Published: February 2025

Introduction: According to the American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery (ASMBS), the rate of bariatric surgery (BS) increased from 158 thousand in 2011 to 196 thousand in 2015. Lifestyle modifications, such as healthy eating and correct physical activity programs, can improve surgical results. Thus, the most important aspect in the medical management of bariatric patients refers to nutritional management. Objective: It was to carry out a systematic review to list the main approaches and significance of nutritional treatment before and after bariatric surgery, to mitigate the metabolic damage caused by nutrient deficits. Methods: The PRISMA Platform systematic review rules were followed. The search was carried out from August to October 2024 in the Web of Science, Scopus, PubMed, Science Direct, Scielo, and Google Scholar databases. The quality of the studies was based on the GRADE instrument and the risk of bias was analyzed according to the Cochrane instrument. Results and Conclusion: 127 articles were found. A total of 45 articles were evaluated in full and 30 were included and developed in the present systematic review study. Considering the Cochrane tool for risk of bias, the overall assessment resulted in 25 studies with a high risk of bias and 27 studies that did not meet GRADE and AMSTAR-2. Most studies showed homogeneity in their results, with X2=62.5%>50%. It was concluded that the most important aspects of the medical management of bariatric patients refer to nutritional management. Before bariatric surgery, nutritional status should be checked and preoperative weight loss may be attempted. Very low-calorie diets and very low-calorie ketogenic diets are often prescribed in the last few months before surgery. It was observed that the recommendations were gathered to assist in individualized clinical practice in the nutritional management of patients with obesity, including nutritional management. Iron status can be affected by inflammation of adipose tissue and increased expression of the systemic iron-regulating protein hepcidin. The postoperative recommendation for vitamin B12 (cobalamin) should be 350-500 micrograms/1000 micrograms monthly, and postoperative folate (folic acid) should be 1,000 micrograms per day.

Published: February 2025

This study focuses on the design, development, and performance evaluation of a motorized multi-fruit juice extraction machine constructed using locally available materials. The machine comprises two major sections: a chopping unit and an extraction unit, along with additional components such as feed hoppers, an auger conveyor housed in a cylindrical barrel, a juice sieve, and a waste outlet. It is powered by a 1.5 hp electric motor and was constructed at a cost of N170,520. During the performance tests on pineapple, orange, and cashew fruits, statistical analyses using split-plot and Nested experimental designs revealed that extraction speed and feed rate significantly influenced juice yield, with p-values of 0.0148 and 0.0018, respectively. Moreover, the extraction speed had a pronounced effect on extraction efficiency (p-value = 0.0080), while the type of fruit had minimal influence. The model validation using ANOVA and diagnostic plots confirmed the assumptions of normality, the absence of outliers, and constant variance. This affordable, locally fabricated machine offers a practical solution for small- to medium-scale fruit juice extraction, reducing the need for costly imported equipment and enhancing juice production efficiency in local communities.

This study aimed to assess the concentration of Zinc (Zn) in the edible parts of Citrus sinensis, Citrus reticulata, and Citrus limetta irrigated with sewage water and canal water along with different application of fertilizers. Plant, water, and soil samples were randomly chosen from two different locations for metal analysis. Water samples containing Zn contents vary significantly between sites, ranging from 0.501 to 0.737 mg/L. The amounts of Zn in fruit samples ranged from 0.208 to 1.607 mg/kg, where the concentrations of Zn in soil varied between 0.208 to 1.607 mg/kg. The Contamination Factor (CF) values was higher in sewage water as compared to canal water while Transfer Factor showcasing maximum values in C. limetta and minimum values in C. reticulata. hazard quotient value of Zn was ranged from 0.0215 to 0.1661 in Citrus fruits. Consuming citrus cultivated on soil contaminated with Zinc was dangerous. The Zn moves from water to soil, then to fruits, and finally is consumed by humans. Our findings indicated that the presence of Zinc in soil lowers the effectiveness of fertilizers and has health concerns for people. Ultimately, this research offers an extensive evaluation of the levels of Zn in fruit, soil, and water samples, emphasizing possible health hazards and ecological consequences. The results highlight the necessity of focused agricultural methods and water resource management in order to reduce citrus crop stress caused by Zn, guaranteeing environmentally friendly farming methods.

Authors: Rathore Shilpa , Tenguria Dr. Abha
Published: February 2025

This paper discusses contractive mappings in controlled metric spaces and extended b-metric spaces. It starts with setting up the foundational definitions and properties of the mappings of contractive mappings and associated aspects emphasized in terms of their crucial role in ensuring convergence in iterative processes. Investigation is made in controlled metric spaces on how a controlled approach may increase the flexibility and applicability of contractive mappings, specifically in non-standard metrics. This paper extends the ideas developed here further to b-metric spaces where we discuss what aspects of extending the traditional metric framework are affected. Examples and applications show that such mappings have much importance in various mathematical as well as computational contexts. Results obtained contribute to a broader understanding of fixed-point theory and its potential applications in solving complex problems on different areas that include optimization and dynamical systems.

Published: February 2025

The study aimed to investigate the relationship between personality traits, depression and coping strategies among sexual violence victims. A quantitative approach and a correlational research design were used in this study. A sample size of 76 females sexually abused within Kyshero and Heal Africa hospitals was obtained using the sample random sampling technique. Data analysis was done using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 21 and the Pearson product-moment correlation (r) was used to test the hypotheses. Results indicated that only two personality traits, extraversion and neuroticism, were all significantly related to depression. The results further show that there was a significant negative relationship only between neuroticism and coping strategies and that there was a relationship between depression and coping strategies. The study concluded that sexual violence victims with neurotic personality traits are prone to depression whereas those who are extraverted are less exposed to it. Furthermore, the victims with neurotic personality traits are less likely to cope with the abuse. Lastly, the study concluded that the more the victims are depressed, the less they cope with the abuse. Thus, this study recommends that while providing psychosocial support to victims of sexual violence, the individual’s personality trait should be taken into consideration as this relates to how the individual will cope.

O estudo teve como objetivo realizar uma revisão de literatura sobre o diagnóstico da Síndrome de Eagle e do alongamento do processo estilóide através de radiografias panorâmicas, analisando a eficácia dessa técnica na identificação da condição. Trata-se de uma revisão narrativa de literatura. Foram realizadas buscas nas bases de dados PubMed, LILACS e Google Acadêmico, utilizando descritores relacionados à Síndrome de Eagle e ao alongamento do processo estilóide em radiografias panorâmicas. Foram incluídos estudos publicados entre 2009 e 2024, em português, inglês ou espanhol, que apresentaram relevância para o tema proposto. A análise dos estudos mostrou que a radiografia panorâmica é uma ferramenta importante no diagnóstico do alongamento do processo estilóide e da Síndrome de Eagle, apesar de apresentar algumas limitações, como a obtenção de imagens bidimensionais e a dificuldade de posicionamento do paciente. Observou-se que, em muitos casos, o alongamento do processo estilóide é mais prevalente em mulheres e em faixas etárias específicas. Além disso, a radiografia panorâmica mostrou ser eficaz na identificação de diferentes tipos de alongamento do processo estilóide. A radiografia panorâmica é uma ferramenta valiosa na identificação do prolongamento do processo estilóide e na avaliação da Síndrome de Eagle. No entanto, para um diagnóstico mais preciso, exames de imagem complementares, como a tomografia computadorizada com reconstrução 3D, são recomendados.

Carpel Tunnel Syndrome (Healing Hands): A Comprehensive Review
Authors:   D Intern, Pharmacy practice, Krishna Teja Pharmacy College, Tirupati, Andhra Pradesh, a sree R. Harsh
Published: February 2025

This condition has emerged as one of the most common peripheral neuropathies secondary to median nerve compression within the carpal tunnel-an anatomical passageway of the wrist. Carpal tunnel syndrome most frequently presents with pain, numbness, and paresthesias over the hand area innervated by the median nerve. Most studies reporting on epidemiological analyses document an incidence rate between 1–5% of the population, and among females, it tends to predominate especially in obese populations. It occurs most commonly in the 40–60 age range and with a ratio of females to males of 3:1. Common etiologies are flexor tenosynovitis, diabetes, pregnancy, hypothyroidism, and arthritis, among many intrinsic, extrinsic, and neuropathic causes. The clinical tests, along with Tinel's test and Phalen's, are aided by nerve conduction studies and the Levine Questionnaire in assessing symptoms and can thus lead to a diagnosis for CTS. Treatment plans are both non-operative management and operative treatments, which have evolved into various endoscopic as well as minimally invasive surgical operations. Only advances in diagnosis and treatment could help to ameliorate these concerns, whereas deeper roots plague long-term management.

Published: February 2025

The many researches have been analyzing the purchasing concepts and modern terminology. Moreover, it is obvious that there are differences between all companies. No one can follow same strategy, has same financial status and reputation among its customers even by producing product of same specifications and quality. That is why many companies are ready to pay much more money, put more effort and time to improve the purchasing process, evaluate in advance suppliers and all possible risks. In addition, in different companies the actual supplier selection can run in a different way. While for some product it can be a simple record of actions where every step of the formal process may not be required, for another product it can change into a highly complex framework where every step is regulated by professionals. The actual process of supplier selection belongs to procurement strategic decision but in simpler way it can be also performed by purchasing department as automated steps.

Reinforcement parameters in resistance to extinction in humans
Authors:   Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, Reza Morales Diana Elisabeth , Ruiz Méndez David ,   Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, Vega Valero Cynthia Zaira ,   Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México
Published: February 2025

Resistance to extinction refers to the persistence of an operant after discontinuing the reinforcement associated with it. The Behavioral Momentum Theory indicates that an operant is more resistant to change when associated with a component with a greater frequency or magnitude of reinforcement. This has been consistently shown in non-human organisms. However, there are inconsistencies in the results obtained with humans that could be explained methodologically by the type of tasks and the type of reinforcements used in the experiments. The aim of this study was to analyze the effects of varying the frequency and magnitude of reinforcement under a resistance-to-extinction paradigm. Eighteen university students between 18 and 26 years old participated, distributed in three experiments. Results indicated that using a novel experimental task with precise instructions favors individual-level consistency with humans. However, it is important to verify the type of analysis been chosen.

Published: February 2025

Developments in the medical field have opened the opportunity to conduct analyses on a personalized patient level. One of the important analyses that can be conducted is the cellular response to engineered materials, and the most appropriate non-invasive methods are imaging. These images of the cells are unstained brightfield images, as they are acquired from multiparametric microfluidic chambers in the presence of biomaterials and fluids that can change the optical path length over time as the cells’ health state is monitored. These experimental conditions lead to an image dataset with unique illumination, texture, and noise spectrum. This study explores the optimization of supervised cell classification by combining feature extraction architectures and machine learning classifiers, with a focus on applications in biomaterial risk assessment. Brightfield microscopy images of three cell types (A549, BALB 3T3, and THP1) were analyzed to evaluate the impact of Inception V3, Squeeze Net, and VGG16 architectures paired with classifiers including KNN, Decision Tree, Random Forest, AdaBoost, Neural Networks, and Naïve Bayes. Dimensionality reduction using Information Gain was applied to improve computational efficiency and accuracy. Butterworth filters with varying parameters were used to balance the enhancement of image features and noise removal, improving classification performance in certain cases. Experimental results demonstrate that the VGG16 architecture, when paired with Neural Networks, achieves higher classification accuracy as measured by different metrics. The improved accuracy when using Butterworth filters compared to the unfiltered dataset and the differences between various Butterworth filters indicate the importance of optimizing filter parameters for these types of images.
Bilateral axillary lymph node metastasis after radioactive ablation in recurrent papillary thyroid carcinoma: A case report
Authors: Rahmat Beatta Meidini , Irawati Nina
Published: February 2025

Papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) is associated with indolent growth and a good prognosis. PTC has a tendency to metastasize into nearby lymph nodes, and 10% of PTC cases may present with metastatic disease. Axillary lymph node metastasis (ALNM) is an ineffably scarce event in thyroid carcinoma, and it may indicate a poor prognosis, with only a few cases reported in the literature. A 44-year-old woman with a previous history of total thyroidectomy, left radical neck dissection, and radioactive iodine (RAI) ablation was clinically presented with a recurrent thyroid mass, cervical lymphadenopathy, extensive skin involvement, and bilateral axillary lymph nodes from metastatic papillary thyroid carcinoma. Imaging scans revealed metastasis to the lungs and cervical bone. She was managed by completion total thyroidectomy, wide excision for the suprasternal nodules, completion left neck dissection, type 3 modified radical right neck dissection, bilateral central compartment clearance, and standard bilateral axillary dissection. ALNM is associated with aggressive histopathology, extensive locoregional disease, and distant metastasis. ALNM in thyroid cancer is uncommon since there is no direct connection between the neck and axilla; thus, ALNM is a culmination of an uncommon pattern. Risk factors contributing to ALNM include skin involvement, bulky cervical lymph nodes, previous surgery, and radiation. Complete surgical resection is the main therapy to achieve the effectiveness of adjuvant therapy.

Authors: Rahman Karlina Ghazalah , Alimuddin Alimuddin , Indrijawati Aini , Sundari Sri
Published: February 2025

This study examines how to implement distributive fairness accounting in the payroll system of the foundation organization. It employs qualitative research methods with a phenomenological approach. The phenomenological studies utilized in this research are based on the researcher's linkage to examine the phenomena experienced by key informants more deeply. The results indicate that the payroll system in the foundation's organization was not established based on justice but rather due to the capitalist values held by the foundation. Two contributing factors are identified: minimizing costs while maximizing benefits and the familial nature of the organization. Distributive justice accounting presents an alternative for improving the payroll systems of organizations. The fair value applied is based on the Quran, which states that the head of the Education Foundation organization must intend to provide welfare to employees for the sake of Allah SWT. Employees are also expected to apply Islamic work ethics when performing their duties. The findings reveal that the payroll system in the foundation's organization was not created based on justice but rather due to the capitalist values of the foundation. Distributive justice accounting serves as an alternative for enhancing the payroll systems of organizations. The fair value referenced is based on the Quran, which emphasizes that the head of the Education Foundation organization must aim to provide welfare to employees for the sake of Allah SWT. Employees should also adhere to Islamic work ethics while fulfilling their responsibilities.

Comparison of tissue reaction in primary tracheal repair using silk, monofilament absorbable (Polyglecaprone), and multifilament absorbable (Polyglactin 910) sutures (An experimental study on New Zealand rabbits)
Authors: Santi Santi , Wibowo Marjono Dwi
Published: February 2025

Surgical interventions for tracheal trauma include repairing lacerations, reducing and closing cartilage fractures, and performing end-to-end anastomosis in cases of complete transection. One of the potential long-term complications following tracheal surgery is tracheal stenosis. The inflammatory reaction depends on the suture material used, the type of tissue being sutured, and the immune system. Several factors related to the suture material that influence the inflammatory reaction include suture absorbability, the number of filaments, suture size, and tissue reactivity to the suture. This study aimed to compare the inflammatory reaction (tissue reaction) caused by various suture materials in primary tracheal repair in male New Zealand rabbits. This experimental study employed a randomized controlled trial design, conducted on male New Zealand white rabbits. The rabbits were acclimatized for seven days, followed by permuted block randomization, dividing the samples into four groups. After the inflammatory phase (7 days), tissue reactions in the surgical area were examined post-tracheal reconstruction. Data analysis was performed using SPSS software. Each group consisted of six samples, demonstrating homogeneity in terms of age (p = 0.93), preoperative weight (p = 0.87), and postoperative weight (p = 0.88). Macroscopic evaluation showed no wound dehiscence, pus, or tracheal defects caused by suture displacement. Histopathological analysis revealed a significantly different degree of inflammation (p = 0.049) between the two treatment groups. Monofilament absorbable sutures (polyglecaprone) exhibited a lower inflammatory reaction than multifilament absorbable sutures (polyglactin 910) in primary tracheal repair, with silk sutures as the control.

The rising popularity of social media has compelled businesses to rethink their marketing approaches, focusing on engaging a broader customer base by offering value and facilitating two-way interactions. This shift gave rise to influencer marketing as an innovative brand promotion strategy. When influencers collaborate with brands targeting the appropriate audience, they can enhance brand recognition and add significant value to businesses. This study examines how source credibility factors—such as trustworthiness, attractiveness, and perceived expertise—affect consumer attitudes toward fashion influencers and how these attitudes shape consumers’ intentions to purchase and recommend products. The sample comprises 342 followers of a prominent Indonesian fashion influencer, selected using a simple random sampling method. Hierarchical regression analysis, performed in SPSS, reveals that trustworthiness and perceived expertise significantly impact perceptions of influencers in the fashion industry

Pectus excavatum (PE), also known as "funnel chest," is the most common congenital malformation of the chest wall, with historical references dating back to ancient Egypt. This article explores the historical evolution of PE, tracing its recognition, terminology, and medical interpretations over time. Early descriptions emerged in the 16th century, with significant developments in understanding its etiology and treatment occurring in the 19th and 20th centuries. Various hypotheses have been proposed regarding its causes, ranging from genetic predisposition to diaphragmatic contracture and skeletal abnormalities. The surgical treatment of PE has evolved from early attempts at costal cartilage resection to modern minimally invasive techniques, particularly the Nuss procedure. This review highlights key historical milestones, influential figures in the field, and the progressive refinement of surgical interventions that have shaped the current approach to managing pectus excavatum.

Published: February 2025

A very honest confession from Michael H. Hart in his book entitled « The 100 : A Ranking Of The Most Influential Person in History” in this book he places the Prophet Muhammad SAW as the most influential human history. That is the truth, for us as Muslims we definitely believe that in a religious context the Prophet Muhammad was a very influential figure and had a very big name that could not be rivaled by anyone from various sectors. So on this occasion we try to describe how the peak of prophetic civilization was, especially during the time of the Prophet Muhammad SAW, at that time there was often a connection between heaven and earth through him, the idealism of all events also occurred on earth and it was at that time that the peak of prophetic civilization occurred. In this paper we use the library research method, and through descriptive-analytical analysis from several reference sources in this paper we will show the condition of Arab society before the arrival of Islam, then in the Mecca period, and in the Medina period. In the end, we can find that in that period there was the best period, the most ideal period, and the peak of prophetic civilization, so that in the future it would become an example for humans to achieve a good, prosperous and safe social life accompanied by faith in Allah SWT.
Efficient Image Super-Resolution with Multi-Branch Mixer Transformer

Published: February 2025

Deep learning methods have demonstrated significant advancements in single image super-resolution (SISR), with Transformer-based models frequently outperforming CNN-based counterparts in performance. However, due to the self-attention mechanism in Transformers, achieving lightweight models remains challenging compared to CNN-based approaches. In this paper, we propose a lightweight Transformer model termed Multi-Branch Mixer Transformer (MBMT) for SR. The design of MBMT is motivated by two main considerations: while self-attention excels at capturing long-range dependencies in features, it struggles with extracting local features. Secondly, the quadratic complexity of self-attention forms a significant challenge in building lightweight models. To address these problems, we propose a Multi-Branch Token Mixer (MBTM) to extract richer global and local information. Specifically, MBTM consists of three parts: shifted window attention, depthwise convolution, and active token mixer. This multi-branch structure handles both long-range dependencies and local features simultaneously, enabling us to achieve excellent SR performance with just a few stacked modules. Experimental results demonstrate that MBTM achieves competitive performance while maintaining model efficiency compared to SOTA methods.
