Authors: Choi Su Jin , So Min Wook , Lee Sunggun , Choi Seung Won , Lim Doo-Ho
Published: December 2024

In contrast to experimental studies indicating the neuroprotective role of uric acid (UA), recent clinical studies have shown that increased UA is associated with a risk of acute hemorrhagic stroke. However, the association of UA with intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) has not been adequately evaluated. In this study, we determined the relationship between UA and IVH in patients with intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). We included 721 patients with ICH who were admitted to a tertiary hospital in South Korea. The patients were stratified into quartiles based on their UA levels. IVH decreased continuously across all quartiles of UA. After adjusting for confounding factors, the odds ratio (OR) for IVH was significantly lower in the fourth quartile compared with that in the first quartile (OR: 0.713; 95% CI: 0.546–0.934; P=0.045). In conclusion, UA is independently associated with IVH, suggesting its protective role against IVH in patients with ICH.

Authors: Goodarzi Mehdi , Dadkhahfar Sahar , Yahyaei Faranak , Razzaghi Zahra , Moravvej Hamideh
Published: December 2024

Background: Lichen planopilaris (LPP) is a rare, inflammatory condition leading to scarring alopecia, predominantly affecting middle-aged women. Traditional treatments have shown limited efficacy, highlighting the need for novel therapeutic approaches. Tofacitinib, a Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitor, has shown promise in treating various autoimmune diseases, including autoimmune dermatological disorders. This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of tofacitinib in treating patients with LPP. Methods: We conducted a retrospective, single-center observational study at Shohadaye Tajrish Hospital, reviewing records of 74 patients with biopsy-confirmed LPP who had extensive and treatment-resistant disease. Patients were treated with tofacitinib 5 mg twice daily for at least 16 weeks. Efficacy was assessed using the LPP Activity Index (LPPAI), and adverse events were monitored. Results: This study evaluated 74 patients with LPP, predominantly female (83.3%), with a mean age of 46.64±8.05 years. The mean LPPAI score significantly decreased from 4.61±1.26 before treatment to 1.73±1.68 after six months (P<0.0001). Response rates varied: 21.62% within 1‒3 months, 24.32% within 3‒6 months, 33.78% within 6‒12 months, and 8.10% within 12‒24 months, with 6.75% showing no response. Adverse effects included headache (8.10%), hyperlipidemia (2.70%), elevated liver enzymes (5.40%), nausea (6.75%), and high blood pressure (4.15%). Conclusion: Tofacitinib represents a promising treatment for LPP, providing significant improvement in disease activity for most patients. Further research is needed to refine treatment protocols, understand predictors of response, and address gender-specific adverse effects.

Authors: Al Bustany Arwa , Abbas Hassan , Al-Omar Abd Al-Naser , Soubh Alaa Mohamad , Shriteh Thanaa , AL Mahfoud Hashem
Published: December 2024

Background: Zinc oxide (ZnO) as an antimicrobial and non-toxic agent has been widely explored in comparison with other materials. The green manufacturing of mineral nanoparticles using plant extracts has outperformed other manufacturing methods due to many advantages. Methods: ZnO nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) were synthesized using two distinct methods: chemical synthesis and a green method involving lemon leaf extract. The synthesized ZnO was characterized using UV-Vis, X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM) , and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) analyses. The antibacterial activity of the resulting ZnO NPs was evaluated against two gram-negative bacterial strains, Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and one gram-positive strain, Staphylococcus aureus, using the etching diffusion method. Results: In this study, ZnO NPs were synthesized using a green method from an inexpensive and readily available source, lemon leaf extract, and compared with those synthesized by a chemical method. The results showed that ZnO NPs obtained via the green synthesis method had a semi-spherical shape with an average size of 14.25 nm, which is smaller than the average size of chemically synthesized ZnO NPs at 34 nm. The effectiveness of the ZnO NPs varied depending on the bacterial strain tested. Grampositive bacteria were more sensitive than gram-negative bacteria. Conclusion: ZnO NPs produced from lemon leaf extract were most effective against S. aureus. Chemically synthesized ZnO NPs were more effective against gram-negative bacteria.

Authors: Bibak Mehdi , Safavi Eisa , Tahmasebi Saeid
Published: December 2024

Background: The present study was conducted to investigate the northern coast of the Persian Gulf (Bushehr province), which is exposed to industrial, agricultural, shipping, and oil pollution. This study aimed to determine the contamination of the northern coast of the Gulf using macroalgae and predict these elements in sediments. Methods: Two items of sediment sampling and macroalgae were investigated. Linear regression was used to predict the amount of trace elements in sediments by macroalgae. In this study, aluminium (Al), calcium (Ca), cadmium (Cd), cerium (Ce), copper (Cu), lanthanum (La), lithium (Li), niobium (Nb), nickel (Ni), phosphorus (P), scandium (Sc), samarium (Sm), thorium (Th), and vanadium (V) were measured. Results: The results showed that the highest amounts of Cd, La, Nb, Sc, and Th in sediment were recorded in Emam Hassan port. The highest mean amounts of Al, Li, and Sm in sediment were reported in Bushehr port. The mean of the highest amount of trace elements absorption was reported in Sargassum glaucescens, Gracilaria corticate, and Rhizoclonium riparium, respectively. The results of linear regression analysis showed that S. glaucescens had the highest efficiency in predicting the amounts of elements in sediments. Conclusion: Predicting the amount of trace elements in sediments by macroalgae can be a great help in this field. In addition, by using the algal index, the amount of this pollution in sediments can be determined with the lowest cost.

Authors: Zahedi Amir , Jaafarzadeh Neamatollah , Mirr Iman , Tahmasebi Yaser
Published: December 2024

Background: Air pollution indexes are used to indicate the level, quantity, and quality of air pollution. The air quality index (AQI) and air quality health index (AQHI) have been developed to report their association with human health. Methods: Air quality variables (PM2.5, O3 , and NOx ) per hour were obtained for March 2021 to March 2022 from three central pollution control centers in Ahvaz, the capital city of Khuzestan province, southwest of Iran. R3-3-4, Minitab-17, and SPSS-19 software were used to analyze the obtained data. Results: In this study, AQHI and AQI were predicted with actual data, forecasting the air quality with two confidence interval percentages of 95 and 80 illustrated for future days. Also, the relationship between AQI and AQHI was determined; hence, this relationship is important for some cities for which the AQHI index is not measurable. AQHI can be determined for each place using AQI values and the obtained relationship. Conclusion: The result indicated that we could also forecast the AQI and AQHI for future days and obtain a new equation for AQHI due to AQI values.
A Digital Twin-Based Study of Material Behavior in the Rolling Process
Authors: Gök Kadir , Esen Cemal
Published: December 2024

The study proposes the development of a digital twin model for the rolling process. This virtual representation allows for the investigation of how various rolling parameters influence the quality of the final product. By employing finite element analysis (FEA), the model can simulate the rolling process under different conditions.

Specifically, the study focuses only workpiece material which includes aluminum alloy (Al2024) for digital twin scenario. Through simulations, critical parameters like the Z-force exerted on the workpiece can be determined and compared. This enables researchers to evaluate different scenarios and identify optimal rolling conditions without the need for costly physical experiments.

FRAME HYPOTHESIS AND ITS IMPLEMENTATION IN THE METHODOLOGY OF TEACHING FOREIGN LANGUAGES
Authors: Mozharovska O.
Published: December 2024

The article raises the issue of implementing the frame hypothesis in foreign language teaching methods. The necessity of using frames and the frame approach in teaching essays and congratulatory texts, as well as creating own texts is emphasized. It is proved that the frame approach is becoming increasingly popular in the methodology of teaching foreign languages. The definitions of frames and their aspects in the works of foreign scientists who laid the foundations of this scientific direction are considered. The features of a frame are highlighted. It is established that a frame is a conceptual structure for the declarative representation of knowledge about a thematic situation, which contains slots interconnected by thematic relations. The emphasis is placed on the need to link frame scenarios with the most typical issues that are usually associated with situations. It is noted that the use of a text frame allows students to present the results of their research and describe the process of working on their projects quite concisely. Attention is focused on the need to develop writing skills for communicative purposes. The algorithm for learning to write ordinary and academic essays, as well as congratulatory texts, is described in detail. The advantages of writing an academic essay are revealed. The author emphasizes that the ability to compose congratulatory texts brings individual cognitive meanings to the speech act. It is stressed that the training frame models the learning situation on the material of the discipline and allows you to effectively form students' lexical and grammatical speech skills. It also helps to learn the basic information of the topic, develops skills in all types of speech activities, and increases motivation to learn.

Multilingualism in metacognitive and self-regulation research: scoping review advocating for comprehensive representation of multilingual complexity
Authors: Quinteros Ortiz Constanza
Published: December 2024

Metacognition and self-regulation play crucial roles in second language acquisition, but their roles in multilingual (L3+) contexts remain underexplored. This scoping review sought to examine how metacognition and self-regulation manifest in learning third or additional languages, particularly regarding how multilingualism was accounted for in the empirical research surrounding these constructs. Three inclusion criteria were: L3+ participants, variables related to metacognition and/or self-regulation, and empirical/experimental design. Studies on test or technology validations, or nonlanguage domains were omitted. A comprehensive search across three databases yielded 52 studies, which were analyzed to assess their exploration of multilingualism's impact on metacognitive and self-regulatory processes. Findings revealed that while these cognitive strategies are crucial for navigating complex linguistic environments, studies often conflated bilinguals with multilinguals, limiting insights into how varied linguistic repertoires influence metacognition and self-regulation. Future research must better differentiate between these groups and investigate how managing multiple languages fosters unique self-regulatory action in multilingual learners.
Percepciones identitarias infantiles y mediación literaria. Un estudio desde el Sistema de Valoración y DBM®
Authors: Martínez Palma Elizabeth , Valenzuela Rettig Pilar
Published: December 2024

This research explores the discursive construction of identity meanings based on the valuative perception of the self, in pedagogical moments of interaction with the literary text ¡Ay, cuanto me quiero! (Paredes, 2003). The study is framed in the qualitative paradigm and analyzes cases of eight- to nine-year-old infants, according to the APPRAISAL System. The study is set in the framework of Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL) and Developmental Behavioural Modelling (DBM)®. The results show the possibilities of the literary communication process to strengthen in the middle childhood period, in accordance with the structuring of cognitive representations, the shaping of personal identity and the understanding of senses of reality. Evidence shows that, from a mediation process the story and under a strategy of reflection on identities, the infants evidence discourses of self-representation centered on the characterization of their personal developments in interactive social spaces. However, only a simple collective self-representation is manifested, at the level of peers and/or family, without generating collective identity discourses located in larger and more complex groups that are mobilized from a cultural, national, or Latin American identification.

Published: December 2024

El propósito de este artículo es reflexionar sobre el proceso y la experiencia de llevar a cabo
estudios de caso mini-etnográficos en educación, aplicados en proyectos de investigación de
corta duración, para eventos únicos o sucesos aislados. La plasticidad de la etnografía la ha
llevado a presentar diversas formas, sobre todo en el área educativa, donde ha tenido que
ajustarse a las necesidades investigativas propias, convirtiéndose así en un asunto
interdisciplinario. Así fue necesario repensar la etnografía para dar paso a nuevas propuestas.
Particularmente interesó en este trabajo puntualizar en el método de estudio de caso
minietnográfico, debido a que permite enfocarse en pocos aspectos, rompiendo así la
intención totalizadora y en considerar las limitaciones de tiempo y de recursos que la mayoría
de los investigadores presentan; se profundiza en la integración de elementos de la etnografía,
la microetnografía, la etnografía escolar, el estudio de caso y el estudio de caso etnográfico,
dando como resultado un método flexible y amplio en posibilidades. Se presentan diversas
aplicaciones en investigación educativa.
La organización social comunitaria como estrategia de reducción de la vulnerabilidad humana ante el colapso planetario
Authors:   Universidad Autónoma del Estado de México, Otálora Barreto Zulma Inés , Sánchez Barreto Rafael Fernando
Published: December 2024

Suponiendo recursos infinitos se planteó un desarrollo consistente en un crecimiento
económico ilimitado, a expensas de la explotación de la naturaleza con el fin de construir una
sociedad de bienestar, pero nos hemos transformado en una sociedad de riesgo. El Foro
Económico Mundial (2024) contempla la crisis climática como el principal riesgo global a
largo plazo y la desinformación por la inteligencia artificial a mediano plazo. Sin embargo,
América Latina enfrenta desafíos socioeconómicos más urgentes como pobreza, desigualdad
e inseguridad pública, que desencadenan migraciones y la explotación descontrolada de la
naturaleza, situación que han motivado alianzas y lineamientos con apoyo transnacional, pero
¿estas estrategias logran llegar a las comunidades y suma a las formas de gestión local. El
objetivo de este trabajo es evidenciar, en el marco de las epistemologías del sur, la forma en
que la organización social comunitaria reduce su vulnerabilidad frente a estos escenarios de
riesgo, proponiendo formas propias de relación con la naturaleza, más allá de la explotación.
Se revisaron cualitativamente diferentes experiencias comunitarias en búsqueda de la
sustentabilidad en las que se evidencia que su organización es determinante de los logros
colectivos, materializados en la protección ambiental y la transformación de los modos de
producción.

Authors:   Universidad Autónoma del Estado de México, Herrera Reyes Lucila , Islas Valverde Gustavo Jesús , Álvarez Nieto Aura
Published: December 2024

La estrecha relación que existe entre el cambio climático y el agua altera los patrones de
precipitación y aumenta la frecuencia e intensidad de eventos climáticos extremos, como
sequías e inundaciones, lo que afecta tanto la disponibilidad como la calidad del agua,
impactando negativamente al medio ambiente. Debido a estos eventos resulta relevante
atender la problemática desde escenarios universitarios a partir de los pilares de la
Sustentabilidad. A propósito de ello, en el plan de estudios de la licenciatura en Diseño
Industrial del Centro Universitario UAEMex Valle de Chalco, se incluyen tres unidades de
aprendizaje en el área curricular de ecología: Recursos Naturales, Impacto Ambiental y
Sustentabilidad del Diseño Industrial. Estas unidades son parte del núcleo formativo y son
obligatorias. Como aporte para este propósito se llevó a cabo un estudio exploratorio en
donde se analizaron las percepciones de los estudiantes que han cursado estas unidades en
comparación con aquellos que no lo han hecho. Los resultados muestran una alta valoración
del medio ambiente, con un notable porcentaje que considera que está amenazado y en riesgo
de deterioro. Además, los estudiantes expresan la necesidad urgente de implementar
alternativas sostenibles desde el ámbito educativo, alineándose con los ODS de la Agenda
2030. Finalmente, se presentan ilustraciones sobre las percepciones universitarias respecto a
los efectos del cambio climático y el agua.
Factores asociados al incremento del grosor de la íntima media de la arteria carótida en personas sin enfermedad cardiovascular sintomática
Authors: Montalvo Raúl , Diaz-Lazo Anibal , Beraun-Barrantes Jose
Published: December 2024

Se considera que el incremento del grosor de la íntima y media de la arteria carótida común (GIMA) puede ser un indicador temprano de enfermedad cardiovascular, incluso en pacientes asintomáticos, lo que puede constituirlo en una herramienta de identificación de potenciales puntos de intervención temprana. Este estudio tuvo como objetivo identificar los factores asociados al incremento del GIMA en pacientes asintomáticos atendidos en el Hospital Regional Docente Clínico Quirúrgico Daniel Alcides Carrión de Huancayo, desde julio de 2022 a junio del 2023. Se realizó una ecografía Doppler carotidea a 150 voluntarios sin enfermedad cardiovascular sintomática, considerándose valores mayores a 1 mm como un GIMA incrementado. El análisis multivariado reportó la hipertensión arterial [OR=4,89; IC95%: 1,64-14,57; p=0,004] y la edad ≥ 55 años [OR=4,26; IC95%: 1,28-14,16; p=0,018] como factores asociados a GIMA incrementado. Si bien los resultados ofrecidos son iniciales, se recomienda que futuros estudios profundicen en el análisis del papel de la edad y la HTA en la enfermedad ateroesclerótica, especialmente en condiciones particulares como grandes alturas.

Authors: Perales Salazar Judith , Santillana Vásquez Pamela Janeth , Botonero Sánchez Vanessa Inés
Published: December 2024

Objective: To determine the factors associated with desertion in a virtual course on disability developed in Peru. Materials and methods: A descriptive, cross-sectional and analytical study was carried out on physicians between 28 and 60 years of age working in different regions of Peru who participated in a virtual course organized in a National Rehabilitation Institute. Sociodemographic variables, factors that functioned as challenges and obstacles, and factors that functioned as support and satisfaction for attrition were evaluated. Results: 229 physicians participated, of whom 32 were dropouts and 197 were non-dropouts (115 men and 114 women), with an average age of 35 years. A statistically significant difference was found between the dropout and non-dropout groups in relation to age, health subsector, and marital status. Factors associated with attrition in the virtual course were age for the 36-43 group (probabilistic risk assessment [PRa]: 1.15; 95% CI: 1.04-11.60) and 44-51 (PRa: 1.19; 95% CI: 1.01-1.40), ESSALUD subsector (PRa: 1.34; 95% CI: 1.09-1.64) and working in the Armed Forces Health Services (PRa: 1.47; 95% CI: 1.10-1.93), and marital status “other” (PRa: 1.31; 95% CI: 1.08-1.57). Conclusions: There is a high frequency of attrition from the virtual course in the age groups 36 to 51, EsSalud subsector and marital status “other” amongst participants.

Objective: To estimate the role of age as a predictor of COVID-19 severity in pediatric patients hospitalized with a COVID-19 diagnosis at a reference hospital in Peru. Materials and methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted, including pediatric patients from one month old to less than 14 years of age, hospitalized between May 2020 and December 31, 2021, at the Edgardo Rebagliati-Martins National Hospital. The exposure variable was age, categorized in six-month intervals. The outcome variable was the severity of COVID-19, determined according to the severity criteria established in the EsSalud Clinical Practice Guidelines for the management of COVID-19 in pediatrics. Crude and adjusted relative risks (RR) were estimated, with their respective 95% confidence intervals (95% CI). Results: Three-hundred and thirty-one patients were analyzed, their median age was 94 months (7,8 years), and the male-to-female ratio was 1.23. Comorbidities were present in 59.5% of the patients, with neurological disorders being the most common (13.9%). Fatalities were 3.3% of the whole sample, and 63.6% of them were severe cases. Severe COVID-19 was found in 9.4% of the sample. In the adjusted regression model, increasing age was not found to be a predictor of reduced risk of COVID-19 severity (adjusted RR= 1.02; 95% CI 0.98-1.06). Conclusion: Our study did not find age as a predictor of COVID-19 severity in hospitalized pediatric patients. Future studies are recommended to further explore and contrast our findings.
THE ROLE OF PUBLIC FINANCE IN UKRAINE’S RECOVERY AND RECONSTRUCTION
Authors: BOGDAN Tetiana
Published: December 2024

To fight the aggressor and strengthen Ukraine’s economy, the government must play a crucial role in mobilizing domestic and foreign resources, allocating them toward set goals through public expenditure. This paper identifies priority areas for government action in Ukraine’s economic recovery, reconstruction, and EU accession, and proposes various instruments of public finance that should be employed by the national government and international partners during reconstruction. I develop a methodology to assess the consolidated budget expenditure required to cover Ukraine’s recovery and reconstruction needs (RRNs) over the period from 2025 to 2028. My findings reveal that budget expenditures to meet Ukraine’s RRNs will amount to 12.3% of GDP in 2025, 15.5% in 2026, 13.8% in 2027, and 12.7% of GDP in 2028. These results suggest that total budget expenditure (including ordinary government functions) will reach 68% of GDP in 2025, gradually declining to 51.4% of GDP in 2028. I demonstrate the need for additional financial assurances from the EU, the United States, international financial institutions, and bilateral donors to support Ukraine’s recovery and reconstruction program.

This study will examine the role of the Village Consultative Body (BPD) in the development planning of Medalem Village using Soerjono Soekanto's role theory. The purpose of this study is to describe the role of the Village Consultative Body (BPD) in the development planning of Medalem Village according to the six indicators of Soerjono Soekanto's role theory. The research method is descriptive qualitative, with data collection techniques through observation and interviews. The results of this study show that the role of the BPD of Medalem Village has not been fully implemented. It is proven from the results obtained that 3 of the 6 indicators of Soekanto's role theory still have problems, namely (1) role conflict in the form of unclear information delivery between the BPD; (2) rights and obligations in the form of BPD supervision are only formalities without in-depth evaluation; and (3) social expectations in the form of the absence of several BPD members without clear explanation.

This study aims to address the challenges in classifying sentiment on Twitter regarding Puan Maharani by implementing the Modified K-Nearest Neighbor (MK-NN) method, supplemented with feature weighting and feature selection techniques. This method is designed to improve accuracy by assigning higher weights to important features and reducing data dimensions to avoid overfitting. Data is collected using a crawling technique on Indonesian-language tweets, which are then manually labeled and processed through a preprocessing stage. The testing results using the modified K-Nearest Neighbor (MK-NN) method with confusion matrices show the model's performance at three different values of K (3, 5, and 7) and data ratios of 90:10, 80:20, and 70:30. With a 90:10 data ratio and K=3, the method achieved the highest accuracy of 89.0%. These results indicate that the combination of MK-NN and related techniques is highly effective in sentiment classification, offering an innovative solution to the limitations of conventional methods. These findings have potential applications in public opinion analysis, particularly for supporting data-driven strategic decision-making.

Efficient waste management presents a persistent challenge, particularly in the areas of waste collection and sorting. Among the contributors to environmental pollution, plastic waste stands out as one of the most significant. To address this issue, this study introduces a Reverse Vending Machine (RVM) system leveraging the Internet of Things (IoT) to automate the management of plastic bottle waste. The proposed system incorporates an incentive mechanism based on a point-reward system, wherein users earn redeemable points by depositing plastic bottles into the RVM. User authentication is facilitated through card and QR code integration, while ESP32-CAM and OpenCV technologies enable real-time bottle detection. The system's development employed the Agile methodology, which allows adaptability to evolving requirements throughout the development process. The iterative approach consisted of three primary phases core functionality development, system integration, and performance optimization. The study's outcome is the deployment of a point-based reward mechanism aimed at encouraging community involvement in plastic waste management. By providing tangible incentives, this system seeks to enhance public awareness and actively promote participation in recycling initiatives for plastic waste.
