Ciliary function of the nose in patients with Osler`s disease and the effect of topically applied estrogens as a nose ointment
Authors: Sommer J.U. , Stuck B.A. , Heiser C. , Kassner S.S. , Hormann K. , Sadick H.
Published: June 2021

Background: In recent years, the positive effect of topically applied estriol nose ointment in the adjuvant therapy of Morbus-Rendu-Osler (HHT) has been proven. Due to the induced metaplasia, a complete destruction of the ciliated cells may be expected. However, data regarding the ciliary function of HHT patients with and without the use of topical estriol application are currently lacking. Methodology/principal: Ciliated samples were obtained by gently brushing the inferior nasal turbinate of 19 healthy volunteers and 15 patients with known HHT (8 of them regularly using 0.1% estriol nose ointment for 2 years (HHTwE) and 7 of them not using the ointment in the last 12 months (HHTwoE)). Analysis was done with an inverted phase contrast microscope connected to a high-speed digital camera. Recorded parameters were the visual integrity (VI) of the ciliary beat and its frequency (CBF) in Hz. Results: The VI index of all samples showed an undisrupted, even beating pattern with a difference between the three groups. The mean CBF in all HHT patients was reduced compared to the control group`s mean CBF. Within the HHT group itself, the mean CBF was reduced in the HHTwE group compared to the HHTwoE group. Conclusions: The ciliary beat frequency of HHT patients is impaired compared to the control group and even more so if the HHT patients topically apply estriol more than 6 months. An undisrupted beating pattern is found in the HHTwE group despite the fact that estrogens induce a transformation of the ciliated columnar into a keratinizing squamous epithelium. This data may justify the adjuvant application of estriol as a nose ointment in the treatment of epistaxis in HHT patients without the fear of damage to the nose`s mucus clearance.

So-called bimodal odorants are able to stimulate the intranasal trigeminal system at relatively low concentrations. Using them as stimuli, the current study focused on the interaction between the olfactory and trigeminal systems at a cerebral level. In the experiment, menthol was used at two concentrations, low and high, and these were delivered to two groups of subjects, a healthy control group and an anosmic group who were unable to perceive smells. A computer-controlled olfactometer based on principles of air-dilution was used to deliver the stimuli, while the brain functions were assessed by a functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) technique. SPM5 was used for data analysis. The results showed that normosmic subjects exhibited activation in the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) and posterior cingulate cortex (PCC), prefrontal cortex (PFC), and cerebellum. Whilst anosmic subjects activated the same area inside the anterior cingulate; moreover a cluster of activation was found in the left parahippocampal gyrus. In controls, an effect of stimulus intensity was localized between the anterior cingulated, the medial frontal gyrus and the cerebellum; such areas could not be found in anosmic subjects. These results suggest that the olfactory system modifies trigeminally mediated information causing an evident effect in the differentiation between stimulus intensities.

Published: June 2021

Objective: This study aims to determine the long-term recovery rate of posttraumatic olfactory disorders and to evaluate whether a lateralized disorder influences recovery. Method: Olfactory function of 67 patients with posttraumatic olfactory disorders were examined twice using the `Sniffin` Sticks` test battery. Olfactory function was classified based on composite TDI (Threshold, Discrimination and Identification) score. Subjective impairment was rated by visual analogue scale ranging from 0 to 10. Results: First and second examinations were conducted an average of 16.7 months and 74 months after trauma, respectively. From first to second examination, mean TDI score of the better nostril increased significantly, the number of patients with anosmia of the better nostril decreased, and number of hyposmic and normosmic patients increased. Subjective impairment decreased. Neither age, sex, nor side differences between nostrils affected improvement. Conclusion: After the follow-up period, in 27% of the patients the TDI score improved ≥ 6 points score and subjective impairment decreased. A follow-up period of more than 2 years is recommended.
Long-term effects of cutting versus non-cutting instruments in FESS
Authors: Mus L. , Hermans R. , Jorissen M.
Published: June 2021

Background: Currently most ENT surgeons advocate using cutting instruments in Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (FESS), based on the assumption of superior wound healing due to mucosal preservation. However, there is no scientific evidence of superiority of the cutting instruments. Methods: A prospective, randomized double blinded study was performed in 100 patients undergoing FESS, operated one side with non-cutting and the contra lateral side with cutting instruments. After a mean follow-up of 12 years after FESS, unilateral and global sino-nasal symptoms were scored by the patients using VAS, endoscopic abnormalities scored at both sides at the Outpatient clinic and radiologic abnormalities were described. Results: No significant differences between the sides operated by cutting and non-cutting instruments were found for sino-nasal symptomatic or for radiologic abnormalities between both sides. For the endoscopic parameters there was no difference for secretion or mucosa. Only for the presence of endoscopic synechiae there was a statistically significant difference between both groups. At the non-cutting side more synechiae were noticed, but no interference with sinus access, neither ventilation nor drainage was observed. Conclusion: FESS performed with cutting instruments results in less synechiae formation compared to non-cutting instruments. However, the presence of synechiae is not associated with more symptoms or CT scan abnormalities.

Authors: Odewole MM , Ajibade RO
Published: June 2021

Thevetia seed contains about 64 percent of non-edible oil in its oily kernel and this oil can be used for various purposes such as biofuel and bio-oil; making of paints, insecticides, cosmetics, lubricants and cooling oil in electrical transformers. The cakes obtained after oil extraction are incorporated on the field as manure. In order to get quality oil kernels from the hard nuts, there is need to properly crack them; this process of cracking is still a great challenge. As result of the aforementioned problem, this work focused on the design, fabrication and performance evaluation of a thevetia nut cracking machine. The machine works based on the principle of attrition force. Some of the parts designed for were diameter of shaft (13 mm solid shaft) and length of belt (A55), power required to operate the machine (2.5 hp), speed of operation (9.14 m/s) and the appropriate dimension of angle iron bar of 45 mm × 45 mm × 3 mm was used for the structural support. The fabrication was done systematically followed by the performance evaluation of the machine. The result of the overall cracking efficiency and throughput capacity of the machine were evaluated to be 96.65 % and 510 g⁄min respectively.KEYWORDS: thevetia nut, thevetia kernel, design, attrition, overall cracking efficiency
Performance Evaluation of Machine Learning Techniques for Identifying Forged and Phony Uniform Resource Locators (URLs)
Authors: Azeez N. A. , Ajayi A. A.
Published: June 2021

Since the invention of Information and Communication Technology (ICT), there has been a great shift from the erstwhile traditional approach of handling information across the globe to the usage of this innovation. The application of this initiative cut across almost all areas of human endeavours. ICT is widely utilized in education and production sectors as well as in various financial institutions. It is of note that many people are using it genuinely to carry out their day to day activities while others are using it to perform nefarious activities at the detriment of other cyber users. According to several reports which are discussed in the introductory part of this work, millions of people have become victims of fake Uniform Resource Locators (URLs) sent to their mails by spammers. Financial institutions are not left out in the monumental loss recorded through this illicit act over the years. It is worth mentioning that, despite several approaches currently in place, none could confidently be confirmed to provide the best and reliable solution. According to several research findings reported in the literature, researchers have demonstrated how machine learning algorithms could be employed to verify and confirm compromised and fake URLs in the cyberspace. Inconsistencies have however been noticed in the researchers’ findings and also their corresponding results are not dependable based on the values obtained and conclusions drawn from them. Against this backdrop, the authors carried out a comparative analysis of three learning algorithms (Naïve Bayes, Decision Tree and Logistics Regression Model) for verification of compromised, suspicious and fake URLs and determine which is the best of all based on the metrics (F-Measure, Precision and Recall) used for evaluation. Based on the confusion metrics measurement, the result obtained shows that the Decision Tree (ID3) algorithm achieves the highest values for recall, precision and f-measure. It unarguably provides efficient and credible means of maximizing the detection of compromised and malicious URLs. Finally, for future work, authors are of the opinion that two or more supervised learning algorithms can be hybridized to form a single effective and more efficient algorithm for fake URLs verification.Keywords: Learning-algorithms, Forged-URL, Phoney-URL, performance-comparison

Published: June 2021

Introduction. The relevance of the study is related to the fact that the formation of national clusters is one of the most essential tools to promote innovation and industrial development of the state economy. The objective of the article is to consider the peculiarities of the formation of cluster policy in the Republic of Kazakhstan and assess its development. Materials and methods. Statistical data from the official website of the Committee on Statistics of the Republic of Kazakhstan, as well as scientific papers on the economic development of Kazakhstan and the EAEU countries, were used. Results. The grain processing cluster of Kazakhstan is the basis of the agro-food cluster. In terms of grain production, Kazakhstan ranks third in the CIS after Russia and Ukraine. Wheat exports are one of the primary sources of foreign exchange earnings in the country’s economy. The market share of Kazakhstan for most products in relation to the EAEU is from 5 to 15%. The highest shares are observed in the production/consumption of vegetables and gourd (22.48%), grain (14.34%), and milk (11.92%). The lowest shares of production are observed for the production/consumption of sugar (3.87%), fruits and berries (7.47%), eggs (8.76%), and meat (8.54%). Agro-food production in Kazakhstan increased by 1.04% from 2013 to 2018, while consumption increased by 0.60%. By 2035, the capacity of the EAEU domestic market could grow significantly in the segments: meat and meat products (by 15%), milk and dairy products (by 17%), fruits and berries (by 39%), vegetables and gourd (by 24%), grain (by 12%) and oilseeds (by 69%). Discussion and conclusion. The formation and development of territorial and sectoral clusters, mainly agrarian, will be one of the most effective forms of realization of the national competitive advantages of the Republic of Kazakhstan.

Published: June 2021

El cambio abrupto en la modalidad del proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje puso de manifiesto las carentes habilidades que tienen tanto profesores como estudiantes en el uso de la tecnología. Su inclusión en la enseñanza universitaria ha supuesto mejorías, aunque incipientes en los diferentes espacios educativos. En el presente manuscrito se muestran algunos estudios acerca de la percepción que tienen tanto profesores y estudiantes de su impacto en los contextos tanto en línea como combinados, que muestran que las prácticas educativas no se han modificado sustancialmente. Finalmente, se discute que una verdadera tecnología educativa deberá construirse a partir de investigación, reflexión y análisis desde un abordaje interdisciplinario de los procesos educativos mediados a través de las TIC; cualquier aportación que se lleve a cabo desde el ámbito de la Psicología deberá considerar marcos de teoría general que permitan entender las modulaciones de comportamiento (qué y cómo aprender) ante las circunstancias que han impuesto las nuevas modalidades de enseñanza.

In national development in Indonesia, the agricultural sector is still a very decisive economic force, because around 100 million Indonesians work in the agricultural sector. During this pandemic, support is needed for economic recovery, including how to maintain the availability of sufficient food for the community. Efforts to support food security, among others, by increasing the use of land that is more optimal, and also reducing the risk of crop failure, including the intercropping farming system. The objectives of this study were (1) to determine the production factors that influenced the intercropping of corn and peanuts, (2) to determine the production factors (land area, seeds, fertilizers, drugs and labor) which had the most dominant influence on the intercropping of corn and peanuts. In determining the research area, East Nusa Tenggara deliberately chose East Nusa Tenggara, because it has criteria in accordance with the research objectives, namely Patawang Village, Umalulu District, East Sumba Regency, East Nusa Tenggara, where the staple food of most of the population is maize, and the sampling is done census, where the population is small so that all populations are taken as samples, namely 15 samples. The data analysis uses cost analysis, revenue analysis and income or profit analysis, while to test the hypothesis using: (1) multiple regression analysis, (2) multiple correlation analysis, and (3) partial correlation analysis. From the results of the discussion, it can be concluded that together the production factors of land area, seeds, fertilizer, medicines and labor affect the intercropping of corn and peanuts, and fertilizer is the production factor that most influences it. Suggestions for holding training in making good organic fertilizers, from livestock manure and can be an organic fertilizer business opportunity.

The article explores the revolt of Kazakh people against the Russian colonial policy which took place during World War I in 1916. There are analyzed the main reasons of the revolt, amongst whichsocio-economic factors as well as political factors are determined. In spite of the fact that the revolt of 1916, which had taken the form of National Liberation Revolution, generally was defeated, it causedthe growth of national self-determination, the increase in political participation and also formed certain experience of independent Kazakh people’s state-building. The revolt swept almost the whole territory of modern Kazakhstan and took an unprecedented scale and cruelty within the Russian empire.

Authors: Malik Fauzia , Kamal Anila
Published: June 2021

Background: Hoarding is a complex phenomenon that has received extensive attention in recent years. Most studies have been conducted in Western culture with few from other regions of world, which advocates need to explore the phenomenon in different cultural contexts. Objective of this study was to ascertain the perception of hoarding behavior among general population of Rawalpindi and Islamabad cities of Pakistan.Materials Methods: This exploratory qualitative study with grounded theory design was conducted in National Institute of Psychology, Quaid-i-Azam University, Islamabad, Pakistan from September 2015-May 2016. Sample of 46 subjects from different socio-cultural backgrounds was selected from otherwise healthy adult (20-60 years) population of Rawalpindi Islamabad cities of Pakistan by purposive sampling. A qualitative research methodology was employed to develop theoretical understanding of phenomenon. Focus group discussions with six groups were conducted to assess existence and phenomenology of hoarding behavior in present cultural framework. Data was analyzed using grounded theory method.Results: Findings of this study support current literature concerning the role of emotional attachments, associated positive and negative affect, certain personality characteristics and early experiences in development and maintenance of hoarding behavior. This study also confirms that material possessions are source of security by providing sense of identity to owner, and are considered symbols of status in society. Finally, it involves the account of socio-cultural aspects like status transformation, with resulting sense of competition, gender role, impact of material deprivation, and religious construction of phenomenon that emerged as more of culture specific elements in indigenous settings of Pakistan.Conclusion: This study addresses factors that underpin major themes in relation to form and prevalence of hoarding behavior in cultural context of Pakistan and discusses the findings in reference to the similarities and differences with extant literature.

Anne-Baba Tutum Ölçekleri (4-12 Yaş) adı verilen ölçüm aracının geçerlik ve güvenirlik çalışmaları neticesinde, oluşturulan temel yapıya uygun olarak ayrık yapılardan oluşan iki alt ölçek elde edilmiştir. Bu alt ölçeklerden biri istendik tutumları, diğeri istenmeyen tutumları yansıtan maddeleri içermiştir. İstendik Anne-Baba Tutum Ölçeği 14 madde, İstenmeyen Anne-Baba Tutum Ölçeği ise 13 maddeden oluşmuştur. Geçerlik kanıtı için cinsiyet ve çocuk yaşı dış ölçütüne göre analiz yapılmış; her iki ölçek puanlarının anne veya baba olma durumu değişkeninden manidar düzeyde etkilendiği, sahip olunan çocukların yaş grubuna göre ise değişiklik göstermediği saptanmıştır. Ölçeklerin Cronbach Alpha iç tutarlık katsayısı, İstendik Anne-Baba Tutum Ölçeği için 0,810 ve İstenmeyen Anne-Baba Tutum Ölçeği için 0,748 olarak hesaplanmıştır. Ayrı ayrı puanlanıp değerlendirilen ölçeklerden alınan yüksek puan, o ölçeğe ilişkin tutumun baskın olduğu şeklinde yorumlanmaktadır. Çalışma bulgularına göre her iki ölçeğin geçerlik ve güvenirliğinin yüksek olduğu, 4-12 yaş çocuğa sahip ebeveynlerin istendik ve istenmeyen çocuk yetiştirme tutumlarının saptanmasında kullanılabileceği düşünülmektedir.

In the early times the concept of Smart Cities have gained great popularity. The proposed Vision based parking system consist of an on-site development of an DOT NET FRAME WORK. This paper explains the approach to make easy to monitor and manage a parking area using a vision based automatic parking system. To find the available parking space in the most efficient manner and to avoid traffic congestion in the parking area, it is very necessity to manage the car parking. Nowadays by human personnel also we do manage, the car parking area and by using Sensors, we do monitor the availability of car park spaces. Even though in both we get to know the number of free parking spaces, but we don’t get the actual location available. The installation and maintenance cost of a Sensor based system varies as per the number of Sensors required. This paper shows that the performance has a more accuracy for a model of 4 space car park. The model indicated that the application of a vision based car parking management system would be able to detect and indicate the duration of car parking in the given space.

The purpose of this article is to provide a comprehensive literature review pertaining to real earnings management (REM) since 2006. It highlights the development of REM research, its antecedents, and consequences and indicates avenues for future research. A structured literature review of articles related to REM was carried out by investigating articles published during the period 2006-2018, with the exception of the recent articles. Although the literature has a fair share of studies on REM, they are predominately related to developed economies. Researchers in the future must examine the REM in the context of emerging economies such as India and China. It is observed that most of the existing research has emphasized the factors leading to REM or its consequences. However, there is a need for experimental research to understand the behavioral aspects of managers engaging in REM and the potential environmental interactions between these components. The findings of this study would provide valuable insights to researchers and scholars to engage in future earnings management research.

Herbal plants produce a diverse range of bioactive molecules, making them a rich source of different types of medicines. Thus, proper scientific evidence or assessment has become the criteria for the acceptance of herbal health claims. Plants-based antioxidants are now preferred to synthetic ones because of safety concerns. There is an increasing interest in natural antioxidants e.g. Polyphenols, present in medicinal and dietary plants, which might help prevent oxidative damage. Natural antioxidant increases the antioxidant capacity of plasma and reduces the risk of disease. As such developing a polyhedral formulation will definitely produce a synergistic effect as needed comparable to standard drugs that are available in the market all over the world. The polyherbal formulation, which has a combination of medicinal herbs such as Zingiber officinale (sukku), Nigella sativa (karunjeeragam), Plectranthus amboinicus (karpooravalli), Pipeer cubeba (Vaal melagu), Trigonella foenum graecum (venthayam) powder was tested for its an antioxidant activity phenolic and alkaloid contents in vitro. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the In-vitro antioxidant phenolic and alkaloid content of polyherbal formulation and its application for treating life-threatening diseases such as cancer, cardiac disease, and diabetes mellitus. In this paper, we report the result of such studies in order to orient future investigations towards the finding of new, potent safe, and easily available food antioxidants.
Ekonomske odredbe Versajskog mirovnog ugovora: preispitivanje nakon jednog veka
Authors: Begović Boris
Published: June 2021

Contrary to widespread belief, reparations imposed on Germany by the economic provisions of the Treaty of Versailles did not undermine the German economy, nor push it into a vicious cycle of crises and backwardness, from which emerged National Socialism and Adolf Hitler’s power takeover. In the first decade after the conclusion of the Treaty of Versailles, Germany’s economy prospered, with high growth rates. In the same decade, German National Socialists managed to win over only a negligible segment of the constituency, and Franco-German relations even improved. The turn took place with the Great Depression, which was, however, not related to the Treaty of Versailles whatsoever. Thus, it is a myth that the Treaty, predominantly through its economic provisions, led to the Second World War. The shortcomings of the Treaty of Versailles, with regard to providing sustainable peace in Europe, should be sought in the framework of the outcome of the First World War, which ended in an armistice, not German surrender. It was only after the Second World War that German unconditional surrender, full occupation of the country and dismemberment of German militarism created the grounds for political stability and sustainable peace in Europe.
Accidental Magnet Ingestion in A Toddler: A Diagnostic Dilemma
Authors: Ng Benjamin Wei Liang , Ooi Wei Keong , Ramanathan Prahalad , Toh Teck Hock
Published: June 2021

Foreign body ingestion is common in children. Ingestion of foreign bodies with magnetic properties are less common, but can be associated with more severe complication, especially involving multiple magnets. We present a 16-month-old boy with developmental delay who developed small bowel perforation following multiple magnet ingestion.  He had three days history of vomiting and abdominal distension associated with pain, suggestive of an acute intestinal obstruction. Abdominal imaging confirmed foreign body ingestion, and an exploratory laparotomy revealed two magnets attracted across the intestinal lining with resultant intestinal obstruction and perforation. Surgical removal of the magnets and the necrotic bowel tissue was complicated by post-operative wound dehiscence. After secondary suturing, the child subsequently made a complete recovery. We discuss the diagnostic dilemma in multiple magnet ingestion along with the importance of early recognition and prompt management due to the risk of more severe gastrointestinal complication associated with delayed intervention.
