Published: June 2023

Aromatic plants possessing medicinal and bioactive features are the optimistic treatments for irremediable diseases like Leishmaniasis and vitiligo. Leishmaniasis, a lethal disease with over 350 million affected people, has made it a growing concern due to its non-effectual drugs and increasing pathogenic resistance. While vitiligo with globally 1% inhabitants suffering from an autoimmune disorder of depigmentation as macules on skin. Both diseases have two common characteristics: affecting the quality of life; chances of relapse due to ineffectiveness and short-lived treatments. For leishmaniasis, pentavalent antimonials in intravenous mode are the propitious large-scale approach; oral drug miltefosine and liposomal amphotericin B have been in use for a long term. Various combination therapies of paromomycin, sitamaquine, and pentamidine with antimonials up to some extent have delimited the degree of reoccurrence. However, the cost-ineffectiveness, short-term, and detrimental side effects are the roots of failure. Treatment via topical drugs, phototherapies, and surgeries has delimited effectiveness for vitiligo. This review studies the therapeutic approach of a total of 16 essential oils from plants in treating Leishmaniasis and vitiligo with efficacy and long-term effects. Among the 6 EOs notable effect of Bergamot oil with nano-lipid formulations manifested potential for permanent repigmentation. This review also noted the promising potentiality of essential oil mono-therapies, its combination utilities with current drugs could be the active and potential approach to treatment. Such as the combination anti-leishmanial effect of Curcumin and eucalyptus essential oil with miltefosine and glucantime respectively. The phenomenal effects of essential oil from Tetradenia riparia suggested notable anti-leishmanial and immunological responses towards Leishmania and could be utilized as an Anti-leishmanial drug with further insights.

Authors: Wahyudi Efendi Aco , Weijia Chi
Published: June 2023

The buffer stop also offers a gradual deceleration to the train, lowering the chance of passenger harm and railway damage. The buffer stop's conduct is critical for the train system's safety and integrity. The researcher conducted an analysis of the behavior of the buffer stop after being hit by an oncoming train and experienced failure in braking by using solid steel materials and with an additional layer of rubber on the head end of the train stop buffer. With reference to the impact force parameters that have been calculated in previous studies so that it can be viewed from the stress that occurs and the value of the lateral movement that occurs at the buffer stops.From the results of the analysis of this study it is known that an increase in the ability of the buffer stops by replacing steel material with rubber does not provide a significant increase, however, thickening the flange and web of the buffer stops provides a significant increase in capability with a ratio of 3,582 to the applied stress. and increased ability to reduce the length of the drift by a ratio of 2,478.

Authors: Khokhlov A. L. , Gorelov K. V. , Rybachkova J. V.
Published: June 2023

The results and the degree of safety of various groups of hypoglycemic drugs are presented. The current work analyzes the safety of the use of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) agonists, dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (iDPP-4) inhibitors, insulins, and inhibitors of sodium glucose cotransporter type 2 (iSGLT-2) according to clinical studies published in the scientific literature. Macrovascular complications in diabetes mellitus (DM) develop much earlier than microvascular complications and are the cause of death in 75–80% of patients. The safety of ongoing hypoglycemic therapy is based on the stabilization of its cardiovascular effect. GLP type 1 receptor agonists (lixisenatide) and DPP-4 idiopathic agonists (alogliptin) demonstrated a positive effect on the prognosis of patients with cardiovascular diseases. In addition to metformin, selective sodium-glucose cotransporter type 2 inhibitors, in particular empagliflozin and GLP type 1 analogs, act as first-line drugs from the position of cardiovascular safety in the treatment of patients with type 2 diabetes with a very high cardiovascular risk (liraglutide). The action of iSGLT-2 is glucose-dependent, which leads to a lower risk of hypoglycemia and, accordingly, cardiovascular safety for this class of drugs. Empagliflozin prevents the progression of cardiovascular disease in patients with type 2 diabetes, with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction, regardless of the presence of diabetes, providing a holistic approach to the management of patients with a cardiac profile.

Published: June 2023

Atualmente mais de 50% da procura pelo tratamento ortodôntico é da população adulta. Como a estética se tornou parte inerente do ser humano, e com o passar do tempo essa exigência se torna mais necessária, surgiu a ortodontia lingual, que como a mais recente categoria de terapêutica, consegue fundir as duas áreas. O paciente pode corrigir seus problemas ortodônticos e, durante as fases de tratamento, verificar com clareza o seu avanço. Pode, concomitantemente, fazer tratamentos estéticos variados, sem prejudicar o andamento ortodôntico. Nas etapas subsequentes deste trabalho foram abordados o surgimento, a evolução e as novas tecnologias virtuais, diferenças biomecânicas e a seleção dos pacientes, incluindo as diversas vantagens e desvantagens, provando ser esta a mais nova e sólida opção de tratamento odontológico tão eficiente quanto o tradicional e,em algumas patologias até superior, pela ação da biomecânica. Não tem o intuito de substituir a ortodontia tradicional, mas que o paciente conseguiu enfim, um aparelho que possibilitasse estética total e conforto para a prática desportiva, no entanto, com custo ainda elevado se comparado com os padrões de tratamento tradicional.

Published: June 2023

This comparative study aims to assess the differences in the third eyelid gland and cartilage morphology and histology between dogs (Canis lupus familiaris) and cats (Felis catus). Twenty nictitans membranes were collected from 20 adult dogs and 20 adult cats. The nictitans membranes were dissected to examine the structure, shape, and positions of the nictitans gland and cartilage. Histologically, the samples were fixed in 10% neutral buffer formalin and then prepared for H&E stains. Generally, in both species, the cartilage consists of a long, slender body, and pigmented large dorsal and small ventral wings. The cartilage had a curving shape that resembled the eyeball's curvature and had two surfaces; palpebral and corneal or bulbar surface. At the basal end of the corneal surface, there are several lymph nodes aggregates. In the dogs, the nictitans cartilage was longer and slenderer than in the cats. The body of the cartilage was wrapped by a spherical and light pink nictitans gland in the dogs while the cats had oval nictitans gland. Microscopically, the nictitans gland in the dogs was composed of a compound tubuloacinar gland whereas; in cats, it was composed of a compound acinar gland. There was no difference histologically in the intralobular and the interlobar septa between species, the isogenous group of chondrocytes was higher in cats Vs. the dogs that showed few in number. In conclusion, the nictitans gland and cartilage were varied in their anatomical and histological structure. This should help researchers make preparations to prevent negative impacts and could help them investigate changes made more pronounced by disease conditions.

Language as a determinant of the formation of thinking’ ways
Authors: SOTNIKOV Serhiy
Published: June 2023

The article analyzes the main types of thinking characteristic of modern man and society in general. An analysis of spatial thinking as a mental activity of a person is proposed and carried out. The definition of “cosmic thinking” is introduced, the process of its formation and features are characterized. Qualified thinking operations and the main functional functions provided by them. Synthesis and analysis are characterized as the main mechanisms of human cognitive activity. It is illustrated that both man and society operate with the word as the main unit of speech and the main unit of thinking, which participates in operations of synthesis and analysis of both the development of speech and the systematization of language. A word as a unit of objective language, on the one hand, has a conditional meaning and enters into conditional relationships with other words, reflecting the patterns of relationships that exist in language, and on the other hand, as a unit of subjective language, it contributes to the expression of the author’s principle and has an individual content that reflects the vision of the world by a specific person. Logical operations of synthesis and analysis, which are the main ways of thinking, contribute to the formation of a linguistic personality and the formation of a linguistic structure in the thinking of an individual, form regular and reproduce conditional connections between linguistic units, verify the acquired linguistic experience, and also determine historical procedural changes in the linguistic system . Bidirectionality (implementation of processes of synthesis and analysis) of human thinking provides the most complete reflection of reality in language through the verbalization of the main phenomena and processes of the surrounding world, concepts and categories of thinking. As a result, language as a phenomenon of human activity is capable of expressing all human concepts and thoughts, being a universal and at the same time unique way of communication of the biological species homo sapiens.

Factors affecting students’ use of a data-free instant messenger for on-line peer tutoring: a large, undergraduate class at a historically disadvantaged university
Authors: Petersen Fazlyn
Published: June 2023

There is a need for synchronous and inclusive online peer tutoring in large, undergraduate classes. As a lack of data or internet connectivity may limit online peer tutoring, the use of a data-free instant messenger was implemented for online tutoring in a class of 342 students. The Moya application allows students to chat and send voice notes to tutors and peers without using data. Sending attachments incurs data costs but the amount of data is displayed prior to downloading. The qualitative interpretivist case study used data collected from purposive sampling via an online survey. Consent was received from 252 third-year Information Systems students at a historically disadvantaged university. Qualitative data were analysed via thematic content analysis using the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology 2 model as a theoretical basis. Findings indicate that the majority of students (85.7%) did not use the data-free Moya instant messenger. Reasons for the low usage included a negative performance expectancy, as students did not see the benefit in using the application to engage with peers or tutors. Perceived effort expectancy was low, as students did not desire to learn to use a new application. Results showed that using WhatsApp was a habit. Moreover, social influence was a factor, as fellow students and tutors were also using WhatsApp. Students recommended increasing awareness of the Moya application and providing training. The price value was expected to be a significant factor as this application does not require data, but this was not the case. Facilitating conditions show that students had data for WhatsApp. Moya has the same interface design as the preferred WhatsApp so learning to use the application should require minimal effort. The unexpected findings indicate that students prefer WhatsApp, an instant messenger that requires data, over a data-free instant messenger. The findings leave lecturers questioning whether using WhatsApp for online peer tutoring is the more viable option.

For a long time, due to the limitations of traditional financial institutions and small and medium-sized enterprises, most SMEs have not been able to obtain sufficient development funds. The main reason is the information asymmetry between financial institutions and enterprises, as well as limited fundraising channels for SMEs. In recent years, blockchain technology has become a global hotspot due to its characteristics of decentralization, transparency, anonymization, and traceability mechanisms. It is considered to be the core digital technology of the next-generation technological revolution and has great development potential. A literature review is employed in this article to list the technical architecture of the blockchain technology, introduces the meaning and characteristics of the blockchain technology, analyses how the blockchain technology fundamentally eliminates the problem of information asymmetry from the technical level, checks the existing proposals for SMEs to apply the blockchain technology for fundraising. Based on the evaluation of existing approaches, with a combination of exploratory and descriptive research methods, this article proposes of building a comprehensive solution to find the path for SMEs to conveniently raise funds applying the blockchain technology.

Exploiting broad- and narrowband images of the Hubble Space Telescope from the near-UV to I-band rest frame, we study the star-forming clumps of six galaxies of the GASP sample undergoing strong ram pressure stripping. Clumps are detected in Hα and near-UV, tracing star formation on different timescales. We consider clumps located in galaxy disks and stripped tails and formed in stripped gas but still close to the disk, called extraplanar. We detect 2406 Hα-selected clumps (1708 in disks, 375 in extraplanar regions, and 323 in tails) and 3745 UV-selected clumps (2021 disk, 825 extraplanar, and 899 tail clumps). Only ∼15% of star-forming clumps are spatially resolved, meaning that most are smaller than ∼140 pc. We study the luminosity and size distribution functions (LDFs and SDFs, respectively) and the luminosity–size relation. The average LDF slope is 1.79 ± 0.09, while the average SDF slope is 3.1 ± 0.5. The results suggest that the star formation is turbulence-driven and scale-free, as in main-sequence galaxies. All of the clumps, whether they are in the disks or tails, have an enhanced Hα luminosity at a given size, compared to the clumps in main-sequence galaxies. Indeed, their Hα luminosity is closer to that of clumps in starburst galaxies, indicating that ram pressure is able to enhance the luminosity. No striking differences are found among disk and tail clumps, suggesting that the different environments in which they are embedded play a minor role in influencing the star formation.

A black hole (BH) traveling through a uniform, gaseous medium is described by Bondi–Hoyle–Lyttleton (BHL) accretion. If the medium is magnetized, then the black hole can produce relativistic outflows. We performed the first 3D, general-relativistic magnetohydrodynamic simulations of BHL accretion onto rapidly rotating black holes using the H-AMR code, where we mainly varied the strength of a background magnetic field that threads the medium. We found that the ensuing accretion continuously drags the magnetic flux to the BH, which accumulates near the event horizon until it becomes dynamically important. Depending on the strength of the background magnetic field, the BHs can sometimes launch relativistic jets with high enough power to drill out of the inner accretion flow, become bent by the headwind, and escape to large distances. For stronger background magnetic fields, the jets are continuously powered, while at weaker field strengths they are intermittent, turning on and off depending on the fluctuating gas and magnetic flux distributions near the event horizon. We find that our jets reach extremely high efficiencies of ∼100%–300%, even in the absence of an accretion disk. We also calculated the drag forces exerted by the gas onto to the BH and found that the presence of magnetic fields causes the drag forces to be much less efficient than in unmagnetized BHL accretion. They can even sometimes become negative, accelerating the BH rather than slowing it down. Our results extend classical BHL accretion to rotating BHs moving through magnetized media, and demonstrate that accretion and drag are significantly altered in this environment.

A significant challenge in radiative transfer theory for atmospheres of exoplanets and brown dwarfs is the derivation of computationally efficient methods that have adequate fidelity to more precise, numerically demanding solutions. In this work, we extend the capability of the first open-source radiative transfer model for computing the reflected light of exoplanets at any phase geometry, PICASO (Planetary Intensity Code for Atmospheric Spectroscopy Observations). Until now, PICASO has implemented two-stream approaches to the solving the radiative transfer equation for reflected light, in particular following the derivations of Toon et al. In order to improve the model accuracy, we have considered higher-order approximations of the phase functions; namely, we have increased the order of approximation from two to four, using spherical harmonics. The spherical harmonics approximation decouples spatial and directional dependencies by expanding the intensity and phase function into a series of spherical harmonics, or Legendre polynomials, allowing for analytical solutions for low-order approximations to optimize computational efficiency. We rigorously derive the spherical harmonics method for reflected light and benchmark the four-term method (SH4) against Toon et al. and two independent and higher-fidelity methods (CDISORT and doubling method). On average, the SH4 method provides an order-of-magnitude increase in accuracy, compared to Toon et al. Finally, we implement SH4 within PICASO and observe only a modest increase in computational time, compared to two-stream methods (20% increase).
