Authors: Salah Walaa , Mohamed Salwa E. , Guirgis Adel A. , Muawia Shaden , Khalil Hany
Published: September 2022

Colon cancer is a type of cancer that begins in the large intestine (colon). Its aggression is owing to late diagnosis so poor prognosis and higher mortality rate are reported. Colon cancer has become a thorny research region that requires more examination in cellular pathways involved in its emergency. Here we aim to investigate the possible anticancer properties of the clove oil as natural and popular oil in colon cancer CaCo-2 cells. Accordingly, cell viability rate and number of survived cells were monitored in response to the clove oil treatment compared with the black seed oil and DMSO-treatment. Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) production was also considered as an indicator for necrotic event following treatment. The relative gene expression of Raf-1, MEK, and ERK was detected as proliferation effectors that linked to the expression profile of the tumor suppressor genes PTEN and TP53 using quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR). Interestingly, here we identified Raf-1 pathway as a potential targeted singling by the clove oil resulted in controlling colon cancer cell proliferation. The current study elucidates the anticancer activities of the clove oil in colon cancer division through restoring the relative gene expression of PTEN and TP53 accompanied by over-production of interleukin 1 alpha (IL-1α) and IL-1β. Accordingly, treatment of the CaCo-2 cells with different concentrations of the clove oil increased programmed cells cell death (PCD) and inhibited the proliferation singling when compared with the black seed oil. Collectively, our results demonstrate that controlling of Raf-1 activity and PCD by clove oil treatment provide evidence for its anticancer effect in colon cancer cells.
Production of Adjunct Wh-Questions in Egyptian Arabic Monolingual and Egyptian Arabic-English Bilingual Children
Authors: Mohamed Riham Hafez
Published: September 2022

This pilot study examines the production of Egyptian Arabic (henceforth EA) adjunct wh-questions (e.g., when) among two EA-English bilingual Children living in Ontario, Canada and an EA monolingual child living in Cairo, Egypt. The control group consists of two first-generation adult Egyptian immigrants in Ontario, Canada. The focus of the study is on the position of wh-phrases in EA wh-adjuncts, which exhibits a surface overlap between English and EA. In typical English wh-adjuncts, and wh-arguments as well, leaving the wh-phrase where it was originally generated (wh-in-situ) is ungrammatical and the wh-phrase must occur clause-initially (fronted wh-phrase) (Radford, 2004). In EA wh-adjuncts, there are two possible positions of the wh-phrase, fronted wh-phrase and wh-in-situ (Wahba, 1984). Findings from an oral elicited production task showed that the EA monolingual child significantly preferred wh-in-situ (94.4% of the time), and a fronted wh-phrase occurred only once in his responses. In contrast, the EA-English bilingual children predominantly preferred fronting the wh-phrase (97.3% of the time). As the fronted wh-question is the only grammatical option in typical English wh-questions, this result may indicate a possible crosslinguistic influence from English, the majority language of the bilinguals’ society, into EA. Regarding the adult controls, they showed true optionality as they produced roughly around the same amount of the fronted wh-phrase and wh-in-situ, 52.8% and 47.2% respectively. The results are discussed in relation to the crosslinguistic influence hypothesis of Müller and Hulk (2001) and the developmental trajectory proposed by Shin & Miller (2021).

Authors: Begum Dr. Tahmina , Begum Dr. Ferdousi , Dr. Meherunnessa Dr. Meherunnessa , Islam Dr. Nazrul
Published: September 2022

Background: Misoprostol is an analogue of prostaglandin (PGE1) and the first registered PGN used for the treatment of peptic ulcer disease. Misoprostol should not be used in pregnant women but it can be used in termination of intrauterine fetal death (IUFD). It has been used for the induction of abortion in the first and second trimester of pregnancy. Misoprostol has already been proved to be effective and efficient for second trimester since 1987. There is insufficient information available from clinical trials to support their use to induce labor in third trimester of pregnancy. Aim of the study: The aim of this study was to describe the effect of misoprostol in third trimester of pregnancy. Methods: This retrospective study was carried out in two large hospitals in Dhaka city, which is the capital of a South Asian country, Bangladesh. The record of the studied subject was taken from the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology of Alpha Hospital and the maternity ward of Beta Hospital from June 2018 to August 2019. The actual names of the two hospitals are pseudonym for privacy. A detailed history of each patient was taken and physical and obstetric examination were done. In total 52 patients were investigated and data were analyzed by SPSS version 23.0. Results: In this study, the primi gravida response time was found as the highest. On an average 20.34 hours was needed for the primi gravida category. In single, 2 and multi-parity cases the average pain response times were found as 16.3125, 10.3375 and 14 hours respectively. In Primi, 2nd, 3rd and 5th gravida cases the average delivery times were found 13.0714, 12.5938, 9.0769 and 3 hours respectively. Against single, two and three doses of misoprostol, the average pain response times were found 7.6875, 11.5375 and 19.25 hours respectively. Conclusion: In this study, it had been found that, most of the patient of IUFD was ‘primigravid’ (30.8%) of total respondents having complication with medical and endocrinal disease. Pre- eclampsia is more common in prim gravid than multi. There is history of thyroid dysfunction. In some cases, now a day, GDM is the cause behind IUFD.

Published: September 2022

The study investigates the determinants of foreign banks’ entry decisions into Saudi Arabia and their relative importance. Seventy-one questionnaires were analyzed using the Distribution Fitting Algorithmic Approach (DFAA). This paper is situated in the existing literature on the Internalization Theory, Eclectic Paradigm, and Follow-the-Customers hypothesis. While we confirm the Follow-the-Customers hypothesis, we also found that the host market’s characteristics influence entry decisions. We envisaged that this paper would not only contribute to the existing literature but also inform policymakers and industry participants to better understand foreign banks’ entry into emerging and developing markets. Keywords: Foreign banks, Determinants, Entry decisions, Saudi Arabia.

Simulation results are compared with the real-time results to address advantages and disadvantages of the system.
Potable Water Supply Deficiency in Yaounde (Centre Cameroon): Challenges and Coping Strategies of the Inhabitants
Authors: Denise Nimpa Fozong Tatiana , Tiafack Ojuku , Siméon Tchakonté
Published: September 2022

In most cities in developing countries, dwellers continue facing difficulties in adequately accessing potable water in sufficient quantity for their daily needs. These difficulties are perceived by households each time they fetch drinking water or try to get access to potable water for other household activities. This study aims to assess the problem of potable water supply in the Yaounde III Subdivisions’ neighbourhoods and the coping strategies developed by citizens to meet their needs. To achieve this objective, 300 households were selected and investigated based on purposive and systematic random sampling, particularly in the most densely populated neighbourhoods. We proceeded by identifying the different water supply sources of households for their various needs, and assessing the difficulties encountered in getting water and how they overcome them. Results reveal that in Yaounde III Subdivision only 34.33% of the households are supplied by the Cameroon Water Utilities Corporation (CAMWATER), while 65.67% rely on alternative water supply sources (wells, drillings and springs) without any pre-treatment. Among those connected to CAMWATER network, 46.6% do not have a regular water flow. Results also revealed that water sources were located at reasonable distances (less than 1 kilometre) and that 70% of households take less than 30 minutes to fetch water. Failure in water supply is mainly caused by the insufficient pumping capacity of the existing potable water treatment plants which lead to rationing and shortages, but also to rapid population growth and city extension not followed by the extension of the potable water distribution network. To fill the gap in water supply, it is imperative for public authorities to quickly achieve the project on water supply from the Sanaga River. Also, CAMWATER should extend its distribution network and improve its maintenance system.

Authors: Kurniawan Chandra , Sutiningsih Dwi , Martini Martini
Published: September 2022

Introduction: Factors that cause high pneumonia cases, including age less than two years, population density, winter, antibiotic resistance, daycare attendance, exposure to cigarette smoke, nutritional status, and the influence of comorbidities. Methods: The research method used in this study is a quantitative study with a cross-sectional approach aimed at seeing the relationship between the effectiveness of early detection of pneumonia using an application system. The results of this study are used to develop prevention and control strategies for pneumonia that reach all levels of society, especially marginal groups and provide recommendations related to child pneumonia advocacy. Results: The results of this study are 1) People in Demak who have almost 50 percent of toddlers say the M-KIA application cannot operate or open the M-KIA application; 2) There are still many people in Demak who have toddlers who say the M-KIA application does not understand and is not clear in meeting the needs for their toddlers. Most mothers of children under five in Demak with the M-KIA application are able to detect pneumonia early; 3) The M-KIA application is less effective because parents of toddlers in Demak have not all felt the function of the M-KIA application in meeting the health needs of toddlers, especially for early detection of pneumonia. Conclusion: The obstacle faced by the community in DEmak is the lack of knowledge of using the M-KIA application so that only some understand so that they feel the use of the M-KIA application to detect pneumonia in toddlers early

Objective: Imatinib is a commonly used first generation tyrosine kinase inhibitor for patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). The efficacy has been reported as very high even in recent studies.
Material and methods: A retrospective analysis was made of newly diagnosed CML patients treated with Imatinib as a first-line agent from January 2010 to January 2020. The patients were classified as those who obtained an adequate response and those for whom treatment was discontinued due to inadequate efficacy. The two groups were compared to analyze factors predicting the efficacy of the agent.
Results: Evaluation was made of a total of 47 CML patients, comprising 20 females (42.6%) and 27 males (57.4%) with a median age of 55 years. Imatinib was discontinued in 19 patients because of inadequate response, and 28 patients were still continuing the treatment at the end of median 33.3 months follow-up duration. At the end of follow-up, there were 44 survivors (93.6%), and 3 non-survivors (6.4%). Median Bcr-Abl (IS, %) at the time of diagnosis in patients with response was higher than patients in discontinued group (67.6 [0.0-291.4] vs  41.9 [0.0-208.5], p=0.022). All other disease and demographic characteristics were similar in both groups (p>0.05).
Conclusion: Almost 10 years of follow-up demonstrated that there is still an unmet need to determine factors predicting the response to Imatinib in CML patients. Larger population-based studies are required to specify patients with high risk at the time of diagnosis to monitor closely.

La septième édition du séminaire annuel de la Commission de la Recherche Translationnelle de la SRLF a permis un nouveau moment d’échange unique entre chercheurs et cliniciens autour des dernières données issues de la recherche translationnelle en pharmaco-toxicologie.

Les études pharmacologiques et toxicologiques, chez les patients en situation critique, se sont longtemps résumées à des mesures de concentrations plasmatiques. Leur interprétation clinique étaient souvent limitées par les méthodes de dosage elles-mêmes, mais aussi par les différents mécanismes conduisant à une variation individuelle de l’absorption, de la distribution, du métabolisme ou de l’élimination des médicaments ou du toxique. Les évolutions récentes des méthodes de dosage, la meilleure compréhension des mécanismes de diffusion et de clairance des médicaments/toxiques dans les tissus ainsi que l’utilisation de techniques innovantes basées sur l’imagerie pharmacologique et les modélisations pharmacocinétiques, permettent une meilleure interprétation des dosages mais aussi de prédire des échecs ou la survenue d’une toxicité en lien avec un médicament ou un toxique.  

Les actes du séminaire ont été rédigés par les membres de la Commission de la Recherche   Translationnelle de la SRLF et validés par les orateurs.

Published: September 2022

Entre el 2016 al 2018 el Perú ha experimentado un proceso de transición del Sistema Nacional de Inversión Pública (SNIP), al Sistema Nacional de Programación Multianual y Gestión de Inversiones (Invierte.pe), esto en aras de lograr una prestación efectiva de servicios y proveer la infraestructura para el desarrollo (MEF, 2016). Frente a este esfuerzo gubernamental por mejorar la eficiencia de la inversión pública, poco se conoce sobre las investigaciones sobre ello. Por ello, la presente revisión topográfica busca analizar sistemáticamente los artículos publicados sobre la eficiencia de la inversión pública (EIP) publicados en revistas indexadas entre el 2016 al 2022. Los resultados muestran que se han publicado 12 artículos, desarrollado por un  contingente de 25 investigadores, resaltando que la mitad de las publicaciones ha sido efectuada por autores individuales. Un tercio tienen diseño correlacional, 42% descriptivo y el 25% proporciona un sentido explicativo, correspondiendo todos a un diseño no exploratorio, prevaleciendo el uso de datos secundarios. Los focos de las investigaciones versan mayormente respecto a la inversión ejecutada seguido de los procesos de gestión.  Las publicaciones se han concentrado en revistas peruanas y latinoamericanas indexadas en Latindex, Dialnet y otras bases de datos como REDIB, Scopus y WoS.

AIM: We aimed to enhance “The Health-Promoting Schools” initiative through the implementation of a MH promotion program.

METHODS: The study is a school-based non-randomized controlled trial, in purposively selected schools. It included 460 students with a mean age of 11 (± 0.7) years old, all are boys, and were divided into two groups; intervention group (n = 230) and control group (n = 230). The ten components of the health-promoting school were assessed in the intervention school using the CDC tool “The School Health Index,” which enables the school team to identify the strengths and weaknesses of their school’s policies and programs. As a result, a tailored SEL program was developed fitting the Egyptian culture and students’ needs, along with the recommendations and trends.

RESULTS: The baseline assessment results for the intervention school were in the medium range percentages (20–80%). The social and emotional part had not been a major concern given for our students. The students who participated in the SEL program evidenced significant improvements in grit, growth mindset, self-management, social awareness, and school safety compared to the control group. According to the teachers’ perception scale, 70% of the teachers reported that the learning strategies of students have been improved.

CONCLUSION: The findings suggest that a relatively simple-to-administer SEL curriculum added to the regular school curriculum for a period of only 2–3 months can yield promising results as regard to positive behavioral and cognitive changes in students.
Parlements et autoritarisme, une approche pragmatique
Authors: Ferrié Jean-Noël
Published: September 2022

L’article questionne la présence d’institutions parlementaires dans des régimes autoritaires du Moyen-Orient (Afghanistan, égypte, Syrie…). Les Parlements étudiés peuvent s’adapter aux modes de fonctionnement propres des régimes autoritaires parce que les dispositifs parlementaires existants assurent le contrôle et orientent déjà la parole des députés. Ces dispositifs soumettent les choix des gouvernants à un ensemble de contraintes procédurales, qui n’ont pas pour but de les favoriser, mais de les légitimer.
Un chef d’État au Parlement
Authors: Tardits Nicolas
Published: September 2022

La révision constitutionnelle de 2008 autorise le chef de l’exécutif à s’adresser directement au Parlement réuni en Congrès et Emmanuel Macron s’engage en 2017 à faire de cet événement un rituel pour ouvrir les sessions législatives. L’étude historique des usages différenciés de cette cérémonie est avant tout le reflet d’un rapport de domination : comme système de soumission ou comme véritable commémoration charismatique. Ce rite d’institution spécifique traduit surtout une concurrence pour le monopole à représenter les gouvernés.

UNAF : résilience d’une exception française
Authors: Debord Raymond
Published: September 2022

Créée en 1945, l’Union nationale des associations familiales (UNAF) dispose par la loi du monopole de représentation des 18 millions de familles vivant en France. Cette institution est unique en Europe, la France ayant pour particularité d’avoir fait de la famille une catégorie de l’action politique. Malgré les mutations des modèles familiaux et la relativisation de l’intérêt porté aux familles par les gouvernements, elle a réussi jusqu’ici à conserver son statut.

Background:

Allergy skin testing can help identify the specific causative allergens to confirm the diagnosis and design treatment for Allergic rhinitis.

Objective:

The study aimed to assess the types of allergens among participants who underwent Skin Allergy Test in the Southern Region of Saudi Arabia.

Methods:

This retrospective review of hospital records examined the results of the skin prick test from January 2018 to October 2020. Participants who underwent the same panel of allergens were included.

Results:

Forty-two participants were included. Only one participant (2.4%) showed no response toward any allergen, while the remainder (97.6%) exhibited a positive reaction toward at least one allergen. The highest rates of sensitization were to pollens (83.3%), followed by house dust mites (14.3%), and animal epithelia (28.6%). The most frequent pollens were Bermuda grass (64.3%), followed by Ryegrass (26.2%) and Russian thistle (21.4%). Positive reactions to Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus and Dermatophagoides farinae were observed in 14.3% and 9.5% of participants, respectively. The rates of sensitization to Epithelia of the cats were higher than that to Epithelia of dogs (26.2% vs. 14.3%, respectively). No significant association was detected between the type of aeroallergen and the age or gender of the participants.

Conclusions:

The most prevalent aeroallergens in the Southern region of Saudi Arabia are pollens, followed by house dust mites and animal epithelia. Sensitization to more than one allergen was common. The use of preventive measures is warranted to reduce sensitization to allergens.
Extramedullary Plasmacytoma of Paranasal Sinuses

Published: September 2022

Extramedullary plasmacytoma (EMP) of the head and neck is a rare malignant tumor that accounts for just 3% of all plasma cell tumors. The mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue of the upper airways is involved in around 80%–90% of EMP. Because there is no conventional treatment regimen for plasmacytoma of the paranasal sinuses (PNS), therapy might be difficult. In this article, we will discuss six cases of EMP PNS, as well as the problems we encountered throughout their treatment.
Importancia del emprendimiento comunitario sostenible de producción de café en las comunidades del cantón Loja
Authors: Villalta López Luis Antonio , Tenesaca Quishpe Gabriela Priscila
Published: September 2022

El presente estudio nace frente a la necesidad de incrementar la producción de café mediante el diseño y desarrollo de emprendimientos comunitarios, y su importancia dentro del ámbito económico y social del cantón Loja-Ecuador. El estudio es de tipo cuantitativo, exploratorio, descriptivo y correlacional. Parte de una población finita de 84.428 personas económicamente activas del cantón Loja. Se estudia a 383 sujetos a partir de una herramienta validada por opinión de expertos y con un Alpha de Cronbach de 0,835. La indagación es no probabilística e intencional.  La técnica de la encuesta y el instrumento del cuestionario permitió la recolección de datos de los sujetos de estudio. Se determinó la correlación de bilateral de Pearson con coeficientes significativos, para ello se calculó las nuevas variables considerando sus promedios, obteniendo como resultado que el emprendimiento comunitario tiene una fuerte correlación con la variable productividad sostenible. Además, se evidencia que el nivel de impacto que los emprendimientos tienen sobre el desarrollo socioeconómico del cantón Loja es alto, la mayor parte de los encuestados respondieron que estos contribuyen de manera significativa al conceder fuentes de empleo y mejorar la calidad de vida de las personas. Se concluye que la falta de emprendimientos comunitarios sostenibles en el cantón Loja, se debe al insuficiente apoyo de políticas adecuadas, de financiamiento de instituciones públicas y privadas, que afectan el objetivo primordial de estimular y concienciar, las habilidades y capacidades de las personas, enfocadas a explotar los recursos naturales, que son fuente de sustento en sus comunidades.

Published: September 2022

In this work, statistical analysis tools of the computational program were used: the computational statistical package R. Data from the monthly precipitation series were analyzed in five airports. It was shown that monthly rainfall showed variability associated with three distinct subgroups, with different intensities of precipitation and represent an overlap in cascades of different spatial and temporal scales, acting on the pattern of precipitation behavior. The use of the chi-square test using as reference the main maximal centroids, obtained by the group analysis technique, allows characterizing the variability of the maximal and possible analysis of the frequency change in the behavior of the time series. In the Spearman Coefficient test, he presented two locations with a trend, Guarulhos and Santa Cruz. However, considering the results and analyzing the metadata information from the observation stations on the surface, we can consider that there is evidence that the variability is within randomness and without showing changes in trends.

Published: September 2022

O heteropoliácido 12-tungstofosfórico foi impregnado em carvão de coco em duas diferentes concentrações, 20 e 50%, visando avaliar a diferença estrutural da amostra impregnada. Os resultados mostraram que o carvão de coco possui uma elevada área específica, indicando seu potencial como suporte para catalisadores de baixa área específica, e que a metodologia de impregnação utilizada foi eficiente devido à formação da estrutura do ácido nas análises de DRX após a aplicação do mesmo.
Percepção ambiental em áreas de influência de pequenas centrais hidrelétricas
Authors: Gomes Ana Paula Wendling , Gomes Adriano Provezano
Published: September 2022

O presente trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar a percepção ambiental de proprietários de imóveis rurais localizados às margens do reservatório de uma Pequena Central Hidrelétrica (PCH). O estudo faz parte de um projeto de educação ambiental que visa mobilizar e motivar os proprietários para recuperação e manutenção de Áreas de Preservação Permanente (APPs). Trata-se de um projeto de grande relevância social, na medida em que os proprietários adquirirem valores e mentalidade ecológica, criando atitudes conscientes necessárias para minimizar os problemas ambientais. Para definir as ações de educação ambiental, inicialmente foi conduzido um estudo de percepção ambiental. Foram realizadas entrevistas diretas com 60 proprietários de terras, moradores do entorno de uma PCH localizada nos municípios de Ouro Preto e Mariana, Estado de Minas Gerais, Brasil. Os resultados revelaram que a grande maioria dos entrevistados (85%) não aceita o reflorestamento da APP em sua propriedade. Quando questionados sobre as leis que regulamentam as APPs, 56,7% dos proprietários dizem conhecer a lei que estabelece as APPs, porém 61,7% desconhecem as infrações a que estão sujeitos, caso não respeitem a lei. Assim, é preciso promover ações focando tanto a importância ambiental das APPs quanto suas obrigações legais, uma vez que a falta de informações sobre as leis foi recorrente nas entrevistas.
