Authors: Bhageerathy A , Prasanth V V
Published: March 2024

This study aimed to develop and evaluate an ocular, prolonged-release cubogel formulation of moxifloxacin hydrochloride (MX) to treat conjunctivitis. Using glycerol monooleate and poloxamer 407 in varying concentrations, a cubosome containing the antibiotic MX was developed using a top-down approach. Further, by dispersing optimized cubosomes in a cold in-situ gelling system, MX cubogels were prepared.  Following Higuchi's release kinetic model, formulations MA4, MA8, MA11, and MA14 released 95.84, 95.77, 97.45, and 97.68% of MX after 12 hours. The in-vitro corneal permeation study showed that the goat cornea absorbed 81% of MX cubogel than conventional formulations. From the results of antibacterial and histopathological studies, the selected formulations were safe for ocular administration. This study concluded that MX cubogel may be a suitable alternative to conventional eye drops due to its increased permeability and sustained release characteristics.

THE EFFECT OF ULTRASONICATION TIME ON PARTICLE SIZE, POLYDISPERSITY INDEX AND STABILITY EVALUATION OF ANTHOCYANIN LIPOSOMES
Authors: Tungadi Robert
Published: March 2024

Background: One of the drug delivery systems that acts as a targeting system is liposomes which have good characteristics so they can encapsulate and deliver drug compounds. One of the characteristics that need to be considered in liposomes is the particle size and polydispersity index. Several methods can be used to control these two characteristics, including the extrusion and the ultrasonication method.
Objectives: This research aims to see stability evaluation and effect of ultrasonication time and extrusion on particle size and polydispersity index (PDI) of Anthocyanin liposomes.
Methods: The liposome formula was prepared using Anthocyanin: DSPC: cholesterol: DSPE-PEG2000 in a ratio of 1: 1.85: 1: 0.15 using the ethanol injection method. Anthocyanin liposome was divided into 3 treatments of varying ultrasonication times i.e. 5 minutes (L1), 15 minutes (L2), and 30 minutes (L3), and extrusion method as control (L0). All methods of anthocyanin liposomes size and PDI were done the stability evaluation based on storage temperature i.e 4oC and 25oC for 6 weeks
Results: The results of liposome characterization using particle size analyzer (PSA) showed that L0, L1, L2, and L3 had particle sizes of 152.1 nm, 150, 6 nm, 156.2 nm, 169.7 nm with the average PDI 0.379, 0.368, 0.450, 0.366 respectively. The statistical data (T-test) showed that there was no real influence on the particle size and PDI of Anthocyanin liposomes. However, Liposome treatment (L1) produced using the ultrasonication method for 5 minutes produces better particle size and PDI than other time variables. Moreover, the stability evaluation of anthocyanin liposomes size and PDI described the extrusion (control) and sonication method particularly 5 minutes of ultrasonication time were more stable than others due to no change size and PDI significantly at 4oC and 25oC for 6 weeks.
Conclusion: Both methods can reduce the particle size of anthocyanin liposomes and have a homogeneous particle distribution, particularly the ultrasonication treatment time of 5 minutes which is the same as the extrusion method and and also more stable at storage temperatures of 4oC and 25oC for 6 weeks.

CORRELATION OF EPSTEIN-BARR VIRUS WITH BREAST CANCER: A CASE CONTROL STUDY
Authors: Al-Shiabani Reham Khaled , Al-Jaufy Ahmed Y , Al-Moyed Khaled Abdulkarim , Al-Shamahy Hassan Abdulwahab
Published: March 2024

Background and aims: Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is a gamma herpes virus and one of the most common infections globally. It has been linked to several health problems, including breast cancer, which is a leading cause of death among females worldwide. In Yemen, breast cancer is one of the top reported cancers in women. This study aimed to investigate the correlation between EBV and breast cancer among Yemeni women in Sana'a city.
Methods: The study is a case-control study that included newly diagnosed, untreated breast cancer patients as cases and healthy women attending the National Cancer Control Foundation as controls. A total of 150 participants were tested for EBV (VCA) IgG using ELISA.
Results: The association between EBV and BC in the case and control groups was found by the investigation. 48 women (64.0%) who tested positive for EBV IgG were included in the control group, whereas 71 women (94.7%) among the patients had the antibody identified. A substantial correlation between EBV and BC was found by statistical analysis; a chi-square value of 21.510 and a p-value of less than 0.001 supported this conclusion. With a 95% confidence interval, the odds ratio was 10.0 (3.3-30.4). Moreover, women above the age of thirty showed a higher risk than women under that age (p=0.006). In addition, compared to the control group, divorced and bereaved women had a significantly higher chance of contracting EBV (p= 0.002).
Conclusions: According to the study's findings, there may be a link between EBV infection and a higher risk of breast cancer. To further understand the underlying mechanisms and potential strategies to reduce this risk, more research is required.

URINARY SCHISTOSOMIASIS AMONG SCHOOL-AGE CHILDREN IN SELECTED RURAL COMMUNITIES IN HADHRAMOUT GOVERNORATE, YEMEN
Authors: Bayousuf Fahmi F. , Bin-Hameed Eidha A. , Assakaf Galal M. , Al-Bowri Saeed S.
Published: March 2024

Background: Urinary schistosomiasis is a potentially life-threatening public health issue in some areas of Yemen, particularly in Hadhramout rural communities. It is considered as one of the most common neglected tropical parasitic diseases. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of urinary schistosomiasis and associated risk factors among school-age males and females in selected rural communities of Hadhramout, Yemen.
Methods: A total of 450 students participated in this cross-sectional study. Urine samples were collected, then examined for haematuria and Schistosoma haematobium (S. haematobium) eggs using urine dipsticks and filtration technique respectively. To assess knowledge and practices regarding the transmission of urinary schistosomiasis, a pre-tested questionnaire was employed.
Results: An overall (66)14.7% of participants tested positive for S. haematobium, and of those, 54 (12.0%) developed haematuria with a statistically significant difference (p=0.001). A total of 35(53.0% eggs/10 ml urine) had heavy intensity of infection, with a significant difference (p=0.001) between the different communities visited: high in Al-Dhulaya'a (18.2 eggs/10 ml urine) and low in Yabaith (6.1 eggs/10 ml urine). S. haematobium infection showed significantly higher (p=0.002) in males (13.8%) than females (0.9%), and increased with age of participants. Multivariate logistic analysis of risk factors were significantly associated with the prevalence of urinary schistosomiasis such as swimming activities (p=0.016), washing clothes (p=0.14), time spent in infested areas more than 15 minutes (p=0.012), habits of defecation/urination in open water sources (p=0.44), self-reported symptoms suggestive of the disease (p=0.03), participants with a history of illness (p=0.014), lack of awareness of schistosomiasis (p=0.050), and no prior treatment with praziquantel (p=0.001).
Conclusions: Urinary schistosomiasis remains highly prevalent among schoolchildren in rural communities in Hadhramaut. The study highlights the urgent need to implement preventive measures, safe drinking water supply, proper sanitation, and vector control programs in order to reduce transmission and morbidity caused by schistosomiasis.

The Distinctiveness Problem of Analogical Arguments
Authors: Liao Yanlin
Published: March 2024

The orthodox view holds that analogical arguments are a distinctive type of argument, while the eliminative view and its enhanced variant proposed in this paper contend that analogical arguments can be reducible to non-analogical arguments by eliminating the similarities proposition. This paper shows that the existing defense for the orthodox view fails to tackle the challenge posed by the eliminative view and its enhanced variant. The new defense for the distinctiveness of analogical arguments argues that an analogical argument is composed of both a conductive and principle-based argument. Consequently, analogical arguments remain irreducible, as the similarities proposition is not eliminated.

Intelligent switching gain based sliding mode control for optimization of power consumption in cooperative manipulators
Authors: Yousefi N N. , Kia Ali Parsai , Korayem Moharam Habibnejad
Published: March 2024

Cooperative manipulators, vital for intricate tasks, are gaining
widespread attention across industries. Recognizing their impact on
power consumption, costs, and task outcomes, this paper emphasizes the
critical study of control methods, actuator power consumption, and
manipulator accuracy. Addressing these challenges, we propose a Neural
Network-Sliding Mode Controller (NN-SMC) to optimize actuator power
consumption and minimize errors in cooperative manipulators. Operating
in trajectory and point-to-point modes, the NN-SMC dynamically generates
real-time Switching Mode Controller (SMC) gains (L and K) for precise
control. Stability is ensured by maintaining gains within permissible
ranges. In point-to-point mode, the NN orchestrates an optimal path
generation, along with tailored gains. To evaluate performance
accurately, a novel control performance index is introduced.
Experimental results on 3-DOF cooperative manipulators demonstrate a
remarkable 28% increase in the control performance index for the
trajectory mode and a substantial reduction in computational complexity
for both modes. This work not only addresses inherent challenges in
cooperative manipulators but also signifies a methodological advancement
through the integration of neural network-based control, promising
enhanced efficiency and stability.
Recruitment failure in randomised controlled trials: a conundrum
Authors: JFW Rikken , RN Casteleijn , MC van der Weide , Duijnhoven Ruben , Goddijn Mariëtte , Mol Ben , F van der Veen , Wely Madelon van
Published: March 2024

Objective: We aim to assess which variables are associated with
recruitment failure of RCTs, leading to an extension of the study
period.. Design: Nationwide cohort study. Setting: A
cohort of RCTs supported by the trial centre of the Dutch Consortium of
Obstetrics and Gynaecology. Population: We included 83 RCTs
that recruited patients between March 1 2003 and
December 1 2023. Main outcome measures:
Primary outcome was recruitment target not achieved within six months
after the pre-planned recruitment period. Secondary outcomes were
recruitment target not achieved within an extension period of at least
twelve months and premature termination of the trial. Results:
In total, 46 of 83 RCTs (55%) did not achieve their targeted
recruitment within the pre-planned study period with a maximal extension
period of 6 months. The most relevant indicators for recruitment failure
in multivariable risk prediction modelling were presence of a
no-treatment arm, a compensation fee of less than 200 euros per included
patient, funding of less than 350.000 euros, while a preceding pilot
study lowered this risk. Conclusions: We identified that the
presence of a no-treatment arm, low funding and a low compensation fee
per included patient were the most relevant risk factors for recruitment
failure within the pre-planned period, while a preceding pilot study
lowered this risk. Awareness of these indicators is important when
designing future studies.
Fake news detection in the Hindi Language using Multi-modality via Transfer and Ensemble learning
Authors: Garg Sonal , Sharma Dilip Kumar
Published: March 2024

Fake news classification emerged as an exciting topic for machine
learning and artificial intelligence researchers. Most of the existing
literature on fake news detection is based on the English language.
Hence, it needs more usability. Fake news detection in low-resource
scare languages is still challenging due to the absence of large
annotated datasets and tools. In this work, we propose a large-scale
Indian news dataset for the Hindi language. This dataset is constructed
by scraping different reliable fact-checking websites. The LDA approach
is adopted to assign the category to news statements. Various
machine-learning and transfer learning approaches are applied to verify
the authenticity of the dataset. Ensemble learning is also applied based
on the low false-positive rate of machine-learning classifiers. A
multi-modal approach is adopted by combining LSTM with VGG-16 and VGG-19
classifiers. LSTM is used for textual features, while VGG-16 and VGG-19
are applied for image analysis. Our proposed dataset has achieved
satisfactory performance.

Published: March 2024

Introduction The performance of a rapid test was evaluated
against two ELISAs as a potentially useful tool to determine exposure to
SARS-CoV-2 in low resource settings. A serosurvey was conducted in
Kibera informal settlement, Nairobi, Kenya, where low numbers of
COVID-19 were recorded during the pandemic. Materials and
methods A cross-sectional study was performed in 10 of 14 villages in
Kibera informal settlement, Kenya’s largest slum community, in August
2021, before general vaccine roll-out. Participants were age one year
and above with no symptoms of COVID-19. Capillary blood samples were
tested using the Standard Q COVID-19 IgM/IgG Combo rapid test, Platelia
SARS-CoV-2 Total Ab (IgM/IgG/IgA) Assay, and Wantai Total Ab
(IgM/IgG/IgA) ELISA for SARS-CoV-2 which served as the reference test.
Results Samples were obtained from 438 participants; in 72
samples blood was insufficient for the Platelia ELISA. Specificity of
the rapid test and Platelia ELISA were similar (>93%) but
sensitivity was low (rapid test 61.3%; Platelia ELISA 83.4%). The
Wantai ELISA showed greater positivity (82.6%) than the rapid test
(51.8%) and Platelia ELISA (69.7%). Conclusions The Wantai
ELISA showed superior performance in this serosurvey. Point-of-care
tests for convenient screening for SARS-CoV-2 exposure for surveillance
studies need to be developed.

Published: March 2024

Recombinant adeno-associated virus (rAAV) is a commonly used in
vivo gene therapy vector because of its non-pathogenicity, long-term
transgene expression, broad tropism, and ability to transduce both
dividing and non-dividing cells. However, rAAV vector production via
transient transfection of mammalian cells typically yields a low
fraction of filled-to-total capsids (~1–30% of total
capsids produced). Analysis of our previously developed mechanistic
model for rAAV2/5 production attributed these low fill fractions to a
poorly coordinated timeline between capsid synthesis and viral DNA
replication and the repression of later phase capsid formation by Rep
proteins. Here, we extend the model by quantifying the expression
dynamics of total Rep proteins and their influence on the key steps of
rAAV2/5 production using a multiple dosing transfection of human
embryonic kidney 293 (HEK293) cells. We report that the availability of
pre-formed empty capsids and viral DNA copies per cell are not limiting
to the capsid filling reaction. However, optimal expression of Rep
proteins (< 240 ± 13 ag per cell) enables enrichment of the
filled capsid population (> 12% of total capsids/cell)
upstream. Our analysis suggests increased enrichment of filled capsids
via regulating the expression of Rep proteins is possible but at the
expense of per cell capsid titer in a triple plasmid transfection. Our
study reveals an intrinsic limitation of scaling rAAV2/5 vector genome
(vg) production and underscores the need for approaches that allow for
regulating the expression of Rep proteins to maximize vg titer per cell
upstream.

Published: March 2024

The Internet of Things (IoT) is a new well-structured emerging
technology with communication of smart devices using the 5G technology,
infrastructures of roads, vehicles, smart cities, traffic systems and
user applications. The IoT applications facilitate providing prompt
emergency responses, and improved quality of vehicles, and road
services, with cost-effective activities in the intelligent
transportation systems. According to the growth of 5G technology and
complex communications between smart devices and intelligent vehicles,
Federated Learning is applied to support privacy and security factors in
safety-critical transportation systems using innovative prediction
methods in Internet of Vehicle (IoV) environments. Therefore, Federated
Learning (FL) approaches can support safety, privacy and security for
the sensitive personal information of users and critical aspects of
vehicles in intelligent transportation systems and IoV. This
comprehensive review paper delves into the innovative integration of
blockchain technology with federated learning and the dynamic domain of
IoV. It extensively analyzes the primary concepts, methodologies, and
challenges associated with the deployment of FL in IoV. This study
categorically examines three main types of federated learning approaches
vertical, horizontal, and decentralized each tailored to specific IoV
communication scenarios like Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V),
Vehicle-to-Infrastructure (V2I), and Vehicle-to-Cloud (V2C). The study
emphasizes various applications of FL, including cyber-attack detection,
data sharing, traffic prediction, and privacy preservation based on
critical Quality of Service (QoS) factors. Finally, some main challenges
and new open issues are discussed and assessed for federated machine
learning approaches in the IoV.

Published: March 2024

Objective: To analyze the clinical manifestations, imaging features, and
treatment of Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia with pulmonary venous
thrombosis (PVT) in children and to improve the understanding of PVT
among clinicians. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed a case of
refractory mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia (RMPP) with PVT and reviewed
the related literature. We also summarized the clinical features of the
disease and our experience in diagnosing and treating the patient.
Results: Our case is a 5-year-old female who was admitted to the
hospital for fever and cough that was persistent for ten days before
admission. Chest CT of the child showed pneumonia, atelectasis, pleural
effusion, and pericardial effusion. After treatment with anti-infection,
anti-inflammatory, and immunomodulatory medications, the symptoms of the
child improved. Since the chest CT of the child showed atelectasis of
the lung, we performed bronchoscopy. Bloody sputum was observed in the
trachea, right main bronchus, and the lower bronchioles. Local
hemostatic and systemic hemostatic agents were given for five days;
however, bloody sputum was still observed during bronchoscopy. Finally,
pulmonary vein and left atrium thrombosis were confirmed through chest
CTA examination. Thrombi disappeared after anticoagulant therapy with
low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) and warfarin, and there was no
discomfort in the follow-up for two years. Conclusion: PTV may occur
after mycoplasma pneumoniae infection. Early diagnosis and treatment are
very important for patient prognosis.

Published: March 2024

This study aims to detect indications of herding behavior that occurred in the ASEAN capital market throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. The research spanned from December 31, 2019, to June 30, 2021, encompassing the duration of the COVID-19 pandemic. This research used panel regression and rolling window regression methods on the dependent variable of Cross-Sectional Absolute Deviation (CSAD) to detect indications of herding behavior. This research also employed daily stock return data for all companies on several stock exchanges in five ASEAN countries. The panel regression model was then utilized in the analysis. The panel regression results demonstrated the absence of herding behavior on the stock exchanges in ASEAN. This was evident as the Rm2 coefficient consistently revealed a significant positive sign throughout the entire observation period. However, upon rechecking through rolling window regression, it was uncovered that, at some times, herding did occur on the ASEAN stock exchange during the COVID-19 pandemic. Furthermore, the government’s policy response by limiting short selling could reduce herding on the stock market. Simultaneously, the government’s policy response to the COVID-19 epidemic, proxied by the Stringency Index, apparently heightened investor anxiety and promoted herding behavior. Lastly, the heightened levels of anxiety and volatility experienced during the pandemic (variable IVI) led to a rise in herd behavior among the stock markets of ASEAN countries.

Authors: Sitorus Anggi Pratiwi , Siregar Saparuddin , Nurlaila
Published: March 2024

The purpose of this research is to investigate how implementing Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) in a planned, measured, and sustainable manner might improve the performance of the OJK in Indonesia. A quantitative technique is used in this associative research. The quantitative approach focuses on the numerical measurement of study variables and data analysis using static processes and systematic modelling to investigate parts, phenomena, and relationships. From the beginning to the end, this quantitative research method is specific and well-planned. In environmental, social and governance (ESG) performance was found to be positively correlated with financial success among companies included in the Jakarta Islamic Index Indonesia (JII). Although the leadership quality of companies listed on JII is positively correlated with environmental and social performance, this quality is not significantly correlated with governance performance. The presence of the leadership variable as a variable that moderates ESG disclosure on enhancing firm financial performance as evaluated by the capped free float index or the weight of company shares listed on the Jakarta Islamic Index is novel in this study.

Authors: Brilliani Brilliani , Setianingtyas Honggowati  , Christiyaningsih Budiwati
Published: March 2024

Voluntary disclosure, especially disclosure of carbon emissions in mining companies, is still low. The purpose of this study is to analyze the impact of carbon emission disclosure on financial performance and to find out whether the ownership of institutions can moderate the impact of carbon emission disclosure on financial performance. The data for this study was collected from annual reports and sustainability reports. The sample for this research is 305 mining companies and transportation companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange and Malaysia Stock Exchange in 2018 - 2022. The research model used is moderated regression analysis (MRA). The research results show that carbon emission disclosure has a negative effect on financial performance and institutional ownership can moderate the effect of carbon emission disclosure on financial performance. Disclosure of carbon emissions is so expensive that some companies do not disclose it. Disclosing information about carbon would be an advantage for companies.

The groundwater in Kota Bambu Selatan, West Jakarta, has high levels of turbidity and TDS. Therefore, it is necessary to be treated in order to comply with the regulations outlined in the Minister of Health of the Republic of Indonesia Number 2 of 2023 concerning Environmental Health standards. This study aims to investigate the effectiveness chicken eggshells as a biocoagulant for treating this groundwater. The techniques employed encompassed coagulation and flocculation, involving different coagulation G.td values (17,000, 34,000, 48,000, and 96,000) and a range of biocoagulant doses (100-500 mg/L). The outcomes of the treatment revealed that the utilization of chicken eggshells as a biocoagulant led to the removal of 47.14% of TDS and 97.17% of turbidity. The cost associated with implementing chicken eggshells as a biocoagulant amounted to IDR 230.70 per liter. In light of these findings, it can be deduced that chicken eggshells serve as an effective biocoagulant for reducing TDS and turbidity in the groundwater treatment.
