Published: February 2024

Bladder cancer is the 2nd most frequent malignancy of the genitourinary tract and the fourth most common cancer in men . This study was designed to shed light on the association between polymorphism of macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) gene at -173 locus as risk factor of bladder cancer in Iraqi population by PCR-RFLP. In a hospital-based case-control study of 70 patients with bladder cancer and 30 cancer-free controls frequency-matched by age, sex, smoking status, and alcohol use, we genotyped the MIF polymorphism and analyzed immunohistochemical stained operational bladder cancer tissue sections for MIF. We found that individuals with GC/GG genotype had a significantly decreased risk of bladder cancer ( OR = 1.55, 95% CI, 0.498 to 8.85) than those with CC genotype. The frequencies of the C allele on the MIF gene were significantly increased in Urinary bladder carcinoma patients. MIF -173G>C polymorphism may play a role in the etiology of bladder cancer in Iraqi.

The next to follow was the chest in 36 cases (31.30%). Abdomenincluding pelvis was targeted in 18.26% cases and head was the soft target in only 14.78% cases. Lease affectedbody part was neck with only 3 cases.Conclusion: In 73.04% (84) cases, only a single body region was inflicted upon by use of firearm weapon. In fatalcases (11) of firearm injuries, head (54.55%) was the most commonly targeted body part followed by chest (36.36%)and abdomen (9.09%). This study indicated that the most common victims of firearm injuries were young males ofbread earning age. Certain changes may minimize mortality and disability due to firearm injuries, also reducingthe costs to the community. So, there is a need to decrease the number of firearms used and sold in India.
Morphological and Chemical Analysis of Farzi (Fake) Indian Currency
Authors: Niharika DN  , Rakesh. V
Published: February 2024

In Forensic Science, Morphological and chemical analysis of farzi currencies plays a very important role in identifying the counterfeit currency. The term “counterfeit” refers to fake or forgery which is an exact replica of the original. As there is a rapid advancement in technology there is a drastic increase in crime rate with respect to technology as well where culprits are using advanced and modern technologies for committing crime, here counterfeit currency falls one among them, where culprits are using wellversed technologies in manufacturing fake notes and coins which cannot be easily recognized by the public. In India though RBI is taking a lot of precautions to overcome counterfeiting by implementing high security features in Indian currency such that it cannot be duplicated easily, some or the other way these fake currencies are circulating in the society and people are lacking knowledge in identifying these fake notes and coins. Some of the security features for identifying these fake currencies is revealed to public by the RBI in its guidelines. Though criminals disguise the original by circulating fake currencies, it is impossible to implement the authenticated security features in it. The composition and its ratio of the original varies from the duplicate which is a loophole, and this can be easily analysed by forensic scientists by keen observations and conducting certain physical and chemical tests. We tried to differentiate between fake and original currencies of India by using RBI guidelines and by performing certain chemical tests through which counterfeit currencies can be analysed.

Authors: Kapil Yadav  , Devinder Kumar Atal  , Hitesh Chawla  , Renu Yadav  , Mustafa Khan  , Ravi Prakash Yadav
Published: February 2024

Background: Road traffic accidents are preventable public health issues and are becoming more common. These accidents can be linked to a number of factors, including an increase in the number of vehicles on the roads, changes in daily life, a nasty habit of breaking traffic laws, anarchic traffic systems, and risky driving practices. Thoraco-abdominal injury in different forms is one of the major causes of mortality in the victims of fatal road traffic accidents. The aim of this study was to know the pattern of thoraco-abdominal injuries in victims of fatal road traffic accident cases. Material & Method: The present study was conducted at the tertiary healthcare centre in southern Haryana. Total of 75 cases of fatal road traffic accident cases were enrolled during one year of study period. The basic information about the deceased like age, gender, mode of travel of the victim was obtained from investigating officer narration and inquest papers. During autopsy, detailed examination of injuries was carried out and the autopsy findings were recorded and analyzed. Results: It was observed that out of 75 cases male outnumbered females in ratio 5.25:1. Majority of the victims belonged to the age group 21-30 years. The commonest injury of the thoracic region was rib fracture (41.3%). It was also observed that 17.3% of victims had pelvic fracture. Conclusion: Human error is a major contributing factor to fatal RTAs, which can be avoided in many cases. A more stringent licensing policy, particularly for four-wheelers, increased knowledge of traffic laws, the reduction of drug abuse and an appropriate road network that is in line with traffic volume can help to reduce the number of fatal road traffic accidents.

Synthesis of π-conjugated polycyclic compounds by late-stage extrusion of chalcogen fragments
Authors: Okba Aissam , Simón Marqués Pablo , Matsuo Kyohei , Aratani Naoki , Yamada Hiroko , Rapenne Gwénaël , Kammerer Claire
Published: February 2024

The “precursor approach” has proved particularly valuable for the preparation of insoluble and unstable π-conjugated polycyclic compounds (π-CPCs), which cannot be synthesized via in-solution organic chemistry, for their improved processing, as well as for their electronic investigation both at the material and single-molecule scales. This method relies on the synthesis and processing of soluble and stable direct precursors of the target π-CPCs, followed by their final conversion in situ, triggered by thermal activation, photoirradiation or redox control. Beside well-established reactions involving the elimination of carbon-based small molecules, i.e., retro-Diels–Alder and decarbonylation processes, the late-stage extrusion of chalcogen fragments has emerged as a highly promising synthetic tool to access a wider variety of π-conjugated polycyclic structures and thus to expand the potentialities of the “precursor approach” for further improvements of molecular materials’ performances. This review gives an overview of synthetic strategies towards π-CPCs involving the ultimate elimination of chalcogen fragments upon thermal activation, photoirradiation and electron exchange.
Tales of Becoming: Borders and Posthuman Anxieties in Daisy Johnson’s "Starver" (2016)
Authors: Lojo Rodríguez Laura Maria
Published: February 2024

This article aims at examining Daisy Johnson’s collection of short stories Fen (2014) and, most particularly, its opening piece “Starver”, through the lens of posthuman feminism by arguing that Johnson’s collection poses forward a relational ontology which refuses to consider human subjectivity as exclusively restricted to the confines of human bodies by blurring traditional boundaries as constitutive of oppositions such as nature/culture, human/non-human, male/female which have traditionally articulated anthropocentric worldviews. Johnson’s focus on the English Fenlands as a borderline, liminal topology mirrors contemporary preoccupations with the porosity and instability of allegedly firm borders and, by extension, of identity. Johnson’s collection ultimately interrogates the relationship between individuals and their environment, radically distressed by human intervention and capitalist consumerism, thus heading to the “sixth extinction” of the Anthropocene.
Exploring The Effects of English as a Foreign Language on First Language Development of Young Children: The Case of Greece
Authors: Jansen Pieter Schalk
Published: February 2024

This study meticulously investigates the interplay between Early Second Language Acquisition (ESLA) and the potential emergence of first language disorders in the unique context of Greece. Embedded in the Complex Dynamic Systems Theory (CDST) paradigm, it aims to untangle existing ambiguities and explore implications for Greek society and education. Employing a Concurrent Mixed Methods Approach, the study attempts to unveil the intricate impacts of ESLA on First Language Development (FLD).Grounded in CDST's framework emphasizing linguistic system complexity, and interconnectedness, the research design employs a Descriptive Exploratory orientation through a Case Study Methodology. This facilitates comprehensive research into two cohorts of children aged four, representing monolingual Greek kindergartens (Cohort A) and English as a Foreign Language (EFL)-focused kindergartens (Cohort B).The research inquiries delve into multifaceted language development aspects amidst intricate linguistic dynamics. This involves nuanced analysis of potential performance disparities in the primary language pre- and post-interventions in early foreign language pedagogy, meticulous comparative assessment of both cohorts, and insightful exploration of EFL's implications on young children's nascent language development.Methodologically, data collection employs a language development assessment tool (Logometro®). The collection of both quantitative and qualitative data in this study is contingent upon the application of the Logometro® language assessment instrument. Thematic Analysis shapes the qualitative corpus, complemented by statistical analyses for quantitative data.Anticipated outcomes aim to enhance understanding among Greek educational authorities and the scientific community about intricate, adaptive ESLA impacts on FLD. Findings could influence enduring, impactful EFL policies shaped by Greek authorities. Overall, the research deepens comprehension of latent consequences tied to ESLA's effects on FLD, set within Greece’s intricate context. Nested within CDST's theoretical framework, the amalgamation of research methodology and insights provides a robust foundation for future inquiries and invaluable guidance for policymakers navigating English language education decisions among young learners.
Use of Nicotine-Containing Products During Pregnancy: Effects on Fetal Development
Authors: Chun Jeewon
Published: February 2024

Currently, the usage of tobacco products among adult females is prevalent, representing 10 out of 100 adult females (CDC, 2023). In addition, 4.0% of adult women have been reported as using e-cigarettes. This is mainly due to the addiction to nicotine, which releases dopamine in the brain, ultimately causing the user to want to consume more nicotine-containing products. When used during pregnancy, nicotine-containing products could be harmful to both the mother and the growing fetus. Nicotine consumption during pregnancy may impact the critical brain development period of the fetus, thus resulting in several serious birth defects. Among those who use nicotine-containing products, Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) may be used to facilitate reducing addiction to nicotine. NRT can be used as an ideal therapy to help quit smoking tobacco or e-cigarettes as it replaces much of the nicotine in nicotine-containing products, thus decreasing motivation to use tobacco. Despite the reduced nicotine levels, NRT is reported to show that it may pose a threat when used during pregnancy. As a whole, a few studies have revealed the potential detrimental connection between the usage of nicotine-containing products - including tobacco, e-cigarettes, and NRT - during pregnancy and its effects on the fetus. In spite of this, there has been little research done on the subject, which may lead to further complications if the public is largely unaware. This literature review aims to investigate the effects of nicotine-containing products on the developing fetus.

Authors: Hasham Husham , Marzook Ali
Published: February 2024

In this paper, an analysis of performance acceleration of an external laser source (ELS) model based polymer fiber gratings (PFGs) by reducing the turn-on delay time (TDelay) is successfully investigated numerically by optimizing model parameters. In contrast to all previous studies that relied either on approximate or experimental equations, the analysis was based on an exact numerical formula. The analysis is based on the investigation of the effect of diode injected current (Iin j), temperature (T), recombination rate coefficients (i.e. Anr, B, and C), and optical feedback (OFB) level.
Results have demonstrated that by optimizing model parameters the Delay can be controlled and reduced effectively.

The indolent nature and favorable outcomes associated with papillary thyroid microcarcinoma have prompted numerous prospective studies on active surveillance (AS) and its adoption as an alternative to immediate surgery in managing low-risk thyroid cancer. This article reviews the current status of AS, as outlined in various international practice guidelines. AS is typically recommended for tumors that measure 1 cm or less in diameter and do not exhibit aggressive subtypes on cytology, extrathyroidal extension, lymph node metastasis, or distant metastasis. To determine the most appropriate candidates for AS, factors such as tumor size, location, multiplicity, and ultrasound findings are considered, along with patient characteristics like medical condition, age, and family history. Moreover, shared decision-making, which includes patient-reported outcomes such as quality of life and cost-effectiveness, is essential. During AS, patients undergo regular ultrasound examinations to monitor for signs of disease progression, including tumor growth, extrathyroidal extension, or lymph node metastasis. In conclusion, while AS is a feasible and reliable approach for managing lowrisk thyroid cancer, it requires careful patient selection, effective communication for shared decision-making, standardized follow-up protocols, and a clear definition of disease progression.

The study constructed Valency Arm and Y-shaped Model Kits using local materials from the school community, serving as interventions for Sekyere Central District junior high students in Ghana. Effectiveness was tested using a quasi-experimental pre-test post-test control group design in teaching binary compounds writing and naming. We randomly selected four intact classes, two as the experimental group (n = 69) and the other two as the control group (n = 67). After constructing and using the model kits in the teaching and learning process of writing and naming binary compounds, it was found that the experimental group, who received instruction with the model kits, had better retention of the concepts and principles than the control group. These improved learning gains were evident in the three successive tests (Pillai's Trace = 0.440, F (2, 133) = 52.319, p = 0.000, partial eta squared = 0.440). Additionally, a semi-structured interview was conducted with 11 randomly selected respondents from the experimental group. This interview identified four critical features that the junior high school students perceived as benefits of using the model kits in teaching writing and naming binary compounds. These benefits were a better understanding of the principles, improved attitude towards writing and naming binary compounds, better retention of concepts, and active participation and interest in class lessons. The results imply that junior high school science teachers who want to promote effective teaching and learning of writing and naming binary compounds should consider using these model kits if the original models are unavailable.

We performed secular monitoring broadband photometric observations on Jupiter Family Comets (JFCs) 68P/Klemola and 78P/Gehrels 2 from 2018 November to 2020 March with the Yaoan High Precision Telescope. Our main purpose is to study the dust activity, coma properties, and dynamical history of the two comets and analyze the activity evolution of 78P/Gehrels 2 in the recent past. We use aperture photometry to obtain the magnitude and the A(0)f
ρ values from the R band observations. The maximum A(0)f
ρ values we recorded for 68P/Klemola and 78P/Gehrels 2 are 339.7 ± 4.4 cm and 1028.1 ± 13.3 cm, respectively, showing that the activity of 68P/Klemola is of middle level while 78P/Gehrels 2 is one of the most active JFCs. The mean color of 78P/Gehrels 2 is (B − V) = 0.88 ± 0.02 and (V − R) = 0.27 ± 0.02. Dynamical history analysis suggests that 78P/Gehrels 2 could have actually resided in this region for a long time in the past 1 Myr, though it recently migrated into the inner solar system. The high activity of 78P/Gehrels 2 reported in the past three perihelion passages could be attributed to the perihelion distance decl. from 2.3 to 2.0 au before 1997 that boosted the water-ice sublimation rate and formed new active regions. The activity decl. over recent apparitions could be attributed to the reformation of the dust mantle.

Objective

Current recommendations for the management of patients with axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) emphasize the need of an individualized strategy in therapeutic decision-making. The study objectives were to describe therapeutic strategies observed in axSpA, and to assess the factors associated with treatment intensification over time.

Methods

We included patients with axSpA from the French prospective cohort DESIR (Devenir des Spondylarthropathies Indifférenciées Récentes), with a scheduled 10-year follow-up. A multistate model with 4 ordered treatment states (no treatment, nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs [NSAIDs], conventional synthetic disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs [csDMARDs], and tumor necrosis factor inhibitors [TNFi]) was defined, with 6 possible transitions. Restricted mean sojourn times in each state were estimated. Then, predictors of those transitions were assessed by multivariable Cox models.

Results

A total of 686/708 (96.9%) patients who had > 1 visit were analyzed. At cohort entry, 199 (29%) were untreated, 427 (62.2%) were receiving NSAIDs, 60 (8.7%) csDMARDs, and none were receiving TNFi. Over the follow-up period, patients mostly (46.4% of the time) received NSAIDs, followed by TNFi (24.4% of the time). The presence of sacroiliitis on radiographs, inflammatory bowel disease, and articular index were jointly associated with the transition to NSAIDs. Longer duration in the previous state often decreased the hazard of the transition to csDMARDs or TNFi. Worse disease activity outcomes increased the hazard of most transitions.

Conclusion

To our knowledge, this was the first study using a multistate model to easily represent different treatment states, detailing the transitions across them and their associated factors. Different time profiles for the management of patients with axSpA were identified, including in those abstaining from treatment up to a significant proportion of patients treated with csDMARDs.

Antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis (AAV) is a type of systemic vasculitis characterized by autoantibody development against the neutrophil proteins leukocyte proteinase 3 (PR3)-ANCA and myeloperoxidase (MPO)-ANCA. We previously reported that newly developed AAV in Japan was influenced by seasonal variations and that AAV was less frequently observed in autumn.1
A middle La Tène Period sword from the Museum of Durrës, Albania

Published: February 2024

The present paper examines a sword dated in the La Tène Period, currently exhibited in the Archaeological Museum of Durrës, Albania. According to the scientific staff of the Museum the archaeological context of the sword has not been specified but the blade had been found in the necropolis of the city. The analysis of the sword is based on its typological features but also the historical, the archaeological and ethnological aspects of the region had been taken into consideration. The most significant feature of the blade is of course the bending. This feature led us to correlate the examined object with the Celts, who practiced this ritual of the intentional destruction “killing” a weapon. This is the first folded sword which had been found in the territory of the modern-day Albania.
Emperor Honorius’ letter to the Army in Hispania: historical and philological notes on the Epistula Honorii
Authors: Setién Carla
Published: February 2024

This article deals with a rare imperial document: a letter by the Emperor Honorius commonly known as the Epistula Honorii. According to its incipt, it was addressed to the soldiers stationed in Pamplona during the barbarian invasions of the first decade of the fifth century. Building upon the existing scholarship on this text, this work re-examines the Epistula’s textual transmission and content, offering new readings of it. In addition to a comparative analysis with other Late Antique and Early Medieval sources, primarily of legal nature, a special similarity to what have been called imperial adlocutiones, due to both the text’s form and its content, will be shown. Consequently, this approach opens up a new avenue for understanding of this text.
