A comparison between the efficacy of methylphenidate and cocaine for nasal vasoconstriction before nasal surgery—A randomized prospective study
Authors: Velmurugan Ramaiyan , Dhanush J.
Published: August 2024

Objectives: Cocaine is regularly utilized topically to give the vasoconstriction to nasal medical procedure; However, it is said to create intraoperative cardiovascular unfriendly impacts. Methylphenidate was considered in the place of cocaine as a substitute to look at the vasoconstriction in nasal medical procedure. Methods: Outcome of the study will be examining the vasoconstriction based on a 5-point scale (1 = unacceptable, 5 = excellent), followed by the administration of either 20–30 mg per day methylphenidate or 4% cocaine randomly to the adult patients subjected to nasal septoplasty. Results: Methylphenidate and cocaine were administered with 38 and 28 patients respectively. The quality of vasoconstriction was noticed to be good in both the groups with the median rating of 4.0 and a P value of 0.85. With both the gatherings, the median blood loss was 46 and 58 ml with a p estimation of 0.48. A non-mediocrity delta of 1 point with a p estimation of 0.009 and non-inadequacy delta of 24 ml with a p esteem 0.026 concerning vasoconstriction and blood loss individually is seen which demonstrates methylphenidate is comparable to cocaine. Non importance is noted with the recurrence of ventricular ectopy, ST section changes after nasal packing with the gatherings. Conclusions: With the results obtained, methylphenidate can be very well replaced for cocaine for vasoconstriction in septoplasty. As there are lot many underlying chances for cocaine abuse and administrative issues related to its handling, methylphenidate may serve as a substitute.

Published: August 2024

Few studies have examined racial or other disparities in terrorism sentences. Unlike previous research, this study incorporates all types of terrorism, several severity levels, and both state and federal cases. Using a database including all US terrorism cases between 2001 and 2018 (n = 825), we test for sentencing disparities based on race/ethnicity, gender, citizenship, state/federal court, and type of terrorism. Our results show some evidence for disparities, with foreign nationals and White supremacists receiving longer sentences and foreign non-jihadi terrorists receiving shorter sentences. We find limited evidence for racial disparities, including longer sentences for minority defendants within some severity levels. The “liberation hypothesis” predicting greater disparities for less-serious crimes was mainly unsupported. Whether prosecution occurred in state or federal court had little effect, suggesting that states are well-equipped to prosecute terrorists. Compared to jihadi defendants, anti-government defendants received larger “discounts” between initial allegations and charges of conviction, dramatically affecting sentence length.

Land cover change and carbon loss: A case study of the Pagsanjan-Lumban and Baroro watersheds in Luzon, Philippines
Authors: Pulhin Florencia , Magpantay Angelica , Almarines Nico , Predo Canesio , Pulhin Juan
Published: August 2024

The unequivocal increase in global surface temperature underscores the urgency to take drastic actions to halt the continuous accumulation of greenhouse gases (GHGs) in the atmosphere. One of the top five sectors contributing to global GHG emissions is agriculture, forestry, and other land uses (AFOLU). Despite being a significant carbon source, the FOLU sector is also a substantial carbon sink. Like other tropical countries, the Philippines' FOLU sector, particularly the watersheds, has great potential to store significant amounts of carbon. However, these watersheds experience land cover change over time, affecting their carbon storage capacity. This paper analyzes the land cover change in the Pagsanjan-Lumban Watershed (PLW) and Baroro Watershed (BW) in the Philippines from 2000 to 2020, assesses the impact of these changes on the amount of carbon stored, estimates the economic value of carbon sequestration, and recommends measures to enhance the role of the two watersheds in climate change mitigation. Google Earth Engine was used to classify a collection of remotely sensed optical and radar-derived terrain rasters into land use and land cover (LULC) maps, while Integrated Valuation and Ecosystem Services and Tradeoffs (InVEST) software estimated the carbon stocks of the watersheds. In addition, the social cost of carbon (SCC) was employed to provide economic insights into future climate change impacts of current carbon emissions. Results revealed that the total estimated carbon stocks in 2020 in the PLW and BW are 6.41MtC and 2.01 MtC, respectively. An overall decline in carbon sequestration in both watersheds was observed over the two-decade period, and it was primarily due to forest cover reduction for urban and agricultural expansion. PLW exhibited an overall economic benefit, while BW faced economic costs associated with land cover changes. These findings highlight the influence of watershed management on carbon storage capacity; hence, developing site-specific strategies through appropriate management measures and interventions is critical to increasing or at least recovering its former carbon stock potential. The research output can be an effective additional input in spatial planning and decision-making in the study sites.
Major natural hazards in Nepal Himalaya
Authors: Kshetri Ramji
Published: August 2024

The Himalayan range was formed by the collision of the Indian plate and the Eurasian plate about 55 million years ago, and this process is still ongoing. This is why the Himalayas are known as the youngest mountain range in the world. The Himalayan chain extends between the vast plains of the Indus and Brahmaputra rivers in the south and the high Tibetan Plateau in the north. From east to west, it is delineated by the eastern and western Himalayan bends. The range is approximately 2400 km long and 200-300 km wide. The ongoing collision continues to shape the Himalayas, with Nepal playing a crucial role as it lies entirely within this range. The dynamics of this continental collision create remarkably diverse geological conditions within Nepal's narrow width of about 250 km. These conditions, along with significant topographical changes, contribute to various geological hazards, including earthquakes, landslides, floods, soil erosion, and debris flows [3]. Additionally, the high rate of glacier melting due to global warming poses a serious threat to Glacial Lake Outburst Flood (GLOF) hazards. However, the risk level of these hazards varies throughout Nepal. In this paper, the author investigates significant natural hazard events in Nepal, with a primary focus on geological hazards, and explores their causes and consequences. The study reveals that Nepal is among the most disaster-prone countries globally, experiencing major hazardous events occasionally. Each year, Nepal faces numerous hazardous incidents, resulting in the loss of lives and extensive damage to infrastructure across the country. The research highlights the unpredictability and severity of these events. The findings underscore the importance of understanding the underlying geological factors contributing to these hazards and the critical impact they have on Nepal's communities and development.

From 1999 to 2019, the Ternate Sultanate was at a crossroads along with the political dynamics in the Republic of Indonesia after the reformation. The results of this study indicate that during the observation period, the Ternate Sultanate contributed to resolving horizontal conflicts that occurred in Maluku and North Maluku, playing a role in strengthening regional autonomy in the North Maluku province, laying down a good democratic and development order for the development of the Maluku Kieraha region.
The Application of Article 56 Paragraph (1) of the Indonesian Criminal Procedure Code (KUHAP) from a Human Rights Perspective in Relation to the Integrated Criminal Justice System in Indonesia
Authors: Sepranadja
Published: August 2024

Law enforcement aims to promote societal order and legal certainty by clearly defining the roles, responsibilities, and authorities of the institutions tasked with upholding the law, in accordance with their respective jurisdictions. This process extends beyond the mere fulfillment of duties; it involves the comprehensive enforcement of legal norms. The law serves as a mechanism for safeguarding human interests, and to protect these interests effectively, it must be applied equitably. Upholding basic human rights is imperative, and no entity, including the state, has the right to infringe upon an individual's fundamental rights. The adoption of the Miranda Rule/Miranda Principles into Indonesian positive law—through the enactment of Law Number 39 of 1999 on Human Rights and Law Number 12 of 2005 on the Ratification of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights—has strengthened the rights of suspects and defendants, particularly their right to legal assistance and defense. The Miranda Rule/Miranda Principles are vital to the criminal justice system, particularly in protecting the rights of suspects during interrogation. As a legal state, Indonesia upholds these principles, which are integrated into various judicial laws. These principles emphasize the necessity for law enforcement officers to prioritize the rights of suspects and defendants. Providing legal assistance to suspects or defendants is a fundamental aspect of the criminal justice system, and it is expected that all law enforcement officers conduct their duties in a coordinated manner, adhering to the principles of this system. The presence of legal counsel, as mandated by Article 56 of the Indonesian Criminal Procedure Code (KUHAP), is essential; neglecting this requirement can result in the nullification of the proceedings' outcomes, including investigations, prosecutions, or trials.

Published: August 2024

This study aims to comprehensively examine the reality of the dynamics of marriage dispensation application cases at the Singkil Sharia Court, Aceh Singkil Regency, the judge's considerations in accepting or rejecting marriage dispensation applications, and the legal basis used by the judge in deciding marriage dispensation cases at the Singkil Sharia Court, Aceh Singkil Regency. This study uses a naturalistic qualitative approach with a field research method. Data collection techniques are carried out through observation, interviews, and documentation. This study is descriptive naturalistic, which aims to clearly and in detail describe the social reality at the Singkil Sharia Court, Aceh Singkil Regency. The results of the study indicate that the process of submitting a marriage dispensation application at the Singkil Sharia Court reflects the same requirements as the Supreme Court Regulation (Perma) No. 5 of 2019. The findings indicate that the main reasons for the application include parental concerns about indecent behavior, customary considerations and scheduling of wedding receptions, and premarital sexual relations. The judge's basis for deciding on a marriage dispensation application involves considerations such as the absence of parents in mediation, family pressure, and document inconsistencies. The judge's considerations in deciding on a marriage dispensation include the child's readiness to live in a household, psychological and financial capabilities, and approval from the extended family. This study emphasizes the importance of adjusting decisions to existing regulations to ensure fairness.
Does Machine Learning Forecast Investor’s Risk Appetite?
Authors: Özkan Nesrin , Ö. Yalıncaklı Nurgül
Published: August 2024

Risk appetite is an important indicator that is monitored with interest by financial market participants. One of the risk appetite indices is nominated “RISE risk appetite index” calculated to measure the riskiness of the Turkey market in general. There are very limited studies in the literature on RISE risk appetite, and most of them use simple econometric methods to predict the risk appetite. To the best of our knowledge, there is no study using machine learning algorithms. Therefore, it creates curiosity on how the success will be in estimating the risk appetite using machine learning algorithms. Thus, the aim of this paper is to measure the estimation success of the RISE index using Long Short-term Memory (LSTM) and Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP). The analysis is based on a weekly frequency dataset covering the years 2008 to 2023. The results are compared as per RMSE values, and LSTM presents rather high prediction success compared to MLP. Due to the forecasting ability of BIST 100 index on RISE, the current and lagged values of BIST 100 are compared, and lagged values of BIST 100 are found to have a higher ability to estimate RISE, approximately twice as much as current values. It is expected that this valuable finding will be a guide for market participants and financial analysts to shape their investment preferences by using deep learning algorithms in predicting market expectations and to make well-directed investments.

Clostridium novyi infection causing sow mortality in an Iberian pig herd raised in an outdoor rearing system in Spain
Authors: Garcia Alfredo , Ayuso Dolores , Benitez jose Manuel , Garcia Waldo Luis , Martinez Remigio , Sanchez Sergio
Published: August 2024

Clostridium novyi was the suspected cause of death of two mature gestating Iberian-breed sows, on evidence of a gas-filled necrotic liver, rapid decomposition and tympany of the carcasses, and the absence of any other detectable cause of death. Anaerobic cultures yielded large numbers of Clostridium-like organisms, and C novyi type B was identified using a multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay. In cases of unexpected mortality in gestating sows, veterinarians need to be aware of the most common causes of death, including C novyi infection. In order to achieve a correct diagnosis, it is essential to perform a postmortem examination and collect samples as soon as possible after death. In addition, use of PCR procedures may allow rapid identification of C novyi and the types implicated.

Authors: Tucker Anita , Widowski Tina , Friendship Robert
Published: August 2024

Objectives: To examine prevalence of abnormal dental and oral conditions in weaned piglets and associations with weight gain, and to determine if premolar eruption status remains stable within a population. Materials and methods: Study One: In February, March, and April of 2009, oral exams were performed on 735 piglets at weaning. Deciduous teeth were recorded as being erupted or not. Occlusion between premolars was noted. A superscript (or subscript) number indicated position within the maxilla (or mandible) of incisors, canines, and premolars (i, c, and p, respectively). Prevalences of tooth damage, oral lesions, and staining or caries were determined. Pig weights were recorded at weaning and 3 weeks later. Study Two: Premolar eruption and occlusion data from 2009 (208 piglets) were compared to 2007 data (180 piglets). Results: Study One: Eruption of p3 and p4 were positively associated with weight gain at 3 weeks post weaning (p3, P < .0001; p4, P = .048), with eruption of i1 showing a similar trend (P < .01). Dental caries or staining on i1 were negatively associated with weight gain (P < .05). Study Two: Dentition was more advanced at 2 weeks (p3, P < .01; p4, P < .05; occlusion of p3 and p4, P < .01), 3 weeks (p3, P < .01), and 4 weeks of age (occlusion of p3, p4, and p4, P < .01) in 2009 than in 2007. Implications: Tooth eruption and condition at weaning are associated with future weight gain. Herd premolar eruption and occlusion status changes over time.

Authors: Pittman Jeremy , Shepherd Gene , Thacker Brad , Myers Gil
Published: August 2024

Trichuris suis, the swine whipworm, can cause severe diarrhea, anorexia, and performance losses owing to reduced average daily gains and decreased feed efficiency. Severity of disease and impact on performance are related to infectious dose or concurrent infections. Trichuris suis is present in modern swine operations, but is an uncommon and perhaps neglected diagnosis. This paper describes an incidental finding of T suis in a finishing facility, with negligible impact on production, but demonstrates the continued presence of the parasite in modern swine production. This paper also provides a current review of T suis, trichuriasis, and control strategies.

The effect of temperature treatment, either increasing or decreasing the temperature of leuco dyes, can produce thermochromic by looking at the changing color of samples resulting from experiments. The colors that are seen namely brightness (L), a* value, b* value, chroma, degree of hue (oHue), color difference ( E), and color density (CD). This research was conducted to analyze the temperature treatment of the thermochromic leuco dye against color characteristics resulting from meta-analysis using secondary data from pre-existing research. The total number of journals used was 21 studies and the data obtained were 82 sets of treatments. The data were then analyzed using IBM SPSS software, which used quadratic and linear regression models. The results of the study with a temperature range between -8°C to 95°C show that the effect of temperature treatment with an increase in temperature can cause a significant elevation impact on brightness values (p <0.002, R2 0.174), b* (P <0.01, R2 0.146), color difference ( E) (P <0.0012, R2 0.117), and ohue (P <0.053, R2 0.087). A significant reduction effect can be seen in the chroma value (P <0.007 R2 0.134) and the color density (P <0.007, R2 0.128). The impact of temperature treatment was not significant (p> 0.1) for a* value.

Unpasteurized avocado juice is a popular food product, considered natural, fresh, and healthy. Microbial contamination in unpasteurized juice is high and can pose health risks to humans. Such processing technology is applied to reduce the level of contamination, such as pasteurization, adding preservatives, cooling/freezing temperature, or adding antimicrobial compounds. Honey has a high sugar content, low pH, contains hydrogen peroxide, and organic acid that can inhibit the growth of pathogenic bacteria. This research aims to determine the antibacterial activity of honey in avocado juice using different types of honey types including honey produced by Apis dorsata (AD), Apis mellifera from wildflowers (AMW), Trigona sp (TG) and A. mellifera from kapok (Ceiba pentandra) (AMC) flowers). The second factor was honey concentration (5, 10, and 15%). The results showed that after 2h of incubation, AD honey inhibited the total coliform bacteria by 98.84% at a concentration of 10%, AMW honey effectively inhibited total Staphylococci by 99.04% at a concentration of 15%, and TG honey successfully inhibited total Salmonella-Shigella bacteria at a concentration of 15%. Therefore, using honey in avocado juice can inhibit the growth of pathogenic bacteria, although it has not reached the minimal limits of fruit juice quality standards. Further research is needed to determine the minimum inhibitory concentration of honey required to inhibit pathogenic bacteria in avocado juice.
