Efficacy of Antimicrobial Photodynamic Therapy as an adjunct periodontal intervention in periodontally diseased subjects undergoing orthodontic therapy
Authors: Murugan Thamaraiselvan , Serab Husain
Published: March 2024

Photodynamic therapy in fixed orthodontic patients with gingival disease might be beneficial, being non-invasive and having accessibility to difficulty to reach areas like, interdental region with the presence of wires and brackets. This systematic review was designed to analyze the available evidence on the efficacy of antimicrobial photodynamic therapy as an adjunct to scaling in reduction of gingival inflammation in periodontally diseased subjects undergoing fixed orthodontic treatment. Comprehensive search was conducted in electronic databases like PubMed, Scopus and Google scholar along with hand search in relevant journals. Five studies satisfied the criteria and were included in qualitative synthesis of the systematic review. The results of the primary outcome showed adjunctive aPDT did not result in any difference in reduction of gingival inflammation (BOP) compared to scaling alone in fixed orthodontic patients. Only one study showed a significant reduction of gingival inflammation with aPDT, whereas it was better in the scaling group (one study) or no significant difference (3 study) in the other studies. However, aPDT resulted in significant reduction of most of the bacterial species count and proinflammatory cytokine levels in GCF compared to scaling alone. Within the limitations of this systematic review, there is no clear evidence that aPDT adjunctive to scaling has a better effect in reducing gingival inflammation in fixed orthodontic patients. Future studies addressing this area should focus on well planned standardized, long term RCTs that will aid clinicians in making a more evidence - based decision.

Authors: Faiza Saleem  , Muhammad Asif  , Muhammad Saeed Lodhi
Published: March 2024

The significance of women entrepreneurs in creating jobs and driving social and economic progress cannot be overstated. In less developed economies like Pakistan, the participation and impact of women entrepreneurs are notably lower as compared to more advanced nations. This research aims to investigate the effect of informal institutions on venture creation in Pakistan within the framework of institutional theory. Employing a quantitative approach, the study concentrates on women entrepreneurs operating in Hazara and Peshawar divisions. Data collection involved the utilization of five point Likert scale questionnaire through simple random sampling. Empirical analysis of the collected data was executed employing the path analysis methodology within the framework of structural equation modeling (SEM) facilitated by Smart PLS 3. Findings from the research revealed a significant positive impact between informal institutional support in women entrepreneurship and venture creation. The study underscores the significance of government and relevant bodies focusing on critical determinants such as family support, fear of failure, and social networking to enhance the landscape of venture creation. This research contributes to the theoretical literature and sheds light to bring clarity to the particular role of informal institutional factors generally, social networking, family support and fear of failure constraints in enhancing venture creation. It's crucial to evolve women entrepreneurship support programs by government. These programs necessarily address the unique challenges being faced by women when handling the informal institutions. Raising awareness and stimulating societal norms and stereotypes that curtail women’s economic participation is decisive. Launching campaigns to mold societal perceptions can aid break down gender-based obstructions and promote a more comprehensive entrepreneurial setting.
The Role of Genes and Genetic Variation in Human Tuberculosis Susceptibility: A Population Perspective
Authors: Hasan Syed Ikramul
Published: March 2024

Tuberculosis (TB) is a serious infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) bacteria that affected many people around the world. However, not everyone who was exposed to Mtb got sick, which implied that some genetic factors influenced how people responded to TB infection. The question of whether TB was influenced more by genes or by the environment had been a topic of research for a long time. In this review paper, we examined the findings and difficulties of the studies on the genetic determinants of human TB susceptibility and how much genetic variation contributed to it, from twin and candidate gene studies to genome-wide association studies. This comprehensive review developed into the then-current state of knowledge and the intricate challenges inherent in researching the genetic underpinnings of human susceptibility to TB. The exploration of this genetic aspect spanned a spectrum, from classical twin studies and candidate gene investigations to more contemporary approaches like genome-wide association studies and genetic variation in noncoding RNA analysis.

Within this evolving landscape, we highlighted the genes such as TNF, NRAMP, IFN-γ, NOS2, IGR, VDR, TYK2, TLR, MBL, IGRM, ASAP1, AGMO, FOXP1, P2X7, SP110, and UBLCP1 and the mechanisms involved in the development of TB. Furthermore, we explored the role of genetic variation in regulating the immune response to MTB infection collectively with environmental factors. Hence, we also reviewed how environmental factors, such as diet, living conditions, and co-infections, affected the likelihood and severity of TB. Understanding the interplay of genetic and environmental factors allowed us to identify the people who were most vulnerable to TB and design better strategies to prevent and treat it.

Konstruksi Ilmu Dan Metodologi Pengetahuan Di Barat Serta Pengaruhnya Dalam Pendidikan Islam Di Indonesia
Authors: Hidayat Rahmat , Rijal Syamsul
Published: March 2024

Istilah ilmu disebut dengan knowledge yang berarti ilmu pengetahuan. Istilah knowledge juga mengandung pengertian sebagai suatu kepakaran dan juga kemahiran yang diperoleh manusia melalui pengalaman dan pendidikan. Kajian kritis terhadap epistemologi barat bukanlah sesuatu yang dianggap baru. Sudah banyak kajian-kajian baik berupa penelitian, jurnal penulisan buku yang berupaya mengoreksi, menganalisis dan menemukan beberapa kelemahan yang ada pada epistemologi barat ini. Kritik tersebut bukan saja muncul dari kalangan umat Islam yang mengacu pada nilai-nilai keislaman, tetapi bahkan juga kritik yang berasal dari kalangan intelektual barat sendiri. Pendidikan Islam adalah upaya mengembangkan, mendorong, serta mengajak manusia lebih maju dengan berlandaskan nilai-nilai yang tinggi dan kehidupan yang mulia, sehingga terbentuk pribadi yang lebih sempurna, baik yang berkaitan dengan akal, perasaan, maupun perbuatan. Epistemologi Islam berupa Al Quran dan Hadits, Akal dan Hati, dan Indra. Oleh karena itu epistemologi juga memiliki peran penting dalam dunia pendidikan sebagai alat untuk mewujudkan kebenaran ilmu pengetahuan dalam kehidupan dunia pendidikan manusia. Dengan demikian diharapkan pendidikan Islam bukanlah sekedar pengalihan pengetahuan keagamaan (transfer of religion knowledge), namun hendaknya mampu mengarahkan dan membentuk perilaku yang sesuai dengan tuntunan agama.

Inclusion Body Myositis in Children: Does it Exist?
Authors: Kurdi Maher , Alkhotani Alaa , K Bamaga Ahmed , Faizo Eyad , Almansouri Majid , Hakamy Sahar , Mirza Iman , Tamur Shadi
Published: March 2024

Context: Sporadic inclusion body myositis (sIBM) is a rare type of juvenile idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (JIIMs). It mainly affects skeletal muscles but can also affect the skin and other organs in the body. Sporadic inclusion body myositis prevalence in children under 18 years old is very rare. Objectives: This review provides an overview of the evidence of sIBM in children, discusses the possible clinical and pathological features, and explores the proposed pathogenesis. Methods: A literature review of over 44 articles in PubMed and other medical libraries, such as Google Scholar and Web of Science, was carried out using terms such as JIIM, IBM, Inflammatory Myopathies in Children, and Inherited IBM. Two documented reports for sIBM were found, and the rest included the disease pathogenesis, prevalence of inherited IBM, and other myopathies in children. Results: This review discussed the prevalence and incidence of JIIM, in particular sIBM in children. While IBM is typically sporadic, there have been rare cases where it is familial and inherited. Genetic susceptibility factors are believed to play a role in sIBM. Most patients with sIBM are over 50 years old and experience significant weakness in the quadriceps; however, patients with inherited IBM (h-IBM) typically present earlier in adulthood with a distinct pattern of weakness. Sporadic inclusion body myositis can be misdiagnosed as other forms of myopathies, such as juvenile dermatomyositis (JDM) or limb-girdle muscular dystrophy (LGMD), during the early stages of the disease. The exact causes of sIBM are still unknown; however, environmental factors, genetic predispositions, and immune dysregulation might contribute to the pathogenesis of the disease. Conclusions: Sporadic inclusion body myositis is a rare form of JIIMs. Its early diagnosis in children can be challenging due to the presence of other coexisting diseases. Discussions have revolved around potential environmental factors, such as viral infections, specific myositis-specific antibodies (MSAs), such as anti-Ro52, and possibly certain human leukocyte antigen (HLA) haplotypes. Given the rarity of reported cases of sIBM in children, it is important to encourage further studies to better understand the underdiagnosed instances of this condition.

Authors: Moosavi Kashani Sina , Zargar Balaye Jame Sanaz , Markazi-Moghaddam Nader , Omrani Nava Ali
Published: March 2024

Background: One of the most critical challenges in the emergency department (ED) is overcrowding, which creates negative consequences for patients and staff. Therefore, predicting the rate of patients entering the ED can help manage resources in this department effectively. Objectives: According to the time of data collection, we intended to predict the volume of patient admissions to the ED in epidemic conditions, such as COVID-19 and non-epidemic. In addition, we planned to compare the performance of the LSTM and CNN models. Methods: The collected data consists of three main categories. The first category pertains to air pollutants, provided by the Tehran air quality control organization. The second type relates to data from the Iran Meteorological Organization, and the third category includes the number of patients admitted to the ED of a hospital in Tehran. We also incorporated binary indicators for epidemic and non-epidemic conditions in the dataset. The data collection period spans from February 2018 to March 2022. We employed the Dickey-Fuller test to assess the stationarity of the data. After preprocessing, we independently developed long short-term memory (LSTM) neural network and convolutional neural network (CNN) models, considering various time windows of previous days. Keras and Tensorflow libraries in Python, along with the Google Colab environment, were utilized to execute the models. Results: The LSTM model exhibited the lowest root mean square error (RMSE) and mean absolute error (MAE) with a time window of the last seven days, while the CNN model outperformed the LSTM model with a time window of the previous 13 days. Additionally, the CNN model required less execution time than the LSTM model. Conclusions: In conclusion, deep learning algorithms prove suitable for analyzing multivariate time series data. The CNN model demonstrated the lowest prediction error.

The ornamental koi fish or nishikigoi is one of the ornamental fish that is in great demand because of its beautiful body shape and color, and is believed to bring profits by koi lovers in Indonesia. The ornamental koi fish commodity has succeeded in improving the community's economy and making it an alternative source of income besides rice. Farmers and koi cultivators in the area are formed in farming groups so that their production results are well organized even though the cultivation method used so far is still traditional. There are several difficulties experienced by farmers in analyzing the condition of fish in the koi fish ecosystem, scheduling feeding, and proper maintenance methods according to the type of koi fish. In an effort to increase the effectiveness of feed management, the "AQUA HATCH" application is proposed as a solution that can optimize the analysis of environmental conditions for Koi fish cultivation and develop appropriate feeding schedules. Through this technology, it is hoped that it can increase productivity, reduce the risk of disease, and minimize feed waste. The Koi fish farming environment is very dynamic, and factors such as water temperature, water quality, and meteorological conditions can influence the growth performance of the fish. By implementing the "AQUA HATCH" application, monitoring of these conditions can be done in real-time, enabling more timely decision making. In addition, this application will be equipped with an intelligent feed scheduling feature, considering aspects such as feed type, number of fish, and environmental conditions. Through this program, it is hoped that "WIB KOI Cultivation" can increase operational efficiency, optimizing resource use , and ultimately increase Koi fish production. Apart from that, this research is also directed at contributing to the development of technology in the field of fish cultivation, especially for business actors involved in cultivating Koi fish.
