Исследование посвящено актуальной проблеме стоматологии - хроническому генерализованному пародонтиту у больных туберкулёзом лёгких. Заболевания пародонта благоприятствуют развитию и отягощают течение общесоматических заболеваний, и соответственно наоборот, предопределяя хронический генерализованный пародонтит, как злободневную медико-социальную проблему современности. При коморбидной инфекционной патологии, включая туберкулез лёгких, фронтальными воротами для инфекции является полость рта. В работе проведён анализ влияния туберкулёза лёгких на развитие хронического генерализованного пародонтита. Описаны современные стоматологические индексы, применяемые при исследовании пародонта. Исследование проводили в двух сопоставимых по полу и возрасту группах, сравнивая индексные показатели и клинические проявления пародонтита. Для определения плана диспансерного мониторинга за пациентами, у которых в анамнезе присутствуют хроническое воспаление пародонта на фоне коморбидного хронического инфекционного заболевания необходимо обращать внимание на компетентностную дифференцированную тактику, направленную на пролонгированную программу лекарственной терапии и реабилитации, которые зависят от тяжести заболевания, неудовлетворительного характера течения патологического процесса в пародонте

The study is devoted to an urgent problem of dentistry - chronic generalized periodontitis in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis. Periodontal diseases favor the development and aggravate the course of general somatic diseases, and, accordingly, vice versa, predetermining chronic generalized periodontitis as a topical medical and social problem of our time. In comorbid infectious pathology, including pulmonary tuberculosis, the oral cavity is the frontal gateway for infection. The paper analyzes the influence of pulmonary tuberculosis on the development of chronic generalized periodontitis. Modern dental indices used in the study of periodontal disease are described. The study was conducted in two groups comparable in gender and age, comparing index indicators and clinical manifestations of periodontitis. To determine the plan of dispensary monitoring of patients who have a history of chronic periodontal inflammation against the background of comorbid chronic infectious disease, it is necessary to pay attention to competence-based differentiated tactics aimed at a prolonged program of drug therapy and rehabilitation, which depend on the severity of the disease, the unsatisfactory nature of the course of the pathological process in the periodontal

The importance of compatible restoration of historic masonries cannot be overemphasized, as it helps maintain the historic structures for sustainable development, economic growth, and the representation of a country's history. This paper acknowledges the existence of extensive research work on historic mortar characterization, the proposition of restoration materials, and the awareness raised about the use of incompatible restoration materials. However, the concept of historic mortar characterization still faces some challenges in methodology, material sampling, and mortar decay that need to be confronted. The problem extends further to designing and producing compatible restoration mortars for historical monuments. The work has not been extended to evaluate the compatibility and durability of the designed mortars. This creates uncertainty about the effectiveness of such proposed solutions. These could be overcome by analyzing the physical, chemical, mineralogical, and mechanical properties of the original representative mortar samples collected from historic structures and the proposed repair mortars before executing repairs. It is believed that investigations into the mix designs help achieve successful restoration work. This review presents the recent advances in historic mortar characterization and is intended to be a useful tool for historic restoration teams when tackling conservation activities on historic masonries.

Authors: O Kumara , A. H. Kumar Naik , L. Rajashekhar , Goudra Shivanand
Published: September 2023

In India, 80 per cent of the farmers are small and marginal farmers. They primarily depend on agriculture and allied activities for their livelihood security. The rice-rice cropping system reduces farm income, declined soil fertility and other soil degradation problems. The farming system approach is a holistic tool to address the problems of mono-cropping through diversification that enhances farm income, production and employment. A field study was conducted during 2011–2018 to study the impact of the rice-based integrated crop-livestock system (ICLS) for profitability, carbon emission and sustainability. Recycling of resources and residues led to higher productivity (58.9 %) and net profit (48.5 %) over the initial year by adopting rice-based ICLS. This system had a net profit of $ 3097/year and generated 776 man T days/ha/year employments. In ICLS, the recyclable farm waste material of 28.98 tons is converted into organic manures of 16.03 tons and saves the fertilizer’s cost of $ 504 per year. It can be a sustainable model with a sustainable yield index (0.11) of for wet situations with less carbon-emitting and profitable.
Azo dye degrading bacteria and their mechanism: A review
Authors: Upadhyay Manasi , Mondal Ahana , Saha Biswajit
Published: September 2023

Major part of the aesthetics and beauty of idols, textiles, paper, paintings industries, etc. finds its roots in the use of colours (azo compound). These synthetic dyes can not degrade easily by physical and chemical means and are toxic for the environment and animals including humans. Even if they get degraded, it becomes difficult to get rid of the secondary toxic products.  Microbes especially bacteria can be used which results cheap, eco friendly and complete degradation of azo dye products without production of any secondary toxic products (or secondary products with way lesser toxicity). Also, it requires no new chemical to be added (in an attempt to degrade azo dye) in an already polluted environment, as the bacterial enzymes would do the job without requiring any other added chemicals. This review article discusses the use of bacteria for azo dye degradation, the bacterial enzymes such as laccase etc. that degrade azo dye and how they work to decolourise the dyes, the common genetic elements found in the different bacteria that can degrade azo dye. This article also includes information on future prospects and some genetically modified organism (GMO) that are being/ (can be) brought to use for dye degradation and pollution reduction.

Texas's "Operation Lone Star": The Supremacy Clause and Dual Federalism in Light of Arizona v. United States
Authors: Ramirez Reynaldo
Published: September 2023

The Supremacy Clause of Article Six of the United States Constitution was enacted to remedy the failures of the Articles of Confederation. Initially, the states enjoyed near-boundless state sovereignty in nearly all aspects of the first federalist government. However, in practice, the necessity of federal supremacy for conducting the business of governing obligated the states to prioritize national interests above the states’ sovereignty. To do so required revision of the Articles of Confederation. This drafting culminated in the contentious ratification of the Constitution in 1788, including the Supremacy Clause and the Tenth Amendment. That said, ratifying the Supremacy Clause and establishing the demarcations of state sovereignty as provided by the Tenth Amendment was antagonistic, while state and federal laws each explored the margins of the other’s authority. The first challenge commenced with McCulloch v. Maryland and the Necessary and Proper Clause, which established the implicit powers necessary to exercise those powers enumerated in the Constitution. Commencing with the Naturalization Act of 1790, immigration became a matter for the federal government to regulate. Since the Naturalization Act’s enactment, the U.S. Supreme Court has consistently held that the federal government has broad and exclusive authority in immigration.

Corpus Extraction and Purification Process for AI-based Chinese Character Translation
Authors:   Korean Association for Literacy, Jeon Byeong-gu
Published: September 2023

It is fun to imagine how good it would be to be able to translate a lot of Chinese classics by using AI in an era where the field of AI is expanding day by day. This is why commercialization of machine translation called artificial intelligence can drastically reduce the manpower and time spent on classical Chinese translation. To this end, various institutions are improving their performance by developing artificial intelligence Chinese character recognition and Chinese character translation programs. AI-based Chinese character translation, research is concentrated in the field of technology, and there are no reported studies on the corpus extraction process and purification process.
For deep learning, which trains artificial intelligence, automatic translation data, that is, corpus that connects Chinese text and translations in parallel, must be created. In order to make a corpus, a lot of corpus data is extracted through human translation, and a high-quality corpus is made through refining based on detailed guidelines. Here, we tried to confirm the purification process of how the extracted corpus data were selected.
As a result of checking the corpus purification process, words such as various titles, items, and names, metrological units or number of people were all excluded. Short sentences containing place names, human names, government posts, places, products, dates, and proper nouns were also removed because they were not appropriate as corpus. In addition, prefixes consisting of one or two letters, such as adverbs, conjunctions, tense, and pronounciation at the beginning of the sentence, were deleted. In the future, it is expected that the time and expense of translation will be greatly reduced if extraction is carried out in consideration of these contents in the construction of corpus for AI-based Chinese character translation.

Authors:   Korean Association for Literacy, Min Jungho
Published: September 2023

This study designed a wiki activity and analyzed the characteristics of egocentrism that international students exhibit, focusing on theses as they require a strong writer identity. For this instruction, this study theoretically examined the logical relationship between strengthening egocentrism and weakening writer identity, and explains why the wiki activity presents a good solution. International students’egocentrism characteristics were reviewed, and examples of a writing instruction model, wiki activity, and examples that applied the wiki activity, were presented. This study is meaningful because its design will bolster writing activities, using wiki to focus on both high egocentrism and low writer identity in writing theses.
Intercultural Teaching and Learning design for Korean Learners Impact on the Improvement of Cultural Intelligence
Authors:   Korean Association for Literacy, Mun Hui-jin , Jang Hyeon-jeong
Published: September 2023

Based on Byram’s theoretical model and Holzbrecher’s heuristic teaching and learning process, this study designed intercultural teaching and learning for Korean learners, and empirically analyzed its impact on cultural intelligence improvement by applying a two-way group pre-post test to Vietnamese middle and advanced-level learners. This study incorporated methods such as language learning, language recognition, cultural recognition, cultural experience, and the ethnographic approach to enhance intercultural interaction for Korean learners, and examined the changes using Ang et al.’s (2007) cultural intelligence scale. As a result of the analysis, it was found that intercultural teaching and learning for Korean learners had a significantly high impact on ‘metacognitive CQ’, ‘cognitive CQ’, and ‘motivational CQ’. On the other hand, it transpired that ‘behavioral CQ’ did not have a significant effect, indicating that the behavioral expression of Korean learners was not sufficiently reflected in the teaching and learning design.
Research Trends in the Korean Language Curriculum for Academic Purposes: Focused on Curriculum Research for Domestic University and Graduate Studies
Authors:   Korean Association for Literacy, Oh Kyoungsook
Published: September 2023

This paper aims to evaluate the current status and performance of research on the Korean language curriculum for academic purposes by analyzing current trends and to suggest future research directions. The results of the study are as follows: 1) Academic-purpose Korean language curriculum research began in 2000; there was a constant number of papers until 2010, but they increased rapidly between 2011 and 2015, since when the number of studies has remained unchanged. 2) Research aimed at “curriculum design/development” accounted for 70% of the total. 3) 87% of all studies were conducted on the undergraduate curriculum, and half of them were Korean curriculum studies for general academic purposes. 4) About 76% of the studies did not subdivide the research area, while subdivided studies mainly focused on functional areas centered on writing and speaking. 5) In research methods, quantitative research, literature research, and mixed research were conducted in similar proportion, and only about 7% involved only qualitative research. Research on the Korean language curriculum for academic purposes is gradually becoming specialized and diversified in terms of research subjects, areas, and methods, but still shows a tendency to be biased. Accordingly, this paper proposes for future research: 1) improving research bias and non-connection, 2) developing a systematic curriculum passing through all stages of design, implementation, and evaluation, 3) implementing segmentation and a balanced approach by research area, and 4) developing a curriculum that reflects learners’ learning environment and academic performance.
Development and Validation of a Developmental Scale of Writing Abilities
Authors:   Korean Association for Literacy, Chang Sungmin
Published: September 2023

Based on Bereiter’s (1980) theoretical model of the development of writing abilities, this study developed and validated a scale applicable to Korean high school and college students with 25 items (5 items per factor) in five factors divided into “associative, performative, communicative, unified, and epistemic writing.” In addition, the simplex assumption was checked to see if the five stages of the development of writing abilities identified by Bereiter were developmentally connected as per the original theoretical model.
The main findings of the study are as follows: First, associative, performative, communicative, and unified writing were developmentally linked, while epistemic writing was not. Second, associative writing was either negatively correlated with other factors or its values were not statistically significant. Third, considering rhetorical context, including readers’ level, interest, response, and counterargument, was inversely related to fluency in written language production and idea generation.
A Study on the Poetic Rhythm of Kim Soo-Young’s poetry: Focused on the Speed of Poetic Speech
Authors:   Korean Association for Literacy, Jang cheul whoan
Published: September 2023

This paper is a study on the rhythm consciousness in Kim Soo-young’s poetry, as a preliminary work to identify the rhythm of his poetry. In particular, it is intended to clarify that ‘speed’ is the main gateway to understanding the modernity of rhythm consciousness in his poetry. To put it simply, ‘speed’ in his poetry appears in three major layers. First, ‘speed’ is the main characteristic of the reality of the time that represents the uniqueness of Korean society in the 1950s and 1960s. Second, ‘speed’ reveals the energy and direction of his poetic thought. It explains how the two vectors of ‘freedom’ and ‘sorrow’ can coexist. Third, ‘speed’ is a major indicator of the aesthetic value of his poetic speech. In general the repetition and segmentation of lines in poetry accelerates or decelerates the speed of reality and thoughts. This change in speed is what weaves the unique texture and stream of the rhythm of his poetry.
To clarify this, in chapter 2, Kim Soo-young’s perception and attitude toward ‘the speed of civilization’ will be compared with that of Kim Ki-rim. In chapter 3, I will examine the unique view of time inherent in ‘speed’ and clarify that it is in contact with ‘Time of Kairos’. In chapter 4, I will confirm that the difference in tempo according to the length of the execution is the main index to measure the ‘speed’ of poetic speech. The contribution of his poetry to the development of modern poetry is not small in that the critical consciousness of the world and the self is expressed in everyday language and achieves an outstanding aesthetic achievement. In this context, it can be said that the ‘speed’ he tried to realize in free verse and prose poetry diverges the new archetype of modern Korean poetry.

Exploring The Moderating Effect of Spiritual Resilience on The Relationship between Psychological Resilience and Mental Health
Authors: Güldaş Fatümetül Zehra , Karslı Feyza
Published: September 2023

In recent years, the literature has increasingly emphasized potential factors contributing to resilience, with a particular focus on components related to spirituality and their interconnectedness with mental health. However, research findings regarding the role of spirituality have proven to be complex. This cross-sectional study explored whether spiritual resilience moderates the connection between psychological resilience and mental health. The study sample, consisting of 280 adults (81.1% female, 18.9% male) aged 18-65 years (M= 25.19; SD= 7.87) living in Turkey, completed a questionnaire that included a socio-demographic form, the Spiritual Resilience Scale, the Connor-Davidson Psychological Resilience Scale (short-form), and the General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-12). The results of the t-test analysis indicated that individuals who placed a high level of importance on religious beliefs exhibited high scores in spiritual resilience (p< .05). The correlation analysis results indicated positive correlations in the expected direction between psychological resilience and spiritual resilience.
In contrast, psychological and spiritual resilience negatively correlated with general health. The findings from the moderator analysis indicated that spiritual resilience has a moderating role in the relationship between psychological resilience and general health. Consequently, enhancing spiritual resilience is crucial in the interplay between psychological resilience and mental health.
Knowledge on street food safety among a selected group of Sri Lankan students; A cross-sectional study
Authors: Kodikara V. S. , De Silva R. M. , Nandapala J. Y. H. P. , Ranadeva N. D. K.
Published: September 2023

Introduction: Street food has been frequently reported to contribute to foodborne illnesses. As a result, the safety of street food has been given major attention. Numerous studies have shown that a lack of knowledge among university students regarding street food safety results in a risk of contracting food-borne illnesses.

Objective: Determine the knowledge of street food safety among undergraduate students.

Methodology: A pre-tested, self-administered questionnaire was used to collect data related to students’ socio-demographic details and food safety knowledge. In this study, 332 street food consumers (220 females and 112 males) voluntarily participated. The data were analyzed with SPSS version 26 using p value < 0.05 as statistical significance. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used for analysis.

Results: The study showed that street food consumers’ knowledge on food safety was average. The knowledge regarding food safety was not significantly associated with socio-demographic factors assessed (gender, age, ethnicity, marital status, study program, academic year, and accommodation method) (p > 0.05). The majority of consumers were aware of the possibility of food contamination, the value of washing hands, and the need for adequate hygiene in order to prevent foodborne illnesses. However, some aspects related to knowledge of food safety caused concerns. The majority of customers found it difficult to understand that food does not transmit AIDS.

Conclusion: Young adults should be educated about food hygiene and safety. However, further studies are necessary to confirm these findings.

There are many factors that facilitate this violence, but also some that are protective. It is a crucial question whether the causes of abuse can be found in the patients, in external factors or in the situation.Methodology: Following an extensive Hungarian and international literature review, Authors used a self-developed semi-structured online questionnaire with a total of ten questions, involving 51 participants, from which 21 responded. The topics of the questions were: definition of intentional and non-intentional violence, description of the abuse, perceived risk factors, consequences of the incident, cause and goal, treatment, reporting, prevention, and other comments. The data corpus was examined using content analysis and coded in two stages.Findings: During the coding process, Authors found that situational causes underlie abuse in most areas. In case descriptions, external causes were also emphasized. In topics consequences and goals, patient-related criteria were the most frequent, and external factors were the first only in topic of risk factors. Staff-patient interaction is a crucial issue related to violence against health workers, but the potentially triggering psychiatric disorder of the child cannot always be excluded.Value: Most psychiatric disorders are caused by early trauma, and trauma is underpinned by adverse childhood experiences and deviant parental behaviour. However, the hospital is a part of a larger system and health problems have social roots. It should be underlined that direct causes of abuse are hidden in the staff-patient interaction, but in many cases parental deviance is also responsible for the onset of psychiatric disorders. Our research may contribute to a deeper understanding of this phenomenon and provide a basis for future quantitative research.

The bright star λ Ser hosts a hot Neptune with a minimum mass of 13.6 M
⊕ and a 15.5 day orbit. It also appears to be a solar analog, with a mean rotation period of 25.8 days and surface differential rotation very similar to the Sun. We aim to characterize the fundamental properties of this system and constrain the evolutionary pathway that led to its present configuration. We detect solar-like oscillations in time series photometry from the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite, and we derive precise asteroseismic properties from detailed modeling. We obtain new spectropolarimetric data, and we use them to reconstruct the large-scale magnetic field morphology. We reanalyze the complete time series of chromospheric activity measurements from the Mount Wilson Observatory, and we present new X-ray and ultraviolet observations from the Chandra and Hubble space telescopes. Finally, we use the updated observational constraints to assess the rotational history of the star and estimate the wind braking torque. We conclude that the remaining uncertainty on the stellar age currently prevents an unambiguous interpretation of the properties of λ Ser, and that the rate of angular momentum loss appears to be higher than for other stars with a similar Rossby number. Future asteroseismic observations may help to improve the precision of the stellar age.

Roughly half of Solar-type planet hosts have stellar companions, so understanding how these binary companions affect the formation and evolution of planets is an important component to understanding planetary systems overall. Measuring the dynamical properties of planet host binaries enables a valuable test of planet formation in multistar systems and requires knowledge of the binary orbital parameters. Using high-resolution imaging, we have measured the relative astrometry and visual orbits of 13 binary systems where one of the stars is known to host a transiting exoplanet. Our results indicate that the mutual inclination between the orbits of the binary hosts and the transiting planets are well aligned. Our results for close binary systems (a < 100 au) complement past work for wide planet host binaries from Gaia.

Gradients in the mass-to-light ratio of distant galaxies impede our ability to characterize their size and compactness. The long-wavelength filters of JWST’s NIRCam offer a significant step forward. For galaxies at Cosmic Noon (z ∼ 2), this regime corresponds to the rest-frame near-infrared, which is less biased toward young stars and captures emission from the bulk of a galaxy’s stellar population. We present an initial analysis of an extraordinary lensed dusty star-forming galaxy at z = 2.3 behind the El Gordo cluster (z = 0.87), named El Anzuelo (“The Fishhook”) after its partial Einstein-ring morphology. The far-UV to near-IR spectral energy distribution suggests an intrinsic star formation rate of

≈ 1.6, in line with other DSFGs on the star-forming main sequence. We develop a parametric lens model to reconstruct the source-plane structure of dust imaged by the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array, far-UV to optical light from Hubble, and near-IR imaging with 8 filters of JWST/NIRCam, as part of the Prime Extragalactic Areas for Reionization and Lensing Science program. The source-plane half-light radius is remarkably consistent from ∼1 to 4.5 μm, despite a clear color gradient where the inferred galaxy center is redder than the outskirts. We interpret this to be the result of both a radially decreasing gradient in attenuation and substantial spatial offsets between UV- and IR-emitting components. A spatial decomposition of the SED reveals modestly suppressed star formation in the inner kiloparsec, which suggests that we are witnessing the early stages of inside-out quenching.

Purpose: The treatment approach for non-metastatic bladder cancer is guided by an invasion of the muscular layer of the bladder wall. Radical cystectomy is the recommended treatment for muscle-invasive disease. However, it has considerable morbidity and mortality and is not suited for many patients. Trimodality therapy consisting of chemoradiation after transurethral resection of bladder tumor offers a definitive approach with bladder-sparing potential. However, there is a lack of research defining the optimal combination of chemotherapy and radiation in this setting.Materials and Methods: We extracted patient data from the National Cancer Database to compare survival outcomes and demographic factors in 2,227 non-metastatic bladder cancer patients who were treated with chemotherapy sequential to or concurrently with radiation. Sequential treatment was defined as chemotherapy beginning >14 days before radiation, and concurrent was defined as beginning within 14 days of the first radiation.Results: The sequential treatment group patients were younger (mean age, 74 vs. 78 years; p < 0.001) with more advanced disease. We found no difference in overall survival between patients who received chemotherapy sequential to radiation and those who received concurrent chemoradiation only (p = 0.533).Conclusion: Our data are concordant with a previous prospective study, and support that chemotherapy prior to radiation does not decrease survival outcomes relative to patients receiving only concurrent chemoradiation. Given that the sequential group had an overall higher stage but no difference in survival, downstaging chemotherapy prior to radiation may be helpful in these patients. Further studies including a larger, multi-institutional clinical trial are indicated to support clinical decision-making.

Purpose: We aimed to evaluate the time and cost of developing prompts using large language model (LLM), tailored to extract clinical factors in breast cancer patients and their accuracy.Materials and Methods: We collected data from reports of surgical pathology and ultrasound from breast cancer patients who underwent radiotherapy from 2020 to 2022. We extracted the information using the Generative Pre-trained Transformer (GPT) for Sheets and Docs extension plugin and termed this the “LLM” method. The time and cost of developing the prompts with LLM methods were assessed and compared with those spent on collecting information with “full manual” and “LLM-assisted manual” methods. To assess accuracy, 340 patients were randomly selected, and the extracted information by LLM method were compared with those collected by “full manual” method.Results: Data from 2,931 patients were collected. We developed 12 prompts for Extract function and 12 for Format function to extract and standardize the information. The overall accuracy was 87.7%. For lymphovascular invasion, it was 98.2%. Developing and processing the prompts took 3.5 hours and 15 minutes, respectively. Utilizing the ChatGPT application programming interface cost US $65.8 and when factoring in the estimated wage, the total cost was US $95.4. In an estimated comparison, “LLM-assisted manual” and “LLM” methods were time- and cost-efficient compared to the “full manual” method.Conclusion: Developing and facilitating prompts for LLM to derive clinical factors was efficient to extract crucial information from huge medical records. This study demonstrated the potential of the application of natural language processing using LLM model in breast cancer patients. Prompts from the current study can be re-used for other research to collect clinical information.
