Authors: Gupta Ankit , Paliwal Vimal Kumar , Bharatveer Swati , Mishra Prabhakar , Jain Neeraj
Published: October 2023

The clinical and radiological end points to stop anti-tubercular treatment in central nervous system (CNS) tuberculoma are not known. This retrospective study was done to determine end points to stop anti-tubercular treatment and find the predictors of poor outcome in patients with CNS tuberculoma. Patients who were admitted with a diagnosis of brain/spine tuberculoma between January 2015 and December 2019 and who completed a minimum of 1-year follow-up were enrolled. Clinical and radiological end points to stop anti-tubercular treatment and predictors of death and poor outcome (modified Rankin scale > 2) were analyzed. One hundred and eight patients (male-to-female ratio, 47 [43.5%]:61 [56.5%]; brain tuberculoma, 102; spinal cord tuberculoma, 14; brain and spinal cord tuberculoma, 8) were included in the study. Median duration of anti-tubercular treatment was 24 months. Radiological resolution of tuberculoma (resolution of gadolinium-enhancing lesion, gliosis, calcification, cord atrophy, or syrinx formation) and radiological halt (no increase in size/number of tuberculoma on magnetic resonance imaging scans done 6 months apart) were used as end points to stop anti-tubercular treatment in 69 and 7 patients, respectively. Seven patients stopped their treatment by themselves, and 25 patients died. Altered sensorium, motor weakness, infarcts, hydrocephalus, and constitutional symptoms of tuberculous meningitis were predictors of poor outcome or death in CNS tuberculoma patients. Radiological resolution or radiological halt of brain/spinal cord tuberculoma was a reasonable end point to stop anti-tubercular treatment. However, this may require 24 months or more of anti-tubercular treatment. Associated tuberculous meningitis and its complications portend a poor prognosis.

Jamestown Canyon virus (JCV) (Peribunyavirdae; Orthobunyavirus) is a mosquito-borne pathogen endemic to North America. The genome is composed of three segmented negative-sense RNA fragments designated as small, medium, and large. Jamestown Canyon virus is an emerging threat to public health, and infection in humans can cause severe neurological diseases, including encephalitis and meningitis. We report JCV mosquito surveillance data from 2001 to 2022 in New York state. Jamestown Canyon virus was detected in 12 mosquito species, with the greatest prevalence in Aedes canadensis and Anopheles punctipennis. Detection fluctuated annually, with the highest levels recorded in 2020. Overall, JCV infection rates were significantly greater from 2012 to 2022 compared with 2001 to 2011. Full-genome sequencing and phylogenetic analysis were also performed with representative JCV isolates collected from 2003 to 2022. These data demonstrated the circulation of numerous genetic variants, broad geographic separation, and the first identification of lineage B JCV in New York state in 2022.

Monoidal Width
Authors: Di Lavore Elena , Sobociński Paweł
Published: October 2023

We introduce monoidal width as a measure of complexity for morphisms in
monoidal categories. Inspired by well-known structural width measures for
graphs, like tree width and rank width, monoidal width is based on a notion of
syntactic decomposition: a monoidal decomposition of a morphism is an
expression in the language of monoidal categories, where operations are
monoidal products and compositions, that specifies this morphism. Monoidal
width penalises the composition operation along ``big'' objects, while it
encourages the use of monoidal products. We show that, by choosing the correct
categorical algebra for decomposing graphs, we can capture tree width and rank
width. For matrices, monoidal width is related to the rank. These examples
suggest monoidal width as a good measure for structural complexity of processes
modelled as morphisms in monoidal categories.

Various medical applications consisting of heterogeneous requirements are supported by WBA networks. For reliable data transmission it is required to use an efficient medium access control protocol. Here, in this project, a dynamic Super frame structure-based MAC protocol is proposed by extending the standard principles from IEEE 802.15.6 which is a standard protocol, a mechanism for allocating dedicated slots with prioritization is used which is known to be Criteria Importance Through Inter-criteria Correlation, in order to assign the allocation of slots for every sensor device. Values of sensor devices are calculated based on different sensors parameters by using CRITIC method. There by we compare our proposed work with the standard IEEE 802.15.6 MAC and other MAC protocols. By simulating it is shown that our proposed MAC protocol has performed better in Reliability, Throughput, Energy Efficiency and Packet Delivery Delay. In the results it is shown that Reliability of data transmission has increased over more than 50% over the standard AIEEE 802.15.6 MAC.

CIRCULAR POLARIZATION IN A $2\mathrm{D}$ PERIODIC ARTIFICIAL ANISOTROPIC DIELECTRIC MEDIUM
Authors: Sargsyan Armen N.
Published: October 2023

The phenomenon of polarization rotation in dielectric periodic structures is quite interesting. A similar structure was used in a sample with a 2D artificial periodic structure, where the plane wave propagation method was applied. Anisotropic dielectric constants were obtained, which were used for polarization rotation, and polarization rotation in an anisotropic medium was studied based on the dielectric permittivity of the effective medium. Those relationships, quantities, and parameters depending on the dielectric medium, dielectric permittivity, and 2D periodic structure have been studied and analyzed, which provide control of the degree of anisotropy, i.e. provide a distinction between fast and slow modes, which in turn provide the best polarization rotation per unit length.

Authors: Katib Atif , Dakkak Basem , Ahmad Ahmad , Mowalwei Hamid
Published: October 2023

Background: Primary testicular lymphoma (PTL) is an uncommon and aggressive form of extra-nodal non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL), accounting for <5.0% of testicular malignancies and 1.0% to 2.0% of NHL cases with a median age at diagnosis of 66 to 68 years. PTL accounts for 1–9% of testicular malignancies and 1–2% of NHLs. There are a handful of described lymphomas in the literature affecting normally positioned testis of aged men, yet none were reported in a cryptorchid middle-aged man. PTL is an extremely aggressive malignancy with poor progression-free survival and overall survival.
Case presentation: A 47-year-old man presented to the urology clinic complaining of multiple painless swellings in the neck and groins. He also complains of back pain, drenching night sweats, a swollen right lower limb, constipation, anorexia, weight loss, and occasional vomiting. The illness's duration is 2 months. He had a right inguinal testis. Histology examination of the excised testis and lymph nodes revealed an advanced “diffuse large beta-cell lymphoma” in both. The patient was referred for oncology care.
Conclusion: It is an extremely rare case of Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma (DLBCL) in the undescended testis of a middle-aged man. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first published case of its kind about the tumor's type, testis anomaly, and patient's age.

Abstract. Health has always been a special subject of interest to humanity. Looking for an effective way to integrate it into the classroom, the pedagogical model of physical education based-health has emerged. The objective of this study has been to carry out a systematic review of all the scientific literature of the model since Haerens et al laid its foundations in 2011, both purely theoretical and empirical studies, from first grade to last year of high school (6-18 years). The methodology followed has been based on the Prisma method, looking for the terms 'health-based physical education' AND 'pedagogical model' and 'educación física relacionada con la salud’ AND 'modelo pedagógico' in the main databases (Web of Science, Scopus and Dialnet) between 2011-2023. The scientific evidence of the pedagogical model of health-based physical education has shown positive effects such as increased motivation, greater physical knowledge, better critical analysis of physical activity, greater autonomy and a transfer of learning outside the classroom. We believe that more empirical studies are needed, as well as the development and validation of a tool to verify its effects.

Authors: Medeiros Branco César Tadeu Nasser , Carlos da Silva Jonny
Published: October 2023

There is a growing trend in renewable energies for wind harvesting and power generation. As new offers for the energy sector continue to rise up, the operation and maintenance team plays a vital role in increasing the availability and decreasing downtime of wind turbines subassemblies, based on conditional monitoring of their assets. This paper developed an approach for fault detection and isolation of the pitch control system on a direct drive permanent magnet synchronous generator using dynamic modeling and digital twins. The work presents two models of wind turbines, whose conditions were replicated in a multi-domain simulation software and the analyses were conducted under rotor constant speed. One concept represents a wind turbine model with a fault in pitch system, while the other is a healthy replica or a virtual model. Through the difference between three observable variables, namely: active power, angular speed and pitch angle, it was possible to isolate and classify each type of fault in the pitch system in wind turbines.
Development of a Real-Time Electricity Meter Monitoring with Theft Detection Alert System
Authors: Mababa Jonilo C.
Published: October 2023

Rising concerns from both electricity consumers and electric distributors have highlighted the importance of monitoring electric power consumption. Thus, this study explores the creation of a Real-Time Electricity Meter Monitoring with Theft Detection Alert System. This system employs two current sensors and an Arduino Microcontroller to achieve real-time monitoring of electricity consumers’ power usage. An unauthorized tap is indicated by a variance in readings between the two sensors, while the overall power consumption is calculated using the second sensor’s data. The integration of a GSM module enables the microcontroller to convey actual consumption information and an alert of unauthorized tapping to electricity consumers. Acting as an interface for electricity consumers, an Android application was implemented. Notably, this system is adaptable for both residential and commercial electricity consumers. The collected data demonstrated a 95% accuracy rate in calculating power consumption and a 100% success rate in identifying unauthorized taps.

Authors: M. S. Ahmed Athraa , Ulrahman I. Jihad Abd , Saad Qasim Heba , K. Shather Saad
Published: October 2023

When it comes to machining, manufacturers are always striving for the best possible outcomes. The improvement of the precision and productivity of material processing is the primary goal to enhance Wire Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM) parameters. Whether it's a fragile substance or one that conducts electricity, traditional approaches generally fall short. Maximizing the benefits of machining includes higher product quality, greater production efficiency, and lower production costs. Therefore, industries work hard to fine-tune the EDM settings. Within the scope of this investigation, HSS (8X200) wire EDM parameters are optimized. Finding the ideal machining settings that enhance surface roughness (SR), material removal rate (MRR), and cutting speed (CS) while maintaining economic feasibility is the goal. The Taguchi design parameter and Grey Relational Analysis (GRA) are both utilized in this research. Machining parameters such as pulse on time, pulse off time, servo feed, and servo voltage can be designed, tested, and determined with the use of the Taguchi technique. GRA analyzes experimental data and determines optimal parameter values. In order to evaluate the quality of the machining, wire-cut machines measure SR, MRR, and CS. The settings are validated using the ANOVA. In the fifth experiment, the ideal HSS (8X200) wire EDM parameters were determined. According to the findings of the study, the factors that have the largest influence on SR, MRR, and CS are pulse on time (55.43%), servo feed (17.62%), pulse off time (14.13%), and servo voltage (12.82%).

Published: October 2023

: In the current study, glass substrates were coated with Poly Vinyl Alcohol (PVA) nanofibers that were electrospun. The solution was electrospun at 20 KV while it was still warm using various concentrations of AgNO3 (1%, 2%, and 3% (wt.). The samples collected on the collectors were subjected to scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis. The typical fiber diameter ranged from 100 nm to 250 nm. The PVA matrix successfully accommodates the Ag particles. PVA/ (1%,2%, and 3%) AgNO3 thin films have also been evaluated as gas sensors for (NO2) at various temperatures, including (120°C, 160°C, and 200°C). Doping is known to increase gas sensitivity. The results of sensing in these films are better than that of other similar materials and suggest that they can be used as high temperature sensors

Published: October 2023

The civil construction industry is a major consumer of natural resources and responsible for environmental impacts. To mitigate these impacts many researchers proposes to replace these resources with industrial or agricultural waste. Analyzed in this study the effect of the incorporation of sugarcane bagasse ashes, a byproduct of the sugar and alcohol industry, on general use mortar, verifyingtheir properties in a fresh and hardened state. For this, were prepared a conventional reference trait (cement and sand); three traces with replacement of sand by heavy ash in the proportions of 10%, 20% and 25%; and two traces with replacement of cement by light ash in the ratios of 2.5 % and 5%. It was concluded that the properties of the mortar can be improved with the incorporation of controlled percentages of sugarcane ashes. The trace in which 10% of sand was replaced by heavy ash had superior properties to the reference trace in all tests
Rethinking In-School Suspension through Restorative Practices
Authors: Bass Lacey , Gaines Rachel
Published: October 2023

This self-study focuses on the implementation of restorative practices (RP) with high school students assigned in-school suspension (ISS) for violating school rules. The investigation focuses on the use of two restorative practices (community circles and digital modules) as modes of restoration and behavioral change. Analysis of school disciplinary records and teacher reflections indicate that, overall, students were less likely to be referred to ISS again after completing the RP program and remained invested in meeting their behavioral goals. The success of the program appeared to be rooted in the ways the teacher built trusting, collaborative relationships through community circles and supported students’ development of self-regulatory skills though digital modules. However, for some students, the ability to leverage these assets outside of ISS was mitigated by other teachers’ negative perceptions of the students and their reputations as “troublemakers.” Implications for class- and school-level implementation of RP are discussed.
The effect of active gas aspiration to reduce pain after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy for morbid obesity: a randomized controlled study
Authors: Erdem Hasan , Gençtürk Mehmet , Çetinkünar Süleyman , Şişik Abdullah , Sözen Selim
Published: October 2023

Introduction

Residual, intra-abdominal CO2 contributes to abdominal distension and pain after laparoscopic surgery. Our aim was to investigate the effects of active gas aspiration on postoperative outcomes and pain following laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy.

Material and methods

Patients were randomly assigned to either the active gas reduction group (Group 1, n = 69) or the control group (Group 2, n = 74). After completion of the operative procedures, residual gas was aspirated with a flexible cannula in Group 1. In Group 2, gas release from the abdomen was performed using the port site by opening the gas tap only. The demographic data, body mass index, educational status, operation time, insufflated CO2 volume during the operation, and intraabdominal pressure were recorded. Postoperative pain assessment was performed using a numerical pain intensity scale (NPIS) at the 1st h, the 24th h, and the 3rd day.

Results

NPIS scores at the 24th h were significantly lower in Group 1 (p < 0.001). However, there were no significant differences in the NPIS scores following the 1st h and the 3rd day. No differences were found in the operation time (p > 0.05). According to the correlation analysis between the operation time and NPIS scores between the groups, in Group 1 the duration of surgery was significantly proportional to NPIS24. All patients were discharged from the hospital on the 4th postoperative day.

Conclusions

Active aspiration of the remaining gas just before the removal of the trocars is a simple procedure that reduces pain, leading to a more comfortable hospital stay.

Published: October 2023

The subjects of motivation and engagement in companies are the focus of several studies today. We talk, for example, about employees, competitive athletes, students and motivated or unmotivated students. In particular, in a performance- and results-oriented capitalist world, there is endless interest in how people can be motivated to work for other people's goals and at the same time "perform well." This study seeks to answer the guiding question: what are the influences of Neuroscience through Neuroleadership as a motivation and engagement factor in companies? The general objective is to analyze how Neuroleadership contributes to the processes of motivation and engagement in Organizations through correlations with Neuroscience. The methodology used was qualitative-descriptive research, based on bibliographical research where studies were evaluated using the inductive method of studies published between 2016 and 2023 relating to the topic at hand. The results found indicate that research in Neuroscience and Neuroleadership brings new knowledge about the functioning of our brain, and this applies to different worlds such as health, education, but also management and leadership. Neuroscience research brings new knowledge about how our brain works, and this applies to different worlds such as health, education, but also management and leadership. It is concluded that Neuroleadership helps to clarify the neural mechanisms underlying these different forms of motivation. Another fundamental contribution of Neuroleadership to our understanding of motivation and engagement in the workplace is the recognition that engagement is not simply a matter of job satisfaction or enjoyment. It is a complex process influenced by a variety of factors, including a sense of purpose, autonomy, mastery, and social connection.

Authors: Azevedo Ana D'Arc Martins de , Damasceno Thaila Cristina Barbosa , Fidalgo Maria Betânia de Carvalho
Published: October 2023

Este artigo resulta de um trabalho de pesquisa realizado em 2021, feito pela segunda autora. Teve como problema: Como se dá a interrelação do currículo no contexto de práticas pedagógicas decoloniais na comunidade quilombola de Poacê/Jambuaçu/Moju/Pará? Como objetivo geral: Conhecer a interrelação do currículo no contexto de práticas pedagógicas decoloniais na comunidade quilombola de Poacê/Jambuaçu/Moju/Pará. E, como objetivos específicos: identificar o entendimento da comunidade sobre sua ancestralidade e saberes; analisar a relação entre a escola e a comunidade do Poacê, no fomento da cultura local; e revelar sobre currículo e práticas pedagógicas decoloniais locais. Alguns autores em destaque: CANDAU (2008), FLEURI (2003), MOREIRA (1990). Adotou-se o estudo de caso. Entrevistas com 11 participantes. A pesquisa considerou que Poacê é um espaço de saberes culturais, mas a escola,  ainda de forma tímida, faz referência a esses saberes, o que gera um distanciamento do conhecimento popular, reforçando as ideias advindas da colonização.
Leitura do mundo e da palavra: a leitura decolonial de fotografias no ensino de Biologia
Authors: Barbosa Alessandro Tomaz , Diniz Vanessa Lessio , Cassiani Suzani
Published: October 2023

Este artigo tem como objetivo compreender a pluralidade de sentidos na leitura de imagens fotográficas no ensino de Biologia em Timor-Leste. Partindo da perspectiva da Análise de Discurso (brasileira) e inspiradas nos pressupostos freirianos, analisamos a indicotomizável relação entre palavra e mundo. Os resultados sinalizam que as relações entre as palavras e as fotografias, registradas pelos professores timorenses da Educação Básica, transitam entre três modalidades de pensamento: 1) pensamento religioso; 2) pensamento natural; 3) pensamento histórico. Assim, defendemos que ler e escrever na educação em ciências é, antes de mais nada, aprender a ler o mundo, compreender o seu contexto e as formações discursivas, numa relação dinâmica que vincula linguagem e realidade. Consideramos relevante compreender as histórias de leitura e a memória discursiva em jogo na leitura das fotografias, de maneira que possamos construir diálogos decolonizadores e uma leitura da “palavramundo”.

Experience with direct-acting antivirals in genotype 1–5 infected chronic hepatitis C patients in Turkey
Authors: Sahin Ahmet , Akay Ozlem
Published: October 2023

BACKGROUND:

Hepatitis C virus (HCV) can cause chronic liver disease, hepatic cirrhosis, hepatocellular carcinoma, liver transplantation, and death. Early diagnosis and treatment are thus vital.

OBJECTIVES:

We aimed to investigate the sustained virological response (SVR) rates in chronic hepatitis C patients infected with different genotypes, receiving different direct-acting antiviral treatments (DAAs).

DESIGN:

Retrospective, observational

SETTING:

Clinic for infectious diseases and clinical microbiology

PATIENTS AND METHODS:

Patients diagnosed with chronic hepatitis C who applied to our outpatient clinic between January 2016 and November 2022 and were treated with a DAA were included in the study. Treatment responses were evaluated after each patient was treated with either ledipasvir plus sofosbuvir (LDV/SOF), LDV/SOF + ribavirin (RBV), SOF+RBV, ombitasvir/paritaprevir/ritonavir plus dasabuvir (OBV/PTV/r±DSV) ±RBV, or glecaprevir plus pibrentasvir (GLE/PIB).

MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES:

Sustained virological response (SVR) rates at 12 weeks (SVR12) post-treatment.

SAMPLE SIZE:

360 patients.

RESULTS:

Of 360 patients who met the inclusion criteria, 218 (60.6%) were male and 142 (39.4%) were female with no statistically significant differences in SVR between sexes (
P
=.252). Nearly all had a SVR (n=353, 98.1%). The median (IQR) age of the patients was 56 (30.3) years. There were 42 (11.7%), 199 (55.3%), 4 (1.1%), 106 (29.4%), 8 (2.2%) and 1 (0.3%) patient with genotypes 1a, 1b, 2, 3, 4 and 5, respectively, and SVR12 did not differ significantly between genotypes (
P
=.066). SVR12 response was higher in 246 (68.3%) non-injecting drug users compared to 114 (31.7%) injecting drug users (
P
=.005). The SVR12 response was achieved in 100% of patients with genotypes 1a, 2, 4, and 5. SVR12 response could not be obtained in 1 of 199 genotype 1b patients and 6 of 106 genotype 3 patients. The common feature of 6 reinfection patients with genotype 3 was that they were using intravenous drugs. These 6 patients were reinfected due to their continued intravenous drug use.

CONCLUSION:

In conclusion, DAAs provide high SVR12 rates in cirrhotic/non-cirrhotic, pegylated interferon-naive/experienced patient groups and in patients infected with all genotypes. DAAs have a high SVR12 rate in patients with chronic hepatitis C.

LIMITATIONS:

Retrospective, single-center.
ADİ ORTAKLIK ÇERÇEVESİNDE EKSİK (SAKAT) ORTAKLIK DOKTRİNİ
Authors: Dinç Muhsin İshak
Published: October 2023

Türk Borçlar Kanunu’na göre adi ortaklık, iki ya da daha fazla kişinin emeklerini ve mallarını ortak bir amaca erişmek üzere birleştirmeyi üstlendikleri bir sözleşmesel ilişkidir. Kanun koyucu tarafından TBK md. 620 vd. maddelerinde temel ortaklık tipi olarak düzenlenen adi ortaklığın kurulması istisnai haller haricinde herhangi bir şekil şartına tabi değildir. Ancak ortaklar arasında kurulan sözleşmenin emredici hükümlere veya istisnai şekil şartlarına aykırılığı nedeniyle geçersiz hale gelmesi bazı sorunları da beraberinde getirecektir. Eğer sözleşme hükümsüz ise, hükümsüzlüğün hukuki sonucunun ortaklık bakımından geçerli olup olmadığı sorunu ortaya çıkar. Kanun tarafından hükümsüzlüğe ilişkin getirilen düzenlemeler ise esas olarak şirketler hukukunun gereksinimlerini karşılamamaktadır. Çalışmamızda, adi ortaklık ilişkileri ile sınırlı kalmak üzere, eksik (sakat) ortaklık doktrininin tarihçesi ile Alman hukukunun konuya bakış açısı kapsamlı ve karşılaştırmalı olarak ele alınacaktır.

Published: October 2023

Purpose. The purpose of the article is to assess the export potential of countries, to determine the directions of food export development and the place of Ukraine in it, taking into account socio-economic factors by applying the authors’ methodical approach.

Methodology / approach. The article considers world food and agriculture exports, the export potential of countries is assessed taking into account socio-economic factors. The authors select and apply a combination of methods necessary to achieve the goal of the study, which characterize specificities of individual countries of the world: method of systematic generalization, dynamic series analysis, factor analysis, regression analysis, comparisons, rating evaluation, integral approach.

Results. With the help of factor and integral analysis of macroeconomic indicators, we established that the structure of world exports and the share of food and agriculture is depended on the level of development and specialization of countries. In particular, the share of food and agriculture exports of developed countries is smaller compared to developing countries. The Netherlands and Germany are the leaders of the ranking in terms of food and agriculture export potential. According to forecasts, based on current trends, the export of bakery products in Ukraine and Poland should increase in 2023 compared to 2020 by 32.7 and 21.6 %, respectively. Effective socio-economic development, balanced export policy, modernization of production and logistics will contribute to the growth of export of food and agriculture with high added value.

Originality / scientific novelty. Based on the authors’ methodical approach, the work improved the integral indicator of export development and the ranking of countries by export potential, taking into account socio-economic conditions. Factor models were built and the factors of food and agriculture export development were determined.

Practical value / implications. The improved methodical approach to evaluating the effectiveness of global food and agriculture exports provides an opportunity to establish competitive advantages in the market and plan exports. Developing countries will have the opportunity to make the right choice of export products, which will provide them with added value and an increase in supply volumes.
