Daily high-fat diet (HFD) intake is generally associated with an increased risk of metabolic diseases, cancer, and neurological disorders, which represent a major global health burden with significant social and economic consequences. In the present study, mice were treated with HFD containing 40% lipids. Furthermore, HFD was supplemented with 0.5% or 1.0% acylated sterol-β-glucoside (ASG). After 55 days of rearing, body weight, epididymal fat weight, weight, and pH of cecum contents and intestinal microflora were compared with mice fed HFD or a low-fat diet (LFD) containing lipid at 7%. The results showed that body weight and epididymis fat weight on the last day of feeding were significantly higher in HFD, 0.5% ASG, and 1.0% ASG compared to LFD, but significantly lower in 0.5% ASG and 1.0% ASG compared to HFD. Cecum content weight was lower with HFD compared to LFD but increased to LFD levels with the addition of ASG. Cecum pH was significantly lower on the 1.0% ASG compared to the other groups. The gut microbiota was significantly elevated in the HFD compared to the LFD, with Bacilliota specific to obese mice. However, the addition of ASG to the HFD decreased the Bacilliota and increased the Bacteroidota. Clostridium cluster XI and Clostridium subcluster XIVa, intestinal bacteria involved in the production of carcinogenic secondary bile acids, were markedly increased by consumption of the HFD but were markedly decreased by ASG. Daily intake of ASG may inhibit the deterioration of gut bacteria caused by HFD and reduce the disease risk posed by HFD.

Published: July 2023

Learning progressions describe how students can explain a concept at successive levels of increasing sophistication based on coherent ideas, instruction, and prior experiences. Most of the research on learning progressions begins with the development of the construct map, and this study will explore the processes for its development. The study presents how different levels of sophistication of students’ explanations for the propagation of sound in the air can be described. 126 students from 7th to 12th grade participated in this study, which focused on describing students’ explanations for the propagation of sound in the air at different levels of sophistication. An open-ended question test and a semi-structured interview seeking to capture evidence of the different levels of explanation for the propagation of sound in the air were conducted. The consistency between the preliminary construct map with evidence from tests and interviews was checked. The data displayed consonance between the construct map and the explanations provided by the students. Through the concrete evidence of how students explain this phenomenon, it has been possible to describe the levels of the construct map. This has enabled the presentation of a tool to support teachers in developing strategies and practices in learning progressions approach. For future studies in learning progressions, seek to find evidence of the paths taken by students to attain more sophisticated explanations.

Authors: Yiğit Koyunkaya Melike , Boz-Yaman Burcak
Published: July 2023

This study aims to examine the changes in students’ mental constructions of function transformation based on the designed activities, classroom discussions, exercises (ACE) teaching cycle in the light of the action, process, object, schema (APOS) theoretical framework. The study was conducted by seven volunteer students who were enrolled in mathematics teacher education program. The data consisted of video records of the designed teaching sessions, students’ worksheets and the researcher’s field notes. The results indicated that ACE teaching cycle was effective in developing students’ mental constructions of function transformation through sequential activities. Even though all the students initially did not reveal evidence for sufficient theoretical or practical knowledge on function transformation, which was evidence of their action level, through the process, it became evident that all the students provided evidence regarding at least their process level of function transformations. Some of the students also showed evidence related to their object levels of function transformations.
Macroeconomic, Energy and Emission Effects of Solar PV Deployment at Utility and Distributed Scales in Saudi Arabia
Authors: Elshurafa Amro , Hasanov Fakhri , Hunt Lester C.
Published: July 2023

This study assesses the macroeconomic, energy and emissions impacts of solar photovoltaic (PV) deployment in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia for the period 2021–2030. This is accomplished by linking an energy and environmental sector augmented macroeconometric model with a power model and a distributed generation model. Furthermore, this study distinguishes between the macroeconomic, energy and emissions impacts of PV deployment at the utility and distributed generation scales. To the best of our knowledge, these two aspects make this work novel. We analyze three scenarios: (i) fully government-funded utility-scale PV deployment, (ii) half-government-funded utility-scale PV deployment and (iii) household-funded distributed-generation-scale PV deployment, with some government support alongside a business-as-usual (BaU) scenario.
Modeling and Projecting Regional Electricity Demand for Saudi Arabia
Authors: Mikayilov Jeyhun , Darandary Abdulelah
Published: July 2023

This paper utilizes a structural time series approach to model Saudi Arabia’s regional electricity demand, capturing undetected forces of variability in the data-generating process that include improvements in technology, energy-saving behavior, and other underlying trends that are excluded under conventional estimation methods. National models of aggregate electricity consumption might not be representative, as electricity prices are administered regionally and Saudi Arabia’s regions have unique social and economic characteristics. We find evidence that the regions have unique responses to prices and income levels with regard to electricity demand. Additionally, we use our estimated model to project the regional baseline demand for electricity for Saudi Arabia and create a scenario to demonstrate how a price increase would impact these regions differently. This information is valuable for policymakers in Saudi Arabia, as the fuel mix to generate electricity differs between regions. Our baseline electricity demand projections indicate that under the assumptions of moderate economic growth and no price changes, total electricity demand in Saudi Arabia will reach 366 TWh by 2030.
Achushana (sucking of blood): An emergency management of snakebite
Authors: Dilip Kr. Goswami
Published: July 2023

Snakebite has been considered as a burning and difficult situation not only for the affected individuals but also for the doctors. An individual, seeing the snake feels terrified. When there is bite by a snake one feels that the life is in danger now and death is unavoidable. This is, as evidence say, the main cause of death due to snakebite. So a patient with snakebite when comes to the physician shows the serious signs and symptoms and the physician also faces dilemma in diagnosis which is the prime important factor to become success. A patient of snakebite commonly visits the physician with a huge number of attendants with anxiety, fear and lots of questions. This makes the situation more confusing and even the physician has to take tension. Ayurveda is unanimously agreed to be the most ancient health science dealing with almost all unwanted states of health (disease). The great scholars and founders of Ayurveda, along with the medical and surgical disease conditions, also discuss poisoning with priority. Among all the poisonings snakebite is considered to be potent one which need prompt action of the physician in absence of which the life of the patient may be lost. The Ayurvedic scholars Charaka, Susruta and Bagbhata very nicely describe the seriousness of snakebite (SARPADANGSA) and advice to take step to prevent the spread of the bisha by following a number of procedures. Out of all one procedure is (ACHUSHANA) which is said to apply with the aim to expel out the poison contaminated blood by applying sucking. This procedure is not supported by the modern Toxicologists. Hence, a discussion on the topic is seemed to have importance. Hope this discussion will be able to convey information not only to the Ayurvedic fraternity but also to the Modern field with a message to re-evaluate the concept in modern scientific character.

Published: July 2023

Santalol means oil of white sandalwood (Santalum album L.) which is most valuable and importantfor different medicinal and cosmetic uses. The quality of this santalol is very much dependent on soil factor as well as climatic factor which is called edhapic factors as a whole. The concept of most of the people is sandalwood plant doesn’t grow in any atmospheric conditions and cannot produce quality sandalwood oil. Keeping all these views in mind we have undertaken a venture of producing sandalwood plants in different locations prevailing varied edaphic factors. A uniform agro-measure and techniques were provided for the proper growth and development in for all the plants in all locations. After attaining its heartwood maturity, we collected the heartwood samples from each location and estimated the santalol following standard distillation method. The aims and object of this experiment were to study the growth index i.e., quantitative assessment and determining the percentage of santalol present in the heartwood for its qualitative assessment. All these peculiarities and the recorded data have been put forth in this paper for a clear explanation.

Published: July 2023

This study made use of a correlational mixed-method design. It aimed to determine the level of barriers to science learning experienced by learners and its relationship to their science academic performance. The learners under study are those residing abroad or outside the city where the school is located and chose to remain in the online learning modality despite the implementation of limited-onsite and full-onsite learning modalities. A quantitative and a qualitative phase make up the study. The quantitative phase utilized data from 16 respondents that met the criteria set by the researcher. It reports that the level of barriers to learning science experienced by the learners ranges from a mean score of 1.50 (very low) to 2.88 (moderate) with an average of 2.08 (low). It is also apparent that the most significant barrier the learners experience is linked to time and support for studies (TSS) and academic skills (AS). Additionally, based on the results, the Pearson correlation coefficient is -.517, and the p-value is .040 with alpha 0.05. This data shows there is a significant relationship between the barriers to science learning experienced by learners online and their science academic performance. Hence, as the barriers to science learning experienced by learners online increase, their science academic performance decreases and vice versa. The qualitative phase utilized FGD and revealed the same results, supporting the quantitative results.

Authors: Derek Oh  , Athena Dhaliwal  , Blerina Asllanaj  , Farzad Majidi
Published: July 2023

Progressively worsening dyspnea as an initial manifestation of an intermediate high-risk pulmonary embolism (PE) is a readily reported life-threatening cardiac emergency. Atypical presentation of PE may make the initial diagnosis challenging and is often the reason it is missed by clinicians. A 60-year-old woman with asymptomatic bradycardia presented with shortness of breath and dizziness. On examination, she was noted to have a heart rate of 40 beats per minute (bpm) which slightly improved to 55 bpm after intravenous (IV) fluids were administered. A transthoracic echocardiogram (TTE) showed evidence of severe right ventricular strain. Chest computed tomography angiogram (CTA) confirmed PE. After percutaneous aspiration thrombectomy, she was transitioned to direct oral anticoagulant (DOAC) from a heparin infusion and discharged on oral anticoagulation. Notably, her hospital course was marked by labile cycles between normotension and hypertension, with blood pressures exceeding 200/100 mmHg. The possibility that hypertensive states may prevent hemodynamic deterioration and a resulting high-risk pulmonary embolism is considered in patients presenting with multiple risk factors for thromboembolism.

Authors: Kusuma Andina Rizkia Putri
Published: July 2023

Background: Pulp capping is a treatment that utilizes medications to preserve pulp vitality. Ca(OH)2, mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA), and biodentine are presently the most common pulp capping medications. As pulp capping materials, Ca(OH)2 and MTA are known to have several weaknesses. Biodentine has been created in an effort to mitigate the drawbacks of Ca(OH)2 and MTA. Thus, the purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy of three pulp capping medications in reducing inflammation and accelerating pulp regeneration.
Methods: Total 48 male Wistar rats, that were divided into 4 groups, namely 1st control group, 2nd MTA group, 3rd biodentine group, and 4th Ca(OH)2 group. Maxillary 1st molar teeth of rats were prepared using round bur no. 080 perpendicular to the tooth axis to a depth of 1mm, until a reddish color appeared on the pulp. Furthermore, pulp capping medicament was applied to the deepest points, and temporary fillings were made with Zn2(PO4)3. Decapitation was carried out on days 4 and 7 to count the number of neutrophil cells, macrophages, odontoblast-like cells, and fibroblasts. Data were analyzed using One-way ANOVA (p

Published: July 2023

Background: Taste has an important role in human life because of the sense of taste, humans have an ability to taste various flavors of food. Decreased taste sensitivity can affect the quality of life and cause a person to consume excessive taste substances. One of the factors associated with decreased taste sensitivity is smoking. Currently, a new type of cigarette (electric cigarette or e-cigarette) is being developed which is favorable to young people because it has a different content, shape, and taste compared to conventional cigarettes. E-cigarettes are considered safer because aerosol does not contain the tobacco content of conventional cigarettes and is an alternative to smoking cessation programs. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the difference in taste sensitivity between conventional smokers and e-smokers.
Method: This research is an analytical observational study using a cross-sectional design. The research subjects were conventional and electric smokers who were students of Universitas Muhammadiyah Yogyakarta. The research subjects were obtained by purposive sampling, a total of 32 people who had met the inclusion criteria. Data analysis used frequency tables for univariate data and an-independent sample T-test for bivariate data.
Result: The results of the bivariate analysis showed a significant value between conventional and electric smokers with p = 0.036 (< 0.05) for sweet, salty, and sour tastes, while for bitter tastes p = 0.031 (< 0.05).
Conclusion: Taste sensitivity in conventional smokers is less sensitive than in electric smokers. Sensitivity to bitter tastes in both treatment groups is less sensitive than sweet, salty, and sour tastes.

Published: July 2023

O presente trabalho apresenta como problema de pesquisa quais perspectivas teóricas justificam métodos de análise aplicados aos atuais dilemas desenvolvidos no âmbito da bioética ao biodireito, para soluções de dilemas e conflitos originados dos “novos direitos”, a partir do avanço científico e tecnológico. Novos conflitos surgem em razão da complexidade das situações relacionadas a questões até então não discutidas, requerendo diálogo entre a microética e a macroética. Objetiva-se verificar algumas das balizas interpretativas e dirigidas à tomada de decisões oriundas do discurso filosófico da microética e da macroética aplicáveis à temática, buscando garantir a plenitude e efetividade da dignidade humana. A metodologia utilizada partiu de uma pesquisa teórica de abordagem qualitativa, a partir de levantamento bibliogrático-documental e aplicação da lógica predominantemente dedutiva. Por tratar de novos direitos, tais situações apresentam legislação ainda frágil, sendo que, pelo fato de serem temas vinculados à dignidade da pessoa humana, não basta a mera aplicação da lei vigente, devendo existir uma forte base ética e filosófica antes da tomada de decisão, para que sejam fornecidas, aos casos concretos, soluções adequadas e respaldadas nos direitos humanos, concluindo ser possível a aplicação de métodos clínicos de análise de dilemas éticos na esfera jurídica.

Published: July 2023

Este artigo objetiva verificar qual a configuração jurídica do direito ao esquecimento, se trata-se de um direito fundamental implícito ao direito à privacidade ou de um mero resultado da ponderação entre direitos fundamentais, especialmente entre a liberdade de expressão e os direitos de personalidade. Para tanto, buscou-se verificar o entendimento adotado pela doutrina e pela jurisprudência do STJ e STF e de tribunais estrangeiros. O método de abordagem utilizado é o hipotético-dedutivo, partindo-se das duas hipóteses elencadas na configuração jurídica do direito objeto de estudo, bem como o método qualitativo, pois buscou-se analisar várias decisões nas instâncias extraordinárias sobre esse assunto. O trabalho se justifica pela contumaz discussão do assunto no ordenamento jurídico brasileiro que ganha maior dimensão com a denominada sociedade da informação, onde assuntos cometidos em tempos remotos, destituídos de qualquer relevância, atinentes exclusivamente à esfera privada, são propagados reiteradamente no presente.

A Swedish Adaptation of the Belief in Genetic Determinism Scale: Validity, Reliability, and Item Reduction
Authors: Morin-Chassé Alexandre
Published: July 2023

Many studies fielded worldwide have used the Belief in Genetic Determinism (BGD) scale, or shorter versions, to measure a latent dimension called genetic essentialism. This paper presents a Swedish adaptation of this scale, offers validity and reliability assessments, and examines if item reduction affects quality indicators. Approximately 8,000 adult Swedish respondents completed the scale in an online three-wave survey. Results reveal high internal consistency in the full sample and among sociodemographic subgroups, high test-retest reliability, and consistent relationships with related variables. Additionally, the item-reduction procedure suggests that investigators could measure genetic essentialism using shorter versions of the BGD scale without significantly impacting validity and reliability indicators. Future works should evaluate the generalisability of this original finding. Meanwhile, this paper offers evidence that a Swedish translation of the BGD scale is a reliable and valid instrument for assessing genetic essentialism among Swedish-speaking participants.

Introduction: Surgical Site Infection (SSI) have always been a major complication of surgery. It results from microbialinfection during or after the surgical procedure. According to CDC, SSI can be classified as superficial,deep and organ/ space. It increases morbidity and also increases cost to the patient and healthcare system. The aim of this study is to determine the factors responsible for surgical site infection following emergency non- traumatic abdominal surgery.
Materials and Methods: This prospective study was carried out in Department of Surgery of National Medical College and Teaching Hospital. A total of 90 patients were included in this study. Data analysis was done using SPSS (Statistical Package for social sciences), version 26.
Results: Mean age of the study population was 42.74 years. The majority of the subjects were in the age group of 31-40 years. Most of the patients were males (68.8%). The commonest pathology for undertaking operation was Perforated Duodenal ulcer (42.2%).Preoperative serum albumin level, Smoking, comorbidity like COPD, Hypertension, DM, BMI showed statistical relation to surgical site infection.
Conclusion: Numerous host factors like malnutrition, obesity, co-morbidity, type of wounds, time of presentation, personal habit contribute to increased incidence of SSI.

Introduction: Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is an age dependent disorder characterized by hyperplasic changes in the tissue resulting in enlargement of the prostate that may lead to difficultly in micturition or impairment in the flow of urine from the bladder. Medical treatment is the primary option for the patient with mild to moderate voiding symptoms which consists of alpha blockers and 5-alpha reductase inhibitors either as mono-therapy or in combination therapy.
Materials and Methods: A observational cross-sectional study was conducted in a teaching hospital. Total sixty-four patients were selected from hospital records. Group-A received Alpha blocker along with Dutasteride while group-B received Alpha blockers only as a primary medical treatment two weeks prior to transurethral resection of prostate for benign prostatic hyperplasia. Patients were followed up after 24 hours of surgery in which hematocrit levels were estimated. Blood loss was calculated by recording pre-operative and post-operative (after 24 hours) hematocrit level. Data were tabulated and analyzed by SPSS v25. Comparison of two groups’ Group A Alpha-blocker with Dutasteride and Group B with Alpha-blocker only was done by applying independent sample t-test. A p-value ≤0.05 was taken as significant.
Results: A total of 64 patients were enrolled for this study. Patients were divided into two groups i.e. Group-A (TURP with Alpha-blocker &Dutasteride) and Group-B (TURP with Alpha-blocker). Mean age of group-A patients was 66.4±7.5 years and 66.5±7.2 years in group-B. Mean blood loss of group-A patients was 158.3±131.1 ml and 311.5±150.7 ml in group-B with a p-value of 0.000054, which is statistically significant.
Conclusion: Patients on Dutasteride have less perioperative bleeding during transurethral resection of prostate for benign prostatic hyperplasia.

Introduction: Root canal treatment (RCT) for permanent teeth involves the use of biologically acceptable chemical and mechanical treatment of the root canal system to promote healing and repair of the peri radicular tissues. The aim of the study was to analyze the reasons and pattern of demand for root canal treatment among patients attending a tertiary care center of Madhesh Province, Nepal.

Materials and Methods: This was a descriptive cross-sectional study of patients who received root canal treatment in the Department of Conservative Dentistry and Endodontics, National Medical College, Birgunj, Nepal between September 2022 and February 2023.The demographic and clinical data of patients were recorded and statistical analysis was performed using SPSS version 24. Association between the variables was analyzed by Fischer exact tests. P-value<0.05 was considered as statistically significant.

Results: 206 patients who received root canal treatment participated in this study. More mandibular teeth (53.9%) were root-treated compared to maxillary teeth (46.1%). The first molars constituted the most prevalent root-treated teeth (43.7%), followed by the second molars (26.7%) and the central incisors (10.7%). The most common chief complaint was pain (66%) and caries (75.7%) was the most frequently encountered pathology. The association of age category and dental arch with the type of root-treated teeth was statistically significant (p < 0.001 and p <0.004 respectively).

Conclusion: Irreversible pulpitis caused by caries was the predominant indication for root canal treatment, with pain being the most common presenting complaint. The demand for treatment was higher in females and among patients within 21-40 years age category. More teeth from the mandibular arch were root-treated while the first molar was the most frequently treated tooth.
