Published: July 2023

Background: Nowadays, increasing the use of pesticides to manage the agriculture production resulted in increased pesticide residues in final products and concerns about environmental pollution and prevalence of emerging diseases. This study aims to investigate the residual amount of Phosalone toxin in the early and late varieties of peach orchards in Saman city located in Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari province.
Methods: In this study, 60 samples of early and late peach varieties of peach orchards were selected randomly. Phosalone residues in early and late peach varieties before and after washing, and after peeling were extracted by QUECHERS method and the amount of extracted toxin were measured by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The data were analyzed using SPSS v.24 software.
Results: Phosalone residues in early peach varieties before and after washing were 3.55 ± 0.94 and 0.31 ± 0.29 mg/kg, respectively. The concentration of Phosalone residues in unwashed early and late peach varieties before washing was 3.17 ± 0.97 mg/kg but decreased to 0.64 ±0.74 mg /kg after washing. Peeling reduced 97.79% of the Phosalone residues in late peach.   Early and late peaches covered by the plant pathology clinic and unwashed late peaches not covered by plant pathology clinic were significantly (P < 0.05) higher than the Iranian national standard (2 mg/kg).
Conclusion: Washing and peeling the peach significantly decreased the toxin residues. In order to minimize the risk of exposure to Phosalone residues, integrated pest control management programs are essential.

Published: July 2023

This article aimed to review current literature on the safety and efficacy of stem cell therapy in Stargardt disease. A comprehensive literature search was performed, and two animal and eleven human clinical trials were retrieved. These studies utilized different kinds of stem cells, including human or mouse embryonic stem cells, mesenchymal stem cells, bone marrow mononuclear fraction, and autologous bone marrow-derived stem cells. In addition, different injection techniques including subretinal, intravitreal, and suprachoroidal space injections have been evaluated. Although stem cell therapy holds promise in improving visual function in patients with Stargardt disease, further investigation is needed to determine the long-term benefits, safety, and efficacy in determining the best delivery method and selecting the most appropriate stem cell type.
Quaternary Knot Technique: Suture Knot Burial without Scleral Flap or Incision for Trans-scleral Fixation
Authors: Dogan Levent , Edhem Yilmaz Ibrahim
Published: July 2023

Despite the introduction of novel sutureless posterior chamber intraocular lens (IOL) fixation techniques, some conditions still require suture-assisted scleral fixation. If the scleral fixation suture knot is left directly under the conjunctiva, it may become exposed, resulting in an increased risk of endophthalmitis. To avoid this problem, we offer a new alternative, simple, and safe way for burying the end of the suture using knots in this report.

Authors: Ovington Julie Ann
Published: July 2023

Engaging with Posthuman theories this article puts to work concepts of affect, bodies, and voice to reimagine an ordinary classroom event of making cards for families and carers. The article will outline how Human Capital Theory and neoliberal logic can reveal how specific ways of demonstrating learning are privileged in practice. To challenge the dominant discourse, and the binary of ready/not ready, this article makes a call for an intra-active posthuman pedagogy, so that time in space can be slowed down to follow the agentic rustles of material voices and bodies to (re)imagine school readiness.
Two Cases of Frontal Sinus Inverted Papilloma Treated With a Combined Bifrontal Craniotomy and Endonasal Endoscopic Approach
Authors: An Jae Seong , Kim Do Hyun
Published: July 2023

An inverted papilloma of the frontal sinus is a challenging lesion for surgeons, for both anatomical and pathological reasons. Despite the trend away from an external approach and towards an endonasal endoscopic approach, indications for an external approach remain. The options for an external approach include endoscopic frontal trephination, transpalpebral orbital craniotomy, a supraorbital transeyebrow approach, an osteoplastic flap, and bifrontal craniotomy with cranialization. Each approach has advantages and disadvantages. Deciding on the appropriate approach is important for the patient’s prognosis and risk of complications. We report two cases of frontal sinus inverted papilloma treated with a combined bifrontal craniotomy with cranialization and endonasal endoscopic approach. We also present a general review of the external approaches mentioned above.
The Effects of Various Maxillary Sinus Antrostomy Techniques on Modifying the Ventilation and Air-Conditioning Characteristics of the Maxillary Sinus: A Numerical Study
Authors: Han Seung Cheol , Na Yang , Won Tae-Bin
Published: July 2023

Background and Objectives: Endoscopic sinus surgery is commonly performed for maxillary sinus (MS) disease, and the surgical extent of the MS medial wall or ostium varies. We examined the effect of MS surgery on nasal airflow and air-conditioning using computational fluid dynamics in five nasal cavity numerical models.Methods: Four types of unilateral virtual MS surgery were conducted on the right MS based on computed tomography images of a 49-year-old man with normal anatomy. The five models were as follows: baseline (normal), middle meatal antrostomy (MMA), MMA with inferior meatal antrostomy (MMA+IMA), mega-antrostomy (MEGA), and endoscopic medial maxillectomy (EMM). Virtual simulator software and a stereoscopic display with haptic device were used for virtual surgery. Meshing software and computer fluid dynamics software were used to generate meshes and analyze airflow.Results: The MMA and MMA+IMA results were similar to the baseline model. However, EMM and MEGA exhibited some physiological changes. The amount of airflow moving into the MS was largest in the EMM model, followed by the MEGA model. The distributions of wall shear stress and surface water-vapor increased near the enlarged MS ostium in EMM and MEGA. Skewed airflow partition and different airflow rates between the operated and unoperated sites of the nose also changed the air-conditioning characteristics. EMM substantially reduced the relative humidity in the nasopharynx, and MEGA showed a smaller reduction.Conclusion: Among four surgery techniques, EMM produced the largest increase in wall shear stress and surface water vapor flux on the posterior surface of the MS and the greatest deterioration in the nasal cavity’s air-conditioning capacity. MEGA reduced the local airflow disturbance inside the MS and prevented excessive degeneration of the cavity’s overall air-conditioning capacity. In conclusion, MEGA and modified EMM approaches have physiological advantages over EMM, while securing a sufficient spatial extent of resection for surgery.
Minimum Support Price under the Aegis of Universal Basic Income: Understanding the Implications and Way Forward: A Review
Authors: Balkrishna Acharya , Arya Vedpriya , Singh Sumit Kumar
Published: July 2023

For several decades, the Indian government has established a minimum support price (MSP) program for agricultural commodities to alleviate farmers’ price risks. Concerns have been expressed regarding the MSP approach, which can potentially disrupt market integration of agricultural commodities, change pricing incentives and alter the resource allocation and production among commodities. This review article addresses the current situation of agricultural commodity support pricing, how it can be more successful and whether it can be guaranteed. Following the Indian government’s decision to repeal the three agricultural legislations, it has become increasingly clear that the MSP system needs a significant revision and that a change in discourse is must. MSP poses serious ramifications for soil health and water levels, particularly in rainfed regions that are quickly being converted to irrigated areas. A course correction is required, beginning with the demand and supply balance, while protecting farmers’ interests through remunerative prices and assistance as and when needed. In addition to the use of data-driven technologies for the digitization of land records, issuing unique farm IDs and cropping system analysis, the necessity of pricing differential schemes in India has been explored.

Published: July 2023

This article discusses the effectiveness of Turnitin scanning at the Faculty of Tarbiyah and Teacher Training at UIN Maulana Malik Ibrahim Malang which was carried out at the Research and Academic Writing Center (Pusat Penelitian dan Academic Writing, PPAW) on student proposals and thesis. The existence of Turnitin scanning itself is due to seeing the phenomenon of plagiarism among students which until now has been included in the category of concern, so efforts are needed to prevent the negative behavior in the world of education. This article is the result of research that uses a qualitative approach, which is carried out by analyzing the data from Turnitin proposals and thesis for FITK students at PPAW. With purposive sampling method, there are three sample study programs, namely Islamic Religious Education (PAI), Islamic Education Teacher Education (PGMI), and Social Science Education (PIPS). The data analysis in this study uses Miles and Huberman's data analysis techniques, namely data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. There are two conclusions, first, the Turnitin scanning process at PPAW begins with sending proposals and student thesis through the google form that has been provided previously. When getting the similarity results as determined, the student will be sent a plagiarism-free certificate. However, if they fail, the student will be given information regarding this and sent a scan of Turnitin as revision material. The process from start to finish takes 1-5 working days. For students who fail, the submission of new revisions can be done after seven days. Second, it can be concluded in general that Turnitin scanning in PPAW is effective in tackling plagiarism among students, even though there are various delinquency committed by them, namely reducing or adding letters, changing into images, using inappropriate direct quotations, deleting parts that have high similarity, and sending revisions that are not in accordance with a predetermined schedule. Finally, to be more effective, this study recommends several further policies, namely sending in word form with a few exceptions for pages with image formats, examining all files and changing the color to black, making Turnitin scanned files as manuscripts for proposal seminars and munaqasyah, and lastly, providing training on how to write good scientific papers.
Mediterreanization as a Developmental Phase of Media in Transitional Democracies: Case of Georgia
Authors: Maisashvili Khathouna , Mumladze Ketevan
Published: July 2023

For almost three decades, there has been ongoing analysis of post-communist transitional media as a mutual product of Soviet ideological legacy and Western liberal values in the West, as well as in the post-Soviet sphere. In the transition period, media pluralism has become a common occurrence in contrast with the Soviet period. Reforms directed from the top are rendered arbitrary, and as a result, the unpredictable process gained momentum and was the last straw to end the Soviet Union. What are the specific elements of Mediterraneanization that are clearly expressed in the Georgian reality and what spot should Georgia’s media occupy on the map of systems? To answer this question, emphasis should be placed on specific issues such as the influence of the state and political parties on the media agenda, integration of media and political elites, professionalization of journalism, as well as the sociocultural context of the period of independence. This paper focuses on answering these questions. The present study is the compilation of quantitative and qualitative approaches. 12 media researchers and theoreticians, mainly teachers of Georgian higher education institutions, were selected for the research along with the review of the scientific literature and theory related to the issue. The semi-structured interviews, based on a preliminary questionnaire, were conducted with each researcher. The experts’ responses were processed and compared according to quantitative and qualitative characteristics. Text material was condensed and key messages were highlighted. On the basis of the results, their interpretation and cause-and-effect connection was made.
Stratégies d’Approvisionnement en Eau dans les Opérations de Construction en Périphérie Urbaine de Daloa
Authors: Miguel Eleazarus Atsé Laudose
Published: July 2023

Daloa connaît une inconstance de la desserte en eau potable, notamment dans ses périphéries en pleine mutation avec les opérations de construction d’habitat nécessitant un besoin important d’eau. Comment les constructeurs dans ces quartiers s’approvisionnent-ils en eau ? Cette étude quantitative et qualitative se propose d’analyser les stratégies d’approvisionnement en eau dans les chantiers d’habitat des périphéries urbaines, de même que leur impact socio-économique et spatial. La méthodologie repose sur la recherche documentaire soutenue par une enquête de terrain. À terme, les quartiers périphériques de Daloa sont dépourvus du réseau d’adduction d’eau potable, imposant aux constructeurs de logements des pratiques compensatoires. À défaut de disposer d’un puits traditionnel sur le chantier, ils ont recours à l’achat d’eau auprès de camionneurs-livreurs. La chaine de service de l’achat d’eau part de points d’eau disséminés dans l’espace urbain où des véhicules assignés se ravitaillent en eau, puis desservent les chantiers. En plus de structurer l’espace urbain, cette activité en organisation informelle est source d’emplois et de revenus.

 

Daloa is experiencing inconsistent drinking water supply, particularly in its peripheries, which are undergoing major changes with housing construction operations requiring a significant amount of water. How do builders in these areas obtain water? The aim of this quantitative and qualitative study is to analyze water supply strategies in housing construction projects on the outskirts of cities. The methodology is based on documentary research supported by a field survey. In the long term, the peripheral neighborhoods of Daloa are deprived of the drinking water network, imposing compensatory practices on housing builders. In the absence of a traditional well on the building site, they resort to buying water from delivery trucks. The service chain of water purchase starts from water points scattered in the urban space where assigned vehicles refill with water and then serve the construction sites. In addition to structuring the urban space, this informally organized activity is a source of employment and income.
Henrik Ibsen’s The Wild Duck: A Research-Based Study of the Psychosocial Risk Factors of Hedvig’s Suicide
Authors: Fahes Safaa
Published: July 2023

Adolescent suicide, an issue raised in literature, represents a key moment in Henrik Ibsen’s play, The Wild Duck. Even though the literature available on the play refers to the suicidal act performed by Hedvig by accusing either mysterious fate or particular characters of driving the girl to her doom, the interpretations are apparently few and far between and do not provide analysis of the reasons behind the suicide in one detailed research. This paper, thus, provides a comprehensive study of these factors, using a qualitative analysis of the play that relies on study results gleaned from both sociological and psychological researches examining the risk factors that aggravate the probability of suicide in adolescents. Based on this approach, the paper reveals the role of family conflicts, neglect, personal susceptibility in adolescence, isolation, impaired schooling, economic hardship, and inclination towards self-sacrifice for the sake of the family, in causing the adolescent girl’s death by suicide in the closing scene of the play. The significance of this research lies in its contribution to a deeper understanding of suicide in literary works. The implications of the study extend beyond the realm of literature, giving more insight into the driving forces behind suicide in adolescents, in the hope that intervention methods may alleviate such factors.

Exploring the Relationship Between Cybersecurity Culture and Cyber-Crime Prevention: A Systematic Review
Authors: DE SILVA Banuka
Published: July 2023

Cybercrime requires a multidimensional approach addressing technical, organisational, and human factors to prevent cyber-attacks. This systematic review highlights the significance of a strong cybersecurity culture in mitigating the risks of cyberattacks and enhancing an organisation's resilience. Implementing training and awareness programmes, establishing leadership support and accountability mechanisms, and fostering employee engagement are strategies for promoting a strong cybersecurity culture. However, fostering a robust culture of cybersecurity can be challenging and requires the participation of various stakeholders. Training and awareness programmes can significantly improve employee cybersecurity knowledge and behaviour, and leadership support is essential for establishing a cybersecurity culture. It is possible to enforce employee compliance with cybersecurity policies and procedures through accountability mechanisms, such as consequences for noncompliance and periodic security audits. Involving employees in the creation of cybersecurity policies and procedures, as well as recognising and rewarding responsible behaviour, can increase employee engagement and investment in cybersecurity. Although technical measures such as firewalls and encryption are essential for defending against cyber-attacks, a strong cybersecurity culture is necessary to mitigate cybercrime risks and enhance an organisation's resilience. Future research should identify and evaluate effective strategies for cultivating a robust cybersecurity culture in the context of preventing cybercrime. Cybersecurity should be a top priority for businesses and individuals, who must take preventative measures against cyber-attacks. By fostering a robust culture of cybersecurity, businesses can increase their resilience and reduce the risks of cybercrime.

Published: July 2023

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic situation has had an impact on the higher education system in Indonesia. It created an online learning ecosystem to enact the essential role of cognitive engagement by students. This qualitative research utilized multimodal data collection to examine students' voices to assess how they perceived the cognitive engagement dimension during emergency remote teaching (ERT). Data were gathered from 60 students from three higher education institutions in Indonesia's urban areas. The findings revealed that the ERT environment requires students to self-regulate their learning by employing their preferred strategies to comprehend the material. Moreover, they engage in meaningful learning by relating content to their prior experiences and knowledge. Students also believe that teachers play a vital role in ERT as authoritative figures and focal learning points. They view teachers as ­the main agents for fostering and enhancing their cognitive engagement. This study draws attention to the need for continuous teacher professional development in ERT by concentrating on students' needs.

Published: July 2023

Pengembangan eduwisata maggot memerlukan kerjasama banyak pihak untuk dilakukan. Konsep Kolaborasi antar sektor (pemerintah, akademisi, bisnis, masyarakat) menjadi kunci dalam menggerakkan kreatifitas dan inovasi pengembangan eduwisata. Kolaborasi yang ideal adalah menghasilkan interaksi yang setara dan saling berbagi pengetahuan. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan deskriptif kualitatif. Teknik penelitian dilakukan dengan wawancara, Forum Grup Discussion studi dokumentasi dan observasi. Hasil penelitian ini diperoleh bentuk kerjasama kolaboratif antar elemen Quadruple Helix di desa Sekaran dalam pengembangan eduwisata maggot. Model empat helix ini dinilai efektif karena memberi ruang yang seimbang kepada seluruh stakeholder yang ada, terutama masyarakat yang seringkali hanya diposisikan sebagai obyek. Melalui model ini, selain menciptakan inovasi konsep wisata edukasi, diharapkan juga dapat memaksimalkan potensi desa yang berdampak pada peningkatan ekonomi masyarakat desa.

In this study, the effect of demographic, laboratory and clinicopathological parameters along with neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) on prognosis and survival and correlation with other parameters was researched in patients with malignant melanoma (MM) diagnosis. In our study, 107 patients monitored for MM diagnosis in Eskişehir Osmangazi University Medical Oncology clinic from 2010-2017 were retrospectively assessed. Age, gender, LDH level, pathological parameters, BRAF mutation status, neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and the effects of these parameters on overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) and correlations with each other were researched. At time of diagnosis, 86% of patients were in the early stage. The dominant types identified were cutaneous MM and nodular MM. Median NLR cut-off value was identified as 1.97. All non-cutaneous MM cases were BRAF negative (p<0.0001). High NLR was associated with advanced stage (p=0.001), advanced age (p=0.008), ulceration presence (p=0.011), and high mitosis count (p=0.05). High NLR (p<0.0001), high LDH level (p=0.04), increased Breslow thickness (p=0.01), increased Clark level (p=0.01), high mitosis count (p=0.02), and lymph node (LN) involvement (p=0.04) were correlated with significantly shorter OS durations. Cox multivariate regression analysis identified the most effective independent parameters on OS were LN involvement (HR: 3.4, p=0.01) and high NLR (HR: 4.6, p=0.04). Nodal involvement was also identified as the most predictive independent parameter for recurrence (HR: 3.2, p=0.03). In addition to classic parameters, NLR appears to be a biomarker which can predict prognosis. Patients with nodal involvement and high NLR values should be monitored more closely in clinics. Data require support with broad-scale studies.

COVID-19 solunum sistemini etkileyen bir hastalık olarak ortaya çıkmış olsa da, artan veriler solunum sistemi ile sınırlı olmadığını, hem merkezi hem de periferik sinir sistemini de etkilediğini göstermektedir. Pandemi olarak ilan edilmesi ve birçok insanı etkilemesi nedeniyle, kronik nörolojik hastalığı olan hastalarda COVID-19 sırasında ve/veya sonrasında hastalığın seyri ve tedavi planı ile ilgili bilgiler giderek önem kazanmaktadır. COVID-19 pozitif olması nedeniyle enfeksiyon hastalıkları servisine yatırılan 42 yaşındaki erkek hasta, solunum ve yutma güçlüğü, dört ekstremitede güçsüzlük şikayeti ile değerlendirildi. Nörolojik muayenesinde dört taraflı kas gücü 3/5 ve dört ekstremitede yaygın hipoestezi saptandı. Derin tendon refleksleri genellikle yoktu. Hastamızın ilk şikayetleri 6 yıl önce başlamış, tipik klinik özellikleri, elektrofizyolojik bulguları sonucunda 2 yıl sonra CIDP tanısı konmuştu. Bu vaka raporunda, COVID-19 ve kronik inflamatuar demiyelinizan polinöropatili (KİDP) bir hastayı paylaşıyoruz ve COVID-19 ile KİDP'nin klinik kötüleşmesini bildirmeyi amaçladık.

Air pollution is a major concern for the global health crisis due to pulmonary diseases, which include asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), pulmonary fibrosis, pneumonia, lung infections, and lung cancer. Early diagnosis and novel drug delivery systems are the keys to their successful management. Asthma and COPD can be managed more effectively when treated with nanoformulations through the pulmonary route. In lung infections and cancer, targeted drug delivery is crucial in improving therapeutic effectiveness while minimizing systemic side effects. Cystic fibrosis can be treated with gene therapy. It serves as a prime example of the utilization of nanotechnology for developing nonviral vectors. This review provides an overview of the causes of different pulmonary diseases and examines the advancements in nanoscience and nanotechnology for their treatment.

Quadrotors are widely used in transportation, aerial photography, agricultural protection, and other important fields. Nevertheless, quadrotors with a fixed structure will face great challenges when crossing through or entering narrow spaces for operations. To improve quadrotor crossing ability in different environments, a morphing quadrotor is designed in this paper, and four servo motors are added to independently change four arm rotation angles. Meanwhile, the dynamic model and dynamic control allocation matrix are established. In addition, considering that the internal dynamic variation caused by morphologic changes and external disturbances may compromise system stability, a control method based on the generalized proportional integral (GPI) observer is proposed to increase the system robustness, and the corresponding stability analysis is provided. Finally, simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed GPI observer-based active disturbance rejection control method.
Great Reduction in Quantity of Libraries: Particular Management Errors or a General Perspective for the Field (Analysis of the Experience of the Moscow Region)
Authors: Stepanov V. K.
Published: July 2023

The number of libraries around the world and in Russia continues to decline. The regularity of the situation is explained by the loss of real demand for traditional library services – the actual library attendance is rapidly declining. The founders, represented by local regional and municipal administrations, feeling the decline in the role of libraries, are gradually reducing their scale and number. The Moscow region became the Russian leader in 2021 in closing libraries: it liquidated 26 libraries. The closure was initiated by the local Ministry of culture. It was the first case in the country when the founder initiated the planned closure of a network of subordinate institutions. The analysis has shown that in the Moscow region, a clear strategy for the development of libraries was not developed. The main activities, directions, forms and criteria for evaluating work were not defined. Changes in the industry were not reflected in the regional legal documentation, decent funding for the library sector was not provided. Huge advantages of corporate work in the formation of consolidated information resources (primarily an electronic catalog and a digital local history collection) were not realized. The author concludes that the practice of the Moscow region administration serves as a stern warning to librarians for all other subjects of the Federation: the example of the Moscow Region will no doubt be taken up by the authorities of other regions in the country.
The History how State Scientific Library has Turned into Two State Public Scientific Technological Libraries: Chronical 1958
Authors: Posadskov A. L.
Published: July 2023

The article is a documentary essay on the last stage of activity of the State scientific library of the USSR Ministry of Higher Education in 1957–1958 and the creation on its basis in 1958 of two largest modern scientific libraries in Russia. They are the State public scientific technological library of the Siberian branch of the Russian academy of sciences in Novosibirsk and the State public scientific technological library in Moscow. (At that time they were the State public scientific technological library of the Siberian branch of the USSR academy of sciences the State public scientific technological library of the USSR.) It is shown what stages of preparation and the decision implementation has gone through and what obstacles it has faced. The further development of the two State public scientific technological libraries has brought them to the forefront of information and library activities and has shown the correctness of the decision made in 1958.

Published: July 2023

Due to the multiple increase in internal and external challenges to national culture and values, the implementation of educational functions, especially among teen-agers and young people, becomes the key one in maintaining the stability of the moral potential of society. A special place in this issue is occupied by libraries that are not directly related to the education of students as schools and higher educational institutions, but are fully suitable for this through the implementation of their educational function. Enlightenment is closely related to the task of education, since it is a part of users socialization. The aim of the article is to show the need to revive the direction of training librarians in higher educational institutions, who would have the competence to solve strategic tasks of the state cultural and educational policy for the protection, preservation and strengthening of traditional values and Russian identity, especially when working with children and youth.
