Given a countable metric space, we can consider its end. Then a basis of a Hilbert space indexed by the metric space defines an end of the Hilbert space, which is a new notion and different from an end as a metric space. Such an indexed basis also defines unitary operators of finite propagation, and these operators preserve an end of a Hilbert space. Then, we can define a Hilbert bundle with end, which lightens up new structures of Hilbert bundles. In a special case, we can define characteristic classes of Hilbert bundles with ends, which are new invariants of Hilbert bundles. We show Hilbert bundles with ends appear in natural contexts. First, we generalize the pushforward of a vector bundle along a finite covering to an infinite covering, which is a Hilbert bundle with end under a mild condition. Then we compute characteristic classes of some pushforwards along infinite coverings. Next, we will show the spectral decompositions of nice differential operators give rise to Hilbert bundles with ends, which elucidate new features of spectral decompositions. The spectral decompositions we will consider are the Fourier transform and the harmonic oscillators. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

3. Applications of Order Trees in Infinite Graphs.
- Author
-
Pitz, Max
- Abstract
Traditionally, the trees studied in infinite graphs are trees of height at most ω, with each node adjacent to its parent and its children (and every branch of the tree inducing a path or a ray). However, there is also a method, systematically introduced by Brochet and Diestel, of turning arbitrary well-founded order trees T into graphs, in a way such that every T-branch induces a generalised path in the sense of Rado. This article contains an introduction to this method and then surveys four recent applications of order trees to infinite graphs, with relevance for well-quasi orderings, Hadwiger's conjecture, normal spanning trees and end-structure, the last two addressing long-standing open problems by Halin.

During the floristic surveys in 2020–2023 in the United Arab Emirates, we recorded Maerua crassifolia Forssk., which is new to the flora of the Emirate of Abu Dhabi. This species has a distribution across Africa, through the Arabian Peninsula, to Iran and Pakistan. We discuss the geographic range of this species, its presence in the Arabian Peninsula, and its conservation status. Our new record expands the geographic distribution of the species and highlights the importance of expanding botanical surveys to increase the knowledge on the floral diversity of the emirate.

6. The end of COVID-19: not with a bang but a whimper.

Bond, Laura and McNicholas, Fiona
- Abstract
The formal announcement of the end of the COVID-19 pandemic by the WHO came on the 5th of May 2023; however, unlike the pandemic onset, the pandemic end date was not met with any significant media coverage or news reporting in Ireland. Additionally, there were no series of contemplations either in newspapers or other media about the impact of the decision to formally end the pandemic despite having financial and legislative impacts on a wide number of people. Given the potential impact of the removal of government subsidies on health and occupations, government and media coverage of the decisions and potential implications would have been helpful. The opportunity for a significant debriefing of the pandemic outlining what we have learned from the COVID-19 pandemic response may have been missed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

[Abstract]: Objective: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) C677T polymorphism and early neurological deterioration (END) in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) and any possible interactions between specific MTHFR alleles and traditional risk factors among a Han Chinese cohort. Methods: 434 AIS patients were consecutively recruited between January 2017 and June 2019, including 129 END and 305 non-END cases. A candidate gene association study design was used to analyze the association between MTHFR gene polymorphism and END risk. The polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) method was employed to genotype the MTHFR C677T polymorphism. The interactional analyses were performed using the multifactor dimensionality reduction test. Results: Hyperglycemia (odds ratio [OR]: 2.410, 95 % confidence interval [CI]: 1.436–4.046, p = 0.001), neurological function impairment (NIHSS score >5) (OR: 2.158, 95%CI: 1.337–3.484, p = 0.002) on admission, and hyperhomocysteinemia (HHcy) (OR: 2.570, 95%CI: 1.229–5.376, p = 0.012) were independently associated with END. The TT genotype (OR: 1.710, 95%CI: 1.021–2.863, p = 0.043) and T allele (OR: 1.710, 95%CI: 1.021–2.863, p = 0.043) of this C677T polymorphism were associated with susceptibility to END, and the TT genotype was more common in the subjects with HHcy (OR: 2.525, 95%CI: 1.111–5.739, P = 0.023). In addition, we also found interactions for END risk between the C677T polymorphism and traditional risk factors for END, including: hyperglycemia on admission, drinking, and moderate to severe neurological deficits (OR 1.237, 95 % CI 0.227–6.734), although the results were not statistically significant (p = 0.806). Conclusions: Our results show a possible association between MTHFR C677T polymorphism and gene–environment interactions with END susceptibility in a Han Chinese cohort.

This paper focused on the provision of an affordable and less weight prosthetic arm for the Zimbabwe an population. There search concentrated on improving the amputees' living standards by means of providing them with a useful artificial arm which can perform tasks as a normal human arm. The literature review was thoroughly done by investigating the latest prostatic arms available in the market. The V model o revolutionary prototyping was used in there search project to account for every component of the prosthetic limb. The V-model is a type of software development life cycle (SDLC)paradigm where processes run sequentially in a V-shape. The Ruoko bot is flexible and affordable thanthe current artificial prosthetic available. The prosthetic limb has an Arduino board which allows the useof an artificial intelligence algorithm to determine which signal of the brain's waves should be translated into bodily motion by anEEGheadband.

We present a systematic investigation into how tree-decompositions of finite adhesion capture topological properties of the space formed by a graph together with its ends. As main results, we characterise when the ends of a graph can be distinguished, and characterise which subsets of ends can be displayed by a tree-decomposition of finite adhesion. In particular, we show that a subset Ψ of the ends of a graph G can be displayed by a tree-decomposition of finite adhesion if and only if Ψ is G δ (a countable intersection of open sets) in | G | , the topological space formed by a graph together with its ends. Since the undominated ends of a graph are easily seen to be G δ , this provides a structural explanation for Carmesin's result that the set of undominated ends can always be displayed.

kant ,freedom ,morality ,human ,end ,dignity ,law ,Philosophy (General) ,B1-5802 - Abstract
From Kant’s view, freedom is the universal property of humans as the autonomy of will. He established morals on the ground of freedom through legislation of Practical Reason. In Kant’s philosophy, freedom is a ground, based on which humans have dignity as an individual and human beings. The concept of freedom is conjunct with moral law and practical reason and is not found in the scope of nature. The moral law being freedom in a sense elevates humans from the scope of nature and gives them value and dignity, which is based on freedom and autonomy. A moral human creates value for the world, and human is the end of creation. The Intermediator of human relationship as a moral being and the end of nature is the freedom concept. This article is written concentrating on Kant’s view of “The relationship between dignity and humans freedom”. Freedom is neither an objective matter nor the subject of cognition because the concept of freedom is related to the rational world and is realized in the behavior and disposition of humans. Everything has a price or dignity in the land of ends. Whatever has a price could be traded, but what is more valuable than any value and has no equivalent whatsoever is dignity. The humanity of humans is the only being that has “dignity” as long as it is capable of having morality.

Antunes, Cristina, Cunha, Sofia, Baltazar, Luís, and Cruz, Paulo
- Abstract
Noise is a major environmental concern. To address this issue, the European Commission (EC) launched the Environmental Noise Directive (END), whose main objective is to assess and manage noise from various sources, including airports, roads, railways and agglomerations. An effective implementation of END requires the harmonisation of data supplied by various national agencies such as municipalities and airport authorities. This paper presents the Portuguese approach to the harmonization of data, as part of the END implementation, which was coordinated by the Portuguese Environmental Agency (APA). It also describes a set of principles and procedures developed by APA to ensure data harmonization and integration in a single platform, which provides interoperable information to decision makers, key stakeholders and general public, through Web Services.

In this paper, we establish two gap theorems for ends of smooth metric measure space (M^n, g,e^{-f}dv) with the Bakry-Émery Ricci tensor \operatorname {Ric}_{f}\!\ge -(n-1) in a geodesic ball B_{o}(R) with radius R and center o\in M^n. When \operatorname {Ric}_{f}\ge 0 and f has some degeneration outside B_{o}(R), we show that there exists an \epsilon =\epsilon (n,\sup _{B_{o}(1)}|f|) such that such a space has at most two ends if R\le \epsilon. When \operatorname {Ric}_{f}\ge \frac 12 and f(x)\le \frac 14d^2(x,B_{o}(R))+c for some constant c>0 outside B_{o}(R), we can also get the same gap conclusion. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The paper aims to present Hegel’s specific solution to the problem of beginning’s regression in the perspective of the crucial historical-philosophical inquiries of late 18th and early 19th centuries’ postKantian idealism. This historical background gives the opportunity to enrich the Hegelian doctrine of the circular philosophical system with the thesis of causality’s sublation in the reciprocal interdependence of developmental moments. The mutual justification of the starting point and the result, as well as of every grade in-between, provides a positive resolution of the epistemological skepticism, namely, by introducing it as an integral part of the dialectical progress-regression.

The surgical management of the clinical negative neck node in early oral tongue squamous cell carcinoma (OTSCC) has been the topic of debate since few decades. As the occult cervical lymph node metastasis is considered to be the prime prognostic factor in early OTSCC, this meta-analysis has been carried out to find the risk of regional nodal recurrence, disease specific survival and overall survival rates in outcome of Elective neck dissection (END) versus patients under observation. The articles were electronically retrieved from Ovid Medline, PubMed, Cochrane and Scholar for comparison of END versus Observation in early OTSCC. The search strategy identified 37 relevant review articles from April 1979 to April 2020 from different search engines. A total of 11,973 patients from 32 retrospective analysis, 4 prospective and 1 randomised control trial were included in this meta-analysis. Statistical analysis revealed Overall test (OR: 5.31 95% CI: − 2.132–14.698) with t-test 1.919 and p value 0.113 which is not statistically significant but the readings says that there is always better Disease specific survival with END patients rather than patients kept on observation. Overall test revealed (OR: 13.02 95% CI: 1.360–17.154) with t test 2.382 and p value 0.023 which is statistically significant and showed that End significantly reduced the risk of regional nodal recurrence. Overall test revealed (OR: 7.93 95% CI: − 15.461–4.238) with t test − 1.347 and p value 0.220 which is statistically insignificant and but showed that to some extent Overall survival improves in patient with END than the patients kept on observation. This meta-analysis find that there is statistically significant relationship when Elective neck dissection was performed which reduced the risk of regional nodal recurrence. This analysis didn't statistically find any significance in Disease specific survival and Overall survival with Elective neck dissection patients rather than patients kept on observation but however showed good prognosis when elective neck dissection was performed.

29. Countably determined ends and graphs.

Kurkofka, Jan and Melcher, Ruben
- Abstract
The directions of an infinite graph G are a tangle-like description of its ends: they are choice functions that choose a component of G − X for all finite vertex sets X ⊆ V (G) in a compatible manner. Although every direction is induced by a ray, there exist directions of graphs that are not uniquely determined by any countable subset of their choices. We characterise these directions and their countably determined counterparts in terms of star-like substructures or rays of the graph. Curiously, there exist graphs whose directions are all countably determined but which cannot be distinguished all at once by countably many choices. We structurally characterise the graphs whose directions can be distinguished all at once by countably many choices, and we structurally characterise the graphs whose directions cannot be distinguished in this manner. Our characterisations are phrased in terms of normal trees and tree-decompositions. Our four (sub)structural characterisations imply combinatorial characterisations of the four classes of infinite graphs that are defined by the first and second axiom of countability applied to their end spaces: the two classes of graphs whose end spaces are first countable or second countable, respectively, and the complements of these two classes.

New records of the Endangered Catagonus wagneri (Rusconi, 1930) are reported in Campo Grande Community of peasants, northwestern Santiago del Estero, Argentina. The new records were obtained through camera traps as well as the finding of a skull and footprints. We conducted interviews confirmed the historical presence of the species. The records indicate the presence of C. wagneri in the North Biological Corridor, expanding this species’ distribution in Santiago del Estero province, providing initial evidence of potential connection between northern and southern populations.

This paper examines St. Thomas Aquinas’s and Immanuel Kant’s notions of measurement and judgment, particularly measuring and judging beauty, to demonstrate their respective conclusions about the highest achievement of man. For St. Thomas’s view, I draw from a variety of St. Thomas’s writings as well as rely on Peter Redpath’s research into St. Thomas’s understanding of measuring and judging. For Kant’s view, I focus on Kant’s perspective as written in The Critique of Judgement. In this paper, I argue that by examining the way both St. Thomas and Kant measure and judge beauty, we can see that, for Kant, man’s highest achievement is to live the moral life, while for St. Thomas, man’s highest achievement is to know the good and God. Interestingly, for both philosophers, their conclusions about man’s highest achievements wind through their understanding of beauty and the way beauty is measured and judged.

The author first explains wisdom and its importance to moral philosophy. Secondly, he follows with a consideration of the nature of things and the soul as told by Lucretius. Then he presents a brief summary on St. Thomas understanding of soul and how his faculty psychology is a superior explanation of moral philosophy. The author concludes by showing how Lucretius’ ethical system fails and to attain true happiness we must take up a faculty psychology aimed at virtue and the perfection of the soul, the principle form of the human person.

CAUSALITY (Physics) , *APPERCEPTION , *CLIMATE change , *PHILOSOPHY - Abstract
This essay considers and reflects upon the principle of causality and its relation to the global environmental crisis. Parting from some of Immanuel Kant's views on causality and freedom as well as from Heidegger's reading of causality in Kant, it asks some questions about the role of human activity in the principle of causality, the relation between causality and freedom, and in what possible different way we could interpret causality and environment. The essay proposes that instead of trying to decide on the subject of who causes the environmental crisis, and on the subject capable to solve it, one must turn the intention of inquiry to the very principle of causality and consider the need to rethink this notion today.

MORAL judgment , *ETERNITY , *SUPERNATURAL , *HUMAN beings - Abstract
In The End of All Things, Kant clearly distinguishes eternity in the sense of noumenon, from eternity in the sense of time. The distinction between these two concepts corresponds to that between phenomenon and thing-in-itself. While thinking about the transition from time to noumenal eternity, Kant raises the question of the end of human history. He interprets human history in a regulatory way as a human drama with a beginning and an end planned by God. The final end of history is the realization of the highest good, and human history is the time journey going towards that end. According to this moral order, the end of history does not block the infinite extension of time, but it has a two-sided relationship with it. The supernatural end will cut off the process of time. The contranatural end will reverse the horrifying image of the Last Judgment and moral motive, and by so doing it will in fact cancel the authority of human reason's lawgiving. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

METRIC spaces , *TREES - Abstract
We prove that every graph has a canonical tree of tree-decompositions that distinguishes all principal tangles (these include the ends and various kinds of large finite dense structures) efficiently. Here 'trees of tree-decompositions' are a slightly weaker notion than 'tree-decompositions' but much more well-behaved than 'tree-like metric spaces'. This theorem is best possible in the sense that we give an example that 'trees of tree-decompositions' cannot be strengthened to 'tree-decompositions' in the above theorem. This implies results of Dunwoody and Krön as well as of Carmesin, Diestel, Hundertmark and Stein. Beyond that for locally finite graphs our result gives for each k ∈ N canonical tree-decompositions that distinguish all k -distinguishable ends efficiently. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper is written to articulate in a summary form 14 evidently-known essential and personalistic principles from the teachings of St. Thomas Aquinas needed, especially by Pope Francis, to understand a third period of neo-Thomism we are now in: Born-again, or Ragamuffin, Thomism. It maintains that, without application of these principles to the Church’s “new evangelization,” this movement will fail. With that failure the Church will be unable to halt the cultural suicide in which the West is presently engaged.

Since Wittgenstein is known for his two philosophies, one of the concerns of interpreters of his thoughts is to understand the relation between his two philosophies. Hutto is one of the interpreters who have endeavored to identify a reliable relation between Wittgenstein’s philosophies in order to present a coherent and consistent interpretation of these philosophies. In his view, this approach results in resolving superficial and profound conflicts in Wittgenstein’s philosophies. In Hutto’s words, an integrated basis that relates Wittgenstein’s two philosophies is Wittgenstein’s “end of philosophy”, and his attitude towards “nature and meaning of language”. Based on Hutto’s interpretation, in two of Wittgenstein’s intellectual periods, the end of philosophy was ‘description’, but Wittgenstein’s philosophical attitude towards the nature of language was evolved: an evolution from logical form to form of life. Hutto attempts to show that this evolution was not Wittgenstein’s main intention and it emerged through the method he applied for offering his thoughts. In Hutto’s view, Wittgenstein’s attitude in his second philosophy is correct, based on the ‘functional attitude’ and his attitude in his first philosophy is faulty, based on the ‘picture theory’, and this fault results from Wittgenstein’s confusion. He intends to extend the second philosophy method to the first philosophy in order to interpret the whole philosophy by one end and attitude. Although his conclusion is exquisite, it results in the conclusion that in Tractatus, there is no substantial point worth keeping.

The essay approaches the problem of a possible differentiation between the death of the animal and that of the human being. Stepping beyond the Cartesian sharp dichotomy of the human and animal life, we follow the line of such philosophers as Montaigne, Spinoza, and Hume, who were radically critical towards the unwarranted claims of anthropocentric phantasies. Interpreting poetic texts of Emily Dickinson and Ted Hughes we demonstrate that reflecting upon animality we can get a new insight into the place and meaning of death in our lives as well as into foundations of our speech.

- Abstract
Objective: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) C677T polymorphism and early neurological deterioration (END) in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) and any possible interactions between specific MTHFR alleles and traditional risk factors among a Han Chinese cohort., Methods: 434 AIS patients were consecutively recruited between January 2017 and June 2019, including 129 END and 305 non-END cases. A candidate gene association study design was used to analyze the association between MTHFR gene polymorphism and END risk. The polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) method was employed to genotype the MTHFR C677T polymorphism. The interactional analyses were performed using the multifactor dimensionality reduction test., Results: Hyperglycemia (odds ratio [OR]: 2.410, 95 % confidence interval [CI]: 1.436-4.046, p = 0.001), neurological function impairment (NIHSS score >5) (OR: 2.158, 95%CI: 1.337-3.484, p = 0.002) on admission, and hyperhomocysteinemia (HHcy) (OR: 2.570, 95%CI: 1.229-5.376, p = 0.012) were independently associated with END. The TT genotype (OR: 1.710, 95%CI: 1.021-2.863, p = 0.043) and T allele (OR: 1.710, 95%CI: 1.021-2.863, p = 0.043) of this C677T polymorphism were associated with susceptibility to END, and the TT genotype was more common in the subjects with HHcy (OR: 2.525, 95%CI: 1.111-5.739, P = 0.023). In addition, we also found interactions for END risk between the C677T polymorphism and traditional risk factors for END, including: hyperglycemia on admission, drinking, and moderate to severe neurological deficits (OR 1.237, 95 % CI 0.227-6.734), although the results were not statistically significant (p = 0.806)., Conclusions: Our results show a possible association between MTHFR C677T polymorphism and gene-environment interactions with END susceptibility in a Han Chinese cohort., Competing Interests: The authors declare that they have no known competing financial interests or personal relationships that could have appeared to influence the work reported in this paper., (© 2024 The Authors.)

TREE graphs , *GRAPH connectivity , *SPANNING trees , *OPEN-ended questions - Abstract
We show that every connected graph can be approximated by a normal tree, up to some arbitrarily small error phrased in terms of neighbourhoods around its ends. The existence of such approximate normal trees has consequences of both combinatorial and topological nature. On the combinatorial side, we show that a graph has a normal spanning tree as soon as it has normal spanning trees locally at each end; i.e., the only obstruction for a graph to having a normal spanning tree is an end for which none of its neighbourhoods has a normal spanning tree. On the topological side, we show that the end space Ω (G) , as well as the spaces | G | = G ∪ Ω (G) naturally associated with a graph G , are always paracompact. This gives unified and short proofs for a number of results by Diestel, Sprüssel and Polat, and answers an open question about metrizability of end spaces by Polat. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The holy verse: “He is not questioned about what He does, but they shall be questioned”, is one of the Quran’s verses that have been discussed by religious scholars. The most significant question regarding this verse is about the reason, God is not questioned. Considering some views concerning explaining this verse, shows different mystical, philosophical, and theological foundations for answering it. Some theologians believe that negating the question of God is referred to as negating the necessity or not acting by God. In some others meantime believing in the necessity of some acts upon God, relying on the divine act on wisdom is the reason for negating questioning God. Some philosophers argue that the negating question of God is led to negating the finality of divine acts. Mystics try to explain it by relying on divine mystery, knowledge, and proof. This paper by emphasizing some thinkers’ thoughts tries to argue that Mulla Sadra’s view is more justified, then tries to reread the verse in relevance with before and after verses

TIME - Abstract
Rendering אחרית not as “end,” but as “that which comes after,” has the advantage that all shades of meaning are kept open, with the effect that every reader of the Hebrew text of Ben Sira is able to make up her/his mind about which meaning should fit: “the near future,” “the distant future,” “the end of one’s life,” “posterity/descendants,” “finally,” or even “consequence.” [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

49. Support given by health professionals before and after a patient's death to relatives involved in general palliative care at home in Sweden : Findings from the Swedish Register of Palliative Care
- Abstract
Objectives. General palliative care (PC) is provided more at home, leading to increased involvement of relatives. Although support for relatives is a fundamental component of PC, there are deficiencies in the support provided to relatives when general PC is provided at home. This study aimed to describe the support provided by health professionals before and after a patient's death to relatives involved in general PC at home. Methods. A cross-sectional register study was implemented, with data from the Swedish Register of Palliative care. The sample consisted of 160 completed surveys from relatives who had been involved in general PC at home, with 160 related surveys answered by health professionals. Only the questions about support to relatives were used from the surveys. Results. The findings showed that although many relatives appear to receive support in general PC at home, not all relatives receive optimal support before or after a patient's death. The findings also indicated differences in whether relatives received some support before and after a patient's death depending on the type of relative. There were also differences in responses between health professionals and relatives regarding if relatives received counseling from a doctor about whether the patient was dying. Significance of results. There is potential for improvements regarding support for relatives, especially after a patient's death, which has been confirmed in previous studies. The differences in whether relatives received support before and after a patient's death depending on the type of relative highlight the need for future research on how to support different types of relatives before and after a patient's death when general PC is provided at home.
