Introduction: Correct radiographic interpretation depends on theavailability of high quality images, free from technique and processingerrors. Documenting the kind and the frequency of errors, as an integralpart of a quality assessment program, will help to identify and to correctexisting deficiencies. Objective: To evaluate the quality of radiographsobtained by Endodontics students from the undergraduation courseof a public university. Material and methods: A total of 1,823radiographs were analyzed, of which 1,408 were taken with the use of a film-holder and 415 without it. The radiographs were made employingthe same kind of film (Insight – Kodak) and of X-ray units (50 KV),with a 0.8-second exposure time, and they were processed in acrylicboxes using the visual method. With the help of a magnifying glass(2.5X) and a viewbox, three examiners analyzed the radiographs andregistered errors related to the following parameters: image contrast(light or dark), vertical and horizontal angulations, positioning (filmand/or radiation beam), and radiograph processing (improper fixative,stains, streaks). Results: Statistical analysis showed no significantdifferences among the examiners. The highest frequency of errors wasseen in the radiograph processing, followed by the positioning andimage contrast; light images were more often registered than dark ones.Conclusion: Considering the positioning and the vertical and horizontalangulations, the errors frequency was statistically higher in radiographstaken without a film-holder, except in the mandibular molar group,where the frequency was statistically similar in both situations.

Introdução: O estudo da erupção dentária decídua deve ser considerado, pois a escassez de literatura sobre o assunto justifica a necessidade de ampliarmos a bibliografia, principalmente a brasileira. Objetivo: A proposta deste trabalho foi verificar a cronologia da erupção decídua do primeiro dente irrompido e se existe predominância de gênero e arco dentário, mediante a análise dos prontuários das crianças atendidas nas clínicas do curso de Odontologia da Univali. Material e métodos:Foram coletados dados de 836 prontuários clínicos. Para análise dos resultados os dados foram tabulados em 3 grupos formados pelos elementos dentais e seus contralaterais que irromperam primeiro. Esses 3 grupos foram divididos em subgrupos de acordo com o gênero, sendo relatados 402 dentes para o gênero masculino e 434 para o feminino. Cada grupo dentário (51/61, 52/62 e 81/71) subdividido em gênero foi organizado conforme a idade em meses em que ocorreu a erupção. As idades variaram de 2 a 20 meses. Por intermédio dos dados obtidos foi feita a leitura dos percentuais, e os resultados foram apresentados em forma de gráficos. Resultados: O primeiro dente a irromper na cavidade oral foi o incisivo central inferior.

Evaluation of Interstitium by Lymphatic Uptake Method in Chronic Bilateral
Lower Extremity Edema
Authors: Ceylan Sule , Yilmaz Necati
Published: April 2023

Objective:

Symmetrical bilateral lower extremity edema (BLEE) needs to be treated effectively. Finding the cause of this condition increases the success of
treatment. Fluid increase in the interstitial space (FIIS) is always present as a cause or a result. Subcutaneously administered nanocolloid is
transported by uptake by lymphatic pre-collectors, and this uptake takes place in the interstitium. We aimed to evaluate the interstitium with
labeled nanocolloid and contribute to the differential diagnosis in cases with BLEE.

Methods:

Our retrospective study included 74 female patients who underwent lymphoscintigraphy for bilateral lower extremity edema. Technetium 99m
(Tc-99m) albumin colloid (nanocolloid), a marked colloidal suspension, was applied subcutaneously to two different areas on the dorsum of both
feet with a 26 gauge needle The dose volume administered intradermally is approximately 0.2-0.3 ml, and each injector has 22-25MBq of activity.
Siemens E-Cam dual-headed SPECT gamma camera was used for imaging. Dynamic and scanning images were taken with a high-resolution
parallel hole collimator. Ankle images were re-evaluated by two nuclear medicine specialists, independent of physical examination and
scintigraphy findings.

Results:

74 female patients with bilateral lower extremity edema were divided into two groups based on physical examination and lymphoscintigraphy
findings. There were 40 and 34 patients in Groups I and II, respectively. In the physical examination, patients in Group I were evaluated as
lymphedema, and patients in Group II were evaluated as lipedema. The main lymphatic channel (MLC) was not observed in any of the patients in
Group I in the early images, and the MLC was observed at a low level in the late imaging in 12 patients. The sensitivity of the presence of distal
collateral flows (DCF) in the presence of significant MLC in early imaging in demonstrating increased fluid in the interstitial space (FIIS) was
calculated as 80%, specificity as 80%, PPV 80%, and NPV 84%.

Conclusion:

While MLC is present in early images, concomitant DCF occurs in cases of lipoedema. The transport of increased lymph fluid production in this
group of patients can be covered by the existing MLC. Although MLC is evident, the presence of significant DCF supports the presence of
lipedema. It can be used as an important parameter in the diagnosis in early cases where physical examination findings are not evident.
Green Tea Catechins as Potential Drug Scaffolding Molecules in
Structural Studies with Diverse Protein Targets
Authors: Leal Hortensia Gomes , Ge Jinbo , Yoo Dongjun , Arya Michelle , Taft Carlton Anthony , Topaz Gemma Rose , Stieglitz Kimberly
Published: April 2023

Previous studies provide substantial evidence that catechins, polyphenol bioactive
compounds, exhibit medicinal benefits. These polyphenols are found in abundance in
green teas, including a combination of the four major types of catechins: (-)-Epicatechin
(EC), (-)-Epicatechin-3-gallate (ECG), (-)- Epigallocatechin (EGC), and (-)-
Epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG). Although all four exhibit medicinal benefits, the catechin
cited in the literature the most is EGCG, so derivatives of this catechin were selected
for these studies. Literature searches identified catechins as biologically active compounds
for a diverse set of diseases ranging from cancer, metabolism, neurological, and neuromuscular
ailments. A diverse set of potential protein targets for docking with catechin derivatives
was first identified as a list (n = 48). The targets were then selected based on the presence
of 3D protein coordinates for these targets provided by the Rutgers Consortium for
Structural Biology (RCSB) Protein Data Bank (PDB) (n = 10). The surfaces of the 3D protein
targets were evaluated with computational methods to identify potential binding sites
for the EGCG catechin derivatives. Static and flexible docking was done using target protein
binding sites performed with the catechin derivatives followed by molecular dynamics
(MD). MD protocols were run to confirm binding in the physiological range and environment.
In summary, the results of computational protocols confirmed predicted binding by
docking with MD of several catechin derivatives to be used as scaffolds once validated in
lab-based assays. Possible changes to these scaffolding molecules that could result in tighter,
more specific binding is discussed.

Authors: Appasaheb Borgalli Rohan , Surve Sunil
Published: April 2023

Background:

Facial emotion recognition (FER) is a vital research area in machine vision and artificial intelligence due to its application in academics and industry. Although FER can primarily be conducted using multiple sensors, research shows that using facial images/videos to recognize facial expressions is a better way to convey emotions because visual expressions carry essential information.

Objective:

This paper focuses on implementing learning frameworks that combine machine learning and deep learning for detecting 50 classes of compound emotions using the iCV Multi- Emotion Facial Expression Dataset (iCV-MEFED).

Methods:

In the proposed methodology, we used a deep learning Inception v3 CNN-based model to extract features for each image, and a Multi-Class Support Vector Machine (mSVM) classifier was used to detect the corresponding 50 classes of basic and compound emotions.

Results:

The proposed learning framework for the iCV-MEFED dataset has an accuracy of 26%, outperforming the state-of-the-art results.

Conclusion:

Moreover, the results got are compared with competition results in terms of misclassification results, which shows our methodology gives the best result of 74.00%.

Published: April 2023

Aim. To analyze the eryptosis degree, the state of cell membranes and redox status of circulating red blood cells and leukocytes in patients with abnormal uterine bleeding and its combination with hypothyroidism.
Materials and methods. Patients, 74 women aged 18 to 49 years, were examined, which were divided into 3 groups: group I - women with abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) (24 patients); group II - with AUB and thyroid pathology (30 patients, of whom 18 women had primary hypothyroidism and 2 - secondary hypothyroidism); group III - control group (20 healthy women, who had never had menstrual irregularities).
Eryptosis of circulating erythrocytes was assessed by flow cytometry using annexin V staining and 2′,7′-dichlorodihydrofluorescein diacetate (H2DCFDA) staining. Fluorescent probes O1O (2-(2¢-hydroxy-phenyl)-5-phenyl-1,3-oxazole) and PH7 (2-(2¢-hydroxy-phenyl)-phenanthro[9,10-d]-1,3-oxazole) were used to characterize changes in phospholipid bilayers of circulating erythrocytes and leukocytes. Lysed blood samples were stained with antibodies to CD45, 7-aminoactinomycin D and H2DCFDA to analyze the redox status of circulating viable leukocytes.
Results. Annexin V staining revealed eryptosis activation in females with abnormal uterine bleeding combined with hypothyroidism. In addition, in these patients, oxidative stress developed in red blood cells, evidenced by an increase in intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels. Oxidative stress was accompanied by changes in the physico-chemical properties of erythrocyte membranes, namely a decrease in membrane hydration and an increase in lipid order, which can indicate enhanced lipid peroxidation. These changes were observed in women with abnormal uterine bleeding alone, however, to a lesser extent. In this study, the redox state of leukocytes and phospholipid bilayers of their cell membranes were not affected in the patients from both groups.
Conclusions. Abnormal uterine bleeding combined with hypothyroidism is associated with eryptosis activation, oxidative stress development in erythrocytes and changes in the physico-chemical properties of phospholipid bilayer of cell membranes in red blood cells.

Published: April 2023

Drying and pickling are the most ancient and effective methods to preserve food which are used so far. In particular, drying cucumber slices using a dehydrator has been shown to significantly reduce their moisture content from 89% w.b. to 4.5% w.b. and lower their water activity from 0.98 to 0.17, making them safe from microbial activity. Moreover, storing these dried cucumber slices for up to 9 days did not result in any significant increase in water activity. The cucumber slices also pickled using different vinegar solutions. It has been observed that with increase in storage period pH of the solution as well as pickles decreases. Vinegar concentration of 480 and 600 ml have shown similar trend. This study showed that drying and pickling can be used to preserve cucumber slices for longer period

Exploring the Behavior of Users With Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder on Twitter: Comparative Analysis of Tweet Content and User Interactions
Authors: Chen Liuliu , Jeong Jiwon , Simpkins Bridgette , Ferrara Emilio
Published: April 2023

Background

With the widespread use of social media, people share their real-time thoughts and feelings via interactions on these platforms, including those revolving around mental health problems. This can provide a new opportunity for researchers to collect health-related data to study and analyze mental disorders. However, as one of the most common mental disorders, there are few studies regarding the manifestations of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) on social media.

Objective

This study aims to examine and identify the different behavioral patterns and interactions of users with ADHD on Twitter through the text content and metadata of their posted tweets.

Methods

First, we built 2 data sets: an ADHD user data set containing 3135 users who explicitly reported having ADHD on Twitter and a control data set made up of 3223 randomly selected Twitter users without ADHD. All historical tweets of users in both data sets were collected. We applied mixed methods in this study. We performed Top2Vec topic modeling to extract topics frequently mentioned by users with ADHD and those without ADHD and used thematic analysis to further compare the differences in contents that were discussed by the 2 groups under these topics. We used a distillBERT sentiment analysis model to calculate the sentiment scores for the emotion categories and compared the sentiment intensity and frequency. Finally, we extracted users’ posting time, tweet categories, and the number of followers and followings from the metadata of tweets and compared the statistical distribution of these features between ADHD and non-ADHD groups.

Results

In contrast to the control group of the non-ADHD data set, users with ADHD tweeted about the inability to concentrate and manage time, sleep disturbance, and drug abuse. Users with ADHD felt confusion and annoyance more frequently, while they felt less excitement, caring, and curiosity (all P<.001). Users with ADHD were more sensitive to emotions and felt more intense feelings of nervousness, sadness, confusion, anger, and amusement (all P<.001). As for the posting characteristics, compared with controls, users with ADHD were more active in posting tweets (P=.04), especially at night between midnight and 6 AM (P<.001); posting more tweets with original content (P<.001); and following fewer people on Twitter (P<.001).

Conclusions

This study revealed how users with ADHD behave and interact differently on Twitter compared with those without ADHD. On the basis of these differences, researchers, psychiatrists, and clinicians can use Twitter as a potentially powerful platform to monitor and study people with ADHD, provide additional health care support to them, improve the diagnostic criteria of ADHD, and design complementary tools for automatic ADHD detection.

Published: April 2023

UNSTRUCTURED

Currently, technological tools allow for the reproduction and control of peculiar stimuli, such as the possibility of producing audio clips with the voices of deceased people. Indeed, available artificial intelligence technologies give the possibility of creating at-home vocal messages starting from a sample of an audio clip with a voice, even the one of a dead person. Recently, some videos and documentaries depicting people interacting with artificial intelligence content related to the deceased have been released to the general public.
However, the possibility of interacting with realistic stimuli related to deceased loved ones can create peculiar and delicate experiences and should gain the attention of the scientific community and mental health professionals.
The present work first gives an overview of the actual possibilities of recreating and being exposed to such experiences, then psychological impacts and possible interactions with digital contents related to grief are discussed. Lastly, the authors suggest future directions and point to be addressed by the scientific community for the management of the risks related to these stimuli.

Published: April 2023

Litopenaeus vannamei is one of the largest commodities having a major impact on the global economy. Shrimp larvae have drastic changes in morphology and physiology which require extra maintenance. Feed management in early rearing using a blind feeding system which plankton as the main food. The relation between plankton and C/N needs to be investigated to optimize the growth of natural feed. The aims of the study were to analyze plankton community structure; the relationship between plankton to C/N and the environmental parameters; and determine the shrimp preferences of plankton. Data were collected at 3 points in 3 different ponds (PA, PB, PC) on day 8 and day 15 using a stratified sampling method with criteria (intensive system and blind feeding phase). Plankton density and C/N relationship were analyzed using Linear Regression, plankton and environmental parameters using Canonical Correspondence Analysis (CCA). Shrimp food preferences were analyzed descriptively in percentage. The results showed that diatoms and dinoflagellates dominated phytoplankton, and rotifers dominate zooplankton. C/N showed a positive correlation to protozoa, but a negative correlation to pennate diatoms and copepods. The most influential environmental factors for both phytoplankton and zooplankton density were temperature, C-organic, salinity, pH, alkalinity, and dissolved oxygen.

Published: April 2023

Abstract: Now a days the home environment is introduced with a network enabled digital technology. This type of home automation increases the connectivity of smart equipment within the room. With the continuity of home automation, we have designed a circuit which will track the person in the living room by using image processing. Previous research of human tracking was done depending on IR and PIR sensors. IR sensor has a dead zone between 0 - 4 CM that means no object detection closer than 4 CM.PIR sensors are insensitive to slow motion or the body in standing mode. But image processing doesn’t have distance criteria based on the camera we use to cover wider range instead of zone like a PIR sensor and overall detection range is comparable to that of a PIR sensor. So in this research we have used image processing for easy exact human position tracking that rotates a fan independently to direct air flow to whatever position a person moves to in the room and working of light. In addition the fan can be turned ON or OFF based on human tracking to save electricity towards smart home user experience.
Design and Analysis of Four Wheel Drive Electric Vehicle
Authors: T Sathees
Published: April 2023

Abstract: Due to the increase in the cost of fuels and pollution, alternative to conventional internal combustion engine powered vehicles is needed. As electric vehicles are environment friendly, they are considered green transportation. In an electric vehicle various components like motor, battery, controllers are used. While designing an electric vehicle, the first and foremost component to be selected is an electric motor which replaces the Internal Combustion engines of conventional vehicles. Therefore, electric motor used in an electric vehicle must produce appropriate power and other characteristics that are required for traction purpose. The important task is to select an appropriate rating of motor based on the load to be carried. This paper describes the procedure for proper selection of rating of electric motor with an example of DC motor for an electric car. Vehicle dynamics is considered for selecting the proper electric motor that would provide required power and torque for traction. To achieve all traction characteristics in compact size, a proper selection of motor rating should be done based on the load.

One of the features of the modern model of interaction between legal systems is the competition between national jurisdictions. The states use different methods to improve the efficiency of their courts in order to make their jurisdictions more attractive. The competition between jurisdictions is actively influenced by political processes. A striking example of the impact of politics on jurisdictional issues is Brexit. This article aims to consider the topical issues caused by the UK's exit from the single legal space of the EU in terms of the functioning of the civil justice system, the consequences of these processes for the mechanisms of choice of jurisdiction. Using the comparative legal method, this article explores the consequences of Brexit for Russian companies and Russia’s jurisdiction, including in connection with: a) the continuing practice of dispute resolution between Russian companies or Russian businessmen in London; b) the new conditions of competition between British and European, especially French, courts for attraction to their jurisdictions; c) the need for dispute resolution on a number of pressing issues, including those caused by the complicated geopolitical situation. The materials used include UK and European legal literature, the reports of the Council of the European Commission for the Efficiency of Justice and expert opinions of Russian and European lawyers. The conclusions include practical recommendations on how to improve the competitiveness of Russia’s jurisdiction and protect Russia's interests in the legal sphere. This article highlights the need to develop cooperation between the Russian court system and courts of the EAEU and EAEU countries, to create a system of economic dispute resolution courts, which would foster the transfer of important civil cases to the Russian jurisdiction or the jurisdiction of the EAEU.

The article examines the criminal law issues of protecting human life and health as an integral part of the history of criminal law, coupled with theoretical and historical legal sciences. The authors consider the types and content of illegal acts, expressed in causing harm to human life and health, criminalized in the customary law of the Don Cossacks. The use of customs to regulate criminal law relations is a universal practice for early feudal states, such as Ancient Russia, as well as regional - for the Russian Empire. As a result, the authors conclude that historical and legal methodology is widely used in the formation of modern criminal law and that legal reception from foreign legislation is of secondary importance. At the same time, attention is drawn to the fact that the history of criminal law is currently considered an integral part of the criminal law sciences.

Background and Purpose Development of core concepts in
disciplines such as biochemistry, microbiology, and physiology
transformed teaching. They provided the foundation for the development
of teaching resources for global educators, as well as valid and
reliable approaches to assessment. An international research consensus
recently identified 25 core concepts of pharmacology. The current study
aimed to define and unpack these concepts. Experimental
approach A two-phase, iterative approach, involving 60 international
pharmacology education experts was used. The first phase involved
drafting definitions for the core concepts and identifying key
sub-concepts via a series of online meetings and asynchronous work.
These were refined in the second phase, through a two-day hybrid
workshop followed by a further series of online meetings and
asynchronous work. Key Results The project produced consensus
definitions for a final list of 24 core concepts and 103 sub-concepts of
pharmacology. The iterative, discursive methodology resulted in the
modification concepts from the original study, including the change of
‘drug-receptor interaction’ to ‘drug-target interaction’ and the change
of the core concept ‘agonists and antagonists’ to sub-concepts of
drug-target interaction. Conclusion and Implications The
definitions and sub-concepts of the 24 core concepts provide an
evidence-based foundation for pharmacology curricula development and
evaluation. The next steps for this project include the development of a
concept inventory to assess acquisition of the concepts, as well as the
development of cases studies and educational resources to support
teaching by the global pharmacology community, and student learning of
the most critical and fundamental concepts of the discipline.
Prevalence of Atopic Dermatitis in the adolescent population of Catalonia (Spain).
Authors: Mora Toni , Sánchez-Collado Irene , Mullol Joaquim , Muñoz-Cano Rosa , Ribó Paula , Valero Antonio
Published: April 2023

Background: Studies on the prevalence of Atopic Dermatitis (AD)
for the adolescent cohort in general-based large populations are scarce
worldwide. We performed a retrospective population-based observational
cohort study of 76,665 adolescent patients diagnosed with AD in
Catalonia (Spain). We study the prevalence of AD by age, gender, disease
severity, comorbidities, and serum total Immunoglobin E (tIgE) and
appropriate medical treatment (AMT) for the Catalan population.
Methods: Adolescent individuals (12-17y) diagnosed with AD by
medical records at different health care levels (primary, hospital,
emergency) from the Catalan Health System (CHS) were included.
Statistical analyses evaluated sociodemographic characteristics,
prevalence, comorbidities, serum tIgE and AMT. Results: The
overall diagnosed AD prevalence in the adolescent Catalan population
(76,665) was 16.9%, being higher for the non-severe (16.7%) than for
the severe (0.2%) populations. Topical corticosteroids were the most
prescribed drug (49.5%), and the use of all prescribed treatments was
higher in severe AD patients, especially systemic corticosteroids
(49.7%) and immunosuppressants (45.4%). AD patients had, on average, a
serum tIgE of 163.6 KU/L, which was higher for the severe than the
non-severe disease (155.5 KU/L vs 101.9 KU/L, respectively). Allergic
rhinitis (15.0%) and asthma (13.5%) were among the most frequent
comorbid respiratory and allergy diseases. Conclusions: This is
the first Spanish study reporting the overall diagnosed prevalence for a
large-scale adolescent (12 to 17 years old) cohort from Catalonia. It
provides new and robust evidence of AD’s prevalence and related
characteristics in this region.
The early determinants of career choices for medical students following an obstetrics and gynaecology placement: mixed methods study
Authors: Sein Eleanor , Belsi Athina , Terzidou Vasso , R Roshni Patel
Published: April 2023

Objective: to explore the impact of attending a clinical placement on
selecting a career in obstetrics and gynaecology Design: Mixed methods
study Setting: Imperial College London Population: Fifth year medical
students attending a clinical placement in obstetrics and gynaecology
Methods: Between January 2021- January 2022, questionnaires were used
and semi-structured focus groups conducted, which were audio recorded.
Descriptive statistics were conducted and a framework analysis on
transcribed focus groups. Main outcome measure: the impact of the
clinical placement on career choices Results: Six main themes were
identified from the analysis; three contributing to considering a career
in obstetrics and gynaecology; pregnancy is not an illness,
extraordinary experience of observing childbirth and
variable specialty and three themes emerged contributing to not
considering a career; lack of work-life balance, high stakes
specialty and the emotional toll. Even at an undergraduate
level, medical students exhibited concerns about the long term
feasibility of achieving work life balance and avoiding professional
burnout, which was partly attributed to the responsibility of looking
after both the woman and baby. Conclusions: Obstetrics and gynaecology
is a challenging high stakes specialty but is also highly rewarding.
Students experiences of childbirth during a clinical placement appear to
contribute to the consideration of a career in obstetrics and
gynaecology. It is crucial to provide a supported and realistic
introduction to the specialty, to recruit enthusiastic junior doctors
who will be resilient to the pressures of obstetrics.
