Eggshells are household waste often found in Pitumpidange Village and thrown away by the community. Eggshells consist of 94% CaCO3, 1% MgCO3, and 1% Ca3PO and the remaining 4% is organic matter which can be processed into environmentally friendly toothpaste. Apart from eggshells, another natural ingredient in toothpaste is betel leaf. It contains essential oils, catechins, and tannins which are polyphenol compounds and can act as an antiseptic and prevent the biological activity of caries-causing bacteria such as Streptococcus Mutants. The purpose of this Community Service is to overcome partners' problems, namely the accumulation of eggshell waste which is a crucial problem at the Karang Taruna Group in Pitumpidange Village. The program also increases the empowerment of partners through the manufacture of environmentally friendly toothpaste by utilizing the village's potential in the form of eggshells and betel leaves. Ten people are participating in this program. The community service implementation method consists of three main stages: counseling, training, and mentoring. A questionnaire containing statements about the partner's knowledge and skills after the program was implemented used to find out the partner's response to the program. The results of the community service activities show that the partners of the Karang Taruna group in Pitumpidange Village can process eggshells combined with betel leaves into environmentally friendly toothpaste. Therefore, this community service supports the implementation of village SDG goals and supports Indonesia in the G20 group (Group of Twenty) in utilizing the natural surroundings through green innovation.
The word nettle as a culturally marked linguistic unit
Authors: Ke Yang , Qun Chen
Published: January 2023

Plant names (phytonyms) are associated with the symbolisation of mankind’s achievements in cognitive studies. The primary function of these lexical units is referential. However, many of them contain additional semantic characteristics in addition to the main (referential) meaning. They perform expressive and cumulative cultural functions reflecting the specific mentality of a particular nation. Some phytonyms have strong national cultural connotations and deserve special attention. For example, one such word is the lexeme nettle. The paper aims to reveal the cultural connotations of this lexical unit. We consider the word nettle as a unit of the Russian lexicon and an object traditionally used in the Russian people’s customs as well as a characteristic element of the Russian oral tradition. The analysis enables us to conclude that the word nettle in Russian has a neutral referential "botanical" meaning, but at the same time it contains extremely negative national cultural connotations. These are most actively manifested in phraseology and folklore texts.

Published: January 2023

Background: To assess the effectiveness of the nurse-led individualised self-care model on myocardial infarction (MI) patients with diabetes. Methods: A total of 120 MI patients were enrolled from May 2020 to December 2021. The intervention group received the nurse-led individualised self-care model (n = 60), whereas the control group only received routine health education (n = 60). The Myocardial Infarction Dimensional Assessment Scale (MIDAS), Coronary Heart Disease Self-Management Behavior Scale (CSMS), Self-Rated Abilities for Health Practices (SRAHP) scale, General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSES), Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), blood glucose and nursing satisfaction in both groups were observed and recorded. Results: The six MIDAS subscales except for insecurity, and all dimensions of the CSMS, SRAHP, GSES and HADS scores, of the intervention group were significantly improved compared to those of the control group (p < 0.05). Compared with the control group (5.69 ± 1.43 mmol/L), the intervention group showed a decrease in the serum levels of fasting blood glucose (4.83 ± 1.57 mmol/L; p < 0.01). Conclusions: Our pilot study provides preliminary evidence supporting the feasibility of implementing nurse-led individualised self-care, suggesting its preliminary effects in improving health-related quality of life, self-care ability, health behaviours, self-efficacy, social support and nursing satisfaction among MI patients with diabetes. However, considering the unblinded and pilot nature of this study, these positive results should be interpreted with caution.

The Impact of Science on Developing Countries Examining the Cost and Ethical Implications
Measuring Democratic Backsliding
Authors: Little Andrew T. , Meng Anne
Published: January 2023

Despite the general narrative that we are in a period of global democratic decline, there have been surprisingly few empirical studies to assess whether this is systematically true. Most existing studies of backsliding rely heavily, if not entirely, on subjective indicators which rely on expert coder judgement. We survey other more objective indicators of democracy (such as incumbent performance in elections), and find little evidence of global democratic decline over the last decade. To explain the discrepancy between trends in subjective and objective indicators, we develop formal models that consider the role of coder bias and leaders strategically using more subtle undemocratic action. The simplest explanation is that recent declines in average democracy scores are driven by changes in coder bias. While we cannot rule out the possibility that the world is experiencing major democratic backsliding almost exclusively in ways which require subjective judgement to detect, this claim not justified by existing evidence.

The Promise and Peril of Mental Health Apps
Authors: Kushlev Kostadin , Harris Maureen , Moon Kibum
Published: January 2023

Mental health apps have the potential to serve as a tool in a comprehensive approach to tackling the declining mental health around the globe. Efficacy trials show that mobile mental health apps can improve symptoms of some disorders, such as depression and anxiety, when compared to no treatment. Little is known, however, about the efficacy of mental health apps compared to standard-of-care treatments. These apps should not, therefore, be used as a replacement for established therapies. Furthermore, efficacy has only been shown in middle-aged adults, but not in youth or seniors, while men and racial monitories are underrepresented in the literature. This makes it difficult to draw conclusions about the efficacy of apps in the very same populations that are underserved by existing mental health services. While efficacious for some, apps have rarely been shown to be effective in the real world beyond the context of carefully controlled studies. Yet, our analyses show that even without any peer-reviewed evidence, hundreds of ‘mental health’ apps are available to consumers and a large number of apps claim to be evidence-based without any peer-reviewed evidence for their efficacy or effectiveness. To protect consumers, regulatory agencies and private companies need to take steps to inform consumers of the effectiveness, or lack thereof, of each app.
The inverse relation of pre-nuclear and nuclear prominences in German
Authors: Roessig Simon
Published: January 2023

The importance of pre-nuclear prominences for focus marking has been largely neglected. Recent studies however present first evidence that the prosody of the pre-nuclear region indicates its status as part of a broad focus or as pre-focal. This study presents a systematic investigation of the pre-nuclear domain and its relation to the nuclear accent in German. The results show that the realization of the pre-nuclear domain indeed depends on whether it is focal or pre-focal: The pre-nuclear noun is characterized by larger F0 excursions, higher F0 maxima and longer durations when it is in broad focus than when it precedes a narrow focus. Furthermore, the realiza-tion of a pre-focal, pre-nuclear domain depends on the following focus: The pre-nuclear noun is produced with smaller F0 excursions, lower F0 maxima and shorter durations before a corrective focus than before a non-corrective narrow focus. The comparison to the nuclear accent suggests an inverse rela-tionship, i.e., the pre-nuclear domain becomes less prominent (i.e., realized with smaller F0 excursions, lower F0 maxima and shorter durations) when the nuclear domain becomes more prominent. The findings suggest that the phonetic manifestation of information structure is distributed over larger prosodic domains and entails the modulation of phrasal prominence profiles rather than just local adjustments of the nucleus.
A real-world retrospective single-centre study of the cost-effectiveness and long-term outcomes of pegylated interferon for chronic hepatitis B
Authors: Congly Stephen E , Syed Ahsan , Haylock-Jacobs Sarah , Israelson Heidi , Pinto Jacqueline , Williams Sarah , Lee Samuel S , Coffin Carla S
Published: January 2023

Background:

Pegylated interferon (Peg-IFN) is recommended as first-line therapy for chronic hepatitis B (CHB) but has significant side effects and is rarely used compared to oral nucleos(t)ide analogues (NA). There are limited recent clinical efficacy or economic analysis data comparing approved CHB therapy in North America.

Methods:

This retrospective study examined clinical outcomes, off-treatment durability, and cost-effectiveness of Peg-IFN versus NA for CHB. Demographic (age, sex, ethnicity), clinical data (i.e., liver tests, hepatitis B virus DNA, serology, transient elastography) and documented side effects were collected by retrospective chart review of patients followed in the University of Calgary Liver Unit who received Peg-IFN therapy from January 2007 to December 2020. The cost-effectiveness of Peg-IFN versus NA therapy was modelled over a 10-year time horizon.

Results:

Sixty-eight CHB patients were treated with Peg-IFN (median age 45.65, 74% male, 84% Asian); 50/68 (74%) completed 48 weeks of treatment with a median follow-up of 6.54 years (interquartile range 5.07). At the last known follow-up, 23/68 (34%) have not required NA treatment and one had HBsAg loss; 27 have been started on NA. Predictors of obtaining a sustained virological response included being hepatitis B e antigen-negative at treatment end and a quantitative hepatitis B surface antigen <1000 IU/mL. Economic modelling showed that finite Peg-IFN was not cost-effective versus NA at a 10-year time horizon.

Conclusions:

PEG-IFN remains a potential treatment for CHB although there is a significant intolerance/failure rate. Using PEG-IFN based on patient preference is reasonable and optimal patient selection may improve treatment cost-effectiveness.

Involving Youth in Empowerment Evaluation: Evaluators’ Perspectives
Authors: Heath Sarah , Moreau Katherine
Published: January 2023

Abstract: Empowerment evaluation (EE) aims to teach program stakeholders, including beneficiaries, how to conduct their own evaluations. This mixed methods research study examined how youth are involved in EE. Phase 1 surveyed evaluators to investigate the involvement of youth in EE of programs targeting youth. Phase 2 interviewed evaluators to explore what factor(s) evaluators perceive as facilitating or hindering the involvement of youth in EE of programs targeting youth. The findings show that, on average, youth were involved in EE activities “to a small extent” or “to a moderate extent” and that a number of factors can either facilitate or hinder the involvement of youth in EE.
New Insights for Tracking and Reporting Milestones

Published: January 2023

Abstract: Despite being a common evaluation metric, milestones are poorly defined, and guidance for their use is underdeveloped in the evaluation literature. This practice note attempts to address this oversight by providing evaluation-specific guidance for tracking and reporting milestones. Using a case study, we share our initial approach to tracking and reporting milestones, as well as how critical reflection guided by the evaluation standards provided us with key insights that allowed us to make improvements to our initial process. We hope this practice note acts as a springboard for elevating the critical dialogue surrounding milestones in the evaluation literature.
Relationship between Exchange Rate and Trade Balance Pre and after COVID-19 – Albania Case Study
Authors: Mehmetaj Nevila
Published: January 2023

This study attempts to identify the relationship between the real exchange rate and trade balance in Albania with its major trading partner Italy. Due to the severe lockdown and restrictions policies in re­sponse to Covid-19 measures, there were important effects on the evolu­tion of trade. Quarterly data from 2008 to 2022 are used in several econo­metric methods such as unit root tests, cointegration techniques, Grang­er test, and vector error correction model (VECM). The main findings of this study are that domestic income and exchange rate show a long-run pos­itive relationship to the trade balances. Devaluation of the domestic cur­rency will improve the trade balance in the long run, consistent with the Marshall-Lerner condition.
Healthy eating index in Iranian infertile men: A cross-sectional study
Authors: Ghiasvand Reza
Published: January 2023

Background: Infertility had an increasing trend between couples in Iran. Some epidemiological studies have reported a relationship between infertility and lifestyle patterns including dietary habits. Our objective was to identify the relation between Healthy eating index and sperm parameters in Iranian infertile men. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional was performed on 400 newly diagnosed infertile men in Yazd Reproductive Sciences Institute from July to December 2019. Men were recruited when their infertility was confirmed by the expert andrologist based on WHO criteria. They delivered a semen sample and answered a 168 items semiquantitative food frequency questionnaire (FFQ).All data were analyzed using SPSS V. 22 software. P-value less than 0.5 considered as significant. Results: There was significant association between sperm density and HEI score tertile in crude model but after adjustment for potential confounders there was not any association. Participants in highest tertile had a higher risk of density and lower risk of motility in crude model (OR =1.69; 95 Percentage CI: 1.00, 2.88; P=0.05 and OR=1.31; 95 Percentage CI: 0.78, 2.21; P=0.29) and risk of density (OR=1.15; 95 Percentage CI: 0.65, 2.03; P=0.63 and OR=1.31; 95 Percentage CI: 0.71, 2.40; P=0.38) and motility decrease in adjusted models (OR=0.86; 95 Percentage CI: 0.49, 1.52; P=0.59 and OR=0.92; 95 Percentage CI: 0.50, 1.67; P=0.74). Conclusions: We concluded that adherence to HEI principles can have a positive effect on men's fertility. However, more research is needed to confirm these relations and provide the evidence needed to exert these findings into clinical practice.

Equidistant and Plebeian- Basal Cell Carcinoma
Authors: Bajaj Anubha
Published: January 2023

Basal cell carcinoma is a frequently discerned, malignant, cutaneous neoplasm arising from inter-follicular or follicular epithelium. The locally aggressive neoplasm is associated with minimal mortality wherein distant metastasis to pulmonary parenchyma or bones is exceptional. Tumefaction is comprised of nests and aggregates of basaloid cells with peripheral nuclear palisading circumscribed with fibromyxoid stroma. Additionally designated as basal cell epithelioma, basalioma or fibroepithelioma of Pinkus, ulcerated nodular basal cell carcinoma was initially scripted as ‘rodent ulcer’. Moh’s micrographic surgical technique is frequently adopted for evaluation of surgical perimeter of tissue samples and is accompanied by superior proportionate 5-year tumour alleviation and decimated reoccurrence. Basal cell carcinoma is commonly discerned within Caucasian population demonstrating Fitzpatrick type I and type II cutaneous subtypes. Middle aged adults are frequently incriminated wherein proportionate tumour emergence enhances with increasing age. A male predominance is observed with male to female proportion of 1.5:1. Incriminated younger subjects demonstrate a female predisposition. Tumefaction arising within younger individuals is associated with aggressive biological behaviour.
Development of inorganic-based nano-electrocatalysts for highly efficient water electrolysis
Authors: Song Hee Jo
Published: January 2023

Polymer electrolyte membrane water electrolysis (PEMWE) is regarded as commercial electrochemical water-splitting technology to produce clean and sustainable hydrogen fuel from renewable energy resources. But current PEMWE system requires the noble metal-based metal, such as Pt, Ir or Ru, as electrocatalysts, which limits the large-scale commercialization of PEMWE. Thus, developing cost-effective and highly active electrocatalysts is important to produce hydrogen fuel on a large scale. In this paper, we introduce our recent works to develop inorganic-based noble-metal reduction or noble-metal-free nano-electrocatalysts for highly efficient water electrolysis through various facile synthetic strategies. First is Pt/MoC hybrid nanoparticles by hybridization of MoC and Pt nanoparticles for noble-metal-reduced HER electrocatalysts. Second is nickel and phosphorus substituted (Co1-xNix)(S1-yPy)2/Graphene ((Co1-xNix)(S1-yPy)2/G) 3D nano-architecture, which consist of self-assembly of 2D nanosheet, by structure-engineering and composition-engineering. Thrid is CoP nanosheets which are self-supported on carbon fabric current collector.
On state and society
Authors:   Institute of Philosophy RAS, Moscow, Russia, Guseynov A. A.
Published: January 2023

The article is based on my speech to the round table in the Institute of Economics of the Russian Academy of Sciences on the report of A.Ya. Rubinstein, R. S. Grinberg, A. E. Gorodetsky “Failures of society in a paternalistic state”. It shows that the presented in this report point of view significantly differs from the traditional and established in the public consciousness understanding of paternalism as a kind of tutelage and of the state as a legitimate form of violence. The authors associate paternalism with public choice, and consider the state as a socially unifying force. They develop the economic theory of the state, the value of which is overcoming the extremes of liberal and class approaches to the question of the role and place of the state in the historical development.
Long cycles, the soviet authority and economists: From the history of discussions of the 1920s
Authors:   HSE University, RANEPA, Moscow, Russia, Mustafin A. R.
Published: January 2023

In perspective of intellectual history, the article studies Soviet discussions on long cycles. The study analyzes in detail the connection between Kondratiev’s economic and epistemological ideas, as well as the connection between the debate on long cycles and the political conjuncture of the 1920s. In particular, the article shows that criticism from L. D. Trotsky and Soviet economists prompted N. D. Kondratiev to turn to the issue of epistemology. The article also shows that we should not take the methodological criticism of Kondratiev’s opponents seriously because they were biased against him. In the mid-1920s, Soviet economists’ negative attitude to the idea of long cycles refl ects the conflict between N. D. Kondratiev and employees of the State Planning Committee, which escalated under the influence of the inner-party struggle. The attention of L. D. Trotsky, in its turn, was attracted to the idea of long cycle in connection with forecasts both attributed to N. D. Kondratiev and those formulated by him. The article publishes a previously unknown forecast, declared by N. D. Kondratiev in 1926, about the upcoming economic crisis and the dynamics of military and social conflicts at the turn of the decades.

Fungal diseases of wheat are widely studied due to economic importance at global scale. Nevertheless, incorrect
names of diseases and respective pathogen species, as well as inaccurate indication of their practical significance, is
found in in the scientific literature. This may lead to confusion and misinterpretation of the phytosanitary situation. This
review collects and structures the information about the main wheat diseases and pathogenic fungi causing them, as well
as species emerging as a potential threat to wheat crops. The modern taxonomic status of the fungal species associated
with different organs of wheat is given, their geographical distribution and the impact on the crop yield are characterized.
Micromycetes are divided into three groups according to their phytosanitary significance. The first group is represented
by fungi possessing great importance as pathogens causing the 25 main wheat diseases. The second group includes three
diseases not found in Russia but significant for wheat production in other countries, thus posing potential risk for Russian
grain farming. The third group consists of fungi causing 29 minor and poorly studied diseases with unverified harmfulness
and controversial significance, for which the available data needs to be reviewed and confirmed. This dataset can be used
as a reference for a more accurate and correct description of the phytosanitary situation. The review will also be helpful for
more targeted studies using molecular methods to determine the area of fungi that cause wheat diseases, to track changes
in their distribution boundaries and to clarify the harmfulness of poorly studied species.

Background: The number of bacteria is important as much as the type of it in developing wound infection. Pressurized irrigation of the surgical wound leads to decrease bacterial number which led to decrease incidence of wound infection.Objective: to evaluate effectiveness of normal saline irrigation and povidone iodine soaking in decreasing the number of bacteria.Patient and method: This was a prospective study of 100 patients who were admitted to Al Kadhimyia Teaching Hospital during the period from May 2012 and April 2013 with diagnosis of acute appendicitis. After appendicectomy was done, patients were randomized into two groups, fifty patients (group one) the subcutaneous tissue was irrigated by 200 ml normal saline. The subcutaneous tissue of the other fifty patients (group two) was soaked by 10 percent povidone iodine solution. Swabs were taken from subcutaneous tissue before and after irrigation or soaking in both groups. All swabs were implanted in special type of agars. The number of colonies appeared represents the number of bacteria that grow under the incubationconditions employed.Results: there was a significant reduction in the number of bacterial colonies in group I; compared to group II.Conclusion: Irrigation of the subcutaneous tissue with normal saline is an effective method in decreasing the rate of bacterial contamination when compared to the use of povidone iodine soaking.

The addition of carbon nanomaterials influences the variety of properties, of cementitious composites. Despite the multiple researches in the topic of properties of the hardened cement materials the influence of the Mutiwall Carbon Nanotubes [MWCNT] on rheological parameters of the cement mortars is not sufficiently described. Research shows that rheological properties of cement mortars with the MWCNTs, determined with the use of Viscometer NT, proved to be strongly dependent on the sonication time and amount of MWCNT, added. Increase of sonication time of MWCNT suspension with surfactant and decrease of amount of MWCNT caused increment in fluidity while yield stress parameter and plastic viscosity parameter decreased.
Participatory budgeting for public involvement in environmental sustainability at a Thai university
Authors: Watson Todd Richard
Published: January 2023

Participatory democracy where the public influences and feels involved in policy making is an ideal in democratic societies. In this paper, principles of participatory democracy are implemented at a Thai university through participatory budgeting focusing on environmental sustainability projects. On a general education course, students generated and proposed projects for environmental sustainability at the university. All university members were invited to vote on which projects should be actually implemented within the constraints of a limited budget. The study focuses on the public’s bases for selecting projects to implement and their reactions to being invited to take part in participatory budgeting. A corpus-informed analysis of the public’s responses shows that participants engaged in thoughtful community-oriented consideration of the projects and were overwhelmingly positive about their involvement. These findings suggest that participatory budgeting is a valuable tool for raising awareness of and promoting involvement in environmental sustainability.
Relación entre tiempo frente a pantalla y actividad física en adolescentes

Objetivo: determinar la relación entre el tiempo frente a pantalla y la actividad física, en adolescentes. Material y método: mediante un estudio descriptivo correlacional, en una muestra de 33 voluntarios de colegi8hos en el periodo de enseñanza media. Se determinó la correlación entre el nivel de actividad física, capacidad física y el tiempo en pantalla. Para las asociaciones se utilizó la prueba de correlación de Pearson. Resultados: existió relación negativa en el tiempo de pantalla en juego (p= 0,001;r=-534) y la frecuencia a exposición de pantalla por semana con el nivel de actividad física (p= 0,000; r=-,748). El tiempo en pantalla para tv. y ordenador por actividades de trabajo o estudio, no tuvieron relación significativa. En la relación inter-categoría, se mostró que a mayor número de horas de ordenador mayor utilización total en horas al día de pantalla (p= 0,000; r=,917). No existieron diferencias por sexo. Conclusión: el tiempo en pantalla, en la categoría de juego se relaciona con una disminución de los niveles de actividad física de adolescentes.

The settlement of molluscs’ larvae of and other biofouling organisms on experimental collectors was studied, with particular reference Great Mediterranean scallop, Pecten jacobaeus. Three types of experimental collector made from vegetable sacks, modelled based on the collectors used in Japan, were placed in four existing fish and shellfish farms located in the Boka Kotorska Bay. The experimental collectors were placed in the periods June–October and June–December 2017 and the period August 2017–February 2018 and monitored after immersion of four to six months, respectively. In total, 18 species of molluscs and also 28 species of biofouling organisms were determined. The most abundant ones found on the collectors were the following shellfish species (68 %) Talohlamys multistriata, Mytilus galloprovincialis, Modiolarca sp., Anomia ephippium and Limaria hians. The most abundant group of biofouling organisms were crustaceans (18 percent) with a species of porcelain crab, Pisidia longicornis, and tunicates (5 percent) with the species Phallusia mammillataand Ascidia mentula. The main target species, Great Mediterranean scallop, was most abundant on collector Type II,with 28 individuals. From three types of experimental collectors used in the process of collecting larvae of shellfish and biofouling species, collector type-I and type-II proved to be a more suitable basis for receiving larvae of shellfish due to the unimpeded flow of sea water that allows their successful growth and development. Species Talochlamys multistriata, were found in great abundance and it could be good candidate to diversify the aquaculture production, thus potentially offering farmers an additional source of income.
