Purpose of the study: To investigate demographics, prevalence, risk factors and the different clinical forms and symptoms of syphilis in men who have sex with men (MSM). Material/Methods: 50 MSM with syphilis were registered at the Clinic of Dermatology and Venereology in the city of Pleven, Bulgaria, for the period 2008-2022. The diagnosis was confirmed by serological tests. Patients were distributed by their socio-demographic status. Risk factors and sexual behavior were studied, as well as clinical symptoms and co-morbidities of syphilis. Results: Of 50 MSM patients the most affected is the age between 20-29 years (54%). 34% of them are university graduates, 88% abused alcohol, nicotine and drugs in combination, 70% had sexual contacts with a casual partner, 26% of them had HIV co-infection. Secondary and early latent syphilis are the most common clinical forms of the disease (34%). The typical symptoms of primary and secondary syphilis were clinically manifested, 34% of them are localized in the genital. There is a significant correlation of the clinical form with the localization of the skin-mucosal lesions (p < 0.001). Antibiotic therapy is effective and leads to negative serological test results by the end of the second year of treatment. Conclusions: For 15 years (2008-2022), the number of registered MSM with syphilis in the Clinic of Dermatology and Venereology in Pleven increased after 2016 especialy in the time of the COVID-19 pandemic. Our results are close to the published data on the problem in the scientific literature for the last 10 years.

Authors: Lewis Sally , McGill Thai , Lim Lisa-Angelique , Godwin Rebecca
Published: March 2024

As universities welcome students who completed their secondary education during the disruptive period of the COVID-19 pandemic, it is timely to consider if their prior learning experiences influence receptiveness to technology-mediated communication. Australian Year 12 students struggled to stay motivated and connected with their learning during the pandemic, while also experiencing an increase in screen time of more than a day each week. Studies also indicate more secondary school students felt disengaged with online learning, likely due to the pandemic forcing them to learn online. This study explored commencing university student online activity and performance in a first-year course with technology-mediated communication in 2022 (n=118) and compared results with a similar pre-pandemic course in 2019 (n=192). Learning analytics data was used to create technology-mediated feedback based on student interaction with the course content and student learning experiences were evaluated. Course engagement data and a range of metrics were examined including the frequency of access to course information and assessment related content. Course performance data including final course grades and individual assessment results was also collected and examined. While an early outcome of research on post-pandemic technology-mediated communication, our findings suggest the 2022 student cohort were less receptive to technology-mediated feedback when compared to the pre-pandemic cohort.
Factores para la ecoinnovación en comunidades rurales mexicanas. Análisis de estudios de casos
Authors: Ramírez Alcántara Hilda Teresa , Torres Sánchez Alfonso Tonatiuh
Published: March 2024

Algunas corrientes teóricas proponen el estudio de la ecoinnovación como elemento central para lograr el equilibrio ambiental, económico y social. Desde lo local, la ecoinnovación es un factor para la resolución de problemas sociales, económicos y ambientales que mejoran la calidad de vida de las comunidades rurales y propician el desarrollo local. En ese sentido, el objetivo de este trabajo es analizar cuáles son los factores que impulsan la creación de proyectos sustentables innovadores en las comunidades rurales mexicanas, con el fin de enriquecer el concepto de ecoinnovación. La metodología es cualitativa basada en la revisión documental de libros especializados y artículos científicos indexados en diversas bases de datos. En este artículo se estudian cinco casos sustentables e innovadores del sector agrícola en donde se identificaron al menos cinco factores que permiten emprender propuestas ecoinnovadoras, tales como los económicos, sociales, culturales, políticos y legales. Se concluye que los factores anteriores sí abonan al concepto de ecoinnovación, en el sentido de que amplían la concepción del término, haciendo una notable diferencia en comunidades rurales del norte del país, respecto a las del sur. Así la ecoinnovación no es un término genérico que se pueda aplicar de la misma forma a todos los casos, sino que tiene matices que diferencian al concepto de acuerdo con su contexto socioeconómico y los fines de las organizaciones o comunidades.

An Overview of the Factors that Influence Purchasing Intentions in Online Reviews
Authors: Ge Jingyi , He Haoxuan , Huang Yicheng , Wei Jiacheng
Published: March 2024

Consumer purchasing behaviour is increasingly influenced by online reviews in the current internet era. Existing models have not fully explained the correlation between online reviews and consumer purchase intention in specific contexts. This study aims to analyse their relationship and propose inspiring viewpoints. The authors summarize current academic research from three perspectives: independent variables, mediating variables and moderating variables. The findings suggest that there are already well-developed studies on the independent variables, but there is still room for further discussion on the mediating variables; for the moderating variables, aspects of service, trust, and personal characteristics are common moderating studies at present. However, there are only a few studies on business service compensation measures and response methods. In addition, most of the existing literature adopts questionnaire survey and data analysis methods, and the content mainly focuses on mediating variables, so there is still room for further development of the study among the remaining variables. Therefore, this paper constructs an intermediate regulation model and proposes one new mediating variable: perceived fit and two new moderating variables: sales volume and business service quality, to investigate how they mediate and moderate the relationship between online reviews and purchase intention. Through an extensive literature review, the authors identified the limitations and shortcomings of previous models. This paper aims to complement and improve the existing research and provides a new research model to provide a basis for further in-depth research.

Victimización e inseguridad: la perspectiva de las encuestas de victimización en España
Authors: Rubio Rodríguez Maria Ángeles , Alvira Martín Francisco Ricardo
Published: March 2024

Se usan tres recientes encuestas sobre victimización criminal en España para demostrar la relación directa entre: la cifra total de victimización y la sensación de inseguridad física; la experiencia individual de victimización y los sentimientos de inseguridad. En contraste con los países anglosajones, donde el crime se concentra en las zonas pobres, en España se encuentra una relación directa entre riqueza y tasa de victimización. Diferentes definiciones de "falta" entre las víctimas, la policía y el sistema judicial, dificultan la interpretación de los datos. Urge el desarrollo de una técnica de sondeo más refinada

Religion and equal treatment in the public sector – The judgment of the Court of Justice of the European Union in the case OP v Commune d’Ans

In OP v Commune d’Ans (C-148/22), the Court of Justice of the European Union rightly granted the municipal authority a fairly broad margin for establishing policies with respect to prohibiting the showing of signs of inter alia religious faith in the municipal workplace. In doing so, the Court seems to grant the public sector a larger degree of liberty in this respect than it did in its judgments concerning the private sector in interpreting Directive 2000/78/EC – Establishing a general framework for equal treatment in employment and occupation. Such discrepancy is questionable.

Cybersecurity of autonomous vehicles – threats and mitigation
Authors: Szymonik Artur
Published: March 2024

The aim of this article is to draw attention to the growing problem of cybersecurity in the field of autonomous vehicles. A notable aspect is the use of autonomous vehicles to enhance the quality of decision-making processes as well as flexibility and efficiency. The implementation of new solutions will lead to improvements not just in transportation and delivery, but also in warehouse management. The growing demand for autonomous solutions, both in the industry and in the daily life of an average consumer, necessitates efforts to ensure their safe operation and use. The present literature review synthetically describes the history of the development of autonomous vehicles and machines. The standards and norms that should be met by products allowed for use as well as threats to cybersecurity, along with examples, are presented herein. The analysis of the collected materials leads to the conclusion that with the development of new technologies and the growth in the importance of autonomous solutions, the number of threats and the importance of systems securing the functioning of devices in cyberspace are increasing. Research on the problem also leads to the conclusion that legal systems do not fully keep up with technological developments, resulting in a lack of normative acts regulating this matter.

Published: March 2024

Application of organic and mineral fertilizers improves crop productivity and availability of plant nutrients. Further investigation into their integral application is crucial to obtaining optimum crop productivity. A field experiment was conducted during 2020–21 and 2021–22 at experimental field station in Benshangul Gumuz, Assosa University, Assosa, Ethiopia to investigate the response of maize (Zea mays L.) yield to lime, blended NPSZnB fertilizer and vermicompost. Two lime levels, three vermicompost levels, and three blended fertilizer levels were factorially combined and laid out in a randomized complete block design (RCBD). The integral application of organic fertilizer with blended fertilizer with lime significantly affected the agronomic parameters. Grain yield, number of grains per cob, 1000-seed weights, plant height, and days to 50% tasseling were parameters most affected by the amendments. Integral application of 50% of the recommended rate of blended fertilizer and vermicompost with lime improved maize yield by 53%, while the application of NPSZnB and vermicompost individually improved maize yield by 34% and 22% over the control treatment. One tonne of vermicompost and lime could substitute 38 kg and 23 kg of blended fertilizer, respectively. In conclusion, the integrated application of NPSZnB and vermicompost with the recommended amount of lime was the best soil fertility management option. In terms of grain yield and net benefit, 4 t/ha lime, 2.5 t/ha vermicompost and 100 kg/ha blended fertilizers were recommended for optimum maize production in the Assosa area and similar agroecologies.
Addressing the Gaps in Maternal, Infant, And Young Child Nutrition Policies in Kenya Post-Covid Era
Authors:   Clinical Nutritionist, Kiambu County, Chege Ruth Waithira
Published: March 2024

Proper nutrition during pregnancy, lactation, and early childhood helps to prevent micronutrient deficiencies for mothers and children. Improved maternal nutrition during pregnancy has been associated with improved birth outcomes and minimized risk of pregnancy-related complications. Poor nutrition during pregnancy is associated with increased risk of preeclampsia, anemia, hemorrhage, and death in mothers. In addition, poor nutrition status of mothers leads to stillbirth, wasting, low birth weight, and delayed developmental milestones in children. Mothers are the source of many generations. Thus, their nutrition status predominantly influences the nutrition status of the forthcoming generations. Given the sensitivity of maternal, infant, and young children nutrition services, the government of Kenya, in partnership with international agencies such as UNICEF and WHO, has developed policies and guidelines to ensure the well-being of this key population. These guidelines and policies address malnutrition, exclusive breastfeeding, complementary feeding, health education and counseling, access to healthcare, food security, and policy coordination and implementation. Although Kenya has come a long way in implementing these policies, there appear to be several gaps in the promotion and application of these policies. Kenya is still struggling with potential gaps in maternal and infant nutrition policies in Kenya including limited coverage of nutrition counseling and support to pregnant women, inadequate focus on preconception nutrition, inadequate support for exclusive breastfeeding, poor integration of nutrition into maternal and child health programs, inadequate coverage of complementary feeding programs especially to children above 24 months of age, poor monitoring and evaluation of systems to examine the effectiveness of various maternal, infant and young children practices. Further, the COVID-19 pandemic increased the uncertainties in the application of nutrition guidelines in maternal nutrition. In particular, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic exacerbated misperceptions in antenatal nutrition practices, breastfeeding practices, and complementary feeding. These misperceptions persist three years after the onset of the pandemic, thus adding to the existing gaps in the country’s maternal, infant, and young child nutrition policies. Within this context, the proposed study will explore the present gaps in Kenya’s maternal, young, and infant child feeding policies post-COVID-19 era and suggest sound recommendations to address these gaps effectively. Key Words: COVID-19 Pandemic, Maternal, Infant, and Young Child Nutrition Guidelines, Gaps in Maternal, Infant, and Young Child Nutrition Policies, Key policy recommendations, Evaluation of maternal and child nutrition programs

Background: Childhood obesity is a public health concern worldwide. Information on this condition among children living in poor populations is scarce in Kenya. The objectives of the study were to determine the prevalence and predictors of overweight and obesity among young children living in informal settlements. Methods: Cross sectional study conducted among 398 mothers / children 24-59 months old dyads. WHO age and sex specific Weight for Height (WFH) Z - score cut off points were used to determine overweight and obesity. Feeding practices were determined based on a 24-hour dietary intake and a 7-day food frequency. Information on physical activity was collected using the Children’s Physical Activity Questionnaire (CPAQ). Predictors of overweight and obesity were determined using Linear Stepwise Regression Analysis (P<0.05). Results: The prevalence of overweight and obesity among the children was 7.1%. The mean daily energy intake was (1602 kilocalories), carbohydrate (378.5g) and fat (27.4 g), higher than the RDI. Frequently consumed foods were cereals, mean 5.8; vegetables mean 5.8 and milk mean 6.3 days per week respectively. Fruit consumption was low; mean 2.9 days per week. Children were frequently involved in sedentary activities and screen time; mean 10.6 hours and 21.2 hours per week respectively. The main predictors of overweight and obesity were screen time (1.30; P<0.001); followed by sedentary activities (0.96; P<0.001) and carbohydrate consumption (0.01; P=0.033). Conclusion: Prevalence of overweight and obesity is high among the children due to the high amount of time spent on sedentary activities, screen time, and poor dietary practices.

A Retrospective Study: The Effectiveness of Lipid-Lowering Medications in Individuals at High Risk for Cardiovascular Disease
Authors: Kayan Fethullah , Günlü Serhat
Published: March 2024

Objective: The effective administration of lipid-lowering treatment is of utmost importance in mitigating cardiovascular (CV) risk in patients who are undergoing secondary prevention.
High-dose statins, ezetimibe, and the relatively newer PCSK9 inhibitors (PCSK9i) have shown effectiveness in achieving low density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL-C) treatment targets for these patients.
However, despite substantial evidence supporting their efficacy, these interventions remain significantly underutilized, primarily due to poor levels of patient adherence.
Moreover, there is limited data available on the overall effectiveness of cholesterol-lowering treatment and the proportion of secondary prevention patients who have achieved a well-regulated lipid profile.
In light of these factors, the principal aim of this investigation was to evaluate the present status of lipid-lowering medication within this specific group of individuals.
Methods: The study was conducted at Mardin Artuklu University, Mardin Training and Research Hospital between April 2021 and March 2023, focusing on patients with a history of secondary prevention of CVD. The study investigated prescribed cholesterol-lowering drugs, factors contributing to statin underuse, and lipid profile disclosure.
Results: 872 patients were included. 86.8% received statins, 5.2% ezetimibe, and 3.4% fibrates, while 13.2% received no lipid-lowering therapy. 64% of those on statins were on high doses. LDL-C values were assessed in 452 patients, with only 30% below the recommended cutoff of 70 mg/dL.
Conclusion: In this investigation involving secondary prevention patients, slightly over half of the participants received high-dose statins, while a negligible proportion received ezetimibe treatment.
Alarmingly, over two-thirds of the patients demonstrated LDL-C values that deviated significantly from the therapeutic range, indicating a considerable gap between their lipid profiles and the recommendations set forth by clinical guidelines.
Comparison of the effectiveness of foot orthosis use in pes planus treatment with combination of kinesio taping
Authors: Karıksız Mesut , Sever Cem
Published: March 2024

Aims: The aim of this study was to compare the clinical evaluations, disease impact, disability and foot function of symptomatic flexible pes planus (SFPP) deformity patients treated with the University of California at Berkeley Laboratory (UCBL) foot orthosis and Kinesio tape (KT) to those treated only with the UCBL orthosis.
Methods: A total of 100 feet in 50 subjects with a mean age of 77.10 months were included in the study. The subjects were divided into two groups: Group 1 (UCBL foot orthosis with KT, n=27) and Group 2 (UCBL-alone, n=23). Group 1 consisted of 27 patients (14 girls, 13 boys) with an average age of 62 months (range: 25 to 165), while Group 2 consisted of 23 patients (10 girls,13 boys) with an average age of 63 months (range: 30 to 166). Various assessments, including American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) scores, anteroposterior and lateral talocalcaneal and talo-first metatarsal angles, talonavicular angle, calcaneal pitch angle and clinical examinations, were conducted to foot-specific disease activity, and foot function.
Results: Group 1 exhibited mild-to-moderate foot disability and impairments, along with low levels of disease activity. Treatment with UCBL orthosis and Kinesio tape led to significant improvements in all AOFAS scores and foot angles. Substantial improvement in AOFAS scores was observed during the follow-up examination, except for the midfoot score.
Discussion: The use of UCBL foot orthosis in conjunction with Kinesio tape appears to be a preferable treatment strategy for children and adolescents with SFPP. This combined approach is associated with a lower rate of complications, higher patient comfort levels, and faster improvement in both radiological and clinical findings when compared to the use of the UCBL orthosis alone.

Introduction: Hepatitis E virus (HEV) is a substantial concern for public health with varying seroprevalence rates globally. In this study, HEV seroprevalence in patients admitted to Dicle University Hospital, in the southeastern area of Turkey, was investigated.
Methods: The test results for immunoglobulin M type HEV antibodies (Anti-HEV IgM) and immunoglobulin G type HEV antibodies (Anti-HEV IgG) of patients applied to Dicle University Hospital for various reasons between 2017 and 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. The sera samples underwent testing to identify IgG and IgM antibodies using HEV IgG and HEV IgM test kits (Dia-Pro Diagnostic Bioprobes, Milan, Italy) on the Triturus micro-ELISA system (Grifols SA, Barcelona, Spain). The study included both adult and pediatric patients. Statistical analysis was conducted to assess the associations between gender and age groups (pediatric and adult) and HEV seropositivity utilizing the chi-square test at a significance threshold of p

Authors: Kılınç Uğurlu Aylin , Çakır Gündoğan Seçil
Published: March 2024

Amaç: Bu çalışma, çocuklarda ve ergenlerde prolaktinoma ve makroprolaktineminin sıklığı ve hiperprolaktinemi tanısı konmuş olgularda etiyolojik faktörleri, başvuru şikayetleri, antropometrik ölçümleri ve laboratuvar bulgularını araştırmaktadır.
Yöntemler: Ağustos 2019 ile Ocak 2023 tarihleri arasında tanı alan 38 hiperprolaktinemi vakası değerlendirilmiştir. Çalışmamızda, olguların demografik verileri, semptomları, fizik muayene sonuçlarını ve MRI taramalarından elde edilen hipofiz adenom boyutlarını içeren laboratuvar sonuçları değerlendirilmiştir. Prolaktin düzeyleri, kemilüminesans immünoassay kullanılarak analiz edildi. Makroprolaktin için polietilen glikol çökeltme yöntemi kullanıldı.
Bulgular: Hiperprolaktinemi tanısı konan 38 olgunun, %94,7'si kız olup, ortalama yaşı 15,9±2,3yıldı. En yaygın başvuru şikâyeti menstrual düzensizlik (%45) idi. Olguların %64' ününfizik muayenesinde galaktore saptandı. Vakaların %44,7 'sinde prolaktinoma tespit edilirken, prolaktinomalı olguların prolaktin seviyesi prolaktinoma dışı hiperprolaktinemisi olanlara göre istatistiksel olarak daha yüksek saptandı (p=0,01). Mikroadenomlu olgular %58,8 oranında daha fazla bulunurken, makroadenomlu olgular %41,2 oranında tespit edildi. Tüm hastalar medikal olarak kabergolin ile tedavi edildi, transsfenoidal cerrahi yapılmadı. Prolaktinoma tespit edilen iki olguda ayrıca santral hipotiroidizm eşlik etmekteydi.
Sonuç: Prolaktinoma, nadir görülmesine rağmen çocuklarda ciddi hiperprolaktineminin en yaygın nedenidir. Çalışmamız, klinik semptom göstermeyen ancak artmış prolaktin seviyelerine neden olan ve sıklıkla asemptomatik seyreden makroprolaktinemiye dikkat çekmiştir, özellikle başka bir etiyoloji saptanamadığında ayırıcı tanıda makroprolaktineminin önemi vurgulanmıştır.
Responsibility and Perception
Authors: Henke Benjamin ,   Journal of Philosophy Inc.
Published: March 2024

I argue that beliefs based on irresponsibly formed experiences—whose causes were not appropriately regulated by the subject—are doxastically unjustified. Only this position, I claim, accounts for the higher epistemic standard required of perceptual experts. Section I defends this standard and applies it to a pair of cases in which either an expert umpire or a complete novice judge a force play in baseball. I argue that when the latter, but not the former, fails to follow rules about perceiving force plays, their resulting belief is justified. Section II shows that this difference can be explained by the fact that the novice, but not the expert, formed her experience responsibly. Section III shows that alternative explanations of the expert’s unjustified belief—from defeat, reliability, and inference—fail. Section IV shows that the epistemic relevance of responsible experience formation has broad implications for the epistemology of perceptual beliefs.
Précis: Religious Experience and the Knowledge of God
Authors: Netland Harold A. ,   Evangelical Philosophical Society
Published: March 2024

Religious Experience and the Knowledge of God is concerned with questions about the degree to which and the ways in which religious experiences, especially theistic experiences, can provide epistemic support for Christian beliefs. I adopt a critical trust approach to religious experiences and argue that, with appropriate qualifications, it can be reasonable for someone to believe that he or she has had a veridical experience of God and that this can provide some evidential support for certain Christian claims.
