THE DISOURSE OF GLORIFYING WATER IN THE BALINESE SCRIPTUAL TRADITION TO SUPPORT THE AGRICUTURAL CULTURE AS THE IMPLEMENTATION OF “NANGUN SAD KRTI LOKA BALI”
Authors: Suardiana I Wayan 
Published: March 2023

This current study is intended to investigate the importance of glorifying water especially in agriculture as explicitly mentioned in the Balinese traditional texts. The data used in the study is the qualitative data obtained using the library research method and the observation, translating, and note-taking techniques. The data was analyzed using the descriptive-analytic method and the inductive technique. The data analysis is presented using the informal method and the narrative technique. The results of analysis show that the glorification of water, as one of the important components of the farming life in Bali, has been explicitly mentioned in the traditional texts. The sustainability and cleanliness of water, as an important component of the life of the living creatures on earth should be maintained. To this end, it is firmly mentioned in the texts of Manawa Dharma?astra, Canakya Nitisastra, Artha ??stra, dan ?arasamuccaya that it is important to make every attempt to maintain the sustainability of water to allow life to last forever. The objective fact in the field shows that the quality of the water used for irrigating the wet rice fields is inadequate as it has been polluted by different types of wastes.

Published: March 2023

Arcjet flows are known to have significant uncertainties associated with the fundamental flow quantities. A detailed characterization is critical to augment the current understanding of these complex flows as well as developing, screening, and qualifying thermal protection systems. Classically, estimations of skin friction have been made indirectly using heat flux analogies. These techniques, however, are marred by high levels of measurement uncertainty and require a priori assumptions about the flowfield. Directly measuring the wall shear stress removes the demand for these assumptions. A direct measurement of shear stress in supersonic high-enthalpy flow at the Office of Naval Research/University of Texas at Arlington arcjet facility has been conducted. The measured wall shear stress was [Formula: see text] (average combined calibration uncertainty), which matches well with estimations for laminar flow. Two shear stress sensors separated by a distance of 1.905 cm (0.75 in.) were integrated into a 20 deg half-angle shear-wedge platform. The two sensors tracked together within 10% of each other, implying a uniform flowfield over the region studied. Approximately 1.5 s into the test window, a steady increase in skin friction was observed. The cause of this nonphysically accurate increase in the shear stress measurement is discussed.
Efficacy of repeat arterial spin labeling for angiogram-negative ruptured micro-arteriovenous malformation: A case report
Authors: Kochi Ryuzaburo , Suzuki Yasuhiro , Yamazaki Hiroshi , Aikawa Takashi , Endo Hidenori , Tominaga Teiji 
Published: March 2023

Background:
Diagnosing ruptured micro-arteriovenous malformation (AVM) could be difficult using digital subtraction angiography (DSA) in the acute stage, and a repeat DSA is recommended in DSA-negative cases. Arterial spin labeling (ASL) is a useful noninvasive tool for detecting AVM, but the efficacy of a repeat ASL for DSA and ASL-negative ruptured micro-AVM in the acute stage is unclear. Here, we report a case of ruptured micro-AVM that was not detected in the acute stage by ASL but in the chronic stage by ASL.

Case Description:
A 43-year-old man developed right upper-extremity paralysis, and computed tomography (CT) revealed a left frontal lobe hemorrhage. Magnetic resonance imaging, including ASL, CT angiography, and DSA, showed no abnormal findings associated with hemorrhage in the acute stage. The second ASL 93 days after the hemorrhage showed a high signal on the cortical vein of the left frontal lobe and superior sagittal sinus, and subsequent DSA detected a micro-AVM in the left precentral gyrus.

Conclusion:
Repeat ASL is less invasive and useful for detecting micro-AVMs which showed no findings on ASL and DSA in the acute stage.
Challenges related to determining for VAT purposes the status of the goods and services provider using the platform economy
Authors: Rogowska-Rajda Beata , Tratkiewicz Tomasz 
Published: March 2023

Background: The aim of the study was to analyse EU legislation and case law on the VAT status of the provider of goods and services for the platform economy. This issue is becoming increasingly important in the context of a rapidly developing platform economy, using the latest technological developments. The study conducted a comprehensive legal analysis of the issue, at the same time drawing attention to the doubts that exist particularly due to the lack of CJEU judgments on the concept of a taxable person in the platform economy.
Research purpose: The aim of the study was not only to assess the relevant legislation or its interpretation, but above all to draw attention to the need to fill the legislative gap in the area studied, which has led, and may continue to lead, to non-uniform application of VAT rules in the EU Member States.
Methods: The study was carried out predominantly using the empirical-dogmatic method, backed by a historical method and comparative method.
Conclusions: Our analysis demonstrated that the provisions of the VAT Directive do not simply and clearly regulate whether a platform provider is a taxable person. There is also a lack of CJEU jurisprudence addressing this issue; judgments on the ‘traditional’ economy do not seem to ‘fit’ the specifics of the platform economy. In our opinion, legislative changes are needed, especially the VAT Directive, which would take into account the specifics of transactions in the platform economy. We present preliminary proposals that can be taken into account in the legislative work on the European Commission’s recently proposed provisions in this area.
A discussion of stronger public policies to protect and promote healthy diets: what can the U.S. learn from other countries?
Authors: Mialon Mélissa , Naik Ashka 
Published: March 2023

The aim of this paper is to contribute to global discussion on public health policies for protecting and promoting healthy diets, as it is advancing in the U.S. This discussion assesses specific cases of successful policy making from several countries across the world, often against industry resistance. We discuss five key public policies and interventions: i) food labeling; ii) marketing restrictions and healthy school food policies; iii) fiscal policies; iv) models for classifying the (un)healthiness of a product; v) interventions to address food industry influence and conflicts of interest in public health policy. The paper also argues how the U.S can adapt or adopt some of these public policies, while also preparing for the challenges from the ultra-processed food industry that may perceive these advances as threats to its business. We conclude the discussion by postulating that the U.S. is primed to advance several of these initiatives that have already been espoused in law and evaluated to be effective in other countries. The U.S. will have unique challenges, as many of the food industry actors have deep political influence on American politics and markets, although these global lessons can enable the legislative, policy, and civil society ecosystems with additional tools and strategies to progress policy movement toward defending people’s health and wellbeing over industry’s influence and profit.

Authors: Sri Handani Widiastuti  , Nur Imansyah  , Abdul Zain  
Published: March 2023

The course Algorithms and Programming in the Informatics Engineering study program is given in the first and second semesters, as this course is a scientific course that serves as a basis for advanced programming courses in higher semesters. It is often the case that intelligent graduates obtain good academic grades during their studies and become outstanding students, but when working in their field of expertise, their performance is not as good as graduates who had lower academic grades. Success is not only determined by intellectual intelligence (IQ), but also by other types of intelligence. Intellectual intelligence or cognitive intelligence is one type of intelligence, while non-intellectual intelligence includes other types of intelligence outside of cognitive intelligence. One of this non-intellectual intelligence is emotional intelligence. Intellectual intelligence and non-intellectual intelligence play equally important roles in supporting individual success.
This research discusses the analysis of the effect of emotional intelligence on the level of understanding of algorithms and programming using the linear regression method implemented with an application. The sample taken is students of the Informatics Engineering study program in the third and fourth semesters. With the results of the influence of emotional intelligence on the understanding of Algorithms and Programming, it can provide a solution to improve students' understanding of the Algorithms and Programming course and other computer courses in the scientific field of the Informatics Engineering study program. The application is created using the Python programming language

The impact of cholecalciferol on cognitive performance in patients with hypothyroidism and autoimmune thyroiditis
Authors: Kamyshna I. I. 
Published: March 2023

Hashimoto’s thyroiditis is a chronic autoimmune thyroiditis characterized by lymphocytic infiltration that may result in the gradual loss of thyroid tissue. According to a study, even with normal thyroid function, autoimmune thyroiditis can cause neuroinflammation, leading to emotional changes and mental disorders. Although the mechanism is unclear, some research indicates that vitamin D has a beneficial effect on autoimmune thyroid diseases. The relationship between serum vitamin D levels and cognitive impairment in patients with autoimmune thyroiditis has been established in clinical studies.
Objective — to investigate the impact of cholecalciferol on cognitive function in patients with hypothyroidism and autoimmune thyroiditis in the Western Ukrainian population.
Materials and methods. The study involved 56 patients diagnosed with hypothyroidism resulting from autoimmune thyroiditis. These patients were divided into two groups. Group 1 (n=28) received cholecalciferol at a dose of 4000 IU/day (28.000 IU/week) and L‑thyroxine (88.39±12.70 mg/day), while Group 2 (n=28) received only L‑thyroxine (87.50±12.73 mg/ day). Assessments were conducted at the start and end of a 12‑week treatment period, and cognitive function was measured using the Mini‑Mental State Examination. The results showed a decline in cognitive function.
Results. Following the treatment course, patients demonstrated an improvement in cognitive function. In Group 1, where patients were treated with cholecalciferol and L‑thyroxine, the proportion of patients with moderate (pre‑dementia) cognitive impairment decreased from 50% to 21.4%. However, there were no significant changes observed in the group that received only L‑thyroxine. Normalization of cognitive function as determined by the MMCE test increased from 28.6% to 78.6% in Group 1, and from 21.4% to 50% in Group 2 patients.
Conclusions. Based on our findings, vitamin D supplements should be given to patients diagnosed with autoimmune thyroiditis and hypothyroidism in order to enhance cognitive function.
Modern approaches to the management of patients with obesity (according to the materials of the Consensus of the American Gastroenterological Association in 2022)

Published: March 2023

Over the past few decades, the prevalence of obesity has increased dramatically worldwide. Obesity‑related complications such as cardiovascular disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes mellitus, nonalcoholic steatohepatitis, obstructive sleep apnea, osteoarthritis, and certain cancers (eg, colorectal cancer) have also increased, contributing to the high incidence and mortality. Lifestyle modification is the mainstay of long‑term treatment for obesity, but it has limited effectiveness and durability for most people. Pharmacotherapies developed and approved for the long‑term management of obesity are more effective in achieving weight loss, although the daily use of anti‑obesity medications is limited for many reasons. Prioritizing the development of clinical guidelines to inform the use of pharmacologic therapy for the long‑term treatment of obesity in adults, the American Gastroenterological Association published its consensus in 2022 that addresses the important desired (benefits) and undesired (harms) pharmacotherapy outcomes for patients. Outcomes of critical decision‑making included percent of total body weight loss (TBWL), proportion of patients achieving >5%, >10%, and >15% TBWL, discontinuations due to side effects, and serious adverse events. The mean difference of 3% of TBWL between adjunctive pharmacotherapy and lifestyle modification alone, or an absolute 5% of TBWL above the baseline, was considered as a minimal clinically important difference in the effectiveness of pharmacotherapy in the treatment of obesity that corresponded to important benefits for patients. The strength of evidence for all outcomes was assessed using the GRADE system, in which evidence from randomized clinical trials was interpreted as high‑certainty, and confidence in the evidence conveyed confidence in the effect estimates. For each outcome, the evidence was divided into 4 categories (high, moderate, low or very low). According to the GRADE approach, recommendations were marked as «strong» when the phrase «we recommend» was used, or «conditional» when the phrase «we suggest» was used. The guideline panel made 9 recommendations and strongly recommended the use of pharmacotherapy in addition to lifestyle intervention in adults with overweight and obesity who have an inadequate response to the lifestyle interventions. Four drugs have been approved by FDA for long‑term use in obesity: liraglutide 3.0 mg/day, semaglutide 2.4 mg/week, phentermine‑topiramate ER, and naltrexone‑bupropion ER. They are considered to have moderate to significant effects on weight loss and little or no harm, so these drugs have a positive balance in favor of their long‑term use. Unfortunately, the last three drugs are not registered in Ukraine.

One of the most effective methods of thyroid nodules diagnosis is the fine‑needle aspiration puncture biopsy (FNAPB), allowing evaluation of the cytological characteristics of thyroid tumors. To improve the diagnostic efficiency of cytological investigations, additional methods can be implemented, including cytochemical determination of dipeptidyl aminopeptidase (DAP IV).
Objective — to analyze and establish the DAP IV activity thresholds, at which the probability of detecting papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) and its metastases in lymph nodes is clinically significant in patients with cytological conclusion of the TBSRTC IV category.
Materials and methods. For the first time in Ukraine, an analysis was made of the possibility of using DAP IV to predict papillary cancer and its metastases in cases of tumors with TBSRTC IV using ROC analysis to determine the threshold values of DAP IV activity, defining the clinically significant probability of metastases.
Results. It has been established that 6 is the cut‑off DAP IV value for diagnosis of papillary thyroid cancer, and 8 is the cut‑off point for the presence of its metastatic deposits. Thus, in case of DAP IV activity values between 6 and 8, the probability of papillary thyroid cancer diagnosis and its metastases significantly increases. The prognostic value of a positive result, i.e. obtaining a malignant diagnosis with DAP IV 6 activity, is 85.1%, which can be interpreted as high. With increasing DAP IV activity in patients with TBSRTC IV category, the probability of the reveal of papillary thyroid cancer metastases increases (threshold value of activity for DAP IV metastases 8 with counter sensitivity 0.267).
Conclusions. The obtained results allow a practitioner to choose treatment options: with values of DAP IV <6, the alternative therapies or active monitoring can be used, and with DAP IV <8, the need for preventive dissection may not be advisory.
