Authors: Mohebby Behbood , Broushakian Vahid 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
In the current research work, moisture gradients and moisture induced stresses (MiS) were investigated in Cross Laminated Timber (CLT) bearing hydrothermally treated fir wood in its outermost laminations. Wood blocks with dimensions of 5 (T) ×15 (W) × 60 (L) cm werecut from fir wood planks and then they were hydrothermally treated in a stainless-steel reactor at 170°C for a holding time of 30 min. The panels were made with combinations of untreated and treated wood with one and two treated layers laid up on both sides of the CLT samples. Afterwards, the CLT panels were exposed to drying (from RH 88% to 32%) and wetting (from RH 32% to 88%) cycles to provide moisture gradients as well as moisture induced stresses. The results showed that, higher moisture gradients and the moisture induced stresses were recorded on the untreated panels. It was revealed that the moisture gradient due to wetting and drying cycles was reduced due to the hydrothermal treatment of wood.
Diasporic medical tourism: where tourism meets migration and healthcare. Understanding its antecedents, behavioural intention and potential.
Authors: Mathijsen Aneta , Dziedzic Ewa Barbara 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
This study focuses on diasporic medical tourism (DMT), an offshoot of migration-led tourism. There has been growing recognition of the significance of a diasporic dimension of medical tourism worldwide, yet little is known about these travellers, especially quantitatively. This paper examines the antecedents and behavioural intention of the DMT by applying the extended Theory of Planned Behaviour. A cross-sectional survey was conducted in three European countries (Belgium, the Netherlands, and Luxembourg) among the Polish diaspora (n = 1,288), constituting one of the largest migrant populations in Europe. Structural Equation Modeling was applied, and the model explained 53% of the variance in behavioural intention (R²= .527, Q²= .392). All exogenous variables were statistically significant. The intention to undertake DMT was influenced by complex commercial and noncommercial motivational factors, mostly related to uncertainty avoidance and reliance on heuristics to overcome acculturative stress. “Committed” and “Contended” travellers accounted for 70%, indicating the significant potential of those “hidden” consumers. A profile of diasporic medical tourists was presented and compared to foreign medical tourists. This research explores practical implications and contributes to the research on diaspora tourism, medical tourism and the interrelation between tourism and migration, specifically in the European context, but also globally.
Soluble Urokinase Plasminogen Activator Receptor Contributes to ANCA-positive
IgG-mediated Glomerular Endothelial Activation through TLR4 Pathway
Authors: Liu Qingquan , Huang Fei , Xu Ranran , Wang Yiru , Lv Yongman 
Published: December 2022

Background:
The soluble urokinase plasminogen activator receptor (suPAR), a biomarker of inflammation,
has been found to be a potential prognostic factor of renal function progression. Our previous study
showed that plasma suPAR levels were significantly associated with disease activity and prognosis in patients
with antineutrophil cytoplasmic autoantibody-associated vasculitis (AAV).

Objective:
This study aimed to explore whether urokinase plasminogen activator receptor (uPAR) participated
in MPO-ANCA-induced glomerular endothelial cell (GEnC) injury, which is one of the most important aspects
in the pathogenesis of AAV.

Methods:
GEnC activation and injury were analyzed by measuring the mRNA levels of ICAM-1 and
VCAM-1. Permeability experiments were performed to detect endothelial monolayer activation in number. The
expression of TLR4 was detected. In addition, TLR4 siRNA and TLR4 inhibitors were employed to determine
its role. Bioinformatics methods were used for further analysis.

Results:
Compared with a single stimulation, uPAR could further increase the expression of ICAM-1 and
VCAM-1 mRNA levels, increase endothelial monolayer permeability and impair tight junctions in GEnCs stimulated
with MPO-ANCA-positive IgG. The expression of TLR4 was upregulated by uPAR and MPO-ANCApositive
IgG stimulation. TLR4 siRNA significantly reduced the expression of ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 mRNA
levels induced by uPAR and MPO-ANCA-positive IgG. The TLR4 antagonist significantly downregulated the
levels of ICAM-1 mRNA in cells and sICAM-1 in the supernatants of GEnCs treated with uPAR plus MPOANCA-
positive IgG. PLAUR is a core gene in bioinformatics analysis.

Conclusion:
uPAR protein can enhance the GEnC activation and injury induced by MPO-ANCA-positive IgG
through the TLR4 pathway, indicating that suPAR may be involved in the pathogenesis of AAV and that su-
PAR might be regarded as a potential therapeutic target.
Asymmetric Dimethylarginine as a Biomarker in Coronary Artery Disease
Authors: Papageorgiou Nikolaos , Theofilis Panagiotis , Oikonomou Evangelos , Lazaros George , Sagris Marios , Tousoulis Dimitris 
Published: December 2022

Abstract:
As atherosclerosis remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide despite the advances in its medical and interventional management, the identification of markers associated with its incidence and prognosis constitutes an appealing prospect. In this regard, asymmetric dime-thylarginine (ADMA), a well-studied endogenous endothelial nitric oxide synthase inhibitor, repre-sents a core mediator of endothelial dysfunction in atherosclerotic diseases. Given the pathophysio-logic background of this molecule, its importance in the most frequent atherosclerotic manifesta-tion, coronary artery disease (CAD), has been extensively studied in the past decades. The available evidence suggests elevation of ADMA in the presence of common cardiovascular risk factors, namely diabetes mellitus, arterial hypertension, and hypertriglyceridemia, being related to endothe-lial dysfunction and incident major adverse cardiovascular events in these groups of patients. More-over, ADMA is associated with CAD occurrence and severity, as well as its prognosis, especially in populations with renal impairment. Interestingly, even in the absence of obstructive CAD, increased ADMA may indicate coronary endothelial dysfunction and epicardial vasomotor dysfunction, which are prognostication markers for incident cardiovascular events. In the case of acute coronary syn-dromes, high ADMA levels signify an augmented risk of incomplete ST-segment elevation resolu-tion and poorer prognosis. Abnormal ADMA elevations may indicate adverse outcomes following percutaneous or surgical coronary revascularization, such as in-stent restenosis, graft patency, and hard cardiovascular endpoints. Finally, since its association with inflammation is significant, chron-ic inflammatory conditions may present with coronary endothelial dysfunction and subclinical cor-onary atherosclerosis by means of increased coronary artery calcium, with augmented ADMA act-ing as a biomarker.
An Enhanced Spatial Correlation Framework for Heterogenous Wireless
Sensor Networks
Authors: Jadhav Sunayana , Daruwala Rohin 
Published: December 2022

Background:
Event detection and monitoring applications involve highly populated sensor nodes in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). Dense deployment of nodes leads to correlated sensor observations in the spatial and temporal domain. Most of the previous works focused on constant sensing radii for spatially correlated sensor observations. However, in real time scenario, the sensor nodes may have variable sensing coverage areas, which comprise a Heterogeneous WSN.

background:
Spatial correlation model discussed in prior literature focused on Homogeneous sensing of sensor nodes. But, real time scenario the condition changes due to interferences obstructing sensing areas. Also, different manufacturers may provide different specifications for sensing areas, thus resulting into Heterogeneous sensing.

Objective:
To address this issue, we present an Enhanced Weighted Spatial Correlation Model for Heterogeneous sensor nodes in WSNs.

Method:
The mathematical framework considers the spatial coordinates of sensor nodes, the distances between the sensor nodes, and their sensing coverage. Furthermore, the correlation coefficient is calculated in terms of overlapping areas for randomly deployed nodes. Performance of the correlation model is evaluated and analyzed in terms of event distortion function. In addition to this, a macro and micro-zone concept is introduced, wherein sensor information is weighted for better event estimation at the sink node. Moreover, dynamic weighing of nodes like Inverse, Shepard’s and Gaussian distance weighing algorithms are simulated and analyzed for minimal event distortion. Over and above, the system performance is evaluated for different approaches considering reporting nodes with and without clustering of sensor nodes for macro and micro-zone concept.
Simulation results for the Enhanced Weighted Spatial Correlation Model developed are obtained using MATLAB software.

method:
In order to evaluate the performance of the enhanced correlation model considering Macro and Micro-zone concept,
simulations are carried out inMATLAB. Simulations are performed for  trials and averaging of the values are finally
used for analysis of results.

Results:
The comparative study shows an improved system performance in terms of minimal distortion obtained for non-clustered nodes; thereby reducing the computational complexity of cluster formation. Furthermore, the dynamic weighing algorithms outperform the existing fixed weighing algorithms for the correlation model with the lowest distortion function.

Conclusion:
Moreover, in the above algorithms, the event distortion gradually decreases and later becomes constant with the increase in the number of representative nodes. Hence, it illustrates that minimal distortion can be achieved by activating lesser number of representative nodes, thereby preserving the energy of other sensor nodes and increasing the lifetime of WSNs.
Relationship Between Amoxicillin Use in Pregnancy and Congenital
Anomalies: A Systematic Review
Authors: Mardeneh Jalal , Bahri Narjes , Dashti Sareh , Mohammadzadeh Alireza , Sharifi Neda , Hadizadeh-Talasaz Fatemeh 
Published: December 2022

Purpose:
Amoxicillin is among the most used antibiotics in the treatment of a wide
spectrum of bacterial infections. Although amoxicillin is categorized as group B in pregnancy, the
findings of studies regarding its effects on the fetus are controversial. The aim of this systematic
review was to review the reported effects of amoxicillin administration in pregnancy on congenital
anomalies.

Methods:
Published articles in PubMed, Scopus, SID, and Magiran databases, as well as Google
Scholar were searched till May 2021 based on a search strategy. Case-control and cohort studies in
Persian or English language were included. Four studies, including two case-control and two cohort
studies, with an overall sample size of 260491 pregnant mothers, were included in the review

Results:
A review of case-control studies revealed an increased risk for cleft palate in one study.
Cohort studies did not reveal a significant relationship between amoxicillin use and major congenital
anomalies.

Conclusion:
The findings of this systematic review showed that although no major congenital
anomaly was reported for the administration of amoxicillin consumption with or without clavulanic
acid, there is a possibility that amoxicillin administration in pregnancy might be related to
some anomalies, including cleft palate. Amoxicillin should be administered with caution during
pregnancy till more evidence is provided regarding its safety.
A Vietnamese benchmark for vehicle detection and real-time empirical evaluation
Authors: Trinh Truc , Nguyen Khang 
Published: December 2022

The current situation of traffic in Vietnam has many outstanding problems, especially traffic congestion, since the supply of infrastructure has often not been able to keep up with the growth in mobility. Thus, proposing monitoring plans to support authorities to make suitable and prompt decisions has always received large attention from the community. Meanwhile, applying information technology, especially advanced models which could process or analyze traffic data in real time is recently considered to be a priority solution due to the time, accuracy, and cost saving that it can potentially achieve. Therefore, this paper outlines research on three advanced real-time object detection methods: YOLOX, YOLOF, and YOLACT and the development of the newest Vietnamese traffic dataset named UIT-VinaDeveS22. The work contains both theoretical and empirical analysis, which are expected to create premises for further studies into addressing problems such as traffic density management, traffic separation, and traffic congestion.

Published: December 2022

El objetivo de esta investigación fue conocer las distorsiones cognitivas referentes a la inferioridad de las mujeres, la culpabilización, la desresponsabilización y creencias erróneas sobre los roles sexuales que legitiman la violencia como forma de solucionar los conflictos. Método: se realizó un estudio de tipo descriptivo y comparativo entre mujeres y hombres, en las regiones sureste, suroeste y norte de la República Dominicana, con una muestra de 2,045 participantes, un 69.34 % (n = 1,418) mujeres y 30.66 % (n = 627) hombres, mayores de 18 años y de nacionalidad dominicana. La edad media de la muestra fue de 41.5 años (rango: 18 – 82, DT = 12.8). Resultados: aunque hombres y mujeres presentaron distorsiones cognitivas, los hombres mostraron una mayor presencia de distorsiones. En cambio, entre las regiones no hubo diferencias estadísticamente significativas en cuanto a la presencia de distorsiones. Conclusiones: la población dominicana presentó distorsiones cognitivas acerca de la mujer y el uso de la violencia, lo que supone un sesgo cultural de género. Analizar las distorsiones cognitivas puede ser de utilidad en campañas publicitarias de prevención y concienciación sobre la violencia contra la pareja.
Conocimiento y ciudadanía para Venezuela: la universidad que debe venir
Authors: Ordonez Luis Arnoldo 
Published: December 2022

El presente artículo teórico se fundamenta en una revisión de la literatura relativa al deber ser de la universidad hispanoamericana, en particular la venezolana, en la actual coyuntura sociopolítica. Frente a un mundo globalizado, encontramos una universidad que maneja el conocimiento basada en características culturales que priorizan las relaciones de poder y se generan en la segmentación de la sociedad. Para sobreponerse a los nuevos retos del siglo xxi, se presenta un modelo de universidad local que pudiera facilitar el desarrollo social, gracias a un involucramiento más agresivo con el entorno. Basado en la movilización del conocimiento para la innovación social y, sin alterar las funciones tradicionales de la universidad, uno de los objetivos debe ser el desarrollo de ciudadanía en los habitantes de ese entorno, a pesar de la complejidad de ello, tanto a nivel de su significado como de la definición a nivel teórico y puesta en práctica. Esta evolución de la organización universitaria, que requiere movilizar simultáneamente a los estudiantes, los docentes y la estructura administrativa, se hace posible gracias al avance tecnológico, pero no se da espontáneamente, debe partir de la reflexión en el seno de la institución y la generación de competencias para la colaboración, tanto al interior de la propia universidad como con el entorno.
Geografi Hukum Proyek Strategis Nasional: Studi Kasus Bendungan Bener di Purworejo, Jawa Tengah
Authors: Wardana Agung 
Published: December 2022

The national strategic projects have been introduced by the Jokowi administration to list several projects that are considered contributing significantly to the nation’s economic growth. Several privileges are given to accelerate the projects including the relaxation of administrative requirements as well as guarantees from financial and political risks. However, as a development project, it is unavoidable that in the implementation they have socio-spatial implications on the ground. This article aims at examining the national strategic project from a legal geography perspective to examine how law works in producing spaces for a new circuit of capital and how spatial justice for local communities living within the spatial unit is implicated. In this regard, a particular attention will be given to the case of the construction of the Bener Dam in Purworejo, Central Java. It argues that the project, including the mining activity in Wadas Village, should be seen as an attempt from the state to produce a space for new circuits of capital, especially for tourism industries. However, such production has created three problems of spatial justice, namely the recognition, participation, and distributive issues.
Abstrak
Proyek strategis nasional diperkenalkan oleh Pemerintahan Jokowi untuk memasukkan proyek-proyek yang dinilai memiliki kontribusi besar bagi pertumbuhan ekonomi ke dalam satu daftar prioritas. Beberapa keistimewaan pun diberikan untuk melakukan percepatan proyek tersebut termasuk di dalamnya kemudahan dalam pengurusan persyaratan administratif hingga jaminan risiko finansial dan politik. Akan tetapi, sebagai proyek pembangunan, dalam pelaksanaannya tidak dapat dihindari bahwa ia memiliki implikasi sosial-keruangan. Artikel ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji proyek strategis nasional dari perspektif geografi hukum guna membedah bagaimana hukum berperan dalam proses produksi ruang baru untuk sirkulasi kapital dan bagaimana implikasinya terhadap keadilan ruang bagi masyarakat yang mendiami unit ruang tersebut. Dalam hal ini, perhatian akan dikhususkan pada kasus pembangunan Bendungan Bener di Purworejo, Jawa Tengah. Artikel ini berpendapat bahwa proyek pembangunan Bendungan Bener, termasuk penambangan andesit di Desa Wadas di dalamnya, harus dilihat sebagai upaya negara untuk memproduksi ruang sirkulasi baru bagi kapital, utamanya industri pariwisata. Akan tetapi produksi ruang ini telah menciptakan tiga permasalahan keadilan ruang yakni mengenai pengakuan, partisipasi dan distribusi.

Published: December 2022

Konsep dinamika fluida sering diaplikasikan dalam penyelesaian masalah di kehidupan sehari-hari, salah satunya gerakan sloshing pada kontainer yang berisi cairan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menyusun sebuah code simulasi sloshing pada kontainer segi empat dengan menggunakan persamaan Navier-Stokes dua dimensi. Persamaan Navier-Stokes digridesaikan dengan ACM (Artificial Compressibility Method) dan metode beda hingga berbasis staggered grid. ACM digunakan untuk memperoleh nilai dari komponen kecepatan dan tekanan sedangkan metode beda hingga digunakan dalam proses diskritisasi untuk melakukan pendekatan secara numerik. Karena dalam kasus ini melibatkan aliran multifase, maka metode lain seperti VOF (Volume of Fluid) juga digunakan untuk menentukan permukaan bebas fluida. Hasil penelitian ini divalidasi dengan simulasi pembanding menggunakan Ansys, dan menunjukkan kesesuaian yang cukup baik secara kuantitatif maupun kualitatif. Secara kuantitatif, nilai RMSE (Root Mean Square Error) relatif sangat kecil dengan RMSE maksimum adalah 0,235 dan RMSE minimum adalah 0,030. Sedangkan secara kualitatif, fase gerak antara kedua simulasi menunjukkan kesamaan. Dengan mengubah beberapa parameter simulasi, diketahui bahwa RMSE paling minimum diperoleh saat nilai dx=0,08 dan dy=0,0143.

2D Resistivity Method to Determine the Groundwater Zone for Agricultural use in Perlis, Malaysia
Authors: Kadri Muhammad 
Published: December 2022

The efficiency of the use of water in Malaysia is very low ( 40 to 50 percent) and in order to take the advantage from during floody the irrigation system designed as open system. In this study, groundwater is suggested to supplement as an alternative source of water for irrigation. In Malaysia only less than 2% of the present water used is developed from groundwater. In order to determine the existence of usable groundwater, 2D resistivity imaging is used. This method is the most commonly method that been used for groundwater exploration. The groundwater found is used for irrigation purposes. The arrays used in this study are Wenner Schlumberger and Pole dipole. The results of the study showed that there is an aquifer. The water filled cavity occurred in an isolated manner at an approximate depth of 7.7 m. It was further observed that the cavity did not allow the harnessing of this resource to the fullest capacity. At a depth of 5 m there is bedrock and from a depth of 27 to 30 m there is a fractured zone. This is indicating that fractured zone in this area has occurrence of groundwater. Groundwater is already detectable at a depth of 15 to 18 meters.
