The profession of sociologist-sociology: The theoretical-practical precepts, the technical practices and the professional procedures of knowledge of the human world
Authors: da Silva Mauro Cesar Rocha , da Silva Ester Roberto
Published: September 2024

In the nineteenth century, with the constitution of the capitalist system, social life coexisted with a situation of crisis and social pathologies that put at risk the very sociability of the political system in evidence. At this time, philosophical and naturalist thinkers and intellectuals considered the need for a field of scientific study that would study the causes and origins of social disturbances and problems: sociology emerges – the science of the direction and orientation of society. Its institutionalization process resulted in the professionalization of the sociologist or social scientist and in the school constitution of vast areas of teaching and research. Today, the training of the sociologist is outdated for the resolution of contemporary problems, mainly due to some theoretical-methodological inconsistencies that have not yet been diagnosed or defined with greater precision and methodical systematicity, such as, for example. the theme of subjectivity that has brought all kinds of forms of erratic perceptions and left social science at the mercy of all kinds of antagonism, oppositions and ambiguities of divergent interests and points of view. With the use of the hypothetical-deductive-inductive method of social science and procedures of methods and techniques of investigation, it was identified that social science was constituted on solid bases of scientific foundations that go back to ancient Greek thought, and as Auguste Comte had announced, when he defined the dimension of the social as an objective unit of sociology, conferring to its objectivity the maximum degree, even going so far as to call sociology – the science of the direction and organization of society – as social physics and social mathematics due to its high level of sociological precision of its scientific procedures, in line with the interpretations and explanations of the course of events, facts or phenomena of life in society.

This work has as its theme the elaboration, nutritional and sensory analysis of peanut butter plus milk chocolate, since peanut butter plus chocolate is very nutritious, bringing several benefits, as chocolate is a source of proteins, fats, calcium, magnesium, iron, zinc, vitamins E, B1, B2, B3, B6, B12 and C, in addition to being rich in carbohydrates and bioactive compounds. Five formulations of peanut pastes were elaborated using the concentrations of 0%, 10%, 20%, 30% and 40% of milk chocolate, respectively. It was observed that the greater the amount of milk chocolate added to peanut butter, the less energetic the product is made. Due to the data obtained through this study, it is concluded that the elaboration of peanut butter with the addition of 40% milk chocolate presented satisfactory results in relation to the characteristics of appearance, color, texture, flavor and global acceptance, obtaining averages greater than 7 (seven), and also pointed out acceptable responses in the microbiological and nutritional analyses. In addition, it proved to have a great capacity to be marketed, since it reached an index of 80% in terms of purchase intention.

Changes in Oral Health-related Quality of Life before and after Orthognathic Surgery and Predictors of Outcome
Authors: Agou Shoroog Hassan
Published: September 2024

Aim: There is good evidence that orthognathic surgery improves quality of life (QoL), but it is uncertain whether QoL outcomes differ for patients with different dentofacial deformities. The aim of this study was to (i) assess changes in QoL before and after orthognathic surgery; (ii) compare QoL between deformity classes; and (iii) establish predictors of QoL
Methods: This was a prospective, longitudinal, observations study of adult patients seeking orthognathic treatment. Patients were classified into class II or class III dentofacial deformities. The paired t-test was used to compare Orthognathic Quality of Life Questionnaire (OQLQ) scores before and after surgery, and multivariable linear regression was used to identify predictors of post-operative OQLQ score. 
Results: Of the 50 participants, 36 (72%) were female, and the average age was 29.9 ± 4.2 years. Overall and domain OQLQ scores were significantly lower after surgery (p < 0.0001). The mean change in QoL score was significantly greater for class II patients (p = 0.003). Age and baseline OQLQ score were significantly associated with post-operative OQLQ score.
Conclusions: This study confirms that orthognathic surgery has a very positive impact on QoL. The finding that age and baseline QoL predict subsequent QoL outcomes paves the way for targeted interventions in specific patients.

Authors: Zhang Maojie , Zhu Yanqiu , Yang Mei , Huang Yamei , Yu Yang , Wu Shengwei
Published: September 2024

Background: Carbapenem antibiotics are currently the most broad-spectrum and potent β-lactam antibiotics. Without effective intervention measures, Carbapenem-Resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) may become widespread in all healthcare institutions within ten years, potentially developing into an endemic issue. Objectives: To understand the epidemiological characteristics and multilocus sequence typing (MLST) of CRE infections in hospitals, and to explore critical strategies for preventing and controlling CRE hospital infections. Methods: The study focused on hospitalized patients with CRE strains isolated by the Laboratory Department of the First Affiliated Hospital of Guizhou University of Traditional Chinese Medicine from 2020 to 2022. Patient data, bacterial isolation, culture, and drug sensitivity results were collected and analyzed to determine the epidemiological characteristics of CRE infections. Preserved Carbapenem-Resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) strains were reviewed, and the CRKP sequence type (ST) was obtained through MLST typing. Results: Over the past three years, 187 CRE strains were isolated in the hospital, with infections predominantly occurring in males and individuals over 60 years old. The departments with the highest detection rates were the ICU (35.29%), geriatric department (11.23%), and rehabilitation department (8.02%). The top three specimen sources were sputum (43.85%), clean midstream urine (32.09%), and secretions (13.90%). carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae accounted for the majority of CRE isolates (80.21%), followed by carbapenem-resistant Escherichia coli (14.44%). Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae strains exhibited a high resistance rate to most commonly used antibiotics but were sensitive to tigecycline. Multilocus sequence typing results from 11 CRKP strains showed that 90.91% were of the ST11 type, while 9.09% were of the ST15 type. Conclusions: From 2020 to 2022, CRE infections at the hospital primarily affected elderly male patients over 60, with CRKP as the predominant pathogen and ST11 as the main sequence type. Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae strains were highly resistant to most commonly used antimicrobial drugs. Hospitals should prioritize the prevention and control of CRE infections, emphasizing the management of antimicrobial drugs, patient identification, environmental hygiene, and infection control measures to prevent outbreaks caused by CRE.

Authors: Jamshidi Nasim , Mojarrab Mahdi , Delnavazi Mohammad-Reza , Emami Ahmad , Bahrami Gholamreza , Shokoohinia Yalda , Hosseinzadeh Leila
Published: September 2024

Background: The Artemisia genus is well-known for its medicinal properties, particularly in Iranian traditional medicine. Artemisia biennis, a species within this genus, is widely distributed across Iranian rangelands. Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the cytotoxic activity and chemical composition of essential oils (EO) isolated from the aerial parts of A. biennis in Iran at different growth stages. Methods: The aerial parts of A. biennis from northeast Iran were collected during June (early vegetative stage), July (pre-flowering stage), August (full-flowering stage), and October (late vegetative stage). The essential oils (EOs) of the A. biennis species were extracted by hydro-distillation using a Clevenger-type apparatus and analyzed using gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC/MS). The cytotoxic activity of the EOs against normal fibroblasts, MCF-7, and HT-29 cell lines was evaluated using the MTT assay. Results: Data from GC/MS analysis revealed that (Z)-nerolidol (22.62 - 54.4%), (E)-β-farnesene (6.89-16.38%), and (Z)-tonghaosu (12.33 - 18.61%) were the most abundant chemical constituents. The essential oil (EO) of A. biennis was characterized by a high content of oxygenated sesquiterpenes, with (Z)-nerolidol being the main constituent identified. Based on the MTT assay, the EO of the plant species collected in June exhibited the most potent cytotoxicity against MCF-7 (IC50 = 2.84 ± 0.15 µg/mL) and HT-29 cell lines (IC50 = 2.41 ± 0.2 µg/mL). Conclusions: The growth stage of A. biennis affects EO yields, the composition of extracted secondary metabolites, and cytotoxic activity. A. biennis EOs can be considered potential sources of cytotoxic phytochemicals.

Published: September 2024

In the realm of international investment, Investor-State Arbitration (ISA) plays a crucial role in resolving disputes between investors and states. Emerging economies often face unique challenges in this context, balancing the need to attract foreign investment with the imperative to safeguard national interests. This review presents a framework for adaptive strategies designed to help emerging economies navigate the complexities of ISA while optimizing both investment attraction and national protection. The framework emphasizes a dual approach: enhancing the attractiveness of a country for foreign investors and fortifying mechanisms to protect national interests. Key components of the framework include the development of robust legal and regulatory environments that align with international standards while accommodating national priorities, and the adoption of transparent and equitable dispute resolution processes. The framework advocates for the integration of tailored dispute resolution clauses in investment treaties that consider the specific needs and vulnerabilities of emerging economies. Additionally, it recommends the establishment of dedicated institutions and expertise to manage ISA effectively, ensuring that states are well-prepared to address and resolve disputes. Emphasis is placed on proactive engagement in treaty negotiations, leveraging strategic partnerships, and fostering dialogue with investors to create a balanced and mutually beneficial investment climate. The review also highlights the importance of continuous review and adaptation of legal frameworks to respond to evolving global standards and investment trends. By implementing these adaptive strategies, emerging economies can enhance their attractiveness as investment destinations while safeguarding their sovereignty and national interests. The proposed framework provides a comprehensive approach to managing ISA, balancing the imperative of attracting investment with the need to protect national resources and regulatory autonomy.

Published: September 2024

Tongue is an essential oral structure that is associated with several functions that directly or indirectly affect the speech, swallowing, nursing, position of teeth in the arch, periodontal structures, nutrition and certain social activities.
Ankyloglossia or Tongue tie is a congenital anomaly characterised by short, thick lingual frenum which thereby restricts the movement of the tongue and is associated with infant feeding difficulties, speech disorders, and various mechanical and social issues related to the inability of the tongue to protrude. It is not a serious problem, but it effects the day-to-day activities. Detection of this anomaly in any stage of life and its management improves the quality of life. Considering the high vascularity and mobile structure of the tongue, management using laser is the simplest, safest and less traumatic of all the treatment modalities available with most promising results. This case report discusses management of ankyloglossia using Diode LASER.

Méthodologie : Les données de l’étude empirique sont collectées grâce aux entretiens semi-directifs réalisés avec deux catégories de parties prenantes des IMF, à savoir les clients et les dirigeants. Les entretiens qui ont lieu entre les mois de Novembre 2022 et Mars 2023, se déroulent dans les villes de Yaoundé et Douala au Cameroun.
Résultats : L’analyse de contenu des discours révèle que, la pertinence des problèmes posés par la clientèle, est déconstruite par les dirigeants des IMF. L’étude suppose que cette déconstruction, appréhendée comme une forme voilée de résistance au changement, constitue un frein majeur à la réalisation de la mission sociale originelle des IMF dans l’aire d’expérimentation de l’étude.  
Originalité : L’essentiel des travaux sur les IMF en contexte africain et au Cameroun en particulier traite de la performance sociale sans réellement prendre en compte la perception des parties prenantes. L’originalité dans cette recherche vient de ce que, nous avons adopté une approche inductive pour appréhender la perception des parties prenantes des IMF en termes de portée sociale.

COVID-19 et ses impacts sur l'inclusion financière dans les pays en développement
Authors: ABAKAR MOUSSA Moustapha , YILMAZ Recep
Published: September 2024

Objectif : L'objectif primordial de cette étude est d'analyser les répercussions de la crise liée au COVID-19 sur le secteur bancaire turc. En se basant sur des données empiriques, nous cherchons à évaluer l'impact de la pandémie sur les performances de l'indice du secteur bancaire de Borsa Istanbul (BIST) pendant la période allant de janvier 2020 à décembre 2021. Cette analyse vise à fournir des insights précieux pour guider les décisions en matière de politique économique et d'investissement, en éclairant les acteurs concernés sur les dynamiques spécifiques qui ont façonné le paysage financier turc durant cette période tumultueuse.
 
Méthode : Notre méthodologie de recherche repose sur l'utilisation conjointe de l'indice du secteur bancaire de Borsa Istanbul (BIST) et des données relatives aux cas quotidiens de COVID-19. Pour analyser les effets de la pandémie sur le secteur bancaire, nous avons opté pour la méthode Hétéroscédasticité Conditionnelle Autorégressive Exponentielle Généralisée (EGARCH). Cette approche statistique sophistiquée nous permet d'évaluer de manière précise et rigoureuse les variations de volatilité et les réactions du marché financier turc face aux chocs induits par la crise sanitaire mondiale.
 
Résultats : Les résultats de notre étude révèlent un effet positif modéré du COVID-19 sur les rendements de l'indice du secteur bancaire BIST. Cette constatation suggère que malgré les défis posés par la pandémie, le secteur bancaire turc a démontré une résilience relative, potentiellement grâce aux mesures de soutien économique mises en œuvre pour atténuer les impacts négatifs. De plus, notre analyse indique l'absence de retombées significatives en termes de volatilité, soulignant ainsi la stabilité relative du secteur bancaire turc pendant la période étudiée. En outre, nous avons observé qu'il n'y avait pas d'effet de levier notable, ce qui suggère que les nouvelles positives et négatives ont eu des répercussions similaires sur le secteur bancaire turc au cours de la crise du COVID-19.
 
Originalité : Cette étude apporte une contribution significative à la compréhension des effets de la crise du COVID-19 sur le secteur bancaire turc en utilisant une approche méthodologique novatrice et en se basant sur des données empiriques récentes. En mettant en lumière les dynamiques spécifiques du marché financier turc pendant cette période sans précédent, notre recherche offre des insights précieux pour les décideurs politiques, les investisseurs et les acteurs du secteur financier, les aidant ainsi à prendre des décisions éclairées dans un environnement économique incertain.

Machine Learning — Introduction
Authors: Kun Jeremy
Published: September 2024

A Series on Machine Learning These days an absolutely staggering amount of research and development work goes into the very coarsely defined field of “machine learning.” Part of the reason why it’s so coarsely defined is because it borrows techniques from so many different fields. Many problems in machine learning can be phrased in different but equivalent ways.
Row Reduction Over A Field
Authors: Kun Jeremy
Published: September 2024

We’re quite eager to get to applications of algebraic topology to things like machine learning (in particular, persistent homology). Even though there’s a massive amount of theory behind it (and we do plan to cover some of the theory), a lot of the actual computations boil down to working with matrices. Of course, this means we’re in the land of linear algebra; for a refresher on the terminology, see our primers on linear algebra.
The Wild World of Cellular Automata
Authors: Kun Jeremy
Published: September 2024

There is a long history of mathematical models for computation. One very important one is the Turing Machine, which is the foundation of our implementations of actual computers today. On the other end of the spectrum, one of the simpler models of computation (often simply called a system) is a cellular automaton. Surprisingly enough, there are deep connections between the two.
Sums of k Powers
Authors: Kun Jeremy
Published: September 2024

Problem: Prove that for all $ n,k \in \mathbb{N}, k > 1$, we have $$\sum \limits_^{n} k^i = \frac{k^{n+1}-1}{k-1}$$ Solution: Representing the numbers in base $ k$, we have that each term of the sum is all 0’s except for a 1 in the $ i$th place. Hence, the sum of all terms is the $ n$-digit number comprised of all 1’s. Multiplying by $ k-1$ gives us the $ n$-digit number where every digit is $ k-1$.
The Fundamental Theorem of Algebra (with Liouville)
Authors: Kun Jeremy
Published: September 2024

This proof assumes knowledge of complex analysis, specifically the notions of analytic functions and Liouville’s Theorem (which we will state below). The fundamental theorem of algebra has quite a few number of proofs (enough to fill a book!). In fact, it seems a new tool in mathematics can prove its worth by being able to prove the fundamental theorem in a different way.

Dear reader, this post has an interactive simulation! We encourage you to play with it as you read the article below. In our series of posts on cellular automata, we explored Conway’s classic Game of Life and discovered some interesting patterns therein.
Word Segmentation, or Makingsenseofthis
Authors: Kun Jeremy
Published: September 2024

A First Look at Google’s N-Gram Corpus In this post we will focus on the problem of finding the appropriate word boundaries in strings like “homebuiltairplanes”, as is common in web URLs like www.homebuiltairplanes.com. This is an interesting problem because humans do it so easily, but there is no obvious programmatic solution.
False Proof – 2 = 4, As the Limit of an Infinite Power Tower
Authors: Kun Jeremy
Published: September 2024

Problem: Prove that $ 2 = 4$. Solution: Consider the value of the following infinitely iterated exponent: $$\displaystyle \sqrt{2}^{\sqrt{2}^{\sqrt{2}^{\cdot^{\cdot^{\cdot}}}}}$$ Let $ a_n = \sqrt{2} \uparrow \uparrow n$, that is, the above power tower where we stop at the $ n$-th term.
False Proof—All Numbers are Describable in at Most Twenty Words
Authors: Kun Jeremy
Published: September 2024

Problem: Show that every natural number can be unambiguously described in fewer than twenty words. “Solution”: Suppose to the contrary that not every natural number can be so described. Let $ S$ be the set of all natural numbers which are describable in fewer than twenty words. Consider $ R = \mathbb{N}-S$, the set of all words which cannot be described in fewer than twenty words.
Inner Product Spaces—A Primer
Authors: Kun Jeremy
Published: September 2024

Vector spaces alone are not enough to do a lot of the interesting things we’d like them to do. Since a vector space is a generalization of Euclidean space, it is natural for us to investigate more specific types of vector spaces which are more akin to Euclidean space. In particular, we want to include the notion of a dot product.
False Proof: 1 = 2 (with Calculus)
Authors: Kun Jeremy
Published: September 2024

Problem: Show 1 = 2 (with calculus) “Solution”: Consider the following: $ 1^2 = 1$ $ 2^2 = 2 + 2$ $ 3^2 = 3 + 3 + 3$ $ \vdots$ $ x^2 = x + x + \dots + x$ ($ x$ times) And since this is true for all values of $ x$, we may take the derivative of both sides, and the equality remains true.
Generalized Functions — A Primer
Authors: Kun Jeremy
Published: September 2024

Last time we investigated the naive (which I’ll henceforth call “classical”) notion of the Fourier transform and its inverse. While the development wasn’t quite rigorous, we nevertheless discovered elegant formulas and interesting properties that proved useful in at least solving differential equations. Of course, we wouldn’t be following this trail of mathematics if it didn’t result in some worthwhile applications to programming.
Möbius Transformations are Isometries of a Sphere
Authors: Kun Jeremy
Published: September 2024

We present a video on Möbius transformations and the geometry of the sphere. Anyone who has taken or will take complex analysis (that means you engineers!) should watch this. It shows not only the beautiful correspondence between the two, but it reveals the intuition behind a lot of complex analysis, when more often than not a student is left in the dust of rigorous formulas.
Geometric Series with Geometric Proofs
Authors: Kun Jeremy
Published: September 2024

Problem: $ \frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{4} + \frac{1}{8} + \dots = 1$ Solution: Problem: $ \frac{1}{3} + \frac{1}{9} + \frac{1}{27} + \dots = \frac{1}{2}$ Solution: Problem: $ \frac{1}{4} + \frac{1}{16} + \frac{1}{64} + \dots = \frac{1}{3}$ Solution: Problem: $ 1 + r + r^2 + \dots = \frac{1}{1-r}$ if $ r < 1$. Solution: This last one follows from similarity of the subsequent trapezoids: the right edge of the teal(ish) trapezoid has length $ r$, and
The Fourier Transform — A Primer
Authors: Kun Jeremy
Published: September 2024

In our last primer we saw the Fourier series, which flushed out the notion that a periodic function can be represented as an infinite series of sines and cosines. While this is fine and dandy, and quite a powerful tool, it does not suffice for the real world. In the real world, very little is truly periodic, especially since human measurements can only record a finite period of time.
