Kozmetik Ürün Reklamlarına Yönelik Şüpheciliğin Algılanan Risk Üzerindeki Etkisini Belirlemeye Yönelik Bir Araştırma(A Study to Determine the Effect of Skepticism towards Cosmetic Product Advertising on Perceived Risk)
Authors: Akçay Soydemir Gamze
Published: June 2022

Amaç -Kozmetik ürünler, genellikle güzel görünmek ve beğenilmek için kullanılmakta ve bu ürünlere yönelik talep giderek artmaktadır. Bu bilinçle üretilen reklamlar ise sıklıkla abartılı vaatler ve görseller içermektedir. Bu durumun, kozmetik ürün reklamlarına yönelik şüpheci tutumları beraberinde getirdiği ve şüpheciliğin, tüketicilerin satın alma kararına ilişkin risk algılarını arttırdığı düşünülmektedir. Literatürde, şüphecilik ve algılanan risk arasındaki ilişkiyi araştıran kısıtlı sayıda çalışma bulunmaktadır. Ancak, kozmetik ürün reklamlarına yönelik şüphecilik ile algılanan risk arasındaki ilişki henüz araştırılmamıştır. Dolayısıyla bu çalışma, kozmetik ürün reklamlarına yönelik şüpheciliğin kozmetik ürün satın alma sürecinde algılanan risk üzerindeki etkisini ortaya koymayı amaçlamaktadır.Yöntem -Bursa ilindeki tüketiciler üzerinde gerçekleştirilen araştırmada, kolayda örnekleme yöntemi kullanılmış ve araştırma verileri çevrimiçi anket yöntemiyle toplanmıştır. Araştırma verilerinin analizi, yapısal eşitlik modellemesi (YEM) yöntemiyle gerçekleştirilmiştir.Bulgular -Araştırma sonucunda, kozmetik ürün reklamlarına yönelik şüpheciliğin algılanan finansal risk, algılanan performans riski, algılanan zaman riski, algılanan fiziksel risk ve algılanan sosyal risk üzerinde anlamlı ve pozitif etkiye sahip olduğu, algılanan psikolojik risk üzerinde ise anlamlı bir etki göstermediği bulunmuştur. Tartışma -Bu araştırma, tüketicilerin finansal, performans, zaman, fiziksel ve sosyal risk algılarının kozmetik ürün reklamlarına yönelik şüphecilikten etkilendiğini ortaya koyarak pazarlama literatürüne katkıda bulunmaktadır. Diğer taraftan, elde edilen bulgularınşüpheciliğin önlenmesi ve tüketicilerin şüpheciliğinden kaynaklanan risk algılarının azaltılması açısından kozmetik ürün sektöründe faaliyet gösteren işletmelere ve reklamcılara fayda sağlayacağı düşünülmektedir.

New insights of engineering plant exosome-like nanovesicles as a nanoplatform for therapeutics and drug delivery
Authors: Shinge Shafiu A. Umar , Xiao Yin , Xia Jiang , Liang Yujie , Duan Li
Published: June 2022

Plant exosome-like nanovesicles (PELNVs) are membrane-encapsulated nanostructures released from cells into their surroundings. PELNVs have an important role in intercellular and interspecies communication in all three domains of life. They act as protective compartments for the long-distance transit of signal molecules like proteins, nucleic acids, lipids, and other metabolites. A range of plants and vegetables can emit PELNVs. The importance of PELNVs in interspecies communication stems from their concentration in biomolecules (lipids, proteins, and miRNAs), lack of toxicity, ease of internalization by cells, and anti-inflammatory, immune-modulatory, and regenerative characteristics. PELNVs derived from numerous fruits and vegetables are biocompatible, biodegradable, and abundant in various plant species. Moreover, their convincing physicochemical characteristics underpin their modulative role in physiological and pathological processes, all of which have fueled speculation that these nanovesicles could be particularly adept at developing future-generation bio-therapeutic platforms. The goal of this review was not only to present an overview of the identified roles of PELNVs in physiology and pathology, but also to provide new insight toward their engineering for effective therapeutics and drug delivery nanoplatforms, a clue for future direction to the ongoing research gaps.

Published: June 2022

China's overall victory in the fight against poverty is a great miracle in human anti-poverty history. Even so, from the perspective of anti-poverty and poverty governance, even though China's per capita income level has reached the standard of high-income countries as defined by the World Bank, and efforts have been made to overcome the "threshold effect", urban-rural and regional disparities still exist, and China is still a developing country. Therefore, the difficulty of anti-poverty and poverty management will remain in the future. The problem of poverty will be multidimensional, multi-subject, complex, long-term, and systematic. Therefore, the construction of an open, synergistic and sustainable anti-poverty ecosystem with multiple subjects will help anti-poverty and poverty governance to be able to change from super-regular to regular and help the continuation and continuous optimization of the big poverty alleviation pattern. This paper combines the user experience of China's anti-poverty attack with the specific requirements of rural revitalization and proposes policy recommendations for consolidating the results of the anti-poverty attack and implementing rural revitalization.

This paper is a literature review of Al-Farābi's thoughts on the urgency of the value of moderation in the discourse of sustainable development in Indonesia which is studied through his magnumopus entitled "Madīnah Al-Fāḍilah". By using a descriptive-analytical approach, it is concluded that the value of moderation is the main basis for understanding the role and existence of individuals to actualize a variety of sustainable development through the implementation of the 4 pillars of moderation in Al-Farābi's view, namely unity, deliberation, mutual cooperation, and character. The four pillars of moderation in Al-Farābi's view seek to build the closeness of each individual in social life, in order to discuss solving various problems that hinder the factors of sustainable development. The implementation of the 4 pillars of moderation in Al-Farābi's view can be realized through the existence of a leader as an existence that influences the paradigm and behavior of people in a region. That is, leaders are here to unite people of various groups to realize their role and position in order to optimize the value of moderation as the basis for sustainable development in reality. The final result of this paper is to understand the application of Al-Farābi's value of moderation in welcoming sustainable development in Indonesia.

Monte Carlo-based 3D surface point cloud volume estimation by exploding local cubes faces
Authors: Covre Nicola , Luchetti Alessandro , Lancini Matteo , Pasinetti Simone , Bertolazzi Enrico , De Cecco Mariolino
Published: June 2022

This article proposes a state-of-the-art algorithm for estimating the 3D volume enclosed in a surface point cloud via a modified extension of the Monte Carlo integration approach. The algorithm consists of a pre-processing of the surface point cloud, a sequential generation of points managed by an affiliation criterion, and the final computation of the volume. The pre-processing phase allows a spatial re-orientation of the original point cloud, the evaluation of the homogeneity of its points distribution, and its enclosure inside a rectangular parallelepiped of known volume. The affiliation criterion using the explosion of cube faces is the core of the algorithm, handles the sequential generation of points, and proposes the effective extension of the traditional Monte Carlo method by introducing its applicability to the discrete domains. Finally, the final computation estimates the volume as a function of the total amount of generated points, the portion enclosed within the surface point cloud, and the parallelepiped volume. The developed method proves to be accurate with surface point clouds of both convex and concave solids reporting an average percentage error of less than 7 %. It also shows considerable versatility in handling clouds with sparse, homogeneous, and sometimes even missing points distributions. A performance analysis is presented by testing the algorithm on both surface point clouds obtained from meshes of virtual objects as well as from real objects reconstructed using reverse engineering techniques.

Published: June 2022

Sterilization of medical equipment in isolation wards is essential to prevent the transmission of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS–CoV-2) infection. Particularly, the radiographic console of portable X-ray machines requires frequent disinfection because it is regularly moved; this requires considerable infection control effort as the number of patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) increases. To evaluate the application of a system facilitating noncontact operation of radiographic consoles for patients with COVID-19 to reduce the need for frequent disinfection. We developed a noncontact operation system for radiographic consoles that used a common eye tracker. We compared calibration errors between with and without face shield conditions. Moreover, the use of console operation among 41 participants was investigated. The calibration error of the eye tracker between with and without face shield conditions did not significantly differ. All (n = 41) observers completed the console operation. Pearson’s correlation coefficient analysis showed a strong correlation (r = 0.92, P < 0.001) between the average operation time and the average number of misoperations. Our system that used an eye tracker can be applied even if the operator uses a face shield. Thus, its application is important in preventing the transmission of infection.

Introduction. Aggressive behavior of children and adolescents in the educational environment should be assessed differentially depending on the nature of its manifestation and the age of the student. Extreme variants of aggression, expressed in attacks on educational institutions, are multifactorial in nature and combine auto- and hetero-aggressive tendencies.

Goal. Identifying medical and psychological indicators of vulnerabilities in adolescents, warning of the possibility of their auto- and hetero-aggressive behavior, also in the educational environment.

Material and methods. Qualitative and descriptive analysis of the empirical material of complex forensic psychological and psychiatric examinations of minors with suicidal and hetero-aggressive behavior.

Results. Behavioral indicators and typological psychological features inherent in this category of adolescents are described. The order of work of specialists (teachers, school and clinical psychologists, social educators, psychiatrists) with adolescents displaying these behaviors is presented. Particular attention is paid to the clinical manifestations of mental disorders that can be found in such adolescents.

Conclusions. Prevention of auto- and hetero-aggressive behavior of adolescents in the educational environment, starting with the fixation of described behavioral indicators, requires the consistent involvement of various specialists in work with adolescents and their interdisciplinary and interdepartmental interaction.
Computer Vision Technology Monitors Safety Zones and Automates Drillpipe Tally
Authors: Carpenter Chris
Published: June 2022

This article, written by JPT Technology Editor Chris Carpenter, contains highlights of paper SPE 208764, “A Better Set of Eyes: Computer Vision Technology To Monitor Safety Zones and Automate Drillpipe Tally,” by Douglas Watson, Helmerich and Payne; Kenneth Morton, CoVAR; and Sarah Kern, SPE, Helmerich and Payne, et al. The paper has not been peer reviewed.

An indispensable item for every roughneck is the tally book, used to measure and count the drillpipe entering and exiting the wellbore. Traditional manual entry is prone to error, leading to potential mistakes in the calculated drilling depth and poorly sequenced lithologies. Computer vision technology has shown promise in other industries with its ability to automate similar recognition and counting tasks. A dual-use system has been developed in which the same cameras for pipe counting can be used for red-zone-entry detection, potentially enhance the safety of the drilling process.

A Dual-Use System: Monitor Safety Zones and Automate Drillpipe Tally

Drilling-depth measurement commonly is performed using the drillpipe itself, and it happens in two places. It is first measured using a tape measure or pipe strap as the pipe lies on the pipe delivery system (PDS) rack before it is loaded into the stands. Then, the pipe segments are counted above the rig floor as the pipes enter and exit the borehole. This count, combined with the pipe-tally measurements, is used to determine the depth of the hole. These two work locations—ground-level PDS and rig floor—also are areas where existing procedures are in place to reduce the likelihood of serious injury.

In the case of the PDS area, where pipe lengths are measured, it is dangerous to enter any time the PDS is in operation. This dangerous red zone is defined as 45 ft on each side of the PDS.

Numerous industry advances over the years have made the area safer. These methods, including buffer zones (creating an understood area not to be entered or to be avoided for personal safety) and barricades (a physical block or reminder to manage entry into a high-risk buffer zone), communicate visually the potential for hazardous situations.

While proper inspection, planning, and buffer-zone and barricade procedure development does communicate the safety-critical nature of the PDS environment, the potential remains for dropped-object events and tubular-handling events that can cause significant injuries or fatalities.
Water Imbibition and Oil Recovery in Shale: Dynamics and Mechanisms Using Integrated Centimeter-to-Nanometer-Scale Imaging
Authors: Peng Sheng , LaManna Jacob , Periwal Priyanka , Shevchenko Pavel
Published: June 2022

Water imbibition, and the associated oil displacement, is an important process in shale oil reservoirs after hydraulic fracturing and in water-based enhanced oil recovery (EOR). Current techniques for water imbibition measurement are mostly “black-box”-type methods. A more explicit understanding of the water imbibition/oil recovery dynamics and geological controls is in demand. In this paper, a multiscale imaging technique that covers centimeter to nanometer scale (i.e., core to pore scale), integrating neutron radiography, microcomputed tomography (micro-CT), and scanning electron microscope (SEM) is applied to investigate the water imbibition depth and rate and the cause of heterogeneity of imbibition in shale samples. The dynamic processes of water imbibition in the 1-in. (25.4-mm) core sample were explicitly demonstrated, and the imbibition along the matrix and imbibition through microfractures are distinguished through neutron radiography image analysis. The causes of observed imbibition heterogeneity were further investigated through micro-CT and SEM image analysis for 1.5-mm diameter miniplug samples from different laminas of the 1-in. core samples. Imbibition depth and rate were calculated on the basis of image analysis as well. Estimation of oil recovery through water imbibition in shale matrix was performed for an example shale field. This innovative and integrated multiscale imaging technique provides a “white/gray-box” method to understand water imbibition and water-oil displacement in shale. The wide span of the length scale (from centimeter to nanometer) of this technique enables a more comprehensive, accurate, and specific understanding of both the core-scale dynamics and pore-scale mechanisms of water imbibition, oil recovery, and matrix-fracture interaction.

A Very Severe Cyclonic Storm “Yaas” developed over the Bay of Bengal (BoB) on May 23, 2021, and crossed over the Odisha coast on May 26 with maximum sustained wind speed of 75 kts. Herein, a pathway has been developed and exemplified for ‘Yaas’ through three-stage cyclone-induced hazard tracking. Days before the cyclone formation, Cyclone Genesis Potential Parameter, Sea Surface Temperature (SST) (> 30 0C) and Tropical Cyclone Heat Potential (anomaly of 40–80 kJ/cm2) indicated a strong possibility of cyclogenesis in the BoB. A Lagrangian Advection Model used for its track prediction with 24-hour lead-time provided an accuracy of ~ 19 km and ~ 6 hour in its landfall location and time. Further, intensity prediction was done using Numerical Weather Prediction model. Geostationary Satellites, INSAT-3D/3DR, were used to visualise cyclone structure. Passing of cyclone had its reverbarations in oceans, which are observed in SST drop of ~ 3o C, salinity and density increase by ~ 1 psu and ~ 2 Kg/m3, respectively. During the period, 23–26 May 2021, the Ekman suction velocity and chlorophyll concentration were found significantly high at ~ 5m/day and > 0.5 mg/m3, respectively. Forecast of storm surge was found to be between 3.5-4 m at coastal locations. Significant wave height was found to be 5.5 to 9.2 m. The coastal inundation forecast for 24 May 2021 provided its quantitative maximum inland extent. Finally, loss of the crop, fishery and forest areas by strong winds and inundation/ingress of saline water associated with storm surge were examined using SAR and optical data.

Background: Colonially imposed jurisdictional boundaries that have little meaning to Indigenous peoples in Canada may confound tuberculosis (TB) prevention and care activities. This study explores how inter-jurisdictional mobility and the current accommodation of mobility through policies and programming sustain a regional TB epidemic in northwestern Saskatchewan, and northeastern Alberta. Methods: A qualitative instrumental case study was performed using a community based participatory approach. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with First Nations peoples from a high-incidence community in Canada including community-based healthcare workers. These interview data are presented in the context of a multi-level document analysis of TB program guidelines. Results: The location of the community, and related lack of access to employment, services and care, necessitates mobility across jurisdictional boundaries. There are currently no formal federal or provincial guidelines in place to accommodate highly mobile patients and clients within and across provincial TB prevention and care programs. As a result, locally developed community-based protocols, and related ad-hoc strategies ensure continuity of care. Conclusion: Indigenous peoples living in remote communities face unique push/pull factors that motivate mobility. When these motivations exist in communities with increased risk of contagion by communicable infectious pathogens such as TB, public health risks extend into increasingly large areas with competing jurisdictional authority. Such mobility poses several threats to TB elimination. We have identified a gap in TB services to systematically accommodate mobility, with specific implications for Indigenous peoples and reconciliation. We recommend clearly defined communication paths and inter-jurisdictional coordination to ensure maintenance of care for mobile populations.

Authors: Alzahrani Hissah
Published: June 2022

The cluster analysis is dividing the individuals into clusters or groups. This job is valuable and helpful to provide facts and information about individuals. Here in this paper we proposed the cluster analysis for special model. It is the connected model for repeated measures called longitudinal and survival for individuals or patients. The statistical analysis of the connected model from the longitudinal and survival datasets becoming popular recently because it comes together in many medical applications. Here in this study, we utilized two statistical methods, cluster analysis and, connect the two models from longitudinal and survival data. It is benecial since it gather the information from the repeated measurements, and survival responses. The shared random eect term is used joint multivariate Gaussian distribution (longitudinal) and Cox proportional hazard model (survival)for the same patients. Then, the pseudo-liklihood algorithm (clustering methodology) is performed for the joint model to distinguish the clusters or groups of patents. The application is HIV patients dataset with CD4+ counts responses and time to death (survival data) with some independent variables as gender and drug treatments. We conducted the clustering for S=2, and estimate the parameters from the longitudinal and survival models with and without clustering, and compare the estimations. Our results showed the generated clusters are dierent from each other, the estimation parameters be located around the original estimations (without clustering). It is helpful methodology to identify distinct groups or clusters from population. Finally, There is a big need for this type of application in medical fields.

Sleep disruption is highly associated with the pathogenesis and progression of a wild range of psychiatric disorders. Furthermore, appreciable evidence shows that experimental sleep deprivation (SD) on humans and rodents evokes anomalies in the dopaminergic (DA) signaling, which are also implicated in the development of psychiatric illnesses such as schizophrenia or substance abuse. Since adolescence is a vital period for the maturation of the DA system as well as the occurrence of mental disorders, the present studies aimed to investigate the impacts of SD on the DA system of adolescent mice. We found that 72 h SD elicited a hyperdopaminergic status, with increased sensitivity to the novel environment and Amphetamine (Amph) challenge. Also, altered neuronal activity and expression of striatal DA receptors were noticed in the SD mice. Moreover, 72 h SD influenced the immune status in the striatum, with reduced microglial phagocytic capacity, primed microglial activation, and neuroinflammation. The abnormal neuronal and microglial activity were putatively provoked by the enhanced corticotrophin-releasing factor (CRF) signaling and sensitivity during the SD period. Together, our findings demonstrated the consequences of SD in adolescents including aberrant neuroendocrine, DA system, and inflammatory status. Sleep insufficiency is a risk factor for the aberration and neuropathology of psychiatric disorders.

A fifty-year study of land cover changes in Ghana’s south-eastern region is conducted to identify major shifts and new avenues for justifiable growth and development. A combination of early studies and geospatial technology was adapted to analyse the data. Our study investigated the relationship between some given variables using autocorrelation and geoinformatics. Socio-political and economic factors have caused a massive shift in the land cover through growth in human settlements, migration, the extensiveness of agriculture, poverty, unregulated and unreported logging of trees, small-scale mining intensification, and weak governance systems. We discovered that the natural vegetation had dramatically reduced (-52.01%), whilst built-up (+ 406.05%), farmlands/shrubs (+ 86.47%), and waterbodies (+ 47.35) were faced with a drastic increase. Class contribution rates show built environment massively influenced land modification, compared to other surveyed classes. In light of the major influences observed, it can be concluded that dynamics in land-use systems caused a substantial drift in local temperature. Temperature and built-up index correlated strongly (R2 = 0.959, p < .0001), whilst depicting a negative association against vegetation (R2 = 0.959, p < .0001) and water-index (R2 = 0.958, p < .0001). Variance assessment proved that the linear correlation model for the understudied elements is appropriate. The study provides policy guidance and basic research support to key proponents and practitioners in addressing undesirable consequences, caused by urbanization, public behaviour or lifestyles, and institutional failures.

Determining emerging trends of different psychiatric disorders among patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection and subsequent hospitalization by psychiatric disorder history is important to guide targeted public health priorities. This study used electronic health records among patients in New York derived from the largest health information exchange in the US and estimated the prevalence of psychiatric between March 2020 to August 2021. During the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, mood disorders were the most prevalent among hospitalized COVID-19 patients, whereas substance use disorders increased significantly among patients without prior psychiatric diseases. Mood disorders, anxiety disorders and psychosis increased by 488.0% (from 2.5–14.7%), 373.2% (from 2.6–12.3%) 232.4% (from 3.7–12.3%) from February to August 2021 among COVID-19 negative patients. This study is the first to address the differential trends in psychiatric disorders over COVID-19 pandemic. Tailored treatment and policies should be developed that account for psychiatry history.

Background: Interleukin-1 receptor accessory protein (IL-1RAP) is one of the most promising therapeutic targets proposed for myeloid leukemia. Antibodies (Abs) specific to IL-1RAP could be valuable tools for targeted therapy of this lethal malignancy. This study is about the preparation of a difficult-to-produce single-chain variable fragment (scFv) construct against membrane-bound isoform of human IL-1RAP using Escherichia coli (E. coli).Methods: Different approaches were examined for refolding and characterization of the scFv. Binding activities of antibody fragments were comparatively evaluated using cell-based enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Homogeneity and secondary structure of selected scFv preparation were analyzed using analytical size exclusion chromatography (SEC) and circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy, respectively. The activity of the selected preparation was evaluated after long-term storage, repeated freeze-thaw cycles, or following incubation with normal and leukemic serum. The probable anti-proliferation activity against leukemic cells was also evaluated.Results: Strategies for soluble expression of the scFv failed. Even with the help of Trx, ≥98% of proteins were expressed as inclusion bodies (IBs). Among three different refolding methods, the highest recovery rate was obtained from the dilution method (11.2%). Trx-tag substantially enhanced the expression level (˃1.8-fold), recovery rate (˃1.6-fold), and binding activity (˃2.6-fold increase in absorbance450nm). The produced scFv exhibited expected secondary structure as well as acceptable bio-functionality, homogeneity, and stability.Conclusion: We were able to produce ˃25 mg/L culture functional and stable anti-IL-1RAP scFv via recovering IBs by pulse dilution procedure. The produced scFv as a useful targeting agent could be used in scheming new therapeutics or diagnostics for myeloid malignancies.
