Objectives: The Xerostomia Inventory (XI) was developed to assess the severity of dryness in patients with xerostomia. It has a long and a short form with three- and five-point Guttman-type response options. In this study, we aimed to translate the XI into Turkish, to assess the validity and reliability of both response options in patients with head & neck cancer (HNC) or Sjögren syndrome (SS), and to select the optimal version for Turkish patients.

Patients and methods: Between January 2019 and June 2019, the XI was translated into Turkish (XI-T) and applied to patients aged ≥18 years with HNC and SS. All patients were applied two tests including both the three- and five-point options. The internal consistency was assessed by Cronbach alpha and test-retest reliability by intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs). Content validity was based on expert opinion and patient reviews.

Results: A total of 186 patients (109 males, 77 females; median age: 54 years; range, 19 to 78 years) answered the XI-T. The number of patients with HNC and SS was 143 (77%) and 43 (23%), respectively. Median XI-T score was 17 for the three-point, and 24 for the five-point option, respectively. Overall internal consistency was satisfactory for both options (α=0.81 and α=0.89, respectively). Overall test-retest reliability was satisfactory and ICCs ranged between 0.71 and 0.92 for the three-point, and 0.36 and 0.94 for the five-point option, respectively. Assessments based on expert opinions and patient reviews also favored the content validity of the scale.

Conclusion: The XI-T with both three- and five-point options is a valid and reliable tool to evaluate the presence and severity of dryness in patients with HNC and SS who experience xerostomia. The three-point option is more comprehensible and can be preferred over the five-point option in the Turkish population.

A Gaussian Process Regression Model for Forecasting Stock Exchange of Thailand
Authors: Suphawan Kamonrat , Kardkasem Ruethaichanok , Chaisee Kuntalee
Published: March 2022

A stock price index measures the change in several share prices, which can describe the market and assist investors in deciding on a specific investment. Thus, foreseeing the stock price index benefits investors in creating a better investment strategy. However, forecasting the stock price index can be challenging due to its non-linearity, non-stationary and high uncertainty. Gaussian process regression (GPR) is an attractive and powerful approach for prediction, especially when the data fluctuates over time with fewer restrictions.  Besides, the GPR gains advantages over other forecasting techniques as it can offer predictions with uncertainty to provide margin errors. In this study, we evaluate the use of GPR to predict the stock price of Thailand (SET). The SET data are divided into 2 datasets; the data in the year 2015 - 2020 and the data in the year 2020 due to the massive change during the COVID-19 pandemic. The prediction results from the GPR are then compared to the machine learning approaches, artificial neural network (ANN) and recurrent neural network (RNN) using evaluation scores; the root mean square error (RMSE), the mean absolute error (MAE), the mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) and the Nash-Sutcliffe efficiency (NSE). The results indicate that the GPR is superior to the ANN and RNN for both datasets as it provides a high prediction accuracy. Moreover, the results suggest that the GPR is less sensitive to the number of input lags in the model. Therefore, the GPR is more favorable for the prediction of SET than the ANN and RNN.

HIGHLIGHTS

The Gaussian process regression (GPR) was applied to predict the stock price index of Thailand (SET)

The predictive performance of the GPR was compared to artificial neural networks (ANNs) and recurrent neural networks (RNNs)

The results indicate that GPR outperformed the other methods as it provided a high prediction accuracy along with prediction intervals

Authors: Carpenter Abhay , Choudhary Mahendra Kumar
Published: March 2022

Significant gaps exist in water management strategies implemented in the sub-basin of Narmada River, the Veda River Basin. Hence, the main goal of this study is to predict water demand and supply, recharge and draft with the use of the Water Evaluation and Planning System (WEAP) Model. The study area is watershed of the Veda River located in the Nimar region of Madhya Pradesh, and Middle Narmada River sub-basin of India. In this study, the WEAP model is used as a decision support system for watershed management. The WEAP model uses water balance approach for the generation of results, based on that 4 types of scenarios have been developed are high population growth, high industrial growth, rainwater harvesting, and water storage structures for future trends. The unmet water demands were simulated in all administrative blocks, catchments, and industries which amounting to 9.58´108 m3 in 2011 and 9.65´108 m3 in 2030. Results suggested that the addition of water storage structures as well as artificial groundwater recharge structures reduce the unmet water demand for domestic consumption and meet irrigation water requirements.

HIGHLIGHTS

Impact of Psychopathy and Narcissism on Employees’ Adverse Outcomes: A Perspective of Ethical Climate Theory and Threatened-Egotism Model
Authors: Chughtai Muhammad Salman , Akram Huma , Razzaq Tabassum , Rasheed Adeela , Shah Rabia
Published: March 2022

This study examines the impact of psychopathic and narcissistic personalities on employees' adverse outcomes. Additionally, this study investigates the intervening mechanism of workplace incivility among the relationship between psychopathic and narcissistic personalities and adverse outcomes. Furthermore, the interactive impact of Islamic work values was also tested between the association of workplace incivility and adverse outcomes. Data was collected through a survey method from 404 permanent public sector employees using the purposive sampling technique in two different time lags. PROCESS-macro was used to test indirect, interactive, and moderated mediation effects. The findings of this study confirm the direct effect relationship between those psychopathic and narcissistic personalities and employees' adverse outcomes. Further, this study demonstrates that workplace incivility indirectly enhances adverse employee outcomes. Finally, the study findings revealed that a higher level of Islamic work values reduces the adverse outcomes of employees having psychopathic and narcissistic personality characteristics. We also tested the moderated mediation model, which disclosed that a higher level of Islamic work values reduces the negativity level of psychopathic personalities, further decreasing the level of counterproductive work behaviors via workplace incivility. However, there was no moderating role of Islamic work values in reducing narcissist personalities' negativity levels and counterproductive work behaviors via workplace incivility. The present study provides information to the management of public sector organizations on how they can overcome their workforce's negative behaviors and outcomes by implementing the Islamic ethical system. This attempt contributed to ethical climate theory and threatened the egotism model by explaining that negative personality traits predict uncivil behaviors, leading to adverse outcomes. This study further contributes that the organization's ethical climate helps the individuals overcome the negativity of their personalities and negative behaviors.
Isolation and culture methods of human breastmilk stem cells: A systematic review
Authors: Syaidah Rahimi , Maliza Rita , Sukmawati Dewi
Published: March 2022

With the rapid development of cell-based therapy, the source of stem cells derived from non-invasive techniques have been intensively studied for their potential to replace the invasive source of stem cells. One of the alternative sources of stem cells is the cells taken from human breastmilk. Human breastmilk is always readily available, easy to access and can last for an extended period. Unfortunately, the standard protocol to isolate the cells from breastmilk is still not well explained. Our study aimed to investigate three main questions in human breastmilk stem cells: the optimal lactation stage, isolation and culture method, and the characterization of human breastmilk stem cells. We searched in vitro studies that used human breastmilk as a cell source of stem cells and clearly explained the step-by-step procedure. From the initial 457 studies, 15 articles fulfilled the criteria and were further analyzed. The results showed that the stem cells could be taken from breastmilk in any lactation stage and isolated with various techniques to obtain both pluri- and multipotent stem cells. Although breastmilk can be used as an alternative for noninvasive source of stem cell, the results of few study groups were found sometimes contradicting another group, resulting in confusing theory. Therefore, the standard protocol is still needed to tackle the confounding results.

Introduction and Aim: Owing to its medicinal properties, in the current investigation, crude extracts and liquid fractions of stem bark of Rhus mysorensis (RM) were screened for phytochemical composition and in vitro antiproliferative activity.

 

Materials and Methods: Phytoconstituents in extracts were examined using standard qualitative tests. TFC and TPC of the extracts were measured using the aluminum chloride and the Folin-Ciocalteau methods respectively.  In vitro antiproliferative activity of obtained five crude extracts (RMHE, RMPE, RMCE, RMME and RMAE) and three liquid fractions (RMLH, RMLC and RMLM) were determined in MDA-MB-231 cells by MTT assay.

 

Results: Different types of phytoconstituents were detected in crude extracts. The total phenolic contents of RMME (295.92 ± 0.32 mg Gallic acid/g extract) while total flavonoids contents of RMHE (75.0 ± 4.33mg Catechin / g of extract) were found significantly higher as compared to other solvent extracts. RMME exhibited the highest antiproliferative activity on MDA-MB-231 cells followed by RMCE and RMHE with IC50 values of 79.60 ±1.05, 86.81±1.11 and 121.45 ± 6.03?g/mL respectively.  RMPE and RMAE did not show significant growth inhibition. Unlike other crude extracts, RMME did not inhibit the growth of L6 cells even at higher concentration (320?g/mL). Among the solvent fractions, RMLM demonstrated potent antiproliferative activity in MDA-MB-231 (IC50, 60.85±1.59?g/mL) cells while RMLH and RMLC showed comparatively lesser growth inhibitory effect with IC50 values of 111.3 ± 0.35 and 124.1 ± 2.74?g/mL respectively.

 

Conclusion: The extracts of Rhus mysorensis were shown to contain a remarkable amount of different bioactive compounds, thus confirming their involvement in several biological activities.   RMLM selectively inhibit the proliferation of TNBC (triple negative breast cancer) cells hence it can be used as a source for isolation and characterization of novel anticancer compounds.

Introduction and Aim: Musicians may perceive the early symptoms of dystonia because of faulty technique or lack of sufficient preparation. Hand dystonia affecting musicians is often called musician’s dystonia or musician’s cramp.  Guitarists are typically affected in their left hand and the spasms may cause the fingers to contract and curl under when attempting to play. The condition called focal dystonia (musician’s cramp), can afflict typist or anyone else who makes repetitive, forceful, precise movements. The objective of the study is to observe the impact of alexander technique versus mirror therapy on musician’s cramp. Methodology: A total of 150 subjects were randomly selected based on the inclusion criteria. The selected subjects were divided in three groups namely group A, B and C respectively. The evaluation parameters were performed using the Likert scale and was framed based on pain, mobility, and grip. Results: Likert scale for pain, mobility and grip was used to analyse data. The results of this study show that the Alexander Technique is more effective than mirror therapy and conventional therapy to reduce pain and improve mobility and grip for guitarists. Conclusion: These results suggest that playing guitar by adapting Alexander technique is advantageous for building speed.

Published: March 2022

Background: During the Covid-19 pandemic, Saudi Arabia instructed all institutions to deliver online educational activities. Distance e-learning emerged as an alternative to traditional education. E-learning involves long hours of sitting which can lead to postural problems and a series of health issues, including low back pain among medical students. This study is aimed to identify the correlation between low back pain and prolonged sitting during e-learning during the COVID-19 pandemic among medical students in Prince Sattam Ibn Abdulaziz University at Al-Kharj, Saudi Arabia. Methods: This is a cross-sectional survey study that was conducted in the medical college at Al-Kharj, Saudi. The self administered structured online questionnaire consisted of 25 questions. The survey consisted of four parts including a consent page, demographic data, history of low back pain and patterns and attitude of participant’s towards devices and positioning during the process. Results: A total of 188 participants were enrolled in the study showing that 39.7% of medical students at the university experienced low back pain during the e-learning period. The duration of pain was less than 30 minutes in 52% of the participants. The pain aggravated with prolonged sitting in 74.7% of the students and was relieved by rest in 8 % . We observed that 86.8% of the sample did not stretch in between lectures. However, correlation studies between low back pain, body mass index and exercise were non-significant. Conclusions: The prevalence of LBP during e-learning among medical students was 39.7%. However, there was no significant risk factors that affected the occurrence of low back pain. This research should be expanded to other Saudi medical schools to get a broader assessment.

Published: March 2022

The aim of this study is to examine secondary school students' desire to pursue a career in science and mathematics in 2011 and 2015, taking into account gender differences, and to examine how variables related to students' socioeconomic status, motivation and performance predict the desire of female and male students to pursue a career in science and mathematics. The number of books, study environment at home and parents’ educational levels were analyzed as SES variables. While motivational variables were students’ self-efficacy and task value beliefs, performance related variables were their achievement and engagement. The data of the eighth-grade students from Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) 2011 and 2015 were analyzed. To investigate the year differences of girls’ and boys’ career aspirations in science and mathematics, Chi-Square test was performed. In addition, logistic regression analysis was conducted to investigate the relation between students’ SES, motivation, performance and career aspirations for 2011 and 2015 data separately. The results have indicated that students’ motivation was the strongest and the most common predictor of career aspirations in science and mathematics for boys and girls.
Safety Precautions for The Use of LNG as Marine Fuel
Authors: ÇELİKASLAN Zeynep , KILIÇ Alper
Published: March 2022

International Maritime Organisation has changed the emission rates in the MARPOL Annex VI rules as of 2020 and reduced the sulfur rate from 3.5 percent to 0.5 percent and led the maritime sector to alternative fuels. Compared to other alternative fuels, liquefied natural gas (LNG) is an attractive option with almost zero emission rate, ease of access, availability of ports that currently supply LNG and low price in the fuel market. In addition, according to the life cycle assessment, which is a methodology created by ISO 14040: 2006 to examine the impact of a product on the environment, in order for a fuel to be environmentally sustainable, it has to be associated not only with low emissions during fuel combustion, but also with the entire fuel life cycle, starting with raw material extraction, fuel production, distribution and finally combustion. The life cycle environmental performance of LNG as a marine fuel has been observed to have its impact on climate change in the range of 20% to 5%, significantly reducing SO2 and NOX emissions compared to heavy fuel oil. LNG bunkering is specified in the IGC code. In addition, there are standards brought by class organizations. This study shows us how to avert from the risk of LNG leakage accident. For this reason, risk analysis should be done correctly, ISM checklists should be created and applied on ships accordingly.

Mission is an integral part of Christianity. The activities of the western world mission that have sent 164 years of missionaries to the land of Papua have no impact on Papua. The existence of the church of God in the land of Papua also has no impact and significance for the people of Papua. Papua lost its identity as a gospel land. The high level of Islamization, the low level of education, and the high level of poverty makes it necessary for Papua to be helped. Papua is calling as Macedonia calls in the millennium. AbstrakMisi merupakan bagian yang integral dengan agama Kristen.
