Authors: Ghani Altaf ,   University Malaysia Sarawak Malaysia, Hassan Zamri bin Hj , Carlo Dolly Paul ,   University Malaysia Sarawak Malaysia,   University Malaysia Sarawak Malaysia
Published: May 2023

For all individuals, regardless of their age, ethnicity or other attributes, reproductive health rights are everyone’s right to make reproductive choices. Reproductive health privileges include the right to access RH related knowledge, insights and to encourage decisions along with the facilitation of reproductive health. The study focuses on the investigation of women’s sovereignty in decision-making regarding their reproductive health. The data was collected through in-depth interviews and focus groups discussion to seek detailed information. A hybrid technique was used to figure out and analyze the data collected from 42 study respondents between age 15-49 years. Results reveal that husband's reported 47.61percent authority of decision making while the role of mother-in-law is reducing as the culture of nuclear family type is increasing. Women also are in a position to engage in decision making process. Patriarchal social practices, and polygyny marriages reduce the decision-making authority of women especially for their maternal health. Study is also backs up by existing studies showing that educational qualification improves the decision-making power of women. According to the Reproductive and Healthcare Rights Act 2013 by national policy of Pakistan, women have a right to reproductive health care information. Keywords: Reproductive health, women of reproductive age, decision making, reproductive rights, autonomy.
In-Situ Follicular Neoplasia: A Case Series
Authors: Arora Vikram ,   McMaster University, Hamilton, ON, Canada
Published: May 2023

Introduction: Precursor lymphoid lesions have long been recognized in hematopathology. Monoclonal B-cell lymphocytosis has been established as a precursor to CLL, and NK-cell enteropathy was recently identified as a lymphoproliferative disease mimicking NKT-cell lymphoma in the digestive tract. Neither of these lesions requires treatment without transformation to a more aggressive form.
What Is Performative Activism?
Authors: Thimsen A. Freya
Published: May 2023

Performative activism is a critical label that is applied to instances of shallow or self-serving support for social justice causes. The accusation rests on a distinction between what is said by supposed supporters and what they actually do. One of the challenges of understanding the rhetoricity of the phrase “performative activism” is that its definition seems to place it at odds with the most common scholarly definitions of “performative,” in which there is little or no difference between saying and doing. Nonetheless, making a distinction between what is said and done is rhetorically effective in itself. By understanding the accusation of performative activism as a type of critique, we can begin to see how such critical gestures are better understood as demands rather than condemnations.

Objetivo: conhecer o perfil demográfico e as características que levam à solicitação de tomografia computadorizada de feixe cônico (TCFC) pelos especialistas em Cirurgia e Traumatologia Bucomaxilofacial (CTBMF) do estado do Rio Grande do Sul, para diagnóstico e planejamento cirúrgico de terceiros molares inferiores (3MI) impactados. Métodos: foram enviados questionários eletrônicos para todos os especialistas em CTBMF do RS. O questionário compreendia perguntas demográficas, clínicas e imaginológicas. O teste Qui-Quadrado foi utilizado para verificar a associação entre as variáveis. Resultados: 115 questionários foram respondidos. O exame mais solicitado foi a panorâmica (95%). A TCFC foi solicitada por 50 especialistas (30 utilizam software). Localização do canal mandibular, dilaceração radicular e reabsorção do segundo molar são os aspectos mais avaliados na TCFC (P < 0,05); já o contato da raiz com o canal mandibular foi dito ser avaliado nos dois exames. Complicações permanentes foram relatadas por 21 especialistas, associadas a profissionais com maior tempo de graduação e/ou especialização (P < 0,05), mas não com o tipo de exame solicitado (P > 0,05). Na percepção dos especialistas, a TCFC tem papel importante em casos de alta complexidade. Conclusão: a panorâmica ainda é o exame mais utilizado para avaliação de 3MI impactados pelos especialistas em CTBMF do RS, porém a TCFC tem sido solicitada para complementação do diagnóstico e planejamento e como meio de segurança jurídica do profissional.

Objetivo: avaliar a condição bucal de mulheres com diabetes mellitus gestacional (DMG) internadas no Hospital Escola (HE) da Universidade Federal de Pelotas (UFPel). Métodos: trata-se de um estudo transversal retrospectivo de base hospitalar, em que dois residentes treinados realizaram a coleta dos dados por meio da avaliação dos prontuários médicos e odontológicos, no período de setembro de 2019 a março de 2020. Os dados socioeconômicos e demográficos e o diagnóstico de DMG foram coletados dos prontuários médicos, enquanto hábitos e condição bucal, dos prontuários odontológicos. A análise dos dados foi realizada no programa Stata 11.0, usando os testes Exato de Fisher e Regressão de Poisson. Resultados: foram avaliados os prontuários de 83 gestantes, destas, 37 (44,6%) apresentavam DMG. A presença de DMG esteve associada com as gestantes de maior faixa etária (62,2%) e no terceiro trimestre de gestação. Em sua maioria, tinham renda de até dois salários mínimos, eram solteiras, tinham filhos e realizaram pré-natal. Em relação à avaliação bucal, apenas a presença de cálculo dental e inflamação gengival foi estatisticamente associada à presença de DMG (p= 0,030 e 0,014 respectivamente). A autopercepção do sorriso foi considerada ruim por 40,5%, e a maioria teve dentes perdidos por cárie (64,9%). Conclusões: a prevalência de DMG foi alta entre as gestantes internadas, sendo maior em mulheres de mais idade. Presença de cálculo dental e inflamação gengival foram fortemente associadas à presença de DMG, enquanto hábitos bucais e presença de cárie não apresentaram associação. Novas pesquisas, com exames periodontais completos, são necessárias para verificar as condições periodontais dessas mulheres. Palavras-chave: odontologia; gestação; diabetes mellitus gestacional; cárie; hospital.

Published: May 2023

This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of using the Instagram application to increase the vocabulary. This research employed an experimental design. The populations were the students of SMA Negeri 1 Sentani in the academic year 2021/2022. The sample consisted of 34 students from grade 11 (19 females and 15 males) chosen by using a purposive sampling technique. The instruments of this research were pre-tests, treatment and post-tests. The data was analyzed by using SPSS for Windows. As per the data, the experimental group experienced improvement in their understanding of using the Instagram application to increase the vocabulary and order indicated by the post-test mean score (84.7). The gain score of the experimental group was (55.7). Another supporting indicator is the t-test value, which was higher than the t-table value (8.379>2.035). The result of this study showed that experimental performance had improved significantly. Which mean null hypothesis (H0) was rejected and alternative hypothesis (Ha) was accepted. As a result, it was determined that the Instagram application was effective in increasing the size of students' vocabulary. The author suggests that more research be completed on using Instagram as a teaching tool to improve students' four skills: listening, reading, speaking, and writing.

“A CONCISE OUTLINE OF THE 5-POINTER ANTOA COUNTDOWN” BY RALF G WILL = RGW23C
Authors: Will Ralf G
Published: May 2023

Aim of this article is a concise overview of ANTOA from Point 1 to 5. It is also a comprehensive selection of comments and annotations to the various benchmarks that form an unusual perimeter, encircling the social context of creative expression.

While Point 1 looks for individual footprint and intrinsic character, Point 2 deals with environmental concern and how Art builds social relations viceversa becomes tool for conscientising communal dissent.

Point 3 explains the old-meets-new condition whereby relevant Art supports sensible skill upheaval and innovative presentation. Trendy convention changes to refreshing renewal of mindful invention.Point 4 is pure nature, the abstraction of once relevant and definite objects, impressing edgy sentiments on keen consumers and practitioners alike. Often misunderstood as child play, the abstraction needs to have a beginning and an end, and may not contain meaning. Even though it satisfies curiosity and owns an excessively provocative price tag. Point 5 illustrates value, meaning and symbol, and returns to memory and experience as creators of history.The social construction of Art calls for meaning and value and tightens the net of inter-human relations, no matter in the stone age or the controversial period termed modernity or contemporary Art. Meaning has indeed come from social acceptance of the creative flow, the free spirit that paradoxically works best in scientific way, endowing Art with a certain dialect of symbolic language. Weaving individual relations into a social fabric of communal meaning.

Published: May 2023

Objective: To investigate the scientific collection on the cases of Arachnoid Cysts (ACs) portrayed in the literature in which surgical intervention was necessary, which approaches were used and their success. Methodology: This is an integrative literature review carried out in the Virtual Health Library (VHL), in the Latin American and Caribbean Literature in Health Sciences (LILACS) databases and the Online System for Searching and Analyzing Medical Literature (MEDLINE), with the descriptors: “Arachnoid Cyst” AND “Surgery” and filters: full text, languages: Portuguese and English, in the time frame of the last 10 years (2013-2022). Results and discussion: Of the 32 articles found, 10 were excluded due to thematic leakage, unavailability in full or due to duplication, totaling a final corpus of 10 studies. Final Considerations: There was convergence on the need for surgical intervention only in symptomatic cases and its high resolution. However, there is a divergence regarding the best surgical method, taking into account the specificities of each case.

Published: May 2023

This work presents a programming logic developed within a code written in Python language, guiding engineering teaching. Where with this logic it is possible to command a test bench for a vehicle speed measurement system. This command is made through the amount of rotation of a stepper motor based on frequency values. In addition, the programming logic can be applied to other devices or equipment that contain stepper motors, in order to promote its command through its amount of rotation and acceleration.
Participatory democracy and Community police: social network as an expression of social capital
Authors: Pizzio Alex , Oliveira Alves Erisvaldo , Lira de Carvalho Philipe
Published: May 2023

The objective of this work is to contribute to the debate on participatory democracy and the construction of public policies. It focuses on the institution of Community Police in the municipality of Palmas - TO and uses the theories of social capital as a theoretical analytical basis. This is a qualitative exploratory research that relied on documentary and bibliographic research and interviews with institutional stakeholders. In the data treatment it was used the content analysis supported by the MAXQDA Software. The results indicate: 1) a mismatch between the normative legal framework that establishes community policing as a participatory public policy and a corporate ethos that guides their actions. 2) The importance of the police officer in establishing bridges between the public security institution and the citizens of local communities is highlighted. 3) It is concluded that if there is no diffusion of social capital embedded in broad social relations that enable the formation of collaborative networks, public policy tends not to be effective.

Published: May 2023

The aims of the present study were to investigate the occurrence of intramammary infections in primiparous heifers treated and not with antibiotics in the prepartum, postpartum and subsequent lactation periods and to verify the occurrence of antibiotic residues in the milk released for consumption. A total of 188 mammary glands from 47 Black and White Holstein and crossbred heifers belonging to two experimental dairy farms located in the state of São Paulo, Brazil, were evaluated. Animals were randomly distributed into four groups, treated and untreated (control). In the prepartum period, mammary gland secretion samples were collected from all mammary quarters for microbiological examinations. Then, animals in the treated group received intramammary infusion with antibiotics. Milk samples were collected immediately after calving, ten days after and monthly throughout lactation for microbiological assays, milk composition determination, somatic cell count and investigation of antimicrobial residues using Delvotest®SP. It was observed that about 20% of animals already had intramammary infections sixty days before calving, and around 40% at calving. The dry cow therapy had no significant effect on controlling infections. Staphylococcus spp. was the main isolated bacterial genus. Antimicrobial residues were detected in 5.43% of milk samples from treated heifers. The dry cow therapy should be administered in primiparous heifers at the prepartum period with caution and accompanied by a veterinarian.
Design for friction. An inquiry to position friction as a method for reflection in design interventions.
Authors: Benedetti Andrea , Mauri Michele
Published: May 2023

To solve emerging problems, design uses new technologies to introduce “technofixes” (Hankey & Tuszynski, 2017) that are created to improve society in various capacities. The dissolution of technology, described as “ubiquitous computing”, brings with its pervasiveness a series of consequences to the constant production of personal data online (Greene, 2019; Manovich, 2012) that tech companies have now access to. Such data created new relationships between users, tech companies and their affiliates that are far from being settled, where scandals such as Cambridge Analytica provided visibility to the issue. The lack of awareness in this system, and the efforts in designing smooth and efficient experiences at the expense of clarity, raised questions in the public and legislators. The article explores, through literature review, if non-efficiency in design could be a viable way to make users reflect when using design products. As the antithesis to efficiency, we propose the term “friction”, a lens through which existing definitions of friction in design will be analyzed, introducing the concepts of “diegetic friction” and “extra-diegetic friction” as a possible taxonomy of design interventions.

Overview of Psychological Distress among Female Workers at PT. Jatisari Tobacco Raya, Jember, Indonesia
Authors: Astika Devi , Kurniawati Dini , Rahmawati Iis , Sulistyorini Lantin
Published: May 2023

In the past decade, women were found working in tobacco factories. Stress that occurs in the workplace results from emotional and physical reactions due to the failure of individuals to adapt to a work environment where there is a mismatch between expectations and reality. This study aimed to identify the psychological distress among female tobacco workers. The research design used in this research is descriptive research. The of respondents required in this study is 91 respondents. Sampling was done by using a random sampling method. The data collection tool used in this study was the Depression Anxiety Stress Scale (DASS) questionnaire. The results showed that most of the respondents never experienced stress. Some respondents often experience stress with symptoms of overreaction to a situation, and some respondents experience stress all the time with symptoms of not feeling positive and experiencing shaking or tremors in their hands. Respondents who often experience anxiety feel symptoms of panic and worthlessness, and respondents who experience severe anxiety at any time feel symptoms of changes in heart rate even though they do not do physical activity (feel their heart rate increases). Lack of training and low education cause job stress for workers. Lack of placement scenarios not by the workers' abilities will make them less confident and experience difficulties dealing with situations that can cause anxiety. Women working in tobacco factories must handle the stress for their mental and physical health.
LEGAL MAXIMS OF PUBLIC FINANCE: A HISTORICAL AND COMPARATIVE PERSPECTIVE
Authors: Abdullah Zawawi Nur Hana Izzati , Akbar Dr. Mohamed Aslam
Published: May 2023

In pursuit of curating the optimal version of a public finance system, governments often rely on a set of maxims that act as a guideline on how they should execute the elements of public finance. In Islamic economics, legal maxims (al-qawa’id al-fiqhiyyah) are very present in public finance as the Islamic legality of government actions must be taken into consideration before any execution. Muslim scholars often propose and create new economic maxims or principles attached to their new economic systems but generally hold the same principles, purposes, and especially sources of Shari’ah in curating the maxims. This is distinct from western maxims as no dogmatic or religious text bind them. Thus, allowing western maxims to be premised on their society’s principles. In the modern context, these two differing systems have been unable to reconcile leading to the inability to practice both western and Islamic systems harmoniously. This paper seeks to propose an integrated approach to both systems through contrasting the maxims of both and identifying the harmonizing elements between the two. Reviewing the prominent ideologies and maxims that have been historically used under these two contexts, i.e., Abu Yusuf, Abu Ubayd, and Adam Smith, David Hume, the work dissects the maxims by discussing the primary sources of these maxims, what they intend to achieve, and how this translates to the systems of public finance suggested by the scholars of both worlds. With the analysis of these maxims, the study expects to trace the beginning of where a public finance system comes from, which translates to applications such as the role of the state, the revenue collections system, and the allocation of these funds. The research concludes with a proposal of an integrated system that leans on the overlapping maxims held by the two public finance systems – a system that assumes a secular government which applies a public finance system that prioritizes public welfare.
COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF BUSINESS ZAKAT COMPUTATION OF ISLAMIC FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS IN MALAYSIA AND SAUDI ARABIA
Authors: Tajuddin Teh Suhaila
Published: May 2023

There has been an increasing need for principle-based financial reporting standards of Islamic Financial Institutions (IFIs) including business zakat reporting. In meeting the requirement of the shariah governance framework, business zakat computation is one of the aspects that must be disclosed and presented by IFIs on the face of their financial statements. The disclosure is vital in further promoting transparency and continuous development of IFIs within the tax and zakat environment. The objective of this study is to identify to what extent of business zakat computation among IFIs are in compliance with reporting requirements and rules in Malaysia and Saudi Arabia. In the light of the Malaysian regulatory and legal framework, a new policy document on Financial Reporting for Islamic Banking Institutions has been issued by Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) in 2019.  The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) General Authority of Zakat and Tax (GAZT) has published the rules for computing zakat by IFIs also in 2019. A qualitative research approach is adopted in this study by analyzing the annual reports for the financial year ended 2020 of four public listed IBIs in Malaysia and four public listed IBIs in Saudi Arabia. Content analysis procedure was conducted to identify the zakat expenses recognition, measurement for assets and liabilities for zakat, presentation and disclosure of zakat on business. The outcomes of this study highlight the similarities, differences and current state of business zakat computation of the IBIs in Malaysia and Saudi Arabia. Since Saudi Arabia has released the new zakat by-law in 2019, having a priori knowledge of this function will be helpful in assisting Malaysian IFIs towards promoting best practices and highest efficiency. Besides that, business zakat reporting would be able to provide a comparable and reliable financial information of IFIs.

Readiness of Hospitals in Disasters Management: Review of Vulnerability Factors
Authors: Zantzos Ιοannis , Kalogeropoulos Athanasios
Published: May 2023

Hospitals suffer just the same by certain disasters, thus entering a “victim” state. The disruption of their smooth operation may be due to a serious event of either internal (e.g. fire) or external origin (e.g. earth- quake). This paper aims to identify the vulnerability fac- tors of hospitals in the event of disasters that could make the hospital a victim. Following a bibliographic search (PubMed), 31 papers were used as study material. Findings show that electricity, water and communications are major vulner- abilities with significant secondary effects, while gener- ators (more precisely their failure) are the Achilles heel of hospitals. Microbiology, radiology, pharmacy, dialy- sis, surgery, sterilization, feeding and nutrition depart- ments along with centralized management are the most common departments that prove to be vulnerable. Observed malfunctions, especially in electricity, commu- nications and water supply cause secondary “side effects” that eventually turn into care problems and in many cases may lead to evacuation. Taking into account the time needed to address these failures, it stands to reason that the impact on care is long-lasting. Con- structing hospitals in accordance with strict building regulations, preventing problems in generators, water supply and communications, solving co-ordination and co-operation problems, improving disaster plans and offering practical training is effective fields of action. Further research is required both on the impact of dis- asters on hospitals and on solving the identified prob- lems. Experiences from researchers can help minimize hospital failures and protect society.

Authors: Andreou Kyriacos , Ioannou Phivos , Charalambous George
Published: May 2023

Introduction: Medical tourism constitutes a new, fast- growing form of tourism and sector in the services indus- try. The health tourism “industry” is a parameter of vital importance encouraging individuals to seek healthcare services on an international level. Its annual growth rate in the global market is estimated at 25-35%. Aim-Objective: To investigate how Medical tourism can contribute significantly to the overall development of Cyprus, in the context of a general financial crisis, where new resources are constantly on demand, and to explore its prospects for growth. Material-Methodology: The Delphi method, which is suitable for establishing a convergence in participants’ judgements or opinions, was used. It involves two research phases and a series of questionnaires, includ- ing multiple rounds. Twenty-two experts from the health and tourism sectors were selected based on their knowledge and experience. Qualitative criteria involv- ing semi-structured interviews were used for the statis- tical analysis of the data, while quantitative criteria were employed to analyse the participants’ responses using the statistical analysis software package SPSS. Percentages, mean values, and standard deviations were calculated. Results: Ninety-six per-cent of respondents converge that this sector should be further developed through comprehensive planning. A hundred per-cent of respon- dents believe that all relevant stakeholders—who are called upon to participate as coordinators—should col- laborate so as to develop marketing strategies, achieve the accreditation of hospitals and improve the quality of the local health services. Conclusion: Important benefits resulting in the strengthening of the local economy are revealed. Further, the need for the development of an upgraded product at a competitive cost, the establishment of parameters concerning the accreditation of the quality of hospitals, as well as the exploitation of the health- care services currently on offer.

Debt market transactions in the Islamic financial system:the case of sukuk

ABSTRACT: In recent years, the secondary market for sukuk has been booming with growth rates ranging between 10-12%. In this paper we intend to analyze the structure of investment certificates that comply with the rules and economic principles of the Shari'ah. The markedly legal aspects of this instrument are therefore highlighted, first outlining the general structuring of Islamic certificates, and secondly, analyzing the operational profiles of the different types of sukuk most widespread on the Shari'ah compliant market. Finally, the guidelines issued by the Accounting and Auditing Organization for Islamic Financial Institutions on the subject are examined and the essential features of difference between the sukuk and conventional bonds are analyzed from a comparative point of view. The finale highlights the unexpressed potential of sukuk, recalling the best strategies for expanding Islamic investments. The primary objective is to raise the awareness of the relevant financial authorities, which appear disinterested in the Islamic financial market despite the resilience of this segment even during the Covid-19 pandemic.

Digital garments are tailored computationally and dressed virtually. Intended to be displayed rather than worn, digital fashion exemplifies the function of aesthetic commodities as defined by Gernot Böhme: the production of atmospheres – intangible qualities arising from a material encounter – towards the staging of life. Yet, made from pixels instead of fabric, virtual garments beckon a new conceptual framework for the role of materiality in atmospheric productions. Drawing from new media and affect scholars, this essay traces the display of digital garments across three sites: the e-commerce website, social media, and the runway show. By analyzing the visual and literary production surrounding digital fashion, this essay proposes“elemental surface” as a representational technique and rhetorical strategy through which digital garments produce and intensify the body’s affective presence. Situating Böhme’s formulation of atmosphere in dialogue with the notion of“aura” put forth by Walter Benjamin, the study of digital fashion foregrounds the role of environmental perception in the history of haptic technology.

With the continuous improvement of people's economic level and the maturity of consumption concepts, natural cosmeceuticals (with therapeutic effects) have received more and more attention, which has prompted the innovative development of the cosmeceuticals industry. Natural ingredients derived from plants and the marine have attracted the attention of scientists for their sustainability and less skin irritation. These ingredients, along with low skin penetration and instability, influence formulation development. Nanotechnology is used to help improve the shortcomings of natural ingredients such as instability in formulations. However, the toxicity of nanotechnology and regulatory gaps have also raised concerns and potential concerns among consumers. This paper provides an overview of potential active ingredients in botanical and marine cosmeceuticals and how they can improve formulation innovation under the action of different nano delivery systems. Relevant literature from pub med, web of science, and other websites are studied to corroborate the most recent trends in the development of cosmeceuticals and the most recent advancements in industry regulation. As a result, a key area of research for scientists continues to be how to enhance formulations while creating natural nano-cosmeceuticals to allay consumers' worries about toxicity.

Authors: Tang Juan
Published: May 2023

Atopic dermatitis is a chronic inflammatory skin disease with a complex pathogenesis relating to immunology, genetic inheritance, and environmental conditions. Various treatments are applied to relieve the symptoms of AD. One of the most common types of medication applied is topical treatments. The review examines the mechanisms of action and pathways for topical corticosteroids, non-steroid topical calcineurin inhibitors, and phosphodiesterase 4 inhibitors based on a wide range of research and studies targeting AD. The three treatment strategies are compared under different disease conditions. The review suggests that to maximize the effectiveness and minimize side effects, the application of each type of medication should be carefully considered depending on the severity of AD conditions and the individual's physical condition.

Advances in Pathogenesis and Treatment of Parkinsons Disease Based on Abnormal Accumulation of Alpha-Synuclein
Authors: Van Kelly
Published: May 2023

Parkinsons disease (PD) is an age-related neurodegenerative disease in which dopamine neu-rons in the substantia nigra of the brain gradually die over time. PD mainly manifests as rest-ing tremor, bradykinesia, stiffness, and ultimately the inability to control motor function and cause severe disability. It has now been shown that neuronal Lewy bodies (LBs) and the intra-synaptic aggregation of Synuclein (Syn) are hallmarks of brain lesions in PD, and Lewy body lesions have been found to be present in the peripheral nervous system in PD. Interfer-ing with LBs formation has become a new hot topic in Parkinson's disease treatment. The formation of LBs has been linked to the transport of Syn in brain cells and the blood-brain barrier. Nonetheless, treatment options still produce little effect. According to past investiga-tions, this paper addresses the question of advances in pathogenesis and treatment of Parkin-sons disease using literature review as an investigation method. It introduces the pathogene-sis and the latest treatment strategies of PD based on the aspect of abnormal accumulation of Syn, which can provide a theoretical basis for subsequent treatment of PD.
Targeting Gut Microbiota in Cancer Therapy
Authors: Yang Nuoya
Published: May 2023

Our knowledge of the complex interactions between the gut microbiome and the numerous mechanisms by which they affect health and illness has greatly increased. Recent evidence suggests the composition of the gut microbiota can alter the effectiveness of both cancer radiation and immunotherapies. However, existing microbiota-based modification techniques including fecal microbiota transplantation, antibiotics, prebiotics, probiotics, and postbiotics are insufficient due to the wide variety and fluidity of the microbiota. With the advancement of next-generation sequencing and CRISPR techniques, future research will be able to accurately identify favorable and non-favorable microbial targets that can improve immunotherapy efficacy and expand the use of microbiota precision medicine.

Published: May 2023

Depression is a worldwide disease which has a great impact on peoples mental health and social functioning. Finding the factor causing depression is the precondition of treatment. This area has been investigated by enormous researchers. This paper reviews the researches about depression, including the effect of depression on brain, the relationship between tryptophan hydroxylase 2 (TPH2) and depression and treatment. These references indicate that depression can affect the structure of brain, including synaptic plasticity and hippocampal volumetric changes and so on. Mutated TPH2 is a major reason of depression. This mutation will inhibit the expression of TPH2 and affect the produce of serotonin. Moreover, researchers are able to use mice to do experiments on TPH2, because TPH2 is conserved between human and mice. Medication can be used to treat depression and its the main way to treat it. Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats (CRISPR) can also be used to treat it, but now it has some technical problems in treating human and also have some ethical problem because it will change patients gene.

Authors: Peng Xi
Published: May 2023

Since the first case of monkeypox was reported in the UK in early May 2022, by mid-July, more than 60 countries around the world had reported more than 10,000 confirmed cases of monkeypox, with deaths occurring in countries in non-endemic areas. Monkeypox is caused by monkeypox virus, the same orthopoxvirus as smallpox virus. It is necessary to review the history of the human fight against smallpox virus and to develop measures against monkeypox virus. The eradication of smallpox might make the public feel like the orthodox virus should not be a danger to humans anymore. However, the continually increasing number of confirmed monkeypox cases is telling us that people should always be aware of those potential threats. The clinical manifestations of monkeypox cases are mild, but there is still a lack of specific treatment options. Therefore, the essential information and basic diagnosis methods are gathered in this article for people to know about monkeypox and prepare well to combat and control the spreading of monkeypox.
