Authors: Sharma Ipsita , Wanjari Sangeeta , Parwani Rajkumar , Tekade Satyajit , Azad Antriksh , Azad Anurag
Published: September 2024

Background:

Oral submucous fibrosis (OSF), a premalignant condition, demands early diagnosis and treatment for an improved prognosis of the patients. Being a chronic inflammatory disease, various markers of inflammation can be used to predict the prognosis of the disease. The present study was undertaken to assess the plasma levels of fibrinogen degradation products (FDPs), D-dimer, and mast cell density (MCD) in patients with OSF.

Materials and Methods:

Forty histopathologically confirmed cases of OSF and 10 age- and sex-matched individuals were included in the study. Two ml of venous blood was obtained from all the study participants and was evaluated for the levels of FDPs, d-dimer, and mast cell densities.

Results:

Comparison of mean plasma levels of FDPs and D-dimer showed a statistically significant increase with the increase in the grades of OSF. Also, a significant association was evident between the plasma FDPs and D-dimer levels. The values of mean mast cell densities from grade I to grade IV OSF were 191.1/mm2, 258.5/mm2, 182.4/mm2, and 165.7/mm2, respectively, and were significantly higher than the value in NOM i.e., 86.5/mm2. There was a statistically significant increase in the values of mast cell densities from grade I to grade II OSF, with grade II OSF showing the highest mast cell densities among all the grades, and the values decreased toward grades III and IV OSF, with grade IV showing the least mast cell densities.

Conclusion:

Excessive areca nut chewing may stimulate collagen synthesis by fibroblasts, enhancing fibrosis, and in turn, raising the plasma fibrinogen levels and thereby the FDPs and d-dimers associated with the advancement of the grade of OSF.
Embalming with honey: Quest for an eco-friendly and non-toxic museum
Authors: Sah Kunal , Chandra Sunira
Published: September 2024

According to Codex Alimentarius, ‘Honey is the natural sweet substance, produced by honeybees from the nectar of plants or from secretions of living parts of plants, or excretions of plant-sucking insects on the living parts of plants, which the bees collect, transform by combining with specific substances of their own, deposit, dehydrate, store and leave in honeycombs to ripen and mature’. It can also penetrate deep into the tissue and can prevent autolysis and putrefaction. This paper highlights the usefulness of honey as an embalming agent.

Authors: Khongsit Anuradha Kar , Kumar Shailesh , Gupta Brijnandan , Kumar Subodh
Published: September 2024

Sarcoidosis is a rare type of multi-organ granulomatous disease. It is characterised by non-caseating necrotising granulomatous inflammation. The exact mechanism causing the disease is unknown due to its variation of manifestation in patients. The clinical presentation of this disease is protean, and often, patients remain asymptomatic throughout life. The most commonly affected organ by sarcoidosis is the lung accounting for up to 90% of all cases. Oral manifestation is a relatively rare presentation of sarcoidosis, and there are only a few cases reported till date. In this case report, the authors present a case of oral sarcoidosis of the retromolar trigone region.
A Clinical Study on Functional Outcome of Percutaneous Transforaminal Endoscopic Discectomy under Local Anesthesia
Authors: Nema Suryansh , Agarwal Varun Kumar
Published: September 2024

Background:

Many surgical approaches from conventional open discectomy, microdiscectomy, percutaneous endoscopic interlaminar discectomy, and transforaminal endoscopic discectomy have been used for the treatment of prolapsed intervertebral disc. Transforaminal endoscopic discectomy through a Kambin’s triangle is a minimally invasive procedure which can be done under local anesthesia, without muscle splitting, with short hospital stay and minimal complications compared to other techniques used.

Aim:

The aim of this study was to evaluate the functional outcomes following percutaneous transforaminal endoscopic discectomy (PTED) under local anesthesia for lumbar disc herniations.

Materials and Methods:

This interventional study was conducted between November 2020 and October 2021 in our Orthopaedics Department after the clearance of the Ethical Committee. This study included 54 patients with radicular pain for at least 3 weeks with a positive nerve root compression sign and who underwent PTED under local anesthesia. The Visual Analog Scale (VAS) and the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) have been used for pre- and postoperative clinical assessment of the patients, and follow-up was done at 6 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, and 1 year postoperatively.

Results:

Maximum patients were in the age group of 61–70 years, and 65.2% of the patients were male. 68.2% of patients had lumbar disc herniation at L4-L5 level. The mean operative time of PTED was 70.6 min. Out of 16 cases of L5-S1 disc prolapse, 1 case was operated by making an iliac bone window due to the inaccessibility of disc space because of highly placed iliac crest. The mean preoperative VAS and ODI scores were 8.1 and 56.6, respectively. The postoperative VAS and ODI scores were dramatically improved at each follow-up interval (P < 0.0001). Out of 66 patients who underwent operation, 4 patients developed surgical site infection and 2 were found to have dysesthesia, and no serious complications were noted.

Conclusion:

PTED has been shown to be a safe, effective, and minimally invasive alternative for the treatment of lumbar disc herniation. PTED found to be favorable because it had a shorter operational time and less epidural scarring, allowing for simple revision procedures as needed. As a result, this points to a greater acceptability of endoscopic procedures and their possible widespread use in the future.

The overall KAP mean score of the study participants was 0.43 out of 1, 2.7 out of 3 and 0.73 out of 1, respectively.

Conclusion:

The attitude and practice aspect concerning the approach to NSI was found to be better for the housekeeping staff and nursing officers when compared with the resident doctors.
Rethinking the ‘as efficient competitor’ test: assessing the wider impact of the CJEU’s judgment in Unilever Italia and its implications in shaping the European Commission’s agenda to reform Article 102 TFEU
Authors: Marinova Miroslava
Published: September 2024

Recently, the European Commission published a communication indicating amendments to its Article 102 TFEU Guidance Paper in light of the latest EU Courts’ judgments on exclusionary abuses. In the Amended Guidance and the accompanying Policy Brief, the Commission provides some guidance related to changes in four main areas: the definition of anti-competitive foreclosure, the ‘as efficient competitor’ test, the assessment of loyalty rebates, and the treatment of refusals to supply and margin squeezes. The analysis in this article reflects on the evolution of the application of the ‘as efficient competitor’ test, focused on the most recent CJEU judgment in Unilever Italia. The article discusses the extent to which competition authorities must examine economic evidence submitted by the dominant company, and whether such evidence can be refuted without in-depth analysis. The article concludes that further clarification is imperative regarding outstanding ambiguities surrounding the appropriate role and use of the as efficient competitor price-cost test in assessing potentially abusive conduct under Article 102 TFEU.
Amazon/iRobot: harbinger of legal dissonance, or lesson in unintended consequences?
Authors: Evans Ben
Published: September 2024

This article examines the process that resulted in the abandonment of Amazon’s proposed acquisition of iRobot in light of the Statement of Objections issued by the European Commission and the substantive provisions of the newly enacted Digital Markets Act. It questions whether the Commission could have credibly challenged the deal on the basis of concerns that Amazon may have had the ability and incentive to engage in certain potentially harmful conduct that would already, to a not insignificant extent, have been prohibited ex ante under the Digital Markets Act. While a more vigilant approach to merger control may be warranted in response to perceived historical underenforcement, intervention motivated by the increasingly popular sentiment that competition in digital markets is suffering a ‘death by a thousand cuts’ should be underpinned by a cogent theory of harm. Insights may be drawn from an emergent ecosystem theory, which seeks to refocus the lens of competition law from narrow market definition to capture a broader network of complementors. However, it is suggested that the decimation of iRobot precipitated by regulatory over-reach stands in diametric opposition to the broad objectives espoused, in particular, by a new generation of competition officials. Ultimately, this article questions whether the outcome of the Commission’s investigation in Amazon/iRobot stands as a harbinger of legal dissonance, or a lesson in unintended consequences.
Cloud services: market reflection and a growth story
Authors: Mantri Aastha , Kaltenbrunner Lisa , Frankel Audrey , Bennett Olivia , Jagoe Simon
Published: September 2024

In 2023, the CMA commenced a market investigation into the cloud services market following a market study by Ofcom that identified initial concerns. The UK cloud services market is growing as new customers enter the market, and existing customers increase workloads. In a growing market, competition concerns could either be resolved as the market grows, or become more entrenched. Intervention may only be required if new demand is not sufficiently contestable to drive competition. The question is therefore, how can a competition authority effectively address competition concerns within a growing market? From an economic and legal perspective, this article examines each of the CMA’s theories of harms through the lens of a nascent market; it highlights the difference in responses of companies and notes the CMA’s emerging findings. It concludes that the CMA’s market investigation, and any possible remedies, should consider the nascency of the market and inputs from market participants, to ensure that intervention, if required, does not stifle current competition for new demand.
The merger-specificity of efficiencies: ensuring consistency of assessment between regulatory concerns, efficiency claims and remedial commitments
Authors: Nilausen Lau
Published: September 2024

Companies pursue mergers and acquisitions as a way to unlock benefits not available to them on a standalone basis. Competition regulators assess such deal rationales both for the purpose of understanding whether a transaction may have detrimental effects on competition and whether any associated benefits may outweigh such concerns. This article analyses the economic rationales that the European Commission has relied on for the assessment of whether efficiency claims are merger-specific and explains how its reasoning also is important for the assessment of any effects the transaction may have on competition. Despite the strict evidentiary standard for merger efficiency claims raising significant obstacles to the success of such claims, demonstrating the merger-specificity of claimed merger efficiencies can therefore nonetheless be valuable as a way to ensure the analytical rigour that may demonstrate that there is no competition issue for any efficiency claim to resolve in the first place or that any such issues can be addressed through appropriate remedies.

The owner wants every sale proceeds to have a recapitulation system and relevant financial reports. Since the implementation of the first PSBB and PPKM on April 28, 2020, the relatively quiet market conditions have caused stockpiles of chicken meat to accumulate and not be distributed. As a result, consumers cannot buy the desired meat if the stall selling the desired meat partners runs out and has to seek or wait for information from other partners. For this reason, an integrated information system is needed because it is considered to save more time and costs. So that consumers don't have to go around looking for meat stocks that are still there that consumers need. Based on the results of observations and interviews that have been carried out at UD. Kazain Broiler in Serang City, the researchers feel the need to build a system as well as a tool that is integrated with the inventory information system so that each partner can exchange information and overcome the problems above.

Published: September 2024

Linux as a free, open (Open Source), and stable Operating System, has  very high Internet and networking capabilities. This can be proven by the number of companies engaged in Internet services and e-commerce using Linux as the main Operating System on its Server, such as eToys.com, freshmeat.net, Mweb.co.id, Satunet Group, and others.
All  Linux software can be freely owned under the GNU General Public License. Based on the license, anyone can have a program in both source code (readable by humans) and binary (machine language), so that the program can be learned, changed, distributed, or further developed by anyone. Another case with Microsoft Windows that cannot be freely owned and is required to pay a license at a very expensive price for those who want to have it. In addition, Microsoft Windows is closed (Close Source), where users or users cannot change, copy and distribute the program.
Although the Linux Mandrake 9.1 Operating System began to be much loved and in demand, Microsoft's Operating System is still the top priority for computer users in Indonesia. Almost all Linux Mandrake 9.1 users in Indonesia leave some space on their hard drive for the Windows family Operating System. For those who are accustomed to using the Windows Operating System, of course, they are familiar with the term File Sharing, Print Sharing or Drive Mapping. The program application is run to be able to share Resources (Files, Folders and Printers) with  other Client computers  on a network that uses the SMB protocol. To bridge this, a program was created in the Linux environment called Samba, so that Unix / Linux systems can communicate with other Windows-based computers.
Samba programs can bridge the complexity of various Unix/Linux Operating System platforms with Windows machines running on a network. Samba is an application of Unix and Linux known as SMB (Server Message Block) protocol. Many Operating Systems such as Windows use SMB to create a Client Server network.
From the explanation above, the author raises this issue to be presented into a discussion, so that we can act as our  own network System Administrator, without the need to pay someone else to install and configure Samba on  a Linux 9.1-based Server Computer Mandrake 9.1.

NU Coin is a program to collect and allocate community financial donations to those in need. Within the Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) structure, the NU Amil Zakat Infaq and Alms Institution (LAZISNU) is the most appropriate institution to manage NU coins from the central level to the branch (village). Lazisu MWC Krejengan faces serious obstacles in managing and reporting NU Coins, which are still done manually. Each branch reports its infaq contribution on a sheet of paper, and then the data is submitted to LAZISNU MWC Krejengan to be input one by one via Microsoft Excel. The archiving process is also manual, causing less efficiency in operations. In an effort to overcome this problem, a web-based NU Coin management information system was designed using a Rapid Application Development (RAD) approach. This system was then tested using the black box testing method. Test results show good quality with an average percentage of 84.8% and the category "very good." The implementation of this system makes it easier for users, including admins, to input NU Coin data. Notifications via WhatsApp are also provided to all users. This system makes it easier to search for information related to NU Coins for LAZISNU MWC Krejengan administrators and branches, increasing efficiency and data accessibility. In conclusion, this system is a suitable solution for optimizing NU Coin management

This research aims to compare and apply the Analysis of Hierarchical Process (AHP) and Simple Additive Weighting (SAW) methods in a Decision Support System (SKS) to select the optimal PHP framework for business website development. AHP is used to evaluate relevant criteria in selecting a framework, such as performance, security, scalability, and community support. On the other hand, SAW is used to assign weights to each criterion and calculate the relative value of each PHP framework alternative. This research compares the two methods in the context of selecting a suitable PHP framework for business website development. The assessment is conducted using data from practical experience and mathematical analysis to assess the performance and advantages and disadvantages of each method. Hopefully, this comparison can provide a deeper understanding of the optimal use of AHP and SAW in selecting a PHP framework.
The implementation of this SDM is expected to help developers and business owners to choose the optimal PHP framework according to their preferences and project needs. The advantage of this approach is its ability to reduce uncertainty in decision making and provide a better understanding of the preferences underlying the PHP framework selection process

Authors: Kang Misoon
Published: September 2024

This study tried to reveal the limitations of university character education and to discuss the necessity and specific direction of happiness education in order for students to attain good life. Recently, character has been emphasized as a future social competency. This is because our future societies are going to require healthy personalities among our current crop of youth as they take up their roles within them. Nevertheless, character education in university is still surrounded by a lot confusion when it comes to its practical implementation. Character education in university was insufficient in meeting the needs and motivations of university students, and in particular, it was not helpful for the mental health of young people in our society. This study paid attention to these points and argued that happiness education encompassing self-other-world is necessary through surveys and literature studies for students. I tried to explain precisely why such happiness education is needed among university students. In particular, I stressed the need for self-understanding time in order to foster the inner health of university students. In addition, this study tried to reveal the importance of exploring the meaning of existential life in happiness education and emphasized values, literay imagination and counseling dialogues as a mediums for happiness education. Since this study is a proposal to examine the necessity and direction of happiness education in universities, concrete and follow-up practical studies are needed to verify its practical effectiveness.
Development of a Consulting Model for Teaching Improvement to Support New Faculty Members : Focusing on Learners’ Perceptions of Class Satisfaction
Authors: Kim Jooyeon , Lim Irang
Published: September 2024

The purpose of this study is to develop a consulting model for teaching improvement to support new faculty members by analyzing learners’ perceptions of class satisfaction. For this purpose, a survey was conducted with 856 university students taking 34 major courses taught by new faculty. The students’ perception was analyzed using an independent samples t-test, Welch's t-test, and qualitative analysis. The main findings are as follows. First, among the class satisfaction items, the averages regarding ‘passion of the instructors’ and ‘answers to students’ questions & interests in their opinions’ are relatively higher, while those concerning ‘adequacy of difficulty level’ and ‘adequacy of class pace and task burden’ are lower than others. Second, no significant difference exists in class satisfaction based on the class size. However, a significant difference was found when comparing two class formats. The average of the discussion class is significantly higher than that of the lecture-based class. Third, when comparing high and low class satisfaction groups, significant differences were found in all 11 items. There were relatively larger average differences in ‘adequacy of the difficulty level’, ‘usefulness of task & test feedback’, ‘utilization of e-learning media & equipment’, and ‘summary of contents’. Additionally, teaching strategies were derived from the lectures with higher students’ satisfaction. Lastly, this study suggests some directions to be taken when it comes to teaching competency development for new faculty and proposes the consultation model for improving their classes and competencies.

Authors: Sozen Sahne Bilge , Arkun Kocadere Selay
Published: September 2024

Background: Gamification, a method affecting student motivation, engagement, and success, is included in pharmacy education. In pharmacy education, gamification concepts are generally confused with game-based learning. This study sought the opinions of pharmacy and pharmacy technician students regarding two different gamification designs with various combinations of game elements.
Methods: A total of 109 pharmacy and 49 pharmacy technician students were assigned to four groups according to a 2 × 2 factorial design. Two gamification designs were made according to the game elements they involved: (1) badges and points and (2) badges, points, and leaderboard. Data were collected through a survey and focus group interviews to explore students’ opinions about the elements.
Results: Of the 129 students who responded to the survey, seven participated in the focus group. Statistically significant differences were observed in terms of entertainment and ambition, while no significant differences were found between the groups regarding motivation. The leaderboard appeared to entertain pharmacy technician students more than pharmacy students. Additionally, two themes, “game elements” and “gamification effect,” emerged from the focus group.
Conclusion: The differences between the groups regarding game elements and educational areas highlight the need to determine suitable game elements for effective gamified learning environments.
