Authors: Rufai Y. , Basar N. , Suleiman K. , Yinusa I.
Published: July 2022

The surface chemistry of nanostructures concerning their smaller sizes, unique optical and electronic properties continue to benefit organic medicinal chemistry and biosynthesis of active titania nanoparticles with metabolites present in plant extracts. Deinbollia pinnata ethyl acetate leave extracts with sol-gel method afforded titania nanoparticles (TiO2 NPs-anatase) with photodegradation performance at 98.7% of methyl orange (MO) conversion within 150 mins. Together with observed participation of π-π* transition state more than that of η-π* state. The GC-MS spectrum revealed classes of compounds which include long-chain fatty acids, galloyl ester, long-chain esters, tetraterpenoids, triterpenoids, sesquiterpenoid terpenoid (isoprenoids) with a correlation maximum of stigmasterol (94%)as phytochemical contents of the crude extracts. The physiochemical analysis using X-ray diffraction (XRD) showed average crystallite size in the range of 19 – 21 nm, field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) displayed uniform semi-spherical shape in the size range of 33 – 48 nm, energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) spectra depicted main elements of Ti (61 Wt.%) and O (35 Wt.%), UV-Vis spectroscopy exhibited band-gap energy of 3.2 eV, nitrogen sorption analysis specified type IV isotherm and BET surface area of 31.77 m2/g. The super-striking green TiO2 NPs photodegradation in this work with wide-ranged transitional states involvement, can, in turn, be used as bio-mediated TiO2 NPs in medicinal chemistry to enhance pharmacokinetics, pharmacological properties and replace chemical agents thereby reducing side effects at drug delivery site actions. Thus, natural products continue to integrate research advances and innovation.

The act of consuming soil (geophagy) has been reported both in man and wildlife. Most previous studies have concentrated more on various type of geophagic soilswith less attention on termite mounds (TMs), thus limiting our understanding the cause(s) of geophagy. This study investigated the physico-chemical constituents of wildlife geophagic TMsincomparison with non-geophagic forest soil (FS). Composite soil samples were collected each from four different TMs and a FS. Samples were analyzed for pH, texture, electrical conductivity (EC), water retention capacity (WRC), moisture content (MC) and colour.Soils were analyzed in triplicates following standard methods. Datagenerated were analyzed statisticallywith SPSS version 17.Theresult indicated acidic pH for both TMs(strongly to slightly acidic) and FS (slightly acidic). Clay content, EC, WRC and MC were significantly higher in TMs than FS.The colour of TMs ranged from reddish brown(4R 4/5) to dark brown (2.5R 5/7 or 5R 6/8) as against that of FS which was black (2R 2/4). Wildlife may be consuming TMs in preference to FS for; detoxification (high clay content), ant-diarrhea (high WRC and MC), Fe-supplement (brown colour of TMs) and dissolved salt content (high EC). Detailed studies intomineralogical and microbiological compositions of TMs may be needed to further justify the rolesof geophagy in wildlife.

Published: July 2022

Diminishing fossil fuel resources, coupled with the steady increase in energy consumption, and have spurred research interest in alternative and renewable energy sources. In this research work, oil was extracted from marula seeds using soxhlet extractor and n-hexane as solvent. The extracted oil was characterized via physicochemical analysis then in-situ transesterification of oil with methanol was carried out using eggshell as catalyst. The physic-chemical analysis showed the state of the oil at room temperature to be liquid, the odour was mild, the colour was brown, specific density was 3.46, saponification value was 193.6 ± 0.25, acid value was 8.2 ± 0.4, and iodine value was 100.68 ± 1.0. Biodiesel characterization showed that kinematic viscosity at 40oC was 4.98, cetane number was 64.5, flash point was 159, pour point was - 13, cloud point was 5, and density was 0.85. The prepared eggshell catalyst was characterized using X-ray Fluorescence and was found to be composed of CaO (73.2), MgO (0.2), SiO2 (0.4), SO3 (0.3), P2O5 (0.7), Na2O (0.5), Al2O3 (0.07), K2O (0.03), and Fe2O3 (0.08). This study suggests that marula seed oil can be used as a source of triglycerides in the manufacture of biodiesel by transesterification. The properties of the biodiesel produced showed theoretical compatibility with diesel engines in accordance with the ASTM standard.

In this three-part series we examine the extent to which disaster capitalism and the medical-industrial complex turned the pandemic into a 'golden' opportunity to enhance corporate profits which took place, in large part, at the taxpayer's expense through appropriation of public resources. In the first part we examine the rise of this predatory social ideology and the strategies its adherents have employed to assure its success. In the second part we examine the social and economic consequences of disaster capitalism during the COVID-19 pandemic which, in the end, led to the preventable loss of hundreds of thousands of American lives. In the final article we point to the necessity of broad reform not only of the healthcare system but of American democracy and raise challenging questions as to how this should be accomplished and, importantly, whether the American public is up to the task.

Published: July 2022

Establishing partnerships between public and private sector at the local level represents an efficient way of resolving the infrastructural issues and providing public services. Since the local budgets are overdraft, they cannot finance the construction of new roads, schools, hospitals, etc., so the local governments have found the solution to these problems by establishing the partnerships with private sector. The number of public-private partnerships has been significantly increased in recent years in the Republic of Serbia after overcoming the initial obstacles, mostly related to the problem of insufficient number of skilled staff working in the city administrations and local governments, as well as of finding an adequate partner in private sector. In this paper the author reviews the concept of public-private partnerships at the local level, the preconditions and obstacles for their realization, as well as the completed projects of this kind in Serbia and some other countries.

In this paper, the author presents mediation as a service activity in the criminal proceedings on the one hand, and as a way of resolving disputes on the other. Mediation has not been examined so far, and the author, being aware that we live in the 21st century which is called the century of services and service justice, and for a good reason, analyzes introduction of this type of service into the system of criminal law which traditionally represents a branch of public law and is distinguished by ius cogens norms. Mediation is viewed and analyzed as a way of resolving disputes in criminal proceedings with its significance emphasized through broad application in comparative law and through international standards in that field. Furthermore, an overview of the provisions on the mediation procedure in the applicable criminal procedure legislation is given. In the Code of Criminal Procedure, mediation is regulated in the framework of the provisions on summary proceedings conducted under a private lawsuit.

Published: July 2022

Perkembangan pesat teknologi informasi yang memberikan manfaat ternyata membawa dampak negatif pada pengguna, yaitu kemungkinan terjadinya kebocoran data pribadi. Cloud Computing adalah salah satu contoh perkembangan teknologi informasi (TI) yang menawarkan kemudahan nyata dalam penyimpanan, pengunggahan hingga pengunduhan data. Namun, tidak sedikit fenomena yang melibatkan platform tersebut dalam kasus kebocoran data. Hal yang menjadi tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengidentifikasi pengaturan dan bagaimana tanggung jawab penyedia jasa layanan cloud computing atas hal tersebut. Cloud computing secara implisit diatur pada Undang-Undang Informasi dan Transaksi Elektronik (UU ITE) dan Peraturan Pemerintah tentang Penyelenggaraan Sistem dan Transaksi Elektronik (PP PSTE 2019), yaitu pendaftaran sertifikat keandalan untuk menjamin keamanannya. PP PSTE 2019 memperbolehkan Penyelenggara Sistem Elektronik (PSE) untuk melakukan penyimpanan baik di dalam maupun luar Indonesia namun berada di bawah pengawasan kementrian sehingga dapat dimengerti bahwa cloud computing diatur di Indonesia dalam arti storage (penyimpanan). Hukum bersifat progresif tidak sesuai dengan regulasi cloud computing yang belum diatur secara khusus.

Published: July 2022

There is a segment of society, which does not have access to today’s sophisticated acoustics, but gesture-based sign language, such as using the hands or the shoulders of the eyes, can be a vital tool for making sure their audio is audible. The most widely used sign language in the world, known as ALC—American Linguistic Communication—varies slightly depending on the nation. Deaf and mute people can communicate effectively by using hand gestures to convey their message. The wearable good glove we developed for this study will translate ALC motions into the proper alphabets and words. It makes use of a glove with a number of flex sensors on the fingers’ distal and proximal interphalangeal joints as well as the metacarpophalangeal joint to detect finger bending. The complete system is divided into three units: a wearable hand glove unit with a flexible device that records user-created ALC gestures, a processing unit in charge of taking sensor data, and a final unit that uses a machine classifier to identify the appropriate alphabet. In order to receive known alphabet data in text form through a wired channel via the mobile “Sign to Speech App,” which presented that text data into this app, the smartphone unit is linked to the processing unit. Its user-friendly design, low cost, and availability on mobile platforms give it an edge over traditional gesture language techniques.

Assessing Exchange Rate Volatility and Economic Growth in Nigeria: A Garch Model Approach
Authors: David Okosu Napoleon
Published: July 2022

This study has examined the impact of exchange rate volatility on economic growth in Nigeria from the year 1981 to the year 2020. The study adopted secondary data (i.e. time series) obtained from World Bank National Account data and Central Bank of Nigeria Annual Statistical Bulletins, subjecting them to statistical analysis for relevant inferences to be made. Five variables were used in the study which were Growth rate of Gross Domestic Product (GRGDP), Exchange Rate Volatility (EXRV), Balance of Trade (BOT), Oil Price (OILP) and Inflation (INF) Rate. The variables were subjected to unit root test and they were stationary at different order of I(0) and I(1). Since the Variables were not all stationary at level but a mixed series, the ARDL bound test of cointegration was used to test for cointegration among them. Using the bound test, the variables were found to be cointegrated at 1% level of significance. The ARDL result indicated that; Exchange rate volatility has a significant impact on economic growth, with the impact being negative. In addition, other economic variables such as inflation has a negative and significant impact on economic growth while oil price have a positive and significant impact on economic growth. On the other hand, BOT has a positive effect on growth but the impact was significant at the 10 percent level. From the findings the study recommended that foreign exchange market should be well monitored with a view to ensuring that only ventures that would engender value added production in the real sector and export-oriented businesses should have more access. This will help to increase the value of the naira against major world currencies.
Radiofrequency catheter ablation of newly diagnosed paroxysmal atrial fibrillation in a patient with mitral and aortic mechanical valves: A case study
Authors: Vu Van Ba , Ngo Thi Hai Linh , Trung Hoang Kien , Khanh Xuan Nghiem , Duc Do Thinh , Manh Nguyen Hung , Thuy Nguyen Tran , Tien Le Dung
Published: July 2022

Background: Radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA) of atrial fibrillation (AF) in patients with prosthetic valve is still a challenge because of the higher recurrence rate and difficult manipulation of catheters in the left atrium which may lead to higher risk of complications. We presented the first AF ablation in Vietnam of a patient who had mitral and aortic mechanical valves.

Case summary:

A 54-year-old man who had two mechanical heart valves (mitral and aortic) implanted 16 years ago was newly diagnosed with symptomatic paroxysmal AF for the past 4 months at a province general hospital. The patient was treated with amiodarone but still symptomatic and could not tolerate the medication. A referral to our centre was made for consideration of radiofrequency catheter ablation. Sinus rhythm was successfully restored after pulmonary vein isolation, cavo-tricuspid isthmus ablation, and tailor-ablation. At the last follow-up at 9-months post-ablation, the patient was still in sinus rhythm and asymptomatic.

Discussion:

Catheter ablation of AF in patients with mechanical heart valve(s) is challenging due to increased difficulty in accessing the left atrium as well as catheter manipulation and ablation inside the atrium. Nevertheless, this procedure could be safely performed in high experience centres.

Published: July 2022

Persistent sciatic artery (PSA) is a very rare congenital vascular anomaly, occurs in 0.025% to 0.04% of the population, and occasionally associated with thromboembolic events or aneurismal diseases. We herein share experience of diagnosis and successful treatment of a Vietnamese patient with PSA complicated with distal thromboembolism. A 70-year-old woman was admitted to the hospital for acute lower limb ischemia. A computed tomography angiography (CTA) revealed complete occlusion of the left common iliac artery. Surgical embolectomy was carried out and abnormal distal left femoral artery was noted intraoperatively. Postoperative CTA showed a persistent sciatic artery (PSA) on the left and adequate perfusion of the left lower limb. During 2 years follow-up, the patient remained symptom-free with good perfusion to the distal left popliteal artery, anterior and posterior tibial arteries.
Surgical therapy for early stage non small cell lung cancer: VATS versus Thoracotomy
Authors: Que Do Kim , Anh Nguyen Trung
Published: July 2022

Objectives: Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) is the common cancer and the leading cause death of cancer. Lobectomy and lymph node dissection is optimal surgical treatment method for early stage of NSCLC. Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) approach is less trauma, quickly recovery, whereas those who advocate thoracotomy claim it as an ontologically superior procedure.

The aims of the study are to evaluate the role of Video-Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery for treating the patients who have early stage of NSCLC and comparing with conventional thoracotomy.

Methods: All of patients with NSCLC in stage IA - IIB underwent lobectomy and lymph node dissection through VATS or thoracotomy are collected. Patient characteristics are compared. Operative data, complications are assessed and survived is assessed by Kaplan–Meier and Cox proportional hazards analysis. Follow-up from 14 to 66 months.

Results: From May 2008 to August 2016, 57 patients with NSCLC stage IA - IIB underwent an attempt at VATS lobectomy and 60 patients underwent thoracotomy. There are 75 males and 42 females, mean age is 56.3, range 31 - 84. Lobectomy was performed in 106 cases and bilobectomy was performed in 11 cases. The mean operating time in VATS group is 157 minutes longer than conventional thoracotomy, which was 124 minutes. There was no statistic difference between 2 groups separated based on characteristics of patients. In 57 cases VATS, 5 cases were converted to thoracotomy. There was one death in conventional thoracotomy group. One patient had bleeding, needed to be re-operationed to control bleeding in each group. Prolonged air-leak presented in 7 cases (10.7%) in thoracotomy and 2 cases (3.8%) in VATS group. Hospitalization is 18.4 days in thoracotomy group and 12.8 days in VATS group. The 5-year OS rate was 67.8% in the VATS group and 71.6% in the thoracotomy group (p = 0.156). The 5-year DFS rate was 59.6% in the VATS group and 65.9% in the thoracotomy group (p = 0.065). Survival by Cox model was no different for VATS versus thoracotomy (hazard ratio 0.82; P = .21)

Conclusion: Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery is effective and safe method for surgical treatment of early stage of NSCLC. Surgery remains the primary therapy in the treatment of early-stage lung cancer. VATS was associated with less complication and shorter length of hospital stay. The 5 years survival is similar in VATS and conventional thoracotomy approach.
Selection of Exterior Wall System and MCDM Derived Decision

Published: July 2022

In the field of construction practice, decisions regarding material selection frequently come down to a choice based on tradition, i.e. recommendations based on the experience of the engineers hired by an employer as designers, contractors, or energy efficiency engineers. In the presented research, in addition to the Employer, technical individuals were involved in the decision-making process. The harmonisation of Employer opinions and those of experts were obtained through NGT technique and Delphi based method, due to the fact that different criteria for a decision could represent a field of interest of an individual participant in the process. The result was determining the criteria, their strictness, and their weighted effect. As multi-criteria decision analysis has evolved into a powerful tool that assists decision-makers in generating “a cut above” choice in resolving specific cases and overcoming certain problems in the architectural and construction industry, the use of the MCDM method EDAS+ in the research ensured an exterior wall system ranking that was not influenced by experience or marketing.

Without intending to favour any manufacturer of building materials, the research presents eight exterior wall systems belonging to different categories of core materials, all with individual features, similarities, and differences.

When compared to otherwise arbitrary estimates or recommendations based on experience and the most commonly used building materials, the application of multi-criteria decision analysis in the case of exterior wall system selection for a particular 1938 Belgrade building generated more relevant selection results.

Objective: To evaluate oral hygiene and periodontal health status of Acute Coronary Syndrome patients by using standardized oral hygiene and periodontal indices.
Methodology: A cross sectional study conducted at the Cardiac center and OMFS Department of PIMS hospital Islamabad. The convenience sampling technique was used in which the sample size was calculated to be 300. Either gender, age in-between 40-75 years was included. Smokers, known diabetic, patients having any cardiac procedure <6 months, or Patients reporting periodontal treatment within 3 months were excluded. The data was analyzed by using SPSS software version 23.0. The frequencies and percentages were calculated for categorical variables and mean and standard deviation for continuous variables.
Results: In this study 51% were male and 49% were female. The mean age was 54.55+9.605. It was found that 56% of included participants were living in urban areas and round about 40% belongs to the middle class socioeconomically. On the basis of oral hygiene 74% of participants had poor status. Periodontal health status was also poor as the 38.0% have gingivitis and pocket formation.
Conclusion: In our study majority of acute coronary syndrome patients reported poor oral hygiene and periodontal health status although it is not clear how oral hygiene and poor periodontal health effects cardiovascular changes. To find out the association of cardiovascular disease and periodontal disease and further details of pathogenesis there is much need for clinical evidence based studies.Â

İnsanoğlunun varlığına paralel gelişim gösteren pişmiş toprak ürünler, kullanılan hammaddeleri, üretim teknolojileri, uygulama teknikleri ve kullanım şekilleriyle özgünleşmiş ve bu özgünlükleriyle de bağlı bulunduğu uygarlıklara mal olmuşlardır. Bu bağlamda pişmiş toprak uygulamaların Anadolu Türk sanatındaki en önemli ürünleri çinilerdir. Çiniler, Anadolu Türk sanatında mimari eserlerin yüzeylerinde kaplama malzemesi olarak ve işlevsel günlük kullanım eşyası olarak kullanılmıştır. Çinilerin kullanım alanlarındaki farklılığa benzer olarak, üretimlerinde de farklı teknikler uygulanmıştır.

Çalışma kapsamında, Anadolu Türk çini sanatının tarihi gelişimine kısaca değinilmiş, seçilen yedi geleneksel çini tekniğinin üretim aşaması, kullanım alanları ve çinilerde zaman içinde gelişen parça-birim malzeme kayıpları türünden bozulmalar hakkında bilgi verilmiştir. Ardından atölye ortamında, yedi farklı geleneksel teknikte üretilen yirmi dokuz adet çini pano üzerinde, bu bozulmalara yönelik olarak on beş farklı tamamlama uygulaması yapılmıştır. Bu uygulamalı tamamlama örnekleriyle, çinilerin özgün yapısal ve dekor özelliklerine zarar vermeden, belli oranda görsel bütünlüğe de ulaşarak korumanın mümkün olduğunun gösterilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Bu sayede, tarihi çini onarımlarında halihazırda tespit edilen mimetik (birebir) tamamlamaların ve dayanağı belli olmayan desen tamamlamalarının, özgün çinilerin algılanmasındaki yanıltıcı ve zarar verici etkileri irdelenmiş ve restorasyon ilkeleri bağlamında çıkarımlarda bulunulmuştur.

Dijital oyun tasarımlarında kullanılan grafik arayüzleri, çocukların görsel metafor ve semboller aracılığı ile uygulama arasında iletişim kurmalarını sağlamaktadır. Tasarlanan oyun uygulamalarında kullanılan görsel metaforlar, genel anlamıyla nesnelerle olan benzerlikleri akla getiren ve nesnelere gönderme yapacak şekilde kullanılan bir anlatım yolu olarak karşımıza çıkmaktadır. Oyun tasarımlarında kullanılan simge ve sembollere aşina olunması durumunda uygulamaların kullanılabilirliği artmakta, uygulama ile çocuk arasındaki iletişimin etkili olmasında önemli rol oynamaktadır. Zaman içerisinde değişen grafik arayüz tasarımlarıyla beraber gerçek dünyadakine benzer nesneleri taklit eden ikonlar, skemorfik tasarımlardan düz (flat) tasarımlara doğru evrilmiş ve uygulamaların kullanılabilirliğini doğrudan etkilemiştir.
Bu araştırmada, grafik arayüz tasarımlarında kullanılan metaforların, skemorfik ve düz (flat) tasarım anlayışı üzerinden oyun uygulamaları aracılığı ile çocuklara nasıl sunulduğu incelenmiştir. Bu kapsamda, grafik arayüzü tasarımlarının değişim ve dönüşüm sürecinden görsel metaforların çocuklar üzerindeki etkileri ortaya koyulmaya çalışılmıştır. Araştırma, nitel araştırma yöntemleri üzerinden gerçekleştirilmiş olup; alan yazın taraması ile elde edilen veriler betimsel analiz yöntemi ile yorumlanarak oluşturulmuştur. Araştırma kapsamında taranacak olan veriler göz önünde bulundurularak, grafik arayüz tasarımlarının anlaşılabilirliği, tasarım sürecinde kullanılan metaforlar ve grafik arayüz tasarımlarındaki dönüşüm süreci görsel metaforlar üzerinden incelenmiş ve konuya dair örnekler ile araştırma desteklenmiştir. Araştırma bulgularına göre çocuklara yönelik oluşturulan grafik arayüz tasarımlarında bulunan metaforlar ve bu metaforların tasarımları sayesinde arayüz tasarımlarının anlaşılabilir kılınarak yaygınlaştırılması gerektiği düşünülmektedir.

Advances in the automatic lemmatization of Old English: class V strong verbs (L-Y)
Authors: Torre Alonso Roberto
Published: July 2022

The grammatical description of Old English lacks complete and systematic lemmatization, which hinders Natural Language Processing studies in this language, as they strongly rely on the existence of large, annotated corpora. Moreover, the inflectional features of Old English preclude token-based automatic lemmatization. Therefore, specifically goal-oriented applications must be developed to account for the automatic lemmatization of specific variable categories. This article designs an automatic lemmatizer within the framework of Morphological Generation to address the type-based lemmatization of Old English class V strong verbs (L-Y). The lemmatizer is implemented with rules that account for inflectional, derivational and morphophonological variation. The generated forms are compared with the most relevant corpora of Old English for validation before being assigned a lemma. The lemmatizer is successful in supplying form-lemma associations not yet accounted for in the literature, and in identifying mismatches and areas for manual revision.
