Authors: Mahmood Abdulla Ahmad  , Hummudi Israa Mohammed
Published: March 2023

The selective laser melting (SLM) system reaches the status of a contender with the traditional casting of dental alloys, with the essential drawback that it is conducive to roughness, making surfaces difficult to finish by the conventional method. Ultrasonic machines (USM) are instrumentally sensible for processes involving metal surface adjustments.
This study aims to assess the surface roughness for SLM by using USM instead of conventional finishing. The discs of cobalt chromium alloy were printed by SLM (n = 20) and evenly divided into two groups: one for finishing in compliance with the manufacturer's standard procedure, and the other for employing USM. The specimens were evaluated using the Surface Roughness Test, and the data was analyzed using the t-test.
Highly significant differences were found at P < 0.01. Furthermore, the mean value accounted for a low level of readings (Ra) in the USM group, which amounted to 1.707, and with regard to the control group, it was 4.539. Ultrasonic finishing processes promote the competence of the finishing procedure and improve the surface quality for dental cobalt chromium alloys that are printed by SLM technology.

Authors: Nuha Abd Al.rheem Saad  , Hussein Raghad Hassan , Al-Shakir Nadia M.M.
Published: March 2023

Uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) is considered one of the main causes of urinary tract infections. Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a significant global health care issue, particularly with regard to urinary tract infections. Objective: To evaluate the prevalence of antibiotic resistance among Escherichia coli isolated from patients with urinary tract infection.
Two-hundred and sixty-four mid-stream urine samples were collected from patients with symptoms of urinary tract infection who visited Baghdad teaching Hospital. These samples were routinely cultured on different media and E. coli was identified using conventional methods and confirmed by VITEK-2 system. Following diagnosis, 10 different types of antibiotics were tested for their sensitivity on E. coli strains using the Kirby-Bauer disk diffusion method. Results: Out of 264 urine samples, 175 (66%) contained Gram-negative bacteria, E. coli was the most common uropathogenic isolate (38%), followed by K. pneumoniae (16%) and Streptococcus epidermidis (12%). The majority of uropathogenic E. coli showed the most rate of resistance to Amoxicillin, ceftriaxone, cefotaxime, Nalidixic acid, Trimethoprim/Slfamethoxazole & tetracycline (88%, 80%,75%, 67%, 65.0% and 57% respectively).  Ninty-three percentage were sensitive to Meropenem, followed by Nitrufurnantion and Chloramphenicole  (75.0% and 68.0%) respectively. Conclusions: It was concluded from this study that E. coli is the main pathogen inflicting UTIs on patients. Amoxicillin, ceftriaxone, cefotaxime, Nalidixic acid, Trimethoprim/Slfamethoxazole & tetracycline were among the antibiotics with the highest rates of resistance. In light of this study, local sensitivity patterns rather than international guidelines should be the basis for empirical antibiotic therapy.

Abstract. The western basin of Lake Erie has a history of recurrent cyanobacterial harmful algal blooms (HABs) despite decades of efforts by the United States and Canada to limit nutrient loading, a major driver of the blooms. In response, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Great Lakes Environmental Research Laboratory (GLERL) and the Cooperative Institute for Great Lakes Research (CIGLR) created an annual sampling program to detect, monitor, assess, and predict HABs in western Lake Erie. Here we describe the data collected from this monitoring program from 2012 to 2021. This dataset includes observations on physico-chemical properties, major nutrient fractions, phytoplankton pigments, microcystins, and optical properties for western Lake Erie. This dataset is particularly relevant for creating models, verifying and calibrating remote sensing algorithms, and informing experimental research to further understand the water quality dynamics that enable HABs in this internationally significant body of freshwater. The dataset can be freely accessed from NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI) at https://doi.org/10.25921/11da-3x54 (Cooperative Institute for Great Lakes Research, University of Michigan; NOAA Great Lakes Environmental Research Laboratory, 2019).

Published: March 2023

Abstract. Gas-phase oxidation of isoprene by ozone (O3) and the hydroxyl (OH) and nitrate (NO3) radicals significantly impacts tropospheric oxidant levels and secondary organic aerosol formation. The most comprehensive and up-to-date chemical mechanism for isoprene oxidation consists of several hundred species and over 800 reactions. Therefore, the computational expense of including the entire mechanism in large-scale atmospheric chemical transport models is usually prohibitive, and most models employ reduced isoprene mechanisms ranging in size from ∼ 10 to ∼ 200 species. We have developed a new reduced isoprene oxidation mechanism using a directed-graph path-based automated model reduction approach, with minimal manual adjustment of the output mechanism. The approach takes as inputs a full isoprene oxidation mechanism, the environmental parameter space, and a list of priority species which are protected from elimination during the reduction process. Our reduced mechanism, AMORE-Isoprene (where AMORE stands for Automated Model Reduction), consists of 12 species which are unique to the isoprene mechanism as well as 22 reactions. We demonstrate its performance in a box model in comparison with experimental data from the literature and other current isoprene oxidation mechanisms. AMORE-Isoprene's performance with respect to predicting the time evolution of isoprene oxidation products, including isoprene epoxydiols (IEPOX) and formaldehyde, is favorable compared with other similarly sized mechanisms. When AMORE-Isoprene is included in the Community Regional Atmospheric Chemistry Multiphase Mechanism 1.0 (CRACMM1AMORE) in the Community Multiscale Air Quality Model (CMAQ, v5.3.3), O3 and formaldehyde agreement with Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Air Quality System observations is improved. O3 bias is reduced by 3.4 ppb under daytime conditions for O3 concentrations over 50 ppb. Formaldehyde bias is reduced by 0.26 ppb on average for all formaldehyde measurements compared with the base CRACMM1. There was no significant change in computation time between CRACMM1AMORE and the base CRACMM. AMORE-Isoprene shows a 35 % improvement in agreement between simulated IEPOX concentrations and chamber data over the base CRACMM1 mechanism when compared in the Framework for 0-D Atmospheric Modeling (F0AM) box model framework. This work demonstrates a new highly reduced isoprene mechanism and shows the potential value of automated model reduction for complex reaction systems.

Published: March 2023

Abstract. Introduction: diagnosis of periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) is
challenging, as no single test has absolute accuracy. The purpose of this
study was to assess the utility of different simple synovial biomarkers in
the diagnosis of PJI as defined by the European Bone and Joint Infection
Society (EBJIS).
Methods: we retrospectively identified all patients undergoing revision hip or knee
arthroplasty from 2013 to 2019 on our prospectively maintained database.
Only patients with minimum required infection diagnostic workup were
included in the study. Patients with comorbidities that may influence the
accuracy of synovial biomarkers were excluded. Receiver operator
characteristic (ROC) curves were utilised to assess the diagnostic utility of
synovial fluid white blood cell (WBC) count, polymorphonuclear leukocyte
percentage (PMN %), C-reactive protein (CRP), adenosine deaminase (ADA), and
alpha-2-microglobulin (A2M).
Results: in total, 102 patients met the inclusion criteria. Of these, 58 were
classified as infection unlikely, 8 as infection likely, and 36 as infection
confirmed. Synovial WBC count (area under the curve (AUC) 0.94) demonstrated
the best utility for the diagnosis of PJI, followed by PMN % (AUC 0.91),
synovial CRP (AUC 0.90), ADA (AUC 0.82), and A2M (AUC 0.76). We found added
value in the combined interpretation of different biomarkers. We calculated high sensitivity
and negative predictive value if at least two of them are negative and high
specificity and positive predictive value if at least two are elevated.
Conclusion: current results show that synovial fluid investigation is a useful tool for the
diagnosis of PJI, and the combined interpretation of simple and inexpensive
biomarkers demonstrated improved diagnostic accuracy.

Published: March 2023

The present study explores the contemporary pedagogical practices of translation skills in undergraduate classrooms in Pakistan. Translation skills are essential components of the prescribed syllabuses and examinations. Classroom observations reveal that the students face problems in translation skills. Consequently, teaching and learning of translation skills need redesigning. The study aims to enhance awareness among students about the real implication of translation skills and suggest changes. The paradigm selected is the pragmatic analysis of contemporary unsuccessful pedagogical practices of translation skills. The data was collected from 321 undergraduate students of public and private institutions through a questionnaire. The data was analyzed descriptively. The findings reveal that the contemporary pedagogical practices of translation skills are less effective in enhancing translation skills as current translation practices focus on cramming translation rules and passages instead of developing students' autonomy. The research contributes to teaching and learning translation skills, especially for ESL teachers and learners. The outcomes of this research will lead future researchers to suggest further improvements in pedagogical practices of translation skills.

Published: March 2023

Sabe-se que a preservação do meio ambiente sempre foi um assunto que permeou a preocupação humana. Porém, esta preocupação aumentou ainda mais com os impactos humanos recorrentes, na medida em que começamos a questionar: “Qual a capacidade de suporte do nosso planeta?”. Educação ambiental, conservação e sustentabilidade são termos comumente aplicados no nosso cotidiano. O Brasil, por sua vez, trata-se de um país rico em biodiversidade e com muitos ambientes de belezas naturais, os quais são focos de visitação. Nesse sentido, o objetivo deste trabalho foi verificar como o ecoturismo pode ser uma importante alternativa para a conservação de um bioma já muito alterado e mais ameaçado do Brasil, a Mata Atlântica. A pesquisa desenvolvida teve caráter qualitativo e bibliográfico, com foco principal no estado de São Paulo. Pode-se verificar que neste Estado, esta atividade vem crescendo de forma significativa, auxilia a conservação do bioma Mata Atlântica e promove o desenvolvimento socioeconômico de várias localidades. Assim, conclui-se que o ecoturismo é, de fato, uma importante ferramenta para conservação do bioma Mata Atlântica.

THE DECISION OF NO GROUND FOR INVESTIGATION ON THE BASIS OF RIGHT NOT TO BE LABELLED AS CRIMINAL AND PRESUMPTION OF INNOCENCE IN THE SCOPE OF HUMAN RIGHTS
Authors: ULAŞAN Fatih
Published: March 2023

“Decision of No Ground for Investigation (DNGI)”, which was added as the 140/6 article of the Law no. 7078 to the 158th article of the Turkish Criminal Procedure Code (TCPC), is included as a type of decision. In general and abstract complaints and denunciations without crime, public prosecutors can make the decision. An investigation will not continue due to a denunciation or complaint that does not have sufficient qualifications, and state institutions will not be unnecessarily busy. Provided that the DNGI is utilized appropriately by public prosecutors, there can be a severe decrease in the workload of courts and based on the presumption of innocence (PI) and the right not to be labelled as criminal (RNLC) in the scope of human rights, people can be protected from unnecessary investigations because of complaints or denunciations which do not constitute any crime.
Emisión de gases de efecto invernadero a partir de excretas en sistemas ganaderos característicos de Argentina
Authors: Banira Lombardi
Published: March 2023

Mientras que el sector agrícola ganadero contribuye con el 24% de las emisiones totales de Gases de Efecto Invernadero (GEIs) a nivel mundial, en Argentina este sector representa el 39% de las emisiones totales debido a la importancia de ese sector en el perfil productivo del país. Atento a los compromisos ambientales subscriptos por Argentina, todo aquel desarrollo científico tecnológico que contribuya a mitigarlas emisiones de GEIs de las principales actividades productivas resulta de gran interés. A pesar de esto, hasta el presente existe muy poca información local sobre la contribución del sector ganadero a las emisiones nacionales, y menos aún sobre la emisión de GEIs desde las excretas. En este contexto, los objetivos generales del presente trabajo de Tesis fueron: evaluar el impacto de diversas prácticas de manejo en las emisiones de óxido nitroso (N2O) y metano (CH4) procedentes de excretas de bovinos en distintos sistemas de producción extensivos e intensivos, y calcular los correspondientes factores de emisión (FE) para comparar con los establecidos por el Panel Intergubernamental del Cambio Climático (IPCC). Para ello, se llevaron a cabo 5 ensayos que incluyeron la medición de GEIs con cámaras estáticas y cromatografía gaseosa desde i) parches de heces de novillos en pastoreo con y sin suplementación con grano de maíz; ii) parches de orina, o de heces y de heces y orina combinados; iii) parches de heces depositados sobre dos pasturas megatérmicas con capacidad contrastante de inhibición biológica dela nitrificación; iv) pilas de acumulación de estiércol en un feedlot; y v) fertirriego con efluente de tambo vs urea. La suplementación energética en novillos en pastoreo, el manejo del rodeo que permita una distribución uniforme de las excretas en las pasturas, y la revalorización del estiércol para su uso agronómico disminuyendo tanto los impactos ambientales de su almacenamiento como de la producción de fertilizantes sintéticos, son estrategias de mitigación prometedoras según los resultados de este trabajo de Tesis. Los FE encontrados indican que los Inventarios Nacionales de emisiones de GEIs deberían realizarse siguiendo la metodología de cálculo actualizada del IPCC del 2019, en lugar de la del IPCC del 2006, ya que establece FE mucho más cercanos a los valores medidos a campo en esta Tesis. Sin embargo, se requiere de estudios adicionales que permitan verificar los resultados obtenidos hasta el presente bajo diferentes sistemas de producción y condiciones edafo climáticas. Lo dicho permitiría contar con FE más robustos, y por ende con estimaciones de emisiones más cercanas a las condiciones locales y evitar así la posible sobreestimación de las emisiones del sector ganadero.

Published: March 2023

Malaria is a disease that is threat to our life and it is caused by a parasite named protozoan. As we all studied that there are five species of malaria falciparum, p.vivax, p. malaria, p. ovale, and p. knowlesi. Some of the common symptoms of malaria are fever, fatigue, headache, cough, abdominal pain, nausea. Some of the causes of malaria are blood transfusion, maternal foetal transmission, by infected needle because of bite of female anopheles mosquito. Earlier number of method were used like malaria microscopy, RDT (Rapid Diagnostic Test). These tests were very costly so after their failure computer vision techniques came into limelight like image processing. Here microscopic images of blood samples were taken and using various techniques of image processing like preprocessing of an image, feature extraction, segmentation were used and were very popular in last few years but nowadays may machine learning classification models are used such as Naïve Bayesian classifier, Support vector machine classifier, K-nearest neighbor and many more and are very successful in predicting accuracy of detection of malaria parasite. In this paper we are going to detect malaria parasite and also which parasite it is with the help of a pre-processed image using region filling and then using canny edge detection for smoothening of edges in combination with watershed segmentation using distance transform and at last we will predict RMSE (Root Mean Square Error) using SVM classifier. Basically, in this paper we are trying to decrease the RMSE while detecting malaria parasite and we will predict the error using SVM classifier and also with Ensemble classifier and we will compare which one is better using regression analysis.

Published: March 2023

This study analyzes the amount of influence that age, sex, educational attainment, socio-economic status (SES) and religion contribute to the communicative competence of individuals in discussing certain types of health risk behaviors. Competence is a product of social experience or is highly dependent on the context in which the interaction takes place. Through secondary data analysis, this study examines competency levels in discussing smoking, drugs, alcohol and sex and correlates them with the parent’s age, sex, educational attainment, SES and religion. Results show that some selected variables are associated with communicative competence, although mostly weak. The parent’s sex, age, and education are not significantly predictive of communication competence in discussing smoking, drugs, and alcohol, but there are significant differences on the basis of SES. Competencies to discuss sex vary. The results of the study are useful to those who seek to minimize health risk behaviors through the development of strategic communication campaign plans and programs.
Exploring the Relationship Between Interpersonal Communication and Use of Modern Method Family Planning in the Philippines
Authors: David Clarissa , Atun Jenna Mae
Published: March 2023

This study seeks to describe the different social influence sources and processes that affect people’s attitudes and behaviors regarding the use of modern methods of family planning and the realization of fertility desires. Through qualitative in-depth interviews and focused group discussions, we found that age, marital status, urban residence and gender are some of the factors that determine the source and direction of social influence. Women’s social networks are generally supportive of modern method use, but their partners are not. Their sources of influence include mothers, sisters and other female members of the extended family. Men’s social networks on the other hand, which consist of brothers and groups of friends, are a venue for the spread of myths and fallacies about condoms and hormonal contraceptives. Community norms about the inappropriateness of premarital sex and of not marrying a woman that one gets pregnant are learned through parents primarily. Implications on interventions campaign planning are discussed.
In the Minds of Philippine Audiences: Construction of the Malaysian Culture from Two TV Soap Operas
Authors: Agoncillo-Quirante Aleli , Sugbo Victorio
Published: March 2023

Prolonged exposure to specific media programs has been observed to develop certain perceptions, attitudes and particular constructions of reality. As a powerful medium that captures the attention of a wide range of audiences, television (TV) soap operas shape and reshape the latter’s values and beliefs. This paper aims to determine what information co-productions of Philippine and Malaysian TV companies provide Filipino viewers in terms of knowledge constructions about Malaysia and its culture. Two TV soap operas, otherwise known as telenovela or teleserye, formed the bases of the investigation. Data were gathered from 80 discussants through Focus Group Discussions. Findings reveal that much of the mediated constructions of Malaysia and its culture have been limited to what the narrative yarns of the TV soap operas provide. Since the TV soap operas were so structured as to tell stories about cultural conflicts and human struggles, viewers’ constructions of Malaysia and its culture revolved mainly around interracial relations, arranged marriages, the practice of Islam, landmarks of Malaysia and the Chinese presence in that country.
Evaluating the Application Value of Radio Technology in Selected Provinces in China
Authors: Peng Duan
Published: March 2023

There is a prevailing belief that due to inadequacy of funds and education, radio should be the medium for people in the underdeveloped areas of China. However, the author has found out through field investigations that notwithstanding its important role in developed areas, radio technology is not widely used in those places. In transforming Chinese society, numerous reasons polarize the application value of radio technology which the author evaluates in present-day Chinese society, using a combination of quantitative and qualitative methods that yielded a large amount of first-hand survey and interview data. The study analyzes the development situation in poor as well as rich areas of China and explores the prospects of radio in the country. It reinterprets the development of radio from a completely new perspective with the aid of some theories in mass communication.

Background/aim: Substance abuse and mental illness cause considerable health loss in Norway. Prescription and survey data indicate increased occurrence of such ailments among young people. The aim of this study was to explore the trend in the assignment of mental health diagnoses among primary care physicians and in specialist health care.

Methods: We linked data from the national primary care register Norwegian Control and Payment of Health Reimbursements Database (KUHR) and the Norwegian Patient Registry for specialist care for the years 2008–2018 for individuals born between 1986 and 1997. For each episode of care, we received information on age, sex and registered diagnosis. We estimated proportions of the population that had been diagnosed with various mental illnesses for the age groups 15–21 and 22–28 in the birth cohorts 1993–1997 and 1986–1990.

Results: In the cohort that turned 21 years of age in 2018, 30 % of women and 23 % of men had been diagnosed with a mental illness during the period 2012–2018. The proportions increased from 23 % for women and 21 % for men in the cohort that turned 21 years of age in 2014. A similar increase was observed among those aged 22–28. Anxiety and depression-related diagnoses accounted for the greatest increases in both age groups.

Implications: We find increased assignment of mental health diagnoses for young people during the period 2008–2018. This increase may be caused by a higher occurrence of mental health problems and illnesses, expanded treatment provision, change of diagnostic criteria among clinicians and/or a lower threshold for seeking help.

The paper establishes the relationship between enzymatic activity and proliferation of he- patocytes. Low-intensity physical activity is shown not to influence the activity of hepatocytes enzymes and their proliferation. Hard work results in decreased activity of redox enzymes, at the same time, proliferation of hepatocytes is inhibited for a long time. The most favorable is moderate load, which leads to activation of oxidative-reducing enzymes and increases the number of binucleated hepatocytes, which persist for a long time after the end of the experiment.
