Published: January 2025

This endeavor seeks to engineer a sophisticated real-time image and video processor, augmented with an advanced artificial intelligence (AI) agent, capable of prognosticating a candidate's behavioral competencies through the nuanced analysis of their facial expressions. This achievement leverages a real-time, video-recorded interview utilizing a histogram of oriented gradients and support vector machine (HOG-SVM) in conjunction with convolutional neural network (CNN) recognition. Diverging from the traditional paradigm of emotional state recognition, this avant-garde prototype system is designed to autonomously decipher a job candidate’s behaviors through their micro expressions, grounded in the behavioral ecology view of facial displays (BECV), within the framework of employment interviews. This manuscript introduces a pioneering methodology for evaluating a candidate's performance in a video interview. It elucidates a comprehensive study of sentiment analysis and eye-tracking techniques, whereby results can be synthesized on a single display to facilitate the selection of the most suitable candidate for hire. An empirical study was executed at a enterprise, wherein video recordings and competency evaluations were gathered from the organization's staff and hiring executives. The findings revealed that our proposed system exhibits superior predictive capabilities compared to traditional human-structured interviews, personality assessments, occupational interest evaluations, and assessment center. Consequently, our innovative methodology can be effectively employed as a screening tool, leveraging a personal-value-based competency framework.

Correlation between IL-17 and inflammatory bowel disease
Authors:   Department of Vision Screening Techniques, College of Health and Medical Techniques, Al-Forat Al-Awsat University Kufa, Iraq., Majeed Hiba
Published: January 2025

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a protracted, persistent gastrointestinal disease that is distinguished by recurring, persistent inflammation of the digestive tract. IBD, including Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis, is characterized by persistent inflammation due to immune dysregulation. Interleukin -17 (IL-17) contributes significantly to the pathophysiology of IBD, as highlighted in the context of the provided research. There is a strong correlation between IL-17 inhibitors and the onset or exacerbation of IBD, with IL-17 inhibitor treatment being linked to gastrointestinal inflammatory events such as IBD and colitis. The goal of the current study was to determine the relationship between IBD disease activity and serum IL-17 levels in individuals with IBD. This case-control study included 102 IBD patients and 48 normal individuals as a control group. Blood samples were used for measuring IL-17 levels using the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Levels of IL-17 were increased in patients compared with the control group (p=0.0001). IL-17 levels were significantly elevated in patients aged 1-15 years, 31-45 years and 16-30 years. IL-17 levels showed significant differences between two types of inflammatory bowel disease being elevated in Crohn’s disease more than ulcerative colitis (p=0.001). IL-17 demonstrated significant differences in IL-17 levels between male and female in patients and controls groups (p=0.0001). In conclusion, patients with IBD have higher serum levels of IL-17, indicating that these cytokines may have a role in the development and pathophysiology of Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis. Overall, monitoring IL-17 levels could serve as valuable biomarkers for assessing IBD severity and guiding treatment decisions.
Association of circulating Treg and plasma microRNA-21 with rheumatoid arthritis progression
Authors:   Department of Clinical Pathology, AboEl Azayem Hospital, Cairo,, Egypt., Gamal Mariam
Published: January 2025

The etiology of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is multifaceted. One of the hypothesized pathways that results in the progression of RA is regulatory T cell (Treg) dysfunction. The pro-osteoclastogenic and immunogenic characteristics of microribonucleic acid (microRNA)-21 (miR-21) suggest its role in RA progression. Hence, we investigated the significance of plasma miR-21 and Treg cell frequency as biomarkers for RA progression and assessed the link between miR-21 and Treg frequency in RA. This study enrolled 60 RA patients classified according to disease activity score 28-joint count with erythrocyte sediment rate (DAS28-ESR) to inactive cases (n = 30) and active cases (n = 30). Flow cytometer was used to assess Treg frequency. The Real-time quantitative PCR was used to measure the expression levels of miR-21 in plasma. When compared to the inactive group, the active group revealed significant up-regulation of miR-21 expression (p = 0.004) and down-regulation of Treg frequency (p<0.001). While Treg frequency was negatively correlated, miR-21 fold change was positively correlated with DAS-28-ESR (r = -508, p < 0.001 and r = 0.334, p < 0.009, respectively). No correlation was detected between mirR-21 and Treg frequency. Treg distinguished the two groups at area under the curve (AUC) of 0.907 with 86.7% sensitivity and 73.3% specificity, whereas miR-21 up-regulation discriminated active from inactive RA patients at AUC of 0.717, with 83.3% sensitivity and 53.3% specificity. In conclusion, Treg frequency and miR-21 fold were differentially linked to DAS-28-ESR in RA. MiR-21 fold up-regulation changes and Treg frequency down-regulation can be suggested as biomarkers for RA activity.

Published: January 2025

year throughout the world, according to the World Health Organization 2022. CRC is the third most prevalent disease and the second most common cancer in terms of fatality. People diagnosed with colorectal cancer in the early stages have a five-year survival rate of roughly 95%, but people identified with the disease in the later stages have a survival rate of approximately 12%. There are a number of variables that contribute to the development of CRC, these factors include both hereditary and environmental influences. We aimed to investigate the clinical utility of Interleukin (IL)-17A rs2275913 polymorphism to assess its association with CRC in Egyptian patients and the ability of using it as a non-invasive biomarker to assist in diagnosis of colorectal cancer. This case–control study included 75 subjects. Of these, 35 were CRC cases, 20 inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients and 20 normal control persons. Blood was collected and DNA extracted. The rs2275913 of IL-17A was genotyped using the Real-Time polymerase chain reaction (PCR). In CRC patient’s group, (5.71%) had the homozygous AA genotype, (40%) the heterozygous GA genotype and (54.29%) the wild GG genotype. While in IBD group (15%) had the homozygous AA genotype, (40%) the heterozygous GA genotype and (45%) the wild GG genotype. In the normal control group, no one had the homozygous AA genotype, but (45%) had the heterozygous GA genotype and (55%) the wild type of GG genotype. However, there was no statistically significant substantial variation amongst the three groups (p>0.05). In conclusion, our study demonstrated no association of IL-17A rs2275913 with both CRC and IBD in the Egyptian population.

Published: January 2025

The Papua conflict remains unresolved and is one of Indonesia's enduring challenges. Special autonomy and development efforts by the government in the region have not succeeded in fostering peace. This study aims to explore the causes of the Papua conflict and provide insights into conflict intervention strategies using the Structural, Accelerator, and Trigger (SAT) Model. This qualitative research as defined by Sugiyono utilized secondary data analysis to gain comprehensive understanding of the conflict intervention design for Papua based on implications of Structural, Accelerator, and Trigger (SAT) Factors. Data was gathered from various sources including books, journals, government documents, and media articles related to the dynamics of the Papua conflict. The study found that by applying the Structural, Accelerator, and Trigger (SAT) Model, the underlying causes of the conflict can be delineated, paving the way for intervention strategies based on these causes. Structural causes such as trust issues with the government, economic inequality, and divergent interests need interventions such as trust building, sustainable economic policies, and negotiation. Accelerator causes such as mass media require interventions such as strengthening media ethics, while conflict triggers such as violence necessitate law enforcement through judicial measures to achieve sustainable peace in Papua.

Authors: Kikasu Eustache Tanzala , Doba Yunus Goolam , Pillay Strinivasan Soondrasan , Kankisingi Gustave Mungeni
Published: January 2025

This study explores the ecosystemic impacts of higher education (HE) on the economies of African countries, emphasizing the need for competence-based, and skills-demand-driven standards in collaboration with industry. HE is vital for equipping individuals with essential knowledge and skills for socio-economic transformation. However, in Africa, this role has weakened, with industry assuming a leading position. Curricula in HE institutions are slow to adapt to the skills needed by industries, leading to a range of challenges such as outdated curriculum delivery, desertion of technical and vocational training, inadequate research resources, insufficient collaboration frameworks between HE and industries, minimal support for entrepreneurship, and poor infrastructure. Aligning HE curricula with industry skills requirements is crucial for enhancing African economic development and competitiveness. Unfortunately, there is a notable lack of partnerships and practical mechanisms for curriculum integration among African HE institutions, which results in graduates possessing skills that do not meet industry demands. This paper reviews the extensive literature on HE's role in African economies, advocating for in-depth collaboration between HE and industry in order to tackle skills mismatches. Accordingly, establishing a healthy partnership between HE institutions and industries could facilitate work-integrated learning, encourage industry-led curriculum development, and prepare graduates with applicable skills and relevant knowledge for the job market. Thus, developing a proactive framework that can facilitate and enforce collaboration between higher education and industries could be critical in addressing the challenges faced by African economic development.

Social activity is interpreted as a type of activity aimed at conscious interaction with the social environment and characterizing a person from the standpoint of his/her value for society and other people. The author's model of forming a socially active personality by means of media space is presented, which is built on an activity-based, personal, complex approach, includes cumulative, content, practical and methodological components. The model has the properties of integration, communication, complexity and requires considering the principles of interdisciplinarity, activity, comfort. The model is most effectively implemented when the following conditions are met: orientation of students in the social and cognitive values of professional activity, actualization of the personal value system of students in the process of pedagogical interaction, formation and support of positive self-esteem of students, their confidence in their own capabilities and abilities.

Introduction: Glaucoma is the leading cause of irreversible blindness in the world. It is known that myopia is an important risk factor for the development of glaucoma and, with the increasing incidence of myopia, this risk may increase.
Objective: To determine the influence of myopia on open-angle glaucoma.
Methods: Retrospective study through systematic review and collection of data from medical records between 2020-2023.
Results: The analysis includes data from 12,193 patients, 61.35% women and 38.5% men, with a mean age of 42±15.67 years; 79.91% had low myopia, 14.11% medium and 5.97% high; 24.49% had primary open-angle glaucoma. The frequency of glaucoma was higher in those with high myopia (29.12%; ci 1.07-1.36; p = 0.003), who were 1.21 times more likely to have glaucoma compared to patients with low myopia. Conclusions: Patients with high myopia were more likely to have glaucoma compared to those with moderate and low myopia. This risk increased proportionally to the degree of myopia.

Introduction: Subepithelial lesions are those located below the normal epithelial layer and can originate in any part of the gastrointestinal tract, being commonly found as incidental findings during routine upper digestive endoscopies. For definitive diagnosis, patients can undergo ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration biopsy - FNAB by echoendoscopy, since it is a safe and minimally invasive technique for patients.
Objective: To evaluate the accuracy of ultrasound-guided aspiration puncture in the diagnosis of subepithelial lesions of the digestive tract.
Method: Retrospective study, in which demographic data and cytopathological, histological and immunohistochemical reports of patients with subepithelial lesions in the digestive tract who underwent ultrasound-guided  FNAB between January 2017 and January 2020 were evaluated.
Results: Sixteen patients were evaluated, with females being the most affected, the mean age ± standard deviation was 59.12 ± 17.8 years and the stomach was the main anatomical location involved. There was a predominance in the cytological diagnosis of spindle cell proliferation (93.75%), while the histological reports demonstrated the smooth muscle pattern (31.25%), followed by GIST (25%). The result of the immunohistochemical study showed a predominance of the diagnosis of GIST (25%) and 12.5% ​​obtained the result of leiomyoma.
Conclusion: The accuracy of the diagnosis of subepithelial lesions of the digestive tract with the ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration - FNA technique - was 58.3%.

Introdução: Queimaduras podem causar injúria renal aguda é definida como uma queda abrupta da função renal. Mesmo com o advento da terapia renal substitutiva contínua, ela em pacientes queimados tem mau prognóstico, com taxa de mortalidade alta.
Objetivo: Analisar as correlações prognósticas do grande queimado internado em UTI em relação à gravidade da injúria renal aguda tardia com a sepse, o escore Abbreviated Burn Severity Index (ABSI) e desfecho.
Método: Estudo transversal com análise retrospectiva e analítica, realizado em hospital referência em queimados no período de 1 ano, analisando-se as correlações da gravidade da injúria renal tardia com risco de óbito pelo escore ABSI, sepse e desfecho em 137 pacientes grande queimados. Esses fatores foram relacionados os estágios da injúria renal aguda tardia durante o internamento.
Resultado: Os fatores de prognóstico avaliados, risco de óbito pelo ABSI (p = 0,009), presença de sepse (p = 0,000) e desfecho (p = 0,000) apresentaram diferença estatisticamente significativa com os estágios da injúria.
Conclusão: No grande queimado, a injúria renal aguda tardia de maior gravidade correlaciona-se ABSI com maiores riscos de óbito, com a presença de sepse e prognóstico de óbito como desfecho.

Introduction - Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) or radiographic ankylosing spondylitis is an axial spondyloarthritis with a male predominance, whose symptoms include low back pain associated with morning stiffness that can progress to ankylosis. Its inflammatory etiology is associated with structural changes, which can influence the clinical condition, functionality and response to treatment.
Objective: To study body composition and its influence on the inflammatory parameters of AS according to sex.
Method: Sixty-seven patients with AS had lean and fat body mass assessed by bioimpedance and Body Mass Index (BMI) assessment. Disease activity was measured by ASDAS PCR and physical function by BASFI.
Result: All patients had fat mass above predicted and lean mass below predicted, and the majority had a BMI above normal. There was a positive correlation between BMI and ASDAS PCR only in men, with no correlation in women.
Conclusion: Obesity contributed to the increase in inflammatory activity parameters in male AS patients.

Introdução: A bioquímica clínica tem desempenhado papel fundamental na identificação e compreensão das variações em possíveis marcadores laboratoriais em pacientes com COVID-19 grave.
Objetivo: Analisar os resultados de exames laboratoriais de admissão de internados com COVID-19 e correlacioná-los com o seu prognóstico de alta ou óbito.
Método: Estudo transversal descritivo-analítico exploratório com análise de prontuários. Foram coletados dados clínicos e bioquímicos de 78 pacientes internados com sorologia positiva para COVID-19, que tiveram resultados de exames laboratoriais de admissão.
Resultado: Ao ingresso, 52,56% dos pacientes exibiam desvios dos valores de hemoglobina em relação aos padrões de referência, sendo que o valor médio de eritrócitos foi de 3,92 x 10^6/µL, e hemoglobina de 11,70 g/dL; 62,82% tinham leucócitos fora dos limites normais; 53,85% plaquetas em níveis alterados; 52,56% níveis aumentados de PCR e 44,87%, de sódio; 20,51% tinham flutuações de potássio; e mais de 75% variações nos níveis séricos de lactato. Observou-se correlação estatisticamente significativa entre os desfechos fatais e os que apresentaram níveis séricos de PCR elevados (p = 0,024), bem como aumento na contagem absoluta de neutrófilos segmentados (p = 0,046), Aqueles com lactato aumentado também demonstraram correlação significativa com os desfechos letais (p = 0,003). Em contrapartida, linfocitose mostrou associação estatisticamente significativa e correlação com desfechos favoráveis, caracterizados pela alta hospitalar (p = 0,012).
Conclusão: A dosagem sérica de lactato elevada é um dos possíveis indicadores de pior prognóstico com desfechos desfavoráveis, sugerindo sua importância na avaliação bioquímica como preditor inicial de gravidade da doença. Por outro lado, a linfocitose mostrou-se correlacionada com melhor prognóstico indicando que sistema imune mais responsivo leva à maior probabilidade de recuperação da doença.
