Published: October 2024

Introduction: Dermatological conditions affecting the nails can manifest differently in individuals with distinct skin tones. This often leads to difficulty in the recognition of nail diseases especially in people with skin of color (SoC), that result not well represented in the literature. Objectives: Our aim was to provide dermatologists with useful clues for prompt recognition and diagnosis of nail psoriasis (NPso) and nail lichen planus (NLP) in people with SoC. Methods: We described the ungual manifestations of NPso and NLP in a population of 30 patients with SoC. Diagnosis was primarily based on clinical examination; in cases of diagnostic uncertainty, a biopsy of the nail matrix was performed to obtain histological conclusive evidence. Results: Of the 30 people with SoC in the analysis, 24 patients had NPso with a median Fitzpatrick phototype of 4.77 and 6 patients had NLP with a median Fitzpatrick phototype of 5. Regarding the 24 patients with NPso, 10 presented with trachyonychia, 9 displayed nail pitting, 8 showed onycholysis, 12 had subungual hyperkeratosis, while splinter hemorrhages were visible in 2 patients and activation melanonychia was discernible on the nail plates of 8 patients. Over the 6 patients diagnosed with NLP, all of them had post-inflammatory pigmentation on the proximal nail, with 3 patients exhibiting trachyonychia and 3 others having longitudinal fissures; subungual hyperkeratosis was found in 5 patients, while 3 patients displayed activated melanonychia. Conclusion: People with SoC exhibit a peculiar clinical presentation of both NPso and NLP and a better understanding is essential for providing timely and effective care.

Published: October 2024

Introduction: Dermoscopy is a noninvasive diagnostic tool that allows the recognition of morphologic structures not visible to the naked eye. Trichoscopy is useful for the diagnosis and follow-up of hair and scalp disorders. Objective: The aim of the present study is to evaluate the causes of focal non-cicatricial alopecia in Egyptian children and to assess the importance of the trichoscope in the diagnosis of each disease. Methods: This study was done with 200 Egyptian children patients aged from 2 to 18 years who suffered from focal non-cicatricial alopecia. Clinical and dermoscopic evaluations were performed for all patients, and informed consent was obtained from their parents. Results: The most prevalent diagnoses were alopecia areata (42%) and tinea capitis (40.5%), followed by trichotillomania (8%) and tractional alopecia (7%). Congenital triangular alopecia (1.5%) and patchy androgenetic alopecia (1%) were less common. Trichoscopy revealed distinct features in alopecia areata cases, such as short vellus hair, exclamation mark hair, black dots, broken hair, pigtail hair and upright regrowing hair. The most common trichoscopic features of tinea capitis were comma hair, corkscrew hair, broken hair, bent hair, zigzag hair, morse code hair, perifollicular scaling, and diffuse scaling. These findings contribute to understanding the etiology and clinical presentation of childhood alopecia, facilitating accurate diagnosis and appropriate management. Conclusion: The routine use of dermoscopy in the clinical evaluation of scalp and hair disorders enhances diagnostic capabilities beyond simple clinical inspection. Dermoscopy reveals disease features that contribute to accurate diagnosis and improved management.

Published: October 2024

Introduction: Localized scleroderma is a rare inflammatory skin disease that causes sclerosis in the dermis and subcutaneous tissue. Oxidative stress may play a role in the etiology or be responsible for the chronicity or progression of the disease. Objectives: We aimed to investigate the presence of oxidative stress in patients with localized scleroderma by examining thiol disulfide balance, ischemia-modified albumin (IMA), and prolidase parameters. Methods: Twenty patients over the age of 18, who were diagnosed with localized scleroderma both clinically and histopathologically and 20 control subjects were included in the study. Age, gender, age of disease onset, duration of the disease, and presence of accompanying systemic diseases were questioned and recorded. Lesion type and modified Rodnan and Lossi scores were calculated through dermatological examination. CRP, sedimentation rate, total thiol, native thiol, and disulfide levels indicated by the Erel profile, IMA level, and prolidase levels were measured and compared in both the patient and control groups. Results: Levels of native thiol (p=0.958), total thiol (p=0.979), disulfide (p=0.449), (disulfide/native thiol%) (p=0.368), (disulfide/total thiol%) (p=0.361), (native thiol/total thiol%) (p=0.368), and prolidase (p=0.121) were similar in both patient and control groups. Only IMA was significantly different. No significant relationship was found between the levels of native thiol, total thiol, disulfide, (disulfide/native thiol), (disulfide/total thiol), IMA, prolidase, and Rodnan and Lossi scores. Conclusion: According to the data obtained from this study, we can say that the thiol-disulfide balance is not disrupted and prolidase levels are not affected in localized scleroderma; however, IMA is negatively affected.

Authors: Іваницька Юлія
Published: October 2024

Метою роботи було виявити значення гематологічних параметрів, які вказують на «типову» та «атипову» імунні відповіді організму людини на дію вірусу SARS-CoV-2.
Методологія. В основу дослідження покладені результати лабораторної діагностики, проведеної на основі використання  автоматичного гематологічного аналізатора ВС-6000 MINDRAY на базі Комунального Підприємства «Олександрівська клінічна лікарня міста Києва» для контрольної та досліджуваної групи – хворих, для яких клінічно встановлено діагноз «Covid-19, середній ступінь тяжкості».
Наукова новизна. Подальшого розвитку набуло обґрунтування біохімічних процесів, які відображають імунні відповіді організму людини на дію вірусу SARS-CoV-2, який спричиняє коронавірусну хворобу  Covid-19.
Висновки. Серед біологічних маркерів «типової імунної відповіді» організму хворих на Covid-19 обрано: збільшення порівняно з референтними значеннями рівня лейкоцитів WBC (лейкоцитоз), гранулоцитів GRA, зменшення рівня лімфоцитів LYM (лімфопенія), що супроводжується нейтрофільозом. На основі одержаних результатів серед членів досліджуваної групи виявлено умовну «групу ризику», для яких клінічно лікарями встановлений діагноз «Covid-19, середній ступінь тяжкості», мають «атипову імунну відповідь» організму на дію вірусу SARS-CoV-2: рівні лейкоцитів WBC, лімфоцитів LYM, гранулоцитів GRA знаходилися переважно в межах референтних значень або наближені до нижньої межі референтних значень. Визначено додаткові біологічні маркери, які вказують на «атипову імунну відповідь» організму на коронавірусну інфекцію Covid-19: однаковий рівень концентрації лімфоцитів (LYM) та нейтрофілів на лейкоцитарній гістограмі WBC; зменшення порівняно з референтними значеннями середнього об’єму еритроцитів (MCV) та середнього вмісту гемоглобіну в еритроциті (MCH), що обумовлює виникнення мікроцитозу, є підставою для появи анемії; розширення еритроцитарної кривої на гістограмі RBC, існування двох піків вказують на неоднорідність розмірів еритроцитів, що спричиняє зміни в гомеостазі заліза  та порушення еритропоезу; зменшення рівня тромбокриту (PCT) вказує на високу ймовірність тромбоцитопенії; наявність на тромбоцитарній гістограмі PLT, яка не закінчується на базисній лінії, дрібних «зубчастих вершин» свідчить про можливу агрегацію тромбоцитів та їх здатність утворювати кров’яні згустки.
ФЕНОТИПІЧНА ПЛАСТИЧНІСТЬ ТRIFOLIUM REPENS L. ЯК ІНФОРМАТИВНА ІНДИКАТОРНА ОЗНАКА ЕКОФІТОМОНІТОРИНГУ
Authors: Морозова Тетяна
Published: October 2024

Мета роботи. Порівняльний аналіз внутрішньо- і міжпопуляційної мінливості локальних популяцій Trifolium repens за малюнком «сивої» плями на листку рослин у різних екологічних умовах.
Методологія досліджень базувалася на камеральних та польових дослідженнях, матеріали зібрано із використанням геоботанічних методів. Аналіз генетичного поліморфізму та індивідуальної мінливості проводили за загальноприйнятими методиками.
Наукова новизна. Здійснено аналіз поліморфізму популяцій Т. repens у різнофункціональних зонах урбоекосистеми. Встановлено морфогенетичну однорідність, з переважанням фенотипів О, А та С у природних популяціях. Індукована середовищем фенотипічна пластичність може бути критичним компонентом реакції на зміну середовища. Механізм збереження поліморфізму в урбосередовищі обумовлений адаптивними ефектами наддомінування, коли в популяції зберігаються різні алелі завдяки балансуючому добору, що сприяє гетерозиготності. Територіям із високим антропогенним навантаженням властива така різноманітність фенотипів: АН та ВНС. У селитебних зонах переважає фенотип ВН, а в індустріальних – ВНС, що може слугувати індикаційною ознакою.
Виявлені відмінності в біомасі стебел та листків у різних екосистемах: агрокультурні та девастовані зони мають найбільшу біомасу, а лучна екосистема вирізняється найбільшими значеннями висоти квітконоса та черешка біомаси стебел та листків, але найменшою кількістю листків. Зменшення діаметра, маси суцвіття та кількості квіток в суцвітті є неспецифічною реакцією на антропогенний вплив, з максимальним відхиленням стійкості розвитку конюшини в зоні витоптування.
Висновки. Досліджено поліморфізм популяцій T. repens методом кількісного підрахунку неоднорідності популяцій за наявністю та різноманіттям «сивої» плями на листках. Проаналізовано форму малюнка, частоту появу фенотипів, відзначено наявність рослин з унікальними фенотипами (малюнок іншого кольору, листки з 4 і більше листочками). Встановлено відмінність за частотою трапляння генотипів у різнофункціональних зонах, відмічена залежність ступеня гетерогенності популяцій від віку та виду антропогенного навантаження. Виявлено 10 фенотипічних класів, мінімальна кількість різноманітних фенів склала – 4, що вказує на різний ступінь морфогенетичного поліморфізму.

Published: October 2024

Insufficient sunlight exposure significantly contributes to the development of nutritional rickets, highlighting the critical importance of sunlight in maintaining optimal bone health and preventing this debilitating condition. Nutritional rickets, a preventable skeletal disorder, has significant implications for child health and development, particularly where there is limited sunlight exposure. Adequate sunlight exposure, especially in the form of ultraviolet B (UVB) radiation, is essential for synthesizing and maintaining optimal vitamin D levels, which are key in preventing nutritional rickets.  This systematic review aims to comprehensively analyze the relationship between inadequate sunlight exposure and the development of nutritional rickets among children. The review could inform effective preventive strategies by identifying the precise levels of sunlight exposure needed for healthy development and the factors contributing to inadequate exposure. Literature was searched through Google scholar, PubMed (Medline), Cochrane, and Elsevier using the following key terms; Nutritional rickets, Sunlight exposure, and vitamin D deficiency. Only peer-reviewed articles and research theses were included. Additionally, only literature reporting on nutritional rickets as a result of inadequate sunlight exposure practices were included. A total of 9 papers were included in the review. Findings such as Limited Sunlight Exposure with factors such as closed housing environments, urbanization, and cultural practices contributing to this phenomenon, Misconceptions and Fear regarding potential harms associated with sunlight exposure, such as skin cancer, sterility, and blindness, Disparities in Knowledge and Practices about sunlight exposure, Environmental Influences such as housing conditions and access to outdoor spaces significantly influence sunlight exposure opportunities for children. Interventions aimed at enhancing sunlight accessibility and creating sun-safe environments are crucial for optimizing exposure and preventing rickets. Comprehensive strategies are necessary to address sunlight exposure practices' complexities, including education, cultural sensitivity, policy reforms, and environmental modifications. Integrating these interventions is essential for promoting optimal sunlight exposure and improving child health outcomes.

In the post-Soviet space, the South Caucasus has always stood out as the most conflict-ridden region. Three powerful neighbors of the region - Russia, Turkey and Iran - constantly monitor developments here, seeking to increase the dose of influence. As a result of the change of power, in 2012, the Georgian Dream party came to power in Georgia, and anti-Russian sentiments in the country began to decline. Despite all the pressure, the Georgian authorities did not join the sanctions imposed by the United States and the European Union against Russia. The «Georgian Dream» party put forward a legislative initiative on foreign agents in 2023, after which it faced mass protests. As a result, the bill was withdrawn, but already in the next year, 2024, the majority of members of parliament again introduced the bill and on May 28th it was adopted. In Georgia, in 2023-2024, domestic political processes are taking place around this law, including the issue of changing the foreign policy vector.

The purpose of this study was to ascertain the challenges facing the implementation of inclusive education programs in Pakistani public primary schools in Tehsil Liaquatpur. The goals of this research project are: 1) To determine the status of inclusive education implementation. 2) To determine the main challenges in implementing inclusive teaching methods. 3) To investigate the attitudes of administration and teachers about inclusive education. 4) To look into whether resources are adequate and available. A descriptive quantitative survey design was selected for this study. The population of this study is all public primary schools (595) of tehsil LQP, and the sample is 119 public primary schools. From these schools, 119 head teachers and 357 teachers participated as a sample. A simple random sampling technique is used. For data collection, two self-structured questionnaires were used; one for head teachers and one for teachers. After data collection, SPSS was used to analyze data. The results revealed significant challenges in the implementation of inclusive education such as parents’ reluctance, lack of teacher training, insufficient resources, traditional methods, a lack of educational facilities, lack of support, poverty, transportation issues, etc. The study suggests that working with students with disabilities and small class sizes positively impacted the participants’ attitudes toward inclusion. A teacher must hold high self-efficacy beliefs, reliable teaching strategies, and positive attitudes toward children with special needs. The study will aid the teachers, head teachers, parents, policymakers, sponsors, and the general public need in handling the investigated obstacles for better learning and development.

Published: October 2024

This study aimed to explore the challenges encountered by undergraduate students in speaking English, utilizing a sequential explanatory design to gather both quantitative and qualitative data. In the first phase, a five-point Likert-scale questionnaire, based on Shen and Chiu (2019), was administered to 80 students from the Department of Education at three public universities in Rawalpindi and Islamabad to assess their challenges in speaking English. In the second phase, qualitative data was obtained through semi-structured interviews with six participants (two from each university), to provide deeper insights into the challenges identified in the survey. Quantitative data was analyzed descriptively, with frequencies and percentages calculated to identify prevalent trends, while qualitative data were subjected to open coding for thematic analysis. The findings revealed that linguistic barriers were the most significant contributors to students' challenges in speaking English. Key linguistic difficulties included limited vocabulary, poor sentence structure, and inadequate grammatical proficiency. Additionally, psychological barriers such as anxiety, fear of making errors, and a lack of confidence were also prominent, alongside environmental factors, notably a suboptimal learning environment characterized by insufficient support and limited opportunities for English conversation. Moreover, the qualitative data underscored the importance of regular practice, with participants emphasizing daily English-speaking exercises as a critical strategy for improving language proficiency. These findings have important pedagogical implications, suggesting the need for targeted interventions to enhance students' English-speaking abilities, particularly by addressing linguistic deficiencies and fostering more supportive and interactive learning environments.

Published: October 2024

Cashew plantations generate significant interest in Benin due to their high socioeconomic value for the population. A thorough understanding of the spatial distribution of these plantations is crucial for comprehending their environmental and socioeconomic impacts. In this study, various types of multi-sensor imagery were compared to assess each sensor's capabilities in mapping plantation areas. The study was conducted in the Savè commune, a major industrial cashew-producing region. Multispectral sensors from Landsat-8 Operational Land Imager (OLI), Sentinel-2A, and UAV multispectral platforms, along with ground surveys, were fused and classified using the Random Forest algorithm. The study results allowed for the assessment of uncertainties associated with different platforms in detecting cashew plantations in the test area. Classification using Random Forest algorithms on UAV, Sentinel, and Landsat platform images yielded overall accuracies of 83%, 65%, and 48%, respectively. Producer and user accuracies were 94% and 75% for the UAV platform, 98% and 71% for the Sentinel platform, and 91% and 77% for the Landsat platform in cashew tree detection. This study demonstrates the complementarity among various platforms in detecting and mapping cashew plantations.

Published: October 2024

There are numerous monitoring technologies available today, owing to the rapid advancements in technology and the increasing demand for safety and security in forests. Real-time monitoring with AI cameras, which are commonly utilized for creating and updating real-time features through surveillance, stands out as one of the most effective monitoring solutions. The objective of this current research is to monitor various risk zones within the Periyar Tiger Reserve by integrating real-time AI camera with geographic data. AI cameras were strategically placed using spatial analysis techniques. Leveraging Geographic Information System (GIS) technology, the system facilitates the spatiotemporal management of multiple cameras and their associated data. The spatial distribution and monitoring range of the AI cameras are depicted on the GIS map, along with the layout densities of the cameras and other pertinent information stored in a geospatial database. Additionally, merging various risk areas identified from past incidents with the camera locations enhances the system's capability to establish accurate topological connections between cameras and other points of interest. The results revealed that only 13% of the risk zone was observable from the nine available Real Time Monitoring towers. However, with the addition of 51 more towers, the visibility of the risk zone would increase to 40%. The remaining 15% of the risk zones were not visible through the existing infrastructure. To address this visibility gap, if permitted by the Wildlife Protection Act, wired communication may need to be implemented instead of wireless for monitoring these areas.

Indonesia is currently facing an electricity oversupply issue, hence migrating consumers from traditional Liquified Petroleum Gas (LPG) stoves to induction stoves offers the potential to enhance electricity utilization and effectively address this predicament. This study aims to investigate the influential factors behind consumers' intentions to switch from traditional LPG stoves to induction stoves. The data were collected from 802 traditional LPG stoves consumers, who are Indonesian citizens, residing across various regions of Indonesia, and have not previously purchased an induction stove to achieve the objective. The collected data were analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The findings reveal the importance of Push, Pull, and Mooring factors in motivating consumers to switch from LPG stoves to induction stoves. This research contributes critical insights to academia, industry, and policymakers as well, offering a nuanced understanding of the dynamics influencing this transition in the Indonesian market and playing a pivotal role in addressing the electricity oversupply issue in Indonesia.

This study aims to design a development plan for technical competencies in land management, specifically within the Regional Office of the National Land Agency (BPN) DKI Jakarta Province. The complexity of land issues in urban areas like Jakarta necessitates the improvement of technical competencies among functional land administrators to ensure effective performance and service delivery. Using a qualitative research approach, data was gathered through interviews, observations, and document analysis. The research highlights the absence of a structured competency development plan for land administrators and suggests the need for tailored training programs. Findings emphasize the importance of digital literacy, land administration skills, legal expertise, and communication skills to meet the demands of modern land management. The study concludes with recommendations for competency development that aligns with organizational goals, proposing a competency framework tailored to the challenges faced in Jakarta.
