Prevalence of selected cardiometabolic risk factors in the global ART-naïve HIV infected population: A protocol for a systematic review and meta-analysis
Authors: Ebasone Peter Vanes , Peer Nasheeta , Dzudie Anastase , Kengne Andre Pascal 
Published: June 2023

IntroductionPeople living with HIV/AIDS (PLHIV) are at increased risk of cardiometabolic diseases attributable to the effects of the virus, antiretroviral therapy (ART) and traditional risk factors. Most studies have focused on assessing the effect of ART on cardiometabolic diseases in PLHIV with fewer studies assessing the cardiometabolic risk profile prior to exposure to ART. Therefore, this protocol is for a systematic review and meta-analysis to estimate the global prevalence of selected cardiometabolic risk factors in ART-naïve PLHIV and their association with HIV specific factors.MethodsWe shall conduct a systematic search of observational studies on the prevalence of obesity, hypertension, diabetes, and dyslipidaemia in ART-naïve PLHIV and their association with HIV specific characteristics. We will search PubMed-MEDLINE, CINAHL, SCOPUS, Academic Search Premier, Africa-Wide Information and Africa Journals Online databases to identify relevant studies published before June 2022. Two authors will independently screen, select studies, extract data, and conduct risk of bias assessments. Disagreements between the two authors will be resolved by consensus or consulting a third reviewer. Data consistently reported across studies will be pooled using random-effects meta-analysis. Heterogeneity will be evaluated using Cochrane’s Q statistic and quantified using I2statistics. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analysis protocols (PRISMA-P) 2015 guidelines are used for the reporting of this protocol.DiscussionThis review will help determine the burden of selected cardiometabolic diseases in ART-naïve HIV-infected populations and the contribution of HIV infection, independent of ART, to cardiometabolic diseases in PLHIV. It will provide new information that can help orientate future research and potentially guide healthcare policy making. This is part of a thesis that will be submitted to the Faculty of Health Sciences, University of Cape Town, for the award of a PhD in Medicine with protocol ethical clearance number (UCT HREC 350/2021).RegistrationPROSPERO:CRD42021226001.https://www.crd.york.ac.uk/prospero/display_record.php?ID=CRD42021226001.
REGRESI SPASIAL UNTUK PREDIKSI PENDAPATAN PETANI BERDASARKAN RELASI INDEKS VEGETASI, HASIL PANEN PADI, DAN PERUBAHAN JUMLAH HUJAN

Menjadi petani di Negara beriklim tropis seperti Indonesia, kemampuan memahami kondisi iklim sebagai faktor utama yang dapat membantu menentukan keberhasilan budidaya pertanian yang dilakukan. Tidak terkecuali pada petani padi sawah, kondisi iklim berupa pergantian musim berpengaruh pada terjadinya fluktuasi jumlah curah hujan dan menjadi penentu baik atau tidaknya tumbuh tanaman padi. Studi ini fokus untuk mengkaji relasi spasial dari adanya perubahan jumlah hujan yang didapat dari hasil interpolasi inverse distance weighted (IDW) dan perubahan indeks vegetasi dari normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) dari multi-temporal citra Sentinel 2, terhadap jumlah hasil panen padi petani yang diperoleh dari hasil wawancara. Relasi dari ketiganya akan menghasilkan suatu prediksi pendapatan petani dalam setiap musim tanam berdasarkan model regresi tunggal dan berganda. Hasil dari kajian ini diperoleh adanya variasi nilai akurasi prediksi pendapatan petani yang bertambah baik berdasarkan nilai root mean square error (RMSE), yakni 0.18-0.19 untuk relasi berganda antara hasil panen padi terhadap jumlah curah hujan dan NDVI, dan 0.535-0.659 untuk model regresi tungal terhadap NDVI. Dari nilai RMSE terbaik, diperoleh prediksi pendapatan petani padi berkisar antara Rp. 2.4– 4.7 juta per ¼ hektar di setiap musim tanamnya.
Migration und Prekarität in der Pandemie
Authors: Birke Peter , Neuhauser Johanna 
Published: June 2023

Zusammenfassung
Dieser Text diskutiert anhand von empirischen Studien aus Deutschland und Österreich die „multiple Prekarität“ migrantischer Arbeiter:innen in der Pandemie. Im Mittelpunkt stehen dabei Sektoren, die gerade auch in der Covid-19-Krise für problematische Arbeitsbedingungen öffentlich kritisiert worden sind und in genau dieser Zeit einen ökonomischen Boom erlebt haben. Es steht hier, angesichts der Masseninfektionen in solchen Sektoren, zunächst die Frage nach gesundheitlichen Herausforderungen im Raum, die wir sodann mit Fragen nach der Informalisierung von Beschäftigung, einer Analyse zum Zusammenhang zwischen Aufenthaltsregimen, sozialen Rechten und Prekarität sowie der Diskussion zur Rassifizierung von Zuschreibungen im Arbeitsprozess systematisieren. Zudem stellt sich die Frage nach Veränderungspotenzialen und Teilhabe von Arbeitenden, die mit „multipler Prekaritat“ konfrontiert sind.
Informal Networked Deliberation: How Mass Deliberative Democracy Really Works
Authors: Tanasoca Ana 
Published: June 2023

AbstractDeliberative democracy started out as an ideal for mass democracy. Lately, however, its large-scale ambitions have mostly been shelved. This article revivifies the ideal of mass deliberative democracy by offering a clear mechanism by which everyone in the community can be included in the same conversation. The trick is to make use of people’s overlapping social communicative networks through which informal deliberative exchanges already occur on an everyday basis. Far from being derailed by threats of polarization, echo chambers, and motivated reasoning, informal networked deliberation can indeed put everyone in touch, directly or indirectly, with everyone else.
From Prejudice to Polarization and Rejection of Democracy
Authors: Pickel Gert , Pickel Susanne 
Published: June 2023

AbstractWith the growing success of right-wing populism, there has been an explosion of debates on polarization and social cohesion. In part, social cohesion is seen as being disrupted by right-wing populists and those who blame migration for this alleged disruption of cohesion. The developing polarization is not only social, but also political, so that in some cases there is already talk of a new cleavage. On the one hand, there are right-wing populists, people who do not want any major changes or who have problems with globalization; on the other hand, there are those who want to push through a transformation towards a ‘truly’ pluralistic society. Two issues in particular serve as bridges for this polarization: Muslim migration and the expansion of sexual and gender diversity. Positions on these two issues mark the content that facilitates the consolidation of opposing group identities. As a result, debates about values and identity dominate, leading to a polarization that reaches far into society.

Abstract
We develop a new approach to

L^{\infty}

-a priori estimates for degenerate complex Monge–Ampère equations on complex manifolds.
It only relies on compactness and envelopes properties of quasi-plurisubharmonic functions.
In a prequel [Quasi-plurisubharmonic envelopes 1: Uniform estimates on Kähler manifolds, preprint (2021), https://arxiv.org/abs/2106.04273], we have shown how this method allows one to obtain new and efficient proofs of several fundamental results in Kähler geometry.
In [Quasi-plurisubharmonic envelopes 2: Bounds on Monge–Ampère volumes, Algebr. Geom.
9 (2022), 6, 688–713], we have studied the behavior of Monge–Ampère volumes on hermitian manifolds.
We extend here the techniques of the former to the hermitian setting and use the bounds established in the latter, producing new relative a priori estimates, as well as several existence results for degenerate complex Monge–Ampère equations on compact hermitian manifolds.
Babi Yar from Outside the USSR
Authors: Kovrigina Asia 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
This paper analyses the reception of Babi Yar: A Document in the Form of a Novel outside the USSR (England, United States, France). Actually, the censored version of the novel was more critically acclaimed than its full version published after Kuznetsov’s defection to the West. The poor reception may be partly due to the fact that Babi Yar did not match the canon of Holocaust literature.
A review of rutting in asphalt concrete pavement
Authors: Albayati Amjad H. 
Published: June 2023

AbstractUndoubtedly, rutting in asphalt concrete pavement is considered a major dilemma in terms of pavement performance and safety faced by road users as well as the road authorities. Rutting is a bowl-shaped depression in the wheel paths that develop gradually with the increasing number of load applications. Heavy axle loadings besides the high pavement summer temperature enhance the problem of rutting. According to the AASHTO design equation for flexible pavements, a 1.1 in rut depth will reduce the present serviceability index of relatively new pavement, having no other distress, from 4.2 to 2.5. With this amount of drop in serviceability, the entire life of the pavement in effect has been lost. Therefore, it is crucial to look at the mechanism, possible reasons, as well as techniques, to reduce the rutting in order to offer long service life and safe roadways. To this end, the need has been arising for this research which deals mainly with a thorough review of the existing literature to highlight some key points for the researchers and pavement engineers related to rutting mechanism, measurement, and criteria, both intrinsic (mixture variables) and extrinsic (traffic and temperature) contributory factors to rutting, material characterization, test methods, and prediction methodologies, as well as possible ways to minimize the rutting distress in asphalt concrete pavement. So far, this research attempts to bridge the gap in the literature that frequently only addresses a single aspect of rutting by providing an in-depth review of rutting in asphalt concrete and thereby offers a complete comprehensive understanding of this major distress type.
Parameter estimation and model selection for water vapour sorption of welded bond-line of European beech and Scots pine
Authors: Vaziri Mojgan , Dreimol Christopher , Abrahamsson Lars , Niemz Peter , Sandberg Dick 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
The single exponential kinetics (SEK) and parallel exponential kinetics (PEK) models were fitted to kinetic sorption data of welded and unwelded Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) and European beech (Fagus sylvatica L.). Furthermore, diffusion coefficients of water vapour in wood were determined using two different Fickian diffusion solutions. The objective was to identify how well these models could represent the moisture contents of the specimens and to characterize differences between the sorption behaviour of welded and unwelded wood. This knowledge can be used to enhance the moisture resistance of welded wood, develop drying schedules, and improve the quality of timbers. The PEK and SEK models provided the most precise and the second most precise fits to the sorption kinetic data, respectively. The two Fickian models are equivalent when both the infinite series are truncated at

n
=
10

$n=10$

. The Fickian models also exhibited the highest discrepancy with the experimental data. Nevertheless, the Fickian models fit relatively better to the sorption data of the welded wood than to that of the unwelded wood. This behaviour may be due to the rigid and less-swelling structure of the welded bond line.
The impact of moisture on salt treated and 2-step mineralized wood

Published: June 2023

AbstractA treatment to improve the reaction to fire of wood is the wood mineralization. Besides the reaction to fire of the mineralized wood, other mechanical and physical properties are less investigated. In this study, beech and oak were treated in a 2-step mineralization process to obtain calcium oxalate mineralized wood. The 2-step mineralization process is carried out by impregnating two salts diluted in water into the wood, consecutively. Two formulations were applied. For Formulation 1, potassium oxalate and calcium acetate and for Formulation 2 potassium oxalate and calcium chloride were used. Aim of the study is to investigate the impact of the treatments and in combination of the moisture on some selected properties of the mineralized wood. These properties are the swelling due to the mineralization treatment, the Brinell hardness and the volatile organic compounds emissions. The 2-step mineralization treatments increased the moisture adsorption of wood. However, the removal of unreacted precursors due to leaching provides a material with comparable moisture dynamics to untreated wood. Swelling, hardness and volatile organic compounds emissions are decreased by the mineralization. However, leaching of the reaction by-products leads to a material with comparable properties to those of untreated wood.
Evaluation on key technologies for the construction of low-carbon index of electric power based on “double carbon”
Authors: Hou Yinglong , Tai Shujie , Li Xiaoming , Zhang Min , Fu Guankai , Zhang Changqing 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
At a time when global climate change poses a major challenge to human survival and development, all countries believe that people must actively deal with green and low-carbon (LC) development. As one of the hot topics in recent years, the concepts of “carbon neutral” and “carbon peak” have a significant impact on the construction of New Energy (NE) systems. The construction of NE systems with NE as the main component is an important way to achieve the “double carbon” goal. Affected by the “double carbon” goal, the energy system has shifted to a low carbon and high intensity system, reducing the dependence on fossil fuel power generation, accelerating the use of clean energy, and promoting the supply system of low carbon and clean energy. In order to improve the LC construction of electric power, this article studied the key technologies of LC index construction of electric power under the background of “double carbon”. This article first introduced the LC construction of urban electric power, including the connotation of LC electric power, the current situation of NE development and the difficulties of LC construction of electric power in the context of “double carbon”. Then this article constructed a new type of LC Power System (PS) on the basis of double carbon, and introduced the framework of the system and the key technologies included in the system. Finally, this article verified the effectiveness of the new LC PS in LC construction through experiments, and put forward suggestions for the realization of LC power construction. The experiment showed that the new LC PS can greatly promote the construction of the LC index of power, and is conducive to the development of urban power. The proportion of urban non-fossil energy and the new installed capacity of non-fossil energy power generation have been significantly increased. Among the four cities studied in this article, the proportion of non-fossil energy in two cities has increased from less than 50 % to more than 50 %, which has greatly promoted the construction of LC index of electricity.
Influences of unbalance phase combination on the dynamic characteristics for a turboprop engine
Authors: Qing-ping Wang , Fei Wang , Wen-chao Zhang , Wei-feng Zhang 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
To reduce excessive vibration of a turboprop engine with qualified balanced compressor and turbine rotor, the finite element model of the rotor system was established. The magnitude, axial distribution and especially the phase combinations of the residual unbalances were considered and optimized. Based on the numerical results, the whole engine tests were conducted for verification. The numerical and experimental results show that the vibration level of the rotor system can be significantly reduced by only changing the phase combination of the residual unbalances. The magnitude, axial distribution of residual unbalance and rotational speed of the rotor play a very important role in determining the optimal phase combination. The optimal phase combination under different rotational speeds might be conflicting, and reasonably designed optimization would be a feasible solution. The findings of the research can provide important reference for the design and troubleshooting for similar industrial turbine engines.
Maternal diet and gut microbiome composition modulate early‐life immune development

Published: June 2023

AbstractIn early life, the intestinal mucosa and immune system undergo a critical developmental process to contain the expanding gut microbiome while promoting tolerance toward commensals, yet the influence of maternal diet and microbial composition on offspring immune maturation remains poorly understood. We colonized germ‐free mice with a consortium of 14 strains, fed them a standard fiber‐rich chow or a fiber‐free diet, and then longitudinally assessed offspring development during the weaning period. Unlike pups born to dams fed the fiber‐rich diet, pups of fiber‐deprived dams demonstrated delayed colonization with Akkermansia muciniphila, a mucin‐foraging bacterium that can also use milk oligosaccharides. The pups of fiber‐deprived dams exhibited an enrichment of colonic transcripts corresponding to defense response pathways and a peak in Il22 expression at weaning. Removal of A. muciniphila from the community, but maintenance on the fiber‐rich diet, was associated with reduced proportions of RORγt‐positive innate and adaptive immune cell subsets. Our results highlight the potent influence of maternal dietary fiber intake and discrete changes in microbial composition on the postnatal microbiome assemblage and early immune development.

Authors: Vance Ashlee J. , Benjamin Annella , Hsu Jessica , Berry Jay G. 
Published: June 2023

CONTEXT
Care coordination programs are becoming more widely available for children with complex conditions, yet we lack an understanding of programs available to infants and their benefits.

OBJECTIVE
To summarize characteristics and outcomes associated with care coordination programs for infants with complex conditions.

DATA SOURCES
Electronic search of Medline, Embase, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature, and Web of Science databases for articles published from 2010 to 2021.

STUDY SELECTION
Inclusion criteria consisted of (1) peer-reviewed manuscripts about a care coordination program, (2) infants (birth to 1 year) with complex medical conditions, (3) and reported at least 1 infant, parent, or healthcare utilization outcome.

DATA EXTRACTION
Data were extracted on program characteristics and outcomes (eg, infant, parent, and healthcare utilization and cost). Results were summarized by program characteristics and outcomes.

RESULTS
The search returned 3189 studies. Twelve unique care coordination programs were identified from 17 studies in the final sample. Seven programs were hospital-based and 5 were outpatient-based. Most programs reported improvements with satisfaction with care, increased interactions with healthcare teams, reductions in infant mortality, and in health service use. A few programs reported increased costs related to staffing.

LIMITATIONS
Few care coordination programs were identified specifically for infants and thus studies that did not report age categories (ie, infants) may not have been identified.

CONCLUSIONS
Care coordination programs demonstrate cost reductions for health systems, families, and insurers and improvement in quality of care. Efforts to increase the uptake and sustain these beneficial programs need further exploration.
Flexural Strength and Behavior of Flat Steel Plate-Concrete Composite Beams
Authors: Hassan Kawan , Saeed Jalal 
Published: June 2023

Steel rebar’s are widely used as main flexural reinforcement in reinforced concrete beams. It’s quite attractive to explore the use of another type of material for this purpose. This study aims to investigate the flexural behavior of reinforced concrete beams using steel checker plates instead of traditional steel rebar’s.
In this study fourteen simply supported beams where cast and tested under two-point loads. All the beams had the same steel reinforcement and the dimensions of 2000 mm in length, 250 mm in height and 200mm in width, twelve specimens of these beams were reinforced by horizontal and vertical checker steel plates having total thickness (12mm) with different arrangements and end anchorages. Two of these specimen beams were control beams reinforced with rebar’s. The main variables of the research arrangement, number and anchorage of steel checker plates. Based on the experimental results it found that there is a reduction in crack load and ultimate load of composite steel checker plate beams as compared to reinforced beams. In contrast there was observed increment in ductility of checker steel plate beams compared with beam reinforced with normal rebar’s, while in different arrangements (vertical and horizontal) of steel plates, with same cross sectional area when the number of checker plates increased the load also increased by 14% 12% and 8% also 11%, 23% and 27% for both cracking and ultimate loads respectively. Also the deflection of steel checker plate beams after failure was more than steel bars

Стаття присвячена аналізу ролі держави на внутрішньому ринку позичкових капіталів України. Зроблено висновок, що зростання державних запозичень протидіялоактивній кредитній політиці, не змогло перешкодити виникненню в 2015–2018 рр. серйозної напруженості на ринку позичкового капіталу. Ринок позичкових капіталівстав виконувати не властиву йому функцію — завдяки позикам держава здійснює монетизацію статутного капіталу державних банків, відшкодовує суми податку на додану вартість та ін. Встановлено, що внаслідок різкого збільшення державних запозичень баланс взаємовідносин держави та ринку позичкових капіталів став негативним. Акумуляція державою значних грошових коштів на внутрішньому ринку позикових капіталів «підштовхувала» зростання процентних ставок. Характерноюособливістю розвитку ринку позичкових капіталів в Україні за останнє десятиріччя є посилення процесів централізації і перерозподілу вільних коштів з боку держави.
