Published: May 2023

Introduction: The ANC plays an important role in monitoring the health status of the fetus but also in the monitoring of the mother, by allowing the tracking of several conditions. It makes it possible to retain the woman with the health structure, thus promoting childbirth in ideal conditions. The objective of this study was to identify the determinants of ANC in the Kolda and Sédhiou regions.

Method: It was a descriptive and analytical cross-sectional survey. The study focused on women who gave birth between February 2013 and January 2014. Sampling was two-stage random. The data collected during an individual interview focused on the socio-demographic characteristics, knowledge and practices of the women surveyed. The data was analyzed using the R software.

Results: A total of 1216 women were surveyed. The results of the study show that 62.3% had no level of education, 48% had no IGA, 57.6% were within 5 km of a health facility and 44.1% were multiparous. Participation in awareness-raising activities involved 53% of women. The percentage of women who had completed their ANC was 24% while 34% had completed ANC1 on time. The results of the multivariate analysis showed that timely ANC1 practice was related to proximity to the health facility (1.7 [1.31-2.2)], simple multiparity (1.46 [1.14-1.89]) and participation in the awareness programme (1.4 [1.08-1.81]). Completion of all ANCs was associated with schooling (79 [1.34-2.39]), knowledge of the number and importance of ANC and the fact that the woman lived within 15 minutes of the structure (1.52 [1.14-2.04]).

Conclusion: The results of the study show that the useof reproductive health services for ANC was linked to environmental, economic, cultural and structural factors. Improving the accessibility of these services requires joint actions by the government, NGOs, community actors and the involvement of the population.
Semaglutide-induced Subclinical Hypothyroidism: A Case Report
Authors: Mazokopakis Elias E.
Published: May 2023

Introduction/Background: Drug-induced hypothyroidism is well established in the literature. I describe the first case of symptomatic subclinical hypothyroidism (SCH) in a thyroidectomy woman with diabetes mellitus 2 receiving therapy with per os levothyroxine and sc semaglutide (Ozempic).

Case Presentation: A 37-year-old overweight and thyroidectomy woman with diabetes mellitus 2 was admitted to our hospital with complaints of increasing fatigue, weakness and shortness of breath. She received levothyroxine (150 μcg per day), sc semaglutide (1 mg per week the last six months), and rosuvastatin (20 mg per day). A detailed clinical examination and laboratory tests revealed, among others, an elevated TSH serum level (92-98 mIU/L) with normal serum FT3 and FT4 levels on first and next measurements. Based on the possible diagnosis of semaglutide-induced SCH, semaglutide was withdrawn. Thyroid dysfunction was restored (serum TSH: 1.8 mIU/L) after two months with a significant improvement in symptoms.

Conclusion: An influence of sc semaglutide on thyroid function is possible. Thyroid function tests are suggested in patients receiving both per os levothyroxine and sc semaglutide.

Published: May 2023

The haematological attributes during pregnancy assumed new importance when it was realised that pregnancy is a form of physiological stress and hormones appear to be involved in the process of pregnancy and parturition. Hence, an experiment aimed at assessing and determining the haematological, biochemical and hormonal profile during pregnancy was conducted for five (5) months using twelve (12) artificially inseminated female West African Dwarf goats aged 2 – 4 years with live weights ranging from 15 to 26 kg. Does were raised semi‑intensively throughout the duration of the experiment. Blood was collected once a month for haematological, biochemical and hormonal analysis. Data obtained were analysed by the method of least squares analysis of variance (SAS, 2003) using a general linear model appropriate for a completely randomised design. The gestation period had a highly significant (p < 0.001) effect on red blood cell (RBC) and white blood cell (WBC) counts. Cholesterol and glucose were significantly (p < 0.001) affected by the gestation period, similar to the cortisol and progesterone profile (p < 0.001).

It can be concluded from this study that RBC counts were highest in the 4th week, WBC counts in the 8th week, cholesterol in the 12th week, glucose in the 8th week, progesterone and cortisol concentrations in the 20th week of gestation, respectively, in the West African Dwarf goats which reflect the physiological demands of pregnancy, foetal growth, and development. These changes can be used as a tool for monitoring foetal health and proper handling of pregnant does.

Authors: Pistol Gina Cecilia , Marin Daniela Eliza , Bulgaru Valeria Cristina , Taranu Ionelia
Published: May 2023

The post-weaning period is very stressful for piglets, leading to a transitory inflammation, alterations in the intestinal barrier, oxidative stress and a higher susceptibility to intestinal diseases with economic losses. The finding of new nutritional alternatives with anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial, anti-oxidant properties is a challenge in post-weaning piglet’s nutrition. Of these strategies, those based on agro-industry wastes rich in bioactive compounds are promising, the increasing number of studies focusing on the use of these wastes as successful modulators of post-weaning – associated disturbances in piglets. This review describes the role of grape by-products in the modulation of inflammation, reinforcement of the intestinal barrier and their role as antioxidant factors. Also, their in-depth intracellular mechanisms of action related to their anti-inflammatory, antioxidant properties are described.
Free will, moral responsibility and automatisms
Authors: Špirková Sára
Published: May 2023

Some determinist approaches to free will opine that the human brain is subordinate to physical laws not fully under our control. This results in a weakening of the concept of the personal autonomy and moral responsibility of humans. Were we to acknowledge this assumption, we might consider automatic machines unable to influence the thoughts and intentions from which our actions take root. The key issue lies in the fact that an individual does not consciously engage in particular actions (automatisms), which challenges the concept of free will in an individual’s complex behaviour. Despite this issue, not all automatisms that lack conscious will can be viewed as lacking free will. The paper examines whether classical philosophical concepts may weaken the strict determinist approach, which seeks to deny that individuals have free will due to the existence of automatic actions.
War and peace as consequences of human nature?
Authors: Švaňa Lukáš
Published: May 2023

The issue of human nature is very complex and elusive, and mankind has been trying to unveil its elements since the beginnings of any philosophical reasoning. Whether they were questions of ontology, gnoseology, or ethics, it has been an uneasy task to uncover the complexity of the term. This article concentrates on finding ideas that support the existence of human nature and consequently searches for its possible ethical implications. I focused on the traditional issues of good vs evil, especially in terms of dichotomy between committing violent acts and waging wars in contradiction to creation of conditions for peaceful and just societies. In the article, I compare various ideas on human nature and analyse their potential in unveiling its ethical implications. I also comment on the possibility of war and peace being consequences of human nature and its connection to our disposition of being moral subjects.

Published: May 2023

Case studies are used to reflect on the treatment of patients with dementia hospitalized at the Geriatric Department of the Faculty hospital in Prešov, emphasizing human dignity in clinical practice. The discussion is focused on the palliative care of patients with severe dementia. The biomedical method, which respects human dignity is defined by means of inductive, deductive, and normative bioethical methods. They make it possible to provide guidelines for palliative care and individualized prognosis strategy. An analysis of health status of individuals with severe dementia enables us to offer a clinical definition of purposeful treatment based on normative justice and decision-making that reflects the patient’s best interest, thus respecting their dignity. An evaluation of a patient’s care is based on a biomedical method that considers the dementia stage. Applying a bioethical model in a holistic context preconditions the human rights of patients with dementia.

Published: May 2023

Leadership styles have been the most important factor for HEI’s agility. Studies on educational leadership have grown significantly, but there are insufficient studies on faculty attitudes towards leadership. The purpose of this study is to explore in-depth knowledge and understandings of latent internal and external environmental factors that influence faculty attitudes towards ideal leadership. Data were collected from 1065 teaching and non-teaching staff working at the Mongolian University of Science and Technology, most prestigious and largest science and engineering university in Mongolia. This research analyzed the data using thematic analysis. The result of thematic analysis suggests that HEI’s environment in Mongolia tends to be bureaucratic, highly politically motivated, and dysfunctional that create multiple barriers to running higher education institutes in market-oriented ways and hindering university agility to the changes in market and society. It is also evident that university employees dislike the current leadership and seem to have strong commitments to accept participative, transformational, and servant leaderships. This study contributes to the educational leadership literature by providing better understandings of the critical factors affecting faculty perceptions about the existing leadership and their attitudes towards ideal leadership.

After the completion of the process of industrialization in the world, a large number of electrified equipment appeared, People's Daily life is also more and more dependent on electricity security, electricity consumption has risen sharply. At present, various lights driven by electricity play a crucial role in our daily life, which is also the main cause of electricity consumption. We often notice that even when the room is empty, or during the day, the lights are still on, which is a waste of electricity. The waste of power resources caused by traditional lighting equipment cannot be ignored. Therefore, intelligent home furnishing equipment is the favored object of people. So here for a kind of indoor lighting control system is designed, in order to meet the lighting needs on the basis of more humane, more importantly, can save power resources. With the rapid application of automation in daily life and the continuous development of computer technology, lighting control has become increasingly intelligent and automated. The control function of the system is realized by the STM32F103 chip, the illumination is automatically detected by the BH1750 module, and the time parameters are recorded and fed back by the DS3231 clock module. The infrared reflection sensor is used to detect whether there are people in the room. When there is no one, the light will be automatically turned off to save energy. If there are people, when the ambient light intensity is lower than the set value, the light will be automatically turned on to ensure the comfort of the ambient brightness. And can use OLED module real-time display indoor light intensity, number of people and working time. This indoor lighting control system can not only automatically turn on the light according to the environment, but also detect whether there is a human body in the current environment and turn on or off the light by itself, which has more practical significance.
Style Transfer Based on VGG Network

Published: May 2023

With the rapid development of computer computing power, as an important method in the field of artificial intelligence, deep learning has amazing learning ability, especially in dealing with massive data, which makes deep learning in the fields of image recognition, image classification, natural language processing, data mining and unmanned driving, Has shown an extraordinary role. In previous studies, the style transfer algorithm has not developed well due to the poor computing power of Computer, the basic configuration of computer hardware can not meet the minimum requirements and the poor image effect after migration. However, with the development of computer hardware and the rapid change of GPU computing power, the style transfer network based on deep learning has become a hot issue in the study of style transfer in recent years. According to the research, although the traditional style transfer method can obtain the texture, color and other information of the style image, the model needs to be learned every time a new target image is generated, and the time cost during this period is very high. In this way, the trained model is not repeatable, and the generated image is often very random and can not get good results. Therefore, the emergence of style transfer methods based on deep learning solves the limitations of traditional style transfer methods. Style transfer methods based on deep learning are faster than traditional style transfer methods, and the generalization of the model is better. The style transfer algorithms of main neural networks are divided into two categories, Slow style transfer based on image iteration and fast style transfer based on model iteration. VGG network model can combine style image and content image, and greatly improve the style transfer efficiency of image.
A Decision Support System for Simulating and Predicting the Impacts of Various Tournament Structures on Tournament Outcomes
Authors: Khalid Ruzelan , Yusof Muhammad Mat , Rosli Nurzahidah Che , Nawawi Mohd Kamal Mohd
Published: May 2023

Simulating and predicting tournament outcomes has become an increasingly popular research topic. The outcomes can be influenced by several factors, such as attack, defence and home advantage strength values, as well as tournament structures. However, the claim that different structures, such as knockout (KO), round-robin (RR) and hybrid structures, have their own time restraints and requirements has limited the evaluation of the best structure for a particular type of sports tournament using quantitative approaches. To address this issue, this study develops a decision support system (DSS) using Microsoft Visual Basic, based on the object-oriented programming approach, to simulate and forecast the impact of the various tournament structures on soccer tournament outcomes. The DSS utilized the attack, defence and home advantage values of the teams involved in the Malaysia Super League 2018 to make better prediction. The rankings produced by the DSS were then compared to the actual rankings using Spearman correlation to reveal the simulated accuracy level. The results indicate that a double RR produces a higher correlation value than a single RR, indicating that more matches played provide more data to create better predictions. Additionally, a random KO predicts better than a ranking KO, suggesting that pre-ranking teams before a tournament starts does not significantly impact the prediction. The findings of this study can help tournament organizers plan forthcoming games by simulating various tournament structures to determine the most suitable one for their needs.
The third pandemic: The respiratory syncytial virus landscape and specific considerations for the allergist/immunologist
Authors: Frenkel Lawrence D. , Gaur Sunanda , Bellanti Joseph A.
Published: May 2023

Background: Since its initial identification in 1956, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) has been the second most common cause of mortality in infants <6 months of age and a major cause of morbidity and mortality associated with lower respiratory tract infection (LRTI)
in older adults (ages >60 years) worldwide. Of particular interest to the allergist/immunologist is a growing body of evidence that suggests an association between LRTI caused by RSV in infants with later-life development of asthma, wheezing, or impaired lung function in adults. Efforts
to develop a RSV vaccine have been thwarted for >70 years by the occurrence of enhanced respiratory disease (ERD), an adverse RSV vaccine reaction, in the 1960s, in which more-severe illness occurred on natural infection after vaccination of infants who were RSV naive and with a formalin-inactivated
RSV vaccine. Recent advances in knowledge of the structural biology of the RSV surface fusion glycoprotein, however, have revolutionized RSV vaccine development for preventive interventions and have offered, at last, the hope of an effective and safe vaccine for the prevention of RSV disease.
Objective: The purpose of this report was to examine the current evidence that supports the epidemiology, disease manifestations, molecular biology, treatments, and new vaccine development of RSV vaccines. Results: The host-immune response to RSV infection
is carried out by two distinct but overlapping universes of mucosal and systemic immune systems in which a balanced set of B- and T-cell responses are involved in protective immunity that includes the mucosal immune system in which immunoglobulin A (IgA) prevails and the systemic immune system
in which IgG neutralizing antibody predominates. The key to developing an effective vaccine is now thought to be linked to the availability of a stabilized prefusion F protein in the immunizing vaccine, which can perform a dual function of a balanced mucosal and/or systemic immune response
as well as an effective antibody specifically directed to critical epitopes on the requisite prefusion F protein. Conclusion: The unfortunate manifestation of RSV ERD that occurred in the 1960s has led to a better understanding of the structural biology of the RSV surface
fusion glycoprotein and has provided a basis for the development of more effective and safer RSV vaccines and monoclonal antibody preparations for immunoprophylaxis of the dread effects of RSV disease. There are now a large number of clinical trials in progress that are evaluating these products,
which include recombinant vector, subunit, particle-based, live-attenuated, chimeric, and nucleic acid vaccines; and monoclonal antibodies. This article gives an overview of the many aspects of RSV disease and development of virus (RSV) vaccines of particular interest to the allergist/immunologist.

This study uses the gravity method to assess the characteristics of the Manna segment fault, a part of the Sumatran fault. This research aims to contribute to the existing knowledge by providing additional insights into the fault's characteristics, which is essential for future disaster mitigation efforts. The Manna segment fault is geographically situated between coordinates 4.4⁰S - 3.9⁰ S and 102.7⁰ E – 103.2⁰ E, making this area prone to earthquake hazards. The gravity anomaly data, including free air and topography, were collected from 62,501 data points. The Simple Bouguer Anomaly (SBA) values obtained ranged from 25 mGal to 95 mGal. By utilizing the Second Vertical Derivative (SVD) method and dividing the study area into three regions with multiple sections, the analysis revealed that the minimum and maximum SVD values were relatively similar. This suggests that the Manna fault can be classified as a strike-slip fault, with SVD values ranging from Elkins-20 mGal to 6 mGal. The study identified branches of the main fault in regions 2 and 3 based on the SVD map. Overall, this study enhances our understanding of the Manna segment fault, providing valuable insights into its characteristics and contributing to future disaster mitigation efforts.

O abandono do tratamento de tuberculose é uma questão relevante e preocupante na saúde pública mundial. Mediante uma revisão integrativa, esse estudo busca identificar os possíveis fatores que levam ao abandono do tratamento. Foi realizada pesquisa em estudos indexados nas bases de dados: Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde (BVS) e Scientific Eletronic Library Online (SciELO), no período de 2017 a 2021, utilizando-se os seguintes descritores (DeCS): tuberculose, agente antituberculose e tuberculose pulmonar. Ao fim, foram selecionados onze estudos, publicados nos idiomas português, espanhol e inglês. Os resultados mostraram que o abandono está relacionado a fatores de diversas esferas, com destaque para as esferas social, da saúde e a do próprio tratamento. Como perfil das pessoas dos casos de abandono, em geral, observou-se que elas são economicamente ativas, com faixa etária entre 15 e 49 anos, possuem baixa escolaridade, baixa renda e é comum que os usos abusivos de álcool e drogas sejam apresentados como comorbidades relevantes. Portanto, o trabalho evidenciou os principais fatores associados ao abandono do tratamento de tuberculose e a importância da participação de diferentes atores como forças que somarão para diminuir a ocorrência do problema em questão.

or quality control, raw material, semi-finished, and finished product analysis in chemistry, biochemistry, food, and environmental sciences, well-designed experimental strategies are needed to perform all experimental studies at minimum cost and under optimum conditions. The steps in the experimental strategies essentially constitute the experimental procedure followed, and here the aim is to select a model for the experimental procedure, to determine the number of experiments and experimental factor limitations for each run, to identify the correlation between experimental results and factors, and to optimise the experimental factors. The response surface methodology as an experimental design method also reduces the number of experiments required for multi-factor trials for optimisation. Mixture design, a special type of response surface function, is a very effective method for determining the proportions of components or variables in a mixture. A three-component mixture is represented by a triangle, which is a two-dimensional cross-section of a three-dimensional space represented by a cube representing the region where the proportions of the three components are added up to 100%. The points within this triangle or blend area represent possible blends, where: three corners correspond to single components, points along the edges to binary mixtures, the dots in the triangle to triad mixtures, and the centre of the triangle to an equal mix of all three components. Several common designs can be considered as ways to determine the logical number and arrangement of points in a simplex, the most well-known being the Simplex Centroid and Simplex Lattice patterns. This study focused on an experimental design application for fourteen blends of olive oils from four cultivars A–D mixed in the design presented together with a taste panel score for each blend and statistical evaluation of the results for mixture design applications. The higher the score is the better the taste of the olive oil. Here, the mixture design chosen for optimising blending ratios was Simplex-Lattice, and DesignExpert 7.3 software was used for statistical analysis. Comparing of calculated correlation coefficients of the response surface function and its parameters, and function constants, it could be understood that as the correlation coefficient would be 0.21 for used linear terms only, adding quadratic terms into the function increases it to 0.92 drastically.

In mammals, lactation is the universal behavior of feeding offspring and has a fundamental nutritional and social value with offspring staying near their mothers. In order to obtain milk, terrestrial mammal offspring squeeze the breast of lactating females and suckle the nipples with their tongues. In the specific case of cetacean species, it was reported that lactating females intentionally eject milk from their mammary slit into the calves’ mouths. Nursing behavior in sperm whales has already been broadly described, but the results of our current study, based on 127 underwater videos, recording over 7 years and displaying explicit nursing behavior, bring a higher level of understanding. We first showed that sperm whale calves are proactive in getting milk. We were then able to illustrate and describe with a high level of precision their suckling behavior: firstly, the calf bumps its head onto the female’s genital area to signal the mother its willingness to suckle; secondly, the calf introduces its lower jawbone into the genital slit, this action makes the nipple pop up from its slit; thirdly, the calf squeezes the nipple with its tongue against the hard palate and suckles; fourthly, the calf removes its jawbone from the female and swims off. Moreover, our underwater visual observations provided the first direct evidence for allosuckling in sperm whales, a situation during which a calf obtains milk from an adult female who is not its mother.
