Published: January 2023

Tujuan penelitian ini adalah menjelaskan dinamika perjuangan Kurdi Iraq sebelum dan sesudah era Saddam Hussein. Dalam penelitian ini penulis memaparkan bagaimana dinamika perjuangan Kurdi Iraq dalam memperoleh otonomi wilayahnya serta sikap politik dan gaya kepemimpinan Saddam Hussein. Perjuangan suku Kurdi Iraq yang masih belum membawa hasil dengan krisis yang dialami Baghdad dalam bingkai konflik panjang yang memasuki fase mutually hurting stalemate telah menggiring keduanya untuk memilih jalan negosiasi damai. Meskipun kesepakatan perjanjian perdamaian Baghdad dengan Kurdi terhambat pada masalah Kirkuk, dengan fenomena penarikan pasukan Iraq dari zona wilayah perlindungan PBB dan migrasinya para loyalis Saddam Hussein dari wilayah Iraq Utara menjadikan kesempatan bagi Kurdi untuk mengambil alih wilayah tersebut sehingga pada tahun 1992 dibawah bayang-bayang PBB dan sekutu, KDP dan PUK mengadakan pemilihan bebas dan mendirikan Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) untuk wilayah Arbil, Dohuk, dan Sulaymanya. KRG juga mengubah pejuang Peshmerga yang tidak bersenjata lengkap menjadi kekuatan pertahanan regional yang akan menjaga perdamaian dan stabilitas di wilayah tersebut. Pada saat ini Kurdi mampu menciptakan lingkungan yang aman dan stabil yang kondusif bagi investasi swasta dan publik.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis konsepsi perempuan Moi tentang kesejahteraan dengan memahami kondisi masyarakat pada Distrik Makbon Kabupaten Sorong. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian adalah metode Etnografi dengan pendekatan Antropologi untuk mengetahui mengenai budaya masyarakat lokal dan pendekatan Sosiologi dalam memahami kehidupan masyarakat di Distrik Makbon Kabupaten Sorong melalui observasi dan wawancara dengan informan penelitian. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa konsepsi kesejahteraan perempuan Moi di Makbon memaknai kesejahteraan dalam 3 (Tiga) unsur yaitu Alam, Berbagi dan Bahagia. Sehingga dapat disimpulkan bahwa kesejahteraan tampaknya tidak hanya untuk menggambarkan kondisi kemakmuran material (welfare,being-well atau prosperity), tetapi juga mengarah kepada konsep kebahagiaan (happiness). Oleh sebab itu konsepsi kebahagiaan mendapat perhatian yang lebih besar dibandingkan dengan konsepsi kesejahteraan material maupun kemakmuran ekonomi

Published: January 2023

Background: Local muscle fatigue may have an adverse effect on the biomechanics of the lunge movement and athletic performance. This study analyzed the biomechanical indicators of the forward lunge in badminton players before and after fatigue of the ankle dorsiflexors.Methods: Using the isometric muscular strength testing system, 15 badminton players underwent an ankle dorsiflexor fatigue test. Before and after the fatigue experiment, five lunges were done in both the forehand forward (FH) and backhand forward (BH) directions, five in each direction. A Vicon motion capture system and an AMTI force measuring station were used to record lower limb kinematic and ground reaction force (GRF). Pre-fatigue and post-fatigue variability were determined using paired-samples t-tests, Wilcoxon signed rank test, and Statistical Non-parametric Mapping (SNPM).Result: The results showed that after fatigue, the peak angle of ankle dorsiflexion was significantly reduced (p = 0.034), the range of motion (ROM) of the ankle sagittal plane (p = 0.000) and peak angle of ankle plantarflexion (p = 0.001) was significantly increased after forehand landing. After fatigue, ankle inversion was significantly increased after forehand and backhand landings (FH: p = 0.033; BH: p = 0.015). After fatigue, peak knee flexion angles increased significantly (FH: Max: p = 0.000, Min: p = 0.000; BH: Max: p = 0.017, Min: p = 0.037) during forehand and backhand landings and ROM in knee flexion and extension increased (p = 0.009) during forehand landings. Knee inversion range of motion was significantly increased after fatigue (p = 0.024) during forehand landings. Peak hip flexion angle (p = 0.000) and range of motion (p = 0.000) were significantly reduced in forehand landings after fatigue. The mean loading rate (p = 0.005) and the maximum loading rate (p = 0.001) increased significantly during backhand landings after fatigue. Post-fatigue, the center of pressure (COP) frontal offset increased significantly (FH: p = 0.000; BH: p = 0.000) in the forehand and backhand landings.Conclusion: These results indicate that when the ankle dorsiflexors are fatigued, the performance of the forehand is significantly negatively affected, and the impact force of the backhand is greater.

Published: January 2023

The analysis of mechanobiology of arterial tissues remains an important topic of research for cardiovascular pathologies evaluation. In the current state of the art, the gold standard to characterize the tissue mechanical behavior is represented by experimental tests, requiring the harvesting of ex-vivo specimens. In recent years though, image-based techniques for the in vivo estimation of arterial tissue stiffness were presented. The aim of this study is to define a new approach to provide local distribution of arterial stiffness, estimated as the linearized Young’s Modulus, based on the knowledge of in vivo patient-specific imaging data. In particular, the strain and stress are estimated with sectional contour length ratios and a Laplace hypothesis/inverse engineering approach, respectively, and then used to calculate the Young’s Modulus. After describing the method, this was validated by using a set of Finite Element simulations as input. In particular, idealized cylinder and elbow shapes plus a single patient-specific geometry were simulated. Different stiffness distributions were tested for the simulated patient-specific case. After the validation from Finite Element data, the method was then applied to patient-specific ECG-gated Computed Tomography data by also introducing a mesh morphing approach to map the aortic surface along the cardiac phases. The validation process revealed satisfactory results. In the simulated patient-specific case, root mean square percentage errors below 10% for the homogeneous distribution and below 20% for proximal/distal distribution of stiffness. The method was then successfully used on the three ECG-gated patient-specific cases. The resulting distributions of stiffness exhibited significant heterogeneity, nevertheless the resulting Young’s moduli were always contained within the 1–3 MPa range, which is in line with literature.

Published: January 2023

Metal phosphides with multi-element components and amorphous structure represent a novel kind of electrocatalysts for promising activity and durability towards the oxygen evolution reaction (OER). In this work, a two-step strategy, including alloying and phosphating processes, is reported to synthesize trimetallic amorphous PdCuNiP phosphide nanoparticles for efficient OER under alkaline conditions. The synergistic effect between Pd, Cu, Ni, and P elements, as well as the amorphous structure of the obtained PdCuNiP phosphide nanoparticles, would boost the intrinsic catalytic activity of Pd nanoparticles towards a wide range of reactions. These obtained trimetallic amorphous PdCuNiP phosphide nanoparticles exhibit long-term stability, nearly a 20-fold increase in mass activity toward OER compared with the initial Pd nanoparticles, and 223 mV lower in overpotential at 10 mA cm−2. This work not only provides a reliable synthetic strategy for multi-metallic phosphide nanoparticles, but also expands the potential applications of this promising class of multi-metallic amorphous phosphides.
Seismological reference earth model in South China (SREM-SC): Crust and uppermost mantle
Authors: Hu Jiamin , Sun Weijia , Liu Congcong , Tang Qingya , Fu Li-Yun 
Published: January 2023

The South China Block is located on the eastern margin of the Eurasian Plate and the western margin of the Pacific Plate. The South China Block is currently in a tectonically compressed environment, while the Tibetan Plateau is moving eastward and the Philippine Sea Plate is moving westward from geodetic observations. The South China Block is an ideal place to revisit tectonic history from the Archean to Cenozoic, where its information could be well preserved in the crust. In this study, we aim to build the crustal and uppermost mantle component of the Seismological Reference Earth Model in South China (SREM-SC) to provide a background velocity model for geological interpretations and fine-scale velocity inversion. The S-wave velocity model comes from combining models inverted by ambient noise tomography and surface wave tomography. The P-wave velocity model is obtained from converted S-wave velocity and joint inversion tomography. The density model is inferred from an empirical relationship with P-wave velocity. The Moho depth is obtained by a weighted averaging scheme of previously published receiver function results. The P-wave and S-wave velocity models have a grid interval of 0.5° in both latitude and longitude, and with a vertical sampling interval of 5 km down to the 60 km depth. This work provides the 3-D crust and uppermost mantle structures and a representative reference model beneath South China.
Experiment research and mechanism analysis on rheological properties of tailings slurry

Published: January 2023

The particle size and content of tailings are important parameters affecting the rheological properties of tailings slurry. To explore their influence law and mechanism on rheological properties, the experiments of tailings slurry were designed and carried out under different particle sizes and content conditions. The rheological properties of the tailings slurry were quantified in the paper. The Bingham body model was used in the texperiment. The “double 30” theory (“particle size of 30.0 μm” and “content of 30%“) was proposed and expounded. The corresponding theoretical model is established to analyze the mechanism of the above results. The conclusion is as follows. The tailings slurry agreeed to different rheological models with different particle size and content. The rheological behavior of the tailings slurry conforms to the Herschel-Bulkley model for the tailings, whose particle size is no larger than 30.0 μm and content is no larger than 30%. With the increase of the content of fine tailings, its behavior agrees better with the Bingham model. The yield stress and viscosity of tailings slurry in the process of transportation are in accordance with the laws of “double 30” theory. “Particle size of 30.0 μm” and “content of 30%” is the critical point of rheological characteristics of tailings. Based on the obtained results, the corresponding theoretical model was established to discuss the mechanism. The rheological laws of tailings slurry can provide theoretical guidance for reducing pressure and preventing pipeline wear in the process of tailings cementation discharge and pipeline transportation in an iron mine.

Published: January 2023

BackgroundHypoparathyroidism is an important factor that seriously affects the quality of life of patients after thyroidectomy. This study aimed to optimize the surgical procedure for parathyroid identification using near-infrared autofluorescence (NIRAF) during thyroidectomy.MethodsThis was a prospective controlled study that included 100 patients with primary papillary thyroid carcinoma diagnosed in Beijing Tongren Hospital between June 2021 and April 2022 who were awaiting total thyroidectomy and bilateral neck dissection. The patients were randomly divided into an experimental group in whom step-by-step NIRAF imaging was used to identify parathyroid glands, and a control group in whom NIRAF was not used.ResultsThe number of parathyroid glands identified in the NIRAF group was higher than that in the control group (195 vs. 161, p=0.000, Z=-5.186). The proportion of patients with parathyroid glands inadvertently removed in the NIRAF group was lower than that in the control group (2.0% vs. 18.0%, respectively; p=0.008, χ2 = 7.111). In the NIRAF group, we found that more than 95% of the superior parathyroid glands and more than 85% of the inferior parathyroid glands were identified before the dangerous phase, which was much higher than that in the control group. The incidences of temporary hypoparathyroidism, hypocalcemia, and symptomatic hypocalcemia were higher in the control group than those in the NIRAF group. On the first postoperative day, the average parathyroid hormone (PTH) level in the NIRAF group decreased to 38.1% of the preoperative level and that in the control group decreased to 20.0% of the preoperative level (p=0.000, Z=-3.547). On the third postoperative day, the PTH level in 74% of the patients in the NIRAF group recovered to normal levels, whereas it recovered in only 38% of the patients in the control group (p=0.000, χ2 = 13.149). The PTH levels in all patients in the NIRAF group had recovered within 30 days after surgery, whereas one patient in the control group failed to return to the normal level 6 months after surgery and was diagnosed with permanent parathyroidism.ConclusionsThe step-by-step NIRAF parathyroid identification method can effectively locate the parathyroid gland and protect its function.

IntroductionAsthma is primarily divided into two categories: type 2 (T2-high) and non-type 2 (T2-low). A relationship between asthma severity and vitamin D deficiency has been identified, but its impact on each asthma endotype remains unknown.MethodsWe clinically examined the influence of vitamin D on patients with T2-high (n = 60) or T2-low asthma (n = 36) compared with controls (n = 40). Serum 25(OH)D levels, inflammatory cytokines and spirometry were measured. Mouse models were then used to further analyze the effects of vitamin D on both asthmatic endotypes. BALB/c mice were fed with vitamin D-deficient (LVD), -sufficient (NVD), or -supplemented diets (HVD) throughout lactation and offspring followed the same diet after weaning. Offspring were sensitized/challenged with ovalbumin (OVA) to establish “T2-high” asthma or OVA combined with ozone exposure (OVA + ozone) to induce “T2-low” asthma. Spirometry and serum, bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF), and lung tissues were analyzed.ResultsSerum 25(OH)D levels were decreased in asthmatic patients compared with controls. Patients with vitamin D deficiency (Lo) had varying degrees of elevation of the pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-5, IL-6, and IL-17A, decreased expression of the anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10, and altered forced expiratory volume in the first second as a percentage of predicted value (FEV1%pred) in both asthmatic endotypes. Vitamin D status had a stronger correlation with FEV1%pred in T2-low asthma than T2-high asthma, and 25(OH)D level was only positively linked to maximal mid-expiratory flow as a percentage of predicted value (MMEF%pred) in the T2-low group. Inflammation, hyperresponsiveness, and airway resistance (RL) was increased in both asthma models compared with controls while vitamin D deficiency further increased airway inflammation and airway obstruction. These findings were particularly prominent in T2-low asthma.DiscussionThe potential function and mechanisms of vitamin D and both asthma endotypes should be studied individually, and further analysis of the potential signaling pathways involved with vitamin D on T2-low asthma is warranted.

BackgroundImmunity acquired from natural SARS-CoV-2 infection and vaccine wanes overtime. This longitudinal prospective study compared the effect of a booster vaccine (BNT162b2) in inducing the mucosal (nasal) and serological antibody between Covid-19 recovered patients and healthy unexposed subjects with two dose of mRNA vaccine (vaccine-only group).MethodEleven recovered patients and eleven gender-and-age matched unexposed subjects who had mRNA vaccines were recruited. The SARS-CoV-2 spike 1 (S1) protein specific IgA, IgG and the ACE2 binding inhibition to the ancestral SARS-CoV-2 and omicron (BA.1) variant receptor binding domain were measured in their nasal epithelial lining fluid and plasma.ResultIn the recovered group, the booster expanded the nasal IgA dominancy inherited from natural infection to IgA and IgG. They also had a higher S1-specific nasal and plasma IgA and IgG levels with a better inhibition against the omicron BA.1 variant and ancestral SARS-CoV-2 when compared with vaccine-only subjects. The nasal S1-specific IgA induced by natural infection lasted longer than those induced by vaccines while the plasma antibodies of both groups maintained at a high level for at least 21 weeks after booster.ConclusionThe booster benefited all subjects to obtain neutralizing antibody (NAb) against omicron BA.1 variant in plasma while only the Covid-19 recovered subjects had an extra enrichment in nasal NAb against omicron BA.1 variant.

To help evaluate the distribution, residency, population size and structuring (and hence conservation status) of the poorly known false killer whalePseudorca crassidensin northern Australian waters, we undertook studies of sightings, movement patterns based on satellite telemetry, and genetics. Sighting data indicates that false killer whales are regular, year-round inhabitants of coastal areas of northern Australia. Satellite-tagged animals spent extended periods of time in shallow coastal waters, with no tagged animals leaving the continental shelf. The lack of spatial overlap in the areas visited by individuals tagged in the Arafura/Timor Seas compared to those tagged in the Gulf of Carpentaria suggests that there may be more than one population in northern Australia coastal waters. All 14 genetic samples collected across 1600 km of coastline possessed the same newly identified mitochondrial control region haplotype, designated haplotype 45. Notably, haplotype 45 is distinct from all previously published false killer whale haplotypes globally and is most similar to the two haplotypes that typify the endangered main Hawaiian Islands insular false killer whale population. Based on these results and evidence from recent movement records of those tagged, false killer whales in northern Australia are apparently demographically independent from the offshore population(s). Further assessment of the population conservation status is now required.
