Published: August 2023

Background: Hyperpigmentation is the third most common dermatological disorder and has major psychosocial impairment. It comes in a variety of forms. The most well-known are age spots, freckles, melasma and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. Hyperpigmentation in friction-prone areas (armpits, inner thighs, elbows, knees, groin, etc.) has a significant impact on affected individuals. Unfortunately, there are currently no well-tolerated options available that are intended particularly for these sensitive areas.
Methods: Dermatologists across India were provided a questionnaire consisting of questions related to number of the patients seen with hyperpigmentation in intimate & high friction areas every week and their clinical experience regarding the use of Pigmentbio Sensitive areas containing active ingredients (Andrographolide+Glabridin+Lysine azelate+Laminaria ochroleuca extract). The results were analyzed using a visual analogue scale.
Results: The study included a total of 1402 patients, and 75 dermatologists provided complete responses. The majority (96%) of the dermatologists recommended Pigmentbio Sensitive areas for intimate & high friction areas. These dermatologists also rated tolerability and safety of Pigmentbio Sensitive areas as "excellent" to "good" based on various criteria. These included tolerability after waxing and shaving the bikini line, soothing effect after mechanical erythema from taking off tight clothing, hydrating power when compared to other products, cosmetic acceptability for frictional and intimate areas, and safety on intimate areas.
Conclusions: This study findings indicated that Pigmentbio Sensitive areas is a preferred formulation by dermatologists across India for the management of hyperpigmentation in intimate & high friction areas with proven tolerability and safety.

Dans notre article nous nous sommes posé pour but d’étudier la présentation multidimensionnelle du mot pain présent dans des proverbes français et ukrainiens, et d’analyser ses caractérictiques lexico-sémantiques, sa portée et son originalité socioculturelles. Étant une partie intégrante de notre vie quotidienne, le pain se présente d’abord comme un aliment de base, un élément vital, mais aussi comme un objet éminemment historique, mental et national. La notion de ‘pain’ évolue à travers l’histoire des sociétés, accumule les marques et spécificités identitaires, exprime son symbolisme et sa perception émotionnelle.
Les proverbes en tant que vérités collectives fixées dans la mémoire nationale s’avèrent des procédés efficaces pour une recherce comparative. Ils servent de source permettant de se demander une fois de plus quels sont les habitudes culturelles, les valeurs morales, les jugements spirituels d’un peuple, mais aussi de constater comment ces vérités passent dans les valeurs universelles. Notre intérêt vient d’abord du constat de la particularité des proverbes relatifs à la notion de ‘pain’ aussi bien au niveau linguistique (forme, structure) que sémantique (contenu). Nous avons pris en considération l’influence translinguistique et le fonctionnement de ses caractéristiques typologiques dans les deux langues, le français et l’ukrainien. Cette notion peut paraître simple mais notre étude montre que sa présentation révèle une richesse lexico-sémantique importante et une figuralité identitaire avec une éventuelle manifestation de ressemblances ou de divergences dans les deux langues. Outre sa simplicité et sa large étendue sémantique ce mot se caractérise également par la diversité d’applications au niveau pragmatique, stylistique et cognitif.
Le corpus de proverbes relevé dans différentes sources lexicographiques et internet a été analysé de façon complexe comprenant aussi des caractéristiques stylistiques et cognitives du mot pain. Le recours à la traduction nous a permis d’expliciter les divergences sémantiques et lexico-syntaxiques de la présentation du pain dans les proverbes français et ukrainiens. En raison de la richesse quantitative de matériaux, nous avons limité l’éventail thématique aux aspects du pain relatifs à la religion, à la notion de ‘Patrie’, à des phénomènes de la nature, à quelques traditions culturelles et culinaires dans les deux pays. Notre approche prétend apporter certaines explications des particularités expressives et cognitives sur la notion de ‘pain’ à travers une étude comparative de sa présentation en français et en ukrainien.
L’expression « pain du ciel » dans l’Évangile de saint Jean à la lumière de l’Ancien Testament
Authors: Wróbel Mirosław S. 
Published: August 2023

Dans le discours eucharistique, inclus dans l’Évangile de Jean, Jésus emploie plusieurs fois le terme de « pain » en référence au sacrement de l’Eucharistie (Jn 6, 22-71). Une des expressions les plus marquantes employée par Jésus est « pain du ciel ». Dans cette article, l’auteur cherche à répondre aux questions suivantes : pourquoi Jésus emploie cette expression ? quelle est la relation entre « le pain du ciel » et « la manne » ? quels textes de l’Ancien Testament permettent de mieux comprendre cette expression ? que signifie-t-elle pour Jésus ? Cette analyse rendra possible une pénétration plus profonde du mystère du sacrement de l’Eucharistie décrit dans l’Évangile de Jean.
A Mathematical Simulation of the Influence a CMG Catheter’s Frequency Response on Urodynamic Diagnosis
Authors: Mackay A M , Harris N M 
Published: August 2023

Urodynamics comprises urine flow testing, ultrasound estimation of post-void residual, and Cystometry with filling and voiding phases [1]. Cystometry is the concurrent pressure measurement from the bladder and an abdominal control site, with parallel urine flow measurement. Using conventional water filled catheters, pressures are referenced to atmospheric pressure and the physical height of the external pressure transducer. Cystometry facilitates assessment of detrusor strength, and weakness or obstruction in the tract below.
Video Urodynamics (VUDS) adds fluoroscopy to these physiological measurements, and allows differential diagnosis of pathology in Stress Urinary Incontinence (SUI) as well as surveillance of upper tract integrity [2]. A cysto-urethrogram is a non-invasive alternative to VUDS, allowing the whole urinary tract to be visualised during micturition. [3] It sacrifices pressure data, but can include a measurement of flow rate [4]

Property and real estate industry is one of the fastest growing sectors in Indonesia’s macroeconomic development. In many countries, it is frequently used as an indicator of crisis as this industry is becoming an important sector of the country. Because it opens up opportunities that lead to Indonesia’s revenue (gross domestic product).
In Indonesia, Astra Group is fully dedicated to ensuring the long-term success of its business and strives to be a source of pride for the nation. As part of its commitment, Astra Group expanded its operations into the property sector in 2013, leading to the establishment of Astra Property, which is the focus of this research. Astra Property is determined to raise the standards of property development across all segments, making a positive contribution to the quality of life and society as a whole. The company's vision is to become the most preferred and trustworthy property company. In order to carry out its daily business activities, Astra Property has established a set of values and a culture that are expected to be embraced by both management and employees. However, given the nature of the property industry, it is crucial for Astra Property to effectively maintain and manage its knowledge resources. This becomes even more important considering factors such as employee turnover, the influx of new hires, and the need for agility within the organization. Surprisingly, no assessment has been conducted to evaluate the current state of knowledge management within Astra Property.
Based on the survey results utilizing the APO KM Maturity Assessment tool, the total score obtained for Astra Property is 138.98. This indicates that Astra Property has implemented knowledge management on a company-wide scale, but standardization and formalization are yet to be achieved. There are several things that Astra Property can do to improve their current conditions : establish a knowledge-sharing culture, create a centralized knowledge repository and system, Implement knowledge capture processes, encourage continuous learning, and measure and evaluate knowledge management efforts by develop metrics and key performance indicators (KPIs) to assess the effectiveness of knowledge management practices.

This service is motivated by the existence of the Fun Clean School Movement (GSBM) which is integrated to shape the character of children to become religious, independent, and intelligent individuals like the motto of the City of South Tangerang. Meaningful education does not only think about scientific thinking, but needs to be integrated with characters that include various aspects of supporting the skills of elementary school-aged children. This service aims to provide an understanding of the concept of learning arts, culture and crafts in elementary schools whose development target is elementary school age. Combining the theory of development of elementary school-aged children, it was found that the learning content in the subjects of arts, culture and crafts can develop character in children through the scope of ecoprinting material. The stages of implementing this community service activity include: 1) Planning, 2) Implementation (training, mentoring and practice), 3) Evaluation. This service resulted in learning designs for Cultural Arts and Crafts, especially ecoprinting techniques in various media to support the Fun Clean School Movement (GSBM) program in strengthening KDP and the effectiveness of integrating arts and crafts learning in various media in supporting the Fun Clean School Movement (GSBM) as one of the ways to support character education.
Habilidade Política e Reputação para o Desempenho de Agentes Privados na interação com Agências Reguladoras
Authors: Pires Vieira Daniel , Reyes Júnior Edgar , De Oliveira Guilherme César 
Published: August 2023

Objetivo da Pesquisa: analisar a relação entre habilidade política, reputação individual e desempenho de agentes privados em suas interações com órgãos reguladores.
Enquadramento Teórico: a presente pesquisa parte dos construtos Habilidade Política e Reputação individual para analisar o desempenho de agentes privados na interação com órgãos reguladores.
Metodologia: trata-se de uma pesquisa quantitativa, com análise de dados primários coletados de funcionários de agências reguladoras federais brasileiras que lidam diretamente com representantes de empresas reguladas. Os questionários foram aplicados de forma presencial e avaliaram a percepção do respondente sobre um representante da iniciativa privada com quem se relacionasse diretamente em suas atividades. As escalas foram adaptadas dos trabalhos de Ferris et al. (2005), para Habilidade Política, de Zinko, Gentry e Laird (2016), para Reputação Pessoal, e de Borman e Motowidlo (1993) para avaliação do desempenho. Para análises foram empregadas as técnicas de análise fatorial e regressão linear múltipla.
Resultados: os resultados evidenciaram que nem todas as dimensões da habilidade política e da reputação individual se associaram de forma significativa ao desempenho no ambiente de trabalho analisado, corroborando a necessidade do estudo dos construtos sob uma perspectiva multidimensional. Verificou-se que a reputação individual exerce uma função mediadora da relação entre habilidade política e desempenho, sugerindo que a habilidade política do indivíduo pode não ser condição suficiente para manutenção do desempenho no ambiente analisado.
Originalidade: o trabalho aborda o contexto de interação entre agências reguladoras e representantes privados, explorando características do agente privado que orientarão o desempenho na defesa de interesses frente às organizações públicas.
Contribuições: os resultados encontrados reforçam as características multidimensionais da Habilidade Política e da Reputação, além de identificarem que as dimensões da Reputação possuem um efeito mediador sobre a relação entre Habilidade Política e Desempenho.

Abstract
Introduction: Fibromyalgia (FM) is a condition of generalized musculoskeletal pain, associated with fatigue, autonomic dysfunction and sleep disorders.
Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is a non-invasive brain stimulation technique, tested in several diseases, including FM and depending on the parameters used, tDCS can reach several brain neural networks, including the central processing network of the pain. Another therapy that promotes analgesia is manual therapy (MT) which is defined as a set of techniques that uses the hands as the main therapeutic agents. Evidence indicates that MT, applied at points along the vagus nerve (VN), may improve pain in patients with chronic pain. This study will examine the immediate and late effects of tDCS associated with MT on the VN pathway in pain in women with FM.
Methods: This is a controlled, randomized, double-blind clinical trial with intention-to-treat analysis that will follow the guidelines of CONSORT (Consolidated Reporting Standards). The study will consist of thirty women diagnosed with FM who will be randomly allocated to the experimental group (tDCS 2 mA active for 20 minutes associated with MT) or to the control group (tDCS for 20 minutes associated with MT sham) and will receive daily sessions of treatment for five days. Outcome measures will occur at the beginning of the study, after the first visit, at the end of treatment and thirty days after the end of treatment.
Discussion: The search for therapies to improve pain in FM is quite challenging, mainly due to the lack of knowledge about its etiopathogenesis and the complexity of symptoms that are associated with it. Thus, the results of this clinical trial may result in an important advance for the rehabilitation of FM patients.

Published: August 2023

Abstract
"Network security" is currently among the crucial areas of computer science. Due to the proliferation of IoT tools and "peer-to-peer" systems, the necessity to mitigate safety concerns is prominent. Intrusion detection in network systems is employed to analyse network packets for malicious activity. Different kinds of attacks, such as "Denial of Service", "Probe", "Remote-to-Local", and "User-to-Root" are instances of unexpected behaviour. Once attacks are spotted, customized alerts can be sent to the personnel responsible. In numerous application fields of information security, intrusion detection is a necessity in the modern era. In this study, we examined the usefulness of several autoencoder types in identifying network intrusions. In this research, a system for network intrusion detection based on Sparse Deep Denoising Autoencoder for dimension reduction was established. If the autoencoder is trained on regular network information, reconstruction error (the dissimilarity between the original and recreated data) is used to identify anomalies. Intrusion Detection System Development utilized standard datasets such as KDDCup99, NSL-KDD, UNSW-NB15, and NMITIDS. The effectiveness of four distinct autoencoders was analysed to identify network attacks. We were able to achieve over 96% accuracy with only reconstruction error by using a sparse deep denoising autoencoder. The primary research aim was to enhance the performance of the network by achieving high intrusion detection precision.
15th century Florentine mural investigated in situ with VNIR Hyperspectral Imaging and NIR Photography supports interpretation as a bloodletting scene

Published: August 2023

Abstract
This study provides new data which suggests a novel interpretative hypothesis not only on the specific painting, but on the use of bloodletting as medical practice in the Florentine Quattrocento. In addition, the technical solutions adopted to implement the measurements campaign are illustrated as an experimental model for remote sensing investigations of paintings studied in situ. The position of the painting high up on a wall of an historical venue led to opting for standalone optical imaging techniques which could operate in remote sensing mode. By combining the use of portable Hyperspectral Imaging with Near Infrared photography a set of detailed images could be obtained that highlighted details not otherwise detectable. Focused on the objects held by the persons present, the analysis of the mural of Visit of the Buonomini in her Lying in Bed, the gift of swaddling cloth could be a tourniquet, shadows of folds of a blanket a thumb lancet, and an object held a blood collection bowl, supported the hypothesis that it could be a medieval bloodletting scene.
Altered neck muscles function during cervical rotation in chronic whiplash-associated disorders improved after neck-specific exercises: a real-time ultrasound case-control study

Published: August 2023

Abstract

The deep cervical muscles are very important for stability and initiation of movement of the cervical spine. A whiplash injury can alter neck muscle function, which remains years after the injury and may explain why symptoms such as persistent pain and disability occur. There is currently limited knowledge of dynamic neck muscle function in chronic whiplash-associated disorders (WAD), and to what extent altered muscle function can improve after rehabilitation. Therefore, we used ultrasound to measure deformation and deformation rate in five dorsal neck muscles in participants with chronic WAD versus matched controls in neck rotation. We accomplished real-time, non-invasive ultrasound measurements with speckle tracking, multivariate and mixed design ANOVA analyses. The results showed altered deformation in the three deepest neck muscle layers, with less deformation area in the WAD group compared to controls in rotation to the most painful side at baseline. Participants in the WAD group performed three months of neck-specific exercises, resulting in improved deformation in the deep neck muscles in WAD and to a similar deformation pattern as controls, and the significant group differences ceased. We reveal new and important insight into the capability of ultrasound to diagnose altered neck muscle function and evaluate an exercise intervention.

Abstract
Background
Typhoid vaccination has been shown to be an effective intervention to prevent enteric fever and is under consideration for inclusion in the national immunization program in Lao PDR.
Methods
A cost-utility analysis was performed using an age-structured static decision tree model to estimate the costs and health outcomes of introducing TCV. Vaccination strategies combined with five delivery approaches in different age groups compared to no vaccination were considered from the societal perspective. The vaccination program was considered to be cost-effective if the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio was less than a threshold of 1 GDP per capita for Lao PDR, equivalent to USD 2,535 in 2020.
Results
In the model, we estimated 172.2 cases of enteric fever, with 1.3 deaths and a total treatment cost of USD 7,244, based on a birth cohort of 164,662 births without TCV vaccination that was followed over their life time. To implement a TCV vaccination program over the lifetime horizon, the estimated cost of the vaccine and administration costs would be between USD 3,081,705 and USD 5,573,490. Implementation of the TCV vaccination program would prevent between 14 to 106 cases and 0.1 to 0.9 deaths. None of the vaccination programs appeared to be cost-effective.
Conclusions
Inclusion of TCV in the national vaccination program in Lao PDR would only be cost-effective if the true typhoid incidence is 150 times higher than our current estimate or if the Gavi vaccine price was used in conjunction with at least a 25-times increase in incidence of typhoid.
