anti-inflammatory mechanism was explored by investigating two signaling pathways (NF-κB and MAPK).ResultsThe optimal extraction conditions of RCI were as follows: the concentration of ethanol is 86% and the solid–liquid ratio is 1:29, with the herb particle size of 40 mesh sieve. Under the optimal conditions, the total extraction of target components of RCI was 2,641.469 μg/g. The RCI could significantly suppress the production and expression of many pro-inflammatory cytokines. The results of the Western blot revealed that RCI dramatically reduced the expression of p65, p-p65, IκB-α, p38, and p-p38. These results are associated with the suppression of the signal pathway of p38 MAPK, and on the contrary, activating the NF-κB pathway. Collectively, our data demonstrated that RCI reversed the transcription of inflammatory factors and inhibited the expression of p65, p-p65, IκB-α, and p38, indicating that RCI had excellent anti-inflammatory properties through disturbing the activation of p38 MAPK and NF-κB pathways.ConclusionThe extraction conditions of RCI were optimized by HPLC-DAD combined with response surface methodology, which will contribute to the quality control of RCI. RCI had anti-inflammatory effects on the LPS-induced 3D4/2 cells. Its mechanism is to control the activation of NF-κB and p38 MAPK pathways, thereby reducing the expression of inflammatory-related genes and suppressing the release of cytokines.

Published: October 2023

O Programa Nacional de Controle da Tuberculose (PNCT) utiliza a baciloscopia de escarro como técnica padrão ouro para o diagnóstico da Tuberculose (TB) pulmonar, sendo ela a principal e mais acessível ferramenta para o diagnóstico da tuberculose. Apesar de sua fácil execução, a falta de padronização mundial na execução da técnica ou ainda os fatores envolvidos com a qualidade de corantes e reagentes, e até mesmo o fator humano influenciam no resultado final dos exames, sendo necessário um mecanismo efetivo para garantir a qualidade da baciloscopia da rede nacional de laboratórios. Neste sentido este estudo objetivou analisar as publicações científicas referentes à gestão do Programa de controle da Tuberculose no tocante à identificação de sintomáticos respiratórios (SR) e diagnóstico, e ao controle de qualidade das lâminas de baciloscopia, assim como discutir seus entraves na realidade do SUS no Brasil. Trata-se de uma uma revisão integrativa da literatura disponível nas bases da Scielo, Meline e LILACS acerca do tema. Foram selecionados 19 artigos para esta revisão. Em estudo realizado em Belém foi verificado que a identificação dos SR não parece ser prioridade nas UBSs da capital paraense, pois essa identificação foi feita fora da UBS em 72% dos casos. Considerando que a identificação de SR e solicitação de baciloscopia são atitudes chave na APS no sentido da identificação de casos, este resultado demonstra uma baixa detecção de SR, o que dificulta consequentemente o diagnóstico precoce dos casos. Quanto à avaliação das características do Esfregaço e Coloração, estudo realizado em Belém, no Pará, constatou esfregaços inadequados em sua maioria, cujo menor percentual de adequabilidade obtido foi de 28,1 % e o maior percentual foi de 67,5%, em oposição a estudo realizado em São Paulo que obteve apenas 25,8 % dos esfregaços insatisfatórios e 74,2 % dos esfregaços considerados satisfatórios. O controle de qualidade realizado pelos Laboratórios centrais ainda necessita de maior adesão por parte da rede laboratorial. Espera-se que com a reflexão do cenário nacional aqui apresentada este estudo sirva de estímulo a estudos futuro além de melhorias na gestão do programa de TB daqueles que tiverem acesso ao texto, assim como na maior adesão ao controle externo de qualidade e consequente incremento no diagnostico precoce efetivo nos municípios do Brasil, no âmbito da Atenção Primária à Saúde. Deseja-se ainda a realização de estudos acerca do controle de qualidade de baciloscopias e consequente alcance de melhores índices de detecção e acompanhamento do agravo na região, seja subsidiando a solicitação de treinamento para os laboratórios municipais, seja possibilitando a reflexão dos profissionais sobre suas práticas.

Published: October 2023

Objectives: This sociolinguistic study aims to explore Kabyle immigrants’ perspectives of and attitudes towards their home language (Kabyle) and the language of the host country (French). It also investigates the effects of gender and age on their attitudes towards and maintenance of their home language.
Methods: To achieve these objectives, an online questionnaire adapted from Al-Rahal (2014) was distributed to 60 Kabyle immigrants (30 males and 30 females) aged between 18 and 78 in the French language. The data were analyzed quantitatively using SPSS.
Results: The results showed that the Kabyle participants have positive attitudes to a great extent towards their home language and positive attitudes to some extent towards the host language. Neither gender nor age was found to be effective on the participants’ attitudes towards either language.
Conclusions: The results are discussed in terms of different sociocultural factors. The study recommends that more investigations about Kabyle be conducted to maintain the language and protect it from loss.

Published: September 2023

Abstract: Introduction. The article describes the issues of the concept, content of exculpatory circumstances in the investigation of crimes. Justifying circumstances are important in the system of establishing the event of a crime and proving the guilt of a particular person. Verification of the named circumstances is obligatory, no matter by whom they are stated. The forensic issues of verification of exculpatory circumstances have been given sufficient attention in science. However, at present it is necessary to carry out a detailed study of not only the circumstances specified in Chapter 8 of the Criminal Code of the RF, but also a number of other exculpatory data.
Methods and results. In the process of research the authors used statistical and formal-legal methods. The analysis of exculpatory circumstances was conducted from the perspective of the structure of investigation and resistance to investigation, the mandatory verification of exculpatory circumstances, which is an important element of proving both the event of the crime and the guilt of a particular person. The article considers the types of exculpatory circumstances. The methods of verification of alibi, impossibility of committing a crime by a particular person due to illness, lack of physical data necessary for the commission of a crime. The methods of verification of the specified exculpatory circumstances are considered. The importance of verification of information on exculpatory circumstances for completeness and objectivity of investigation is shown.

Abstract
We report on an application of 4D synchrotron radiation microtomography with a temporal resolution of 10 ms. Our device compresses a sample while rotating it at high speed, making it possible for the first time to capture the moment of a local fracture inside a porous composite material. It was visualized that the fracture was caused by local tensile shear stress, not local compressive stress.
Numerical quantization of interfering photons using liquid crystal retarder
Authors: Okada Hiroyuki 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
Numerical quantization of interfering small photons using a liquid crystal (LC) retarder is investigated. A beam splitter can be considered a four-port device with the input-output relations in the Heisenberg picture using the creation and annihilation operator. We introduce the phase shift in one of the annihilation operators using the LC device, where, the amplitude of these operations is ultimately reduced. The alignment of an LC director is homogeneous and the director profile is calculated by solving the Euler–Lagrange equation. A total number of retardations can be calculated using the effective refractive index of the LC molecule integrating through cell thickness direction. As a result, a detail of the quantization operation is clarified.

Authors: Mizugaki Yoshinao , Fujikura Kenta , Shimada Hiroshi 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
We present nonlinear electrical characteristics of a random array of gold nanoparticles (GNPs). We fabricated a GNP random array with six electrodes by using dielectrophoresis. The Coulomb blockade appeared on current–voltage characteristics at 4.2 K. Input–output characteristics of the GNP random array were also measured for a configuration with one-input and three-output terminals. For a sinusoidal voltage input of 100 Hz, distorted output voltage waveforms were acquired at the three output terminals. Higher harmonic components were confirmed on the FFT spectra of the outputs. Wave reconstruction tasks for a triangle and a cosine waveform were performed via an echo-state-network model with ridge regression, which demonstrated that nonlinear signal conversion in a GNP random array had potential for a physical reservoir device.

Published: October 2023

El ámbito de la educación superior no es estático, ya que los frecuentes cambios en la sociedad obligan a los países a modificar sus normativas con el afán de asumir los desafíos presentados de forma resiliente, para mantenerse a la vanguardia de la educación, pues es la forma como cada sociedad progresa a nivel mundial. Este artículo presenta un análisis comparativo de la Ley de Educación Superior de Argentina (LES 24521) con la legislación de educación superior de Ecuador y España. El objetivo fue identificar las debilidades de la LES 24521 en comparación con las tendencias actuales en la legislación de la educación superior. Se desarrolló dentro de una metodología cualitativa, y un diseño exploratorio descriptivo, ya que fueron examinadas las políticas y leyes sobre aspectos de relevancia en la gestión de las instituciones de educación superior (IES). Se encontraron varias debilidades en la LES 24521, principalmente en los aspectos de autonomía universitaria, presupuesto, gobernanza y administración, aseguramiento de la calidad y formación docente. Se propone que futuras reformas de la ley aborden estas deficiencias para garantizar una educación superior de calidad en Argentina, acorde a los desafíos actuales y las expectativas de la sociedad.
