Published: January 2022

HI is a very rare type of genetical abnormality but can be seen and scared by seeing various social media footages. It is associated with deletion and
truncation mutations of a keratinocyte lipid transporter. Harlequin disorder is categorized by diffuse epidermal hyperkeratinization along with
defective desquamation. During birth, the HI phenotype is conspicuous with thick hyperkeratotic plate-like scales with deep dermal ssures,
severe ectropion and eclabium, among other ndings. In this ichthyosis marked eclabium and ectropion are present secondary to the taut as well as
in the unyielding skin. The ears may be inattentive, absent or poorly developed. Even the arms, feet, and digits have exion contractures and may be
hypoplastic. The skin wall is harshly compromised, leading to undue water loss, causes electrolyte abnormalities, temperature alteration and an
increased risk of deadly infection. Some of the primary treatments are smearing retinoids application for shedding the hard and scaly skin, topical
antibiotics application can prevent infection, insertion an ET tube in the airway to assistance with breathing, applying lubricating eye drops or
protective devices on the eyes. Following ongoing treatment like humidied incubator (for premature infants), continuous monitoring of TPR and
SpO2, early intubation(optional), frequent cultures of the skin should be taken for lab testing, monitoring serum electrolyte levels, maintaining a
germ-free environment to evade infection etc.

Mucosal Lesions Related to Toombak Dipping in the Sudanese
Authors: Abdalla Mohammed
Published: January 2022

Background: Mucosal changes related to smokeless tobacco dipping appear to be influenced by many factors; including duration of dipping, frequency of dipping, chemical ingredients of the dipped stuff, in addition to possible genetic and racial factors. In the Sudan the habit of using smokeless tobacco (Toombak) is very common, and it is associated with pathological mucosal changes classified into five distinct clinical presentations: Presentation I; wrinkling with slight discoloration, Presentation II; Café au lait discoloration (Brownish discoloration), Presentation III; smoke-white discoloration, Presentation IV; grizzle discoloration, and Presentation V; cotton-white discoloration.

Material and Methods: In this observational prospective study, a survey of oral cancer across 16 different localities was held in the Sudan. A total of 285 Toombak dippers agreed to be examined and of them 161 patients were found to have Toombak dipper-lesions. The clinical presentations of these lesions were identified and recorded into 5 different presentation categories. Furthermore, 64 specimens were cut and stained with Haematoxylin and Eosin (H&E). Microscopic diagnosis was obtained using both WHO-5-Point grading classification and the binary system. The history of the time span was matched with the related clinical and microscopic findings.

Results: Regarding the 161 cases; the lower vestibule was the preferred dipping site in 75(46.6%) cases. The average Age of Commencement (AoC) was 24.5 years. The average Estimated Contact Hours (ECH) was 22,338 ± 40,824 hours; equal to 2.55 contact years in lifetime. The dominant mucosal clinical presentation was wrinkling with/without slight discolouration; found in 54 cases, and accounting for 33.6% of the sample. Of the 64 specimens, 51 cases showed hyperkeratosis, 11 cases showed mild dysplasia and the remaining three cases showed severe dysplasia; two cases were cotton- white presentations, and one case was a grizzle presentation.

Conclusion: Twenty per cent of Toombak dippers-lesions showed dysplastic cells. The grizzle and the cotton- white clinical presentations are associated with high-risk dysplasia. A significant relationship was found between the clinical presentation and the AoC. No significant relationship was found between the clinical presentation and the Impact of Time Duration (TD), in terms of life-time duration of dipping, number of dippings/day, dip-duration and the Estimated Contact Hours (ECH).

Authors: Tendenan Vani Mega Rianna Mantong
Published: January 2022

Naomi experiences the loss of her husband and two children is the opening narrative of the book of Ruth. Naomi's loss becomes an experience of faith that drives the narrative of the book of Ruth. This paper aims to eliminate the loss in the perspective of the book of Ruth specifically based on Ruth 1:1-22 by using the exegesis method that pays attention to the context, genre, and content of the text. The stages carried out are the first to explain the exegesis method, namely narrative, the second is to describe the context, the third is to analyze the genre of the book of Ruth, and the fourth is to analyze the words wattissaer, noomi, and mara. Then fifth notice the text of Ruth 1:1-22. Based on the research results on the text of Ruth 1:1-22, the authors found the word wattissaer as an indication of the cause of the emergence of the name game from Naomi from the word noomi to mara. The historical context, authorship, and theological context of the book of Ruth show the loss of Naomi as part of the experience of faith to see God's role in it. Wordplay becomes possible in the book of Ruth because its genre as a story or narrative also supports the narrator in doing so. The author sees the loss experienced by Naomi as not an ordinary loss but a loss that can be understood as part of God's test of Naomi's faith, which then changes Naomi's name to respond to complaints to God but not to suing God. AbstrakNaomi mengalami peristiwa kehilangan suami serta kedua anaknya yang merupakan narasi pembuka Kitab Rut. Kehilangan yang dialami Naomi menjadi pengalaman iman yang menggerakkan narasi Kitab Rut. Tulisan ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji kehilangan dalam perspektif kitab Rut secara khusus berdasar pada Rut 1:1-22 dengan menggunakan metode eksegesis yang memperhatikan konteks, genre, dan isi teks. Adapun tahap-tahap yang dilakukan ialah pertama penjelasan metode eksegesis yaitu naratif, kedua penjabaran konteks, ketiga menganalisis genre dari kitab Rut, keempat analisa terhadap kata wattissaer, noomi, dan mara. Kemudian kelima menafsirkan teks Rut 1:1-22. Berdasarkan pada hasil penelitian terhadap teks Rut 1:1-22, penulis menemukan kata wattissaer sebagai indikasi penyebab munculnya permainan nama dari Naomi dari kata noomi menjadi mara. Konteks sejarah, kepenulisan dan konteks teologis kitab Rut menunjukkan peristiwa kehilangan Naomi sebagai bagian dari pengalaman iman untuk melihat peran Allah di dalamnya. Permainan kata menjadi sangat mungkin dalam kitab Rut karena genrenya sebagai cerita atau narasi juga mendukung narator dalam melakukannya. Penulis melihat kehilangan yang dialami Naomi bukanlah kehilangan biasa melainkan kehilangan yang dapat dipahami sebagai bagian dari ujian Allah terhadap iman Naomi yang kemudian perubahan nama Naomi menjadi respons keluhan kepada Allah tetapi bukan menggugat Allah.

Silviculture can facilitate repeat prescribed burn programs with long-term strategies
Authors: York Robert A. , Levine Jacob , Foster Daniel , Stephens Scott , Collins Brandon
Published: January 2022

A significant expansion of prescribed fire activity will be necessary to mitigate growing wildfire hazard in California forests. Forest managers can facilitate this expansion by promoting forest structures that allow for more effective implementation of prescribed fire, for both initial-entry and repeat burns. We analyzed changes in surface fuel during a series of three burns in replicated mixed-conifer stands following a period of over 100 years of fire suppression and exclusion. Total fuel load, proportion of pine present, canopy cover and basal area of live trees were relevant forest-structure components that influenced plot-scale fuel consumption. The study highlighted the importance of pre-fire fuel load and the relative proportion of pine in the overstory, which both led to greater amounts of fuel consumption. The initial-entry burn dramatically reduced all fuel categories (fine fuel, coarse wood and duff). Following each burn, fuel recovered until the next burn reduced loads enough to maintain low fuel levels. We apply the results to provide an example of how to determine the timing of prescribed fires.

Authors: Cofaru Nicolae Florin , Pascu Adrian , Oleksik Mihaela , Petruse Radu
Published: January 2022

Obtaining parts made of composite materials through 3D Printing Additive manufacturing have fully proved their usefulness due to a number of advantages such as: the possibility to directly create complex shapes without going through the classic process of transforming the semi-finished products into finished parts through technologies which consume resources and energy and are totally unfriendly to the environment. The main disadvantage of the parts made by 3D Printing technologies is that they are less resistant from a mechanical point of view. This was solved with the emergence of the 3D printers capable of printing composite parts consisting of a plastic matrix reinforced with continuous fibers. This research focuses on studying 4 types of composite materials from the point of view of their mechanical properties: Onyx - a rigid nylon in which micro carbon fibers are inserted and Onyx reinforced with carbon, fiber glass or kevlar. Standardized specimens were made for the uniaxial tensile test and the experimental program was designed evaluating: the Elastic modulus [GPa], the Maximum Tensile stress [MPa], the Tensile strain at maximum Tensile stress [mm/mm]. The principal strains were also determined, by means of the digital image technique made using the Aramis system from GOM. The experimental tests confirm that these new materials will be serious candidates to be used in the engineering applications in various fields.

Published: January 2022

The study aims to identify changes in non-performing household loans (NPLs) and their main determinants in the Polish banking sector for the period 2009-2021. Specifically, we look at the main determinants of creditworthiness of households which determine the possibility of repayment of principal installments and interest within the prescribed period. The results of the VECM model confirm the considerable significance of GDP per capita, gross salaries and lending rates to NPL loans of households. The results of the response function show a positive impact of GDP per capita and lending rates on NPLs and a negative impact of real salaries on NPLs. The decomposition of variance in the forecast period confirms an increased level of explanation of NPL by GDP per capita, gross salaries, and the lending rates.

It is substantiated that organic connection of intellectual capital structural elements will enable forming economic security of the enterprise during the current period and providing economic security parameters in the long term. Based on the data obtained from mining and beneficiation enterprises, it is demonstrated that this will be possible due to growth of an innovative level of technological processes which will contribute to product quality enhancement that, in turn, will expand the client base.

This study investigates the impact of ownership structure and corporate governance (CG) on the capital structure using 798 firm-year observations of listed companies in the Amman Stock Exchange (2005-2018). The Ordinary Least Squares is utilized to examine the relationships between the dependent variable (i.e., leverage) and a set of independent variables, including ownership concentration factors (proxied by the institutional and largest shareholder) and CG factors (proxied by board size, CEO/chairman duality, board composition, a committee of nominations and remuneration, meetings number). Empirical The data reveal a strong negative (positive) relationship between the largest shareholder (institutional shareholder) and capital structure. Regarding the CG factors, the regression results show that board size, composition, and several meetings are the only factors correlated significantly positively with capital structure. Our examination is primarily motivated by the inconclusive and limited empirical evidence on the association between ownership and governance factors and capital structure. It enriches the literature by providing an updated model on capital structure factors from a non-Western setting. This study adds new evidence by capturing the effect of the unique characteristics of developing countries and the institutional environment. Using data from one of the Middle Eastern nations (Jordan), this study is the first to examine ownership and governance elements in capital structure research over an extended period. The results of this investigation benefit regulatory authorities in monitoring and regulating the corporates. This led to considering the factors affecting Jordanian firms' capital structure. The evidence generated in our study supports the development of strict CG schema rules by protecting the safety of stakeholders and policymakers.

Sputtering onto liquids: a critical review
Authors: Sergievskaya Anastasiya , Chauvin Adrien , Konstantinidis Stephanos
Published: January 2022

Sputter deposition of atoms onto liquid substrates aims at producing colloidal dispersions of small monodisperse ultrapure nanoparticles (NPs). Since sputtering onto liquids combines the advantages of the physical vapor deposition technique and classical colloidal synthesis, the review contains chapters explaining the basics of (magnetron) sputter deposition and the formation of NPs in solution. This review article covers more than 132 papers published on this topic from 1996 to September 2021 and aims at providing a critical analysis of most of the reported data; we will address the influence of the sputtering parameters (sputter power, current, voltage, sputter time, working gas pressure, and the type of sputtering plasma) and host liquid properties (composition, temperature, viscosity, and surface tension) on the NP formation as well as a detailed overview of the properties and applications of the produced NPs.

We present mass and radius measurements of K2-79b and K2-222b, two transiting exoplanets orbiting active G-type stars observed with HARPS-N and K2. Their respective 10.99 day and 15.39 day orbital periods fall near periods of signals induced by stellar magnetic activity. The two signals might therefore interfere and lead to an inaccurate estimate of exoplanet mass. We present a method to mitigate these effects when radial velocity (RV) and activity-indicator observations are available over multiple observing seasons and the orbital period of the exoplanet is known. We perform correlation and periodogram analyses on subsets composed of each target's two observing seasons, in addition to the full data sets. For both targets, these analyses reveal an optimal season with little to no interference at the orbital period of the known exoplanet. We make a confident mass detection of each exoplanet by confirming agreement between fits to the full RV set and the optimal season. For K2-79b, we measure a mass of 11.8 ± 3.6 M
⊕ and a radius of 4.09 ± 0.17 R
⊕. For K2-222b, we measure a mass of 8.0 ± 1.8 M
⊕ and a radius of 2.35 ± 0.08 R
⊕. According to model predictions, K2-79b is a highly irradiated Uranus analog and K2-222b hosts significant amounts of water ice. We also present a RV solution for a candidate second companion orbiting K2-222 at 147.5 days.
D’une formation à l’entrepreneuriat aux prémices d’une « andragogie entrepreneuriale » : le cas des Très Petites Entreprises (TPE) bretonnes
Authors: Mégret Jean-Michel
Published: January 2022

Cet article interroge les pratiques de formation et d’accompagnement des entrepreneurs et vise à identifier quels pourraient être les apports de l’andragogie, comme perspective spécifique de recherche dans le champ de la formation à l’entrepreneuriat. D’un point de vue empirique, notre approche de praticien (entrepreneur)/chercheur s’appuie sur une démarche méthodologique mixte, menée auprès de plus de cent entrepreneurs bretons. Les résultats aboutissent à la proposition d’un dispositif expérimental de formation construit autour des principes d’une « andragogie entrepreneuriale », dans le but d’« éveiller les entrepreneurs » en les guidant « à entreprendre » (responsables de leur vie), plutôt que de les former à « être entrepreneur » (responsables d’une entité juridique).
