How to Live the Advertisement of Family Planning Products in the Age of "Sex" Change
Authors: Xu Hanwen , Liu Zhiang , Yu Man , Sun Xuning
Published: December 2022

In China, advertising of family planning products rarely transmits the information of family planning products to the public through mass platforms such as television. In addition to policy prohibitions, it is now mostly the pressure of public opinion. Another reason is that the TV advertising investment is large, and the coincidence rate between the TV audience and the current major consumers of family planning products is not high, so it is not necessary for advertisers to put advertisements on the TV platform. Although the advertising of family planning products often wanders on the edge of the prohibition of advertising laws and regulations, there is no way to walk along the river without wetting your shoes. If you don't pay more attention to the advertising of family planning products, it will violate the advertising laws and regulations, which will have a negative impact on the enterprise as well as the society. Although both good and bad advertisements can bring a lot of traffic to enterprises, from the perspective of advertising law and professional ethics, the publicity effect of an excellent advertising work is far greater than that of an advertisement. Advertising should not ignore the moral value of the advertising works in order to pursue the publicity effect. Although it is an advertisement for family planning products, creative breakthroughs should be made as far as possible during the production, rather than violations or even illegal acts. The advertising of family planning products should conform to the advertising laws and regulations, and the advertising producers of family planning products should uphold professional ethics, so as not to let the advertising of family planning products become "rotten", and the era of "sex" change for the sake of this is another layer of public fear of the advertising of family planning products. This article combines the development of family planning product advertising with its gains and losses to make an advertising creation plan suitable for the survival in the age of "sex" color change, summarizes the future development direction of this kind of advertising, and at the same time, finds a solution to the current predicament and existing problems of this kind of advertising.

Exploring the Cultivation Model of Innovative Talents for Undergraduate Students Based on the Evaluation of Innovative Ability
Authors: Li Qiang , Tang Youming , Wei Wei
Published: December 2022

Since the 18th CPC National Congress, China has implemented an innovation-driven development strategy to meet the urgent need for innovative and entrepreneurial talents in society. Deepening a series of innovation and entrepreneurship education reforms in colleges and universities is a critical measure to implement the innovation-driven development strategy more quickly. Meanwhile, cultivating high-quality specialists with international vision, innovative consciousness, innovative spirit, innovative ability, and practical ability is an important guarantee for implementing the national innovation development strategy. Thus, this paper first summarizes the main practices of cultivating innovative talents in economics majors and their effectiveness systematically and analyzes the main problems encountered in the process of cultivating innovative talents in economics majors. Then based on 498 questionnaires, it also explores the influencing factors of the innovation ability of undergraduate students in economics majors. The results show that the basic skills about studies are the main factor that affects the innovation ability of undergraduate students in economics majors, the innovation spirit is a secondary factor, and the influences of innovation skills and comprehensive quality are the weakest. Finally, the paths to promote the cultivation of innovative talents in economics majors are proposed in terms of optimizing talent cultivation goals, adjusting the curriculum structure system, strengthening practical teaching, playing the role of undergraduate mentorship, and relying on the construction of undergraduate research and innovation teams.
THE IMPACT OF MARKETING INNOVATION ON CUSTOMER LOYALTY: THE MEDIATİNG ROLE OF BRAND IMAGE AND CUSTOMER SATISFACTION (A CASE STUDY IN CHEMICAL INDUSTRY)
Authors: TUNÇ Tarkan
Published: December 2022

Marketing innovation is extremely important for companies to create an advantage, especially in highly competitive industries. Because high competition requires the ability to make accurate and timely innovations to keep up with the rapid change. Innovation has a positive effect on profitability and performance, but it is very difficult to ensure its continuity. Loyalty, on the other hand, is the result of intense efforts that require long periods, unlike innovation. Loyalty is very important for companies to live longer under heavy competition. While innovation plays an important role in influencing consumer trends, loyalty is about maintaining those trends. Managing frequently changing customer preferences correctly and achieving this by creating loyalty is the biggest challenge for companies. This research examines the interaction between innovative activities, which are fast and represent change, and customer loyalty, which takes long and difficult processes to create, in a large-scale company operating in the chemical industry, through the concepts of image and satisfaction. The results show that the direct effect of marketing innovation on loyalty is not significant, but the effects over image and satisfaction mediators are significant. The research confirms the mediating role of image and satisfaction in the innovation-loyalty relationship.
Parklife – Listening to Stories as a Deep Missional Practice
Authors: Mann Sally
Published: December 2022

This paper offers theological reflections on a sociological research project the author undertook during the 2020 Covid lockdown, called Parklife (Author, 2021). It adopts Riceour’s hermeneutical phenomenology and the concept of the narratological self to explore the potential for transformation in autobiographical stories. In reflecting on stories gathered from a community of people experiencing homelessness it argues that attentive listening has transformational power - an act of soul recreation, the transformation of the self. It grounds its findings in a set of suggestions to shape how we might better attend to stories and become story-rich communities as a missional practice.
Surfing with the Spirit or sinking into the sea?
Authors: Harrison Mike
Published: December 2022

This essay focuses on that dimension of sharing in the missio dei individually and corporately which involves the formation of Christian character. In particular what should be our first considerations when seeking character formation for participation in the missio dei? This article will suggest that our attention initially should be focused elsewhere than behaviour or direct attempts to change character. Further, while Aristotelian approaches are particularly popular in the contemporary (especially secular) literature, this essay considers the significance of dimensions of Christian character formation which are often underplayed by such approaches, not least loving attachment relationship to the divine and accountability-in-community. While space precludes an exhaustive account of influences on Christian character development, the essay considers aspects of experiencing Christ-centered community in shaping Christian character, utilising recent insights from the field of neuroscience. It concludes with an example taken from an Anglo-catholic setting of how eucharistic worship can contribute to the formation of Christian character and thus of sharing in the missio dei.

Authors: Kantamas Kannikar
Published: December 2022

The major purposes of this study aimed (1) to investigate the communication differences and cross-cultural adaptation of Thai university students studying English in China PR., (2) to investigate the problems of the Thai university students’ cross-cultural adaptation, as well as (3) to investigate factors influencing their intercultural competence. A structured questionnaire was conducted across 30 Thai students as the target group studying English at Yu’Xi Normal University China PR, selected by the purposive sampling technique. The results of the study revealed that 1) demographically, there was not much difference in adaptation between male and female target groups in terms of gender, age, and residency length; 2) negative attitudes in Thai university students to Asians caused a separation between Thai and Chinese groups due to the behavioural characteristics of Thai people who were concerned about speaking straightforwardly. In terms of communication ability, language affects communication directly between individuals and groups in everyday life and the classroom. Also, they all are looking to be positive, open-minded, and accepting; moreover, a new culture can be accepted by not setting yourself up, and language contributes to adapting across cultures to create mutual understanding, as well as to build relations with local people. Also, choosing a friend from various groups in different activities is necessary to exchange opinions with each other in the target society.

Authors: Wei Wenyang , Abdullah Nur Surayyah Madhubala , Noordin Nooreen
Published: December 2022

Many in-service ESL teachers have low interest in using technology in classrooms on account of complex internal and external factors. Thus, guided by Davis’s (1989) technology acceptance model and Borg’s (2003) language teacher cognition theory, this study, which uses a quantitative descriptive survey, aims to further understand in-service middle school English as a second language (ESL) teachers' cognition in the use of technology in Dingxi city, China. The results show that in-service middle school ESL teachers have general positive cognition toward technology in their classrooms and that these teachers are high-level users of technology. The findings suggest that academic institutions can provide more decent technological support to in-service middle school teachers as this will cater to their needs in ESL teaching and learning.

Authors: Ding Lihong , Sitthiworachart Jirarat , Morris John
Published: December 2022

We studied the teaching effect of Zhang’s Presentation - Assimilation – Discussion (or PAD) class mode in undergraduate English class. Taking undergraduates of Lanzhou University of Arts and Sciences in China as an example, we studied the teaching of undergraduate English using PAD in the information technology era. The new PAD mode has three well defined components: teacher presentation, student assimilation and discussion. Using experimental and control oral English classes, with similar input skill, after eight weeks, we found the English proficiency of both groups increased, but the PAD class was significantly better in scores for content and expression, With PAD style teaching, the experimental group improved their mean scores from 74.2 to 80.1 (median 74 to 81.5), whereas the traditional class only improved from 75.4 to 76.8 (median 74 to 79). A t-test confirmed that the results were significant.Assessments, based on questionnaires and interviews, also showed that PAD class teaching improved attitude and learning habits. After the experiment, interviews with some students in the experimental class further confirmed this. Thus the improved learning effect is worth applying in more classrooms to improve undergraduate English ability.

Integration i 'mixed methods' forskning: Metode eller design?
Authors: Frederiksen Morten
Published: December 2022

Udviklingen af mixed methods forskning som en selvstændig forskningstradition er primært sket gennem udviklingen af mixed methods design. Denne artikel argumenterer for, at design-tilgangen bør suppleres med et mere overordnet fokus på, hvordan de adskilte dele af mixed methods projekter integreres til et hele. Med udgangspunkt i en analyse af integrationsbegrebet i mixed methods litteraturen foreslås en klassifikation af seks integrationsformer: teori-, design-, metode-, data-, analyse- og fortolkningsintegration. Hver af disse beskriver en måde at skabe meningsfulde, håndgribelige relationer mellem undersøgelsens dele. Med udgangspunkt i denne klassifikation undersøges anvendeligheden af integrationsbegrebet gennem en analyse af tre meget forskellige traditioner for mixed methods forskning: metodetriangulering, pragmatistisk designoptimering og teori/metode-integration. På baggrund af denne analyse konkluderes det, at integrationsbegrebet kan styrke fokus på og forståelsen af de metoder, der konkret anvendes i kombinationen af delstudier i mixed methods forskning. Endvidere konkluderes det, at integrationstilgangen kan anvendes til at styrke det enkelte mixed methods projekt ved at understrege en række trufne valg og indre relationer i forskningen, der ellers ville være uklare.

Hydraulic Pressure Management of Yerevan City’s Water Supply Systems
Authors: Sahakyan Aram
Published: December 2022

The system’s excessive pressure management after zoning is essential for improving the existing water supply operation efficiency. Our original research proves that pressure control reduces the leaks in the water supply network, increasing the reliability level of the internal and external networks and saving energy consumed in pumping systems. In recent years, 243 pressure regulating valves (PRV) have been installed in the 97 zones of the expanded water supply network in the Yerevan city (the difference between the levels in the city reaches up to 500 meters) for pressure control in complex terrain conditions.
A Complex Organomineral Admixture For Cement Saving
Authors: Shlyakhova Elena , Egorochkina Inna
Published: December 2022

The aim of the research is to prepare a composition of a complex organomineral admixture based on industrial waste for cement saving, to experimentally establish the optimum crushing degree of an ash-and-slag waste composition and to estimate the ratio between mineral and organic components of the complex admixture, ensuring the possibility of reducing cement consumption without loss of concrete strength. As a mineral component of the complex admixture the wastes from thermoelectric power stations were used, representing  by an ash-and-slag waste composition crushed to a fine powder condition. Optimization of the complex admixture is carried out  using mathematical methods of the theory of planning experiments.

As a result of this research a quadratic polynomial model of influence of crushing fineness of ash-and-slag wastes and cement consumption on concrete strength has been obtained. It is established, that depending on the degree of crushing of ash-and-slag waste composition within values of specific surface of received powder from 2400 to 4000 cm2/g it is possible to reduce cement consumption by 8-18 % without loss in strength of concrete. The introduction of complex organomineral admixtures into concrete is very effective as it saves cement. However, special studies are required in each case. The compositions of the new complex admixtures are tested on the basis of traditional raw materials, and economic efficiency in saving cement is established. It is proposed to use the methodology of mathematical modelling of the technological complex system under study, presented in this article.
BERBEDA TAPI SAMA: PLASTISITAS MORFOLOGI SPONGE XESTOSPONGIA TESTUDINARIA DARI PERAIRAN KABUPATEN SITARO DAN SANGIHE?
Authors: Balansa Walter , Rieuwpassa Frets
Published: December 2022

Plastisitas morfologi sponge telah lama menjadi tantangan berat dalam identifikasi jenis sponge dan mempunyai implikasi penting di bidang konservasi spesies, penemuan bahan bioaktif maupun biomaterial berpotensi medis dari invertebrata laut ini. Peran ekologis, kandungan senyawa bioaktif maupun variasi genetik dari X. testudinaria, sponge ikonik di terumbu karang Sulawesi Utara dan Indo-Pasifik ini, telah seringkali dilaporkan. Tetapi penelitian tentang plastisitas X. testudinaria masih sangat terbatas. Untuk menentukan plastisitias X. testudinaria dari Kabupaten Sitaro dan Sangihe, kami membandingkan karakteristik morfologi (contoh, warna, bentuk pertumbuhan, permukaan tubuh, ukuran dan bentuk spikula). Sejauh ini, tiga morfotipe sponge jenis Xestospongia testudinaria telah ditemukan di Kepulauan Sitaro dan Sangihe; (1) morfotipe digitate di Pulau Mahumu, (2) morfotipe lamellate di perairan Enepahembang dan Bebalang dan (3) morfotipe licin di Ulu Siau. Berbeda dengan studi plastisitas X. testudinaria sebelumnya, penelitian kami tidak menunjukkan adanya dominasi dari salah satu morfotipe ini di wilayah di sekitar pelabuhan laut dan daerah dengan masukan sedimentasi tinggi. Kami juga membahas implikasi dari penelitian ini untuk mendapatkan gambaran lebih baik mengenai distribusi berbagai morfotipe X. testudinaria di perairan Nusa Utara.

Morphological plasticity in sponge has become a serious challenge in sponge identification and has an important implication in species conservation. Ecological roles, bioactive compounds, and genetic variation of X. testudinaria, the iconic sponge from the coral reef in North Sulawesi and even Indo-Pacific, have been frequently reported. However, research on the plasticity of X. testudinaria remains limited. To determine the plasticity of this species from Sitaro and Sangihe Islands, we compared the morphological characteristics (e.g. color, growth form, surface, size and the style of spicule). So far, three morphotypes of X. testudinaria have been found in Sitaro and Sangihe Island regencies; digitate, lamellate and smooth surfaces. Different from earlier study on plasticity in X. testudinaria, our research did not show domination of any morphotype in areas near seaport and  high sedimentation. We also discussed the implication of this research to get a better understanding of the distribution of X. testudinaria with different morphotypes in Nusa Utara waters.

Authors: Erdil Nevzat , Akca Baris
Published: December 2022

Aim: This study aims to establish new-onset atrial fibrillation (AF) risk factors and postoperative outcomes after off-pump coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery.
Material and Methods: Four hundred ninety patients who underwent off-pump CABG were enclosed in study. Patients divided into two groups in line with the development of new-onset AF as AF group (n=62) and non-AF group (n=428). Groups were compared in terms of preoperative clinical features and perioperative data, and multivariate analysis accomplished to identify independent clinical predictors of AF following off-pump CABG.
Results: AF was presented in 62 (12.7%) of the patients, and those were significantly older and had significantly higher additive EuroSCORE scores than without AF. Also patients with postoperative AF had significantly prolonged intensive care unit and longer hospital stays at postoperative period. In the multivariant logistic regression analysis performed, advanced age, mean Euroscore, Mild to moderate mitral regurgitation, Prolonged air leak from thorax drain, mean ventilation time, severe pleural effusion, need for inotropic drug support were found to be risk factors for postoperative AF.
Conclusion: Our study showed that age, high Euroscore, mild to moderate mitral regurgitation, prolonged ventilation time, severe pleural effusion and low cardiac output were risk factors of postoperative AF in patients underwent off-pump CABG. Also In patients who developed postoperative AF, prolonged intensive care unit and hospital stays were observed. Prospective randomized studies with larger patient series are recommended to support our study.

Authors: Arslan Arif , Fedakar Ali
Published: December 2022

Aim: We aimed to evaluate the demographic characteristics and early postoperative complications of patients who underwent conventional carotid endarterectomy (CEA) in a secondary level hospital retrospectively.
Material and Methods: Forty-six patients who operated by a single surgeon at Sinop Ataturk State Hospital between January 2015 to December 2016 were included in the current study. Data regarding to demographic characteristics, symptoms, distribution of lesions, diagnostic methods, operation technique and early complications have been collected from handwritten and electronic clinical records.
Results: The mean age was found as 70.9±9.7. Thirty patients were male. The most common risk factors were hypertension (93.5%), hyperlipidemia (50%), cigarette (41.3%) and diabetes (34.8%). Conventional CEA (CCEA) was performed to all patients. Patch plasty was applied to only one patient. According to the internal carotid artery stump pressure, T shunt was performed to 17.4% of patients. One patient died in early postoperative period because of myocardial infarction. In four patients; transient dysphagia, in three patients; hematoma requiring revision, in one patient; uncontrolled hypertension, and in one patients wound infection occurred. Furthermore, delirium occurred in one patient.
Conclusion: Our experience CEA are compatible with the literature. Our results have supported that CCEA with measurement of carotid arter stump pressure are reliable surgical procedure for patients with carotid artery stenosis. Cardiac complications are rare but it can be mortal. Minor surgical complications are more common than death and stroke risk. However, close follow-up can prevent serious complications.
Sleeping Sickness: a congenital case after a possible parents sexual transmission
Authors: Curval Ana , Seixas Jorge , Azevedo In , Maia Ana , Atouguia Jorge
Published: December 2022

The authors identify a rare case of congenital infection by Trypanosoma brucei gambiense on a 21-year-old Afro-Brazilian boy, born in the USA, who was diagnosed at 16 months of age after returning to Portugal. At that moment, neither the patient nor his mother had ever been to Africa.
He was admitted in our Paediatric Department under symptoms of a wasting syndrome, lymphadenopathies and intermittent fever. During the initial evaluation, he was diagnosed with anaemia, hypergammaglobulinemia and a positive serology for cytomegalovirus infection. A month later, the wasting syndrome had gotten worse and he was identified with daytime somnolence. At this point, his mother was diagnosed with HAT, which motivated specific diagnostic procedures in the child. A blood test revealed Trypanosomes, the CATT (Card Agglutination Test for Trypanosomes) was positive and a lumbar puncture was performed, which clearly established the diagnosis of late-stage HAT. Consequently, Electroencephalogram and brain MRI showed extensive brain damage and a Fundoscopic examination revealed spots of an atypical chorioretinitis, probably associated with the combined trypanosomal and cytomegalovirus infection. Treatment was established with intravenous eflornithine (DFMO). The patient tolerated the drug, which led to a gradual clinical improvement, including the complete regression of brain and retinal injuries. Two years after this treatment, parasitological cure was confirmed according to established criteria. At the moment, the patient remains well, and shows a normal psychomotor development.
Diagnostic difficulties in pediatric sleeping sickness, including the elusive characteristics of the patient and his parents’ epidemiological history are highlighted.
On a Type of Exceptional Appositional Construction
Authors: Getsov Anton
Published: December 2022

The article examines a particular variation of the appositional construction, which has not been systematically investigated in the Bulgarian syntactic literature. The study analyses syntactic formations that belong to one of the main types of the appositional construction: common noun + common noun. On the one hand, they exhibit characteristics of the basic (prototypical) construction since they are constituted only by nouns that are not formally linked; on the other hand, however, they differ from the prototype, since – at least at first glance – their structure consists not of two but of three components. These formations, which are not a homogeneous group, could be called exceptional appositive constructions. The specific features of each subgroup require the application of different research approaches when establishing the logical and syntactic dependencies between the components of the constructions.

Various methods were used, in order to protect the material base; the study subject has been put under various conditions and were thus implemented in an attempt to prolong the operating life and to require less maintenance and replacement of parts. Pulsed laser deposition method was used to cover a S 235 carbon steel sample with a thin nickel film, using laser ablation and thus obtaining a protective layer, offering increased corrosion resistance. S 235 carbon steel samples were covered on a single face with thin films. The material used for laser ablation is nickel. The samples were immersed for 126 days in static seawater at ambient temperature and were individually weighted on the analytic balance at different time intervals, in order to determine the corrosion process speed. The study was performed by employing the gravimetric method. Through the corrosion research process using the gravimetric method, the parallelepiped samples covered with Ni using pulsed laser deposition were immersed 126 days in static sea water at environment temperature. The corroded surfaces, after being submerged in seawater, were investigated using optical microscopy and atomic force microscopy. Atomic force microscopy investigations performed on long-term corrosion-tested samples highlight areas with compact and homogeneous surfaces that did not allow the corrosive agent to interact with the base material, a fact confirmed by optical metallographic analysis. Wave mode images show discontinuities of surface-deposited incipient corrosion points that are possible pathways of the corrosive agent to the sample material. The analysis made on one side thin film covered sample, after a long term corrosion test, using atomic force microscopy investigation and gravimetric test, shows the rate of corrosion, the discontinuities of the surface and the corrosion pitting in the material. Evaluating the method of thin film deposition layer leads to the obtainment of high reliability and low cost material parts using this method. The corrosion rate is established, remains constant and protection of the material base is achieved.
desarrollo de la cuestión Malvinas en el gobierno de Juan Domingo Perón (1945-1955)
Authors: Rubio García Gonzalo
Published: December 2022

En el siguiente trabajo se analiza el abordaje que, de la cuestión Malvinas, realizó el gobierno peronista (1946-1955) considerando los discursos políticos y el accionar de los intelectuales que lograron colocar el tema en la agenda política nacional y en la opinión pública, utilizando como mediadores distintas publicaciones culturales y políticas. Las fuentes que dan sustento a esta investigación provienen del Archivo Histórico de la Cancillería Argentina, tratados internacionales firmados en época peronista y revistas culturales y políticas relacionadas al gobierno.
Malvinas, entre literatura e historia. Experiencias sobre la investigación en el nivel de educación superior
Authors: Iorio Rebeca Noemí , Timoszko Irene Eugenia
Published: December 2022

Diversas actividades realizadas en el marco del 40 aniversario de la guerra de Malvinas formaron parte de un trabajo interdisciplinario y colectivo en un instituto superior de formación docente del conurbano bonaerense. Entre ellas, dos propuestas pedagógicas desarrolladas en las cátedras de Historia Argentina del siglo XX y Teoría literaria II nacen de una pregunta inicial: ¿cómo contar la guerra? El diálogo entre literatura e historia parte de una premisa común: el relato como campo de disputa por el sentido. Mientras que la historiografía del pasado reciente nos demuestra que la “cuestión Malvinas” no está exenta de tensiones entre relatos y contrarrelatos, la literatura encuentra en el absurdo y la parodia una estrategia para escenificar el sinsentido de una guerra. Esta experiencia de investigación interdisciplinaria, por demás enriquecedora, permitió el anclaje de conocimientos teóricos, pero, sobre todo, la apropiación y circulación de saberes gestados desde el aula de formación superior generando producciones que engrosan, pero también trascienden el trabajo pedagógico diario y que merece ser compartido. En síntesis, historiar una práctica educativa de carácter local, dando centralidad a los diálogos entre lo situado y lo nacional, dio encuadre final a esta presentación que rescata una memoria pedagógica del Instituto Superior de Formación Docente n°82 (Isidro Casanova, La Matanza).

The management of ingrown toenails with soft tissue/periungual resection without nail resection or matricectomy: A scoping review.
Authors: Anton Andreea , Reilly Ian , Bridgen Andy
Published: December 2022

Background: Most authors cite that an ingrown toenail is caused by an ingress of the nail plate into the periungual soft tissues, though a minority of authors believe that soft tissue pathology is primarily responsible.  Consequently, when nail surgery is indicated, there is a dichotomy in the treatment approach aimed at either nail/nail matrix resection or soft tissue debridement.
Aim: The aim of this research is to collate, code and chart data regarding ingrown toenails managed with soft tissue procedures - without nail or nail matrix resection.
Methods: A scoping review of the literature on soft tissue resection techniques for the management of ingrown toenails without nail or nail matrix resection was carried out using current scoping review practice and PRISMA-ScR guidelines.
Results: 25 articles were included in the review.  Most of these papers were case studies or case series.  Multiple surgical techniques were found but with no clear best technique identified due to low-quality research using heterogeneous methodologies. 
Conclusions: The evidence for the soft tissue management of ingrown nails is lacking in quality but warrants further consideration.  High quality, perspective studies need to be performed to be eligible for future Cochrane reviews.
Hit and miss: The accuracy of intra-articular injections of the first metatarsophalangeal joint
Authors: Reilly Ian N.
Published: December 2022

Introduction: Therapeutic injections provide a treatment option for patients with joint and periarticular pain, those who are not surgical candidates, whom conservative treatment has failed, or those that are awaiting surgery.  Injectable glucocorticoids are one of the most common therapeutic interventions in musculoskeletal healthcare and are widely used in pathologies of the first metatarsophalangeal joint.  The aim of this paper is to highlight current concepts around first metatarsophalangeal joint injection injection accuracy.
Anatomy: The first metatarsophalangeal joint is a condyloid synovial juncture and consists of the head of the first metatarsal, the base of the proximal phalanx, six muscles, eight ligaments and two sesamoid bones, with associated ligamentous attachments.  The joint capsule is shaped like a box.
Methods: To achieve the research aim, a scoping review was undertaken with a search strategy that identified evidence via the following sources: Electronic databases, Google scholar, and Reference lists. 
Results: The search yielded 193 articles, 48 of which appeared of potential relevance.  After removing duplicate articles this total was reduced to 37 articles.  After scanning the content, 27 were excluded to leave 10 articles. Twenty eight further articles were found through related author research, examination of reference  lists and free text searches of Google Scholar.  One reference was unobtainable.  The final count of papers utilised for review was 37 which produced three themes, one of which was injection accuracy.
Injection accuracy: In the long history of injection therapy, infiltrations have often been performed without image guidance, i.e., using palpation guidance, anatomical landmarks and clinical judgement to direct needle entry and advancement.  Needle placement may also be confirmed by use of diagnostic imaging.  Typical imaging modalities are fluoroscopy or ultrasound, used alone or in combination with contrast media.
Discussion: The perceived wisdom is that if an injectate misses its target it is likely to be less effective and lead to false negative reporting of poor treatment outcomes, but the literature is not equivocal.  This article discusses the recent literature in the field.
Conclusions: The literature suggests that steroid injections are safe and effective for the short-term relief of joint pain.  When injecting small synovial joints using palpated-guided methods, clinicians must be alert to the potential for failure of technique from the needle penetrating too far into the articulation and exiting the joint on the contralateral side from the entry point.  Use of shorter needles and use of imaging, +/- the use of contrast media, might reduce the number of such failures.
Real-time Iris Center Detection Based on Convolutional Neural Networks
Authors: DONUK Kenan , HANBAY Davut
Published: December 2022

It is an active field of study in studies where the iris center is referenced, such as iris center detection, gaze tracking, driver fatigue detection. In this study, an approach for real-time detection of iris centers based on convolutional neural networks is presented. The GI4E dataset was used as the dataset for the proposed approach. Experimental results estimated the test data of the proposed convolutional neural network model with an accuracy of 97.2% based on the 0.025 error corresponding to the closest position to the iris center according to the maximum normalized error criteria. The study was also tested in real time with a webcam built into the computer. While the test accuracy is satisfactory, real-time speed performance needs to be improved.
