Published: December 2023

Abstract: Warts are common noncancerous benign tumors caused by the Human Papilloma Virus. They can be treated using various methods, including cryotherapy and immunotherapy. However, the success rates of these treatment methods are not consistent and can vary from patient to patient. To address this issue, we have developed a reliable machine learning model that can accurately predict the success of immunotherapy and cryotherapy for individual patients based on their demographic and clinical characteristics. By utilizing a dataset of 180 patients who received either immunotherapy or cryotherapy for their warts, we employed a support vector machine classifier with a radial basis function kernel for the immunotherapy treatment method (Nugroho et al., 2018) . This model takes into account factors such as sex, age, time, number of warts, type, area, and response to treatment to make predictions about the likelihood of treatment success. Through this model, healthcare professionals can have a better understanding of which treatment method is more likely to be effective for a specific patient. The accuracy of our machine learning model for predicting the success of immunotherapy and cryotherapy for warts is expected to be high, as previous studies using similar datasets have reported classification accuracies of up to 90 (Rahman et al., 2020). Our model builds upon previous research in the field, such as the fuzzy logic rule-based method developed by Khozeimeh et al and the AdaBoost with classification and regression tree and random forest algorithms employed by Putra et al. Using our machine learning model, healthcare professionals can make more informed decisions about the treatment approach for individual patients with warts, increasing the likelihood of successful outcomes and improving overall patient care. In conclusion, our machine learning model offers a promising approach to predict the success of immunotherapy and cryotherapy treatments for warts.

ABSTRACT

Stunting in Indonesia is one of the health problems faced by infants and toddlers. Jambi Province itself has a chronic nutritional problem (stunting) which is of particular concern. Optimal breastfeeding is very important to prevent malnutrition in infants and toddlers. Important interventions in stunting prevention. Interventions on stunting are aimed at improving the nutritional status of infants and toddlers, preventing stunting, especially during the early stages of life. The reason for the low coverage of exclusive breastfeeding in the Pelabuhan Dagang Health Center is that public awareness in encouraging increased breastfeeding is still relatively low. For this reason, an activity was carried out to encourage an increase in exclusive breastfeeding outcomes, namely "Ceting Asik: Cegah Stunting Dengan Asi Eksklusif".

Diseño y validación de un instrumento para medir resiliencia en estudiantes universitarios mexicanos
Authors: Montoya-Avecías Jorge , Lerma-Talamantes Abel
Published: December 2023

Existen algunas escalas de resiliencia que tiene su origen en otras diseñadas en contextos diferentes a México, por lo que el recuperar la voz y definición del concepto resiliencia -capacidad para resistir, aprender y trascender una adversidad- desde nuestro contexto nacional de quienes usan regularmente la palabra, resulta conveniente y necesario. El objetivo de esta investigación fue validar psicométricamente la escala de Resiliencia ML (Montoya-Lerma) de 4 factores: resistir, significar, aprender y trascender; diseñada y confeccionada a través de redes semánticas naturales en la población mexicana. Participaron 274 voluntarios estudiantes y egresados de licenciaturas relacionadas con la salud y la educación que conocían el concepto de resiliencia y lo empleaban regularmente. El modelo de los tres verbos de la resiliencia (factores resistir, aprender y trascender) validado socialmente y, a través de la experiencia, tuvo su confrontación después del análisis estadístico (alfa 0.929), resultando un cuarto factor, el cual encuadra en el verbo significar, lo que enriquece el análisis del proceso resiliente y consolida a este instrumento como nuevo referente para medir este constructo.

Food, feed, and life on Plastic.
Authors: M Raghul
Published: December 2023

In recent years, advancements in food packaging have been developing
beyond the bars. Is this alarming? Consumers perceive packaged food as
more convenient and extravagant. It is a red signal; we need to be
vigilant with these plastic packages. Our lives have been surrounded by
plastic; do we take it for granted? The plastic packages still remain an
astonishing discovery by mankind, but also a threatening one. The
problems here to inculcate are those migrants from the plastics.
Regulatory agencies provide regulations on the usage of these migrants,
but why is it still a matter of discussion? Over time, research studies
peel back the layers and illuminate the detrimental effects of plastics.
But they are still in applications, and what more can we expect? The
current study provides insight into the plastic food packaging system
and the migrants, specifically Bisphenol A and Phthalates.
Peri-Tethyan water column deoxygenation and euxinia at the Paleocene Eocene Thermal Maximum
Authors: behrooz Leila , Naafs Bernhard David , Taylor Kyle William Robert , Monteiro Fanny Meline , Dickson Alexander , Pearson Ann , Pancost Richard David
Published: December 2023

The Paleocene–Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM) is associated with climatic
change and biological turnover. It shares features with the Oceanic
Anoxic Events (OAEs) of the Mesozoic, such as transient global warming
and biogeochemical perturbations. However, the PETM experienced a more
muted expansion of marine anoxia compared to the Mesozoic OAEs
(especially OAE 2), with benthic deoxygenation being geographically
restricted and limited evidence for photic zone euxinia. We explore the
extent and drivers of marine deoxygenation during the PETM using
biomarkers for water column euxinia and anoxia and data-constrained
biogeochemical climate model (cGENIE) simulations. These reveal that the
water column in the North-East Peri-Tethys became anoxic during the
PETM, with euxinic conditions reaching the photic zone. Our simulations
show that this developed due to a global increase in the ocean nutrient
inventory, similar to findings for OAE 2. The particularly strong
regional response in the NE Peri-Tethys appears to arise from a
combination of global forcing and regionally restricted circulation.
Unlike OAE 2, anoxia and PZE do not become widespread in our PETM
simulations, consistent with geochemical and biological indicators. This
globally muted response could result from a reduced oceanic phosphate
inventory prior to the PETM and/or a smaller increase during it relative
to the mid-Cretaceous ocean. Our observations suggest that similar
feedback mechanisms operated in response to disparate Cenozoic (PETM)
and Mesozoic (OAEs) transient global warming events, while also
highlighting that background conditions such as geography and nutrient
status are crucial in modulating the sensitivity of Earth’s system to
them.
The Brand Value of Earnings: An Event Study of Consumer Responses to Earnings Announcements
Authors: Kimbrough Michael D. , Paharia Neeru , Wang Xu , Wei Sijing
Published: December 2023

We provide evidence from the first short-window event study of consumers’ perceptual responses to earnings announcements using daily consumer perception data. We document a positive association between the change in consumers’ overall perceptions of a brand at the time of the earnings announcement and the earnings surprise—that is, a positive consumer earnings response coefficient (CERC). CERC is larger when there is greater traditional news or social media activity, indicating that news dissemination is an important channel for consumers to respond to earnings news. Moreover, CERC varies based on brand and consumer characteristics. Changes in consumer perceptions at the time of the earnings announcement are positively associated with changes in purchase consideration and intent and with changes in realized future sales growth. To maximize identification, we document a positive and statistically significant CERC in a controlled experiment. Our findings demonstrate the importance of earnings to an important stakeholder.

Operating Leverage and Stock Returns under Different Aggregate Funding Conditions
Authors: García-Feijóo Luis , Jensen Tyler K. , Koch Paul D.
Published: December 2023

We document time-varying interrelations between aggregate funding conditions and the impact of operating leverage (OL) on stock returns. OL represents a primitive source of risk, which helps explain the well established unconditional relation between OL and future returns. However, the outperformance of firms with high OL occurs exclusively during periods of unconstrained funding. Although high OL represents operational inflexibility, when the Fed eases funding constraints, improved capital availability mitigates this inflexibility. Consequently, investors bid up the prices of stocks with high OL when aggregate funding constraints are loosened to reflect their lower risk and greater expected performance in unconstrained periods.

Increased risk of aseptic loosening for posterior stabilized compared with posterior cruciate-retaining uncemented total knee replacements: a cohort study of 13,667 knees from the Dutch Arthroplasty Registry
Authors: Puijk Raymond , Sierevelt Inger N , Pijls Bart G C W , Spekenbrink-Spooren Anneke , Nolte Peter A
Published: December 2023

Background and purpose: While registry studies have suggested a higher risk of revision for posterior-stabilized (PS) compared with posterior cruciate-retaining (CR) total knee replacements (TKR) using cement, it is unknown whether this is also the case for uncemented TKR. We aimed to compare the revision rates of PS and CR designs in patients receiving primary uncemented TKR.Patients and methods: Data from the Dutch arthroplasty register (LROI) was analyzed, comprising 12,226 uncemented primary CR TKRs and 750 uncemented PS TKRs registered between 2007 and 2022. Competing risk and multivariable Cox regression analyses were used to compare revision rates, risks of revision, and reasons for revision between groups. Sensitivity analyses were performed to analyze the risk, concerning the 5 most commonly used implants and performing hospitals for each group.Results: Uncemented PS TKRs had higher 10-year revision rates for any reason and aseptic loosening (6.5%, 95% confidence interval [CI] 4.6–9.2 and 3.9%, CI 2.6–6.7) compared with uncemented CR TKRs (4.2%, CI 3.8–4.7 and 1.4%, CI 1.2–1.7). PS TKRs were 1.4 and 2.5 times more likely to be revised for any reason and aseptic loosening, respectively. These results remained consistent after adjustment for age, sex, BMI, previous surgeries, bearing mobility, and surface modification, with sensitivity analyses.Conclusion: We found that uncemented PS implants have a higher rate of revision than uncemented CR implants, mainly due to a higher risk of aseptic loosening.

Various translation errors are identified in the results produced by GT, limiting its functionality. Our present research had the objectives to: (1) identify errors produced in Indonesian-English GT translation and, based on the previous results, (2) explore strategies for optimizing Indonesian-English GT translation. This qualitative research, employing the Grounded Theory model, analyzed nine abstract documents (ca. 2100 words). There were 144 errors identified in the Indonesian-English GT translation of our documents, consisting of lexical errors (45%), grammatical errors (43.1%), and excessive wording (11.8%). Twelve strategies for modifying the Indonesian documents were proposed in order to assist GT producing better English documents. The strategies were grouped into Avoid, Maintain, and Enhance categories based on the nature of modification done to the documents. Detailed results are presented, followed by the discussion of how the proposed strategies might affect GT functionality and pedagogical practice.

Published: December 2023

Kawah Ijen merupakan salah satu destinasi wisata dengan tingkat kepadatan pengunjung paling tinggi diantara seluruh objek wisata di Kabupaten Bondowoso. Kendala yang paling sering dialami oleh wisata Kawah Ijen pada tahun 2017 - 2022 yaitu terkait jumlah kedatangan pengunjung yang tidak menentu dan peningkatan maupun penurunan yang signifikan di bulan tertentu. Pola seperti ini dinamakan pola data musiman dan tren. Metode Holt-Winters Multiplicative ini dianggap sangat tepat digunakan untuk peramalan dengan pola data musiman dan tren. Pengukuran tingkat kesalahan yang digunakan pada penelitian ini menggunakan metode MAPE. Hasil dari perhitungan nilai MAPE tanpa melampirkan data 2020 menghasilkan nilai MAPE yaitu sebesar 9 %, sedangkan hasil dari perhitungan MAPE dengan melampirkan data 2020 menghasilkan nilai MAPE yaitu sebesar 209 %. Hal ini menunjukkan bahwa terdapat dua perbandingan perhitungan MAPE dengan metode Holt-Winters Multiplicative. Dapat disimpulkan bahwa perhitungan metode HoltWinters Multiplicative tanpa melampirkan data 2020 memiliki MAPE dengan nilai 9 % dapat dikatakan sangat rendah karena memiliki rata-rata nilai MAPE dibawah 10%.

En el presente texto se retoman las reflexiones de un joven Antonio Gramsci en torno a la revolución soviética y otras experiencias consejistas entre 1917 y 1920, al calor de las grandes jornadas de protagonismos populares de la inmediata posguerra. En las mismas, se destaca la aguda mirada en torno a distintas problemáticas, principalmente en relación a las relaciones de la revolución con las temporalidades históricas y los sujetos de la emancipación. Elaboraciones que constituyen elementos indispensables para el pensamiento crítico —de entreguerras, pero también del actual— y en las que empiezan a delinearse algunos de los conceptos centrales que el político e intelectual italiano desarrollará finalmente en prisión.
Indisponibilidad monstruosa, paralización frenética: Hartmut Rosa frente a la crisis del Covid-19
Authors: Ballestrin Juan Bautista
Published: December 2023

Tras recuperar la manera en que Hartmut Rosa problematiza la crisis del Covid-19, el objetivo general del presente artículo es reconstruir dos conceptos fundamentales en la sociología del autor para evaluar sus alcances crítico-heurísticos respecto de aquella crisis. En la primera parte del escrito se reponen los elementos básicos de la teoría crítica de la “aceleración social”, enfatizando la lectura en el concepto de “paralización frenética”, el cual pone de manifiesto cierto comportamiento social observado durante la pandemia, en el que la “digitalización” juega un papel preponderante. En la segunda parte, en cambio, nos aproximamos a la teoría crítica de la “relación con el mundo”, dirigiendo nuestra atención a la categoría de “indisponibilidad monstruosa”; nuestra intención aquí es mostrar en qué medida el Covid-19 representa un “monstruo” de indisponibilidad y en qué sentido el mismo redunda en una “alienación radical”.

The development of polyethersulfone (PES) membranes to improve membrane performance can be done in various ways; one is by combining two types of additives (organic and inorganic) in one dope polymer solution. In this study, researchers analyzed the effect of combining polyethylene glycol hexadecyl ether (PEG-HE) as an organic additive and nanocarbon as an inorganic additive on the characteristics and performance of PES membranes. The membrane performance test includes analysis of pure water flux and rejection of synthetic fertilizer factory wastewater (Mg2+) with a concentration of 300 ppm. The membrane characterization was carried out by analyzing the morphology of the membrane structure using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), water contact angle (WCA), porosity, and membrane pore size. Ultrafiltration experiment showed that the modified PES membrane with PEG-HE and Nanocarbon had the highest pure water flux. The most significant rejection coefficient of 96.88% was found in an ultrafiltration experiment using pure PES membranes. The characteristic of other membranes will be described in detail in this article.

The Collector es una propuesta del grupo de investigación consolidado FIDEX adscrito al Centro de Investigación en Artes (CÍA) de la Universidad Miguel Hernández de Elche. Según la autora del marco conceptual del proyecto y miembro de este grupo, Johanna Caplliure, “A través de la idea de colección (la compilación de objetos que determinan una obsesión controlada y estructurada), el grupo de investigación FIDEX propone una exposición colectiva como tentativa para explorar la construcción identitaria de una coleccionista, así como su posible colección”. En este sentido, en el proyecto específico para Málaga se podrá ver un diálogo, comisariado por Blanca Montalvo (Universidad de Málaga), entre trabajos fotográficos, videográficos, fotomontajes, esculturas e instalaciones, que han sido desarrollados ad hoc por los diferentes miembro miembros de FIDEX: De Albacete, Lou et Syl (Lourdes Santamaría y Sylvia Lenaers), Imma Mengual, /javi moreno, O.R.G.I.A (Beatriz Higón, Carmen Muriana, Tatiana Sentamans), Daniel Tejero, David Vila y Ma José Zanón. La exposición estuvo abierta al público del 3 al 31 de octubre de 2019.

The Laelapid family of cosmopolitan mites includes both free-living predators and associated species to arthropods, mammals, or birds. A new species of laelapid mite, Dinogamasus pubescensae n. sp. Abo-Shnaf and Kamel associated with Xylocopa pubescens Spinola (Hymenoptera: Apidae), is described and illustrated. This is a third report of the genus Dinogamasus from Egypt. The new species can be distinguished from its congeners by the combination of the following characters: dorsal cheliceral seta present; hypertrichous idiosoma and opisthogaster; sternum without accessory setae, st2 longest, st4 present, endopodal and metapodal plates present, genital shield shorter than anal shield, anal shield rectangular. The genus diagnoses are discussed in terms of new notions. Modification of Lundqvist’s key (1999) is made to facilitate identification of D. pubescensae n. sp. Abo-Shnaf and Kamel from other species.
The effects of bracket removal on enamel
Authors: Heravi Farzin , Rashed Roozbeh , Raziee Leila
Published: December 2023

Background

Enamel cracks, which may develop during debonding orthodontic brackets, may jeopardise the integrity of the enamel and detract from the appearance of the teeth.

Aim

To compare the adhesive remnant scores (ARI), the number, lengths and directions of enamel cracks before bonding and after debonding metal orthodontic brackets with three different methods.

Methods

Metal brackets were bonded with a self-curing orthodontic adhesive to the buccal surfaces of 75 recently extracted upper and lower premolars. The teeth were randomly divided into three groups, and the brackets removed either with a sidecutter, a single-blade bracket remover or a two-blade bracket remover. The number, directions and lengths of the enamel cracks before bonding and after debonding were compared. The number of ‘pronounced’ cracks (i.e. cracks that could be identified with the naked eye) and the ARI scores in each group were also compared.

Results

After debonding, the number of enamel cracks and pronounced cracks, and the lengths of the enamel cracks increased in all groups (p < 0.001). There were no statistically significant differences between the groups. The ARI scores and the direction of propagation of the enamel cracks were not influenced by the debonding method used (p = 0.73).

Conclusions

Concerns about the enamel damage caused by the three methods of debonding justify caution. Despite widespread use of these methods, it would be sensible to search for methods that result in less enamel damage.
Validity, reliability and reproducibility of three methods used to measure tooth widths for Bolton analyses
Authors: Naidu Devan , Scott Justin , Ong Desmond , Ho Christopher T.C.
Published: December 2023

Background

Vernier calipers have traditionally been used as the ‘gold-standard’ for tooth width measurements. New digital methods may prove to be as valid, reliable and reproducible as caliper measurements.

Aims

To determine the validity, reliability and reproducibility of mesio-distal crown measurements made with calipers, using the DigiModel method and on digital photographs, and to determine the validity, reliability and reproducibility when the measurements are employed in Bolton tooth size analyses.

Methods

Twenty-five consecutive study models were used. The maximum mesio-distal crown widths of 12 teeth in each arch (first molar to first molar) were measured with digital calipers, using the DigiModel software (OrthoProof, Caulfield South, Victoria, Australia) and on standardised digital photographs of the models by eight examiners. One examiner measured all models three times using the three measurement methods, two examiners measured all models once using the three measurement methods and five examiners measured all models once using the calipers only. Validity for the widths of individual teeth, the mean tooth width and the Bolton ratios were assessed using a general linear model two-way analysis of variance and pair-wise comparisons between the two digital methods and the calipers. Reliability was assessed with Cronbach’s alpha and reproducibility with the intra-class correlation coefficient.

Results

There were statistically significant differences between the tooth widths measured with DigiModel and the calipers (p < 0.001) and with the calipers and digital photographs (p < 0.001). However these discrepancies were judged not to be clinically significant. The Cronbach’s alpha scores for all methods were classified as ‘excellent’. The intra-class correlation coefficient values exceeded 0.75 for the digital calipers, 0.79 for DigiModel and 0.54 for the digital photographs.

Conclusions

The validities of DigiModel and digital photographs for tooth width measurements and Bolton analyses are clinically acceptable. The reliability of both methods is also excellent. However, DigiModel software provided more accurate Bolton’s ratios and demonstrated greater reproducibility than the digital photographs.
Changes in soft tissue profile and electromyographic activity after activator treatment
Authors: Erdem Abdulvahit , Kilic Nihat , Eröz Barçin
Published: December 2023

Background

To date, few studies have correlated the changes in muscle activity and specific soft tissue variables in adolescents with malocclusions.

Objective

To determine associations between the soft tissue profile and electromyographic activities in temporalis, masseter and orbicularis oris muscles in children with Class II division 1 malocclusions treated with activators.

Methods

For this prospective study, 25 subjects with Class II division 1 malocclusions were randomly assigned to either a Treatment group (N = 15) or a Control group (N = 10). The mean skeletal ages of the subjects in the Treatment and Control groups were 11.3 ± 1.1 and 11.0 ± 1.3 years, respectively. The subjects in the Treatment group were treated with activators and the subjects in the Control group were untreated. Lateral cephalometric radiographs and EMG recordings of the anterior temporalis and masseter muscles during clenching, chewing and swallowing and the orbicularis oris muscle during whistling were obtained at the start of the study and 12 months later. Changes in the soft tissue profile were correlated with changes in the EMG activities in anterior temporalis, superficial masseter and orbicularis oris muscles.

Results

The upper lip to E line distance (UL-E) decreased more in the Treatment group than the Control group (p < 0.05) and the H angle decreased in the Treatment group, but increased in the Control group (p < 0.01). The EMG activities of temporalis and masseter muscles increased significantly in both groups. All between-group EMG differences were statistically significant with the exception of the activities in the temporalis and masseter muscles during swallowing. In the Treatment group, a significant positive correlation (r = .57) was found between the changes in UL-E and anterior temporalis activity during swallowing, and significant negative correlations were observed between the EMG activity of masseter muscle during swallowing and changes in LL-E (r = -.54), OLp-UL (r = -.55) and OLp-LL (r = -.67).

Conclusions

Activator therapy is accompanied by changes in the lips and temporalis and masseter activities during swallowing.
