Introduction: Periodontitis is an inammatory disease of the soft and hard support tissues of tooth in response to the supra and subgingival
microorganisms. In women with periodontitis, the infected periodontal tissues may act as reservoirs of bacteria and their products that can
disseminate to the foetus-placental unit causing adverse pregnancy outcomes like preterm birth. This is a cross sectional survey carried out to Aim:
access the level of knowledge, attitude, practice and awareness of Gynecologists in Jamnagar district regarding periodontal health and its
correlation with adverse pregnancy outcomes. An online structured questionnaire had bee Materials and method: n made and was distributed
through social media, responses were collected for a period of 3 months and the collected data were then subjected to statistical analysis. Result:
Out of 64 participants, 44.88% of the gynecologists answered that regular screening of pregnant patients for periodontal disease is needed and
43.75% agree that dental treatment during pregnancy can reduce pregnancy complications. Only 65.63% were aware of the association between
APO (adverse pregnancy outcomes) and periodontal disease. Collaborative treatment Conclusion: by gynaecologists and dentists help to improve
the maternal oral health, reduce the postnatal complications and increases awareness among pregnant women regarding oral hygiene and regular
dental check-up during pregnancy.

Sclerotium rolfsii (Sacc.), causing collar rot (CR) of chickpea is one of the most perilous soil-borne pathogens that parasitize chickpea at a very
early stage, therefore, leading to huge yield loss. The present experiment aimed to study the relative changes in defence-related enzymes and
phenolics which take place in chickpea (both in resistant and susceptible genotypes) upon CR infection. Emphasis was given to study the changes
in total soluble proteins, peroxidase and total phenol content at 7, 14, and 21-days post inoculation (dpi). The experiment was set up by taking
moderately resistant (MR), moderately susceptible (MS), susceptible (S) and highly susceptible (HS) genotypes and the experiment was conducted
under both inoculated and non-inoculated conditions. The results indicated that total phenol content was signicantly higher (3 folds) at 7dpi and
then declined gradually upto 21dpi. MR cultivars had higher phenol content than the (MS) and the susceptible non-inoculated control. Total soluble
protein content decreased with the days after post-inoculation and this reduction is greater in the susceptible cultivar as compared to the MR
cultivars. Total soluble protein content was 3 times higher in the inoculated cultivars than in the in-inoculated control. Peroxidase (POD) activity
was also decreased from 7dpi to 21dpi and maximum POD activity was recorded at 7dpi in MR cultivars (12.61 g-1 fresh wt.) than the susceptible
one (1.31 g-1 fresh wt.). Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was also done to compare the extent of the mycelial network within the xylem
vessels of inoculated MR, MS and susceptible cultivars.

THE INCREASE OF LIFE EXPECTANCY IN ROMANIA, A FACTOR DETERMINED BY A STABLE FINANCIAL SUSTAINABILITY OF THE PUBLIC AND PRIVATE HEALTH SYSTEM
Authors: Toma Gilda
Published: March 2023

We live in a modern but transitory society, with the determining effects of economic crises, pandemics, diseases or chronic conditions that cannot
be detected in time, war, immigrations that cannot be controlled, but can be explained in each country by the potential of each country's governance
state, social, economic, political. We already have an aging demographic population that requires attention in terms of the conditions for providing
medical services, on time, preventively, in hospital units equipped with technology, with qualied medical personnel, who practice their medical
act correctly, transparently, humanely, so that the patient-medical staff relationship is efcient and benecial for both parties. We can say that the
funding sources of the health system, whether public or private, are diversied, thus offering possibilities of their sustainability over time, for
detailed programs on hospital units, in rural and urban environments. It is necessary to stimulate qualied medical personnel, such as after the
graduation of university and post-graduate studies both in the country and abroad, to stop their massive emigration, for full coverage with qualied
potential in the health system. Any state is healthy if it has a healthy population, t and able to work. The different demographic conditions, the
population diversied by age, sex, origin, nationality, make our country dene the strategies necessary to ensure a viable, sustainable health system
with positive effects on the population. The situation of the SARS-COV 2 pandemic, the effects of economic crises, must become situations that
can be mastered, regardless of the transitory conditions, so that there are no negative repercussions on the population. The health of any citizen can
be controlled over time, giving prevention through family medicine an important role in the timely detection of both chronic and communicable
diseases, that is, through a correct cause-effect analysis. The National Health Insurance House has an important role in the collection and
distribution of funding sources for the health system, but also as a mediator between hospital units and medical service providers.

Singer’s algebraic transfer for all ranks s>5 and the negation of the dimension results for the graded spaces F2⊗A F2[x1,...,xs] in degrees s+ 5
Authors: Võ Phúc Đặng
Published: March 2023

Let $P_s:= \mathbb F_2[x_1,x_2,\ldots ,x_s]$ be the graded polynomial algebra over the prime field of two elements, $\mathbb F_2$, in $s$ variables $x_1, x_2, \ldots , x_s$, each of degree one. This algebra is considered as a graded module over the  mod-2 Steenrod algebra, $\mathscr {A}$. The classical "hit problem", initiated by Frank Peterson [Abstracts Amer. Math. Soc. 833 (1987), 55-89], concerned with seeking a minimal set of $\mathscr A$-module $P_s.$ Equivalently, when $\mathbb F_2$ is an $\mathscr A$-module concentrated in degree 0, one can write down explicitly a monomial basis for the $\mathbb Z$-graded vector space over $\mathbb F_2$:

$$ QP_s:= \mathbb F_2 \otimes_{\mathscr A} P_s = P_s/\mathscr A^+\cdot P_s,$$

where $\mathscr A^{+}$ denotes the augmentation ideal of $\mathscr A.$ The problem is unresolved in general. In this paper, we study the hit problem for $P_s$ with $s\geq 5.$ More explicitly, we first compute explicitly the dimension of $QP_s$ for $s = 5$ in the generic degree $21\cdot 2^{t}-5$ with $t = 1.$ Note that the problem when $t = 0$ was solved by N. Sum [Vietnam J. Math. 49 (2021), 1079-1096]. Next, we study the dimension of $QP_s$ in degrees $s+5$ for $8\leq s\leq 9.$ This study corrects some results in Moetele and Mothebe's paper [East-West Journal of Mathematics 18 (2016), 151-170]. We also give an explicit formula for the dimension of $QP_s$ in degree $14$ for all $s > 0$ and in degree $15$ for all $s > 0,\, s\neq 10.$ As applications, we investigate William Singer's conjecture [Math. Z. 202 (1989), 493-523] on the algebraic transfer of rank $5$ in degrees $21\cdot 2^{t}-5$ for all $t\geq 0$ and of ranks $s > 0$ in internal degrees $d,\, 13\leq d\leq 15.$ This is a completely new result of proving the Singer conjecture for all ranks $s$ in certain internal degrees. In particular, our results have shown that any element in the $Sq^{0}$-families $\{\chi_t=(Sq^{0})^{t}(\chi_0)\in {\rm Ext}_{\mathscr A}^{5, 21\cdot 2^{t+1}}(\mathbb F_2, \mathbb F_2)|\, t\geq 0\}$ and $\{D_1(t)=(Sq^{0})^{t}(D_1(0))\in {\rm Ext}_{\mathscr A}^{5, 57\cdot 2^{t}}(\mathbb F_2, \mathbb F_2)|\, t\geq 0\}$ belongs to the image of the algebraic transfer of rank $5.$ For higher ranks, we explore the behavior of the algebraic transfer of rank 7 in the generic degrees $23\cdot 2^{t}-7$ for $t = 0$ and $\ell\cdot 2^{t}-7$ for $\ell\in \{9,\, 16\},\,  t\leq 3.$ Our results then claim that the non-zero elements $Pc_0\in {\rm Ext}_{\mathscr A}^{7, 23\cdot 2^{0}}(\mathbb F_2, \mathbb F_2),$\ $k_0 = k\in {\rm Ext}_{\mathscr A}^{7, 9\cdot 2^{2}}(\mathbb F_2, \mathbb F_2)$ and $h_6D_2\in {\rm Ext}_{\mathscr A}^{7, 2^{7}}(\mathbb F_2, \mathbb F_2)$ are not in the image of the transfer, and that every indecomposable element in the $Sq^{0}$-family $\{Q_2(t) = (Sq^{0})^{t}(Q_2(0))\in {\rm Ext}^{7, 2^{t+6}}_{\mathscr A}(\mathbb F_2, \mathbb F_2):\, t\geq 0\}$ belongs to the image of the transfer.
A Boolean Algebra Based Rule Extraction Algorithm That Extracts If-then Classification Rules from Three-layer Neural Networks with General Inputs
Authors: Hwang Chun-Kai
Published: March 2023

 We present a Boolean algebra based algorithm to extract if-then classification rules from supervised learning feedforward neural networks to solve the black-box problem of the decision process of the neural networks. This algorithm is called the BAB-G rule extraction algorithm, which stands for Boolean Algebra Based for General inputs. According to the concept of discretizing continuous hidden neuron activation values, we present the BAB-G rule extraction algorithm, which can be applied to three-layer feedforward neural networks with discrete, continuous, or mixed inputs. The antecedent parts of the if-then rules obtained from this algorithm are slanting hyperplanes. During the rule extraction procedure, redundant hidden neurons can be removed without affecting the functionality of the neural networks. Some empirical results on the data sets from the UCI repository of machine learning database are given for comparing our rule extraction algorithm and C5.0 decision tree algorithm. For these datasets, statistical hypothesis tests show that the rules obtained from our algorithm achieve the same classification accuracy as the neural networks. Moreover, our rules are better than the C5.0 decision tree both on comprehensibility and on accuracy for these datasets. 
ClusTop: An unsupervised and integrated text clustering and topic extraction framework
Authors: Chen Zhongtao , Mi Chenghu , Duo Siwei , He Jingfei , Zhou Yatong
Published: March 2023

Text clustering and topic extraction are two important tasks in text mining. Usually, these two tasks are performed separately. For topic extraction to facilitate clustering, we can first project texts into a topic space and then perform a clustering algorithm to obtain clusters. To promote topic extraction by clustering, we can first obtain clusters with a clustering algorithm and then extract cluster-specific topics. However, this naive strategy ignores the fact that text clustering and topic extraction are strongly correlated and follow a chicken-and-egg relationship. Performing them separately fails to make them mutually benefit each other to achieve the best overall performance. In this paper, we propose an unsupervised text clustering and topic extraction framework (ClusTop) which integrates text clustering and topic extraction into a unified framework and can achieve high-quality clustering result and extract topics from each cluster simultaneously. Our framework includes four components: enhanced language model training, dimensionality reduction, clustering and topic extraction, where the enhanced language model can be viewed as a bridge between clustering and topic extraction. On one hand, it provides text embeddings with a strong cluster structure which facilitates effective text clustering; on the other hand, it pays high attention on the topic related words for topic extraction because of its self-attention architecture. Moreover, the training of enhanced language model is unsupervised. Experiments on two datasets demonstrate the effectiveness of our framework and provide benchmarks for different model combinations under this framework.

Fast QRS Complex Detection Algorithm Based on RMS Shifting Concept for Heart Rate Estimation Using an Electrocardiogram
Authors: MASSALA MBOYI Gilles Yowel , Ryu Jung-Hoon , MBINDZOUKOU Pierre MOUKELI
Published: March 2023

Accurate detection of QRS complex in electrocardiogram (ECG) signals is essential for reliable estimation of the heart rate. However, traditional QRS detection algorithms often have low performance in the presence of various types of noise and signal abnormalities and require additional memory resources to track undetected peaks. In this work, we propose a novel QRS complex detection algorithm based on the root mean square (RMS) shifting concept. The concept of RMS shifting consists to remove an amount proportional to the RMS of the pre-processed signal for moving all the P and T waves of the electrocardiogram toward the negative part of the y-axis and keep only the R peaks in the positive part. Then, all the roots can be softly detected using the corollary of the intermediate value theorem known as Bolzano's theorem. The detection of R peaks is ensured by Rolle's theorem. Our proposed model has been implemented and evaluated on a diverse set of ECG datasets and its performances are comparable to that of spectral analysis based on the FFT algorithm widely used nowadays. For the construction of this model, we used a sample of an electrocardiogram signal from the MIT/BIH Arrhythmia database stored and provided by Simulink. The peaks detected by our algorithm have been verified and confirmed by the well-known Pan-Tompkins Algorithm used by MATLAB. Then, Our model has been applied to a publicly shared electrocardiogram database provided by a Japanese physiological laboratory. The comparison of the heart rate estimated by the proposed method and the spectral analysis method shows a low absolute error average (0.89 bpm), a low relative error average (1.37%), a low root mean square error (1.05 bpm), and a correlation coefficient very close to 1 (0.9938). We also measured the CPU time to assess the performance of our proposed method and we found that our algorithm is twice as fast as the conventional method. Therefore, we inferred that our model is reliable for estimating heart rate for electrocardiography applications.

Background: Packaging in 0.5ml cryotubes and 0.3ml High Security straws was used to store more nasopharyngeal samples from Covid-19 pandemic surveillance in Ivory Coast. Previous studies have reported that there would not be, under experimental conditions, a significant difference in the survival rate values (per freeze-thaw cycle) of samples between cryotubes and High Security straws. However, storage in resin straws or High Security straws leads to a slight increase in the survival of microorganisms compared to cryotubes (Thammavongs et al., 2004). Methods: Aliquoting is use like method to put nasopharyngeal specimens in cryotubes 0.5ml and in high security straws 0.3ml. Results: from April 2020 to December 2021, out of a total of 1,092,901 nasopharyngeal samples received at Pasteur Institute of Ivory Coast, 18.97 samples were placed in High Security Straws 0.3ml versus 9,441 in cryotubes 0.5ml. The results indicate that there are more nasopharyngeal samples put in the 0.3ml High Security Straws than in the 0.5ml cryotubes. Conclusion: Two of the conditions that could justify the safe cryopreservation of microorganisms contained in samples collected during a pandemic are the following: a secure closure by hermetic welding and a gain in terms of space for high-security straws compared to cryotubes.
Valgus Osteotomy for Non-Union Fracture Neck of Femur in a Child: A Case Report
Authors: Sarkar Aruddha , Sahni Saurabh , Sen Biswarup
Published: March 2023

Paediatric neck of femur fractures is rare and incorporates less than 1% of all the paediatric fractures. Complications of femoral neck fractures in children includes necrosis (AVN) of femoral head, non-union and premature closure of the proximal femoral physis— resulting in decrease of growth, coxa vara and limb-length discrepancies. In past, the incidence of non-union varied from 7% to 10%, depending on the location of the fracture in the neck of femur the incidence of non-union in these fractures have significantly reduced in the recent times due to early anatomical reduction and rigid internal fixation. Due to the small number of cases, the treatment protocols for non-union of the paediatric femoral neck fractures are not well defined. Valgus osteotomy changes the shearing force at the non-union site to compression forces which provides optimal environment for bone union. Here we present a case of 6 years old child who presented with non-united fracture of the neck of femur with coxa vara, 1 year after conservatively treated osteomyelitis of proximal femur with valgus intertrochanteric osteotomy.

Introduction: Cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma encompasses about 16% of scalp tumors. They can arise de novo or more often mark the evolution of lesions considered as non-invasive precursors: actinic keratoses and Bowen's disease more rarely, they occur on a burn scar (Marjolin's ulcer). We report a case of invasive squamous cell carcinoma on a burn scar (Marjolin's Ulcer) operated with reconstruction by advancement flap completed by a skin graft performed at the Sominé Dolo hospital in Mopti (Mali). A 62-year-old Malian man consulted for a scalp ulceration that had been evolving for 10 years. The lesion began with small trailing erosion that appeared on a burn scar. There was no notion of initial trauma and the patient had no particular history. Physical examination found a large ulceration (6×4 cm) of parietal seat on the scalp with a fibrinous bottom and a sclerotic border. There was a large left latero -cervical mass measuring 13 x 6 cm. The computed tomography of the skull did not find any bone lesions and that of the latero -cervical mass was in favor of adenopathy. Histological examination of a biopsy fragment confirmed the diagnosis of invasive squamous cell carcinoma. Deep resection removing the tumor with the periosteum exposing the parietal bone was performed. Reconstruction by advancement-rotation flap supplemented by a skin graft was performed. The management of squamous cell carcinoma is based on surgery, which is the reference treatment, against which other treatments must be compared. On the scalp, Rotation-advancement flaps are the preferred one-stage surgical repair technique.

Published: March 2023

Gastro intestinal stromal tumors (GIST) are the most common mesenchymal tumors of the gastro intestinal tract [1] and account for 80 % of all GI tumors. Approximately 30% of GISTs are malignant [2]. Occurring throughout the entirety of the GI tract, GISTs most commonly present in the stomach or small intestine [3], Most GISTs present asymptomatically. They are best identified by computed tomography (CT) scan and most stain positive for CD117 (C- Kit). For localized, resectable tumors, surgical resection remains the cornerstone of treatment. For patients with locally advanced disease, preoperative imatinib can be used to help reduce tumor burden before resection [4]. We report the case of a 48 years old patient who presented a gastric stromal tumor invading the spleen, the pancreas and a portion of the left liver. After 6 months of néo adjuvant Imatinib therapy, the patient has undergone a longitudinal gastrectomy associated with splenectomy caudal pancreatectomy and left hepatectomy in which the evolution was favorable.

Published: March 2023

Primary sinonasal neuroendocrine carcinoma (SNEC) is a rare aggressive sinonasal malignancy which typically occurs in the ethmoidal bone or sinuses, with a slight male preponderance. No risk factors have been identified. With a very few reported cases. Most patients present in advanced stages due to the lack of significant symptoms. Nomenclature has been ambiguous, but SNECs can be classified as well-, moderately- or poorly differentiated. Its treatment is not well established. We report the case of a large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma (LCNEC) in a 34 years old patient presented the occurrence of a right epistaxis. The beginning of the symptomatology goes back to 1 year before, with right nasal obstruction of progressive onset, associated with right epistaxis and bloody rhinorrhea with right chronic eye watering. Nasosinusal MRI shows a right nasal mass enhanced strongly after injection of gadolinium, extension to contralateral ethmoidal cells with orbital bone lysis and cribriform plate of the Ethmoid bone. The Histopathologic analysis of the mass biopsy showed a poorly differentiated carcinomatous tumor proliferation with positive neuroendocrine markers. The multidisciplinary decision taken was the treatment by chemotherapy before surgery.

Dalam upaya menurunkan angka kemiskinan, salah satu program yang dipercaya mampu menurunkan angka kemiskinan secara signifikan adalah adanya program pemerintah yaitu Program Keluarga Harapan (PKH). PKH diberikan kepada keluarga miskin yang masih hidup dibawah garis kemiskinan dengan melihat kriteria-kriteria yang telah ditentukan, seperti adanya komponen Ibu Hamil, Anak Usia Balita & Disabilitas, Anak Usia Sekolah SD-SMA/sederajat, dan Sosial Ekonomi. Namun yang seringkali terjadi, program tidak tersalurkan secara baik kepada rakyat miskin. Sehingga program tidak tepat sasaran. Maka dari itu, dibuatlah Sistem Pendukung Keputusan yang bertujuan untuk membantu pemerintah dalam menentukan keluarga yang menjadi prioritas dalam memperoleh bantuan PKH dengan menggunakan metode Analityc Hierarchy Process (AHP) yaitu dengam melakukan perbandingan antar kriteria yang dibuat dalam bentuk hierarki. Hasil akhir perbandingan antar kriteria dengan mendapatkan nilai bobot tertinggi dia yang berhak menerima bantuan PKH. Diharapkan adanya sistem ini memudahkan petugas pemerintah dalam menentukan keluarga yang menjadi prioritas dalam memperoleh bantuan PKH secara tepat.

Measuring Corruption as a Threat to International Security: An Emerging Indicator for Enhancement of Global Corruption Governance
Authors: Kang Sungyong
Published: March 2023

The conceptual changes to international security after the end of the Cold War, and particularly those following the al-Qaeda attacks of 2001, clarified the symbiotic relationship between corruption and international security: Corruption destroys the social political environment required to create human security and to ensure safety from terrorist attacks, and national borders increasingly fail to restrain its negative consequences.

To achieve human security though policy intervention in domestic affairs, global corruption governance relies on numerical indicators that measure corruption. By evaluating states through public comparison, indicators pressure states to improve their domestic institutions and structures to align them with the international legal regime against corruption. However, existing indicators, including the Corruption Perceptions Index and Control of Corruption, have serious deficiencies that precipitate strong criticism from scholars and practitioners.

This article suggests that the objective numerical measurement of “Corruption (0703),” one of the statistical measurements under the International Classification of Crime for Statistical Purposes (ICCS) of United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), is an emerging indicator that can enhance global corruption governance by supplementing or substituting existing indicators which are subjective numerical measurement of corruption. The significance of corruption as a threat to international security, not simply to international business, thus increases the absolute gains of Corruption (0703). Therefore, it is vital that states utilize and comply with Corruption (0703).

For this recommendation to be persuasive, however, the following three questions must be answered. Does Corruption (0703) have the qualities necessary to exert pressure on states by negatively impacting their power in a way that existing indicators cannot? Can states, which are both the subjects and objects of the Corruption (0703) measurement, realistically comply with it, and will they do so? How can the problem of state cheating to achieve a more favorable score be overcome?

To answer these questions, this article contemplates distinct characteristics of corruption between domestic criminal law and international agreements, and ultimately adopts the approach of neo-liberals, who prioritize absolute gain over relative gain and are thus optimistic about the potential for international organization and cooperation in implementing and enforcing this metric. In addition, this article often refers to the Republic of Korea as a case study because it has reached the most advanced stage of ICCS implementation.

ЗАРУБЕЖНЫЙ ОПЫТ В АУДИТОРСКИХ ПРОВЕРКАХ ЧАСТНЫХ КОММЕРЧЕСКИХ ОРГАНИЗАЦИЙ
Authors: Юсупов Р.М.

Цель этой статьи – предоставить обзор литературы о том, что мы в настоящее время знаем о затратах и преимуществах аудита счетов частных компаний. Наши основные выводы заключаются в следующем. Во-первых, существует большая неоднородность факторов, определяющих спрос на аудит в частных компаниях, и ценности, получаемой в результате аудита. Во-вторых, исследования способствуют повышению качества финансовой отчетности благодаря аудитам частных компаний и реальным экономическим выгодам от них. В-третьих, анализ затрат и выгод при аудите частных компаний зависит от конкретной фирмы, и обязательный аудит, по-видимому, не является экономически эффективным и, следовательно, экономически оптимальным для всех частных компаний. Альтернативные услуги могут лучше удовлетворять потребности, особенно небольших частных компаний. Кроме того, обязательный аудит не обязательно является оптимальным решением, поскольку частные компании с низким спросом на высококачественный аудит могут найти аудитора, который соответствует их требованиям, даже в рамках обязательного режима. Следовательно, наличие обязательного аудита не является гарантией универсального высококачественного аудита, и это кажется наиболее характерно для частных компаний, где аудиторы могут быть более склонны к проблемам независимости. В заключение мы предлагаем ряд направлений для будущих исследований.
МЕЖДУНАРОДНАЯ ПРАКТИКА ПРАВИЛ ПРЯМОГО НАЛОГООБЛОЖЕНИЯ В УСЛОВИЯХ ЦИФРОВОЙ ЭКОНОМИКИ

Published: March 2023

С быстрым развитием цифровой экономики некоторые экономические транзакции больше не полагаются на физическое существование, и процесс трудно контролировать, что оказывает определенное влияние на традиционные налоговые правила. Начиная с влияния цифровой экономики на налогообложение, в данной статье обобщаются действующие международные правила прямого налогообложения для цифровизации экономики. Путем сравнения и обобщения существующих правил прямого налогообложения цифровой экономики предполагается, что слепое принятие односторонних налоговых мер способно устранить влияние цифровой экономики на налогообложение, но это вызовет двойное налогообложение и нарушит налоговый порядок.
