Relationship Between Syntax Score and Cystatin C in Patients with Acute Coronary Syndrome
Authors: Toprak Kenan 
Published: March 2023

Introduction: The SYNTAX (SYNergy between PCI with TAXUS and Cardiac Surgery) score (SS) is an angiographic scoring system to determine the severity of coronary artery disease (CAD). As far as we know, studies examining the relationship between SYNTAX Score and Cystatin C (Cys-C) are limited in the literature. In this study, we aimed to investigate the relationship between Cys-C level and SS in patients presenting with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).
Patients and Methods: One hundred ninety-two patients who underwent coronary angiography for STEMI between June 2021 and December 2021 in our center were included in the study. The patients were divided into two groups according to their SS values: Group 1 included patients with SS<22, and Group 2 included patients with SS≥ 22. The two groups were compared in terms of baseline characteristics and serum Cys-C levels.
Results: Patients in Group 2 had significantly higher Cys-C levels than those in Group 1 (1.7 ± 0.53 vs 1.3 ± 0.29; p= 0.006). In the correlation analysis, SS showed a positive correlation with the Cys-C level (r= 0.189, p= 0.015). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that Cys-C level was an independent predictor of high SS (β=0.306, p= 0.006). When receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was performed, the optimal cut-off value of Cys-C to predict severe coronary artery disease (indicating high SS) was Cys-C≥ 1.56, which was predictive for severe coronary artery disease with 74% sensitivity and 72% specificity [area under the curve (AUC)= 0.745, 95% confidence interval (CI)= 0.624-0.835, p<0.001).
Conclusion: Cystatin C levels are independently associated with high SS in STEMI patients. In summary, our findings show that Cys-C is a promising clinical biomarker that can be used to assess the severity of coronary artery lesions, potentially providing additional information to established risk markers.
Should We Hesitate to Use Skeletonized Bilateral Internal Mammary Artery?
Authors: Özgen Ayça , Toköz Hamdi 
Published: March 2023

Introduction: This study aimed to examine the mortality and morbidity associated with skeletonized BIMA use as well as the long-term outcomes of the technique.
Patients and Methods: Patients who underwent CABG with or without additional intervention by using skeletonized BIMA in our clinic between the years 2017 and 2021 were included in this study (n= 193).
Results: During the six-month postoperative follow-up, none of the patients in whom BIMA was used developed deep sternal wound infection. Only ten patients developed skin closure defects at the sternal incision line during the first postoperative week, and one of them required revision of the skin incision site. Bacterial growth was not present on the sternal incision site cultures of any patients.
Conclusion: When considering the long-term outcomes of skeletonized BIMA use, we believe that surgeons should not be reluctant to use BIMA due to concerns about deep sternal wound infection.

Authors: Štumpf Martin , Lager Ioan Ernest 
Published: March 2023

Abstract. A straightforward approach to achieve the prescribed shape of the far-field electromagnetic (EM) pulse radiated from a narrow slot antenna is introduced. It is demonstrated that the specified radiated pulse shape in a given direction can be approximately attained via a simple signal-processing technique that yields the pertaining excitation pulse. Illustrative numerical examples demonstrating good accuracy in the early-time part of the radiated pulsed fields are presented.
Pervasive carbonation of peridotite to listvenite (Semail Ophiolite, Sultanate of Oman): clues from iron partitioning and chemical zoning

Published: March 2023

Abstract. Earth's long-term cycling of carbon is regulated from
mid-ocean ridges to convergent plate boundaries by mass transfers involving
mantle rocks. Here we examine the conversion of peridotite to listvenite
(magnesite + quartz rock) during CO2 metasomatism along the basal
thrust of the Semail Ophiolite (Fanja, Sultanate of Oman). At the outcrop
scale, this transformation defines reaction zones, from serpentinized
peridotites to carbonated serpentinites and listvenites. Based on a
detailed petrological and chemical study, we show that carbonation
progressed through three main stages involving the development of replacive
textures ascribed to early stages, whilst carbonate (± quartz) veining
becomes predominant in the last stage. The pervasive replacement of
serpentine by magnesite is characterized by the formation of spheroids,
among which two types are identified based on the composition of their core
regions: Fe-core and Mg-core spheroids. Fe zoning is a type feature of
matrix and vein magnesite formed during the onset carbonation (Stage 1).
While Fe-rich magnesite is predicted to form at low fluid XCO2 from a
poorly to moderately oxidized protolith, our study evidences that the local
non-redox destabilization of Fe oxides into Fe-rich magnesite is essential to
the development of Fe-core spheroids. The formation of Fe-core spheroids is
followed by the pervasive (over-)growth of Mg-rich spheroids and aggregates
(Stage 2) at near-equilibrium conditions in response to increasing fluid
XCO2. Furthermore, the compositions of carbonates indicate that most
siderophile transition elements released by the dissolution of primary
minerals are locally trapped in carbonate and oxides during matrix
carbonation, while elements with a chalcophile affinity are the most likely
to be leached out of reaction zones.
Improving the understanding of N transport in a rural catchment under Atlantic climate conditions from the analysis of the concentration–discharge relationship derived from a high-frequency data set
Authors: Rodríguez-Blanco María Luz , Taboada-Castro María Teresa , Taboada-Castro María Mercedes 
Published: March 2023

Abstract. Understanding processes controlling stream nutrient dynamics over time is crucial for implementing effective management strategies to prevent water quality degradation. In this respect, the study of the nutrient concentration–discharge (C–Q) relationship during individual runoff events can be a valuable tool for extrapolating the hydrochemical processes controlling nutrient fluxes in streams. This study investigated nitrogen concentration dynamics during events by analyzing and interpreting the nitrogen C–Q relationship in a small Atlantic (NW Iberian Peninsula) rural catchment. To this end, nitrate (NO3-N) and total Kjeldahl nitrogen (TKN) concentrations were monitored at a high temporal resolution during 102 runoff events over a 6-year period. For each of the selected runoff events, C–Q response was examined visually for the presence and direction of hysteresis loops and classified into three types of responses, namely clockwise, counterclockwise, and no hysteresis. Changes in concentration
(ΔC) and the hysteresis direction (ΔR) were used to quantify nitrogen (NO3- and TKN) patterns during the runoff events. The transport mechanisms varied between compounds. The most frequent hysteretic response for NO3- was counterclockwise with enrichment. On the contrary, the main TKN dynamic was enrichment with clockwise hysteresis. Event characteristics, such as rainfall amount, peak discharge (i.e., maximum discharge of the runoff event), and event magnitude relative to the initial baseflow (i.e., the difference between the maximum discharge of the runoff event and the initial baseflow divided by initial baseflow) provided a better explanation for hysteresis direction and magnitude for TKN than antecedent conditions (antecedent precipitation and baseflow at the beginning of the event). For NO3- hysteresis, the role of hydrometeorological conditions was more complex. The NO3- hysteresis magnitude was related to the magnitude of the event relative to the initial baseflow and the time elapsed since a preceding runoff event. These findings could be used as a reference for the development of N mitigation strategy in the region.

L’INCIDENCE DES MALADIES ET DES RAVAGEURS SUR LA CULTURE DU CACAO (THEOBROMA CACAO) A KINDU, R.D.CONGO.
Authors: Bernard Ir. SHABANI KASONGO 
Published: March 2023

En République Démocratique du Congo en générale et dans la province du Maniema en particulier, la culture du Cacao « Theobroma cacao » est essentiellement pratiquée par des paysans qui utilisent des méthodes traditionnelles ou empiriques. Cette étude signale que les maladies pouvant attaquer la culture du Cacao existe bien à Kindu et ses environs et que les symptômes sont indicateurs d’une baisse de production, comme cela prouvé ailleurs. Cet état des connaissances pourrait être guidé par des tests d’expérimentations et d’analyses poussées pour mieux comprendre l’expansion du phénomène dans la province du Maniema en générale et dans la ville de Kindu particulier. Des paramètres liés à la maladie (l’incidence, le taux d’attaques foliaires, l’indice de gravité des symptômes et la chute précoce des cabosses, la perte de rendement) ont été étudiés.
Les résultats obtenus ont montré que les Cacao de Kindu sont infectés avec une incidence variant entre (16,82%) et (54,22%) à Kindu et un taux d’attaque moyen variant entre 11% et 29%. Nous avons constaté d’après ces résultats, que 54,22% des plants infectés affichent des indices de sévérités ou Indice de Gravité des Symptômes IGS inquiétants qui varient de 1 à 4 susceptibles de faire baisser la production dans le zone étudiée. L’impact économique de maladies et ravageurs de la culture de Cacao s’est traduit par une perte de rendement au niveau des cabosses réduisant de façon significative les efforts des paysans cultivateurs. Il serait nécessaire de réglementer le contrôle et la distribution des semences saines et/ou matériels de culture sains, la sélection des variétés, l’éducation des paysans pour l’amélioration des techniques culturales et la maitrise des différents paramètres agronomiques.
Value Alignment for Advanced Artificial Judicial Intelligence
Authors: Winter Christoph , Hollman Nicholas , Manheim David 
Published: March 2023

AbstractThis paper considers challenges resulting from the use of advanced artificial judicial intelligence (AAJI). We argue that these challenges should be considered through the lens of value alignment. Instead of discussing why specific goals and values, such as fairness and nondiscrimination, ought to be implemented, we consider the question of how AAJI can be aligned with goals and values more generally, in order to be reliably integrated into legal and judicial systems. This value alignment framing draws on AI safety and alignment literature to introduce two otherwise neglected considerations for AAJI safety: specification and assurance. We outline diverse research directions and suggest the adoption of assurance and specification mechanisms as the use of AI in the judiciary progresses. While we focus on specification and assurance to illustrate the value of the AI safety and alignment literature, we encourage researchers in law and philosophy to consider what other lessons may be drawn.

Application of Kano Model in Risk Identification of Software Development Projects
Authors: Liu Yanchen , Ruan Kai 
Published: March 2023

Risk management and identification of software projects is an important factor in software project management. Software project risks will affect the implementation of the project plans, and if they do, they will affect the project progress, increase the project costs, and even make the software project unfeasible. Risk occurrence can be minimized if risk management and identification are implemented in a project. However, in China, many software development companies do not have the awareness of risk management and identification, or use inappropriate management technology, resulting in software development projects are often delayed, beyond the budget or even failed. Successful project management requires good risk management and identification of projects. This study adopts the Ko model to scientifically and reasonably determine the priority of risk management of software projects, and take corresponding countermeasures for different risk factors, to ensure the smooth implementation of software projects, and then ensure the completion of them and the realization of objectives. This ensures the successful completion of software projects and optimal management with limited resources.
