Published: June 2024

ABSTRACT

Introduction:

Patients with significant maxillary atrophy who are not candidates for standard implants now have an option thanks to zygomatic implants. Long-term statistics on difficulties and success are, however, scarce.

Methods:

A tertiary care center’s patient data were retrospectively analyzed. Included were patients who underwent zygomatic implant surgery between 2017 and 2022. This research gathered and examined data on follow-up, surgical techniques, complications, demographics, and implant features.

Findings:

There were 100 patients in all. 92% of the implants were successful, and 92 of them survived. Peri-implantitis (20%), soft tissue dehiscence (15%), sinusitis (10%), prosthesis fracture (8%), and infection (5%), were among the biological consequences. In summary, zygomatic implants have the potential to help individuals with severe maxillary atrophy recover, but close observation and effective management of any problems are necessary to maximize results. To enhance patient care and improve treatment regimens, further research is required.

Authors: Paul Moumita , Bhattacharyya Mouchumee , Kalita Apurba Kumar , Sharma Shashi Bhushan , Singh Moirangthem Nara , Kalita Manoj Kumar
Published: June 2024

ABSTRACT

Objective:

The aim is to assess the radiation dose received by the dysphagia–aspiration-related structures (DARS) and radiation-related dysphagia in intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) and three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy (3DCRT) arms and compare the results between both the techniques in patients with oropharyngeal cancer.

Materials and Methods:

A hospital-based prospective approach and histologically proven oropharyngeal carcinoma patients were selected for the analysis. A total of 30 patients were equally allocated to the two treatment arms: Intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) and 3-Dimensional conformal radiotherapy (3DCRT). Patients were treated to a dose of 70 Gy in 35 fractions with or without chemotherapy. DARS comprises superior pharyngeal constrictor muscle, middle pharyngeal constrictor muscle, inferior pharyngeal constrictor muscle, larynx, and esophagus.

Results:

IMRT has shown an advantage over 3DCRT in reducing the dose to the DARS with significant P values (except for the esophagus). The P value of DARS was significant for V30, V65, V70, D50, and D80, whereas the P value was insignificant for V50 and V60. Dysphagia in the 3DCRT arm was higher in grades than in the IMRT arm when assessed with the National Cancer Institute common terminology criteria for adverse events, version 5.0 (CTCAE v5.0) grading system.

Conclusion:

IMRT has an advantage over 3DCRT in terms of the dose received by the DARS, resulting in reducing the incidence of dysphagia. It is improving the quality of life of patients with oropharyngeal cancers.
Effects of JPMR and listening to om chanting on attention and psychological states among university students: A randomized controlled trial
Authors: Jain Nancy , Gupta Ram Kumar
Published: June 2024

ABSTRACT

Background:

Previously, both psychological and yogic relaxation techniques have shown a reduction in anxiety and also an improvement in cognition and mental health. In authors’ knowledge, no study has been conducted to assess the immediate effects of the Jacobson Progressive Muscle Relaxation (JPMR) on attention and psychological states. Hence, the aim of the present study was to assess the immediate effects of the JPMR and listening to Om Chanting on the attention and psychological states, i.e,., (i) happiness, (ii) anger, (iii) emotional stability, and (iv) positivity among university students.

Design:

The research design used in this study is a randomized controlled design.

Materials and Methods:

In the present study, 90 university students with ages 18­23 years (mean ± standard deviation: 21.5 ± 2.3 years) were randomized into three intervention groups, i.e,. JPMR, listening to Om Chanting and quiet sitting (QS) as a control group. The time duration for each intervention was 20 min. Each participant was assessed for (a) attention using six-letter cancellation test and (b) psychological states, i.e,. (i) happiness, (ii) anger, (iii) emotional stability, and (iv) positivity using the Visual Analog Scale, before and after all three interventions. Paired t-test was performed to compare before and after values of each variable of the participants.

Results:

Twenty-minute practice of JPMR improved psychological states such as (i) happiness (p < 0.05), (ii) emotional stability (p < 0.05), and (iii) positivity (p < 0.01). In addition, both attention and anger levels were reduced after 20 min of listening to Om Chanting (p < 0.01, respectively). In addition, QS reduced the attention level of the participants (p < 0.01).

Conclusion:

Findings of the present study suggest that the 20 min of practice of progressive muscle relaxation techniques as a psychological relaxation technique improves psychological states such as the levels of happiness, emotional stability, and positivity whereas 20 min of listening to Om Chanting showed a reduction in the scores of anger and attention.
On a degenerate elliptic problem arising in the least action principle for Rayleigh–Taylor subsolutions
Authors: Gebhard Björn , Hirsch Jonas , Kolumbán József J.
Published: June 2024

We address a degenerate elliptic variational problem arising in the application of the least action principle to averaged solutions of the inhomogeneous Euler equations in the Boussinesq approximation emanating from the horizontally flat Rayleigh–Taylor configuration. We give a detailed derivation of the functional starting from the differential inclusion associated with the Euler equations, i.e. the notion of an averaged solution is that of a subsolution in the context of convex integration, and illustrate how it is linked to the generalized least action principle introduced by Brenier [J. Amer. Math. Soc. 2 (1989), 225–255; in: New trends and results in mathematical description of fluid flows (2018), 53–75]. Concerning the investigation of the functional itself, we use a regular approximation in order to show the existence of a minimizer enjoying partial regularity, as well as other properties important for the construction of actual Euler solutions induced by the minimizer. Furthermore, we discuss to what extent such an application of the least action principle to subsolutions can serve as a selection criterion.

Deep Learning Algorithms for Longitudinal Driving Behavior
Prediction: A Comparative Analysis of Convolutional Neural Network and
Long–Short-Term Memory Models
Authors: Lucente Giovanni , Maarssoe Mikkel Skov , Kahl Iris , Schindler Julian
Published: June 2024

In the realm of transportation science, the advent of deep learning has propelled
advancements in predicting longitudinal driving behavior. This study explores
the application of deep neural network architectures, specifically
long–short-term memory (LSTM) and convolutional neural networks (CNNs),
recognized for their effectiveness in handling sequential data. Using a 3-s
temporal window that includes past vehicle progress, speed, and acceleration,
the proposed model, a hybrid LSTM–CNN architecture, predicts the vehicle’s speed
and progress for the next 6 s. The approach achieves state-of-the-art
performance, particularly within a 4 s horizon, but remains competitive even for
longer-term predictions. This is achieved despite the simplicity of its input
space, which does not include information about vehicles other than the target
vehicle. As a result, while its performance may decrease slightly for
longer-term predictions due to the lack of environmental information, it still
offers reliable predictions and can be applied effectively in scenarios with
partial observability. The comparative analysis of multilayer perceptron (MLP),
LSTM, and one-dimensional CNN architectures highlights the challenges faced by
MLP in capturing the complex nonlinearity of driving behavior. LSTM and CNN
demonstrate superior performance, with model complexity influencing outcomes. No
statistically significant difference is observed in the performance between LSTM
and CNN models.
Livelihood Strategies for Food Shortages during Dry Seasons in Tanzania: A Case Study of the Halali River Catchment Areas in Wanging’ombe District
Authors: Mulungu Christopher Aaron , Msemwa Ubaya Simon
Published: June 2024

This paper examines the livelihood strategies adopted by people in the Halali River catchment areas of Wanging’ombe District, Njombe region, Tanzania, during food shortage. The study employed a mixed research approach, utilising quantitative and qualitative methods. Questionnaires, in-depth interviews, focused group discussions (FGDs) and documentary reviews were used for data collection, involving 310 heads of households and 23 key informants. Descriptive statistics and content analysis were used to analyse data. The results indicate that people in the Halali catchment area adopted various off-farm income-generating activities such as business, carpentry, masonry, pottery, basket making and brewing beer as survival strategies during food shortages. Other sources of off-farm income-generating activities included wage employment, casual agricultural labour and remittances from relatives living far from the basin. It is concluded that most households in the study area were poor and likely to be food insecure due to limited opportunities for off-farm income-generating activities. It is recommended that the government should disseminate knowledge on the availability of reliable markets for agricultural products and the protection of the Halali River catchment areas.

Authors: Msilu Samson , Majule Amos Enock , Perfect Joseph
Published: June 2024

This study investigates the impact of climate change on rainfall and temperature dynamics in Bahi and Mpwapwa Districts , Dodoma Region, Tanzania , over 41 years (1981–2021). The study used historical temperature and precipitation data from the Tanzania Meteorological Authority (TMA). The dataset was analyzed using linear regression and the Mann -Kendall trend test using MS Excel (2010) and SPSS V20. The results indicate slight increases in annual rainfall in Mpwapwa (3.717mm) and Bahi (2.743mm). However, mean decadal precipitation analysis reveals that Mpwapwa experienced a decrease in rainfall during the first three decades , followed by a significant increase in the most recent ten years . Conversely, the amount of rainfall in Bahi remained relatively consistent throughout, except for the last ten years, when there was an increase in precipitation compared to the earlier decade . However , the Mpwapwa district is observing an increase in the number of rainy days, whereas Bahi is experiencing a decrease. Additionally , both districts have encountered a notable rise in both minimum and maximum temperatures . These changes , particularly the increase in temperature and fluctuating rainfall , significantly impact agro-pastoral communities in these semi-arid regions . The study underscores the need for these communities to implement stronger adaptation strategies to mitigate the adverse effects of rising temperatures and changing rainfall patterns.
Addressing the challenges of street children rehabilitation: Insights from Starehe Sub-County, Nairobi
Authors: Weru Margaret Wambui
Published: June 2024

In Nairobi City County, which is the capital city of the Republic of Kenya, there is a major crisis involving street children. Indeed, the number of homeless underage persons in the city is about 70,000, and about 10,000 of them live in Starehe Sub-County. The research is focused on the rehabilitation efforts being made in Starehe. Many of the street children in Starehe have never been taken through various rehabilitation programs, but they ended-up relapsing. In that case, it is apparent that the root-causes of the problem were never addressed in an effective manner. Specifically, these children seem to have no social-emotional skills which would enable them to avoid the life in the streets. They lack self-awareness, social-awareness, self-management skills, have no relationship skills, and are unable to make responsible decisions. The primary study was a narrative inquiry that involved eight respondents. The approach was taken because it is effective when the research is qualitative. The data elicited from the respondents were complimented with the that elicited from primary sources and from rehabilitation centers. The study made some, findings. The study therefore concludes that the high rate of relapse is caused by the failure of a majority of the rehabilitation centers in Starehe Sub-County to utilize research-based approaches while assisting their clients. The application of relevant theories and research-based approaches would help these facilities achieve a much higher rate of success. Such a strategy would help come-up with tailored interventions which address the specific needs of the street children, and also offer guidance and a sense of direction while helping the individuals. Therefore, it is important for the rehabilitation centers in Starehe Sub-County to reevaluate their operational methodologies.

On the Metric Temporal Logic for Continuous Stochastic Processes
Authors: Ikeda Mitsumasa , Yamagata Yoriyuki , Kihara Takayuki
Published: June 2024

In this paper, we prove measurability of event for which a general
continuous-time stochastic process satisfies continuous-time Metric Temporal
Logic (MTL) formula. Continuous-time MTL can define temporal constrains for
physical system in natural way. Then there are several researches that deal
with probability of continuous MTL semantics for stochastic processes. However,
proving measurability for such events is by no means an obvious task, even
though it is essential. The difficulty comes from the semantics of "until
operator", which is defined by logical sum of uncountably many propositions.
Given the difficulty involved in proving the measurability of such an event
using classical measure-theoretic methods, we employ a theorem from stochastic
analysis. This theorem is utilized to prove the measurability of hitting times
for stochastic processes, and it stands as a profound result within the theory
of capacity. Next, we provide an example that illustrates the failure of
probability approximation when discretizing the continuous semantics of MTL
formulas with respect to time. Additionally, we prove that the probability of
the discretized semantics converges to that of the continuous semantics when we
impose restrictions on diamond operators to prevent nesting.

Authors: Stellah Papa Imade , Allan Khisa Wanjala
Published: June 2024

Background: Chronic low back pain is referred to as pain and discomfort around the lumbar region lasting > twelve weeks. It is the commonest musculoskeletal symptom that affects lumbar spine. Pain can be axial or radicular affecting the patients’ daily activities. The severity of chronic low back pain has resulted into social, psychosocial and economic problems and the common reason for seeking medical treatment in primary health care settings. Aims and objectives: The aim of study was to assess the Association between social impact and gender of patients presenting with chronic low back pain at Kakamega County General and referral hospital. Study design: This was a cross-sectional quantitative descriptive study where patients’ data was collected during patients’ presentation at orthopedic outpatient clinic. Methodology: The Oswetry modified questionnaires were hand delivered by the researcher to the participants purposively sampling. Each questionnaire was accompanied by a cover letter to explain the purpose and significance of study and gave assurance to confidentiality. A total of 144 patients were selected using Yamane Taro formula. Psychosocial and disability score sheet derived from Oswetry modified questionnaire was used to assess the social impact of chronic low back pain, specifically addressing the emotional well-being. Descriptive statistics was used to evaluate data while chi square test analyzed level of significance with gender of study participants. Results: In terms of personal care, individuals who needed help but were able to manage most of their personal care had significantly higher odds of being female compared to those who did not require assistance (OR = 13.50, 95% CI = 2.62 - 69.46, p = 0.002). In regards to traveling, individuals whose pain prevented all travel except for visits to healthcare providers had significantly lower odds of being male compared to those who could travel anywhere with increased pain (OR = 0.08, 95% CI = 0.01 - 0.90, p = 0.040). For social activities, individuals whose pain prevented them from going out very often had significantly higher odds of being female compared to those whose pain did not restrict their social activities (OR = 47.00, 95% CI = 5.25 - 420.82, p = 0.001). Conclusion: These findings highlight the gender-specific differences in how chronic low back pain affects individuals' daily activities and social participation. Therefore, this study recommends interventions that address the specific social needs of individuals with chronic low back pain.

Published: June 2024

Individuelle und institutionelle Wahrnehmungen von Antisemitismus und jüdischem Leben prägen das polizeiliche Handeln und haben konkrete Auswirkungen auf Ermittlungsverfahren, Opferschutz und die Einordnung von Kriminalitätsvorkommen. Damit Antisemitismus erkannt und die Gefahrenlage für die Betroffenen wahrgenommen und identifiziert wird, bedarf es einer phänomenspezifischen und zielgruppengerechten Professionalisierung der Polizeikräfte. Bisher liegen jedoch keine empirischen Erkenntnisse über die Wissensbestände von Polizeikräften zum Phänomenbereich Antisemitismus und jüdischem Leben vor. In einer unter der Leitung von Dr. Marc Grimm (Universität Bielefeld) und Dr. Sarah Jahn (Hochschule für Polizei und öffentliche Verwaltung Nordrhein-Westfalen) durchgeführten Studie wurden insgesamt 39 Polizisten und Polizistinnen im Zeitraum von Juni bis Dezember 2022 aus unterschiedlichen Dienstbereichen von zehn Kreispolizeibehörden Nordrhein-Westfalens befragt. Ziel der Untersuchung war es, polizeiliche Perspektiven, Erfahrungen und Einschätzungen zu den Themenfeldern jüdisches Leben und Antisemitismus zu erheben sowie Wissens- und Kompetenzbedarfe aus der Polizeipraxis zu ermitteln.
Education in the Age of Woke
Authors: Gardner Susan , Henry Wayne
Published: June 2024

We argue that locating “woke” as a left-wing project does a disservice to the traditional left-wing views that are grounded in the Enlightenment demand of respect for persons, and the firm belief that reasoned dialogue is the most effective pathway to human progress. We note, using an example from Canadian politics, that “woke” tactics are problematic precisely because they are divisive in the sense of making reasoned dialogue unlikely. We argue that, though wokesters pride themselves on being “progressive,” such a title is not deserved since their focus makes them comfortable companions with those often considered reactionary. We then reflect on Kant’s argument that the most important Enlightenment message is that we ought to trust reasoned dialogue rather than authority in deciding what to believe or do, and then argue that that this translates into three “attitude directives” with regard to discourse:  (i) let them speak, (ii) avoid insult, and (iii) keep the discourse focused on the most urgent problem, namely, economic inequality.  Finally, we examine the educational implications that emerge from our journey and suggest that the core command is that challenge, rather than safety, ought to be the motto of all educators.

Authors: Sukkur M Abdul
Published: June 2024

Background: Vajeekarana is a branch of Ayurveda studies related to reproductive health. This branch of study is
also intended to cure disease and maintain health. Infertility is presently a widely spreading significantly, and
couples with nil progeny are increasing worldwide. A thought on this problem is discussed, and studies regarding
the problem expect to give some solutions. Aim and Objective: To do a literary survey of Vajeekarana concerning a solution for infertility and health maintenance. Materials and Methods: Literary research is carried out on
Vajeekarana therapy based on the literary sources available from the institutional library. Discussion: The scope
of Vajeekarana therapy is vast, and the application of a so-called treatment modality based on Ayurveda is considered beneficial for nil-progeny couples to get a healthy child. The formulations explained in the science can be
used fruitfully to achieve better progeny and general healthy conditions. The psychological involvement of the
couples also has to be considered here. Conclusion: The word Vajeekarana implies enhancing good reproductive
health by providing physical strength to the individuals involved. A better protocol for proposing a treatment plan,
as well as its application and determination, will help in reaching the destination.

Modeling the spread of Hemlock Woolly Adelgid
Authors: Bonsu Kwame Effah Osei , Dancik Garrett Marc , Olsen Max
Published: June 2024

In this paper, a mathematical model is proposed to explain the interaction between Eastern Hemlock Trees and the invasive species Hemlock Woolly Adelgid. A system of reaction diffusion equations is used for this modeling exercise. There are at most three (3) steady states for the system of which the coexistent state is the only stable steady states for some parameter values. The model dynamics show that the solutions exhibit traveling wave solutions. In addition, a sensitivity analysis is conducted to determine the impact of model parameters. Sensitivity analysis suggests that the mortality rate of Eastern Hemlock Trees and the predation intensity of Hemlock Woolly Adelgid drive the dynamics of the interaction. Since Eastern Hemlock trees are foundation tress that provide shelter for several species they need to be protected for as long as possible. Based on the model dynamics and sensitivity analysis, it is postulated that selective and strategic removal of these trees will help curtail their destruction.

Authors: ADEOTI Adeola Abiodun
Published: June 2024

Aso-ebi is a traditional practice among the Yoruba of southwestern Nigeria that is continuous despite the modern trend in fashion and styles. Originally, it was referred to asa uniform dress worn by family members during social events in Nigeria but now, it has included a group of friends and well-wishers that goes beyond the Yoruba ethnic group. The practice was formerly used not to identify the social distinction, but in recent times the trends in fashion are creating a class of distinction among the wearers. The study critically examines the trends in aso-ebi fashion with the use of two prominent fabrics – Ankara and lace among the Yoruba of southwestern Nigeria. Methodologically, the study adopts a survey research design with the use of qualitative methods in analyzing the data. Groups and individual users were interviewed with an unstructured questionnaire while their photographs were taken with consent. The study reveals that aso-ebi is seen in almost all ceremonies while some people create a class of distinction out of the fabric in the same event.

The Nexus Between Fiscal Policy Measures, Inflation and Growth of Manufacturing Sector in Kenya.
Authors: Muriungi Alex Mbugi , Ndagara Maureen Muthoni , Mugambi Dr. Paul
Published: June 2024

This study examines the relationship between fiscal policy measures, inflation, and the growth of Kenya’s manufacturing sector from 1982 to 2022. Using an Error Correction Model, it analyzes the impact of government expenditure, taxation policies, and public debt on manufacturing sector growth, considering the moderating effect of inflation. The findings suggest that inflation affects how well fiscal policies work, especially when the government spends more during inflation, which might reduce growth in the manufacturing sector by discouraging private investment. One key discovery is that when the government spends more during inflation, it can actually slow down manufacturing growth. While it seems like increased government spending could help the manufacturing sector, inflation makes it harder to collect enough revenue, limiting the money available for supporting manufacturing growth. Also, inflation makes the negative effects of public debt worse, which holds back the manufacturing sector even more. The study therefore, stresses the importance of balanced fiscal policies that stimulate growth while ensuring sustainability, recommending strategies to minimize adverse effects on manufacturing, such as prudent revenue and debt management. These insights inform evidence-based policymaking for fostering sustainable economic development and industrialization in Kenya.
