Multipotentiality of Luliconazole against Various Fungal Strains: Novel Topical Formulations and Patent Review
Authors: Mahajan Ayushi , Kaur Lakhvir , Singh Gurjeet , Dhawan Ravi Kumar , Singh Lovepreet
Published: November 2021

Luliconazole is a broad-spectrum antifungal agent with impactful
fungicidal and fungistatic activity. It has shown exceptional potency against miscellaneous
fungal strains like Candida, Aspergillus, Malassezia, Fusarium species
and various dermatophytes. Luliconazole belongs to class II of the Biopharmaceutical
Classification System with low aqueous solubility. Although it is available
conventionally as 1% w/v topical cream, it has limitations of lower skin
permeation and shorter skin retention. Therefore, nanoformulations based on various
polymers and nanostructure carriers can be employed to overcome the impediments
regarding topical delivery and efficacy of luliconazole. In this review, we
have tried to provide insight into the literature gathered from authentic web resources
and research articles regarding recent research conducted on the subject
of formulation development, patents, and future research requisites of luliconazole.
Nanoformulations can play a fundamental role in improving topical delivery
by escalating dermal localization and skin penetration. Fabricating luliconazole
into nanoformulations can overcome the drawbacks and can efficiently enhance
its antimycotic activity. It has been concluded that luliconazole has exceptional
potential in the treatment of various fungal infections, and therefore, it
should be exploited to its maximum for its innovative application in the field of
mycology.

BACKGROUND

The role of fluorodeoxyglucose–positron emission tomography/computed tomography (FDG-PET/CT) in indolent lymphoma has been minimally studied.

OBJECTIVE

This study aims to assess the value of FDG-PET/CT in predicting the prognosis of indolent lymphoma.

METHODS

We prospectively recruited 42 patients with indolent lymphoma. A total of 2 patients were excluded, and 40 underwent baseline PET/CT and follow-up at various time points. A total of 9 patients were observed only, 7 received 4 doses of rituximab alone, and 24 received chemoimmunotherapy. Metabolic response on follow-up PET/CT was assessed using the maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax) and Deauville criteria (DC). We aimed to obtain the best SUVmax and DC to predict optimal survival rates, risk stratification, and optimize therapeutic strategies. The mean follow-up from the initial diagnosis was 33.83 months.

RESULTS

SUVmax <4.35 at interim PET/CT provided the best discrimination, with a progression-free survival (PFS) of 100% and a median survival time of 106.67 months compared with SUVmax ≥4.35 (P=.04), which had a PFS of 43.8% and a median survival time of 50.17 months. This cutoff was also valuable in predicting overall survival at baseline, that is, 100% overall survival with baseline SUVmax <4.35, versus 58.4% for SUVmax ≥4.35 (P=.13). The overall survival of patients with a baseline DC score <3.0 was 100%, with a median overall survival of 106.67 months.

CONCLUSIONS

We demonstrated the utility of PET/CT in indolent lymphomas. SUVmax (<4.35 vs ≥4.35) on interim PET/CT performed best in predicting PFS.

Population Health Surveillance Using Mobile Phone Surveys in Low- and Middle-Income Countries: Methodology and Sample Representativeness of a Cross-sectional Survey of Live Poultry Exposure in Bangladesh (Preprint)
Authors: Berry Isha , Mangtani Punam , Rahman Mahbubur , Khan Iqbal Ansary , Sarkar Sudipta , Naureen Tanzila , Greer Amy L , Morris Shaun K , Fisman David N , Flora Meerjady Sabrina
Published: November 2021

BACKGROUND

Population-based health surveys are typically conducted using face-to-face household interviews in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). However, telephone-based surveys are cheaper, faster, and can provide greater access to hard-to-reach or remote populations. The rapid growth in mobile phone ownership in LMICs provides a unique opportunity to implement novel data collection methods for population health surveys.

OBJECTIVE

This study aims to describe the development and population representativeness of a mobile phone survey measuring live poultry exposure in urban Bangladesh.

METHODS

A population-based, cross-sectional, mobile phone survey was conducted between September and November 2019 in North and South Dhaka City Corporations (DCC), Bangladesh, to measure live poultry exposure using a stratified probability sampling design. Data were collected using a computer-assisted telephone interview platform. The call operational data were summarized, and the participant data were weighted by age, sex, and education to the 2011 census. The demographic distribution of the weighted sample was compared with external sources to assess population representativeness.

RESULTS

A total of 5486 unique mobile phone numbers were dialed, with 1047 respondents completing the survey. The survey had an overall response rate of 52.2% (1047/2006) and a co-operation rate of 89.0% (1047/1176). Initial results comparing the sociodemographic profile of the survey sample to the census population showed that mobile phone sampling slightly underrepresented older individuals and overrepresented those with higher secondary education. After weighting, the demographic profile of the sample population matched well with the latest DCC census population profile.

CONCLUSIONS

Probability-based mobile phone survey sampling and data collection methods produced a population-representative sample with minimal adjustment in DCC, Bangladesh. Mobile phone–based surveys can offer an efficient, economic, and robust way to conduct surveillance for population health outcomes, which has important implications for improving population health surveillance in LMICs.
The Relationship Between Electronic Health Record System and Performance on Quality Measures in the American College of Rheumatology’s Rheumatology Informatics System for Effectiveness (RISE) Registry: Observational Study (Preprint)
Authors: Hammam Nevin , Izadi Zara , Li Jing , Evans Michael , Kay Julia , Shiboski Stephen , Schmajuk Gabriela , Yazdany Jinoos
Published: November 2021

BACKGROUND

Routine collection of disease activity (DA) and patient-reported outcomes (PROs) in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) are nationally endorsed quality measures and critical components of a treat-to-target approach. However, little is known about the role electronic health record (EHR) systems play in facilitating performance on these measures.

OBJECTIVE

Using the American College Rheumatology’s (ACR’s) RISE registry, we analyzed the relationship between EHR system and performance on DA and functional status (FS) quality measures.

METHODS

We analyzed data collected in 2018 from practices enrolled in RISE. We assessed practice-level performance on quality measures that require DA and FS documentation. Multivariable linear regression and zero-inflated negative binomial models were used to examine the independent effect of EHR system on practice-level quality measure performance, adjusting for practice characteristics and patient case-mix.

RESULTS

In total, 220 included practices cared for 314,793 patients with RA. NextGen was the most commonly used EHR system (34.1%). We found wide variation in performance on DA and FS quality measures by EHR system (median 30.1, IQR 0-74.8, and median 9.0, IQR 0-74.2), respectively). Even after adjustment, NextGen practices performed significantly better than Allscripts on the DA measure (51.4% vs 5.0%; P<.05) and significantly better than eClinicalWorks and eMDs on the FS measure (49.3% vs 29.0% and 10.9%; P<.05).

CONCLUSIONS

Performance on national RA quality measures was associated with the EHR system, even after adjusting for practice and patient characteristics. These findings suggest that future efforts to improve quality of care in RA should focus not only on provider performance reporting but also on developing and implementing rheumatology-specific standards across EHRs.

Patients’ and Health Care Workers’ Perception of Migraine Images on the Internet: Cross-sectional Survey Study (Preprint)
Authors: Raffaelli Bianca , Kull Pia , Mecklenburg Jasper , Overeem Lucas Hendrik , Storch Elisabeth , Terhart Maria , Neeb Lars , Reuter Uwe
Published: November 2021

BACKGROUND

The representation of migraine in the media is stereotypical. Standard images of migraine attacks display stylish young women holding their head in a pain pose. This representation may contribute to the social stigmatization of patients with migraine.

OBJECTIVE

We aimed to analyze how patients with migraine and health care workers perceive online images of migraine.

METHODS

The study consisted of an anonymous web-based survey of patients with migraine at the Headache Center of Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin (migraine group) and employees and students at our university (health care group). A total of 10 frequently used Adobe Stock photos of migraine attacks were presented to the participants. Each photo was rated on a scale of 0% to 100% based on how closely it resembled a realistic migraine attack (realism score). Patients with migraine also indicated how much each photo corresponded to their own experience of migraine as a percentage (representation score). We calculated the mean realism and representation scores for all photos and conducted further analyses using the categories male or female models, younger or older models, and unilateral or bilateral pain pose.

RESULTS

A total of 367 patients with migraine and 331 health care employees and students completed the survey. In both groups, the mean realism score was <50% (migraine group: 47.8%, SD 18.3%; health care group: 46.0%, SD 16.2%). Patients with migraine identified their own migraine experience in these photos to a lesser degree (mean representation score 44.4%, SD 19.8%; P<.001 when compared to the realism score). Patients and health care workers considered photos with male models to be more realistic than photos with females (P<.001) and photos with older models to be more realistic than those with younger people (P<.001). In the health care group only, a bilateral pain posture was deemed more realistic than a unilateral pose (P<.001).

CONCLUSIONS

Standard images of migraine attacks are considered only slightly or moderately realistic by patients and health care workers. Some characteristics perceived as more realistic such as male sex or older age are in contrast with migraine epidemiology. A more accurate representation of migraine in the media could help to raise awareness for migraine and reduce the associated stigma.

Authors: Bakhoum Christine Y. , Katz Ronit , Samuels Joshua A. , Al-Rousan Tala , Furth Susan L. , Ix Joachim H. , Garimella Pranav S.
Published: November 2021

Background and objectives

The physiologic nocturnal BP decline is often blunted in patients with CKD; however, the consequences of BP nondipping in children are largely unknown. Our objective was to determine risk factors for nondipping and to investigate if nondipping is associated with higher left ventricular mass index in children with CKD.

Design, setting, participants, & measurements

We conducted a cross-sectional analysis of ambulatory BP monitoring and echocardiographic data in participants of the Chronic Kidney Disease in Children study. Multivariable linear and spline regression analyses were used to evaluate the relationship of risk factors with dipping and of dipping with left ventricular mass index.

Results

Within 552 participants, mean age was 11 (±4) years, mean eGFR was 53 (±20) ml/min per 1.73 m2, and 41% were classified as nondippers. In participants with nonglomerular CKD, female sex and higher sodium intake were significantly associated with less systolic and diastolic dipping (P≤0.05). In those with glomerular CKD, Black race and greater proteinuria were significantly associated with less systolic and diastolic dipping (P≤0.05). Systolic dipping and diastolic dipping were not significantly associated with left ventricular mass index; however, in spline regression plots, diastolic dipping appeared to have a nonlinear relationship with left ventricular mass index. As compared with diastolic dipping of 20%–25%, dipping of <20% was associated with 1.41-g/m2.7-higher left ventricular mass index (95% confidence interval, −0.47 to 3.29), and dipping of >25% was associated with 1.98-g/m2.7-higher left ventricular mass index (95% confidence interval, −0.77 to 4.73), although these relationships did not achieve statistical significance.

Conclusions

Black race, female sex, and greater proteinuria and sodium intake were significantly associated with blunted dipping in children with CKD. We did not find a statistically significant association between dipping and left ventricular mass index.

Daño social, neoliberalismo y la pandemia del Covid-19 en América latina
Authors:   Consultor independiente, Martínez-Gómez Ciro , Parraguez-Camus Carla ,   Consultora independiente
Published: November 2021

El presente artículo trata de poner en evidencia cómo los daños que se han fraguado en las eco-nomías y las sociedades de América Latina a lo largo de más de cuatro décadas de vigencia del modelo neoliberal, potencian ampliamente los impactos negativos de la pandemia del Covid-19. Tomando como ejemplos a Santiago y Bogotá, se examina cómo los daños del neoliberalismo actúan, por un lado, de forma directa sobre los sistemas de salud, mediante el total desmonte de la capacidad para atender objetivos de salud pública y la segregación del acceso. Por otro lado, cómo los daños económicos y sociales del modelo se traducen en altos niveles de inequidad y pobreza, principalmente en dimensiones como la informalidad, los bajos niveles educativos, el hacinamiento y las limitaciones de acceso a servicios, que no sólo producen mayores niveles de contagio y de muertes, sino que también limitan la sostenibilidad y efectividad de las políticas.

Authors: Sardá Lloga Eduardo Antonio
Published: November 2021

La oralidad es uno de los principios cardinales sobre el cual se asienta las tramitaciones en el derecho procesal civil contemporáneo. En Cuba, la norma procesal civil vigente es carente en cuanto a la materialización de este principio, traducido en la celebración de las diferentes audiencias que conforman el proceso, por lo que presenta debilidades regulatorias evidenciables. El objetivo de este estudio es analizar la actual regulación jurídica en materia de audiencia que hace la norma adjetiva cubana. En un primer momento se examina a la audiencia como acto procesal vital en la tramitación judicial, así como sus tipologías, en aras de exponer las principales contradicciones normativas de su regulación en Cuba. Por último, se procede a la proposición de pautas de cómo debería quedar regulada jurídicamente la audiencia en el derecho procesal civil cubano.

Some Important Factors Hindering the Civic Integration of Ethnic Minorities
Authors:   Ivane Javakhishvili Tbilisi State University, Tbilisi, Georgia, Gabunia Kakha ,   Centre for Civil Integration and Inter-Ethnic Relations, Tbilisi, Georgia
Published: November 2021

The purpose of this article is to compile and group the list of problems that hinder the integration of ethnic minorities in the political, economic and cultural life of the country, based on research conducted by various organizations over the past 10 yearს. According to these studies, the main problem is, on the one hand, the language barrier and, on the other hand, ethnic-nationalist tendencies and stereotypes. These national mythologies and notions play one of the crucial roles in the formation of national self-identification. Ethno-nationalist tendencies are strong both in minorities and in ethnic Georgians. There are several factors behind the emergence of the ethnonationalism in Georgia First of all, it is the legacy of Soviet totalitarianism, as well as the result of the current socio-political situation. Understanding these two factors will give us a better answer as to why ethnic-nationalist sentiments are still prevailing in Georgia and why the integration of the ethnic minorities is hindered, despite being repeatedly declared by the state. The language barrier of ethnic minorities is also an important problem in the process of integration into society. The education system should make the knowledge of the state language accessible to ethnic minorities and, at the same time, ensure the protection of minority languages. To do this, the state must maximize and encourage local staff; The general system of education should ensure the upbringing of the citizen of the country and not put any group (even the majority) in an advantageous situation. show the advantage of any (even the majority) group.

Authors:   Oles Honchar Dnipro National University, Dnipro, Ukraine, Safonova Nataliia , Anisimova Alla
Published: November 2021

The article deals with the issues where linguistic consciousness as a sociolinguistic phenomenon is successfully revealed in FLT, namely, in problematic questions of language learning. It covers the description of linguistic consciousness and some aspects of its influence on the process of development of students’ communicative competence. It is emphasized that the philosophy of lifelong learning has become a widespread phenomenon in modern society. Learning a foreign language can be considered an important means of forming linguistic consciousness and the ability to conduct intercultural dialogues. The correlation of two languages and cultures (Ukrainian and foreign ones) helps to outline their national specific features, which contribute to a deeper understanding of both the foreign and the native language and culture. Any education system is open and fairly stable. As for the methods and learning tools, they can vary depending on the applicable learning concept. The article gives a detailed description of the development of linguistic consciousness of Ukrainian students from different social groups while learning English. So linguistic consciousness is a reflection of the actual language sphere contributes to the development of both communicative and multilingual competences. The main aim of the use of modern educational technologies is to increase the level of the communicative competence and linguistic consciousness in students, their educational achievements, and to improve the quality of language education.
Disputes over the permissibility of tobacco smoking among the ulama of Ottoman Syria
Authors: Krayushkin Nikita Romanovich
Published: November 2021

The article analyzes the history of tobacco smoking in Great Syria of the 17th - mid-18th centuries. The consumption of tobacco, brought to the Ottoman Empire by European merchants from the New World, began to spread rapidly among various groups of society, including women and children. The popularity of the new habit caused a wary attitude to it of the Ottoman theologians from the Turkish Kadizadeli movement. In the middle of the 17th century, they managed to achieve significant influence on the sultans court and banned tobacco smoking in the Ottoman Empire for a while. However, after the unsuccessful military campaign of the Turks initiated by the Kadizadeli near Vienna in 1683, the Hanafi Puritans of Islam were expelled from the capital. This time, they chose Greater Syria as one of the main strongholds of the movement. In Damascus, the question of the legality of tobacco smoking from the point of view of the norms of Islamic law was defended by Sufis under the leadership of the Syrian mystic ʻAbd al-Ghani al-Nablusi. As a result of the disputes, the Kadizadeli lost their influence in Syria, which partly contributed to the further rejection by the inhabitants of the region of another Puritanical movement in Islam, led by Muhammad ibn ʻAbd al-Wahhab.

Authors: Bu R. Kh.
Published: November 2021

After the PRC President Xi Jinping put forward a proposal for the implementation of the Belt and Road initiative in 2013, this initiative of the PRC faced a phenomenon that has been called “soft power of resistance” in Chinese science. The PRC leadership, as a way to overcome this challenge, sees the need for humanitarian rapprochement with the participating countries of the initiative, one of the manifestations of which is Chinese outbound tourism. In Eurasia, the one of the most rapid development of Chinese tourism in recent years has been in Russia, which allows us to consider this phenomenon as an attempt from the PRC to cultural rapprochement with the Russian Federation through increasing tourist flows.

The changes associated with the strengthening of existing trends, the translation of global trends to regional and national levels, the emergence of new trends and their scaling up to the world level, leads to a transformation of conditions and the emergence of new strategic factors of economic development. This non-stationary process, which declares both negative and positive aspects, complicates the monitoring, search and selection of long-term guidelines for the industrial development of the economy, which justifies the relevance of the development of the methodological apparatus for strategizing industries.

The industrial strategy developed in accordance with the general theory of strategy and the methodology of strategizing, the founder of which is Foreign Member of the Russian Academy of Sciences Vladimir L. Kvint, is designed to systematize and take into account the variability of conditions, the variety of strategic factors and emerging opportunities, decompose the latter to the level of strategic priorities, the implementation of which will generate high efficiency over the entire horizon of strategizing.

At the same time, the general theory of strategy is a young science, being in constant contact with practice, the theoretical foundations and methodological provisions of its main directions, including industrial, are still at the stage of formation and improvement.

Making correct and reasonable strategic decisions increasingly depends on the depth of studying the object of strategizing. In this regard, the purpose of this article was to disclose one of the preparatory stages for the development of a strategy, namely, the study of the industry as an object of strategizing.

The article justifies the necessity of dividing the analysis of the industry as an object of strate-gizing into two stages: strategic diagnostics (the study of the main characteristics, features, the current trajectory of development and potential), and OTSW-analysis (the study of the object of industrial strategizing from the position of searching for future prospects, choosing a vector of long-term development and forming a trajectory of movement in the chosen direction). In addition, the author indicates the potential elements of strategic diagnostics of the industry as an object of strategizing and reveals the key aspects of each of the areas of analysis.
Bioplastiche: sono realmente così innocue?
Authors: Mastrolia Cristina
Published: November 2021

Le bioplastiche, fin dal loro inserimento nei processi produttivi, sono
state considerate come una alternativa sicura ed ecosostenibile alle
“normali” plastiche (a base di petrolio) ree di danneggiare
invariabilmente l’ecosistema, in particolare quello marino. Di fatti, è
stimato che circa il 56% della plastica prodotta annualmente non venga
riciclata o incenerita, bensì venga scartata soprattutto negli oceani in
forma di microplastiche. Di conseguenza, la ricerca sulle bioplastiche e
specificamente sul loro ciclo vitale è un campo di studio di notevole
interesse ed in rapida crescita. Tuttavia, pensare alle bioplastiche
come la perfetta soluzione al problema dell’inquinamento da plastica
sarebbe un grossolano errore nonostante la loro produzione avvenga a
partire da fonti rinnovabili.  Infatti, la maggior parte delle
bioplastiche sono biodegradabili ma non compostabili.

Il fine di questo lavoro è quindi quello di dare luce alla parte meno
conosciuta, e spesso ignorata, delle bioplastiche; ovvero il loro
potenziale dannoso sia durante la loro produzione, sia nei vari processi
di smaltimento, ed in particolare in ambiente marino; nonché
sull’applicazione del criterio e delle tecnologie di economia circolare
per il recupero, ed il riutilizzo delle bioplastiche all’interno degli
impianti di smaltimento delle acque reflue.
Monitoraggio delle emissioni odorigene in un piccolo impianto di depurazione attraverso un approccio senso-strumentale
Authors: Russo Federica
Published: November 2021

Le molestie olfattive indotte da impianti di trattamento di acque reflue
costituiscono un vero e proprio problema ambientale. In particolare, le
emissioni odorigene derivanti dall’esercizio di impianti in zone
turistiche sono considerate la principale causa di disturbo notato dalla
popolazione esposta. La valutazione dell’impatto indotto può essere
effettuata attraverso la misurazione degli odori, utilizzando un metodo
analitico, sensoriale o misto. Il sensoriale, legato al “sensore
umano” è causa di notevole incertezza. L’analitico-strumentale è in
grado di identificare e quantificare solo la concentrazione dei composti
chimici singoli o multipli ma non l’odore complessivo di una miscela.
Pertanto, integrando entrambi i metodi, nel presente articolo si vuole
mostrare l’applicazione di una procedura di tipo senso-strumentale
(GC/MS con porta ODP). I risultati ottenuti in uno SWWTP hanno
dimostrato l’applicabilità di tale procedura nel monitoraggio delle
emissioni odorigene ed hanno permesso l’identificazione di 39 sostanze
diverse di cui quasi la metà responsabili di disturbi olfattivi.
Red blood cell distribution width and left ventricular mass index predict poor outcomes in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
Authors: Li Jia , Gao Weidong , Liu Jinxue , Zhang Haifang , Tao Jun , Zhang Gaoxing
Published: November 2021

Aim: To evaluate the prognostic utility of red blood cell
distribution width (RDW) and left ventricular mass index (LVMI) in
patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). Patients &
methods: This study is a retrospective cohort analysis. Patients
diagnosed with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy at the First Affiliated
Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University from March 2014 to March 2019 were
included . HCM patients were stratified into two groups based on the
occurrence of major adverse cardiac events (MACE).Receiver operator
characteristic (ROC) curves were then constructed and Cox regression
models were employed to gauge the prognostic relevance of RDW and LVMI
for HCM patients. Kaplan-Meier analysis evaluated the survival and
MACE-free rate in patients with different level of RDW and LVMI.
Results: A total of 300 patients with HCM were enrolled in this
study and followed up for 40.56±18.33 months. Among them, 117 MACE
(39.00%), 40 all-cause deaths (13.33%), 29 cardiovascular deaths
(9.67%). The level of RDW, LVMI, creatinine (Cr) and B-type pro-brain
natriuretic peptide (NT-ProBNP) were statistically different between the
MACE group and Non-MACE group ( P<0.05). Multivariate
analysis showed that after adjusting for confounding factors, RDW and
LVMI were independent predictors of all-cause mortality and MACE in HCM
patients. ROC showed that RDW>0.13 and
LVMI>181g/m are the cut-off value to
predict all-cause mortality and MACE. The AUC of the combination
predicting the occurrence of all-cause mortality and MACE are 0.890 and
0.885 respectively. Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that the survival rate
and MACE-free survival rate of group 1 (RDW≦0.13 and LVMI≦181g/m
) were significantly higher than group 2
(RDW>0.13 or LVMI>181g/m ),
and group 3 (RDW >0.13 and LVMI>181g/m
) ( P=0.000). Conclusion: We
determined that increased RDW and LVMI was independently associated with
MACE incidence and risk of mortality in HCM patients. Combined
evaluation of RDW and LVMI yielded a more accurate predictive model of
HCM patient outcomes relative to the use of either of these metrics in
isolation. Our research can provide a theoretical basis in the
occurrence of MACE for the high-risk HCM and intervene them properly and
timely.

The study analysed rural farming households’ poverty status and alleviating strategies in Benue State, Nigeria. The specific objectives of the study were to: describes the rural household heads’ socio-economic characteristics; determine the poverty status of the respondents and its determinants; and identify poverty alleviating strategies of the respondents. Data for the study was collected from 420 respondents selected using a multi-stage sampling technique. Data collected were analysed using descriptive statistics, the Foster-Greer-Thorbecke poverty measurement index, and the Binary Logistic regression model. The findings of the study revealed a very high incidence of poverty (70%), having a gap of 0.34, and severity of 0.17. Poverty in the area is positively associated with the age of the household head and household size, while gender, educational level, off-farm activity, membership of a group, farm size, and land ownership are negatively associated with poverty. The common poverty alleviation strategies identified were agricultural wage labour (48.6%), rental services (45.0%), and transportation business (36.7%). Therefore, it was recommended that the government and other stakeholders should initiate sustainable social protection schemes that can assist rural residents in alleviating poverty until their condition improves.
Basic properties of unbounded weighted conditional type operators
Authors: Liu Xiao-Feng , Estaremi Yousef
Published: November 2021

In this paper we consider unbounded weighted conditional type (WCT) operators
on Lp-space. We provide some conditions under which WCT operators on
Lp-spaces are densely defined. Specifically, we obtain a dense subset of
their domain. Moreover, we get that a WCT operator is continuous if and only
if it is every where defined. A description of polar decomposition,
spectrum, spectral radius, normality and hyponormality of WCT operators in
this context are provided. Finally, we apply some results of hyperexpansive
operators to WCT operators on the Hilbert space L2(?). As a consequence
hyperexpansive multiplication operators are investigated.

Published: November 2021

In this paper, we present a numerical method for solving nonlinear
Hammerstein fractional integral equations. The method approximates the
solution by Picard iteration together with a numerical integration designed
for weakly singular integrals. Error analysis of the proposed method is also
investigated. Numerical examples approve its efficiency in terms of accuracy
and computational cost.
