Published: September 2024

Currently, the parking management implemented in several public places has not been managed properly, resulting in a buildup of vehicles and it is difficult for many vehicles to find a parking space. The Maspul Jaya boarding house as an example has challenges in managing parking because there are a large number of residents with 60 rooms and a limited number of parking lots, which means residents often have difficulty getting a parking space in the boarding house area. This research aims to design a prototype parking management system using NodeMCU and RFID card technology as a replacement for room number stickers on Maspul Jaya Boarding House residents' vehicles with a multiplatform Android and iOS-based application connected to the network. The data obtained will be processed by the microcontroller and sent to the database server and then displayed in the application. The application testing method used is Blackbox and direct testing of the system hardware. The results of this research are that at the entrance gate, residents can enter through the parking barrier if the driver brings the vehicle close to the infrared proximity sensor, the RFID card is registered, the card status is active and the driver is not detected as being parked. When all conditions are met, the servo as the entrance parking gate will open, and the opposite condition will occur on the side of the exit gate. The maximum reading distance between the object and the sensor is 8 cm and RFID cards can be read at a maximum distance of 3 cm. Apart from that, the results of black box testing on the input-output of this application function well and are free from errors so that monitoring can be carried out via the application on data related to empty parking slots and the history of vehicles that have been parked using both the Android and iOS platforms. With this system, parking management at the Maspul Jaya boarding house will become more organized and efficient.
When the Desire for Beauty Becomes Pathological: The Body Dysmorphic Disorder - An Overview
Authors: Eilers Jill Julia , Kasten Erich
Published: September 2024

This article provides an overview of the development of the body dysmorphic disorder in the context of various prevailing ideals of beauty. The distinction from simple body dissatisfaction is presented, also in view of brainorganic as well as neurochemical differences. Individuals with body dysmorphic disorder have an increased sensitivity to the detection of detail – instead of a holistic view -, making them more likely to notice flaws or blemishes that are unnoticeable to others. This distorted perception can be corrected in the context of cognitive behavioural therapy, provided that the body dysmorphic disorder is recognised as such. The concealment by comorbidities as well as the consequences for affected persons and treatment options are described.
Acculturation Stress, Work-Family Conflict and Mental Health of Ghanaian Immigrants in the United States
Authors: Hines Rodlyn R
Published: September 2024

This study examined the impact of acculturation stress and work-family conflict on the mental health of Ghanaian immigrants in the United States (US). One hundred participants were recruited from two US states to investigate the relationship between acculturation stress, work-family conflict, and mental health among this population. Drawing from the concepts of sociocultural theory, I proposed three hypotheses: (1) High acculturation stress will lead to high work-family conflict, (2) High work-family conflict will result in poor mental health and (3) Work-family conflict will mediate the relationship between acculturation stress and mental health. The results fully supported the first hypothesis and partially supported the second and third. High acculturation stress led to high work-family conflict. Although high work-family conflict resulted in poor mental health, strong family or other support mediated workfamily conflict and mental health. Participants who reported poor mental health also reported lacking family or other support and those who reported strong family support also reported good mental health even with high work-family conflict. The latter group expected their mental health to remain good or improve overtime. I draw on these findings to conclude that Ghanaian immigrants in the US experience significant acculturation stress and work-family conflict leading to poor mental health if they lack good family. These findings have implications for healthcare practitioners who see members of this population.
Connectome Projects and Mentality
Authors: Marx Gerard , Gilon Chaim
Published: September 2024

The various Connectome Projects were undertaken to clarify how the brain works by detailing neural ultrastructures in the brains of c. elgans, mouse and humans. The stated aims of the Connectome projects are: a. To unravel the synaptic-scale organization of the brain. b. To chart the circuits that coordinate the brain's many functions. c. To understand fundamental cognitive operations A review by Eisenstein of these Connectomic Collaborations discussed the results. But this review was somewhat lacking in critical perspective, as will be elaborated below. The Connectome groups as well as Eisenstein review failed to point to the overlooked aspects of neural structure, namely, the neural extracellular matrix hydrogel (nECM/PNN) surrounding all neurons. The presence of nECM/PNN was confirmed by alternate staining techniques, by electron microscopy (TEM, SEM) and mass spectrometry. Thus, there are no " naked " neurons. However, few neuroscientists incorporated these findings into their evaluation of neural connectivity or mental talent. We have previously proposed a tripartite mechanism of neural memory based on a biochemical mechanism, where cognitive unit of information (cuinfo) are realized as metal-centered complexes in the nECM/PNN. The cuinfo code permits the encoding of emotive states by complexing neurotransmitters (NTs) released by neurons/glial cells. Thus, we summarize the facts and hypothesize an operative process. The myopia of the Connectome group and the reviewer blinded them to the totality of neural ultrastructure which includes nECM/PNN and rendered them incapable of formulating a credible mechanism of brain mentality, though they did admit that "the more we know (about structure), the harder it is to turn this into an easy-to-understand model".

Published: September 2024

Genetic features are currently unknown in myelinated retinal nerve fibers (MRNF). For a 20-year-old asymptomatic female with unilateral MRNF, we performed whole genome sequencing (WGS) by standard workflow protocol to produce contiguous long-read sequences with Illumina DNA PCR-Free Prep. After tagmentation, libraries were sequenced on separate runs via NovaSeq 6000 platform at 2 x 150bp read length. Gene variants included rs2248799, rs2672589, rs7555070, rs247616_T and rs2043085_C all associated with an increased macular degeneration risk, and seven novel variants of uncertain significance. For optic disc enlargement, variants rs9988687_A, rs11079419_T, rs6787363 and rs10862708_A suggested an increased risk for this condition. In contrast, modeling revealed retinal detachment risk was reduced by variants identified at rs9651980_T, rs4373767_T, and rs7940691_T which were among five other previously unreported variants. WGS data placed proband at the 66th and 64th percentiles for disc anomaly and retinal detachment risk, respectively. Additionally, risk determined from 16 loci associated with age-related macular degeneration found the patient to be at the 18th percentile for this diagnosis (i.e., below average genetic predisposition). Fundoscopic findings showed mean RNFL thickness was lower with MRNF (77 OS vs. 96μm OD) and RNFL symmetry was impaired (43 %) but stable between 2020 and 2023. Rim area and cup volume were also substantially different (2.33 OS vs. 1.34mm2 OD, and 0.001 OS vs. 0.151mm3 OD, respectively). As the first known evaluation of MRNF via WGS, these data reveal a mixed picture with variants associated with different risks for potentially related ocular pathologies. In addition, we identify multiple new variants of unknown significance. Factors affecting gene expression in MRNF require further study.

Published: September 2024

The overall incidence of liver cancer in the Republic of North Ossetia-Alania has remained stable over the past five years. Moreover, the initial diagnostic of HCC occurs at widespread stage, which limits the possibilities of cured therapy. The Republican Oncology Clinic has accumulated experience in using the drug lenvatinib for advanced and metastatic hepatocellular cancer. In the realities of a small regional dispensary, and has to find a balance between efficiency and availability of therapeutic options to provide effective therapy for all patients. The authors conducted a single-center retrospective analysis of the effectiveness and safety of lenvatinib in real clinical practice in patients with hepatocellular cancer at the Republican Oncology Center of the Republic of North Ossetia Alania. The analysis included 18 patients with HCC who received lenvatinib monotherapy. 11(61%) patients had concomitant viral hepatitis B or C, 15 (83%) had distant metastases to the lymph nodes, lungs, adrenal glands or other organs. A feature of this patient population is the long period of time from the prescription of drug therapy for HCC to its actual start – on average 46 days, with a range from 5 to 100 days. We believe that a delay in initiating therapy may affect the results obtained. Median PFS in 1st line of lenvatinib therapy was 10.1 months (2.3 months to 13.1 months). Median PFS2 (defined as the time from 1st line treatment on lenvatinib to progression on first subsequent therapy) was 19.1 months. 6 (33%) patients received lenvatinib in the second line after progression on another drug therapy. The median second-line PFS in this case was 5.9 months (3.8 months‑7.7 months). Lenvatinib had a manageable and predictable tolerability profile. No new safety signals were identified.

Conclusion: The use of lenvatinib as monotherapy in adult patients with advanced or unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma has proven to be an effective strategy that balances clinical benefit and availability of the drug.

Authors: Titova T. A. , Artamonova E. V.
Published: September 2024

Abemaciclib is an oral inhibitor 4 and 6 (CDK4/6). Abemaciclib differs from other drugs in this group in suppression spectrum of cyclin-dependent kinases and is proven to improve survival rates in different treatment lines of metastatic breast cancer. In randomized clinical trials 3rd phase in patients with early hormone-dependent HR+ HER2 negative breast cancer high risk of progression abemaciclib in conjunction with hormone therapy significantly improves invasive disease-free survival (IDFS) and distant relapse-free survival (DRFS). Long- term outcome studies monarchE with 5 – year follow – up of patients showed that abemaciclib adding to ET increases 5-year IDFS from 76 to 83.6% (HR0.680; 95% CI 0.599 to 0.772; p <0.001) and 5-year DRFS from 79.2% to 86.0% (HR0.675; 95% CI 0.588 to 0.774; p <0.001). Adverse events of 3rd degree and higher are registrated in 45.5% of patients in abemaciclib group and in 12,7% in control group and mainly presented by neutropenia (18.6 and 0.7%) and diarrhea (7,6 and 0.1%). Toxicity profile was expected and controlled. The reasonable dose reduction of abemaciclib did not lead to deterioration of long-term treatment result.

Günümüzde iletişim araçlarının gelişmesiyle birlikte örgütler arasındaki rekabetin şiddetinin giderek arttığı ve örgütlerin sahip oldukları insan sermayesinin rekabet avantajı elde etmede kritik bir rol üstlendiği bilinmektedir. Örgütlerin sahip olduğu bu sermaye çeşitli faktörler tarafından etkilenebilir. Bu faktörlerin en başında yöneticilerin sahip olduğu yönetim anlayışı gelmektedir. Yöneticilerin yönetim tarzları çalışanları olumlu veya olumsuz olarak etkileyebilir. Yöneticilerin çalışanlara sosyal veya sosyal olmayan desteklerde bulunmaları olumlu algılara yol açabilir. Nitekim yöneticilerin çalışanlara ilgi göstermesi, karşılaştıkları zorluklarda yardımcı olması, bilgi, beceri veya kariyer gelişimlerine destek olması; çalışanların örgüt için değerli, önemli, yetenekli olduklarını hissetmelerine neden olabilir. Çalışanların yapmış oldukları mesleği, mesleğin normlarını ve bulundukları örgütü daha fazla benimsemelerini motive edebilir. Bu durum örgütlerin rekabet avantajı elde etmesine, refahının artmasına ve personel devir oranının azalmasına neden olabilir. Buradan hareketle bu çalışma algılanan yönetici desteğinin örgüt temelli özsaygı aracılığıyla mesleki bağlılığa etkisini konu almıştır. Araştırmanın ana kütlesi olarak yedi lokasyonda hizmet veren (İstanbul, İzmir, Malatya, Şanlıurfa, Rize, Bayburt, Van) bir çağrı merkezi şirketi seçilmiştir. Araştırma sonuçları algılanan yönetici desteğinin örgüt temelli özsaygıyı ve mesleki bağlılığı pozitif etkilediğini göstermektedir. Ayrıca örgüt temelli özsaygının algılanan yönetici desteği ile mesleki bağlılık arasındaki ilişkiye aracılık ettiği bulunmuştur.

Rekabetçi siyasal sistemlerin en önemli aktörleri siyasal partilerdir. Siyasal partilerin yasama ve yürütmede temsil edilip edilmeyeceği ise seçim sistemleri ile belirlenir. Türkiye'de parti sistemleri dönemsel olarak ve özellikle de seçim sistemi ile ilişkisi bağlamında çok sayıda çalışmada ele alınmıştır. Ancak Hükûmet sistemi değişikliğinin parti sistemine etkisini nicel veriler ile işleyen çalışma sayısı sınırlıdır. Bununla birlikte parti sistemlerini sadece sayısal veriler üzerinden incelemek yetersiz kalmaktadır. Türkiye örneğinde olduğu gibi seçim sisteminin seçim ittifaklarını zorunlu kıldığı durumlarda parti sistemini partiler arasındaki işbirliği ilişkileri ile de açıklamak gereklidir. Bu bağlamda çalışmada Türkiye’de Hükûmet sistemi değişikliği ile birlikte çok partili sistemin aşırılaştığı ve baskın partili bir kimlik kazandığı değerlendirilmiştir. Ayrıca seçim sisteminin içerdiği kural ve ilkelerin yasama organında siyasal partilerin aşkın temsiline neden olduğu sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.

Analysis of Population Change of the 0-14 Year Age Group in Türkiye (2000-2022)
Authors: Sertkaya Doğan Özlem
Published: September 2024

Age groups with wide and narrow ranges provide the opportunity to make detailed evaluations for planning studies in demographic analyses. Particularly, population pyramids are prepared using age group data by sex. In the bottom three rows of the pyramids, 0-4, 5-9, and 10-14 age group data can be used to evaluate population growth and fertility rates. In addition, age groups provide an indication of the amount of dependent and active population in a society, thus facilitating future population forecasts. Broad age ranges categorize the 0-14 age group as the young dependant population, the 15-64 age group as the active population, and the 65+ age group as the elderly dependent population. The proportional change of these age groups in certain date intervals and the reasons for which age groups are in an upward or downward trend also give an idea about the general welfare levels of countries. The current population's demographic trends guide the planning of employment, education, health, and many other socio-economic investments. Population policies are based on the proportional distribution of age groups and population projections. In this study, the change in the population of the 0-14 age group in Türkiye has been analyzed according to the Classification of Territorial Units for Statistics Level-1 (İBBS Düzey-1) since 2000. The population amount, population density, age, and gender structure of this age group are emphasized. In the research, State Institute of Statistics (DIE) 2000 General Population Census and TURKSTAT (TÜİK) Regional statistics data for 2022 were utilized. In 2000, since the Classification of Territorial Units for Statistics had not yet been established, province-based data from 2000 were evaluated and new data were created at the “İBBS Düzey-1” (CUTS Level-1) scale in order to ensure integrity in tables and graphs.

The research findings revealed a correlation coefficient (r) of -0.421 with a significance value of 0.000 (p < 0.05), indicating a negative relationship between interpersonal communication and marital satisfaction in rural families. The effective contribution of interpersonal communication to marital satisfaction was 17.7%.
The Pink Flags of Sleep: How sleep-wake cycle awareness can create an opportunity for early intervention
Authors: Gorban Carla
Published: September 2024

This piece explores the significance of a consistent sleep-wake routine as a critical component in maintaining mental health and preventing mood disruptions. Emphasizing the interconnection between sleep patterns, physical activity, and light exposure, the author presents a structured routine designed to regulate sleep and prevent potential declines in mental well-being. The routine includes a gradual morning wake-up with natural light, timely daily activities, and an evening wind-down process aimed at ensuring restful sleep. A novel concept introduced is the identification of "pink flags," subtle deviations in routine that signal early signs of potential mental health challenges. Pink flags serve as precursors to more significant "red flags," which typically require immediate intervention. By closely monitoring these pink flags, the individual can take early corrective actions, such as adjusting their routine or engaging in self-care activities, to prevent further deterioration in mental health. The paper contributes to the ongoing debate regarding the role of sleep patterns in mood regulation, questioning whether changes in sleep are a cause or symptom of mental health shifts. Regardless of this uncertainty, the focus remains on using sleep-wake cycle awareness as an empowering tool for early intervention. This structured approach provides the individual with the opportunity to recognize subtle shifts in their mental state, allowing them to address issues before they escalate, enhancing their overall well-being.

Depletion of oil and gas resources is a major concern for researchers and the global community. Researchers are trying to develop a way to overcome these issues using the Fischer–Tropsch synthesis (FTS) process. The FTS reaction converts a mixture of hydrogen and carbon monoxide gases into a liquid fuel. The reactions are performed in the reactor and in the presence of a catalyst. A series of catalysts, such as iron, cobalt, nickel, and ruthenium, have been used for the FTS process. In iron-based catalysts, the Fe5C phase is the active phase that produces C5+ hydrocarbons. At higher conversion rates, the presence of water in the products is a problem for cobalt catalysts because it can trigger catalyst deactivation mechanisms. Ni-based catalysts play key roles as base catalysts, promoters, and photothermal catalysts in FTS reactions to produce different useful hydrocarbons. Ruthenium catalysts offer not only high activity but also selectivity toward long-chain hydrocarbons. Moreover, depending on the Ru particle size and interaction with the oxide support, the catalyst properties can be tuned to enhance the catalytic activity during FTS. The detailed reaction pathways based on catalyst properties are explained in this article. This review article describes the issues and challenges associated with catalysts used for the FTS process.

Background

The emergence of ESBLs producing cephalosporin-resistant Escherichia coli isolates poses a threat to public health. This study aims to decipher the genetic landscape and gain insights into ESBL-producing E. coli strains belonging to the high-risk clone ST410 from pediatric patients.

Methods

29 E. coli ST410 isolates were collected from young children and subjected to antimicrobial susceptibility testing, Whole-genome sequencing (WGS), serotype analysis, MLST, ESBL genes, virulence genes, and plasmid profiling.

Results

Antimicrobial susceptibility testing demonstrated a high level of resistance to cephalosporins followed by aminoglycoside, sulfonamide, carbapenem and penicillin group of antibiotics. However, n=20/29 shows MDR phenotype. Phylogenetic group B2 (n=15) dominated, followed by group D (n=7), group A (n=4), and group B1 (n=3). Serotyping analysis identified O1:H7 (n=8), O2:H1 (n=6), O8:H4 (n=5), O16:H5 (n=4), and O25:H4 (n=3). Other serotypes identified included O6:H1, O15:H5, and O18:H7 (n=1 each). The most commonly detected ESBL genes were blaCTX-M, (n=26), followed by blaTEM (n=23), and blaSHV (n=18). Additionally, blaOXA-1 (n=10), blaOXA-48 (n=5), blaKPC-2 (n=3), blaKPC-3 (n=2), blaNDM-1 (n=4), blaNDM-5 (n=1), blaGES-1 (n=2), blaGES-5 (n=1), and blaCYM-1 (n=3). Notable virulence genes identified within the ST410 isolates included fimH (n=29), papC (n=24), hlyA (n=22), and cnf1 (n=18), among others. Diverse plasmids were observed including IncFIS, IncX4, IncFIA, IncCol, IncI2 and IncFIC with transmission frequency ranges from 1.3X10-2 to 2.7X10-3.

Conclusion

The ST410 clone exhibited a complex resistance profile, diverse serotypes, the presence of specific resistance genes (ESBL genes), virulence gene repertoire, and diverse plasmids. The blaCTX-M was the most prevalent ESBL gene detected.
A neural perspective on the treatment of hypertension: the neurological network excitation and inhibition (E/I) imbalance in hypertension

Despite the increasing number of anti-hypertensive drugs have been developed and used in the clinical setting, persistent deficiencies persist, including issues such as lifelong dosage, combination therapy. Notwithstanding receiving the treatment under enduring these deficiencies, approximately 4 in 5 patients still fail to achieve reliable blood pressure (BP) control. The application of neuromodulation in the context of hypertension presents a pioneering strategy for addressing this condition, con-currently implying a potential central nervous mechanism underlying hypertension onset. We hypothesize that neurological networks, an essential component of maintaining appropriate neurological function, are involved in hypertension. Drawing on both peer-reviewed research and our laboratory investigations, we endeavor to investigate the underlying neural mechanisms involved in hypertension by identifying a close relationship between its onset of hypertension and an excitation and inhibition (E/I) imbalance. In addition to the involvement of excitatory glutamatergic and GABAergic inhibitory system, the pathogenesis of hypertension is also associated with Voltage-gated sodium channels (VGSCs, Nav)-mediated E/I balance. The overloading of glutamate or enhancement of glutamate receptors may be attributed to the E/I imbalance, ultimately triggering hypertension. GABA loss and GABA receptor dysfunction have also proven to be involved. Furthermore, we have identified that abnormalities in sodium channel expression and function alter neural excitability, thereby disturbing E/I balance and potentially serving as a mechanism underlying hypertension. These insights are expected to furnish potential strategies for the advancement of innovative anti-hypertensive therapies and a meaningful reference for the exploration of central nervous system (CNS) targets of anti-hypertensives.
