Authors: ES Valsalan , J Jacob , S Kuriachan , DM Kumar , LR Rakhesh
Published: July 2024

Background: Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) induces structural alterations in the umbilical cord and placental vessels. This study aims to understand the potential impact of insulin therapy on arteriovenous anastomosis (AVA) in placenta and umbilical cord. Materials and methods: We collected 52 normal and 59 GDM placentas and umbilical cords from the labour room. GDM specimens were categorized into those treated with diet (GDM-Diet) (n = 23) and those treated with insulin (GDM-Insulin) (n= 36). The umbilical cord was dissected near its insertion to expose the vessels, and arteriovenous anastomoses were documented. Tissues underwent processing and staining for microscopic confirmation of AV anastomosis. Comparison was done between normal and GDM specimens, and notably, between GDM-Diet and GDM-Insulin specimens. Results: Our examination of 59 GDM and 52 normal placentas with attached umbilical cords revealed AV anastomoses in 24 cases. AV anastomosis was observed in 22 (37.3%, n= 59) GDM cases and 2 (3.8%, n=52) normal cases (p=0.0001). Among GDM-Insulin group umbilical cords, 10 (27.78%, n = 36) exhibited AV anastomoses, while GDM-diet specimens displayed a notably higher proportion, with 12 (52.17%, n = 23) demonstrating AV anastomoses (p = 0.05). Conclusion: AV anastomoses are markedly more prevalent in the umbilical cords and placentas of individuals with GDM. Interestingly, within the GDM cohort, prevalence is significantly higher in those managed with diet. Our study highlights the association between GDM management strategies and AVC prevalence, emphasizing the importance of considering vascular dynamics in the management of GDM pregnancies.

BACKGROUND: Increasing the efficiency of diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of periodontal diseases, especially its initial forms, remains challenging.
AIM: To evaluate the effectiveness of treatment of patients with mild and moderate chronic generalized periodontitis (CGP) using phytoextract.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: A comprehensive dental examination and treatment was performed in 120 patients diagnosed with CGP of mild severity and CGP of moderate severity, of whom 47 were men (35.7%) and 73 were women (64.3%).
RESULTS: The use of phytoextract in patients with CGP of mild severity contributed to the improvement of the parameters of the dental status of patients in this group. The course application of complex treatment with the additional inclusion of phytoextract in the main group (MG) led to a decrease in the hygienic index by 54.13% (p 0.05), while reducing the parameter in patients using gel with metronidazole (comparison group — CG) — by 26.3% (p 0.05) compared with the initial values. At the same time, there was a significant decrease of bleeding index (BI) in MG — by 69.2% (p 0.05), with a similar shift in patients with CG — by 32.13% (p 0.05), a decrease of periodontal index (P)I in MG — by 52.9% (p 0.05), in CG — by 38.9% (p 0.05) compared to the initial values.
CONCLUSION: The use of phytoextract in patients of MG contributed to an improvement in dental status, a decrease in hygiene indices, and prolonged action in the long term. As a result of the course of treatment and follow-up, clinical signs of inflammation in periodontal tissues were stopped in patients with CGP of mild severity and CGP of moderate severity, which was accompanied by an improvement in the condition of the oral cavity of patients, the absence of complaints related to the severity of inflammation, and was also confirmed by the values of periodontal indices.

Published: July 2024

This journal presents the development of an innovative algorithm for Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) utilizing the Enhanced Self Lift Luo Converter (ESLLC) developed through Queen Honey Bee Migration (QHBM). The QHBM used for MPPT employs a queen-based decision-making approach to determine the optimal point on solar panels. The queen continuously searches for the Maximum Power Point (MPP), and upon locating it, ceases tracking and starts building a nest. Once the nest is established, the queen resumes the search for MPP. The testing simulation evaluates computing speed, durability, and MPP's margin errors. MATLAB/Simulink is employed for verification. The simulation results demonstrate that the QHBM surpasses other algorithms like PSO, P&O, and FLC in terms of computing speed, durability, and MPP margin errors. The QHBM-based MPPT exhibits superior responsiveness to changes in irradiation and temperature compared to alternative algorithms. This proposed algorithm effectively adapts to varying environmental conditions that influence irradiation and temperature changes. Consequently, the suggested algorithm holds significant promise for practical implementation in dynamic environmental settings.

Published: July 2024

Unemployment is one of the social problems occurring in almost every country in the world. In Indonesia itself, unemployment is dominated by vocational school graduates. Ideally, vocational schools are educational institutions that emphasize the formation of students to be ready and capable of facing the demands of the workforce and industry. However, in reality, vocational school graduates contribute significantly to the high rate of open unemployment in Indonesia. Therefore, various efforts and strategies have been made by various parties including schools to address this issue. One of these strategies is through the Projek Penguatan Profil Pelajar Pancasila. Thus, the aim of this research is to describe and analyze the implementation of the Projek Penguatan Profil Pelajar Pancasila with the theme of employment as an effort to achieve vocational education goals carried out at SMK Syubbanul Wathon in Tegalrejo, Magelang Regency. The approach used in this research is qualitative research with a case study design. The techniques used by the researcher to collect research data are through interviews, observations, and document studies. The results of this research indicate that the implementation of the Projek Penguatan Profil Pelajar Pancasila  with the theme of employment not only shapes students to have abilities according to the demands of the business world and industry through activities such as creating job application letters and CVs as well as interview simulations but also shapes characters in accordance with the Pancasila student profile needed to compete in the global competence arena and support and provide a strong foundation for the competencies possessed by students to avoid misdirection.
Let us be free from “academentia”
Authors: Favaro Laura
Published: July 2024

“Survivor of academentia” is how one former lecturer in sociology described herself when I interviewed her for my ethnography of academia. In particular, the research was exploring the “gender wars”, namely the disputes around sex and gender that have escalated dramatically since the mid-2010s in Britain and increasingly also in many other countries. This article builds on feminist and other critical uses of the term academentia with original insights from interview and document data about the detrimental impact of queer theory and politics. The hope is to stimulate further inquiry into the push towards queering at universities, and beyond, as well as into the connections between the transgender and mad movements.

Authors: Chen Chi Hsiung , Feng Jen Cheng
Published: July 2024

The objective of this study is to investigate how flipped classrooms affect education in high school programs. Although many studies have pointed out that flipped teaching can improve the learning experience and can evaluate learning effectiveness through classroom activities, it may also make it difficult for teachers to grasp students' learning status and behavior, and flipped teaching is used in high school programming course recognition and satisfaction Empirical research is somewhat lacking. Accordingly, this research applies the flipped teaching method to high school programming courses and gathers data on students who watch instructional videos. Through research data analysis, it is found that 51% to 93% of students will actively watch the designated instructional videos before class, and some students will repeat Watch the video (1.3 to 1.8 times), and most students will watch it again during the group project design. In addition, most students have the habit of adjusting the video speed to self-regulate their learning (1.4 to 1.5 times). The questionnaire results indicate that most students prefer the flipped classroom learning method (3.48 to 4.01 points). Through this study, we understand the students' mode of digital learning in programming courses, and we know that flipped classrooms can improve the learning satisfaction of programming courses.
Reducing dietary lipopolysaccharides to slow progression of cognitive impairment and Alzheimer’s disease
Authors: Blake Steven Michael , Baroni Luciana , Blake Catherine Peterson , Harding Thomas , Piboolnurak Panida , Harding Maile , Grant William Burgess
Published: July 2024

We hypothesize that a dietary reduction of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) could reduce risk and slow progression of cognitive impairment and Alzheimer’s disease by reducing neuroinflammation. LPS is a component of the highly inflammatory cell membrane of Gram-negative bacteria. LPS and inflammatory cytokines are elevated in Alzheimer’s disease, both in plasma and in the central nervous system. Inflammatory cytokines, triggered by LPS in food, can enter the brain via active transport and induce microglial activation and inflammatory damage, including loss of synapses and neurons. Excess LPS and inflammatory cytokines can also induce blood-brain barrier damage and increase amyloid-β production. The highest dietary sources of LPS are processed meat and dairy products, which can rapidly raise levels of plasma LPS within one to two hours. For example, there was a 65-fold increase in plasma LPS after eating a thin-crust cheese pizza. The LPS in these foods is transported via chylomicrons into the bloodstream. Smaller amounts of LPS from colonic microbiota do not account for the sharp postprandial increase of plasma LPS. Once in the bloodstream, LPS can increase inflammatory cytokines 2-fold to 68-fold within two hours. LPS increases cytokines via LPS binding protein and cluster of differentiation-14, triggering toll-like receptor-4, and activating nuclear factor kappa-B. Nuclear factor kappa-B can increase cytokine levels, including interleukin-1-beta, interleukin-6, and tumor necrosis factor-alpha. Practical implications: Even low plasma levels of LPS can reduce cognition. Decreasing brain inflammation by reducing dietary LPS can lower risk of cognitive impairment and dementia.
Exploring the impact of hyperlipidemia on cardio-motor function and exercise adaptability in Hispanic-Latinos living with HIV
Authors: Rosario Martin G , McConnell Rebekah , Redding Steven
Published: July 2024

HIV may precipitate a myriad of health-related complications, potentially culminating in disabilities that detrimentally affect the quality of life. Certain conditions, such as hyperlipidemia (LP), which are exacerbated by HIV, can pose additional difficulties for this particular demographic. The aim of this study is to investigate the influence of LP on the cardio-motor profile of Hispanic Latinos living with HIV. The methodology of this study consisted of a submaximal cardiovascular assessment (Ross Test) to collect relevant cardio-motor data for this research. These data were sourced from the records of individuals registered at La Perla de Gran Precio Community Centre for HIV in San Juan, Puerto Rico. The motor profile captured included treadmill speed and incline. Cardiovascular parameters recorded were blood pressure and heart rate at the cessation of the Ross Test. A total of 291 participants were classified into 229 in the non-LP group and 62 in the LP group. The findings of this study showed similar average CD4 counts. An ANOVA analysis revealed significant differences (P < 0.05) in the LP group, including decreased cardio time and treadmill incline compared to their counterparts. Hispanic Latinos living with HIV and LP exhibit notable deficits in motor gait. Gait parameters are particularly compromised in individuals affected by both conditions. The practical implication is to alert healthcare providers to integrate the specific cardio-motor assessments discussed in this study to address the factors influencing gait, which in turn may impact the quality of life of those with HIV.

Published: July 2024

This study analyzed the effect of COVID-19 adaptation strategies on arable crop farmers’ production in the Umuahia Agricultural Zone of Abia State, Nigeria. A multistage random sampling procedure was used to select seventy-two (72) arable crop farmers. Data for the study were collected through a structured questionnaire and analyzed using both descriptive and inferential statistics (using multiple regression and Z-test analyses). The results showed that arable crop farmers had a high perceived effect (= 2.5) of COVID-19 on arable crop production and a high utilization (= 2.4) of COVID-19 adaptation strategies. The mean farm output of arable crop farmers during and after the COVID-19 pandemic was 2112.871 kg/ha and 23222.282 kg/ha, respectively. Multiple regression analysis revealed that intensive use of organic manure (1.3898 coefficients), family labor (2.0466 coefficients), less cultivable farm land (0.18189 coefficients), and access to government aid (0.6994) all had an impact on the output of arable crop farmers in the study area. The Z-test result showed that there were no significant differences between the farm output of arable crop farmers during the 2112.87109 (SD = 3158.6590) and post-COVID-19 2322.2920 (1032.5310) pandemics. The study concluded that arable crop farmers had high utilization of COVID-19 adaptation strategies. The study therefore recommended the formulation of important policy as Nigeria moves from lockdown aimed at promoting economic recovery and measures to mitigate further spread to promote access of farmers to land, which can lead to increased farmer output in the study area.

Authors: Aranguren Mari Jose ,   Universidad de Deusto, Izulain Ane Izulain , Wilson James ,   Universidad de Deusto
Published: July 2024

Foresight has become a science dedicated not only to anticipating potential longterm trends or scenarios, but also to agreeing on desired or preferable futures and defining actions to build these futures from the present. Euskadi 2040 is a shared visioning process to identify what the competitiveness challenges of the Basque Country are and how they are changing, to build sustainable and inclusive wellbeing for the next generation. The process leading to the development of a shared vision for Basque competitiveness in 2040 has been developed in four phases over a period of two years. The main outcome of the process to date is a shared vision for the type of competitiveness desired for the Basque Country in 2040. The process has generated a range of learnings that may be relevant both for progress in the action stages of the Euskadi 2040 process and for other territories seeking to carry out similar regional foresight processes.

Published: July 2024

Background: Natural killer (NK) cells are an important part of the immune system and play a central role in cell-mediated immune responses. Recent studies have shown that NK cells promote organ rejuvenation, thus achieving anti-aging effects from the inside to out. Methods: We amplified and cultured human peripheral blood NK cells and the positive rate reached 43.91%. After purification, the positive rate reached 92.65%. The cultured NK showed a good killing effect on tumor cells and the NK cells reached the standard preparation scale. The NK cells cultured by us were co-cultured with the PBMC of aging macaques and the quantitative PCR and WB results showed that the expression of aging gene and aging protein of the PBMC of aging macaques decreased significantly after co-culture, with statistical significance (P less than 0.01). Result: These results indicate that NK cells prepared with standard preparation have anti-aging effect, which will have extensive significance in preclinical research.

Background: Cluster Front Line Demonstrations were conducted to study the comparative performance of new chickpea varieties in the western parts of Kurnool district, Andhra Pradesh. These demonstrations were conducted at twenty five locations during the Rabi season of two consecutive years (2019-20 and 2020-21). Methods: Three improved chickpea varieties (Nandyal Gram-3, Nandyal Gram-49 and Nandyal Gram-452) were selected to implement these demonstrations and the improved varieties were compared with the locally grown JG-11 variety. Result: During two years of assessment, the pooled results revealed that the highest mean number of pods (51.3) per plant and average pod yield (2234 kg ha-1) were recorded in Nandyal Gram-452 compared to local variety JG-11 (41.2 pods per plant; 1862 kg ha-1). The lowest incidence of fusarium wilt was recorded in Nandyal Gram 452 (6.14%) followed by Nandyal Gram 49 (9.73%) and Nandyal Gram 3 (12.04%) compared to JG-11 (15.83%). The lowest dry root rot was also observed with Nandyal Gram-452 variety (10.92%) compared to JG-11 (18.19%). The higher average net income (80486 Rs ha-1) and benefit cost ratio (2.9) were realized in the demonstration with the improved Nandyal Gram-452 variety in comparison to lower net income (58370Rs ha-1) and benefit cost ratio (2.3) with JG-11. These results clearly indicated that the improved chickpea variety Nandyal Gram 452 is the best alternative old variety JG-11 which is being cultivated since 2005.

This research discusses the impact of collaborations between fashion brands and animation studios amongst the customer. This phenomena has been intriguing for the researcher because recently in the last few years there have been countless collaborations between these brands. The brands have impacted the customers’ preferences and they purchase these collaboration items for many different reasons. The researcher started this research by mapping the background of these collaborations. After analyzing the background, the researcher started to find the topic or goal of this research which is finding the reasons behind why these collaborations are (most likely) to be successful. Following finding the focus on this research was a part of the beginning steps, the researcher started finding literature works related to my topic. Journals, academic articles, news articles and others that are related to fashion, brand collaboration, collaboration marketing, animation studios and so much more. These literatures helped me find the definition and information regarding aspects that are related to my research. After reading these literature works the researcher analyzed each of them and divided them into sections within my research. As the researcher has mentioned before, the researcher discussed the definition. Information, reasons, how it impacts other parts of the research or why they are related. After the literature review was finished the researcher continued to conduct a survey to receive first primary sourced data. The survey that was conducted consisted of questions related to the customers’ knowledge regarding anime, fashion brands, brand collaborations, their shopping preferences, their standard to shop a branded product and so much more. The survey received 151 respondents for my survey. From this survey the researcher received new information regarding my research and this definitely helped me in finding the reasons behind why customers or the market are interested in purchasing collaboration products between animation and fashion brands. The step after conducting the survey was analyzing the data that the researcher has collected. The researcher used descriptive and quantitative analysis from the graphs of the survey’s result. The researcher made a conclusion and analysis of each question’s answers. The answer with the highest amount in a question becomes the true answer or represents the majority of the population. After representing the survey’s data in the form of graphs and statistical analysis. The result of the survey and findings from the journal shows that there are various effects of brand collaborations towards the customers, whether they are from the animation series’ market or outside the market. There were also additional insights regarding people who are not interested in purchasing collaboration products, they gave their perspective about their reasonings on why they won’t be buying those items.
