Published: April 2023

Introduction: Moyamoya disease (MMD) is a chronic cerebral hypoperfusion state with increased narrowing of the intracranial internal carotid artery. Objectives: The main objective of the study is to analyses the delta-like factor 1 negatively regulates angiogenesis as a target gene of miR-126-5p after indirect revascularization surgery in patients with moyamoya disease. Material and methods: This retrospective study was conducted in Akhtar Saeed Medical College Lahore during 2020 to 2021. First, we compared the DLK1 expression in DM tissues from patient with moyamoya disease (n = 8) and unruptured aneurysms (n = 8, control group). DM samples (1.0 × 0.5 cm) were collected from patients with moyamoya disease during revascularization procedures. DM samples were harvested from the temporal part of the head and stored for further use. Results: EPC markers CD31, VE-cadherin, and VEGFR-2 were strongly expressed in cultured cells, while hematopoietic marker CD133 did not display remarkable expression, suggesting highly purified EPC isolation. Practical implication: This study will be helpful in EC proliferation and angiogenesis. Conclusion: It is concluded that DLK1, a target gene of miR-126-5p, negatively regulates EC proliferation and angiogenesis and that downregulating DLK1 expression potentially promotes angiogenesis in chronically ischaemic brains.

METABOLIC SYNDROME AND THE AGING RETINA: A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW
Authors: Pramacitra Amanda
Published: April 2023

As we get older, we experience a progressive loss of visual function in our eyes. Changes in the structures of the ocular tissues, specifically the cornea, lens, retina, retinal pigment epithelium (RPE), choroid, and optic nerve, are the root cause of age-related macular degeneration, which leads to a loss of vision. Aging is linked to a wide variety of eye conditions, including Fuch's dystrophy, dry eye syndrome, cataracts, presbyopia, age-related macular degeneration (AMD), diabetic retinopathy, and glaucoma, amongst others. Vision can be impaired as a result of these conditions in between 4 and 20 percent of people over the age of 65. The term "metabolic syndrome" (MetS) refers to a cluster of cardiometabolic components, some of which include abdominal obesity, hypertension, elevated glucose levels, and dyslipidemia. These components are highly predictive of type 2 diabetes mellitus and cardiovascular diseases (CVD), which eventually cause morbidity and mortality. The retinal age difference has proven itself as an innovative and reliable screening technique for metabolic syndrome and inflammation. When compared to earlier screening methods that were based on blood tests or anthropometric measurements, the retinal age gap is calculated using a deep learning model that automatically integrates all of the information from fundus images. This reduces the likelihood of making an error during manual assessment and eliminates the requirement for invasive testing. We discovered that there was a strong association between MetS and age gaps in the retina, as well as inflammation.
MANAGEMENT IN CLEFT LIP AND PALATE SURGERY : A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW
Authors: Lasma Azaria Yohana
Published: April 2023

Cleft lip and palate, sometimes referred to as labioplatoschizis, is one of the most common types of congenital disorders found in Indonesian babies. A person is said to have cleft lip and cleft palate if they have a cleft in their upper lip as well as a cleft in the roof of their mouth, which results in a direct connection between their nostril and mouth. This condition is also known as cleft lip and palate syndrome. This disorder could be hereditary or it could be acquired. Both the cleft lip and the cleft palate can happen on their own (just the cleft lip or just the cleft palate), or they can happen simultaneously. (cleft lip and cleft palate). The embryological process of facial structure creation is integrally related to the pathophysiology of orofacial clefts, which can occur on the lip (labioschisis), palate (palatoschisis), or both. Orofacial clefts can be divided into three categories: labioschisis, palatoschisis, and both. (also known as labiopalatoschisis). Clefts of the lip or palate are a possibility. Cleft lips are caused by the failure of the maxillary bone to fuse with the bones of the palate and the nasal passageway. No matter what kind of tissue is involved, the technique for surgical removal is the same. The surgeon will work to restore the patient's normal anatomy and physiology and will also make an effort to rehabilitate their mental health. There is an increased likelihood of death or morbidity in those who have cleft lips, palates, or labiopalatoschisis. Syndromes associated with cleft palate are associated with an increased risk of death and morbidity. Morbidity is increased when there are complications.

Achieving Gender Equality and Empowering Women and Girls through Gender Responsive Budgeting in Ghana
Authors: Amoako Asiedu Emelia
Published: April 2023

Gender inequality extracts enormous economic and human development costs, shifting fiscal policy to close the gaps and gains across societies. Gender responsive budgeting (GRB) is one of the approaches used by governments, international organizations, and civil society groups to promote and influence gender equality. The United Nations Development Fund for Women (UNIFEM) highlights in its 2020 report, that budgets in most countries are gender biased in their conceptualization, formulation, and implementation. In most African countries, and Ghana is no exception, unpaid care and gender differences in roles and responsibilities in household and the workplace are not considered in policy formulation and implementation. This research intends to answer the following questions; how have MDAs complied with GRB? What are the outcomes of implementing GRB in Ghana and what have been the key challenges to effective implementation? Using the qualitative approach with secondary data obtained from documents in some ministries in the Ghanaian public sector, this research attempted to answer the following questions; how have Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) complied with gender responsive budgeting (GRB)? What are the outcomes of implementing GRB in Ghana and what have been the key challenges to effective implementation? It was observed that Ghana’s constitution supported a strong enabling environment, with an explicit commitment to gender equality and women’s empowerment. The budget through which important national issues are anchored made specific allocations to address issues of women and girls for the years between 2008 to 2020, in the medium-term expenditure framework. This study contributes to academic literature, specifically on the issue of gender equality in the workplace. This study’s results and findings could be used as the reference for other studies and further research on gender equality and women’s rights.

Authors: Prayitno Sentot Basuki
Published: April 2023

The willingness to adopt or utilize the PayLater facility as a tool to make cashless transactions as often as possible is still rare. Therefore, to fill this gap, this study tries to integrate the concepts of TRA and TAM to examine the factors that influence the desire of Indonesian consumers to adopt or use PayLater as their main facility (and choice) for purchasing various goods and transaction activities. All participants in this research are Indonesian consumers who have made at least five cashless payments using the PayLater feature as their primary method over the course of the past six months. The information is gathered using a Google Forms-based web survey. This study created a questionnaire and received a total of 178 completed questionnaires. After further review, it was determined that all the data could be used in this research. Purposive sampling was the non-probability sampling technique used in this study to ensure that every respondent met the requirements or specific criteria outlined in this research. Additionally, the data was processed using PLS by analyzing all the information gathered from all the respondents. It is discovered that the four factors—attitudes, subjective norms, perceived usefulness, and perceived ease of use—have a significant impact on determining or altering Indonesian consumers’ desire to use PayLater facilities to carry out payment activities for all types of transactions made by the consumer. By verifying the influence of attitude, subjective norm, perceived usefulness, and perceived ease of use on the desire to use PayLater—which most prior studies have rarely demonstrated—the study adds value to the body of literature on consumer behavior.
ECMI Minorities Blog. 50 Years of South Tyrolean Autonomy
Authors: Harrington Keith
Published: April 2023

This blog post examines how Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has impacted the Autonomous Territorial Unit of Gagauzia in southern Moldova. The author argues that the Moldovan government’s sharp condemnation of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and its move toward the European Union has caused tensions with the Gagauz minority. Furthermore, the text highlights how since the beginning of the invasion, Gagauzia’s regional authorities, as well as the general population, have resisted efforts by the Moldovan government to limit Russian influence in the region. It also shows how dissatisfaction with the policies of the current government, combined with an economic crisis and a prolonged drought, have led to political infighting within Gagauzia, and the rise of certain pro-Russian figures who employ radical language reminiscent of the late-Soviet period

Authors: Fang Meie
Published: April 2023

The advancement of hardware and computing power has enabled deep learning to be used in a variety of fields, particularly in AI medical applications in intelligent medicine and medical metaverse. Deep learning models are aiding in many clinical medical image analysis tasks, including fusion, registration, detection, classification and segmentation. In recent years, many deep learning-based approaches have been developed for medical image recognition, including classification and segmentation. However, these models are susceptible to adversarial samples, posing a threat to their real world application and making them unsuitable for clinical use. This paper provides an overview of adversarial attack strategies that have been proposed against medical image models and the defense methods used to protect them. We assessed the advantages and disadvantages of these strategies and compared their efficiency. We then examined the existing state and restrictions of research methods involving the adversarial attack and defense of deep learning models for medical image recognition. Additionally, several suggestions were given on how to enhance the robustness of medical image deep learning models in intelligent medicine and medical metaverse.

Published: April 2023

The article discusses the theme of women in the works of the world-famous double-classical writers E. Hemingway and M. Auezov, as well as the most talked about gender issues today. The psychological basis of the problematic issues that prevented women from being happy in the works of two writers is revealed. According to a modern person's perspective, all of the issues mentioned in the article are distinct from those in classical and earlier works since they represent the complicated reality of contemporary life. The article's core thesis is that complicated interactions may be resolved in straightforward ways. Although sometimes the same decisions are tragic in nature, the fact is that people strengthen their game about humanity based on high humanism. In general, the peculiarities of the portrayal of women by two writers, consonant with the realities of the time in which they live, lead to interesting stories. The overlapping manifestation of the image of a woman in the realities of the era and the thoughts of humanity as a whole is associated with the internal psychological state of a woman as an individual. One of the main goals of the article is to determine how the term gender is characterized in world literature and Kazakh literature. At the same time, one of the eternal themes – the manifestation of spiritual and sexual relations between a man and a woman-is differentiated by the fact that it is connected with the National worldview of writers.

Redefining Social Determinants of Health: The Social Realities of Health
Authors: Dhlamini Beauty
Published: April 2023

The social determinants of health, often used interchangeably as wider determinants of health, can be understood as the conditions in which people are born, grow, play, live, work, and age. These determinants are significant drivers of illness and disease, and the experience of it within global public health.1 It has been nearly 15 years since the World Health Organization (WHO) launched its commission on the social determinants of health, led by Professor Sir Michael Marmot.2 Since then, a large body of research has emerged indicating that these determinants are often the underlying cause of health disparities and should be the focus in our approaches to addressing health inequalities and inequities. Unfortunately, the term has lost its meaning within systems of care because of misuse and lack of context, especially pertaining to the people they impact the most.

This paper presents a model that analyses the relationship between the coach’s emotional competences and the training climate as predictors of the youngsters’ emotional competences and psychological well-being. In the present study, 309 athletes and 17 coaches participated in the study. A general predictive model was estimated with path analysis and the maximum robust likelihood (MLR) estimation method. The results showed that the coach’s emotional competences are associated with autonomy-supportive climates (β = .15, p < .005). This climate is related to youth’s emotional competences (β = .30, p < .005) and lower emotional (β = -.27, p < .005), behavioural (β = -.51, p < .005), and social (β = -.33, p < .005) symptomatology. These results have important practical implications in designing interventions that promote coaches’ emotional competences given its association with autonomy-supportive climates, which in turn are related to athletes’ emotional competences and psychological well-being. Keywords: coaching, athletes, autonomy-supportive climate, mental health, well-being.

This study aims to explore the mental health of bullying victims at SDN 3 Palu. This type of research is qualitative research with a case study approach. The research informants were 9 people based on purposive sampling technique. Data management using matrix techniques. The results showed that physical and non-physical bullying experienced by the victim caused thoughts of a negative self-concept, thoughts of hatred towards the perpetrator, and delusions/hallucinations due to trauma, so that the victim felt a threat. Conflict motives and control are carried out by communicating the events experienced, avoiding the perpetrator, and tend to remain silent when experiencing bullying, the victim feels unable to solve the problem on his own. Informants have less social interaction because their friendship is unhappy and do not feel calm when they are at school even though they have received support from their closest people. The emotions possessed by the informants were in the form of frequent crying, anger, and fear for no apparent reason as well as thinking disorders that disrupted daily activities. The advice given is that the school and parents should give attention and in-depth guidance to victims and perpetrators of bullying, present an anti-bullying program, and examine variable aspects from the point of view of teachers and perpetrators
Practical Approaches to Overcome the Challenges of Comprehensive Two-Dimensional Liquid Chromatography
Authors: Pirok Bob W.J. , Schoenmakers Peter J.
Published: April 2023

Comprehensive two-dimensional liquid chromatography (LC×LC) is a powerful technique for separating highly complex samples. However, the proliferation of this technique is hindered by a range of challenges, including the possible impact of the additional separation on the detection sensitivity, concerns that mobile phase incompatibility problems will limit the applicability, and the complexity of the system and associated method development costs. This article addresses these issues and describes how modern modulators and software tools are overcoming the barriers associated with this technique.

Published: April 2023

In this article, semi-symmetry of almost C(α)-manifold is investigated on some special curvature tensors. First, the behavior of the almost C(α)-manifold is investigated when the special curvature tensors discussed are flat. Then, for these special curvature tensors, the behavior of the manifold in the semi-symmetric condition is observed and for some special curvature tensors, important properties such as the semi-symmetric almost C(α)-manifold being Einstein and η-Einstein manifold are obtained.

Aim:
To compare the effectiveness of PD-1 inhibitor or bevacizumab plus chemotherapy in advanced non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer (nsNSCLC).
Methods:
We retrospectively collected data for patients with advanced nsNSCLC who underwent first-line treatment with PD-1 inhibitor or bevacizumab plus chemotherapy (IC and BC groups). Propensity score matching (PSM) was adopted to balance covariates.
Results:
278 patients were enrolled, after PSM (n = 104/group), the objective response rate was 45.1% and 24.0% in the IC and BC groups (p = 0.001). Median progression-free survival (PFS) was 13.5 and 8.2 months (p = 0.007), and duration of response was 14.8 versus 8.1 months (p = 0.007), respectively. In subgroup analysis, the PFS for those patients with PD-L1≥1% (16.2 vs 6.8 months, p = 0.000) was significantly longer in the IC group than that in BC group, but not in the PD-L1<1% subgroup (8.9 vs12.7 months, p = 0.719).
Conclusion:
PD-1 inhibitor plus chemotherapy was superior to bevacizumab plus chemotherapy as first-line treatment for advanced nsNSCLC, which is debatable for patients with PD-L1<1%.

Para amparar o processo de ensino-aprendizagem, as instituições de ensino devem avaliar cuidadosamente a usabilidade de seus Ambientes Virtuais de Aprendizagem (Learning Management Systems - LMS), antes de entregá-los a professores e alunos. Este artigo apresenta o processo e os resultados das avaliações de usabilidade em atividades de ensino-aprendizagem apoiadas pelos LMS Canvas e Blackboard em uma universidade brasileira. A metodologia considerou testes com usuários para avaliar cinco atributos de usabilidade nos sistemas. Além disso, especialistas em usabilidade realizaram inspeções de usabilidade para analisar problemas e possíveis soluções. Os resultados indicaram que ambas as plataformas apresentam graves problemas de usabilidade. Em termos de comparações entre os dois sistemas LMS, os resultados não mostraram uma disparidade significativa de usabilidade entre eles. Como resultado, também apontamos os principais problemas e soluções dos LMS.
