Patterns of long-term care utilization during the last five years of life among Swedish older adults with and without dementia
Authors: SM-Rahman Atiqur , Meinow Bettina , Hydén Lars-Christer , Kelfve Susanne 
Published: October 2023

Aims
The aims of this study were to compare the patterns of long-term care (LTC) use (no care, homecare, residential care) among people with and without dementia aged 70+ in Sweden during their last five years of life and its association with sociodemographic factors (age, gender, education, cohabitation status) and time with a dementia diagnosis.

Methods
This retrospective cohort study included all people who died in November 2019 aged 70 years and older (n = 6294) derived from several national registers. A multinomial logistic regression was conducted to identify which sociodemographic factors predicted the patterns of LTC use.

Results
Results showed that the time with a dementia diagnosis and cohabitation status were important predictors that influence the patterns of LTC use during the last five years of life. Nearly three-quarters of people living with dementia (PlwD) used residential care during the last five years of life. PlwD were more likely to reside in residential care close to death. Women who lived alone, with or without dementia, used residential care to a higher degree compared to married or cohabiting women.

Conclusions
Among people without a dementia diagnosis, as well as those who were newly diagnosed, it was common to have no LTC at all, or use LTC only for a brief period close to death. During the last five years of life, PlwD and those living alone more often entered LTC early and used residential care for a longer time compared to people without dementia and people living alone, respectively.
Sex and age-dependent characterization of the circadian clock as a potential biomarker for physical performance: A prospective study protocol
Authors: Yalçin Müge , Relógio Angela 
Published: October 2023

Introduction
Circadian rhythms (CR) regulate daily cycles in behavior, physiology and molecular processes. CRs are endogenous and vary across individuals. Seasonal changes can influence CR. Accordingly, rhythms with different characteristics (amplitude, phase) are depicted during the summer months, as compared to winter. Increasing evidence points to an influence of circadian regulation on physical performance. Here, we aim to obtain a comprehensive circadian gene expression profile for physically active individuals, which can potentially be used for the identification of optimal time intervals for physical exercise.

Methods and analysis
To explore these different aspects, we propose a study where we will carry out a molecular analysis of CR by measuring the expression of specific clock and clock-controlled genes, based on a non-invasive approach using RNA extracted from saliva in physically active, healthy participants. We will collect data across two seasons and use computational algorithms to integrate the molecular data with hormonal data (cortisol and melatonin), and generate a profile of CR in healthy individuals of different sex and age groups. Finally, we will use computational tools to predict optimal time intervals for physical performance based on the above-described data, thereby retrieving valuable data on the circadian clock as a key factor for health maintenance and optimization.

Drug strategy is a standard method for treating type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D), a non-communicable disease with increasing prevalence, which may cause side effects. Therefore, natural compounds with limited adverse effects have come back into vogue for treating T2D. This study aims to evaluate the effects on rehabilitating hyperglycemic mice of cashew nut testa (husk) extract and fraction known as potential bio-substances for improvement in T2D. First, the hyperglycemic mice were induced with a high-fat diet (HFD) for 4 weeks and then were injected with streptozotocin (STZ, dozen for injection was 40 mg/kg/week) for 2 weeks. Next, the confirmed hyperglycemic mice were treated with pioglitazone (HG+PG group), total extract (HG+TE group), and saponin-rich fraction (HG+SRF group) for 3 weeks. Then, the evaluation was based on body mass; blood glucose (BG) level; BG tolerance, lipid profile, pancreatic histology and the expression IRS-1 in the pancreas. The results showed that body mass and BG level significantly increased in hyperglycemic mice. After substance treatment, there was no change in body mass in TE and SRF groups. However, BG level of HG+TE group mice significantly decreased compared to hyperglycemic mice and only BG tolerance of HG+SRF group was improved. Besides, HG+TE and HG+SRF groups modulated the triglyceride, HDL and LDL close to those expressed in normal mice. In addition, histological images of the pancreas revealed the restoration in both HG+TE and HG+SRF groups. Simultaneously, the IRS-1 expression in HG+TE group pancreas was restored to its expression in normal mice. These results demonstrate that the TE and SRF of cashew nut testa could ameliorate BG, lipid profile and pancreatic IRS-1 expression and restore the damaged pancreas and islets in hyperglycemic mice.
Las asimetrías entre los procesos penales español y alemán y cómo abordarlos mediante una traducción transparente basada en el derecho comparado
Authors: Holl Iris 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
Due to the system-bound nature of the law, when a legal text rooted in a legal system A is translated to be received in a legal system B, the translator must deal with the challenges arising from the asymmetries between the legal systems involved. The purpose of this paper is to dive deeper into the nature of these asymmetries and its implications for the translation process. Due to its relevance for professional translation practice, we have chosen the legal subdomain of cross-border criminal prosecution between Spain and Germany as a case study. First, the translation situations that typically arise in these settings are described. Secondly, applying the methodology of comparative law, some important connecting and differentiating points of criminal proceedings in Germany and Spain are outlined. Thirdly, the asymmetries between the two legal systems that have been identified in the comparative legal study are revised to determine their origins and to decide whether a typology can be established for translation purposes. As a last step, the adequate translation method for these settings is discussed and possible translation techniques are outlined.

The Seismic Record of Wind in Alaska
Authors: Quigley Cade A. , West Michael E. 
Published: October 2023

ABSTRACT
Seismic data contains a continuous record of wind influenced by different factors across the frequency spectrum. To assess the influences of wind on ground motion, we use colocated wind and seismic data from 110 stations in the Alaska component of the EarthScope Transportable Array. We compare seismic probability power spectral densities and wind speed and direction during 2018 to develop a quantitative measure of the seismic sensitivity to wind. We observe a pronounced increase in seismic energy as a function of wind speed for almost all stations. At frequencies below the microseism band, our observations agree with previous authors in finding that sensor emplacement and ground materials are important, and that much of the wind influence likely comes from associated changes in barometric pressure. Wind has the least influence in the microseism band, but that is only because its contribution to noise is much smaller than the ubiquitous microseism background. At frequencies above the microseism band, we find that wind sensitivity is correlated with land cover type, increasing with vegetation height. This sensitivity varies seasonally, which we attribute to snow insulation, the burial of vegetation and objects around the station, and potentially the role of frozen ground. Wind direction also manifests in seismic data, which we attribute to turbulent air on the lee side of station huts coupling with the ground and the seismometer borehole cap. We find some dependence on bedrock type, with a greater seismic response in unconsolidated sediment. These results provide guidance on site selection and construction, and make it possible to forecast seismic network performance under different wind conditions. When we examine the factors at work in a warming climate, we find reason to anticipate increasing seismic noise from wind in the Arctic over the decades to come.
Seismic T Phases in the Western-Central Mediterranean: Source of Seismic Hazard?

Published: October 2023

Abstract
The Algerian offshore earthquake of 18 March 2021, Mw 6.0, was felt by people in various Italian regions, also at large epicentral distance. This unusual human perception far from the source prompted us to analyze the waveforms recorded by land seismic stations installed along the Iberian, French, and Italian coasts. On some seismograms of the selected network, prominent T phases are detected. T waves can travel in the SOund Fixing And Ranging (SOFAR) channel over great distances (thousands of kilometers) with little loss in signal strength and be recorded by near-coastal seismometers after the P (primary) and S (secondary) phases (hence T or tertiary phases). To explain the subjective perception of ground shaking with quantities that are measured on the seismogram, we estimated the empirical macroseismic intensities for both body and T phases and we calculated the body-wave seismic attenuation. The P-wave anelastic attenuation analysis shows two main wave propagation patterns that reflect lithosphere heterogeneity of the Algerian, Liguro-Provençal, and Tyrrhenian basins. We find that in some cases, in particular along the Italian and French coasts, the largest ground shaking is caused by the T phase. Our observations confirm that the central-western Mediterranean Sea is a favorable site for T-wave propagation and suggest that the T phases should be taken into account in ground-shaking hazard assessment for the central-western Mediterranean.
“Did You Feel It 50 Years Ago?” The 1969 Mw 7.8 Cape Saint Vincent Earthquake

Abstract
On 28 February 1969, an Mw 7.8 earthquake occurred 180 km southwest of Cape Saint Vincent, Portugal. The earthquake was widely felt in mainland Portugal, Madeira Island, Spain, Morocco, and even as far as Andorra and France, reaching a maximum intensity of VIII in the south of Portugal. In 2019, on the 50th anniversary of the earthquake, there was launched online an international “Did You Feel It 50 Years Ago?” (DYFI-50y) survey, published in several languages, for citizens to report the observed effects of the earthquake. This initiative had two main purposes: first, to collect and preserve community observations of the earthquake; and second, to test the online implementation of the DYFI questionnaire at Instituto Português do Mar e da Atmosfera for a damaging event. The DYFI-50y questionnaire was disseminated widely in the media, and a school project was launched for school-age children to collect reports from grandparents or other close elders. In total, more than 3000 reports were collected, a number that is close to the number of reports received for a recent M 6 earthquake in 2009. The collected community reports provide good coverage of mainland Portugal, particularly in Lisbon and Porto’s densely populated urban centers. In low-population areas, the limited results do not allow for robust statistics, and variability becomes significant. The distribution of intensities obtained shows a generally good agreement with other sources, indicating that the community reports are reliable and complement existing intensity maps for this earthquake, further clarifying some of the observed patterns. It was concluded that an online questionnaire is an efficient tool for gathering data several years after the earthquake.

Objectives: This study seeks to examine the specific challenges and barriers related to women's participation in politics and decision-making within the context of Pakistan.
Methodology: This study deploys literature review and historical analysis to understand the context and causes of women's underrepresentation. Furthermore, sociocultural analysis is used to assess the societal norms and cultural factors affecting women's participation in politics. Institutional analysis is used to evaluate the structural barriers and policies that hinder women's political involvement.
Findings: The outcomes of this study indicates that women in Pakistan face persistent obstacles to active participation in politics as well as these obstacles stem from historical, sociocultural, and institutional factors. Furthermore, the underrepresentation of women in political positions has adverse effects on Pakistan's democratic framework, including limited diversity and inclusivity. The study identifies the need for comprehensive measures to remove these barriers and promote a more equal and representative political landscape in Pakistan.
Applications of the study: Policymakers can use the findings to develop strategies and policies aimed at promoting women's political participation in Pakistan. In addition, civil society organizations can leverage the study's insights to advocate for gender-inclusive political reforms. Educational institutions can incorporate this research into their curriculum to raise awareness about gender disparities in politics. Furthermore, international organizations can support initiatives that address gender inequality in Pakistani politics based on the study's recommendations.
Novelty/Originality of the study: The novelty of this study lies in its comprehensive examination of the obstacles hindering women's participation in politics in Pakistan, encompassing historical, sociocultural, and institutional aspects. Additionally, it emphasizes the practical implications of women's underrepresentation on the democratic framework of the country. This holistic approach provides a unique perspective on the issue and offers valuable insights for policymakers and stakeholders aiming to address gender disparities in politics.
Human capital as a component of the innovation ecosystem
Authors: Paliienko Tetiana 
Published: October 2023

The aim of this study is to investigate the human capital in the context of innovative ecosystems, determine the structure and state of investment in human capital in Ukraine and provide recommendations on ways to activate investment for the development of an innovative ecosystem. To solve research issues were used articles, statistical information, and databases to which were applied comparison methods, analytical and tabular methods to visualize the analysis of data.The results of the study show that there is a direct relationship between the level of economic development of the country and the number of innovative products created, which is confirmed by the analysis of indicators of global indices. Despite the strengths that have an impact on domestic innovation development, Ukraine is not an innovation leader and its indicators have been deteriorating in recent years, which indicates the lack of use of available innovation potential and the unstable economic and political situation in the country.A comparative analysis of the Human Capital Index showed that the values for Ukraine remained unchanged for a decade. This is influenced by problems of investing in education and healthcare, without which the functioning of the innovation ecosystem is impossible. Currently, the country is experiencing a constant decline in the population, which is associated with high mortality, low birth rates and short life expectancy. The study found that while education costs rose before the full-scale invasion, the number of educational institutions steadily declined due to the closure of schools with a few students. A similar trend continues in the healthcare sector, where, with a relatively stable number of visitors, hospital facilities are being reduced.As a final point, a conclusion involving that the main component of the innovation ecosystem is human capital, which is involved in the creation and production of innovative goods and services and can generate income. The main task for the country today is to attract additional investment in human capital, which will help reduce the burden on the state and help in creating and developing innovative industries that will increase the country’s competitiveness in the world.

Digital transformation of the agricultural sector: prospects, challenges and solutions
Authors: Nehrey Maryna 
Published: October 2023

The digital transformation of the agricultural sector has received considerable attention due to its potential to increase efficiency and productivity. This paper reviews recent research and publications to identify key themes and gaps in the digitalisation of agriculture. The analysis shows that while some studies highlight the potential benefits of digital agriculture, others emphasise the limitations and challenges associated with its implementation. The case of Ukraine fits into the ‘light digitalisation’ scenario, where agriculture digitalisation is at a basic level, data control is limited, and digital literacy and technology adoption varies among different agricultural stakeholders.To promote the digitalisation process, data exchange between stakeholders such as farmers, government, traders, producers, consumers and AgriTech should be improved. Digital platforms, e-governance, agricultural extension, access to financial services and information exchange are very important for digital transformation. The author explores digital interactions between farmers and agri-tech companies, food traders/producers and consumers, highlighting the elements and benefits of such interactions.The role of the government in creating a reliable digitalisation system and facilitating cooperation between stakeholders is discussed. It proposes the implementation of solutions such as farm management systems, data collection tools, decision support systems and data-driven farming technologies. These solutions facilitate data analysis, informed decision-making and optimisation of farm operations.Challenges and limitations associated with the digital transformation of the agricultural sector are limited financial resources, regulatory constraints, resistance to change, and privacy concerns. Further research is needed to explore data quality standards, data ownership and privacy rules, skills development, modelling systems and digital platforms.
