description: Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a prominent etiological factor for liver cirrhosis worldwide. It is frequently associated with obesity, diabetes, dyslipidemia, and hypertension. The objective of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of ginger (Zingiber officinale Roscoe) supplementation in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) who have NAFLD. In a two-arm, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial, seventy-six patients diagnosed with both T2DM and NAFLD were randomly assigned to receive either ginger powder capsules (1000 mg, twice daily) or placebo capsules (administered in the same manner) for a period of three months. Anthropometric measurements, blood pressure readings, biochemical profiles, and imaging parameters were assessed before and after the intervention. Safety measures were also evaluated. In both the ginger and placebo groups, there was a significant reduction in mean body mass index (BMI), waist and hip circumferences, as well as liver transaminase levels. Moreover, significant improvements in mean systolic and diastolic blood pressures were observed in the ginger group (p = 0.02 and < 0.0001, respectively). Within the ginger group, there was a decrease in serum insulin levels and insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) (p = 0.002 and 0.004, respectively). Furthermore, the ginger group exhibited an improvement in serum HDL-cholesterol level (p = 0.01). However, there were no significant changes in the assessed inflammatory markers or the indices obtained from fibroscan imaging, including steatosis percent and controlled attenuation parameter. This study demonstrates that ginger supplementation can significantly improve mean systolic and diastolic blood pressures. However, it does not have a significant impact on inflammatory markers or fibroscan imaging indices. Nonetheless, the three-month use of ginger improves serum insulin level, insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), and HDL-cholesterol level compared to baseline values. Further investigations with longer durations and larger sample sizes are recommended.
Einführung in die Sicherheitspolitik Ostasiens

Year: 2021

description: This introductory article on East Asian security policy will appear in three parts. The first two will sketch important issue areas and outline major developments and trends. The focus will be on questions of regional order: What does security in East Asia depend on? Who creates it? Who threatens it? Part 1 discusses theoretical approaches and applies them to the Far East. The great powers of East Asia will be introduced, as will the interstate conflicts on the Korean Peninsula, in the Taiwan Strait, and in the South China Sea. Part 2 employs a broad understanding of security, including domestic and transnational challenges (such as insurgency, terrorism, and piracy), “human security,” but also the interplay between economic developments and security policy. The article proceeds to discuss regional integration, the security architecture of East Asia, and the prospects of a “Pacific century” taking place. Part 3 then provides an annotated overview of books, edited volumes, and articles representing the state of the art on security policy in East Asia and introduces the reader to a wide range of research tools.

Year: 2024

description: US online platforms have become the most important providers of many services in our globalised world. Billions of people from many different countries use their search engines, booking tools or online e-commerce infrastructures every day. But this begs the question: what does it take for national online platforms to emerge and develop successfully outside the US? In this article, Alina Kontareva summarises her and her co-author’s research on Russia. It is one of the few countries that has managed to build a population of domestic online platforms that are still successfully holding their own against the US giants. In the following, she analyses the cultural, social and geographical factors that have made this possible. What can other countries learn from the Russian case?

description: A nonlinear projection of the tropical Pacific sea surface temperature anomalies (SSTA) onto the Northern Hemisphere winter 500-mbar geopotential height (Z500) by a neural network reveals asymmetric atmospheric patterns associated with El Niño and La Niña. While the linear response of Z500 to tropical Pacific SSTA is largely confined over North Pacific and North America, the nonlinear response, mainly a quadratic response to the SSTA, reveals that regardless of the sign of the SSTA, positive Z500 anomalies are found over the central-eastern North America, North Atlantic and western Europe, and negative Z500 anomalies over the west coast of North America, Scandinavia and eastern Europe—consistent with the positive Pacific-North America (PNA) teleconnection pattern and the positive North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) pattern being excited.

Astroinformatics of galaxies and quasars: a new general method for photometric redshifts estimation
Creators: name: Laurino, Omar
Publisher: name: figshare
Year: 2012
Subjects: Astrophysics

description: The catalogs are available as Cone Searches in the Virtual Observatory. Contact olaurino@head.cfa.harvard.edu Abstract
With the availability of the huge amounts of data produced by current and future large multiband photometric surveys, photometric redshifts have become a crucial tool for extragalactic astronomy and cosmology. In this paper we present a novel method, called Weak Gated Experts (WGE), which allows us to derive photometric redshifts through a combination of data mining techniques. The WGE, like many other machine learning techniques, is based on the exploitation of a spectroscopic knowledge base composed by sources for which a spectroscopic value of the redshift is available. This method achieves a variance σ2(Δz) = 2.3 × 10-4 [σ2(Δz) = 0.08, where Δz=zphot-zspec] for the reconstruction of the photometric redshifts for the optical galaxies from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) and for the optical quasars, respectively, while the root mean square (rms) of the Δz variable distributions for the two experiments is, respectively, equal to 0.021 and 0.35. The WGE provides also a mechanism for the estimation of the accuracy of each photometric redshift. We also present and discuss the catalogues obtained for the optical SDSS galaxies, for the optical candidate quasars extracted from the Data Release 7 of SDSS photometric data set (the sample of SDSS sources on which the accuracy of the reconstruction has been assessed is composed of bright sources, for a subset of which spectroscopic redshifts have been measured) and for optical SDSS candidate quasars observed by GALEX in the ultraviolet range. The WGE method exploits the new technological paradigm provided by the virtual observatory and the emerging field of astroinformatics.

description: Background: Alcohol is a frequent contributing factor to motor vehicle collision injuries. Our objective was to determine the proportion of intoxicated drivers hospitalized following motor vehicle crashes who were subsequently convicted of an impaired driving criminal code offence. Methods: We reviewed British Columbia Trauma Registry records from Jan. 1, 1992, to Mar. 31, 2000, and identified drivers of motor vehicles who were hospitalized for treatment of crash-related injuries. Patient identifiers were then used to link with the Insurance Corporation of British Columbia’s (ICBC) contraventions database and the ICBC Traffic Accident System collisions database. Results: Of 6067 patients identified in the Trauma Registry, 4042 had not been administered a blood ethanol test, 209 had no driver’s licence match in the relevant databases and 119 died, leaving 1697 eligible patients. Mean age was 34 years, and 79.6% were male. The average Injury Severity Score was 20, the average hospital stay was 14 days and, among ethanol-positive patients, the mean ethanol level was 34.0 mmol/L (156.4 mg/dL). In patients with levels >17.3 mmol/L, the police had listed ethanol as a contributing factor in 70.6% of cases. Despite this, only 11.0% were convicted of impaired driving and 8.4% of another criminal offence; 10.7% received a 24-hour roadside prohibition, 3.9% received a 90-day administrative driving prohibition and 25.0% were convicted of a contravention of the Motor Vehicle Act. Forty-one percent were not convicted of any offence at all. Conclusions: Intoxicated drivers in British Columbia requiring hospitalization as a result of alcohol- related motor vehicle crashes are seldom convicted of impaired driving or other criminal code offences.

Spatial statistics of marine boundary layer clouds

Publisher: name: American Geophysical Union
Year: 2016

description: An analysis is presented of the structure functions and scalar spectra for 25 satellite-derived marine stratocumulus cloud optical depth fields. The scenes, which cover a horizontal domain of 58 × 58 km at a resolution of 28.5 m, are partitioned into two ensembles on the basis of cloud fraction. For the fully cloudy scenes, although there is wide scene-to-scene variability, both the average isotropic scalar spectrum and the average isotropic second-order structure function exhibit power law behavior over approximately two decades, with scale-invariant exponents equal to those expected for inertial-subrange passive tracer fluctuations. Higher-order structure functions show anomalous scaling that closely matches that observed for wind tunnel temperature fluctuations and for other fully cloudy observations. The partly cloudy scenes, while scaling, show different behavior. The average isotropic second-order structure function and average isotropic scalar spectrum have scale-invariant exponents that are significantly smaller than those of the fully cloudy scenes, and the analysis of the higher-order structure functions indicates that the field has much more intermittent fluctuations than the fully cloudy scenes. Fits to random cascade models for the fully cloudy scenes show that the increment statistics are consistent with an underlying log normal distribution. For the partly cloudy scenes a divergence of higher-order moments is predicted, indicating that the field fluctuations are necessarily derived from fat-tailed distributions and that there will be significant realization dependence of the measured statistics. In addition, the presence of long-range correlations in all the data predicts that single-point histograms of the field values will have significant scene-to-scene variability, or equivalently, the use of spatial averages in the approximation of the parameters of the single-point probability density function of the field will result in random fluctuations of the estimated parameters.

Nonlinear multivariate and time series analysis by neural network methods
Creators: name: Hsieh, William W.
Publisher: name: American Geophysical Union
Year: 2016

description: Methods in multivariate statistical analysis are essential for working with large amounts of geophysical data, data from observational arrays, from satellites, or from numerical model output. In classical multivariate statistical analysis, there is a hierarchy of methods, starting with linear regression at the base, followed by principal component analysis (PCA) and finally canonical correlation analysis (CCA). A multivariate time series method, the singular spectrum analysis (SSA), has been a fruitful extension of the PCA technique. The common drawback of these classical methods is that only linear structures can be correctly extracted from the data. Since the late 1980s, neural network methods have become popular for performing nonlinear regression and classification. More recently, neural network methods have been extended to perform nonlinear PCA (NLPCA), nonlinear CCA (NLCCA), and nonlinear SSA (NLSSA). This paper presents a unified view of the NLPCA, NLCCA, and NLSSA techniques and their applications to various data sets of the atmosphere and the ocean (especially for the El Niño-Southern Oscillation and the stratospheric quasi-biennial oscillation). These data sets reveal that the linear methods are often too simplistic to describe real-world systems, with a tendency to scatter a single oscillatory phenomenon into numerous unphysical modes or higher harmonics, which can be largely alleviated in the new nonlinear paradigm.

THE LIFE OF THE UZBEK AND RUSSIAN WRITER ALEXANDER ARKADIVICH FEINBERG, THE IMPORTANCE OF HIS CREATIVITY TODAY
Creators: name: Uralova, Feruza
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2024

description: In the annals of literary history, the name Alexander Arkadivich Feinberg stands as a beacon of artistic brilliance, transcending the boundaries of his Uzbek and Russian heritage to leave an indelible mark on the world of literature. Born in the vibrant city of Tashkent, Uzbekistan, in 1924, Feinberg's life was a tapestry woven with the threads of cultural diversity, intellectual curiosity, and an unwavering dedication to the written word. Feinberg's early years were shaped by the turbulent political landscape of the Soviet Union, a time of great upheaval and transformation. As a young man, he witnessed firsthand the profound impact of the Bolshevik Revolution and the subsequent establishment of the Soviet regime. These formative experiences would later infuse his writings with a profound sense of social awareness and a keen understanding of the human condition. In this article we will give information about writer’s life and creations.
Australische Perzeptionen der Machtverschiebung im asiatisch-pazifischen Raum

description: The shift in discussion among Australia political and intellectual elite over the last decade could be aptly summarized with the words It the geography, stupid! Today question of concern is no longer about British heritage and Asian geography, as was the case three decades earlier. Instead, the burden (and opportunities) due to the country geography have finally prevailed. There is currently one question in Australian foreign and strategic policy that matters more than any other: How should Australia respond to the shifting dynamics of the great powers in the region? The starting point of this discussion was the publication of Hugh White analysis Power Shift: Australia Future between Washington and Beijing in 2010. After more than two years of extensive debate, the options appeared to be clear: Stakes had been set anywhere between armed neutrality and an even closer strategic partnership with the United States, or rather, between massive rearmament and pragmatic no worries policy. In fact, discussion about the matter revealed that power shift means more than relative decline in US power and the rise of China. How are India, Japan, Korea, and Indonesia reacting to this changing political situation? Which new coalitions could possibly emerge, and what role can the region security architecture play? Australia is currently in an unstable international environment: Military expenditures are on the rise (not only in China, but in the whole region), numerous territorial disputes remain unsolved, the lack of conflict-resolution mechanisms is evident, and nationalism is getting stronger while the future role of the USA in the region is unclear. The discussion of these questions is therefore more than just friendly academic exchange of opinion for the Australian security-policy community.

description: Since the introduction of democracy, political and societal conflicts have become more visible in Indonesia. This article focuses on religious conflicts, highlights the recent developments and patterns, and analyzes the state insufficient performance in protecting all of its citizens. The current Indonesian government tends to react rather passively to religious intolerance, discrimination and violence, and the many Indonesian non-governmental organizations and individuals committed to interrelig ious dialogue are running in place. Three main causes are identified that trigger religious discrimination and violence in Indonesia namely, the legal framework and its implementation, Islamization and Christianization, and the military and police. The thesis of this article is that policy engagement with these three factors is crucial in order to foster religious peace.

Quality, Employability and Capabilities: The Enduring Elusive Triangle in Indian Education
Creators: name: Venkataraman, Lakshmi Narayanan
Publisher: name: Asien
Year: 2021

description: India is historically known for its caste system and ascriptive social stratification. Inheritance-based ascription permits small percentage of the population to be at the top of the social hierarchy and enjoy economic privileges. For this reason, the intersection between caste and economic factors often reproduces the underclass (MacDonald 1997). This is largely due to the country socio-historic underpinnings. Although caste-specific sociological representation has been well established in the mainstream literature, this paper analyses the intersectional aspects of caste and class dimensions. Its analysis of the social underclass is based on interviews with educated unemployed youths in southern India. As the paper has been conceptually influenced by capability approach (Sen 1999), its main aim is to highlight the dualistic interaction between human agency and social structure. To this end, reflexive in sights were collected from an ethnographic restudy of Sripuram in South India. Sripuram, classic sociological field site, was first studied by renowned Indian sociologist Andre Beteille in the 1960s. He conducted fieldwork on caste, class and power dimensions in this village. By revisiting the same village five decades later, the author of this paper has attempted to analyse the caste, class and education of the poor.

description: In order to understand and predict the role of organic particles in the atmosphere their deliquescence behavior must be understood. Using an optical microscope coupled to a flow cell, we investigated the deliquescence of malonic, succinic, glutaric, and adipic acid particles with sizes ranging from 2 to 40 mm. Deliquescence relative humidities were determined for temperatures ranging from 293 to 243 K. Over this temperature range both succinic acid and adipic acid deliquesced at approximately 100% relative humidity, whereas malonic acid and glutaric acid deliquesced at significantly lower relative humidities. These results are generally in good agreement with previous studies and are within 3% of calculations based on the UNIQUAC (universal quasi-chemical) Functional Group Activity Coefficients (UNIFAC) model and recently published interaction parameters. Our studies also include measurements at temperatures below the eutectic temperatures. At these temperatures, ice did not nucleate; rather the particles underwent deliquescence to form metastable solution droplets. This indicates that solid dicarboxylic acids are not good ice nuclei above 243 K and hence will probably not play a role in ice cloud formation at these temperatures.

description: Despite the everyday use of clear, dichotomous we-they/us-them categories, people in Makassar (Ujung Pandang), Indonesia transcend binary ways of thinking and acting in several ways. Makassar is a regional metropolis and center of migration with a high degree of cultural diversity and a long tradition of intercultural encounters and religious tolerance. This paper seeks to foster the empirical study of vernacular cosmopolitanism. The theoretical approach of transdifference is explained and used to analyze data from participant observation in the urban fringe. In everyday life and talk, different binary categorizations level each other out. In addition, several regional (provincial) and other transethnic categorizations are also known. The example of transdifferent identity and signs of an emergent cosmopolitanism demonstrate that social life is more complicated than fashionable cultural theorizing would have us believe. Cultures should be conceived as systemic ways of living collectively; they are neither separate containers nor simply cultural flows or ethnoscapes. It is concluded that transdifference and local forms of vernacular cosmopolitanism should be studied comparatively both in urban and rural settings in Asia.

description: Abstract Reducing energy consumption is the next frontier in the combat against climate change. The UK, as a member of the European Union has a non-binding target of reducing energy use by 20% by 2020, with energy efficiency at the cornerstone of the government’s strategy. But with increased pressure from the European Commission to move to mandatory targets and current energy policies not delivering to their full potential, improved targeting of energy efficiency measures at household level is key to successful policy. London alone, home to some 8 million people, is by far the highest number of hard-to-treat properties, as far as energy efficiency improvements are concerned. The capital has nonetheless lost out under previous carbon schemes due to the higher cost of increasing building efficiency. Its intrinsic urban and cosmopolitan characteristics have been diluted in national energy related classifications. This study creates a London classification for household energy consumption build on geodemographic principles. This classification can enable energy behaviour profiling at a regional (Greater London) level to serve as a basis for improved targeting. Seven distinct clusters emerged as a result of this analysis ranging from the energy-intensive wealthy owners to the fuel-poor social renters. The study has been carried out within the open-source philosophy. The analytical process was based on public data and we have made the first step towards making the outcome of this study publically downloadable on the web. Our final offline visualisation of the classification is presented on a map following the Charles Booth tradition, infamously tied to the very roots of geodemographic-based classifications.

description: The present research was carried out with the aim to determine the correlation between ploidy level, steroid glycoalkaloids (SGAs) content and resistance against Late blight (Phytophthora infestans (Mont.) de Bary), and Colorado potato beetle (Leptinotarsa decemlineata (Say)) in cultivated and wild Solanum species preserved in the Potato Gene Bank of Czech Republic. In this study 27 species were included which consist of five cultivated and 22 wild species, with a total of 31 genotypes (four species represented by two accessions). In this study 70.97% of genotypes were evaluated as diploid, 3.23% were triploid, 19.35% tetraploid and 6.45% hexaploid as depicted from counting of chromosomes. The highest concentration, of foliage α-solanine (5,450 mg kg-1 ) and α-chaconine (9,420 mg kg-1 ) of dry matter was found in the specie S. yungasense 00070, whereas lowest 1.1 mg kg-1 and 2.3 mg kg-1 in S. pinnatisectum 00051, respectively, Tukey’s test of one way anova was performed for getting significance from the data obtained and found significant variation among species of steroid glycoalkaloids (SGA) content in dry weight at level of P ≤ 0.01. Leaf damages by Leptinotarsa decemlineata under field experiment circumstances were also recorded. In vitro study, S. bulbocastanum PIS 06-17 and S. bulbocastanum 00240 shown resistant to P. infestans upon inoculation of aggressive isolates and strong resistance was observed in S. stoloniferum 00295, S. sucrense 0062 and S. yungasense 0070. Nevertheless, there was no correlation of ploidy level, SGA contents and resistance to the CPB (r = 0.00) and late blight (r = 0.076) found in the investigated Solanum species.
A framework for understanding the policy process for construction

description: The policy process for construction in the UK does not seem to deliver the intended results, yet relatively little research has been carried out in this area using the analytical frameworks and tools available from other disciplines. The approach known as Political Economy Analysis (PEA) was investigated by its application to policy for construction using sectoral level policy (Construction Industrial Policy, CIP) as the unit of analysis. The research strategy was interpretivist and the research design was cross-sectional. Two parallel, but mutually reinforcing, objectives were adopted. [Continues.]

description: Data is of great importance in both private and professional environments, as it is essential for communication, organisation, entertainment, business decisions, innovation and security.  Data also plays an important role in scientific research. It not only forms the basis for knowledge, but is also crucial for the reproducibility, traceability and integrity of research results and can be reused for further research. The long-term storage and accessibility of data may therefore be necessary. The data is made accessible or stored in databases, repositories and archives. On the other hand, sensitivity aspects may require the secure deletion of data.  Many researchers find it difficult to delete data. The decision as to whether data should or can be retained or deleted, but also how data should be stored, depends on various factors and can vary depending on the context.  This article is intended to provide guidance on keeping or deleting data.
