Purpose Varlitinib is a pan-human epidermal growth factor receptor (HER) inhibitor targeting epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2), and HER4. We present a phase Ib/II study of a combination of varlitinib and weekly paclitaxel as a second-line treatment for patients with EGFR/HER2 co-expressing advanced gastric cancer (AGC).Materials and Methods Patients whose tumors with EGFR and HER2 overexpression by immunohistochemistry (≥ 1+) were enrolled. Varlitinib and paclitaxel were investigated every 4 weeks. After determining the recommended phase II dose (RP2D) in phase Ib, a phase II study was conducted to evaluate the antitumor activity.Results RP2D was treated with a combination of varlitinib (300 mg twice daily) and paclitaxel. Among 27 patients treated with RP2D, the median progression-free survival and overall survival (OS) were 3.3 months (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.7 to 4.9) and 7.9 months (95% CI, 5.0 to 10.8), respectively, with a median follow-up of 15.7 months. Among 16 patients with measurable disease, the objective response rate (ORR) and disease control rate were 31% and 88%, respectively. Patients with strong HER2 expression (n=8) had a higher ORR and longer OS, whereas those with strong EGFR expression (n=3) had poorer outcomes. The most common adverse events (AEs) of any grade were neutropenia (52%), diarrhea (27%), aspartate aminotransferase/alanine transaminase elevation (22%), and nausea (19%). No treatment-related deaths or unexpected AEs resulting from treatment cessation were observed in patients with RP2D.Conclusion A combination of varlitinib and paclitaxel displayed manageable toxicity and modest antitumor activity in patients with EGFR/HER2 co-expressing AGC who progressed after first-line chemotherapy.
Optimizing Carbon Monoxide Emission Reduction Using Rice Husk
Activated Carbon in Automobile Exhaust Systems
Authors: Natrayan L. , Seeniappan Kaliappan
Published: April 2024

This research effort is to optimize the conditions to minimize carbon monoxide
(CO) gas emissions utilizing activated carbon derived from rice husks, an
abundant agricultural waste. In the automobile industry, addressing vehicular
emissions is crucial due to environmental ramifications and stringent regulatory
mandates. This study presents an innovative and potentially cost-effective
solution to capture CO emissions, mainly from motorcycles. The eco-friendly
nature of using rice husks and the detailed findings on optimal conditions (20
m/s gas flow rate, 0.47 M citric acid concentration, and 30 g mass of activated
carbon) make this research invaluable. These conditions achieved a commendable
CO adsorption rate of 54.96 ppm over 1250 s. Essentially, the insights from this
research could spearhead the development of sustainable automobile exhaust
systems. By integrating activated carbon into these systems, there’s potential
to capture CO and possibly other detrimental gases, reducing the environmental
impact of vehicles. This approach might herald a new era in environmentally
conscious automotive technologies.
Weighted norm inequalities for integral transforms with splitting kernels
Authors: Pinos Alberto Debernardi
Published: April 2024

We obtain necessary and sufficient conditions on weights for a wide class of
integral transforms to be bounded between weighted $L^p-L^q$ spaces, with
$1\leq p\leq q\leq \infty$. The kernels $K(x,y)$ of such transforms are only
assumed to satisfy upper bounds given by products of two functions, one in each
variable.
The obtained results are applicable to a number of transforms, some of which
are included here as particular examples. Some of the new results derived here
are the characterization of weights for the boundedness of the
$\mathscr{H}_\alpha$ (or Struve) transform in the case $\alpha>\frac{1}{2}$, or
the characterization of power weights for which the Laplace transform is
bounded in the limiting cases $p=1$ or $q=\infty$.
Representing polynomial of ST-CONNECTIVITY
Authors: Iraids Jānis , Smotrovs Juris
Published: April 2024

We show that the coefficients of the representing polynomial of any monotone
Boolean function are the values of the M\"obius function of an atomistic
lattice related to this function. Using this we determine the representing
polynomial of any Boolean function corresponding to a ST-CONNECTIVITY problem
in acyclic quivers (directed acyclic multigraphs). Only monomials corresponding
to unions of paths have non-zero coefficients which are $(-1)^D$ where $D$ is
an easily computable function of the quiver corresponding to the monomial (it
is the number of plane regions in the case of planar graphs). We determine that
the number of monomials with non-zero coefficients for the two-dimensional $n
\times n$ grid connectivity problem is $2^{\Omega(n^2)}$.
Normalization of Arabic Dialects into Modern Standard Arabic using BERT and GPT-2
Authors: Alnajjar Khalid , Hämäläinen Mika
Published: April 2024

We present an encoder-decored based model for normalization of Arabic dialects using both BERT and GPT-2 based models. Arabic is a language of many dialects that not only differ from the Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) in terms of pronunciation but also in terms of morphology, grammar and lexical choice. This diversity can be troublesome even to a native Arabic speaker let alone a computer. Several NLP tools work well for MSA and in some of the main dialects but fail to cover Arabic language as a whole. Based on our manual evaluation, our model normalizes sentences entirely correctly 46\% of the time and almost correctly 26\% of the time.
Perceptions of 21st-century digital skills and agency among design sprint participants in Laurea UAS, Finland
Authors: Mononen Asko
Published: April 2024

This explorative study investigated students’ (N=16) perceptions before and after the study unit Digital Analytics and Consumer Insights. The studies were conducted as an intensive hybrid five-day design sprint, a variant of project- and problem-based learning. An online questionnaire with a 5-point Likert scale was used for data collection. The findings indicate that the intervention improved perceptions of most studied digital “hard skills” (8/11 claims). Out of twelve 21st-century “soft skills” claims, perceptions were high initially and improved significantly for critical thinking and systematic problem-solving claims during the design sprint. The agency scores showed a slight improvement but no significant difference. Face-to-face groups would be willing to recommend the sprint method more for peers than online groups.  In the era of global turbulence and artificial intelligence, in addition to hard skills, soft skills like communication, teamwork, problem-solving and project management are in demand by employers. According to LinkedIn data in 2/2024, adaptability is the most demanded skill. In addition to traditional subjects, the pedagogical methods in higher education should better support the development of 21st-century skills.
Agronegócio: uma proposta conceitual
Authors: Romero Gustavo
Published: April 2024

Este artigo busca uma proposta conceitual do agronegócio. Inicialmente, são oferecidas duas revisões bibliográficas. A primeira destaca duas concepções analíticas distintas da atividade agropecuária, a de cadeia agroindustrial (CAI) e a de sistema agroindustrial (SAI). Na sequência, são apresentadas as duas correntes teóricas prevalescentes nessa discussão, genericamente conhecidas pelas siglas CSA (Commodity System Approach) e SAA (sistemas agroalimentares), que utilizam os direcionadores analíticos do CAI e do SAI de formas distintas, e sua relação com o paradigma ECP (estrutura-conduta-desempenho). A partir dessa revisão, evidencia-se como essas leituras produziram um viés interpretativo que limitou a palavra agronegócio apenas às suas funções negociais ou operacionais. Apresenta-se ao final, em contrapartida, uma proposta de agronegócio como conceito, salientando seu potencial para desenvolver discussões que valorizem o aspecto sistêmico envolvido nas decisões dos núcleos produtivos agropecuários.

Published: April 2024

Adli bilimler, bir suçun aydınlatılması için birçok farklı konuda uzmanın beraber çalıştığı multi-disipliner bir alandır. Birden fazla suç türünde suçlunun ve masum bir insanın ayırt edilmesinde yararlanılan bir disiplin olan adli genetiğin adli bilimler kapsamında yeri büyüktür. Kısa ardışık tekrar (STR) analizleri en sık yürütülen adli genetik analizlerden olup akrabalık tayinleri, ebeveynlik testleri, olay yerinden ve/veya şüphelilerden elde edilen delillerin karşılaştırılması ya da bireylerin kimliklendirilmesi gibi birçok farklı durumda kullanılmaktadır. Bu biyobelirteçlerin sayısı, analizlerde kullanılan kitlerin içeriğinde değişiklik gösterebilmektedir. Çalışmanın amacı doğrultusunda HUMDNA Typing Yanhuang PCR Kitinin adli bilimler alanında kullanılabilirliği değerlendirilmiştir. Bu çalışma kapsamında da alanda sıklıkla tercih edilen iki farklı kite (Identifiler Plus ve GlobalFiler) ek olarak HUMDNA Typing Yanhuang PCR Kiti kullanılmış olup bu üç farklı kit karşılaştırılmıştır. İncelenen lokus sayılarının farklı olması adli bilimlerde ayrım gücü açısından oldukça önemlidir. Bu karşılaştırmaya ek olarak HUMDNA Typing Yanhuang PCR Kiti kullanarak çoğaltılan örneklerin yürütmesinde üç farklı iç standart (LIZ500, LIZ600 ve kit dahilindeki Salmon500) test edilmiş ve LIZ600 ile daha temiz sonuç alındığı görülmüştür. Son olarak adli bilimlerde oldukça önemli bir konu olan örnek miktarı azlığındaki sıkıntıların giderilmesi için kitin ne kadar kullanışlı olduğunu görmek adına farklı oranlarda (1, 1/2.5, 1/5) PCR karışımları hazırlanmış ve test edilmiştir. Yürütülen analizlerde her oranda da başarılı sonuçlar elde edilmiş ve böylelikle çok az miktarda DNA ile dahi sonuç alınabildiği görülmüştür. Sonuç olarak HUMDNA Typing Yanhuang PCR Kitinin adli bilimler dahilinde yürütülen genetik çalışmalarında kullanışlı bir kit olduğu düşünülmektedir. Gelecekte yapılacak muhtemel mutasyon tespiti çalışmaları ile birlikte oldukça önemli verilerin literatüre kazandırılabileceğini düşünmekteyiz.

Relapsing polychondritis (clinical observations)
Authors: Skryabina Е. N. , Aleksandrova О. L. , Romanova I. А. , Rebrov А. Р. , Nikitina N. М.
Published: April 2024

Relapsing polychondritis (RPC) is an autoimmune disease manifested by both repeated attacks and a persistent inflammatory process with progressive destruction of cartilaginous structures, in particular, chondritis of the ears, nose, larynx, bronchi, and joints. RPC is a rare disease (about 1000 cases have been described worldwide). Diagnosis of RPC and the choice of treatment tactics are very difficult, which is associated with the rarity of the pathology, undulating, unpredictable course, and the lack of specific laboratory markers.

The clinical observations presented in the article confirm the complexity of diagnosing RPC. Before the disease was verified, both patients repeatedly consulted different specialists: the first patient was diagnosed 3 months after the onset of characteristic symptoms of RPC, and the second patient – 1.5 years later. Late diagnosis and the lack of a unified approach to treatment were the reason for the development of prognostically unfavorable lesions in the second patient – chondritis and perichondritis of the larynx.

THE SOMATIC CULTURAL CODES IN THE STUDY OF ENGLISH, RUSSIAN AND UZBEK PHRASEOLOGISMS
Authors: Batyrkhanova Madina
Published: April 2024

This article is devoted to the study of somatic phraseological units, which allows us to identify their main factors in the Uzbek, Russian and English languages. Linguists and researchers have studied the cultural codes in phraseology and highlighted their various classifications. The issue of categorizing phraseology into cultural codes plays an important role in revealing the national landscape of the world. FBs belonging to one of the cultural codes can also be related to other cultural codes, thus revealing the integrity and hierarchy, i.e., gradation, inherent in the semiotic system of language. This research paper focuses on the issues related to somatic phraseology in Uzbek, English and other cultural codes in Russian, identifying their equivalents and providing appropriate translation. The purpose of this paper is to study somatic units and identify their similarities and differences in Uzbek, Russian and English. A distinctive feature of somatic phraseology is the presence of many similarities in the figurative orientation of collocations in the languages. This feature sharply distinguishes SPhU from other thematic groups. The use of names of body parts in PhU is explained by the fact that when naming a new object, a person, first of all, relies on the association with what he knows and is familiar with. First of all, a person compares himself/herself with himself/herself, and his/her body parts with the things that surround him/her. Studying and comparing PhUs of two or more languages helps to reveal specific features of culture and mentality of different peoples. Sometimes it is possible to identify differences in the thinking of speakers of a particular language. Our study also revealed historical parallels characteristic of the languages being compared.

Bibliometric analysis of the literature on the teaching of information literacy skills in Sub-Saharan African institutions of higher learning
Authors: Jain Priti , Jorosi B. N. , Kadimo Khutsafalo
Published: April 2024

Information literacy skills (ILS) have increasingly become indispensable in the higher education landscape largely due to the explosion of information which is generated by the Internet and a myriad of information communication technologies (ICTs). Known differently as bibliographic instruction, user education, user instruction, library instruction, instruction services, and libraries and learning, ILS boasts of an impressive history spanning more than ten decades during which a considerable body of multidisciplinary literature has been generated. However, although the impressive contributions of ILS are self-evident, bibliometric studies focusing exclusively on Sub-Saharan African contexts are scarce. Consequently, there is a limited understanding of how ILS are taught in the broader African institutions of higher learning landscape. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to examine how this core skill is taught in the African context. The study employed bibliometric analysis and review methods to explore the profile and research trends in information literacy skills in African universities and higher education institutions. Data were collected from the Web of Science database‟s core collection from 1990-2021 (31 years) using a variety of search strategies. Data were analysed through Web of Science‟s Clarivate Analytics and some data were exported to Microsoft Excel to produce images and graphs. The findings of the study revealed: the year 2020 with the most publications; the University of South Africa the most productive research institution; E. E. Baro, the most prolific author in writing on IL; the most research productive country Nigeria; the most dominant publishing outlet journals and the most citations were received in the year 2020.

Published: April 2024

The provision of traditional information to a wide range of communities with different classes of leadership and a mixed multitude is a major challenge to Omoku communities. The research is aimed at disseminating traditional information via digital means in Omoku communities in Onelga. The study adopted a descriptive survey design with a sample size of 500 (250 males and 250 females) from 27 communities in Omoku town. The study was guided by three research questions and three null hypotheses which were tested at 0.05 α-level of significance. A questionnaire of 15 items was used to collect data, while Cronbach’s alpha reliability coefficient value of 0.84 was estimated for the instrument. The research questions were determined by mean and standard deviation, and the hypothesis was tested by z-test and linear regression statistics. Hypotheses one and three were tested with z-test, whereas hypothesis two was tested with linear regression. The findings reveal that town criers, as a means of disseminating traditional information in Omoku communities, are slow and capable of inciting violence. The findings also reveal that Omoku indigenes were familiar with digital technology and were interested in the digital dissemination of traditional information. However, the indigenes of Omoku communities lament the issues of poor network coverage, irregular power supply and non-availability of funds to procure smart phones and also subscribe to the network. The study therefore recommends the provision of network mast, fund and orientation programmes for the 12 communities in Omoku, among others.

Authors: Phillips Kathleen C. , Oyewole Olawale
Published: April 2024

Positive perception of the ethical issues in libraries by library personnel in polytechnics could motivate them to adhere to the ethics of library service delivery. However, reports from studies have shown that while some library personnel had a positive perception of some ethical issues, they also had negative perception of other ethical issues. Demographic factors could determine the type of perception that library personnel have towards ethical issues in libraries. Therefore, this study examined demographic factors as determinants of perception of ethical issues in libraries by library personnel in selected polytechnics in Southwestern Nigeria. The study adopted the descriptive survey research design of the correlational type. The population of the study consisted of 169 library personnel of the Polytechnic, Ibadan, Oyo State, Yaba College of Technology, Lagos State and Moshood Abiola Polytechnic, Ogun State. All the library personnel participated in the study and data were collected through the questionnaire. Results showed that out of the demographic factors, age (r=.228**; N=148; p<0.05), marital status (r=.222**; N=148; p<0.05), religion (r=.294**; N=148; p<0.05) and years of experience (r=.257**; N=148; p<0.05) had a positive significant relationship with perception of ethical issues in libraries. Therefore, in planning workshops that will impact positively on the perception of ethical issues by the library personnel, these demographic factors should be put into consideration.

Authors: Awoyemi Robert Akinade , Agbetuyi Priscilla Abike
Published: April 2024

One of the altmetrics for measuring the global ranking of universities by the Times Higher Education is web visibility of universities which is partly determined by research activities undertaken by them. Across the globe, universities are set up with tripartite mission of teaching, research and community service. The university system represents one of the most concentrated communities of scholars engaging in research activities leading to new discoveries, innovations and the creation of new knowledge, thus expanding the frontiers of knowledge. The output of research activities undertaken by academics when published and disseminated through various platforms to different community of practice, can be a basis for further research or the findings can be implemented, thus impacting the larger society, the nation and the global world at large. Despite the rigour of undergoing research projects, poor visibility of research output had been reported in some African studies. Hence, this study critically examines how scholarly communication among academics in Nigerian universities can gain global visibility and more impact. Based on these identified gaps, the paper examines scholarly communication of research outputs by reviewing related empirical studies on visibility of research outputs among university academics in Africa and Nigeria; and develops a framework for advancing global visibility of research outputs among Nigerian academics.
