Published: August 2024

Background: COVID-19 may trigger the progression of atherosclerosis, potentially leading to its clinical manifestation. Among the serum biomarkers related to atherosclerotic disease, it seems helpful to evaluate biochemical factors such as CD147, ACE2, and ACE in patients with COVID-19. Methods: In this case-control study, serum samples from 90 patients were analyzed. The cohort included 30 patients hospitalized in the intensive care unit with COVID-19, 30 patients hospitalized in the ward with COVID-19, and 30 healthy individuals from Ayatollah Kashani Hospital (Tehran, Iran). These patients were admitted between December 10, 2022, and March 10, 2023. The concentrations of cholesterol, triglycerides, high-density lipoprotein (HDL), low-density lipoprotein (LDL), and the activity levels of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE), angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2), troponin, CPK, CPK-MB, and CD147 were determined and analyzed among the three groups. Results: There was no significant difference in age between the patients (55.40 ± 10.34 years) and the control group (58.34 ± 11.71 years). SARS-CoV2 viral RNA was detected in the pharyngeal swab samples of the COVID-19 patients. The levels of CD-147 (2528.43 ± 12.43 vs. 2176.7 ± 9.87 vs. 1346.3 ± 14.23), ACE (83 ± 3.05 vs. 97 ± 1.55 vs. 30.1 ± 2.32), troponin (0.972 ± 0.25 vs. 0.784 ± 0.21 vs. 0.021 ± 0.68), and cholesterol (199.73 ± 2.43 vs. 175.87 ± 5.21 vs. 144.97 ± 8.74) were significantly higher in severe cases compared to non-severe cases (P < 0.05). ACE (AUC = 0.894) and CD147 (AUC = 0.821) had the highest sensitivity and specificity among the studied factors, respectively. Patients with normal levels of ACE and CPK-MB had a 0.16 times lower and 4.37 times greater chance of experiencing severe disease, respectively. Three strong correlations were found among the studied parameters: CD147 with ACE2 (r = 0.721) and cholesterol with triglyceride (r = 0.602) (P < 0.05). Conclusions: Examining ACE and CD147 can help determine a person's susceptibility to atherosclerosis. These two factors have greater sensitivity and specificity and could be used as potential markers for monitoring disease progression.

Published: August 2024

Background: The most significant problem encountered with hospital infections caused by multi-drug resistant Acinetobacter baumannii isolates is the difficulty in treatment. Defining resistance mechanisms is important for the development of treatment strategies. Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the beta-lactamase genes and clonal relationship in multi-drug resistant A. baumannii isolates in Mugla, Turkey, as no data are currently available for this province. Methods: Total 96 multi-drug resistant A. baumannii isolates obtained from hospitalized patients, between 2011 - 2012 period (n = 61) and in year 2019 (n = 35) were investigated and compared for antibiotic susceptibilities, beta-lactamase enzyme encoding genes by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method. Repetitive extragenic palindromic (REP) PCR was made for dendrogram analysis to illustrate hierarchical relationship between isolates. Results: Overall, 74.0% of the isolates were obtained from patients in intensive care units. All multi-drug resistant isolates were found resistant to ciprofloxacin, piperacillin, piperacillin-tazobactam, meropenem, and imipenem by the disk diffusion method. The minimum inhibitory concentration values indicated that all isolates were resistant to imipenem, while colistin resistance was determined as 21.9%. The ISAba-I insertion element was present in all isolates. BlaOXA-23-like was present in 96.9%, and blaOXA-24-like was detected in three (3.1%) isolates. blaNDM positivity was shown in 5.2% of isolates. The indistinguishable or closely related isolates ratio was detected as 29.5% for the 2011 - 2012 period and 80% for 2019. Conclusions: Our findings showed that antibiotic resistance rates were high in A. baumannii, particularly isolated from intensive care unit patients in Mugla province. The prevalence of beta-lactamase and metallo-beta-lactamase genes has been increasing year by year, with the blaOXA-23-like gene region being the most prevalent. Additionally, the co-existence of these genes among strains is also on the rise. These findings from two different periods may provide useful reference data for future studies.

Improving the Trust Factor in Decentralized Networks through Deep Learning
Authors: Khan Nida Saleh , Muhammad Ahsan Aslam  , Naeem Aslam
Published: August 2024

Recent developments in techniques and methods of Machine Learning have led to enhanced techniques of predictive modeling. This research focuses on the performance of the four commonly used models as CNN, RNN, ANN, LSTM and studies them based on the parameters of accuracy, precision, recall, F1 score. In the introduction, we emphasize the relevance of choosing the best model when working with such problems as forecasting needs an accurate and reliable result. The experience of the prior publications points out that, yet CNNs and ANNs dominate the field, RNNs and LSTMs turn into better options when it comes to temporal relations and patterns recognition.  In our case, we used a comparative analysis in which a set of bar charts and learning curves was used to compare each model’s effectiveness. Bar graphs allowed comparing metrics of the CNN, RNN, ANN, and LSTM methods; learning curves were used to observe the training of models during 20 epochs. It is also visible that the RNN model has the highest accuracy (97. 96%) and precision (98. 00%), as well as a high recall (97. 50%). The LSTM model follows with the accuracy of 97. 63% and an F1 score of 97. CNN and ANN results are relatively poor with CNN with accuracy of 96%. 89% though ANN was higher and stands at 95. 89%.  The authors’ investigation finds the comparative analysis under consideration proves RNNs to be the most resistant in relation to the parameters studied, which makes this approach exceptionally suitable for precisely targeted problems as to precision and recall. This enables LSTM models to give a fairly good balance, with CNN as well as ANNs being only slightly behind the top performing models. These findings highlight the relevance of the problem of model selection for achieving the best predictive accuracy.

New Creative Methods in English Language Teaching for South Indian Students
Authors: Santhiya S.
Published: August 2024

Some key considerations for English teaching in rural Indian classrooms: Resources and facilities may be limited - rural schools often lack access to textbooks, technology, and other teaching aids that are common in urban schools. As a teacher, you'll need to be creative and make the most out of limited resources. Students may struggle with pronunciation and speaking - English is often not spoken at home and there is limited exposure to conversational English. Games, activities, and plenty of opportunity for speaking practice are important. Classes sizes are often very big - You may have over 40 or 50 students in a single classroom. Using group work and peer learning strategies can help engage all students. Student skill levels vary greatly - In the same classroom you may have some students who are fluent readers and some who are still learning the alphabet. Differentiated instruction is crucial. Local culture and languages play a huge role - Incorporating examples, stories, and content related to the local culture can help make lessons more relevant. Allowing some use of mother tongue languages can also aid understanding. Student attendance can be inconsistent, especially for girls - Family obligations may prevent students from attending school regularly. Providing maximum support and catch-up resources for these struggling students is important to keep them engaged. The key is providing student-centered, engaging but flexible teaching for classrooms full of culturally and academically diverse students with widely varying backgrounds and skill levels.

Authors: K.D Salami , A.A Lawal
Published: August 2024

This study was carried out at Kiyawa community and aimed at determining tree growth attributes, identifying fungi, bacteria and determining the microbial load in the Neem and Eucalyptus shelterbelt. Data were collected from four temporary sample plots of 30 x 30m each laid at interval of 100 m along a line transect of 500m in length. Also, 1 × 1m subplot was laid within the 30 x 30 m plot and used for soil sample collection. Dbh and total height of all trees were measured using a measuring tape and spigeal relascope while volume and Basal area were calculated using appropriate formula. Potato Dextrose Agar and Nutrient Agar media were used for the isolation of fungi and bacteria. The collected data was analysed using descriptive statistics and t-test. The Neem shelterbelts had the highest Dbh, Basal area, Height, and volume of 82.25cm±1.23, 0.90m2 ±0.15, 15.90m±0.2, 97.08m3 ± 4.27m3 followed by Eucalyptus shelterbeltwhich had the lowest value of 62.50±0.93cm, 0.463±3.43m, 3.75±0.0 3 and3.48±2.43m.The findings revealed the presence of three (3) bacteria species in each study site. Staphyloco ccus aureus and Bacillus cereus were found in the Euca lyptus shelterbelt, while Bacillus subtilis and E. coli we re found in the neem shelterbelt. However, Aspergillus flaming occurred in eucalyptus shelterbelt while Fusarium oxysporum was found in Neem shelterbelt. Result showed that mean microbial load of fungi (Eucalyptus = 1.45x 106 ; Neem = 1.50 x106 ) was higher than that of bacteria (Eucalyptus = 1.24 x 106 ; Neem = 1.3 x106 ). There was significant difference (p≤ 0.05) between the bacterial microbial loads between the two study sites. Thus, the shelterbelt supports growth of neem tree and fungal growth. Therefore, interplanting of tree with arable crops is recommended for improved economic production and enhancement of shelterbelt
