Authors: Cui Jiawei , Sun Hongyu , Jia Yujie
Published: June 2023

Based on the increase of people's environmental awareness and the application of blockchain technology in various fields, this paper combines blockchain and green supply chain, establishes a secondary supply chain led by manufacturers and followed by retailers, explores the pricing strategy and blockchain platform adoption conditions of the traditional green supply chain compared with the green supply chain that joins the blockchain platform, and considers the pricing strategy of government-subsidized manufacturers and blockchain platform adoption The paper also considers the pricing strategies and blockchain platform adoption conditions of government-subsidised manufacturers. Firstly, the paper finds that green supply chain companies do not join blockchain platforms in all cases. Manufacturers and retailers are motivated to join blockchain platforms when the cost of operating the platform is low and consumer trust in the value of the product is low. This is because the benefits of increased demand due to increased consumer trust in green products more than compensate for the cost of operating a blockchain platform. However, when companies join the blockchain platform, the retail price of green products will rise and consumers will not benefit from the blockchain platform. When the government subsidises manufacturers, manufacturers, retailers and consumers all benefit from the blockchain platform when green supply chain companies join the blockchain platform. Furthermore, demand for green products does not always increase when there are government subsidies.

Effect of Lawsuits on Professional Well-Being and Medical Error Rates Among Orthopaedic Surgeons
Authors: Adelani Muyibat A. , Hong Zachery , Miller Anna N.
Published: June 2023

Introduction:

Orthopaedic surgery is one of the most cited specialties among legal claims. Malpractice lawsuits are financially burdensome, increase defensive practices, and incur a notable emotional toll on defendants. We sought to determine the effect of malpractice lawsuits on professional well-being and self-reported medical errors among orthopaedic surgeons.

Methods:

We surveyed 305 members of the American Orthopaedic Association to collect information on experiences with medical malpractice lawsuits, demographic and practice characteristics, professional well-being on the Professional Fulfillment Index, and self-reported medical errors. Multivariable logistic regression identified predictors of malpractice lawsuits, professional well-being, and self-reported medical errors.

Results:

Seventy-three percent (224 of 305) respondents had been involved in a medical malpractice lawsuit. The odds of experiencing a malpractice lawsuit increased by seven percent with each year in practice (OR = 1.07, 95% CI: 1.04 to 1.10, P < 0.001) and with specialization in spine surgery. Respondents with a lawsuit in 2 years before the survey reported comparable professional well-being and medical error rates with those without a lawsuit. However, compared with respondents without a lawsuit, respondents with a lawsuit more than 2 years in the past were less likely to report burnout (OR = 0.43, 95% CI: 0.20 to 0.90, P = 0.03) and more likely to report a medical error in the past year, which resulted in patient harm (OR = 3.51, 95% CI: 1.39 to 8.91, P = 0.008).

Discussion:

While malpractice lawsuits negatively affect professional well-being, this effect resolves with time. The effect on medical errors may be more permanent; orthopaedic surgeons who have experienced a lawsuit reported greater rates of medical errors even after these legal issues have been settled. Among orthopaedic surgeons dealing with lawsuits, supportive interventions to protect professional well-being and mitigate the factors which lead to greater medical errors are needed.

Level of Evidence:

Prognostic Level III.

A HISTORICAL STUDY OF CONTRIBUTION OF MUGHALS FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE TOURISM INDUSTRY IN JAMMU AND KASHMIR
Authors: Yousuf Rather Aqib
Published: June 2023

The tourism literature of today frequently combines all of the Mughal contributions to Kashmir. Kashmir had a significant role in the magnificent Mughal Empire. The Valley was close to the Central Asian border in the Kabul area. Strong dynastic monarchs like Akbar, Jahangir, Shah-i-Jahan, and Aurangzeb ruled it. The region's trade and commerce were boosted by the Mughals' conquest because it put an end to the region's long-running domestic fighting, built a centralized government, did away with toll charges, and improved and widened its highways. The damaged economy of the province was also fixed by the maintenance of stability and the agriculture system changes. By taking a number of initiatives for the development of the tourism industry in Jammu and Kashmir, it protected the region's emperors from squandering their enormous wealth on the construction of temples, parks, and wellness resorts and inns, effectively transforming the territory into a "Heaven on Earth." Hence, this paper discusses the influence and contribution of the Mughals for transforming Kashmir a beautiful tourist spot of the world.

Knowledge, attitude, and practice toward antibiotic use and antibiotic resistance among 2nd-year medical students: A cross-sectional study
Authors: S Mohan , S Kishore , H Hemanth
Published: June 2023

Background: Antibiotics are probably one of the most successful forms of chemotherapy in the history of medicine. Their use has significantly reduced the mortality and morbidity associated with infectious disease. The irrational and overuse of antibiotics clearly drive the evolution of resistance. Epidemiological studies have demonstrated that a direct relationship between antibiotic consumption and the emergence and dissemination of resistant bacteria strains leads to increased mortality.

Aims and Objective: The aims and objectives of the study are to evaluate knowledge, attitude, and practice toward antibiotic use and its resistance.

Materials and Methods: After getting approval of the Ethics Committee of Mysore Medical College and Research Institute, Mysore, and obtaining written informed consent from 2nd-year medical undergraduates studying in Mysore Medical College and Research Institute, a self-administered, structured, and pre-tested questionnaire was used. The questionnaire was adopted from previously conducted similar studies and modified to fit with the current setup.

Results: 64% of the students agree that antibiotics are inappropriate for use in viral infections, 58.4% of the participants disagreed on the safety of antibiotic usage, while 67.8% marked a negative response, when asked if they share the antibiotics with family members.

Conclusion: More emphasis should be given on topic-like antibiotic usage and its resistance during UG teaching program, which goes a long way and help in reduction of antibacterial resistance development.

Authors: Kumar Abhishek , Krishna Prasad
Published: June 2023

Background: Nerve conduction velocities (NCVs) represent correct methods to study the peripheral nerve being capable in estimating nerve-related situation. It aids in distinguishing from a nerve injury to situation where muscles are pretentious due to a nerve lesion, while, in that respect, many dissimilarities in testimonial use to NCV in dissimilar nerves with regard to place, sex, mass, and other ethnographical facts, i.e., span of life. This has been viewed in performing nerve conduction studies while ethnographical part differs for different geological region.

Aims and Objectives: The view of present work is to do the NCV studies in right median nerve with usual grown-up people and to study the outcome of age on it.

Materials and Methods: A total 110 healthy participants for length of life of 20 and 50 years, with none nerve lesion, examined at IMCHRC, Malwa. Each of the trial had been carried out in JAVA RMS Aleron-201 version. Analysis on SPSS-10 version.

Results: The mean of NCV firstly rises among the ages of 20–30 years and 31–40 years, comes after by a fall in the mean NCV of elbow–wrist segment significantly fall while the mean of age rises with proceeding length of life. It is to be noted that NCV was conversely connected with rise in length of life of the volunteer with mean NCV of Set 1 >Set 2, Set3, Set 4 with P < 0.05 which is toply remarkable.

Conclusion: Usual parameter for conductivity in peripheral nerves has been used in the test of peripheral nerve lesion. Age has a definitive effect on NCV. Hence, these biotic factors have to be taken into consideration during interpretation of results during nerve conduction studies. Therefore, it should also be used for research purposes and in analytic approach.
Comparison of Leptin, Leptin Receptor, Vitamin D and Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor Levels in Major Depressive Disorder and Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder in Children and Adolescents
Authors: Miniksar Dilsad , Gocmen Ayse
Published: June 2023

Objective: Data on effects of vitamins, hormones and neurotrophic factors on the etiology of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and major depressive disorder (MDD) in children is limited. We hypothesized that serum vitamin D, brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), leptin, and leptin receptor levels are different in these patients, and that aforementioned biomarkers may affect symptom severity and risk of suicide.
Methods: This study included 33 ADHD, 29 MDD patients and 35 healthy controls. The Turgay DSM-IV-Based Child and Adolescent Disruptive Behavioral Disorders Screening and Rating Scale (T-DSM-IV-S) was used to assess the severity of ADHD, while Children Depression Inventory (CDI) and the Suicide Probability Scale (SPS) were used to measure the severity of depression and suicide risk in the MDD group. Serum vitamin D, BDNF, leptin, and leptin receptor levels were measured from participants’ venous blood samples.
Results: Vitamin D and leptin receptor levels were significantly higher in the control group than in the patient groups, and leptin levels were significantly higher in the ADHD group than in the MDD and control groups. There was no difference between the groups in terms of BDNF levels. No significant correlations between ADHD duration, subtype, severity, depression severity, suicide risk, and vitamin D, BDNF, leptin, and leptin receptor levels were found.
Conclusion: Although current research supports that BDNF, vitamin D, leptin, and leptin receptor levels may be involved in the etiopathogenesis of MDD and ADHD, large-scale studies are needed to better evaluate the effects of these factors.

Published: June 2023

Psychiatric disorders are very common all over the world, cause significant disability, and impose a heavy burden on both the individual and the society due to the loss of workforce. Unlike other diseases, phenomenological structure is still used in the diagnosis of mental disorders. The etiology of psychiatric disorders is not fully known. Because of this situation, treatment for the etiology cannot be performed. Treatment of psychiatric disorders differs from person to person, according to genetic characteristics. Existing treatment approaches take time to take effect, and resistance and unresponsiveness to treatment constitute serious problems in a significant portion of patients. Understanding the etiology and psychopathological processes of mental disorders is extremely important in terms of developing new treatment strategies. The number of studies aimed at understanding the neurobiology of psychiatric disorders is increasing rapidly. New pharmacological approaches in the treatment of obesity, delirium and sleep disorders, which have come to the fore in this field in recent years, have created excitement. Studies examining the effects of naltrexone/bupropion and phentermine/topiramate extended-release forms in the treatment of obesity are promising. Similarly, it is interesting to suggest that dexmedetomidine, a selective alpha 2 adrenergic agonist agent, may be a suitable option for the treatment of delirium. One of the promising psychopharmacological treatment approaches in recent years is the use of Orexin Receptor Antagonists (ORAs) in the treatment of insomnia. It has the potential to revolutionize the pharmacological treatment of insomnia. In this article, it is aimed to contribute to the literature by reviewing studies on current and new pharmacological treatment approaches in the treatment of obesity, delirium and insomnia.

Published: June 2023

Dental pulp and periodontium have different communication routes including, e.g., apical foramen, accessory canals and dentin tubules. Scaling, planing and root surface treatment with ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA)-based conditioner are used in regenerative periodontal procedures. Such treatment may generate pathological communication between the two structures due to interruption of the vascular pedicle or migration of bacteria and/or inflammatory byproducts from deep periodontal pockets, which may generate pulp pathology. Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of minimally invasive periodontal regenerative surgery on pulp vitality status in single-rooted and multi-rooted teeth associated to infraosseous defects extending to the middle and apical thirds. Materials and Method: This was a retrospective study on 30 teeth from 14 patients who received care between August 2018 and August 2019 at the postgraduate Department of Specialization in Periodontics of the Buenos Aires University School of Dentistry (FOUBA). Clinical and radiographic endodontic diagnosis was performed 6 months after the minimally invasive regenerative periodontal treatment. Results: Only two out of the 30 teeth presented changes in pulp status following regenerative periodontal procedure: irreversible pulpitis at 30 days and pulp necrosis at 180 days post-treatment. The rate for risk of change in pulp vitality status was 6.7%. Teeth with grade I and II furcation lesions (n=9) presented no change in pulp status. Conclusions: Regenerative periodontal surgery had no significant influence on pulp status in single-rooted and multi-rooted teeth with infraosseous defects extending to the level of the middle and apical third.

Published: June 2023

The South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC) region is an important player in the world agriculture trade. They have vast potential to strengthen their position in global agricultural trade due to theregion's opportunities to increase agricultural production combined with growing global demand. To discover the SAARC potential of agricultural trade patterns, the present paper examines the determinants of bilateral agricultural exports from 2000 to 2019. The gravity model was estimated by employing the Poisson Pseudo Maximum Likelihood (PMML) technique, including zero trade flows for panel data. The results confirm the positive and significant impact of exporter gross domestic product (GDP), importer GDP, Broder, common language, South Asian Free Trade Area (SAFTA), and India-Sri Lanka Free Trade Agreement (ISFTA) on bilateral agricultural trade inthe SAARC region. On the other hand, distance and development levels significantly negatively impact bilateral agricultural trade. Lastly, the study showed an insignificant impact of the bilateral exchange rate.

Published: June 2023

This research is aimed at investigating teachers’ and students’ perceptions on the role of grammar in English teaching learning and how grammar is taught in curriculum 13. The research employed a qualitative descriptive design. The data were gathered through questionnaire and interview. The participants involved in this research were three English teachers and thirty students of grade X and XI in a private senior high school in Bandung. The findings revealed that the teachers and students had the same view about the importance of grammar both in language teaching learning and communication. Although the majority of them agreed that the knowledge of grammar is beneficial in both speaking and writing activities, there were a few of them who disagreed its importance in speaking. Furthermore, teachers and students in this research were aware that grammar in the curriculum 13 is more appropriate to be taught under Communicative Language Teaching (in which grammar is taught integrated into communicative activities, inductively, and with contextualized grammar practice) than under Grammar Translation Method (in which grammar is taught in separate lesson, in deductive approach, and emphasizing practice of patterns). From the findings, it was recommended that grammar needs to be taught in the current curriculum using Communicative Language Teaching method.

Drama as a performing art has changed dramatically over the years in terms of production quality, story, and platform it is performed. Recently, it has diversified from tackling societal issues such as same-sex relationships. The study analyzed how to love and social issues are portrayed in selected Pinoy Boys' Love (BL) series by conducting a content analysis. The findings revealed Pinoy BL series had proven its capacity to depict love in nonromantic situations inclusively and concluded that expressing love entails more than an emotion. It also comprises expressing it through language, in which words can make individuals feel loved because of the encouragement and affirmation they get. It has also been seen that love also comprises movements in which people who cannot openly express their love for another person through words may still do so by doing kind and pleasant gestures and deeds for them. Love may also develop through time; it has been demonstrated in the BL series that spending time together can help individuals reconnect with their lovers, friends, and families and rekindle desire in people who have lost the spark in their relationship. The potential of the BL series to show the hardships that LGBT people had historically and continue to face in society was also noted, including personal-social and political-social concerns that affect them, proving that the BL series is intended to depict LGBTQIA+ themes seriously and realistically.

Modernisering van de productaansprakelijkheidsrichtlijn: innovatief en baanbrekend?

De huidige richtlijn productaansprakelijkheid is al bijna veertig jaar geldend recht. Mede door de technologische ontwikkelingen heeft de Europese Commissie op 28 september 2022 een voorstel voor een herziene en geactualiseerde productaansprakelijkheidsrichtlijn gepubliceerd. Een aantal voorgestelde wijzigingen zullen in de praktijk niet voor veel verandering zorgen, maar een aantal wijzigingen zijn wel degelijk innovatief en baanbrekend. Duidelijk is wel dat veel van de nieuwe voorgestelde regels bedoeld zijn ter bescherming van de gelaedeerde. Potentieel kunnen deze wijzigingen voor betrokken marktdeelnemers leiden tot (veel) meer risico op claims en vordering en aldus hun risico op productaansprakelijkheid vergroten.

Coconut is widely consumed raw in Ghana as refreshing coconut water and raw coconut white. The matured coconut is used tomake toffees, oil, and as an accompaniment to an enjoyed cassava/yuca croquette (a local snack called Bankye Kaklo in Twi or Agbeli Kaklo in Ewe). Coconut milk, however, is not widely used in Ghana. Three different coconut milk variants were prepared, and their nutritional values (vitamins, fat, and proteins) compared with four cow milk-based variants and one imported commercial coconut milk. The vitamins in the coconut milk were 14.1 mg/100 ml, 22.9 mg/100 ml, and 24.7 mg/100 ml compared to cow milk variants (0.46 mg/100ml, 0.42 mg/ml, 0.42 mg/100ml, 0.003 mg/100ml) and 0 mg/100 ml for commercial coconut milk. The proteins of the coconut milk were 1.8 %, 1.6 %, and 1.4 %, which were lower than the commercial cow milk with 8.2 %, 6.7 %, 5.7 %, and 7.6 %, and the commercial coconut milk with 0.2 %. In terms of the fat content, the three coconut milk variants had 8.7 %, 7.7 %, and 11.2 % respectively compared closely to the commercial cow milk with 9 %, 8 %, 8.2 %, and 9 % respectively, and commercial coconut milk with 2 %. The study also sought to find out coconut milk‟s preference to cow milk. A total of 30 people ages 16 to 45 years were randomly interviewed about their appreciation of coconut milk in their everyday meals, and 22 responded negatively. The 8 who were positive preferred to consume it as a refreshing drink other than adding it to porridge or beverage.

Background and objectives:Retained placenta can be a life-threatening experience and is believed to be associated with certain maternal demographic characteristics. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of retained placenta and its correlation with maternal demographic characteristics among pregnant women. Methods: In a case-control study, 65 women with retained placenta and 65 without it attended at the labor room of Maternity Teaching Hospital, Erbil, over the period of June 2017 to July 2018 were investigated. Using a specifically designed questionnaire,required data on the participants’ obstetric history, general examination findings, vital sign, and obstetric and demographic characteristics were collected. Most cases of retained placenta were observed in the age group ?35. Moreover, 29% of the women with retained placenta experienced preterm delivery, compared to 10% of control group, and the two groups were significantly in this regard. The results also revealed that the women with and without retained placenta were not significantly different in terms of their age, parity, twin pregnancy, hemoglobin on admission and after 24 hours, and postpartum anemia, and histories of cesarean section, miscarriage, dilation and curettage,preterm labor, blood transfusion, and induction, while they significantly differed with regard to their gestational age,history of retained placenta, and body mass index. Conclusion: Pre- and post-term deliveries and history of retained placenta are risk factors for retained placenta; therefore, cases with these risk factors need to be taken into careful consideration.

Background and objectives:Anatomy of the root canal system and determining the number and form of the canals are the most important steps for a successful root canal therapy without post-operative complications. The evidence supports the variability and complexity of maxillary molars. The aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of the additional mesiobuccal canals in the mesiobuccal roots, root canal configuration and root numbers of first and second permanent maxillary molars through the cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) technique. Methods:One hundred patients’ images taken of maxillary first and second molars bilaterally by cone beam computed tomography technique. Classification of first and second molar root canals was performed in accordance with Vertucci’s classifi- cation system. The patterns of anatomical variations in contralateral molars were classified according to the Zhang classification system. Results: The present study found that three roots were the most prevalent numbers of roots in the right and left, first and second molars, 96.0%, 75.0%, 97.0%, and 72.0%, respectively. In addition, the prevalence of additional mesiobuccal canals in both the right and left, first and second molars were 45.0%, 20.0%, 40.0%, and 27.0%, respectively. Conclusion: Tooth variant type I of Zheng et al classification and type I of Vertucci’s classification of the root canal system was the most prevalent type.

Background and objectives: Depression in adolescent is commonly prevalent with higher rates among patients with thalassemia. The aim of this study is to identify the prevalence of depression in adolescent with beta thalassemia ma- jor attending thalassemia main center in Erbil city /Iraq. Methods: A cross-sectional study with comparison group was carried out in Thalassemia main center, Ainkawa primary health care center, and Raparin pediatric teaching hospital in Erbil city for the period from April to August 2018. One hundred adolescent of thalassemia patients and that of normal ones ageing 10-19 years were enrolled. Patient Health Questionnaire - 9 used as a screening tool for depression and those with scores of ?10 classified to have depression. Results: The prevalence of depression among thalassemia adolescents was 67%, compared with 21% of comparison group. Mild depression was the most frequently reported category among both groups while moderate and severe ones were significantly higher among thalassemia patients. Gender, educational level, residency in rural area and suicidal risk were significantly associated with adolescence depression in both study groups. Conclusions: Depression among thalassemia adolescents is three folds higher than that of comparison group. Screening of depression could be a fundamental component of the health services provided for thalassemia patients to optimize the quality of their life.

Objective: This study was conducted to investigate chromosomal abnormalities and their correlations with clinical and radiological findings in females with primary amenorrhea (PA). Methods: Detailed forms were recorded for 470 females, including the construction of three-generation pedigrees. Peripheral venous blood was drawn, with informed consent, for cytogenetic analysis. Results: An abnormal karyotype was found in 16.38% of participants. The incidence of structural abnormalities (6.8%) exceeded that of numerical abnormalities (6.15%). Turner syndrome represented 45% of all numerical abnormalities. Furthermore, the Y chromosome was detected in 5% of females with PA. Among the structural chromosomal abnormalities detected (n=32) were mosaicism (25%), deletions (12.5%), isochromosomes (18.75%), fragile sites (3.12%), derivatives (3.12%), marker chromosomes (3.12%), and normal variants (29.125%). An examination of secondary sexual characteristics revealed that 29.6% of females had a complete absence of breast development, 29.78% lacked pubic hair, and 36.88% exhibited no axillary hair development. Radiological findings revealed that 51.22% of females had a hypoplastic uterus and 26.66% had a completely absent uterus. Abnormal ovarian development, such as the complete absence of both ovaries, absence of one ovary, one absent and other streak, or both streak ovaries, was observed in 69.47% of females with PA. Additionally 43.1%, 36.1%, 67.4%, and 8% of females had elevated levels of serum follicle-stimulating hormone, luteinizing hormone, thyroid-stimulating hormone, and prolactin, respectively. Conclusion: This study underscores the importance of karyotyping as a fundamental diagnostic tool for assessing PA. The cytogenetic correlation with these profiles will aid in genetic counseling and further management of the condition.
