Asymptotic proximity to higher order nonlinear differential equations
Authors: Astashova Irina , Bartušek Miroslav , Došlá Zuzana , Marini Mauro
Published: June 2022

The existence of unbounded solutions and their asymptotic behavior is studied for higher order differential equations considered as perturbations of certain linear differential equations. In particular, the existence of solutions with polynomial-like or noninteger power-law asymptotic behavior is proved. These results give a relation between solutions to nonlinear and corresponding linear equations, which can be interpreted, roughly speaking, as an asymptotic proximity between the linear case and the nonlinear one. Our approach is based on the induction method, an iterative process and suitable estimates for solutions to the linear equation.

Published: June 2022

In the present paper, we consider random variables with the power series distribution which is often used in the study of the generalized allocation scheme. We establish some asymptotic properties which include law of large numbers, moderate deviation principle, almost sure central limit theorem and the rate of convergence in the local limit theorem. These results supplements results obtained by A. V. Kolchin.
Estimates of lengths of shortest nonzero vectors in some lattices. I
Authors: Rybakov Alexander S.
Published: June 2022

In 1988, Friese et al. put forward lower estimates for the lengths of shortest nonzero vectors for “almost all” lattices of some families in the dimension 3. In 2004, the author of the present paper obtained a similar result for the dimension 4. Here we give a better estimate for the cardinality of the set of exceptional lattices for which the above estimates are not valid. In the case of dimension 4 we improve the upper estimate for an arbitrary chosen parameter that controls the accuracy of these lower estimates and for the number of exceptions. In this (first) part of the paper, we also prove some auxiliary results, which will be used in the second (main) part of the paper, in which an analogue of A. Friese et al. result will be given for dimension 5.
Polarisierung auf der Straße – Die politischen Folgen der Dynamiken von Protest und Gegenprotest
Authors: Hellmeier Sebastian
Published: June 2022

Über das letzte Jahrzehnt hat die politische Mobilisierung von Rechts in Deutschland und Europa zugenommen. Insbesondere die Migrationsbewegungen seit 2015 waren für Netzwerke wie Pegida Anlass auf die Straße zu gehen. Auf der anderen Seite haben sich diverse zivilgesellschaftliche Akteure von antifaschistischen Gruppen über Gewerkschaften bis hin zu Kirchen organisiert, um in Form von Gegendemonstrationen ein Zeichen gegen Rechts und für Weltoffenheit zu setzen. Diese Mobilisierungsdynamiken von Protest und Gegenprotest fanden im Zuge der Konflikte um staatliche Maßnahmen zur Eindämmung der Corona-Pandemie ihre Fortsetzung. Proteste und Gegenproteste können zum einen Ausdruck einer bestehenden Polarisierung der Gesellschaft sein und bergen zum anderen das Risiko einer weiteren Polarisierung auf der Straße. Am Beispiel der Interaktion zwischen Pegida und der NoPegida-Bewegung diskutiert dieser Beitrag die möglichen Folgen von Gegenmobilisierung. Die Analysen legen nahe, dass Gegenproteste nicht zu einer Demobilisierung der Gegenseite führen. Nichtsdestotrotz können sie einen Positionierungsdruck auf politische Entscheidungsträger*innen ausüben, mediale Aufmerksamkeit für gesellschaftliche Konflikte generieren und die Vernetzung progressiver zivilgesellschaftlicher Akteure fördern.

Reactivation of minimal change disease after Pfizer vaccine against COVID-19
Authors: Marampudi Sindhu , Beshai Rafail , Banker Gopika
Published: June 2022

This case follows a 54-year-old woman with a medical history of hypertension who experienced reactivation of minimal change disease (MCD) after receiving the Pfizer vaccine against COVID-19. She had her first episode of MCD 15 days after receiving the influenza vaccine in 2018. She remained in remission for over 3 years following treatment with steroids. She experienced foamy urine and leg edema after receiving the first dose of the Pfizer vaccine, but she did not consult medical professionals until she received the second dose. She wanted to be fully vaccinated because she worked in healthcare. Her initial diagnosis of MCD in 2018 was made following a kidney biopsy. The diagnosis of reactivation following COVID-19 vaccine was made with labs and presenting symptoms. At presentation, her urine protein was 9,977 mg/day. She was treated with prednisone 50 mg/day following her relapse with improvement in her urine protein to 85 mg/g within 4 weeks of starting treatment. She is currently undergoing treatment with prednisone with improvement in her presenting symptoms, which included foaming of urine and edema of legs. This case demonstrates the importance of vigilance in patients with a history of MCD when receiving the COVID-19 vaccine, particularly if they have a history of such reactions to other vaccines. Patients should discuss the benefits and risks of receiving the vaccine with their medical professionals and stay cognizant about the possibility of reactivation after receiving the COVID-19 vaccine.
Conditional quantum plasmonic sensing

Published: June 2022

The possibility of using weak optical signals to perform sensing of delicate samples constitutes one of the main goals of quantum photonic sensing. Furthermore, the nanoscale confinement of electromagnetic near fields in photonic platforms through surface plasmon polaritons has motivated the development of highly sensitive quantum plasmonic sensors. Despite the enormous potential of plasmonic platforms for sensing, this class of sensors is ultimately limited by the quantum statistical fluctuations of surface plasmons. Indeed, the fluctuations of the electromagnetic field severely limit the performance of quantum plasmonic sensing platforms in which delicate samples are characterized using weak near-field signals. Furthermore, the inherent losses associated with plasmonic fields levy additional constraints that challenge the realization of sensitivities beyond the shot-noise limit. Here, we introduce a protocol for quantum plasmonic sensing based on the conditional detection of plasmons. We demonstrate that the conditional detection of plasmonic fields, via plasmon subtraction, provides a new degree of freedom to control quantum fluctuations of plasmonic fields. This mechanism enables improvement of the signal-to-noise ratio of photonic sensors relying on plasmonic signals that are comparable to their associated field fluctuations. Consequently, the possibility of using weak plasmonic signals to sense delicate samples, while preserving the sample properties, has important implications for molecule sensing, and chemical detection.
Four-channel display and encryption by near-field reflection on nanoprinting metasurface
Authors: Cao Yue , Tang Lili , Li Jiaqi , Lee Chengkuo , Dong Zheng-Gao
Published: June 2022

Multichannel metasurfaces become one of the most significant development trends, as they exhibit versatile manipulation abilities on electromagnetic fields and provide a promising approach to constitute compact devices with various complex functions, especially in optical encryption due to its capabilities of multichannel, high complexity, and high concealment. However, the existent multichannel metasurfaces based optical encryption technology can only realize two channels in the near-field, or perform three channels in near- and far-field. In this paper, a four-channel display metasurface used to encrypt information by three optical parameters as security keys is firstly proposed and experimentally demonstrated, which is different from the previous three-channel metasurface combined nanoprinting and hologram in near- and far-field. The novel design strategy of the four-channel metasurface can effectively enhance the information capacity and increase the difficulty of leaks without causing manufacturing challenges and additional costs. In addition, the simulation and experimental results demonstrate that the designed metasurface with four independent channels can separately display distinguishable nanoprinting images under decoding keys of special optical parameters. The proposed four-channel display metasurface with advantages of high capacity and ultracompactness will pave a way for multichannel applications in nano display, information storage, optical anticounterfeiting, and other relevant fields.
Risk Factors for Postoperative Permanent Neurological Dysfunction After Stanford Type A Aortic Dissection: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of 11382 Cases
Authors: Xiang yu ping  , LUO Tianhui  , ZENG Ling
Published: June 2022

Objective: To systematically evaluate the risk factors for permanent neurological dysfunction (PND) after Stanford type A aortic dissection (TAAD).
Method: Electronic databases included PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, CNKI, WanFang Data, VIP, and CBM. We collected studies about risk factors for PND after TAAD was published from inception to December 2021. Two authors independently assessed the quality of the studies, and a meta-analysis was performed by RevMan 5.3 Software.
Results: A total of 20 studies involved 11382 cases, and among them, 1321 patients suffered PND, including 34 predictive risk factors. The meta-analysis showed that age (OR=1.11, 95% CI (1.06, 1.16), P < 0.0001), preoperative PND (OR=2.95, 95% CI (2.14, 4.07), P < 0.00001), retrograde tear in the ascending aorta (OR=6.67, 95% CI (3.23, 13.79), P < 0.00001) were independent risk factors for PND after TAAD surgery.
Conclusions: Current evidence shows that age, preoperative PND, retrograde tearing in the ascending aorta are risk factors for PND after TAAD. These factors can be used to identify high-risk patients, providing guidance for medical staff to develop perioperative preventive strategies to reduce the incidence of PND. The results should be validated by higher-quality studies.
Floatplane vs wig: a very fast approach
Authors:  I Lekas Theodore
Published: June 2022

In this short paper a fast comparison between a seaplane and a WIG craft is presented, based on the approximate calculation of the required power at level flight and cruising speed. Two similar capacity generic crafts are used, one seaplane flying at 10000 ft at 300 km/h IAS and the other one flying at 7 m from the sea surface also at 300 km/h. It was found as expected, especially if an improvement is added, that the one flying in ground effect requires less power than the seaplane.

Jackknife for nonlinear estimating equations
Authors: Maiboroda Rostyslav , Miroshnychenko Vitalii , Sugakova Olena
Published: June 2022

In mixture with varying concentrations model (MVC) one deals with a nonhomogeneous sample which consists of subjects belonging to a fixed number of different populations (mixture components). The population which a subject belongs to is unknown, but the probabilities to belong to a given component are known and vary from observation to observation. The distribution of subjects’ observed features depends on the component which it belongs to.
Generalized estimating equations (GEE) for Euclidean parameters in MVC models are considered. Under suitable assumptions the obtained estimators are asymptotically normal. A jackknife (JK) technique for the estimation of their asymptotic covariance matrices is described. Consistency of JK-estimators is demonstrated. An application to a model of mixture of nonlinear regressions and a real life example are presented.
Unique traits of sports-related public procurements in the European Union
Authors: András Krisztina , Tátrai Tünde , Juhász Péter
Published: June 2022

This paper focuses on sports-related public spending in the Member States of the European Union (EU). Based on the public procurement database of the EU (TED), a sport-related public procurement database was built and analysed. Using data from 33 countries for the period 2017–2019, the paper describes the characteristics of sport-related public procurements. The research highlights that the public database is an adequate way of making the data on public procurements available, where traditionally the latency was high. The characteristics found for the eight most active Member States include a high proportion of construction works. There is a connection between countries and the dominant type of purchasing organisations, although the involvement of central purchasing bodies is not a game-changer in this area. Higher value contracts usually lasted for longer and the length of contracts has a strong connection to the contract types. Non-negotiated types of procedures show a far higher average contract value than negotiated procedure types. When the lowest price criterion was applied, the total procurement value was significantly lower.

Authors: Hernani Ma Rosita A. , Monzolin Mia Maureen B. , Jordan Sharie Mae L. , Monzolin Chris-Ann C.
Published: June 2022

Background and Study Aim. Students’ physical well-being is highly affected throughout the quarantine period. The effects of it towards the performance in Physical Education is examined due to the sudden shift of educational setting. More specifically, it sought to determine the impact of physical activity performed during the quarantine period based on the FITT (Frequency, Intensity, Time, Type) principle of exercise on the physical well-being of the students as well as the relationship of the two variables.

Materials and Methods.  The study was participated by 1,648 students at Cebu Normal University who, used an online survey, answered a 34-items questionnaire with dichotomous questions. Pearson Product Moment Correlation was utilized.

Results. The study yielded 5 major results. The students' smoking habits have no impact on their engagement to physical activity when applying the FITT principle to distant learning. The students' dietary habits do not influence their engagement in physical activity related to distant learning when the FITT principle is used. When the FITT principle is utilized, students' BMI has nothing to do with their engagement in physical activity associated with distant learning. Students who engaged in physical activity spent less time engaging in these sedentary pursuits. University students were more likely to follow a normal eating routine, and aware more likely not to engage in unhealthy behaviors like smoking cigarettes, and were more active in other physical activities like doing household chores during the quarantine period.

Conclusions. The study found out that physical well-being has a considerable negative impact on  undergraduates' physical education achievement. Thus, the FITT principle has no impact on any participation in physical activities during distance learning.
Ecological invasion of the giant African snail Lissachatina fulica (Bowdich, 1822) in a semi-arid forest of western India.
Authors: Rasal Vishal , Dhakad Meenu , Khandal Dharmendra
Published: June 2022

The giant African snail Lissachatina fulica (Bowdich, 1822) (also known as Achatina fulica) is indigenous to the coastal region of con-tinental East Africa. It is one of the most invasive ecological pests in the world and threatens native flora, agriculture, human and animal health outside its natural range. While dry and semi-arid climatic re-gions are supposed to be immune to its invasion, our data show that this is not always the case. Ranthambhore National Park is dry, de-ciduous forest located in semi-arid part of western India. We have observed the progressive invasion of L. fulica in this fragile land-scape since its first introduction in 2010. Subsequently, it has spread over a large area at an alarming rate. We discuss the observations on behaviour and the factors responsible for the rapid spread of L. fulica in the park.
The modified objective-constraint scalarization approach for multiobjective optimization problems
Authors: HOSEİNPOOR Narges , GHAZNAVİ Mehrdad
Published: June 2022

In this article, a novel scalarization methodology, called the modified objective-constraint technique, is proposed for determining efficient solutions a given multiobjective programming problem. The suggested scalarized problem extends some existing problems. It is shown that how adding slack variables to the constraints, can help us to find easily checked conditions concerning (weak, proper) Pareto optimality. By applying the suggested problem, we generate an almost even approximation of the efficient front. The performance and capability of the developed approach are demonstrated in test problems containing disconnected or nonconvex fronts and feasible points. In particular, we apply the suggested approach in an engineering design problem with two objective functions.
Asymptotic behavior of a laminated beam with nonlinear delay and nonlinear structural damping

Published: June 2022

Our concern in the present work is a Timoshenko laminated beam system with nonlinear delay and nonlinear structural damping acting in the equation describing the dynamics of slip. The aim is to establish an explicit and general energy decay rates of the solution under suitable assumptions on the weight of delay and speeds of wave propagation. To achieve our desired stability results, we exploit some properties of convex functions, coupled with the multiplier technique, which involves constructing an appropriate Lyapunov functional equivalent to the energy of the system.
Tres trampas: sobre los orígenes de la crisis económica mexicana de 1994
Authors: MAYER-SERRA CARLOS ELIZONDO
Published: June 2022

ABSTRACT In all developing countries facing economic reform there are political and economic obstacles to such a radical change. In the case of Mexico, however, during the Salinas administration (1988-94), a new economic crisis exploded after serious changes had taken place and the economy seemed to have stabilized and was prepared for continuous growth under a new development strategy. By the end of the six-year presidential period, the old cycle of boom and bust returned. This article seeks to understand why the Mexican economy has ended in two of the last three presidential periods with an overvalued exchange rate, high deficits of the current account, unsustainable short-term debt, and a financial crisis. The article focuses on the Salinas administration, but shows that a similar logic led to economic crisis in the Echeverría (1970-76) and López Portillo (1976-82) administrations. It is argued that the 1994 crisis is the result of three traps: an international context which allowed a massive entrance of capital flows, the ideology of the state elite, and the incentives provided by the institutional framework. These three traps were also present in the previous two crises.
A insurreição da voz feminina em Ruína y leveza, de Julia Dantas
Authors: Zimmermann Jian Marcel
Published: June 2022

Resumo A nós, contemporâneos no início do século XXI, coube a tarefa de depurar mazelas sociais e históricas que produziram sociedades com desigualdades internas, seja em termos de representatividade ou de oportunidades e direitos. Nesse sentido, o presente estudo desenvolve reflexões sobre a relação entre gêneros, os estados de exploração e subalternidade presentes nesse âmbito e suas implicações coletivas e subjetivas. Para este fim, elegemos um corpo teórico heterogêneo em termos cronológicos, com autores já clássicos no assunto, como Judith Butler, e também pensadores com carreiras mais recentes, como Djamila Ribeiro. Ademais, utilizamos como corpus de análise o romance Ruína y leveza, publicado em 2015, da escritora Julia Dantas. Essa escolha se deu em função da instigante abordagem do tema e também por sua qualidade estética como objeto artístico. A protagonista da supracitada narrativa percorre caminhos geográficos, intelectuais e afetivos em busca de sanar seus conflitos pessoais. Entretanto, acaba por estabelecer contatos que despertam a consciência de que ela é apenas parte de um problema coletivo, e essa percepção afeta de forma definitiva as escolhas futuras para sua vida. O entrelaçamento analítico entre teoria (social, histórica...) e prática literária nos mostrou a produtividade da mescla entre exercício intelectual e fruição como ferramenta de resistência a um contexto de injustiça e opressão. Percebemos que, para a construção de uma sociedade mais humanizada e equilibrada, é necessário que todos, independentemente do gênero, sejam tomados como sujeitos de suas ações, com equidade de direitos e deveres.
Surveillance of Parimutuel Wagering Integrity Using Expert Systems and Machine Learning
Authors: Freedman Roy , Isidore Isidore
Published: June 2022

Parimutuel wagering is a significant source of revenue for many state governments. MonitorPlus is a surveillance system for parimutuel operators and regulators. Using industry expertise and best practices, MonitorPlus examines each and every wager and account transaction for evidence of fraud, crime, and money laundering. Alerts are generated in real-time. In forensic discovery mode, MonitorPlus is designed to collaborate with skilled analysts to discover more complex suspicious wagering patterns. MonitorPlus utilizes machine learning, so its risk profiles are current: its knowledge base improves with time. Each alert is accompanied by an automatically generated, rule-based explanation. This is critically important if an event rises to the level where legal action is required. Our development and deployment strategy is based on a new paradigm of a secure surveillance utility, where real-time alerts and dataintensive forensics support multiple regulatory jurisdictions. We believe this surveillance paradigm can be applied to other application domains such as lotteries, casinos, online gaming, and financial services.
Enteral lorazepam is a promising weaning strategy for midazolam‐responsive febrile infection‐related epilepsy syndrome (FIRES): a case series
Authors: Jain Vivek , Konanki Ramesh , Chaitra Raghuvamshi , Srivastava Kavita , Sharma Ravi
Published: June 2022

Objective. Prolonged and repetitive cycles of pharmacological coma, with midazolam or other general anaesthetics, is often the mainstay for seizure control in febrile infection‐related epilepsy syndrome (FIRES). Here we present our experience of enteral lorazepam as an effective weaning substitute in midazolam‐dependent patients.

Methods. This was a retrospective study based on a review of medical records of all FIRES patients who had received enteral lorazepam as a weaning substitute for midazolam, between January 2020 and July 2021. The patients were divided into an early group (lorazepam initiated after one failed attempt to wean off midazolam) and late group (lorazepam initiated after two or more failed attempts). The conversion from intravenous midazolam to enteral lorazepam was also calculated, and epilepsy outcome at follow‐up was also assessed.

Results. Seven patients (five males) were eligible. The median age at onset of FIRES was seven years (range: 4–14). A median of six (range: 6–8) anti‐seizure medications (ASMs) had failed (including clobazam in two and clonazepam in one) to control seizures. The early and late lorazepam groups were comparable regarding the maximum midazolam dose for seizure control, total ASMs tried and days to wean off midazolam. The median (range) duration of hospital stay was 27 days (22‐46) in the early group, compared to 51 days (40‐78) in the late group. The early group patients were also on fewer ASMs (median: 3; range: 3–5) compared to the late group (median: 5; range: 4–6) at discharge. Five patients were sedated with initial lorazepam dose, but this side effect resolved on dosage reduction. On follow‐up, all seven patients had seizure recurrence. In four, seizures recurred on reducing lorazepam, however, in three of these patients, this was resolved by escalating the dose.

Significance. Enteral lorazepam can be an effective weaning substitute for midazolam‐dependent children with FIRES. Early introduction of enteral lorazepam was associated with reduced duration of hospital stay.
The Effect of Peirce's Philosophical Position on His Understanding of the Sign
Authors: ÖNDER Şeyma Gülsüm
Published: June 2022

Göstergenin bilimsel olarak incelenme sürecinde etkin rol oynayan zihinsel arka plan farklılığı, temel unsurlarının şekil ve formlarında görülen değişiklikler başta olmak üzere, gösterme eyleminin işlevi ve gayesine ilişkin birtakım görüş ayrılıklarına zemin hazırlar. Nitekim göstergebilimin kurucuları Ferdinand de Saussure (1857-1913) ve C. S. Peirce (1839-1914), göstergeyi birbirinden farklı iki bağlamda ele alır. Saussure göstergebilimin, dilbilimi de içine alan bir bilim dalı olarak kurulması gerekliliğine değinmekle yetinirken Peirce, onu, mantık ve anlam-yorum çalışmalarına hız kazandırmak amacı ile bilimsel zemine taşır. Peirce’ün göstergeye bakışı, yalnızca işaret olgusuna dair geliştirdiği bir teori olarak değil; ayrıca bir anlam ve bilgi teorisi olarak da incelenmelidir. Bu nedenle makalenin ilk bölümünde Peirce’ün mantık alanındaki düşüncelerinin alt yapısını oluşturan varlık kategorilerine yer verilecektir. Ardından onun pragmatisizm düşüncesi ve klasik mantık eleştirisi üzerinden göstergeye ve işaret ettiği anlama bakışı değerlendirilecektir. Üçüncü bölümde ise gösterge teorisi, detaylı olarak incelenecek; Peirce’ün felsefî pozisyonun semiyozis (semiosis) terimleri üzerindeki belirleyici etkisine değinilecektir.

El control biológico con microorganismos y extractos vegetales es una alternativa de manejo de las poblaciones de insectos vectores efectiva y menos contaminante para el ambiente. El objetivo de esta investigación fue evaluar la actividad larvicida de mezclas de Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. israelensis (Bti) y extractos de Annona muricata, Ricinus communis y Sapindus saponaria para el control biológico de larvas de A. aegypti. Para ello se obtuvieron extractos etanólicos de semillas o frutos de las tres especies vegetales y se determinaron las concentraciones letales 50 de los extractos y la bacteria. Posteriormente se realizaron combinaciones de los extractos con Bti y se evaluó el efecto de dichas interacciones. Tanto la bacteria como los extractos vegetales presentaron actividad larvicida. Se encontró que las mezclas de Bti con el extracto etanólico de R. communis y S. saponaria generaron un efecto antagónico, mientras que la combinación con A. muricata presentó una acción independiente. La adición del extracto etanólico de semillas de A. muricata a cultivos esporulados de Bti se podría considerar una alternativa más efectiva para el control biológico de A. aegypti que con cada uno de estos compuestos por separado.

Published: June 2022

El presente artículo de investigación científica y tecnológica tuvo como objetivo establecer una asociación entre la atención sostenida, la memoria a corto plazo y el uso del smartphone en estudiantes de 15 a 19 años. El método utilizado fue no experimental con diseño descriptivo, comparativo-correlacional, con una muestra no probabilística de n=100 participantes, distribuidos por grupos comparativos de acuerdo con la edad, el sexo, el grado académico y el uso del smartphone. Los instrumentos utilizados fueron las subescalas (atención y memoria) de la batería Neuropsi y una encuesta de elaboración propia para evaluar la frecuencia del uso del smartphone. Se encontró una asociación no causal significativa de forma inversa entre el uso de este tipo de dispositivos y la atención sostenida; una relación directa entre la atención sostenida y la memoria a corto plazo; así como diferencias entre los grupos. Se concluye que, a mayor uso del smartphone, mayor afectación en la atención sostenida; por otro lado, a mayor atención sostenida, mayor memoria a corto plazo, por tanto, el uso del smartphone indirectamente afecta la memoria a corto plazo. Finalmente, las variables cognitivas evaluadas se modifican de acuerdo con factores sociodemográficos como el sexo, el grado y la edad.

Authors: Medina Rodríguez José Carlos , Solís Villegas Elia Mireya
Published: June 2022

Background. Current medical literature suggests a symptomatic overlap between posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), which makes understanding their impact on the treatment process a challenging undertaking. Objective. The key aim of this work was to deliver a comprehensive overview of empirical and observational studies concerning the overlap between both psychopathologies. Method. Two independent authors searched PubMed, PsycINFO, and Web of Science databases between April and July 2020 utilizing relevant MeSH terms. Subsequently, a systematic scoping review was undertaken according to the PRISMA-ScR Statement to identify all relevant publications concerning the overlap of OCD and PTSD symptomatology. We included peer reviewed studies published in any language that contributed quantitative or qualitative data that addressed the relationship between OCD and PTSD symptoms as the main aim or outcome of the study. Non-peer-reviewed articles, studies that did not address this phenomenon of interest, and gray literature documents were excluded. This review was not registered into the International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews, since, according to the National Institute of Health Research, scoping reviews are ineligible for registration into PROSPERO. Results. Twenty-five relevant studies were included (11 cross-sectional studies, 5 longitudinal-prospective studies, 4 case series, 4 case studies and 1 retrospective study). We did not conduct any statistical analysis due to the diversity of the included studies, thus proceeding to realize a thematic synthesis of the obtained data. Discussion and conclusion. A symptomatic overlap exists between both comorbidities in some clinical populations, and this relationship may hamper treatment outcomes.

BACKGROUND: The urgency of the problem is conditioned by insufficient study of peri-implantitis microbiota, its changes in the dynamics of the process and in the concurrent course with periodontitis.
AIM: To justify the diagnostically significant cultivated obligate microorganisms involved in the development of inflammatory processes in the area of the placed implants.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: The study was conducted in the period 20182022. The study involved 127 patients of a private dental clinic in Kirov, Russia. Kirov LLC Dental Clinic aged 35 to 69 years (53.81.9 years). Men made up 48% and women 52%. Biological material from the peri-implant area was examined. Inoculation on dense culture media of biological material with subsequent calculation of microorganism concentration was carried out according to the Gold method of quantitative four-section inoculation. The species identification of the isolated cultures was carried out by MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry using a Vitek-MS bacteriological analyzer (BioMerieux, France).
RESULTS: Microorganisms obligate anaerobes playing an important role in the development of peri-implantitis were identified in the investigation. Microorganisms that reduce the development of inflammatory changes in periimplantitis, having an inverse correlation between the concentration of microorganisms and the degree of clinical, hygienic and radiological changes in persons with implants, were named periodontal protectors. Microorganisms contributing to the development of pathological processes in the periimplant zone, having a direct correlation relationship between the concentration of microorganisms and the degree of severity of clinical, hygienic and radiological changes periodontopathogens. This was more pronounced in patients with associated periodontitis. The regularity in the increase of frequency and concentration of several pathogens during the progression of peri-implantitis with predominance of micro-organisms in the periimplant area in those with periodontitis was found.
CONCLUSION: The microbiota of the peri-implant zones has been analyzed by means of the modern bacteriological method mass-spectrometry. On the basis of the study we substantiate the diagnostically significant microorganisms, respectively increasing (periodontopathogens) and reducing (periodontoprotectors) the development of inflammatory changes at periimplantitis.

Without initial resources and support in place for newcomer immigrant families, municipalities and service providers in new destination communities struggle to address social, economic, and educational needs of Latino immigrants and their families. The present study explored the role of churches and religious leaders in addressing the social, economic, and educational needs of Latino families in an emerging immigrant destination community. The study draws from in-depth interviews with five Latino religious leaders (e.g., Catholic priests and evangelical pastors) and Catholic laity. Thematic analysis was used to identify themes in the narrative data. Results illustrate Latino churches and religious leaders provided religious social capital (e.g., information, social and spiritual support) and served as cultural and language brokers (e.g., interpreter of language and culture). This study provides important implications and recommendations for social workers on how they can partner with religious leaders to serve Latino immigrant families in a timely, effective, and culturally sensitive manner.
Planning Jagathon: Commitment and Social Identities
Authors: Bao Huilin , McConnell Maddie
Published: June 2022

Jagathon has been one of the most significant events at IUPUI which is hosted and planned by IUPUI students. The study used social identity theory to indicate the planning process of Jagathon’s influences on Jagathon planners. The researchers conducted a qualitative study by interviewing 8 Jagathon planners. The results of the research showed that social identities can be enhanced through the planning of Jagathon as planners have gained self-development and found themselves more committed to IUPUI and themselves. The researchers also found that diversity can lead to increased participation. Based on the findings, this study provides some discussions about how IUPUI can enhance students’ experience and engagement on campus and increase students’ long-term commitment to IUPUI.
Coding Protocol
Authors: Nelson Gena
Published: June 2022

The purpose of this document is to provide readers with the coding protocol that authors used to code 21 studies that met inclusion criteria for a meta-analysis. The focus of the meta-analysis was to determine the average correlations between four common early numeracy curriculum-based measure measurement (CBM) tools (i.e., oral counting, quantity discrimination, missing number, and numeral identification) and mathematics achievement criterion measures. We also identified moderating factors of the relationship between CBM and the criterion measures. Studies were included if they focused on at least one of the four common early numeracy CBM, and included correlations for students in preschool, kindergarten, or first grade. We coded 21 studies published between 2004 and 2021, including 19 peer-reviewed journal articles and two doctoral dissertations. Across studies, we coded variables such as basic study information, participant demographics, general CBM information (e.g., administration time of year, publisher), criterion measure information (e.g., state test, norm-referenced achievement measure, time of year), administration lag time between the CBM and criterion measure, and the correlation.
The Influence of Choice on Reading Motivation, Comprehension, and Time Spent Reading
Authors: Jons Tana
Published: June 2022

As students move from elementary to middle school, their reading motivation declines (Denaeghel et al., 2016).
As students transition into adulthood, increased literacy proficiency manifests itself in enhanced social
participation, and employment earnings (OECD, 2000a; OECD, 2000b). The purpose of this mixed methods study
was to determine whether giving students choice in what they read would increase their reading motivation,
ability, and time spent reading. Data was collected from sixth grade students in a large northwestern middle
school and included pre- and post-tests, surveys, and student interviews. Students were from four intact middle
school classes taught by the researcher. The study took place over a six-week period from November through January.
A mixed methods parallel convergent design was used to explore the following questions: (1) How does giving students
choice in the books they read influence the amount they read? (2) How does giving students choice in the books they
read influence their reading motivation? (3) How does giving students choice of what they read impact their achievement
as defined by the Gates-MacGinitie Reading Test? (4) What do the integrated quantitative and qualitative findings reveal about reading motivation?

Quantitative and qualitative data were collected and analyzed separately, then consolidated and integrated. The
quantitative data included pre- and post-test scores from the Gates MacGinitie Reading Test (GMRT), words read per
minute, minutes read at home per week and some responses from the surveys. This data was analyzed using repeated
measures ANOVAs and Chi squares. The qualitative data was gathered from the open-ended survey questions and semi-structured
interviews with thirty-one students, held at the conclusion of the study. Qualitative data was analyzed using a priori
codes, then recoded as new codes emerged from the data. The integration of all data indicated that motivation is more
than the time students spend reading. There is an energy and excitement students feel when they are allowed to choose
what they read, which is not necessarily present when their reading is assigned. Another major finding of this study was
that the group who was provided the structured choice, choosing between three books, increased motivation beyond both the
free choice and no choice groups. Findings from this study suggest at least two further studies. First, researchers should
attempt to determine the optimal number of books students can choose from. Second, research should be conducted on the
amount of in-class reading engagement. The implication for literacy teachers is a paradigm shift from a one-size fits all
novel study to offering students choices in what they read, thus improving middle school students’ dwindling attitude about
reading as they progress through the grades.
