The purpose of this article is to study some covering properties in neutrosophic topological spaces via neutrosophic pre-open sets. We define neutrosophic pre-open cover, neutrosophic pre-compactness, neutrosophic countably pre-compactness and neutrosophic pre-Lindel¨ofness and study various properties connecting them. We study some properties involving neutrosophic continuous and neutrosophic pre-continuous functions. We also define neutrosophic pre-base, neutrosophic pre-subbase, neutrosophic pre∗-open function, neutrosophic pre-irresolute function and study some properties. In addition to that, we define and study neutrosophic local pre-compactness.
Fostering Belonging, Transforming Schools: The Impact of Restorative Practices
Authors: Darling-Hammond Sean
Published: May 2023

Across the country, many schools have adopted restorative practices in an effort to improve school climate and student outcomes while reducing exclusionary discipline. Restorative practices are designed to proactively build community, improve relationships, and help students amend harm when conflict occurs. Using 6 years of student survey data and California administrative data, this study examines the use of restorative practices in 485 middle schools and their impact on school and student outcomes. Analyses find that exposure to restorative practices improves students’ academic achievement and reduces suspension rates and disparities. Schools that increased use of restorative practices saw a decrease in schoolwide misbehavior, substance abuse, and student mental health challenges, as well as improved school climate and student achievement. Students of all racial and ethnic backgrounds benefited from restorative practice exposure, with Black and Latino/a students benefiting the most.

Introduction:

Posterior lumbar fusion surgery has become more common amid an aging population, with degenerative disease as its most common indication. Historically, postoperative pain control for spine surgery has relied on opioids. However, opioid use is associated with adverse effects such as dependence, respiratory depression, and altered cognition. Our study aimed to determine whether an opioid-sparing multimodal analgesia regimen (ketorolac, orphenadrine, and gabapentin) could be a viable alternative to diminish opioid use compared with a standard opioid-based regimen in Hispanic patients undergoing posterior lumbar spinal fusion.

Methods:

This was a randomized controlled trial of Hispanic patients scheduled to undergo elective posterior spinal fusion. Inclusion criteria included age 30 to 85 years, Hispanic ethnicity, lumbar stenosis between L1 and S1, elective posterior spinal fusion with instrumentation, American Society of Anesthesiologists Score <2, and consent to participate in the study. Patients were randomized into two groups, an experimental multimodal analgesia and control (opioid-based) treatment groups, and outcomes such as morphine milligram equivalents used, visual analog scale score, and length of hospital stay were compared between the groups.

Results:

The MMA experimental group used significantly lower amounts of opioid (measured with morphine milligram equivalent) than the opioid-based group during the 12-hour and 24-hour postoperative periods (P-value = 0.023 and P-value = 0.033, respectively). No statistically significant difference was observed in opioid use in the 48-hour postoperative period between both groups (P-value = 0.066). The MMA group had significantly lower VAS scores reported at the 12-hour, 24-hour, and 48-hour postoperative periods compared with the opioid-based group (P-values = 0.016, 0.020, and 0.020, respectively). No difference was observed in the length of hospital stay between groups (P-value = 0.169).

Discussion:

Implementing an MMA protocol in Hispanic patients undergoing posterior lumbar fusion resulted in decreased overall opioid use and decreased pain intensity compared with the opioid-based group. MMA is an effective alternative for pain control in patients who want to avoid opioid use.

Reforma urbana pela lupa da Geografia:
Authors: Soares de Araujo Larissa
Published: May 2023

Esse artigo apresenta a trajetória de transformações da Associação dos Geógrafos Brasileiros (AGB) e do pensamento da geografia urbana que levaram à inserção e à participação da associação na luta pela reforma urbana, no contexto das discussões da Constituinte, do Movimento Nacional de Reforma Urbana e do Fórum Nacional de Reforma Urbana. Entendemos que o caminho que levou a AGB a atuar nesse movimento da sociedade do final da década de 1980 tem aspectos teóricos e práticos, entendidos em uma relação dialética. Nesse sentido, muitos geógrafos viram a necessidade de desenvolver uma ciência alinhada com a práxis social, o que não ocorreu sem embates internos e sem resistência em um contexto de ditadura militar. Para resgatar esse caminho teórico e prático buscamos relacionar a atuação da AGB às abordagens adotadas pela geografia urbana em diferentes momentos, além das atividades profissionais dos geógrafos ligadas ao urbano e as cidades. Por fim, entendemos que o envolvimento da AGB na luta pela reforma urbana apresentou limitações, pois a participação foi de alguns geógrafos que estavam dentro da AGB e não da Associação de forma coesa.

Published: May 2023

The lack of technical support and maintenance impedes to the utilization of ICT resources in schools. As part of the government’s commitment to achieve the goals embedded in the country’s vision 2020, a number of schools have been beneficiaries of ICT facilities like computers, printers, laptops, LCD projectors, and speakers through the Department of Education Computerization Program (DCP). This descriptive-correlational research study assesses the status of the maintenance and support system of ICT resources in public elementary schools in the District of San Jose, Northern Samar, Philippines. Results revealed that school heads, ICT coordinators, and teachers were least satisfied of ICT maintenance procedure. In the same manner that the school heads, ICT coordinators and teachers support system were moderately satisfactory. There were significant differences in the maintenance procedures among the respondents particularly in replacing or repairing the faulty components and upgrading hardware and software. This concludes varied ways in which the respondents respond to the maintenance of faulty components and upgrading the hardware and software. Furthermore, difference on the technical support workload and technology integration among the three groups of respondents appeared to vary in terms of support system. The finding singles out the varied compliance of the respondents in technical support and technology integration.

Published: May 2023

Abstract
Background: Depression is usually managed in primary care and antidepressants are often the first-line treatment, but only half of those treated respond to a single antidepressant.
Objectives: To compare efficacy of Escitalopram monotherapy versus combination with L-methyl folate or Mirtazapine in first episode of Depression
Design: The comparative follow-up study was conducted from June 2021 to May 2022 in the Department of Psychiatry, MGM medical college, Indore (M.P.).
Setting: Participants were recruited from Psychiatry outpatient department (OPD) in Mental Hospital Indore and MY Hospital, Indore.
Participants: The study included 40 patients of age 18-45 years, attending Psychiatry outpatient department (OPD in Mental Hospital Indore and MY Hospital Indore, fulfilling the inclusion criteria.
Interventions: Participants were divided into three groups- A, B and C. Group A was given Escitalopram as drug monotherapy, and Group B was given Escitalopram with L-methyl folate 7.5mg and group C was given Escitalopram with Mirtazapine 7.5mg combination therapy. Follow up was done on 2nd and 4th to assess improvement in the symptoms.
Results: On comparing HAM scores for R50 (50% reduction in initial HAM score) in each group. In group A, R50 was achieved in 20% patients in the 4th week. In group B, R50 was achieved at 12.5% in the 2nd week, 30% in the 4th week. In group C, R50 was achieved 37.5% in 4th week. The majority of the population in our study belongs to lower socio-economic status and were unemployed resulting in dietary deficiencies hence responded well with L-methyl folate which can cross blood brain barrier.
Conclusions: On the basis of available literature and result of the index study, it can be concluded that combination therapies showed better response suggested by HAM scores at the end of study. Moreover, the response achieved with combination therapies were earlier as compared to monotherapy. This substantiate the findings of previous studies. Thus, the study suggest earlier response rates when patients received L-Methylfolate 7.5mg. When compared with monotherapy both the combination therapies achieved earlier and better response.
Uticaj strukturne izgrađenosti sastojine bijelog bora (Pinus sylvestris L.) na vodni režim zemljišta na krečnjacima u jugozapadnoj Bosni i Hercegovini

Šuma ima važnu ulogu u regulisanju vodnog režima, odnosno prevenciji pojave poplava i bujičnih tokova, što zavisi od vrste drveća koje sačinjavaju sastojinu, stepena sklopa, starosti i strukture sastojine. U ovom radu istraživan je uticaj strukturne izgrađenosti sastojine na vodni režim na primjeru šumske kulture bijelog bora (Pinus sylvestris L.) na krečnjacima u jugozapadnoj Bosni i Hercegovini. U šumskoj kulturi bijelog bora postavljena je eksperimentalna ploha 50x50 metara na kojoj je izvršen potpuni premjer svih taksacijskih elemenata. Pored toga u različitim uvjetima stepena sklopa postavljeni su kišomjeri  pomoću kojih je utvrđivana količina oborina koja dospije do površine šumskog tla. Kišomjeri su postavljeni i na otvorenoj površini u neposrednoj blizini šumske kulture. Istraživanja su pokazala da se sa povećanjem broja stabala na jedinici površine i veće sklopljenosti sastojine povećava zadržavanje oborinske vode u krošnjama stabala i do 30%. U sastojini bijelog bora je utvrđeno 720 stabala po hektaru dok bi za optimalnu intercepciju taj broj trebao biti oko 1.400. Međutim, povećanje broja stabala unutar sastojine se može negativno odraziti na stabilnost sastojine. Kod većeg broja stabala unutar sastojine konkurencija je veća, stabla se suše, vitkost stabala je veća i dolazi do preloma ili izvala stabala. Četrdestogodišnja sastojina bijelog bora je na površini tla formirala šumsku stelju koja ima preko 4 puta veću apsolutnu suhu masu od mase suhe materije pokrova na otvorenoj površini. Istraživanja su pokazala da u skopljenoj sastojini bijelog bora na tlo dospije manja količina oborinske vode, ali da šumska tla imaju bolju sposobnost infiltracije, zadržavanja i ravnomjernog rasporeda vode kroz duži vremenski period. Uzgojnim zahvatima u sastojini može se i sa manjim brojem stabala na jedinici površine postići isti efekat intercepcije ukoliko se potiče bolji razvoj krošnji stabala.

Published: May 2023

This study examined LST distribution in Ethiopia's agroforestry-dominated Gedeo Zone due to Land Use Land Cover change. For 2005, 2011, 2017, and 2022, 10 m Sentinel 2A and 30 m Landsat images were used to extract and map LST and LULC distribution. The DOS1 method corrected atmospheric errors in all satellite images. LULC change was detected using SVM image classification. The study result revealed that the Agroforestry and Built-up coverage has increased by 1520 sq. km and 2600 sq. km, respectively, from 2005 to 2022. The Bare Land and Farm Land coverage decreased by 1554 sq. km and 2565 sq. km, respectively, in the same period. The LST result has shown that there has been a remarkable variation in the spatial pattern of the LST between 2005 and 2022. The average LST in Agroforestry, Bare Land, Farm Land, and Built-up area has progressively increased over the years, from 19.6°C, 26.0°C, 20.2°C, and 25.58°C in 2005 to 25°C, 32.16°C, 28.23°C, and 30.62 °C in 2022, respectively. While in 2005, the maximum recorded LST did not exceed 37.3°C, by 2022, it had increased by close to 3°C, reaching 40.6°C. The overall result revealed that the average LST in °C has increased from 2005 to 2022. From the result, it was concluded that agroforestry had contributed a lot to LST distribution. LST may not depend on the local LULC change only; other factors like urbanization and global warming could play a significant role in changing LST locally and globally.
The trilateral game of privacy perception, financial regulation and central bank digital currency issuance
Authors: Fang Weixing , Liu Nenghua , Pan Qidi , Zhou Bian
Published: May 2023

The goal of this study is to clarify how privacy protection affects the insurance of central bank digital currency (CBDC). By constructing a tripartite game model involving consumers, commercial banks, and regulators, this paper explores the impact of privacy protection on the issuance of CBDC. The findings show that privacy protection is critical to ensuring successful adoption of CBDCs. The central bank must strike a balance between protecting user privacy while also regulating usage and ensuring convenience for users. However, due to opportunistic behavior by both commercial banks and consumers during this process, negative reactions are possible. Based on the findings of this research, it is suggested that central banks should encourage commercial banks to participate in CBDC issuance by promoting appropriate data sharing and offering guidance. Additionally, they should focus on consumer education and expectation management to promote CBDC adoption. Commercial banks must also embrace digital transformation and adapt to the changing financial landscape to remain competitive while providing innovative financial services to customers.

This study aimed to evaluate the antifungal activity and the potential synergistic activity of ten plant extracts (EXs) and ten essential oils (EOs) obtained from the same plant species, namely Agrimonia eupatoria L., Arctium lappa L., Arnica montana L., Bidens cernua L., Corylus avellana L., Echinacea purpurea L. (Moench), Menta piperita L., Trifolium pratense L., Syzygium aromaticum L., and Angelica sinensis (Oliv.) Diels were used. Three species of the genus Candida, namely C. albicans, C. glabrata, and C. tropicalis, isolated from polluted estuarine water, were used in this study. The chemical composition of all EOs was evaluated by gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (GC–MS) and gas chromatography with flame ionization detector (GC–FID) analysis. Firstly, the susceptibility of Candida spp. strains to EXs and EOs was screened by the agar disc diffusion method. Then the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of the tested EXs and EOs was determined in a concentration range from 256 to 0.125 µL/mL. Following that, the effective EXs and EOs were divided into two groups (strong effect and weak effect) and tested in combination (strong + weak) at various concentrations depending on the tested strain to determine their potential synergistic effect using the chessboard pattern. The most sensitive strain to treatments with EXs and EOs tested alone and in mixtures was C. albicans. The most potent combinations with other EXs/EOs were observed with Syzygium aromaticum L., for both plant extract and essential oil, respectively. In this study the EOs and EXs tested in combination were much more effective than when acting on the growth of Candida spp. separately. So, the synergistic effect of the combinations of the EXs and EOs can lead to a reduction in the doses of commercial antifungals and can provide an effective way to reduce the infections caused by yeasts of the genus Candida.

In this present study, we aimed to virtually evaluate the bioactive compounds from Alpinia galanga as inhibitor agent against alpha-glucosidase, which was known as carbohydrate catabolic enzyme. The 2D structure of ligands were retrieved from PubChem database (pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/) and were evaluated based on Lipinski rule of five for ensured the druglike-ness standard, while the sequence and 3D structure of target protein, alpha-glucosidase, was retrieved from UniProt database (https://www.uniprot.org/) and was modelled through SWISS-MODEL (swissmodel.expasy.org/). All ligands used in this study then underwent optimization prior to molecular docking and analyzing procedures. According to our prediction results, we found that galangin and 1's-1'-acetoxychavicol acetate which known as bioactive compounds found in A. galanga have significant potency as inhibitor agents against the alpha-glucosidase due to its binding affinity scores and other physicochemical properties compared to the anti-diabetic drug, mignitol. Thus, from this finding, we have recent starting point to expand the potency of these bioactive compounds, especially for inhibiting the alpha-glucosidase as the novel strategy to reduce the poor prognosis of type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Published: May 2023

Background: The SARS-COV-2 is a worldwide pandemic problem. We developed a herbal extract with potent in-vitro virucidal, anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory effects called EGIVIR. Our aim is to assess the bioavailability and cytotoxicity of EGYVIR on different organs and biological systems in Sprague Dawley rats as a model of experimental animals.
Methods: 128 rats were divided into 16 groups (8 rats each), where Egyvir was assessed in oral doses of 20, 30, and 40 mg/kg body weight, and by inhalation in 0.2, 0.3, and 0.4 mg/kg body weight, four times/day, compared to the control groups.  
Results: The Egyvir had no significant effect on the blood pressure, pulse, motor activity, histological, hematological, and coagulation profiles. Also, the blood levels of triglycerides, cholesterol, blood glucose, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), and creatine phosphor kinase (CPK) were not significantly affected. Egyvir had no harmful effect on the kidney and liver functions, blood electrolytes levels and urinary levels of sodium, potassium, and chloride. There was no significant effect on the serum levels of interleukin-1β (IL-1β), IL-2, IL-4, IL-6, IL-10, interferon- γ (IFN-γ), and tumor necrosis factor- α (TNF-α). Additionally, there was no significant change in the levels of Superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase, reduced glutathione (GSH), and malonaldehyde (MDA) in comparison to the control groups (P<0.05).
Conclusion: Egyvir is considered a safe antiviral natural drug. It could be used for the treatment of SARS-COV-2 without any adverse effects when used with the recommended doses. However, these data are a preliminary step for validation in a clinical setting.

Authors: Garriga Vidal Giselle M.
Published: May 2023

El propósito de esta investigación fue examinar la percepción de estudiantes subgraduados a distancia sobre su nivel de dominio de los conceptos umbrales asociados con las destrezas de información, y la relación con el nivel de ansiedad bibliotecaria que identificaron experimentar. La investigación fue de carácter cuantitativo, con diseño no experimental y alcance correlacional. Se administró un cuestionario electrónico, conformado por dos instrumentos: la Escala de Percepción para las Destrezas de Información de Doyle et al. (2019), y la Escala de Ansiedad Bibliotecaria en Entornos Virtuales, basado en la Escala de Ansiedad Bibliotecaria de Bostick (1992). Participaron 50 estudiantes de 21 años o más, cursando su segundo año en adelante de un bachillerato ofrecido totalmente a distancia en una universidad privada en Puerto Rico. Los resultados sugieren que los participantes tienen una percepción alta sobre su nivel de dominio de los conceptos umbrales para las destrezas de información, y que experimentan un nivel leve de ansiedad bibliotecaria. Esta correlación negativa permite inferir en la importancia del desarrollo de las destrezas de información en estudiantes subgraduados a distancia, para de esta forma, disminuir sus niveles de ansiedad bibliotecaria, los cuales resultan ser adversos en el desempeño académico de los estudiantes (Onwuegbuzie & Jiao, 2004).
Closing the Equity Gap and Improving the Success of All Students in Anatomy and Physiology through a Scaffolded Approach
Authors: Ellison Irina
Published: May 2023

The importance of a diverse healthcare workforce has been highlighted and supported by the literature as a key factor in reducing healthcare disparities and improving access to and quality of healthcare among underserved populations.  However, minorities remain underrepresented throughout the health professions and in New York, the Hispanic population is particularly underrepresented across the health professions.  The largest private Hispanic Serving Institution (HSI) in NY state, Mercy College has a robust health professions program.  However, Anatomy and Physiology (A&P), the gateway course for most health professions students, is the number one obstacle to persistence in those majors.  In addition, this obstacle disproportionately impacts Hispanic students with a resultant equity gap in student success.  Through a multi-pronged scaffolded approach which involved developing and implementing evidence-based inclusive practices we have closed the equity gap and improved the overall student success of all students in A&P 1 lecture and lab, even in the face of COVID.

Published: May 2023

As Agricultural Education shifts to a more science-based
curriculum to help fulfill shortcomings of the current United States science test
scores, teachers implementing Inquiry-Based Learning (IBL) is becoming more important.
For Agriculture Educators to do this, training is necessary for both new and experienced
educators. This study was conducted to gauge teacher attitudes toward and ability to
integrate IBL in the classroom to meet these goals. Teacher knowledge was also assessed
in four life science categories. Study results indicate that teachers have positive
attitudes toward learning about IBL and implementing the model in the classrooms.
Teachers also gained more content knowledge in life science by completing the training.
With proper training and experience in all levels of teachers, IBL methodology can be a
useful tool in the agriculture education classroom.

Community-based programs may contribute to Latino
pediatric obesity prevention; however, attendance remains low. This study aimed to
identify factors associated with Latino father/male caregiver attendance in family-based
adolescent obesity prevention programs conducted as part of a randomized controlled
trial. The study used cross-sectional data from 137 fathers in the program, involving
eight weekly sessions to improve their children’s energy balance-related behaviors.
Evaluation data were collected at baseline and post-intervention. Fathers in a
waitlisted control group attended sessions after post-intervention data collection.
Attendance patterns were identified using cluster analysis: consistently high attendance
(50% of fathers), declining attendance (19%), and non-attendance (31%) clusters.
Multinomial logistic regression was used to examine associations between attendance
patterns and variables. Compared to consistently high attendance, fathers in the
non-attendance cluster were more likely to have been assigned to the control group (odds
ratio [OR] = 7.86, p < 0.001), tended to have lower household income (OR = 2.50, p =
0.098), and attended the program at a site where the program occurred weekdays (OR =
0.35, p = 0.094). Maintaining contact during waiting periods and providing sessions
online or during weekends could reduce non-attendance by enhancing convenience for
low-income fathers working multiple jobs.
