Potential Anemia as a Risk Factor for Angular Cheilitis and Pseudomembranous Candidiasis: Case Report
Authors: Megawati Ani
Published: June 2024

Angular cheilitis and pseudomembranous candidiasis are oral infections caused by Candida albicans. Angular cheilitis patients also experience oral candidiasis because the Candida reservoir is intraoral. Iron deficiency anemia was closely related to this infection. A 50-year-old female patient complaint of pain in the commissure and tongue 3 weeks ago. Extraoral examination showed anemic conjunctiva and fissure erythema with crusting in bilateral commissures. Intraoral examination showed atrophy of papillae with a yellowish-white plaque that can be scraped off and leaves erythema on the tongue. A complete blood examination was performed and showed a decrease in hemoglobin, hematocrit, erythrocytes, MCV, MCH, and MCHC. The patient was diagnosed angular cheilitis and pseudomembranous candidiasis with iron deficiency anemia. The therapy was miconazole 2% cream, nystatin oral suspension 100.000 IU/ml, and iron supplements. The lesions healed after 2 weeks of therapy and the patient was consulted to an internist. The patient has Angular cheilitis and pseudomembranous candidiasis triggered by iron deficiency anemia. Iron deficiency anemia causes a decrease in salivary transferrin protein which is fungistatic so that Candida grows excessively. Angular Cheilitis therapy is miconazole cream which inhibit the synthesis of ergosterol and nystatin for candidiasis therapy which works by binding to Candida plasma membrane sterols, causing leakage and then death. Iron deficiency anemia therapy is iron supplements; however, drug therapy alone is less effective, and consultation with an internist is required for further therapy. Anemia has big potential to be a risk factor for angular cheilitis and pseudomembranous candidiasis so comprehensive treatment is needed.

Published: June 2024

Background: The use of mouthwash has increased and become a habit since the Covid-19 pandemic. The use of mouthwash is recommended for prevention. The mouthwashes that American Dental Association (ADA) and Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommended are chlorhexidine gluconate (CHX), hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), cetilpyridinium chloride (CPC), povidone iodine (PVP-I), dan chlorine dioxide (ClO₂). Universal composite resin is used for every tooth color requirement and has a chameleon effect that can disguise, eliminate, minimize, and neutralize mismatched colors. This study aims to determine various mouthwashes’ effects on the discoloration of universal composite resin. Method: This research is an experimental laboratory by comparing the color changes before and after treatment. Thirty samples of universal composite resin with a width of 10 mm and a height of 2 mm were divided into 5 mouthwash test groups and 1 control group. Color test using a Vita Easy Shade V spectrophotometer and the data were shown in DE assessment. Result: Data were analyzed with One Way ANOVA on DE assessment with the significance level p0.05 on 5 test groups. Conclusion: The 5 groups of mouthwashes showed there was a color change in the DE assessment of universal composite resin
Untying black boxes with clustering-based symbolic knowledge extraction
Authors: Sabbatini Federico , Calegari Roberta
Published: June 2024

Machine learning black boxes, exemplified by deep neural networks, often exhibit challenges in interpretability due to their reliance on complicated relationships involving numerous internal parameters and input features. This lack of transparency from a human perspective renders their predictions untrustworthy, particularly in critical applications. In this paper, we address this issue by introducing the design and implementation of CReEPy, an algorithm for symbolic knowledge extraction based on explainable clustering. Specifically, CReEPy leverages the underlying clustering performed by the ExACT or CREAM algorithms to generate human-interpretable Prolog rules that mimic the behaviour of opaque models. Additionally, we introduce CRASH, an algorithm for the automated tuning of hyper-parameters required by CReEPy. We present experiments evaluating both the human readability and predictive performance of the proposed knowledge-extraction algorithm, employing existing state-of-the-art techniques as benchmarks for comparison in real-world applications.

Published: June 2024

BACKGROUND: The ubiquity of social media has ushered in an era where uncontrolled content sharing extends to all subjects, including sensitive topics such as medication consumption. OBJECTIVE: To quantify the prevalence of YouTube videos providing information on glucocorticoids and to underscore the risks associated with inaccurate information, which might inadvertently promote inappropriate use of these medications. METHODS: The YouTube videos were selected using predefined keywords from February 20 to March 4, 2023. The videos were categorized into two groups. Category 1 promotes the misuse of corticosteroids, while Category 2 raises awareness about the risks associated with these drugs. RESULTS: In total, 843 YouTube videos were included. Approximately 76% of the creators were women. Of these, category 1 videos (69.63%) predominated over Category 2 videos (30.37%). Regarding Category 1, dexamethasone was mentioned in 41.53% of cases, followed by hydrocortisone (17.30%). According to these YouTubers, these products/medications are mainly obtained from community pharmacies (58.09%), online shops (20.01%), and through illicit markets and the black market (13.46%). Weight gain was the most common objective, according to 32.62% of the YouTubers. CONCLUSION: This study highlights the prevalence of YouTube videos regarding the misuse of corticosteroids. The common focus on weight gain as an objective underscores the importance of educating content creators and viewers about responsible corticosteroid use. Targeted interventions are needed to promote safe and informed medication practices within this online environment.

BACKGROUND: In vehicles there is often limited space for seats. This might mean that reclining the back rest reduces the legroom. The second row in a cargo van has this problem and in this limited space an upright seat and a reclined seat with less legroom was developed and tested. OBJECTIVE: The research question of this study is: Does a reclined backrest with less leg room result in the same comfort and/or discomfort as an upright backrest with more leg room? METHODS: Twenty participants are asked to sit 45 minutes in the upright seat with 8 cm more legroom and 45 minutes in the reclined seat. Ten participants started in the upright seat and ten in the reclined. Participants had to complete a comfort and discomfort questionnaire every 15 minutes and a qualitative interview was conducted after experiencing both seats. RESULTS: For comfort no statistically significant differences were found between both seats. For discomfort statistically significant differences were found where discomfort was lower in the reclined seat. Half of the participants preferred the upright and half the reclined seat. The interviews showed that the reclined position was more related to relaxation. CONCLUSIONS: This study indicates that a more reclined back rest results in less discomfort, but that does not lead to a clear preference of participants. The reclined position is associated with relaxing, and this study indicates that for the relaxing state the more reclined seat is preferred. For more active situations the upright posture seems better.

Published: June 2024

It is known that the value of impact toughness is sensitive to the geometric accuracy of manufacturing, the quality of the surface and concentrator of samples for impact bending. These parameters have a particularly strong influence on samples made of high-carbon materials. At present, the main regulatory document for the manufacture of samples for impact bending is GOST 9454‒78, which does not regulate the method of applying concentrators. Currently, methods of drawing, milling and electroerosion processing are used to apply the concentrator. The issue of the influence of processing methods on the magnitude of impact strength, in particular rail steel, has not been fully studied. To study the effect of electroerosion processing on impact toughness value we made specimens of P65 rail of DT350 category from 76ХФ steel of current EVRAZ ZSMK production using CNC milling machine and electroerosion processing. It has been established that the decrease in the values of impact strength of samples made using electroerosive machining was due to martensite released during local melting of the metal and non-ferrous metals (Cu and Zn) released during processing. During the operation of the electroerosion processing machine, an uneven surface was formed when the arc locally knocked out “holes”, which serve as additional stress concentrators during impact bending tests. The application of the concentrator by a milling machine leads to the formation of a deformed layer up to 80 µm deep, which is not a stress concentrator and does not reduce the impact strength of the rail steel. As part of a further study, it is planned to investigate the effect of the application of the concentrator by the pulling method on the value of the impact toughness.

Published: June 2024

The advantages, disadvantages and some features of a dilatometric method for studying the transformation of supercooled austenite in steels under continuous cooling are briefly discussed. The continuous cooling transformation diagram of the steel under consideration containing 0.50 wt. % C, 0.25 Si, 0.65 Mn, 0.75 Cr, 1.30 Ni and 0.15 Mo, respectively was plotted based on experimental data obtained upon dilatometer measurements carried out with dif-ferent cooling rates (0.1, 0.3, 1, 5, 30 K/s) on the Linseis L78 RITA dilatometer. According to the obtained dilatometer curves, the degree of transformation was calculated in accordance with the standard method, its disadvantages and possible ways to eliminate them are noted. Additionally for the proper design of the continuous cooling transformation diagram of supercooled austenite metallographic examination and hardness tests were carried out after various heat treatment modes. A qualitative description of the formed microstructures was performed in order to confirm the obtained dilatometer data. The “tangent method” was also employed to determine the critical temperatures upon heating at the rate of 0.1 K/s and the temperature of the of the martensite start temperature upon cooling from the austenitization temperature of 880 °C, based on the literature data the application of the implemented method is justified. Some recommendations are presented as possible methods for selecting the dimensions of parts for which the steel under consideration was planned to be used. Using the example of a billet with diameter of 50 mm, from which samples were machined for research, the possibility of practical application of one of the methods for determining the type of structures formed along the cross section of steel products under continuous cooling from the austenitic region is shown.

Published: June 2024

Millions of people die because of diabetes each year. Furthermore, most adults living with this condition are juggling with one or more other major health concerns. These related diseases also known as comorbidities coexist with the primary disease, but also stand as their own specific disease. The challenge that healthcare professionals face is that Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is difficult to differentiate into its six forms. This hinders timely and accurate diagnosis and proper treatment. This paper presents our research in developing a novel Advanced Artificial Intelligence (AI) based approach to analyze voluminous data of real endocrine patients for finding inferences for diagnosis and prognosis of DM and its comorbidities in different scenarios. Details are provided about the data models used, relevant feature sets and their association rule mining, deep learning analytical models developed, and results validation against various accuracy measures. The performance of several big data analytics platforms was validated for different models on three big EHR datasets with varying parameters that included temporal and textual features. The data models were mapped to Health Level Seven Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources Version Four (HL7 FHIR v4) schema labeled with International Codes for Diseases diagnostic codes (ICD-10-CM) to be flexible for generalized diagnostics. Out of several analytical models evaluated, Louvain Mani-Hierarchical Fold Learning (LMHFL) was found to be the most promising in terms of efficiency and accurate explainable diagnosis through reflective visualizations of associated features. Real-time Endocrine big EHR dataset was collected and preprocessed using rigorous data warehousing techniques while performing analysis to form DM-Comorbid-EHR-ICD-10 Corpora with finalized three corpuses of different sizes; Corpus100_DM_pts_2844, Corpus100_DM_pts_9304 and Corpus14407_DM_pts_33185.
A Review of the Scientific Literature on Experimental Toxicity Studies of COVID-19 Vaccines, with Special Attention to Publications in Specific Toxicology Journals
Authors: Domingo Jose L
Published: June 2024

Since the reports of the first cases of COVID-19, in less than 5 years a huge number of documents regarding that disease and the coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2), responsible for the infection, have been published. The tremendous number of scientific documents covers many topics on different issues directly related to COVID-19/SARS-CoV-2. It includes studies about the efficacy of vaccines to prevent the disease. However, only a comparatively low number of nonclinical studies -conducted in experimental animals- have been focused on the potential adverse/toxic effects of the COVID-19 vaccines. The present review was aimed at revising the scientific literature regarding the studies in laboratory animals on the toxic/adverse effects of COVID-19 vaccines. In addition, the investigations reported in those specific toxicology journals with the highest impact factors have been examined one by one. The results of the present review indicate that most nonclinical/experimental studies on the adverse/toxic effects of the COVID-19 vaccines and/or potential candidates showed -in general terms- a good safety profile. Only in some animal studies were certain adverse effects found. However, a rather surprising result has been the limited number of available (in the databases PubMed and Scopus) nonclinical studies performed by the companies that have been the largest manufacturers of mRNA vaccines in the world [https://www.google.com/search?sca_esv=ba085665fbb45bd4&sca_upv=1&q=Who+is+the+largest+manufacturer+of+vaccines+in+the+world%3F&sa=X&sqi=2&ved=2ahUKEwj6nMbAi-qGAxVLaqQEHTPwDcIQzmd6BAgZEAY]. Why these studies -assuming, of course, that they were conducted- have not been published in scientific journals, allowing the judgment of the international scientific community, including toxicologists?

This article discusses the development of a database for complementary bent-welded profiles, which facilitates the automation of the design of lattice metal structures. The main focus is on determining the conditions necessary to create efficient and technologically optimized solutions for metal trusses, taking into account the local stability of elements and the limitations of technological connections. The methodology involves analyzing models of rectangular tube intermediate assemblies in Solid Works and processing the results in Microsoft Excel, which allows elements to be grouped into complementary profile combinations. This study helps to link technical constraints to the strength of elements and simplifies the selection of profiles in accordance with DSTU EN 10219-2:2019, minimizing under loading by up to 5%. The authors emphasize the importance of technological optimization in the design of metal structures, using modern software solutions to analyze and select optimal solutions. They emphasize the importance of integrating profile databases with design software, which significantly increases the speed and quality of design solutions. This work makes a significant contribution to the practice of designing lattice metal structures by providing engineers with tools for efficiently selecting profiles based on technical characteristics and constraints. The article concludes with an analysis of the results obtained and prospects for further research in this area. The authors discuss the possibilities of expanding the database to include additional profile parameters and developing more flexible design tools, which will allow for even greater technological efficiency and cost-effectiveness of metal structures. This approach opens up new horizons for innovation in the design of metal structures, contributing to the development of more sustainable and efficient construction.

Cultural and Philosophical Analysis of Collective Identity and its Representation in Cinema
Authors: Kravchenko K. A. , Moskovchuk L. S.
Published: June 2024

Introduction. The current processes of deglobalization and decolonization in culture pose the task of rethinking and conducting a systematic and holistic analysis of the concept of collective identity from the perspective philosophy of culture. By utilizing culturalphilosophical paradigms, it becomes possible to overcome the limitations imposed by social constructivism and psychodynamic approaches to describing collective identity, and to describe collective identity as a stable objective interpersonal phenomenon. This article distinguishes between introgenic and extragenic types of collective identity, which differ in their sources of formation, significance for individuals and characteristics.

Methodology and sources. This research is based on the methodological foundations of symbolic interactionism, Mikhail Bakhtin's dialogical model of culture, Jurgen Habermas's ̈ discursive approach, and the systemic-holistic analysis developed by Moisey Kagan.

Results and discussion. Collective identity is considered as the result of aligning sociocultural experience with a system of values through communication. It involves the establishment of boundaries and the production of symbols that guide the process of identification. Cultural and ethnic identities are considered as introgenic types of collective identity, characterized by existential significance. Being dynamic, an identification leads to the formation of a stable and defined cultural or ethnic identity that seeks to maintain its boundaries and foundations even in the face of transformative influences. This is related to the processes of intersubjective interpretation, communication, and collectivity underlying their formation. Cinematic works do not merely reflect the world directly; they present it through languages and discourses, serving as reflections of reflections and social expressions that objectify the axiosphere. Cinema as a whole, and regional cinema in particular, reflects cultural values and identity, modeling ethnic diversity and illustrating the perspectives of cultural bearers. This way of representation liberates cultural or ethnic identity from distortions typical of exoticism and ethnographism that arise when describing local cultures through the eyes of the Other.

Conclusion. Currently, collective identity is only achievable through communicative interaction and it is based on the awareness of shared opportunities to participate in identity formation. This implies an equal contribution from both individuals and the objectified system of values and symbols through collective memory.

The article is devoted to the actual problem of modernization of the An-2 aircraft taking into account the EASA requirements for CS23 Level 4 to ensure the possibility of transporting 10–19 passengers. An overview of options for the modernization of the An-2 aircraft with replacement of engines and changing the design of the airframe has been carried out. An option to modernize the fleet of An-2 aircraft with the installation of a power plant that meets the requirements of the CS 23 Level 4 is proposed to ensure the possibility of transporting the number of passengers corresponding to the carrying capacity of the aircraft and the safety of passenger transportation. Options for the modernization of the An-2 type aircraft without or with minimal modification of the airframe, as well as options for the modification of the aircraft with the installation of a turboprop engines with a change of the airframe, have been considered. The advantages of using the modernization of the aircraft with its minimal modification have been characterized: they decrease the cost of maintenance of the power plant and fuel costs, engine maintenance in the field, as well as warm-up and start-up of the power plant are facilitated, and the aircraft dragin flight is reduced. It was established that the passengers capacity limits the transportation of passengers in new planes. Some completed improvement projects are listed: options for the modernization of the An-2 aircraft, options for modifying the airframe of the aircraft into a braced monoplane, options for a two-engine aircraft based on the An-2 airframe with one propeller, and options for the configuration of two engines under the cowling. Various schemes for installing two engines under the cowling: horizontally in a row, horizontally with downward displacement relative to the axis of the propeller, vertically in the plane of symmetry of the aircraft. Conclusions have been made about expediency of installing two turboprop engine with a single propeller drive instead of the existing power plant with a single piston engine to upgrade the An-2 type aircraft in service, and that it will allow to ensure the efficiency of passenger transportation in accordance with the existing requirements of the EASA CS 23 Level 4 and the maximum utilization of the aircraft
The Influence of ESG on Firm Performance: Evidence from Listed Companies in China
Authors: Xuan Suwen
Published: June 2024

The primary objective of this dissertation is to examine the influence of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors on the financial performance of a selected group of Chinese companies listed on the stock exchange. The results indicate a negative relationship between a firm's ESG performance and overall performance, suggesting that higher ESG performance is associated with worse firm performance. Furthermore, a considerable negative association exists between company performance and the environmental, social, and governance pillars. Upon further examination, the underlying cause for this outcome could be attributed to the company's allocation of resources towards environmental, social, and governance (ESG) initiatives. This investment incurs additional costs, but it is difficult for this expenditure to pay off in the short term. This situation contributes to a decline in the corporation's overall performance. Hence, corporations must prioritize long-term profitability and redirect their focus from immediate financial benefits to enduring social responsibility and sustainability commitments. Companies can incorporate environmental, social, and governance (ESG) plans into their fundamental business strategy to guarantee that ESG objectives align with their long-term goals. This practice aids in the prevention of supplementary expenses.

The efficiency level of APIPs should be a concern for the government to ensure that the allocated resources are optimally used to fulfill their role in preventing and detecting corruption. This study investigates the efficiency level of APIP using Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA). The number of employees and spending budget ratios of APIP are used as input, and ministries and regional government’s bureaucratic reform, risk management, and integrity perception score as output. Those outputs are selected since they represent the indicators of an effective anti-corruption effort. Applying a purposive sampling of 50 APIPs at the ministerial and regional levels, this study shows that only seven APIPs (14%) achieve maximum efficiency level. Furthermore, this study develops an algorithm to set those APIPs as a reference group by other similar APIPs based on the characteristics of inputs and output. Lastly, this study employs quadrant analysis to map the APIP’s efficiency level and its capabilities. It finds that 14 APIPs are relatively efficient and capable, while 35 APIPs are capable but not relatively efficient, and one APIP is not capable or efficient. This study could be used to design a more detailed and tailor-made agenda for strengthening APIP as an essential element in combating corruption in Indonesia.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder that causes progressive damage to brain cells, leading to impairment in cognitive functions. The Apolipoprotein E (APOE) variants play a significant role in the genetic basis of AD, especially late-onset AD (LOAD), and increase the disease risk at an earlier age. Although controversial, some studies reveal the association between APOE genotype and early-onset AD (EOAD) regardless of family history. Therefore, diagnostic laboratories widely perform routine tests to determine the APOE genotype. In the present study, we implemented a revised methodology for the Sequence-Specific-Primer-PCR (SSP-PCR) test for rapid APOE genotyping in 67 EOAD patients. Then, the findings were validated using automatic sequencing with newly designed primers for the related region of the APOE. We state clearly that the applicability of the SSP-PCR method was improved when the primer concentrations of control genes were increased 2-fold, as we reported. All data obtained from SSP-PCR were consistent with Sanger sequencing confirmations. Based on the genotyping results, the four different APOE genotypes were detected: E2/E4, E3/E3, E3/E4, and E4/E4. The frequencies were 1.5% (n=1) for E2/E4, 76.1% (n=51) for E3/E3, 16.4% (n=11) for E3/E4, and 6% (n=4) for E4/E4. In the study group, 23.9% (n=16) of the patients had homozygous or heterozygous APOE E4. However, we detected no significant association between the clinical features and the APOE genotype. As a result, this method is reliable, cost-effective, and rapid for performing genotyping analysis of the APOE for routine tests and research studies with larger EOAD cohorts.

Solution Approach To P-Median Facility Location Problem With Integer Programming And Genetic Algorithm
Authors: Ekin Emre
Published: June 2024

In the study, the P-median problem that Hakimi brought to science was discussed. With this problem, in short, it is ensured that the locations for the supply of n demand points of p facilities with the lowest cost are determined and the demand points to be served are allocated to these locations. The solution of the p-median problem with the integer programming approach is in the NP (Non-Polynominal) difficult class, and the solution time increases exponentially as the size of the problem increases. For this, the use of heuristic approaches in the P-median problem significantly shortens the solution time of large-sized problems. The data used in the application were taken from the Operation Research-Library site. In practice, the P-median is considered as capacity-constrained and unconstrained. Euclidean distances were calculated in Excel. The solution of mixed integer programming is obtained by using the CPLEX program. In addition to mixed integer programming, genetic algorithm, which is a meta-heuristic method, is applied to the capacity-constrained P-median problem. Different solutions were obtained by changing the population size, maximum number of iterations, crossover and mutation probability values. It has been observed that there is more than one optimum solution in repeated studies. When working with larger data sets, this algorithm will be less likely to find the global optimum. However, when compared to mixed integer programming, the genetic algorithm gave results very close to the optimum result. The use of heuristic algorithms in real-world complex problems will both shorten the solution time considerably compared to the integer programming method and provide results that are very close to the optimum result.

Published: June 2024

Bu araştırmada KOBİ’lerin girişimci pazarlama boyutlarına sahiplik düzeylerinin ortaya konulması ve girişimci pazarlama stratejisinin pazarlama kararlarındaki etkisinin belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Bu amaç doğrultusunda Türkiye’de faaliyet gösteren KOBİ statüsündeki işletmelerden anket yöntemi ile veriler elde edilmiş ve elde edilen veriler SPSS programı ile analiz edilmiştir. Elde edilen sonuçlar işletmelerin girişimci pazarlama boyutlarına sahip olma düzeylerinin cinsiyete göre anlamlı bir farklılık göstermediği; ancak eğitim ve yaş düzeyine göre anlamlı bir farklılık gösterdiğini ortaya koymuştur. Yine literatür bilgisine paralele olarak, ölçek olarak daha küçük ve mikro ölçekli işletmelerin daha fazla girişimci pazarlama stratejisi izledikleri tespit edilmiştir. Pazarlama kararlarının bilgiye dayalı olarak alınmasında ise girişimci pazarlama boyutlarının anlamlı bir etkisinin olduğu ve özellikle proaktif olma, risk alma ve kaynak dengelemenin daha fazla etkiye sahip olduğu tespit edilmiştir.
