Authors: Moharram Laila , Al-Alawi Yousef , Hariri Nosaibah , Ghorbel Ismail , Hamoud Ebtesam
Published: November 2022

Objectives:

Thyroid cancer is one of the most common cancers and its incidence continues to grow in high-income countries. Combined with an excellent survival and stable mortality rate, this increase in incidence is due to overdiagnosis, particularly with the wide use of ultrasonography and other imaging modalities. This study aims to address the issue of thyroid cancer overdiagnosis, and how the recent guidelines can reduce the burden of diagnosis of incidental and indolent lesions, as well as de-escalating the treatment.

Materials and Methods:

All thyroid cancer cases diagnosed at King Salman Armed Forces Hospital from 2012 to 2020 were reviewed. A descriptive analysis was performed on the clinicopathologic relevant variables, including age, gender, tumor type, pathologic variant type, tumor size, stage, papillary micro-carcinoma, extra-thyroid extension, tumor focality, lymphovascular invasion, recurrence, and baseline thyroglobulin. We excluded subjects with nay (not applicable or missing) data points to get accurate statistical results and were left with pure papillary carcinoma cases

Results:

Of the cases of papillary thyroid carcinoma, a significant proportion of which (23%) are microcarcinoma (≤1 cm), a tumor usually found incidentally and rarely causes clinical symptoms. Only two cases out of the microcarcinomas have shown regional lymph node metastasis (4%). No distant metastasis or tumor-related death is encountered. A similar proportion of our cases is the previously called noninvasive follicular variant of papillary thyroid carcinoma encapsulated follicular variant papillary thyroid carcinomas (PTC).

Conclusions:

Awareness of thyroid cancer overdiagnosis is important to reduce the unnecessary surgical interventions, patient psychological distress, and postoperative complications.

Published: November 2022

Background:

Our aim was to assess the relationship between postoperative recurrent low back pain and vertebral body end-plate signal intensity changes on magnetic resonance imaging in disc herniation patients.

Materials and Methods:

The preoperative magnetic resonance images of 748 patients were retrospectively reviewed. End-plate changes were separated into three groups according to the Modic classification. The postoperative clinical improvement was defined according to the Kawabata criteria. The localization and type of end-plate degeneration and improvement after the operation were analyzed with Pearson's Chi-square test.

Results:

End-plate degeneration was found in 394 of 748 patients. Single-level and multiple-level end-plate changes were present in 70.4% and 29.6% of the patients, respectively. Type 2 (85.5%), type 1 (10.7%), and type 3 (3.8%) degenerations were encountered in order of frequency. The severities of the end-plate changes were mild, moderate, and severe in 63.2%, 32.7%, and 4.1% of the patients. Type 1 and type 2 degenerations correlated with clinical course in the postoperative period (P < 0.05).

Conclusions:

Type 1 and type 2 degenerative end-plate changes seen on preoperative magnetic resonance scans can influence the clinical course and be an indicator of postoperative back pain.

Published: November 2022

This study explored the environmental determinants of different months on snail density measured in April at different types of snail habitats (marshlands, inner embankments, and hills) by considering spatial effects. Data were gathered from surveys on snails that were conducted in Hunan Province in April 2016, and information was collected on environmental variables. To investigate the environmental factors influencing snail density in various types of snail habitats, the ordinary least square model, spatial lag model, and spatial error model were all used. The environmental determinants for snail density showed different effects in the three types of snail habitats. In marshlands, snail density measured in April was associated positively with the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) and was associated negatively with flooding duration and annual hours of sunshine. Extreme temperatures correlated strongly to snail density measured in April (P < 0.05). In areas inside embankments, snail density measured in April increased with a decreased distance between snail habitat and the nearest river (P < 0.05). In hills, extreme heat, annual hours of sunshine, NDVI in September, and annual average land surface temperature (LST) were associated negatively with snail density measured in April, whereas index of moisture (IM) was associated positively with snail density measured in April (P < 0.05). The effects of LST and hours of sunshine on snail density measured in April varied with months of the year in the three different types of snail habitats (P < 0.05). Our study might provide a theoretical foundation for preventing snail transmission and subsequent spread of schistosomiasis.

Case Report: Disseminated Vegetating Plaques Occurring over Chronic Recalcitrant Dermatophytosis in an Immunocompromised Patient
Authors: Chhabra Namrata , Raut Saurabh , George C Anju
Published: November 2022

Blastomycosis-like pyoderma (BLP) is an uncommon tissue response possibly to bacterial infection that presents as vegetative skin lesions usually in immunocompromised patients. Staphylococcus aureus is the most frequent pathogen implicated in BLP. Here, we report the case of a 32-year-old man who had ulcerative vegetating lesions on extremities for 3 months over preexisting recalcitrant tinea lesions. The patient was hypertensive with a history of chronic graft rejection after renal transplantation 8 months earlier and was on long-term immunosuppressants. Investigations revealed anemia, mild hyperglycemia, and elevated serum creatinine. Histopathology showed suppurative and fibrosing perifolliculitis with moderate pseudocarcinomatous hyperplasia and the culture of biopsy specimen demonstrated growth of Escherichia coli and Citrobacter koseri. The diagnosis of BLP overlying dermatophytoses was made. The skin lesions improved completely with parenteral antibiotics. Local immune dysregulation by dermatophytoses along with iatrogenic immunosuppression may have favored this rare pyoderma.

Visually impaired or blind person faces many challenges in their daily activities, including purchasing medicines. To overcome this limitation; there is an innovative braille reading and writing system that has been introduced in the labelling of the packaging of pharmaceutical products. The aim of this research is to measure the impact of innovative Braille-labelled pharmaceutical packaging on the attitudes and purchase intention of visually impaired and blind consumers. We adopted quantitative and qualitative approaches. The quantitative research aims to obtain measurable data in relation to the attitudes and purchase intention of visually impaired and blind consumers, on a sample of 72 visually impaired and blind people. Whereas, the qualitative research allowed us to investigate the opinions leaders: doctors in chemist, in relation to the current situation of visually impaired and blind consumers, in the field semi-structured interviews with 6 pharmacy doctors, exploring the importance of Braille labelling of packaging for pharmaceuticals product. The results allowed us to validate the hypotheses; Packaging for pharmaceutical products labelled in the Braille system has a positive effect on the attitudes of visually impaired and blind consumers. Packaging for pharmaceutical products labelled in Braille has a positive effect on the purchase intention of visually impaired and blind consumers. Attitudes have a positive effect on the purchase intention of visually impaired and blind consumers. The results allowed us to highlight the views of doctors in chemists regarding the importance of introducing Braille labelling into the design of pharmaceutical packaging.
Creating communities: A way of entering foreign markets in 2022
Authors: Krah Bernhard , Miklošík Andrej
Published: November 2022

For companies, the top priority always lies in selling their products and keeping expanding the market to make them competitive. There are many ways to expand and discover new markets, which companies would be able to sustain long-term. Marketing communication within and outside the company is an important way to achieve this. Communities are the key factor for successful companies because they are the communicative bridge to their (potential) customers and employees. Community building can be one of the approaches of discovering and entering new markets. Until now, most companies have communicated in the direction of the customer, like a monologue. In such an approach to marketing communication, the company talks about its product and advertises it to the customer. In order to not lag behind and remain competitive, companies should change marketing communication to a so-called multilogue. This means that customers and interested parties talk to each other about the product and the company. The company only serves as an initiator of new topics and as a moderator. In this way, a community can be established that builds sustainable relationships between the target group and the company. In contrast to mass media, the internet is particularly well suited for dialogue, but also for multilogue. Communication can take place in all directions: between the provider and the consumer, between the consumer and the provider or directly from one consumer to another. The main aim of this paper is to identify the different approaches and platforms that can lead to success and the obstacles that can arise. In the end, we will present a case study of a young company that implements a similar approach and has been very successful so far, measured in terms of turnover and the number of customers.
The marketing potential of personalisation of shipping packaging
Authors: Volfová Hana , Svobodová Eliška , Pechová Jana
Published: November 2022

The goal of the paper is to find out consumers' attitudes towards the marketing usage of shipping packaging. With the growing importance of e-commerce, retailers are looking for new ways to engage consumers. While the marketing importance of consumer packaging has long been known and described, the design and function of shipping packaging also needs to be explored. Qualitative research (combination of experiment and interview) was conducted to examine differences in the personalization of shipping packaging according to different age cohorts and also to find critical attributes of shipping packages for the consumers. The research demonstrated the real potential of personalisation. Because of this, it is possible to observe changes in consumer behaviour leading, among other things, to greater consumer satisfaction, a tendency to repeat purchases or a willingness to pay extra for personalised packaging.
On Strongly pi-Regular Rings with Involution
Authors: Cui Jian , Danchev Peter
Published: November 2022

Recall that a ring R is called strongly pi-regular if, for every a in R,
there is a positive integer n, depending on a, such that a^n belongs to the
intersection of a^{n+1}R and Ra^{n+1}. In this paper we give a further study of
the notion of a strongly pi-star-regular ring, which is the star-version of
strongly pi-regular rings and which was originally introduced by Cui-Wang in J.
Korean Math. Soc. (2015). We also establish various properties of these rings
and give several new characterizations in terms of (strong) pi-regularity and
involution. Our results also considerably extend recent ones in the subject due
to Cui-Yin in Algebra Colloq. (2018) proved for pi-star-regular rings and due
to Cui-Danchev in J. Algebra Appl. (2020) proved for star-periodic rings.

მოკლე აღწერა

აბსტრაქტი. ნაშრომის მიზანია ადამიანური რესურსების განვი­თა­რების მიმართულებით, საქართველოს საჯარო და კერძო სექტორში არსებული ძირითადი ტენდენციების მიმოხილვა და პრობლემური საკითხების გამოკვეთა, რისთვისაც გამოყენებულია სამაგიდე კვლევის მეთოდი.

ორგანიზაციებში დასაქმებული ადამიანები ქვეყნის მოსახლეო­ბის ნაწილს წარმოადგენენ. აქედან გამომდინარე, მათ განვითარებაზე საუბარი თავად ერის განვითარების ზოგადი შეფასებით უნდა დაიწ­ყოს. ამ მიზნისათვის ხშირად გამოიყენება ისეთი ინსტრუმენტები, როგორებიცაა ადამიანური განვითარებისა (HDI) და გლობალური ცოდ­­ნის ინდექსი. ორივე ინდექსის მიხედვით, საქართველოს მაჩვენებ­ლე­ბი წლების განმავლობაში ზრდას განიცდიდა და მსოფლიოს საშუა­ლო მაჩვენებელს ძირითადად აჭარბებდა. ასეთი შედეგებით იგი ძ­ა­ლიან მაღალი მაჩვენებლების მქონე ქვეყნების ჯგუფში ხვდება, თუმცა, უნდა აღინიშნოს, რომ ინდექსები თავის მხრივ მრავალ კომპონენტსა და სუბინდექსს მოიცავენ, რაც შესაძლოა მაღალი ელემენტების ხარჯზე დაბალი მაჩვენებლების კომპენსირებას იწვევდნენ. შესაბამისად, სა­ქართ­ველოს მოსახლეობის განვითარების დადებით დონეს საჯარო და კერძო სექტორში გამოვლენილი არაერთი პრობლემა უპირისპირდება.

Decommunization in Ukraine: redistribution of a symbolic resource
Authors: Kyrydon Alla
Published: November 2022

May 21, 2020 marks five years since the so-called "decommunization laws" came into force in Ukraine. Their adoption and implementation was the result of long and complex socio-political and state-building processes. The process of decommunization gained momentum against the background of overloading society and the state with a wide range of political, social and communication problems. The need to solve them was dictated by the adoption of a number of legislative acts of a decommunization nature was due to the need to overcome these problems in Ukraine. The purpose of the scientific article is to determine the nature and benchmarks of decommunization, as well as to outline the complex process of transformation of symbolic space in Ukraine. It is important that in fact the process of decommunization in the public life of Ukraine began not in 2015, but much earlier. The first wave of decommunization formally took place in the 1990s. Decommunization is a system of measures in the sign-symbolic space, which is aimed at destroying the markers of the past, liberation from the influence and consequences of communist ideology not only in public life, but also in all spheres of life of the state and society. The strategic goal of decommunization is the systematic and complete elimination of the Soviet ideological and symbolic heritage not only from the public space, but also from the public consciousness. The main means of decommunization are: condemnation of crimes of the totalitarian regime; lustration; removal / dismantling of symbols (monuments, monuments, etc.) of the past era; change of toponymic landscape; redefining / rethinking "places of memory"; introduction of new memorial practices; reformatting / shifting the semantic accents of museum expositions; creation of a harmonious era and process of literary and artistic canon and narrative, etc. In the spring of 2018, there were reports in the Ukrainian media about the successful completion of decommunization (at least in terms of public space). However, decommunization is an unfinished project in terms of its strategic goal. The decommunization campaign of 2015-2019 turned out to be, first of all, a nationwide public ritual of symbolic purification.

Subject interpretation and analysis of international relations from the standpoint of history and political theory - the most common in the system of modern social science. However, political science analysis of international relations has relatively recently acquired the status of a discipline: political science of international relations. The Law of Ukraine “On Higher Education” and the relevant resolutions of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine have formed new directive approaches and standards for the application of areas of knowledge in the field of scientific training. In particular, this applies to the humanities and specialties, which include "Political Science" and "International Relations". On the basis of the specified requirements and provisions of definition of a condition and tendencies of development of these disciplines it seems actual and substantiated.

Published: November 2022

As of late, an organic methodology of combining nanomaterials through ecological green-based procedures including regular materials, for example, plants, microscopic organisms, parasites, ocean growth, polysaccharides, biodegradable polymers, e-waste, plant-mediated things, and green methodology has persisted to be utilized as an elective technique for the combination of zinc and zinc oxide nanoparticles. Besides expanding energy for proficient green science, biosynthetic procedures intended for creating nanoparticles have stimulated many intrigues since they are ecologically amicable, no intermediate addition of stabilizing agent, less costly, and clean innovation. They neither include perilous synthetic concoctions nor have impurities and consequences. Of these bio-elements, plant concentrates have extraordinary consideration because of their capacity to decrease and balance out metal nanoparticles in a solitary advanced combination utilizing their regular qualities. This owes to their multitudinous and convoluted compositions, natural organic Phyto- ingredients biomolecules being in- factory separates (alkaloids, flavonoids, polyphenols, terpenoids, and tannins) as reducing as well as stabilizing instrumentalities. Primarily, this paper gives revived check of zinc oxide nanoparticles and the changes, headlines, and current employments of verdant ways exercising natural coffers. Farther, this review aims to analogize colourful hiatuses and terminations of conflation and characterization styles. Also, this review has covered biomedical operations with emphasis on cancer treatment, anti-microbial exertion, and medicine quittance fields.
Detectives and The Legal System: A Paradigm to Support Scholarly Inquiry and Mixed Methods Research in the Social Sciences
Authors: Bernauer James , Hartle Frank
Published: November 2022

It is argued in this article that the legal system, from initial investigation by detectives to final resolution in court by lawyers, judges, and juries, offers a basis for investigating phenomena in the social sciences using mixed methods. We think that this new paradigm combines the components of both the qualitative and quantitative paradigms and provides a practical model for conceptualizing and conducting mixed methods research. The implication of this new paradigm is that it may help us better understand underlying phenomena in scholarly inquiry and thus offers a potential contribution for using a mixed-methods approach in both education and the social sciences. However, adopting and adapting this paradigm for mixed-methods inquiry will require further exploration and empirical replication.
A New Method to Bridge New Materialism and Emotional Mapping: Spatio-Emotional Experiences in Disaster-Affected Brazilian Favelas
Authors: Sou Gemma , Carvalho Juliana , Cidade Natalia , Nico Maria Eugenia
Published: November 2022

Within the field of emotional mapping, and mapping more broadly, nonhuman things are often understood as mere instruments - they have utility but not agency to shape meaning-making. In this paper we experiment with a new method that aims to challenge the dualism between human and non-human things by bridging new materialism and participatory emotional mapping. We experimented with this “new materialist methodology” during a one-day workshop to explore residents’ spatio-emotional experiences in a disaster-affected favela in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Reflecting on this one-day workshop, we argue that materials with diverse colors, textures, shapes, densities, weights, and smells are key collaborators in emotional mapping. Materials have agency to invoke and evoke diverse emotions with past, present, and future temporalities, and which fall within and beyond the positive-negative emotion binary. Materials can facilitate conviviality and discussion amongst mapping participants, which enables participants to speak about their emotional-spatial experiences with more nuance and complexity.
ETHOS, PATHOS, LOGOS DAN KOMUNIKASI PUBLIK: A SYSTEMATIC LITERATURE REVIEW
Authors: Aisyah Meidy
Published: November 2022

Aristotle's rhetorical theory is one of the oldest communication theories. Aristotle's rhetoric is concerned with 'argument', which seeks to persuade an audience especially in the context of public communication. This journal aims to see the trend of Aristotle's rhetorical studies, categorize them based on the concept of artistic proofs and based on the topic of study, as well as to develop (purify) based on the assumptions of classical rhetoric theory using the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method. We found that rhetorical theory studies by Aristotles are dominated by political communication topics. This journal also found a decrease in the number of studies using Aristotle's rhetorical theory. We argue that the character of rhetorical theory, which is considered "old-fashioned" and does not have clear guidelines, becomes an obstacle in the analysis process of a study that uses this rhetorical theory. Although most of the article studies mentioned the definition of the concept of artistic proofs correctly, in-depth analysis using artistic proofs was not found. We also found a misunderstanding of Aristotle's rhetorical theory that was less precise and did not look at the historical theory development in several selected journals.

Menyiram tanaman merupakan suatu gerakan yang harus dipandang sebagai pemeliharaan karena memerlukan pemasukan air yang cukup untuk melakukan fotosintesis dalam mendapatkan kebutuhannya untuk berkembang. Selama ini menyiram tanaman hanya menggunakan metode manual yang berdasarkan tanaman terlihat kering atau tidak kering (layu). Dalam mengatasi metode manual tersebut dibutuhkan metode terbaru dalam menyiram tanaman, yaitu dengan metode automatis dengan cara membuat sistem monitoring data logger pada tanaman. Hasil yang didapatkan dalam penelitian ini adalah kelembaban tanah yang terbaca pada LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) ketika nilainya kurang dari 500 maka tanaman dikategorikan basah dan relay “LOW” dan ketika nilainya lebih dari 500 maka tanaman dikategorikan kering dan relay “HIGH”, dan tanaman akan tersiram secara automatis.

Authors: Sari Diana Puspita , Mirza A. Haidar
Published: November 2022

face detection is a fundamental and important process in the field of facial recognition. The aim of this face detection was to determine the presence and mark the position of the face through an image called a bounding box. The problem that we often encounter in attendance machines is that it is often difficult and takes a few seconds to perform facial recognition with a low level of accuracy. Therefore, an attendance system that is faster and more accurate in recognizing faces is needed with the aim of increasing better accuracy. This research was undertaken by applying the You Only Look Once (yolo) algorithm with several test scenarios to see the performance generated by the system, because yolo is one of the fastest and most accurate methods for object detection and even exceeds 2 times the capabilities of other algorithms. The yolo (you only look once) algorithm is an architecture of deep learning and an algorithm developed to detect an object in real-time. Regarding to the classification performance measurement from the training data, it indicated that the accuracy value has reached 90% thus it can be concluded that the system can work wellt.

The development of information technology at this time has succeeded in providing an evolution that leads to digital-based banking services (digital banking) in Indonesia. This is driven by the need for convenience in making payment transactions in Indonesian society. However, the process of digitizing banking services in Indonesia is still relatively slow. User acceptance of digital banking service applications is one of the supporting factors for the successful application of digital banking technology today. This study aimed to measure the acceptance of digital banking by customers of Government Bank in Greater Jakarta (Jakarta, Bogor, Depok, Tangerang, Bekasi) by using the UTAUT 2 model. This study used a sample of 100 respondents to scrutinize the respondents' views based on variables: performance expectancy, effort expectancy, social influence, facilitating conditions, hedonic motivation, price value, habit, trust, perceived risk, and knowledge. Data Analysis was performed using Structural Equation Modelling Partial Least Square (SEM-PLS). The results of the convergent validity test showed that all indicators have a loading factor value above 0.7, and the reliability test results show the value of Cronbach's Alpha above 0.7, which indicates that the variable is valid for further testing. The structural equation model with behavioral intention and using behavior as a dependent variable indicated that some variables had no significant effect. The results of the p-values test show that performance expectancy, and facilitating conditions have a significant effect on behavioral intentions and that behavioral intentions, trust, and knowledge have a significant effect on use behavior.

Authors: Devi Yohana Chrisya Diana Komala
Published: November 2022

Dalam Buku Model Pembelajaran Bahasa Inggris di SMA dari Pusat Kurikulum disebutkan bahwa lulusan SMA harus menguasai dua jenis kompetensi, yaitu kompetensi produktif (vocational skill) dan kompetensi antar pribadi (interpersonal skill). Kecakapan interpersonal mencakup kecakapan berkomunikasi (communication skill) dan kecakapan bekerja sama (collaboration skill). Jenis kompetensi ini ternyata memegang peranan yang sangat signifikan dalam persaingan merebut kesempatan kerja. Oleh karena itu, pembelajaran Bahasa Inggris memainkan peran yang penting karena tidak dapat dipungkiri bahwa Bahasa Inggris merupakan bahasa pengantar yang digunakan secara luas di dunia kerja. Masih banyak keluhan dari berbagai pihak tentang rendahnya kemampuan lulusan SMA untuk berkomunikasi dalam Bahasa Inggris, terutama dalam komunikasi secara lisan. Salah satu alasan kegagalan pembelajaran ketrampilan berbicara Bahasa Inggris adalah karena lebih dari 50 % siswa tidak berani berbicara Bahasa Inggris di depan kelas karena takut salah, terutama karena mereka tidak yakin dengan apa yang harus disampaikan dan bagaimana harus mengatakannya. Hal ini menyebabkan rendahnya aktivitas dan kemampuan siswa dalam pembelajaran berbicara Bahasa Inggris. Dengan fenomena seperti itu dibutuhkan suatu model pembelajaran yang tepat dalam berbicara dengan Bahasa Inggris, sehingga siswa dapat lebih mudah  dan cepat dalam menguasai ketrampilan berbicara tersebut. Salah satu model pembelajaran yang dinilai sesuai adalah metode Telling Story. Oleh karena itu perlu dilakukan penelitian untuk mengetahui efektifitas pembelajaran dengan metode Telling Story untuk meningkatkan aktivitas dan kemampuan siswa dalam berbicara Bahasa Inggris.

An Analysis of The Issues and Challenges Related to The Status of Child Labour in India
Authors: Ashutosh Singh
Published: November 2022

Children are considered to be the group in society that are most vulnerable to abuse and exploitation. He is viewed as the man's father. We ensure the future of the country by securing his present and ensuring that he has access to the fundamental freedoms required for growth and development. More than 10 million children in India are employed as child labourers in both industrial and domestic settings. These children are vulnerable to workplace physical and psychological abuse as well as working in dangerous factory environments for little to no pay. The kid labourer lacks the education, health, and strength necessary for their development. Such pursuits prevent the growth of the mind and personality. Lack of income for families, migration, social situations, etc. forces a youngster to be made to labour under abusive circumstances. The government has a responsibility to recognise the terrible condition of the child and to take action to protect their fundamental human rights. The implementation of constitutional protections, proper enactment of laws, the involvement of the judiciary and the public at large, as well as recognition of the abhorrent conditions of child labourers' workplaces, have all contributed to efforts to alleviate their predicament.
