By section. 18(3) the Act will be brought into force on a date appointed by statutory instrument.
On Barks, Bites, and Promises

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Abstract The demise of Poland and Hungary as constitutional democracies clearly illustrate that the EU is unable to guarantee the preservation of democracy and the rule of law. Beyond looking at the response provided by EU institutions to the amplification of the rule of law backsliding in Hungary and Poland, this chapter provides an overview of how the EU is maturing as a constitutional system as a result of the challenge. The lesson of the crisis is thus a positive one: the EU is discovering the substance of the core principles guiding its own legal system and the CJEU provides a guiding light in this process.
Conservative Management of Placenta Accreta by Systemic Metho-trexate: Report of Two Cases and Review of the Literature

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Objective: Owing to the growing number of cesarean deliveries, the abnormally invasive placenta-tion so called placenta accreta rate is increasing. Placenta accreta is difficult to manage and traditionally resolved by cesarean hysterectomy after the birth due to the following massive hemorrhage. In recent years different conservative treatments leaving partially or totally the placenta in the uterine cavity have been reported in patients willing to preserve their fertility. Methods: We reviewed literature data about conservative management of placenta accreta in the PubMed, Researchgate and Medline from 2007 to date. We included in the review the studies about the use of methotrexate (MTX) for conservative treatment of placenta accreta. Results: We reported 2 literature reviews and 4 studies about the use of MTX in the management of placenta accreta and 2 unpublished cases treated in our Department. MTX is administered when it is not possible to remove totally or partly the placenta accreta in order to promote the cytolysis of the residual trophoblast. The schedule and outcome of the methotrexate use have not been established yet due to the paucity of literature data. Conclusions: The role of MTX to improve both, the feasibility and success rate of conservative management and placental resorption needs further studies. Hemodynamic stability of patients and informed consent are prerequisites before starting MTX treatment. Vaginal bleeding and infections may complicate the conservative treatment and close surveillance is recommended by imaging techniques and laboratory parameters.
Clinical Features and Surgical Outcomes of Spinal Tumors: A Multicenter Study

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Objective: to evaluate the appearance, improvement, and complication rates of surgically removed spinal tumors. Material and Methods: After obtaining the ethics committee's approval, this multicenter study continued from Jan 2020 to Jan 2021 at the Department of Neurosurgery mmc Mardan. This research covered all instances of spinal tumors that were surgically removed during this time. Recurrent spinal tumors and metastatic spinal cancers admitted for conservative or palliative care were excluded from this investigation. A neurological state comparison at six months with preoperative status is recorded. Version 26 of Spss software is used to evaluate data. Results: 27 female and 20 male patients totaling 47, were operated on during this time. In our research, intradural extra medullary lesions, which affected 18 patients (38.29%) the most, were followed by epidural lesions, which involved 13 patients (27.65%). Nine patients (19.14%) had an intradural intramedullary lesion. Pain in the form of backache, radiculopathy, and radiculomyelopathy (30 patients, 63.8%) is the most typical manifestation of these malignancies. The second joint Presentation is a motor impairment shown as a weakness (27 cases, 58.51%). CSF leak occurs in 05 individuals, with the most common postoperative consequence (7.44%). 75.5% of patients get good from a decent symptom result (36). There is evidence of neurological dysfunction in 3 cases (5.31%). Conclusion: The preferred course of therapy for spinal tumors is microsurgical excision with acceptable morbidity and successful surgical findings. Keywords: Spinal tumors, Microsurgical treatment,
Incorporating real-time acoustic ranging and glider-based Doppler measurements to aid vehicle navigation

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

In the summer of 2017, two Seagliders equipped with low frequency acoustic recorders and 1 MHz acoustic Doppler current profilers (ADCPs) were deployed in the Canada Basin as part of a large-scale acoustic tomography experiment. Acoustic tomography sources were moored at approximately 175 m depth within an acoustic duct enabling acoustic transmission to be received at long ranges. The sources transmitted at a center frequency of approximately 250 Hz every four hours, and ranges between the sources and Seaglider were estimated in real time using a WHOI MicroModem. These ranges can be incorporated into an extended Kalman filter for navigation. In addition, glider-mounted upward-looking ADCPs recorded ~26.5 m shear profiles every 15 seconds. These overlapping profiles can be used to estimate (in post-processing) both the local current profile on a per-dive basis and the glider's relative velocity through the water. In real time, the close-range ADCP velocity measurements can be used to estimate the glider's relative (Through The Water, TTW) velocity to improve the glider's subsea position estimate. We will describe our recent developments in using these Doppler measurements to aid glider navigation, comparing the results to previous developments in range-aided navigation.
Civil alliances – Palestine, 1947–1948

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Between November 1947 (The UN Partition Plan for Palestine) and May 1948 (The creation of the state of Israel), many Jewish and Arab communities who cared for their country intensified the negotiations between themselves and initiated urgent encounters, some short and spontaneous, others planned meticulously to the last detail, during which the participants raised demands, sought compromises, set rules, formulated agreements, made promises, sought forgiveness, and made efforts to compensate and reconcile. Their shared purpose was to prevent the rising violence in the area from taking over their lives. They sought to protect the common world of their life in Palestine and to salvage it from those who wished to destroy it. In over 100 documented encounters – and probably many more whose records have yet to be found – they promised themselves and each other the continuation of their shared lives. In 2012 I directed a film based on archival documents depicting these events. This essay, followed by the transcript of those events, reflects upon the importance of this chapter for a potential history of Palestine, as well as on her cinematic decisions to film the movie around a map of Mandatory Palestine (from 1947) with the participation of 25 Arabs and Jews of varying ages speaking in Hebrew and in Arabic.
AMPK Modulates the Metabolic Adaptation of C6 Glioma Cells in Glucose-Deprived Conditions without Affecting Glutamate Transport

Field: Neuroscience (Life Sciences)

Energy homeostasis in the central nervous system largely depends on astrocytes, which provide metabolic support and protection to neurons. Astrocytes also ensure the clearance of extracellular glutamate through high-affinity transporters, which indirectly consume ATP. Considering the role of the AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) in the control of cell metabolism, we have examined its implication in the adaptation of astrocyte functions in response to a metabolic stress triggered by glucose deprivation. We genetically modified the astrocyte-like C6 cell line to silence AMPK activity by overexpressing a dominant negative mutant of its catalytic subunit. Upon glucose deprivation, we found that C6 cells maintain stable ATP levels and glutamate uptake capacity, highlighting their resilience during metabolic stress. In the same conditions, cells with silenced AMPK activity showed a reduction in motility, metabolic activity, and ATP levels, indicating that their adaptation to stress is compromised. The rate of ATP production remained, however, unchanged by AMPK silencing, suggesting that AMPK mostly influences energy consumption during stress conditions in these cells. Neither AMPK modulation nor prolonged glucose deprivation impaired glutamate uptake. Together, these results indicate that AMPK contributes to the adaptation of astrocyte metabolism triggered by metabolic stress, but not to the regulation of glutamate transport.
A Proof of an Identity for Multiplicative Functions

Field: Mathematics (Physical Sciences)

An arithmetic function f is said to be multiplicative if f ( mn ) = f ( m ) f ( n ), whenever ( m, n ) = 1 and f (1) = 1. The Dirichlet convolution of two arithmetic functions f and g , denoted by f • g , is defined by f • g ( n ) = Σ d|n f ( d ) g ( n/d ). Let w ( n ) denote the product of the distinct prime factors of n , with w ( l ) = 1. R.
Functional lung volume mapping with perfusion Single-Photon Emission Computed Tomography scan for radiotherapy planning in patients with locally advanced nonsmall cell lung cancer

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Objectives Radical chemotherapy-radiotherapy represents the standard treatment for locally-advanced nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Conventional radiotherapy achieves limited local tumor control, but dose escalation to the primary tumor is prevented by radiotherapy-induced toxicity. The aim of this study was to evaluate feasibility of tailored intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) planning based on lung single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) perfusion data and to compare functional and conventional dose-volume parameters. Methods A total of 21 patients were prospectively enrolled. Patients underwent IMRT treatment with 2 Gy/fraction (median total dose of 60 Gy). Lung perfusion SPECT images were acquired before radiotherapy and 3 and 6 months after radiotherapy completion. SPECT and planning computed tomography images were co-registered using MIM-MAESTRO software with 3D-PET Edge algorithm. Lung volumes were defined anatomically as total lung and functionally as total not functional lung and total functional lung. Dose-volume histograms were calculated using QUANTEC constraints [mean lung dose (MLD)<20 Gy, V 20 <20%]. For each patient, conventional and functional radiotherapy plans were generated and compared. Results A total of 19 of 21 patients with NSCLC were included (mean age 66 years, 11 stage IIIA, 8 stage IIIB), 12/19 patients completed the 6-months follow-up. A significant reduction of mean V 20 was observed in functional radiotherapy planning compared to conventional plan (405.9 cc, P < 0.001). Mean MLD was also lower in the SPECT-based plans, but the difference was not statistically relevant (0.8 Gy, P = 0.299). G2 radiation pneumonitis was observed in two patients. Conclusions Functional radiotherapy planning allowed to decrease functional lung irradiation compared to conventional planning. The possibility to limit radiotherapy-induced toxicity could allow us to perform an effective dose-escalation to target volume.

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

This volume collects papers written during the past two decades that explore various aspects of late Second Temple period Jewish literature and the figurative art of the Late Antique synagogues. Most of the papers have a special emphasis on the reinterpretation of biblical figures in early Judaism or demonstrate how various biblical traditions converged into early Jewish theologies. The structure of the volume reflects the main directions of the author's scholarly interest, examining the Dead Sea Scrolls, the Apocrypha and Pseudepigrapha, and Late Antique synagogues. The book is edited for the interest of scholars of Second Temple Judaism, biblical interpretation, synagogue studies and the effective history of Scripture.
Race, racialisation and colour-caste: Neville Alexander's contribution to the philosophy of race

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

Since race categories do not pick out biologically significant divisions of humanity, their use can be misleading and offensive. Yet racialisation – society’s viewing and treating South Africans as though they comprised different races – has generated real societal groups which are significant from the perspectives of justice and identity. In the philosophy of race, these facts make for a conceptual conundrum. Is common-sense race thinking right that races, if they exist, are human groups differing in significant, inherent and heritable ways, in which case there are no races? Or has common-sense race thinking failed to grasp races’ socially constructed nature, and should we say races are the really existing groups generated by racialisation? The same facts confronted the Non-European Unity Movement (NEUM) – a mid-20th-century South African liberation movement – with an organisational and theoretical challenge. Given its uncompromising non-racialism, how could it justify a federal structure which effectively divided its membership into African, Coloured, and Indian sections? If this was not race-based division, what was it? A former NEUM member, Neville Alexander, provided the Unity Movement with the conceptual resources to answer this challenge. I argue that his major work, One Azania, One Nation, is also a contribution to the philosophy of race. Alexander first contends that social constructionists cannot, without equivocation, claim that common-sense thinking about race in one sense has created races in a quite different sense. He then shows that introducing a second concept, ‘colour-caste’, can preserve the insights of the constructionist approach. While races are unreal, colour-castes are real social identities which need to be overcome.
Perbandingan Tarif Rumah Sakit dan INA-CBG pada Pasien Diabetes Mellitus Tipe II Rawat Jalan di RSIJ Sukapura

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

Background: The National Health Insurance Program helps patients pay for medical expenses and provides financial protection against unexpected health risks. INA-CBG system is used for healthcare payments, where the payment is determined based on type of disease the patient has. However, the rates set by INA-CBG are lower than hospital rates, causing financial losses and affecting the quality of service. Purpose: This research aims to compare rates to maintain hospital financial balance and fair access to services. Method: This study uses comparative quantitative research method with cross-sectional approach. The research was conducted at Rumah Sakit Islam Jakarta Sukapura. The sampling technique used was saturated sampling, with a sample of 374 claim data for type II diabetes mellitus patients from October to December 2023. Data were taken from Zi-Care system, which has been bridged with INA-CBG. The data collection tool used was a checklist. The analysis techniques included univariate and bivariate analysis using Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test. Results: The research results show that the total hospital cost is Rp265,805,506, with the highest value being Rp2,746,407 and the lowest value being Rp161,000. The total INA-CBG cost is Rp73,341,400. P-value of 0.0001 indicates a significant difference between both variables. Conclusion: The difference in rates resulted in the hospital experiencing a loss of IDR 192,464,106. Hospitals need to refer drug collection to external pharmacies, and BPJS must evaluate INA-CBG rates to match hospital expenditure to prevent losses.
The Emergence of Innovation Complexity at Different Geographical and\n Technological Scales

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

We define a novel quantitative strategy inspired by the ecological notion of\nnestedness to single out the scale at which innovation complexity emerges from\nthe aggregation of specialized building blocks. Our analysis not only suggests\nthat the innovation space can be interpreted as a natural system in which\nadvantageous capabilities are selected by evolutionary pressure, but also that\nthe emerging structure of capabilities is not independent of the scale of\nobservation at which they are observed. Expanding on this insight allows us to\nunderstand whether the capabilities characterizing the innovation space at a\ngiven scale are compatible with a complex evolutionary dynamics or, rather, a\nset of essentially independent activities allowing to reduce the system at that\nscale to a set of disjoint non interacting sub-systems. This yields a measure\nof the innovation complexity of the system, i.e. of the degree of\ninterdependence between the sets of capabilities underlying the system's\nbuilding blocks.\n
The Poeticized Novels of War: From The Lotus Lake to The Lily

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

In the literature of the liberated area and the 17-year literature, The Lotus Lake and The Lily, being the poeticized novels of war, showed their specialty and formed the literary phenomenon worth discussing in the 20th Chinese revolutionary literature. These two novels, on the one hand, met the demand of the main trends of the ideology; On the other hand, they showed some special quality of revolutionary literature in deviating from the main trends. The deviations lie in the literary form, style and emotion, which ha formed their unique aesthetic features. It is of significance for the revolutionary literature researches to discuss the heterogeneity formed in the special cultural and political environment in modern China.
Enhancing Sequence-Specific Cleavage of RNA within a Duplex Region:  Incorporation of 1,3-Propanediol Linkers into Oligonucleotide Conjugates of Serinol−Terpyridine

Field: Chemistry (Physical Sciences)

The syntheses and RNA cleavage efficiencies of a new series of oligonucleotide conjugates of Cu(II)-serinol-terpyridine and 1,3-propanediol are reported. These reagents, termed ribozyme mimics, were designed such that they would yield multiple unpaired RNA residues directly opposite the site of the RNA cleavage catalyst upon ribozyme mimic-RNA duplex formation. This design effect was implemented using the 1,3-propanediol linker 3, which mimics the three-carbon spacing between the 5'- and 3'-hydroxyls of a natural nucleotide. Incorporation of one or more of these 1,3-propanediol linkers at positions directly adjacent to the serinol-terpyridine modification in the ribozyme mimic DNA strand resulted in cleavage at multiple phosphates in a complementary 31-mer RNA target sequence. The linkers effectively created artificial mismatches in the RNA-DNA duplexes, rendering the opposing RNA residues much more susceptible to cleavage via the transesterification/hydrolysis pathway. The RNA cleavage products produced by the various mimics correlated directly with the number and locations of the linkers in their DNA strands, and the most active ribozyme mimic in the series exhibited multiple turnover in the presence of excess 31-mer RNA target.
Peri-procedure experiences during minimalist transcatheter aortic valve implantation: insights from patients' perspectives

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

Abstract Funding Acknowledgements Type of funding sources: None. Background There is growing evidence to support the implementation of a streamlined clinical pathway to optimise outcomes, improve program capacity, and facilitate safe early discharge home after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). In the peri-procedure phase, the adoption of a minimalist approach has accelerated the rapid transition from the use of general anaesthesia to default strategies ranging from conscious sedation to local anaesthesia only. Little is known of patients’ perspectives with undergoing minimalist TAVI. We aimed to explore what could be learned from this episode of care to inform multidisciplinary practice. Methods We conducted a prospective single centre qualitative study of TAVI patients within the first week of their discharge home, using purposeful sample to recruit a diverse population. We conducted individual interviews, using a semi-structured interview guide informed by pilot work and current evidence; open-ended questions were designed to explore patients’ perspectives of their peri-procedural experiences, inclusive of their recall of the procedure, interactions with team members, and the overall care received. Data were analyzed using interpretive description, a methodological approach appropriate to inform the knowledge needs of applied disciplines and conducive to generating new ideas and augment existing knowledge in the context of clinical practice. Results We recruited 15 participants, including 5 women, median age 82 (IQR 77,86); all patients had severe symptomatic aortic stenosis and multiple co-morbidities. TAVI was conducted using a transfemoral approach, with local anaesthesia only (n=4) or minimal sedation (n=11). Median length of stay was 1 day; one participant required a new permanent pacemaker; all participants were discharged home. The overarching theme of "I want to be a member of my Heart Team during my procedure" emerged; this aspiration, request and/or need was illustrated by three main themes: (1) "Who am I to them?", (2) "How can I be a good patient?", and (3) "How do I manage this complex wave of emotions?". Conclusions The rapid emergence of minimally invasive options for the treatment of valvular heart disease has established a new standard of care. Peri-procedure care initially informed by surgical practices have now shifted to most patients being conscious during TAVI and cared for by a smaller clinical team. The awareness of patients’ perspectives, and their inclusion in the Heart Team’s dynamics and processes offer important insights to optimise patients’ experiences of procedural care and clinical outcomes.
