Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is a malignant condition defined by the proliferation of immature hematopoietic bone marrow cells, which replace the normal bone marrow elements. Furthermore, immature cells will accumulate in various areas of the body. Chemotherapeutic drugs are cytotoxic and have unwanted effects on normal cells. This toxicity is acute, or it may be chronic. Approximately 60% of survivors of ALL will suffer from one or more health problems or adverse side effects of this treatment. Oral complications are a frequent consequence of oncology therapy in pediatric patients. Xerostomia, carious lesions, gingivitis, tumors of the oral cavity, bone deformities of the jaw, temporomandibular joint disorders, trismus, and infections due to abundant microbial flora are common in these children. The risk of dental anomalies (dental or root agenesis, root malformations, enamel defects, dental hypoplasia) is higher in those who started treatment before permanent teeth erupt. All children are at risk of developing oral lesions due to poor hygiene, but children who have survived cancer are at even higher risk. The survival rate of children diagnosed with ALL has significantly increased thanks to remarkable advances in chemotherapy. Therefore, it is important that these patients are constantly monitored by the dentist to treat complications arising from the treatments in a timely manner. In children diagnosed with ALL, oral health is of great importance as the oral environment changes as a side effect of hematological disorders and their treatments. Treatment of carious lesions, periodontal problems and lesions of the oral mucosa must be done before starting chemotherapy by cleaning the oral cavity to eliminate any possible risk of infection. The participation of the dentist is important in improving the preventive protocols and oral examination of the pathological processes that occur in children with ALL. Interdisciplinary collaboration between physicians is essential during the treatment of pediatric cancer patients.
TD 2851 - Regularização fundiária no Brasil : avanços e desafios
Authors: Gómez Raúl V. , Vieira Filho José Eustáquio Ribeiro
Published: February 2023

Uma vasta literatura econômica sustenta que os direitos de propriedade bem definidos sobre o uso da terra podem estar associados com incrementos da eficiência na utilização dos recursos escassos. Em dezembro de 2020, o governo brasileiro lançou o programa Titula Brasil que tem como objetivo apoiar e facilitar o processo de regularização fundiária no país. O processo de regularização de assentados tem se tornado debate de interesse da política agrária nacional, uma vez que o setor agrário é responsável por uma parcela considerável da economia nacional. Diante do exposto, neste trabalho buscou-se investigar a relação existente entre os direitos de propriedade sobre o uso da terra, medido como o número de títulos emitidos, e os diversos resultados econômicos no setor agropecuário. Os resultados mostram uma relação positiva entre o número de títulos de domínio (TDs) e o valor da produção e a área plantada nos estados brasileiros durante o período 2019-2021. A percepção geral é de que as políticas que buscam fortalecer os direitos de propriedade podem contribuir para o desenvolvimento econômico do setor agropecuário. No entanto, tornam-se necessárias análises de causalidade para estimar os efeitos deste tipo de política.
SOCIAL PRIORITIES OF THE RUSSIAN ECONOMY DEVELOPMENT
Authors:   Institute for Economic Forecasting of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Shirov A.A.
Published: February 2023

The article analyzes the main aspects of social policy in the modern Russian economy. In particular, the current demographic situation is assessed. It is concluded that the key factor in maintaining the size of the Russian population in the long-term prospect will be reduction of mortality. It is emphasized that a favorable domestic economic situation is a necessary factor in maintaining acceptable birth rates in the country. For several reasons, migration can no longer be considered as a stable factor of compensation for negative domestic demographic trends. Based on various statistical data, the contribution of population consumption to the formation of economic dynamics is considered. It is stated that along with the decisive contribution of the population’s demand to the formation of Gross Domestic Product (GDP), stable imbalances have developed in the structure of incomes and expenditures of the population, preventing qualitative shifts in the structure of consumption. These imbalances have a negative impact on the development of production and require special attention of the economic authorities. In this regard, it is proposed to change the focus of assessing the effectiveness of decisions in the field of economic policy from macroeconomic (based on macroeconomic and budgetary efficiency) to socio-economic, considering the impact of decisions in the field of economic policy or ongoing projects on employment, income of the population and the development of human capital sectors.

Published: February 2023

This article discusses the problems of finding new approaches to the successful development of the domestic economy based on an analysis of the historical experience of the USSR. An analysis was made of various sanctions restrictions imposed by Western countries against Russia in the 20th century. Based on a historical analysis of the actions of the Soviet Union, ways out of the current situation of sanctions restrictions and successful counteraction to unfriendly actions are shown. Systematized approaches to reduce the negative impact of sanctions imposed by a number of Western countries. It is shown that on a new round of the historical spiral of the development of the Russian state, the previously used methods and tools for countering sanctions restrictions can be applied, but with the necessary changes determined by modern economic development. It is concluded that Russia has significant development potential even in the conditions of the sanctions economy, but this requires the adoption of a number of strategic management decisions at the state level.
An Iterative OLA Method for Inversion of Solar Spectropolarimetric Data. I. Single- and Multiple-variable Inversions of Thermodynamic Quantities
Authors: Agrawal Piyush , Rast Mark P. , Cobo Basilio Ruiz
Published: February 2023

This paper describes an adaptation of the Optimally Localized Averaging (OLA) inversion technique, originally developed for geo- and helioseismological applications, to the interpretation of solar spectroscopic data. It focuses on inverting the thermodynamical properties of the solar atmosphere, assuming that the atmosphere and radiation field are in local thermodynamic equilibrium (LTE). We leave inversions of magnetic field and non-LTE inversions for future work. The advantage with the OLA method is that it computes solutions that are optimally depth resolved with minimal crosstalk error between variables. Additionally, the method allows for direct assessment of the vertical resolution of the inverted solutions. The primary challenges faced when adapting the method to spectroscopic inversions originate with the possible large-amplitude differences between the atmospheric model used to initiate the inversion and the underlying atmosphere it aims to recover, necessitating the development of an iterative scheme. Here, we describe the iterative OLA method we have developed for both single and multivariable inversions and demonstrate its performance on simulated data and synthesized spectra. We note that, when carrying out multivariable inversions, employing response function amplification factors can address the inherent spectral sensitivity bias that makes it hard to invert for less spectrally sensitive variables. The OLA method can, in most cases, reliably invert as well as or better than the frequently employed Stokes Inversion based on Response functions (SIR) scheme, but some difficulties remain. In particular, the method struggles to recover large-scale offsets in the atmospheric stratification. We propose future strategies to improve this aspect.

Published: February 2023

Based on a new H i survey using the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical radio Telescope (FAST), combined with the Pan-STARRS1 images, we identified an isolated H i cloud without any optical counterpart, named FAST J0139+4328. The newly discovered H i cloud appears to be a typical disk galaxy since it has a double-peak shape in the global H i profile and an S-like rotation structure in the velocity-position diagram. Moreover, this disk galaxy has an extremely low absolute magnitude (M
B > −10.0 mag) and stellar mass (<6.9 ×105
M
⊙). Furthermore, we obtained that the H i mass of this galaxy is (8.3 ± 1.7) ×107
M
⊙, and the dynamical mass to total baryonic mass ratio is 47 ± 27, implying that dark matter dominates over baryons in FAST J0139+4328. These findings provide observational evidence that FAST J0139+4328 is an isolated dark dwarf galaxy with a redshift of z = 0.0083. This is the first time that an isolated dark galaxy has been detected in the nearby universe.

Authors: Monier Richard
Published: February 2023

The analysis of 28 spectra of the bright B6 He-weak star HD 5737 recorded by the SWP camera on board the International Ultraviolet Explorer reveals one instance of marginal variation of the far-ultraviolet flux of this star from 1300 up to 1700 Å. All the other large aperture spectra show a remarkably constant spectral energy distribution. Over the 6 yr of the IUE mission, HD 5737 has experienced at least two episodes of very strong absorption in the C iv resonance lines at 1548.19 and 1550.77 Å,
Niche modeling of bumble bee species (Hymenoptera, Apidae, Bombus) in Colombia reveals highly fragmented potential distribution for some species
Authors: Rojas-Arias Laura , Gómez-Morales Daniel , Stiegel Stephanie , Ospina-Torres Rodulfo
Published: February 2023

Insect population decline has been reported worldwide, including those of pollinators important for ecosystem services. Therefore, conservation actions which rely on available rigorous species distribution data are necessary to protect biodiversity. Niche modeling is an appropriate approach to distribution maps, but when it comes to bumble bees, few studies have been performed in South America. We modeled ecological niches of nine Colombian Bombus species with MAXENT 3.4 software using bioclimatic variables available from WorldClim. This resulted in maps for each species that show the potential distribution area at the present time. Modeled species maps accurately represent potential niches according to the description of bioclimatic conditions in the species’ habitat. We grouped the species into three clusters based on our results, as well as on distributional information from literature on the topic: High Mountain, Mid- Mountain and inter-Andean, and the Amazon and Eastern Plains Basin. Niche modeling depicted bumble bee species’ distribution in Colombia, the results of which can serve as a useful tool for conservation policies in the country.

Authors: Utari Febiani Dwi , Sari Dessy Agustina , Kurniasari Laeli , Kumoro Andri Cahyo , Djaeni Mohamad , Hii Ching-Lik
Published: February 2023

Sappanwood (Caesalpinia sappan Linn) contains brazilin, a natural antioxidant. It can be extracted and dried to obtain a dry extract powder. However, sappanwood extract drying is difficult due to its tendency to form a jelly-like structure, which strongly traps water molecules. This research studies the effect of foaming agents (egg albumin and gum Arabic) as well as the drying temperatures (40, 60, and 80 ℃) on the drying kinetics and physicochemical properties of the sappanwood extract powder. The water removal can be well expressed by the Page model. The addition of a foaming agent as well as the increase in drying temperature significantly speed up the drying process. However, at a temperature of 80℃, the effect of the foaming agents was less significant, and the dry extract became dark brown due to the occurrence of the Maillard reaction. By considering those trade-off phenomena, optimization with response surface methodology (RSM) was performed. The results indicated that sappanwood extract could be fully dried using a mixture of 5% egg albumin and 25% gum Arabic as the foaming agent at 64.1 ℃, the in just 64.7 minutes or 7 times shorter compared to the drying without foaming agent. Under these drying conditions, the total phenolic compound retention was up to 87.25%.
A model of amacrine cells for orientation detection
Authors: Yuan Fenggang , Tang Cheng , Tang Zheng , Todo Yuki
Published: February 2023

As the most studied sensory system, the visual system plays an important role in our understanding of brain functions. Biological researchers have divided the nerve cells in the retina into dozens of visual channels carrying various characteristics based on visual features. Although orientation-selective cells have been identified in the retinas of various animals, the specific neural circuits of such cells have been controversial. In this study, a new simple and efficient orientation detection model based on the perceptron is proposed to restore the neural circuitry of orientation-selective cells in the retina. The performance of this model is experimentally compared with that of the convolutional neural network for image orientation recognition, and the results verify that the proposed model offers very good orientation detection. The proposed perceptron-based orientation detection model provides a new perspective to explain the neural circuits of orientation-selective cells.

Authors: Ren Xiangyang , Chen Shuai , Ren Liyuan
Published: February 2023

Given the particular characteristics of a sudden outbreak of an epidemic on a regional scale and considering the possible existence of a latent period process, this paper takes the distribution of regional emergency supplies as the research object. Form the proposes a dynamic vehicle path problem from the perspective of real-time demand changes. First, when there is a sudden outbreak of a small-scale epidemic, there is uncertainty about demand in the epidemic area. The objective functions of minimizing the vehicle travel route cost of emergency vehicles, the late arrival penalty cost of emergency vehicles, and the fixed cost of emergency vehicles, as well as the objective function of minimizing the total distance traveled by vehicles, are established. Second, a mathematical model of the dynamic real-time demand vehicle route problem is built using the actual vehicle routing problem as a basis. The model is then solved using the SFSSA method. Finally, the computational results demonstrate that the SFSSA algorithm can effectively reduce transportation cost and distance when solving the constructed mathematical model problem, providing a solution to the problem of optimizing the route of emergency material distribution vehicles for a regional scale.

Authors: Jiang Xinyu , Chiu Dickson K. W. , Chan Cheuk Ting
Published: February 2023

This study explores the AIDA model (attention, interest, desire, action) for social media promotion and community engagement for small cultural organizations. The internal situation and external environment were first analyzed with the SWOT analysis augmented with PEST analysis. Then, the authors show how the AIDA model can be used in social media marketing to improve public awareness, engagement, and thus participation in the organization's activities. As the global economy is getting linked to the internet and social media, utilizing the AIDA model for small cultural organizations contributes to effective information dissemination and increases interactions in the targeted community. The rise of social media has also triggered smaller organizations to consider how to survive under dynamic changes and fulfill their mission through better community engagement.

Me and My Mom's Camera
Authors: Neely Sarah
Published: February 2023

This chapter considers a collection of 35mm slides taken by the author's mother, Gerry Neely, a keen photographer, who although wanting to study photography formally, was never able to. The evening class offered at the local university, called ‘Me and My Camera', never had enough enrolments to justify running the class. This chapter will offer an account of the process of digitising the slides and sharing them with family over the last few years. Informed by what Annette Kuhn describes in her book Family Secrets as a kind of ‘memory work', the author's analysis will present a collaborative form of memory work developed from discussions with the author's mom during the pandemic about their individual interpretations and memories of the images contained within the slides, as well as her own thoughts on the process of taking, selecting, and presenting them.
Understanding, Reactivating, and Reproducing Autobiographical Memory
Authors: Martin Jessie
Published: February 2023

This chapter engages with the potential for historical personal archives to prompt autobiographical memory through discovery, digitisation, and processes of sharing. It uses one specific archive of photographs, accumulated by the writer's grandfather over 30 years and spanning different configurations of family and place, to analyse how personal memory and meaning are reproduced through photographs over time. Digitising analogue photographs draws them into new dialogues through the application of contemporary ways of seeing and presenting. This chapter interrogates how by extending possible audiences and enabling photographs to be seen in the present, personal and collective memories are renewed and altered as the memory text is changed. Personal archives generate different forms of autobiographical memory. This multiplicity is engaged with furthering understanding of how histories of seeing as well as belonging are recorded. Through these processes, this text examines what futures for archives such as these could look like.

Authors: Sharma Somi N. , Kadri Uzma , Naha Nibedita
Published: February 2023

Nanotechnology possesses a wide array of materials in the form of nano-tubes, fibres, plates, chips, particles, sensors, and so on; the application of which has dramatically increased over the last few years due to their unique physicochemical characteristics (i.e., catalytic activity as well as optical, electronic, antibacterial, and magnetic properties). However, the exposure to nanoparticles, and consequent threat to human health and the environment are valid concerns because of the magnitude of nanotechnology-based applications, mainly in the pharmaceutical industries during drug designing, targeted drug delivery and disease diagnostics, and manufacturing of commercial products. For this purpose, the majority of nanomaterials are synthesized either from carbon (organic) and/or heavy metals, metal oxides (inorganic). Accordingly, lead, zinc, copper, chromium, iron, cadmium, and their oxides are important inorganic nanomaterials that are discussed in the chapter.

Advance Biodegradable Polymer Composite Materials for Biomedical Additive Manufacturing Applications
Authors: Kumar Sudheer , Krishnan Sukhila , Prabakaran K.
Published: February 2023

In the present period there has been an increasing awareness of the utilization of cost-effective greener resources to design biodegradable polymer composite materials in biomedical additive manufacturing (AM) applications owing to their excellent physical and mechanical properties, lightweight, high strength, stiffness, fatigue, and good corrosion resistance compared to the metal and ceramics materials. On the other hand, the production of bioplastic-based products increased to approximately 30% due to their remarkable role to diminish the greenhouse effect and petroleum-based pollution. Nevertheless, biodegradable polymers are renewable substitutes for petroleum-based AM materials with various advantages such as being biocompatible, biodegradable, bioresorbable, non-toxic, recyclable, and exhibiting better mechanical properties. This chapter discusses the design and preparation of biodegradable polymer composites for AM biomedical applications with different techniques.

Published: February 2023

3D printing uses fused plastics and composite filaments to layer components. This method produces parts for household tasks, industrial applications, and rapid prototyping. Developing a printing model requires determining extruder speed, extrusion height, and bed temperature (slicing). Poorly defined parameters can result in poor dimension precision, surface integrity, mechanical properties, and finally printing flaws in plastic and composite sections, limiting or prohibiting their use. During the first stage of 3D printing, a component's first layer is created. This chapter primarily reviews research on the use of image processing methods at different phases of the fused modeling process. Additionally, a review of the broad literature on the junction of FDM and image processing has been presented. The advantages and disadvantages of image processing for the FDM process, as well as existing barriers, have been discussed.
Am I My Brother's Keeper?
Authors: Bryant Arian L. , Walker Larry J.
Published: February 2023

In May of 2020 after the murder of George Floyd, the nation was forced to confront the disparate treatment of Black men by law enforcement. Floyd's murder led to protests that occurred in neighborhoods and college campuses throughout the nation. The response at post-secondary institutions reflected the anger from George Floyd's murder and the experiences of Black students on campus. Far too often, they have to navigate stereotypes and misconceptions from faculty and students. For this reason, this chapter will (1) examine extant literature focusing on the challenges Black male college students encounter inside and outside of the classroom, (2) utilize autoethnographic vignettes to discuss the importance of kinship from the perspective of a Black male doctoral student and faculty member, and (3) provide implications for practice.

While research indicates doctoral students of color need to be better supported by their institutions, there is a lack of well-aligned practices within the literature that targets specific support for doctoral students of color. This chapter reports the findings of a participatory action research study conducted with educators of color by utilizing affinity groups as an empowerment mechanism to provide well-aligned and appropriate support to improve the retention rates of educators of color within school districts and their academic programs. The study's results revealed educators of color require targeted support, including a safe space, validation, cultural understanding, and mentorship. Once provided with these targeted supports, educators of color gain internal empowerment, further developing a sense of advocacy. Both support and advocacy motivated participants in the study to stay in the education profession and persist through their doctoral studies. The chapter concludes with an empowerment framework to support educators of color and, by extension, graduate students of color.

This autoethnographic reflection examines the intersectional identity and mentorship experiences of the chapter's authors: the mentor and the mentees. Each author will discuss their experiences with unconventional mentorship and how it shaped their research agendas, professional careers, and personal identity through the lenses of hip-hop feminism and gendered racial identity development. Although a widespread image of hip-hop culture is often associated with gangsters, thugs, pimps, misogyny, drugs, and violence, hip-hop culture has been a means of individual expression and messages of community, peace, and social consciousness. Love explained that students who identify with hip-hop culture embody grit and social and emotional intelligence, which are predictors of academic success. The authors provide rich descriptive data by formally exploring mentoring relationships and suggest action steps to enrich the mentorship experience.
Mentorship Among Educational Leadership Doctoral Students Enrolled at Historically Black Colleges and Universities

The role of mentorship among educational leadership doctoral students and candidates is a specialized focus within the wider scope of mentorship study. When examined among doctoral students and candidates enrolled at one of the nation's historically Black colleges and universities, the scope is further narrowed. In this chapter, qualitative research methods were used to examine the role of mentorship among educational leadership doctoral students and candidates enrolled at historically Black colleges and universities. Semi-structured, in-depth interviews were conducted among 17 respondents who were either students, candidates, or recent graduates of educational leadership or related programs (e.g., educational administration; educational leadership, policy, and law). Four themes emerged from the findings: care about me, lead me, pass the torch or baton, and don't haze me.
Incidence Response, Disaster Recovery, and Business Continuity Planning

Between advances in educational technology and learner expectations, higher education institutions are becoming increasingly dependent on third-party educational technologies such as learning management systems, metaverse-related technologies, open educational resources, and eportfolios to support learning. While this permits these institutions to deliver more engaging learner experiences, it also brings increased exposure to cyber-attacks. This chapter addresses the hierarchy that is implied by the threat of cyber-attack and the importance of developing the front-line incidence response (IR) and disaster recovery (DR) plans within the context of the business continuity plan (BCP), recognizing that the BCP must also be consciously integrated as part of the institution's overall risk management plan. This chapter walks through the key steps of building an IR program and DR plan, illustrating how they support the key cyber security components of the BCP that are incorporated into the institution's overall risk management plan. The vital role that communication plays will be addressed.
The Impact of Migration on the State and Social Security
Authors: Alaverdov Emilia , Ilik Goran , Tchabashvili Zurabi
Published: February 2023

Migration represents one of the main challenges for any modern country. The constantly changing situation is forcing countries to adapt to the conditions of a globalizing world and the transformation of migration flows, using both new and adapted old theoretical approaches including the justification of the policy of assimilation of migrants and the development of new approaches to their integration. Migration processes affect all aspects of public, social, and state life and security. Such an impact requires certain measures from governments and states and proper assessment by society. Moreover, states should urgently develop proper and effective migration policies to protect their state and social security. It is worth noting that the problem of state regulation of migration flows in the current conditions of political and economic globalization and the impact of migration processes on the economic security of the countries is not developed by the field researchers.

Intrinsic and extrinsic motivation in faculty development creates several reasons to address participation in a program. While the former depends on voluntary participation which is a prominent type for recruiting faculty members for faculty development, the latter is the result of certification and promotion purposes. Intrinsic motivation is easy to address since the faculty members address their own development needs; extrinsic motivation, however, tends to yield a lower bar for development and lower priority for faculty development before teaching and scholarly obligations. Gamification of faculty development is an appropriate strategy to increase both intrinsic motivations through techniques like cultivating and extrinsic motivation by providing an environment to showcase abilities, skills, and accomplishments. However, gamification in the scope of faculty development requires some directions. Therefore, the purpose of this chapter is to define how to harness gamification for faculty development while describing five ways fine-tuned for faculty development.

Applications of Graphs in Smart Cities
Authors: Sensarma Debajit
Published: February 2023

Many megacities will emerge in the twenty-first century as a result of urbanization as a megatrend. Essential services like electricity, water, mobility, manufactured products, and healthcare will have to be delivered effectively in these densely, hugely populated centers. While these services may be regarded separately, they are in fact interconnected, particularly in light of the requirement for optimal resource use and, as a result, integration. Because the modelling foundations for these services are typically discipline specific, this offers a severe engineering challenge. Here comes the applications of graphs. Graphs can be used to model a smart city efficiently and solving graph theoretic problems can solve various real-life problems of smart cities. In this chapter a survey of works related to the applications of graphs in smart cities like modelling smart city, security, anomaly detection, transport, logistics, energy management etc. has been depicted, along with some future directions to cope with various problems.
