p53, PTEN Tumor Suppressor Gene Methylation in Thyroid Cancer
Authors: FAWZI AHMED GHAZWAN , SALIM PITY INTISAR , MUHAMMAD AHMAD
Published: August 2023

Background and objective: DNA methylation serves as an alternative to the mutational inactivation due to epigenetic event that alters gene expression without changing its DNA sequence. Such alterations may silence putative DNA repair genes and tumor suppressor genes whose role is undisputed in malignant transformation. This study was performed to detect the frequency of p53 and PTEN methylation in different thyroid cancers.
 
Method: Using methylation specific PCR methods, DNA was extracted from 76 surgically resected thyroid tissues with primary cancer. The target (p53, PTEN tumor suppressor genes) DNA was amplified with the mutation-specific primers.
Results: p53 gene complete methylation and partial methylation were 13.2%, and 17.1% respectively, whereas PTEN complete methylation and partial methylation were 18.4% and 23.7% respectively. Complete p53 methylation was significantly frequent among Anaplastic thyroid cancer (ATC) cases (50.0%) compared with other thyroid cancer, followed by Follicular thyroid cancer (FTC) (33.3%). Papillary carcinoma cases were more likely to be unmethylated for p53 gene. Despite the trend of negatively associated PTEN complete methylation with any of the studied clinicopathological parameters, however, merging partial with complete methylation gave a significant association of PTEN methylation with FTC and, inversely, there was low link with Papillary thyroid cancer (PTC).
Conclusion: Combined silencing of PTEN and p53 faithfully reproduces the development of ATC, and may provide a compelling rationale for a future target chemotherapy. p53 methylation appears low among early staged (T1, T2 and N0) tumors may indicate that p53 silencing is a hallmark of advanced tumors and so has bad ominous sign. PTEN methylation is also significantly associated with follicular carcinoma whereas, inversely, low in papillary carcinoma.

Authors: Sabar Jihane , Traore Moustapha , Medarheri Jalil
Published: August 2023

Small bowel lymphoma associated with celiac disease is rare. The annual incidence varies from 0.5 to 1 per million inhabitants. We report two cases of small bowel lymphoma associated with celiac disease. The first case is a 50-year-old patient, treated for celiac disease since 2010 and whose tumor was revealed on abdominal CT as part of the etiological assessment of abdominal pain with an anemic syndrome. In the other case, it was a 52-year-old patient presenting the same symptomatology, in whom endoscopy revealed total villous atrophy, indicating the diagnosis of celiac disease, and CT showed a small bowel tumor. Both patients underwent segmental resection with single-stage anastomosis. The anatomopathological study concluded to a small lymphoma. Adjuvant chemotherapy was administered in both cases, and their evolution was favorable.

Published: August 2023

Background: Bolton’s ratio is a useful tool in orthodontic studies which helps determine the ratio of dental proportions. It is considered the 7th key to normal occlusion. Variations in different malocclusions can aid in diagnosis and planning the treatment. This study determines Bolton’s overall and anterior ratios for male individuals with different classes of malocclusion in the western region of Saudi Arabia. Methods: Ninety-six study model records were obtained from male patients attending the Orthodontic division of Preventive Dentistry, Faculty of Dentistry at Taif University, Saudi Arabia. The participants’ average age was 19.6 years. The study models were divided into three categories: Angle’s Class 1 (n=40), Angle’s Class 2 (n=36), and Angle’s Class 3 (n=20). To prevent bias, one of the authors measured the study casts using the ORTHOASSISTANT software program at two different time intervals. Intergroup differences were analyzed using one-way ANOVA. Results were considered statistically significant if the p-value of ≤ 0.05. Results: No statistically significant difference was observed in the overall ratio between the three types of malocclusions. However, class 2 and 3 malocclusions demonstrated significant differences in the anterior ratio. Both overall and anterior ratios in this population were higher than normal Bolton’s ratios. Conclusions: Bolton’s overall ratio did not differ significantly between various malocclusions, but Bolton’s anterior ratio did show significant differences between Class 2 and Class 3 malocclusion groups. This highlights the importance of orthodontists’ appropriate diagnosis and treatment planning in such cases.
Fibrosarcoma Presenting as Marjolin Ulcer – A Rare Case Report
Authors: Hans Agam , Roy Maitrayee , Nijhawan Vijay S.
Published: August 2023

Marjolin ulcer is a rare malignancy that arises in previously traumatised or chronically inflamed skin, particularly after burns, with an average latency period of 36 years. Nearly 75-90% marjolin ulcers are diagnosed as squamous cell carcinoma but other neoplasms like basal cell carcinoma, melanoma, fibrosarcoma etc have also been rarely reported. In this case, a 52-year-old male presented with a painless bleeding mass over lower chest wall rapidly increasing in size from last 2 years. He had suffered burn at the same site 20 years ago. Biopsy was reported as spindle cell neoplasm. Wide local excision revealed a poorly circumscribed subcutaneous spindle cell neoplasm exhibiting variable cellularity, fascicular to storiform architecture, mild to moderate nuclear atypia and scattered gaping thin-walled blood vessels. The neoplastic cells showed diffuse strong staining with CD34 in the less cellular area and patchy positivity in the cellular more mitotically active areas. The tumor cells were immunonegative for EMA, p63, SMA, CD99 and STAT6. The final diagnosis rendered was Dermatofibrosarcoma Protuberans dedifferentiating in to fibrosarcoma. Although sarcoma presenting as a Marjolin ulcer is exceedingly rare, it should be kept in mind in differential diagnosis of spindle cell malignancy arising at a burn site.

Authors: Kocaslan Toran Meryem , Yılmaz Nur , Kabay Dilara , Bilgi Handenur , Dalcı Teslime
Published: August 2023

Objective: In addition to pregnancy-specific anxiety, women experience additional anxiety related to diseases or complications that occur during pregnancy. It is reported that approximately 23% of women experience generalized anxiety disorders during pregnancy, with an increased frequency of anxiety disorders, particularly in the third trimester.
Material and Methods: This cross-sectional study obtained data from pregnant women who met the inclusion criteria. The data was collected through face-to-face interviews using a Demographic Information Form, State-Trait Anxiety Inventory, and Pregnancy Experience Scale (PES). The sociodemographic, clinical, and obstetric characteristics of the participants were gathered and documented through a Demographic Information Form developed by the researchers. The study was completed with a total of 358 pregnant participants.
Results: The average age of the pregnant women participating in the study was 29.01 ± 5.37 years. When evaluating educational status, it was observed that 41.1% had completed high school. Regarding gestational weeks, 78.2% of the women were in the third trimester. Analysis of neurological conditions among pregnant women indicated that 74% reported experiencing migraines and headaches. The mean score for "state anxiety" was calculated as 40.33 ± 8.10, while for "trait anxiety," it was 37.79 ± 8.50. Exploring the average scores of the Pregnancy Experiences Scale (PES), the mean score for "positive frequency" was 27.28 ± 7.08, and for "negative frequency," it was 17.39 ± 5.55.
Conclusion: Notably, among pregnant women with neurological disorders, the levels of state and trait anxiety displayed notable correlations with the frequency and intensity of both positive and negative pregnancy-related experiences. Recognizing and diagnosing mood and anxiety disorders early in pregnancy, particularly in the context of neurological conditions, holds significance in mitigating potential adverse impacts on both maternal and fetal well-being. Stressing the importance of appropriate interventions and care measures is pivotal in reducing these potential effects.

Published: August 2023

Cat is one of the most popular pets. There are many cat breeds with unique characteristic and treatment for each breed. A cat owner can have more than one cat, either the same breed or different breeds.  But not all cat owners know the breeds of their cats. Computers can be trained to recognized cat breeds, but there are many challenges for computers because it limited by how much they have been trained and programmed. In recent years, a lot of research about image classification has been done before and got various result, but most of the data used in previous research were single object images. Therefore, this study of cat breeds classification would be conducted with Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) in the Multi-Object images. This method was chosen because it had good classification results in the previous studies. This study used 5 breeds of cats with every breed having 200-3200 images for training. The test results were measured using confusion matrix, obtaining the precision, recall, f1 score and accuracy of 100% on multi-object images with 2 objects and 3 objects. On images with 4 objects achieved the precision, recall, f1 score and accuracy value of 89%, 87%, 87% and 95%. While the value of precision, recall, f1 score and accuracy on images with 5 objects get 87%, 86%, 86% and 94%, respectively.
Automatic Clustering and Fuzzy Logical Relationship to Predict the Volume of Indonesia Natural Rubber Export
Authors: Aprilini Widya , Rini Dian Palupi , Satria Hadipurnawan
Published: August 2023

Natural rubber is one of the pillars of Indonesia's export commodities. However, over the last few years, the export value of natural rubber has decreased due to an oversupply of this commodity in the global market. To overcome this problem, it is possible to predict the volume of Indonesia natural rubber exports. Predicted values can also help the government to compile market intelligence for natural rubber commodities periodically. In this study, the prediction of the export volume of natural rubber was carried out using the Automatic Clustering as an interval maker in the Fuzzy Time Series or usually called Automatic Clustering and Fuzzy Logical Relationship (ACFLR). The data used is 51 data per year from 1970 to 2020. The purpose of this study is to predict the volume of Indonesia natural rubber exports and compare the prediction results between the Automatic Clustering and Fuzzy Logical Relationship (ACFLR) and Chen's Fuzzy Time Series. The results showed that there was a significant difference between the two methods, ACFLR got 0.5316% MAPE with  and Chen's Fuzzy Time Series model got 8.009%. Show that the ACFLR method performs better than the pure Fuzzy Time Series in predicting volume of Indonesia natural rubber exports.

Authors: Dr Syed Muhammad Tahir Shah
Published: August 2023

Islam is the religion of peace, security, and harmony. It not only focuses to maintain and establish peace and harmony in its teachings but also uses religion for religious peacebuilding among the humanity. The Holy Prophet (PBUH) attached peace to religion and declared the peace and security of others as an integral part of faith and included peace in the foundations of religion.
 He (PBUH) provided noble examples and teachings for religious peacebuilding within the faith for Muslims and at the interfaith level so that both internal and external peace can be maintained and established. Within the Islamic faith, He (PBUH) preached to Muslims to live with peace and unity and to avoid quarreling, being divided into sects, and becoming enemies with one another. At the same time, for interfaith religious peacebuilding, He (PBUH) taught and provided many examples to promote religious tolerance and interreligious pleasant relations and harmony.       
Its contemporary requirements are to follow these teachings and examples of Seerah with true letter and spirit and apply them in the society in this era so that the world can get peace and protection and avail a pleasant and peaceful atmosphere for an excellent living. This article focuses on these aspects of Seerat ul Nabi (SAW) regarding religious peacebuilding.

Disaster is inevitable, unpredictable and out of human control. There is no tried and tested single solution to totally prevent it. However, human acts may reduce the negative results. It is along this lines that this research is anchored. To ensure a minimized disaster loss in Dagupan City, this research evaluated the level of preparedness, level of effectiveness and the problems encountered by the City Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (CDRRMC). This is done through a descriptive-evaluative method where explanations about the existing conditions were taken from the collective perceptions of the respondents. The perception of the respondents was collected using a validated survey questionnaire prepared by the researchers. To analyze the data collected from the sixty-one (61) barangay officials and eighty-six (86) residents of the nine (9) barangays that are usually flooded, weighted mean was use. The data shows that the CDRRMC of Dagupan City is moderately prepared and likewise moderately effective. Despite this however, the CDRRMC is facing some moderately serious problems such as limited number of personnel, lack of training of personnel resulting to the difficulty in the performance of some functions and difficulty in involving the community in the design and management of projects. This goes to show that the CDRRMC lacks sufficient preparations on some programs and such programs were inadequately implemented since some residents were unaware on the existence of such programs.

This study was conducted to determine the bacteriological quality of beef and contact surfaces of equipment and apparel worn in the Kotokuraba slaughterhouse in the Cape Coast Metropolis. Because of the high demand for the product among residents of the Cape Coast Metropolis, as well as economic crises in developing countries, including Ghana, beef producers enter the industry with little knowledge of hygienic and sanitation practices, resulting in bacteriological contamination from cow slaughter to beef handling and storage. Some of these pollutants have the potential to harm humans by creating diseases. This study, therefore, aids in the isolation and identification of harmful bacteria found in beef as well as other surfaces of equipment and apparel that come into contact with beef. Results revealed that, Staphylococcus spp. recorded the highest means in all the samples and the number of bacteria identified expressed in percentages had Staphylococcus spp. being the highest identified species in the samples taken. Bacillus subtilis had the least number with a percentage of about 21.05 %. The percentage occurrences of the various bacteria species were 31.58 %, 21.05 %, 23.68 %, and 23.68 % for Staphylococcus spp., Bacillus spp., Micrococcus spp., and Escherichia spp. respectively. This shows that Staphylococcus spp. was the most frequently occurring species with Bacillus spp. being the least. That is, the dominant species isolated was Staphylococcus spp. followed closely by Micrococcus spp. and Escherichia spp. The presence of these bacteria in the beef and other contact surfaces is a clear indication of contamination of the beef and regular consumption of the beef is harmful to the health of the consumers.

University communities are expected to be of multiple activities, requiring the provision of facilities that are expected to service them. Facilities of all kinds are meant to be updated to meet the challenges of the time, thus facilities management as a practical activity, stand for the coordination of all efforts related to planning, designing and managing buildings and their systems, equipment and furniture to enhance an organization’s ability to compete successfully in rapidly changing world. Accordingly, most of the facilities attached to university communities were planned to serve one particular purpose or the other and are therefore reserved for specified purposes. With the ongoing decline in the funding of universities, particularly in Nigeria, there is a need for a gainful and commercialized management of these facilities, especially event facilities, through outsourced facilities management to enhance their ability to compete and attract patronage from within and outside the university community, with a view to augmenting government’s efforts through the creation of internally generated revenue. This study aims to examine the in-house facility management process and evaluated the necessity of outsourced commercialization of Event Facilities in the Rivers State University, Port Harcourt. In-depth interviews sessions held with stake holders through Focus Groups meetings highlighted challenges created by the shortcomings of the regulated management system. The paper thus concludes by suggesting some recommendations that might be of help to overcome the identified challenges.

Agriculture is one of the largest employment sectors in Bangladesh, contributing 11.61% of GDP in the fiscal year 2021-22. This sector is contributing significantly even in the toughest situation of COVID-19. Farmers are the main actors behind this contribution. But we have seen farmers not getting a fair price for the vegetables they produce. On the contrary, when the same vegetables are coming to large cities, they are sold at higher prices. Our research tries to identify the potential causes behind the price-increasing issues of vegetables in the existing vegetable supply chain in Bangladesh. We also tried to recommend a solution to reduce the problem so that the farmers can get a better and fair price for the vegetables they produce. In this study, we tried to mention the reasons behind the price-increasing issues after conducting surveys. To conduct our research, we spoke with farmers and middlemen who are actively involved in the vegetable supply chain. Through our survey and after having conversations with them, we found out that both parties (farmers & middlemen) are dissatisfied with the current state. We came to know that the farmers feel the necessity of having a central supply chain system, and the middlemen are talking about the government's involvement in the whole process. When it comes to recommending a solution, we can't do a practical solution regarding the government's involvement. So, we proposed a central supply chain model that will help to minimize the price-increasing issues of vegetables in the vegetable supply chain in Bangladesh.
