Introduction. Meningococcal meningitis is a severe form of bacterial meningitis caused by the bacterium Neisseria meningitidis (N. meningitidis). It is a medical emergency and requires prompt treatment to prevent severe complications or death. Peripheral facial paralysis is one of the rare complications that can occur in this condition. Aim. This paper aimed to draw attention to the possibility of an unexpected complication in a child with meningococcal meningitis, which requires prompt clinical and paraclinical management. Materials and methods. We present the case of a 2-year and 8-month-old female patient who, in the context of meningococcal meningitis, develops peripheral facial paralysis, a very rare complication, especially in the pediatric population. Results. The patient initially presented with clinical and paraclinical signs of a respiratory viral infection. However, in a febrile context, she has two generalized tonic-clonic paroxysmal episodes, characterized by gaze fixation, each lasting 2-3 minutes, followed by spontaneous recovery. Laboratory tests revealed neutrophilia, anemia, and elevated inflammatory markers, while the cranio-cerebral CT scan showed no structural changes. Blood cultures were also collected, and treatment was initiated with third-generation cephalosporin antibiotics, along with supportive and symptomatic therapy. The following day, the patient exhibited signs of right-sided peripheral facial paralysis, and intravenous corticosteroid therapy was added to the treatment. Approximately 24 hours after admission, the blood culture tested positive for gram-negative cocci, suggesting meningococcal meningitis. A cerebral MRI was performed, revealing changes indicative of acute meningoencephalitis. The clinical and paraclinical course was slowly favorable, with a slight persistence of facial asymmetry and intermittent ataxic syndrome. Conclusions. Meningococcal meningitis remains a relevant pathology in the pediatric population, able of causing severe complications that can result in long-term disability for the patient. Prompt treatment is crucial when this condition is suspected.

Published: September 2024

This study aimed at exploring the effects of oral administration of a methanolic extract of Datura stramonium seed (MEDSS) on the testes of an adult male Wistar rats. Seventy-nine (79) male Wistar rats, weighing averagely 210±10 g, were randomly selected into seven groups of seven rats each, while the remaining thirty rats were used for the acute toxicity study. Group A served as control, while B, C, D, E, F, and G served as treatment groups. Groups B and E, C and F, D, and G received 50, 100, and 200 mg/kg body weight of MEDSS, respectively, for 56 days, while treatment was withdrawn from groups E, F, and G for 28 days after the initial treatment of 56 days. We weighed the rats weekly during the experimental period and sacrificed them at the end of each experimental period. Results of oxidative stress marker revealed that Malondialdehyde concentration was significantly (P< 0.05) elevated in a dose dependent manner in groups B, C and D compared to the control (A) and was restored significantly (P< 0.05) in the recovery groups (E, F and G) compared to groups B, C and D, respectively. Furthermore, SOD and GPx activities were significantly (P< 0.05) reduced in a dose dependent manner in Groups B, C and D compared to the control and were restored significantly (P< 0.05) in the recovery groups (E, F and G) when compared to Groups B, C and D respectively. Histological studies revealed dose dependent distorted histo-architecture of the testes in groups B, C, and D compared to the normal architecture in control group (A) and was restored to near normal in recovery groups (E, F and G) compared to groups B, C and D respectively. Results obtained showed that the LD50 of MEDSS was 500 mg/kg body weight which was what guided the doses administered to the rats. There was significant increase in the body weight (P< 0.05) in all the treatment groups B, C, D, E, F and G compared to control. Relative testicular weight in groups C and D showed significant reduction (P< 0.05) compared to control. MEDSS thus exhibited a reversible anti-fertility effect on male oxidative stress parameters. The observed distortion of the histo-architecture of testes was not reversible at doses lesser than 100 mg/kg body weight as reversibility increased with increasing dosages as seen in this study.

On the Value of High Precision Radial Velocity Observations and Astrometric Orbits for Binary Stars Hosting Exoplanets
Authors: Howell Steve B.
Published: September 2024

Observations have concluded that exoplanet hosting binary stars appear to have wider mean separations than a definitive sample of “field binaries” as well as an apparent deficit of very close pairs. Many exoplanets orbit near their host stars equatorial plane, especially for close-in, small planets. Precision radial velocities of exoplanets in close binary stars are sparse but badly needed in order to provide statistical samples revealing the host stars spin axis and determinations of the masses and orbital planes of their planets. Astrometric orbits of the stars can provide precise binary orbital elements. In the quest for occurrence rates, the detection of planets is biased against transit recognition of small planets in binary systems. Together the measurements of binary host stars and their planets are required to yield robust tests of planet formation, stability, and evolution mechanisms as well as provide correct small planet occurrence rates.

Authors: DeVane-Prugh Cooper , Michaud Carmen , Tayar Jamie , Stevens Daniel J. , Beaton Rachael , Teske Johanna , van Saders Jennifer
Published: September 2024

The introduction of TESS’s 20 s cadence mode has given us the opportunity to examine the variation of stellar flux on shorter timescales than ever before. While we find no previously undetected variability at these timescales, we find oscillations outside of the published instability strip in TIC 349902873. We also quantify the stellar variability on specific timescales using the combined differential photometric precision (CDPP). We developed a light-curve creation pipeline for 57 bright stars in TESS’ SCVZ across the HR diagram with extant spectra. From the light curves, we reproduced the scaling previously seen between CDPP and magnitude at all timescales in our data set. We also find a potential correlation between CDPP on the shortest timescales and surface gravity, which may be related to convection and oscillations and impact the relative detectability of exoplanet features.

Published: September 2024

IX Del is a variable star that was classified as uncertain E/SD at the Variable Star Index. The SSV-UAI-GRAV (Unione Astrofili Italiani, Variable Star Section) suggested a campaign to observe the star in order to understand its true nature. The Štefánik and Ďáblice observatories in Prague also collaborated in the observing campaign of the Italian section. From 2024 August to 2024 September, 10 observing sessions were obtained with terrestrial telescopes and V-band CCDs. From the analysis of the data thus obtained, combined with the Zwicky Transient Facility data, the star IX Del has been reclassified as an RRab-type variable with a pulsation period of 0.540914 day and a range of 1.36 mag g. The Blazhko effect from the result of this work is evident.
New observations on rare and threatened saproxylic hoverflies in North-Western Italy with ecological notes
Authors: Maritano Umberto , Bianco Lorenzo , Torta Samuele
Published: September 2024

The knowledge on the distribution of saproxylic hoverflies in the Piedmont region has always been incomplete, despite the large wooded areas present in the territory. We know of a few scattered specimens collected in the 19th century, often with a generic or incomplete locality on the label such as “surrounding Turin” or “Alps”. The recent publication of the first European Red List on hoverflies highlights some threatened species including some saproxylics. To fill this knowledge gap we report here unpublished data and establish new ecological note on threatened or nationally scarce saproxylic species actually present in the region.

In this study, we present new findings concerning rare saproxylic hoverflies. These include the rediscovery of Hammerschmidtia ferruginea (Fallen), 1817, marking its first recorded occurrence in the Italian fauna since the middle of 19th century. Additionally, we report novel observations of the "Chimera fly" Doros destillatorius Mik, 1885, along with further observations on endangered or vulnerable species such as Callicera spp. and Brachypalpus chrysites Egger 1859. Moreover, we document the rediscovery of Criorhina pachymera Egger, 1858, within the Piedmont region, and the first record of Brachyopa grunewaldensis Kassebeer, 2000, within Italy. Comprehensive data detailing these observations are provided herein.
Analyzing Chebyshev polynomial-based geometric circulant matrices
Authors: Pucanović Zoran , Pešović Marko
Published: September 2024

This paper explores geometric circulant matrices whose entries are Chebyshev polynomials of the first or second kind. Motivated by our previous research on $ r- $circulant matrices and Chebyshev polynomials, we focus on calculating the Frobenius norm and deriving estimates for the spectral norm bounds of these matrices. Our analysis reveals that this approach yields notably improved results compared to previous methods. To validate the practical significance of our research, we apply it to existing studies on geometric circulant matrices involving the generalized $ k- $Horadam numbers. The obtained results confirm the effectiveness and utility of our proposed approach.

Authors: Lu Chunxiao , Ali Zeeshan , Liu Peide
Published: September 2024

Artificial neural networks (ANNs) are the collection of computational techniques or models encouraged by the shape and purpose of natural or organic neural networks. Furthermore, a cubic intuitionistic fuzzy (CIF) set is the modified or extended form of a Fuzzy set (FS). Our goal was to address or compute the model of Aczel-Alsina operational laws under the consideration of the CIF set as well as Aczel-Alsina t-norm (AATN) and Aczel-Alsina t-conorm (AATCN), where the model of Algebraic norms and Drastic norms were the special parts of the Aczel-Alsina norms. Further, using the above invented operational laws, we aimed to develop the model of Aczel-Alsina average/geometric aggregation operators, called CIF Aczel-Alsina weighted averaging (CIFAAWA), CIF Aczel-Alsina ordered weighted averaging (CIFAAOWA), CIF Aczel-Alsina hybrid averaging (CIFAAHA), CIF Aczel-Alsina weighted geometric (CIFAAWG), CIF Aczel-Alsina ordered weighted geometric (CIFAAOWG), and CIF Aczel-Alsina hybrid geometric (CIFAAHG) operators with some well-known and desirable properties. Moreover, a procedure decision-making technique was presented for finding the best type of artificial neural networks with the help of multi-attribute decision-making (MADM) problems based on CIF aggregation information. Finally, we determined a numerical example for showing the rationality and advantages of the developed method by comparing their ranking values with the ranking values of many prevailing tools.

Published: September 2024

Let $ G $ be a directed graph with $ \mathrm{o}\mathrm{r}\mathrm{d}\mathrm{e}\mathrm{r}\; n. $ The adjacency matrix of the directed graph $ G $ is a matrix $ A = \left[{a}_{ij}\right] $ of order $ n\times n, $ such that for $ i\ne j $, if there is an arc from $ i $ to $ j, $ then $ {a}_{ij} = 1 $, otherwise $ {a}_{ij} = 0 $. Matrix $ B = J-A $ is called the antiadjacency matrix of the directed graph $ G, $ where $ J $ is the matrix of order $ n\times n $ with all of those entries are one. In this paper, we provided several properties of the adjacency matrices of directed graphs, such as a determinant of a directed graphs, the characteristic polynomial of acyclic directed graphs, and regular directed graphs. Moreover, we discuss antiadjacency energy of acyclic directed graphs and give some examples of antiadjacency energy for several families of graphs.

Optical fractals and Hump soliton structures in integrable Kuralay-Ⅱ system
Authors: Alshehry Azzh Saad , Mukhtar Safyan , Mahnashi Ali M.
Published: September 2024

The integrable Kuralay-Ⅱ system (K-IIS) plays a significant role in discovering unique complex nonlinear wave phenomena that are particularly useful in optics. This system enhances our understanding of the intricate dynamics involved in wave interactions, solitons, and nonlinear effects in optical phenomena. Using the Riccati modified extended simple equation method (RMESEM), the primary objective of this research project was to analytically find and analyze a wide range of new soliton solutions, particularly fractal soliton solutions, in trigonometric, exponential, rational, hyperbolic, and rational-hyperbolic expressions for K-IIS. Some of these solutions displayed a combination of contour, two-dimensional, and three-dimensional visualizations. This clearly demonstrates that the generated solitons solutions are fractals due to the instability produced by periodic-axial perturbation in complex solutions. In contrast, the genuine solutions, within the framework of K-IIS, take the form of hump solitons. This work demonstrates the adaptability of the K-IIS for studying intricate nonlinear phenomena in a wide range of scientific and practical disciplines. The results of this work will eventually significantly influence our comprehension and analysis of nonlinear wave dynamics in related physical systems.

Published: September 2024

The commodification of folklore through tourism in India poses unique intellectual property challenges. This chapter explores strategies for sustainable cultural heritage management that respect both the economic and cultural value of these traditions. It contends that while tourism can drive economic growth and foster cultural exchange, it risks misappropriating and decontextualising folklore if not managed with consideration for indigenous intellectual property rights To address this, the chapter advocates for the development of tailored IPR guidelines to safeguard the interests of local communities that are the custodians of folklore. The chapter proposes a balanced approach that aligns the economic incentives of tourism with the ethical preservation of folklore, ensuring that cultural expressions are not only maintained but also respected and understood, thereby contributing to the sustainable management of India's rich traditions.

Published: September 2024

This research explores the use of neural networks in educational activities. The authors highlight the advantages and provide examples from universities and schools, demonstrating the wide range of applications for neural networks in student learning. Additionally, they discuss the risks associated with AI integration, such as the potential loss of essential thinking and activity skills. An empirical study involving students and teachers from several Russian universities revealed that one-third of respondents are familiar with neural networks and use them for tasks like text translation, literature selection, and scientific writing. About half of the respondents in each group believe neural networks offer more benefits than harm. Both groups note risks, including the loss of analytical thinking, superficial learning, and diminished independent work and communication skills. The findings suggest the need for adjustments in professional training content for students and postgraduate education for university teachers.
