Worldwide, alcohol use and abuse are a leading risk of mortality, causing 5.3% of all deaths (World Health Organization, 2022). The endocrine stress system, initiated by the peripheral release of corticotropin releasing hormone (CRH) from primarily glutamatergic neurons in the paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus (PVN), is profoundly linked with alcohol use, abuse, and relapse (Blaine and Sinha, 2017). These PVN CRH-releasing (PVNCRH) neurons are essential for peripheral and central stress responses (Rasiah et al., 2023), but little is known about how alcohol affects these neurons. Here, we show that two-bottle choice alcohol consumption blunts the endocrine-mediated corticosterone response to stress during acute withdrawal in female mice. Conversely, using slice electrophysiology, we demonstrate that acute withdrawal engenders a hyperexcitable phenotype of PVNCRHneurons in females that is accompanied by increased glutamatergic transmission in both male and female mice. GABAergic synaptic transmission was unaffected by alcohol history. We then tested whether chemogenetic inhibition of PVNCRHneurons would restore stress response in female mice with a history of alcohol drinking in the looming disk test, which mimics an approaching predator threat. Accordingly, inhibition of PVNCRHneurons reduced active escape in hM4Di alcohol history mice only. This study indicates that stress-responsive PVNCRHneurons in females are particularly affected by a history of alcohol consumption. Interestingly, women have indicated an increase in heavy alcohol use to cope with stress (Rodriguez et al., 2020), perhaps pointing to a potential underlying mechanism in alcohol-mediated changes to PVNCRHneurons that alter stress response.SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENTParaventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus neurons that release corticotropin releasing hormone (PVNCRH) are vital for stress response. These neurons have been understudied in relation to alcohol and withdrawal despite profound relations between stress, alcohol use disorders (AUD), and relapse. In this study, we use a variety of techniques to show that acute withdrawal from a history of alcohol impacts peripheral stress response, PVNCRHneurons, and behavior. Specifically, PVNCRHare in a hyperactive state during withdrawal, which drives an increase in active stress coping behaviors in female mice only. Understanding how alcohol use and withdrawal affects stress responding PVNCRHneurons may contribute to finding new potential targets for the treatment of alcohol use disorder.
Voluntary Assurance of Sustainability Reports: Evidence from Indonesia
Authors: Meutia Inten , Kartasari Shelly F , Daud Rochmawati 
Published: October 2023

Purpose : This study aims to prove the determinants of the adoption of assurance statements in companies in Indonesia. Several companies in Indonesia have included assurance reports in their sustainability reports as a voluntary disclosure. This phenomenon motivates this study, considering that sustainability report assurance is gaining interest among companies, but there is still very little literature discussing this issue, specifically in Indonesia. This research will fill the research gap on sustainability report assurance.
Method : Using data from companies participating in ASRRAT (Asian Sustainability Report Rating) for five years (2017 – 2021), this study assesses the influence of governance, profitability, and company age on the company’s decision to adopt assurance on sustainability reports. Total unit analysis are 140 sustainability reports from 28 companies.
Findings : The results show that governance, profitability, and the company age significantly influence the adoption of assurance on sustainability reports. This study provides preliminary evidence of the willingness of companies to adopt assurance of sustainability reports in Indonesia by identifying characteristics that distinguish Indonesia from other countries concerning the choice to implement an assurance for sustainability reports.
Novelty : This research uses governance measures based on the GRI standard of governance disclosure standards, consisting of 29 disclosure indicators. Previous studies linking governance with sustainability reports only tested specific governance mechanisms, such as the audit committee, board of directors, or diversity.

Evaluation of Fire Protection systems in Residential High-rise Buildings for Evacuation Optimisation- A Case of Bengaluru
Authors: N Mamatha. , K Ajai Chandran. C. 
Published: October 2023

Significance of the research- Among different types of occupancies, a Residential high-rise building presents a more significant challenge to fire protection due to its functionality, complexity, and economic value. Objective of the study- The key objective of the present paper was to examine the situation of physical (as opposed to non-physical) fire protection systems in randomly selected Residential high-rise buildings in Bengaluru for Evacuation optimization. Methodology- Methods used include Physical observation, document review, and interviews. A multi-attribute evaluation model/approach was applied to establish the sufficiency or suitability of fire protection systems in light of NBC-2016 [1] and Bangalore Byelaws-2016. The study reveals that fire-fighting/evacuation lifts and other fire protection systems are primarily present in the buildings. Nevertheless, due to inadequate maintenance or unsuitable elements, their safety performance is compromised. Research findings- The analysis revealed that fire hoses and hydrants demonstrated the highest level of adequacy and suitability in terms of their number, locations, and maintenance across the buildings. Conversely, only 50% of the buildings had a sprinkler system that was sufficiently installed, indicating a need for improved coverage and maintenance, possibly due to cost considerations. The performance of other systems was as follows: fire driveways (83%), fire escape staircases (83%), fire detection and alarm (40%), corridors and passageways (67%), assembly areas (83%), hose reels and hydrants (100%), fire brigade access and facilities (67%), safety signs and notices (17%), portable fire extinguishers (50%), and fire audits (17%). Based on these findings, it is recommended to prioritize increased efforts in inspecting and maintaining fire protection systems throughout the lifespan of the project to address the identified shortcomings. Additionally, the design of residential high-rise buildings should incorporate provisions for fire-fighting evacuation lifts and facilities catering to the needs of disabled individuals.

OBJECTIVES
To evaluate the rate of postnatal infection during the first month of life in neonates born to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2)-positive mothers during the predominant circulation of the omicron (B.1.1.529) variant.

METHODS
This prospective, 10-center study enrolled mothers infected by SARS-CoV-2 at delivery and their infants, if both were eligible for rooming-in, between December 2021 and March 2022. Neonates were screened for SARS-CoV-2 RNA at 1 day of life (DOL), 2 to 3 DOL, before discharge, and twice after hospital discharge. Mother-infant dyads were managed under a standardized protocol to minimize the risk of viral transmission. Sequencing data in the study area were obtained from the Italian Coronavirus Disease 2019 Genomic platform. Neonates were included in the final analysis if they were born when the omicron variant represented &gt;90% of isolates.

RESULTS
Eighty-two percent (302/366) of mothers had an asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infection. Among 368 neonates, 1 was considered infected in utero (0.3%), whereas the postnatal infection rate during virtually exclusive circulation of the omicron variant was 12.1%. Among neonates infected after birth, 48.6% became positive during the follow-up period. Most positive cases at follow-up were detected concurrently with the peak of coronavirus disease 2019 cases in Italy. Ninety-seven percent of the infected neonates were asymptomatic.

CONCLUSIONS
The risk of early postnatal infection by the SARS-CoV-2 omicron variant is higher than that reported for previously circulating variants. However, protected rooming-in practice should still be encouraged given the paucity of symptoms in infected neonates.
Exploring fair scheduling aspects – Through final exam scheduling
Authors: Jáhn-Erdős Szilvia , Kővári Bence 
Published: October 2023

AbstractFair treatment of individuals in a scheduling task is essential. Unfairness can cause dissatisfaction among workers, faster obsolescence of work tools and underutilization of others. The literature's definitions vary, and there is no clear definition of general scheduling tasks.This article explores fair scheduling through the lens of final exams, aiming to extend decision support system methodologies. It proposes a method based on Lipschitz mapping to measure fairness and presents a pseudo-algorithm for estimating optimal trend lines.The model and the algorithm are demonstrated using the example of final exam schedules. In this way, two feasible solutions can be measured and compared in terms of fairness.

The use of 4D building information modeling in addition to 3D building information modeling improves project planning and leads to higher quality of the final product with minimal wastage of resources. In addition, 4D building information modeling allows creating visual effects that can be shown to clients before construction begins. The study describes the ways in which 4D building information modeling can be used, as well as some of the notable benefits. The level of awareness of this technology and the level of its use in construction practice are also described. The final part describes the main problems and tasks of this field and possible ways to solve them.
Determination of the capacitance of capacitor with orthotropic dielectric material
Authors: Ecsedi István , Lengyel Ákos József 
Published: October 2023

AbstractThe paper deals with the capacitance of cylindrical two-dimensional capacitor which consists of Cartesian orthotropic dielectric material. The determination of the capacitance of capacitor with orthotropic dielectric material by a suitable coordinate transformation is reduced to the computation of capacitance of an isotropic capacitor. It is proven that the capacitance of a Cartesian orthotropic capacitor can be obtained in terms of an isotropic capacitor whose dielectric constant is the geometric mean of the dielectric constant of the orthotropic capacitor.

Published: October 2023

Interleukin 6 (IL-6) is a cytokine implicated in the development of atherosclerosis. This study aimed to determine the association of three IL-6 gene polymorphisms with increased carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) and cardiometabolic risk factors. Three IL-6 polymorphisms (rs1800795, rs2069827, and rs1800796) were analyzed in 178 individuals with increased CIMT (CIMT ≥ 75th percentile) and 906 individuals without increased CIMT (CIMT < 75th percentile). Logistic regression, adjusted for confounding variables, was employed to assess the associations. The rs1800796 polymorphism was significantly associated with an elevated risk of increased CIMT (OR = 1.354, Padditive = 0.016; OR = 1.803, Precessive = 0.014; OR = 1.989, Pcodominant2 = 0.008). One haplotype (GCG) correlated with a higher risk of increased CIMT (OR = 1.288; P = 0.008), while another (GGG) demonstrated a reduced risk (OR = 0.773; P = 0.006). In individuals without increased CIMT, the rs2069827 polymorphism was associated with low risks of central obesity, hypoalphalipoproteinemia, and a low risk of presenting with high levels of total cholesterol (TC), non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (non-HDL-C), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) /HDL-C index, apolipoprotein B, and gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase. The rs1800796 polymorphism was associated with a low risk of adipose tissue insulin resistance, and the rs1800795 was associated with a minimal risk of central obesity and hypoalphalipoproteinemia. Among those with increased CIMT, the rs2069827 was associated with low risks of central obesity, hypertriglyceridemia, metabolic syndrome, and a high triglyceride (TG)/HDL-C index, while rs1800796 was associated with a low risk of fatty liver. Similar IL-6 concentrations were observed in both individuals with and without increased CIMT. In conclusion, the rs1800796 polymorphism is associated with increased CIMT, while the rs2069827 and rs1800795 are linked to cardiovascular risk factors.
Reproducibility of Remote Mapping of the 2019 Ridgecrest Earthquake Surface Ruptures
Authors: Young Elaine K. , Oskin Michael E. , Rodriguez Padilla Alba M. 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
We use multiple, independently produced surface-rupture maps of the 2019 Ridgecrest earthquake sequence to test the reproducibility of surface-rupture map interpretation and completeness. The 4 July Mw 6.4 and 5 July Mw 7.1 earthquakes produced surface-rupture zones approximately 20 and 50 km in length, respectively. Three independent mappers with various backgrounds in active tectonics mapped the surface rupture from the postearthquake lidar data without knowledge from postearthquake field or geodetic observations. Visual comparisons of the three remote rupture maps show good agreement for scarps &gt;50 cm in height. For features with less topographic expression, interpretations of the data vary more widely between mappers. Quantitative map comparisons range from 18% to 54% consistency between mapped lines with 1 m buffers. The percent overlap increases with buffer width, reflecting variance in line placement as well as differences in fault-zone interpretation. Overall, map similarity is higher in areas where the surface rupture was simpler and had more vertical offset than in areas with complex rupture patterns or little vertical offset. Fault-zone interpretation accounts for the most difference between maps, while line placement accounts for differences at the meter scale. In comparison to field observations, our remotely produced maps capture the principal rupture well but miss small features and geometric complexity. In general, lidar excels for the detection and measurement of vertical offsets in the landscape, and it is deficient for detecting lateral offset with little or no vertical motion.
Strategies of coping with anger as a state and a trait among female students
Authors: Bany Yassien B. M. , Melhem M. A. , Albadarneh M. M. T. , Rababah M. A. 
Published: October 2023

Introduction. University students often encounter many difficult situations that may provoke their anger and thus make them less capable of controlling themselves and their behaviours. This will possibly hinder their growth and psychological and academic development, leading to more personal conflict and discomfort, emotional and physical abuse, increased crime, feelings of insecurity, a lack of concentration, and less social interaction.Aim. This study aims to examine coping strategies with anger as a state and trait in light of “Social status” and “Achievement level” variables.Methodology and research methods. A quantitative method was employed to analyse the data. The sample for the study consisted of 256 female students from Al-Balqa Applied University (BAU), randomly chosen. Two scales were used to collect data: 1) the anger scale as a state and as a trait, including 30 items (15 items measure anger as an emotional state that varies in its intensity, and 15 items measure anger as an emotional trait); 2) the anger coping strategies scale, containing 34 items divided into six domains to identify the different ways of individuals’ positive or negative responses to the irritating situations of anger (direct expressions of anger, emphasis, search for social support, dissipation of anger, avoidance, and tapering).Results. The results revealed statistically significant differences due to social status and achievement level, whereas there were no statistically significant differences in the coping strategies for anger due to social status. They also showed that seeking social support is the prevailing coping strategy.Scientific novelty. The study is one of the few in the Arab World that looked at the relationship between anger as a state or trait and coping strategies in a sample of female students based on their social status and level of achievement. It helps enrich the theoretical literature on anger and researchers’ and students’ knowledge by clarifying the relationship of the discussed variables with each other.Practical significance. The practical significance of the study can be observed in two aspects. First, the research findings can draw the attention of educational officials by highlighting the relationships between anger as a state and anger as a trait, as well as the coping strategies employed by female students. This knowledge can lead to developing programmes to reduce anger among female students. Second, the study can contribute to developing coping methods that positively impact the social and academic adaptation of female students.

Authors: Popova N. G. , Khabirova E. I. 
Published: October 2023

Introduction. In the last decades, due to the increased number of international research collaborations, the role of auxiliary institutions which contribute to the development of research publication competencies has increased. Competencies are required for writing, preparing, publishing, and promoting scientific articles. The formation of such competencies is carried out at different levels of higher education as part of the current Federal State Educational Standard (FSES), including prorammes of additional professional education, as well as initiatives of auxiliary university departments and non-university organisations.Aim. This article aims to analyse the resources available for the development of research publication competencies in Russia in terms of the opportunities offered by different participants of the educational process.Methodology and research methods. The study compared and analysed open access regulatory documentation, reviewed and systematised data from the websites of auxiliary university departments and non-university organisations, and used data from in-depth interviews.Results. The article describes the prerequisites for the formation of research publication competencies in higher education in Russia. An overview of effective practices to develop such competencies is given, taking into account the national context and available higher education programmes. The article provides an overview of the functionality of auxiliary university departments and non-university organisations, whose activities support publication activity. The role of academic writing teachers, consultants, translators, editors, and reviewers in the development of the competencies of the authors of scientific publications is determined. The importance of the closer interaction of all participants in the publication process is substantiated: authors, translators, and editors of texts; and teachers of scientific writing courses with editors and reviewers of scientific journals.Scientific novelty. The scientific novelty of this article refers to a detailed description of the resources for the development of research publication competencies and their compliance with the requirements of the Federal State Educational Standard, which have not been investigated in such correlation before.Practical significance. The results can be used to develop a set of measures to systematise approaches to developing research publication competencies.
