Authors: S Manjula , M Krishna Kumar
Published: February 2024

Background: In India, the prevalence of diabetes is constantly rising in both urban and rural settings. The innovation of newer drugs and the combination of available drugs to treat diabetes has also been increasing. So, this study aimed to understand the practice of clinicians and their perspective towards prescribing appropriate oral hypoglycemic agents for individuals diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in India. Methods: This cross-sectional survey was conducted among diabetologists who provided consent to participate in the survey on their prescription pattern of oral hypoglycemic agents for management of T2DM individuals. Results: Majority of physicians preferred sitagliptin and dapagliflozin fixed dose combination (FDC) (84.42%) for T2DM individuals with high-risk. The experts also mentioned the FDC reduces time in range (40.04%) when sodium glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) and Dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors (DPP4i) FDC was given. Sitagliptin and dapagliflozin combination therapy was given majorly to newly diagnosed T2DM individuals with cardiovascular risk (CV risk) (67.07%). Sitagliptin and dapagliflozin FDC for 16 weeks reduces 1.5 to 2% of glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) (40.63%). Conclusion: Sitagliptin and dapagliflozin FDC was effective for T2DM individuals with high-risk and for newly diagnosed T2DM (and with CV risk). The combination also showed benefit in reducing blood pressure and weight loss when compared to SGLT2 inhibitors monotherapy. Hospitalization rate and CV risk was reduced in individuals who take sitagliptin and dapagliflozin FDC.

Goal: To study the management of postoperative pain in the general surgery department of the Fousseyni DAOU hospital in Kayes. Patients and Method: We conducted a prospective 6-month study from November 2022 to May 2023, involving 107 surgical patients, aged 15 to 81 years, who met the inclusion criteria. We assessed pain using the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) at patient admission, at the second hour, and then every eight hours until seventy- second hours after analgesic use. Multimodal analgesia was the most widely used in the study. Administration of paracetamol alone and/or in combination with nefopam and/or ketoprofen and/or morphine. The evolution of pain as well as adverse effects after administration of analgesics were investigated. Results: The mean age of our patients was 35.9 years with extremes of 15 and 81 years. Male sex was the most represented at 64.5% with a sex ratio of 1.82 and the majority of patients were classified as ASA 1 (82.2%). VAS less than 3 (VAS≤ 4) was most observed during the first 2 hours postoperatively, i.e. 41.1% for VAS 0-2 and 28.9% VAS 3-4 at rest, respectively, and respectively 33.6% and 30.8% for no pain and mild pain. At 24 hours postoperatively, 87.2% of patients did not feel pain after the resting assessment, this figure increased from 89.8% at the 48th postoperative hour at rest, still after the use of analgesics. At the 72nd hour, we observed cases of pain, i.e. 0.9% of patients, which was related to a postoperative complication. The average cost of pain management was estimated at 23580 FCFA. Side effects observed were vomiting in 3 patients and drowsiness in one patient. Conclusion: Postoperative pain is still understudied, the evaluation with the visual analogue scale of patients before and after the use of analgesics has allowed us to better understand patients' pain and to improve pain management in the surgical department.

Small bowel volvulus complicating incomplete common mesentery corresponds to an arrest in the 180° rotation of the primitive intestinal loop. The root of the mesentery is very short and the entire small intestine is pedunculated on the superior mesenteric artery. This situation carries a very high risk of small bowel volvulus and entero-mesenteric infarction. Acute volvulus requires emergency surgery; imaging should not delay surgical management. The surgical procedure consists of untwisting the volvulus (anticlockwise) and assessing the viability of the intestine. The intestine is stored in the position of complete common mesentery: coetus in the left iliac fossa. We report the observation of a 24-year-old patient admitted for small bowel volvulus on incomplete common mesentery, operated on as an emergency with a favourable postoperative outcome.

Authors: Sarder Md. Atiqul Haque , Ahmed Quazi Sabran Uddin , Alam Muhammed
Published: February 2024

Background: Breast cancer is the most prevalent form of cancer in women worldwide and the second-leading cause of death from cancer in women. Because the estrogen receptor, progesterone receptor, and HER2 are not expressed, triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) has an aggressive clinical history. The highest rates of recurrence and survival, higher average grades, and larger tumor sizes at diagnosis are all characteristics of TNBC. Objective: To compare between breast conserving surgery (BCS) and mastectomy patients with early stage Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC). Materials and Methods: We conducted a comparative retrospective monocentric study that evaluated TNBC patients treated with upfront surgery at CMH Dhaka, CMH Bogura and Kurmitola General Hospital, Dhaka. The observation period was from 1 January 2021 to 31 December 2022. All patients received biopsy to obtain the pathological tissue before treatment, and their immunohistochemical results met the diagnostic criteria for TNBC. Study patients divide din to two group 40 surgeries with primary site were categorized as receiving BCS and other hand 40 surgeries with categorized as receiving mastectomy. BCSS and OS were the primary outcomes of our study. Results: Tumor grade II, tumor size >20.0 mm and lymph node 2 were significantly associated with breast cancer-specific survival. Tumor size >20.0 mm and lymph node 2 were significantly associated with TNBC survival. Conclusion: TNBC is a breast cancer type that is aggressive and has a bad prognosis. With regard to breast cancer-specific survival, advanced age, being single, left side of laterality, tumor grades II and III, large tumor size, and lymph node 2 were all substantially related.

Authors: Arenilla Sáez Manuel
Published: February 2024

A partir de 2008, España se enfrentó a una profunda crisis económica y financiera a la que respondió con medidas de austeridad y una reforma constitucional en 2011 que enfatizó en la estabilidad presupuestaria. La reforma local de 2013 se alineó con este objetivo y con la suficiencia financiera, reduciendo las competencias autonómicas y la autonomía local, aunque no abordó otras disfuncionalidades intergubernamentales. Diez años después, los objetivos financieros y de superávit se han cumplido y la gestión de las entidades locales ha experimentado una gran transformación en estos aspectos, a la vez que se han incrementado los controles de las autoridades financieras. Los intentos de modificar la ley, no han tenido éxito hasta la fecha.

Pokdarwis is one of the spearheads of tourism which plays an important role in promoting tourist destinations and providing education related to these tourist destinations in the local area. The lack of knowledge and diving skills of Pokdarwis members, as well as the limited facilities and infrastructure that can be used to improve their diving skills is one of the reasons for the implementation of community service activities entitled Basic diving training for Community Based Tourism (Pokdarwis) in Pandeglang Regency. This activity uses the method of observation, interviews, training, and mentoring. This training activity was attended by 20 participants from the Pokdarwis of Pandeglang Regency. The results of this activity indicate that there are differences in the mean pretest and posttest scores, where the posttest score is greater than the pretest score. As many as 80% of the participants successfully carried out the SCUBA equipment installation procedure properly. 90% of participants were able to do the Giant Step Entry procedure well and 75% of the participants were able to do the Back Roll Entry procedure well. And finally, as many as 60% of the participants could do mask clearing well.

Probabilistic forecasting of construction labor productivity metrics
Authors: Jacobsen Emil L. , Teizer Jochen , Wandahl Søren , Brilakis Ioannis
Published: February 2024

This study investigates the possibility of doing probabilistic forecasting of construction labor productivity metrics for both long-term and short-term estimates. The research aims to evaluate autoregressive forecasting models, which may help decision-makers with information currently unavailable in construction projects. Unlike point forecasts, the proposed method employs probabilistic forecasting, offering additional valuable insights for decision-makers. The distributional information is obtained by updating the moments of the distribution during training. Two datasets are used to evaluate the models: one collected from an entire construction site for long-term forecasting and one from an individual worker for short-term forecasting. The models aim to predict the state of direct work, indirect work, and waste. Several models are trained using different hyperparameters. The models are tuned on the number of trees and the regularization used. The presented method gives estimates of future levels of direct work, indirect work, and waste, which will add value to future processes.

Authors: Maria Luz O. Agatinto  , Neil Ryan B. Ado
Published: February 2024

The study examined the impact of metacognitive strategies and achievement emotions on students academic self-efficacy in learning science. It involved 344 respondents from three public secondary schools in the Division of Tagum City, selected through stratified random sampling. Data were collected using three questionnaires: the Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire (MSLQ), Achievement Emotions Scale (AES), and Academic Self-Efficacy Scale (ASES). The results showed that metacognitive strategies were frequently observed, achievement emotions were somewhat manifested, and students academic self-efficacy in learning science was moderate. Moreover, the results indicate that both metacognitive strategies and achievement emotions significantly correlated with and predicted students academic self-efficacy in learning science. The study suggests that teachers should promote metacognitive strategies and foster positive achievement emotions to enhance students academic self-efficacy.

Authors: Шлапак В. П. , Зворська Н. В.
Published: February 2024

Досліджено вологозабезпеченість та вміст поживних речовин у ґрунті, а також визначено рівень кислотності ґрунтів в системі полезахисних смуг Правобережного Лісостепу України. Проведено ряд досліджень в межах дії екотону, значення якого має істотне значення в умовах глобальних змін клімату, та представлено дані, отриманні внаслідок проведених досліджень. З'ясовано позитивний вплив полезахисних лісових смуг висотою 20-23 м у зоні дії екотонних ландшафтів на фізико-хімічні властивості ґрунту, проте простежується зниження врожайності сільськогосподарських культур. Протиерозійну ефективність насаджень визначали шляхом порівняння запасів вологи, рівнем кислотності, а також запасів гумусу, загального азоту, калію та фосфору в орному горизонті ґрунту, захищеному протиерозійними лісовими смугами. Вологість ґрунту визначали за гравіметричним методом. Дослідженнями виявлено позитивний вплив лісосмуг на стан сільськогосподарських ґрунтів Правобережного Лісостепу України. Встановлено, що мікроклімат ґрунту на дослідних полях з посівами пшениці озимої (Triticum aestivum L.), кукурудзи звичайної (Zea mays L.) та соняшнику однорічного (Helianthus annuus L.) можна визначити як вологий в межах екотонних ландшафтів та контролі. Охарактеризовано кліматичні та ґрунтові умови регіону за середньо багаторічними даними 1991-2020 рр. Розглянуто вміст поживних речовин, в тому числі, вміст рухомого азоту NO3, калію К2О та фосфору Р2О5. Середній вміст гумусу являється низьким (2,3 %), що характерно для даного типу ґрунту. Простежується зменшення гумусу в верхньому 0-20 см шарі ґрунту порівняно з наявністю його у 0-40 см шарі ґрунту. Реакція ґрунтового розчину – нейтральна, тобто рівень кислотності в межах норми та в середньому становить 6,3 рН. Проаналізовано запаси загальної та доступної вологи ґрунтів, які відповідно становлять 67,9 і 41,2 мм у межах екотону та 67,2 і 40,6 мм у контролі. Спостерігаємо зменшення запасів вологи, хоч і частку різниці запасу вологи в контролі є досить незначним, відносно даних у межах екотону – 0,7 мм при запасах загальної вологи та 0,6 мм при запасах доступної вологи. Значення вологості ґрунтів у межах екотону на відстані від полезахисних лісових смуг (від 5 до 20 м) також мають досить не істотну різницю.

desejo mimético e seus mecanismos no pensamento de René Girard a partir da tragédia de Édipo
Authors: Azizi Diego dos Anjos
Published: February 2024

A intenção deste trabalho é explicitar elementos conceituais elaborados por René Girard em sua obra A violência e o sagrado, a saber, os conceitos de desejo mimético e de vítima sacrificial (ou bode expiatório), relacionando-os à sua análise da tragédia de Sófocles Édipo-Rei. Em seguida, será demonstrado como esses elementos estão presentes já na literatura trágica da Grécia Antiga – inclusive, foi a partir da análise de Girard das tragédias gregas que a ideia de mecanismo mimético foi plenamente desenvolvida – e como esses elementos estão vivos e presentes tanto no mundo “literário/imagético” quanto no mundo “real”. A afirmação de Girard do que é a violência, que constitui o verdadeiro coração e a alma secreta do sagrado, orientará o curso desta investigação, que se iniciará pelos conceitos de desejo mimético e vítima sacrificial.

Published: February 2024

Pandemic Covid-19 situation has enforced most companies imposes their staff to work from home basis as mode of operational. Due to that the number of home computer users is increasing faster than ever. This scenario indirectly highlighted home users' information security as an important field to be investigated. This is not only a matter of securing home users' personal and work information, but also because internet users who access from home provide an ideal breeding ground for security hackers targeting organisations and individuals. Therefore, this paper aims to investigate the factors that influence the information security behaviour of home user. As for this study, 201 respondents among employees in an ICT agency are being analyzed using quantitative approach through the online survey questionnaires. From the findings, it has been concluded that the perceived severity, perceived susceptibility, response efficacy, cues to action and perceived benefit has been identified as the factors that influenced the information security behaviour of home users. Perceived severity was found to be the factor that influenced how users react to implement or not the security safety measures while accessing information. Although respondents do not feel they are possible targets for security threats, they recognize that the result of a security breach would have a significant impact on them. It might be irrational to suppose that any security experience, knowledge or history background by individuals is the way they act at home. It is therefore hoped to see policy makers or authorised bodies design and implement security awareness campaigns and programs so that users are effectively informed about threats and the skills they can use to mitigate security threats and thereby improve the security climate of users. Where the majority of IS research based on behavioral IS within an organizational framework, "security of home users" demands greater attention from researchers in order to provide an improve analysis and proper practice on home user’s security behavior.

Published: February 2024

Fertigation is a technique that combines plant fertigation and irrigation that becomes most used by the commercial farmers as well as home growers. However, fertigation systems required a constant water supply and the exact amount of nutrient that plant needed as it changes depending on their growth. The paper aims to research, create, built, test and implement an automatic mixing fertilizer by implementing Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) monitoring system according to the plant’s nutrient level needed. It is also exploring the potential of optimum water usage by constructing an automatic timer for watering the plants according to the routine schedule. The system used an Arduino UNO R3 as a microcontroller. TDS sensor sense and measure the dissolved solids in a nutrient solution which gives information on the number of nutrients or impurities in TDS value. In an automatic watering system, the pump is running according to the timer set by a microcontroller. The frequency of distribution and the concentration of the solution depends on the weather conditions and the level of the crop. Hot weather requires more amount and frequency of fertilizer but in dilute solution. As such, this system has demonstrated a cost-effective, sustainable, eco-friendly, and safe environment as a result it will produce fresh and healthy plants that can give benefits to living things.

The lipid composition such as fatty acids and fat-soluble vitamins is the second-most abundant composition of human milk providing dietary energy to infants. Micronutrient dietary intake such as vitamin A, D, E, K and C by breastfeeding mothers plays an important role in regulating the quality of human milk for optimum infant health and growth. The objective of this paper is to determine the distribution and correlation of maternal micronutrient intake of lipid-soluble vitamin and vitamin C towards fatty acids composition in human milk of exclusively breastfeeding mothers. A total of N=36 nursing women were recruited from Dengkil, Selangor, and Kuantan, Pahang, using a convenience sample method. A 24-hour dietary recall (24HR) was performed to collect thorough information on all foods and beverages ingested in the previous 24 hours by the respondent. The data on micronutrients intake per mother was tabulated using Nutritionist Pro. (NP) software. Following the diet recall, the human sample was collected in the next morning and subjected to fatty acid extraction and transesterification using the Blight and Dyer method. The composition of fatty acids methyl esters was analyzed and quantified by a gas chromatography (Agilent 7890A), equipped with a flame ionization detector (FID) and Agilent Chromatography Workstation software. The highest mean of intake occurred during the fifth to sixth months with, 1067.37±629.66 µg RE/day for vitamin A, during the first two months with, 0.89±0.84 µg RE/day of vitamin D, 5.85±2.49 mg/day while during the fifth to sixth months with, 17.28±11.74 µg /day of Vitamin E and at the first two months of lactation period with, 91.60±55.26 mg per day for vitamin C. Despite the fact that there was no significant correlation between vitamin intake and the fatty acid content of human milk, the study discovered a variety of patterns of correlation. Saturated fatty acids (SFA) in human milk were only positively correlated with vitamin D and C, while monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA) were positively correlated with vitamin A, E, and K and negatively correlated with the rest. As a result, the fatty acid composition of human milk is less dependent on micronutrient dietary intake and more dependent on De-Novo synthesis in the mammary gland.

Some synthesis processes obtain Acid tars after treating the refining products with sulfuric acid. They are highly toxic to the environment, occupying important storage spaces. Following the closure of the refineries in Romania, large quantities of acid tars were abandoned in oil residue tanks. Currently, activities are being carried out to inventory and dispose of them. Incineration is the only possibility to treat these wastes, which release dangerous substances into the air (CO2, SO2). That is precisely why we tried to find solutions to treat these wastes by encapsulating them with various additives, the best solution being their physical alteration through encapsulation and stabilization in situ. The results obtained from the treatment of some acid tars taken from Romania, with additives consisting of cement, sand, calcium oxide, sodium hydroxide, bentonite, and emulsifier, are presented, the created recipes being used to treat 80 collected tar samples. The effects of these recipes on the primary pollutants are also analyzed (metal content, total hydrocarbons in oil, the number of acids, cyanides, chlorides, and sulfates).

This article introduces an innovative approach to oil field management using digital twin technology and machine learning. A detailed experimental setup was designed using oil displacement techniques, equipped with sensors, actuators, flow meters, and solenoid valves. The experiments focused on displacing oil using water, polymer, and oil, from which valuable data was gathered. This data was pivotal in crafting a digital twin model of the oil field. Utilizing the digital twin, ML algorithms were trained to predict oil production rates, detect potential equipment malfunctions, and prevent operational issues. Our findings highlight a notable 10-15% improvement in oil production efficiency, underscoring the transformative potential of merging DT and ML in the petroleum industry.
Financial Fraud Identification Model of Listed Companies based on Time-Series Information
Authors: Wang Lili
Published: February 2024

The aim of this research is to establish a high-precision financial fraud identification model for listed companies, which is mainly based on the financial indicators of time series. Support vector machine and K-means clustering algorithm are especially used in the research process. Firstly, local linear embedding is used to reduce the dimensionality of the selected financial indicators to extract the low-dimensional characteristics. Then the samples are classified into financial fraud and non-fraud by support vector machine, and the recognition model is constructed. At the same time, the research also uses K-means clustering algorithm to analyze the pattern of financial fraud. The experiment of dimensionality reduction proves that the model has a high effect on the processing of financial data, and the error between the data after dimensionality reduction and the original data is small. In addition, the clustering effect of the model also shows a clear pattern of fraud. In practical application, the accuracy rate of this model is as high as 94.89%, showing high accuracy and recall rate, and its F1 value is 87.08%, showing its feasibility and effectiveness in practice. The results highly prove that the performance of the financial fraud identification model proposed in this study is excellent, and it has a wide application prospect in the future.
Effect of Conflicting Flows on TCP and UDP Data Transfer Rates in OpenFlow Switch for Software-Defined Networks (SDN)
Authors: Hussien Mutaz Hamed , Hassan Mohamed Khalafalla
Published: February 2024

Software-defined networking (SDN) is a framework that enhances scalability and agility in network simplicity and control. It is characterized by logical centralization, improving control, and data planes. Nevertheless, additional investigation is needed to fully understand the influence of flow conflict on the transfer rate variable. The present research aims to analyze the impact of flow conflict on the efficacy of the two protocols, the transmission control protocol (TCP) and the user datagram protocol (UDP), respectively, by utilizing throughput as a measure of efficiency. The measurements are verified through SDN OpenFlow networking modeling using MININET. The findings reveal a significant average alteration in transfer rate for TCP and UDP when SDN conflict rules are present, ultimately impacting network and operational efficiency.
Milk fat globule epidermal growth factor 8 alleviates liver injury in severe acute pancreatitis by restoring autophagy flux and inhibiting ferroptosis in hepatocytes

BACKGROUND

Liver injury is common in severe acute pancreatitis (SAP). Excessive autophagy often leads to an imbalance of homeostasis in hepatocytes, which induces lipid peroxidation and mitochondrial iron deposition and ultimately leads to ferroptosis. Our previous study found that milk fat globule epidermal growth factor 8 (MFG-E8) alleviates acinar cell damage during SAP via binding to αvβ3/5 integrins. MFG-E8 also seems to mitigate pancreatic fibrosis via inhibiting chaperone-mediated autophagy.

AIM

To speculate whether MFG-E8 could also alleviate SAP induced liver injury by restoring the abnormal autophagy flux.

METHODS

SAP was induced in mice by 2 hly intraperitoneal injections of 4.0 g/kg L-arginine or 7 hly injections of 50 μg/kg cerulein plus lipopolysaccharide. mfge8 -knockout mice were used to study the effect of MFG-E8 deficiency on SAP-induced liver injury. Cilengitide, a specific αvβ3/5 integrin inhibitor, was used to investigate the possible mechanism of MFG-E8.

RESULTS

The results showed that MFG-E8 deficiency aggravated SAP-induced liver injury in mice, enhanced autophagy flux in hepatocyte, and worsened the degree of ferroptosis. Exogenous MFG-E8 reduced SAP-induced liver injury in a dose-dependent manner. Mechanistically, MFG-E8 mitigated excessive autophagy and inhibited ferroptosis in liver cells. Cilengitide abolished MFG-E8’s beneficial effects in SAP-induced liver injury.

CONCLUSION

MFG-E8 acts as an endogenous protective mediator in SAP-induced liver injury. MFG-E8 alleviates the excessive autophagy and inhibits ferroptosis in hepatocytes by binding to integrin αVβ3/5.
What, if anything, can be considered an amodal sensory dimension?
Authors: Spence Charles , Di Stefano Nicola
Published: February 2024

The term ‘amodal’ is a key topic in several different research fields across experimental psychology and cognitive neuroscience, including in the areas of developmental and perception science. However, despite being regularly used in the literature, the term means something different to the researchers working in the different contexts. Many developmental scientists conceive of the term as referring to those perceptual qualities, such as, for example, the size and shape of an object, that can be picked up by multiple senses (e.g., vision and touch potentially providing information relevant to the same physical stimulus/property). However, the amodal label is also widely used in the case of those qualities that are not directly sensory, such as, for example, numerosity, rhythm, synchrony, etc. Cognitive neuroscientists, by contrast, tend to use the term amodal to refer to those central cognitive processes and brain areas that do not appear to be preferentially responsive to a particular sensory modality or to those symbolic or formal representations that essentially lack any modality and that are assumed to play a role in the higher processing of sensory information. Finally, perception scientists sometimes refer to the phenomenon of ‘amodal completion’, referring to the spontaneous completion of perceptual information that is missing when occluded objects are presented to observers. In this paper, we review the various different ways in which the term ‘amodal’ has been used in the literature and the evidence supporting the various uses of the term. Morever, we highlight some of the various properties that have been suggested to be ‘amodal’ over the years. Then, we try to address some of the questions that arise from the reviewed evidence, such as: Do different uses of the ‘term’ refer to different domains, for example, sensory information, perceptual processes, or perceptual representations? Are there any commonalities among the different uses of the term? To what extent is research on cross-modal associations (or correspondences) related to, or can shed light on, amodality? And how is the notion of amodal related to multisensory integration? Based on the reviewed evidence, it is argued that there is, as yet, no convincing empirical evidence to support the claim that amodal sensory qualities exist. We thus suggest that use of the term amodal would be more meaningful with respect to abstract cognition rather than necessarily sensory perception, the latter being more adequately explained/understood in terms of highly redundant cross-modal correspondences.

Authors: Gonçalves de Carvalho Luiz Fellipe
Published: February 2024

O presente ensaio visa apresentar uma análise destacando a natureza essencial e sua relação com o eu manifesto. Ao decorrer do texto será possível compreender como o tema possui relação com perspectivas filosóficas e a integração científica, pois como é um trabalho corpo e mente, há uma relação neurocientífica que deve ser abordada, mas ainda assim, respeitando as questões filosóficas e espirituais que serão apresentadas. Será explorada a complexidade da dicotomia, destacando interpretações históricas e contemporâneas, juntamente com as implicações terapêuticas. Será discutido o papel da linguagem, filosofia da mente, neurociência e práticas terapêuticas no entendimento desses conceitos. Por fim, a importância de abordagens interdisciplinares para uma compreensão mais profunda da existência humana e da consciência também será apresentada neste texto.
