There are important things that can increase the productivity of MSMEs, one of which is entrepreneurial orientation. MSMEs in Indonesia which have an entrepreneurial orientation are still low compared to other countries. Characteristics are determined by several factors inherent in the business owner or can be determined by limitations or sizes inherent in the stage of business development. The shortcomings of MSME actors in Indonesia can be caused by a lack of resources such as money, time, knowledge, and expertise. entrepreneurial orientation is very supportive of the performances of business people or MSMEs. The purpose of this study is to find out how entrepreneurial orientation can be an effort to improve marketing performance, especially for MSMEs. This study uses a descriptive narrative method where the main explanation focuses on the results of the analysis and discussion of theories that are in accordance with the research problem. Entrepreneurial orientation has significant and insignificant implications for the marketing performance of SMEs. Based on the results of the research, entrepreneurial orientation has positive implications for marketing performance. Almost all previous studies say that entrepreneurial orientation has a significant effect on marketing performance. However, if you look deeper, some studies still suggest that entrepreneurial orientation does not have positive implications for marketing performance.

A thin layer is a very thin layer of material (organic, inorganic metal or a mixture of organic metals) which has the properties of a conductor, a semiconductor, a superconductor or an insulator. CoFe2O4 nanoparticles are very popular materials to be developed in the field of electricity and magnetism because they have cubic magnetocrystalline properties and high coercivity properties, as well as medium saturation magnetization. Sol-gel is one of the techniques in the manufacture of thin films that involves chemical processes in the form of hydrolysis and condensation reactions. Sol-gel dip coating is a technique for making a thin layer that has several advantages, namely a simple method, easy, few precursors so that it saves production costs and does not damage the environment. XRD test results of a 0.20 M CoFe2O4 thin layer found a peak in the 2Ө 18.1152 region with a diffraction pattern (111). The highest UV-Vis absorbance peak at a wavelength of 285 nm was 2.5423 A and the lowest bandgap value was 2.79 eV. The resistance value is 6.46 and the resistivity value is 0.00016225 m.

Published: June 2023

Self-assembly films have demonstrated an efficient method to functionalize the surfaces of variously different materials. In this work, we preliminarily explored the modification effect of 10,12-pentacosadiynoic acid (PCDA) on the optical properties of monolayer molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) grown on a rutile titanium dioxide (r-TiO2) (110) single crystal surface. Atomic force microscopy (AFM) characterizations directly revealed that the PCDA molecules self-assemble into the same lamella structure as on pure MoS2, which can be further polymerized into conductive polydiacetylene (PDA) chains under ultraviolet light (UV) irradiation. Detailed photoluminescence (PL) measurements observed clearly increased luminescence of negative trions (A−) yet decreased total intensities for MoS2 upon adding the PCDA assembly, which is further enhanced after stimulating its polymerization. These results indicate that the PCDA assembly and its polymerization have different electron donability to MoS2, which hence provides a deepened understanding of the interfacial interactions within a multicomponent system. Our work also demonstrates the self-assembly of films as a versatile strategy to tune the electronic/optical properties of hybridized two-dimensional materials.

Published: June 2023

The study aims to identify the states & districts having higher HIV incidence rates. The data on HIV/AIDS in the Health Management Information System (HMIS) web portal has been used for the study. The result suggests the incidence of HIV at the Indian level was found to be 0.26 percent. At the sub-national level, Daman & Diu (2.4%) followed by Telangana (1.3%), Uttar Pradesh (0.9%), Bihar (0.6%), Gujarat (0.6%), and Andaman & Nicobar Islands (0.5%) have higher incidence rate than the national average. Subsequently, districts from several states like Uttar Pradesh, Telangana, Gujarat, Bihar, Nagaland, etc., show a higher incidence rate than the national level. Particularly, Medak (17.8%) and Chhotaudepur district (10.3%) of Gujarat; Nalanda (9.7%) of Bihar; Peddapalli (6.9%) of Telangana; Etah (6.4%) and Mirzapur (5.5%) from Uttar Pradesh. The study concludes that there is a need to address the commoving and increasing trend in HIV incidence in these states as they are densely populated with poor health services and less socio-economic developed States. So, the information, education, and communications programs on HIV should be strengthened in the states having a higher number of persons with HIV. The district-level planning and monitoring of the programs may help to arrest the rising incidence in the socio-economically poor states of India before it’s too late.

Authors: S.O. Adams , D.A. Obaromi , A. Ibrahim
Published: June 2023

Aim: Nigeria's population density and other factors like confirmed, admitted, and discharged cases have adversely impacted health behaviors and the management of the COVID-19 pandemic. This study aims to investigate how population, population density, confirmed, admitted, and discharged cases affect the prevalence of the COVID-19 pandemic in the 36 states of Nigeria, including the FCT. Method: The number of COVID-19-related deaths, confirmed, admitted, and discharged individuals, from June 20, 2021, to December 31, 2022, were extracted from the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) online database, while data set on the Nigeria population and density were collected from Nigeria’s National Population Commission (NPC) website. Three count data regression techniques; Poisson, Negative Binomial, and Generalized Poisson Regression models were employed to analyze these count data. Result: It was found that the number of admitted patients has a significant negative impact on COVID-19, whereas the number of confirmed laboratory COVID-19 cases has a significant positive effect on the number of deaths related to COVID-19. Additionally, the result showed that Nigeria's COVID-19 death rate is negatively impacted by discharged cases, population, and population density. Conclusion: It is inferred that the Generalized Poisson Regression model is the most suitable count data regression model for over-dispersion and is the best model for predicting the number of COVID-19-related deaths in Nigeria between June 20, 2021, and December 31, 2022.

Published: June 2023

Tibial plateau fractures are usually associated with soft tissue injury. This study aimed to use the extent of joint depression and lateral widening in computed tomography (CT) to predict the soft tissue injury accompanying fractures.The study included 23 patients with type Arbeitsgemeinschaft für Osteosynthesefragen-classified 41B fractures. Demographics, mechanism of injury, age, gender, and injury sites were assessed. Post-traumatic radiography, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and CT were obtained. MRI evaluated the meniscal, cruciate, and collateral ligament injuries, and CT measured the extent of joint depression and lateral widening in millimeters using digital imaging software. The relationship between joint depression, lateral widening, and soft tissue injuries was statistically analyzed. Of the 23 patients, 17 (74%) were males and 6 (26%) were females. Lateral meniscus injuries increased and the risk of bucket handle lateral meniscus tears increased as the CT joint depression exceeded 12 mm (p < 0.05). Joint depression of <5.9 mm was associated with medial meniscus injury (p < 0.05). The mean distribution examination of all soft tissue injuries and joint depression revealed no statistically significant difference between the groups (p ? 0.05). Increased joint depression in lateral tibial plateau fractures increases the risk of lateral meniscus bucket handle tear, and decreased joint depression increases the risk of medial meniscus injury. Accordingly implementing the treatment plan and patient management will improve the clinical outcomes.

Published: June 2023

The UK National Joint Registry(NJR) has not reported total knee replacement (TKR) survivorship based on design phi- losophy alone, unlike its international counterparts. We report outcomes of implant survivorship based on design phi- losophy using data from NJR’s 2020 annual report. All TKR implants with an identifiable design philosophy from NJR data were included. Cumulative revision data for cruciate-retaining(CR), posterior stabilised(PS), mobile-bearing(MB) design philosophies was derived from merged NJR data. Cumulative revision data for individual brands of implants with the medial pivot (MP) philosophy were used to calculate overall survivorship for this design philosophy. The all-cause revision was used as the endpoint and calculated to 15 years follow-up with Kaplan-Meier curves. 1,144,384 TKRs were included. CR is the most popular design philosophy (67.4%), followed by PS(23.1%), MB (6.9%) and least commonly MP (2.6%). MP and CR implants showed the best survivorship (95.7% and 95.6% respectively) at 15 years which is statistically significant at, and beyond, 10 years. Observed survivorship was lower at all time points with the PS and MB implants (94.5% for both designs at 15 years). While all design philosophies considered in this study survive well, CR and MP designs offer statistically superior survivorship at and beyond 10 years. MP design performs better than CR beyond 13 years yet, remain the least popular design philosophy used. Publishing data based on knee arthroplasty design phi- losophy would help surgeons when making decisions on implant choice.

The Body Mass Index (BMI) is a well-known tool for measuring normal, healthy weight. Nowadays, we can also use it as a prognostic factor for various diseases. Purpose: Our study aims to confirm or decline the correlation between body mass index and the onset of different diseases. Methods: The study was conducted among a random sample of 550 people (324 women and 226 men) from the district of Stara Zagora, Republic of Bulgaria. The participants in the study were aged between 18 and 65. The connection between BMI and the occurrence of diseases of different systems has been researched. A statistically significant relationship was found at p<0.05. The statistically significant influence of BMI on the occurrence of diseases is proved by the results of the ANOVA procedure. Results: The results give us reason to believe that not only obesity but also overweight is a risk of cardiovascular disease. This is evidenced by our study, according to which people with the highest average BMI (BMI = 28.72 kg/m2) have diseases of the cardiovascular system. People with a BMI around and above 25.87 kg / m2 often suffer from diseases of the endocrine system, and those with a BMI around 25.60 kg / m2 are at risk for diseases of the musculoskeletal system. Conclusions: BMI would find its daily implementation in the activities of every physician working in every field of medicine. BMI can be used as a tool to predict the onset of disease and a regulator of prevention.

Інтернет надає нам численні можливості для спілкування з іншими користувачами, а отже, спектр його засобів є надзвичайно широким. У нашій статті ми зосереджуємося на мові соціальних мереж, яка стала надзвичайно популярною серед інтернет-користувачів. Сьогодні велика кількість філологічних досліджень присвячена розумінню та аналізу комунікації, а особливо живого спілкування через Інтернет, яке є доступним завдяки численним сучасним пристроям, що яскраво свідчить про високий рівень науково-технічного прогресу. У статті представлені лінгвістичні особливості спілкування в соціальних мережах, а саме паралінгвістичні засоби емотиконів. Комп'ютерна комунікація багатогранна. За масштабами її можна розглядати як масову (спілкування з усім світом), внутрішньоособистісну (спілкування між користувачем і комп'ютером) та групову комунікацію. Комп'ютерна комунікація може бути засобом міжособистісного спілкування (one to the other); формою масової комунікації (one to many) і комунікації відносин (many to many). У мережевому спілкуванні емотикони мають велике значення. Без смайликів були б труднощі з гумором, оскільки іноді повідомлення можуть виглядати образливими, але смайлик в кінці повідомлення все змінює і робить віртуальне спілкування більш насиченим, оригінальним і емоційним. Видимі проблеми та недоліки притаманні смайликовій формі комунікації, яка використовує допоміжні елементи для інтерпретації емоцій за допомогою посмішок. У новому розумінні контексту мережевого суспільства спілкування розвивається подібно до спілкування дітей на тому етапі, коли вони тільки навчилися говорити прості фрази, а більш складні передавати мімікою, жестами та виразом обличчя. Є лише одна суттєва відмінність – дитина не може брехати, як дорослий, який може використовувати образливі смайлики. Наприклад, фальсифікація поганого настрою, завуальована вмілим маніпулюванням словами і набором посмішок.

Published: June 2023

In this study, a new type of deep eutectic solvent was prepared and tested for the selective extraction of nitrogen compounds from model fuels. DES2 was made of triethylammonium acetate [TEA]+[AcO]- and glycerol in a volume ratio of 1:6. The extraction capacity of DES2 was evaluated and compared to DES1a, and DES1b. The denitrification process was carried out at room temperature. The volume ratio of DESs to model fuels were taken 1:1. Obtained results showed, that DES2 was highly selective for all nitrogen compounds (pyridine, quinoline, indole, and pyridine/quinoline mixture) in a one-step liquid-liquid extraction (LLE). The purification rate of the pyridine, indole and pyridine/quinoline mixture was 100, 98 and 88% in one hour. Quinoline showed high-extraction efficiency (92%) in three hours of mixing time. All experiments were evaluated by NMR spectra.
A Comparison of Energy Use in Conventional and Organic Olive Production in Kaz Mountains, Çanakkale, Türkiye
Authors: Dal Hatice , Karaçetin Evrim
Published: June 2023

Agriculture is one of the biggest sectors and energy consumption during agricultural production causes a release of 11 % of greenhouse gasses leading to climate change. Since after the industrialization of agriculture, farming systems shifted towards high-intensity farming, yet in Türkiye, traditional farming methods continue. In this study we compare the energy efficiency of organic vs. conventional olive groves in Kaz Mountains, Türkiye. 71 farmers were interviewed face-to-face in two subsequent years and the energy efficiency of the olive production process was calculated as the ratio of the energy spent during farming to the energy content of the fruit. Fuel use was calculated under the direct energy input, whereas production processes of fertilizer, agricultural machinery, maintenance and repair, human and animal labor were calculated under indirect energy inputs. Here we show that conventional olive production was less energy efficient due to the high indirect energy input during the production of synthetic fertilizers. There was no relationship between the energy input and yield. This study shows that by improving energy efficiency, the technical performance of agricultural systems can be increased and their negative impact on the environment can be reduced.

Türkçe derslerinin temel amacı öğrencilerin dinleme/izleme, okuma, konuşma ve yazma becerilerini geliştirmektir. Öğrencilerin temel dil becerilerinin geliştirilmesinde en sık kullanılan materyal Türkçe ders kitapları ve bu kitaplarda yer alan metinlerdir. Türkçe ders kitaplarına seçilecek metinlerin belirlenmesinde önemli kriterlerden biri metin türleridir. Türkçe Dersi Öğretim Programı’nda, Türkçe ders kitaplarında yer alması gereken metin türleri ve bunların dağılımının nasıl olması gerektiği belirtilmiştir. Buradan hareketle bu araştırmanın amacı ortaokul Türkçe ders kitaplarının metin türleri açısından durumunu ortaya koymaktır. Araştırma, nitel bir durum çalışmasıdır. Araştırmanın inceleme nesnesini 2021-2022 eğitim-öğretim yılında Türkiye genelinde okutulan sekiz ortaokul Türkçe ders kitabı oluşturmaktadır. Türkçe ders kitaplarındaki metin türleri ve bunların ders kitaplarındaki sıklığı incelendiğinden dolayı araştırmada doküman analizi kullanılmıştır. İncelenen her bir ders kitabında 32 metin olmak üzere sekiz ders kitabında toplamda 256 metin incelenmiştir. Metinlerin türleri tespit edilmiş ve bunlar bulgularda tablolar hâlinde frekans verilerek sunulmuştur. Araştırma sonucunda metin biçimlerinin ders kitaplarında dengeli bir şekilde dağıtılmadığı; kitaplarda bilgilendirici metinlerin hikâye edici metinlerden daha fazla yer bulduğu, şiirlere ise oldukça az yer verildiği sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Ayrıca metin türlerinin ders kitaplarında dengeli bir şekilde dağıtılmadığı; blog, dilekçe, e-posta, özlü sözler, sosyal medya mesajları ve karikatür türlerinin kitapların hiçbirinde ana metin olarak yer almadığı; günlük, haber metni/reklam, kılavuzlar, mizahi fıkra, roman ve şarkı/türkü türlerinin ise nadiren yer aldığı tespit edilmiştir. Bazı Türkçe ders kitaplarının Türkçe Dersi Öğretim Programı’nda (2019) yer bulmamasına rağmen film, çizgi film ve belgesel gibi türlere ana metin olarak yer verdiği sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Araştırmada, elde edilen sonuçlardan hareketle bazı önerilerde bulunulmuştur.

Background: The prevalence of oral cancer is particularly high among men, the eighth most common cancer worldwide. Incidence rates for oral cancer vary in men from 1 to 10 cases per 100 000 populations in many countries. Early diagnosis and timely intervention can change the natural history of the tumour. The aim of this study is identify and analyze the Clinico-pathological aspects of oral malignancies by a prospective case series study has been chosen. Methods: This is a prospective study conducted at Department of General Surgery from December 2015 to November 2017. Patients having malignant neoplasm of lip, cheek, alveolus, tongue, floor of mouth and hard palate were included. Thorough examination of oral cavity was done and site of growth was noted. Results: Squamous cell carcinoma was more common in 50 – 59 years (n=19) and Adenoid cystic carcinoma was also more common in 40 – 49 years (n=2). All the lesion present in age of above 50 years were of squamous cell carcinoma. Among male patients, most common type of lesion was Ulcerative (63.9%) followed by infiltrating (27.8%) but among females, most common type of lesion was ulcerative (78.6%) followed by infiltrating (14.3%) and papillary (7.1%) and this association of gender with type of lesion is found to be statistically not significant. Conclusions: Clinical presentation varied according to the age group, whereas Lymph node status varied significantly according to size and depth of infiltration of lesion.
Radiological study of splenosis: A great mimicker of tumor a literature review with case reports
Authors: Maram M Fathi Ahmed  , Esra Salam Mohamed Ali
Published: June 2023

Splenosis is a harmless condition after a splenic injury or a spleen removal. It is heterotopic autotransplantation of splenic tissue seen inside the abdominal and pelvic holes. On imaging, various conditions can be differential diagnosis with splenosis, including metastatic infection, peritoneal carcinoma, peritoneal mesothelioma, stomach lymphoma, renal disease, hepatic adenomas, or endometriosis, dependent on its transmission. This review aims to increase public knowledge of this condition to avoid needless biopsies, surgeries, or treatments. Methods: We searched the PubMed and Scopus databases for relevant literature from 2002 through 2022 using the Medical Subject Headings Splenosis, Radiological, and Radionuclide diagnostic tools. In total, Thirty-five cases of splenosis were identified and reviewed. Conclusion: Splenosis should always be considered a differential diagnosis for soft tissue nodules in the abdomen and pelvis in patients with splenic surgery or trauma, especially without systemic symptoms. The literature documented only a few examples of splenosis, along with the radiologic features of these lesions. We review instances of splenosis identified by Scintigraphy, magnetic resonance imaging, computed tomography, and ultrasound. Our research expects this review to be considered a unique to compare the diagnosis made by radiologic and Radionuclide testing without any other form of treatment.
Al 2024 Alaşımı Üzerine Mikro Ark Oksidasyon Yöntemiyle B4C İlaveli Kompozit Kaplamaların Büyütülmesi
Authors: ŞÜKÜROĞLU Süleyman
Published: June 2023

Al alaşımı üzerinde Mikro ark Oksidasyon (MAO) yöntemiyle büyütülen kaplamaların yapısı ve özellikleri üzerine Bor karbür (B4C) katılmasının etkisi, sodyum fosfat, sodyum silikat ve potasyum hidroksitten oluşan bir çözelti içerisinde gerçekleştirilerek araştırılmıştır. MAO, B4C parçacıkları eklenmiş ve eklenmemiş çözeltilerde Al 2024 alaşımı üzerine uygulanmıştır. MAO kaplamalarının faz bileşimi ve mikro yapısı X-ışını kırınımı difraktometresi (XRD) ve taramalı elektron mikroskobu (SEM) kullanılarak değerlendirilmiştir. Ayrıca kaplamaların, mikrosertlik değerleri mikrosertlik test cihazı kullanılarak tespit edilmiştir. Al alaşımı üzerindeki oksit kaplamaların birincil olarak γ- Al2O3'ten oluştuğu gözlenmiştir. Solüsyona ilave edilen B4C partiküllerinin eklenmesi, MAO kaplamalarının Al alaşımları üzerindeki oluşum hızını ve kompaktlığını iyileştirdiği ve X-ışını kırınımı yoluyla kaplamalarda B4C varlığı tespit edilmiştir. Yüksek sertlik ve iyi kimyasal stabiliteye sahip B4C parçacıkları, MAO kaplamalarında eşit olarak dağıldığı gözlenmiştir. Bu nedenle, B4C takviyeli MAO kaplamaların sertlik değeri, Al alaşımları üzerindeki B4C ilave edilmeyen oksit kaplamalardan belirgin şekilde yüksek olduğu gözlenmiştir.
Threatened corneal graft rejection and ocular inflammation after SARS-CoV-2 infection and influenza vaccine
Authors: H Dolinko Andrew , Maleki Arash , Stephen Foster Charles
Published: June 2023

Introduction: To report the case of an individual who developed autoinflammation after contracting Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) and receiving an influenza vaccination.

Case Report: A 61-year-old woman presented to us after two episodes of recurrent, acute, partial-thickness corneal graft rejection; the first of these began five months after Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection and shortly after influenza vaccination. Best corrected visual acuity was 20/20 in both eyes, and anterior chambers showed no evidence of inflammation. Fluorescein angiogram revealed disc staining in both eyes, and B-scan showed chorioretinal thickening in the left eye. She was diagnosed with posterior scleritis of the left eye and started on naproxen 500 mg twice daily with acyclovir 400 mg daily. This treatment regimen allowed her pain to resolve. Serology showed evidence of systemic inflammation with elevated antinuclear antibodies (ANA), and ocular inflammation was controlled with systemic immunomodulatory therapy.

Conclusion: Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 infection may induce a long-term, systemic autoinflammatory state that may be provoked by further immune challenges, such as influenza vaccination, resulting in ocular inflammation.

Authors: Shahryari Mohammad
Published: June 2023

We define a topo-system on a group as a set of subgroups satisfying certain topology-like conditions. We study some fundamental properties of groups equipped with a topo-system (topo-groups) and using a suitable formalization of a subgroup filter, we prove a Tychonoff type theorem for the direct product of topo-compact topo-groups.
Solving Unconstrained Optimization Problems by a New Conjugate Gradient Method with Sufficient Descent Property
Authors: Rahpeymaii Farzad , Rostami Majid
Published: June 2023

There have been some conjugate gradient methods with strong convergence but numerical instability and conversely‎. Improving these methods is an interesting idea to produce new methods with both strong convergence and‎‏  ‎numerical stability‎. ‎In this paper‎, ‎a new hybrid conjugate gradient method is introduced based on the Fletcher ‎formula (CD) with strong convergence and the Liu and Storey formula (LS) with good numerical results‎. ‎New directions satisfy the sufficient descent property‎, ‎independent of line search‎. ‎Under some mild assumptions‎, ‎the global convergence of new hybrid method is proved‎. ‎Numerical results on unconstrained CUTEst test problems show that the new algorithm is ‎very robust and efficient‎.
Az önkéntesség fejlődése Ukrajnában és Kárpátalján két esettanulmány alapján
Authors: Pallay Katalin
Published: June 2023

Az utóbbi időben Ukrajnában jelentős fejlődésnek indult az önkéntes mozgalom. Az ukrajnai önkéntesség megerősödését erőteljesen előmozdította a 2022 februárjában kezdődő orosz invázió és az ezzel járó társadalmi problémák súlyosbodása. Ebben a helyzetben az önkéntesség és az önkéntesek szerepe rendkívül fontos szerepet kapott. Jelen tanulmány az ukrajnai önkéntesség terén bekövetkező főbb változásokat ismerteti, majd a kárpátaljai önkéntesség fejlődésére fókuszál. Kárpátaljára a rendszerváltást követő években kezdett jellemzővé válni a civil aktivitás. Napjainkban már ebben a régióban is az önkéntes munkavégzés számos formájával találkozhatunk: egyéni civil önszerveződéstől kezdve egyházi szervezeteken át egészen nagy nemzetközi egyesületekig. Jelen írás – az ukrán civil társadalom és az önkéntesség fejlődésének ismertetése után – három különböző kárpátaljai önkéntes tevékenységet végző szervezet működését ismerteti. Az esettanulmány a Kárpátalján tevékenykedő Kelet-Európai Misszió, a Kárpátaljai "Elfelejtett" GYErmekek Segítése (KEGYES) szervezetek önkéntes munkáját mutatja be.

Published: June 2023

The Internet of Things (IoT) encompasses a technological ecosystem that improves the daily lives of individuals by increasing productivity, safety, comfort, health and sustainability. In addition, the IoT brings a variety of benefits to many industries, including increased efficiency, productivity and cost savings. However, the proliferation of IoT technologies has revealed many security vulnerabilities, especially in the middleware layer. In this article, we presented possible attacks on availability of middleware layer messaging protocols. In the research, a comprehensive case study was carried out, especially focusing on the MQTT (Message Queuing Telemetry Transport) protocol. We performed Man-in-the-Middle (MitM), Denial of Service (DoS) and Brute-Force attacks in our experimental environment. The effects and results of the attacks made in cases where the connection to the MQTT protocol is made with a user name and password, and when the user name and password are not used are examined. The results of the attacks that emerged in the different scenarios created were evaluated and the precautions to be taken to protect against the attacks were discussed.
