Semaglutide in Overweight and Obese patients: Cardiovascular and/or Renal Metabolic Benefits
Authors: Rico-Fontalvo Jorge , Daza-Arnedo Rodrigo , Cabrales Juan Jose Rafael , Montejo-Hernández Juan Diego 
Published: October 2022

We have read the article published by Kadowaki, et al. 1 “Semaglutide once a week in adults with overweight or obesity, with or without type 2 diabetes mellitus in an East Asian population (STEP 6): A randomized, double blind, double dummy, placebo controlled, phase 3a trial”, where the authors conclude that semaglutide at a dose of 2.4 mg, in diabetic and non-diabetic patients, reduces obesity and overweight compared to placebo in East Asian patients. These interesting results, demonstrate once again its benefits regarding overweight and obesity1,2. We consider that there should be several relevant aspects to have in mind. The study shows, once again, that semaglutide might have dose dependent effects and some that aren’t dose dependent, with weight loss being a dose-dependent effect. Regarding renal benefits, we consider that including albuminuria as a variable is of importance, given that only eGFR by CKD-EPI was included in the study. The average eGFR of the patients was 97.2 cc/min, patients with an eGFR less than 30 were excluded (eGFR less than 60 in patients receiving SGLT-2 inhibitors). We mention this since it would’ve been interesting to evaluate albuminuric vs non-albuminuric patients, hence seeing if there are any renal benefits, especially in albuminuric patients that may be dose dependent. Recently, Shaman, et al. 3 reported that liraglutide and semaglutide had renal benefits in type 2 diabetes mellitus, but their effect in albuminuria was higher in patients with 1 mg of semaglutide weekly vs 0.5 mg weekly. The latter allows to hypothesize that this effect may be dose dependent. Given this, it would be of interest to assess if higher doses bring increased renal benefits, as seen in weight loss. In summary, having in mind the renal benefits seen by semaglutide in other studies4, it would be of great importance to verify the impact of albuminuria in patients with obesity. Hence, we hope that in the upcoming trials, albuminuria is taken into consideration, so that we can highlight not only the cardio-metabolic benefits, but renal benefits in diabetic and non-diabetic patients that are obese or overweight, and to assess if there is a dose-dependent response.
The environment of open-plan workspaces: space utilization, user satisfaction, and environmental measures
Authors: Yang Eunhwa , Hong Sungil , Kim Yujin 
Published: October 2022

ABSTRACT
This paper aims to identify how indoor environmental factors are associated with space utilization and user satisfaction in flexible open spaces in an academic building. Data were collected through mixed methods, including a survey, observation, and objective environmental assessment. The mixed-methods assessed users' environmental perception and satisfaction, types of activities, types of users (group vs. individual), lighting, noise, temperature, humidity, and carbon dioxide level in five open-plan spaces with different furniture configurations. The subject spaces were identified as underutilized because there was a mismatch between the demand and supply of furniture and spatial settings. Even though all subjective spaces were open-plan settings, students preferred space with shared-furniture or a combination of different types of furniture with individual-oriented furniture only. The findings of the study suggest a reevaluation of space planning and programming for increased spatial efficiency. The users were generally satisfied with the subject spaces, although ambient environmental measures were slightly outside the industry standards. The present study provides evidence of user preferences of spatial settings based on the type of users (group vs. individual) and type of activities performed in the space (i.e., paper-based work, laptop, phone/tablet, eating, resting, talking).
A Fuzzy Inference-Based Facility Prioritization Decision Support System for Complex Hierarchical Organizations
Authors: DePalmer Devin M. , Schuldt Steven J. , Delorit Justin D. 
Published: October 2022

ABSTRACT
Safeguarding limited resources for an organization's most critical assets can be difficult when decision-makers at different corporate hierarchy levels have different objectives and needs. Prioritizing resources in a manner that aligns with the organization's strategic goals requires expertise and knowledge at all corporation levels. DePalmer et al. (2021) explored the opportunity to quantify the relationship between facilities and the operations they support using a Mamdani fuzzy inference system. This research extends the previous work by incorporating multi-level perspectives of the facilities and the operations they support outside of the tactical campus. Additionally, the authors simulated various risk attitudes to investigate how subjective inputs at the tactical level can affect strategic-level outputs. This research produces a framework that aggregates junior-level facility knowledge depth with the breadth of senior-level operational and strategic knowledge to support decision-making for facility project prioritization. An additional prediction boundary is created from the risk attitude variance and can give portfolio managers data-driven tools for quality control of risk profiles at individual campus locations.
Roof System Suitability for IT Mission-Critical Facilities

Published: October 2022

ABSTRACT
Information technology (IT) mission-critical facilities house operations that, when interrupted, can prove disastrous to an organization's operations. Limited market research is available to determine what roof system types are best suited to meet the unique demands of these buildings. The purpose of this research was to rate the suitability of commonly used roofing systems for IT mission-critical facilities and determine their associated lifecycle costs. This research was performed with a leading US based telecommunications company to help evaluate roofing system options used in their IT mission-critical facilities. A survey was administered to roofing professionals across the US to obtain lifecycle cost information and ratings for various roofing systems. The research found that single-ply roofs generally had lower annual lifecycle costs than built-up roofs, due to lower installation and removal costs and increasing life expectancies. Metal roofs also had a low annual lifecycle cost due to the longer estimated lifespan. On the other hand, lowest installation cost was not the governing factor for recommended selection of roof systems for IT mission-critical structures. Rather, built-up and metal roofs were rated highest by roofing professionals, for their value in mission-critical facilities, ultimately indicating a necessary prioritization for risk reduction versus cost savings.
JUHŪD AL-ASYĀ’IRAH AL-MUĀSRĪN FĪ AL-TAQRĪB BAYN AL-AFKĀR AL-SUNNIYYAH: AL-SYAIKH HASAN AL-SYĀFI’Ī NAMŪŻAJAN
Authors: Mohamed Nabil Fouly 
Published: October 2022

The article aims to describe Hasan al-Shafi’i’s view of uniting Sunnis theologically as an applied model. Through historical-philosophical analysis, this article found that Hasan al-Shafi’i viewed the need to unite Sunni viewpoints in the contemporary era. With his background in communication with the Islamic world and the West, Hasan al-Shafi’i confirmed the importance of understanding I’tidāl from al-Asy’ari theology. This theology rests on the spirit of harmony and tolerance, assuming that diversity is fairness and that plural life is the foundation of life that must be maintained. This view implies the restoration of theological relations between Sunni groups. Such a converged approach can serve as a model that is methodologically expected to enhance rapprochement on and off the Sunni spectrum

Published: October 2022

Det övergripande syftet med denna artikel är att bidra med en översikt som kartlägger internationell forskning om musikundervisning för barn och ungdomar (F–9) med intellektuell funktionsnedsättning (IF). I Sverige får elever som bedöms inte kunna nå grundskolans lärandemål vanligen sin utbildning i den skilda skolformen grundsärskolan. En konfigurativ översikt har genomförts och 26 utvalda artiklar har analyserats med fokus på musikundervisningens mål. Resultatet redovisas i tre teman: Attityder och förhållningssätt, Undervisning och lärande samt Kritiska studier för empowerment och diskuteras mot kulturhistorisk teori och begrepp såsom musical becoming. Artikeln bekräftar tidigare översikters resultat: behovet av klassrumsstudier i grundsärskolan.

Thematic analysis was used and related to the objectives for music education. The main findings are presented in three themes: Attitudes and approaches, Teaching and learning, Critical studies for empowerment. These are discussed in relation to cultural historical theory, and the concept musical becoming.
La influencia de los valores culturales en la intención emprededora en estudiantes de educación superior
Authors: Aguilar Cruz Pedro Daniel 
Published: October 2022

El artículo tiene como objetivo determinar el impacto que tienen los valores culturales en la intención emprendedora de los estudiantes de pregrado en México. La diversidad cultural muestra diferencias sustanciales entre países en la actividad emprendedora, por lo que se ha vuelto fundamental comprender los factores que determinan los niveles de emprendimiento en países y regiones. Se adoptó un enfoque cuantitativo y se encuestó a 1410 estudiantes universitarios de tres universidades diferentes mediante un muestreo probabilístico aleatorio simple. Los datos fueron analizados mediante análisis factorial por reducción de dimensiones, se aplicaron regresiones lineales y correlaciones.
Los resultados obtenidos muestran que existe un impacto positivo entre los Valores Culturales (VC) y la Intención Emprendedora (IE) de los estudiantes. Por otro lado, demuestra que los valores culturales de Integración y Dominio, impactan positivamente en la IE, aunque con una relación débil. Se encontró que existe un impacto negativo entre el Igualitarismo y la IE. Los resultados de la correlación muestran que el valor cultural de Integración está asociado principalmente con el emprendimiento. En contraste, el valor cultural de la Autonomía Afectiva e Intelectual está menos asociado con la IE. Del mismo modo, con el mismo comportamiento, se verifica que el Dominio muestra una asociación más significativa con la IE que el valor cultural de la Armonía. Este artículo proporciona una nueva perspectiva sobre el impacto que los valores culturales tienen en las intenciones emprendedoras de los estudiantes universitarios. Explica el papel que juega la cultura en el comportamiento de iniciar un negocio. El estudio genera determinaciones significativas que ayudan a reducir el vacío en la literatura en México respecto a los aspectos cognitivos del emprendedor y cómo se puede influir en la cultura; también abre futuras investigaciones que profundizarán en el conocimiento del emprendimiento.
APPLICATION OF COMPETENCE TASKS IN STUDYING CHRISTMAS STORIES IN LITERATURE LESSONS: STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
Authors: Байдагулова Татьяна Алексеевна 
Published: October 2022

В данной статье рассматриваются понятия «компетенция» и «компетентностная задача», внимание к которым обусловлено появлением новой образовательной парадигмы. Анализ педагогических источников выявил отсутствие полноценного компетентностно ориентированного учебно-методического обеспечения учебного предмета «Литература», что свидетельствует об актуальности разработок в данной области. Рассматривая основные характеристики компетентностной задачи, автор предлагает примерный вариант такого задания на материале рождественского рассказа О. Генри «Дары волхвов».
This article discusses the concepts of “competence” and “competence task”, attention to which is due to the emergence of a new educational paradigm reflecting the practical orientation of the content of education. The priority is not the development of subject knowledge, skills and abilities, but the systematic and harmonious development of the student’s personality, mastering basic competencies. The analysis of pedagogical sources revealed the problem of the lack of a fullfledged competence-oriented educational and methodological support for the educational subject “Literature”, which indicates the relevance of developments in this area. Widely presented in modern school programs, Yuletide prose is a rich source of cultural information. It allows students to learn the facts of the material and spiritual culture of the people, history, mythological and religious beliefs, philosophy, morality, national way of thinking, which contributes to the formation of students’ necessary personal, meta-subject and subject competencies. Considering the main characteristics of the competence task, the author offers an approximate version of such a task based on the material of O. Henry’s Christmas story “The Gift of the Magi”, as well as criteria for evaluating the quality of its performance. In the future, the research is a methodical description of such tasks based on the methodological matrix of the case study.

Authors: Lestari Gunarti Dwi , Widodo  , Yusuf Ali 
Published: October 2022

This study aimed to examine the role of parents in developing numeracy literacy skills in early childhood. This study uses a quantitative research design. The population in this study amounted to 100 respondents with research subjects, namely parents who have school-age children. The sampling technique used is the total sampling technique. The data analysis technique in this study used descriptive statistical techniques. The results showed that the role of parents in the development of numeracy literacy in early childhood was good, with a percentage of 79.68%. These results are supported by the suitability of the results on each question item which includes parents' efforts to improve literacy skills and numeracy literacy skills in early childhood. In this case, it can be interpreted that the role of the family is very important in increasing literacy. The development of numeracy literacy skills in children is the family's responsibility, especially parents as the first and foremost educators for children. Therefore, literacy, as the ability to identify information needs, seek, retrieve, process, and communicate information, must be improved.

Published: October 2022

Abstract
This paper proposes a mathematical model of multiple regression analysis of basketball shooting percentage. We give the numerical solution for the shooting angle under given solution conditions by solving the equation. From this, the optimal shooting speed and cut-off shooting speed under the shooting at a given point are obtained. At the same time, we analyze the laws of basketball movement in several different forms of rotation. The article combines Matlab software for verification to get the best angle of entry and the best shooting distance and speed.
Historical Dynamics of Human Impact on Landscapes of Vitosha Mountain (SW Bulgaria)
Authors: Tzvetkov Jordan 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
This article presents a study of the historical dynamics of human impact on the landscapes of Vitosha Mountain, Bulgaria. Information about the main historical and present-day anthropogenic impacts on landscapes was obtained from a various data sources and field research. These impacts include hunting, agriculture, grazing, logging, charcoal production, iron production, gold mining, stone quarry, reforestation, recreation. Five historical phases of anthropogenic impact on landscapes are recognized in our analysis: the Prehistoric phase, the Antiquity phase, the Mediaeval phase, the Ottoman phase and the Modern phase. The greatest anthropogenic impact was during the Ottoman phase, when the intensive agricultural and mining (iron and gold) activities contributed to a great landscape transformation and degradation. The functional purposes on the territory of Vitosha have undergone a radical change since 1934. The human impact on landscapes has gradually decreased and economic use gave way to conservation and recreation.
Ecological Assessment of Woody Plant Diversity and the Associated Threats in Afromontane Forest of Ambericho, Southern Ethiopia
Authors: Tekle Tirebo , Maryo Melesse 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
Mountainous ecosystems provide social, economic, and environmental services at different scales. Nonetheless, currently, they have been exposed to environmental degradation risks. This study was conducted to investigate woody plant species diversity and threats to the study forest. Systematic sampling was employed to collect vegetation data from fifty 400 m2 sample plots along five transect lines. Vegetation and the environmental variables were recorded from each plot. Eighty randomly sampled households were selected for socioeconomic data. Descriptive statistics and ranking exercises were employed. The vegetation classification was performed using the R program version 2.15.2. The species diversity, richness, and evenness were computed. The result showed that five plant communities were recognized. A total of 99 woody plants belonging to 87 genera and 50 families were identified, of which 13 % were endemic. The total basal area of the study forest was 3.40 m2ha-1, and the forest was characterized by a bell-shaped population structure identified by poor regeneration and recruitment. With increasing altitude, there was a significant decrease in human impacts, grazing, and the number of plant species. About 90 % of the informants disclosed deforestation as the major threat to forest cover change, whereas 84 % of them recommended forest restoration as a tangible measure. There was a high deforestation rate of the selected woody species (e.g., Arundinaria alpina) and high expansion of agriculture at the fringes of the forest. This requires promoting forest land rehabilitation activities, nature tourism, establishing partnerships with communities on the forest management, consolidating village-level institutions and developing livelihood alternatives for communities at the local governments and the community level to restore the degraded forest.
Control structures in Kokborok: A case of syntactic convergence

Published: October 2022

AbstractThis paper presents a descriptive study of the control structures in Kokborok, a Tibeto-Burman language spoken in Tripura (one of the North-Eastern states in India) and demonstrates the contact-induced changes in the phenomenon of control in Kokborok which resulted due to the long-term contact with Bangla (Indo-Aryan), a genetically different language spoken in the state. The instances of genitive subject and the phenomenon of overt controllee in the embedded subject position in Kokborok are the cases in point. The instance of overt controllee described in this paper points to the deviation from the classic concept of PRO thereby demonstrating a property unique to the study of South Asian languages.
Developing New Cultivars of Prunus × Rossica Erem. And Clonal Rootstocks at the Krymsk Experiment Breeding Station
Authors: Eremin Gennady V. , Eremin Victor G. 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
The paper considers the possibilities of expanding the assortment of plum cultivars in world production by hybridising large-fruited myrobalan plum (Prunus cerasifera Ehrh.) cultivars with those of Japanese plum (Prunus salicina Lindl.) and other diploid stone fruit species. Because of many years of breeding work in Russia, cultivars of a new hybridogenous species Prunus × rossica Erem. (Russian plum) have been created, which can ensure a stable supply of fresh fruit from late June to September and complement the assortment of common plum cultivars. A description is given for the best adaptive, high-yielding cultivars with good taste and high canning qualities — ‘Kubanskaya Kometa’, ‘Globus’, ‘Gek’, ‘Iyulskaya Roza’, ‘Dynnaya’, ‘Kolonnovidnaya’, and ‘Podarok Sad-Gigantu’. The efficiency of their cultivation using intensive technologies and own-rooted plants, as well as clonal rootstocks bred at the Krymsk Station, has been shown. It is recommended to carry out intensive cultivation of Russian plum using medium vigorous rootstocks like Kuban 86, Evrika 99, Zarevo, Fortuna and dwarf rootstocks VVA 1, Best, Upryamets and VSV 1.
