Published: June 2024

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients undergoing continuous hemodialysis (HD) experience decreased daily physical activity, lower tolerance to exercise and poorer health-related quality of life. Thus, HD patients need interventions that focus on their physical and psychological characteristics to improve their quality of life. This study aims to discuss the effectiveness of intradialytic exercise, cognitive behavior therapy and deep breath relaxation in improving the quality of life of hemodialysis patients. The study used a systematic literature review design to identify articles on intradialytic exercise, cognitive behavior therapy and deep breath relaxation from 2019-2023 was obtained from PubMed, ScienceDirect and Google Scholar. Seven studies found that intradialytic exercise enhances CKD patients' quality of life during hemodialysis. Four studies noted cognitive behavioral therapy's positive impact on physiological aspects, enhancing patients’ well-being. Additionally, six studies observed deep breath relaxation's beneficial effects on physiological parameters, ultimately enhancing patients' quality of life during hemodialysis. Intradialytic exercise, cognitive behavior therapy and deep breath relaxation are effective in improving the quality of life of hemodialysis patients. Furthermore, these three interventions helped accelerate the medical approach to chronic kidney disease.

“Pharmacy for the pharmacist” or for the patient? On different trajectories of regulation on pharmacy markets across the CEE region
Authors: Szyszkowska Emilia
Published: June 2024

The landscape of the pharmacy market across the Central Eastern Europe (CEE) region has changed significantly in the past few years. Some countries have decided to liberalize their regulations regarding the shape and size of the pharmacy market (such as Romania and Slovakia), while others have decided to seriously tighten the restrictions and introduce quantitative, ownership, demographic or geographical restrictions according to the “pharmacy for the pharmacist” rule (Poland, Hungary and the Baltic states). The paper presents different models of regulation that shape the pharmacy market across selected countries of the region. Based on desk research and a qualitative survey among representatives of pharmacy chains in the countries in question, the article also explores the issue of the impact of regulations restricting the development of the pharmacy market on the development of new pro-patient pharmacy services. Findings indicate that despite the COVID-19 pandemic having had a significant impact on new pharmacy services development almost everywhere, their inclusion into healthcare systems is easier and wider in countries with less restrictive market regulations.

Authors: Medina Aguerrebere Pablo , Medina Eva , Gonzalez Pacanowski Toni
Published: June 2024

Introduction: Hospitals implement artificial intelligence, big data, and telehealth to accelerate digital transformation and improve quality standards. However, their corporate communication strategies remain very conservative (brochures, magazines, websites) and inconsistent with their ambitious organizational goals. Objective: This literature review-based paper analyzes how hospitals should use technology to revamp their online communication strategies and build more meaningful brands. Methodology: To do that, we conducted a literature review on digital hospitals, their branding strategies, and their stakeholders’ humanistic needs. Based on that, we proposed an online communication model to help hospitals build credible brands. Conclusion: We concluded that these organizations should focus their communication efforts on sharing credible content that describes how their medical initiatives improve society; they should assist their stakeholders in enhancing their global understanding of healthcare; and they should help the Digital Communication Unit lead an intellectual reflection about how to develop a smart hospital from a technology and humanistic perspective.

En el contexto de los riesgos generados por la creciente aplicación de las neurotecnologías en el cerebro humano, se destaca la aparición de un nuevo derecho conocido como la libertad cognitiva, que se constituye como la libertad de las personas a tomar sus propias decisiones sin la interferencia de las neurotecnologías en su cerebro. El surgir de este nuevo derecho ha traído consigo profundas reflexiones éticas y jurídicas. En ese marco, desde un enfoque de derechos humanos, existen diversos argumentos que reconocen, o no, la factibilidad de reconocer a este nuevo derecho en la categoría de un derecho humano y/o fundamental.
Effects of Silk Amino Acids on Hair
Authors: You Se-eun , Kim Ok-yeoun
Published: June 2024

Purpose: To investigate how silk amino acids affect the hair by applying them to bleached hair.Methods: A silk amino acid formulation was prepared by adding 0, 3, 6, and 9 g of silk amino acid content. The prepared formulation was applied to bleached hair. To determine the change in hair brightness, the L* value was measured using a colorimeter. Additionally, the hair’s tensile strength, absorbance using methylene blue, and gloss were measured to determine whether amino acids affect bleached hair. Then we performed a comparison of data between the sample hair with the formulation agent containing silk amino acid and damaged hair.Results: Regarding brightness, the L* value for each sample increased as compared with that of damaged hair. Additionally, the brightness increased as the silk amino acid content increased. Moreover, the tensile strength of all samples with perm-base and silk amino acid added increased as compared with the damaged hair. The tensile strength also increased as the silk amino acid content increased. The absorbance of all samples with perm-base and silk amino acid added decreased as compared with that of damaged hair, and as the silk amino acid content increased, the absorbance also decreased. Regarding gloss, the gloss of the samples with perm-base decreased as compared with that of damaged hair. However, as the silk amino acid content increased, the gloss also increased.Conclusion: There were differences in brightness, absorbance, and gloss between damaged hair and bleached hair with silk amino acid, suggesting that silk amino acids have an effect on damaged hair. In the future, studies investigating on whether various natural ingredients affect damaged hair are warranted.
A PROPOSED CYCLE MODEL FOR SPATIAL SOLIDARITY AND ITS UNFILLABLE VOID
Authors: Dündar Abdullah Yasin , Durmuş Öztürk Serap
Published: June 2024

The categorization of buildings based on their form or function—in other words, architectural
typology—could be defined as a literal way to comprehend the spaces where humans
live as if in a cohesive progression. Despite the mainstream tendency to use canonical categories
that account for every architectural feature, one of the most significant aspects of
space antagonizes every fixed definition imposed upon it: the void of space that cannot be
permanently filled by humans or reduced by mottos or concepts. Suggesting that the abyss
of space, which can be seen more clearly in the broader period, necessitates temporal acts of
solidarity, this paper focuses on the evoltions of symbiotic relationships among societal objects
that play dramatically important roles in the appropriation and sustainability of built
environments. Employing logical argumentation as its primary methodology, it leverages
models and arguments from seemingly irrelevant disciplines such as literature, philosophy,
and architecture. The proposed spatial cycle model, developed to illustrate bifurcations,
obstructions, and several life cycles of a space, highlights the need for a temporal symbiotic
model.
TRANSITIONAL AREAS OF DIGITAL GAME ART
Authors: Cengiz Burcu Nur , Ateşli Murat
Published: June 2024

Digital games, which constitute a part of new media studies, offer different reality experiences
and new expressive environments to a player with multimodal interactions and hybrid
reality practices offered by game engines. The alternative environments offered by digital
game art create a kind of ‘transitional space’ in the participant’s experience process with
ambiguous structures such as reality-fiction. The phenomenon of the transitional area, discussed
by Donald W. Winnicott, is the cultural manoeuvring space in which the subject
experiences both internal and external reality while constructing the initial fiction of the
self, and is closely related to Jean Baudrillard’s concept of simulation in which fiction and
reality are mixed. In contemporary art, where the artistic image becomes a virtual reality,
phantasmagoria, in which meaning and reality are reconstructed and staged in new media
works referencing digital game practices, takes place in the transitional areas that Winnicott
sees as a dynamic and experiential playground. This research focuses on digital game
art works of different artists such as Olafur Eliasson, Hesam Jalili, Theo Triantafyllidis, Ian
Cheng, and Joon Yong Moon, who create a transitional space in their work with practices
such as ‘gamification of space’ and ‘counter gaming’.
Predictive value of m6A regulators in prognosis and immunotherapy response of clear cell renal cell carcinoma: a bioinformatics and radiomics analysis
Authors: Chen Wanqi , Lin Tuanyu , Wang Zhenshan , Zeng Liting , Lin Haitao , Yang Guisheng , Huang Weipeng
Published: June 2024

Aim: This study aimed to develop an m6A-related gene signature for predicting the prognosis of clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) patients and explore its value in predicting the immunotherapy response.

Methods: In total, 530 ccRCC patients with gene expression data in the TCGA cohort were included and classified into the training (n = 371) and validation (n = 159) sets. Differential expression analyses of 23 m6A regulators between survivors and non-survivors were performed. Subsequently, an m6A-related gene signature was developed via LASSO Cox regression. All patients were categorized into two groups of m6A subtypes, i.e., low or high m6A score group. The Kaplan-Meier survival curves and Tumor Immune Dysfunction and Exclusion (TIDE) scores of the two m6A subtype groups were compared to measure the gene signature’s predictive value in prognosis and potential immunotherapy response, respectively.

Results : Eighteen m6A regulators were significantly differentially expressed between the survivors and non-survivors, and were also related to overall survival (OS). A gene signature containing five selected m6A methylation regulators (KIAA1429 , METTL14 , IGF2BP2 , IGF2BP3 , and SRSF2 ) was developed and showed favorable discrimination in the training (C-index 0.708) and validation (C-index 0.689) sets. Patients with low m6A scores had significantly better OS and lower TIDE scores than those with high m6A scores. Moreover, a robust MRI-based radiomic signature was developed to noninvasively predict the m6A subtype for each patient.

Conclusion : We demonstrated the prognostic value of five m6A regulators and constructed a gene signature for prognosis and immunotherapy response prediction among ccRCC patients. In addition, a radiomic signature was developed for noninvasive prediction of the m6A subtype. These findings may promote precision medicine and provide novel insights into the regulation of tumor immune microenvironment.
Effect of protein modification in synbiotic infant formula on probiotic metabolic activity and bacterial composition in an infant gut-model
Authors: Klaassens Eline Suzanne , Baak Mirna Lilian , Mekkes Nienke Jacobine , Bongoni Radhika , Schaubeck Monika
Published: June 2024

Aim: Microbial colonization of the neonatal gut is pivotal in priming the infant’s immune system. Human milk (HM) is the best nutrition for infants and supports the development of the microbiota due to prebiotic compounds and probiotic microorganisms. When exclusive breastfeeding is not possible, infant formula (IF) with probiotics is a strategy to support the infant’s microbiome development. However, knowledge about the effects of the infant gut microbiota and different compounds in IF on individual probiotic strains is limited, as strain-level detection in a complex ecosystem is challenging. The aim of the present study was to show the effects of IF with different protein forms on the metabolic activity of two probiotic strains isolated from HM in a complex ecosystem.

Methods: By using an ex-vivo infant gut model containing infant donor-microbiota, the effects of IF with either intact or extensively hydrolyzed protein on the metabolic activity of the donor microbiota, as well as two probiotic strains [Limosilactobacillus fermentum (L. fermentum ) CECT 5716 (Lf) and Bifidobacterium breve (B. breve ) DSM 32583 (Bb)], were analyzed. A new bioinformatic pipeline combined with a specific infant microbiome database was used to explore shotgun metagenome datasets (1200 Megabases) for taxonomic identification and strain-level tracking.

Results: Both protein forms (i.e., intact or extensively hydrolyzed protein) in IF supported infant gut microbial metabolic activity equally, as evidenced by similar levels of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs). Interestingly, gut microbial metabolic activity was found to be differently activated in a strain-dependent manner. Taxonomic profiling of the microbiome at the strain level enabled monitoring of the prevalence and abundance of both probiotic strains, even in a complex ecosystem.

Conclusion: Food matrix and host microbiota interactions should be considered when evaluating strain-specific probiotic effects in the future.

Enhancing Students' Learning Outcomes and Science Process Skills through STEM Project-Based Learning on Global Warming Topics
Authors: Hafitri Mona Lisa , Efwinda Shelly
Published: June 2024

Global warming is a major concern, and tackling it via education is crucial. The purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of combining the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) approach with the Project-based Learning (PjBL) model on students' learning outcomes and science process skills in global warming topics. The study, which used a one-group pretest-posttest design, collected data from 33 grade XI students via essay questions and observation sheets to assess learning outcomes and science process skills. Critical indicators of science process abilities were observing, classifying, interpreting, predicting, applying concepts, communicating, and forming conclusions. Students worked on a STEM-based project to build a flood-resistant house over the course of five meetings (including the pretest and post-test). The findings revealed considerable improvements: learning outcomes increased by 0.6 (medium category), while science process skills improved by 0.7 (high category). Observations revealed that pupils' scientific process skills were excellent. The Wilcoxon test revealed a significant difference between students' learning outcomes and science process abilities before and after the intervention, with a Sig (2-tailed) value of 0.000. The study indicated that combining the STEM method with the PjBL model improves students' learning outcomes and scientific process abilities. However, the small sample size implies that the results may not be generalizable. The consequence is that integrating the STEM method and the PjBL model provides an innovative option in physics education, improving learning outcomes and scientific process skills.

The research method used is a qualitative method with descriptive analysis. The research data is in the form of information about the theme, plot and channeling, character and characterization, setting, and language style in the short story. Data collection techniques are done by reading techniques and literature research. The results of the analysis in the short story "Buaian Rahim Patriarki" found masculinity in male characters, namely high male ego and male power in the family. Likewise, patriarchy was also found, namely the inequality of roles and positions between women and men. The findings show that patriarchy and masculinity are used as representations of the characters' views in the short story.
Diffusion of Linguistic Functions in the Synonymy of "Demikian" and "Begitu" in 160-Year Literary Work
Authors: Nurina Azyyati  , Dwi Linda Kusuma  , Nurrahma Restia Fatkhiyati
Published: June 2024

This study explores the language change that occurred in two Indonesian demonstrative words, “demikian” and “begitu”, which are synonyms. As synonyms, both have similar linguistic functions. This study examines the possibility of language change influenced by synonymy through the diffusion of their linguistic functions. The literature works used in this study are Hikayat Abdullah (1842), Azab dan Sengsara (1920), and Cantik Itu Luka (2002), covering a period of 160 years. The words ‘demikian’ and ‘begitu’ were collected by using AntConc and were classified based on the level of change that occurred. The diffusion of their linguistic functions is then supported by quantitative data in the form of frequency. The analysis found that the changes in the word ‘demikian’ are influenced by its synonym: the word ‘begitu’. Consequently, in the 21st century, the word ‘demikian’ has become similar to its synonym. This study may be useful to portray how language change occurs in synonyms as a specific linguistic category. It can also point out the direction of language change which can be useful for further discussion on language policy.

Background: Visceral fat and inflammatory conditions are risk factors in patients undergoing colorectal cancer (CRC) surgery. This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of early peripheral parenteral nutrition (PPN) in patients with an elevated inflammatory state and/or an increase in their visceral fat on the anastomotic leak of patients undergoing CRC surgery within an enhanced recovery program.
Methods: A clinical trial was performed in patients undergoing CRC surgery between October 2016 and September 2019. Patients were randomized into two groups: PPN with periOlimel N4-E and conventional fluid therapy (FT). With C-reactive protein (CRP) values prior to surgery and visceral fat analysis of preoperative computer tomography, patients were stratified according to their risk of anastomotic leakage (AL). AL rates was obtained in each risk group differentiating whether they had received PPN or FT.
Results: A total of 116 patients were analyzed; 63 received PPN and 53 FT. Patients with high visceral fat index (VFI) had higher mean postoperative CRP values, especially on the 2nd postoperative day (p<0.05).
CRP values prior to surgery ≥5 mg/L and high VFI were associated with an AL rate of 28% (30% FT group vs. 23.5% PPN group): OR (95% CI) of 4.8 (p=0.003), and CRP values ≥10.2 mg/L showed an AL rate of 25.7% (30.8% FT group vs. 22.7% PPN group): OR (95% CI) of 6.6 (p= 0.001).
Conclusions: Analysis of visceral fat and the inflammatory state of patients with CRC allows us to evaluate the risk of anastomotic leakage, and PPN should be considered to improve AL rates.

Objective :Mouth washing involves soaking the mouth's mucosa, gums, and teeth in a solution. Its objectives include treating certain oral diseases and enhancing oral hygiene. Examining the impact of salt water mouthwashes on oral flora in vitro is the goal of this study.
Methodology : in the Bacteriology Division of the Central Laboratory of Tishreen university Hospital, we carried out a cross-over clinical trial. From January 2021to July 2022, this study has a 6-month duration. We performed convenience sampling throughout this work.
In our article, the same mouthwash was given to every participant at the same time, and the results were tracked throughout time (H1–H5). In order to prevent carry-over effects, a wash-out time of 3 days was observed between the interventions (mouthwashes with various saline solutions: 0.9%; 2%; 5.8% and 23%). To identify the bacterial species impacted by the mouthwashes, gram staining was done before and seven hours after the mouthwashes . We selected 10 subjects, from whom we collected 240 samples of saliva. There was a 1:1 sex ratio.
Results :Our findings demonstrated that all solutions reduced the oral flora 2 minutes after rinsing (e.g., 5.8% saline reduced the original flora by half). The handmade saline (2%) exhibited an antibacterial impact on the oral flora that lasted for 3 hours, but the action of the 0.9% saline was only present for this period. However, only the 5.8% and 23% concentrations significantly reduced the oral flora as the sampling process went on. 5.8% salt content exhibited a 5-hour bactericidal effect, while 23% salt concentration had a 7-hour effect. We also observed a more pronounced action on gram positive bacteria.
Conclusion: the 5.8% saline is more well-tolerated by the subjects and has long-lasting efficacy. Since the prepared saline in home has an antibacterial effect that lasts for three hours, it can be recommended for short-term purposes. Since the 23% saline has a strong, unpleasant taste, it should be avoided.

Background: Numerous studies have indicated a correlation between the gut microbiota (GM) and acute pancreatitis (AP), yet the precise causal relationship between them remains ambiguous.
Methods: A two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) study was conducted utilizing aggregated data from genome-wide association studies (GWASs) of 471 taxa (11 phyla, 19 orders, 24 orders, 62 families, 146 genera, and 209 species) and AP patients. Various methods, including inverse variance weighting (IVW), MR‒Egger, weighted medians, simple mode, and weighted mode, were employed to assess the causal association between the GM and AP. Sensitivity analyses were conducted utilizing Cochran's Q test, MR-Egger regression intercept analysis, and MR-PRESSO, followed by reverse MR analysis to evaluate the potential reverse causality between AP and GM.
Results: Three gut microbial taxa were found to have significant associations with acute pancreatitis (AP). The inverse variance weighted (IVW) results revealed that Coprobacillus (OR 1.19, 95% CI 1.01 to 1.40, p=0.035) and Holdemania sp900120005 (OR 1.18, 95% CI 1.02 to 1.35, p=0.023) were identified as risk factors for the development of AP, while Megamonas (OR: 0.87, 95% CI: 0.77 to 0.98, p=0.023) was found to be a protective factor against the occurrence of AP. A thorough sensitivity analysis confirmed the reliability of our findings. Reverse Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis did not indicate any causal relationship between AP and the gut microbiota (GM).
Conclusions: This study revealed a complex causal relationship between 3 GM taxa and AP, providing new evidence for the development of AP from a genetic perspective.

Published: June 2024

Study Design Retrospective cross-sectional survey of Korean patients with spinal cord injury (SCI) within 6 months post-injury. Objective To evaluate urodynamic parameters and identify unfavorable urodynamic findings in patients with neurogenic bladder due to spinal cord injury (SCI) during the acute to subacute stages of the disease based on the post-injury time interval. Setting National Rehabilitation Center, Seoul, Korea Methods Data from urodynamic tests performed on SCI patients within 6 months post-injury were collected. Based on the time interval from injury to testing, the recruited patients were divided into three groups: 0–90 days, 91–135 days, and 136–180 days. Based on these groups, urodynamic test parameters and incidence of unfavorable urodynamic findings (detrusor overactivity [DO], high detrusor pressure exceeding 40 cmH2O during the filling phase, low compliance of the bladder, underactive or acontractile bladder, and detrusor-sphincter dyssynergia [DSD]) were compared. Results Analysis of urodynamic study (UDS) findings in 191 patients with acute to subacute SCI, revealed that unfavorable urodynamic findings were observed within 3 months after injury in both complete and incomplete SCI. The UDS test results and incidence of unfavorable outcomes based on the interval between injury and examination showed no significant statistical differences over time. Conclusion The urodynamics of SCI patients suggest that unfavorable urodynamic results are common in the acute to subacute stages of SCI.

Seepage behavior is one of the critical factor in the operational safety of dams, and predicting dam seepage is the key content in dam monitoring and safety assessment research. The existing traditional dam seepage pressure prediction models have problems such as easy to fall into local optimum and limited predictive efficiency. The sparrow search algorithm(SSA) was improved as ISSA using both methods nonlinear Sine Cosine optimization algorithm and adaptive producer and scrounger ratio. We combined the Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory (BiLSTM) neural network model with ISSA to develop the ISSA-BiLSTM seepage pressure prediction model. And the critical feature factors were extracted based on LightGBM to construct the input layer for seepage pressure prediction. The results show that the ISSA-BiLSTM model's fitting outcomes are generally consistent with the observed changes in seepage pressure observations, achieving an R2 of 0.987. In comparison to SSA-BiLSTM and BiLSTM, the model exhibits a substantial reduction in errors, decreasing by approximately 20% and 30%, respectively. This model can provide technical support and insights for accurately predicting dam seepage, contributing to the advancement of this field.

Authors: Sökmen Tevhide , Bagcı Nuray , Tuncer Burcu Balos
Published: June 2024

Background
To examine the buccolingual inclination of maxillary posterior teeth, curve of Wilson, and transversal dimensions in palatally impacted maxillary canine patients, compared to controls by cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT).
Materials and Methods:
Pre-treatment images of 22 bilateral, 32 unilateral impacted maxillary canine patients and 30 controls were included. All patients had palatally impacted canines, with no posterior cross-bite. Data were reclassified in quadrants according to the presence of impaction, as the impaction quadrant (right and left quadrants of 22 bilateral impacted cases, and quadrants presenting impaction of 32 unilateral cases, n = 76), unaffected quadrant (quadrant without impaction in 32 unilateral cases, n = 32) and the control quadrant (right and left quadrants of 30 controls, n = 60) to evaluate the buccolingual inclination angle, transversal width, and arch perimeter. Additionally, comparisons were made regarding curve of Wilson and total arch perimeter among bilateral and unilateral impaction groups with the control group. Statistical analysis was performed by one-way ANOVA and Kruskal Wallis tests. Tukey or Dunn tests were used for comparisons between groups in pairs.
Results
No significant difference was found for the buccolingual inclination of maxillary posterior teeth and curve of Wilson among groups. The buccolingual inclination of canines in the impaction quadrant was significantly lower than the other quadrants (p < 0,001). Basal bone width at the level of second premolars, and alveolar width at both premolars were significantly narrower in the impaction quadrant than in the unaffected quadrant (p < 0,05). Dental arch width at the level of first premolar was significantly decreased in the impaction quadrant compared to other quadrants (p < 0,05). Arch perimeter was significantly reduced in the impaction quadrant than in the unaffected quadrant (p < 0,05).
Conclusion
The presence of bilateral or unilateral palatally impacted maxillary canines did not effect the buccolingual inclination of posterior teeth, and curve of Wilson. Transverse discrepancy was evident in the impaction quadrant even in the absence of posterior cross-bite. Quadrant analysis was particularly useful in evaluating asymmetry for basal bone and alveolar bone widths in the premolar region in patients with unilateral palatally impacted maxillary canine patients.
