Authors: van der Kuil Milan , Visser-Meily Anne , Evers Andrea W.M. , van der Ham Ineke
Published: April 2023

Objective – Patients with acquired brain injury (ABI) often report navigation problems. A training was designed to introduce compensatory navigation strategies. The training was a blended-care program, consisting of a psycho-education session and a 6-week training period using a serious game. In this study, the effectiveness of the training was evaluated in terms of self-reported and objective navigation abilities and societal participation levels.Methods – A randomized controlled trial was conducted that included 42 ABI patients with varying types of brain injuries. Patients in the experimental condition engaged in the rehabilitation training whereas patients in the control condition received treatment as usual, but were given the opportunity to engage in the training after participation. Self-reported navigation abilities were assessed using the Wayfinding Questionnaire, objective navigation abilities were measured using the Virtual Tübingen testing battery and societal participation was measured with the Utrecht Scale for Evaluation of Rehabilitation Participation. Additionally, patients in the experimental condition completed a goal attainment assessment. Measures were taken before, directly after and 4 weeks after the intervention period.Results - Self-reported navigation ability improved significantly for patients in the experimental condition compared to their baseline scores and the post-intervention scores of patients in the control group. Within the experimental group, rehabilitation goals were attained after the training. No effect of the intervention was found on objective navigation abilities and societal participation.Conclusion - The intervention was effective in improving perceived navigation ability. Next, the navigation training should be examined in a clinical setting to ensure its effectiveness.

Published: April 2023

Experiencing everyday discrimination can have a significant negative impact on an individual’s wellbeing. While much attention has been paid to the physical and mental health consequences of discrimination, less is known about how discrimination can affect cognitive health, and most existing work has been conducted in laboratory settings where participants recall discrimination retrospectively. Given the artificial environment and susceptibility to recall bias in such procedures, the current study utilised two daily diary studies, consisting of young adults in Singapore (Study 1; N=484) and midlife adults from the US (Study 2; N=3577), to examine the association between discrimination and cognitive failures in daily life. Multilevel modelling revealed consistent evidence that experiencing discrimination was associated with poorer cognitive health at both the within- and between-person levels. These associations between discrimination and cognitive health remained robust even after controlling for demographic covariates previously found to affect cognitive health, as well as daily stressor exposure. These findings suggest that the experiences of everyday discrimination may lead to poorer daily cognitive functioning regardless of whether discrimination was experienced in a daily context or across the lifespan, and indicate importance of raising awareness on the harmful cognitive consequences of discrimination.
How Emotions Shape Memory? The Moderating Effect of Healthy Emotionality on Eyewitness Testimony
Authors: Glomb Kaja
Published: April 2023

The discussion of the role of emotions in memory is one of the more vital problems in the psychology of witness testimony. However, depending on the approach and methodology adopted, studies have yielded conflicting results The discrepancies in results may be a consequence of insufficient consideration of individual differences in emotionality. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to analyze the moderating effect of individual differences in emotionality. At the same time, the study aimed to explore the emotional reactions of witnesses and their impact on memory functions. The study (n = 150) showed that eyewitnesses, unlike observers of neutral events, are better at remembering details of the perpetrators' actions immediately before the crime. In turn, these details are particularly well remembered by people who are characterized by a tendency to experience negative emotions for a long time and who score low on a scale measuring overall healthy emotionality. At the same time, the emotions experienced during the observation of a crime seem to generally impair the recollection of details about the perpetrators' appearance and their behavior unrelated to the crime. The results are discussed with reference to the adaptive role of negative emotions in detecting danger and preparation for unpleasant stimuli.
Quantifying evidence for---and against---Granger causality with Bayes factors
Authors: Oravecz Zita , Vandekerckhove Joachim
Published: April 2023

Testing for Granger causality relies on estimating the capacity of dynamics in one time series to forecast dynamics in another. The canonical test for such temporal predictive causality is based on fitting multivariate time series models and is cast in the classical null hypothesis testing framework. In this framework, we are limited to rejecting the null hypothesis or failing to reject the null -- we can never validly accept the null hypothesis of no Granger causality. This is poorly suited for many common purposes, including evidence integration, feature selection, and other cases where it is useful to express evidence against, rather than for, the existence of an association. Here we derive and implement the Bayes factor for Granger causality in a multilevel modeling framework. This Bayes factor summarizes information in the data in terms of a continuously scaled evidence ratio between the presence of Granger causality and its absence. We also introduce this procedure for the multilevel generalization of Granger causality testing. This facilitates inference when information is scarce or noisy or if we are interested primarily in population-level trends. We illustrate our approach with an application on exploring causal relationships in affect using a daily life study.
Driving Factors of Individual Differences in Broad Retrieval Ability: Gr Is More Than the Sum of Its Parts
Authors: Goecke Benjamin , Weiss Selina , Wilhelm Oliver
Published: April 2023

Broad retrieval ability (Gr) posits an essential factor of human cognitive abilities. Previous literature indicates Gr is best modeled as a higher-order factor model with lower-level factors such as ideational, word, expressional, or figural fluency. However, the dimensionality of Gr is not well studied. Further, it remains unclear whether specific retrieval affordances such as differing retrieval time periods (e.g., short vs. long) can be psychometrically separated from more general retrieval affordances. Such a distinction would imply differential associations between specific retrieval, general retrieval, and other cognitive abilities, which, in turn, depict a vital part of explanatory models of individual differences in Gr. To test these assumptions, we conducted a multivariate study (N = 331) and evaluated competing latent variable measurement models for a variety of Gr tests. We then regressed the best measurement model onto working memory capacity, secondary memory, mental speed, and crystallized intelligence in order to evaluate the distinctiveness of Gr. Our results suggest that no specific retrieval affordances with regards to time periods can be distinguished. A higher-order model, with a second-order Gr factor above three first-order factors (ideational, word, expressional, and figural fluency) fitted the data best, extending previous literature by increasing construct coverage through the implementation of figural fluency. All covariates show incremental predictive validity, beyond their communality. Summarizing, our results endorse a perspective on Gr as a strong and discriminant factor of cognitive abilities that is not affected by time constraints, and show that Gr is more than a linear combination of its parts.
Representation of the Poor’s Plight in Vaikom’s “Birthday”: A Social Realistic Approach
Authors: Bhatta Laxman
Published: April 2023

This paper explores the plight of a poor student who doesn’t have a penny to celebrate his birthday. “Janmadinaa” (Birthday) is a story originally written in Malayalam, narrated from the autobiographical perspective. Vaikom Muhammad Basheer, the narrator, makes the readers observe pathetically different encounters with his friends and neighbours. His friends and neighbours look at him with strange gaze and deny lending him even an ‘anna’ (rupee) to have a morsel of food and a cup of tea on his birthday. Vaikom has varieties of groups of characters: the poor, the students, and the helpless and rich people through the perspective of social realism. Social realism by George Lucks describes socio-economic reality that rejects the deterministic relationship between the reality and its underlying meaning. Largely this article deploys Lucks’s concept to explicate Vaikom’s story and reflects upon the issue of pretty misery of the protagonist. The story encapsulates an optimistic remark that the poor people always remain active and raise voice against the socio-economical domination from the elites.

Published: April 2023

Post the outbreak of COVID different studies have been conducted to find the impact of it on various aspects such as physical and mental state of human lives, business, industries, economy, and so on. With the objective of assessing the effect of COVID-19 on Nepalese stock market (NEPSE), using NEPSE index and market turnover as independent variable and taking 1st 6 months’ every operating day data since active COVID cases were seen, this paper tests two hypotheses. First the median of active COVID cases is found, considering as the good mid position indicator, then the cases above the median point are divided as High COVID case situation and Low COVID situation. The non-parametric test Mann-Whitney U-test is applied that finds: 1st: the NEPSE index was increasing during the high COVID cases than that of low COVID situation and 2nd: NEPSE market turnover was also increasing during the high COVID cases than that of low COVID situation. This concludes with significant positive effect of COVID on Nepalese stock market. Digitization of NEPSE, leisure time with people, their sentiment to enter the stock market when stock prices are low and optimism that prices of stock would increase in the future, are some of the factors contributing to the increase in NEPSE performance during high COVID situation.

Histological and histochemical changes in liver tissue of young rats with hyperhomocysteinemia
Authors: Halahan Y. V.
Published: April 2023

Annotation. The decisive place in the synthesis and subsequent metabolism of homocysteine (Hcy) belongs to the liver, where, in particular, transsulfation and remethylation processes take place. It has been proven that organ tissue damage can cause hyperhomocysteinemia (HHcy). Changes in the structural and functional parameters of the liver tissue under the conditions of a significant and long-term increase in blood serum Hcy are still insufficiently studied. Modeling the state of chronic HHcy and studying the features of histological changes in liver tissue at different levels of structural organization is an urgent task. The aim of the research is to study morphological and histochemical changes in the liver tissue of young rats with HHcy. The experiment was carried out on 22 white non-linear young – aged 1-2 months, male rats. During the study, the animals were divided into two groups – control and experimental. Chronic persistent HHcy was modeled by administering thiolactone Hcy in a dose of 200 mg/kg of body weight intragastrically for 60 days to the rats of the experimental group. Histological preparations were studied using a SEO SСAN light microscope and photo-documented using a Vision CCD Camera. Succinate dehydrogenase was detected histochemically according to the Nakhlas method. To study the specifics of glycogen accumulation in hepatocytes, sections were stained using Schiff's reagent, after preliminary treatment with iodic acid (PAS reaction) in the Shabadash modification. It was established that the administration of thiolactone Hcy to young rats at a dose of 200 mg/kg led to impaired blood supply, destructive changes and growth of connective tissue in the liver. Moderate changes in the hepatocyte plates organization, a decrease in the mitotic activity of hepatocytes, and the development of fatty and vacuole-hydropic dystrophy were recorded. Histochemical studies of the liver of animals of the research group established a decrease in the activity of the succinate dehydrogenase enzyme and glycogen content in hepatocytes.

Published: April 2023

Annotation. The article presents the results of an experimental study about modeling hemorrhagic shock in animals with chronic gastric ulcer and further evaluation of the pro- and antioxidant system in periulceral tissues. The effect of local injection of platelets-rich plasma was also explored. Experiments were performed on 77 white laboratory rats. The level of NADPH-oxidase and superoxide dismutase, as indicators of pro- and antioxidant systems, after local periulceral injection of saline or platelet-rich plasma was explored in comparison with such levels in animals with ulcers and hemorrhagic shock without treatment. The obtained data were processed using the statistical software package SPSS 20.0 for Windows. The obtained data show a modulation of the pro- and antioxidant defense system towards destructive changes, characterized by the activation of pro-oxidant and inhibition of antioxidant enzymes in the mucous membrane of the periulceral zone in shock condition. Local periulceral injecting of platelet-rich plasma allows to reduce oxidative stress, activate the system of antioxidant enzymes and potentially accelerate repair processes in the periulceral zone.

Annotation. The article presents a description of surgical intervention to replace a postoperative defect with a skin-muscle flap of the pectoralis major muscle in a patient with a tumor of the oral cavity. The pectoralis major skin-muscle flap in oral reconstruction is important as a transfer of a vascularized massive block of tissue from a non-irradiated area. The vascular pedicle of the skin-muscle flap of the pectoralis major muscle is of sufficient diameter and length to reconstruct the floor of the oral cavity. The arterialized flap, which includes the pectoralis major muscle, is indicated for the one-moment closure of large postoperative defects of the oral cavity.

Annotation. Despite the modern achievements in dentistry, multiple teeth decay in children with juvenile rheumatoid arthritis (JRA) is a widespread problem. The search for new methods of treatment and prevention of these lesions is an actual task for scientists. Therefore, the aim of the research was to study the effectiveness of the developed comprehensive treatment and prevention of multiple dental caries in children with JRA. We carried out a study of 53 children with JRA aged 8-16 years: 14 children of the second childhood and 12 – adolescence, who made up the main group and, respectively, 14 and 13 children of the comparative group. Evaluation of the efficiency of treatment and preventive measures was studied according to the values of dental caries intensity, and data of content of the main electrolytes and their regulators in the blood: total and ionized calcium, inorganic phosphorus, magnesium, potassium, sodium, chlorine, parathyroid hormone, alkaline and acid phosphatase activity. For statistical analysis, the program “Statistica 6.1” was used. Carrying out treatment and prevention measures of dental caries in children of the main and comparative groups with JRA contributed to the elimination of relative hypophosphatemia and hypocalcemia and the normalization of other indicators of calcium and phosphorus metabolism (content and activity of biological catalysts), which were detected before treatment. At the same time, in two years of observation of pre-pubertal children in the comparison group, the DMF+df index was three times higher than in the main group. In the pubertal age period, the DMF index in children of the comparison group exceeded the same index of the main group by 3.4 times. Performing only basic therapy with correction of mineral metabolism and vitamin balance in the body of children with JRA is insufficient for effective prevention of carious lesions of the teeth. The results of a dental examination show high clinical efficiency of the proposed method for the treatment and prevention of dental caries. This indicated the expediency of its implementation in practical health care.

Authors: Ivanov V. P. , Zakrevska M. M.
Published: April 2023

Annotation. The article presents the results of the study of the relationship between the quality of life of patients with arterial hypertension (AH) and atrial fibrillation (AF) with serum levels of the N-terminal fragment of brain natriuretic propeptide (NT-proBNP) and the suppressor of tumorigenicity 2 (ST2). As part of an open observational randomized comparative study, 89 patients with stage II AH and various clinical forms of AF were examined. All patients underwent a general clinical examination, additional determination of levels of serum NT-proBNP and ST2 biomarkers, and assessment of quality of life according to the SF-36 and MLHFQ questionnaires on the 2-3 day stay in the hospital against the background of selection of optimal therapy. Statistical analysis was performed using Microsoft Excel (2016) and Statistica 12.0 (Statsoft, USA). The average value of the indicator, standard deviation was determined using one-way ANOVA & LSD test, Spearman's rank correlation analysis was used. According to the results of the study, there was a certain association of deterioration of the quality of life of patients with AH and AF with an increase in levels of serum NT-proBNP and ST2. It was demonstrated that a relatively high level of serum NT-proBNP was associated with impaired role functioning, determined by physical and emotional state according to the SF-36 scale, and impaired quality of life according to the MLHFQ. In addition, there was a direct correlation (R=0.41; p<0.0001) between actual levels of serum NT-proBNP and the total MLHFQ score. A relatively high level of serum ST2 was associated with a significant decrease in physical functioning, vitality, social functioning, role functioning due to emotional state, physical and mental health components, and an increase in pain intensity according to the SF-36, as well as a significant deterioration of the quality of life according to the MLHFQ. In addition, there was an inverse correlation (R=-0.36, p<0.0001) between actual levels of serum ST2 and the value of the physical component of health according to the SF-36 and a positive relationship (R=0.48, p<0.0001) with the value of the total score according to the MLHFQ.

With the help of Google forms, a questionnaire was conducted among applicants of medical institutions of higher education regarding the prevalence, duration, and preferences of types of alternative tobacco products, namely: National Pirogov Memorial Medical University, Vinnytsya (VNMU), Lviv National Medical University named after D. Halytskyi (LNMU), Bukovyna State Medical University (BDMU), Kharkiv National Medical University (KHNMU), National Medical University named after O. O. Bogomolets (NMU), among the five medical higher education institutions of Ukraine. The purpose of the study is to identify the prevalence, duration, causes of smoking, and health threats as consequences of smoking among students of medical institutions of higher education in Ukraine. A content analysis of scientific sources of foreign scientists from many countries of the world regarding the spread of tobacco smoking among student youth in European countries was conducted based on PubMed I Google Scholar databases for the period 2008-2022. Based on the results of the questionnaire, it was determined and compared with the questionnaire of 2019. It was established that among the applicants of medical institutions of higher education I-VI courses – 69.8% (61.2% – in 2019) of students do not smoke, and 30.2% (38.8% – 2019) smoke. Out of them, 76.9% are feminine and 23.1% are masculine. The average age of starting smoking among respondents of medical institutions of higher education was 16 to 18 years old – 21.0%. They use such a bad habit to relieve stress, which accounts for 30.0% of women and 43.6% of men. Cigarettes are preferred by 40.0% of women and 20.0% of men; to cigarettes – by 25.0% of women and 23.3% of men (in 2019 – 48.6%); IQOS – 17.0% of persons of the female article and 6.7% of the persons of the male article; electronic cigarettes – 33.3% of men and 10.0% of women (in 2019 – 10.9%); hookah tobacco – 10.0% among men and 8.0% among women (21.5% in 2019). The solution to the problem of smoking among students of medical institutions of higher education can only be systematic educational measures of anti-nicotine propaganda.

Published: April 2023

Annotation. A great danger to the environment and the health of the population is the release of chemical substances of technogenic origin, in particular plant protection products into the atmospheric air. The aim of the study was to evaluate the hazard of harmful inhalation impact on the human body of new pesticides: triazolone herbicide amicarbazone, tricetone herbicide bicyclopyrone, and carboxamide fungicide pydiflumetofen, during their migration from soil to the lower atmospheric air layer. Mathematical modeling of the process of evaporation of the studied pesticides from soil to the atmospheric air was carried out and comparison of the maximum achievable concentrations with the average lethal concentration during acute inhalation exposure and hygienic standards in the air environment. Experimental study of the behavior of amicarbazone, bicyclopyrone, and pydiflumetofen in the "soil - atmospheric air" system was carried out in laboratory conditions. The concentrations of the studied substances in the air were determined by the method of high - performance liquid chromatography. It was established that amicarbazone, bicyclopyrone, and pydiflumetofen are non - volatile under saturated vapor pressure and Henry's law constant, and low - risk by the coefficient of possible inhalation poisoning. Acute inhalation poisoning as a result of evaporation from the soil into the lower atmospheric air layer is unlikely. The maximum achievable concentrations of the studied pesticides that can form in the air as a result of evaporation from the soil are significantly lower than their hygienic standards in the working zone. The migration levels of the studied substances from soil to the lower atmospheric air layer depend on their initial concentrations and the type of soil: bicyclopyrone and pydiflumetofen migrate more intensively from sandy soil than from leached chernozem. Threshold concentrations in the soil according to the air – migration indicator of harmfulness: amicarbazone – 0.05 mg/kg, bicyclopyrone – 1.0 mg/kg and pydiflumetofen – 1.2 mg/kg are formed in the plow layer of soil when researched pesticides are introduced according to 1th, 20th and 20th maximum consumption rates. The “soil - atmospheric air” system is not a leading link to the migration of the studied pesticides in the environment. The obtained results were used in the substantiation of hygienic standard of amicarbazone, bicyclopyrone and pydiflumetofen in soil.

Metapodaci se koriste od davnina, odnosno od kada ljudi rade popise stvari, inventara, događaja i drugih objekata ili pojava u svrhu njihove sistematizacije i dobivanja pregleda nad njima. Općenito se može reći da su metapodaci strukturirani podaci o nečemu (npr. knjigama, slikama, glazbi, objektima, događajima, uslugama i dr.). S metapodacima se susrećemo u svakodnevnom životu kroz vremenske rasporede (polazaka i dolazaka vlakova, nogometnih utakmica i dr.), datoteke na računalu (vrijeme nastanka, veličina datoteke i sl.), u knjižnici (katalozi knjiga), internetske stranice za kupovinu i slično (Baca 2008). Metapodaci se koriste za organizaciju, pronalaženje, preuzimanje, arhiviranje i očuvanje informacija elektroničkog materijala te za cijeli niz drugih specijaliziranih stručnih potreba i potreba iz svakodnevnog života. Oni pomažu ljudima da pronađu podatke koje trebaju i da osmisle kako ih najbolje mogu koristiti. To su strukturirane informacije koje opisuju i lociraju, odnosno olakšavaju pristup i primjenu izvora informacija (NISO 2004). Metapodaci mogu biti pohranjeni u repozitorije, kataloge, web-stranice, datoteke i sl. (Parsian 2006). Prilikom primjene prostornih podataka (na primjer, karata u rasterskom ili vektorskom formatu podataka, u GIS okruženju ili primjenom prostornih baza podataka ili preuzimanjem podataka putem mrežnih usluga) često ne znamo ili nismo sigurni tko je i kada prikupio podatke, kakva je kvaliteta podataka, u kojem referentnom okviru su podaci, koja je verzija formata podataka i druge informacije koje omogućuju njihovo ispravno korištenje i interpretaciju. Zbog toga podaci i njihova primjena, proizvodi i usluge koji se izrađuju na osnovi njih, imaju manju vrijednost. Da bi se izbjegli navedeni problemi, prikupljaju se metapodaci. Metapodaci su sastavni dio podataka i zajedno tvore jedinstvenu cjelinu. Metapodatke treba dokumentirati prilikom prikupljanja podataka i potrebno ih je ažurirati kada se podaci mijenjaju.

BACKGROUND

Cerebral proliferative angiopathy (CPA) is a rare vascular proliferative disease; however, long-term follow-up reports are scarce. The authors report a rare case and document a patient’s medical history over 20 years.

OBSERVATIONS

A 5-year-old girl developed left frontal lobe hemorrhage, presenting with headache. At 8 years of age, angiography showed diffuse capillary ectasia without an arteriovenous shunt. Single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) showed normal cerebral blood flow (CBF). She had normal growth without systemic disease. At 25 years of age, an intraventricular hemorrhage occurred, presenting with sudden headache. Angiography revealed vascular lesion enlargement, increased feeding arteries, dural supply to the nidus and peri-nidal lesion, and flow-related aneurysm. SPECT showed remarkable decreases in CBF in the nidus and peri-nidal lesion. Cerebral proliferative angiopathy (CPA) was diagnosed, and the aneurysm arising at the lateral posterior choroidal artery caused the hemorrhage. Coil embolization of the aneurysm was performed with a flow-guide catheter and extremely soft platinum coils. New aneurysms were not noted 1.5 years after the procedure.

LESSONS

This is the first report to demonstrate hemodynamic changes in CPA on angiography and SPECT over 17 years. The development of endovascular devices has enabled the embolization of ruptured aneurysms at the peripheral cerebral artery.

Published: April 2023

BACKGROUND

Diffuse midline glioma (DMG), H3K27-altered, is a rare, highly malignant central nervous system neoplasm that arises in midline structures. They are more commonly encountered in children and are rarely encountered in adults, usually in the thalamus or spinal cord. The presence of the H3K27 mutation in the H3F3A gene automatically classifies a tumor as World Health Organization grade IV. These tumors carry a grim prognosis, with an overall median survival of less than 1 year.

OBSERVATIONS

The authors report the case of a 38-year-old male presenting with acute-onset urinary retention who was found to have an expansile, well-circumscribed mass involving the conus medullaris at the level of T12–L1. A T12–L1 laminectomy and tumor debulking were performed. Pathology revealed glial cells with astrocytic morphology among Rosenthal fibers, microvascular proliferation, and cellular atypia. The H3K27 mutation was confirmed.

LESSONS

DMG, H3K27-altered, is a rarely encountered entity that can present in numerous midline structures. If localized to the conus medullaris, it may present as acute-onset urinary retention in a previously asymptomatic patient. Further investigation is needed to characterize its molecular and clinical features in adults to improve the management of those presenting with these tumors.

Published: April 2023

BACKGROUND

Spontaneous bilateral epidural hematomas (EDHs) are rare. The aim of this study was to report a 21-year-old male with spontaneous bilateral EDHs to discuss the pathogenesis of spontaneous bilateral EDHs caused by chronic sinusitis.

OBSERVATIONS

A 21-year-old male with no history of head trauma was admitted to the hospital for headache and unconsciousness. The patient had bilateral nasal bleeding on the day before admission and had chronic sinusitis since childhood. The head computed tomography examination after admission showed bilateral EDHs and bilateral sinusitis, the head magnetic resonance imaging showed chronic sinusitis, and the endoscopic examination during surgery further confirmed that the patient had severe sinusitis with erosion of the bilateral nasal mucosae. The patient underwent emergent surgical treatment. The cerebral vascular malformation, autoimmune diseases, low intracranial pressure, blood system diseases (such as sickle cell disease), abnormal blood coagulation, and skull or meningeal lesions were all excluded after operation.

LESSONS

Chronic sinusitis may lead to EDHs through causing vascular degeneration, and abruption of the dura mater and skull. For young patients with spontaneous EDHs, neurosurgeons should carefully ask patients whether they have a history of chronic sinusitis to exclude the possibility of bleeding caused by chronic sinusitis.

BACKGROUND

Intracranial carotid sympathetic plexus (CSP) nerve sheath tumors have rarely been reported in the literature. This study describes the first reported case of a CSP neurofibroma and the first case of a CSP nerve sheath tumor treated via an endoscopic endonasal approach followed by adjuvant radiosurgery.

OBSERVATIONS

A 53-year-old man presented with 3 days of headaches and diplopia and was found to have a complete left abducens nerve palsy. Computed tomography (CT) revealed a smoothly dilated left carotid canal, CT angiography revealed a superiorly displaced left internal carotid artery (ICA), and magnetic resonance imaging revealed a T2-hyperintense and avidly enhancing lesion in the left cavernous sinus encasing the ICA. The patient underwent subtotal resection via an endoscopic transsphenoidal transcavernous approach followed by Gamma Knife radiosurgery.

LESSONS

Nerve sheath tumors arising from the CSP are extremely rare but need to be considered when assessing unusual cavernous sinus lesions. The clinical presentation is dependent on the anatomical location of the tumor and its relationship to the ICA. The optimal treatment paradigm is unknown.

Waste pineapple and passion fruit peels have potency as lipase enzyme sources. The combination of both peels with a ratio of 6:4 has the highest enzyme lipase activity after 3 days of fermentation and it has increased to 28.33 ± 0.0 U/ml after purification using the ammonium sulfate precipitation method. The response surface method design experiment was applied to determine the effect of the ratio of molar oil to methanol (1:3 – 1:9), reaction time (1 – 24 hours), and temperature (30 - 60C). The maximum biodiesel conversion of 82.7% could be achieved using the reaction condition of a ratio molar of 1:9, 13.65 hours reaction time, and a temperature of 46.5C for enzymatic transesterification of PO. Further, for bio-catalysis biodiesel production from WCO, the maximum conversion of 88% was achieved under reaction conditions of a ratio molar of 1:9, 14 hours reaction time, and a temperature of 48C.

Free radicals are molecules with unstable unpaired electrons and originate from environmental pollutants and from unhealthy people's lifestyles that reduce the quality of life in the presence of various degenerative diseases from premature aging, stroke, and even cancer. Antioxidants are used to neutralize, reduce and inhibit the formation of new free radicals in the body by becoming electron donors for free radicals so that free electrons in free radicals become paired and stop damage in the body. With the presence of antioxidant compounds, oxidative stress triggered by free radicals can be stabilized and neutralized to reduce the risk of damage to body cells. Indonesia is a country rich in spice plant resources. One type of spice plant that has the potential to be developed is Attarasa (Litsea cubeba Lour.) which is widely found in the North Tapanuli area. This plant contains essential oils in the fruit, stems, roots, and leaves. This makes all parts of this plant smell good. This study aimed to determine the antioxidant activity of a fraction of Litsea cubeba Lour. barks. The fraction with n-hexane, dichloromethane, ethyl acetate, and methanol as solvent. Antioxidant activities were determined with ABTS, CUPRAC, and O-Phenanthroline method. The data were analyzed using the Principle Component Analysis (PCA) multivariate exploration technique, which was analyzed using the Minitab software. The extracts were obtained IC50 values from the ABTS (395.65 ± 0.37; 344.78 ± 0.57; 30.37 ± 0.04; 283.07 ± 0.85); CUPRAC (220.77 ± 0.21; 144.50 ± 0.26; 10.00 ± 0.01; 11.13 ± 0.04); O-Phenanthroline (798.27 ± 0.06; 410.01 ± 0.23; 175.75 ± 0.25; 32.01 ± 0.03) respectively. While the total phenol was analyzed (23.56 ± 0.56; 2.63 ± 0.01; 77.44 ± 0.56; 600.21 ± 0.54) respectively. Based on the results obtained, the ethyl acetate extract of Litsea cubeba Lour. barks have antioxidant activity with a very strong category.

The rapid increase in energy demand brought on by the global population boom has led to a surge in the popularity of recycling waste materials into usable energy sources. That is to say, turning trash into usable energy will soon be a hot topic. More and more people are becoming aware of the benefits of biodiesel as a way to lessen their environmental impact by replacing their regular diesel fuel with a cleaner alternative. Usually, biodiesel is produced by mixing vegetable oils with animal-based oils. Because of its low production cost and low environmental impact, waste cooking oil (WCO) is suitable for biodiesel research. Using oxygenated fuels appears to be a practical strategy for lowering engine pollution. The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of varying amounts of diethyl ether (DEE) additives and waste cooking oil biodiesel on the efficiency and emissions of a diesel engine. Emission parameters were evaluated in comparison to those of pure diesel, and results were optimized for various load conditions and mixtures of oxygenated additives.

Authors: Anbu A.
Published: April 2023

The COVID-19 pandemic had a major effect on almost every area of human lives in the majority of the world's countries. Misinformation spreads quickly in the initial phases of the COVID-19 pandemic in different forms, such as fear, distortion, contraindication assumption, and others. False and misleading advertisements harm millions of individuals. In recent research, there are more advanced techniques have been used to address the misinformation about the COVID-19 pandemic. But they are self-reported and probabilistic data during the lockdown period. So, it was difficult to find the respondents' perceptions based on sharing the COVID-19 misinformation. This proposed work analyzed and filtered some optimized factors to analyze the misinformation such as fake reports, fake remedies, conspiracy, susceptibility, vaccine rumors, social media, vitamin D prevents corona, political corona, socio-Economic, and more side effects after getting vaccinated. Collaborative filtering (CF) is the most efficient recommender system, and it is extensively utilized by a broad range of research institutions and enterprises, as well as being used in practice. It consists of two types of CF namely Memory-based CF and Model-based CF. In this work, Memory-based CF recommendation algorithm is combined with a similarity measure called MBCFWS4 to analyze the similarity measure between the factors to conclude the most impact factor. The Primary and secondary dataset helps to identify the respondents' perception based on the COVID-19 misinformation. The efficiency comparison of the proposed work is measured in terms of Precision, Recall & F-measure and found that this analysis using MBCFWS4 is outperforming well than the others as MBCFWS4 predicted accurately and revealed the conclusion based on the COVID-19 misinformation.
