Various grafting materials are utilised to facilitate regeneration. There is currently a paradigm shift towards applying poly lactic-co-glycolic acid (PLGA), which is regarded as an excellent scaffold for tissue engineering. Concentrated growth factor (CGF) has also been reported to promote wound healing. Nevertheless, the role of PLGA microspheres as a substitute for bone graft material with CGF in bone regeneration remains unclear. This study was designed to evaluate the effect of CGF with PLGA on bone formation and the expression of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) following socket preservation. PLGA microspheres were prepared using double solvent evaporation method and observed under scanning electron microscopy (SEM). A 6 mL of rabbit’s blood was collected from the marginal ear vein and centrifuged to obtain CGF. Blood was also collected for ALP assessment from 24 New Zealand White (NZW) male rabbits subjected to the first upper left premolar extraction. Sockets were filled with CGF, PLGA, CGF+PLGA or left empty and observed with microscopic computed tomography (micro-CT) at four weeks and eight weeks. The SEM image revealed a spherical shape with interconnected pores on the surface of the PLGA particles. Repeated measures ANOVA were used to evaluate the effect of time and treatment (p < 0.05) with significant differences in bone width, height, volume, volume fraction and expression of ALP was observed with CGF+PLGA. Both CGF and PLGA have the potential as the alternative grafting materials and this study could serve as an ideal benchmark for future investigations on the role of CGF+PLGA in bone regeneration enhancement.

Erectile dysfunction (ED) and periodontitis have common risk factors, such as diabetes mellitus and tobacco smoking. Multiple reports are available in regard to the association between ED and chronic periodontitis (CP). The study aimed to determine the association of ED and CP in selected Malaysian population. In this study, 74 patients (mean age = 52.4 ± 10.9 years old) diagnosed with ED, from scores via the International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF-5) questionnaire, were included. ED severity was classified as mild, mild to moderate, moderate, and severe. Periodontal condition was recorded using basic periodontal examination (BPE) method, of which scores of 0, 1, 2, and 3 were associated with having no periodontitis while a score of 4 was considered to have periodontitis. There are 40 (54.1%) subjects found to have periodontitis and the association of ED and periodontitis showed a moderate positive degree of correlation, ρ = 0.487 (p < 0.001). The percentage of subjects having periodontitis indicated an increasing trend with the severity of ED; from 19.0% (mild ED), 54.2% (mild to moderate ED), 75.0% (moderate ED), to 84.6% (severe ED). A greater degree of correlation was noted between dental scaling experience and ED, ρ = 0.635 (p < 0.001). Binomial logistic regression had shown no other co-morbidities and factors were affecting this relation. There seemed to be an association between ED and periodontitis existing in these selected Malaysian populations.

Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is the world’s most important cereal crop and is in great demand to supply stable food for over half of the worldwide population, particularly in Asia countries. Aside from nutritional value, pigmented rice is being considered a promising source of antioxidant molecules and bioactive compositions, which increasingly received much attention from researchers and food producers around the world. This study aims to determine the quality modification of “Cam”, a colored - paddy rice under the different storage conditions. The treatments were arranged in a completely randomized design and repeated 15 times each with packaging factors including poly amid bag (PA), polypropylene bag (PP), and Jute bag (JB). The variations of anthocyanin, protein and amylose contents during storage were determined. The results have revealed that there were no significant changes in “Cam” rice- anthocyanin and protein contents during 3 months of stock for all samples, but a slight decrease of these contents after 6 months of storage and a great decline of those for 9 and 12 month-stored samples. Meanwhile, the rice samples’ amylose content showed a lower decrease, especially for those stored in PA bags during 9 months of stock. As a result attained, this study has found the optimal to store pigmented rice paddy rice at 25°C under the vacuumed-packed PA packaging

Purpose: It is known that early retirement has been increasing for patients with Parkinson's disease. The data on the factors that cause early retirement in this patient population is limited. The objective of this study is to analyze the effects of Parkinson's disease that cause early retirement.

Methods: Seventy-five patients with Parkinson’s disease (mean age: 59.10±9.20 years) participated in this study. Data were collected through face-to-face interviews with patients within the framework of 29 questions determined by the researchers by examining the literature and similar studies.

Results: Participants have been analyzed into groups: Retirement types and reasons for retirement. Patients that quit their jobs because of Parkinson's disease stated that bradykinesia in motor symptoms, somnipathy, and depression in non-motor symptoms came first in their reasons for retirement. It has been determined that 90% of participants that quit their jobs because of Parkinson's disease were not supported by the institutions they worked for, 77.55% couldn't receive physiotherapy treatment and 61.22% couldn't receive psychological therapy. In addition, it has been determined that 55.1% of the participants would like to work if they find a suitable job.

Conclusion: For patients to stay in the workforce longer, patients with Parkinson's disease, their caregivers, and employers should be informed about the health problems associated with Parkinson's disease, their possible consequences, as well as strategies and treatment techniques developed for motor and non motor symptoms.

The Three Gorges Reservoir on the Yangtze River is the largest water control project in the world. While exerting great benefits (i.e., flood control, hydropower generation, inland river navigation and scenic tourism), the eutrophication of the tributary bay of the Three Gorges Reservoir has become one of the main environmental problems. This paper is to study the causes of water environment evolution in the tributary bay and investigate the driving force of eutrophication succession after the Three Gorges Reservoir enters the regular operation. By considering the Meixi River on the left bank of the mainstream of the Three Gorges Reservoir area (a typical tributary), this paper developed a three-dimensional hydrodynamic, water quality and water eutrophication mathematical model for the Meixi tributary bay, calibrated with measured data about hydrological regime (water level, flow), hydrodynamic factors (velocity) and water quality (water temperature, Chl-a, TP, TN, etc.). The annual variation of Chl-a concentration in the tributary bay was simulated, and the response relationship between the variation of Chl-a concentration and water conditions of the mainstream and tributary bay (e.g., reservoir water level, reservoir bay velocity, exogenous nutrient input, water temperature stratification and other factors) was analyzed. Results show that the water storage operation of the Three Gorges Reservoir contributes to the low flow velocity maintenance (≤0.05 m/s) in the tributary bay, the backward flow of the mainstream and the sufficient nutrients carried by the tributary water; the water temperature stratification is more likely to occur in the slow detention area in the middle-upper part of the bay in spring and summer, which provides a potential driving force for algae blooms. With the continuous decline of pollution load input in the reservoir basin, the algae blooms in tributary bay was the result of the combined action of low water level operation, low flow velocity (≤0.02 m/s), a large number of non-point source loads input with rainfall and runoff (the proportion of wet year is >70%), and obvious water temperature stratification in shallow water area, and the suitable meteorological conditions are the main inducing factors. Therefore, since the ecological regulation cannot be applied to the multitudinous tributary bays, the non-point source pollution control in the tributary bay is the key to controlling factor.

Published: August 2022

Electrocardiogram (ECG) is a visual representation of the heartbeat that can be used to detect cardiac problems. It helps in detection of normal or abnormal state of heart diseases. So, it’s difficult to detect the cardio logical status by naked eyes. So, features extraction from ECG signal is crucial to recognise heart disorders. After selecting significant features, classification can be done by machine learning (ML), and deep learning (DL). Most of the methods utilised to classify the electrocardiogram are based on 1-D electrocardiogram data. These methods focus on extracting the attributes wavelength and time of each waveform as an input but these algorithms behave different during selecting classification technique. Various ECG construal algorithms based on signal processing approaches have been planned in recent years. Few studies shows how optimisation techniques are helpful for feature selection and classification with ML and DL. This works compares the studies based on ML and DL. It also depicts how optimisation methods increases the accuracy, sensitivity and specificity of data.

Toxicity of methylene blue (MB) in water bodies has a negative effect on environment and living organisms. The presence of MB in water could last longer in view of the non-biodegradable characteristic. In this study, hydrochar was used as adsorbent to remove MB from aqueous solution. Hydrochar derived from bagasse was successfully prepared by hydrothermal carbonization treatment at temperature of 270oC, and pressure of 10 Bar for 30 minutes. For enhancing the adsorption ability, hydrochar was activated by adding KOH that was able to increase the percent removal by ~11%. The hydrochar was characterized using FTIR before and after adsorption. The results showed that the dominant functional groups of hydrochar included O-H, C=O, -O- and aromatic compounds. Whereas, the functional group of azo groups such as N-H and N=N appeared after adsorption. The maximum adsorption capacity (Qmax) was 5.1204 mg/g, while the adsorption isotherm of MB onto hydrochar followed the Langmuir and Freundlich model. The adsorption mechanism belongs to chemical adsorption, and the rate of diffusion can be neglected because the adsorption kinetics fitted well with pseudo-second order and the value of k2 > kdif > k1. Thermodynamic studies indicated that the adsorption process is classified as endothermic and reversible at room temperature. The results showed that hydrochar could be the alternative adsorbent for removing MB in wastewater. In addition, sugarcane bagasse has a great potential as feedstock of hydrochar.

The need of dissolving pulp (DP) for rayon fiber production is increasing rapidly in recent years. Sustainable sources of DP raw materials and an effective manufacturing process are urgently required. This study aims to manufacture dissolving pulp (DP) with high brightness from Sansevieria-trifasciata (ST) fiber through the pre-hydrolysis, soda-Anthraquinone (Soda-AQ) cooking, and chlorine-free bleaching processes. The cellulose content, kappa number, pulp yield, and viscosity were analyzed. The results showed that the ?-cellulose content in ST raw material (39.43%) was relatively similar to the ?-cellulose content in Acacia pulping kraft (39.2%). Furthermore, the variations in pre-hydrolysis time affected the Kappa number, pulp yield, and viscosity. The DP obtained by the elementary chlorine-free (ECF) bleaching process had a viscosity of 9.3 cP, ?-cellulose content of 97.7%, and the brightness of 90.1% which was higher than the ISO standard of pulp brightness. The high DP brightness obtained from this unique combination of pre-hydrolysis, soda-AQ cooking and chlorine-free bleaching sequences has great potential for further development, as it can be used in viscose rayon staple fibers production.
Tuning the magnetic states in AA-stacked bilayer zigzag graphene nanoribbons
Authors: Prayitno Teguh Budi
Published: August 2022

Available reports mentioned that the magnetic ground state in the AA-stacked bilayer zigzag graphene nanoribbons is the non-magnetic state. As a consequence, it is impossible to exploit magnetism for future electronic devices. This paper aims to show how to generate magnetism in the AA-stacked bilayer zigzag graphene nanoribbons by employing ?rst-principles calculations. As we stacked different ribbon widths, the magnetic ground states appeared for all the thicknesses. In general, the G-type antiferromagnetic state, which is the antiferromagnetic alignment between both intraplane- and interplane-edge carbon atoms, is the ground state for all the thicknesses. We also found that the degenerate magnetic ground states and excited states may appear under certain thicknesses, thus yielding the richness of the magnetic state. As hole-electron doping was applied, a phase transition of magnetic ground state emerged for certain thicknesses, indicating that a new magnetic ground state in the AA-stacked bilayer zigzag graphene nanoribbons can be tuned by the doping.

This study examines the chemical compositions of eggshell powder (ESP) and lime as the soil stabilisers and compared with the compositions of cement and fly-ash to understand the optimal distribution of chemical stabilisers maximising the bearing capacity and structural integrity of subgrade soil. The different proportions of eggshell powder (ESP) (2%, 4%, 6% and 8% of total soil mass) were mixed with a fixed proportion of lime (6% of total soil mass) to analyse the optimum proportion of eggshell maximising the soil structural integrity. Similar proportions of fly-ash (2%, 4%, 6% and 8% of total soil mass) were mixed with cement (4% of total soil mass) to analyse the comparative effects of ESP-lime and fly-ash-cement on the soil stability. The soil samples were collected from three different points of unpaved roads in Ganderbal district of Jammu & Kashmir State in India that experiences the seasonal variations resulting in uneven moisture distribution throughout the year. The CBR tests of both treated (chemical stabilisation) and untreated soils were performed followed the code of practices in Indian standards that is IS: 2720 1985. The combination of 4% ESP and 6% lime resulted in highest CBR value at 19.06%; and the combination of 4% fly-ash and 4% cement had the CBR value of 18.73%. The increase in bearing capacity of subgrade soil mixed with ESP and lime supports the pavement structure with less thickness resulting in the reduction of budgetary allocation for road construction, maintenance and rehabilitation operations.

Published: August 2022

BACKGROUND

Digital psychiatry, defined as the application of health technologies to the prevention, assessment, and treatment of mental health illnesses, is a growing field. Interest in the clinical use of these technologies continues to grow. However, psychiatric trainees receive limited or no formal education on the topic.

OBJECTIVE

This study aims to pilot a curriculum on digital psychiatry for a US-based psychiatry residency training program and examine the change in learner confidence regarding appraisal and clinical recommendation of digital mental health apps.

METHODS

Two 60-minute sessions were presented through a web-based platform to postgraduate year 2-4 residents training in psychiatry at a US-based adult psychiatry residency program. Learner confidence was assessed using pre- and postsession surveys.

RESULTS

Matched pre- and postsession quizzes showed improved confidence in multiple domains aligning with the course objectives. This included the structured appraisal of digital mental health apps (P=.03), assessment of a patient’s digital health literacy (P=.01), formal recommendation of digital health tools (P=.03), and prescription of digital therapeutics to patients (P=.03). Though an improvement from baseline, mean ratings for confidence did not exceed “somewhat comfortable” on any of the above measures.

CONCLUSIONS

Our study shows the feasibility of implementing a digital psychiatry curriculum for residents in multiple levels of training. We also identified an opportunity to increase learner confidence in the appraisal and clinical use of digital mental health apps through the use of a formal curriculum.
A Novel Algorithm for Network Enhancement JUP and Rate Scheduling in mmWave for 5 G Networks
Authors: Fatima Ameema , Sharma Dr. Sanjay
Published: August 2022

Abstract: Because of the open nature of the wireless medium, which renders wireless transmission subject to eavesdropping and hostile attacks, security and privacy have become increasingly important aspects in wireless communication networks. The introduction and development of decentralised and ad-hoc wireless networks has posed significant obstacles for implementing higher-layer key distribution and management in practise. As a result, physical layer security has emerged as a feasible method for enabling safe transmission while keeping complexity to a minimum. We might use this technique to focus on physical layer security design and enhancement in wireless networks

Authors: Elisabeth Vinola , Jeyakumari. S Rexlin
Published: August 2022

Abstract: Inventory management in the supply chain has been discovered to be the key to long-term success. Inventory is important in the supply chain because it balances supply characteristics and consumer demand. In this non-coordinated supply chain model, the merchant determines the appropriate order quantity based on the various expenses involved. Under quadratic price dependent demand, an extension of the lagrangian method is used to optimize fuzzy EOQ, total variable cost of the relevant retailer, and the supply chain. To support the model, a numerical case is solved.

A Study on Measuring Social Inclusion of Minority Women: Limitations on the role of marriage immigrant women as parents, and their effect on child rearing
Authors:   Korean Association For Learner-Centered Curriculum And Instruction, Lee eun-ju
Published: August 2022

Objectives This study is to analyze marriage immigrant women from the point of view of ‘parents’ and seek ways to embrace their limitations. Whereas previous research on marriage immigrant women was focused on ‘marriage life’ and ‘assimilation into Korean society’, this study is to highlight on the limitations of their role as parents in public elementary and secondary schools after settlement.
Methods As a research method, in-depth interviews were conducted a total of 10 times or more on parenting experiences from kindergarten to elementary and middle school from 2014 to 2022 for a grounded theory analysis.
Results As a result, when the role of marriage immigrant women was classified into core categories such as mother role performance, livelihood support performance, and parent role performance; the parental role showed the highest limit. In other words, the level of satisfaction with life in Korea was quite high in the infant stage, which emphasized the role of mothers and the stage of providing livelihood support, but they were very concerned about their children's academic achievement and emotional communication difficulties after entering elementary school.
Conclusions It is expected that this study will suggest implications for the need for an individual support system for multicultural youth in public schools in a multicultural support system that is currently limited to family life and economic support.
