Iodine deficiency (ID) is a significant global public health issue, particularly affecting low-income countries. The iodization of salt is a widely adopted method to prevent iodine deficiency. This study aimed to assess the iodine content of iodized salt at the market level in various cities within the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan (HKJ). We collected 152 salt samples from 24 different brands across three cities in Jordan: Amman, Zarqa, and Mafraq. The analysis was conducted using a titration method. The mean iodine content in salt samples varied by city, with values of 5.45 ppm in Mafraq, 10.33 ppm in Amman, and 13.22 ppm in Zarqa, ranging from 0 to 36 ppm. Significant differences in iodine concentration were observed within the same city across different brands (P ≤ 0.05). Additionally, variations were noted in iodine content for samples from the same brand collected in different cities, and even among samples from the same brand at the same location. Of the 152 samples evaluated, an average of 76.5% had iodine levels below the 15 ppm recommended by UNICEF. There was considerable variation in mean iodine content among brands, cities, and even within samples of the same brand. This indicates that the salt iodization process requires ongoing monitoring, and the government should enhance efforts to oversee the iodization process and improve the accessibility and utilization of iodized salt.

Recently, the researchers are focused on the biotherapeutic properties of medicinal as well as edible plants. Inflammation, fever, and pain are common symptoms associated with various diseases, necessitating effective therapeutic potentials for relief and healing. This study aimed to assess the therapeutic impact and mechanisms of action of the methanolic fruit extract of Carica papaya for anti-inflammatory, antipyretic, and analgesic activities via in-vivo and in-vitro approaches. For inducing inflammation, pain, and fever in albino rats, carrageenan, acetic acid dilution in distilled water, and yeast dilution in saline were used. The four different concentrations (50, 100, 200, and 400 mg/kg) of methanolic extract of C. papaya fruit were used to prevent inflammation, pain, and fever. Diclofenac and paracetamol were used as standard drugs in this study. The methanolic extract of C. papaya fruit showed efficient antipyretic and anti-inflammatory inhibition (90 and 80%, respectively), but less efficient analgesic inhibition (36%). Similarly, the in-silico study used fruit bioactive compounds such as quercetin as ligand molecules, and proteins for anti-inflammatory and antipyretic activities were 1bp4 and 4x37, respec-tively. The docking process was done using ligand and protein molecules. The results of the in-silico study were the same as those of the in-vivo study; anti-inflammatory and antipyretic activity binding energy values were more efficient than those of an analgesic. In conclusion, the methanolic extract of C. papaya fruit in in-silico and in-vivo studies proved less efficient against pain and more efficient against inflammation and fever.
Vanillic acid promotes keratinocyte migration, proliferation, and angiogenesis
Authors: Zhu Xianfeng , Ma Jiangyun , Huang Jian
Published: September 2024

Wound healing is a complex, multi-phase process involving the coordinated interaction of various cells and molecules. This study evaluates the effects of vanillic acid (VA) on wound healing using HaCaT cells. The results demonstrate that VA treatment increases the levels of phosphorylated AMPK protein, thereby activating the AMPK pathway. This activation leads to an upregulation of PNCA expression and enhances the proliferation of HaCaT cells. Additionally, VA treatment reduces the expression of Bax and cleaved Caspase-3 while increasing Bcl2 expression, which inhibits apoptosis in HaCaT cells. Furthermore, VA treatment upregulates the expression of MMP-2 and MMP-9, promoting HaCaT cell migration. VA also induces the secretion of FGF, VEGF, and PDGF, which enhances tube formation in HUVECs. In conclusion, VA may have potential therapeutic benefits in wound healing by promoting keratinocyte proliferation, migration, and angiogenesis.
Digraph k-Coloring Games: New Algorithms and Experiments
Authors: D'Ascenzo Andrea , D'Emidio Mattia , Flammini Michele , Monaco Gianpiero
Published: September 2024

We study digraph k-coloring games where strategic agents are vertices of a digraph and arcs represent agents' mutual unidirectional conflicts/idiosyncrasies. Each agent can select, as strategy, one of k different colors, and her payoff in a given state (a k-coloring) is given by the number of outgoing neighbors with a color different from her one. Such games model lots of strategic real-world scenarios and are related to several fundamental classes of anti-coordination games. Unfortunately, the problem of understanding whether an instance of the game admits a pure Nash equilibrium (NE), i.e., a state where no agent can improve her payoff by changing strategy, is NP-complete. Thus, in this paper, we focus on algorithms to compute an approximate NE: informally, a coloring is an approximate γ-NE, for some γ ≥ 1, if no agent can improve her payoff, by changing strategy, by a multiplicative factor of γ.
Our contribution is manifold and of both theoretical and experimental nature. First, we characterize the hardness of finding pure and approximate equilibria in both general and special classes of digraphs. Second, we design and analyze three approximation algorithms with different theoretical guarantees on the approximation ratio, under different conditions; (i) algorithm APPROX-1 which computes, for any k ≥ 3, a Δo-NE for any n vertex graph having a maximum outdegree of Δo, in polynomial time; (ii) algorithm LLL-SPE, a randomized algorithm that, for any constant k ≥ 2, determines a γ-NE for some constant γ but only in digraphs whose minimum outdegree is sufficiently large, in polynomial time in expectation; (iii) algorithm APPROX-3 which, for any ε, computes a (1+ε)-NE by using O(log(n)/ε) colors, for any n-vertex digraph. Note that, the latter shows that a (1+ε)-NE exists and can be computed in polynomial time for k = O(log(n)).
Finally, to assess how proposed algorithms behave in the typical case, we complete our study with an extensive experimental evaluation showing that, while newly introduced algorithms achieve bounded worst case behavior, they generally perform poorly in practice. Motivated by such unsatisfactory performance, we shift our attention to the best-response paradigm, successfully applied to other classes of games, and design and experimentally evaluate it a heuristic based on such paradigm. Our experiments provide strong evidences of such approach outperforming, in terms of approximation and computational time, all other methods and hence identify it as the most suited candidate for practical usage. More remarkably, it is also able to compute exact, pure NE in the great majority of cases. This suggests that, while these games are known to not always possess a pure NE, such an equilibrium often exists and can be efficiently computed, even by a distributed uncoordinated interaction of the agents.

Objective: The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between spiritual well-being and anxiety and depression in patients receiving hemodialysis treatment through meta-analysis method.

Methods: Pubmed, the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), Web of Science, EBSCOhost, and ProQuest databases were used to gather the data. All databases were reviewed for the last time on April 5, 2022, and a total of 5 studies were included in this meta-analysis. Effect size was evaluated according to Cohen's r correlation coefficient effect width classification. I2 tests were calculated to test heterogeneity.

Results: It was found that the effect of spirituality on reducing depression was negative and at a large effect level. Moreover, it was investigated that the effect of spiritual well-being on reducing anxiety was negative and moderate. Since I2 > 50 in both analyses, random effects model was used for carrying out the process of analysis.

Conclusion: It was found that spiritual well-being had a great effect on depression and moderate effect on anxiety in patients receiving hemodialysis treatment. High levels of spiritual well-being can reduce the incidence of anxiety and depression in hemodialysis patients. In addition, it can be indicated that spiritual care offered to patients receiving hemodialysis treatment would reduce the level of anxiety and depression.

Published: September 2024

Heart valve diseases are a prevalent cardiovascular pathology worldwide, affecting nearly 2.5% of the population. Degenerative aortic stenosis is the most common form of heart valve disease. The treatment options include surgical or transcatheter procedures. There are two main categories of valve prostheses available: mechanical heart valves constructed from synthetic materials and bioprosthetic heart valves made from natural biomaterials. The choice of valve type depends on various factors, including the underlying medical condition, suitability for anticoagulation, valve durability, and the patient’s age and preferences. Mechanical heart valves have the advantage of long-term durability. However, patients receiving mechanical implants are subjected to lifelong anticoagulation therapy with an increased risk of thromboembolism and bleeding. Natural biomaterials do not require long-term anticoagulation. However, they experience degenerative changes leading to structural valve deterioration that may require reoperation. The purpose of this article is to review the role of natural biological materials used for aortic valve replacement or repair, assess their biomedical and clinical advantages and limitations, and analyze the direction and perspectives of future development.

Authors: Singh Laishram Santosh , Singh Ningthoujam Rojesh , Singh W. James , Singh Okram Robinson , Mola Dessalegn Wase
Published: September 2024

Background. Football players require high levels of speed and explosive power to perform effectively on the field, making these physical attributes critical for success. Neuromuscular training has been proposed as a method to enhance these performance metrics.
Objectives. The purpose of the present study was to examine the effect of neuromuscular training on the speed and explosive power performance of football players.
Materials and methods. A total of thirty male football players (aged 20 to 26 years) from Imphal West District, Imphal, Manipur, India, who had participated in national-level competitions, were selected for the study. The subjects were randomly assigned into two equal groups: an experimental group (n = 15) and a control group (n = 15). Both groups were assessed before the intervention for speed and explosive power performance using the 50 m dash speed test and the standing broad jump test to determine the baseline significance of the selected variables. Following the initial assessments, the experimental group underwent a supervised neuromuscular training program, while the control groupreceived no special training. The neuromuscular training was conducted over a period of six weeks, with sessions held five days a week (Monday to Friday), each lasting 60 minutes.
Results. The experimental group confirmed significant improvements in both speed and explosive power compared to the control group (p < 0.05). The mean and standard deviation of speed for the experimental group were 7.15 ± 0.71 in the pre-test and 6.54 ± 0.61 in the post-test. For explosive power, the values were 2.36 ± 0.32 in the pre-test and 2.55 ± 0.39 in the post-test. The notable enhancements in speed and explosive power performance in the experimental group are likely attributed to the six-week neuromuscular training program, which facilitated rapid physical adaptation among the football players.
Conclusions. Implementing the six-week neuromuscular training program effectively enhanced the speed and explosive power performance of football players. This type of training has been demonstrated to be highly effective for optimizing these performance metrics in football players.
USDA LTAR Common Experiment measurement: Irrigation water applied v1
Authors: DuBose Rachel , M. O'Reilly Andrew , Witthaus Lindsey
Published: September 2024

Irrigation is the amount of water applied to a field or plot per unit area. Irrigation supplements rainfall to provide adequate soil moisture for successful crop production. Irrigation is a vital component of agriculture in the western and central United States and is becoming more prevalent throughout the United States. Different types of irrigation are used across the United States (e.g., overhead (linear or pivot), sprinkler gun, subsurface drip, surface drip, or gravity/furrow/flood). Using a flowmeter on the main distribution pipe is recommended for measuring irrigation amounts. To adequately measure irrigation in research plots, the characteristics of the distribution pipe for each individual plot must be considered.

Over the past two decades, transcriptional profiling has become an increasingly common tool for investigating the effects of diseases and experimental manipulations on the nervous system. Within transcriptional profiling experiments, microarray or sequencing technologies are used to measure the relative amount of RNA transcript for each of the thousands of genes expressed in a sample. The primary objective of these experiments is to identify genes that are differentially expressed in response to conditions of interest. However, transcriptional profiling experiments have traditionally been conducted with small sample sizes due to expense (e.g., n=3-10/group), resulting in low statistical power. Due to low power, these experiments are prone to capturing large technical artifacts and false positives rather than smaller biological effects of interest. To address this issue, we developed a 10-week summer research program (The Brain Data Alchemy Project) that guides participants through the process of performing a meta-analysis of differential expression effect sizes (Log2 Fold Change or Log2FC) extracted from publicly available transcriptional profiling datasets. To conduct our meta-analyses, we leverage the efforts of the Gemma project, which has curated, preprocessed, and re-analyzed over 19,000 publicly available datasets (https://gemma.msl.ubc.ca/home.html). Participants learn the fundamental principles of systematic review and R programming to conduct the dataset search, result extraction, and whole transcriptome meta-analysis. This protocol outlines the methods used during the third pilot year of the program in 2024. These methods differ from the 2022 methods (dx.doi.org/10.17504/protocols.io.j8nlk84jxl5r/v1 ) in terms of the sophistication of the search strategy and inclusion/exclusion procedure, use of Entrez ID annotation and formal mouse/rat gene orthology, and the functionalization of most necessary coding steps. These methods also differ from the 2023 project methods - the 2023 methods imported the preprocessed gene expression data and metadata from Gemma, whereas the 2022 and 2024 project methods imported the differential expression results.

Authors: Akkuş Serdar , Uzun Cicek Ayla , Ucuz İlknur , Mercan Işık Cansu
Published: September 2024

Purpose: Psychiatric comorbidity is more common in specific learning disabilities (SLDs) than in the general population. It is extremely common. Psychiatric disorders associated with SLD cause more cognitive, social, and emotional difficulties, further impair functionality and worsen prognosis. This study aimed to examine the frequency of psychiatric comorbidity and the sociodemographic characteristics and clinical variables associated with comorbidity in children with SLD.
Materials and Methods: This study included 226 children and adolescents aged 7-17 years who were diagnosed with specific learning disabilities and who applied to our outpatient clinic between March 2021 and August 2021. A battery of tests was administered to all participants, including the Reading Test, Writing Test, Mathematics Test, Clock Drawing Test, Head Right-Left Discrimination Test, and Bender Gestalt Visual-Motor Perception Test. In addition, the Kent-EGY Test-Porteus Maze Test (PMT) or the Weschler Intelligence Scale for Children (WISC-R) were administered. A semi-structured diagnostic interview was conducted with the participants and their parents to investigate the presence of any psychopathology in the past and present (Turkish version of the Turkish version of the Schedule for the Interview for Affective Disorders and Schizophrenia for School-Age Children-Present and Lifetime Version (DSM-5-K-SADS-PL-DSM-5-T) was applied.
Results: There was at least one comorbid psychiatric disorder in 81.4% of the participants. The most common comorbid disorder was attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, with a frequency of 73.5%. Other common disorders were disruptive behavior disorders, elimination disorders, anxiety disorders, depressive disorders, and tobacco use disorders. Severe types of SLD were more common in those with psychiatric comorbidities, and the mean age was significantly higher than in those without.
Conclusion: Being aware of the psychiatric comorbidity that children with SLD are called to face is essential for drawing up proper standards of assessment, hence ensuring these children have personalized psychiatric care and enhancing their quality of life.

Pembelajaran yang menyenangkan dan menarik minat peserta didik merupa­kan salah satu kunci utama keberhasilan guru dalam mengajar, meskipun dalam pelaksanaannya seringkali dihadapi dengan kendala, terutama dalam menjaga konsentrasi peserta didik agar tetap fokus memperhatikan materi, terutama dalam mata pelajaran matematika yang sering kali bersifat abstrak. Salah satu strategi efektif untuk menciptakan pembelajaran yang melibatkan keaktifan peserta didik adalah dengan menggunakan ice breaking dan me­tode permainan. Metode ini tidak hanya memecah kebekuan awal dalam kelas, tetapi juga meningkatkan interaksi sosial dan keterlibatan peserta didik dalam proses belajar-mengajar. Penggunaan benda-benda konkret dalam metode permainan, seperti gelas dan mangkok plastik yang bertulis­kan angka, membantu peserta didik untuk memahami konsep matematika secara lebih konkret dan nyata. Artikel ini bertujuan untuk menggali imple­mentasi ice breaking dan metode permainan terhadap keaktifan peserta didik fase A dalam pembelajaran matematika di sekolah dasar. Penelitian ini menggunakan jenis penelitian deskriptif kualitatif, dengan subjek penelitian meliputi guru kelas dan peserta didik kelas 2 fase A. Hasil observasi menun­jukkan bahwa penerapan ice breaking dengan metode permainan efektif dalam meningkatkan keterlibatan peserta didik dalam pembelajaran mate­matika, khususnya dalam materi bilangan. Implementasi ini telah terbukti menjadi alternatif yang efektif dalam menciptakan suasana kelas yang interaktif dan dinamis. Pembelajaran yang mengimplementasikan ice break­ing dan permainan tidak hanya menciptakan lingkungan belajar yang me­nyenangkan, tetapi juga menjadikan proses pembelajaran lebih berpusat pada peserta didik, memungkinkan mereka untuk aktif berpartisipasi dan memahami konsep-konsep matematika dengan lebih baik.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengeksplorasi konsep Scaffolding dalam konteks Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD) menurut teori Vygotsky, serta mengaplikasi­kannya dalam pembelajaran sejarah di kelas X DKV-2 di SMK Negeri 10 Malang. Metode kualitatif dipilih untuk mendapatkan pemahaman mendalam tentang bagaimana ZPD dapat diterapkan dalam konteks nyata pembelajaran di sekolah menengah kejuruan. Penelitian dilakukan dengan mengamati proses pembelajaran sejarah, fokus pada interaksi antara guru dan siswa dalam implementasi konsep Scaffolding. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa penerapan Scaffolding pada ZPD dapat dilaksanakan secara efektif. Guru berperan dalam memonitor dan memberi­kan bantuan secara bertahap kepada siswa sesuai dengan tingkat kemampuan mereka, mulai dari bimbingan aktif hingga memfasilitasi siswa untuk aktif berdiskusi dan melakukan presentasi. Pendekatan ini tidak hanya memperkuat pemahaman siswa terhadap materi sejarah, tetapi juga mendorong kemandirian dan partisipasi aktif dalam proses pembelajaran. Melalui Scaffolding, siswa dapat mengembang­kan keterampilan berpikir kritis dan memecahkan masalah secara mandiri, sesuai dengan tahapan perkembangan kognitif mereka. Implikasi dari penelitian ini men­dukung pentingnya penerapan teori Vygotsky dalam konteks pendidikan praktis, yang menekankan pentingnya interaksi sosial dan bimbingan terarah untuk memajukan kemampuan siswa. Secara keseluruhan, penelitian ini memberikan kontribusi terhadap pemahaman kita tentang bagaimana konsep Scaffolding dapat diterapkan dengan efektif dalam konteks ZPD di pendidikan sekolah menengah kejuruan, serta relevansinya dalam meningkatkan kualitas pembelajaran yang berpusat pada perkembangan siswa.
The Impacts of Testing Susceptible and Exposed Individuals on Emerging Infectious Diseases with Infectiousness in Incubation Period

On the premise that both susceptible and exposed individuals in incubation period are asymptomatic, in this paper, we establish epidemic models with compulsory testing or voluntary testing to study the impact of susceptible and exposed individuals’ testing rate on the emerging infectious diseases. Results show that when compulsory testing is performed on individuals, sometimes the testing rate of susceptible and exposed individuals can be increased to prevent epidemic from spreading among the population. Sometimes both the testing rate of susceptible, exposed and symptomatic infected individuals need to reach a certain level, and sometimes it can be achieved by increasing the testing rate of symptomatic infected individuals. When individuals take voluntary testing, if individuals think the risk of epidemic is low, increasing the individual’s trust in medical treatment is conducive to increasing the testing number of exposed individuals. However, if individuals think the risk is high, the change in medical trust can not affect the testing number of exposed individuals. Comparing these two models, it is interesting to note that the epidemic size corresponding to average testing rate of voluntary testing is almost the same as the epidemic size corresponding to the same testing rate of compulsory testing, reflecting the effectiveness of voluntary testing.

: Dental caries is a major public health concern commonly affecting all age groups. Early detection and treatment of such lesions will limit the need for invasive treatment in the future. Resin infiltration is proposed as an encouraging non-invasive approach that can be used as an option in addition to non-operative and operative approaches to treatment.

: To assesses the efficacy of micro-invasive interventions (resin infiltration or sealing) for controlling caries progression on proximal surfaces.

The randomized clinical trial was carried out among 30 proximal caries lesion patients. After randomization participants were equally allocated in three groups; infiltration, sealant and placebo. DMFT & DMFS index and ICDAS were recorded at baseline, 3 months, 6months and 9 months. The ANOVA and chi square tests were used to determine significant differences between groups. In all tests, p-values less than 0.05 were considered significant.

: There is a significant difference in the mean DMFT and DMFS value of infiltration and resin group as compared to control group p value 0.023 and 0.007 respectively. Also infiltration group had lower score as compared to resin group. Also, Infiltration group had the lowest mean ICDAS score at all time points, indicating the lowest severity of tooth decay, followed by the sealant group and then the Control group.

: Our randomized controlled trial provides valuable insights into the effectiveness of resin infiltration, sealant, and placebo groups in preventing the progression of early enamel lesions. Resin infiltration was found to be the most effective method.

La Reforma al Código Civil Argentino. Mirando y Mirada. Por La Convención de los Derechos de las Personas con Discapacidad y la Ley Nacional de Salud Mental
Authors: Iglesias María Graciela
Published: September 2024

La Ley Nacional de Salud Mental (1), impone nuevas prácticas, trae derecho ubicado en los tratados de derechos humanos y estándares internacionales de intervención en salud mental, que son ahora derecho vinculante (Iglesias, 2011: 161).Refiere a la identidad, dignidad, no discriminación, capacidad, debido proceso, garantía y protagonismo de la persona, en cualquier intervención jurídico-socio-sanitaria que se pretenda sobre ella. Se revaloriza la palabra de quien resulta ser único protagonista: la persona con padecimiento psíquico. Es destacable que conjuntamente con la revalorización de la persona como centro de imputación de derechos, paralelamente la ley fortalece, el debido proceso, con la intervención calificada de la figura del Defensor. Éste podrá ser designado por la persona con padecimiento mental, su abogado de confianza, pero en caso de no poder o no contar con uno, el Estado debe garantizar la defensa técnica. Así el Ministerio de la Defensa Pública, asume con la ley, este rango privilegiado que es el ejercicio de la defensa. En este sentido la Defensoría Nacional ha asumido la responsabilidad, en la organización de la función dedefender a otros/as.
