Role of Patient Age and Stone Density in Predicting Outcomes of Shockwave Lithotripsy in Lower Ureteral Stones
Authors: Alsmadi Jad
Published: May 2023

Background: Shockwave lithotripsy (SWL) is an important tool for treating ureteral stones, especially when ureteroscoy (URS) is not readily available. Objective: The aim of the study was to identify factors associated with the success of shockwave lithotripsy (SWL) in the treatment of lower ureteral stones. Methods: Total of 105 consecutive patients with single lower ureteral stones treated with SWL between January 2021 and February 2022 were reviewed retrospectively. Clinical and stone parameters including age, gender, and body mass index (BMI), stone length, and stone density were analyzed. SWL procedures were done using electro-conductive lithotripter Sonolith i‐sys (EDAP TMS, Vaulx‐en‐Velin, France). We evaluated available clinical and radiologic features that might have been related to successful SWL treatment. Results: Treatment was successful in 67/105 patients (63.8%). Multivariate logistic regression revealed that a successful outcome was significantly related to mean stone density (MSD) (95% CI: 1.004- 1.009) and the patients age (95% CI: 1.022- 1.13). Gender, BMI, and stone length were not an independent predicting factors. Conclusion: Stone density and patient age were independent predictors of successful outcome after two SWLs in the lower ureter. However, gender, BMI, and stone length did not independently predict treatment success.

Published: May 2023

Background: Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) is a first-line nucleotide analog (NA) drug for hepatitis B therapy. Long-term NA therapy increases peripheral T cell levels to enhance antiviral response, while CTLA-4 inhibits the activation. Objective: This study analyzed the interaction between TDF and CTLA-4 through molecular docking. Methods: Target protein and ligand data mining were performed, and proteins were prepared by removing water molecules in the Discovery Studio 2019 software. The energy minimization was performed on ligands using Pyrx v.0.9.8 software. Protein-ligand docking was performed using Autodock Vina integrated with Pyrx v.09.8. Meanwhile, the docking of proteins was accomplished using the Haddock server. The BioVia Discovery Studio 2019 software visualized the interaction between the compound and the docked protein. Molecular dynamics simulations were carried out using the YASARA Dynamic program developed by Biosciences GmbH. Results: TDF ligand has good and stable inhibitory activity against the CTLA-4/B7-1 and CTLA4/B7-2 complexes. TDF docking has been shown to initiate conformational changes, indicating the ligand’s inhibitory activity. The significant conformational changes based on superimposition results were shown by the CTLA-4/TDF/B7-2 and CTLA-4/B7-1/TDF complexes. TDF in all ligands undergoes bonding and displacement of binding sites. Conclusion: Treatment with TDF was predicted to have inhibitory activity against CTLA-4, especially in its complex form with B7-1 and B7-2.

Published: May 2023

Background: Isolated intestinal injury after blunt abdominal trauma is a rare challenging clinical entity. Patients with Crohn’s disease (CD) are considered more prone to spontaneous intestinal perforation rather than normal population However, spontaneous intestinal perforation remains rare. In the literature, there are few cases reports discussing intestinal perforation after blunt abdominal trauma in CD patients. Objective: Herein, we report a young male patient with CD who had missed traumatic intestinal perforation along with literature review of similar cases. Case Presentation: A young male patient, known to have CD, was brought to the emergency department after a road traffic accident. He had mild tenderness over his right iliac fossa with no signs of peritonitis. His chest X-rays revealed right-sided pneumothorax. His pan-computed tomography revealed thickened terminal ileum and minimal collection between the intestinal loops that were interpreted as interval regression of his Crohn’s disease. On the second day, he remained hemodynamically-stable with no signs of peritonitis but his chest X-rays showed air under diaphragm. A repeated CT showed pneumoperitoneum, air foci around the terminal ileum and mild free fluid. An ileal perforation was found around 25 cm from the ileo-cecal valve. The involved ileal segment was completely resected with double-barrel ileostomy. Conclusion: Traumatic intestinal injury in patients with Crohn’s disease represent both diagnostic and management dilemma. Inaccurate interpretation of radiological signs may lead to a delayed or missed diagnosis and surgical intervention. Abdominal CT scan should be routinely repeated, within 24 hours, for such patients, regardless absence of symptoms or signs suggestive of intestinal perforation.
Reconstruction of Infected Mediastinal Wound with an Omental Flap Harvested Laparoscopically After Cardiac Surgery: Report of Two Cases and Literature Review
Authors: Alshammasi Zahra , Boumarah Dhuha , AlAbbad Aqilah , Alkhalifa Ahmed , Sahwan Abdullah , Alshomimi Saeed
Published: May 2023

Background: Deep sternal wound infection and dehiscence are two serious complications after open cardiac surgery. Omental flap harvesting is recognized as one of the management options, with traditionally non-favorable outcomes due to laparotomy stress on patients. Objective: Herein, however, we report our experience with two patients who have developed a mediastinal wound infection following coronary artery bypass grafting and were reconstructed with omental flaps harvested laparoscopically. Case Presentation: Two 74-year-old females, who were known to have multiple comorbidities, developed a sternal wound infection after coronary artery bypass graft. Several operative trials and non-operative measures have been attempted to manage the infections and/or reconstruct the wound but failed. Both patients then underwent laparoscopic omental flap harvesting for reconstruction and exhibited significant clinical improvement postoperatively. Discussion: Omental flap is considered a feasible option for reconstruction of sternal wound dehiscence developing after open cardiac surgery because it is usually well-vascularized, contains a large number of immunologically active cells and has the ability to absorb wound secretions. The traditional method of harvesting is conventional laparotomy, but it carries high rates of morbidity. Therefore, laparoscopic harvesting can be utilized as an alternative with better outcomes. Conclusion: Laparoscopic omental flap harvesting is considered a feasible and safe procedure to manage sternal wound dehiscence after open cardiac surgery, with satisfactory surgical outcomes.

Role of probiotics in inflammatory bowel disease
Authors: Darmadi Darmadi , Ariestine Dina , Surja Sem
Published: May 2023

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) consists of ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn’s disease (CD). The global incidence of IBD is increasing recently. Westernization is hypothesized to play role in this phenomenon. Inflammation is the basic etiology of IBD. Genetic and environmental factors are important determinants of IBD. Gastrointestinal microorganism is a component of the environmental factors. Balanced-state microorganism environment is important to maintain normal gastrointestinal function. Dysbiosis, an imbalance in beneficial and pathogenic gastrointestinal microorganism, may elicit inflammation and result in IBD. Dysbiosis causes increased pro-inflammatory activity, decreased anti-inflammatory activity, disrupted gastrointestinal mucosal barrier, and prolonged inflammation. Probiotics are hoped to mend the dysbiosis and alleviate inflammation along with disease course. Studies in human reported that administration of probiotics along with standard therapy for UC gives promising result. In contrast, probiotics have little or no positive effect in CD. Probiotics as adjunctive therapy may be considered in managing patients with UC but not with CD.

Women are often the center of attention because of their beauty and beauty. In kakawin arjuna wiwaha women have a very central position in achieving the mission of saving the three worlds. In accordance with the civilization of the gods, women are not only equal to men, but men are also very dependent on women. The Gods will not be able to carry out their duties perfectly whether in creating, maintaining or fusing without a partner as a source of strength. So that the gods Brahma, Visnu, and Siva can only carry out their main tasks and functions when there is magic. Likewise with men in life in the world they will not be able to carry out their swadharma properly without encouragement or motivation from their women. The influence of women is so great in this life, that society should be able to glorify women and appreciate them more. Women in the kakawin arjuna wiwaha have several positions that depict special symbols or signs according to their roles, such as testing the firmness of a man's faith, women as goddesses, women as weapons and women as wives.

Rasionalitas menandai lahirnya sistem modernitas “padat” yang bercirikan progresivitas, kaku, sistematik dan rigid. Realitas ini membawa manusia pada pola pikir kalkulatif dan purifikatif. Namun, lahirnya modernitas padat sebagai suatu realitas justru melahirkan masalah kemanusiaan. Karena itulah, sebagai respon dari kegagalan era solid modernity, maka tercipta antitesa yang dinamakan modernitas “cair”. Metode penulisan dalam artikel ini menggunakan pendekatan kepustakaan, dengan membaca beragama literatur yang berkaitan dengan teori Zygmunt Bauman. Dalam artikel ini juga dilakukan kajian pustaka untuk melakukan analisis sekaligus komparasi terkait penelitian atau terminologi tertentu yang berkaitan dengan ide tulisan ini. Kelahiran modernitas “cair” justru melahirkan permasalahan baru, karena manusia yang sudah tidak lagi dikuasai oleh kekuatan negara, justru dikendalikan oleh soft power, inilah yang menyebabkan manusia era sekarang menjadi sulit mendefinisikan dirinya sendiri, serta terombang-ambing dalam realitas sosial yang semakin tidak pasti. Manusia dipaksa untuk berkompetisi dalam upaya memenangkan rekognisi sosial. era ini juga menandaan manusia yang dikendalikan oleh kekuatan “halus” atau soft power, yang mengonstruksi cara berpikir dan bertindak entitas korporeal saat ini.

Working conditions and quality of work life reflect a person’s overall quality of life and wellbeing. The purpose of this cross-sectional survey study was to investigate the working conditions, quality of work life, and related factors among farmers. The samples consisted of 445 farmers from the Wang Chin and Song Districts in Phrae Province, Thailand. Data collection was accomplished through a self-administered questionnaire. A structural equation model was specified to investigate the extent to which individual characteristics, interpersonal factors, and working conditions contribute to the quality of work life. More than half of the participants were (52.1%) men; the average age was 48.26 years; the average monthly income was 5,113.48 THB; 89% held debt; and 56.9% were landowners. Farmers’ perceptions of working conditions, namely, the physical, chemical, and ergonomic working environment were poor, and there was a significant risk of workplace accidents. The results revealed that the overall quality of work life among employees was moderate (82.9%). The causal model of the quality of work life was assessed and justified through SEM. The model fits well with the empirical data (GFI = 0.973, AGFI = 0.912, CFI = 0.985, RMSEA = 0.062, SRMR = 0.053). A combination of marital status, relationships with family and peers, social support, the biological environment, and ergonomics explained 23.3% of the variation in the quality of work life. The findings indicate that government organizations involved in agricultural work should work with interdisciplinary groups to improve the quality of farmers’ working lives. It is recommended that a one-stop service center be established in an easily accessible area, as a resource for farmers to store their knowledge and gain inspiration. Farmers should be encouraged to work together to improve their ability to negotiate and the community’s ability to build a sustainable quality of life.
Kafka’nın Işığında/Karanlığında “Yol Kenarı” Filmi.
Authors: EKİZ Tevfik
Published: May 2023

Franz Kafka modern edebiyatın hâlâ en tartışmalı yazarlarından biridir. Çoğu fragman kalmış kısa öykü, roman türündeki çalışmaları çok farklı yorumlara açık türde eserlerdir. Son yıllarda yapılan araştırmalar Kafka’nın o dönemde henüz gelişim aşamasında olan sinema sanatından büyük ölçüde etkilendiğini göstermektredir. Bu etkilenmenin onun biçemine de yansıdığı, onu sinematografik anlatıma yönelttiği ve Kafka’nın eserlerinin başarıyla sinemaya aktarılmasında ve onun izleklerini kullanan yönetmenlerin yapımlarının başarısında bu anlatımının payının büyük olduğu görülmektedir.

Bu çalışmada pek çok yönüyle Kafka’nın eserlerini anıştıran Tayfun Pirselimoğlu’nun 2017 yılı yapımı “Yol Kenarı” sinema filmi temel Kafka izleklerinden (bürokrasi, belirsizlikler, ikilemler anlamlandıramama, suçluluk duygusu, umutsuzluk, çaresizlik, yabancılaşma, nedensiz bir ceza çekme) yola çıkılarak ele alınmaya çalışılmıştır. Bu temel izleklere “Yol Kenarı” filminde örneklerle dikkat çekilmiş, bunların filmde karşılığı olduğu düşünülenler üzerinde yoğunlaşılmıştır. Kafka’nın bu biçemi ve izleklerinin Tayfun Pirselimoğlu’nun “Yol Kenarı” filminin pek çok sahnesinde de görülüyor olması, Kafka’nın yüz yıl önce ortaya koyduğu sorunsalların geçerliliğini koruduğunun, evrenselliğinin bir göstergesi olduğu sonucuna varılmıştır.

This article examines a flow of a boundary layer as well as a temperature exchange of Maxwell-fluid in 2D along an expansion sheet using numerical methods. The impacts of magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) plus stretch on an inflow are taken into account. Methods in which nanoparticles might damage the environment are also investigated. we present differential transform method that can be applied to transform nonlinear partial differential equation into connected ODEs. A boundary layer Equations formula. are resolved numerically utilizing the Maxwell-nanofluid model. Emerging variables constraint that affects concentration and also on temp profile alone are studied; they include a magnetic constraint M, stretchy constraint K, Prandtl constraint Pr, Mass transfer restriction Nb, a convective heat flow constraint Nt, and Lewis No. Le. Interesting graphs of a findings are displayed. There are also correlations between a flow control factors and coefficient of skin friction, a dimensionless heat exchange amount, and the concentrate amount.
Detecting Data Outliers with Machine Learning

Published: May 2023

Anomalies are instances or collections of data that occur very rarely in a dataset and where features differ significantly from most of the data. In the age of technology, data is widely used in all sectors. Thus, anomalies in the data may produce problems if they are not detected. Anomaly detection involves examining specific data points and detecting rare occurrences that seem suspicious because they are different from the established pattern of behaviors. In this study, an approach to anomaly detection is built using a machine learning technique. The clustering distance-based method (k_means) is adopted. First, the anomaly existence is tested using p_value. After that, the anomaly data is detected using the clustering method. The proposed method was tested using real data collected from Kaggle. The results show the good performance of the k_means algorithm in the detection of outlier data.

A systematic literature review (SLR) regarding parental involvement in children's ESL learning at the primary school level was carried out using electronic data searching. This review considered articles published in the last three years (2020–2022) from an electronic database, specifically SCOPUS. The paper summarizes previous research, examines the current literature, and suggests directions for future research. The results of this evaluation, which include the identification of ten relevant papers, show that the majority of the parental involvement studies were conducted qualitatively and focused more on home-based than school-based involvement. Besides that, reading activities were largely performed by parents to get involved in their children’s ESL learning followed by helping with homework. Several theories have been seen employed by studies shortlisted in this SLR namely Bronfenbrenner's Ecological Theory, Epstein Framework, Walker‘s Model of Parental Involvement, and Vygotsky's Sociocultural Theory. Bourdieu Social Classes Theory and Asset-based Framework. The findings of this review suggest that for children to benefit most from reading, parents should obtain a better understanding of effective reading strategies. Additionally, more studies are needed on school-based parental involvement to get more insights into implementing home-school partnerships for better student educational outcomes.

Authors: Dubey Jaya , Dubey Sachi
Published: May 2023

The objective of this paper is to assess the environmental impact of electric vehicles (EVs) and provide an overview of the current research in this field. This paper includes a literature review of various research studies on the impact of EVs on the environment, including their impact on air pollution, greenhouse gas emissions, and resource use. The findings of this paper suggest that EVs have the potential to significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions and improve air quality, but their overall environmental impact depends on factors such as the source of electricity used to power them, and the materials used in their production. This research paper proposes a theoretical framework for assessing the environmental impact of electric vehicles (EVs). The framework is based on a systems approach, which considers the interrelated environmental, economic, and social factors that are affected by the introduction of EVs. The framework includes an analysis of the life cycle of EVs, including their production, use, and disposal, and considers the impacts of these stages on the environment. The proposed framework can serve as a guide for future research on the environmental impact of EVs. The paper highlights the environmental benefits and drawbacks of EVs, focusing on their impact on air pollution, greenhouse gas emissions, and resource use. The review concludes that EVs have the potential to significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions, but their environmental benefits depend on factors such as the source of electricity used to power them and the materials used in their production.
Understanding the Concept of Crime and Criminology

The idea of a crime-free society is a fable. In truth, it is not possible to imagine a
society without against the law and crook hassle. The primary trouble of the concept of
crime is social order. It is generally acknowledged that as a network member, guys 's
pursuits are fine protected. Everybody in society has a few duties to his fellow residents, in
addition to certain rights and benefits that he expects others to provide for him. The abovecited
concept of mutual respect and self-assurance within the rights of others governs the
conduct of society's contributors as an entire. Although most of the people of individuals
adhere to the ‘‘live and allow live” philosophy, there are a choose range who, for whatever
purpose, wreck from this widespread and interact with anti-social forces. This certainly
locations a responsibility at the state to preserve society's normalcy. The nation, which
administers it with the assist of the regulation, has the difficult duty of safeguarding lawabiding
individuals and punishing lawbreakers. 'Regulation', according to Salmond, is a
'rule of motion' that governs human beings's conduct in society. Wrongful acts or crimes
are defined as conducts which can be prohibited by the law in impact at the time and place,
while lawful conducts are described as the ones which can be authorised via the
regulation. Under the regulation of crime, the culprit who commits a crime is penalised for
his moves.
