Published: September 2024

The increasing number of reported cases of direct transmission of avian influenza viral strains to humans is obviously associated with the threat of a new pandemic and the need for a more detailed study of the pathogenesis of the viral infectious process. The aim of the research was to study the pathogenesis of influenza infection and in particular to establish the role of proinflammatory cytokines in the pathogenesis of the inectious process caused by influenza virus subtype A/WSN/1/33(H1N1). The experiment involved 21 male BALB/c mice aged 4-6 weeks weighing 16-18 g, which16were infected intranasally with influenza A/WSN/1/33(H1N1) virus under ether anesthesia by inoculation of 50 µl of allantoic fluid containing 10 LD50 of the virus. Histological studies were performed on samples of lung and liver tissues.  It was evidenced that infection caused by the highly pathogenic for mice influenza virus A/WSN/1/33(H1N1) initiates the spreading of dystrophic and necrotic processes mainly in the lungs and liver. This can occur due the increase of proinflammatory cytokines leading to the violation of the circulatory system triggered by the active reproduction of the virus and toxic manifestations on behalf of cellular immunity. Structural changes in the lung and liver tissues of mice experimentally infected with the influenza A/WSN/1/33(H1N1) virus indicated the presence of a large amount of the virus at all stages of the experiment that requires further research.

Graphene-functionalized photonic crystal fibers for detecting the refractive index of a wide range of analyzes
Authors: Salim Neamah Farah , A Yasser Hassan
Published: September 2024

This study looks into a new photonic crystal fiber (PCF) sensor covered in graphene that can detect changes in the analyte's refractive index (RI) in the COMSOL environment. The sensor operates by detecting a peak in light loss that varies in wavelength based on the RI of the analyte. Higher RI analytes shift the peak towards longer wavelengths. It is explored how many factors affect the sensor's performance, such as graphene's Fermi energy, the site inside the fiber, and the thickness of the gold layer. The location of graphene and its Fermi energy have a substantial influence on how the sensor responds. Interestingly, the resonant wavelength has a linear relationship with the RI of the analyte, which allows for precise RI calculation. Increasing gold thickness improves light-material interaction, but subsequent thickening has a detrimental impact, lowering sensor sensitivity. The appropriate thickness varies according to the material under consideration. Finally, the analysis determines the optimal arrangement of graphene for maximum sensitivity by completely covering the analyte holes in the PCF. By finding the right balance between these factors, the suggested sensor can have both high spectral sensitivity and low sensor resolution.

The aim of the study is to compere the performance of the assistant referee without and with the flag, based on existing and novel tests. Introduction: Millions of fans around the world are invested in the game of soccer, cheering on their favorite team, practicing their skills in the park, or simply watching from afar via the media. As such, fairness in refereeing is of the utmost importance, regardless of the level of game or the teams who are playing. The refereeing team plays a critical role in enforcing the rules of the game and ensuring fair play on the field. In addition to working together in the utmost coordination, the referee, two assistant referees, and the standby official are required to oversee the entire match, while making crucial decisions in split seconds. In addition to their verbal communications, assistant referees must carry and use their flag throughout the game, as means for signally their decisions. When running along the sideline, assistant referees hold the flag in opposite hand to the direction in which they’re moving at that time – resulting in up to 30% of their movements during the game being sideways movements. Testing and comparing the athletic abilities of assistant referees is therefore an essential component in ensuring the accuracy and fairness of soccer matches. Assistant referees play a critical role in enforcing the rules of the game, and their ability to run quickly and accurately while holding a flag can have a significant impact on the outcome of the performance. Participants: 18 assistant referees (two female) who are on the staff of the National League in the Israel Soccer Association. The participants’ mean (±SD) variables were as follows: age=29yrs (±3.4); height=178cm (±0.06); weight=68.22kg (±10.45); fat percent=14.67% (±4.86); and seniority on the league=3.11yrs (±1.45). Results: Show that in all the tests the performance was significant better without the flag (RST, agility test and linear speed), the performance decrement % (RST), show no significant result, P<0.05, t (0.91) = 17. Conclusions: the referee run faster without the flags but the no deferent in the fatigue, so they have to train and testing with flags like in the game.

Authors: Sathyan Anish , P Palanisamy
Published: September 2024

In agriculture, our farmers currently lack efficient methods to classify and identify plant nutrient deficiencies or diseases, leading to ineffective remedial measures. However, the potential for early detection of plant nutrient deficiencies using colour gradients or leaf patterns, coupled with the advancements in Image Processing, Deep Learning (DL), and Artificial Intelligence (AI), offers a promising future. This paper presents deep learning-based methods to segregate nutrient deficiencies using leaf images, a potential game-changer for the industry. Our research has the potential to revolutionize plant nutrition management, inspiring a new wave of efficient and effective practices in agriculture. We analyzed the International Plant Nutrition Institute (IPNI) dataset and applied an image augmentation mechanism to enhance the training process with the available dataset. By utilizing Artificial Neural Network (ANN), Convolutional Neural Network (CNN), and learning algorithms, we minimised loss and improved accuracy. The model, incorporating over 1.5 million parameters, has shown promising results in predicting deficiencies accurately. We propose an SGD-based training mechanism to balance localization and classification tasks, a step towards a more efficient and effective approach to plant nutrition management.

Published: September 2024

Considering the important role of foreign direct investment (FDI) in economic growth and integration, this paper seeks to thoroughly analyze the outward FDI pattern of Vietnam to its 15 major FDI recipients (accounting for approximately 94% of Vietnam's OFDI) using the gravity theory and a robust panel data approach for the comprehensive annual data over the period of 2007 – 2022. By determining the main destinations of Vietnam’s Outward FDI through the creation of social, economic, and political indices via the principle component analysis (PCA), the empirical results conclusively prove the positive impacts of the political index, social index, the existence of a common border, and accession to the WTO on the Vietnamese OFDI volume, while geographical distance is found to negatively impact the flow. As the main practical policy implications, issuing policies for sustainable economic growth, creating the novel strategy of FDI neighborhood policy, and fostering regionalism through FTAs (Free Trade agreements) are highly recommended.
Principles for state approaches to commercial cyber intrusion capabilities: Navigating the policy challenges of cyber intrusion markets
Authors: Shires James
Published: September 2024

The rapid growth of markets in which cyber intrusion capabilities can be bought and sold as products and services by states, companies and criminals raises thorny policy challenges that are not adequately addressed by existing concepts of legitimate and illegitimate use. This paper explores these challenges, and puts forward a set of principles to help governments and wider society navigate commercial markets for cyber intrusion. Important policy interventions have been made over the past decade to counter the misuse of commercial cyber intrusion capabilities. These focus variously on governments, companies and individuals, but have been initiated by a relatively narrow group of like-minded actors. The principles recommended in this paper, underpinned by a fresh distinction between ‘permissioned’ and ‘unpermissioned’ intrusion, are intended to promote greater coherence and consistency of approaches, and to widen the scope for consensus.

Authors: Sihotang Marisi Cintya Debby
Published: September 2024

ABSTRACT
Background:Penile squamous cell carcinoma is the  most common penile malignance found in the world. Assessment of  stromal tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (STILs) associated with grading against  penile squamous cell carcinoma can provide  a potential prognostic picture  and help determine the action.
Method:Cross-sectional  analytical study  with 32 samples of histopathological preparations diagnosed as  penile squamous cell carcinoma  at H. Adam Malik Hospital Medan. The assessment of stromal TILs was carried out by assessing the number of lymphocyte inflammatory cells in  the peritumoral stroma and then determined the assessment score, zero score no lymphocytes (minimum), score one found 0-10% lymphocytes (moderately), score two found 20-40% lymphocytes  (massive) , score three found 50-90% lymphocytes. Grading assessments are categorized into  grade  I (well differentiated), grade  II (moderately differentiated), and  grade III  (poorly  differentiated).  
Result:The most grading found was grade II (43.8%) and the most STILs found were score three (50.0%). There is a significant relationship between grading and  STILs in  penile squamous cell carcinoma  (p value=0.0001) i.e. the higher  the STILs score  , the lower  the tumor grade.
Conclusion:There is a relationship between STILs and  histopathological grading in Penile Squamous Cell Carcinoma  so that it can be used as an indikasi prognosis in patients with  penile squamous cell carcinoma.

Published: September 2024

Introduction
Cell-size area (CSA) becomes the standard parameter routinely tested in vitro for cardiac hypertrophy studies. Thus, staining is an essential tool for this purpose. As reported in a previous study, immunofluorescence staining is an established method for CSA. However, because it is expensive and requires a specialized microscope, e.g., immunofluorescence or confocal microscope, it is not applicable in a laboratory with limited equipment. Wright-Giemsa staining is a standard procedure in hematology laboratories and is inexpensive and convenient. Here, we shared our experience developing a CSA determination protocol using Wright-Giemsa in H9c2 cardiomyoblast.
 
Methods
The viability tests were performed on H9c2 to determine the effective dosage of angiotensin II and Irbesartan (standard drug). The H9c2 were divided into three groups: the control group (without either angiotensin II or irbesartan), the negative control (with angiotensin II), and the positive control (with angiotensin II and Irbesartan), triplicate for each group. The cells then are acclimatized overnight, serum-starved for one day, and incubated with angiotensin and irbesartan for 48 hours. Lastly, Wright-Giemsa was observed using a light microscope in three fields. The CSA was determined by three independent observers blindly, statistically different if the p<0.05 using ANOVA ways or Kruskal-Wallis.
 
Results
After the H9c2 induced by angiotensin-II 1 μM and Irbesartan 1μM, we found the CSA significantly differed among each group (p<0,0001). The negative control has a higher median and interquartile range (IQR) CSA (10.78 (6.79) um2) compared to the control group (median (IQR) 7.27 (4.91) um2) and positive control (median (IQR) 7.849(5.31) um2).
 
Conclusion
It can be concluded that the Wright-Giemsa might help determine the CSA for in-vitro hypertrophic studies.

O consumo e a compra de hortaliças são influenciados por diversos fatores, como perfil socioeconômico, preço de venda, disponibilidade e a busca por uma vida mais saudável. Dessa forma, este estudo teve como objetivo investigar o mercado de hortaliças, focando na escolha desses produtos de acordo com a faixa de renda dos consumidores, na disposição de pagar por diferentes grupos de hortaliças e na percepção sobre a rastreabilidade dos alimentos. Um questionário online aplicado em 2021, com 852 respostas provenientes de 186 municípios brasileiros, validou a relação entre a preocupação com a segurança alimentar e o consumo de treze grupos de hortaliças distribuídos em oito categorias. Os resultados revelam que, independentemente da faixa de renda, as hortaliças mais consumidas pelos participantes são do grupo batata, alface, tomate e cebola, com uma preferência média de 37%. este padrão sugere que tais alimentos são os mais populares entre os consumidores, possivelmente devido à sua ampla disponibilidade, custo acessível e familiaridade no mercado. em contraste, hortaliças menos convencionais, como alcachofra, flores comestíveis, ora-pro-nóbis e aspargo, mostraram uma participação menor, apenas 1,72% na faixa de renda mais baixa, indicando menor acessibilidade ou atratividade para consumidores com menor poder aquisitivo, devido a custos mais elevados. Portanto, conclui-se que este trabalho contribui para o entendimento das preferências de consumo de hortaliças em diferentes contextos socioeconômicos, destacando a importância de considerar variáveis como segurança alimentar e disponibilidade financeira na promoção de hábitos alimentares saudáveis.

O panorama do gerenciamento ambiental dos resíduos perigosos em Instituições Federais de Ensino Superior (IFES) é altamente complexo, nessas IFES o volume de resíduos gerados é pequeno, porém com uma grande diversidade, o que dificulta o seu tratamento. Especificamente, os resíduos gerados nessas instituições necessitam de métodos confiáveis de manejo adequados, pois as atividades rotineiras realizadas com esses produtos têm riscos iminentes aos docentes, técnicos e discentes. Essa pesquisa foi realizada na Universidade Federal do Pará, que é um estudo de caso, descritiva, empírica, utilizou-se de questionários aplicados aos servidores docentes e técnicos administrativos em educação, com o objetivo de analisar o panorama desses resíduos. Os resultados obtidos em princípio mostraram que existe uma falta de atenção, desconhecimento das normas legais e deficiências de informações para os resíduos gerados. Conclui-se nesse estudo que a UFPA carece de um plano de ação para o gerenciamento dos seus resíduos perigosos gerados nos seus laboratórios, do desenvolvimento de uma educação ambiental como ferramenta de ação, estabelecimento de programas de metas e atividades para o gerenciamento desses resíduos, definindo prazo para o seu cumprimento, possibilitando assim uma maior segurança aos atos da gestão e do gerenciamento desse espaço.

Este artigo aborda a importância da gestão de recursos humanos (RH) nas organizações públicas, com o objetivo de demonstrar como práticas eficazes de gestão de pessoas podem contribuir para a eficiência, a melhoria da qualidade dos serviços prestados e o fortalecimento institucional. A metodologia adotada inclui uma revisão bibliográfica e análise documental das práticas de gestão de RH em diferentes organizações públicas, o que foi realizado a partir das propostas de Simione (2019), Lopes e Barros (2022), Pirrolas e Correia (2022), Oiticica e Barbosa (2021), Lourenço (2021), Lourenço (2021), entre outros. Os resultados indicam que uma gestão de RH bem estruturada é fundamental para enfrentar os desafios contemporâneos do setor público, como a burocracia e a necessidade de transparência. Conclui-se que a adoção de práticas estratégicas de gestão de pessoas é essencial para o desenvolvimento contínuo e a adaptação às novas demandas sociais. Espera-se que este trabalho possa auxiliar em pesquisas dessa área, bem como dar suporte para trabalhos desenvolvidos na gestão de recursos humanos.
City and Countryside in Byzantine Anatolia: Amorium
Authors: Lightfoot Chris
Published: September 2024

Amorium is a key site for the period AD 700-900 owing to its historical importance as the capital of the Anatolic Theme. The well preserved remains provide an exceptional opportunity to study the layout and function of the Byzantine city and its excavation sheds light on the transition, modification, and continuity of the settlement between the Late Roman and Byzantine periods. The evidence from twenty years of excavation points to the existence of a large and prosperous city during Early and Middle Byzantine times, where various trades and crafts were practised and which served as the centre of a vibrant rural community engaged in agriculture as well as animal husbandry. The destruction layers from the capture of Amorium by the Arabs in 838 create a fixed horizon and reference point for the entire archaeology and material culture of early to mid-ninth century Anatolia. Pottery and coin finds in particular provide good indicators of the level and nature of economic activity. In this study some conclusions are drawn from that material, and discussion of it is set in the context of other sites and the interpretation of finds there. The evidence from Amorium presents new insights that appear at odds with accepted views of the Byzantine world in the Early Middle Ages.

Non-invasiv behandling af det slidte tandsæt med adhæsiv teknik
Authors: Pallesen Ulla
Published: September 2024

Hovedbudskap

Alvorligt tandslid defineres som substantiel mistet tandsubstans og signifikant tab (>1/3) af den kliniske krone

Patologisk tandslid er atypisk for patientens alder og giver anledning til smerte/ubehag eller funktionelle/æstetiske problemer og som – hvis progression – kan give anledning til uønskede komplikationer af øget kompleksitet

Additiv behandling med direkte plast er minimal invasiv, er reversibel, gør det muligt at reparere, holder fremtidige behandlingsmuligheder åbne og er forbundet med begrænsede omkostninger, men behandlingerne er teknikfølsomme og har behov for vedligeholdelse

Subtraktiv behandling med indirekte teknik udføres med materialer, der har bedre mekaniske og æstetiske egenskaber, men behandlingen er mere invasiv, er forbundet med biologiske og økonomiske omkostninger og fejl vil ofte være mere alvorlige

Lokaliseret anteriort tandslid kan ofte behandles ved hjælp af Bjørn Dahl-teknik

The results of the study show that leadership style has a significant direct influence on the ecological behavior of ASN. Inspirational and supportive leaders are able to increase ASN's commitment to environmentally friendly behavior. In addition, persistence and integrity have been shown to mediate the relationship. Leaders who are able to motivate ASN persistence and instill strong integrity values tend to be more effective in building sustainable ecological behavior. Persistence increases the ability of civil servants to survive in their efforts to implement ecological practices, while integrity encourages civil servants to act in accordance with ethical values in preserving the environment. In conclusion, an effective leadership style, with the support of persistence and integrity, can improve the ecological behavior of civil servants. These findings have important implications for the development of leadership policies that support environmental sustainability in the public sector, especially within the scope of the Jakarta Special Region Provincial Government.
The Role of Salivary Biomarkers in Personalized Medicine
Authors: T Keerthi Priyadarshini
Published: September 2024

Salivary biomarkers have emerged as a cornerstone of personalized medicine, offering information for early disease detection, prognosis, treatment response prediction, and individualized therapy selection. This burgeoning field, often termed "salivaomics," encompasses a range of omics technologies, including proteomics, transcriptomics, metabolomics, and microbiomics. These approaches have revolutionized biomarker discovery, particularly in disease detection, including cancer. Saliva, being easily accessible and non-invasive, allows for the detection of biomarkers related to chronic diseases such as type 2 diabetes, obesity, heart disease, and cancer, which are often preceded by chronic low-grade inflammation (1). The use of salivary biomarkers not only offers a cost-effective and convenient approach for monitoring health status but also guides personalized treatment strategies in dentistry and medicine, thereby transforming healthcare practices towards a more individualized and precise approach.
