Peningkatan nutrisi tanaman merupakan perhatian global yang penting dalam menghadapi perubahan iklim karena nutrisi tanaman dan kelembaban tanah saling berkaitan. Namun demikian, sumber daya hara dan air tanah yang terbatas masih kurang dimanfaatkan dan efisiensi penggunaannya masih rendah, meskipun terdapat banyak ruang untuk perbaikan di kedua bidang tersebut. Interaksi antara unsur hara dan air bergantung pada tahap pertumbuhan tanaman, jumlah yang diberikan, dan keseimbangan antara kedua fenomena tersebut. Pengelolaan unsur hara yang efektif dapat meningkatkan efisiensi penggunaan unsur hara dan air. Pengelolaan pupuk yang bijaksana dapat mengurangi erosi tanah lebih baik dibandingkan tindakan mekanis karena hal ini meningkatkan tutupan vegetasi dan menyediakan bahan organik yang memperbaiki struktur tanah, permeabilitas, dan kapasitas retensi air. Pengelolaan air yang efektif dapat meningkatkan ketersediaan unsur hara dan konversinya dari tanah dan pupuk menjadi tanaman. Untuk meningkatkan hasil melalui efisiensi penggunaan unsur hara dan air, kedua sumber daya tersebut harus dikombinasikan agar dapat berinteraksi secara positif. Menurunnya kesuburan tanah, degradasi lingkungan, dan kekeringan telah mendorong penelitian mengenai dampak interaktif unsur hara dan air terhadap hasil panen. Meskipun terdapat keberhasilan yang signifikan, beberapa tantangan masih perlu diatasi untuk meningkatkan efisiensi penggunaan air dan nutrisi. Oleh karena itu, dalam makalah ini, kami membahas teknik untuk meningkatkan efisiensi penggunaan unsur hara dan air dari sudut pandang ketersediaan unsur hara, pergerakan dan distribusi unsur hara, efisiensi penggunaan unsur hara, pengaruh interaktif unsur hara dan air terhadap hasil tanaman melalui pengelolaan unsur hara, kesenjangan, dan prospek masa depan.

Experimental Study on Railway Vehicle Lateral Performance under Different Lateral Disturbance
Authors: Fathiah Mohamed Jamil  , Mohd Azman Abdullah  , Fauzi Ahmad  , Munaliza Ibrahim  , Mohd Hanif Harun  , Ubaidillah Ubaidillah
Published: July 2024

Railway systems are integral to modern transportation, connecting regions and facilitating the movement of goods and passengers. One critical aspect of railway performance is the lateral dynamics, influenced by various external disturbances. In this study, an experiment was carried out to investigate the lateral performance of railway vehicles subjected to different lateral disturbances. The research utilizes an experimental approach and analytical tools to comprehensively analyze the effects of lateral disturbances on railway performance. The double-acting pneumatic actuator was used which acts as lateral disturbance with the five different pressures. Then, the accelerometer sensor was used to record the motion of the railway vehicle including track, bogie, and body, and the data was analyzed in MATLAB software. The primary objectives are to quantify the dynamic responses of railway vehicles under these disturbances and assess the impact on lateral acceleration. Comprehensive data analysis provides insights into the behaviors of railway vehicles in real-world scenarios. Results from this study show high force lateral disturbances can trigger dynamic responses in the train system. This may include swaying, hunting oscillations, or wheel unloading, all of which can affect the overall performance and stability of the train. The lateral acceleration increases when the lateral disturbance increases. Therefore, disturbance contributes to a deeper understanding of lateral dynamics in railway systems, aiding in the development of robust control systems.
Implementation of the KSOR Method for Solving One-Dimensional Time-Fractional Parabolic Partial Differential Equations with the Caputo Finite Difference Scheme Title of Manuscript
Authors: Mohd Usran Alibubin  , Jumat Sulaiman  , Fatihah Anas Muhiddin  , Andang Sunarto
Published: July 2024

This study presents numerical solution of time-fractional linear parabolic partial differential equations (PDEs) using the Caputo finite difference scheme. The discretization process is based on the second-order implicit finite difference scheme and the Caputo fractional derivative operator. The resulting system of linear approximation equations is solved using the Kaudd Successive Over Relaxation (KSOR) iterative method. A comparison is made with the Gauss-Seidel (GS) iterative method through three numerical examples. The results demonstrate that the KSOR method requires fewer iterations and reduced computational time compared to the GS method.

This paper reviews some logical and statistical data on how widely the use of digital payments will impact our economy. At this point, an argument has arisen regarding which (cash and digital money) is more convenient for the future economy. The paper aims to explore economic opportunities in terms of security, efficiency, and transparency. This study will not only reflect the economic benefits of being a cashless economy but also demonstrate the rationale that money management can be simplified through digital payment systems. The paper will talk about some of the shortcomings of the digital payment system and how we can solve them. The research findings confirm that the widespread use of digital money will accelerate our economic growth and also benefit daily life. Using digital payments also has some dangers like adoption and privacy. This paper clearly shows how to handle such problems. This study provides a quantitative argument for positioning digital payments as the beginning of a new economic revolution.
Blindness Detection – A Systematic Research

Published: July 2024

The proposed framework merges Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) with Reinforcement Learning (RL) techniques to enhance blindness detection. GANs generate synthetic retinal images covering various eye diseases, enriching training data and improving generalization. RL optimizes screening strategies dynamically, adjusting decisions based on evolving patient profiles and environmental cues. Empirical evaluations on real-world datasets demonstrate superior performance over conventional methods, addressing data imbalance and fostering adaptable screening policies. This synergistic fusion offers a comprehensive, adaptable, and interpretable approach to early diagnosis and preventive care, highlighting the potential of advanced AI techniques in healthcare.
An Overview of Best Disease
Authors: Lavanya Areboina , Mercy Leona Dasari
Published: July 2024

The German ophthalmologist Friedrich Best named Best vitelliform macular dystrophy (BVD), sometimes referred to as Best disease, in 1905 when he discovered a family with a history of early-onset macular degeneration. A Swedish study assessed the frequency of BVMD to be 2 in 10,000, whereas a Danish examination found 1.5 in 100,000 cases. If a parent with the condition has a kid with an unaffected spouse, there is a 50% chance that the child will inherit the condition from the parent. The syndrome is caused by a mutation in the VMD2 or BEST1 gene found at chromosome 11q12-q13. It is yet unclear how bestrophinopathies pathophysiologically operate. An ionic imbalance in the RPE milieu, which BEST1 gene mutations can bring on, can lead to impaired RPE functions. The best sickness is in five phases. There is currently no recognized treatment for the best sickness. One treatment option for CNV is VEFG injections, either used alone or in conjunction with photodynamic therapy (PDT). Anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (Anti- VEGF) treatments can prevent or reduce the creation of new blood vessels. This can postpone the onset of blindness and slow down the rate at which they leak.
Zilebesiran: The First siRNA Drug Therapy for Hypertension
Authors: Sultana Zeba , Nikhath Faheem Shaik
Published: July 2024

Blood pressure, which includes ischemic heart disease, stroke, and chronic kidney disease, is the leading preventable cause of death from cardiovascular illnesses on a global scale. Worldwide, arterial hypertension ranks first among cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) and has done so for a long time. One of the first drugs to target hypertension using small interfering RNA (siRNA) technology is zilebesiran. Zilebesiran, an RNA interference therapy drug now in development, binds strongly to the hepatic asialoglycoprotein receptor. A therapeutic target for hypertension, it aims to decrease angiotensinogen production by measuring hepatic angiotensinogen messenger RNA (mRNA) quantities. Zilebesiran is a novel, ground-breaking siRNA therapy for the treatment of hypertension that is now in the second stage of clinical studies. How much of it crosses the placenta and whether it might be utilized to treat preeclampsia should be addressed in future research.
Study of Particle Acceleration Using Fine Structures and Oscillations in Microwaves from the Electron Cyclotron Maser
Authors: Sharma Rohit , Battaglia Marina , Yu 余 Sijie 思捷 , Chen 陈 Bin 彬 , Luo 骆 Yingjie 英杰 , Krucker Säm
Published: July 2024

The accelerated electrons during solar flares produce radio bursts and nonthermal X-ray signatures. The quasi-periodic pulsations (QPPs) and fine structures in spatial–spectral–temporal space in radio bursts depend on the emission mechanism and the local conditions, such as magnetic fields, electron density, and pitch-angle distribution. Radio burst observations with high-frequency time resolution imaging provide excellent diagnostics. In converging magnetic field geometries, the radio bursts can be produced via the electron cyclotron maser (ECM). Recently, using observations made by the Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array (VLA) at 1–2 GHz, Yu et al. reported a discovery of long-lasting auroral-like radio bursts persistent over a sunspot and interpreted them as ECM-generated emission. Here we investigate the detailed second and subsecond temporal variability of this continuous ECM source. We study the association of 5 s period QPPs with a concurrent GOES C1.5-class flare, utilizing VLA’s imaging spectroscopy capability with an extremely high temporal resolution (50 ms). We use the density and magnetic field extrapolation model to constrain the ECM emission to the second harmonic O-mode. Using the delay of QPPs from X-ray emission times, combined with X-ray spectroscopy and magnetic extrapolation, we constrain the energies and pitch angles of the ECM-emitting electrons to ≈4–8 keV and >26°. Our analysis shows that the loss-cone diffusion continuously fuels the ECM via Coulomb collisions and magnetic turbulence between a length scale of 5 and 100 Mm. We conclude that the QPP occurs via the Lotka–Volterra system, where the electrons from solar flares saturate the continuously operating ECM and cause temporary oscillations.
Inferring Small Neutron Star Spins with Neutron Star–Black Hole Mergers
Authors: Gupta Ish
Published: July 2024

The precise measurement of neutron star (NS) spins can provide important insight into the formation and evolution of compact binaries containing NSs. While traditional methods of NS spin measurement rely on pulsar observations, gravitational-wave detections offer a complementary avenue. However, determining component spins with gravitational waves is hindered by the small dimensionless spins of the NSs and the degeneracy in the mass and spin parameters. This degeneracy can be addressed by the inclusion of higher-order modes in the waveform, which are important for systems with unequal masses. This study shows the suitability of NS–black hole mergers, which are naturally mass-asymmetric, for precise NS spin measurements. We explore the effects of the black hole masses and spins, higher-mode content, inclination angles, and detector sensitivity on the measurement of NS spin. We find that networks with next-generation observatories like the Cosmic Explorer and the Einstein Telescope can distinguish NS dimensionless spin of 0.04 (0.1) from zero at 1σ confidence for events within ∼350 (∼1000) Mpc. Networks with A+ and A♯ detectors achieve similar distinction within ∼30 (∼70) Mpc and ∼50 (∼110) Mpc, respectively.

The milestone discovery of GW170817-GRB 170817A-AT 2017gfo has shown that gravitational waves (GWs) could be produced during the merger of a neutron star–neutron star/black hole and that in electromagnetic (EM) waves, a gamma-ray burst (GRB) and a kilonova (KN) are generated in sequence after the merger. Observationally, however, EM properties before the merger phase are still unclear. Here we report a peculiar precursor in a KN-associated long-duration GRB 211211A, providing evidence of the EM before the merger. This precursor lasts ∼0.2 s, and the waiting time between the precursor and the main burst is ∼1 s, comparable to that between GW170817 and GRB 170817A. The spectrum of the precursor could be well fit with a nonthermal cutoff power-law model instead of a blackbody. In particular, a ∼22 Hz quasiperiodic oscillation candidate (∼3σ) is detected in the precursor. These temporal and spectral properties indicate that this precursor is probably produced by a catastrophic flare accompanied with magnetoelastic or crustal oscillations of a magnetar in a binary compact merger. The strong magnetic field of the magnetar can also account for the prolonged duration of GRB 211211A. However, it poses a challenge to reconcile the rather short lifetime of a magnetar with the rather long spiraling time of a binary neutron star system only by the GW radiation before the merger.
Effect of Transverse Magnetic Field on Kelvin–Helmholtz Instability in the Presence of a Radiation Field
Authors: Peng Hang , Yu Fang , Huliuta Yauheni , Wei Lai , Wang Zheng-Xiong , Liu Yue
Published: July 2024

The dispersion relation of the magnetized Kelvin–Helmholtz (KH) instability driven by shear flow with zero thickness of the shear layer is derived theoretically based on a set of magnetohydrodynamic equations in the presence of a transverse magnetic field and a radiation field. The influence of the magnetic field strength, the radiation field strength, and the density ratio of the two sides of the shear layer on KH instability is analyzed by solving the dispersion equation. The results indicate that the presence of radiation and transverse magnetic fields can destabilize the KH instability due to the resulting increase in Mach number, which in turn reduces the compressibility of the system. Also, the extent of the destabilizing effect of the magnetic field can be affected by the magnetoacoustic Mach number M
1f
and the Mach number M
2. The growth rates vary more significantly for relatively small values of both parameters. Finally, the stabilizing effect of a large density ratio is considered, and it is found that as the density ratio increases, the effect of the radiation field is more significant at larger Mach number M
2. These results can be applied to astrophysical phenomena with velocity shear, such as flows across the transition layer between an H ii region and a molecular cloud, accretion flows, and shear flows of cosmic plasmas.
Les moines peuvent-ils rire ?

Une critique sociale subversive
Authors: Béjà Vincent
Published: July 2024

Dans cet article, se trouve présenté le texte écrit par Paul Goodman en 1945 qui est à l’origine de la rencontre des fondateurs de la Gestalt-thérapie. Ce texte montre l’importance du souci de transformation sociale qui habitait la réflexion des thérapeutes de cette époque. Jeune théoricien radical et sans expérience clinique, se prévalant d’une certaine lecture de Freud et s’appuyant pour partie sur Reich, Goodman vient interpeller les psychanalystes Alexander, Fromm et Horney. Soulignant la proximité temporelle entre la naissance de cet écrit et celle du livre fondateur de la Gestalt-thérapie, le présent article rappelle ainsi aux praticiens contemporains les forces et les faiblesses de notre théorie gestaltiste mais aussi l’importance de soutenir l’individu quand ce dernier est aliéné par les injonctions sociales.
« Désobéir, c’est chercher »
Authors: Biscarrat Laurent
Published: July 2024

L’idée de désobéissance n’a de sens en thérapie que si on la regarde par rapport au cadre et aux tentatives que nos patients ont de le malmener. Les actes qu’ils commettent et qui vont dans ce sens sont alors des façons de nommer ce qui n’est pas toujours conscient. Le thérapeute a comme rôle de chercher avec eux la signification de ces agissements pour remettre ces derniers dans le processus thérapeutique et leur redonner tout leur potentiel créateur. Malmener le cadre peut donc être le signe d’un ajustement à trouver, d’une impossibilité de travailler ensemble, d’une transgression, d’une rébellion, du ça de la situation qui se révèle à travers les actes d’une personne en groupe ou encore si la désobéissance est du côté du thérapeute, le signe d’une toute-puissance à l’œuvre.
A Low Cost, Online, Computer Controlled Robot Architecture Using a CCTV Network as Sensors
Authors: Gupta Abhinav
Published: July 2024

An important deterrent in deployment of robots in factories across the globe is the cost involved. A rather large part of that cost is the sensors which are also very unreliable and least robust. This paper proposes a cheaper, simpler and more dynamic robot prototype by using the factoryâ??s existing CCTV cameras as the primary sensing equipment. Image Processing and total control of the robot(s) is handled by a computer. Using a server-client model, the robot(s) can also be controlled online. The software for the prototype was developed in MATLAB. This system is easily reprogrammable and deployable in a vast range of situations.
A Flexible Electronics Laboratory with Local and Remote Workbenches in a Grid

Published: July 2024

The Signal Processing Department (ASB) at
Blekinge Institute of Technology (BTH) has created two
online lab workbenches; one for electrical experiments and
one for mechanical vibration experiments, mimicking and
supplementing workbenches in traditional laboratories. For
several years now, the workbenches have been used
concurrently with on-site ones in regular, supervised lab
sessions. The students are encouraged to use them on a 24/7
basis for example, in preparation for supervised sessions.
The electronic workbench can be used simultaneously by
many students. The aim of a project known as VISIR
(Virtual Systems in Reality) founded by ASB at the end of
2006, is to disseminate the online lab workbenches using
open source technologies. The goal is to create a template
for a grid laboratory where the nodes are workbenches for
electrical experiments, located at different universities. This
paper focuses on standards, pedagogical aspects, and
measurement procedure requirements.

The TEI XSL Stylesheets codebase is a tool that tackles the transformation of TEI XML documents to and from various formats. This includes the crucial activity of generating schemas from TEI ODD, the TEI XML–conformant specification format that allows one to write a schema language (for example, TEI P5 itself is written in ODD) or to customize TEI P5 using a literate programming approach. Because of the difficulties of maintaining this current set of stylesheets, a task force was created with the mission of developing, from scratch, an ODD processor that reads in a series of one or more TEI ODD customization files, merges them with a TEI language (likely, but not necessarily, TEI P5 itself), and generates RELAX NG and Schematron schemas. This paper presents a rationale for this task and the initial steps of this work.

Ils donnent avec précision les périodes et les causes (intempéries, vétusté, incendies) des destructions ainsi que les mises en œuvre des restaurations, en détaillant les matériaux, leur origine, les procédés artisanaux, les hommes et les coûts. Mais jamais ils ne n’offrent d’images précises, détaillées et techniques des différents éléments de couverture. A contrario, l’archéologie du bâti fournit ces informations et permet souvent d’établir une typologie des tuiles voire des bardeaux et des lauzes et parfois de leur pose lorsqu’il en est resté en place. Les deux disciplines sont donc inéluctablement complémentaires, l’une fournissant les matériaux, leur forme et par elle les techniques, l’autre les dates, les causes, le nombre et les moyens humains et financiers auxquels s’ajoutent les termes techniques et professionnels utilisés à l’époque.
« The Strangest Transformation Took Place » : parcours, détours et bifurcations dans Orlando de Virginia Woolf
Authors: Marie Caroline
Published: July 2024

Dans Orlando, Virginia Woolf remet en question la métaphore traditionnelle de la vie comme parcours. En empruntant à la pantomime la technique de la transformation à vue, elle délaisse le cheminement linéaire et graduel et dessine un feuilletage temporel, psychologique et mental. En effet, le détour analogique, proche du « montage intellectuel » théorisé par Eisenstein, constitue paradoxalement un raccourci conceptuel. Tel un déclencheur de mémoire, il invite la conscience à parcourir un feuilletage temporel qui évoque la conception bergsonienne de la durée. Le changement à vue permet ainsi une modélisation des rapports de l’être au monde conçus comme un réglage perpétuel. La nature mécanique de la transition spatio-temporelle, en raison de sa connotation déterministe, appelle une articulation avec les concepts de création et de liberté, mettant au jour une profonde affinité entre Orlando et la philosophie d’Henri Bergson.
Le PISA : la stéréotypie d’une évaluation « informative » sur l’École
Authors: Bart Daniel , Daunay Bertrand
Published: July 2024

Lancé à la fin des années 1990, le Programme international pour le suivi des acquis des élèves (PISA) s’est imposé comme une référence centrale dans le domaine des évaluations institutionnelles scolaires. Les données, résultats ou classements du PISA, se retrouvent ainsi largement repris dans les débats scientifiques, politiques, médiatiques ou pédagogiques. À partir d’une analyse d’un corpus de textes du Programme, cet article montre cependant que sa visée informative peut être questionnée sous l’angle des stéréotypes sur l’École et ses acteurs que le discours du PISA contribue à construire.
L’enquête PIRLS : comment l’analyse de réponses aux questions ouvertes permet-elle de définir des obstacles cognitifs à l’apprentissage de la lecture experte utiles pour la formation des enseignants ?
Authors: Schillings Patricia , Leyh Olivier , Dejaegher Charlotte , André Marine
Published: July 2024

Cette contribution explicite la manière dont les résultats de l’enquête PIRLS ont été approfondis pour être restitués aux acteurs de terrain. Des analyses d’erreurs ont été menées à partir des réponses d’élèves belges francophones afin de créer une typologie de réponses erronées. L’intention des auteurs est de donner à voir aux enseignants et à leurs formateurs non seulement l’écart avec l’attendu, mais aussi l’activité de réponse aux questions et les obstacles cognitifs rencontrés par les élèves pour mettre en œuvre les démarches de compréhension visées par certaines questions de l’épreuve.
Impact(s) des technologies numériques en période de crise : cas du conflit à Mango, Togo
Authors: Yao Namoin
Published: July 2024

La ville de Mango située dans la région septentrionale du Togo a été le théâtre d’une crise dont les médias ont largement fait écho au mois de novembre 2015. Au cours de ces évènements, on a observé une grande mobilisation des populations riveraines et des natifs de cette localité résidant à Lomé. Cet article s’intéresse à la manière dont ils ont interagi avec ces différents outils (internet et téléphonie mobile), les finalités et l’impact de ces usages dans la résolution de cette crise. L’analyse de ces évènements à travers la couverture médiatique de la presse écrite et les différents outils ont révélé des déficits communicationnels au niveau de la conduite de ce projet. Elle a surtout permis d’inscrire les usages dans un contexte social caractérisé par des pesanteurs politiques déterminant la résolution de ce conflit.
Erasing Digital Footprints as a Means of Confidentiality Preservation and Balancing the Public's Informational Interest
Authors: Ghosh Diya Sarkar , Mukherjee Arindam , Pradhan Tulishree
Published: July 2024

The implementation of general data protection regulation (GDPR) and the Facebook-Cambridge Analytica incident marked a significant turning point in the public sentiment over the matters of democracy and individual rights to confidentiality preservation. These particulars have garnered heightened attention in response to recent advancements on the enforcement of the right to erasure (or the “right to be forgotten”). Correspondingly, problems surrounding the right have spurred debate over the extraterritorial application of the EU law as well as over striking optimal balance between individual's data autonomy and other rights in global context. In the chapter, the author addresses these issues and investigates the constitutionality of erasing digital footprints. This chapter delves into the right to erasure under the GDPR and how it has prompted legal reactions in countries beyond the European Union.
Russell’s viper (Daboia russelii) in the Jaffna peninsula, Sri Lanka bears signatures of incipient genetic divergence from the South Indian population

The Russell’s viper (Daboia russelii) is a medically important viper found in South Asia, including Sri Lanka. This study focused on the phylogeny of Russell’s vipers in the geographically segregated coastal peninsula of Jaffna, Sri Lanka. The study aimed to find out whether the specimens collected in Jaffna are different from previously reported forms since such an investigation has not been carried out so far specifically in this area, and to find out whether geographical segregation has had an impact on it. We obtained mtDNA sequences of samples representing six geographical locations in the Jaffna peninsula for the mitochondrial protein-coding genes Cytb(576bp) and ND2(270bp). Our molecular analyses recovered two distinct clades: D. russelii and D. siamensis. The clade of D. russelii comprises two sister lineages, Pakistan and India/Sri Lanka. The uncorrected pairwise Cytb genetic distance between the species range from 5.0 to 14.5 percent. The current study confirms a sister group relationship between the Indian/Sri Lankan lineage and the Pakistani lineage of the Russell’s viper (D. russelii). Additionally, it discloses the presence of an incipient genetic divergence between Russell’s viper populations in Jaffna and South India.
Kannaland - 'n verdwene streeknaam
Authors: Appel A.
Published: July 2024

In 1752 the name Kannaland appeared for the first time on a Map, that of the Beutler expedition. Ten years later it was already a generally accepted geographical reference. Although diversely spelt, the name seems to be derived from the ganna (lye-bush), also called seepganna, a plant well known at that time in the Karroo regions. Kannaland was at no stage accurately demarcated and the name referred to larger or smaller parts of the present Little Karroo. Thus, despite its popularity among the colonists in the second half of the eighteenth century, the name was never applied officially by the government or the church.
Municipal hawking: Johannesburg's mobile markets, 1944-1952
Authors: Pirie G.H. , Rogerson C.M.
Published: July 2024

The period 1944 - 1952 saw the rise and fall of the mobile markets of Johannesburg, an experiment in municipal food hawking. The scheme was an attempt to counter the high food prices of the period. Much controversy surrounded the introduction of the mobile food vans. At first the vans served the lower-income areas of White Johannesburg but later geographically extended their zone of operation into higher income suburbs. At the peak of the programme, seven vans were in action. The decline of the mobile markets was attributed to their high operating costs, a precipitous fall in consumer patronage, intense competition from private retailers and hawkers, and to the return of more normal marketing conditions after the war.
Die klein dorp in verval
Authors: Van der Merwe I.J.
Published: July 2024

The decline of the small town in the South African countryside has reached a critical stage. This is reflected in the shrinking White population figures and is detrimental to the internal structure and functioning of these towns as far as services, facilities, the basis of their economies and their socio-economic population composition are concerned. This situation is the cumulative result of an obsolete reason for the existence of some towns in a changed technological milieu, the migration of the population from the countryside to the cities, and the incompetent state of some towns. Although an instant solution is not available, several approaches to this complex problem are possible. Different levels of towns could be identified before taking differentiated remedial action. It is also possible to follow up the slight signs of revival in non-metropolitan areas by using extensive development aid to guide main and subsidiary towns into vital regional centres. It should, however, be taken into account that not all towns will advance this process - some will inevitably be subjected to progressive decline in order to save the region as a whole.

Proposed Mechanisms for the Relationship between Periodontal Diseases and the Severity of Covid-19: Common Pathogens, Inflammatory Mediators, and Risk Factors
Authors: Keykha Elham , Khodadadifard Leila , Moosavi Mahdieh-Sadat , Fathi Yaser , Hajisadeghi Samira
Published: July 2024

Periodontal disease (PD) is a chronic inflammatory disease with some cytokine involvement, associated with several risk factors such as diabetes, obesity, etc., Corona Virus Disease 2019 (COVID-19), a new viral infection, also appears to be related to cytokine storm and similar risk factors. In this review, we intend to evaluate the possible relationship between PD and COVID-19. For data collection, English literature was searched in databases including PubMed and Google Scholar. The keywords searched were COVID-19, SARS-CoV-2, PD, respiratory Impact of Oral pathogens on respiratory diseases: Epidemiological studies indicated that oral pathogens are related to acute and chronic lung disease, and dental plaque is a likely reservoir for respiratory pathogens. Viral presence in the periodontal pocket: SARS-CoV-2 may be released from infected periodontal cells into periodontal pockets. Common inflammatory mediators: Several studies showed that the serum levels of interleukins (IL)-1, 6, 17, etc., increase in most patients with severe COVID-19. C-reactive protein (CRP) and endothelin 1(ET-1) may also be related to COVID-19 progression, and these mediators also increase in periodontitis. Common risk factors: Due to studies, diabetes mellitus (DM), obesity, aging, and male sex are the most important risk factors common between PDs and COVID-19 and may affect treatment outcomes and prognosis. PD seems to play a significant role in exacerbating COVID-19 and even affects the mortality rate of disease.
Comparison of Histological Chorioamnionitis in Pre-Term Delivery with and without Pre-Term Rupture of Membrane
Authors: Shahshahan Zahra , Zarean Elahe , Jahanfar Samaneh , Hedayat Pegah
Published: July 2024

Background:

Histological chorioamnionitis (HCA) is a histologic response to intra-uterine inflammation that is usually confirmed by pathology examination after pre-term delivery and characterized by acute granulocyte infiltration into the fetal-maternal or fetal tissues. This study aimed to compare the HCA in pre-term delivery with and without pre-term rupture of membrane for assessment of its role on early neonatal outcomes and fetal heart rate patterns.

Materials and Methods:

This case-control study was conducted on placenta, chorionamnion, and cord of 100 cases with and without pre-term rupture of membrane between 28 0/7 and 36 6/7 weeks delivered between March 2018 and February 2021. The kind of delivery, gestational age, neonatal intensive care unit admission, a 5 min Apgar score <7, and fetal heart rate patterns in two groups with and without HCA were assessed.

Results:

The odds ratio (OR) for HCA was adjusted for fetal heart rate patterns, gestational age, and delivery mode (vaginal delivery or cesarean section). Vaginal delivery, gestational age, neonatal intensive care unit admission, and a 5 min Apgar score <7 were associated with HCA [OR: 2.4, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.2–9.5, P < 0.05; OR: 0.8, 95% CI: 0.5–1.1, P < 0.05; OR: 1.1, 95% CI: 0.6–2.1, P < 0.05; and OR: 0.9, 95% CI: 0.7–1.3, P < 0.05), respectively. However, there were no specific fetal heart rate patterns associated with HCA.

Conclusion:

Placental histology examination in pre-term infants with low Apgar scores may be useful to investigate the association between neonatal complications in pre-term delivery and asymptomatic chorioamnionitis.
The Relationship Between Iron and Zinc Deficiency and Aphthous Stomatitis: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Authors: Torabinia Nakisa , Asadi Saba , Tarrahi Mohammad J.
Published: July 2024

Background:

Recurrent aphthous stomatitis (RAS) is known as the most common ulcerative lesion in the oral mucosa. Aphthous has an unknown etiology and is considered a multifactorial disease. This study was conducted to investigate the relationship between iron and zinc deficiency and the occurrence of RAS.

Materials and Methods:

This systematic review and metaanalysis was performed according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Metaanalyses (PRISMA) guidelines. Data were obtained through an electronic search in international databases, including PubMed, Medline, Embase, ISI Web of Science, Scopus, Springer, ProQuest, ScienceDirect, Clinical Key, and Google Scholar, and domestic Persian databases, including SID, Magiran, and Iran Medex, until April 2021. New-castle Ottawa Scale (NOS) was used to determine the eligibility of studies by evaluating the title and summary of the articles and a partial evaluation of the full text. Comprehensive Metaanalysis (CMA) software was used for data analysis.

Results:

Initially, a total of 1383 articles were retrieved, of which 941 were duplicate studies. Further, 384 studies were excluded after evaluation of the title and abstract, and 36 studies were excluded after considering the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Finally, 22 articles were included in the metaanalysis. The standardized mean difference value was –0.421 (–0.623--0.20) for iron factor, –0.309 (–0.463--0.154) for iron factor in men, –0.483 (–0.375--0373) for iron factor in women, and –0.955 (–0.282--1.628) for the zinc factor.

Conclusion:

In general, the serum iron level (in general, in male and female patients separately) and the zinc serum level in patients with RAS were significantly lower than those of healthy people.
