Applications of Lifestyle Medicine in the Management of Hidradenitis Suppurativa: A Literature Review
Authors: Ebwil Sourianne Okwo
Published: April 2023

Introduction: Hidradenitis Suppurativa (HS) is an inflammatory skin condition characterized by the formation of pus-discharging abscesses under the skin in axillary, inguinal, gluteal, and perianal body sites. Modifiable risk factors such as obesity and smoking have been associated with exacerbation of HS severity. Despite this, research on the clinical application of lifestyle medicine for the improvement of HS symptoms remains scarce. The goal of this review was to evaluate benefits of lifestyle medicine in improving HS symptoms. Methods: A total of 8 articles that examined the associations of smoking cessation, diet modification and weight-loss with HS improvement were investigated. These publications came from cohort studies and intervention trials and were appraised using the Critical Appraisal Skills Programme checklist. Results: HS patients following a brewer’s yeast free diet reported significant decrease in HS abscesses and a severe immune reaction to the substance. The Paleolithic and Anti-Inflammatory diet alongside the reduction of foods high in carbohydrates, sugars, and dairy were also associated with improved HS symptoms. Zinc gluconate supplementation demonstrated improved inflammatory nodules and decreased boil count in patients. No correlation between HS and weight-loss or smoking cessation were observed. Discussion: Based on the results, eating patterns resembling the Paleolithic and Anti-Inflammatory diets may lower levels of systemic inflammation in HS patients by reducing the production of TNF- α cytokines present in HS lesions. Increased levels of antioxidants paired with fewer levels of pro-oxidant properties present in both diets are suggested to help improve the course of the disease in some patients. Conclusion: Further intervention trials and cohort studies must be conducted investigating the effects of smoking cessation, weight-loss and diet in HS severity to determine the integration of lifestyle medicine pillars in clinical practice. No correlations between smoking cessation and weight-loss with HS were established due to limited clinical evidence. Intervention trials beyond exclusionary diets need to be conducted to elucidate the role of nutrition in HS exacerbation and alleviation.

Empowerment is a development process where the community takes the initiative to start a process of social activities to improve their own situation and condition. There is a decrease in religious fervor in adolescents. The triggers are the low enthusiasm of adolescents to participate in religious activities and the lack of motivation from their parents, only about 25 teenagers become members with active membership status in a religious activity. The low understanding of adolescents about the importance of religious activities is a basic factor in the emergence of problems. Furthermore, the apathy of society towards adolescent problems is also a problem factor. To unravel these problems, it is necessary to empower youth in a structured manner. So we participated in carrying out several activities to empower youth through personal and community approaches, meet and great as well as training activities for the art skills of the al banjari sholawat. As a result, the youth of Kintelan village are more enthusiastic in carrying out religious activities, especially the al-banjari prayer.

La producción de carne bovina y su abastecimiento a la población se ha convertido en un reto para los productores. De ahí la importancia de incrementar la productividad de los animales que a su vez depende de la productividad de los pastos. La búsqueda de alternativas para mitigar este déficit se puede encontrar en la suplementación. La pollinaza se presenta como una fuente de nitrógeno no proteico en la alimentación de bovinos. La investigación se desarrolló en las instalaciones de la Granja Experimental Río Suma, Universidad Laica “Eloy Alfaro” de Manabí, extensión en El Carmen. Se estableció un diseño de Bloques completamente al azar (D.B.C.A.), con cuatro tratamientos y cuatro repeticiones. Los tratamientos fueron diferentes dosis de pollinaza como suplemento alimenticio en toros de engorde. Este trabajo se propone evaluar el efecto de la pollinaza como nitrógeno no proteico en la ganancia de peso en toros de engorde. Los animales fueron suplementados con 0,5; 1,0 y 1,5 kg de pollinaza, se determinó el valor nutricional de la pollinaza, la ganancia de peso y la relación costo-beneficio La ganancia de peso fue mejor cuando se suplementaron los toretes con 1,5 kg de pollinaza con 31,97 kg en un período de 60 días, siendo estadísticamente superior a los demás tratamientos evaluados.

Published: April 2023

Introduction. Chronic constipation is one of the most actual problems in modern coloproctology and found in 14-16% of developed countries population. The causes of chronic constipation vary widely from functional to organic. The latter include dolichocolon, different variants of which occur in 16% cases.

Aim. To give a morphological and quantitative characteristic of the decompensated stage of dolichocolon based on the morphogenesis of changes in comparison with the histologically normal colon.

Material and Methods. Colon tissue samples from 16 people were used and divided into two groups. The first, control group, included 8 sectional cases of a morphologically normal colon wall. The second, the study group, was represented by surgical material from 8 patients with dolichocolon decompensated stage. Observation groups were comparable by sex and age.

Results. In average, in patients with the decompensated dolichocolon stage, in comparison with the control group, statistically significantly (p ˂ 0.05), the thickness of the mucous and muscular membranes decreases by 1.07 and 2.26 times, respectively. The thickness of the submucosa increases by 1.17 times. However, the maximum and minimum values of this parameter change only by 1.35 times, while in the control group – by 7.21 times, as a consequence of the development of insufficiency of the evacuation-motor function of the colon which indicates the maximum smoothness of the colon wall, and is a consequence of its functional insufficiency. The specific proportion of neuro plexuses in the muscular membrane is 1.45 times higher than in the control group. However, the number of nerve cells decreases by 2.98 times, as a result of the development of insufficiency in the evacuation-motor function of the colon. The average area of lymphatic follicles decreases by 1.49 times, and secondary follicles disappear altogether, meaning the depletion of the compensatory-adaptive reactions of the lymphoid apparatus.

Conclusion. Morphological and morphometric signs of irreversible changes, such as dystrophy, atrophy and sclerosis of all structural elements of the thick wall in the stage of decompensated dolichocolon, suggest surgical treatment, as well as prevention of the development of decompensation of the general condition of patients.

Published: April 2023

Over time, higher demand for data speed and quality of service by an increasing number of mobile network subscribers has been the major challenge in the telecommunication industry. This challenge is the result of an increasing population of human race and the continuous advancement in mobile communication industry, which has led to network traffic congestion. In an effort to solve this problem, the telecommunication companies released the Fourth Generation Long Term Evolution (4G LTE) network and afterwards the Fifth Generation Long Term Evolution (5G LTE) network that laid claims to have addressed the problem. However, machine learning techniques, which are very effective in prediction, have proven to be capable of great importance in the extraction and processing of information from the subscriber’s perceptions about the network. The objective of this work is to use machine learning models to predict the existence of traffic congestion in LTE networks as users perceived it. The dataset used for this study was gathered from some students over a period of two months using Google form and thereafter, analysed using the Anaconda machine learning platform. This work compares the results obtained from the four machine learning techniques employed that are k-Nearest Neighbour, Support Vector Machine, Decision Tree and Logistic Regression. The performance evaluation of the ML techniques was done using standard metrics to ascertain the real existence of congestion. The result shows that k-Nearest Neighbour outperforms all other techniques in predicting the existence of traffic congestion. This study therefore has shown that the majority of LTE network users experience traffic congestion.
Crucial, But Not Systematically Investigated: Rock Glaciers, the Concealed Water Reservoirs of the Himalayas: An Opinion
Authors: Ali Sheikh Nawaz , Pandey Pratima
Published: April 2023

The current article is an opinion on the sensitivity of high mountain regions which are the most fragile, sensitive and vulnerable to ongoing climate change. Its impacts are especially severe on the high mountain communities owing to their weak socio-economic profile, limited livelihood resources and agricultural land. The melting of glaciers and changes in the snow cover under the climate change scenario is leading to the scarcity of freshwater supplies, affecting both local and downstream communities. Changes in the precipitation patterns have been suggested to cause droughts, impact restricted agriculture, and limit the availability of water for domestic use. Additionally, the high mountain areas contain distinct flora and fauna, and climate change is not just altering them, but also has resulted in biodiversity loss as species are unable to adapt to the changing climate. Because of its higher altitudes and semi-arid to arid climate, the consequences of climate change are more evident in the higher Himalayas. Climate change is affecting the availability of key resources, such as freshwater and agriculture and pasture lands, resulting in food and water insecurity and their reliance on imports from other regions. As a result, high mountain communities in the Himalayas are progressively shifting to higher glacier valleys in search of suitable cultivable land with adequate irrigation. People are engaging in agro-pastoral activities around thermokarst lakes (Oasis) atop rock glaciers as part of this endeavour. Such actions underscore the crucial role of rock glaciers in dealing with and adjusting to the consequences of climate change. Despite its relevance, rock glacier research in the Himalayan region is still in its infancy. The purpose of this work is to emphasise the significance of these major climate-resilient water resources, as well as the methodology that must be adopted for their systematic and compressive investigations.

Published: April 2023

Plasma cell leukaemia is an extremely rare haematological malignancy with a poor prognosis. It is defined by the presence in the circulating blood of a number of plasma cells greater than 2 giga/L or greater than 20% of the leukocytes. It presents in two forms: secondary plasma cell leukaemia complicating a known multiple myeloma, and primary plasma cell leukaemia, which is leukaemic in origin. We report the observation of a 52-year-old Moroccan patient who presented with bone pain and general deterioration 3 months before hospitalisation. The haemogram revealed normocytic normochromic anaemia at 8.1 g/dL and hyperleukocytosis. The blood smear showed the presence of 38% of plasma cells. The myelogram confirmed the diagnosis of APL by showing a rich marrow with 63% dystrophic plasma cells. In this case, we emphasise the importance of careful cytological examination of the blood smear.

Tradições de conhecimento
Authors: Estumano Evanildo Moraes , Bittencourt da Silva José , Furtado Lourdes de Fátima Gonçalves
Published: April 2023

Este ensaio parte de estudos que investigaram modos de vida e pensamentos comuns produzidos por habitantes de comunidades de áreas rurais. Para a reflexão proposta problematiza-se os critérios de categorização das populações rurais enquanto populações tradicionais, objetivando discutir a noção de conhecimento tradicional e sua associação à semelhante noção de população tradicional. Metodologicamente utilizou-se referenciais teóricos a fim de conformar uma noção de conhecimento social que tenha por base a experiência humana enquanto meio expressivo de comunicação. Conclui-se pela dificuldade de conceituar o objeto de investigação “conhecimento tradicional” associado a grupos sociais específicos que seriam seus produtores, as denominadas populações tradicionais. E aponta-se para uma inflexão na noção de tradição voltada à ideia de produção contemporânea de significados por meio de uso de símbolos, isto, como sistema fundamental de compreensão da vida para seus usuários.
Lung lesion in a patient with systemic lupus erythematosus
Authors: Pravkina E. A. , Baranova A. S. , Filonenko S. P. , Molchanov S. A.
Published: April 2023

Systemic lupus erythematosus is a chronic rheumatic autoimmune disease characterized by polysystemic lesions and a variety of clinical manifestations. This disease often aff ects the respiratory system, represented mainly by pleurisy or pulmonary hypertension. However, this publication describes a clinical case in which lung damage in a patient who has had systemic lupus erythematosus for over than 25 years, manifested itself as interstitial lung disease (ILD), which is more typical for other rheumatic diseases, such as  diff use scleroderma, Sjogren disease. ILD manifested with an atypically bright clinical picture, progressed and required the prescription of genetically engineered biological drugs. Their use was complicated by recurrent urinary tract infection, and therefore these drugs were withheld. A peculiar feature of ILD is its blurred clinical picture, which causes additional diffi  culties in diff erential diagnosis, especially during the period of widespread new coronavirus infection, taking into account similar clinical manifestations and changes detected by computed tomography of the lungs, so it leads to a late start of pathogenetic therapy. In this regard, the episode of recrudescence of the patient’s condition manifested by a clinical picture and a pattern of changes on a CT scan, similar to both progressive IPL and pneumonia associated with a new coronavirus infection, which complicated diff erential diagnosis and management tactics, deserves special attention.

Entre los aspectos verbales, será de particular interés en este volumen el modo en el que se supone se debe gestionar un diálogo (si se puede interrumpir y, en el caso en que se pueda, cuándo; cuáles son las formalidades o cumplidos; qué valor tienen los silencios) y, para terminar, nos fijaremos en cómo estructurar los textos. Otros aspectos interesantes desde el punto de vista lingüístico son el tono de la voz o la velocidad y, también, algunas elecciones que tenemos que hacer en el momento en el que comunicamos (tratamientos, apelativos, qué argumentos son tabú o como usar – o incluso si usar o no – terminología técnica).
3 • Problemas de comunicación causados por aspectos no verbales
Authors: Caon Fabio
Published: April 2023

La comunicación verbal y no verbal ‘cooperan’ en la construcción de significados, y esta complejidad objetiva, junto con la falta de ‘formación’ respecto a la conciencia del valor de la dimensión no verbal, hace que se corra el riesgo de interpretar los gestos como naturales y no como culturales. Estos errores en la asignación del significado de los gestos pueden causar malentendidos si nos basamos exclusivamente en nuestras proprias categorías interpretativas. Por lo tanto, es necesario, en primer lugar, superar el desconocimiento de estas características de la comunicación. Como en todo el volumen, nos centraremos exclusivamente en las diferencias que pueden generar malentendidos. En el cuestionario se encuentra todo el repertorio de preguntas realizadas y, por tanto, los puntos que no generan problemas de interpretación comunicativa.
Women’s Matters
Informal Diplomacy and Women’s Networks at the Savoy-Carignano Court (Seventeenth Century)
Authors: Lurgo Elisabetta
Published: April 2023

This volume investigates the family affairs of the Savoy-Carignano dynasty, with a special focus on women: they are, in fact, prominent between the seventeenth and the eighteenth centuries, a crucial phase for the family and its territorial governance. The position of the Savoy-Carignano family was extremely delicate and forced them to deal both with Turin and Paris-Versailles, keeping a constant eye on the opportunities offered by the court of Vienna. The strategic balance between different courts, skilfully guided by Marie de Bourbon, Princess of Carignano, is at the heart of this book. Two case studies will be taken into account, in which female figures played a decisive role, mobilising networks of relations and refining negotiation strategies. On the one hand, the controversial wedding of Prince Louis-Thomas, count of Soissons; on the other, the marriage of Prince Emanuel Philibert. The diplomatic incidents triggered by these family affairs forced Mary of Bourbon, the true matriarch of the family, to counterbalance the effects, for the survival of the entire dynastic clan. The letters by the Savoy-Carignano princesses, in the most acute phases of the conflict, outline a sort of resilient epistolary, encouraging us to reflect on the weight of female figures for the consolidation of a patrimony of symbols and privileges, which represented an essential step for a dynasty claiming full territorial sovereignty.

This experimental study investigatedsteel fiber reinforced concrete (SFRC) specimen’s performance by using to X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) test, Flexural Strength test, Compressive Strength test and Rebound Hammer test. The experimental result of the compressive strength test was further analyzed by 3D Analysis using Stat-Ease Design-Expert V13 to correlate the compressive strengths to the elemental composition of the concrete structure. The result showed that the amount of Calcium Oxide (CaO) in the sample was lower than the composition of Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) used. Thirty-six (36) beam samples of 100mm x 100mm x 500mm size and twelve (12) cube samples of 100mm x 100mm x 100m size were prepared with different percentages of steel fiber (0.5%, 1.0% and 1.5%) to determine the optimum dosage. All samples were tested at 7, 14 and 28 days. It can be concluded that the analysis shows a low significant effect at an early aged concrete but showing a slightly increased in compression and flexural strength at a later age. The results also showed that the addition of steel fibercauses the reduction of slump value (workability). Recommended optimum percentage range of steel fiber addition in concrete is proposed. The relation among rebound hammer number, compressive strength and flexural strength of the specimens was also discussed.

Due to global warming, there is an increase in the number of natural disasters occurring around the world. With more disasters happening, post disaster search and rescue personnel are putting their life on the line more often in scouting out the post disaster site and sending in first aid supplies while waiting for rescue vehicles like fire trucks and ambulance to arrive. In Malaysia alone, the use of compact Autonomous Landed Vehicle (ALV) for this purpose is limited. There are many compact ALV that are being developed with microcontrollers and microprocessors such as Arduino and Raspberry Pi as the central control system, but they are fragile and can be damaged easily when used in harsh environments. In addition, multiple microcontrollers and microprocessors are needed for the ALV as parallel processing and limited gates are some of the common problems with microprocessors and microcontrollers. In this paper, a central control system using an FPGA is proposed together with the design of a prototype for the ALV. The ALV consists of three systems: Propulsion System, Sensor System, and Remote-Control System. These systems are integrated together with the Altera DE-115 board as the central control unit of the ALV. Verilog Hardware Description language (Verilog HDL) is used for designing the control system for the ALV. The proposed system is stable, low cost, allows parallel processing and the compact size of the ALV allows smooth manoeuvring through small areas of post disaster sites to scout out the area and send in first aid supplies to the victims.
Російсько-українська війна в інтерпретаціях іранського видання «The Tehran Times»: основні ідеологеми та маніпулятивні прийоми
Authors: Lylo Taras
Published: April 2023

The article analyzes the main ideologemes in the Iranian English-language newspaper The Tehran Times about the Russian-Ukrainian war. Particular attention is paid to such ideologemes as “NATO-created Ukraine war”, “Western racism”, “an average European is a victim of the US policy”. The author claims that the newspaper is a repeater of anti-Ukrainian ideologemes by the Russian propaganda, including such as “coup d’état in Ukraine”, “denazification”, “special military operation”, “conflict in Ukraine”, “genocide in Donbas”, but retranslates them in a specific way: the journalists of The Tehran Times do not often use such ideologemes, but mainly ensure their functioning in the newspaper due to the biased selection of external authors (mainly from the USA), who are carriers of the cognitive curvature. The object of the research is also the manipulative techniques of the newspaper (the appeal to “common sense”, simplification of a complex problem, etc.). Methods of modeling the image of the enemy are also studied (first of all, such an enemy for the Tehran Times is the USA), among which categoricalness occupies a special place (all features of the opponent are interpreted not only at its own discretion, but indisputably; such and only such perception of the opponent is “the ultimate truth”), stereotypes (stereotypes replace the true knowledge), demonization (the opponent is portrayed as the embodiment of absolute, metaphysical evil) and asynchrony (an astronomer’s view, who sees a star as if it was the same all eternity to this point. The dynamics of history is ignored by propagandist). Keywords: ideologeme, manipulative techniques, Russia, racism, propaganda.

The article a study of the standard aspect of vocabulary usage in modern Ukrainian newspaper publications. Based on the analysis of the reference literature, the article examines the cases of conjugation of the noun quantity with the verbs to increase and to grow, as well as to decrease, to lower, to shrink, to fall in the publications of the newspaper «Den’». This newspaper is one of the most popular publications in the rating of national media. There are a lot of doubts about the proper usage of these linguistic expressions in the editorial work. The research is predetermined by the need to establish word meanings (based on the editorial practice), which is not specifically delineated in the reference literature, and to give variants of their proper usage. It is accented that the noun quantity should be used with the verbs to increase/decrease. It is noted that to indicate the amount of someone or something, the word quantity should be written, not a number. The selected examples (about 40 sentence constructions) are given the correct answers. Linguistic literacy of an individual as well as of a society in general and opinion expression depends on the selection of linguistic expressions by journalists, since linguistic mistakes in periodical newspapers, radio or TV tend to spread through the language and are required subconsciously. It is emphasized that the accuracy of word usage depends on the availability, aesthetic impact and effectiveness of newspaper publications. Keywords: incorrect/correct usage, conjugation, dictionaries, editorial practice, newspaper publications.
