The Death of Law
Authors: Mattei Ugo 
Published: November 2022

Abstract
This is a talk about the decline and fall of constitutional law, an overarching characteristic of the new millennium. I focus on the period from the end of the Cold War—once described as the end of history—to what I call the “Second Cold War” beginning in the second decade of this century and having escalated in the proxy war in Ukraine. The Second Cold War is also characterized by an aborted cooptation of China through the World Trade Organization (to tame China’s seemingly unstoppable ascension to global supremacy) as well as a state of permanent emergency.

Abstract
Physical well-being depends essentially on how the own body is perceived. A missing correspondence between the perception of one’s own body and reality can be distressing and eventually lead to mental illness. The touch of the own body is a multi-sensory experience to strengthen the feeling of the own body. We have developed an interaction technique that allows the self-touch of the own body in an immersive environment to support therapy procedures. Through additional visual feedback, we want to strengthen the feeling for the own body to achieve a sustainable effect in the own body perception. We conducted an expert evaluation to analyse the potential impact of our application and to localize and fix possible usability problems. The experts noted the ease of understanding and suitability of the interaction technique for increasing body awareness. However, the technical challenges such as stable and accurate body tracking were also mentioned. In addition, new ideas were given that would further support body awareness.

Authors: Alfayez Zainab Hameed 
Published: November 2022

Abstract
Nowadays, most information and communication technologies target literate users and neglect the 800 million illiterate individuals around the world. Although there have been several attempts to develop systems that help illiterate people and try to reduce the digital gap between them and those who are literate, it is still challenging to find accessible systems for illiterate people. This research aims to reduce the digital gap between illiterate and literate people in Iraq through developing a mobile application for learning traffic signs. Firstly, a requirement elicitation study was conducted to explore a set of design considerations and build an accessible interface for illiterate people. The study resulted in several design principles, such as using voice instructions, focusing on graphic content, and using the local language. Then, the mobile application was developed based on these design principles. Finally, an evaluation study was conducted to measure the usability of the developed application. The results revealed that the built application is efficient and effective, and the users were extremely satisfied in several aspects, such as easy usage and learnability, and declared that they would use it in the future and recommend it to others.
[Lys5,MeLeu9,Nle10]-NKA(4–10) induces neurokinin 2 receptor mediated urination and defecation and neurokinin 1 receptor mediated flushing in rats: measured using the rapid detection voiding assay

Abstract

Objectives
Neurokinin 2 receptor (NK2R) agonists may be useful for treating bladder and bowel dysfunction via direct contraction of detrusor and gastrointestinal smooth muscle. The NK2R agonist [Lys5, MeLeu9, Nle10]-NKA(4–10) (LMN-NKA) induces urination and defecation, but also produces the potential side effect of dermal flushing in rats. Although LMN-NKA is a NK2R agonist, it also has affinity for neurokinin 1 receptors (NK1R). Therefore, the goal of this study was to determine the neurokinin receptor (NKR) subtypes responsible for LMN-NKA-induced urination, defecation, and flushing by blocking either NK2Rs or NK1Rs before LMN-NKA administration.

Methods
To accomplish this goal, we developed a simple high-throughput ‘rapid detection voiding assay’ to detect rapid-onset drug-induced urination and defecation in rats. In LMN-NKA dose-response experiments, LMN-NKA (10–100 μg/kg, subcutaneous) was injected and urination, defecation, and flushing were monitored for 30 min. For NKR antagonist experiments, vehicle, the NK2R antagonist GR159897, or the NK1R antagonist CP-99,994 were injected before an acclimation period. Following acclimation, saline or 100 μg/kg LMN-NKA were injected, and behavior was observed for 30 min.

Results
LMN-NKA produced dose-related increases in urination, defecation, and flushing. Blocking NK2Rs reduced urination and blocked defecation, without affecting flushing. Blocking NK1Rs did not change LMN-NKA-induced urination or defecation but reduced LMN-NKA-induced flushing.

Conclusions
Using the rapid detection voiding assay we show that LMN-NKA-induced urination and defecation are mediated by NK2Rs, while flushing is mediated by NK1Rs. Therefore, drugs that are more selective for NK2 vs. NK1Rs should produce rapid-onset urination and defecation without producing the potential side effect of flushing.

Abstract
As an exceptional nonlinear material, graphene offers versatile appealing properties, such as electro-optic tunability and high electromagnetic field confinement in the terahertz regime, spurring advance in ultrashort pulse formation, photodetectors and plasmonic emission. However, limited by atomic thickness, weak light–matter interaction still limits the development of integrated optical devices based on graphene. Here, an exquisitely designed meta-cavities combined with patterned graphene is used to overcome this challenge and promote THz-graphene interaction via terahertz location oscillation. By using an 800 nm pump laser, the local field-induced strong interaction allows sensitive responses to the ultrafast energy transfer from the ultrafast optical pump to graphene electron heat, enabling 46.2% enhancement of terahertz transparency. Such optical modulation of terahertz waves shows ultrafast response in delay less than 10 ps. Moreover, thanks to the nature of graphene, the device shows unique potential for electrically dynamic tuning and further bandwidth broadening.

Cortical reactivation and regain of interareal functional connections have been linked to the recovery of hand grasping behavior after loss of sensory inputs in primates. We investigated contributions of neurons in two hierarchically organized somatosensory areas, 3b and S2, by characterizing local field potential (LFP) and multiunit spiking activity in five states (rest, stimulus-on, sustained, stimulus-off, and induced) and interareal communication after grasping behavior of dorsal column lesioned male squirrel monkeys had mostly recovered. Compared with normal cortex, fMRI, LFP, and spiking response magnitudes to step indentations were significantly weaker. The sustained component of the spiking recovered much better than the stimulus-off response. Correlation between overall spiking and γ LFP remained strong within each recovered areas 3b and S2. The interareal correlations of γ LFP were severely disrupted, except in the resting and stimulus-on periods. Interareal correlation of spiking was disrupted in the stimulus-off period only. In summary, submodality of low threshold mechanoreceptive neurons recovered differentially in input-deprived area 3b and S2 when impaired global hand grasping behavior returned. Slow-adapting-like neurons recovered, whereas rapid-adapting-like neurons did not. Interareal communications were also severely compromised. We propose that slow-adapting-like neurons and afferents in recovered area 3b and S2 mediate recovery of impaired grasping behavior after dorsal column tract lesion.SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENTSensory feedback is essential for execution of hand grasping behavior in primates. Reactivations of somatosensory cortices have been attributed to recovery of such behavior after loss of sensory inputs via largely unknown mechanisms. In input-deprived area 3b and S2 cortex, after hand grasping behavior mostly recovered, we found slow-adapting-like neurons were greatly recovered, whereas rapid-adapting-like neurons did not. Communications between area 3b and S2 neurons were severely compromised. We suggest that recovery of slow-adapting-like neurons in input-deprived area 3b and S2 may mediate the recovery of hand grasping behavior.

Parenting styles provide the emotional climate for interaction between parents and children and have a significant impact on the family’s quality of life. School performance is considered as the adolescents’ capacity to interact effectively with the school environment by getting the general point average of their grades in the four quarters of School Year 2018-2019. This paper examined the effects of parenting styles on self-esteem and school performance among the Senior High students of Tubigon, Bohol, Philippines. The study utilized the descriptive normative survey method of research in gathering data through the use of a standardized survey tool in getting the parenting styles and self-esteem of the respondents. Data mining or desk review was conducted in securing the academic performance of the Senior High School of Tubigon, Bohol. Data were processed using averaging, Freeman Halton Test, Kruskal-Wallis test, and Chi-Square. The majority of the 400 respondents yielded similar results in the four parenting styles, first is authoritative in both mothers (52.5 percent) and fathers (46.5 percent). It is followed by the permissive, father (21.5 percent), and mother (17.8 percent). It is followed by ambivalent parenting with fathers (18.8 percent) and mothers (17 percent). The majority (75.5 percent) of the respondents have high self-esteem. Almost a fourth (24.5 percent) had average self-esteem, and no one reflected low self-esteem. Nearly half (45.8 percent) of the total number of respondents had satisfactory school performance, more than a third (36 percent) had an outstanding rating, above a tenth (14 percent) had Very Satisfactory, and very few reflected Fairly Satisfactory (4.3 percent) results. The result of the Freeman-Halton test revealed that there is no statistically significant association between the fathers’ and mothers’ parenting styles and the age groups of the respondents. The Chi-square test revealed that the parenting styles of both the father (X2=7.717, df=3, p<0.10) and the mother (X2 =7.683, df=3, p<0.05) are statistically associated with the sex of the respondents. As to the relationship between self-esteem and academic performance, chi-square revealed a significant result. There is strong evidence of a difference (p-value < 0.05) between the mean ranks of at least one pair of the indicated categories. There is strong evidence that suggests that parenting styles have some bearing on how students perform at school.
Harmful Information in Internet Media: The «Overton Window» and Destructive Network Content Interrelationships
Authors: Nikishin V. D. 
Published: November 2022

The paper is devoted to the analysis of Internet media monitoring for the dissemination of destructive content and the comparison of the identified types of information of aggressive and (auto)destructive nature with legally fixed prohibitions and restrictions on the right to freedom of information dissemination. The author considers the issues of networking and decentralization of destructive communities in Runet and the development of radical movements using the Ingamasi technology. Taking into account the patterns of distribution of various types of destructive content revealed during the study, including the peculiarities of communication in network communities of different types, the refraction of the «Overton window» theory to the media field of the dissemination of destructive information in Internet media was scientifically justified.Despite the existence of a regulatory framework for ensuring the information security of the individual, the realities of the development of communication in the digital environment demonstrate the presence of many gray areas. New communication and content risks require a systemic transformation and updating of the legal regulation of the digital environment in order to ensure the information and ideological security of the individual. Given the trends in the spread of new types of aggressive and depressive-suicidal content discussed in the paper, the author concludes that it is necessary to normalize new types of prohibited and restricted information by making systemic changes to the Federal Law «On Information, Information Technologies and Information Protection», the Federal Law «On the Protection of Children from Information that causes Harm their health and development», the Law of the Russian Federation «On Mass Media», as well as the improvement of administrative and criminal legislation, including through the introduction of new elements of offenses (crimes).
Association of Liver Function Tests with Mortality in an Insurance Applicant Population
Authors: Rigatti Steven J. , Stout Robert 
Published: November 2022

Objectives.—Determine the relationship between liver function test (LFT) results (GGT, alkaline phosphatase, AST, ALT and albumin) and all-cause mortality in life insurance applicants.
Method.—By use of the Social Security Master Death File, mortality was examined in 15,272,955 insurance applicants for whom blood samples were submitted to the Clinical Reference Laboratory. There were 268,593 deaths observed in this study population, after an average follow-up time of 10.9 years. Results were stratified by sex and by age less/greater than 60, creating 4 groups. Liver function test values were grouped using percentiles of their distribution within these age/ sex groups – so as to update the results generated in prior publications. Additional models were fit using different exclusions and percentile groups within single year age groups. Also, LFTs were treated as continuous variables and included in Cox models with age and smoking status.
Results.—Using the risk of the middle 50% of the population by distribution as a reference, relative mortality observed for GGT and alkaline phosphatase was linear with a steep slope from very low to high values. AST showed a J-shaped association with mortality. ALT showed a low-magnitude inverse correlation with mortality. Albumin demonstrated a higher-magnitude inverse correlation with mortality, especially at values below the median. The overall risk associated with LFTs was durable over at least 10 years of follow-up.
Conclusion.—Liver function tests show a strong and durable correlation to mortality in a large group of insurance applicants. The durability over time suggests that even older values of LFTs found in medical records could be of use in mortality risk prediction.

Published: November 2022

Abstract
Gas hydrates are recognized as a significant concern to the oil and gas flow assurance, as it generates pipelines blockages. In this research three alterative amino acids such as: glutamine, cysteine and isoleucine investigated if they work as kinetic inhibitors on methane-propane gas hydrate creation. The outcomes indicated that cysteine worked as inhibitor while isoleucine and glutamine worked as promoters (glutamine&gt;isoleucine) for both hydrate formation and induction time. Experiments with glutamine and isoleucine have the highest value of hydrate productivity while the lowest value of hydrate productivity belongs to experiments with cysteine. From hydrodynamic behavior, radial flow experiments indicated better gas liquid contact compared to mixed flow experiments.
