Authors: Karmaoui Ahmed , Moumane Adil , Minucci Guido , El Jaafari Samir , Chaachouay Hassan , Hajji Lhoussain
Published: January 2023

Worldwide, the arid lands occupy one of the largest areas on Earth, covering more than 30% of the total area. In these lands, scarcity of resources has emerged as a consequence of climate change (CC) and anthropogenic pressure. The reduced resources require sustainable management, including the use of efficient methods and techniques to adapt to CC. The purpose of this chapter is to present a collection of affordable techniques and practices to optimize farming productivity in the context of CC. This chapter also presents the strengths and weaknesses and highlights the replication of these methods where water supply and food security are far from being achieved. Each technic must be studied and adapted with caution in context of the defined arid area, taking into account the local socio-economic and ecological characteristics. The proposed techniques may be used in governmental planning to support the adaptation and mitigation strategies.
Global Warming
Authors: Cruft Sebastian , Karmaoui Ahmed
Published: January 2023

A bibliometric analysis and a short discussion of some solutions to global warming. The current chapter attempts to reassess the origin of global warming and proposes an effective human-scale solution. The bibliometric review reveals an increasing trend of indexed publications from 1936 to 2020. The trend analysis shows research turning towards topics such as performance, life-cycle assessment, electric vehicles, construction, thermal comfort, mechanical properties, and quality. With regard to the origin of global warming, doubt is cast on the view that increased heat in the atmosphere is chiefly caused by increased carbon. From the point of view of chemistry and physics, CO2 is not a cause of heat, but a result of what creates heat (combustion). Moreover, the low-carbon strategies suggested to control the increase of heat seem slow, difficult to measure and control, and so far, ineffective. In industry, it is axiomatic that good technologies have measurable results, and always work in the same way if conditions are as foreseen.

Analytics of User Behaviors on Twitter Using Machine Learning
Authors: Islam Noman , Mehboob Muntaha , Javed Rimsha
Published: January 2023

Twitter is a leading social networking site when it comes down to topics such as politics, news, and trends around the globe. Another main reason for people to use Twitter is because they are able to share their emotions and feelings with others and form new relationships and views. With about 330 million users on Twitter (in 2020), it continues to rapidly grow, but at the same time, it is also losing users at a fast pace. In 2019, Twitter had 340 million users, but a year later, it lost 10 million of them. The goal of this chapter is to find the reasons of three questions. The first, to find the reason behind Twitter losing its users. The second, to see how a user changes behavior after usage of Twitter, and third, how a user's behavior changes when expanding his/her social circle on Twitter. For all of these questions, this chapter has designed a data set and executed experiments based on the authors' hypotheses. The results report the accuracies of each of these hypotheses.
ERG Functionally Overlaps with Other Ets Proteins in Promoting TH9 Cell Expression of Il9 during Allergic Lung Inflammation

Published: January 2023

CD4+ TH cells develop into subsets that are specialized in the secretion of particular cytokines to mediate restricted types of inflammation and immune responses. Among the subsets that promote development of allergic inflammatory responses, IL-9–producing TH9 cells are regulated by a number of transcription factors. We have previously shown that the E26 transformation-specific (Ets) family members PU.1 and Ets translocation variant 5 (ETV5) function in parallel to regulate IL-9. In this study we identified a third member of the Ets family of transcription factors, Ets-related gene (ERG), that mediates IL-9 production in TH9 cells in the absence of PU.1 and ETV5. Chromatin immunoprecipitation assays revealed that ERG interaction at the Il9 promoter region is restricted to the TH9 lineage and is sustained during murine TH9 polarization. Knockdown or knockout of ERG during murine or human TH9 polarization in vitro led to a decrease in IL-9 production in TH9 cells. Deletion of ERG in vivo had modest effects on IL-9 production in vitro or in vivo. However, in the absence of PU.1 and ETV5, ERG was required for residual IL-9 production in vitro and for IL-9 production by lung-derived CD4 T cells in a mouse model of chronic allergic airway disease. Thus, ERG contributes to IL-9 regulation in TH9 cells.
Efficacy of intranasal fluticasone propionate nano nasal spray in management of chronic rhinitis: a randomized clinical trial
Authors: Mehmood Yasir , Shahid Hira
Published: January 2023

Common inflammatory conditions of the airways, such as chronic rhinitis, nasal polyposis, and seasonal and chronic allergic rhinitis, can significantly impact the health and quality of life of a patient. Intranasal corticosteroids are recommended as a part of the treatment plan for each of these conditions because they can help reduce symptoms by reducing inflammation. In this randomized, controlled trial, 30 individuals with rhinitis were enrolled to compare the efficacy of a new nano formulation of Fluticasone Propionate nano-nasal spray (FP-NNS) with the commercially available FP-NS nasal spray in the treatment of allergic rhinitis (15 to 60 years). Patients were administered 50 µg doses of FP-NNS in the morning and evening. This regimen was administered as a nasal spray during a 4-week phase evaluating its efficacy and safety. Each efficacy endpoint was analyzed using analysis of variance. More of our clinical studies have demonstrated that FP-NNS decreases inflammatory markers in both adults and children.

An 83-year-old woman with asymptomatic pulmonary sarcoidosis presented to our hospital with fever and malaise for three months. Abdominal CT showed splenomegaly, and bone marrow examination revealed non-caseating granulomas. Pancytopenia was diagnosed due to bone marrow and splenic lesions of sarcoidosis. Steroid pulses were administered, but the patient died without response to treatment. Pathological autopsy results showed non-caseating granulomas and hemophagocytosis in the spleen and bone marrow. This suggested hemophagocytic syndrome, which was not suspected before death, in addition to sarcoidosis. In patients with splenomegaly and pancytopenia with history of pulmonary sarcoidosis, hemophagocytic syndrome should be considered in differential diagnosis.

Published: January 2023

COVID-19 pandemic has unquestionably influenced care of acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Still, its impact on patients (pts) characteristics, presentation, treatment, and outcomes remains not well established in late pandemic times. To address this issue, we performed a prospective study of type-1 AMI pts admitted in a tertiary care hospital. Pts were enrolled during 6-months in 2019 (n=122; pre-COVID-19 (PC) group) and in 2021 (n=196; late-COVID-19 (C) group). Data was based on pts interview and review of medical records. Age and gender distribution, as well as ST/Non-ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI/NSTEMI) proportion and access to coronariography and revascularization were similar between groups. C pts presented more pre-existing established cardiovascular disease (CVD) (43% vs 30%; p=0,03); more frequent description of typical chest pain (94% vs 84%; p=0,002); higher levels of pain intensity, in a 0-10 scale (8±2 vs 7±2; p=0,02); higher frequencies of AMI complications (27% vs 15%; p=0,01) and worse Killip (K) class evolution (K≥2 in 22% C vs 13% PC pts; p=0,05). In conclusion, late pandemic AMI pts presented worse in-hospital outcomes in our study, though pre-hospital and hospital care were comparable to pre-pandemic times. Covid pts had a higher burden of pre-existing established CVD and a more typical and intense symptom presentation. Therefore, it can be hypothesized that "sicker" pts continued to look for help when presenting AMI symptoms, while "less sick" pts and the ones with less typical and intense symptoms possibly avoided contact with health care services during late pandemic period.
Multi‐task learning with contextual hierarchical attention for Korean coreference resolution
Authors: Park Cheoneum
Published: January 2023

Coreference resolution is a task in discourse analysis that links several headwords used in any document object. We suggest pointer networks‐based coreference resolution for Korean using multi‐task learning (MTL) with an attention mechanism for a hierarchical structure. As Korean is a head‐final language, the head can easily be found. Our model learns the distribution by referring to the same entity position and utilizes a pointer network to conduct coreference resolution depending on the input headword. As the input is a document, the input sequence is very long. Thus, the core idea is to learn the word‐ and sentence‐level distributions in parallel with MTL, while using a shared representation to address the long sequence problem. The suggested technique is used to generate word representations for Korean based on contextual information using pre‐trained language models for Korean. In the same experimental conditions, our model performed roughly 1.8% better on CoNLL F1 than previous research without hierarchical structure.
Is the Conflict between Faith and Reason real or imaginary?
Authors: Okunade Abraham Adebanjo
Published: January 2023

From time immemorial there have been diverse opinions and presuppositions about the
subject of faith and the subject of reason in both theology and philosophy from different
schools of thought in the west and even in African Christianity. Some theologians have
considered faith and reason as being incompatible and as two parallel lines that can never meet; the early Christian writer Tertullian asked, “What has Athens to do with Jerusalem? What is the relationship between the church and the Academy? These rhetorical questions suggest that the conflict between faith and reason is real and not just imaginary. Other schools of thought see no discord between faith and reason and thereby conclude that the seeming rift between the duo is just founded on human imagination. Nevertheless, faith and reason are seen as the two ‘wings’ upon which theology or religion thrive and sustain themselves in comprehending religious concepts and beliefs. Consequently, there abound diverse hypothesis and presupposition about the duo (faith and reason). Various schools of thought exist in history and in the contemporary scene on the controversy, rift and conflict between faith and reason, fideism and rationalism. Rhetorically, is the conflict between faith and reason real or imaginary? Consequently, this paper addresses the historical overview of the concept of faith and reason, the conflict between faith and reason and the equilibrium cum negotiation therein. The research method employed was a historical-analytical one.

Enchantment, Place and Space: Implications for Cultural Astronomy
Authors: Curry Patrick
Published: January 2023

This paper considers the experience of enchantment, especially in terms of relationality and ‘concrete magic’. It then turns to place and moment, key elements of that experience, as distinct from space and time. In these respects, enchantment cannot be captured by the modern division (with older roots) into material vs. spiritual; it is indefeasibly both. Turning to the implications for cultural astronomy, I argue that they render indefensible the assumption of the sky or cosmos as an inert, passive backdrop for human meanings to be projected onto them. Meaning, as pointed up by enchantment as an especially intense kind of meaning, is necessarily participatory and relational, which means that agency and subjectivity cannot be confined to humans alone.
Total Solar Eclipses as Example Illustrations on a Pan- Emotional Spectrum
Authors: Hockey Thomas
Published: January 2023

The history of total solar eclipses usually is to be found within the history of science. However, a true social history of total eclipses must include the experience of the general population that witnessed it. I am interested in the emotions induced by a total eclipse of the Sun in the recent past. I surmise that solar eclipses engender all eight of the psycho-evolutionary classifications of emotion enunciated by Robert Plutchik. There are eight primary emotions in Plutchik’s system. I suggest examples corresponding to each, relying on accounts of the total solar eclipse of 7 August 1869.
The Development of a Lunar Land Ethic
Authors: Heim Jessica
Published: January 2023

‘Space ethics’ is a term which encompasses a wide variety of ethical quandaries. Issues such as how we should treat extraterrestrial life if we encounter it (even in the form of bacteria), whether it is permissible to genetically alter humans, so that they are more suited to space travel, and what degree of resource extraction is acceptable in space (is it acceptable to mine an asteroid into oblivion?). All can be considered aspects of space ethics. In this paper, I will focus primarily on a particular subset of space ethics – that of how we ought or ought not to treat terrestrial environments outside the Earth, specifically that of the Moon. As the response people have regarding such questions are rooted in their conception of the nature of the relationship between humans and their environment, I will examine some of the predominant ideas in the space community on this subject, as well as address critiques of the status quo. I will also explore alternative perspectives which may lead to more favorable outcomes for both the future of humanity in space, as well as to more sound treatment of the terrestrial environments we explore, and will offer thoughts on the development of a lunar land ethic.

Factors Influencing Women’s Involvement in Entrepreneurship: A Qualitative Study
Authors:   PhD, Hong Duc University, No. 565 Quang Trung, Dong Ve, Thanh Hoa, Vietnam
Published: January 2023

Entrepreneurship plays a significant role in socio-economic growth of a country and is a major concern to both scholars and policy makers. Within entrepreneurial ecosystem, women entrepreneurs are also regarded as new growth engine of socio-economic development. Women historically have little access to traditional forms of business ventures. But these days, women’s entrepreneurship has been spoken everywhere in each part of the world. In relation to the phenomenon, it is necessary to identify the factors that motivate women into entrepreneurship. This study aims to explore the factors that influence women's participation in entrepreneurship activities. Using a qualitative method, semi-structured interviews were conducted with 15 female entrepreneurs in Vietnam. The discussions addressed various factors affecting the involvement of these women in their business activities. Research results show that there are five factors affecting the active participation of informants in startup activities; (1) Family’s support, (2) Environmental Effect, (3) Increase the Income Level of the Family, (4) Family Heritage Business and Exposure, and (5) Self-Independence. The findings of this study can be used as an inspiration to increase the number of female entrepreneurs in Vietnam. In addition, it can also be used as a reference to motivate women to become entrepreneurs.

A construção civil é responsável por parte considerável dos impactos ambientais, que se iniciam na extração da matéria prima, se estendendo até a geração de resíduos. Mediante os problemas causados, o setor vem procurando formas de inovar, buscando maneiras de ser sustentável. Neste trabalho objetiva-se confeccionar barras, tendo como matéria-prima base as embalagens pós-consumo de PET, que substituiriam as barras de aço na armação interna de vigas de concreto, minimizando o impacto do descarte indevido de resíduos de embalagens de PET e colaborando com a redução da extração dos recursos naturais empregados na confecção das barras de aço utilizadas no concreto armado convencional. Foram realizados diversos testes, entretanto foram encontradas dificuldades em moldar essas barras de PET com configuração inteiriça, não ocas e do tamanho necessário para confecção dos corpos de prova para realização dos ensaios para determinação da resistência a tração na compressão. No entanto, o presente trabalho permitiu o conhecimento dos melhores materiais a serem utilizados na confecção das barras de PET, da melhor e mais segura forma de realizar o processo de derretimento das embalagens e do processo de moldagem das barras.

Published: January 2023

Introdução: O vírus SARS-CoV-2 através da proteína spike que se encontra em sua superfície, tem a capacidade de se ligar ao receptor da enzima conversora de angiotensina-2 (ECA-2) humana e propiciar o desenvolvimento da doença. Objetivo: analisar as severidades dos marcadores cardiovasculares (troponina), tromboembólicos (Dímero-D) e inflamatórios (PCR) em pacientes com COVID-19. Metodologia: Foi realizada uma revisão narrativa, avaliando quali e quantitativamente os artigos no período de 2020 e 2021, analisando os marcadores supracitados e sua relação com a boa evolução e óbito. Resultados e discussão: Em pacientes com COVID-19 foi identificado a presença de tromboembolismo venoso, justificado por um estado de hipercoagulabilidade e alterações hematológicas, demonstrando elevados níveis de dímero D, esse que pode estar elevado nessas condições devido a ativação simultânea de fibrinólise. A inflamação do miocárdio na doença é consistente e pode ser ocasionada por alguns mecanismos patogênicos, como tempestade de citocinas, lesão direta, dentre outros. A manifestação clínica predominante da COVID-19 é a pneumonia viral podendo causar inúmeros distúrbios cardiovasculares como lesão miocárdica, arritmias, síndrome coronariana aguda e tromboembolismo, além de um estado inflamatório agudo instalado evidenciado pela observação de biomarcadores inflamatórios. Conclusão: Assim, conclui-se que há correlação positiva com a severidade inflamatória, cardiovascular e distúrbios tromboembólicos com o desfecho favorável ou desfavorável da patologia.

O objetivo do estudo foi analisar associação entre a qualidade de vida e incapacidade em pessoas vivendo com psoríase (PVP). Trata-se de um estudo transversal quantitativo realizado entre julho de 2021 e janeiro de 2022 com a participação de PVP com idade entre 18 e 65 anos. Cento e quatorze PVP responderam, em formato online, a três questionários sendo (i) questionário sociodemográfico, (ii) índice de qualidade de vida em dermatologia (DLQI) e (iii) índice de incapacidade causada pela psoríase (PDI). Para a correlação entre os escores do DLQI e os domínios do PDI além das correlações com as variáveis renda familiar, faixa etária e nível educacional, foi utilizado coeficiente de correlação de Spearman, tendo nível de significância quando p <0,05. Não foram encontradas diferenças significativas entre os sexos, nível educacional, região de moradia e histórico familiar entre os escores dos domínios do PDI e do DLQI. O DLQI correlacionou-se com os domínios de atividades diárias (r= -0,43, p<0,01), escola ou trabalho (r= -0,34, p<0,01), lazer (r= 0,61, p<0,01) e tratamento (r= 0,18, p=0,05). O domínio atividades diárias correlacionou-se com escola ou trabalho (r= 0,35, p<0,01), relações pessoais (r= 0,33, p<0,01) e tratamento (r= 0,19, p=0,03). O domínio escola ou trabalho correlacionou-se com relações pessoais (r= 0,35, p<0,01) e tratamento (r= 0,19, p=0,03). Relações pessoais apresentou correlação com tratamento (r= 0,25, p<0,01) e lazer correlacionou-se com tratamento (r= 0,2, p= 0,03). Concluímos que a psoríase causa reduz a qualidade de vida e provoca prejuízos no cotidiano das pessoas acometidas pela doença.
Fractionation methods of eucalyptus Kraft lignin for application in biorefinery
Authors:   , Borges Felipe Pedersoli
Published: January 2023

Lignin is the second most abundant biopolymer on Earth, being the main organic compound present in residual liquors from chemical processes to obtain cellulose. Although almost all of this lignin is currently burned in the recovery cycle of the kraft process, applications in biorefinery have been increasingly studied, due to the richness of functional groups present in this polymer. However, a large industrial application still requires overcoming its difficult workability, since it has high polydispersity and low reactivity. Thus, this study aimed to obtain more homogeneous and pure lignin fractions from the application of one-step and sequential fractionation methods using organic solvents and acid precipitation. The organic solvents used were ethyl acetate, ethanol, methanol and acetone. The pHs tested were 9, 7, 5, 3 and 1, by adding hydrochloric acid. The fractions were characterized in terms of acid- soluble and insoluble lignin, carbohydrates and ashes, as well as by elemental analysis. S/G ratios were determined by Py-GC-MS. All fractions obtained in both fractionation methods showed higher carbon contents, higher purity and lower S/G ratio than the corresponding initial materials (eucalypt kraft lignin and eucalypt kraft black liquor), characteristics that are very favorable for application in biorefinery. Acetone-soluble (sequential) and pH 1 (one- step) precipitated fractions are the most suitable for carbon fiber production. Fractions soluble in ethyl acetate (one-step) and insoluble at pH 3 and 1 (sequential) appear to be the most appropriate for applications that require good oxidative properties. The fractions soluble in ethanol (one-step), methanol (one-step), acetone (one-step) and precipitated at pH 9 (one-step) and pH 5 (sequential) are the ones that allow better chemical substitution in obtaining bioproducts. Fractions soluble in ethanol (sequential) and precipitated at pHs 5 and 1 (sequential) are not of commercial interest due to their low yield. Keywords: Biorefinery. Lignin. Organic Solvents. pH Effect. Eucalyptus.

Objective: To determine the association of clinical and pathological parameters on recurrence of treated stage T4squamous cell carcinoma of oral cavity patients managed with surgery followed by concomitant chemo and radiation therapy.
Method: The retrospective, cohort study was conducted at Patel Hospital, Karachi, and comprised data of patients diagnosed with oral squamous cell carcinoma and admitted between January 1, 2014, and January 30, 2019. Patients of either gender aged 20-80 years who had a minimum follow-up of one year were included. Data was collected using the Head and Neck Cancer registry form and the medical record files. The subjects were also contacted by telephone when needed. The study end-points were disease-free survival and overall survival. Data was analysed using SPSS 21.
Results: Out of the 83 patients, 65(78%) were male. The overall median(range) age was 46(20-80) years, and 43(52%) of them were aged 31-50 years. Overall, 15(18%) patients had positive margins and 48(58%) had proven cervical node metastasis on histopathology. Overall survival was 42.2% with the median(range) follow-up time was 14(9-21) months and 5-year disease-free survival was 45.8% with the median (range) follow-up time was 13(7-19). The factor that affected the final outcome was found to be the increasing nodal ratio (p=0.043).
Conclusion: Among T4 oral squamous cell carcinoma patients treated with surgery and adjuvant therapy, the rate of disease recurrence was found to be high. Tumors with a high cervical nodal disease burden and/or margin involved were at substantially higher risk of recurrence.

Published: January 2023

Anak sehat dan cerdas merupakan impian dari setiap orang tua, juga bagi anak-anak yang berada di panti asuhan. Tumbuh kembang anak dalam pengawasan pengasuh masih sering kali terabaikan. Kepedulian pengasuh dalam memberikan stimulasi dini untuk melakukan deteksi dini terhadap tumbuh kembang anak masih terbatas, hal ini karena kemampuan pengetahuan pengasuh yang masih kurang. Tumbuh kembang anak merupakan indikator capaian yang menunjukan bahwa anak tersebut telah siap dalam memasuki tahapan selanjutnya khususnya pada Pendidikan formal. Tujuan dari kegiatan pengabdian ini adalah untuk memberikan pengetahuan kepada pengasuh dalam melakukan deteksi dini pada anak, yang dapat dengan segera mengetahui adanya penyimpangan anak. Kegiatan pengabdian ini dilakukan dengan cara mengajarkan pengasuh dalam melakukan deteksi dini tumbuh kembang anak melalui pendampingan dan membimbing cara pengisian kuesioner SDIDTK dan KPSP. Kegiatan ini dilakukan bersamaan antara pengasuh dengan fasilitator, dengan hasil kegiatan yang baik dan semua anak yang ada di Panti Asuhan dapat terdeteksi secara dini. Sebanyak 10 pengasuh yang dilatih dengan melakukan stimulasi dan pengukuran tumbuh kembang pada 35 anak. Hasil kegiatan pengabdian ini didapatkan bahwa anak yang tinggal di panti Asuhan masih dalam tahapan normal dan tidak terjadi penyimpangan.
