description: With the increasing popularity of herbomineral preparations in healthcare, a new proprietary herbomineral formulation was formulated with ashwagandha root extract and three minerals viz. zinc, magnesium, and selenium. The aim of the study was to evaluate the immunomodulatory potential of Biofield Energy Healing (The Trivedi Effect®) on the herbomineral formulation using murine splenocyte cells. The test formulation was divided into two parts. One was the control without the Biofield Energy Treatment. The other part was labelled the Biofield Energy Treated sample, which received the Biofield Energy Healing Treatment remotely by twenty renowned Biofield Energy Healers. Through MTT assay, all the test formulation concentrations from 0.00001053 to 10.53 µg/mL were found to be safe with cell viability ranging from 102.61% to 194.57% using splenocyte cells. The Biofield Treated test formulation showed a significant (p≤0.01) inhibition of TNF-α expression by 15.87%, 20.64%, 18.65%, and 20.34% at 0.00001053, 0.0001053, 0.01053, and 0.1053, µg/mL, respectively as compared to the vehicle control (VC) group. The level of TNF-α was reduced by 8.73%, 19.54%, and 14.19% at 0.001053, 0.01053, and 0.1053 µg/mL, respectively in the Biofield Treated test formulation compared to the untreated test formulation. The expression of IL-1β reduced by 22.08%, 23.69%, 23.00%, 16.33%, 25.76%, 16.10%, and 23.69% at 0.00001053, 0.0001053, 0.001053, 0.01053, 0.1053, 1.053 and 10.53 µg/mL, respectively compared to the VC. Additionally, the expression of MIP-1α significantly (p≤0.001) reduced by 13.35%, 22.96%, 25.11%, 22.71%, and 21.83% at 0.00001053, 0.0001053, 0.01053, 1.053, and 10.53 µg/mL, respectively in the Biofield Treated test formulation compared to the VC. The Biofield Treated test formulation significantly down-regulated the MIP-1α expression by 10.75%, 9.53%, 9.57%, and 10.87% at 0.00001053, 0.01053, 0.1053 and 1.053 µg/mL, respectively compared to the untreated test formulation. The results showed the IFN-γ expression was also significantly (p≤0.001) reduced by 39.16%, 40.34%, 27.57%, 26.06%, 42.53%, and 48.91% at 0.0001053, 0.001053, 0.01053, 0.1053, 1.053, and 10.53 µg/mL, respectively in the Biofield Treated test formulation compared to the VC. The Biofield Treated test formulation showed better suppression of IFN-γ expression by 15.46%, 13.78%, 17.14%, and 13.11% at concentrations 0.001053, 0.01053, 0.1053, and 10.53 µg/mL, respectively compared to the untreated test formulation. Overall, the results demonstrated that The Trivedi Effect®- Biofield Energy Healing (TEBEH) has the capacity to potentiate the immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory activity of the test formulation. Biofield Energy may also be useful in organ transplants, anti-aging, and stress management by improving overall health and quality of life.

description: A new unsupervised predictive maintenance analysis method based on the renormalization group approach used to discover critical behavior in complex systems has been proposed. The algorithm analyzes univariate time series and detects critical points based on a newly proposed theorem that identifies critical points using a Log Periodic Power Law function fits. Application of a new algorithm for predictive maintenance analysis of industrial data collected from reciprocating compressor systems is presented. Based on the knowledge of the dynamics of the analyzed compressor system, the proposed algorithm predicts valve and piston rod seal failures well in advance.

title: The controversial legacy of the late dictator Ferdinand E. Marcos and the 2022 Philippine presidential election
Creators: name: Gegenfurtner, Michael
Year: 2024

description: Die vorliegende Arbeit beschäftigt sich mit den Wahlen auf den Philippinen im Jahr 2022. Für viele sollten die Ergebnisse eine historische Zäsur markieren: Der Sohn des ehemaligen philippinischen Diktators Ferdinand Marcos sollte als der 17. Präsident in die Geschichte des Landes eingehen und folglich für die kommenden sechs Jahre über die Geschicke des Landes verfügen. Senator Ferdinand ‘BongBong’ Marcos (BBM) Jr hatte bereits im Jahr 2016 als Vizepräsident kandidiert, war jedoch nur knapp an seinem Vorhaben gescheitert. Mit ihm ins Amt als Vizepräsidenten hatte es außerdem seine damalige Verbündete Sara Duterte geschafft. Sara, wie auch BongBong, sind für ihre jeweiligen kontrovers diskutierten familiären Hintergründe bekannt; beide gehören sie zwei der mächtigsten Familiendynastien auf den Philippinen an. Der Name Duterte hatte vor allem in jüngster Vergangenheit vermehrt für Aufruhr gesorgt. Es war nämlich dem zu diesem Zeitpunkt scheidendem Staatsoberhaupt Rodrigo Duterte, dem Vater von Sara, zuzuordnen, dass mit seinem Amtsantritt des Jahres 2016 eine blutige Anti-Drogenkampagne unter der Prämisse des sogenannten ‘war on drugs’ von nationalem Ausmaß entfacht worden war. Der Name ‘Marcos’ scheint auf den Philippinen hingegen seit jeher allgegenwärtig. Der verstorbene Ferdinand Marcos und seine heutige Witwe Imelda waren in den 1960er Jahren zu internationalem ‘Ruhm’ gekommen, zuletzt auch durch des Paares gute Beziehungen zu den politischen Schwergewichten jener Zeit. Dazu gehörten unter anderem Fidel Castro, Mao Zedong, Ronald Reagon, oder aber auch der Diktator Muammar al-Gaddafi. Waren die beiden Marcoses (allen voran Imelda) anfangs wahrscheinlich noch durch ihren Glamour und Extravganz aufgefallen, so würde dieser Ruf zukünftig in eine andere Richtung ausschlagen, als sich der Politikstil des damals noch jungen Präsidenten Marcos über die zwanzig Jahre seiner Amtszeit ab 1965 hinweg als durch und durch autoritär entpuppen sollte. Als dann schließlich 1986 sein Regime zu Fall kam, würde den Marcoses fortan ein ganz anderer Status zu Teil werden. Die voerst auf unbestimmte Zeit ins Exil verbannte Familie, hatte unter der Betitelung ‘greatest robbery of a government’ den Einzug in das Guinness Buch der Weltrekorde gefunden. Erst kürzlich war dieser Eintrag entfernt worden, und es drängt sich die Frage auf, wie eine solche Kehrtwende möglich war, die im Jahr 2022 mit der Präsidentschaftswahl Ferdinand Jr’s den Zenith erreichen würde.

description: Climate change is a global challenge that has significant implications for human health. Rising temperatures, shifting weather patterns, and the increasing frequency of extreme weather events are directly impacting health outcomes across the globe. The interaction between climate change and health is especially evident in the growing burden of non-communicable diseases (NCDs), which are further exacerbated by environmental shifts.

This topic area demonstrates how temperature extremes impact NCD outcomes. Going forward, the methodological approach for indicators within this topic area will be combined with the heat- and cold-related mortality topic.

This is the Topic Introduction document.

Esta questão, em Portugal, é muito recente só havendo legislação a partir de 2009 sobre a forma como se deve atuar.Posteriormente, pretende-se mostrar que a musicoterapia é terapia a incluir numa equipa, pois promove o desenvolvimento nas crianças portadoras de Síndrome de Down, dado que a música faz parte do dia-a-dia e da cultura de qualquer criança e, através da magia do som, consegue-se atingir novos objetivos.Finalmente, pretende-se mostrar, através de um estudo de caso, a importância da inclusão da musicoterapia na Intervenção Precoce para o desenvolvimento de crianças portadoras de Síndrome de Down, porque poderá propiciar um desenvolvimento mais rápido, compensando as limitações inerentes às limitações inerentes a estes contextos clínicos.

description: The dark linguistic arts include:  mendacity, sophistry, bullshitting (in the technical sense of Frankfurt), conniving flattery, deception, conniving gossip, calculated temptation, and conniving confabulation.  This list makes such arts a “multi-headed monster” (Snape).  Artificial neural networks (ANNs), at least in the form of so-called large language models (LLMs), practice many of these dark arts, as my specimens show.  Hence when unsuspecting humans summon up these AIs, “double toil and trouble” (Shakespeare) naturally ensue.  Can a mathematical definition of the dark arts be formulated?  And if so, with it can we ward off by some science and engineering the trouble that will otherwise plague humanity?  The answers, I argue, are resp. “Yes,” and “Yes — but only by abandoning, or at least moving beyond, intrinsically and incurably dark approaches like LLMs.”  The second affirmative implies that so-called “foundation models” ought not to be foundations for AIs.

description: Visual cues play crucial roles in the collective motion of animals, birds, fish, and insects. The interaction mediated by visual information is essentially non-local and has many-body nature due to occlusion, which poses a challenging problem in modeling the emergent collective behavior. In this paper, we introduce a Boltzmann-equation approach incorporating non-local visual interaction. Occlusion is treated in a self-consistent manner via a coarse-grained density field, which renders the interaction effectively pairwise. Our model also incorporates the recent finding that each organism stochastically selects a neighbor to interact at each instant. We analytically derive the order-disorder transition point, and show that the visual screening effect raises the transition threshold, which does not vanish when the density of the agents or the range of the intrinsic interaction is taken to infinity. Our analysis suggests that the model exhibits a discontinuous transition as in the local interaction models, and but the discontinuity is weakened by the non-locality. Our study clarifies the essential role of non-locality in the visual interactions among moving organisms.

description: Nowadays with the advance of technology, small eruptive solar jets became a puzzling curiosity. The impact of solar jets on the solar atmosphere and their interaction with related features of solar activity is discussed. We discovered stable solar sites, ``The Coronal Geysers'', which undergo multiple magnetic field reconfigurations and are the trigger of solar jets. The data analysis and mathematical modelling of these sites and jet phenomena unveiled that heating and kinetic jet emission are triggered by small repeated filament eruptions. These results generated new insights towards understanding the physics of solar eruptions that can potentially impact the near-Earth environment.

description: This study aimed to examine the association between severity of menopausal symptoms and cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk among middle-aged Chinese women. A cross-sectional study recruited 9679 women aged 40–70 years from three socioeconomic regions of China in 2018. Menopausal symptoms were assessed by the modified Kupperman Menopausal Index (KMI). The severity of individual symptoms was classified as none (0 points), mild (1 points) and moderate-to-severe symptoms (2–3 points), and overall menopausal symptoms were classified as none (<15 points), mild (15–24 points) or moderate-to-severe (≥25 points) according to the sum score of the KMI. Logistic regression models were used to examine associations of the severity of menopausal symptoms with CVD risk. A total of 5.6% of participants reported being diagnosed with CVD. Overall menopausal symptoms were more common in women aged 60–70 years than in women aged 40–59 years. After multiple adjustment, mild (odds ratio [OR] = 2.07, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.64–2.61) and moderate-to-severe (OR = 2.64, 95% CI: 1.92–3.63) overall menopausal symptoms were associated with increased risk of CVD compared with no symptoms. Significant positive associations between the severity of individual menopausal symptoms and CVD risk were observed for all 13 items. The severity of menopausal symptoms was positively associated with CVD risk in middle-aged Chinese women.

description: Social justice activism via staged protest interrupts official media discourses on national politics. This presentation will discuss the changes over the last fifteen years I have observed in social justice protests and social media activism that engage mainstream media attention. I will present and analyse two successful graphic-based campaigns that I ran in 2014. The 1st four-day campaign concerned Opera Australia’s hiring of Tamar Iveri, a soprano singer who had advocated violence against LGBTI activists in her hometown of Tbilisi, Georgia. Mostly remaining within social media, this campaign utilised the initial viral spread of an infographic to target Facebook mechanisms that measure public satisfaction with commercial organisations and sponsors. The second month-long campaign concerned the proposed attendance of Australian government ministers at the anti-gay, anti-abortion “World Congress of Families” conference in Melbourne. Eventually crossing into mainstream media, this campaign succeeded via the utilisation of a variety of online and of offline participatory tactics.

description: About one-third of those with extensive histories of high alcohol consumption develop alcoholic hepatitis. High short-term mortality, financial strain, and hospital resource use are all linked to it. When alcohol use disorder is present, alcoholic hepatitis, a potentially fatal consequence of alcohol addiction, usually manifests as hepatitis symptoms and indicators. A liver biopsy is necessary for the final diagnosis, albeit this is usually not necessary. The most serious clinical manifestation of alcoholic liver disease is alcoholic hepatitis. Abstinence is the primary means of recovery for alcoholic hepatitis, which has a bad prognosis in the absence of an appropriate pharmaceutical treatment. Since alcohol use disorders are becoming more widespread, alcoholic hepatitis's effects on society and medical expenses are predicted to rise sharply. While recent advancements in the pathophysiology of alcoholic hepatitis are promising and may lead to new treatment approaches, it is important to emphasize a multidisciplinary approach that takes into account the prompt detection and management of liver-related complications, infectious and metabolic diseases, malnutrition, and addiction counselling. In addition to appropriate candidate selection, transplant programs should offer sufficient post-transplant addiction care to make early liver transplantation for alcoholic hepatitis the most sobering experience in the upcoming ten years.

description: This study aimed to examine sex differences in factors associated with mood and anxiety in midlife men and women during the COVID-19 pandemic. During a remote visit, 312 adults aged 40–60 years (167 female; 23.6% perimenopausal) from the Human Connectome Project in Aging completed PROMIS measures of depression, anxiety and anger/irritability; perceived stress; and questions about social support, financial stress and menopause stage. Multivariate linear regression models assessed sex differences in mental health and the association of social support, financial stress and menopause stage with mental health. Anxiety was higher in women than in men (b = 2.39, p = 0.02). For women only, decreased social support was associated with increased anxiety (b = −2.26, p = 0.002), anger/irritability (b = −1.89, p = 0.02) and stress (b = −1.67, p = 0.002). For women only, not having close family was associated with increased depressive symptoms (b = −6.60, p = 0.01) and stress (b = −7.03, p < 0.001). For both sexes, having children was associated with lower depressive symptoms (b = −3.08, p = 0.002), anxiety (b = −1.93, p = 0.07), anger/irritability (b = −2.73, p = 0.02) and stress (b = −1.44, p = 0.07). Menopause stage was unrelated to mental health. Social support, but not financial stress, influenced mental health during the COVID-19 pandemic at midlife, particularly for women.

description: The phase II STARLIGHT study was conducted to investigate the efficacy/safety of fezolinetant in Japanese women and identify the optimal dose for future evaluation. Participants were perimenopausal/postmenopausal women aged ≥40 to ≤65 years from 36 centers in Japan seeking treatment/relief for vasomotor symptoms (VMS) associated with menopause. After screening, participants were randomized 1:1:1, stratified by menopausal status, to receive fezolinetant 15 or 30 mg or placebo orally once daily for 12 weeks. Participants completed a daily VMS diary. The primary endpoint was mean change in frequency of VMS of any severity from baseline to week 8. Secondary endpoints included mean change in VMS frequency from baseline each week up to week 12 and frequency/severity of adverse events. A total of 147 participants were randomized (placebo, n = 47; fezolinetant 15 mg, n = 53; fezolinetant 30 mg, n = 47). Fezolinetant 15 and 30 mg demonstrated statistically significant reductions in mean VMS frequency at week 8 versus placebo. Least-squares mean estimates of mean change in frequency of VMS from baseline to week 8 were −7.04 for fezolinetant 15mg, −6.31 for fezolinetant 30mg, and −4.55 for placebo. The difference in least-squares mean estimates was −2.50 (95% CI: −4.03, −0.96), p = 0.002 for fezolinetant 15mg and placebo, and was −1.76 (95% confidence interval [CI]: −3.35, −0.17), p = 0.030 for fezolinetant 30mg and placebo. Reductions from baseline in mean VMS frequency versus placebo were seen after week 1 of treatment, maintained throughout 12 weeks. Fezolinetant was well tolerated, with no safety signals of concern for either dose to week 12. Oral fezolinetant at once-daily doses of 15 or 30 mg was efficacious and well tolerated for treatment of mild, moderate and severe VMS associated with menopause in this Japanese study.

description: This study aimed to investigate the association of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) use, type, duration and age of commencement with myocardial infarction (MI) and stroke in postmenopausal Korean women. This nested case–control study used data from the National Health Insurance Service database to analyze 2017 data from women aged ≥50 years and diagnosed with natural menopause between 2004 and 2007. Among 356,160 eligible women, 36,446 used HRT for ≥1 year and 319,714 did not (controls). These two groups were matched 1:1 for statistical analysis. Type and duration were categorized into three categories. Women who started estrogen–progestogen therapy (EPT) or estrogen therapy (ET) in their 50s, or EPT or tibolone in their ≥60s exhibited a lower stroke risk than controls. MI risk was lower among women who used tibolone – regardless of duration – or EPT or ET for 1–3 years than among controls. Stroke risk was lower with tibolone use for ≥5 years or with EPT or ET use for 1–3 years or ≥5 years than non-users. Our study may support the beneficial effect of HRT by showing that Korean postmenopausal women who used HRT at a relatively younger and healthier age had a relative benefit for MI and stroke.

description: Specifically, the study aimed at assessing rewards as a motivation tool for employees’ performance at the Africell communication company in Kenema City.  In an event to reach this aim, the research was centred on the following objectives: to prove whether rewards motivate employees, to investigate the impact of motivation on employees output, to assess the kind of rewards Africell company uses to motivate its employees and to suggest some appropriate measures in administering rewards to employees. However, the study was designed on the basis of informed descriptive and quantitative techniques.  In achieving this, random method was used in collecting both primary and secondary data which has been clearly analysed. The research targeted twenty-five (25) respondents, from which twenty were selected randomly.  The findings of the research unearth the fact that, Africell employees are motivated by receiving rewards and equally so, motivation leads to high performance and high productivity in goal attainment.  The research concluded by emphasizing on the need for provision of good working environment provision of better reward system and employees’ relationship as vital criteria to motivate employees.  In addition, few constraints were highlighted from the study such as:  differences in employees’ desires and high labour turnover among others. Finally, the study recommends the need to individualize employees’ needs, aspirations and desires in terms of motivation and also, the appropriate use of both intrinsic and extrinsic system of rewards.

description: Scientists generate petabytes of data daily to help uncover environmental trends or behaviors that are hard to predict. For example, understanding climate simulations based on the long-term average of temperature, precipitation, and other environmental variables is essential to predicting and establishing root causes of future undesirable scenarios and assessing possible mitigation strategies. While supercomputer centers provide a powerful infrastructure for generating petabytes of simulation output, accessing and analyzing these datasets interactively remains challenging on multiple fronts. This paper presents an approach to managing, visualizing, and analyzing petabytes of data within a browser on equipment ranging from the top NASA supercomputer to commodity hardware like a laptop. Our novel data fabric abstraction layer allows user-friendly querying of scientific information while hiding the complexities of dealing with file systems or cloud services. We also optimize network utilization while streaming from petascale repositories through state-of-the-art progressive compression algorithms. Based on this abstraction, we provide customizable dashboards that can be accessed from any device with any internet connection, enabling interactive visual analysis of vast amounts of data to a wide range of users - from top scientists with access to leadership-class computing environments to undergraduate students of disadvantaged backgrounds from minority-serving institutions. We focus on NASA's use of petascale climate datasets as an example of particular societal impact and, therefore, a case where achieving equity in science participation is critical. We further validate our approach by deploying the dashboards and simplified training materials in the classroom at a minority-serving institution.

description: This study aimed to examine physicians’ and patients’ perceptions regarding symptom burden and impact in women experiencing natural vasomotor symptoms (nVMS) or vasomotor symptoms induced by endocrine therapy for breast cancer (iVMS). The cross-sectional survey based on real-world clinical consultations was conducted in the USA and five European countries. Obstetrician–gynecologists, primary-care physicians and oncologists provided demographic and symptom data for patients experiencing VMS; patients optionally self-reported their experiences via questionnaires, including their symptom profile and work/activity burden through the Menopause Quality of Life (MENQOL) and Work Productivity and Activity Impairment (WPAI) tools. Physicians completed survey forms on 2451 consulting patients; patients completed 1029 questionnaires. nVMS and iVMS severity was significantly associated with the severity of mood symptoms and sleep disturbances (p < 0.0001). However, around half of the patients with mild nVMS/iVMS also experienced moderate–severe mood changes (55.4%/43.7%) or sleep disturbances (42.4%/40.4%). Presence of mood/sleep disturbances alongside nVMS increased MENQOL vasomotor scores (p = 0.004/p < 0.001). Presence of sleep disturbances increased WPAI activity impairment (p < 0.001) but mood changes did not. Similar findings were reported for iVMS patients. Significant burden from the triad of natural or induced menopausal symptoms, sleep disturbances and mood changes affected women’s daily activities, work and quality of life more than vasomotor symptoms alone.

description: Ayurvedic herbs are proven to provide symptomatic relief and prevention of secondary complications of diabetes. Though mainstream treatment is effective in controlling the disease, it is expensive and has adverse side effects. Ayurvedic formulations have the ability to regenerate pancreatic beta cells, while possessing antioxidant and cholesterol lowering properties. The present review is focused on highlighting characteristics of prominent anti-diabetic herbs and their hypoglycaemic activities that have shown proven cellular, pre-clinical or clinical evidences. Poly herbal formulations of multiple herbal extracts are also discussed. The promising nature of herbal therapy is compared against mainstream therapy. Despite the promising nature of the herbal therapy for treatment of diabetes the majority of the herbs have remained unexplored to their full potential. Therefore, it is important to highlight their potentials and ascertain their therapeutic properties and benefits.
