The relevance of determining the innovative potential of a region is related to the need to develop strategic plans for the innovative development of the region. It is known that the innovative potential of a region is determined by the innovative potentials of its subjects, but is not equal to their sum. According to L. Bertalanffy's general theory of systems, a system has special properties that none of its elements possess – this is the main message of this study. When assessing the innovation potential of a region, the resource capabilities of the region for the development of innovation activities, scientific and technical potential, innovation policy, etc. are usually taken into account. The authors propose that when assessing the innovative potential of a region, in addition to the resource and other indicators used, special properties that the region acquires in the digital economy as a meso–level in the system of state – region - subjects of the region should be taken into account. This is, first of all, the possibility of using modern, including digital, technologies in order to increase the level of innovation potential of the region: a cluster model of economic organization that has replaced the sectoral approach, focusing the most effective and interrelated types of economic activity; "smart specialization" of the region, which is based on investing in innovation and research in areas reflecting the advantages and strengths of the region; The specifics of regional governance are the digital transformation of governance of the state and the region: the state as a platform, when most of the management functions will be performed not with the help of authorities, but on the basis of platform solutions.

Digitalization in banks carries not only cost reductions, increased competitiveness in the market, efficiency, and speed of service provision, but also a number of risks. Increasingly, credit institutions are facing cyber attacks aimed at stealing confidential information. The methods used by fraudsters are becoming more and more inventive, so the existing methods for identifying and combating risks are not effective enough. The purpose of the study is to study the landscape of cyber threats to banks, identify trends and challenges of the current stage of development. As part of the study, the authors systematized the main problems of digital security of banks based on analytical data from leading agencies and the Bank of Russia. Based on open data using general scientific and statistical methods, the authors analyzed the current state of Russian banks in terms of cyber risks. The results show that digitalization has a dual impact on the banking sector. On the one hand, it increases productivity, reduces costs, and on the other hand, increases risks. However, the study found that despite the growing volume of cyber attacks on financial institutions, there is a positive trend towards an increase in their successful repulse by banks. This allows us to conclude that the level of cybersecurity in this area has increased.

The article, based on statistical data from Rosstat, the Bank of Russia, the Ministry of Finance, and other analytical resources, examines the motives that the mega-regulator is guided by when managing the key rate, and their consequences for the Russian economy. It is shown that the Central Bank is failing to cope with its main task - maintaining the stability of the national currency - the ruble. It is determined that this year the state adopted an extremely inflationary budget with colossal expenses. The inflation target of four percent is not achieved, and real inflation is significantly higher than the official one. The Central Bank is fighting inflation with the only method available to it - by raising the key rate, thereby in many ways only accelerating inflation. Problems in the economy in connection with the growth of the key rate are identified. In the context of accelerating inflation, ordinary citizens, small and medium businesses are in a worse position. The high key rate suppresses the development of the real sector of the economy. The hands of the state have essentially formed two economic contours. The first is privileged, which receives cheap money, the second is broader, living according to natural market conditions, formed thanks to the invisible hand of the market, which does not enjoy any support from the state. The mega-regulator created conditions when commercial banks, including state-owned ones, stopped working as banks, do not perform their main function - the transformation of savings into investments, without which scientific and technological progress is impossible, which is the main factor in the fight against inflation and at the same time economic growth. At the same time, we have sufficient growth potential. Reaching advanced development rates requires special refinancing tools. But for this, we need to create appropriate conditions. Without this, we will not achieve either financial or technological sovereignty and will not defeat inflation.

Published: January 2025

Introduction: Sweet corn (Zea mays saccharata Sturt) is one of the horticultural crops that is in great demand in Indonesia because of its distinctive sweet taste and relatively short production time. To improve the quality and quantity of hybrid sweet corn seed production, it is necessary to apply appropriate agronomic techniques, such as detasseling (removal of male flowers) and defoliation (pruning leaves). This study aims to determine the interaction between detasseling time and the number of leaves pruned on the production parameters of hybrid sweet corn. Methods: The study was conducted in Wringintelu Village, Puger, Jember, from August to December 2022, using a factorial randomized block design (RBD) with three replications. The treatments consisted of three detasseling times (48 DAP, 50 DAP, and 52 DAP) and three levels of defoliation (no defoliation, 2 leaves, and 4 leaves). Data were analyzed using ANOVA and continued with a 5% DMRT test if there was a significant effect. Results: The results showed that the interaction of detasseling time of 48 HST with 4-leaf defoliation gave the best results on the parameters of cob weight (78.55 g) and cob length (14.97 cm). Individually, the treatment of detasseling time of 48 HST produced the highest seed production per hectare of 18.44 tons, while 4-leaf defoliation produced a production of 18.17 tons per hectare. Conclusion: In conclusion, the combination of detasseling time of 48 HST and 4-leaf defoliation is the best treatment to increase the production of hybrid sweet corn seeds, so it can be a recommendation for agronomic practices to increase sweet corn productivity in Indonesia.

Published: January 2025

Introduction: This study aimed to characterize the physicochemical properties of forage sago starch using a microwave with different moisture content, namely 20%, 25%, and 30%. Method: A randomized non-factorial design was used with four treatment levels, namely native starch, HMTMW20, HMTMW25, and HMTMW30. Furthermore, the analyzed parameters were moisture and ash content, water and oil absorption, swelling power, and solubility. Result: The results showed that moisture content of forages (9.35-12.20%) was lower than native starch (13.08%), ash content of sago starch forages (0.15-0.23%) was lower than native sago starch (0.30%), water absorption of HMTMW sago starch (216.19-317.47%) was higher than native sago starch (222.07%). Furthermore, the absorption of HMTMW sago starch oil (189.73-208.40%) was higher than native starch (176.53%), swelling power value of HMTMW sago starch (23.33-31.90%) was relatively lower than native sago starch (33.07%), solubility of HMTMW sago starch (12, 38-18.47%) was relatively lower than native sago starch (21.00%). Conclusion: HMTMW with different initial moisture content (20, 25, and 30%) using 40% power for 15 minutes caused changes in the physicochemical properties of sago starch. In addition, higher concentrations of the initial treatment caused an increase in moisture content and water and oil absorption, while ash content, swelling power, and solubility decreased.

Introduction: This study examines the food consumption patterns and food security status of corn farming households in Paterongan Village, Galis Subdistrict, Bangkalan Regency, Madura Island, Indonesia. The research is conducted within the context of the low food security levels in Indonesia, despite the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) since 2015. Paterongan Village serves as an interesting case study due to its high corn production but also a high poverty rate, which raises concerns regarding household-level food security. This study aims to identify the factors influencing food security among corn farmers in the area. Methods: This research uses a descriptive quantitative approach, collecting data through interviews and questionnaires with 76 female corn farmers. The 24-hour food recall technique was applied to assess food consumption patterns and calculate the Household Dietary Diversity Score (HDDS). Binary logistic regression analysis was conducted to identify the factors influencing food security. Results: The findings indicate that the food consumption patterns are relatively limited in diversity, with most households primarily consuming cereals, vegetables, oils, legumes, and fish. The average HDDS score is 7.1, with 67% of households classified as food insecure. Conclusion: The logistic regression analysis identified education level, household income, and the utilization of home gardens as significant factors that improve food security.

Published: January 2025

The occurrence of breast and ovarian cancer among the Indian population is gradually increasing. It is important to
determine the major predisposing factors involved in hereditary breast and ovarian cancer (HBOC). In-depth genomic
and functional analyses are necessary to identify the pathophysiology of inherited BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations, which can shed light on the
processes underlying cancer development. Hence, this study intends to screen the variants of BRCA1/2: 185delAG, Exon 11 (1307delT),
c.5946del and Exon 21 (c.8680C>T) among breast and ovarian cancer patients using the PCR-RFLP method. Patients with early onset of cancer
between the ages of 25 to 50 were selected to screen for the inherited predisposing traits as these genes are believed to be inherited. The prevalence
of BRCA1 (185 DelAG) mutation was found to be 4 among breast cancer and 3 among ovarian cancer patients. The incidence of BRCA1 Exon 11
(1307delT) was 12%. The results show that the deletion mutation variant (c.5946delT) of BRCA 2gene was 12%. The occurrence of T for C
substitution (mutant c.8680C>T of BRCA2) was detected in 14% of amplified samples. The statistical significance was obtained due to the
smaller sample size. In conclusion, this study shows that the selected variants have certain involvement in cancer development. We have screened
other reported inherited variants to conclude their role in the development of breast/ovarian cancer. This will help us in categorizing high-risk
populations and postulating treatment and preventive modalities.

Authors: Agarwal Pooja , Garg Isha , Prakash Swati , Rani Deepa
Published: January 2025

Adenomatoid tumors are rare benign tumors of mesothelial origin having a unique histology. These tumors have a very
low incidence. They can be accidentally found in the uterus and fallopian tube and may resemble leiomyomas on gross and
histological examination. They may also be present in the peritoneal cavity and other extragenital sites. Adenomatoid tumors exhibit different
patterns on histological examination that can sometimes lead to an inaccurate diagnosis. An accurate diagnosis may be made by understanding the
tumor's diverse histomorphological patterns and unusual appearances.

Along with neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD), there are various other causes of longitudinally extensive
transverse myelitis (LETM). This study is planned to evaluate etiological, clinical and radiological profile of LETM. This
was a prospective, observational, descriptive study. Total 46 (male 25, female 21) subjects were enrolled. Maximum patients were from age group
of 20-40 years (47.82%). Common clinical presentations were paraparesis (30, 65.21%) and bowel/bladder disturbance (34, 73.91%). Most
frequent location of LETM in MRI was dorsal cord (17, 36.95%). We found NMOSD (22, 47.82%) as most common etiology of LETM. We also
found LETM of undetermined etiology in 7 (15.21%) subjects. LETM has broad spectrum of etiologies. Involvement of dorsal spinal segment is
common whereas in NMOSD it is cervical. NMOSD is the most common cause of LETM and in about half of the patients other etiologies were
found. Infectious causes like tuberculous myelitis needs specific treatment.

TWIST IN THE TALE - A CASE OF TORTUOUS BILATERAL COMMON AND INTERNAL CAROTID ARTERIES PRESENTING WITH SEIZURE
Authors: Raees Mohammed
Published: January 2025

The tortuous carotid artery is a rare anatomic abnormality defined as vascular elongation leading to an altered course. It
can be discovered incidentally or have clinically significant manifestations. The most common location is the internal
carotid artery or, less commonly, the common carotid artery1. This case report discusses a patient who had presented with tortuosity of both the
common and the internal carotid arteries. Tortuous arteries and veins are commonly observed in clinical scenarios. While mild tortuosity is
asymptomatic, severe tortuosity can lead to ischemic attack in distal organs. Clinical observations have linked tortuous arteries and veins with
aging, atherosclerosis, hypertension, genetic defects and diabetes mellitus [1]. Due to the grave prognosis of the condition if left untreated, early
diagnosis is of prime importance in preventing mortality.

It is well known that evaluating the effects of the PBL approach is necessary before it can be thoroughly introduced into the
medical curriculum. Numerous studies have assessed the PBL in terms of acquiring knowledge and developing core
competencies and attitudes. Research indicated that medical students' opinions about their curriculum substantially impact their academic success
and can be essential for evaluating medical program strengths and weaknesses. The cross-sectional study was conducted at Taibah University's
College of Medicine in the Al Madina region of Saudi Arabia. A total of 122, 69 male and 53 female students out of 149 enrolled in the course
completed the questionnaire. Most of the students responded positively to all the items in the questionnaire. PBL is an interesting teaching
methodology that leads to better understanding and long-lasting learning. We recommend inducting the PBL teaching method into the medical
curriculum but with prior training for faculty members who already have experience in traditional teaching.
A PROSPECTIVE OBSERVATIONAL STUDY ON EFFECT ON SEMEN PARAMETERS AFTER COUNSELLING IN THE DEPARTMENT OF OBSTETRICS & GYNAECOLOGY, SMS MEDICAL COLLEGE & HOSPITAL, JAIPUR
Authors: Sharma Swati , Meena Kusumlata
Published: January 2025

This observational study evaluated the impact of lifestyle-related factors on male fertility and the effectiveness of
counseling in improving semen parameters among 200 males attending a specialty clinic. Modern lifestyle habits,
including obesity, sedentary behavior, excessive mobile phone usage, smoking, alcohol consumption, and junk food intake, have been linked to
declining sperm quality, as evidenced by reduced sperm concentration, motility, vitality, and morphology. Participants were assessed for these
habits and counseled to adopt healthier lifestyle choices. The findings revealed that these factors significantly contributed to male infertility by
affecting semen quality and reproductive health. Counseling resulted in measurable improvements in all semen parameters, including sperm
concentration, motility, and morphology, while also enhancing endocrine control of reproductive functions. Notably, 31% of the participants'
spouses conceived after lifestyle modification, underscoring the potential of targeted counseling in addressing male infertility. This study
highlights the critical role of lifestyle interventions in improving male reproductive health and supports their inclusion in infertility treatment
protocols.

Authors: Gupta Vedika , Mehrotra Ragini , Sachan Nidhi , Chaurasia Amrita
Published: January 2025

Background -Adolescents constitute over 21.4% of the population in India. Gynaecological problems in adolescents can
be structural, hormonal, or functional. These issues occupy a special space in the spectrum of gynaecological disorders
because they are often different from the conditions that affect adult women. These issues are varied, encompassing menstrual disorders,
infections, and other reproductive health challenges, The burden of gynaecological problems among Indian adolescents is a significant public
health concern as a large proportion of adolescent girls in India suffer from gynaecological morbidities. This study aimed to Objectives:
estimate the prevalence of gynaecological problems among adolescent girls attending OPD at a tertiary care centre and analyse the various
clinical presentations in this population. Methods: An institution-based observational study with a cross-sectional design was conducted over 12
months in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology at Swaroop Rani Hospital, Prayagraj. The study included 500 adolescent girls aged 10-
19 years who presented with gynecological problems. Data were collected using a researcher-administered questionnaire, detailed historytaking and clinical examinations. The study found that 67.6% of the participants reported menstrual Results: disorders, with dysmenorrhea
being the most prevalent (17.8%) among them. Amenorrhea, both primary (7.1%) and secondary (6.8%), was also notable. Vaginal discharge
was reported by 13.8% of the participants, and breast-related complaints, such as pain and lumps, affected 6%. Conclusion: Gynaecological
problems, particularly menstrual disorders, are highly prevalent among adolescent girls. The findings highlight the need for targeted health
education and interventions to manage these issues effectively, particularly in rural and socioeconomically disadvantaged populations. Regular
screening and early intervention are crucial to addressing these health challenges and improving the overall well-being of adolescent girls.
ASSESSMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL FUNGAL BIO-POLLUTION WITH VOLUMETRIC AIR SAMPLER
Authors: Thaware Jayshree
Published: January 2025

Environmental bio pollutant includes mostly the emission of pollen grains produced by flowering plants and spores
produced by various types of fungi. These bioparticles are microscopic. These pollen and spores in the atmosphere are
referred to as aeroallergens and produce allergic manifestations in sensitive human beings. Significant qualitative and quantitative variation
occurred in aeroallergens in the indoor and outdoor atmosphere. Spore trap samplers are capable of capturing all spores and particulate matter in
the air. While many mould spores have a unique morphology and are identifiable by direct microscopic examination. To study the qualitative and
quantitative prevalence of bio-pollutants in an outdoor environment, the volumetric Rotorod air sampler (Model-40) was installed on the roof of
S.K.Porwal College, Kamptee for consecutive one year (May 2015 to April 2016). A total of 67 pollen types and 24 species of fungal spores have
been identified. From the allergy point of view, pollen types such as Parthenium hysterophorus, Casuarina equisetifolia, Poaceae pollen grains,
Ricinus communis, Cassia species, Eucalyptus species and fungal species like Cladosporium, Nigrospora, Smut spores, Alternaria,
Helminthosporium, Penicillium and dominant Aspergillus spp. were found to be predominant types in the atmosphere of Kamptee.

Published: January 2025

The study evaluates the impact of occlusion therapy with and without Citicoline supplementation on macular thickness and visual acuity in
pediatric patients with amblyopia. A prospective, observational study was conducted over 12 months with 60 children divided into two groups:
occlusion therapy alone and occlusion therapy combined with citicoline. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) was used to measure macular
thickness, while visual acuity improvements were assessed through follow-ups. Results indicated that the group receiving citicoline with occlusion
therapy showed higher mean improvements in visual acuity and higher total mean change in macular thickness, though the differences were not
statistically significant. Additionally, socioeconomic and demographic factors such as age, gender, and socioeconomic status were balanced
across groups, though these may influence outcomes. While the addition of citicoline demonstrated consistent yet non-significant improvements,
the findings highlight the need for further research with larger sample sizes to validate these trends. The study underscores the potential of citicoline
as a complementary treatment for amblyopia, emphasizing the importance of macular thickness as a treatment efficacy metric and advocating for
comprehensive follow-up regimens.

Introduction: Nomophobia, the irrational fear of being without a mobile phone, was coined during a 2008 study by the UK Post Office and
YouGov. This term highlights the anxiety experienced by mobile phone users, especially with the advent of smartphones. Objectives: The study
aimed to assess the level of Nomophobia among students in selected colleges of Nadiad city and to determine the association between Nomophobia
levels and selected demographic data. Methodology: A non-experimental descriptive research design was employed. The study involved 200
students from selected colleges in Nadiad city, chosen through non-probability convenient sampling. Data was collected using a Modified
Nomophobia Questionnaire (NMP-Q). Results:Among the 200 students, 3 (1.5%) had an absent level of Nomophobia, 60 (30%) had a mild level,
115 (57.5%) had a moderate level, and 22 (11%) had a severe level. Significant associations were found between Nomophobia levels and
demographic variables such as gender, monthly income, hours spent on mobile phones, frequency of notification checks, and preferred social
media content. These associations were analyzed using the Chi-Square test. Conclusion: The study reveals varying levels of Nomophobia among
college students in Nadiad. While many students were unaware of the term "Nomophobia," a significant number experienced it. This underscores
the need for targeted educational interventions to raise awareness about Nomophobia and its implications.
