Performance of Principal Components Estimation Method on the Quality of Factor Analysis without and with Varimax Rotation
Authors: Camila Rafaela Gomes Dias Camila Rafaela Gomes Dias , Vieira Gomes Juliana , Ribeiro Júnior José Ivo
Published: December 2023

The objective of this work was to evaluate the performance of the principal components estimation method on the quality of estimates of some parameters of exploratory factor analysis (EFA), without and with varimax rotation. To this end, 18 parametric correlation matrices (r) were imposed. These matrices were obtained from combinations between six different values of parametric communalities of four normally distributed random variables with three different proportions of distances between the parametric factorial loadings of the first two orthogonal factors. For each matrix r, the following parameters were defined: the first two eigenvalues (l1 and l2), the matrix of factor loadings (G), the four communalities () and the matrix of the specific factors (Y). After the 36 factor analyses, the respective estimates of these parameters were obtained, and their respective absolute deviations between the estimates obtained a posteriori and the parameters known a priori were evaluated. With the results of the Student's t test at 5% significance applied to the response surface analysis, it was concluded that the principal components estimation method for estimating orthogonal factors was not adequate and the varimax rotation improved relatively little the quality of the SFA estimates.
Dealing with highly kurtotic count data with excess zeroes: comparing different treatments in the control of dairy cattle gastrointestinal parasites
Authors: Roquim Fernanda , Lima Renato , Nakamura Luiz , Ramires Thiago , Blanco Yuly
Published: December 2023

In this paper we provide a flexible statistical framework to compare different treatments, conventional and selective strategical (ST), in the gastrointestinal parasites (G. duodenalis) control of dairy cattle through the count of Giardia cysts. Distributional regression models are considered, allowing the modelling of not only the average of these counts, but also the extra probability that calves do not present any cysts. Our findings show a positive relationship between the count of cysts with the animal body temperature and in animals until the age 150 days (and then, the count decreases). Higher responses are observed during summertime. Animals submitted to the ST present a lower count of cysts than the ones submitted to the conventional option. Further, there is a smaller chance that the sample does not present any cyst during wintertime. Conversely, this chance increases if the animal is submitted to the ST and in the earliest ages. Finally, the probability that no cysts are observed in the sample is roughly constant up to 40 o C and then rapidly increases. Hence, distributional regression models provide a great alternative to explicitly select features to model different aspects (average and extra probability of zero) of the count of Giardia cysts.

One of the talents that students must have to face rapidly developing global problems is generic skills. Therefore, it becomes important to measure generic skills in students. The method used in this study is a systematic literature review using the PRISMA diagram. The database used to search for literature utilized two digital libraries, namely Google Scholar and Scopus. In order to make the selected literature relevant, the search used the keyword "generic skills". Furthermore, screening was carried out to obtain scientific article publications from 2010 to 2023 that discuss generic skills. The results of the search for scientific articles contained thirty articles that would be analyzed and synthesized. The analysis technique used is the narrative method by grouping the extracted data. This study is expected to collect student generic skills measurement instruments.

Published: December 2023

Research in science education has recognized the importance of pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) and its relationship to practical work. Although efforts have been made to characterize this relationship accurately, research in this field still needs to be completed. This article shows an instrument’s design and validation process that aims to determine the perception of PCK elements and their incidence in the design, implementation, and evaluation of practical work in science teachers. The questionnaire was subjected to content validation by a panel of experts and a pilot study to evaluate its internal consistency through Cronbach’s alpha. The construction and validation yielded an instrument of 30 items grouped into five categories: orientations toward science teaching, knowledge of the curriculum, knowledge of assessment, knowledge of students’ understanding of science, and knowledge of instructional strategies. Reliability yielded a Cronbach’s alpha value of 0.881, showing the development of a consistent and reliable instrument.
ARMİN (HERMANN) VÁMBÉRY’NİN TESPİT ETTİĞİ ÖZBEKÇE NAKILLAR ÜZERİNE BİR DEĞERLENDİRME
Authors: TOPRAK Funda
Published: December 2023

Armin Vámbéry’nin 1867 yılında yayınladığı Cágataische Sprachstudien adlı eserinde Özbek Türkçesi Nakılları adı altında 112 nakıl bulunmaktadır. Nakıl sözcüğü Türk lehçelerinde makal/metel/nakıl şeklinde karşılıkları olan ve atasözü için kullanılan bir kavramdır. Atasözleri bir milletin en önemli kültür taşıyıcılarındandır ve dilin en yalın, en özlü kullanımını içerdikleri gibi ait oldukları kültürün de yansıtıcılarıdır. Atasözleri, insan psikolojinin çeşitli durumlara verdiği tepkileri, davranış kalıplarını içerebilir, insanın toplum içindeki yerinin oluşmasında sahip olması gereken değer yargılarını gösterebilir, toplumun bozuk ve aksayan yönlerini eleştirel bir üslûpla ifade edebilirler. Bu yönleriyle atasözleri için tek bir tanım ya da tasniften söz etmek pek mümkün değildir. Vámbéry de tasnif yapmamış, derlediği atasözlerini (nakılları) eserine numaralandırarak almış, birer cümleyle hangi durumlar için söylendiğini belirtmiştir. Bu çalışmada onun derlediği nakıllar, Arap harflerinden Latin harflerine aktarılmış, aktarılan nakılların anlamları verilmiş, hangi durumlar için söylendiği açıklanmaya çalışılmıştır. Ayrıca nakılların çağdaş Özbek Türkçesinde yaşayıp yaşamadığının tespiti konuyla ilgili çalışmalardan taranmıştır. Nakılların Türkiye Türkçesinde de varlığının izi sürülmüş, böylece kültür birliği ve dil ortaklığı temelinin nakıllar üzerinden değerlendirilmesine çalışılmıştır. Nakılların büyük oranda Özbek Türkçesinde yaşadığı tespit edilmekle beraber sadece Vámbéry’nin derlediği, kaynaklarda tanıklanmayan 43 nakıl da onun çalışmasının değerini ve Türkoloji için önemini ortaya koyan bir husus olarak değerlendirilmiştir.
GÜNÜMÜZ AFGANİSTAN ÖZBEK HİKÂYECİLİĞİ ÜZERİNE BİR DEĞERLENDİRME
Authors: ÖZTÜRK Rıdvan
Published: December 2023

Afganistan devletinin 1747 yılında kuruluşuna kadar bu bölge, Türk soyluların kurduğu devletlerin hâkimiyetinde kalmış. Herat, Kabil, Faryab, Gazne gibi şehirler Türk kültürünün önemli merkezleri olmuştur. Hüseyin Baykara, Mevlânâ Lütfî, Ali Şir Nevâyî gibi birçok âlim, yazar, şair ve mütefekkir bölgede Türk diline ve kültürüne büyük katkılarda bulunmuştur. On sekizinci yüzyılın ikinci yarısından sonra değişen siyasi ve sosyal şartlar Türk soyluların dillerini ve kültürlerini olumsuz yönde etkilemiştir. Bugün Özbekistan ve Tacikistan’dan sonra en fazla Özbek Türkünün yaşadığı ülke Afganistan’dır. Afganistan’daki demografik yapı sıhhatli verilerle açıklanmaktan uzak ise de ülke nüfusunun en az %10’luk bir kısmını, bu coğrafyanın kadimî halklarından birisi olan Özbek Türkleri oluşturmaktadır. Afganistan idareleri tarafından yaklaşık iki yüzyılı aşkın bir süredir uygulanan baskıcı resmi politikalar ve engellemeler, Türk dili ve edebiyatının gelişmesine ve yeniliklere ayak uydurmasına büyük ölçüde mâni olmuştur. Özbek Türkleri dil, edebiyat ve kültürlerini klasik usulde medreselerde, mescitlerde veya evlerde sürdürmeye çalışmışlardır. 1980’li yıllardan itibaren elde edilen kısmî serbestlikler ve belli kazanımlar neticesinde basın yayın ve eğitim hayatında bazı olumlu adımların atıldığı görülür. Özbek Türk edebiyatı da modern anlamda hikâye ve roman türünde eserler vermeye başlamıştır. Bu bağlamda Afganistan Özbek hikâyeciliğinin ilk eseri 1983 yılında Faryab gazetesinde yayımlanmıştır. Bu çalışmada Afganistan Özbek hikâyeciliğinin mevcut durumu ve sorunları üzerine bazı tespit ve değerlendirmelerde bulunulacaktır.

Career Women In Achieving Samawa Family In The Post-Truth Era Islamic Legal Perspective
Authors: Syaibani Syaibani
Published: December 2023

Islamic history records that women have a meaningful role in various metamorphosis of society, customs, commerce and politics in the country. Gender balance is a social issue and is often a contentious topic. People assume that gender dimilarity can cause various forms of inequality, such as the unimportance of roles related to political policies, women are only in the three R's, namely kitchen, well, mattress. Injustice was hated by Allah. Almighty, he had put Adam and Eve in a dignified position. Islamic law provides solutions in solving family problems that occur. However, sometimes, existing laws cannot be understood regarding wisdom and philosophy, resulting in the assumption of Islamic law that is no longer representative in resolving Islamic family civil cases. The problems that occur in the post-truth era of women are often blamed for being career women. Even though there are some women who are able to break through thick walls and are able to have a career outside the home. This career did not prevent her from carrying out her duties, rights and obligations as a wife. But there are so many assumptions that by being a woman, family careers are not taken care of and families are not achieved.

Published: December 2023

Divorce is one of kind things that led to break up the marriage relationship. One of these effects is the loss of a husband obligation to support a woman who become his ex-wife. Nevertheless, the obligation to provide for the child who born from the marriage should not to be extended to his dad. This is being weakened in practice, for making of a living rights depends to a large extent on someone’s understanding and ability. This study focuses on two things, namely how the legal reasoning of Syafi'iyyah fiqh in determining the lineage of children resulting from infidelity and how the consequences that will be obtained by children resulting from infidelity related to their rights as a child. The method used in this research is literature study with deductive analysis method. The primary sources in this study are several books of ushul fiqh and books of fiqh mu'tabaroh madzhab syafi'iyyah. The results of this study indicate that in the Syafi'iyyah madzhab, the lineage of children resulting from cheating is not attributed to their biological father, this is based on legal reasoning taken from the hadith about firasy and the implications it gets are the fall of the law and rights related to the child, i.e. both do not inherit each other, the father is not obliged to provide for him, if the child is a girl, then the father is not a mahram for the child and the father cannot be his guardian.

Artikkelissa tarkastellaan nuoriin aikuisiin kohdistuvaa vastuullistamista aikuissosiaalityössä ja kysytään, minkälaisiin yhteiskunnallisiin taustaolettamiin ja ihanteisiin järkeily ja harkinta käytännön tasolla pohjaavat erityisesti vastuullistamisen näkökulmasta. Aineisto on muodostettu haastattelemalla kunnallisen aikuissosiaalityön työntekijöitä, ja aineiston analyysissa on hyödynnetty diskurssianalyysia. Haastattelukerronnassa tuotetaan käsitystä vastuullisista ja vastuullisuuteen opetettavista asiakkaista, mikä istuu rikkonaisesti arjen työhön ja  aiheuttaa ristiriitoja. Haastateltavien kerronnassa voi nähdä vuorottelevan yksilön vastuun ja vastuullistamisen kiistämättömyys ja kontekstit huomioiva harkinta. Työtä ohjaavat yhteiskunnalliset taustaoletukset törmäävät sosiaalityön arjen todellisuuteen: ihmisten tilanteiden ja toimintakyvyn arviointi on jatkuvassa ristiriidassa vallitsevan yksilöllistymistä painottavan ideologian kanssa.

Trata-se de estudo quanti-qualitativo que analisa o retorno das atividades presenciais nos cursos de Odontologia brasileiros, durante a pandemia de COVID-19, e as dificuldades enfrentadas, comparando instituições públicas e privadas. Um formulário on-line com questões abertas e fechadas foi encaminhado por e-mail aos representantes dos cursos de Odontologia, de março a junho de 2021. Foram incluídos os cursos cadastrados no site e-MEC iniciados até 2017. A análise quantitativa utilizou os testes qui-quadrado, exato de Fisher e t de Student (p<0,05); uma questão aberta foi submetida à análise temática de conteúdo. Dos 329 cursos elegíveis, foram respondidos 83 formulários (21 públicos e 62 privados). Os cursos de instituições públicas apresentaram menor frequência de retorno das atividades presenciais até a data da coleta (p=0,038), inclusive com maior proporção de suspensão das atividades clínicas e laboratoriais (p≤0,001), mas sem diferença para aulas teóricas remotas (p>0,05). Os cursos privados demonstraram ter maior disponibilidade de recursos para o retorno presencial, tais como: estrutura, funcionários e docentes (p<0,001).  Apesar das normas de biossegurança constituírem um desafio comum, as principais dificuldades relatadas nas instituições privadas diante do retorno das atividades presenciais foram a modulação ou escalonamento das turmas e ambientes de aula, controle do fluxo de pessoas e implantação de protocolos. Nas públicas, destacam-se dificuldades relacionadas à adequação da estrutura e aquisição de materiais. Conclui-se que a maioria dos cursos de Odontologia havia retomado às aulas no início de 2021, mas as instituições privadas apresentaram maior proporção de retorno às atividades laboratoriais e clínicas presenciais.

Published: December 2023

Researchers have sought for decades to automate holistic essay scoring. Over the years, these programs have improved significantly. However, accuracy requires significant amounts of training on human-scored texts—reducing the expediency and usefulness of such programs for routine uses by teachers across the nation on non-standardized prompts. This study analyzes the output of multiple versions of ChatGPT scoring of secondary student essays from three extant corpora and compares it to quality human ratings. We find that the current iteration of ChatGPT scoring is not statistically significantly different from human scoring, but exact agreement with humans is still difficult. Consistency and agreement within one point, however, is achievable and may be sufficient for low-stakes, formative assessment purposes.
PHOTOMOB: AUTOMATED GIS METHOD FOR ESTIMATION OF FRACTIONAL GRAIN DYNAMICS IN GRAVEL BED RIVERS. PART 1: GRAIN SIZE
Authors: Ville Fanny , Vericat Damià , Batalla Ramon J. , Rennie Colin
Published: December 2023

Particle entrainment intensity is spatially and temporally variable, making it a complex phenomenon to measure. This paper is the first of a pair, in which we present an automated image processing procedure (PhotoMOB) for monitoring the mobility/stability of gravel river beds. The method is based on local comparison of the shape of the grains identified at the same coordinates between successive photos to identify coincident and new grains. For each grain fraction, the proportion of grains that remained immobile and the proportion of grains newly identified in the study area can be calculated. In this part 1 paper, we present only the GIS-based procedure for identifying and characterising grain shapes in digital images of bed patches to derive a reliable surface Grain Size Distribution (GSD), and for subsequent analyses of bed mobility. The procedure is compatible with different forms of sampling (Area-by-Number i.e., AbN, and Grid-by-Number i.e., GbN) and types of measurements (continuous or real measures of the axes and discrete square holes measurements of the axes). The performance of the GIS procedure is evaluated by comparing estimated percentiles against manually delineated grains in ten 40x40cm image samples, as well as against the real bed grain sizes from the same patches measured with a Pebble-Box (continuous axis value) and two samples measured with a template (discrete axis value). Under optimal condition, the average root mean squared error (RMSE) of the manual procedure compared to the real measurement is 8.2% in AbN and 16.3% in GbN, while PhotoMOB performance is similar with RMSE of 9.5% in AbN and 16.6% in GbN. The paper also analyses how the tool performs when compared to discrete procedures such as measurement with templates. We found that in AbN, the under-estimation of the apparent size due to the imbrication effect is of the same order of magnitude as the under-estimation of the grain size measured by template. In GbN form, results emphasize the need of converting grain axis as a function of the average grain flatness for compatibility with discrete measurement, as coarse grains have more weight in the distribution and are often flatter in shape, hence are more often retained in inferior classes than smaller more spherical particles. A sufficiently large and appropriate sample area could reduce all the above mentioned RMSE by a third for AbN and by half in GbN.
3D diffusion of water in melt inclusion-bearing olivine phenocrysts
Authors: Mutch Euan , Newcombe Megan , Rudge John
Published: December 2023

Olivine-hosted melt inclusions are an important archive of pre-eruptive processes such as magma storage, mixing and subsequent ascent through the crust. However, this record can be modified by post entrapment diffusion of H+ through the olivine lattice. Existing studies often use spherical or 1D models to track melt inclusion dehydration that fail to account for complexities in geometry, diffusive anisotropy and sectioning effects. Here we develop a finite element 3D multiphase diffusion model for the dehydration of olivine-hosted melt inclusions that includes natural crystal geometries and multiple melt inclusions. We use our 3D model to test the reliability of simplified analytical and numerical models (1D and 2D) using magma ascent conditions from the 1977 eruption of Seguam volcano, Alaska. We find that 1D models underestimate melt inclusion water loss, typically by 30 %, and thus underestimate magma decompression rates, by up to a factor of 5, when compared to the 3D models. An anisotropic analytical solution that we present performs well and recovers decompression rates within a factor of 2, in the situations in which it is valid. 3D models that include multiple melt inclusions show that inclusions can shield each other and reduce the amount of water loss upon ascent. This shielding effect depends on decompression rate, melt inclusion size, and crystallographic direction. Our modelling approach shows that factors such as 3D crystal geometry and melt inclusion configuration can play an important role in constraining accurate decompression rates and recovering water contents in natural magmatic systems.
Artificial Intelligence Ethics and Fairness: A study to address bias and fairness issues in AI systems, and the ethical implications of AI applications
Authors: Gupta Nimesh
Published: December 2023

Artificial intelligence (AI) has made incredible strides in several fields, revolutionising business and everyday life. Thoughts regarding the moral ramifications and fairness of AI systems have grown in prominence along with its fast development. This article explores the crucial issues of AI fairness and ethics, concentrating on ways to detect and reduce prejudice in AI systems while also discussing larger ethical implications. The paper emphasises the possible repercussions of biased decision-making while highlighting the many forms and sources of bias that might develop in AI models. There are several methods and strategies to deal with bias in AI systems, including data pretreatment, algorithmic changes, and transparency measures. In an effort to balance justice and efficacy, the trade-offs between fairness goals and overall model performance are examined. The article also emphasises how crucial it is for AI systems to be transparent and understandable in order to foster accountability. For the purpose of establishing ethical AI development and deployment practises, regulatory issues and ethical decision-making frameworks are also investigated. This study emphasises the need of ongoing research and development of moral AI systems to guarantee a just and equitable future for AI applications via in-depth analysis and case studies.

Gelişmiş ve gelişmekte olan ülkelerde istihdam açısından en çok çalışanın yer aldığı sektörlerin başında gelen hizmet sektörü, ülke ekonomilerine yüksek düzeyde katkı sunmaktadır. Hizmet sektörlerine ilişkin tüketicilerin beklentileri, hizmet güven endeksi ile ölçülerek belirlenmektedir ve bu endeks, aylık olarak hesaplanmaktadır. Bu kapsamda araştırmada; 2011: 12-2023: 03 dönemi için BIST hizmet endeksi, hizmet gelirleri, hizmet üretici fiyat endeksi, hizmet sektörü doğrudan yabancı yatırımları, dolar ve euro döviz kurları ile hizmet güven endeksi arasındaki nedensellik ilişkileri araştırılmıştır. Bu nedensellik ilişkisi, Toda Yamamoto nedensellik testi ile analiz edilmiştir. Araştırmanın sonucuna göre, hizmet sektörü güven endeksi ile hizmet gelirleri arasında çift taraflı bir nedensellik ilişkisinin olduğu belirlenmiştir. Buna göre, hizmet gelirleri hizmet güven endeksinin nedeni iken hizmet güven endeksinin de hizmet gelirlerinin nedeni olduğu söylenebilmektedir. Euro kuru, dolar kuru, hizmet sektörüne ilişkin doğrudan yatırımların hizmet güven endeksinden tek taraflı olarak etkilendikleri ve hizmet güven endeksinin bunların nedeni olduğu sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. BIST hizmet sektörünün ise hizmet güven endeksini tek taraflı olarak etkilediği ve BIST hizmet sektörünün hizmet sektörü güven endeksinin nedeni olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Bu çalışmanın, hizmet güven endeksine dair sınırlı sayıda araştırma olması sebebiyle literatüre katkı sunacağı düşünülmektedir.
Effect of a comprehensive geriatric assessment-based individualized intervention on postoperative patients with cerebral hemorrhage: A randomized controlled study
Authors: Ding Ling , Tao Xinyan , Zhou Jingjing
Published: December 2023

BACKGROUND: Comprehensive geriatric assessment (CGA) has been used in inpatient, outpatient, and emergency patients in Western countries and is an important evaluation tool in medicine. In China, the application of CGA to multiple single diseases has achieved satisfactory intervention effects. OBJECTIVE: To explore the effect of CGA on postoperative quality of life (QoL), psychological state, neurological recovery, and self-efficacy in patients with cerebral hemorrhage. METHODS: In this randomized controlled trial, a total of 133 postoperative patients with cerebral hemorrhage who were treated and nursed in our hospital between March 2019 and March 2021 were randomly assigned to a control group (68 patients) and an observation group (65 patients). The control group was given a general comprehensive care intervention. The observation group was evaluated using an electronic medical record-based CGA system that assessed patient prognosis and was given individualized interventions based on the CGA findings. The postoperative QoL, psychological state, neurological recovery, and self-efficacy of the two groups were compared. RESULTS: After the intervention, self-decompression, self-decision-making, and positive attitudes of the observation group were higher than those of the control group. However, the National Institute of Health Stroke Scale score of the observation group was lower than that of the control group, the Self-rating anxiety scale and self-rating depression scale scores of the observation group were lower than those of the control group, and the social support score was significantly higher in the observation group than in the control group. After the intervention, the mental vitality, social interaction, emotional restriction, and mental status scores of the observation group were significantly higher than those of the control group. CONCLUSION: Comprehensive evaluation of patients with cerebral hemorrhage based on a CGA, targeting the individual factors that affect the prognosis of patients, and formulating and implementing individualized nursing intervention programs based on the CGA results can effectively relieve the symptoms of cerebral hemorrhage, reduce anxiety and depression, and improve the QoL of patients with cerebral hemorrhage.

BACKGROUND: The main treatment method for end-stage renal disease (ESRD) is maintenance hemodialysis (MHD). With the continuous improvement of dialysis technology, the survival period of MHD patients has been effectively prolonged, but dialysis technology still cannot completely replace renal function. OBJECTIVE: To study the dietary compliance and its correlation with thirst in MHD patients and to provide guidance for clinical development of corresponding intervention countermeasures. METHODS: A total of 90 patients who received MHD treatment from March 2021 to March 2022 were selected as objects. The Renal Adherence Attitudes Questionnaire (RAAQ) and the Renal Adherence Behaviour Questionnaire (RABQ) were used to analyze the dietary compliance and thirst status of patients. Pearson correlation analysis was used to analyze the correlation between diet compliance and thirst. RESULTS: Positive correlations were found between VAS and DTI, SXI and TDS (P< 0.05). Social restrictive attitude was positively correlated with VAS, DTI, SXI, TDS, acceptance attitude and compliance in facing difficulties (P< 0.05), and negatively correlated with self-care compliance (r=-0.35, P< 0.05). Health attitude was positively correlated with VAS, DTI and SXI (P< 0.05). Acceptance attitude was positively correlated with DTI, SXI and TDS (P< 0.05). High RAAQ was associated with high VAS (b= 0.11, 95% CI: 0.05, 0.18), DTI (b= 0.28, 95% CI: 0.17, 0.38), SXI (b= 0.24, 95% CI: 0.14, 0.34) and TDS (b= 0.26, 95% CI: 0.13, 0.4). CONCLUSION: The overall performance of dietary compliance in patients with MHD is at a moderate level, and dietary compliance is negatively correlated with disease perception.

BACKGROUND: Endothelial dysfunction, the earliest stage of atherosclerosis, can be caused by smoking, but its molecular mechanism requires further investigation. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to use bioinformatics analysis to identify potential mechanisms involved in smoking-related atherosclerotic endothelial dysfunction. METHODS: The transcriptome data used for this bioinformatics analysis were obtained from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database. The GSE137578 and GSE141136 datasets were used to identify common differentially expressed genes (co-DEGs) in endothelial cells treated with oxidized low-density lipoprotein (ox-LDL) and tobacco. The co-DEGs were annotated using Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomics (KEGG) databases. Additionally, a protein-protein interaction (PPI) network was constructed to visualize their interactions and screen for hub genes. GSE120521 dataset was used to verify the expression of hub genes in unstable plaques. The miRNA expression profile GSE137580 and online databases (starBase 2.0, TargetScan 8.0 and DGIdb v4.2.0) were used to predict the related non-coding RNAs and drugs. RESULTS: A total of 232 co-DEGs were identified, including 113 up-regulated genes and 119 down-regulated genes. These DEGs were primarily enriched in detrimental autophagy, cell death, transcription factors, and cytokines, and were implicated in ferroptosis, abnormal lipid metabolism, inflammation, and oxidative stress pathways. Ten hub genes were screened from the constructed PPI network, including up-regulated genes such as FOS, HMOX1, SQSTM1, PTGS2, ATF3, DDIT3, and down-regulated genes MCM4, KIF15, UHRF1, and CCL2. Importantly, HMOX1 was further up-regulated in unstable plaques (p= 0.034). Finally, a regulatory network involving lncRNA/circRNA-miRNA-hub genes and drug-hub genes was established. CONCLUSION: Atherosclerotic endothelial dysfunction is associated with smoking-induced injury. Through bioinformatics analysis, we identified potential mechanisms and provided potential therapeutic targets.

BACKROUND: Periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) is a very important complication that occurs after total joint replacement. Diagnosing PJI is at least as difficult as this disease. There is no biomarker that alone can diagnose PJI. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of large unstained cell percentage (%LUC) in diagnosing PJI and deciding on re-implantation in two stage septic exchange arthroplasty. METHODS: Patients who underwent revision arthroplasty between 2019 and 2023 were screened retrospectively. These patients were grouped as those who underwent two-stage septic exchange and those who underwent aseptic exchange. Prosthesis removal from the patients who underwent two-stage septic exchange, before spacer application, and on the 3rd post-operative day after spacer application, Blood parameters were collected at the 1st month and before the second stage after the spacer application, and before the revision surgery from the patients who underwent aseptic exchange. White blood cell, neutrophil percentage, %LUC, albumin, sedim and CRP values were checked and recorded one by one from all patients. RESULTS: The data of a total of 233 patients, including 133 patients in the two stage septic exchange group and 100 patients in the aseptic exchange group, were included in the study. When the predictive value of %LUC in PJI was accepted as cut-off 1.75, the sensitivity was 69.2% and the specificity was 73%. The change in %LUC over time in patients who underwent two-stage septic exchange was statistically significant (p= 0.0001). A positive correlation was found between the value of .%LUC after spacer application and the value of CRP before prosthesis protrusion/spacer application surgery, and the Spearman correlation coefficient was found to be 0.005. CONCLUSION: %LUC value can be a promising biomarker for the diagnosis of PJI by considering both sensitivity and specificity rates. Apart from this, it is an easily accessible and effective biomarker for re-implantation decision making and evaluation of response to treatment, especially in two-stage septic exchange surgeries.

BACKGROUND: Early complications in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) associated with modern robotics platforms integrated with digital balancing technology have not been investigated. OBJECTIVE: The objective was to compare 90-day complication rates between a manual technique and a modern robotic-assisted ligament balancing TKA platform. METHODS: 895 primary TKA procedures from a single surgeon were retrospectively reviewed (614 manual TKA, 281 using a modern robotics platform with an integrated digitally controlled ligament balancing device). Post-operative complications within the 90-day episode of care were recorded by the Michigan Arthroplasty Registry Collaborative Quality Initiative. Differences in complication rates between techniques were further divided into inpatient hospital, outpatient hospital, and ambulatory surgery center (ASC) cohorts. RESULTS: In the pooled hospital cohort and inpatient hospital cohort, ‘Return to OR’ was significantly lower for the robotic assisted group (1.3% vs 5.2% and 0% vs 4.9%, respectively, p< 0.0370). Specifically, the need for manipulation under anesthesia (MUA) was reduced for the robotics group (0.0% vs 2.5%, p= 0.0352). No differences in overall complication rate or cause of complication was found between manual and robotics cases for the hospital outpatient and ASC cohorts (p⩾ 0.68). CONCLUSION: Within the hospital setting, robotic assisted ligament balancing technology was associated with reduced 90-day postoperative complications for ‘Return to OR’ and MUA.
