Imaging Manifestation and Pathological Comparison of the Peritoneal
Loose Body: A Case Report and Review of the Literature
Authors: Li Xiaoran , Wu Hui , Wang Shuwen , Wu Jing , Chen Yu-Chen
Published: November 2022

Background:

Peritoneal loose body (PLB) which is also called "peritoneal mouse" is a rare
disease, with only a few cases reported. PLB is mostly found due to unplanned examination, surgery,
or autopsy. With the increase in abdominal imaging examinations, it was gradually recognized by us.
The diagnosis of PLB has three major characteristics: free movement, no blood supply, and pathological
exclusion of other tumors.

Case Presentation:

We reported a 66-year-old male patient with an asymptomatic freely moving peritoneal
loose body. The size of the lesion was about 4*4cm. The imaging data were complete including
Ultrasound, Magnetic resonance (MR), Computed tomography (CT) plain scan and enhancement. Interestingly,
changes in the location of the lesion were found on follow-up CT. The lesion showed concentric
circles changes on CT without obvious enhancement. MR also appeared as a multi-layer signal
of concentric circles. In addition, the imaging manifestations were compared with histological pathology
in this article to explain imaging characteristics.

Conclusion:

PLB is an uncommon disease. Through the complete imaging examination of this case,
we can further understand the mobility of the lesion by changing the position. The CT and MR have
characteristic concentric circle changes without obvious enhancement. The diagnosis could be confirmed
before surgery, which prompted the clinical early diagnosis of the disease, and an appropriate
choice between surgery and conservative treatment.
Evaluation of Stress and Strain on Mandible Caused by Using “All-on-Four” System from PEEK in Hybrid Prosthesis: Finite Element Analysis
Authors: Shash Yomna H. , Elwakad Mohamed T. , Eldosoky Mohamed A. A. , Dohiem Mohamed M.
Published: November 2022

Background

Hybrid prostheses have recently been used to restore the mastication mechanism. These prostheses utilize the “All on four” concept, in which four implants are inserted into the jaw bone and supported by bar. Titanium is usually used in the production of “All on four” parts due to its good mechanical properties, however, it has drawbacks such as aesthetic impairment, casting issues, stress shielding, and incompatibility with imaging techniques. These drawbacks have prompted researchers to find alternative materials (e.g. polymers). Recently, the new polymeric material PEEK, has a major role in dentistry due to its biocompatibility, shock-absorbing ability, and good mechanical and chemical properties. The density of spongy bone is expected to influence the choice of “All on four” material.

Objective

This work used the finite element method to conduct stress /strain analysis on a mandible rehabilitated with a hybrid prosthesis, by using PEEK in the production of “All on four” parts instead of titanium, using different densities of spongy bone.

Methods

3D mandibular model with a hybrid prosthesis was constructed, then “All on four” parts were stimulated with titanium and PEEK materials under different mastication mechanisms.

Results

PEEK material reduced the stresses and strains on bone tissues and increased the mucosal stress compared to titanium. Consequently, this material was recommended to be used in producing “All on four” parts, especially in the low-density model.

Conclusions

The density of spongy bone influenced the choice of “All on four” material. Moreover, further researches on PEEK implants and abutments are required in near future.
The Relevance of Human Cytomegalovirus and Epstein-Barr Virus infections in Febrile Neutropenic Patients with Hematological Malignancy
Authors: Mohammed Ahmed Hasan
Published: November 2022

Background:

viral infections are commonly detected in the patients with neutropenia and hematological malignancies. Human Cytomegalovirus (HCMV) and Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) are reported in the association with many types of hematological malignancies and they have clinical relevance in the febrile neutropenia.

Patients and Methods:

Fifty patients with febrile neutropenia and hematological malignancies whether receiving prophylaxis antibiotic and chemotherapy treatment or not have been enrolled in this study. Blood sample was collected for viral DNA extraction, then conventional PCR and gel electrophoresis were performed to detect HCMV and EBV DNA in the patient’s samples.

Results:

Acute Myeloid Leukemia is the most leukemic type 25 (50%) of hematological malignancies. There was no association between the presence of HCMV and EBV DNA and febrile neutropenia and the results showed presence of 1 sample positive from 50 sample (2%) for each of HCMV and EBV.

Conclusion:

Although small percentage of patients in the current study showed positive finding for HCMV and EBV DNA, but this does not diminish the importance of further studies to look for the role of these viruses and the investigation of other viruses that can increase the disease burden at patients with febrile neutropenia and hematological malignancies.

Authors: Zaki Maysaa El Sayed , Faried Osama Ahmed , Montaseer Karim
Published: November 2022

Background and Aim:

Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) had appeared in the last few decades and became a significant health problem. The study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of class 1 and class 2 integrons among MRSA clinical isolates from different healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) and the prevalence of multi-drug resistance (MDR) in these isolates.

Materials and Methods:

Two hundred Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) isolates from different HAIs were evaluated for the presence of the mecA gene, class 1 (intI1) and class 2 (intI2) integrons via the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) beside the determination of antibiotics sensitivity.

Results:

MRSA was determined by resistance to cefoxitin in 152 isolates (76%) of isolated S. aureus. The molecular study showed the prevalence of mecA, intI1, and intI2 genes among the isolated MRSA strains as follows: 100%, 70.4%, 13.1, respectively, and there were 12 isolates (7.9%) that had both intI1 and intI2 genes. There was a significant high incidence of resistance to gentamicin (P=0.01), amikacin (P=0.005), tobramycin (P=0.035), erythromycin (P=0.035), clindamycin (P=0.08), levofloxacin (P=0.0001) and ciprofloxacin (P=0.0001) in MRSA strains positive for intI1 and/or intI2 genes compared to MRSA strains negative for intI genes and non-methicillin resistant S. aureus (Non- MRSA) strains. There was a significantly high prevalence of MDR among MRSA strains positive for intI1 and/or intI2 genes (62.8%) compared to MRSA strains negative for intI genes (28.8%) and Non- MRSA strains (8.3%), (P=0.0001).

Conclusion:

The present study revealed a high prevalence of MRSA strains among S. aureus clinical isolates with a high prevalence of the mecA gene in those isolates. There was also a high prevalence of intI1gene but not intI2 gene. The mecA and intI genes were associated with the development of MDR in S. aureus.

Authors: MN Kgatla , Mothiba TM , RN Malema , Makgahlela M , Sodi T
Published: November 2022

Background:

Cardiovascular diseases are now the leading cause of death worldwide, amounting to 17,8% of all deaths recorded. In sub-Saharan Africa, it contributes to about 13% of deaths, whereas 80% were recorded from developing countries. A quarter of all deaths are attributable to behavioural and metabolic risk factors due to patients` lack of self-management strategies, which are practices and activities that the patients can use and manage themselves, effectively preventing the development of CVD.

Objective:

The study aimed to explore patients at risk of CVD’s knowledge of self-management strategies to prevent the development of CVD.

Design:

This was a qualitative exploratory and descriptive study conducted in four primary health care settings in two contexts (i.e a rural and peri-urban setting) in the Capricorn District of Limpopo Province, South Africa. The target population were patients with risk factors and diagnosed with either hypertension or diabetes mellitus. Twenty-five patients (male n=9; female n=16) were purposefully sampled and participated in semi-structured individual interviews with a schedule guide. The data was analysed using thematic Tesch’s open coding qualitative data analysis method.

Results:

Thematically analysed data resulted in three main themes and their related subthemes enumerating patients at risk of CVD’s knowledge regarding disease onset, risk factors, and self-management including daily challenges affecting disease progression. The major themes isolated are, 1) Knowledge related to CVD onset, symptoms, and self-management strategies, 2) Challenges experienced by persons at risk of developing CVD, 3) Suggestions to help improve health and the prevention of the onset of CVD.

Conclusion:

The study concludes by recommending in-depth CVD awareness and education programs for patients at risk. More importantly, the provision of mental health awareness, counselling, and equipping patients with coping skills are recommended.

Authors: Hsu 4th Suh-Meei , Lin Jr Shu-Chuan , Yeh 2nd Hui-Tzu , Lee 3rd Yu-Hsia
Published: November 2022

BACKGROUND

In Taiwan, the number of confirmed coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) cases has been rising significantly since May 2021. The second wave of the epidemic occurred in May 2022

OBJECTIVE

This study aimed to describe the process of using eHealth (Hospital Information System) and mHealth (mobile health - social media communities such as Line, WeChat, WhatsApp, and Facebook) to build a medicalized quarantine hotel (MQH) and to gain an understanding of the physical and mental impact of COVID-19 on patients admitted to an MQH.

METHODS

In this retrospective observational study, we gathered data from 357 patients who stayed at the MQH and assessed their psychological symptoms using an online Brief Symptom Rating Scale (BSRS). Descriptive statistics, an independent sample t-test, a univariate analysis of variance, and a multiple linear regression analysis were performed.

RESULTS

The patients’ mean age was 35.5±17.6 years; 52.1% (n=186) of the patients were male. Altogether, 25.2% (n=90) of the patients had virtual visits. The average hotel stay was 6.8±1.4 days, and five patients (0.01%) were transferred back to the hospital. The three most common symptoms were cough, stuffy/runny nose, and sore throat. Most patients achieved a BSRS total score of 0–5 points (3569/91.0%), with trouble falling asleep (0.65±0.65), feeling tense or high-strung (0.31±0.66), and feeling down or depressed (0.27±0.62) being reported frequently. The BSRS total score was the highest on the first day. Sex was significantly correlated with BSRS score(p value<0.001 ).

CONCLUSIONS

The MQH provided medical care. eHealth and mHealth can be used to further monitor an individual’s physiological and psychological states. Early intervention measures are needed to improve health care quality.
Innovation in Rural Development in Bangladesh: A Case of Some Rural Development Institutions
Authors: Rahman Kazi Sonia
Published: November 2022

The conceptual basis for this study can be briefly stated as follows. Any innovation in rural development does not happen simply through the introduction of new technologies and new policies, though they are often quite valuable. It is now argued that the circumstances that lead to innovation are often unplanned, serendipitous, path dependent and as a result, specific to the location. This idea places a lot of emphasis on the ingenuity of entrepreneurs and the like in adapting new and existing ideas to suit their need. These innovations are often part of informal networks that are sources of different ideas and expertise and used in often novel and unexpected ways.

ONLINE RADICALIZATION OF AMERICA’S MALE YOUTH
Authors: Stark Gillian
Published: November 2022

The United States has, in recent years, struggled with the rise of the Alt-Right. A wing of political extremism associated with extreme conservatism, racism, anti-Semitism, and sexist ideals, the target demographic is young, white, Christian males. Multiple mass shootings have been attributed to the ideology and, in tracing its roots, one finds the home of such ideologies to be on online forums such as Reddit, 4chan, and 8chan. This paper analyzes the lax rules and lack of moderation on these sites that makes them a safe place for hateful ideologies. In addition, it finds that the sense of community these potential murders find on such sites can urge them to their hateful acts. Through memes, in-jokes, and manifestoes, the Alt-Right has found a long-term home in these forums.

Based on analysis of already existing research and events, we argue that social media platforms such as Reddit and 4chan function as echo chambers where already radical-thinking individuals and ideologies are validated and encourage further extreme thoughts.We also argue that through trends on mainstream apps such as TikTok,isviolence against women made into a joke and entertainment, leading to a desensitization of the issue, making itharder to tackle.We conclude this paper by summing up thepoints anddiscussing the importance of more active policy targeting these online communities.
ONLINE RADICALIZATION: TWITTER PRIVATIZATION AS A THREAT TO THE MODERN SOCIETY
Authors: Kouba Tomáš
Published: November 2022

Social media plays a key role in the contemporary world, having indefinite power to influence people by just a single post and click of a button, reaching millions of people in a few seconds. In April 2022, Elon Musk announced his step into the world-famous‘wall of opinions’ – Twitter– with words of creating a better, free-speech-based platform with no limitations. Since online radicalization became the easiest and most powerful recruiting tool for terrorist and extremist organizations, this raised concerns about whether this action is beneficial or not. The aim of the paper was to describe the principle of online radicalization and present it via evidence-based examples, as well as transpose the known aspects of Elon Musk’s purchase of Twitter. A comparison study was made between these known examples of radicalization on the Internet, currently used preventive policy principles and possible future steps based on the announcements of Elon Musk himself. Results confirmed that online radicalization is the most effective method for extremists, and that the society and authorities should keep an eye on the development of the platform regarding the real threat of losing control over the content that can be harmful to Twitter users. Free speech is a strong argument for freeing the rules of sharing content, but the ‘dark side’ of this move has to be considered as well.

Kocuria Species: Important Emerging Pathogens in Pediatric Patients
Authors: Taher Noor M.
Published: November 2022

Kocuria spp., are frequently documented members of the human microbiota and were formerly thought to be opportunistic bacteria, initiating infection only in immunocompromised patients. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of Kocuria species in samples from Iraqi pediatric patients, in addition to their sensitivity pattern. Bacterial identification was performed using a VITEK 2 device, and the Kirby-Bauer disk diffusion method was used to determine antibiotic susceptibility. Of 261 positive cultures, we found Kocuria isolates from 7 cases (2.68%). The mean age of the patients was 5.47 years, ranging from 4 months to 10 years; there were 3 males and 4 females. All patients had either urinary tract disease or symptomatic bacteremia. Vitek-2 identification using a gram-positive (GP) card revealed the presence of Kocuria kristinae in five cases, K. rhizophila in one case, and K. rosea in one case. Susceptibility of the Kocuria species isolates to amikacin, gentamicin and ceftazidime were demonstrated 100% resistance. In conclusion, Kocuria species, which are associated with serious clinical manifestations are an emerging health issue and further attention should be taken for appropriate management of antibiotic treatment as they are intrinsically multi-drug resistant.

Authors: Panwar Janhavi , Mahajan Rekha
Published: November 2022

Abstract: Owing to Britain’s colonization and American globalization, English has become the most common medium of communication among most Indians. Since India’s independence in 1947, English has been staying as the language of an elite class, a medium of higher education especially legal terms, and technical terminology. English acts as a lingua franca in the Indian multilingual society. Since India’s Independence, British English has had a perennial effect on the Indian education system. Moreover, international pop culture has exerted an American influence on youngsters’ English accents tremendously. By incorporating the information regarding the differences and similarities between British and Indian English; American and Indian English from distinctive research papers, a few books, and a Qualitative method has been used aiming at the thorough investigation of the intricacies of Indian English as well as the in-depth variations of accents and influences. Above all, the paper concentrates on the characteristics of Indian English and its evolution by discussing the influences of British and American accents and a comparative study of various phonemes in three distinct accents (Indian, British, and American phonetics). Subsequently, the main focus is how English has upsurged in India over the years. To recapitulate, the research has resulted in emphasizing that British English is far more pragmatic than American English.

Authors: Das Anushka
Published: November 2022

Abstract: An MFC or Microbial Fuel Cell is used for treating wastewater and simultaneously helps decolorize azo dyes by using microorganisms as the catalyst. Its primary function is bioelectricity generation, which is very well-established in this field. The degradation of dyes using MFCs has still not been published on a large scale for the bioelectricity generation using the same. This review gives an overview of the whole process and discusses certain factors that might affect the dye degradation process. There are several limitations to this process. The most major one is the high cost of the cathode catalyst. This problem can mainly be solved by making use of a biocathode. The most used microorganisms in this process include Klebsiella, Citrobacter, Enterococcus, and Pseudomonas

This study aims at examining the effects of awareness, knowledge, service quality and tax sanctions on corporate taxpayer compliance. Population in this study consists of corporate taxpayers at Kantor Pelayanan Pajak Pratama Denpasar Barat with a sample of 100 respondents and 3 key informants. Sampling in this study was done using nonprobability sampling method, with incidental sampling technique. The type of research data is primary data, which was obtained through questionnaires answered by corporate taxpayers. Data were analyzed using comparative descriptive qualitative techniques and Multiple Linear Regression Analysis. From the results of the study it was found that: (1) awareness has a positive and significant effect on corporate taxpayer compliance; (2) knowledge has a positive and significant effect on corporate taxpayer compliance; (3) service quality has a positive and significant effect on corporate taxpayer compliance; and (4) tax sanctions have a positive and significant effect on corporate taxpayer compliance. The magnitude of the influence of the independent variable on corporate taxpayer compliance is 71%, while the remaining 29% is influenced by other factors outside the model studied. The results of the descriptive test uncover that corporate taxpayers are categorized as compliant. Whatever the conditions, whether high or low education and the presence or absence of adequate services, taxpayers still carry out their obligations as well as possible, because they already have a good awareness of the importance of paying taxes. Tax sanctions are something frightening and the taxpayers do not want to be subject to it.

UJI EKSPERIMENTAL PEREDAM DI HILIR SLUICE GATE UNTUK PENGENDALIAN LONCATAN HIDRAULIK
Authors: Dyan Eka Nurhayati  , Syamsuri
Published: November 2022

Debit yang mengalir melalui sluice gate dapat menghasilkan loncatan hidraulik. Hal ini disebabkan karena adanya perubahan aliran dari sub kritis menjadi super kritis. Terciptanya loncatan hidraulik dapat menyebabkan erosi atau pengikisan dasar saluran. Maka direncanakan penambahan peredam di hilir sluice gate berbentuk segitiga, trapesium, dan sinusoidal untuk mengontrol profil aliran dan panjang loncatan hidraulik. Tujuan penelitian ini yaitu untuk mempelajari perilaku hidraulika pada loncatan hidraulik di hilir sluice gate berupa tinggi dan panjang loncatan hidraulik. Sehingga hasil penelitian ini dapat digunakan sebagai pertimbangan dalam mendesain sluice gate dan bangunan pelengkap. Uji eksperimental ini dilakukan empat percobaan. Model 0 merupakan desain awal tanpa peredam di hilir sluice gate, model 1 menggunakan peredam segitiga, model 2 menggunakan peredam trapesium, dan model 3 menggunakan peredam sinusoidal. Hasil pemodelan akan dianalisa menggunakan indikator yang diukur, yaitu tinggi bukaan sluice gate (Y1), tinggi loncatan hidraulik (Y2), dan panjang loncatan hidraulik (Lj). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa faktor peredam di hilir sluice gate mempengaruhi tinggi dan panjang loncatan hidraulik. Semakin kasar bentuk peredam, maka kontrol loncatan hidraulik semakin efektif. Dengan berkurangnya nilai Y2 dan Lj pada Model 1 hingga Model 3, maka hal tersebut mempengaruhi kebutuhan panjang lantai transisi untuk aliran superkritis kembali menjadi sub kritis. Pada penelitian ini didapatkan efisiensi penurunan Y2 terbesar pada Model 3, nilai Y2 yang semula 0.11 m menjadi 0.075 m. Efisiensi sebesar 31.82% ini menghasilkan panjang loncatan hidraulik (Lj) sebesar 0.16 m dan kebutuhan panjang lantai (Ld) 0.38 m.

On contraction coefficients, partial orders and approximation of capacities for quantum channels
Authors: Hirche Christoph , Rouzé Cambyse , Stilck França Daniel
Published: November 2022

The data processing inequality is the most basic requirement for any meaningful measure of information. It essentially states that distinguishability measures between states decrease if we apply a quantum channel and is the centerpiece of many results in information theory. Moreover, it justifies the operational interpretation of most entropic quantities. In this work, we revisit the notion of contraction coefficients of quantum channels, which provide sharper and specialized versions of the data processing inequality. A concept closely related to data processing is partial orders on quantum channels. First, we discuss several quantum extensions of the well-known less noisy ordering and relate them to contraction coefficients. We further define approximate versions of the partial orders and show how they can give strengthened and conceptually simple proofs of several results on approximating capacities. Moreover, we investigate the relation to other partial orders in the literature and their properties, particularly with regard to tensorization. We then examine the relation between contraction coefficients with other properties of quantum channels such as hypercontractivity. Next, we extend the framework of contraction coefficients to general f-divergences and prove several structural results. Finally, we consider two important classes of quantum channels, namely Weyl-covariant and bosonic Gaussian channels. For those, we determine new contraction coefficients and relations for various partial orders.

The aim of this work is to evaluate the effect of hydrothermal treatment on the physicochemical properties of cocoyam flour.  Harvested cocoyam (Colocasia esculenta) was sorted, peeled, washed, sliced, washed, blanched at temperature 60 ̊ C, 80 ̊ C and 100 ̊ C and soaked at different time of 12 hours, 24 hours and 48 hours after then oven dried. The dried samples were milled into flour labelled A, B, and C at three replicates (3×3×3=27) with unblanched and unsoaked sample D as control. The samples were packaged for analysis. Result showed that at temperature 60 ̊ C for soaking time 12 hours, 24 hours and 48 hours, the moisture content are 4.16 %, 3.62 % and 5.01 %,  fat 5.22 %, 5.22 % and 4.72 %, crude fibre 0.98 %, 0.99 % and 0.53 %, protein 1.75 %, 1.47 % and 1.61 %. It is concluded that hydrothermal treatment of cocoyam (colocasia esculenta)  can modify the physicochemical properties of flour produced. However, the minimum effect occurred at 60 ̊ C compared to 80 ̊ C and 100 ̊ C .thus, the quality of cocoyam flour can be improved using blanching temperature 60 ̊ C and 12 hours soaking time.

Published: November 2022

This study aims to determine the arrangements, similarities and differences in the prosecution authority regulated in the Indonesian Criminal Procedure Code and The Criminal Procedure Code 1934 Thailand. The results show that there are differences in the authority to prosecute between Indonesia and Thailand. In Thailand, it is not only the public prosecutor who can prosecute criminal cases because the criminal procedure code also regulates the victim's right to prosecute criminal cases that happened to him/her through a private prosecution process or through a joint prosecutor. It is hoped that the existence of regulations regarding the authority for victims to be actively involved in the criminal justice process can guarantee protection for the rights of victims which have been neglected by the state so as to restore public confidence in the Indonesian criminal justice process.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaturan, persamaan dan perbedaan kewenangan penuntutan yang diatur dalam Kitab Undang-Undang Hukum Acara Pidana Indonesia dan The Criminal Procedure Code 1934. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa adanya perbedaan pada pengaturan wewenang untuk melakukan penuntutan antara negara Indonesia dan Thailand. Di Thailand, yang dapat melakukan penuntutan perkara pidana bukan hanya penuntut umum karena the criminal procedure code juga mengatur hak korban untuk mengajukan penuntutan perkara pidana yang terjadi kepadanya melalui proses penuntutan pribadi (private prosecution) atau melalui penuntutan bersama (joint prosecutor). Diharapkan dengan adanya peraturan mengenai wewenang bagi korban untuk terlibat aktif didalam proses peradilan pidana dapat menjamin perlindungan bagi hak-hak korban yang selama ini terabaikan oleh negara sehingga dapat mengembalikan kepercayaan masyarakat terhadap proses peradilan pidana Indonesia.
