Authors: Bhardwaj Harish , Khute Sulekha , Sahu Ram , Jangde Rajendra Kumar
Published: November 2023

The diabetic wound is excessively vulnerable to infection because the diabetic wound
suggests delayed and incomplete healing techniques. Presently, wounds and ulcers related to diabetes
have additionally increased the medical burden. A diabetic wound can impair mobility, lead
to amputations, or even death. In recent times, advanced drug delivery systems have emerged as
promising approaches for enhancing the efficacy of wound healing treatments in diabetic patients.
This review aims to provide an overview of the current advancements in drug delivery systems in
managing chronic diabetic wound healing. This review begins by discussing the pathophysiological
features of diabetic wounds, including impaired angiogenesis, elevated reactive oxygen species,
and compromised immune response. These factors contribute to delayed wound healing and
increased susceptibility to infection. The importance of early intervention and effective wound management
strategies is emphasized. Various types of advanced drug delivery systems are then explored,
including nanoparticles, hydrogels, transferosomes, liposomes, niosomes, dendrimers, and
nanosuspension with incorporated bioactive agents and biological macromolecules are also utilized
for chronic diabetes wound management. These systems offer advantages such as sustained
release of therapeutic agents, improved targeting and penetration, and enhanced wound closure.
Additionally, the review highlights the potential of novel approaches such as antibiotics, minerals,
vitamins, growth factors gene therapy, and stem cell-based therapy in diabetic wound healing. The
outcome of advanced drug delivery systems holds immense potential in managing chronic diabetic
wound healing. They offer innovative approaches for delivering therapeutic agents, improving
wound closure, and addressing the specific pathophysiological characteristics of diabetic wounds.

Nanoparticles
Authors: Singh Amitender , Yadav Kavita , Thakur Preeti , Thakur Atul
Published: November 2023

Introduction:

Herein, we prepared Zinc oxide (ZnO) and silver (Ag)
doped ZnO nanoparticles (NPs) using a simple, fast, effective and economic coprecipitation
method. The superior characteristics in the nanoscale range of ZnO encourage
us to work on the ZnO NPs. Also, Ag has long been employed for its antibacterial
qualities. X-ray diffraction (XRD) results indicate a hexagonal wurtzite structure
of ZnO NPs and an additional peak corresponding to the metallic Ag phase in the
Ag-ZnO sample. The EDAX elemental mapping confirms the uniform distribution of
Ag in ZnO NPs. Photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy investigates electronic structure
and defects in NPs.ic co-precipitation method and study of Cyclic Voltammetry and Photoluminescence characteristics.

Method:

According to the PL study, the strong photoluminescence NBE observed at
393 nm, indicating the high crystalline quality of the material and broad blue-green
emission at 467 nm and green-yellow emission at 560 nm were attributed to the Zn
interstitial and oxygen vacancy defects present in ZnO NPs. Measurements from cyclic
voltammetry (CV) demonstrate approximately symmetric peaks related to anodic
and cathodic behaviours of the NPs based electrode.

Result:

For ZnO sample, the anodic peak was found at 0.49 V and cathodic at 0.29
V, whereas, for Ag-ZnO sample, the anodic peak was at 0.59 V, and the cathodic
peak was present at 0.19 V, respectively. The separation between cathodic and anodic
peaks enhanced with Ag-doping in ZnO, which could be associated with the variations
in the transfer of electrons at the interface between the working electrode and
the solution, confirming an increase in the reaction activity of Ag-ZnO NPs.

Conclusion:

The results indicate that Ag-doped ZnO NPs may be an efficient catalyst
for waste water treatment and photocatalytic applications.

Authors: Aldoshina S. A.
Published: November 2023

The relevance of this article is due to the need to track the dynamics of the nature of the use of precedent units as an indicator of the level of linguistic competence in modern Spanish journalism.

   The purpose of the study is to identify the factors influencing the use of precedent units and trends in the dynamics of their content in modern Spanish journalism.

   The object of the study is precedent units, and the subject is their linguistic implementation in the modern Spanish press.

   The objectives of the study include the analysis of the representation of precedent units in modern media texts based on the study of stylistic characteristics, the definition of their content and the nature of their functioning in journalism.

   Any, even very minimal, shift in the value paradigm leads to a change in the content of the precedent unit, connections with its original content are lost and a complete deactualization of meaning may even occur. In the course of the study, methods of observation, definitional, quantitative, contextual, component and discourse analysis were used. The study was carried out based on Diccionario de dichos y frases hechas / "Dictionary of sayings and stable expressions" by Alberto Buitrago, the Corpus of the Spanish language of the XXI century (CORPES XXI) was used to track the frequency of use of precedent units. The article defines the tendency to change the content of precedent units in Spanish journalism. When updating the cultural content presented in the set of precedent units of Spanish linguoculture, the authors mainly use them as elements of headings that attract the reader's attention, while in the text of the article they often explain the meaning of this unit, which indicates the possible deactualization of this expression in the future.

Published: November 2023

The article deals with the issue of the naming system of characters in the story of A. P.Gaidar "The Fate of the drummer". The paper pays attention to the language of the writer's fiction as a source for detailed linguistic analysis.

   The novelty of the research is seen in the fact that the article for the first time gives a systematic analysis of the names of the characters in the story and compares it with the ideological basis of the work.

   The relevance of the research is connected with the need for a detailed study of the language of A. P. Gaidar's fiction, and the analysis of the system of naming characters is one of its aspects.

   The article discusses the concept of synonymy of proper names, talks about its conditionality. For the analysis, the concept of anthropodubility was taken, which allows us to include common names in the naming system of the characters of the story. The article proves that the naming principles are indicative. It is proved that the work is based on the contrast of "friend and foe", it is with this division that the principle of giving heroes names is connected. In the article, the authors give special naming formulas that demonstrate typical naming patterns of the character of the story. The authors point to the dynamics of the nomination, which depends on the perception of a person. Many names in the process of plot development are replaced by expressive and relaxed ones. The authors dwell on the features of children's speech, which also play a special role in the nomination of heroes and show the uniqueness of children's perception of the people around them. The article also discusses nameless heroes and explains the absence of their nominations. It is proved that such heroes are the embodiment of a certain ideology, to which the writer pays special attention.

Relevance. Well-being is often used in modern socio-economic research as one of the main categories. One of the criteria of well–being is lending, which is an important part of the life of the population and has a great impact on the development of society in general and the individual in particular. The study of lending and its impact on human well-being contributes to the creation of a holistic image of the socio-economic situation of the population. The purpose is to determine the impact of lending on the well-being of the population, as well as the subjective assessment of loans by the population, expressed in relation to credit products. Objectives: assess the place of lending in the category of well-being of the population; consider the loan from a social point of view; to determine the ratio of respondents using / not using credit; to study respondents' ideas about the essence of loans; to assess the attitude of the population to loans; to determine the impact of loans on the emotional state of a person; to determine the impact of loans on the situation in the country. Methodology. The structural and functional approach within the framework of the systemic picture of the world was used as the methodological basis of the study. The authors also applied general scientific methods: analysis, comparison, generalization. In addition, methods of correlation and variance analysis were applied. Results. The main results are defined as follows: within the framework of this article, an empirical study was conducted, on the basis of which the importance of lending for the well-being of the individual and the region was determined; the respondents' attitude to credit products and the frequency of their access to them were assessed. Conclusions. The paper characterizes the importance of lending for both the individual and the economic system. The results of the study allowed us to conclude that more than half of the respondents are neutral about loans; also, about half of the respondents turn to them. The subjective assessment of the impact of loans on the well– being of the individual is high, on the well-being of the region is low.

Authors: Vallepu Suneetha , Shaik Khadar Basha , Shaik Naseem , Vadde Ramakrishna , R Narasimhulu , Patan Shaik Sha Valli Khan
Published: November 2023

The present investigation aims to study the influence of household processing methods, such as soaking, germination, and steam cooking, on nutritional composition (proximates, amino acids, minerals, and vitamins), antinutrient factors (phytochemicals: tannins, total phenols, phytic acid; enzyme inhibitors: trypsin and α-amylase inhibitors) and antioxidant properties of whole grains of foxtail millet. The contents of total ash (1.42%), fat (3.02 g/100 g), and mineral chromium (12.83 mg/100 g) were found to be high upon soaking. Trypsin inhibitors were reduced from 26.84% (steam cooking) to 12.45% upon soaking. Germination enhanced the contents of protein (11.57 g/100 g), minerals, i.e., Ca (32.48 mg/100 g), P (5.82 mg/100 g), Fe (5.81 mg/100 g), amino acid tyrosine and vitamin B1. A significant decrease in the contents of tannins from 218.93 mg GAE/g (soaking) to 93.93 mg GAE/g), phytic acid from 307.5 mg/g (soaking) to 97.63 mg GAE/g) and α-amylase inhibitors from 35.20% (steam cooking) to 5.61% were recorded upon germination. The TPCs were reduced from 13.63 mg GAE/g (soaking) to 6.81 mg GAE/g upon steam cooking. Germinated grains recorded the highest antioxidant properties based on the scavenging capacity of DPPH (0.59 mg AScE/g), ABTS+ (10.77 mg TE/g) radicals and RPA (0.89 mg AScE/g). Overall, different household processing methods altered the composition of nutrients, antinutrients, and antioxidant properties. Germination has enriched the bioavailability of protein, carbohydrates, minerals, amino acids, and antioxidant properties and reduced the anti-nutritional factors, especially phytic acid, tannins, and α- amylase inhibitors.

Published: November 2023

BACKGROUND

Hospital-induced delirium is one of the most common and costly iatrogenic conditions, and its incidence is predicted to increase as the population of the United States ages. An academic and clinical interdisciplinary systems approach is needed to reduce the frequency and impact of hospital-induced delirium.

OBJECTIVE

The long-term goal of our research is to enhance the safety of hospitalized older adults by reducing iatrogenic conditions through an effective learning health system. In this study, we will develop models for predicting hospital-induced delirium. In order to accomplish this objective, we will create a computable phenotype for our outcome (hospital-induced delirium), design an expert-based traditional logistic regression model, leverage machine learning techniques to generate a model using structured data, and use machine learning and natural language processing to produce an integrated model with components from both structured data and text data.

METHODS

This study will explore text-based data, such as nursing notes, to improve the predictive capability of prognostic models for hospital-induced delirium. By using supervised and unsupervised text mining in addition to structured data, we will examine multiple types of information in electronic health record data to predict medical-surgical patient risk of developing delirium. Development and validation will be compliant to the Transparent Reporting of a multivariable prediction model for Individual Prognosis Or Diagnosis (TRIPOD) statement.

RESULTS

Work on this project will take place through March 2024. For this study, we will use data from approximately 332,230 encounters that occurred between January 2012 to May 2021. Findings from this project will be disseminated at scientific conferences and in peer-reviewed journals.

CONCLUSIONS

Success in this study will yield a durable, high-performing research-data infrastructure that will process, extract, and analyze clinical text data in near real time. This model has the potential to be integrated into the electronic health record and provide point-of-care decision support to prevent harm and improve quality of care.

Published: November 2023

BACKGROUND

Artificial intelligence (AI) chatbots have recently gained use in medical practice by health care practitioners. Interestingly, the output of these AI chatbots was found to have varying degrees of hallucination in content and references. Such hallucinations generate doubts about their output and their implementation.

OBJECTIVE

The aim of our study was to propose a reference hallucination score (RHS) to evaluate the authenticity of AI chatbots’ citations.

METHODS

Six AI chatbots were challenged with the same 10 medical prompts, requesting 10 references per prompt. The RHS is composed of 6 bibliographic items and the reference’s relevance to prompts’ keywords. RHS was calculated for each reference, prompt, and type of prompt (basic vs complex). The average RHS was calculated for each AI chatbot and compared across the different types of prompts and AI chatbots.

RESULTS

Bard failed to generate any references. ChatGPT 3.5 and Bing generated the highest RHS (score=11), while Elicit and SciSpace generated the lowest RHS (score=1), and Perplexity generated a middle RHS (score=7). The highest degree of hallucination was observed for reference relevancy to the prompt keywords (308/500, 61.6%), while the lowest was for reference titles (169/500, 33.8%). ChatGPT and Bing had comparable RHS (β coefficient=–0.069; P=.32), while Perplexity had significantly lower RHS than ChatGPT (β coefficient=–0.345; P<.001). AI chatbots generally had significantly higher RHS when prompted with scenarios or complex format prompts (β coefficient=0.486; P<.001).

CONCLUSIONS

The variation in RHS underscores the necessity for a robust reference evaluation tool to improve the authenticity of AI chatbots. Further, the variations highlight the importance of verifying their output and citations. Elicit and SciSpace had negligible hallucination, while ChatGPT and Bing had critical hallucination levels. The proposed AI chatbots’ RHS could contribute to ongoing efforts to enhance AI’s general reliability in medical research.
Examining the Relationship Between Social Support, Self-Efficacy, Diabetes Self-Management, and Quality of Life Among Rural Individuals With Type 2 Diabetes in Eastern China: Path Analytical Approach (Preprint)
Authors: Wang Lizhu , Li Li , Qiu Yang , Li Sihan , Wang Zhonghua
Published: November 2023

BACKGROUND

Patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) in rural China frequently exhibit inadequate diabetes self-management (DSM) and a reduced quality of life (QoL). Social support and self-efficacy are known to influence DSM and QoL. However, the pathways through which social support and self-efficacy impact DSM and QoL among patients with T2D in rural China has yet to be fully elucidated.

OBJECTIVE

This study offers a foundation for developing policies in rural chronic disease management, thereby, contributing to the improvement of T2D prevention and control in China and other transitional countries.

METHODS

This study used a cross-sectional design, collecting data from a survey conducted between May and July 2021 on DSM and QoL among rural patients diagnosed with T2D in 2 townships in East China. All patients with T2D were enrolled through cluster sampling from the township health center database, and a questionnaire survey was administered by investigators. Structural equation modeling and multiple regression analyses were used to explore the pathways through which social support influences DSM and QoL, as well as the mediating role of self-efficacy.

RESULTS

It was found that the DSM score (mean 37.42, SD 7.70) was less than half of the maximum theoretical score. The QoL score (mean 48.92, SD 8.88) accounted for 36% of the maximum theoretical score. Social support directly and positively affected the DSM and QoL of Chinese rural patients with T2D (P<.01); an increase of 1 unit in social support was associated with a direct increment of 0.339 units in DSM and 0.397 units in QoL. Self-efficacy played a positive mediating role (P<.01), further increasing DSM and QoL by 0.147 and 0.159 units, respectively. The mediating effect of self-efficacy accounted for 30.2% and 28.6% of the total effect of social support on DSM and QoL. Furthermore, the family and friend dimension of social support, along with the symptom and disease management dimensions of self-efficacy, were significantly associated with DSM or QoL (P<.01).

CONCLUSIONS

The study confirmed the direct and indirect influences of social support on DSM and QoL and elucidated the mediating effect of self-efficacy among rural patients with T2D in eastern China. Interventions should be developed to enhance both social support and self-efficacy, creating a positive cycle of mutual reinforcement to improve DSM and QoL among this group.
Development of Both a Risk Prediction Model for Conversion to Alzheimer’s Disease and Prototype Clinical Dashboard: A Prototype CDS Tool for PCPs to Monitor Cognitive Impairment (Preprint)
Authors: nair rajesh
Published: November 2023

BACKGROUND

: Primary care physicians (PCPs) have substantial obstacles to detecting Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) including lack of time and ability to properly screen those with cognitive impairment. The solution for this project involves designing an algorithm based on known risk factors, such as depression ((as measured by a screening tool called Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9)), level of exercise, education and Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA. Using a Tableau dashboard embedded in a clinic electronic medical record (EMR), the solution will visually display critical indicators to the clinician and flag changes in health status.

OBJECTIVE

The purpose of this report is to describe a risk prediction model for cognitive impairment and potential conversion to AD and display the model in a prototype clinical dashboard (Nair-dashboard) for use as a clinical decision support (CDS) tool. Implementation strategies will also be discussed.

METHODS

This model was developed using data from a retrospective cohort of 960 patients with varying degrees of cognitive impairment who were seen in a primary outpatient clinic between 2000 and 2012 in Chicago (IL). All eligible patients were identified by a PCP. The clinic uses Cerbo EMR.

RESULTS

The model had good discrimination, indicating good ability to separate those who convert to AD from those who do not. The Nair-dashboard produced visual displays for individual and overall risk factors of conversion to AD as a percentage. Additionally, patients with highest overall risk of conversion based on pre-set thresholds were also displayed. Errors were found with MoCA score trend lines and further troubleshooting was inconclusive.

CONCLUSIONS

Cognitive impairment is a complex scenario, and the algorithm and dashboard can be the first steps to addressing some of these issues. The inherent limitations must be recognized, and future work would entail improving the performance.
Development of the Single European Sky

Published: November 2023

The objective of the research is to present the development of the Single European Sky initiative and to outline its importance for the European economy and the European aviation industry. The paper reviews in detail the concept of the Single European Sky, the economic factors that have led to its formation and the European regulatory framework comprised of a set of EU-wide rules on Air Traffic Management (ATM) safety, on the provision of ATM services, on airspace management and on interoperability within the network, as well as financial support to the technological modernization programme (the SESAR project). It presents the rulemaking activity of the European Commission to deal with the inefficiency of the European ATM System due to the fragmented character of international airspace, fragmented into smaller air traffic control centres divided by the national boundaries, effectively limiting integration, interoperability, and economies of scale, and leading to induced delays, excessive air-traffic control costs and uneconomical flight trajectories. The applied research methodology includes content analysis, analysis of statistical data, historical data, conclusions, and generalizations. The hypothesis is that the strategic goals of the Single European Sky initiative and its implementation are beneficial for the competitiveness of the European aviation industry, and the common rules and the introduction of a harmonized legislative framework will contribute to improving the efficiencies of ATM while accounting for the interests and singularities of all stakeholders in the European aviation value chain.

Published: November 2023

Abstract: Nowadays it is very difficult to stay active all the time due to busy schedules. Falling asleep at the wheel can lead to serious consequences, accidents, and even death. This situation is much more common than we realize and therefore it is very important to fight this problem. So, to solve this problem, we developed a sleep alarm for drivers. This system alerts the user when he falls asleep at the wheel, thus preventing accidents and saving lives. This system is handy for long-distance travelers and late-night drivers. Designed with a blink sensor, it takes safety measures a step further by designing a system to stop the vehicle when the driver's eyes are closed. The system is developed using Arduino microcontroller. The eye blinking sensor is connected to a microcontroller that continuously monitors the frequency of the driver's eye blinking.If the driver's blink rate falls below a certain threshold, the system warns the driver and sends a signal to the vehicle's controlsystem to stop the vehicle.

The Study on the Fundamental of Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) Sensing Principle
Authors: Jalil Muhammad Arif Bin
Published: November 2023

Abstract: A single mode fibre core is laterally exposed to a periodic pattern of powerful UV laser light to create an optical sensor called an FBG. The exposure results in a long-lasting rise in the fiber's core's refractive index (ncore), producing fixed index modulation known as grating (Λ). A specific wavelength of input light, known as the Bragg wavelength or Bragg related to grating period, must be reflected by the grating inside the fibre optic core while transmitting all other wavelengths. FBG operates as intended by using the regular variations in the single mode fibre core's refractive index, a Bragg reflector can be constructed on an optical fibre. A specific wavelength of light will be reflected and all others will be transmitted as it passes through the FBG. A shift in the wavelength of the light reflected when the temperature or strain surrounding the grating changes is seen.

Human beings are social creatures that require interactions among individuals. Encountering those who hold various prejudices towards individuals or different groups in their surroundings often leads to conflicts and animosity among fellow beings. Therefore, the presence of prejudices, whether positive or negative, significantly affects one's attitude and behavior in societal life. This study elucidates the commonalities and differences of prejudices as presented in the interpretations of Al-Ibrīz and Tafsīr Fī Ẓilālil-Qur'ān, and how prejudice is classified in contemporary society. The purpose of this research is to identify the similarities and disparities in prejudices as depicted in the interpretations of Al-Ibrīz and Tafsīr Fī Ẓilālil-Qur'ān, as well as to understand the classification of prejudices in modern society. The research employs a comparative method using the technique of library research, with Al-Ibrīz by Bisri Musthofa and Tafsīr Fī Ẓilālil-Qur'ān by Sayyid Quthb as the primary sources of reference. The findings of this study indicate: 1.) Both commentators share a similar interpretation of prejudice, which is the prohibition of harboring excessive prejudices, as some forms of prejudice are considered sinful. However, there is a difference in their interpretations. According to Bisri Musthofa, engaging in prejudice by seeking out others' faults and flaws can lead to slander. On the other hand, according to Sayyid Quthb, it is advised not to be easily swayed by conjectural whispers and to strive to eliminate slander to preserve the bond of brotherhood among people. 2.) Prejudice is prevalent in societal life. As individuals engage in the world of social interaction, they are bound to encounter numerous instances where various types of prejudices, both positive and negative, are ingrained.

Online learning has become a solution for education during the COVID-19 pandemic. Some existing studies consider online learning to provide quality education amidst the pandemic. However, its implementation has caused several problems and challenges for educational institutions, teachers, students, and parents, particularly in early childhood education. This study aims to describe TK BQSR's experience in using the jarimatika quran method for Quran memorization through online learning, identify the challenges, and demonstrate the school's strategies in addressing these challenges. This research adopts a qualitative approach. Data are collected through interviews and documentation and analyzed descriptively. The results indicated that Quran memorization using the jarimatika Quran method at TK BQSR is conducted through WhatsApp, video calls, and YouTube. The challenges encountered in implementing online learning are related to achieving learning targets, teacher proficiency, student interest and motivation, parental support, internet connectivity and data limitations, as well as school facilities and infrastructure. To overcome these challenges, TK BQSR has employed several strategies, including implementing regular evaluation systems, holding focus group discussions among teachers for lesson preparation, conducting weekly tahsin (Quran recitation) sessions for parents, organizing monthly parenting training, providing teacher capacity-building training, availing the services of a learning consultant for the school, and continuous support from the central foundation.

This paper aims to systematically review a wide range of literature to provide insights on the risk of public-private partnership (PPP) projects. The authors have critically reviewed the risk elements from the entire spectrum of the construction industry. Thus, the systematic literature review (SLR) method was employed to synthesise research with precise attention to detail. To achieve research objectives and to retrieve articles related to PPP and risk identification building adaptive reuse, the following database was utilised: Scopus, Google Scholar, ScienceDirect, and Web of Science. Number of related themes were collected and analysed according to the coding structure. The results present that a total of twelve (12) risk categories have been identified from the existing literature, namely, political, economic, legal, natural, demand risk, financial, residual asset risk, design, construction, operation, partner selection, and contract risk, respectively. These categories were further divided into fifty-seven (57) different risk factors, whereby the classifications were perceived to be related to the PPP project. In addition, sixteen (16) risk factors were identified in the context of building adaptive reuse specifically, focusing on feasibility and procurement stages. Consequently, the present review recognised the knowledge gaps to offer a new perspective on risk identifications in the context of building adaptive reuse in Malaysia.
