Published: November 2024

Large megalopolises are experiencing problems with corporate administration due to their expanding populations. The metro political road network regulation also has to be continuously observed, expanded, and modernized. We provide a sophisticated car tracking system with tape recording for surveillance. The suggested system combines neural networks and image-based dogging. To track automobiles, use the You Only Look Once (YOLOv7) method. We used several datasets to train the suggested algorithm. By adopting a Mobile Nets configuration, the YOLOv7's skeleton is altered. Also, its anchor boxes are changed so that they may be trained to recognize vehicle items. In meantime, further post-processing techniques are used to confirm the bounding box that has been found. It was confirmed after extensive testing and analysis that using the suggested technique in a vehicle spotting system is a promising idea. YOLOv7 and the CNN algorithm for bounding box and class prediction. It is explained that the suggested system can locate, track, and count the cars accurately in a variety of situations.

The spirituality of endurance: Job in the epistle of James
Authors: Van der Merwe Dirk G.
Published: November 2024

New Testament authors frequently engage with Old Testament characters for various reasons: to be exemplars, to learn from them, to motivate the readers, to encourage the readers, only to name a few. This practice of engagement prompts various spiritualities (‘lived experiences’) in both the reading of those texts and in the lifestyles of readers. In this research, the epistle of James has been chosen to investigate the spirituality of endurance emerging from and generated by the reference to the endurance of Job in James 5:11 as a protagonist of ‘faith’, ‘wisdom’ and ‘endurance’ for his readers. The consequent modus operandi of this research includes: firstly, an Introduction of orientation; secondly, a brief outline of the socio-historical circumstances of the Greco-Roman world; thirdly, a discourse analysis of James 5:7–12 to introduce the spirituality of endurance; fourthly, the exploration of various literary devices present in this pericope, which both engender spiritualities emerging from the reference to Job, and facilitate a reader’s experiential participation in ‘how the Lord is compassionate and merciful’ (Jm 5:11) during personal difficult circumstances.Contribution: The first contribution points out how sufficiently and successfully James has incorporated several aspects from the Book of Job (life characteristics and circumstances) to strengthen the faith of his readers and to encourage them to endure in their difficult socio-economic circumstances. A second contribution points out and applies various literary devices that emerge from the Greco-Roman rhetoric in the text. These devices engender spiritualities surrounding the reference to Job in this pericope. This is to assist readers to take advantage of these linguistic devices, wisely and carefully applied by James, to experience the ‘outcome [τέλος] of the Lord’ (Jm 5:11) by means of faith, prayer, hope, patience and endurance during difficult circumstances.

Authors: Hsueh Chang-Li , Huang Wang-Shiang , Chang Chen-Kang
Published: November 2024

Eccentric exercise and collisions that lead to muscle damage are common place among athletes. This study aimed to investigate the effect of a multi-ingredient supplement (MIS), containing the extracts of turmeric, chicken meat, and apple and ancient peat, on markers of muscle damage in collegiate male players following a rugby match. A position-matched, double-blind, randomized, and crossover design was employed in this study. Each trial consisted of a 14-day supplementation period, followed by a 15-a-side rugby match. A total of 13 participants, eight forward and five backs, with a mean height of 1.76 ± 0.08 m and a mean weight of 86.0 ± 22.8 kg, were included. Blood samples were collected before, immediately, 24 h, and 48 h after the match. Both the MIS (P < 0.001, d = 1.86) and placebo trials (P = 0.002, d = 1.97) exhibited a significant increase in plasma creatine kinase and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) concentrations from the baseline immediately after the match. However, plasma creatine kinase concentration in the MIS trial was significantly lower at 24 h postmatch compared to the placebo trial (P = 0.029, d = 0.90). Moreover, plasma LDH concentration returned to the baseline level 24 h after the match in the MIS trial, while it remained elevated in the placebo trial (P = 0.001, d = 1.07). In either trials, the plasma tumor necrosis factor-α and malondialdehyde concentrations were not significantly different. In conclusion, the MIS can alleviate muscle damage markers after a rugby match without changes in inflammation and oxidative stress markers.

Histopathological Perspective of Linear and Whorled Nevoid Hypermelanosis in Adulthood: A Rare Case Report
Authors: Iqbal Banyameen , Malla Srishti , Kambale Tushar , Deokar Nayonikha
Published: November 2024

ABSTRACT

A rare pigmentation disorder called linear and whorled nevoid hypermelanosis (LWNH) is characterized by macular hyperpigmentation that follows the Blaschko lines. The cheeks, palms, soles, and mucosae are typically spared from lesions and are typically limited to the trunk, neck, and extremities. Although it is usually benign, there have been reports of associations with many congenital abnormalities. Herein, we present a rare case of LWNH involving the lateral surface of the abdomen in a 22-year-old male patient. A punch biopsy from the skin was received, and based on the histomorphological features, a diagnosis of LWNH was given. Hence, histopathology is the gold standard and confirmatory tool for definite diagnosis, along with other dermatological and genetic investigations in this case.

Authors: Mane Sarika A. , Mate Vijay H. , Pandit Vijaya A. , Bhalerao Supriya S.
Published: November 2024

ABSTRACT

Background:

The present study was planned to identify markers for predicting the risk of developing diabetes in first-degree relatives (FDRs) of type 2 diabetes mellitus patients.

Materials and Methods:

With the Ethics Committee’s permission, a cross-sectional study was carried out on individuals of either sex above 18 years of age with a family history of diabetes. The recruited individuals underwent anthropometry and various blood investigations.

Results:

A total of 83 individuals were recruited, of whom 3 were diagnosed with diabetes. Of the 80 non-diabetic FDRs, 33 were males and 47 were females. Maximum participants had a family history of diabetes in single parents. Around 50% of individuals showed deranged body composition and anthropometry, though the blood investigations (including glucose and lipid profiles) were in the normal range. It was observed that 15% of female participants had metabolic syndrome.

Conclusion:

It can be concluded that altered body composition is a common phenomenon in the FDRs, which may be further leading to derangement in blood biochemistry and thereby the development of diabetes.

ABSTRACT

Inflammatory fibroid polyp (IFP) is a rare benign tumor-like lesion of the gastrointestinal tract, and it is an extremely rare cause of intussusception in adults. We present the case of a 58-year-old female who presented with abdominal pain and vomiting. The imaging findings showed ileo-ileal intussusception. The patient was operated on for the same. Histopathological examination revealed polyp with surface ulceration and composed of many thin-walled blood vessels along with plump fibroblast admixed with eosinophils, plasma cells, and lymphocytes. This case is presented for its rare cause of intussusception in adults and hence to emphasize the role of histology.
Utility of Neutrophil–lymphocyte Ratio and Platelet–lymphocyte Ratio in Predicting Malignancy in Patients with Small Renal Mass
Authors: Surag KR , Choudhary Anupam , Singh Anshuman , Swathi PM , Vishwanath Kasi , Abhishek Goli , Rao Mithun
Published: November 2024

ABSTRACT

Background:

Abdominal imaging has become increasingly prevalent, resulting in the incidental detection of renal tumors. The majority of small renal masses (SRMs), which are surgically removed, prove to be malignant. However, some cases turn out to be benign, which can lead to unnecessary surgeries with associated significant morbidity. Recently, many inflammatory biomarkers have shown to be promising prognostic factors in RCC. We aimed to assess the importance of inflammatory biomarkers, which are simple and economical, in SRMs.

Objective:

We investigated whether preoperative neutrophil–lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet–lymphocyte ratio (PLR) can predict malignancy in patients with SRMs.

Material and Methods:

A retrospective analysis was performed on 108 patients who underwent partial or radical nephrectomy for SRMs (tumors smaller than 4 cm) from January 2016 to December 2022. The patients were classified into two groups based on their histopathological diagnosis: benign group (n = 28) and malignant group (n = 80). NLR and PLR values were assessed for sensitivity using the ROC curve. Independent t-test, Mann–Whitney test, and Chi-square test were utilized. P <0.05 indicated statistical significance.

Results:

The mean age of patients was 58.9 ± 12.3 years in the benign group and 53.3 ± 11.9 years in the malignant group (P = 0.03). The mean tumor size was 3.26 ± 0.52 cm in the benign group and 3.04 ± 0.90 cm in the malignant group (P = 0.60). NLR (P = 0.008) and PLR (P ≤ 0.001) values were significantly higher in the malignant group (median: 3.65 and 201) compared to the benign group (median: 2.82 and 125), respectively. The area under a ROC curve was 0.669 (P = 0.002) and 0.758 (P < 0.001), with sensitivity values of 62.5% and 87.5%, specificity of 64.29% and 57.14%, and cutoff points of 3.45 and 130.21, for NLR and PLR, respectively.

Conclusion:

NLR and PLR can be considered biomarkers for predicting malignancy in SRMs. NLR and PLR should be included in a patient’s clinical evaluation along with imaging studies and overall health status.
Stability conditions for mean-field limiting vorticities of the Ginzburg-Landau equations in 2D
Authors: Rodiac Rémy
Published: November 2024

We analyze the limit of stable solutions to the Ginzburg-Landau (GL) equations when

${\varepsilon }$

, the inverse of the GL parameter, goes to zero and in a regime where the applied magnetic field is of order

$|\log {\varepsilon } |$

whereas the total energy is of order

$|\log {\varepsilon }|^2$

. In order to do that, we pass to the limit in the second inner variation of the GL energy. The main difficulty is to understand the convergence of quadratic terms involving derivatives of functions converging only weakly in

$H^1$

. We use an assumption of convergence of energies, the limiting criticality conditions obtained by Sandier-Serfaty by passing to the limit in the first inner variation, and properties of limiting vorticities to find the limit of all the desired quadratic terms. At last, we investigate the limiting stability condition we have obtained. In the case with magnetic field, we study an example of an admissible limiting vorticity supported on a line in a square

${{\Omega }}=(-L,L)^2$

and show that if L is small enough, this vorticiy satisfies the limiting stability condition, whereas when L is large enough, it stops verifying that condition. In the case without magnetic field, we use a result of Iwaniec-Onninen to prove that every measure in

$H^{-1}({{\Omega }})$

satisfying the first-order limiting criticality condition also verifies the second-order limiting stability condition.
A neighbourhood theorem for submanifolds in generalized complex geometry

We study neighbourhoods of submanifolds in generalized complex geometry. Our first main result provides sufficient criteria for such a submanifold to admit a neighbourhood on which the generalized complex structure is

B

-field equivalent to a holomorphic Poisson structure. This is intimately tied with our second main result, which is a rigidity theorem for generalized complex deformations of holomorphic Poisson structures. Specifically, on a compact manifold with boundary we provide explicit conditions under which any generalized complex perturbation of a holomorphic Poisson structure is

B

-field equivalent to another holomorphic Poisson structure. The proofs of these results require two analytical tools: Hodge decompositions on almost complex manifolds with boundary, and the Nash–Moser algorithm. As a concrete application of these results, we show that on a four-dimensional generalized complex submanifold which is generically symplectic, a neighbourhood of the entire complex locus is

B

-field equivalent to a holomorphic Poisson structure. Furthermore, we use the neighbourhood theorem to develop the theory of blowing down submanifolds in generalized complex geometry.
Residually linear abstract groupoids
Authors: Draoui Khalid , Choulli Hanan , Mouanis Hakima
Published: November 2024

We introduce the notion of residually linear groupoids. We characterize this class in analogy with the group-theoretic setting. Various properties are proved and a relationship with residual finiteness is investigated. From a categorical point of view, our approach extends some well-known results in the theory of discrete groups, due mainly to Mal'cev and Menal. Finally, as an application, we show that the character groupoid of the Hopf algebroid of representative functions of a transitive groupoid is always residually linear.

Assessing information exchange among competitors in financial services markets
Authors: Van Dijk Reinder , Jenkinson Tim , Pham Vanessa
Published: November 2024

The exchange of certain types of information among competitors can trigger competition law concerns, as it may heighten the risk of market coordination or lead to the exclusion of competitors not involved in the exchange. Yet, under certain conditions information sharing may also offer benefits. This article discusses two key examples in financial services where evaluating information exchange requires a detailed understanding of the unique dynamics within those markets: the 2010 Office of Fair Trading investigation into information sharing among motor insurance companies which serves as a landmark for assessing the pro-competitive benefits of information exchange in financial products, and the 2019 Financial Conduct Authority competition investigation into information exchange among asset managers during initial public offerings. The IPO case is an important case that highlights the complexity involved in determining the boundary between beneficial and harmful information exchange.
25-Hydroxyvitamin D Levels and Vitamin D3 Supplementation During Postacute Spinal Cord Injury Rehabilitation
Authors: Hertig-Godeschalk Anneke , Sailer Clara O. , Perret Claudio , Lehnick Dirk , Scheel-Sailer Anke , Flueck Joelle L.
Published: November 2024

Background:

Insufficient 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] levels are associated with falls, fractures, and worse overall health outcomes. We evaluated 25(OH)D levels in individuals with spinal cord injury or disorder (SCI/D) during postacute rehabilitation who received vitamin D3 supplementation according to routine clinical practice. Associations with clinical outcomes were also assessed.

Methods:

This prospective observational cohort study included individuals aged 18 to 85 years with newly acquired SCI/D admitted for inpatient rehabilitation to a specialized center. The following parameters were collected monthly from admission to discharge as part of the clinical routine: serum 25(OH)D, vitamin D3 supplementation, pressure injuries, bed rest, and falls. 25(OH)D levels were categorized as insufficient (≤75 nmol/L) or sufficient (>75 nmol/L). Descriptive statistics and group comparisons were performed.

Results:

Eighty-seven patients (25 [29%] females, median age 53 [IQR 39-67] years) were included and followed for 186 (163-205) days. The proportion of patients with a sufficient 25(OH)D level increased from 8% (95% CI, 3-16) to 61% (95% CI, 50-71) (p < .001). Ninety-two percent of patients received vitamin D3 (1100 [1000-2000] IU/day). No differences in 25(OH)D levels or supplementation doses were found for the occurrence of pressure injuries, bed rest, or falls.

Conclusion:

This is the first study to examine 25(OH)D levels and vitamin D3 supplementation during postacute SCI/D rehabilitation. Insufficient 25(OH)D levels were prevalent throughout rehabilitation. For some patients, the doses of vitamin D3 used in current clinical practice may be too low to achieve sufficient 25(OH)D levels. Regular monitoring of 25(OH)D levels and individualized supplementation strategies are warranted.

In the last fifty years the Archaeological Museum of İznik (ancient Nicaea) in south-eastern Marmara has acquired 14 new fibulae. Twelve of these fibulae date to the Phrygian period, and two examples are from the Roman period. Among Phrygian fibulae there are several examples of the type Caner 1983 A IV, 3 variant, which are most likely of local production in Bithynia. Two other examples appear to be unique due to their size and the shape of their bow.
For the Roman period, one Aucissa fibula and one Zwiebelknopffibel are present, with a pairing that is also found in other Anatolian sites.
At the end of the article in the appendix 1 we present a list, updated to the year 2024, of the all Zwiebelknopffibels known from Türkiye. In the appendix 2 we also present a list of all fibulae from the main archaeological fieldworks in Türkiye between 1983 and 2022 after the appearance of Ertuğrul Caner’s publication in 1983.
Aspecte mai puțin tratate în cercetarea olăriei medievale timpurii din România: destinație, utilizare, reutilizare și reciclare. Interpretări teoretice și realități arheologice

Published: November 2024

Literatura arheologică internațională a abordat de multă vreme aceste chestiuni, arătând dimensiunile și diversitatea “bagajului” de date științifice pe care îl înmagazinează un vas ceramic. Deseori am constatat (din partea multor voci în arheologia românească) o bagatelizare a valorii informaționale a fragmentelor de vase ceramice descoperite în diverse situri arheologice (medievale timpurii sau din alte epoci). În literatura străină, față de acest tip de atitudine s-a luat poziție evidențiindu-se variatele rezultate obținute prin studierea veselei ceramice. Pornind de la cele precizate mai sus, prezentul demers își propune să atragă atenția asupra unor aspecte mai puțin abordate în literatura arheologică românească axată (în cazul de față) pe studierea olăriei medievale timpurii: destinația, utilizarea, reutilizarea și reciclarea vaselor ceramice. Dincolo de interpretările teoretice avem în vedere unele interogări ale inventarelor arheologice cunoscute/publicate de pe teritoriul României, evidențierea aspectelor respective prin contexte și artefacte provenite din diverse cercetări. Fără discuție că, în cercetarea olăriei medievale timpurii, chestiunile legate de destinație, utilizare, reutilizare și reciclare vor trebui aprofundate. Cert este faptul că, în ciuda prezenței masive în inventarele complexelor arheologice cercetate, vasele ceramice (indiferent de forma lor) rămân încă (cel puțin în cercetarea arheologică românească) artefacte cu potențial informațional insuficient exploatat/valorificat!

The Holy Land’s shrines are abundant with multilingual inscriptions that pilgrims have left over the centuries. Such inscriptions and graffiti are numerous inside and outside of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem, one of the major Christian holy sites, and mainly contain pilgrims’ names, prayers, and sometimes short texts about them. Due to limited available surfaces for writing, new graffiti often overlaid earlier ones, creating a palimpsest effect.
A significant part of these graffiti are in Armenian, a fact that previous scholars have mostly overlooked even though our research reveals significant examples dating back to the 12th and 13th centuries. In this article, I present fifteen of that newly discovered graffiti, leaving the publication of the whole to the near future.

The referred article is concerned with the theme of early medieval sabres, palashes, swords and their parts from the National Museum of Romanian History in Bucharest. They (eight pcs) originate from the territory of present-day Romania. All of them may be dated from the 6th to the 11th century, although some of them could belong to the turn of Late Antiquity and the Early Middle Ages and others to the turn of the Early and High Middle Ages too. They do not just come from unknown archaeological contexts and stray finds, but also from burial sites and settlement layers. Therefore, the authors were able to associate some of these objects of museum collections to a specific archaeological context and not dated them only on the basis of their analogies. Most of the discussed weapons (five out of eight pcs) were already published. Unfortunately, they mostly miss the complete description, clear drawings and photographic documentation, complete measurements, relevant parallels, or their correct dating. The authors of this article have attempted to resolve these shortcomings. Moreover, they supplemented the article with radiographic and spectroscopic analyses of some studied objects.

With their many beneficial qualities, tannins, as polyphenolic compounds, are being incorporated more and more in plant-based diets. As a result, an increasing number of methods for determining them from plant material, food, and beverages are garnering attention. Here, the effects of tannic acid on the dynamics of the Briggs-Rauscher (BR) oscillatory reaction were examined for the first time. Tannic acid was shown to be active in the BR system by inhibiting the course of the reaction. The results of the experiments on different concentrations of tannic acid were used for the construction of the calibration diagram.

Sage has been used in traditional medicine to prevent and treat many health problems. This study aimed to determine and compare the phytochemical composition and antioxidative activity of sage leaf extracts obtained with 50% methanol (50MSE) and 80% methanol (80MSE). We determined the total phenolic content (TPC), total tannin content (TTC), and total flavonoid content (TFC) in extracts. Terpenoids were identified using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC–MS), and the radical scavenging capacity of extracts was measured using DPPH assay. TPC was higher in 80MSE, TTC was higher in 50MSE, and TFC did not differ. GC–MS analysis showed that the content of α-thujone and L-camphor was low in both extracts, with higher content in 50MSE. DPPH assay indicated that a slightly lower IC50 value and higher antioxidant potential had 80MSE. Results pointed out that the polarity of the solvent and water content had different effects on the extraction of polyphenols and terpenoids.

Melatonin, a hormone secreted by the pineal gland, is also found in certain seeds, leaves, and fruits, including grapes and wines. It is also produced during vinification through yeast inoculation. Known for its various health benefits, including antioxidant effects and influence on polyphenol biosynthesis in plants, the question arises whether adding melatonin during vinification can enhance wine quality. This study aimed to investigate the impact of melatonin addition on the total phenolic content and antioxidant activity of Moldova red wine. Results indicated an 8% increase in total phenolic content in the treated wine compared to the control. Additionally, the treated wine exhibited higher anti-DPPH radical activity, though no difference was observed in reducing power values between the two wines as measured by the FRAP assay.

Red wine is one of the most popular alcoholic beverages. Its popularity is also due to the fact that its components can have beneficial effects on human health when consumed in moderate amounts. Throughout history, wine production technology has advanced to achieve a final product of the highest possible quality. The aim of this study was to assess the impact of melatonin addition in the vinification process on the total phenolic content of Muscat Hamburg red wine. Additionally, an elemental analysis of the wines was conducted. The results indicated a significant increase in total phenolic content in the melatonin-treated wine. Both melatonin-treated and untreated wines were found to be good sources of essential elements for humans and were deemed safe for consumption.

Foodborne pathogens present a serious human health problem, especially in the era of growing antimicrobial resistance. To overcome the problem, the solution was sought in plants, rich in secondary metabolites. Cinnamon essential oil (EO) is recognized as a natural product with antibacterial potential. The aim of the study was to chemically characterize EO, to determine antibacterial and antibiofilm potential against foodborne pathogens, and to estimate cytotoxicity. HPLC pointed out eugenol as the most abundant component, while microdilution assay showed moderate antibacterial activity (the highest potential against Shigella flexneri, MIC 2.5 mg/mL). CV assay indicated a noticeable antibiofilm effect (up to 84% biofilm biomass inhibition on Enterobacter cloaceae). MTT assay, applied on normal lung fibroblasts (MRC-5) and colon cancer cells (HCT 116), showed notable, dose-dependent cytotoxicity. It can be concluded that EO exhibited great antibacterial potential against foodborne pathogens.
