Published: February 2025

Background:

The number of revision total knee arthroplasty (TKA) procedures continues to rise. Both advanced chronological age and comorbidity burden are associated with poor surgical outcomes. However, the question remains whether these two factors have a synergistic effect. Does a patient with advanced age and notable comorbidity burden carry an exponentially increased risk of complications after revision TKA? This study aims to investigate the effect of chronological age on various Charlson-Deyo Comorbidity Index (CDI) categories among revision TKA patients.

Methods:

A total of 144,402 patients who underwent elective revision TKA between 2006 and 2022 were identified from the Premier Healthcare Database. The primary outcome was the effect of chronological age on surgical outcomes following revision TKA, while stratified by the CDI. The analyzed postoperative complications in this study included postoperative cardiac complications, pneumonia, acute kidney injury, infections, central nervous system complications, and intensive care unit admissions. Spearman rank correlation coefficients and logistic regression models were used for analysis. Age was evaluated as both a continuous variable and categorical variable (<80 years versus 80+ years).

Results:

Both CDI and chronological age were associated with worse outcomes, with odds ratio (OR) 1.358 to 1.829 and OR 1.015 to 1.070, respectively, across these outcomes of interest. Patients aged 80 years and older had a markedly higher risk of postoperative complications across all CDI categories (OR 1.698 to 3.695) compared with patients younger than 80 years of age. The effect of chronological age on surgical outcomes does not vary under different CDI categories as chronological age presented similar patterns of OR trends on complications.

Conclusion:

Chronological age and CDI were independent risk factors for postoperative complications in patients after revision TKA. Chronological age and CDI did not exhibit a synergistic effect on outcomes after revision TKA as the trends of impact from chronological age on outcome remained similar across different CDI categories.
Radioprotective Effects of Folic Acid on Hematological Parameters and Bone Marrow Histology in Male Rabbits Exposed to X-Ray Irradiation
Authors: Amal Srgewa
Published: February 2025

Ionizing radiation is known to induce significant damage to the hematopoietic system, primarily compromising bone marrow function. Folic acid plays a crucial role as a cofactor in one-carbon metabolism and various cellular processes, including DNA synthesis and repair. This study examines the potential radioprotective effects of folic acid on hematological parameters and bone marrow histology in male rabbits subjected to X-ray irradiation. The experimental design included four groups: (1) Control, (2) Folic acid supplementation, (3) X-ray exposure, and (4) Combined folic acid supplementation and X-ray exposure. Hematological analysis demonstrated a significant decline in white blood cell (WBC), red blood cell (RBC), and platelet (PLT) counts following X-ray exposure, indicating radiation-induced hematopoietic suppression. Notably, folic acid supplementation partially restored these parameters, suggesting its role in promoting hematopoietic recovery. Additionally, histological examination of bone marrow revealed increased cellularity in folic acid-treated groups, further supporting its protective effects against radiation-induced myelosuppression. These findings indicate that folic acid supplementation may attenuate the adverse hematopoietic effects of ionizing radiation, underscoring its potential as a radioprotective agent.

Ceylon cinnamon, renowned for its superior flavour and delicate appearance, faces
distinctive challenges in the global market due to its higher cost and limited availability compared
to cassia cinnamon. The major objective of this paper is to identify and analyse factors influencing
the export income of Ceylon cinnamon in the areas of production volume, exchange rate, domestic
consumption, and land area. The study quantifies the impact of these variables on export income
by applying multiple linear regression analysis to data from the period 1992 to 2022 in Sri Lanka.
The findings of this paper depict that variation in the exchange rate, domestic consumption, and
land area significantly increase Ceylon cinnamon export income, indicating that cultivation and
productivity do improve export earnings. On the other hand, it has shown that production volume
negatively affects export income. This suggests that the quality and effective use of production
outcomes are lower than expected, which adversely affects export volume and earnings. The
research findings would, therefore, be of immense use to policymakers, exporters, and the industry
in formulating strategies to enhance the cinnamon export sector in Sri Lanka. Key factors that
would help stakeholders include interventions targeting production efficiencies, currency risk
management, and maintaining a balance between domestic demand and international market
dynamics. The research also fills gaps in the literature by focusing on Ceylon cinnamon and its
export dynamics, thereby contributing to the sustainable growth and competitiveness of Sri
Lankan’s agricultural export sector

The global education sector is witnessing a surge in women pursuing Science,
Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) degrees, but the gender gap in employment
of the information technology (IT) industry remains significant. This difference stems from several
sociocultural elements, such as gender roles, norms, beliefs, and attitudes. This study aims to
analyse the factors that affect women's career opportunities in IT sector by presenting its findings
in an international setting. This study thoroughly examines the barriers that prevent women from
entering and rising through the ranks of the IT sector. Due to the above-mentioned gender
inequality, the underrepresentation of women in the IT sector also declines the industry access to
tremendous talent and a variety of viewpoints. This research aims to assist the growth of a more
equitable and inclusive IT sector by addressing the obstacles experienced by women in IT
professions and creating an atmosphere that empowers women's involvement and leadership.
Following chapters would comprehensively discuss over the globally identified factors that are
affecting women employment in the IT sector and social aspects on it. Policymakers, business
executives, academic institutions, and respective organizations may all benefit greatly from the
findings of this study, which can support to develop programs and policies focused at removing
obstacles to women's employment and their career progression in the IT industry. The ultimate
goal of this study is to addresses the factors that are affecting women employment in the IT sector
with findings from global studies and encourage to build a more inclusive and varied workforce,
which can stimulate economic development, productivity, and creativity in IT sector.

A new product for soft sets with its decision-making: Soft lambda-product
Authors: Sezgin Aslıhan , Şenyiğit Eylül
Published: February 2025

Soft sets provide a strong mathematical foundation for managing uncertainty and inventing solutions to parametric data problems. Soft set operations are fundamental elements within soft set theory. In this paper, we introduce a new product operation for soft sets, called the “soft lambda-product,” and thoroughly examine its algebraic properties in relation to various types of soft equalities and subsets. By studying the distribution of the soft lambda-product over different soft set operations, we further investigate its relationship with other soft set operations. We conclude with an example demonstrating the method’s effectiveness across various applications, employing the int-uni operator and int-uni decision function within the soft lambda-product for the int-uni decision-making method, which identifies an optimal set of elements from available options. This work significantly contributes to the soft set literature, as the theoretical foundations of soft computing methods rely on solid mathematical principles.

Authors: Sifontes Yaritza
Published: February 2025

La preservación de la triada salud, bienestar y desarrollo del potencial del individuo descansa sobre una adecuada alimentación. Esta revisión pretende abordar algunos elementos a considerar ante una inminente actualización de las guías alimentarias hacia la sostenibilidad. La transformación de los sistemas alimentarios es una prioridad, dada la relación entre estos y la mejora de la salud poblacional y no solo de la salud ambiental. Un consumo responsable con dietas de calidad beneficia a la sociedad local e internacional, la ecología y la economía y las guías alimentarias siguen siendo la herramienta para llevar a la práctica las diferentes recomendaciones en materia alimentaria, alineadas con los principios de la Organización Mundial de la Salud y el desarrollo sostenible. La comparación entre las guías alimentarias existentes mostró algunos elementos útiles para su actualización con enfoque sostenible, siendo ellos: el contexto, el propósito, la necesidad de armonización, el significado de la sostenibilidad, la inclusión y el impacto sobre el ambiente-salud-producción. La actualización de las guías alimentarias es útil y necesaria para brindar estrategias y respuestas oportunas ante una población cada vez más responsable de su autocuidado y de su papel de cara a la preservación del medio ambiente para las futuras generaciones. Desafíos tan importantes como el incremento en el consumo de alimentos de origen vegetal, la preferencia por pescado o ave frente a la de carnes rojas y la reducción de las pérdidas y el desperdicio de alimentos y el equilibrio entre beneficios nutricionales y ambientales siguen siendo los principales hitos en la actualización de guías alimentarias basadas en la sostenibilidad.
Why cohesion policy is not about cohesion

However, the original egalitarian cohesion mandate set out in the Treaties has been gradually diluted by means of subtle changes across different yet interrelated aspects of the funds’legal architecture, and with the complicity of national governments, the Commission, and the CJEU. The result is a policy that pursues objectives other than economic, social, and territorial cohesion. In this context, it is not surprising that the cohesion legal basis of Article 175(3) TFEU can now be invoked to support virtually any economic instrument, as evidenced in the recent crisis response programmes./font
A typology of comparators and comparisons in EU equality law
Authors: Dube Nozizwe
Published: February 2025

p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; line-height: normal;"font face="TimesNewRomanPS-ItalicMT, serif"comparison also deflects EU equality law from its main task: identifying and dismantling systems of marginalization that cause discrimination. This article disrupts the prevailing narrative about comparison as an inescapable feature of equality analysis. A closer look at comparison reveals its objective veneer that conceals its commitment to sustaining a formal model of equality. This makes equality law an assimilationist, instead of an inclusive device. By deviating from comparison, EU equality law can advance towards an inclusive understanding of equality that centres intersectionality. The key therefore lies in the development of comparator-free equality analysis, which relies on the understanding that discrimination is contingent on unequal power and resource distribution, creating systems of marginalization. Hence, instead of comparing a claimant to a decontextualized intercategorical or intracategorical comparator, comparator-free analysis conducts a dignitary harm assessment whereby discrimination is contextualized in the past and contemporary patterns of disadvantage underlying it to establish a prima facie case of discrimination.  /font

Coupling Coordination Evaluation of Basic Public Services and Rural Revitalization
Authors: Zhou Yu
Published: February 2025

The effective supply of basic public services is an important support for promoting rural revitalization, while the quality of rural revitalization is also the endogenous driving force of public services. The two form a coupled and coordinated system in terms of innovation, coordination, green, openness and sharing, and the results of the study show that in recent years, the two systems of basic public services and rural revitalization in the ethnic areas of Sichuan Province have a coupled and coordinated impact, but the regional gap is more obvious. From the evaluation index, public services in Liangshan Prefecture lag behind rural revitalization most of the time, while the opposite is true for Ganzi Prefecture and Aba Prefecture. From the coupling coordination degree, Liangshan Prefecture coupling coordination degree change time lags behind the implementation time of national policies. Strengthening investment in education and health care in Liangshan Prefecture, strengthening agricultural science and technology capacity in Ganzi and Aba Prefectures, and continuing to increase financial security will help the "coordinated effectiveness" of rural revitalization and public services.
Cross-Cultural Communication Barriers in the English Translation of the Civil Code and Cognitive Linguistic Response Mechanisms
Authors: Wang Guifang , Zhang Pengbin
Published: February 2025

This thesis aims to explore the intercultural communication barriers encountered in the English translation of the Civil Code and proposes corresponding coping mechanisms based on the theories of cognitive linguistics. By analyzing barriers at the linguistic, cultural, and cognitive levels, and employing theories such as conceptual metaphor and conceptual integration from cognitive linguistics, this study provides strategies and methods to improve the quality of the English translation of the Civil Code and promote intercultural communication. The research focuses on specific clauses, such as “invalidity of contract,” to demonstrate how these strategies can effectively address translation challenges. The findings show that these mechanisms not only enhance the accuracy and readability of the translated text but also facilitate a better understanding of the legal concepts across different cultural backgrounds. Future research should further explore the application of cognitive linguistics in other legal texts to enrich the theoretical and practical resources for intercultural legal translation.

Design of an Automatic Battery Swapping System for E-Bikes with LCD Voltage Monitoring and Dual Battery Management
Authors:   Diploma Scholar, Automobile Engineering & Sri Krishna Polytechnic College, Tamil Nadu, INDIA, S Ajay Kumar
Published: February 2025

In recent years, electric bikes (e-bikes) have emerged as an eco-friendly and cost-effective alternative to conventional vehicles. A crucial challenge in the development of e-bikes is the management of battery life, as the limited charge capacity of a single battery may cause the vehicle to stop unexpectedly. This paper proposes an automatic battery swapping system for e-bikes, designed to seamlessly switch between two batteries to ensure continuous operation. The system monitors the battery voltage and automatically switches from Battery 1 to Battery 2 when the voltage level of Battery 1 drops below a pre-defined threshold. Additionally, an LCD display provides real-time battery voltage feedback to the rider. This approach not only maximizes battery life but also ensures that the e-bike runs smoothly with minimal rider intervention, as the batteries are only charged when their charge level falls below 20%. The circuit employs an Arduino microcontroller, voltage sensors, a relay, and an LCD display to manage and monitor the batteries.

Revolutionizing Data Accessibility: AI-Driven Natural Language Interfaces for Democratizing Data Discovery
Authors:   Lead Data Engineer., Katam Brahma Reddy
Published: February 2025

We live in an era where data fuels everything—from business decisions and healthcare innovations to government policies and financial markets. Yet, a vast majority of professionals, the very people who need this data the most, struggle to access it because of technical barriers. Data isn’t just sitting there; it’s locked away behind SQL queries, complex BI dashboards, and intimidating APIs.

This paper explores how we can break down these barriers and build truly user-friendly data access tools for non-technical users. We introduce a novel framework that combines AI-powered natural language queries, intelligent search recommendations, and interactive visualizations, making data as easy to explore as searching for something on Google.

Through real-world usability tests, we found that task completion efficiency improved by 78%, while dependency on IT support decreased by 41%. By making data discovery intuitive, we’re not just helping businesses move faster—we’re enabling more people to make data-driven decisions without writing a single line of code.

Clean and Healthy Living Behavior (PHBS) refers to the practice of maintaining personal cleanliness and health awareness in daily life. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), clean water is defined as water that meets health standards and is safe for daily use, including consumption, drinking, and food preparation. Adopting healthy living practices is crucial for everyone, as it offers numerous benefits, including improved mental and physical health, increased focus, family welfare, and the creation of a pleasant and peaceful living environment. Water plays a vital role in sustaining life, and it is essential for individuals to secure an adequate supply. However, the water used is often not compliant with health standards, frequently containing germs or harmful substances that pose a threat to human health. PHBS encompasses all health behaviors performed with conscious awareness, enabling individuals to manage their health effectively and participate actively in health-related activities. Therefore, it is important to disseminate information about PHBS to the community to raise awareness of its significance. This awareness can foster the adoption of PHBS practices, ultimately enhancing the health and welfare of family members and the community at large.
