Authors: Švamberk Šauerová Markéta
Published: May 2024

The text presents a case study. The case study is used from the author's practice. The social interaction assessment was conducted as part of a project working with a particular classroom where there is an extremely high number of children with behavioural difficulties.
There is a lot of noise, pupils find it difficult to follow school and class rules and most teachers do not like to teach there. As part of a comprehensive programme of work with this class, aimed at building a safe school environment, an evaluation of the teachers from the pupils' perspective was carried out. On the basis of the evaluation, a follow-up analysis of the typical manifestations of a "favourite teacher" and an "unpopular teacher" (according to the pupils' subjective evaluation) was carried out. This analysis pinpointed the source of problematic behaviour of pupils and served as a basis for suggesting changes to improve the situation and build a safe classroom climate.

Evaluation of platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) in oral squamous cell carcinoma: A cross sectional, case control study
Authors: Faizal Asan , Subhas Babu , Bhat Supriya
Published: May 2024

Background: Oral cancer is a significant public health concern which is more prevalent in South Central Asia, especially in developing countries such as India. Recent studies have presented the significance of systemic inflammatory response and its influence on the outcome of various tumors. Platelet Lymphocyte ratio (PLR) is a hematological marker of inflammation found to be associated with the presence or prognosis of several types of cancer. There are only few studies evaluating the diagnostic role of PLR in Oral squamous cell Carcinoma (OSCC). Aim of the study was to evaluate the role of Platelet-to-Lymphocyte ratio in Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma. Materials and Methods: The study included 84 subjects (42 in control group and 42 in study group). Case history was recorded for all the subjects along with thorough clinical examination. Individuals in both the groups were asked to undergo a complete blood count for the estimation of platelet and lymphocyte counts using which the PLR was calculated. All individuals with OSCC were clinically staged using TNM classification. Incisional biopsies were taken from the malignant lesions and histopathological confirmation was done. Results: The mean PLR in Control Group was 126.90±47.39 and in OSCC Group was 248.09±188.15. High PLR was observed in advanced stages of OSCC (p = 0.001) and also with moderate and poor degree of differentiation (p = 0.03). Conclusion: PLR can be easily calculated from a CBC, which is a cost effective, readily available investigation modality. From our observations, we conclude that PLR ratio has the potential to be considered as a reliable diagnostic marker apart from its prognostic potential.
Contribution to infection spread prevention in dental office
Authors: Anđelković Maja , Kostić Milena
Published: May 2024

Introduction: Interventions in dental offices involve direct contact with the saliva and blood of patients, thus, dental staff is exposed to a constant risk of transmission of various infectious diseases Aim of the paper was to present the ways and means of spreading infection in dental offices, as well as measures to prevent it in order to protect the health of dental staff and patients. The risk of infection in healthcare institutions, especially in dental offices, is ever-present. Interventions in the mouth involve contact with the patient's saliva and blood, as well as with numerous pathogenic microorganisms that make up the patient's permanent or transient oral flora. The increase in the number of hepatitis B and hepatitis C patients, as well as those infected with HIV, indicates additional caution. The COVID-19 pandemic determined even more rigorous recommendations to prevent the spread of this infection. It is crucial that dental staff, bearing in mind the characteristics and ways of spreading the infection, undertake appropriate activities to prevent and control infectious diseases, thereby protecting themselves and their patients. Conclusion: Compliance with recommended infection control procedures is imperative for the entire dental staff.
The influence of pets on the moral development of students
Authors: Tomić Marija
Published: May 2024

Considering the increasing moral hypocrisy of the modern era, it was necessary to focus on the examination of various influences on moral development. Lack of empathy is a phenomenon that is often mentioned when talking about various social deviations. Lack of tolerance, peer violence, various forms of aggressive behavior are sufficient reason to examine morality even at primary school age. This was the main motive for a more detailed investigation level of moral development of elementary school students in Banja Luka. The research was conducted on a sample of 220 eighth and ninth grade students. Based on a short questionnaire and a scale of moral development, the level of development of each student was determined, as well as the gender and type of pet they owned. The final school grades was chosen based on the theoretical analyzes of various psychologists, who specify that age as the end of moral development. In the first part, the paper deals with the theoretical reflection and analysis of previous research, while in the methodological part the hypotheses and the obtained results are analyzed in detail. After the statistical processing of the data, it was determined that there is no statistically significant connection in the level of moral development depending on whether the students have a pet or not. Regardless of the fact that the connection was not statistically significant, we cannot ignore the fact that students who have a rabbit as a pet, achieve the highest results on the scale of moral development, followed by students with a dog and a parrot, while those who have a cat or no pet achieve the lowest results. It is clear that there are still certain indications that would need to be checked on a larger sample in further research.

Authors: McDevitt Rachel , McLean John , Olsen Mikaela , Souza Beth , Halpern Anna
Published: May 2024

The trend of moving oncology care to the outpatient setting is driven by clinical and patient-centered aspects, financial benefits, and the lack of inpatient bed space. At the NCCN 2024 Annual Conference, a panel of experts discussed challenges and opportunities in providing high-quality outpatient oncology care, including resource allocation, leadership recognition, and involving all stakeholders in the decision-making process. Speakers also highlighted the difficulties in providing adequate outpatient cancer care, such as limited lodging options, adapting treatment for elderly patients, and managing infection risk. Strategies for improving patient satisfaction, reducing costs, and enhancing quality of care centered on proactive risk assessment, standardization of policies and procedures, and creative solutions such as curbside clinics.
Risk Stratification and Selection of Management Strategy for Localized Prostate Cancer
Authors: Yu Alice
Published: May 2024

Localized prostate cancer presents a wide disease spectrum, ranging from indolent cases suitable for active surveillance to aggressive tumors requiring intensive multimodal treatment. Traditional risk stratification tools, such as the D’Amico risk categories and NCCN risk groups, have limitations because of their heterogeneity within each category. Incorporating novel risk stratification strategies, such as genomic classifiers and multimodal artificial intelligence assays, into clinical practice may help refine treatment decisions and optimize outcomes for patients with localized prostate cancer. However, it is important to recognize the limitations of these tools and to use them judiciously in the appropriate clinical contexts.
Cancer Risk Reduction Strategies for Transgender, Non-Binary, and Gender-Diverse People With Hereditary Cancer Syndromes
Authors: Mak Julie S. , Rodriguez Diego
Published: May 2024

Approximately 24 million people in the United States identify as transgender, non-binary, or gender-diverse, and they often face challenges in accessing health care related to education, employment, and economic circumstances. In addition, their gender identity can create other hurdles to receiving appropriate health care, as well as gender dysphoria caused by procedures and preventive cancer screening that do not align with their current gender identity. It is important to consider hereditary risk and gender identity together. Clinicians should engage patients in creating a personalized plan (focusing on genetic risk; age-specific risk; sex assigned at birth and organs present at birth; gender identity; and gender-affirming surgeries and medications) and work with colleagues across medical disciplines to meet the health care needs of this fast-growing patient population.
Updates to Treatment of Recurrent Metastatic Head and Neck Cancers
Authors: Rodriguez Cristina P.
Published: May 2024

The introduction of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs), such as pembrolizumab and nivolumab, has significantly improved overall survival in both the first- and second-line settings for patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinomas. In nasopharyngeal carcinomas, the combination of gemcitabine + cisplatin with PD-1 inhibitors has demonstrated impressive response rates and overall survival benefits. However, the unique immune-related adverse events associated with ICIs require patient counseling. Ongoing clinical trials are exploring novel combinations of ICIs with EGFR monoclonal antibodies, tyrosine kinase inhibitors, and therapeutic vaccines to further improve treatment outcomes. Biomarkers, such as circulating HPV-DNA and actionable molecular alterations (eg, HRAS mutations), may help guide treatment decisions and predict patient responses in the future.

The identification of chemical compounds in essential oils is crucial in industries such as pharmaceuticals, perfumery, and food. Kovats Retention Index (RI) values are essential for compound identification using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Traditional RI determination methods are time-consuming, labor-intensive, and susceptible to experimental variability. Recent advancements in data science suggest that artificial intelligence (AI) can enhance RI prediction accuracy and efficiency. However, the full potential of AI, particularly artificial neural networks (ANN), in predicting RI values remains underexplored. This study develops a backpropagation neural network (BPNN) model to predict the Kovats RI values of essential oil compounds using five molecular descriptors: ATSc1, VCH-7, SP-1, Kier1, and MLogP. We trained the BPNN on a dataset of 340 essential oil compounds and optimized it through hyperparameter tuning. We show that the optimized BPNN model, with an epoch count of 100, a learning rate of 0.1, a hidden layer size of 10 neurons, and the ReLU activation function, achieves an R² value of 0.934 and a Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE) of 76.98. These results indicate a high correlation between predicted and actual RI values and a low average prediction error. Our findings demonstrate that BPNNs can significantly improve the efficiency and accuracy of compound identification, reducing reliance on traditional experimental methods.

Education is important for societal advancement and individual empowerment, providing opportunities, developing essential skills, and breaking cycles of poverty. Nonetheless, the path to educational success is marred by challenges such as achieving academic excellence and preventing student dropouts. Early identification of students at risk of dropping out or those likely to excel academically can significantly enhance educational outcomes through tailored interventions. Traditional methods often fall short in precision and foresight for effective early detection. While previous studies have utilized machine learning to predict student performance, the potential for more sophisticated ensemble methods, such as stacked classifiers, remains largely untapped in educational contexts. This study develops a stacked classifier integrating the predictive strengths of LightGBM, Random Forest, and logistic regression. The model achieved an accuracy of 80.23%, with precision, recall, and F1-score of 79.09%, 80.23%, and 79.20%, respectively, surpassing the performance of the individual models tested. These results underscore the stacked classifier's enhanced predictive capability and transformative potential in educational settings. By accurately identifying students at risk and those likely to achieve academic excellence early, educational institutions can better allocate resources and design targeted interventions. This approach optimizes educational outcomes and supports informed policymaking, fostering environments conducive to student success.

Published: May 2024

The Fall Army Worm (FAW), scientifically referred to as Spodoptera frugiperda, originally emerged in the tropical and subtropical regions of the Americas. Its migration to Africa in 2016 and subsequent spread to Asia, reaching India in May 2018, raised significant concerns about the adaptable pest’s expansion. Karnataka was the first state in India to report FAW, and by 2018 and early 2019, it had spread throughout peninsular India and the North and North East regions. This highly resilient insect has the ability to infest over 100 different plant species, making it a formidable pest. FAW has two dominant strains: the corn strain ‘C,’ affecting maize, sorghum, and cotton, and the rice strain ‘R,’ affecting rice and other grasses. The damage caused by FAW varies, posing a substantial threat to agriculture. The use of Integrated Pest Management (IPM) strategies has been shown to be effective in controlling FAW. Bio-rational pesticides, including Metarrhizium rileyi and Nomuraea rileyi, along with parasitoids like Telenomus sp., Trichogramma sp., Glyptapanteles creatonoti, and Campoletis chloridae, play a crucial role in managing the pest. Semiochemicals such as (Z)-9-tetradecenyl acetate and habitat management methods like Push-Pull technology also contribute to successful control. Chemical insecticides like chlorantraniliprole, spinetoram, thiamethoxam, and lambda cyhalothrin can be utilized to combat FAW. However, it is essential to note that early larval chemical control is more effective than late-stage intervention. The goal of this report is to emphasize the prevalence of FAW and to demonstrate the effective management techniques that have been used to minimize its effects.
