Published: January 2024

Abstract
We investigate the feasibility of using the comoving Lagrangian acceleration (COLA) technique to efficiently generate galaxy mock catalogs that can accurately reproduce the statistical properties of observed galaxies. Our proposed scheme combines the subhalo abundance-matching (SHAM) procedure with COLA simulations, using only three free parameters: the scatter magnitude (σ
scat) in SHAM, the initial redshift (z
init) of the COLA simulation, and the time stride (da) used by COLA. In this proof-of-concept study, we focus on a subset of BOSS CMASS
NGC galaxies within the redshift range z ∈ [0.45, 0.55]. We perform GADGET simulation and low-resolution COLA simulations with various combinations of (z
init, da), each using 10243 particles in an 800 h
−1 Mpc box. By minimizing the difference between COLA
mock and CMASS
NGC galaxies for the monopole of the two-point correlation function (2PCF), we obtain the optimal σ
scat. We have found that by setting z
init = 29 and da = 1/30, we achieve a good agreement between COLA
mock and CMASS
NGC galaxies within the range of 4–20 h
−1 Mpc, with a computational cost lower by 2 orders of magnitude than that of the GADGET
N-body code. Moreover, a detailed verification is performed by comparing various statistical properties, such as anisotropic 2PCF, three-point clustering, and power spectrum multipoles, which shows a similar performance of the GADGET
mock and COLA
mock catalogs with the CMASS
NGC galaxies. Furthermore, we assess the robustness of the COLA
mock catalogs for different cosmological models, demonstrating consistent results in the resulting 2PCFs. Our findings suggest that COLA simulations are a promising tool for efficiently generating mock catalogs for emulators and machine-learning analyses to explore the large-scale structure of the Universe.

Authors: Abella Maveric K. I. L. , Thorne Tyler , Hayashi Jeffrey , Finlay Andrea K. , Frick Steven , Amanatullah Derek F. 
Published: January 2024

Background:
Despite increasing attention, disparities in outcomes for Black and Hispanic patients undergoing orthopedic surgery are widening. In other racial-ethnic minority groups, outcomes often go unreported. We sought to quantify disparities in surgical outcomes among Asian, American Indian or Alaskan Native, and Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander patients across multiple orthopedic subspecialties.

Materials and Methods:
The National Surgical Quality Improvement Program was queried to identify all surgical procedures performed by an orthopedic surgeon from 2014 to 2020. Multivariable logistic regression models were used to investigate the impact of race and ethnicity on 30-day medical complications, readmission, reoperation, and mortality, while adjusting for orthopedic subspecialty and patient characteristics.

Results:

Across 1,512,480 orthopedic procedures, all patients who were not White were less likely to have arthroplasty-related procedures (
P
<.001), and Hispanic, Asian, and American Indian or Alaskan Native patients were more likely to have trauma-related procedures (
P
<.001). American Indian or Alaskan Native (adjusted odds ratio [AOR], 1.005; 95% CI, 1.001–1.009;
P
=.011) and Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander (AOR, 1.009; 95% CI, 1.005–1.014;
P
<.001) patients had higher odds of major medical complications compared with White patients. American Indian or Alaskan Native patients had higher risk of reoperation (AOR, 1.005; 95% CI, 1.002–1.008;
P
=.002) and Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander patients had higher odds of mortality (AOR, 1.003; 95% CI, 1.000–1.005;
P
=.019) compared with White patients.

Conclusion:

Disparities regarding surgical outcome and utilization rates persist across orthopedic surgery. American Indian or Alaskan Native and Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander patients, who are under-represented in research, have lower rates of arthroplasty but higher odds of medical complication, reoperation, and mortality. This study highlights the importance of including these patients in orthopedic research to affect policy-related discussions. [

Sagittal Pelvic Tilt Directly Influences the Ischiofemoral Space: A Cadaveric Study
Authors: Spencer-Gardner Luke , Nunley Brandon , Gómez-Hoyos Juan , Wells Joel , Khoury Anthony N. 
Published: January 2024

Background:
Ischiofemoral impingement (IFI) is understood to be a pain generator in the deep gluteal space. Femoral position is known to influence the ischiofemoral space (IFS), but there has been no study examining the effect of sagittal pelvic tilt on the IFS. The purpose of this study was to determine whether changes in pelvic tilt in the sagittal plane lead to changes in the dimensions of the IFS.

Materials and Methods:
Five fresh frozen cadavers (10 hips) were used for this anatomic study. The specimens were skeletonized and placed in the prone position with the pelvis fixed to a custom-built hinged table. A digital inclinometer was used to tilt the pelvis −10°, 0°, and 10° simulating posterior, neutral, and anterior pelvic tilt, respectively. Digital calipers were used to measure the dimensions of the IFS in all three positions of sagittal pelvic tilt.

Results:

Changes in pelvic tilt resulted in significant changes in the dimensions of the IFS. Mean IFS dimensions measured 29.3±9.7 mm, 37.2±9.0 mm, and 24.3±9.2 mm in the neutral, anterior, and posterior pelvic tilt positions, respectively (
P
<.0001).

Conclusion:

Changes in sagittal pelvic tilt influence the dimensions of the IFS, with posterior pelvic tilt noted to significantly decrease the IFS when compared with neutral and anterior pelvic tilt. These findings suggest that further evaluation of sagittal spinopelvic balance in the etiology of symptomatic IFI may be warranted. [

Rhétorique de l’ekphrasis dans A tour through Italy
Authors: Uesugi Makoto 
Published: January 2024

Riche en remarques sur la peinture italienne, A Tour through Italy 1811 n’est pas seulement un témoignage de la formation esthétique d’un jeune amateur d’art : il peut se lire comme un texte problématisant les pouvoirs du langage face à la peinture. L’acte de regarder un tableau y est conçu dans sa complexité et chacune des « façons » de l’œil se distingue par une écriture propre. Cet article se propose donc d’étudier les fonctions de l’œil et les traits stylistiques de la plume, incitant à lier ce texte de 1811 à l’œuvre future de Stendhal.
Les désarrois de Brulard
Authors: Didier Béatrice 
Published: January 2024

« Qu’ai-je été ? Que suis-je ? En vérité je serais bien embarrassé pour le dire. » Pour faire le lien entre ces deux questions, il faudrait parvenir à prouver une identité entre le personnage qui a vécu et celui qui écrit, continuité d’autant plus nécessaire qu’elle est affirmée à un point névralgique, sous le signe d’Eros et de Thanatos : la passion pour la mère. La vie de Henry Brulard est donc tendue dans un dialogue entre ce personnage de papier qu’est le héros, et le narrateur menacé lui aussi d’en devenir un. C’est à travers cette recherche vouée à l’échec (multiples blancs du texte, trous de mémoires, pages laissées vides) que le lecteur découvre vraiment l’écrivain.
Screening for the economic production of hydrolytic enzymes from locally-isolated fungi
Authors: Yehia Heba , Abdel-Razik Rania , Elkhateeb Waill A. , Saleh Alaa M. 
Published: January 2024

Background
Enzymes are complex proteins serving as biological catalysts to facilitate reactions in mild and environment-friendly conditions. Saprophytic fungi have long been harnessed for the efficient production of several industrially-significant enzymes whose market is still growing to cope with the increase in demand and natural resources’ depletion.

Objective
This investigation was performed with respect to the economic viewpoint of terrestrial fungi utilization and their hydrolytic enzymes’ biosynthetic potential.

Materials and methods
Several terrestrial fungi were isolated, cultivated on cheap agricultural wastes, and evaluated for industrial relevance. Solid-state fermentation was conducted to further boost the economic value and sustainability. The enzymatic productivity was estimated through solid-phase radial diffusion correlating the zones’ diameters to the enzymatic activity.

Results and conclusion
Six soil fungi were isolated, five belonging to the order Eurotiales and one to Mucorales. The molds belonged to four different genera; Aspergillus sydowii, Aspergillus versicolor, Aspergillus ustus, Fennelia flavipes (anamorph: Aspergillus flavipes), Cunninghamella elegans and Paecilomyces lilacinus. Many of the tested agricultural wastes were able to support the biosynthesis of the explored constitutive enzymes, recording better activity than the standard synthetic medium. Under the test conditions, L-asparaginase and protease were the most frequently detected enzymes while banana and mandarine peels led to the highest enzymes’ activity.
In light of the global direction towards sustainability, enzymes can have immense prospects to sustain the industrial sectors innocuously. The cost-effectiveness of the manufacturing processes can be enhanced by accommodating the fiscal challenges for operating conditions. Using agrarian residues as raw material, highly productive enzyme producers, and cheaper solid-state fermentation processes are factors that may contribute to the efficacy, efficiency and economic feasibility of the enzyme-based processes.
Fetal Vein of Galen Aneurysmal Malformation (VGAM) Detected at 36 Weeks: Review of Literature and Case Report
Authors: Ahmad Zainab D. , Abubakar Hanifah D. , Gaya Fatima A. , Muhammad Abbas R. 
Published: January 2024

Abstract
Vein of Galen malformation is a rare intracranial vascular lesion most often concomitant with poor prognosis when associated with high-output cardiac failure. We present a case that was diagnosed late in the third trimester, but due to the limitations in our local settings, immediate operative intervention could not be done. A 24-year-old primigravida was sent for a routine 36-week obstetric ultrasound scan (USS), which revealed a midline cystic structure with mosaic color signals on a duplex Doppler USS within the fetal head. The unavailability of fetal magnetic resonance venography (MRV) delayed confirmation until the postnatal period. An MRV done on the second day of delivery showed a dilated, tortuous midline structure in the region of the vein of Galen, which confirmed the findings. Echocardiography revealed multiple cardiac lesions. Although, both antenatally and at birth, there was no cardiac failure, the baby died on the seventh day of life from possible cardiac compromise.
Surgical Management of Brain Abscess in Bauchi, Nigeria: A Single-Center Study
Authors: Ogunleye Olabisi O. , Muhammad Abubakar S. , Amur Ibrahim , Ogunleye Oluchukwu B. 
Published: January 2024

Abstract

Context:
Brain abscess is an area of focal intracranial infection, which begins with cerebritis and later become capsular stage with surrounding vascularization. The route of transmission is mainly through contiguous structures, hematogenous spread, and complication of traumatic brain injury. Brain abscess continues to pose great challenges in diagnosis and treatment in both developed and developing countries. We investigated the demography, clinical presentations, laboratory, and factors associated with the outcomes.

Aims:
To review the patients with brain abscess that were managed in our hospital and to determine the factors that predict the outcomes.

Setting and Design:
Retrospective cross-sectional design.

Methodology:
We conducted a study on twenty-nine patients who had surgical treatment for intracerebral brain abscess in our facility between September 2018 and September 2022. Demography, clinical features, laboratory findings, and outcomes of the patients were analyzed.

Statistical Analysis Used:
Categorical data were analyzed with the Chi-square, and multivariate regression analysis was performed to identify predictive factors for the outcomes of the patients.

Results:
Twenty-nine patients had surgical drainage of intracerebral abscess in various locations. Male-to-female ratio is of 2.2:1. Most intracranial abscesses, that had surgical intervention occurred in the 2nd and 4th decade of life, with each accounting for 31%. The predisposing factors were mainly chronic otitis media (28%), chronic sinusitis (14%), post-meningitis (24%), and post-TBI (17%). All the patients had headache, and only 24% of them had seizure at presentation. Positive bacterial culture was seen in 31% of the patients. Sex and the presence of headache were independently associated with poor outcome with P value of 0.005 and 0.033, respectively.

Conclusion:
Prevention, early diagnosis, and treatment are key to improving prognosis. Most of our patients had good outcome. However, sex and headache as factors are poor predictors of poor prognosis.
From words to text – academic writing in EFL classrooms
Authors: Balle Søren Hattesen , Olsen Merete 
Published: January 2024

This article will take its point of departure in the following questions:
- Why work with academic writing and CLIL in EFL classrooms?
- How to support the development of EFL students’ academic writing skills through a focus on a CLIL approach, subject-specific vocabulary, meaningful text production and authentic audiences?
Today’s children are both learners of language and users of language in the learning process (Scarino & Liddicoat, 2009). Theory on modern language teaching revolves around how to make academic writing authentic, meaningful, and motivating for schoolchildren to help them become competent text producers (Hyland & Tse, 2007; Gibbons, 2009; Nagy & Townsend, 2012, Thise & Vilien, 2019)
The article will be organised around a discussion of the potentials of working with CLIL (Coyle, Hood & Marsh, 2010), vocabulary development and authentic academic communication (Henriksen, 2019) where language teaching functions as a means of developing children’s academic writing skills across subject-specific content areas. The focus will be put on how to bridge the gap between vocabulary learning and text production and how to communicate effectively with peers in authentic academic contexts.
After this theoretically founded introduction to the above key issues, findings deriving from the NCFF project “Building More Vocabulary – Building More Communicative Competence” will be unfolded. Emphasis will be put on vocabulary learning in relation to the increasing requirements of a larger and more nuanced vocabulary outside everyday colloquial language in today’s societies. This to support children’s ability to become future partakers of the international dialogue about important global challenges.

Published: January 2024

Psychiatric disorders like major depressive disorder (MDD), schizophrenia (SCZ), and bipolar disorder (BPD), represent a significant global public health concern. Sex differences in the prevalence and presentation of psychiatric disorders, and the association of a psychiatric diagnosis with increased risk of suicide, are well-established. However, the neurobiology underlying these features of disease are not well understood. Dysfunction of the orbitofrontal cortex (OFC), a brain region responsible for decision-making and sensory processing, has been implicated in psychiatric disorders but remains understudied compared to other frontocortical brain regions.
In this study we investigated sexual dimorphism in psychiatric illnesses and suicide by analyzing publicly available OFC transcriptional profiles (RNAseq data obtained from the Stanley Neuropathology Consortium) from individuals with SCZ, BPD, MDD, and non-psychiatric controls (n=15/group).
Gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) revealed significant differences in immune-related processes in male and female comparisons and in psychiatric disorders relative to controls. Analysis of top differentially expressed genes found changes in P2RY12 in males and females who died by suicide. Additionally, downregulation of protein folding processes was observed in female suicide subjects, suggesting an association between dysregulated protein metabolism and suicide. Our results further our understanding of the shared and unique molecular pathways underlying psychiatric disorders and suicide.

Published: January 2024

Internal audit quality is the initial stage that greatly influences whether a company's audit quality is good or bad, as well as being the initial door to creating a company that is healthy, clean, accountable, transparent, and upholds every existing company and state regulations. There are a number of factors that can influence whether the quality of internal audit is good or bad, including the auditor's moral reasoning to find odd flaws, increase the detail of the audit, and so on. Therefore, this research aims to analyze the influence of Moral Reasoning on Internal Audit Quality with Auditor Competence as a moderating variable. This research is quantitative research with an explanatory approach. The data used in this research is primary data distributed to 300 BUMN internal auditors spread throughout Indonesia. This data uses a questionnaire method in its distribution containing the choices of agree, strongly agree, strongly disagree, disagree, and normal/average regarding auditor reasoning, auditor competence, and internal audit standards. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan jika the Moral Reasoning variable can have a positive relationship and a significant influence on Internal Audit Quality because the P-Values value is positive and is below the significance level of 0.05, namely 0.019. This is because good moral reasoning from an auditor can make the auditor prioritize the interests of the public/company/state rather than personal interests or only some parties. This proves that the author's first hypothesis and first belief can be accepted. Apart from that, the Auditor Competency variable can moderate the relationship between the Moral Reasoning variable and Internal Audit Quality because the P-Values value is in a positive direction and is far below the significance level of 0.05, namely 0.000, even smaller than the direct assessment of 0.019. This is because good Moral Reasoning makes auditors prioritize the public interest, if accompanied by good Auditor Competency, it will make the influence of Moral Reasoning on Internal Audit Quality more significant. In this way, the second hypothesis and the researcher's second belief can also be accepted.

Published: January 2024

ABSTRACT.
Good recruitment carried out by a research company is believed to improve company performance because the human resources produced are not haphazard/high quality, are used to not being influenced by the habits of Collusion, Corruption and Nepotism, are educated, and have high integrity. Of course, this must be supported by good selection and must be implemented by a company so that employee performance can be achieved more easily. This research is quantitative research with an explanatory approach. The data in this research was distributed using an online questionnaire method to employees and a number of HRD PT. As many as 200 employees and 100 HRD are spread across Indonesia, all of which contain statements of agree, strongly agree, disagree, strongly disagree and indifferent. This data can also be called primary data. The result in this research show show a positive relationship and a significant influence on employee performance with a value of 0.031 which is smaller than the significance level of 0.05. Thus the first hypothesis and the researcher's first belief are accepted and can be proven. Not too different from the statement above, if a good recruitment process is accompanied by good results, high employee integrity, employee professionalism and the quality of human resources which will ultimately have an impact on employee performance will be easier to obtain. This can be proven by the results of the third table of Path Coefficients in this research which shows a positive relationship and a more significant influence on employee performance because the P-Values value is positive and has a more significant influence, namely 0.000, which is more significant than the direct test of 0.031. Thus the second hypothesis and second belief in this research can be accepted.
