Published: June 2023

Background: Psoriasis is recognized as a chronic immune system disease with unknown etiology that affects the skin. It might lead to psychological issues and pose considerable distress. The purpose of this study was to investigate the rate of social acceptance in psoriasis patients.
Methods: This was a cross-sectional study which was carried out on all the patients (n=100) referred to specialized skin diseases clinic in Yazd, Iran. 100 psoriasis patients and 100 healthy people as a control group were enlisted. The patients were eliminated from the research in case they had other chronic medical conditions since it could affect social acceptance. The patients completed a social acceptability questionnaire (Marlowe–Crowne Social Desirability Scale) and demographic information was also collected. Data were analyzed by ANOVA and chi square test in the form of descriptive and inferential statistics using SPSS-24 software.
Results: The mean of patients’ age was 36.97±13.94 years old and 66% of the patients were female. Mean score of social acceptance was 18.04±4.4. The mean score of social acceptance in psoriasis patients’ group (>40 years old) was estimated higher than in other groups (p>0.05). The results revealed that only the job variable affected the Mean±SD of social acceptance in these patients. The rate of social acceptance in psoriasis patients was higher in those with governmental jobs in comparison to those with self-employment jobs. Overall, the level of social acceptance in people with psoriasis was lower than in the control group.
Conclusion: This study showed that psoriasis patients who had governmental jobs received a great deal of acceptance via the people around them and they generally had a better quality of life.

Authors: Gaplaev M. Sh. , Guceriev I. A.
Published: June 2023

Relevance. One of the most important tasks of agricultural production is to provide the population of the regions with vegetables at the expense of local production. Despite the social significance of the vegetable growing industry, its development in the Central Ciscaucasia at the present stage allows only half to meet the demand of the population. For the Chechen Republic, where the area of arable land is limited, the daikon (Raphanus sativus L. subsp. acanthiformis (Blanch.) Stankev.) Has a certain perspective, especially for cultivation in the summer-autumn period, after early harvesting of vegetables and field crops.

Results. Under the conditions of the Chechen Republic, the maximum yield of root crops (29.0 t/ha) and marketability of 65% of the early maturing variety Sasha was obtained with a sowing time of 31.07 and a scheme of 35x10 cm. The highest yield of root crops of varieties Dubinushka, Dragon, Favorit was formed at a sowing time of 17.07 (58.1, 62.3 and 57.3 t/ha, respectively), and variety Moskovsky Bogatyr – at a sowing time of 3.07 (72.3 t/ha) at sowing scheme 70x10 cm.

Authors: Soji-Mbongo Z. , Hugo A. , Mpendulo T.C.
Published: June 2023

Background: The onset of an industrial shift from grass to grain-supplemented feed has resulted in a rapid change in human diets, specifically in the ratio of n-6 to n-3 fatty acids; where saturated fats and n-6 fatty acid consumption increased at the expense of n-3 fatty acids. Although recent reports on global nutrition put emphasis on health-related fatty acids, the profiling of fat and fatty acids from different breeds reared by different farmers within the same feeding regime is not efficient. Methods: Fat colour-related proximate fractions (total extractable intramuscular fat, Fat-Free Dry matter and Moisture content) and fatty acid profiles of Bonsmara, Beefmaster, Brangus, Hereford and Simbra A2 steers from different feedlot systems were evaluated. Result: Breed affected pentadecyclic, total saturated fatty acids (SFA) and docosahexanoic. Hereford had high pentadecyclic and SFA content while Simbra had high docosahexanoic content. Differences in SFA, monounsaturated fatty acids, polyunsaturated fatty acids, n-6, n-3, fatty acid ratios and desaturase index were observed between the white, creamy-white and creamy carcass fat colours. This study has shown that breed synthetic pathways and different feed ingredients which cause differences in the fatty acid composition of beef animals from feedlot-based production systems can be reflected through fat colour.

Authors: Gabra Abanoub
Published: June 2023

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a primary tumor of the liver that develops in the setting of chronic liver disease. HCC is difficult to diagnosis due to it requiring the use of multiple imaging modalities with the goal to detect tumors when they are less than or equal to 2 cm in size to allow all possible treatment options to be used. Herein, we discuss a 69-year-old male with stage IV liver cancer residing in hospice presenting with left middle finger osteomyelitis and extreme pain. Radiology revealed a destructive lesion, but pathology provided the diagnosis of metastatic hepatocellular carcinoma in his finger. Even though HCC can be diagnosed on imaging alone, this case highlights the need for biopsy to provide an accurate diagnosis

Published: June 2023

Mutual fund is one of the investment instruments widely used as an investment option. There are two essential things to be considered by the Investment Manager as a mutual fund manager: the stock selection and the market timing ability. The Covid-19 pandemic has caused many investors to experience potential investment losses. Understanding stock selection and market timing will be needed for determining which Investment Managers perform well in managing equity mutual fund, especially while dealing with the Covid-19 pandemic. The objective of this study is to analyze the ability of Investment Managers to perform stock selection and market timing, the performance of equity mutual fund, and the effect of stock selection and market timing ability on the performance of equity mutual fund in Indonesia. This study applies the Fama net selectivity methods to assess stock selection ability and Treynor-Mazuy and Henriksson-Merton models to analyze market timing ability. Sharpe, Treynor, and Jensen's alpha methods are also used for measuring mutual fund performance. The data is processed per mutual fund to recognize each mutual fund's stock selection and market timing ability. Furthermore, the research spans two time periods: before and following the Covid-19 pandemic. A dataset of 104 equity mutual funds from 2016-2021 has been analyzed. The findings show that only 9 and 12 Investment Managers have stock selection ability prior to and following the Covid-19 pandemic, respectively. According to Treynor Mazuy model, there are only two Investment Managers with market timing ability prior to the Covid-19 pandemic, and only twelve Investment Managers have market timing ability during the Covid-19 pandemic, according to the Henriksson-Merton model. Every mutual fund with stock selection ability outperformed the benchmark. However, not all equity mutual fund with market timing ability outperformed the benchmark.

Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) have drawn attention as potential catalysts owing to their unique tunable surface chemistry and accessibility. However, their application in thermal catalysis has been limited because of their instability under harsh temperatures and pressures, such as the hydrogenation of CO2 to methanol. Herein, we synthesized Cu nanoparticles encapsulated in a zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) using a controlled two-step method to obtain a Cu nanoparticle-containing Zn-based MOF catalyst that is highly active, selective, and remarkably stable for the CO2 hydrogenation to methanol reaction. Two different catalysts based on the Cu on ZIF-8 MOF were synthesized, thoroughly characterized experimentally, and studied theoretically. The catalyst prepared with the optimized pathway is active (2.2 gmethanol gmetal−1 h−1) and selective (>90%), and stable (for >200 h) at 523 K and 50 bar, displaying superior methanol space–time yields than the benchmark Cu–Zn–Al industrial catalyst for CO2 hydrogenation. Density functional theory-assisted calculations reveal that Cu–O–Zn sites were active for CO2 adsorption with an adsorption energy of −2.82 eV. The developed catalyst is an inexpensive, robust, and easy-to-synthesize on-scale active catalyst for selectively hydrogenating CO2 to methanol.

Published: June 2023

There is no known cause of interstitial cystitis (IC), a condition characterized by chronic pelvic floor pain and lower urinary tract symptoms. It is difficult to diagnose IC; diagnosis can only be made by conducting multiple tests and ruling out other similar conditions. In this study, we aimed to build a model for IC diagnosis and provide a new method for IC identification. Gene expression was analyzed in IC and normal bladder tissues to understand the immune infiltration characteristics of IC. Subsequently, 106 differentially expressed immune-related genes (DEIRGs) were identified. We build a protein-protein interaction network and performed enrichment analyses to unveil the functional associations of the identified DEIRGs. Using machine learning, we screened key disease characteristic genes (S100A8, S100A12, FABP5) and constructed an effective random forest model to identify IC patients. Immunohistochemical analysis and validation in the extra test cohort are used to prove the effectiveness of the model. Compared with normal tissues, IC shows increased infiltration of immune cells, suggesting that IC is characterized by a high level of immune activation. The strong correlation between S100A8 and S100A12 and neutrophils reiterated the importance of neutrophils in IC. The constructed random forest model based on the identified three characteristic genes S100A8, S100A12, and FABP5 is effective in identifying IC (AUC = 1). As expected, in bladder tissue, the levels of S100A8 and S100A12 were significantly increase, while that of FABP5 was significantly decreased in the IC. The extra test cohort also proved the effectiveness of the constructed model (AUC = 0.725).

Published: June 2023

The aggregation of fungal cells embedded in a matrix of extracellular matrix (ECM) results in a biofilm— a microbial community of sessile cells attached to biotic and/or abiotic surfaces. In this study, we demonstrate for the first time that the fatal pine pitch canker agent, Fusarium circinatum, can lead a biofilm-like lifestyle with aggregated hyphal bundles wrapped in ECM. We measured the biofilm ECM of F. circinatum in response to some key environmental factors. Our study suggests that F. circinatum biofilms respond to a changing environment, demonstrated by poor and optimal biofilm development under particular abiotic conditions, including temperature and pH. Further analysis revealed that while planktonic cells produced small amounts of ECM per unit of the biomass, azole-exposed biofilms produced significantly more ECM than non-exposed biofilms. The increased synthesis of ECM in biofilms due to azole exposure explains why F. circinatum biofilms required greater drug dosages (Imazalil: 0.74 mg/L; Tebuconazole: 0.46 mg/L) to kill 50% of biofilm-derived cells than planktonic cells (Imazalil: 0.26 mg/L; Tebuconazole: 0.04 mg/L). Interestingly, azole exposure based on these dosages also led to biofilms that were resistant to DNase, which typically uncouples biofilms by penetrating and degrading biofilm extracellular DNA; we propose that DNases were likely hindered from reaching target cells by the ECM barricade, a phenomenon prevalent in most biofilm-forming pathogens of humans. Therefore, our results show how an important fungal phytopathogen’s sessile (biofilm) lifestyle could form a physical barrier against the surrounding environment.

Authors: Rodionova I. A.
Published: June 2023

This article analyzes the main parameters of world trade in goods and services by aggregated export and import items, by regions of the world and leading countries. As a result of the changing geopolitical situation in the world, when developing countries are trying to change the old world order (with the hegemony of Western countries over the United States), the conditions of world trade and the share of certain countries in global export and import indicators are changing. The analysis of world trade is based on statistical data from the UN, WTO and other international organizations. The change of world trade leaders at the regional level has been revealed. Thus, Asia's leadership is fixed in commodity exports and imports, but the developed countries of the West lead in the export of commercial services. The leader of world trade is currently China, ahead of both the United States and Germany.

Authors: Zhang Haitao
Published: June 2023

China urgently needs to grow the senior care business and raise the standard of elderly care services in response to the major problem of population aging. Currently, the government provides universal old services and depends on financial support. However, with government revenue continuing to decline, it is not possible for the government to provide elderly care services on its own. The cutting-edge model of government-social capital cooperation (Public-Private Partnership (PPP) for short) was applied. The government started actively guiding social capital into the field of elderly care services in order to optimize the social financing mechanism and relieve the pressure on the government, and the cutting-edge model of government-social capital cooperation was applied.

This research aims to strengthen the resilience of populations living along the Agoua and Toui-Kilibo protected forests. Its main aim is to analyze the adaptation measures used by the riparian populations and propose actions to strengthen their resilience. Data were collected from semi-structured individual interviews with each head of household or his/her sponsor in his/her household or field or plantation within and/or around the CF. Focus group interviews with key informants (between 05 and 13 participants representing the diversity of socio-professional or socio-cultural groups and gender-sensitive) were also conducted in riparian communities and within the CF. This data was collected through the QField application. The resulting database was transferred to the Excel spreadsheet for clearing and processing. For the processing of these data several parameters were calculated, in particular the importance value (IV), the response rate at the level of each respondent. In addition, the resilience of populations was assessed. To this end, the proposal for options to improve the resilience of communities bordering the Agoua and TK forests is based on the Multidimensional Resilience Index (MRI). For the calculation of resilience the basic variables are grouped into a set of actions which are themselves grouped into a set of seven (7) options. The various shares have been converted into indices called “core indices” and are calculated and obtained at the level of each option. Option-level indices are also calculated taking into account the indices previously calculated at the equity level. Finally, the Multidimensional Resilience Index is obtained by calculating the weighted arithmetic average of the indices calculated at the option level. The options that have attracted community attention are sustainable land management (4.1), and capacity building (3.89). These two options scored substantially 4, which shows that the communities are resilient. Improved social and cultural living conditions (3.33) can also strengthen the resilience of communities. Environmental protection, organizational level, institutional support and the creation of economic activities have a score ranging from 2 to 2.83. Actions to implement the priority options for adaptation to the adverse effects of climate change will reduce the vulnerability of the populations living near Agoua and Toui-Kilibo protected forests.

Predictive Maintenance of Aircraft Components Based on Sensor Data-Driven Approach: A Review
Authors: M Monisha
Published: June 2023

Abstract: Predictive maintenance has gained significant attention in the aviation industry as a proactive strategy for enhancing aircraft safety, reducing downtime, and optimizing maintenance costs. Ensuring the reliability and efficiency of aircraft components has consistently been a significant focus in the aviation industry. Accurately anticipating possible malfunctions can significantly improve the dependability of these components and system fault detection and prediction in the aircraft industry play a critical role in preventing failures, minimizing maintenance expenses, and maximizing fleet availability. Unforeseen aircraft maintenance can cause flight cancellations or delays when spare parts are not readily available at the location of the failure. This leads to undesired downtime, thereby increasing operational costs for airlines. By employing predictive modelling, airlines can reduce unscheduled maintenance activities, resulting in cost savings and improved fleet availability. Implementing health monitoring and predictive maintenance practices for aircraft can also minimize unplanned groundings by implementing more systematic maintenance intervals, thereby avoiding situations where an aircraft is grounded (known as "aircraft on ground" or AOG) and the subsequent operational disruptions. This survey paper provides a comprehensive review of the state – of – the – art deep learning techniques employed in the field of predictive maintenance for aircraft components

In the classical sea landing methods of ships, aquaplaning and slipway support systems are used. In Norwegian Type Trawler Fishing vessels, the outer shell surface geometry is very delicate. Therefore; the incoming forces are extreme and the use of wooden poppets by these forces in normal sea landings is insufficient.
This work; It includes two different steel fore poppet designs and analyzes for the Norwegian type trawler fishing vessel, which cannot be launched with conventional slipway support systems after landing calculations. Within the scope of this study, two different steel fore poppets were designed. After the analyzes and examinations, it was decided that the Norwegian type trawler fishing vessel, which is the subject of the article, with which steel fore poppet design will be launched without any problems. Studies carried out in this context; Two different steel fore poppet designs were made using the Rhinoceros analysis program, which is a 3D design program.Rhinoceros Scan & Solve analysis was performed and simulation was run by applying forces to the designed steel fore poppets. A force of 3e+06N, including gravity, was applied to both designed structures. As a result of this; In the first steel fore poppet structure, a maximum displacement of 1.18611mm occurred. In structures designed under a force of 3e+06N; In the first structure, the maximum Von Mises Stress value was found to be 505.761MPa. In the second structure, the maximum Von Mises Stress value was found to be 163.142MPa.

Time is the most precious resource for any business simply because no one can bring time back. Therefore, there is a huge need to be able to control time accurately. Also, the competitiveness between companies increased the value of time. Many investments were allocated to build methodologies that help to use time effectively. Because it became a fact that the speed of work accomplishment is the main factor for being a considerable competitor. Planning for future projects usually relays on non-fixed but mostly expected data. It is more reliable to use fuzzy methods for this situation. In this study, Fuzzy PERT (FPERT) was used as a project management technique to plan the construction of a marble factory from the establishment phase to the plan of the machines that will be used later on. FPERT showed more realistic results than any classical method would. Out of 16 routes, the final result of the completion time was (90.9,122.1,151.9) days which was determined after triangular fuzzy numbers for the activity times in the entire project. This article aims to prove the efficiency of fuzzy methodologies especially FPERT to be conducted in future planned projects through this real-life case study.
On the electron impact cross-section maxima for dissociative and non-dissociative single ionization of molecules
Authors: Santos Antônio
Published: June 2023

Determining absolute electron impact ionization cross-sections for atoms
and molecules, whether through experimental or theoretical means, poses
a formidable challenge and is typically limited to a narrow selection of
species. In this paper, by using measured cross-sections and
polarizability data, it was obtained empirical scaling laws for
dissociative and non-dissociative single ionization cross-section
maximum of neutral molecules by collisions with electrons. It is found
that the dissociative cross sections scale linearly with the target
electric static polarizability, while the non-dissociate cross sections
exhibit a saturation effect for large target polarizabilities. This
saturation effect is interpreted as the increasing role of fragmentation
with polarizability.
Indonesia Sustainability Reporting Standard: What Needs to be Improved?
Authors: Prihandono Iman , S. Yuniarti Dewi
Published: June 2023

Responsible economic growth is an integral part of the goal of sustainable development. This transition to sustainable development needs to be based on a change in the mindset of business actors that business activities will be better and more sustainable if they pay attention to social, environmental and governance aspects (ESG). Recent data shows that there is a predicted increase of ESG investment by the end of 2021 by 73%, with a global fund asset being expected to reach $18 trillion in 2021. In line with this understanding, Financial Services Authority (OJK) have previously released the Sustainable Finance Roadmap Phase I (2015 - 2019) which aims to increase the understanding and capacity of business actors to move towards a sustainable economy. One significant output of the Roadmap is the issuance of OJK Regulation No. 51/POJK.03/2017 on the Implementation of Sustainable Finance, which stipulates the obligation for Financial Service Institutions, Issuers, and Public Companies to submit sustainability report. To accelerate the transition to a sustainable economy, OJK has recently issued the Sustainable Finance Roadmap Phase II (2021-2025), which focuses on ESG-based business development. This paper seeks to examine the comparison between the sustainability reporting obligation under the OJK Roadmaps with global ESG instruments, including United Nations Principles for Responsible Investment (UNPRI), Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), and the European Union Directive on Non-Financial Reporting, and to analyse whether OJK Roadmap II has accommodated the interest of global investors in light of ESG Investment, particularly reliable ESG reporting obligation by companies listed in the Indonesia Stock Exchange. It will conclude with a comprehensive evaluation of aspects needed to be improved by the existing Roadmap II to increase ESG investment in Indonesia.
Didactic principles as formation mechanism of the legal culture in educational process
Authors: Abakumova I. V. , Matveeva O. A.
Published: June 2023

Introduction. The study deals with the application of didactic principles in the process of legal education of the younger generation. The decrease in legal awareness and civic consciousness among young people and the abundance of traditional theoretical methods that are unable to structure legal culture in the minds of students are actual problems of the legal environment. In this regard, it is necessary to re-evaluate the content of legal education in the educational process and expand the basic didactic principles, taking into account modern technologies and interactive techniques usage.

Purpose. Maintenance of scientific interest in the problems of legal nurturing during the educational process and identification of the main didactic principles structuring legal culture in the minds of students in the most flexible and modernized form.

Materials and Methods. The study used a review analysis based on the systematic structuring of scientific and theoretical concepts, and also synthesis and organization methods (to create a general theoretical system), observation, classification, modelling and forecasting.

Theoretical justification. Due to their cross–subject nature, didactic principles mean certain guidelines in the educational process, but in different scientific fields, they may have various types and content. In the legal system the implementation of a complex of didactic principles establishes the foundation of legal education and teaches young generation to develop their civil consciousness.

Discussion and Conclusion. The study of various didactic concepts, including elements of interactivity, modern technologies, game methods and innovative principles, confirms the problem of pedagogical fragmentation. The use of such didactic principles complex in the process of legal culture formation implies significant renewal of educational activities through the integration of the educational, methodological and research system with practical innovative methods. In turn, the improvement and deepening of pedagogical activity determine the development of the level of legal awareness, an increase in the dissemination of legal and civic values, and also socio-political ideals and norms.
