Authors: Mahgoub Mohammed , Ayad Caroline Edward , Ahmed Hussein Ahmed Hassan
Published: April 2023

Stroke is one of the main causes of disability and death globally. Although Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) has completely changed how stroke victims are diagnosed and treated, its application to the Sudanese population has not yet been investigated. This study aimed to assess the diagnostic accuracy of MRI in detecting brain infarctions and to evaluate the correlation between patient demographics and MRI results in Khartoum State, Sudan. A cross-sectional study was conducted at the Radiology department, Omdurman Military Hospital, Khartoum, Sudan, from April 2019 to February 2023. A total of 222 stroke patients were included in the study, with a slight male predominance (51.0%). Routine brain MRI was performed using 3 orthogonal planes and at least T1, T2, and FLAIR weighted images. The study found that all four MRI sequences (T1, T2, FLAIR, and DWI) have similar accuracy in measuring brain infarction sizes, with T2 sequence being slightly more sensitive. The most common occupation among stroke patients was soldier (19.8%) and the most affected age group was 63-77 years (34.2%). Additionally, the study revealed a higher incidence of right-sided infarctions (53.1%) compared to left-sided (47.0%). These findings provide insight into the accuracy of MRI in diagnosing brain infarction and highlight the importance of considering demographic factors in stroke evaluation.

Objective: Lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM) is a rare, destructive disease of the lungs with a limited number of determinants of disease activity, which are a critical need for clinical trials. FGF23 has been implicated in several chronic pulmonary diseases. We aimed to determine the association between serum FGF23 levels and pulmonary function in a cohort of patients with LAM. Methods: This was a descriptive single-center study in which subjects with LAM and controls with unreported lung disease were recruited. Serum FGF23 levels were measured in all subjects. Clinical data, including pulmonary function testing, were retrospectively obtained from electronic medical records of LAM subjects. Associations between FGF23 levels and clinical features of LAM were explored via nonparametric hypothesis testing. Results: The sample comprised 37 subjects with LAM and 16 controls. FGF23 levels were higher in the LAM group than in the control group. In the LAM group, FGF23 levels above the optimal cutoff point distinguished 33% of the subjects who had nondiagnostic VEGF-D levels. Lower FGF23 levels were associated with impaired DLCO (p = 0.04), particularly for those with isolated diffusion impairment with no other spirometric abnormalities (p = 0.04). Conclusions: Our results suggest that FGF23 is associated with pulmonary diffusion abnormalities in LAM patients and elicit novel mechanisms of LAM pathogenesis. FGF23 alone or in combination with other molecules needs to be validated as a biomarker of LAM activity in future clinical research.

CONDITION OF PERIODONTAL TISSUES ON THE BACKGROUND OF HELICOBACTER INVASION: THE CONCEPT OF PATHOGENESIS
Authors: Bohatu Svitlana , Rozhkovskyi Yaroslav , Lyubchenko Olena
Published: April 2023

The aim: To analyze the state of periodontal tissues against the background of Helicobacter pylori invasion in dynamics and to propose a possible mechanism of development of inflammatory periodontal diseases in patients with Helicobacter pylori-associated pathology of the gastrointestinal tract.
Materials and methods: We examined 43 patients with Helicobacter pylori-associated gastrointestinal pathology and 42 patients of the same age without somatic pathology, including without gastrointestinal pathology associated with Helicobacter pylori. Clinical and laboratory research methods (clinical, instru-mental, biochemical, histological methods) were used.
Results: Comparing the data of clinical observations and the results of laboratory studies of patients with in%ammatory periodontal disease on the background of Helicobacter pylori-associated gastrointestinal pathology, obtained in different observation periods, we can assume that basic dental treatment of periodontal disease in such patients undergoing eradication therapy does not provide stable anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial and antioxidant effect, which leads to reduced periods of remission and recurrence of periodontal disease, where oral dysbiosis plays a crucial role.
Conclusions: Comparing the data of clinical observations and the results of laboratory studies of patients with chronic gingivitis on the background of Helicobacter pylori-associated gastrointestinal pathology, obtained in different observation periods, we can say that they correlate with each other and suggest that the basic dental treatment of chronic gingivatis on the background of H.pylori-associated pathology of the gastrointestinal tract, which is currently undergoing a course of eradication, does not give a stable anti-in%ammatory, antimicrobial and antioxidant e&ect, which leads to recurrence of periodontal disease and shortening remission periods, where oral dysbiosis plays a crucial role.

Analysis And Evaluation of Momentary Forces and Reaction Time on The Starting Cushions with Sensors - Dynamic for Runners
Authors: Shlash Maher , Alfadly Sareeh
Published: April 2023

Starting cubes are a device used in the sport of arena and field races by speed-racing athletes to strengthen and stabilize their feet at the beginning of the race so as not to slip forward when hearing the starting gun. How can they improve the payment on these cubes? Why is starting important in fast running? When it comes to starting the race, athletes with the best reaction time, greatest strength, and the ability to accelerate as fast as possible can outperform their peers. It is important to remember one essential thing: when cubes are used, they should be intended to be able to help and allow the runner to accelerate, not to get him to full speed in the first few steps. Young athletes, therefore, tend to try to reach as quickly as possible once they start from the starting blocks. So, the starting cubes are designed to give runners great horizontal momentary strength, the most important indicator in the starting cubes is to get the right body angles. This research provides further developments and takes advantage of the start of the run to evaluate and analyze the forces and reaction time obtained by the movements of the two men on the cubes of starting the various fast running races (100m, 100m women's barriers), Men's 110mHurdles, 200m, 400m,400m Hurdles, 4×100m Relay, 4×400m Relay, 4x100m Mixed) For different categories. The idea of designing sensors -  dynamic on the starting cubes came to the necessary need for such sensors that measure the amounts of power propulsion and reaction time of runners in these events taking advantage of the technology and scientific development in this field, if the start-up cushions are designed with sensors  - dynamic and calibrated mechanically standard to provide the required measurement accuracy  It was used to measure and analyze the strength and reaction time of the enemies of these elite Iraqi competitions by basing lab view workers, and the measured results obtained showed reasonable sensitivity and accuracy with a slight variation in their values, as well as measuring the change in strength over time for Runners perform this launch and acceleration based on the computer's vision tracking system. The proposed start-up cushions are promising to be used in a wide range of applications, including in-house and field laboratories for teaching, training, and monitoring the progress of runners during training and scientific research.

Asymmetric synthesis of a stereopentade fragment toward latrunculins
Authors: Joyeux Benjamin , Gamet Antoine , Casaretto Nicolas , Nay Bastien
Published: April 2023

Latrunculins are marine toxins used in cell biology to block actin polymerization. The development of new synthetic strategies and methods for their synthesis is thus important in order to improve, modulate or control this biological value. The total syntheses found in the literature all target similar disconnections, especially an aldol strategy involving a recurrent 4-acetyl-1,3-thiazolidin-2-one ketone partner. Herein, we describe an alternative disconnection and subsequent stereoselective transformations to construct a stereopentade amenable to latrunculin and analogue synthesis, starting from (+)-β-citronellene. Key stereoselective transformations involve an asymmetric Krische allylation, an aldol reaction under 1,5-anti stereocontrol, and a Tishchenko–Evans reduction accompanied by a peculiar ester transposition, allowing to install key stereogenic centers of the natural products.

The research dealt with the subject of the governance of the auditing profession in Iraq for the purpose of improving the professional performance of the auditor problem of the research was to know the impact of the proposed framework for the governance of the auditing profession in Iraq, and the concept of governance of the auditing profession received the attention of many researchers. However, a clear and specific concept of it did not crystallize either in the standards issued by international organizations or in the studies conducted by the research. The reason is that the services provided by the auditing profession cannot be tested in advance and there is difficulty in measuring the quality of performance after completing the audit process in addition to the lack of expertise for the beneficiaries of this service, and the objectives of the research were focused on presenting and discussing the concept of governance of the auditing profession as contemporary concepts. And the statement of the impact of using it as a means to improve the quality of the professional performance of auditors and their role in reducing the expectations gap in the auditing profession, as well as trying to design a proposed framework to represent the relationship between the governance of the auditing profession and improving the quality of professional performance and its contribution to the discovery and reduction of the expectations gap in the auditing profession. And the study found the need for the regulators of the auditing profession in Iraq to apply a framework for the governance of the auditing profession in Iraq and adopt a policy of educating stakeholders and increasing their awareness of the responsibility of auditors.
Quality assurance of legislation of Ukraine: theoretical and praxeological concept
Authors:   Shulzhenko Fedir, Ryndiuk Vira
Published: April 2023

The article notes that to ensure the quality of legislation, both the official rule-making process and the appropriate level of its scientific and organizational-legal support are important. Accordingly, direct rule-making activity should be distinguished from management activities of rule-making, the study of which is not given due attention.

The most important conditions for effective rule-making are planning of this activity on the basis of the Concept of development of national legislation — a doctrinal official legal binding document, as well as observance of the principles of scientificity, democracy, publicity, taking into account public opinion in the adoption of regulations that affect their quality. The concept of development of the legislation of Ukraine should be accepted by the newly elected parliament of Ukraine for the term of its powers (5 years) on the basis of coordination of political positions of the parties which entered the Coalition of deputy factions in the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine. Accordingly, the concept must comply with rule-making at all levels of public authority.

It is also important to legally regulate the procedures for lobbying the legitimate interests of civil society institutions, business structures at various levels, and so on. Legislative regulation of lobbying should be comprehensive and systemic, as lobbying takes place in the rule-making process at all levels of public authority from parliament to local governments. Lobbying rules should also be aligned with current legislation. Borrowing foreign experience of legislative regulation of lobbying, it is necessary to focus on domestic political and legal reality; reckless copying of the lobbying practices existing in other countries will only lead to even greater chaos in this area and a decrease in public confidence in public authorities.

Improving the quality of legislation will also contribute to clarifying the powers of parliamentary committees, ministries, a clear definition of organizational and legal forms of their cooperation in the adoption of legislative acts. In particular, when organizing management activities of rulemaking, it is also advisable to listen to the idea of correlating the structure of profile committees of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine and the structure of ministries. After all, according to the Law of Ukraine «About central authorities of executive power», one of the main tasks of the ministry is to generalize the practice of applying the legislation, develop proposals for its improvement and submit draft acts in the prescribed manner.

Key words: quality of legislation, management of normative activity, concept of legislation development, principles of law – making, lobbying of the process of adoption of normative legal acts.

Published: April 2023

Sports bioinformatics is of great importance in the understanding of sports performance from different perspectives. Accumulated bio-sequences in databases provide considerable contributions to compare proteins in different organisms. In Kingdom of Animalia, some animals have experienced evolution for excellent athletic performances in nature. The present paper exhibits a model in silico approach for the evaluation of sports performance by comparing lactate dehydrogenases (LDH) in humans (Homo sapiens) and saltwater crocodiles (Crocodylus porosus). The results show that a high sequence similarity is observed between the LDHs from H. sapiens and C. porosus with minor modifications. The stability and grand averages of hydrophobicity index values for studied LDHs were found as 24.79–25.18 and -0.006 –0.020 in H. sapiens and C. porosus, respectively. In conclusion, the identification of amino acid modifications in important enzymes of specific animals that are related to sports physiology are lessons we learn from from nature, which can open a new gate for the development of sports performance and talent selection.

Analyzing the X-ray data of supernova remnants (SNRs) is among the most challenging tasks in current X-ray astronomy because SNRs are both spatially extended and variable over time. We developed the strategy to track the time-series properties of all the parts constituting a diffuse structure by introducing the free-form image-registration technique based on B-spline and demonstrated the methodology using the Chandra data of Cassiopeia A. We successfully extracted the spatial distribution map of the time variability of continuum luminosity. To our knowledge, this is the first comprehensive characterization of such a dynamic diffuse target both in spatial and temporal viewpoints. We found that each of the four clusters derived by applying k-means algorithm to the extracted light curves has a clear physical meaning distinct from other clusters, which shows that our method is not a mere technique for automation but capable of capturing the underlying physics.

The detonation of a thin (≲0.03 M
⊙) helium shell (He-shell) atop a ∼1 M
⊙ white dwarf (WD) is a promising mechanism to explain normal Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia), while thicker He-shells and less massive WDs may explain some recently observed peculiar SNe Ia. We present observations of SN 2020jgb, a peculiar SN Ia discovered by the Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF). Near maximum brightness, SN 2020jgb is slightly subluminous (ZTF g-band absolute magnitude −18.7 mag ≲ M

g
≲ −18.2 mag depending on the amount of host-galaxy extinction) and shows an unusually red color (0.2 mag ≲ g
ZTF − r
ZTF ≲ 0.4 mag) due to strong line-blanketing blueward of ∼5000 Å. These properties resemble those of SN 2018byg, a peculiar SN Ia consistent with an He-shell double detonation (DDet) SN. Using detailed radiative transfer models, we show that the optical spectroscopic and photometric evolution of SN 2020jgb is broadly consistent with a ∼0.95–1.00 M
⊙ (C/O core + He-shell) progenitor ignited by a ≳0.1 M
⊙ He-shell. However, one-dimensional radiative transfer models without non-local-thermodynamic-equilibrium treatment cannot accurately characterize the line-blanketing features, making the actual shell mass uncertain. We detect a prominent absorption feature at ∼1 μm in the near-infrared (NIR) spectrum of SN 2020jgb, which might originate from unburnt helium in the outermost ejecta. While the sample size is limited, we find similar 1 μm features in all the peculiar He-shell DDet candidates with NIR spectra obtained to date. SN 2020jgb is also the first peculiar He-shell DDet SN discovered in a star-forming dwarf galaxy, indisputably showing that He-shell DDet SNe occur in both star-forming and passive galaxies, consistent with the normal SN Ia population.

We study the evolution of solar eruptive events by investigating the temporal relationships among magnetic reconnection, flare energy release, and the acceleration of coronal mass ejections (CMEs). Leveraging the optimal viewing geometry of the Solar TErrestrial RElations Observatory (STEREO) relative to the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) and the Reuven Ramaty High-Energy Solar Spectroscopic Imager (RHESSI) during 2010–2013, we identify 12 events with sufficient spatial and temporal coverage for a detailed examination. STEREO and SDO data are used to measure the CME kinematics and the reconnection rate, respectively, and hard X-ray (HXR) measurements from RHESSI provide a signature of the flare energy release. This analysis expands upon previous solar eruptive event timing studies by examining the fast-varying features, or “bursts,” in the HXR and reconnection rate profiles, which represent episodes of energy release. Through a time lag correlation analysis, we find that HXR bursts occur throughout the main CME acceleration phase for most events, with the HXR bursts lagging the acceleration by 2 ± 9 minutes for fast CMEs. Additionally, we identify a nearly one-to-one correspondence between bursts in the HXR and reconnection rate profiles, with HXRs lagging the reconnection rate by 1.4 ± 2.8 minutes. The studied events fall into two categories: events with a single dominant HXR burst and events with a train of multiple HXR bursts. Events with multiple HXR bursts, indicative of intermittent reconnection and/or particle acceleration, are found to correspond with faster CMEs.

This paper describes a Portuguese ongoing experience of policies aiming at including people in society and ultimately in the labour market, promoting sustainability in wellbeing. Namely, if focuses on the teaching of chess to prisoners in Portuguese jails, and the following participation of these prisoners in championships as the first Hybrid European Championship for Prisoners held in October of 2021. the authors base the study in theories about social inclusion and relate them to chess. Then they explain in detail experiences dealing with the inclusion of chess in society. Furthermore, they explain the Portuguese case. The chapter concludes that chess has been a very interesting tool for the social integration of prisoners in Portugal as well as in other countries. Therefore, the experience is worth being pursued and developed worldwide.

Intelligent transportation systems are an area that have been in discussion for a lot of time, more precisely since in the 90's. With the advances in technology, it has been possible to start implementing this type of system, which brings a lot of benefits to people's lives; like, for example, making their road trips more secure and efficient. It also helps the environment, due to people spending less time in transit, and is a system that complements the emerging industry of smart cities. It all sounds good, except when it comes to security and privacy. This chapter will present these systems and their security and privacy concerns, including vulnerabilities that can be exploited if the due measures are not considered and implemented, which are even harder to obey because of privacy regulations like the general data protection regulation (GDPR).

With the rise of the popularity of e-commerce, it is evident that the service retail industries aim to reduce inventory and increase sales and profit margins. To achieve this, it is of paramount importance to establish excellent and effective interaction between customers and customer support. When a customer orders a product online, it is essential that the store demonstrates whether the products are in stock and the nearest stores to where the customers are. Currently, the needs of the customers are unlikely to be effectively met. Hence, the stores are unlikely to provide desirable products to customers even with high inventory. This paper investigates this issue at a typical and popular retail store in Vietnam. The authors present an investigation of this issue through two main stages. Corpus analysis for a set of collected text messages posted on the stores' websites for customer support was first carried out to explore the lexical patterns that indicate the customers' needs. This analysis revealed the frequency of customers' requests for the stores' locations where they can buy the goods and/or whether they are in stock. In the second stage of the investigation, the valuable findings from the corpus analysis were used for data extraction based on Named Entity Recognition (NER) software. The NER recognizes entities, including locations and names.
Beyond Content and Pedagogy

The changing dynamics of higher education and societal experiences overall make it critical that higher education faculty and staff understand and embrace the importance of relationship-building and the social emotional needs of their students. The chapter begins by making the argument that teaching—particularly in higher education—should be embraced as a helping profession. A review of the literature on caring and mattering is provided, and social emotional learning strategies are presented to operationalize the constructs of caring and mattering. Five instructional teaching practices and four social teaching practices are described. An overview of the contemporary research about the strategies is presented, and a practical example of how each strategy can be implemented in the college classroom is offered.
