Humans are created with various potentials that exist within themselves. Humans have a unique diversity and all humans are perfect in their own way. This does not mean that someone who has a handicap or disorder is an imperfect human being. In everyday life, people with special needs have the same rights as other humans. Characteristics and types of special needs are different, one of which is social and emotional behavior disorders. By reviewing more deeply the characteristics of children with special needs (ABK) with mental retardation, so that they are able to give more attention to them. Based on the literature, it can be interpreted that not all naughty children are evil. Before giving them a negative label, they should be able to identify what makes their behavior different from the others. The provision of services and guidance on a regular basis both in the school, home, and community environment will further direct the mentally retarded crew to be better. One of the guidance models in this mentally retarded ABK is to provide Islamic education and inclusive education so that they can return to real human nature.

The Human Brain contains neuron and non-neuron cells, aberrant and uncontrolled proliferation of these cells implies tumours. To get images of the human brain for the radiologist’s study and classification of the tumour that is present, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is used. The detection of the Tumors in brain by the radiologist with MR Imaging is careful and time consuming process. For the purpose of performing tumour removal operations, an Artificial Neural Network makes it easier to automatically detect, segment, classify, and extract the tumour region. In this study, we proposed a Local Linear Wavelet Artificial Neural Network-based Automated Tumor Detection System with Hybrid Optimization, which can automatically detect human brain tumours using ANN. It consists of an MRI dataset, preprocessing, segmentation, Box bounding, GLCM-LBP feature extraction, Hybrid firefly optimization, Local

Published: March 2023

The objective: to study morphological changes in tissues after implantation of a bioresorbable material synthesized on the basis of polylactide (PLA) and polycaprolactone (PCL) in various ratios.

Subjects and Methods. Laboratory animals Chinchilla lanigera (n = 12) underwent intrapleural implantation with 2% PLA/PCL 1/1 and 4% PLA/PCL 1/3 materials. Morphometric assessment was carried out in14 and 28 weeks, the animals were withdrawn from the experiment by an anesthetic overdosing.

Results. When studying tissues adjacent to the implant regardless of differences in its composition, similar morphological signs were observed. A fibrous capsule formed around the implants, and it was more pronounced in 4% of PLA/PCL 1/3. In the structure of the implants, we noted the growth of loose and dense unformed fibrous connective tissue with blood vessels with a significant replacement of the bioresorbable polymer material (by 2/3). Lymphocytes, plasma cells, single macrophages, and multinucleated cells were predominantly located at the implant/tissue interface. In all studied samples, no necrosis was observed in the implantation bed and surrounding tissue.

Conclusion. The data obtained confirm the biosafety of biomaterials and demonstrate the potential for their use in surgical treatment of humans.

The objective: to study the efficacy of tuberculosis preventive chemotherapy in HIV infected patients based on the data of AIDS Prevention and Control Center, which is a part of City Infectious Clinical Hospital no. 1, Novosibirsk.

Subjects and Methods. 236 HIV infected patients aged 33-48 years old were enrolled in the study, they all were registered in AIDS Prevention and Control Center, City Infectious Clinical Hospital no. 1, Novosibirsk. All patients were at the stage of secondary diseases (4A, 4B, 4C), and had a pronounced degree of immunodeficiency (CD4+ from 200 to 349 cells/µl), and the ongoing ART was virologically successful. The efficacy of tuberculosis preventive chemotherapy (CTX) was analyzed in 147 patients versus 89 patients who received no tuberculosis CTX due to various reasons. For tuberculosis preventive chemotherapy, a combination drug was used, which contained isoniazid and pyrazinamide, for 3 months with daily intake. The groups of those receiving and not receiving CTX were comparable in terms of the gender, age and degree of immunodeficiency.

Results. In the group receiving CTX within a year after completion of CTX, tuberculosis was diagnosed in 7/147 (4.8%) patients including: focal pulmonary tuberculosis - in 71.4% (5/7), and infiltrative pulmonary tuberculosis - in 28.6% (2/7 patients). In the group receiving no CTX, during the year, 17/89 (19.1%) tuberculosis cases were detected: focal pulmonary tuberculosis – in 29.4% (5/17), infiltrative pulmonary tuberculosis - in 47.1% (8/17), and disseminated pulmonary tuberculosis - in 23.5% (4/17). Disseminated pulmonary tuberculosis was registered only in the group who received no CTX. The relative risk (RR = 0.442 (<1)) when comparing the number of cases in the groups indicates lower likelihood to develop tuberculosis in the patients taking CTX. The odds ratio (OR = 0.212; CI 0.084-0.534) indicates that the chances of developing tuberculosis are higher in the group receiving no CTX.

Conclusion. The use of a combination of isoniazid and pyrazinamide for tuberculosis preventive chemotherapy in HIV infected patients significantly reduces the risk of developing tuberculosis. Patients with severe immunodeficiency who have contraindications to tuberculosis preventive chemotherapy should be followed up jointly with a phthisiologist, the follow-up should include computed tomography for early detection of tuberculosis signs in the lungs.
Percutaneous transluminal mitral valve commissurotomy Via Veno-Arterial loop method.
Authors: Zeb Shah , Ishaq Khan Muhammad , Hussain Ijaz
Published: March 2023

Background: Since its inception in 1984 by Inoue and colleagues, percutaneous trans venous mitral commissurotomy (PTMC) is the first line treatment option for severe mitral stenosis with favorable valve morphology. Critical mitral stenosis can however pose a challenge for balloon crossing to the left ventricle. Various techniques have been demonstrated to overcome this difficulty. We use a novel technique to cross mitral valve.

Case Presentation: We describe a case where critical stenosis of rheumatic mitral valve in a young lady which was not amenable to conventional PTMC procedure, was successfully performed via veno-arterial rail method.

Management & Results: After crossing the interatrial septum, mitral valve was tried to cross with the standard technique using Inoue balloon, but failed because the stenosis was very tight. So we have crossed mitral valve through exchanged length terumo wire which was snared in descending aorta and externalized through right femoral artery and then we were able to pass the balloon through the tight mitral valve and the procedure was completed without any complication. Post procedure the pressure gradient dropped to 4mmHg and the mitral valve area was recorded as 1.8cm 2 with 2D echo planimetry.

Conclusion: In difficult to cross MV during PTMC, the veno-arterial rail method can be used easily for a successful procedure.

Community Empowerment Program in Indonesia

Published: March 2023

Development is an effort to increase the dignity of those people who, in their condition, are unable to escape from the trap of poverty and underdevelopment. In the context of efforts to manifest the success of development in the Mamuju Regency, it is necessary to choose paradigms and strategies used as the basis for the development process. "Community welfare" is the ideal of all nations on earth; a condition where every citizen feels comfortable, peaceful, and happy and can fulfill their needs for clothing and housing. At its most basic level, a civilized person's welfare is their ability to meet their basic needs, such as getting enough food, clothing, a place to live, good health care, and an education. Human behavior is often less conducive to efforts to realize their welfare, both individually, in family, and the community, thus causing gaps in learning about their interests. In the context of society, "empowerment" means that people can work together for the good of the whole community. When most of the people in an organization are physically and mentally healthy, educated, strong, and creative, that organization has a high level of empowerment. But in addition to the physical values mentioned above, other values in society are also sources of empowerment. These include family values, cooperation, struggle, and diversity, which are unique to our community.

Authors: Mrvaljević Mirjana , Kojić Nenad , Mitić Nebojša
Published: March 2023

Financial reports represent the most efficient way to periodically present information on the company's operations to interested parties. The greatest responsibility for the quality of financial statements lies with the company's management and the persons in charge of compiling them. Presenting business results better than they are, the so-called make-up, by owners and managers, has led to many frauds and manipulations in the business of the company which found their expression in false financial reports. The loss of user confidence in the information presented in the financial statements has unforeseeable consequences for financial markets and the economy as a whole. A large number of examples of fraud and manipulation in financial statements indicate the importance of recognizing them and distinguishing them from technical and unintentional errors. In this paper, we strive to present the motives and goals of fraud and manipulation in financial statements, responsibility for the occurrence and shortcomings that led to embezzlement and abuse, and identify opportunities for their prevention and relativization.

Computer-Supported Assessment of Geometric Exploration Using Variation Theory
Authors: Luz Yael , Yerushalmy Michal
Published: March 2023

We report on an innovative design of algorithmic analysis that supports automatic online assessment of students’ exploration of geometry propositions in a dynamic geometry environment. We hypothesized that difficulties with and misuse of terms or logic in conjectures are rooted in the early exploration stages of inquiry. We developed a generic activity format for if–then propositions and implemented the activity on a platform that collects and analyzes students’ work. Finally, we searched for ways to use variation theory to analyze ninth-grade students’ recorded work. We scored and classified data and found correlation between patterns in exploration stages and the conjectures students generated. We demonstrate how automatic identification of mistakes in the early stages is later reflected in the quality of conjectures.
Building Mathematics Professional Development With an Explicit Attention to Concepts and Student Opportunities to Struggle Framework
Authors: Hughes Gwyneth , Carney Michele B. , Champion Joe , Yundt Lindsey
Published: March 2023

Two broad categories of instructional practices, (a) explicitly attending to concepts and (b) fostering students’ opportunities to struggle, have been consistently linked to improving students’ mathematical learning and achievement. In this article, we describe an effort to build these practices into a framework that is useful for a diverse set of professional development (PD) offerings. We describe three examples of how the framework is used to support teacher learning and classroom instructional practice: a state-mandated course, lesson studies, and a large-scale teacher–researcher alliance. Initial findings suggest that consistently emphasizing this framework provides both content and structural guidance during PD development and gives coherence and focus to teachers’ PD experiences.

Diálogo entre a máquina de lavar e o vestuário
Authors: Santos Aguinaldo dos
Published: March 2023

Vestuário inteligente pode ser definido como aquele que auxilia o usuário a compreender, refletir, planejar e resolver problemas ao longo de todo o ciclo de vida.Uma das manifestações desta inteligência é a capacidade do vestuário de comunicar informações úteis para o usuário, de forma direta ou através dos artefatos no seu entorno. No caso da máquina de lavar roupa este “diálogo” é praticamente inexistente nas soluções observadas nos estudos de campo realizados pelo autor, configurando-se como barreira para avanços mais profundos da sustentabilidade na moda. Concluiu-se quanto à necessidade de integração de eco-feedback voltados à máquina de lavar roupa e, também, de “memória” do consumo de água/energia no vestuário. Estas informações podem contribuir para a mudança de comportamento do usuário na direção de padrões mais sustentáveis de lavagem de roupa e, muito importante, aperfeiçoamento dos critérios para compra e venda do vestuário, seja este novo ou usado.

Le bonheur d’enseigner est-il enseignable ? Réflexions et propositions issues de la formation à l’enseignement en Suisse Romande
Authors: Bressoud Nicolas
Published: March 2023

La formation des enseignants peut se donner les moyens d’accueillir une sensibilisation au bonheur d’enseigner. L’enjeu est de taille, en un contexte d’éducation inclusive qui demande aux professionnels une implication entière dans la prise en compte de la diversité des élèves dont ils ont la charge. À travers le modèle PERMA développé au sein du champ de la psychologie positive par Martin Seligman (2011), une formation des enseignants au bonheur paraît possible. Si le modèle PERMA (acronyme se référant aux émotions positives, à l’engagement, aux relations positives, au sens et à l’accomplissement) permet d’identifier des déterminants à prendre en compte dans cet apprentissage, il permet également de mettre en lumière le rôle fondamental de la relation entre l’enseignant et l’élève. C’est à travers les relations qui caractérisent le climat de classe que l’enseignant peut ancrer et cultiver, pour lui et pour ses élèves, le bonheur d’être ensemble, de vivre un projet scolaire partagé, de progresser vers un but commun. Ainsi, la formation des enseignants peut se donner les moyens de favoriser l’émergence de compétences socio-émotionnelles propices au bonheur d’enseigner. Elle pourra offrir aux futurs professionnels des occasions de vivre des programmes d’intervention de psychologie positive tout en soutenant des réflexions sur le développement de leur identité professionnelle (pratique réflexive). Les pratiques de gratitude, les activités sur la régulation émotionnelle ou encore les méthodes de reconnaissance et d’utilisation des forces personnelles sont des leviers en ce sens qui touchent à la relation à soi et à l’autre.

Le bien-être à apprendre et à faire apprendre est une question de fond qui peut se poser pour les professeurs des écoles. Qu’en est-il de ce questionnement du bien-être pour les enseignants. Nous analyserons les mémoires des étudiants de 2016 à 2021 afin de mettre en relief les spécificités d’appropriation de cette question du bien-être pour les futurs professeurs des écoles. Nous comparerons l’avant crise sanitaire aux recherches menées durant cette crise. Par la méthodologie de l’analyse texto-métrique des mémoires et par l’analyse des éléments contre-transférentiel de l’enseignant-chercheur, nous chercherons à préciser les points de blocages et les zones aveugles liés aux angoisses autour de cette notion du bien-être à apprendre et à faire apprendre.
The low-dose ozone concept and its pharmacology in prevention and convalescence.
Authors: Viebahn-Haensler Renate
Published: March 2023

Systemically administered ozone with its mild oxidative eustress, able to upregulate antioxidative enzymes and to modulate the immune response e.g.
“cytokine storm” is recommended as part of a complementary treatment concept in chronic inflammatory, long lasting processes with high oxidative stress and in diseases which are accompanied by an redox imbalance, rather than in the acute stages. To restore the glutathione equilibrium GSH/ GSSG the low-dose ozone concept offers a strategy in redox medicine as shown here in primary and secondary prevention and convalescence.
To illustrate the main pharmacological effects and to follow the treatment success we focus to the following refence substances: GSH (reduced glutathione), GGT (gamma glutamyl transferase) or SOD (superoxide dismutase) as protection markers and one or two parameters of stress markers: MDA (malondialdehyde).
Especially liver and kidneys are prevented from oxidative stress, regularly GSH increases, MDA decreases. In post acute inflammations (convalescence) we find the same biochemical mechanisms, summarized in virus diseases and diabetic angiopathy.
The Image of the Sevastopol Garrison and the Russian Army during the Crimean War in the Works of English-Speaking Authors (1970-2020)
Authors: Ilyichev Anton Vladimirovich
Published: March 2023

The article examines the image of the Sevastopol garrison and the Russian army during the Crimean War in the works of English-speaking authors. The aim of the study is to reveal the main trends in the consecration of the events of the Crimean (Eastern) War in the studies of American and British researchers. Due to the current situation related to restrictions on the part of foreign publishers, it was not possible to consider a number of works published in the period from 1970 to 2020. The subject of the study is the works of English-speaking authors devoted to the history of the Crimean War (1853-1856). The object of the research is the narrative created by English-speaking authors around the Russian army and the garrison of Sevastopol during the First defense of the city.  Based on the research that was found in the public domain, the author comes to the conclusion that the dominant trend in the English-language literature on the Crimean War is to consider events from the point of view of exclusively British or Allied retrospect. At the same time, due attention is either not paid to the Russian side at all or it represents a brief dry squeeze. The emphasis on battlefields, on problems of supply and training of the Allied army command staff, on weather conditions takes the defense of Sevastopol and its importance into the background. Statements and assessments that are openly Russophobic in nature are not as widely presented as in studies on the Second World War.

Published: March 2023

The research on Intrusion Detection Systems (IDSs) have been increasing in recent years. Particularly, the research which are widely utilizing machine learning concepts, and it is proven that these concepts were effective with IDSs, particularly, deep neural network-based models enhanced the rate of detections of IDSs. At the same instance, the models are turning out to be very highly complex, users are unable to track down the explanations for the decisions made which indicates the necessity of identifying the explanations behind those decisions to ensure the interpretability of the framed model. In this aspect, the article deals with the proposed model that able to explain the obtained predictions. The proposed framework is a combination of a conventional intrusion detection system with the aid of a deep neural network and interpretability of the model predictions. The proposed model utilizes Shapley Additive Explanations (SHAP) that mixes with the local explainability as well as the global explainability for the enhancement of interpretations in the case of intrusion detection systems. The proposed model was implemented using the popular dataset, NSL-KDD, and the performance of the framework evaluated using accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score. The accuracy of the framework is achieved by about 99.99%. The proposed framework able to identify the top 4 features using local explainability and the top 20 features using global explainability.

Recently, blockchain technology has garnered support. However, an attenuating factor to its global adoption in certain use cases is privacy-preservation owing to its inherent transparency. A widely explored cryptographic option to address this challenge has been ring signature which aside its privacy guarantee must be double spending resistant. In this paper, we identify and prove a catastrophic flaw for double-spending attack in a Lightweight Ring Signature scheme and proceed to construct a new, fortified commitment scheme using the signer’s entire private key. Subsequently, we compute a stronger key image to yield a double-spending-resistant signature scheme solidly backed by formal proof. Inherent in our solution is a novel, zero-knowledge-based, secured and cost-effective smart contract for public key aggregation. We test our solution on a private blockchain as well as Kovan testnet along with performance analysis attesting to efficiency and usability and make the code publicly available on GitHub.
Cellular compartmentalisation and receptor promiscuity as a strategy for accurate and robust inference of position during morphogenesis

Precise spatial patterning of cell fate during morphogenesis requires accurate inference of cellular position. In making such inferences from morphogen profiles, cells must contend with inherent stochasticity in morphogen production, transport, sensing and signalling. Motivated by the multitude of signalling mechanisms in various developmental contexts, we show how cells may utilise multiple tiers of processing (compartmentalisation) and parallel branches (multiple receptor types), together with feedback control, to bring about fidelity in morphogenetic decoding of their positions within a developing tissue. By simultaneously deploying specific and nonspecific receptors, cells achieve a more accurate and robust inference. We explore these ideas in the patterning of Drosophila melanogaster wing imaginal disc by Wingless morphogen signalling, where multiple endocytic pathways participate in decoding the morphogen gradient. The geometry of the inference landscape in the high dimensional space of parameters provides a measure for robustness and delineates stiff and sloppy directions. This distributed information processing at the scale of the cell highlights how local cell autonomous control facilitates global tissue scale design.

Many cases of blindness are caused by age-related cataracts (ARCs). N6-methyladenosine (m6A)-modified circRNA widely participates in disease progression. However, the role of m6A modification of circRNA in ARC is unclear. We mined and elucidated the functions and mechanisms of key circRNAs with m6A modification involved in ARC progression. The GSE153722 dataset was used to mine m6A-mediated key circRNA. Loss-of-function assays and rescue assays were used to explore the effect and mechanism of circRNA on ARC cell proliferation and apoptosis. Has_circ_0007905 was a hypermethylated and upregulated expression in the ARC group relative to the control group both in vivo and in vitro. Silencing of has_circ_0007905 promoted proliferation and inhibited the apoptosis of HLE-B3 cells. METTL3 was upregulated in HLE-B3 cells after ARC modeling and had four binding sites with has_circ_0007905 and a mediated m6A modification of has_circ_0007905. Proliferation was significantly inhibited and apoptosis of HLE-B3 cells was facilitated by METTL3 overexpression, whereas these effects were prevented by has_circ_0007905 silencing. Silencing of has_circ_0007905 led to an alteration in the transcriptome landscape. Differentially expressed genes were mainly involved in immune-related processes and pathways. EIF4EBP1 overexpression promoted apoptosis and suppressed proliferation, and also significantly reversed effects of has_circ_0007905 silencing. Moreover, miR-6749-3p significantly decreased the luciferase activities of wild type plasmids with both of has_circ_0007905 and EIF4EBP1. MiR-6749-3p inhibitor blocked elevation in proliferation and reduced EIF4EBP1 expression and apoptosis conferred by has_circ_0007905 silencing. We reveal for the first time that the commitment of ARC progression is guided by METTL3/has_circ_0007905/miR-6749-3p/EIF4EBP1 axis, and the results provide new insights into ARC pathology.

Published: March 2023

Camouflage treatment in borderline Class III patients, especially those who refuse a surgical line of treatment, remains a challenge to the orthodontists. Such patients were usually treated using Class III elastics and lower premolar extractions. Mandibular arch distalisation is an alternative option for non extraction Class III camouflage. Temporary Anchorage Devices (TADs) help in achieving effective mandibular molar distalisation and are more accepted by adult patients. This case report discusses the diagnosis and management of two different presentations of borderline skeletal Class III malocclusion treated with miniscrew assisted mandibular arch distalisation. Two adult female patients between 18-20 years of age presented with a skeletal Class III malocclusion, average growth pattern, super Class I molar relationship and straight facial profile. The patients did not agree for a surgical line of treatment. Camouflage treatment by distalisation of mandibular arch using buccal miniscrew implants was done. Inter-radicular miniscrews were placed between mandibular second premolar and first molar to apply distalisation force of 250 gm/side. Lower arch distalisation of 2-3 mm was achieved in an average of 4.6 months. The outcomes were well retained 3 years post-treatment.

Objectives: Mortality and morbidity rate of low-birth-weight babies are major public health concerns worldwide. The main objective of this study was to determine the associated factors that are related to low birth weight.

Methods: A comparative cross-sectional study was carried out from January 2021 to December 2021 among 208 mothers who delivered babies in two tertiary level hospitals in Dhaka city. Data were collected by using a pretested semi-structured interview-guided questionnaire and analyzed by SPSS 23 version software. 

Results: Significant associations were found between the low birth weight and some factors: babies delivered in rural areas (p=0.021), less educated mothers (p=0.018), and mothers having a low monthly income (p=0.007). Moreover, birth weight of the neonates was significantly associated with the number of antenatal visits (p=0.016) and intake of nutritional supplements by the mothers in last pregnancy (p=0.000). The mothers who took nutritional supplements in their last pregnancy had a lower proportion to deliver LBW (40%) that were significantly associated with nutritional status and birth weight (p=0.000). The mothers having low BMI had a higher rate of delivering LBW neonates (75%). A significant positive correlation was found between BMI of the mother and birth weight of the index child (r=0.243, p<0.001).

Conclusion: These study findings will guide us in paying special attention to the associated risk factors of low birth weight that will assist to formulate an intervention to prevent LBW by improving antenatal care and overall maternal health.
