Authors: Juttukonda Manvitha , Shyam N.D.V.N , Konda Paremala , Fatima Fiza , Hareesh D.
Published: November 2024

To deal with oral pathologies, microscopic slide evaluation routine for histopathology reporting, which is regarded as the
gold standard is seen to be facing hindrances with inter and intra-observer variabilities leading to decreased
accuracies in diagnosis, influencing the assessment of patient risk stratification especially referring to Oral potentially
malignant disorders (OPMDs), oral epithelial dysplasias (OEDs) and oral malignancies (like Oral squamous cell
carcinomas (OSCCs)). Also, the aging population, rising patient volume, short fall of oral pathologists were inflating the
burden of cases, and the time taking process for certain less severe cases might delay the diagnosis of complex ones
having impact on their outcome. This shows the necessity of an accompaniment to the regular oral histopathology
diagnosis. Artificial Intelligence (AI), an eminent technological advancement holding aloft with its application in a wide
range of fields including health industry, could be the one. AI comprises machine learning, deep learning, neural
networks which when trained using proper set of algorithms facilitates histopathological diagnosis with an enhanced
accuracy and can stand as a workable solution to the deficiencies mentioned above. This artificial intelligence is capable
of differentiating between benign and malignant lesions, grading of these lesions, cytological smear analysis,
identifying lymph node micrometastasis, genetic abnormalities, assessing prognosis, educational purpose, in a keen
and speedy way with its operation under pathologist's supervision. The datasets (histopathology images) are obtained
employing whole slide scanners. Expensive setup, black box nature, data storage and bias, technical assistance, ethical
and patient privacy issues are associated with its application. The switch to blending oral histopathology diagnosis with
artificial intelligence (AI) will be a synergistic effect giving the output by an “Augmented intelligence”, henceforth
assisting oral pathologists and taking the field ahead. Despite AI's potential to revolutionize histopathology diagnostics,
refinements are still obligatory for its implementation in real-world practice, which is anticipated probably to occur in
near future.

Published: November 2024

There are many neurological complications of HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus). One of the most common
neurological manifestations is PN (peripheral neuropathy).With the advent of ART (Anti-retroviral therapy) the life span
of the HIV patients is increasing,at the same time with the increasing duration of the disease,the prevalence of PN is also
increasing. It could be due to various causes such as secondary to malnutrition, increasing age, associated
comorbidities,opportunistic infections and their therapy,ART and HIV itself.However,HIV as an independent factor of
peripheral neuropathy is the least studied area.Our study was undertaken to study the electrophysiological types of PN
in treatment naïve HIV individuals and its correlation with CD4 count. Thus, our study helps to increase the existing
knowledge on the effects of HIV virus on the nervous system in patients with low CD4 counts.

Did sexist voters bring Italy its first female Prime Minister?
Authors: Bertolotti Mauro , Picciafoco Laura , Catellani Patrizia
Published: November 2024

We examined the role of hostile sexism in vote at the 2022 general election in Italy, where the largest among center-right parties was led by a woman, Giorgia Meloni. We analyzed data from a sample of 1635 voters who participated in the 2022 ITANES survey. Hostile sexism was associated with male gender, lower education, higher religiosity, and right-wing orientation. As to vote choice, hostile sexism was positively associated with vote for Brothers of Italy and the other center-right parties. However, such association was significantly moderated by the evaluation of Giorgia Meloni, and disappeared among voters with a positive evaluation of her. Discussion focusses on the interplay between gender-related attitudes and candidate-based heuristics in vote choice.
The market for non-alcoholic wine in Germany – Structural analysis and implications for competitive strategies
Authors: Schulz Frederik Nikolai , Hanf Jon H.
Published: November 2024

Non-alcoholic wines have become increasingly important in recent years in Germany. A constant stream of new market players and products is evidence of a dynamic market development and for the creation of a new branch in the highly competitive wine sector. Thus, the central aim of this article is to provide a first analysis of the structure of the German market for non-alcoholic wines in order to derive implications for industry competition and possible competitive strategies of individual market participants. An explorative research approach has been applied including in-depth interviews with experts from various companies along the value chain (n=24). Results show that competition in the market for non-alcoholic wines must be regarded as dynamic due to strong external market forces. A high risk of new companies entering the market can be emphasised as well as the high bargaining power of the retail and a high threat of substitutes. Within the industry, however, rivalry is currently con-sidered to be low, resulting in low profitability and a tendency towards high fluctuation of market participants. With regard to possible competitive strategies it becomes clear that especially for smaller wineries, a long-term successful survival within the market can only be realised with strong differentiation. Ultimately, the transfer of the products into an own category which departs from the classic image of non-alcoholic wine represents a promising approach in order to address entirely new target groups.

Published: November 2024

One of the main goals in the establishment of Geographical Indications (GIs) for European agri-food products was to help foster development in rural communities. Given the cultural and economic importance of wine production in Italy, this paper aims to understand how a wine GI in the Umbria region may have influenced local socio-economic development and, if so, its perceived magnitude among local stakeholders. By conducting semi-structured interviews and carrying out a qualitative analysis through the grounded theory model, results indicate a mirroring ascent, during the last three decades, in the pursuit of a unique identity, for both the territory and the wine product.
Influence of information about fungus-resistant grape varieties on hedonic ratings by consumers – a central location test in Germany
Authors: Kiefer Christoph , Szolnoki Gergely
Published: November 2024

As the wine industry faces increasing challenges from grapevine diseases, Fungus-Resistant Grape Varieties (FRGVs) offer a promising solution for sustainable production. To evaluate their market potential, our study investigates how knowledge of FRGVs affects consumer hedonic quality assessments and willingness to pay for wines produced from these innovative varieties compared to those made from conventional grape varieties. The study utilises data from a central location test conducted with 244 consumers in Germany featuring 8 different wines. The sample was carefully selected to ensure representativeness across gender, age and frequency of wine consumption. The data were analysed using descriptive and multivariate statistical techniques. The results indicate that consumers rate the hedonic quality and willingness to pay for wines made from FRGVs similarly to wines produced from conventional grape varieties when tasted without any prior information about the FRGVs in viticulture. However, providing consumers with information prior to tasting results in a positive effect on their assessment of hedonic quality and willingness to pay for wines made from FRGVs. By offering information about the positive effects of resistant grapes in viticulture, it is possible to enhance consumer acceptance and increase their willingness to pay for wines from FRGVs.
State of the International Wine Markets in 2023. The wine market at a crossroads: Temporary or structural challenges?
Authors: Mueller Loose Simone , Del Rey Rafael
Published: November 2024

The global wine trade experienced a decline in volume and value in 2023 due to reduced real incomes, post-pandemic overstocking, and shifting consumer preferences. Non-sparkling red wines were more affected than sparkling wines, white wines and wines in bag-in-box formats, with notable declines in non-sparkling bottled wine imports across major markets. Despite this, an exceptionally low wine harvest in 2023 prevented a global oversupply. Regionally, some countries and appellations face an imbalance where grape supply exceeds demand due to misalignment with current consumption trends. The critical question for the wine sector is whether these declines are due to temporary factors, structural changes, or a combination of both. Excessive inventories accumulated in the post-pandemic period suggest a temporary decline in trade. However, there are growing concerns about changing consumption habits, particularly among younger consumers in Europe and the US. The relative influence of these factors remains uncertain. Premium wines still enjoy demand among traditional aficionados, but there is a clear shift in consumer preferences towards more refreshing products, including white wines, sparkling wines, and low-alcohol wines. To address these challenges, the wine industry must innovate and adapt its regulatory framework to support consumer-oriented innovation and diversified portfolios. The global wine industry is at a pivotal transition point, requiring a strategic response to evolving consumer preferences to maintain its market position.

Published: November 2024

Este artigo visa revisar a literatura médica atual sobre a eficácia e os resultados do tratamento da hidrocefalia obstrutiva por meio de dois procedimentos cirúrgicos: a ventriculostomia endoscópica do terceiro ventrículo (ETV) e o shunt ventriculoperitoneal (VP). A hidrocefalia obstrutiva é uma condição caracterizada pelo acúmulo excessivo de líquido cefalorraquidiano (LCR) nos ventrículos cerebrais, resultando em aumento da pressão intracraniana e comprometimento neurológico. A escolha entre ETV e VP tem gerado debate considerável entre os neurocirurgiões, com cada técnica apresentando vantagens e desvantagens. Utilizamos como motores de busca os indexadores Google Scholar, Scopus e Web of Science, a fim de selecionar artigos relevantes por meio das palavras-chave “Ventriculostomia endoscópica, Shunt ventriculoperitoneal, Hidrocefalia obstrutiva”. Os critérios de inclusão foram artigos publicados nos últimos 20 anos que apresentaram comparações diretas entre os dois procedimentos. Através da análise dos dados, concluímos que a ETV oferece resultados superiores em termos de taxas de falha e necessidade de reoperações quando comparada ao VP, especialmente em pacientes com hidrocefalia idiopática. Este estudo busca contribuir para a discussão sobre a escolha do tratamento mais apropriado para essa condição, com base em evidências recentes.

UV LED Printing Device for PCB Fabrication
Authors: Wan Mahmud Wan Azizah , Mohd Noor Nor Farahwahida , Muhamood Siti Norazma
Published: November 2024

Photolithography is commonly used to fabricate printed circuit boards (PCBs) in micromanufacturing. It involves UV exposure to pattern portions of a thin film of a substrate before a geometric design is transferred from a photo mask to a light-sensitive substance (photoresist) on the substrate using light. Conventionally, metal halide lamps and UV fluorescent bulbs make up most of the exposure systems during photolithography. However, both systems are highly costly in educational establishments and consume high electrical energy. Moreover, they also have too broad UV radiation and are not appropriate for the sizes of PCBs that need to be mounted on the apparatus. Hence, this innovation aims to create a low-cost, portable UV exposure system that works well in educational settings by utilizing LED illumination technology.  In order to manage time, relay, and LCD, these UV LED exposures were built using a combined LED circuit with a controller board. With a dimension of 120 mm by 190 mm and 3 mm LEDs, the UV LED circuit generates a wavelength of 400 to 405 mm for the UV exposure system. Due to its powerful and flexible design capabilities, LED lighting may be integrated in any shape to create highly efficient illumination. The testing result shows that LED lights have higher application efficiency due to its ability to concentrate light in one area. Therefore, well-designed LED illumination systems may deliver light to the intended spot more effectively. They also brighten up instantly when powered on and can be turned on and off repeatedly. This research has highlighted the advantages of LEDs for infrastructure projects, such as exposure systems, which could be further developed for future technology.

This study is concerned with the problems encountered by EFL University students in translating English proverbs into Arabic. The main hypothesis of the study is that there is a wide range of problems posed to Arab EFL University students and translators when rendering English proverbs. Examining such problems is the precept aim of the study. It also aims to answer these questions 1- What are the appropriate strategies for solving the problems of translating proverbs? 2- Why do some students lack knowledge about proverbs? 3- Why do great orators’ resort to proverbs and idioms in their speech? A translation test was conducted to identify types of errors and translation mistakes made by EFL students and translators, besides a questionnaire. The results revealed that there are in fact many problems encountered by EFL students and translators when dealing with English proverbs. The most important aspect of these problems is the failure to achieve the natural equivalents of such proverbs. Clearly, erroneous errors such as literal translation, wrong translation minimizing proverbs to sense and breaching of the Arabic language system along with hidden erroneous errors such as using paraphrasing and using dialects, were the major reasons behind the failure of producing the appropriate equivalents for the proverbs listed in the translation test.

Extravaganza might refer to something very elaborate and spectacular theatrical production. It also can mean an unlimited expression of one’s ideas, thoughts put in through an appropriate mix of style and structure more so by the elements of burlesque or parody. Similarly a horseplay is a type of rough play wherein people push and hit each or behave in a silly way while a farce is defined as something very absurd, ridiculous plots, exaggerated characters and over-the-top situations for comic effect. J.M. Synge’s play The playboy of the Western World offers a fascinating insight into the above-mentioned elements along with the romanticization of heroism and violence. The main purpose of this work is to look into these aspects in the contemporary Indian sociocultural-political landscape where diverse forces are at work. Deploying some of the features of this Irish play, this study seeks to answer whether there were any ‘playboys’ in the Indian political scenario and if so, to what extent does it had an impact on the people. What are the significant horseplay type situations in the real life of Indians during the past decade? Were there any farcical type settings in the Indian context? Detailed probes over a long period of time in the Indian firmament revealed some intriguing aspects of extravaganza, farce and horseplay at work. On the flipside of it, one can find a surfeit of Christy Mahon’s features personified via many people ranging from the Indian prime minister to perceived saints especially after 2014.
