Published: December 2022

In this paper, we investigate the property of core compactness of ordered topological spaces. Particularly, we give a series of characterizations of the core compactness for directed spaces. Several results obtained in this paper are closely related to a long-standing open problem in Open problems in Topology (J. van Mill, G. M. Reed Eds., North-Holland, 1990): Which distributive continuous lattice's spectrum is exactly a sober locally compact Scott space?
Selecting a set of best stochastic inventory policies measured by opportunity cost
Authors: Almomani Mohammad H. , Alrefaei Mahmoud H.
Published: December 2022

In the present article, we consider the stochastic inventory model aiming at selecting a subset of best policies with minimum total cost. When the computational budget is limited, then the optimal computing budget allocation (OCBA) is used for allocating the available computational budget to the different policies in order to correctly select the best policies. To measure the quality of the selection, we use the expected opportunity cost (EOC) approach that measures the total difference means between the actual best policies and the selected policies. The proposed algorithm OCBA based on EOC is implemented on a stochastic inventory example. The results show that the EOC approaches zero as the total number of computational budgets increases and that using the EOC measure gives better results than using the probability of correct selection (PCS). Moreover, the numerical results indicate that the proposed algorithm is robust.
Differential sandwich theorems involving Riemann-Liouville fractional integral of $ q $-hypergeometric function
Authors: Lupaş Alina Alb , Oros Georgia Irina
Published: December 2022

The development of certain aspects of geometric function theory after incorporating fractional calculus and $ q $-calculus aspects is obvious and indisputable. The study presented in this paper follows this line of research. New results are obtained by applying means of differential subordination and superordination theories involving an operator previously defined as the Riemann-Liouville fractional integral of the $ q $-hypergeometric function. Numerous theorems are stated and proved involving the fractional $ q $-operator and differential subordinations for which the best dominants are found. Associated corollaries are given as applications of those results using particular functions as best dominants. Dual results regarding the fractional $ q $-operator and differential superordinations are also considered and theorems are proved where the best subordinants are given. Using certain functions known for their remarkable geometric properties applied in the results as best subordinant, interesting corollaries emerge. As a conclusion of the investigations done by applying the means of the two dual theories considering the fractional $ q $-operator, several sandwich-type theorems combine the subordination and superordiantion established results.
Fairness-aware genetic-algorithm-based few-shot classification
Authors: Wang Depei , Cheng Lianglun , Wang Tao
Published: December 2022

Artificial-intelligence-assisted decision-making is appearing increasingly more frequently in our daily lives; however, it has been shown that biased data can cause unfairness in decision-making. In light of this, computational techniques are needed to limit the inequities in algorithmic decision-making. In this letter, we present a framework to join fair feature selection and fair meta-learning to do few-shot classification, which contains three parts: (1) a pre-processing component acts as an intermediate bridge between fair genetic algorithm (FairGA) and fair few-shot (FairFS) to generate the feature pool; (2) the FairGA module considers the presence or absence of words as gene expression, and filters out key features by a fairness clustering genetic algorithm; (3) the FairFS part carries out the task of representation and fairness constraint classification. Meanwhile, we propose a combinatorial loss function to cope with fairness constraints and hard samples. Experiments show that the proposed method achieves strong competitive performance on three public benchmarks.

Authors: Zang Dongmei , Sheng Xinlei , Wang Liya , Yang Aimin , Xue Tao , Li Jie
Published: December 2022

Multitarget threat evaluation of warship air attacks is one of the most urgent problems in warship defense operations. To evaluate the target threat quickly and accurately, an air attack multitarget threat evaluation method based on improved TOPSIS gray relational analysis is proposed. This method establishes threat assessment system of five attributes of target type, anti-jamming ability, heading angle, altitude, and speed. The weight coefficient of each index of the warship is obtained by combining the entropy weight method with the analytic hierarchy process. Topsis can make full use of the information of the original data, and its results can accurately reflect the gap between various evaluation schemes. The weighted Mahalanobis distance and comprehensive gray correlation between the attribute to be evaluated and the positive and negative ideal states are calculated by the improved TOPSIS gray correlation method. The target threat degree to be evaluated is obtained by combining the two methods. Finally, an example is given to prove the effectiveness of the evaluation model.

Published: December 2022

Little is known about the use of WhatsApp in promoting oral health among parents or caregivers. Therefore, the survey examined the impact of social media in disseminating health infographic messages in supporting children's oral health from the parent's perspective. The group of respondents read or saw posts or messages related to health education through Facebook (n=85, 31.9%), WhatsApp (n=68, 25.2%), and YouTube (n=61, 22.6%). There was a significant difference before and after the infographics were sent to the respondent, and it was found to be statistically significant (P-value <0.001). As a social media platform for oral health education purposes, WhatsApp appeared to improve parents' knowledge and behaviors towards their children's oral health. Most respondents perceived WhatsApp to be beneficial. Knowing how people use social media now could help health communication efforts be more effective and equitable.
Multiple Hierarchically Structured Criteria in ARAS Method Under Fuzzy Environment
Authors: Ghram Maroua , Frikha Hela Moalla
Published: December 2022

The aim of multiple criteria decision aiding (MCDA) is to assist decision makers (DMs) to make rational decisions with respect to their preferences. In fact, the ranking approaches are the most used ones nowadays in the MCDA field because they are easy to understand by DMs and they are based on realistic assumptions. The hierarchical additive ratio assessment (ARAS-H) method is a ranking method. It represents an extension of the ARAS method in case of hierarchically structured criteria. However, most often, the DM is unable to provide precise performance values. Henceforth, in order to facilitate the task for him, he is asked to provide linguistic variables. Thus, the authors adopted the fuzzy logic. As a matter of fact, the fuzzy set theory takes into account the subjectivity of experts' ‘judgments.' In the light of the above, the fuzzy ARAS-H (F-ARAS-H) algorithm was developed as an extension of the ARAS-H method in a context of a fuzzy environment. To discuss the feasibility of the proposed algorithm, a case study on the selection of a green supplier was presented.

Published: December 2022

To present the biodiversity information, a semantic model is required that connects all kinds of data about living creatures and their habitats. The model must be able to encode human knowledge for machines to be understood. Ontology offers the richest machine-interpretable semantics that are being extensively used in the biodiversity domain. Various ontologies are developed for the biodiversity domain; however, these ontologies are not capable to define the Indian biodiversity information though India is one of the megadiverse countries. To semantically analyze the Indian biodiversity information, it is crucial to build an ontology that describes all the terms of this domain. Since the curation of the ontology depends on the domain where these are used, there is no ideal methodology defined yet. The aim of this article is to develop an ontology that semantically encodes all the terms of Indian biodiversity information in all its dimensions based on the proposed methodology. The evaluation of the proposed ontology depicts that ontology is well built in the specified domain.
Multi-Class Plant Leaf Disease Detection Using a Deep Convolutional Neural Network
Authors: Jadhav Shriya , Lal Anisha M.
Published: December 2022

Traditional machine learning methods of plant leaf disease detection lack successful performances due to poor feature representation and correlation. This paper presents a novel methodology for automatic plant leaf disease detection using cascaded deep convolutional neural network (CDCNN) which focusses on increasing the feature representation and correlation factors. It provides distinctive features that gives low intra-class variability and higher inter-class variability. CDCNN were performed on a plant-village leaf disease database which consists of 13 classes of tomato, potato, and pepper bell plant diseases; DCNN model performs better with an overall accuracy, recall, and precision of 98.50%, 0.98, and 0.97 respectively. Additionally, performance of the proposed algorithm is evaluated on real time cotton leaf database for bacterial blight, leaf miner, and spider mite diseases detection and provides 99.00% accuracy. The proposed DCNN outperforms well compared to traditional machine learning and deep learning models and is able to detect the diseases present in the leaves of the plant.
Evaluating the Veracity of Software Bug Reports using Entropy-based Measures
Authors: Kumari Madhu , Singh V. B. , Sharma Meera
Published: December 2022

The wide usage of open source software (OSS) results in an increase of bug data forming an integral part of the extensive data ecosystem. This bug report data needs to be analyzed for bug fixing and prediction of various important attributes like bug severity, priority, fix time, assignees, etc. The increased volume of bug data and different bug reporters from different geographical locations make veracity an important concern. We assume that the bug reports (i.e., different bug attributes) reported in software bug repositories are trustworthy during the bug triaging process. In reality, the bug report data are not trustworthy regarding various aspects like integrity, authenticity, and trusted origin as the bugs are reported by users who may or may not have proper knowledge of the software. In this paper, we proposed entropy-based models for veracity estimation of different bug attributes.

Authors: Kalashetty Mahindra B. , Channappagoudar Ranganath , Alwandikar Vanishree , Naik Dinesh L. , Hulakund S. Y. , Guddad Aishwarya
Published: December 2022

Background:

Hip fractures are the most common orthopedic condition in elderly patients. In this patient group, efficient preoperative analgesia that reduces the requirement for opioids and their negative side effects is crucial. This study aims for evaluating the efficiency of fascia iliaca compartment block (FICB) and pericapsular nerve group (PENG) in providing the appropriate analgesia before positioning patients for spinal anesthesia (SA).

Methods:

Ninety participants undergoing hip surgeries under SA were selected randomly to receive PENG block (n = 45) using 20 mL 0.25% bupivacaine or FICB using 30 mL of 0.25% bupivacaine. The blinded observer assessed Visual Analog Scale (VAS) scores at rest, with passive leg raise to 15° before and after 30 min of the block. The blinded observer also recorded hemodynamic parameters including noninvasive blood pressure respiratory rate and heart rate. The data were analyzed using SPSS version 19. Using the appropriate statistical methodology, continuous and categorical data were analyzed, and P ≤ 0.05 was considered statistically significant.

Results:

At rest and with a passive leg raise to 15°, VAS scores in the PENG and FICB groups decreased significantly (P < 0.0001). After 30 minutes of performing the PENG block, the VAS scores at rest and passive leg raise were 2.16±0.67 and 3.29±0.73 respectively, whereas with the fascia iliaca block the VAS scores at rest and passive leg raise were 4.07±0.69 and 5.11±0.71 with the p = 0.001, which is highly significant.

Conclusion:

PENG block outperforms fascia iliaca block in providing effective analgesia before positioning patients undergoing hip surgery under SA.

Published: December 2022

Background:

The internet has become an essential part of life, and it has both beneficial and detrimental effects. There is a plethora of evidence relating to the effect of internet addiction on psychological health. There is also an unmet need to lay the foundation for the differences in usage and the effects on mental health in regard to the use of the internet for rural and urban students.

Materials and Methods:

The present study was conducted on 200 adolescent subjects belonging to the urban and rural areas around the city of Varanasi to establish the pattern of use of the internet as well as its psychological implications. The participants were evaluated upon the Internet Addiction Test (IAT) and General Health Questionnaire-12 (GHQ-12), and information pertaining to socio-demographics as well as accessory information related to internet usage were captured through semi-structured proforma.

Results:

The results indicated no significant differences in the pattern of internet usage (mean IAT score) as well as psychological health (mean GHQ-12) between urban and rural youth. There was a significant positive association between the overall severity of internet use with poor psychological health (GHQ-12 score). There was a significant difference in the overall mean age as well as the mean age of onset of internet use between both groups (rural versus urban). This study highlighted an important issue of the digital divide based on gender-wise differences in the pattern in the overall sample.

Conclusion:

This study highlighted the important differences in the pattern of internet use among the rural and urban populations with its clinical implication being a need to educate the youth regarding the healthy use of technology.

Authors: Morgan Noran H , Arakeep Heba M. , Haiba Doaa A. , Aboelgoud Morsy A.
Published: December 2022

Background

Burns are a global health problem, accounting for about 180 000 deaths annually especially in low- and middle-income countries. Many reports have concentrated on the role of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) in the treatment of soft tissue burn lesions.

Aim

This work aimed to study the role of Masson’s trichrome stain in evaluating the effect of PRP on induced thermal burn in adult male albino rats.

Materials and methods

In all, 50 adult male albino rats were divided into blood donor group (10 rats), control group (10 rats), and experimental group (30 rats). The experimental group was further subdivided into subgroups A, B, and C. For the experimental group, the rats were anesthetized and exposed to thermal burn. Subgroup A were subjected to contact thermal burn and left without treatment. Subgroup B were subcutaneously injected with 0.3 ml of autologous PRP. In subgroup C autologous topical PRP was applied. Skin specimens were obtained and stained by Masson’s trichrome for histological evaluation at days 1, 7, 14, and 28 after burn induction.

Results

The subgroups that were treated by PRP were found with better collagen organization and earlier restoration of normal histological features of skin tissue.

Conclusion

Application of different forms of PRP (injectable and topical) helps healing of burn wounds.

Authors: El Shahat Ahmed Abo Zaid Aya A.E.A. , Zaghloul Mohammad I. , Mabrouk Maaly M. , Nofel Hanaa E.
Published: December 2022

Background

The chronic inflammatory autoimmune illness of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is defined by continuous symmetrical joint inflammation and joint distortions, as well as by bone loss which leads to a serious handicap. Calprotectin is a heterodimer formed by two proteins (S100A8 and S100A9) released from leukocytes, macrophages, and monocytes, with an important role in the process of several inflammatory diseases including RA.

Aim

The present research seeks to study the discriminatory capacity of calprotectin to distinguish between clinically active and inactive disease in RA patients despite the recently used laboratory examinations being normal.

Patients and methods

This study included 60 patients (25 patients diagnosed as active RA with low C-reactive protein (CRP); 15 patients diagnosed as active RA with high CRP; 20 patients with inactive RA (remission); and 20 apparently healthy volunteers as the control group.

Results

When RA patients were compared with healthy controls, serum calprotectin levels were significantly higher. Serum calprotectin levels were also shown to have statistically significant relationships with Disease Activity Score 28 score, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, and anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide. Serum calprotectin showed an 88% sensitivity and 90% specificity for detecting RA activity at a threshold level of more than 6 ng/dl.

Conclusion

Calprotectin plays an essential role in evaluating illness activity in RA patients, with added usefulness in assessing RA’s inflammatory activity, particularly in individuals who do not have high levels of conventional acute-phase reactants like interleukin-6 (erythrocyte sedimentation rate, CRP).

Authors: Sheir Linah H.T. , Elhawary Eslam E. , Abdelnaby Amira Y. , El Hay Mashhor Eman Abd
Published: December 2022

Background

Primary immune thrombocytopenia pupura (ITP) is an autoimmune disorder caused by both increased peripheral platelet destruction and impaired platelet production. The main mechanism of thrombocytopenia is the production of autoantibodies against platelet-membrane glycoproteins. Alterations in the blood levels of cytokines and chemokines in ITP patients, including the anti-inflammatory cytokine interleukin (IL)-10, were previously documented.

Aim

The aim of this study was to evaluate serum IL-10 level in ITP patients and its clinical significance.

Patients and methods

This prospective case–control study was conducted in the Clinical Pathology Department on 40 children with ITP equally divided into acute and chronic groups who were admitted to Pediatric Department – Tanta University. Twenty healthy children of matched age and sex served as the control group.

Results

Serum IL-10 levels were significantly higher in patients with acute ITP compared with patients with chronic ITP and healthy controls. Splenectomy was statistically significantly higher in the study group than control group, as well as rash and epistaxis. There was a significant negative correlation between IL-10 level and platelets, aspartate aminotransferase and alanine aminotransferase in acute ITP group. In addition, there was a significant negative correlation between IL-10 level and platelet count but a significant positive correlation with creatinine in chronic ITP group.

Conclusion

The higher levels of IL-10 found at the onset of ITP in patients with acute disease emphasize the role of this cytokine in immunotolerance, besides providing a promising indicator of the clinical progression of the disease.

Results

Vitamin D+MSG significantly decreased the body weight, serum levels of glucose, insulin and homeostasis model assessment-estimated insulin resistance, triglycerides, tumor necrosis factor-alpha, aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase, and the liver malondialdehyde, while increased the liver glutathione levels and improved the liver histological findings compared with MSG group.

Conclusion

Vitamin D has a hepatoprotective effect on the MSG-induced obesity and nonalcoholic fatty-liver disease.
Localization of epileptic focus in children with intractable epilepsy
Authors: Mohamed A. Basiouny , Khaled H. Rashed , Hassan G. Nassar , Ahmed A. Kandeel
Published: December 2022

Background

Epilepsy is a common neurological disorder. Preoperative evaluation of intractable epileptic patients requires identification of the brain area that is responsible for generating seizure activity. The developments of functional brain imaging with positron emission tomography, single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT), and functional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) have ensured its clinical relevance.

Aim

The aim of this work was to evaluate the role of Tc-99m hexamethylpropylene amine oxime brain-perfusion SPECT and comparing it with MRI) and electroencephalogram (EEG) in the localization of epileptic focus in children with medically intractable epilepsy.

Patients and Methods

The study population consisted of twenty children with medically intractable epilepsy. They were subjected to complete history taking, clinical assessment, laboratory assessment, and radiological assessment, including EEG, traditional MRI, and SPECT.

Results

Medically intractable epilepsy is more likely to occur in children with early age of onset, high frequency of seizures per month, more reliability of febrile seizures, and having associated neurological abnormalities. It is more likely to occur in focal forms of seizures than in generalized forms. Children with focal EEG activity and focal seizures are the most likely group to have abnormal brain MRI results and abnormal cerebral perfusion in SPECT. MRI is very important in the localization of structural lesions, but SPECT in localization of functional lesions.

Conclusion

Interictal SPECT results were nearly the same as the MRI results.

Correlation between optimized thicknesses of capping layer and thin metal electrode for efficient top‐emitting blue organic light‐emitting diodes
Authors: Cho Hyunsu , Joo Chul Woong , Kwon Byoung‐Hwa , Kang Chan‐mo , Choi Sukyung , Sin Jin Wook
Published: December 2022

The optical properties of the materials composing organic light‐emitting diodes (OLEDs) are considered when designing the optical structure of OLEDs. Optical design is related to the optical properties, such as the efficiency, emission spectra, and color coordinates of OLED devices because of the microcavity effect in top‐emitting OLEDs. In this study, the properties of top‐emitting blue OLEDs were optimized by adjusting the thicknesses of the thin metal layer and capping layer (CPL). Deep blue emission was achieved in an OLED structure with a second cavity length, even when the transmittance of the thin metal layer was high. The thin metal film thickness ranges applicable to OLEDs with a second microcavity structure are wide. Instead, the thickness of the thin metal layer determines the optimized thickness of the CPL for high efficiency. A thinner metal layer means that higher efficiency can be obtained in OLED devices with a second microcavity structure. In addition, OLEDs with a thinner metal layer showed less color change as a function of the viewing angle.

TRETMAN PARODIJE U PRAVU ŽIGA
Authors:   University of Kragujevac, Faculty of Law, Lučić Sonja
Published: December 2022

Famous trademarks such as Puma, Milka or trademarks used to label luxury goods such as Yves Saint Laurent or Céline are increasingly being parodied. In addition, trademarks used to label food or luxury products are also subject to parody. Motives for parody are mostly of an economic nature or the artist's desire to express himself in a comical way and at the same time publicly expose well-known trademarks to criticism. The author discusses the legal background of parody in trademark law. Namely, it is not always possible to specify whether and when trademark parody is allowed. In any case, it is important to distinguish parody from other forms of possible trademark infringement, such as satire, piracy, paraphrasing, fluid trademarks. The paper will analyze the relevant foreign case law that has trademark parody as its subject, with a focus on the case "Puma vs. Pudel".

The opposition proceeding has been introduced for the first time in Serbian trademark law with the new Trademark Law in 2020. The opposition proceeding has been present in European trademark law for quite some time, although, until recently, member states haven’t been obliged to implement it in their national law systems. Harmonizing its law with European legal traditions, the Republic of Serbia has introduced the opposition proceeding. In the following paper, the author aims to examine the way this legal institute is regulated in other law systems, especially EU law, and compare it with the solution of Serbian law. The author firmly believes that it is necessary to analyze the way in which the harmonization of Serbian trademark law has been conducted and is it in line with our law and the intentions of European legislation.

Mitos y verdades. Sobre el acné
Authors: Sánchez Martini Pía Florencia , Formaggia Valentina
Published: December 2022

Los suplementos dietarios a base de proteínas del suero (whey proteins) son ampliamente consumidos por los jóvenes deportistas con el objetivo de aumentar la masa muscular. Existe evidencia fisiopatológica de que favorecen la aparición del acné mediante la elevación de los niveles plasmáticos de insulina posprandial y del factor del crecimiento similar a la insulina (IGF-1) basal. Esto lleva a la reducción del factor de transcripción FoxO1, regulador clave de los genes diana implicados en la patología. Su deficiencia se ha vinculado a los principales desencadenantes del acné, como activación de los receptores de andrógenos, comedogénesis, aumento de la lipogénesis sebácea e inflamación follicular.
