Published: October 2024

Purpose: The objective of this study was to evaluate the facial profile changes of patients treated for class II skeletal malocclusions with the Elastodontic appliance compared to those treated with the Herbst appliance and a control group.

Methods: Forty class II patients were treated using the Elastodontic appliance (Group EA) and were compared with 40 patients treated with a Herbst appliance (Group H) and with 40 untreated class II children (Group C). Aesthetic profile variables were analysed using Arnett's analysis. Cephalograms were compared pre-treatment (T0) and post-treatment (T1). The Wilcoxon signed-rank test or paired-samples t-test were used for pairwise comparison of cephalometric measurements taken at T0 and T1. One-way ANOVA and Tuckey's post-hoc test were performed to assess differences between the groups.

Results: In Group C, from T0 to T1, the LL-TVL distance and POG'-TVL distance decreased. In the EA group, the 1+SN angle increased from T0 to T1, while the POG'-TVL and B'-TVL distances decreased. In Group H from T0 to T1, the POG'-TVL, B'-TVL, LL-TVL, and 1+SN measurements decreased while 1-GOME (IMPA) increased. There were significant differences on ANOVA in 1+SN, IMPA, 1+TVL, LL-TVL, and UL-TVL. Compared to Group C, 1+SN and UL-TVL were lower in Group H, while IMPA and 1+TVL were higher in group H. Compared to the EA group, 1+SN and UL-TVL were lower in the H Group, while IMPA and LL-TVL were higher in the H Group.

Conclusion: The profile changes achieved by both devices are favourable for correcting class II skeletal malocclusion.

Published: October 2024

Background/Objectives: Obesity and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) reduce life expectancy; nonoperative interventions show poor results. Individually, chitosan, acetic acid (AA), and sepiolite clay attenuate high-fat diet-induced obesity (DIO) via reduced energy digestibility and increased energy expenditure. We hypothesized that a chitosan–sepiolite biocomposite suspended in AA would attenuate DIO and NAFLD to a greater extent than AA alone via its more substantial adsorption of nonpolar molecules; Methods: We tested this dietary supplement in C57BL/6J mice fed a high-fat diet, compared to supplementation of a bile-acid sequestrant (cholestyramine) and standalone AA; Results: Biocomposite supplementation attenuated DIO rate and NAFLD progression, whereas standalone AA showed mild attenuation of DIO gain and did not prevent HFD-induced hepatic fat accumulation. Biocomposite intake was accompanied by a decreasing digestibility trend counterbalanced by increased intake; hence, it did not affect energy absorption; Conclusions: Therefore, DIO attenuation was suggested to be related to higher energy expenditure, a phenomenon not found with AA alone, as supported by calculated energy expenditure using the energy-balance method. These results support further investigation of the biocomposite’s efficacy in attenuating obesity and NAFLD, specifically when applied with a restricted diet. Future studies are needed to determine this biocomposite's safety, mechanism of action, and efficacy compared to its components given separately or combined with other ingredients.
Unconventional Monetary Policy, Disruptions in the Banking Sector and Banking Sector Efficacy: An ARDL and Bound Testing Applied to the Tunisian Banking Sector
Authors: Marzouki Mohamed Miras
Published: October 2024

A longstanding debate is raised about how far does the credit sector promote local investment and whether banking sector is efficacious in the meaning it helps respond to investors financing requirements and whether it serves the conduct of monetary policy in its conventional formulation.
There are much concerns also about the alternatives of monetary policy conduct when the interest rate channel transmission mechanism does no longer work in terms of effectiveness of monetary policy and how to step aside credit supply insufficiencies and disruptions in order to respond to excess credit demand.
This article provides an assessment of the relevance of unconventional monetary policy to deal with the issue of the vicious role played by the credit sector in its failure to fulfill banking sector efficacy due to an excessive search for yield motivation and extreme awareness from systemic risk.
We run an ARDL and Bound test to the data collected on the Tunisian banking sector and show that Banking sector efficacy is affected in the short run by Fisherian sensitivity another expression of the impact of inflation on real activity and banking sector specificities and in the long run it is affected by the impact of inflation on real activity and business cycle effects expressed in terms of sensitivities of Credit supply and demand to output gap.
Banking specificities do no longer matter in the long run and banking sector efficacy is not at all affected by Monetary policy in the short run because of nominal rigidities and in the long run because of monopolistic competition and backward oriented expectations that diverts the pass through effect of monetary policy as the pricing of loans is exclusively tributary on the search for yield motivation and the agency costs and result in a non competitive price of risk premiums that do not translate the transmission of monetary policy.
We conclude that the behavior of the banking sector is vicious because it conveys importance exclusively to the search for yield motivation and profitability of the banking sector and to the mitigation of systemic risk and does not play any role in the promotion of local investment which is a pillar of economic performance and growth.
We propose the Credit easing as an unconventional monetary policy that can step aside the hindrance of an inelastic credit supply through modifying asset prices and thereby improving attractiveness of assets to the banking sector and forcing financing through credit allocation but warn from the difficulties that might result from unconventional monetary policy in terms of inability to withdraw from the perturbation and gauge discretionary policy accurately.

Authors: Merkhatuly Nurlan , Iskanderov Amantay , Abeuova Saltanat , Iskanderov Ablaykhan , Zhokizhanova Saltanat
Published: October 2024

New conjugated 2,6-diphenylaniline-azulene co-oligomers of linear and branched structure were synthesized by the interaction of borylazulenes with diphenylaniline bromides under Suzu-ki-Miyaura cross-coupling conditions. The obtained diphenylaniline-azulene co-oligomers inten-sively absorb and emit visible light (410-700 nm region), in particular, exhibits strong emission in the green as well as orange range with maxima of 510 / 590 nm. It is shown that such properties appear as a result of the positive resonance exposure to ani-line fragments significantly rearranging the electronic structure of azulene, in particular, the lev-els and energy gaps of frontal HOMO - LUMO orbitals.

Authors: Bulgakov Andrey L. , Aleshina Anna V. , Smirnov Sergey D. , Demidov Alexey D. , Milyutin Maxim A. , Xin Yanliang
Published: October 2024

The article addresses the issues of scalability and security in blockchain networks, with a focus on sharding algorithms and decentralized data storage. Key challenges include the low throughput and high transaction latency in public networks such as Bitcoin and Ethereum. Sharding is examined as a method to enhance performance through data distribution, but it raises concerns regarding node management and reliability. Sharding schemes, such as Elastico, OmniLedger, Pyramid, RepChain, and SSchain, are analyzed, each presenting its own advantages and drawbacks. Alternative architectures like Directed Acyclic Graphs (DAG) demonstrate potential for improved scalability but require further refinement to ensure decentralization and security. Protocols such as Brokerchain, Meepo, AHL, Benzene, and CycLedger offer unique approaches to addressing performance and transaction consistency issues. The article emphasizes the need for a comprehensive approach, including dynamic sharding, multi-level consensus, and inter-shard coordination. Additionally, a conceptual model is proposed that incorporates sharding of transactions, states, and networks, which enables greater scalability and efficiency.

Authors: Gomes Sandra F. , Valois André , Estevinho Maria Manuela , Santiago Mafalda , Magro Fernando
Published: October 2024

Immune-mediated inflammatory diseases (IMIDs) are characterized by dysregulated immune responses and chronic tissue inflammation. In the setting of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP4) and gut microorganisms have been proved to interplay, potentially influenced by dietary factors. This rapid review aimed to study the DPP4-gut microbiome link in IBD.
A literature search across five databases and two other sources identified seven relevant studies reporting data on DPP4 and gut microbiome, in patients with IBD-related IMIDs or in vitro or in vivo models: one cross-sectional, one in vitro, and five in vivo studies.
The findings revealed a significant impact of DPP4 and its substrates, i.e. glucagon-like pep-tide-1/2 (GLP-1/2), on the composition of gut microbiome and on the development of dysbiosis. Increased DPP4 activity is associated with decreased GLP-1/2, increased pathogenic bacteria from Actinobacteria, Bacteroidetes, Deferribacteres, Firmicutes, Fusobacteriota, Proteobacteria, and Verrucomicrobia phyla, and decreased -diversity of beneficial gut microbes, including Clostridiaceae, Lachnospiraceae, and Ruminococcaceae families and short-chain fatty ac-id-producing bacteria like Odoribacter and Butryvibrio spp., with exacerbation of intestinal in-flammation.
This overview revealed that understanding the DPP4-gut microbiome association is critical for the development of DPP4-targeted therapeutic strategies to guarantee gut microbiome balance and modulation of immune response in IBD.

Published: October 2024

Polluting discharges are produced at a rate that is inexorably rising in tandem with human activity development. Eutrophication and other matters, such as offensive aquatic life, require wastewater to be treated before being discharged into the environment. Prior releasing into water bodies, the treated waters must to undertake laboratory analysis. For this purpose, an analysis using standard methods was carried out at the Laboratory Waterworks in Debrecen on various samples taken from various wastewater treatment plants (sewage treatment plants) in Hungary. The overall objective of this study was to assess the quality of the effluents from the fourteen (14) wastewater treatment plants and investigate their efficiency by measuring various physicochemical parameters and microbiological parameters as excellent indicators to evaluate the performance of the studied wastewater treatment plants. The microbiological indicator monitored was the heterotrophic count (HPC) by estimating its total number, which provides useful information for the assessment and monitoring of water samples. The determination of physicochemical parameters included biological oxygen demand (BOD5), chemical oxygen demand (COD) and nitrite -N (NO2), ammonia-N (NH3-N), nitrate-N (NO3) total phosphorus (TP), Kjeldahl- Nitrogen (organic N+ammonia-N) (TKN), total inorganic N (TI), total suspended solids (TSS) and total nitrogen (TN). The performance of the wastewater treatment plants examined was checked and the results were conclusive. In the future, solutions should be applied to these wastewater treatment plants and some recommendations are suggested

Published: October 2024

Alzheimer's disease is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder that disrupts the brain regions involved in memory and cognitive functions. This impairment ultimately results in severe deficits in memory, learning, reasoning, communication, and the ability to perform daily activities. Our research reveals a statistically significant decrease in the density of neural progenitor cells within the dentate gyrus of the hippocampus and the subventricular zone of the lateral ventricles in patients diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease. This reduction correlates with the disease's progression. As Alzheimer’s disease advances, cognitive functions decline progressively, leading to the identification of five distinct stages of β-amyloid distribution across various brain structures. Early symptoms include short-term memory deficits and learning difficulties, along with cognitive, psychiatric, and neurological disturbances. Given the hippocampus's essential role in these functions, one would expect to see substantial changes in this brain region. Thus, understanding adult neurogenesis is vital in Alzheimer’s disease, particularly since the hippocampus, a primary neurogenic area, is notably impacted in affected individuals.
Analysis of Bacterial Community Changes in Apple Trees Treated with Biological Control Agent, Bacillus altitudinis KPB25, for Controlling Fire Blight
Authors: Lim Na RA , Kong Hyun Gi , Jo Eon Jin , Kang Min Kyu , Park Duck Hwan
Published: October 2024

This study aimed to investigate the potential of the antagonistic bacterium KPB25 (Bacillus altitudinis) as a biological control agent against fire blight by analyzing the changes in the epiphytic and endophytic bacterial communities of apple tree leaves following treatment. We used metagenomic analysis to examine the diversity and similarity of the bacterial communities before and after KPB25 treatment. The KPB25 treatment resulted in increased community richness and diversity in endophytic bacteria. Conversely, in epiphytic bacteria, community diversity decreased after treatment. Beta-diversity analysis revealed that the endophytic community formed distinct clusters following KPB25 treatment, indicating a significant shift in the community structure. However, the epiphytic community did not exhibit any clustering, and the KPB25 treatment did not result in substantial changes in the community structure. Relative abundance analysis of the endophytic and epiphytic communities highlighted that some bacterial families, which increased in abundance following KPB25 treatment, oxidized sugars into organic acids or produced antibiotics, potentially creating an environment that makes it difficult for Erwinia amylovora to survive when attempting to infect its host. These findings suggest that KPB25 interacts with certain microbial taxa within apple trees, contributing to the regulation and alteration of the microbial community in a manner that promotes an environment unfavorable for E. amylovora. Overall, KPB25 enhanced microbial groups within the residual bacterial community of apple leaves that contributed to fire blight suppression but did not significantly disrupt or alter the pre-existing community. Therefore, KPB25 has the potential to be a biological control agent for the management of fire blight in apple orchards. Its ability to interact with and modify the microbial community without causing significant disturbance further highlights its suitability for biological control.

Published: October 2024

Bacterial keratitis caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa is indeed a serious concern due to its potential to cause blindness and its resistance to antibiotics, partly attributed to biofilm formation and cytotoxicity to the cornea. The present study uses meta-analysis of transcriptomics dataset to identify important genes and pathways in biofilm formation of P. aeruginosa induced keratitis. By combining data from several studies, meta-analysis can enhance statistical power and robustness, enabling the identification of 83 differentially expressed candidate genes including fis that could serve as therapeutic targets. The approach of combining meta-analysis with virtual screening and in vitro methods provides a comprehensive strategy for identifying potential target genes and pathway crucial for bacterial biofilm formation and development anti-biofilm medications against P. aeruginosa infections. The study identified 83 candidate genes that exhibited differential expression in the biofilm state, with fis proposed as an ideal target for therapy for P. aeruginosa biofilm formation. These techniques, meta-analysis, virtual screening, and in-vitro methods were used in combination to diagnostically identify these genes which play a significant role in biofilms. This finding has highlighted a hallmark target list for P. aeruginosa anti-biofilm potential treatments.

Published: October 2024

In the present study, we introduce the two dimensional Chlodovsky type Bernstein operators based
on (p, q)−integer. We examine approximation properties of our new operator by the help of Korovkin-type
theorem. Further, we present the local approximation properties and establish the rates of convergence by
means of the modulus of continuity and the Lipschitz type maximal function. Also, we give a Voronovskaja
type theorem for this operators. And, we investigate weighted approximation properties of these operators and estimate rate of convergence in the same space. Finally, with the help of Maple, illustrative graphics show the rate of convergence of these operators to certain functions . The optimization of approximation speeds by operators during system control provides significant improvements in stability and performance. As a result, the control and modeling of dynamic systems become more efficient and effective through innovative methods. These advancements in the fields of modeling fractional differential equations and control theory offer substantial benefits to both modeling and optimization processes, expanding the range of applications in these areas.
The Relationship Between ESG Scores and Value-at-Risk: A Vine Copula-GARCH Based Approach
Authors: Demartis Stefano , Rogo Barbara
Published: October 2024

Recently, the introduction of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) scores has become crucial for investment decisions and in minimizing portfolio risk. This study aims to understand the relationship between ESG scores and Value-at-Risk (VaR), computed by using a Vine copula-GARCH based approach, chosen for its reliability in detecting interdependencies among multiple stocks. In fact, one of the main challenges in estimating VaR for a stock portfolio is capturing the dependence structure among a large number of assets. The dataset consists of 16 companies listed on the FTSE100 index. The corresponding ESG scores were collected over a comprehensive period of five years, from 2018 to 2022, covering both normal and stressed market conditions. Additionally, a focused analysis was conducted for the period from 2020 to 2022 to isolate the specific effects of the COVID crisis. The results indicate that an increase in assets with the highest ESG scores reduces potential losses in the portfolio. This finding underscores the importance of integrating high-level ESG scores into portfolios to mitigate market risk. Additionally, during periods characterized by stressed market conditions, the impact of ESG scores on VaR is even more pronounced, demonstrating that sustainable assets are more resilient in times of crisis.

Authors: Hernández-García Frank , Rodríguez Suárez Julián , Gil Peña Helena , López José M , Fernández Iglesias Angela , Fuente Rocío
Published: October 2024

Most of our bone are formed thought a process called endochondral ossification, which is a tiny, regulated process leaded by the chondrocytes of the GP and which require continuous cross talk between these cells and chondrocytes and invading cell populations, including osteoblasts, chondroclasts and vascular cells. The better understanding of these signaling pathways is not only important in the normal growth and maturation of the skeleton but might be highly relevant to pathophysiological processes in bones and joints. Since there is poor information about communication between chondrocytes and other cell types in the developing bones, this review examines the current knowledge of how interactions between chondrocytes and bone forming cells modulate bone growth.

Tea commodity is one of the export commodities that can contribute to the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of Indonesian plantations. Indonesia’s tea production fluctuates but tends to decline, resulting in declining tea exports. Indonesia’s tea production is dominated by 78% black tea, 20% green tea, and the remaining 2% other types of tea. Although green tea has lower exports than black tea, Indonesia’s green tea market share has a better market share. The purpose of the study was to determine the comparative and competitive competitiveness of green tea exports, as well as the position of Indonesia’s green tea export competitiveness (HS 090220) in the international market. The data used starts from 2011-2022 with 6 destination countries namely Poland, Germany, Taipei, Pakistan, Malaysia, and China. The analysis used is RCA (Revealed Comparative Advantage), EPD (Export Product Dynamic), and ISP (Trade Specialisation Index) analysis. The results of the analysis showed that Poland has the highest RCA value of 29.99 and followed by Germany, Taipei, Pakistan, and China which have strong competitiveness. While Malaysia has a weak competitiveness with an RCA value of 0.34. The results of the EPD analysis obtained that Poland is in the Rising Star position which means that Indonesian green tea has a competitive advantage and is experiencing a positive increase in market share, while China and Pakistan are in the Lost Opportunity position. Malaysia is located in the Retreat position, which means that Indonesian green tea does not have a competitive advantage, while Germany and Taipei are in the Falling Star position. ISP results obtained Indonesia as an exporter country and has a strong competitive position in Pakistan. Indonesia as an importer country and has a weak competitive position in China.

El pueblo de Chile ha dado un nuevo ejemplo de comportamiento democrático y pasión por las libertades y la igualdad social. Hace un año protagonizó las grandes movilizaciones que enfrentaron la represión y obligaron al gobierno a convocar una consulta para determinar si se continuaba con la Constitución pinochetista de 1980 o se optaba por una nueva, que rompiera de una vez por todas con la herencia envenenada de la dictadura.

Un Fiat 750 enfiló el camino bordeado de peñas por un lado y recortado por un barranco por el otro. El sol de la madrugada alargó las sombras y despabiló el canto de los gallos. La luz y sus sombras se alternaban en el camino por el que rodaba el coche.
El patrimonio artístico y cultural de Ciudad Juárez: El Cine Plaza
Authors: Maguregui Luis
Published: October 2024

A finales del año pasado acudí a una capilla funeraria donde se realizaban las exequias de la madre de una amiga, quien había fallecido a los 92 años. Estaba yo sentado en aquella capilla cuando me llamó la atención que en el monitor que acostumbran colocar junto al féretro, como parte de la secuencia de fotografías de la difunta apareció una estatua que representa a una mujer desnuda, colocada en un espacio art deco, el cual inmediatamente reconocí que formaba parte del diseño interior del Cine Plaza.

A propósito de las elecciones generales en España
Authors: Álvarez Olivas Iván Roberto
Published: October 2024

Los resultados de las elecciones españolas del pasado 23 de julio fueron sorpresivos. Lo que parecía, según la mayoría de las encuestas, el inminente arribo al gobierno por parte de la derecha con el Partido Popular (PP) como eje, aliado con la ultraderecha representada por VOX, finalmente no se ha producido. Si bien el PP obtuvo una aumento de 47 asientos en el Congreso de los Diputados —al pasar de 89 que sacó en 2019 a ser la bancada m´ás grande en este 2023 con un total de 136 escaños—, su aliado confeso para formar gobierno, VOX, descendi. de 52 hace cuatro años a 33 en éste.

Objective. To present a proposal to estimate healthcare resource requirements for the population with no social security in Mexico City and the domestic projection, including access and coverage. Materials and methods. The gross domestic product percentage for healthcare is calculated using the Medical-Technical Baseline Cost (MTBC) or the Medical Economic Card (MEC) standard according to diagnosis and care treatment for the population with no social security, thus projecting the prospective resource requirements. Results. There is a shortfall of resources for 2024; the prospective per capita for the first level of healthcare is $3,813 and the historical one is $1,933; and the corresponding values for the second level are $4,430 and $3,861. The %GDP-healthcare for Mexico City in 2024 exhibits a 42% difference between the historical and prospective categories. The shortfall of resources for the three levels of healthcare in the entire country is 19%. Conclusions. The prospective budget makes it possible to calculate healthcare resource requirements with a higher degree of certainty and graduality.
Fortalecimiento de la regulación sanitaria para el acceso a medicamentos en México: desafíos y estrategias de acción

Published: October 2024

Los medicamentos son un elemento esencial para todos los sistemas de salud. Esto los convierte en un bien social indispensable de calidad y eficacia para problemas sanitarios. Desde la perspectiva de salud pública, es relevante contar con regulaciones sanitarias como instrumento fundamental de protección a la salud. Este trabajo tiene el objetivo de caracterizar el papel de la regulación sanitaria de medicamentos desde cuatro momentos históricos, políticos y socioeconómicos determinantes de México, así como presentar las estrategias implementadas por la Comisión Federal para la Protección contra Riesgos Sanitarios (Cofepris) para cerrar brechas de acceso a medicamentos. Discusión. En el siglo XXI, el aumento constante de población sin acceso a cuidados médicos conlleva para el Estado un gran desafío para reducir brechas entre la oferta y la demanda, y enfocar dichas políticas a las funciones de regular, proveer e informar. Para México, los dos últimos siglos han reflejado un modelo de política nacional de medicamentos en el que permeaba una regulación sanitaria donde se prioriza la eficacia, calidad, y premercado con poca atención al acceso a medicamentos y otros insumos de salud. Ante ello, la actual administración de la Cofepris impulsa un cambio de paradigma, orientando sus estrategias de acción a la optimización regulatoria y la reducción de asimetría de información directa a la población, que también toma en cuenta el acceso a los insumos de salud. Conclusiones. En la región de las Américas, las acciones de Agencias Reguladoras Nacionales como la Cofepris son cruciales para la solidificación de un modelo de política pública enfocada no sólo en la eficacia y calidad de medicamentos, sino también a la optimización regulatoria que apoye los objetivos y metas de acceso universal a medicamentos esenciales y otros insumos para la salud.
La atención primaria en el Modelo de Atención a la Salud para el Bienestar en México
Authors: Borja-Aburto Victor Hugo
Published: October 2024

El Instituto Mexicano del Seguro Social-Bienestar (IMSS-Bienestar), nueva institución encargada de la atención a la salud de las personas sin seguridad social en los estados mexicanos que firmen convenios con este propósito, basará la atención médica en el Modelo de Atención a la Salud para el Bienestar. Este modelo se sostiene en la atención primaria de salud que considera: a) servicios de salud integrados para satisfacer las necesidades de salud de las personas a lo largo de sus vidas; b) abordar los determinantes más amplios de la salud a través de políticas y acciones multisectoriales, y c) empoderar a individuos, familias y comunidades para que se hagan cargo de su propia salud. Se busca satisfacer las necesidades a lo largo del proceso continuo, que va desde la promoción de la salud y la prevención de enfermedades, hasta el tratamiento, la rehabilitación y los cuidados paliativos, y tan próximo como sea posible del entorno cotidiano de las personas. El componente de atención colectiva estará a cargo de la Secretaría de Salud Federal y de las secretarías de salud estatales, así como del Servicio Nacional de Salud Pública en vinculación con los operadores de servicios de salud del sector. El componente de atención médica será responsabilidad de IMSS-Bienestar. En este artículo se presenta la manera en la que el IMSS-Bienestar implementará este modelo de atención durante los siguientes años. Se plantea la manera operativa a través de equipos de conducción multidisciplinarios regionales y zonales, y se delinean los indicadores que serán empleados para su evaluación y seguimiento.
