Authors: Barakovic Amna , Jahic Mahira , Cerovac Anis , Hadzimehmedovic Azra
Published: June 2024

Background: Human papillomavirus is a risk factor in the development of cervical cancer. Other risk factors are frequent vaginal infections, cigarette smoking, use of oral contraceptives, but also lack of lacrobacillus in women with HPV infection. Objective: The objective of our study was to determine the risk factors for the development of cervical intraepithelial lesions in women with normal and pathological Pap test results. Methods: The research is a prospective study conducted in the Gynecology Center "Dr. Mahira Jahić" Tuzla and Dom Zdravlja Tešanj since February. 2023 to March 2024. The research included 200 respondents aged 25 to 50. Tested group: 100 subjects with pathological Pap smear findings (ASCUS, LSIL and HSIL) and a control group of 100 subjects with normal Pap smear findings. Sociodemographic data were obtained from the subjects during interviews and examinations: age, cigarette consumption and frequency of previous vaginal infections and the presence of lactobacilli. The obtained results were processed using the methods of descriptive statistics, student's t test and X2 test. A difference for a value of p<0.5 was considered statistically significant. Results: The mean age of the dpbo examined group was 38.1±1.7, while in the control group it was 39.6±1.9 years. Cigarettes were consumed by 62 (31%), 38 (19%) of the examined group, and 24 (12%) of the control group with a statistically significant difference of p<0.05. Out of a total of 100 in the examined group, 60 subjects had LSIL, 9 subjects had HSIL (CIN 2 two subjects and CIN 3 had 7), and ASCUS 29 and ASC-H 2 subjects. Subjects with pathological findings had significantly more vaginal infections during one year (p<0.05). HPV was positive in 65 (65%) subjects with a pathological Pap smear test, and negative HPV in 35 (35%). HPV 16,18 was present in 19 (19%) test subjects in combined form, and mono-isolate HPV 16 in 14 (14%) and HPV 18 in one case. In the combined form of several HPVs, HPV 16 and HPV 31, 33, 35, 45, 56 were found in 5 (5%), and HPV 18 in 4 (4%) with HPV 36, 59, 68. The most frequently isolated HPV 16 in 38 (38%) as monoisolate and in combined form. Lactobacilli were present in 26 (13%) subjects in the test group and in 60 (30%) subjects in the control group, with a statistically significant difference (p<0.05). The presence of Lactobacillus in subjects with a regular Pap test is significantly more frequent compared to women with cervical intraepithelial lesions (ASCUS, LSIL, ASC-H and HSIL) ) in the finding of the Pap test. Conclusion: Altered microflora of the vagina, lack of lactobacilli, frequent vaginal infections and smoking are risk factors for the development of CIN lesions in women positive for high-risk HPV.

Authors: Rosic Semso , Kendic Sulejman
Published: June 2024

Background: Maternal hemoglobin during pregnancy is an important predictor of neonatal outcomes such as infant birth weight. The weight of the newborn is considered a crucial factor for the morbidity and mortality of newborns. The mother's hemoglobin fluctuates significantly during pregnancy. Objective: The aim of the the study was to assess the relationship between the mother's hemoglobin concentration during pregnancy and the birth weight of the newborn. Methods: Design-retrospective analysis of 672 pregnancies with recorded maternal hemoglobin concentration and newborn birth weight recorded in the pregnancy database in the delivery department of the Velika Kladuša Health Center in Bosnia and Herzegovina in the period from 2009 to 2010. Results and Discussion: The maximum mean birth weight was achieved with a hemoglobin concentration of 85-95 g/l. If the optimal drop in hemoglobin concentration does not occur during pregnancy, this condition is associated with an increased risk of giving birth to children with a lower birth weight for gestational age. Conclusion: The optimal drop in hemoglobin concentration during pregnancy is associated with the birth weight of the newborn. Hemoglobin deficiency below 105 g/l indicates an increased risk of low birth weight of the newborn.

Analysing the Effects of Cyber Security on National Security from a Realist Perspective: "Stuxnet" Example
Authors: Çetinkaya Şeref , Terzi Sami
Published: June 2024

In this study, the effects of providing cyber security on national security are examined from a realistic perspective using the example of the Stuxnet virus. It has been stated that the increasing complexity of cyber threats due to technological advances poses serious risks to states' national security. In the study, the critical role of cyber security in protecting national security is emphasized through the Stuxnet attack. The Stuxnet attack is a cyber-attack on the facilities where Iran carried out its nuclear enrichment program in 2010. As a result of this attack, it was revealed that Iran had both interruptions in its nuclear program and a weakness in cyber security. As such, it is underlined that cyber security can affect the international balance of power and the strategic interests of states. From a realist perspective, since ensuring national security requires a resilient defense against cyber threats and vulnerabilities, it has become necessary to consider cyber security as an important parameter in determining national security policies. This study reveals the interdependent relationship between cyber security and national security in this age when cyberspace has become a very important arena for power struggles. Considering these reasons, it has been recommended that states, which realists consider the main actor in the international system, should make investments that will support their cyber security to protect their national security.

A 38-year-old lady with bronchial asthma, psychiatric illness, and a suicidal attempt 6 years ago presented with persistent headache for more than 2 weeks. She was diagnosed with recurrent sinusitis and migraine and was on treatment at a local hospital and referred to a higher center for persistent headache which was orthostatic in nature. Clinically, the patient was alert, oriented, and systemic examination was unremarkable. MRI spine showed extensive extradural collection separating the anterior dural sac from the bony canal extending from C3 to D1. CT Myelogram showed cervical dural leak anteriorly at C7-D1 and bony osteophyte impinging on the dural sac – likely cause of leak. Diagnosis of Spontaneous Intracranial Hypotension was made. As no improvement was noted with trial of conservative management, we proceeded with advanced imaging-guided Epidural blood patch repair, following which the symptoms improved.

Published: June 2024

Youth development programs designed for Latinx youth remain understudied. However, some research reports indicate that having bilingual and bicultural facilitators and developing culturally-infused programs may be effective. Extension educators developed a hands-on youth educational program specifically designed for Latinx youth. Educators hypothesize that adapting programs for Latinx youth will increase the knowledge and confidence levels of Latinx youth compared to their non-Latinx youth counterparts. Results from ourstudy revealed Latinx youth reported greater knowledge gain in most concepts compared to their non-Latinx youth counterparts who simultaneously participated in the same program. In addition, Latinx youth were significantly more likely to understand what can be challenging when starting a business and the skills needed to be an entrepreneur. Findings also indicated that all youth, regardless of identified race and ethnicity, showed positive learning outcomes when programs were culturally adapted. More research on Latinx youth program development and implementation is needed to further understand successful strategies for improved program effectiveness for participants

Published: June 2024

Various factors support or hinder women’s decision to initiate and continue breastfeeding, particularly among working women. Currently, limited literature investigates breastfeeding experiences among working women across time. The purpose of this study was to gain nuanced insight into working women’s breastfeeding experiences during the first year of their infant’s life. Semi-structured, in-depth interviews were conducted with working women residing in a Midwestern state (N = 25) across two time points (when infants were 3-4 months and 9-12 months). Results showed that twenty-one working women initiated and continued breastfeeding when their infants were 3-4 months old, and 14 women in the sample continued breastfeeding when their infants were 9-12 months old. Five themes emerged regarding barriers and facilitators of breastfeeding initiation and continuation. Individual-level factors included 1) Women’s perceptions of breastfeeding as nurturing and pleasurable as well as frustrating and painful and 2) Maternal self-efficacy and beliefs. Setting-level themes included: 3) Active and passive workplace supports, 4) Lactation and breastfeeding supports in the community, and 5) Childcare provider supports. Findings suggest the importance of resources, programming and policy efforts that support the expansion of statewide breastfeeding programs, breastfeeding education for health professionals and childcare providers, lactation rooms, and flexible work scheduling.
Barriers to Becoming CASE Certified as Seen by Agriculture Educators
Authors: Witte Kristin , Conner Nathan W. , Reiling Bryan A. , Balschweid Mark A. , Stripling Christopher T.
Published: June 2024

There is a need to improve science comprehension in the United States. Incorporating scientific principles into the study of food production provides context to engage youth in STEM education. The Curriculum for Agricultural Science Education (CASE) is an inquiry-based program that stimulates scientific engagement. While agriscience teachers believe in the concept, less than 20% are certified in Nebraska to teach CASE. Twenty-five active agriscience teachers, who were not CASE certified, individually discussed their reluctance to become CASE certified. Most research participants had a positive view of CASE but were concerned about the apparent stringent program structure. They questioned individualizing the CASE model for different teaching styles and programs. Three primary barriers to CASE certification were identified: cost, time, and administrative support. Although scholarships were available to cover certification costs ($2,500-$3,000) in Nebraska, participants questioned funding needed equipment and supplies to implement the program. Traditional CASE certifications require 50-100 hours of intense training, and participants opposed trainings that exceeded five days due to personal and professional obligations. Teachers also believe school administrators lack knowledge of CASE benefits. For the widespread implementation of CASE, certification trainings need to be more concise, implementation costs minimized, and school administrators informed of benefits.
Texas 4-H Members’ Sense of Community Engagement and Attachment
Authors: Perdue Emily R. , Lindner James R. , Briers Gary E.
Published: June 2024

Previous researchers found that youth in 4-H were four times more likely to actively contribute to their communities, two times more likely to be civically active, and five times more likely to graduate from college than non-4- H members. In addition, youth who were more actively involved in community engagement tended to perform at an increased academic achievement level and were more likely to go to college, according to previous studies. The results of the research reported here described participants’ community service and engagement activities both in and outside of 4-H and their attachment to their home communities. Respondents were mostly residents of rural areas, farms, or small towns and cities. They were satisfied with where they lived, and they reported that contributing to their community was important to them and believed it made a positive influence on their life. Most participants also indicated that the community in which they lived and the people closest to them were important parts of their lives and contributed positively to their development. By determining current 4-H members’ level of community attachment, Extension professionals can better understand the influence a community and its stakeholders have in a young person’s leadership development and aspirations.

Authors: Lewis Kendra M. , Kok Car Mun , Worker Steven , Miner Gemma
Published: June 2024

Program quality is an important topic for improving out-of-school time youth development programs. High levels of program quality may contribute to enhanced positive youth development outcomes. This paper explores aspects of program quality in the California 4-H Youth Development Program and its relationship to positive youth development outcomes. Results indicated few demographic differences in program quality as experienced and reported by youth. Youths who reported higher levels of program quality also reported higher levels of positive youth development outcomes. Emotional safety and relationship building, two aspects of program quality, were the most consistent predictors of positive youth development outcomes. Youth development programs should assess their current program quality practices to look for needs, especially related to emotional safety and relationship building. Further, program administration and staff should model critical aspects of program quality for direct service providers

Authors: Jan Lilly W. , Coleman Shannon M. , Naig Anirudh
Published: June 2024

Farmers’ markets are popular sources of fresh and ready-to-eat foods for consumers in the United States. However, research indicates that food safety practices of vendors and their employees serve as a concern for customers. This pilot study focused on assessing a visual-based, minimal-text educational tool that was disseminated to farmers’ market vendors and employees (n = 27) in Iowa. The tool was evaluated using a post-intervention survey of vendors’ and employees’ knowledge of food safety practices and their attitudes towards the educational tool. The results did not show a statistically significant increase in attitude and knowledge scores of farmers’ market vendors and employees for participants that reported seeing the food safety tool versus those that did not. However, participants did respond favorably to the food safety tool’s informative content and visual format; many indicated an interest in using the tool in their stalls in the future. The results suggest that farmers’ markets vendors and employees feel favorably towards the use of visual tools in the communication and promotion of safe food handling practices.

Published: June 2024

Blade deformation on a 1 m diameter composite fan rotor is measured simultaneously using stereoscopic image pattern correlation technique (IPCT) and blade-tip imaging. Absolute referencing of the blades is made possible by simultaneously tracking a marker on the hub using a fourth camera. Illumination is provided by microsecond pulses of high-power LEDs. Rise and fall time in the 100 ns regime are achieved using a self-designed high-current drive circuit. A high-speed microcontroller provides accurate, speed-independent angular delays to enable phase-locked triggering of cameras and LEDs. Mean and RMS deformation of the blade are acquired for different aerodynamic loading conditions induced by imposing a non-uniformity upstream of the rotor aimed at mimicking boundary layer ingestion.

Published: June 2024

The fermentation process of tempe embus with conventional methods is highly dependent on weather conditions and requires heat energy (temperature) 25°C - 35°C within 36 - 48 hours. This research aims to stabilize the heat energy and reduce the fermentation process time to get quality tempeh production results in a short time. The research method used is the experimental method by making an automatic temperature and humidity controller and testing its performance. This tool works using the DHT22 sensor and ESP32 microcontroller as the control center. Temperature automation is done with two conditions that are used to regulate lights and fans. If the fermentation temperature is lower than the setpoint, the lower light and upper light turn on, if the temperature rises, the upper light turns off and the fan turns on, to keep the temperature within the pre-set setpoint value. This research shows that the temperature and humidity control device operates stably in the temperature range of 32°C to 35°C. At these temperature conditions, the fermentation process runs stably. At that temperature condition, the fermentation process of tempe embus lasts 16 hours, with testing of color, taste, and smell for the best quality category Tempe.

Lipomas are benign tumors of mature adipocytes. In general, they can occur throughout the body, but they commonly predominate in the upper part of the trunk and extremities. They are the most common mesenchymal cell tumors, their location in the mesentery being extremely rare. Mesenteric lipoma is a rare condition reported in the literature, it should be considered in the differential diagnosis of unexplained abdominal pain. This report describes a rare case of mesenteric lipoma in an adult patient. Despite the benign nature of this tumor, it tends to grow to large dimensions, as is the case of our patient, which correlates with an increase in complications. Small, asymptomatic mesenteric lipomas generally do not require treatment, being diagnosed incidentally through routine abdominal imaging, or they may present with variable abdominal symptoms depending on the size, location, and rate of growth of the tumor. Complementary tests such as ultrasound and computed tomography of the abdomen are useful for diagnosis, the latter being the gold standard and complete surgical resection is the only treatment, with an excellent prognosis. We will describe the case of a giant mesenteric lipoma, which atypically caused acute abdominal pain, and we will carry out a review of the literature on this rare condition in adult patients with certain comorbidities, taking into account the infrequent location of its location for this type of tumors and its in turn, through a histopathological study, rule out any type of malignant behavior

Advancements in Image Enhancement and Attention based efficientdet Optimization Classifier for Precise Osteosarcoma Lung Nodule Detection
Authors: Nandhini A , Sengaliappan M
Published: June 2024

Introduction: osteosarcoma is a malignant bone tumor that frequently spreads to the lungs, hence therapy effectiveness depends on early identification. However, noise and subtle characteristics still pose a challenge for reliable Lung Nodules Detection (LND) in medical pictures. In earlier work, SSD-VGG16 was implemented to provide a bounding box with an accuracy score that represented a single osteosarcoma nodule. Increasing model complexity is sometimes necessary to achieve improved accuracy with current approaches, which might worsen their computing inefficiencies.
Method: for accurate osteosarcoma lung nodule identification, this study offers the hybrid Dynamic Virtual Bats Algorithm with Attention based Efficient Object identification (A- EfficientDet). In order to improve the quality and informativeness of clinical pictures, this study suggests including Chebyshev filtering into the pre-processing pipeline. It focuses on CT scans for the purpose of detecting lung nodules associated with osteosarcoma. Additionally, provide the optimized A-EfficientDet model, a hybrid EfficientDet model improved using the DVBA optimization technique for accurate lung nodule identification.
Results: the effectiveness of the suggested strategy in attaining accurate osteosarcoma LND is demonstrated by the experimental findings. Chebyshev filtering is incorporated during the pre-processing step, which leads to more accurate detection findings by improving the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and lung nodule visibility.
Conclusion: additionally, the improved EfficientDet model demonstrates its suitability for clinical applications in early osteosarcoma detection and treatment monitoring by achieving (SOTA) State-Of-The-Art execution by the metrics of sensitivity, specificity, and F1 score
Online dating apps and the association with emotional reactions: A survey on the motivations, compulsive use, and subjective online success of Chinese young adults in online dating
Authors: Gao Hao , Yin Huimin , Zheng Zhen , Wang Han
Published: June 2024

Dating applications, such as Momo, have become trendy among the young population in China. While there have been some studies on online dating applications, limited research has explored the association between these applications and adolescents’ mental health, and how they are related. This study investigates the motivations behind Chinese youth using online dating applications, the relationship between motivations and compulsive use, and their associations with subjective online success and mental health. Specifically, this study surveyed from February 2022 to March 2022, involving 451 young Chinese adults aged 18 to 35 (mean age = 25.17 years, SD = 4.25, and the biological sex distribution was 49.45% male and 50.55% female). The results indicate that motivations, including social approval, relationship seeking, sexual experiences, and socializing, were associated with adolescents’ compulsive use of online dating apps. The compulsive use of online dating apps was associated with higher reports of feelings such as joviality, sadness, and anxiety. Furthermore, the association between compulsive use and young adults’ mental health appeared to be mediated by subjective online success. The findings of this study provide a better understanding of the behavior and consequences of using online dating apps within the youth population.

Published: June 2024

Antisocial behaviour by social media users has escalated, which in turn has created various socio-psychological implications for users and society at large. However, there is a paucity of empirical research on the concept of cyber aggression inclination (CAI) and its personal and situational antecedents in the context of social media. This study explores and measures the CAI of general social media users and examines the personal and situational factors affecting CAI. Data was collected using an online survey resulting in a sample of respondents who are active social media users. A total of 101 responses were received of which 71 were complete. Primary data was analysed using Partial Least Squares-Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM) to test eight hypotheses. Findings suggest perceived anonymity, impulsive use of social media and subjective norms are correlated with and CAI. We could not find any conclusive evidence to suggest a significant association exerted by prior aggression victimisation, social pressure, and perceived incident severity on CAI. This paper makes original contributions to the field of cyberpsychology where a more specific form of antisocial behaviour has been studied in social media settings.

Relevant Alternatives and Missed Clues: Redux
Authors: Hawke Peter ,   Journal of Philosophy Inc.
Published: June 2024

I construe Relevant Alternatives Theory (RAT) as an abstract combination of anti-skepticism and epistemic modesty, then re-evaluate the challenge posed to it by the missed clue counterexamples of Schaffer. The import of this challenge has been underestimated, as Schaffer’s specific argument invites distracting objections. I offer a novel formalization of RAT, accommodating a suitably wide class of concrete theories of knowledge. Then, I introduce ‘abstract missed clue cases’ and prove that every RA theory, as formalized, admits such a case. This yields an argument—in Schaffer’s spirit—that resists easy dismissal.
In Light of Political Developments, The Impact of Population and Migration Movements on Architectural Structures: The Case of Sinasos/Mustafapaşa
Authors: Demirkol Fırat , Demirkol Rabia Sevda
Published: June 2024

Individuals living in societies and societies have been forced to leave their territory and live in new areas of life, sometimes, preferably for some time, unwillingly. Societies and individuals change over time. There are changes in the conditions and needs of the day, as well as in the equipment and lifestyles used as a result of evolving technology. This is a direct reflection of where things are happening, and change is inevitable. This revealed the fact that people adapted to the area and culture concerned, but also to newcomers in the area concerned. The Anatolian geography has been home to ancient civilizations for thousands of years, and this has happened many times in history. In this context, the study was aimed at highlighting the architectural change in the region of Sinasos/Mustafapaşa, one of the important historical and tourist sites of Anatolia, as a result of migration and population movements, and the effects of this situation on the architecture. As a result of this work, forced migration and population movements often bring about changes in the traditional identities of the regions, and this is what decision-makers are asking for. Although this change is occurring, because of the combinations and similarities of cultures over time, structural and architectural change is not a radical change, and continues to create natural similarities and continuities.

Published: June 2024

This study uses WorldPop data and the Earth Engine platform to predict population in Banten, Jakarta, West Java, Central Java, Special Region of Yogyakarta and East Java Provinces. Through high-resolution grid-based analysis, the study identifies patterns of population growth that are not visible with traditional, more aggregated data. Prediction results show significant population increases from 2020 to 2023, with Jakarta and West Java experiencing the most notable growth. Predictions for 2050 show significant population increases in all provinces, with Jakarta and West Java being the provinces with the highest populations.

Tingkat minat baca masyarakat di Indonesia diketahui terbilang cukup rendah. Berdasarkan data United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) di tahun 2016 Indonesia berada di peringkat 60 dari 61 negara di dunia. Dan rasio literasi Indonesia adalah 0,001% yang artinya, dari seribu orang, hanya satu orang yang suka membaca. Berbagai faktor penyebab rendahnya minat baca antara lain: masyarakat Indonesia masih menggunakan budaya lisan daripada budaya membaca, fasilitas perpustakaan yang kurang memadai, daya beli buku yang rendah karena mahalnya harga buku fisik, dan banyaknya jenis hiburan visual. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengembangkan aplikasi membaca digital bernama Yassa, yang merupakan pengembangan aplikasi berbasis android yang bisa digunakan sebagai alternatif untuk masyarakat dalam membaca, dan menulis gratis untuk meningkatkan literasi. Metodologi penelitian dalam pengembangan aplikasi Yassa ini menggunakan metode DevOps dengan melibatkan pemangku kepentinagan dan pengguna akhir untuk memastikan solusi sesuai dengan harapan. Aplikasi Yassa berhasil dikembangkan dengan fitur note yang dapat menyimpan kutipan-kutipan menarik dari buku yang kita baca, dan fitur suara yang dapat membacakan isi buku, juga pengubah suara menjadi teks. Hasil pengujian aplikasi menggunakan metode Black Box yang terdiri dari usability serta user statisfaction testing, dan dapat menjadi solusi alternatif masyarakat.

Comprehensive Treatment of Knee Osteoarthritis Pain through Cryoneurolysis: A Promising Approach for Deep and Superficial Genicular Nerve Modulation - Case Report
Authors: Chrysostomides Stavros
Published: June 2024

Background

Knee osteoarthritis is a prevalent and debilitating condition characterized by joint pain, stiffness, and limited mobility. Conventional non-operative treatment approaches often do not provide adequate relief of the patient’s symptoms. Cryoneurolysis of the superficial genicular nerves is a growing and accepted technique used to treat knee pain, however, there is limited literature demonstrating the effectiveness of treating both the superficial and deep genicular nerves, as well as the use of subsequent repeat treatments.

Case Report

This case study reports on a 65 year-old male with Kellgren-Lawrence grade 2-3 tricompartmental bilateral knee osteoarthritis who underwent cryoneurolysis of the superficial and deep genicular nerves with the iovera° cryoneurolysis device followed by two subsequent repeat cryoneurolysis treatments.

Conclusion

The results demonstrated a complete resolution of the patient’s pain and enhanced quality of life following cryoneurolysis. Furthermore, subsequent repeat treatments sustained the pain reduction, offering the patient an extended period of improved mobility and reduced discomfort. This case study demonstrates that cryoneurolysis holds promise as a valuable addition to the armamentarium of interventions available for managing knee pain and improving the quality of life for patients suffering from osteoarthritis when they are unable or decide not to pursue surgical intervention.
