Adsorption Behavior and Mechanism of Brilliant Green Dye onto Acid-modified Mesoporous Volcanic Pumice
Authors: Sawasdee Suchada , Watcharabundit Prachart
Published: September 2024

Water pollution is a major problem in the environment. The important one is the dying effluent from the textile industry. Dye effluent has affected human health and aquatic life. Recently, natural adsorbents have been most commonly used for dye treatment wastewater. This study explores the adsorption mechanism of brilliant green onto HCl-modified pumice. It involves a comparative analysis of the raw and HCl-modified pumice's characterization and adsorption properties. The adsorption experiments were carried out by considering several parameters, such as pH, contact time, initial dye concentrations, and temperatures. The research indicated that the raw and acid-treated pumice possess Si-OH and Si-O-Si groups. These pumice adsorbents are classified as mesoporous, exhibiting BJH pore diameters of 3.23 nm for the raw form and 3.69 nm for the acid-modified variant. The adsorption data revealed that the uptake of brilliant green dye was maximal at a pH of 8. The equilibrium results closely matched the Langmuir isotherm model. The maximum adsorption capacities were 37.13, 40.17, and 42.73 mg g-1 for the raw pumice, and 46.72, 51.81, and 56.17 mg g-1 for the modified pumice at 20, 30, and 40 °C, respectively. Furthermore, the removal efficiency of brilliant green dye with modified pumice was 91.93%, 95.29%, and 96.27% at 20°C, 30°C, and 40°C, respectively. The pseudo-second-order model was the most suitable for elucidating the kinetic adsorption data. The thermodynamic analysis revealed that the adsorption process was endothermic, spontaneous, and physical. Dipole-dipole H-bonding interaction, Yoshida H-bonding, electrostatic interaction, n-𝝅 interaction, cation exchange, and pore filling were all engaged in its process. Consequently, the local pumice volcanic rock became a great, cheap, abundant, and environmentally friendly adsorbent for removing dyes from effluents.
Spatiotemporal Patterns of Land Surface Temperature, Urban Heat Island, and Potential Heat Stress Risk Areas Assessment for Tropical Inland City and Coastal City in Thailand
Authors: Aung Thar Htet , Tongleamnak Sakpod , Suwanwerakamtorn Rasamee
Published: September 2024

Global warming and rapid urban growth, compounded by the urban heat island (UHI) effect, are posing substantial challenges for urban populations and ecological well-being due to increased heat stress risks. This study aimed to analyze the spatiotemporal patterns of land surface temperature (LST), UHI, and potential heat stress risk areas (PHSRA) in two distinct cities, an inland city, Nakhon Ratchasima, and a coastal city, Si Racha, during the summer. Geoinformatics techniques and Crichton’s Risk Triangle method were employed, using updated demographic data and Sentinel-3 data from 2017 to 2022. The findings indicate that the inland city daytime average LST values were higher than in the coastal city, while the opposite was true at nighttime. Additionally, high daytime UHI patterns in the inland city were observed on the outskirts, and nighttime UHI concentrated in the urban center. The coastal city exhibited a strong daytime and nighttime UHI compared to the inland city, with daytime UHI peaking in the inner area and nighttime UHI near the coastline. The PHSRA was categorized into five risk levels (very high: > 0.8, high: 0.8–0.6, moderate: 0.6–0.4, low: 0.4–0.2 and very low: ≤ 0.2). During the daytime the highest risk areas, the high and very high levels of PHSRA in the inland city (23.84%) were greater than those in the coastal city (16.46%). Conversely, at nighttime, the coastal city (16.46%) exhibited higher levels than the inland city (5.26%). In nighttime conditions, all levels of PHSRA occurred more significantly than during the daytime in these cities. Understanding the spatiotemporal variations in PHSRA is vital for pinpointing places at risk of heat stress accidents in summer. This data is a goldmine for city planners and healthcare authorities, helping them plan interventions and effective measures for the future.
"Listen to the World". Musical Themes in Children's Literature as a Space for Knowledge Integration
Authors: Sławińska Małgorzata , Świder-Pióro Aneta
Published: September 2024

The authors of this article analyse contemporary children’s books containing a musical theme. Selected books were examined to determine their educational potential in promoting children’s ability to integrate associative knowledge of music. The following research questions were formulated: can the content and form of the studied works initiate the integration of children’s knowledge? What types of literary editing approaches promote knowledge integration? The study demonstrated that the analysed books can inspire educators to promote identity-building and the development of self-awareness, self-esteem, self-efficacy, and socio-cultural identity in children. They can provide students with the necessary tools for discovering their identity and true potential, becoming independent thinkers, formulating and expressing personal beliefs, and – above all – integrating their knowledge.
The Early Reading and Music partnership
Authors: Beveridge Lorraine (Lorri)
Published: September 2024

There is broad agreement, in relation to the high gravitas of ‘the big six’ in teaching early reading, the pillars of effective reading instruction (Moats, 1999; NRP, 2000; Konza, 2014). Notwithstanding, there exists a body of evidence that indicates the arts, in particular music, enhance and motivate other learning, helping young children to become readers. This suggests the explicit teaching of early reading and music together can yield powerful learning for students, the conflation of which improves and accelerates both reading and music mastery. This research investigates whether participation in music instruction has beneficial effects on young children’s learning and acquisition of early reading skills; specifically, if a link exists between early reading and music acquisition. There are three parts to this research: a) literature review; b) email surveys/ semi structured interviews; c) classroom observations.
Results suggest that music serves as a natural bridge to literacy, strengthening auditory processing, and scaffolding learning phonemes and graphemes. Music aids memory because the beat, melody and harmony carry semantic content, clarifying meaning. Children learn with less effort and remember information more easily when rhyme and rhythm are present. Nursery rhymes, poems and action songs engage children through playing with language, suggesting that a transdisciplinary pedagogical approach is a potential solution to challenges currently faced in education in relation to disengagement from traditional schooling and declining reading levels. An early reading and music partnership is an approach to learning that may benefit young learners along the road to becoming readers.
AN INTENSIVE LOCAL APPLICATION OF LENSEN’S ISALLO STRESS THEORY TO THE STURGEON LAKE SOUTH AREA OF ALBERTA
Authors: Lu Paul H. , Scheidegger Adrian E.
Published: September 2024

Isallo Stress maps of an area 24 by 24 miles in Central Alberta, Canada, were drawn to test Lensen’s theory. Two types of maps were drawn: one without and one with the a priori assumption of a principal horizontal stress (PHS) direction. It is shown that in either case, regions with incipient transcurrent faulting are preponderant over all others, a result which is in conformity with results from recent seismological investigations. The faulting patterns found are in full conformity with those that could be produced by the tectonic stresses which created the Rocky Mountains.
UPWARD AND DOWNWARD MIGRATIONS OF FLUIDS IN THE SUBSURFACE
Authors: Magara Kinji
Published: September 2024

Under normal conditions most compaction current after deposition would move upward out of shales, because porosity and permeability of shales tend to decrease downward. Where a thick permeable sandstone bed underlies the shales, however, some downward compaction current should occur within the shales that are close to this sandstone. Therefore the boundary zone or boundary surface between the zones of upward and downward fluid movement must exist in the lower middle part of the shales. The level of the boundary surface or the thicknesses of the zones of upward and downward movement is related to minimum permeability, viscosity of water and pressure distribution. These zones can be determined in a schematic example of shale-sandstone sequence where the deposition is very rapid, by using a method based on Athy’s porosity-depth curve as the relationship under the compaction equilibrium condition, and Kozeny’s porosity-permeability relation. The downward compaction current could, moreover, be more important than the upward, because the shales which produce the downward current perform the role of the cap rock to the underlying sandstone reservoir.

In order to estimate the amount of the downward compaction current, the thickness of the downward zone is related to the porosity decrease during compaction. Calculations based on this schematic shale-sandstone example indicate that the main downward compaction current would occur in the relatively early stages of the rapid sedimentation. Later, another main downward current would take place just before the shales reach the equilibrium condition of compaction.
MICROFLORA OF THE LOWER CRETACEOUS McMURRAY FORMATION, NORTHEAST ALBERTA
Authors: Vagvolgyi A. , Hills L. V.
Published: September 2024

One section of the Lower Cretaceous McMurray Formation and basal Clearwater Formation from the subsurface of northeast Alberta has been examined for its microfloral content. The recovered microfloral assemblage consists of 58 genera and 94 species of spores and pollen grains; one species of megaspore perispore; and 5 genera and 7 species of dinoflagellates. One species of Tsugae pollenites radiostriatus pollen is proposed as new.

The presence of Appendicisporites unicus, Plicatella trichacanthus var. dissectus, Cicatricosisporites perforatus, Contignisporites perplexus and Januasporites spiniferus indicate an Early to early Middle Albian age for the McMurray Formation in the type well.

The studied section has been subdivided into two zones: a lower zone containing only pollen and spores and an upper zone containing microplankton as well. The distribution of microplankton indicates a continental origin for most of the McMurray Formation except for the uppermost 21 ft (above 117 ft in the core) in which abundant microplankton make their appearance.

The distribution of palynomorphs within the core indicates a progressive decrease in species content upwards. This is interpreted as being the result of climatic changes brought about by the advancing Boreal Sea (Clearwater Formation deposits).
CLASSIFICATION OF ANHYDRITE — PRACTICAL APPROACH
Authors: Maiklem W. R. , Bebout D. G. , Glaister R. P.
Published: September 2024

The inconsistent usage of anhydrite terms in the past has pointed out the need to standardize terminology. To answer this need we have developed a practical anhydrite classification in which two basic properties are considered—structures and textures. The structural types are classified on the basis of four parameters: external form, anhydrite-to-matrix relationship, bedding, and distortion. The textural types are classified by size, shape, and spatial relationship of the crystals within the anhydrite masses. This anhydrite classification is believed to have world-wide applicability.
FLUID PRESSURE IN POROUS MEDIA — ITS IMPORTANCE IN GEOLOGY : A REVIEW
Authors: Gretener P. E.
Published: September 2024

An attempt is made to summarize the importance of the pore-fluid pressure in porous rocks. Normal versus abnormal fluid pressures are discussed. The causes of abnormal fluid pressures are described and the theretical upper limit of such pressures is reviewed. The significance of the pore-fluid pressure in terms of physical parameters such as the sonic velocity, the electrical resistivity and the mechanical behaviour is reviewed. Also discussed is the effect of the pore-fluid pressure on such phenomena as landslides, overthrusts, formation of open joints, sedimentary structures and pressure solution.
ANHYDRITE DIAGENESIS, CALCITIZATION, AND ORGANIC LAMINITES, WINNIPEGOSIS FORMATION, MIDDLE DEVONIAN, SASKATCHEWAN
Authors: Shearman D. J. , Fuller J. G.
Published: September 2024

A laminite deposit consisting of calcareous, dolomitic, and anhydritic layers interleaved with black organic material floors interior parts of the Middle Devonian Winnipegosis salt basin of western Canada.

Before compaction had affected it, part of the anhydritic laminite was diagenetically altered to coarsely crystalline calcite that enclosed the anhydrite and organic matter. This calcitized rock preserves features of the original sediment, and reveals that the laminar anhydrite had originally grown as anhydrite nodules in an organic substrate. In all essential respects, the crystal fabrics of the calcitized anhydrite nodules resemble those of Recent sabkha anhydrites, and the mode of growth was apparently identical.

Enterolithic structure resulted from buckling of sheets of coalesced nodules, and was caused by continued growth of the nodules within confining laminae.

Observed varieties of anhydrite fabric can be explained as products of compaction. The agency of pore-water pressure is important to the generation of flow fabrics. The range of anhydrite compaction-fabrics in general can be related to two matrix properties: compressibility and drainage.

The original sediment, before invasion by anhydrite or calcitization, resembled blue-green algal mat. Volumetrically, the organic material comprised a large fraction of the sediment even after anhydrite-nodule growth, though later compaction reduced it to black partings where it was not calcitized.

Stratigraphically, the presence of algal mat and nodular anhydrite on the basin floor implies nearly complete loss of water from the basin after Winnipegosis reef formation, and before halite accumulation supervened.
PALEOECOLOGY OF THE BEARPAW AND CONTIGUOUS UPPER CRETACEOUS FORMATIONS IN THE C.P.O.G. STRATHMORE WELL, SOUTHERN ALBERTA
Authors: Wall J. H. , Sweet A. R. , Hills L. V.
Published: September 2024

Foraminifera and megaspores are present through a cored section 1350 to 1760 ft in the C.P.O.G. Strathmore EV Well, which includes in descending order beds from the lower part of the Horseshoe Canyon Formation, a transitional interval, the Bearpaw Formation, and the uppermost part of the Belly River Group. Three distinct types of microfossil assemblages are recognizable: (1) inner-neritic shallow marine, (2) salt-marsh brackish marine, (3) continental.

The inner-neritic assemblage, consisting of a mixed agglutinated-calcareous foraminiferal fauna, is characteristic of much of the Bearpaw Formation, but recurs in the overlying Bearpaw - Horseshoe Canyon Formation transitional interval.

The salt-marsh assemblage, consisting mainly of thin-walled representatives of the agglutinated foraminiferal genera Miliammina, Ammomarginulina, Trochammina and Verneuilinoides, is recognized at the contact of the Bearpaw and the transitional interval and from two higher levels in the transition.

The continental assemblage, characterized in relative abundances of Azolla, Balmeisporites, Molaspora, Costatheca and Spermatites, is prominent in parts of the Belly River Group, transitional interval, and Horseshoe Canyon Formation. All these genera are markedly reduced in the salt-marsh brackish-marine and inner-neritic shallow-marine intervals.

Relative abundances of foraminifera and megaspores serve to reveal transgressive and regressive cycles near the western margin of the last widespread marine transgression in the Canadian western interior.
BUILDING INFORMATION MODELING: FINANCIAL AND ACCOUNTING ASPECT
Authors: POCHYNOK Nataliia , LUPIICHUK Anton
Published: September 2024

Introduction. The implementation of building information modeling (BIM) technology is a promising direction in the development of the construction enterprise management system. It is advisable to use BIM technology also for economic purposes, which requires the study of financial and accounting features of the construction process in the conditions of digitization of management.

The purpose of the article is to research the financial and accounting aspects of the use of building information modeling technology to optimize the management of construction enterprises.

Results. The possibility of positioning individual construction objects (premises, floors, spatial zones) by operational centers of responsibility under the conditions of using BIM technology, which is the basis for the formation of a cluster structure of accounting and management of construction enterprises, is substantiated. The cluster is proposed to recognize a differentiated building object, which is an operational center of responsibility, which is in close relationship with various functional centers of responsibility and other clusters. The importance of positioning centers of responsibility simultaneously as centers of investments, incomes and expenses in the conditions of using BIM technologies, which involves a positive transformation of the method of processing financial and accounting information, is proven. In order to expand the functionality of the software for BIM purposes, the perspective of its improvement has been substantiated in the direction of: predicting options for forming planned estimates of construction costs with the adjustment of normative and actual costs; expansion of non-capital construction accounting methods; developing a procedure for assessing the damage caused by military actions in order to plan the need for financial resources for the restoration of destroyed or damaged buildings. In order to organize an effective information exchange between the participants of the construction process, it is necessary to ensure information synchronization between software for BIM design, accounting and management software products, electronic systems of business communications and electronic government.

Conclusions. Expanding the functional and information capabilities of BIM technologies in terms of taking into account the financial and accounting aspects of construction, as well as ensuring information synchronization with current electronic services and document management systems, contributes to the formation of the newest concept of innovative smart construction.

Introduction. The article is devoted to the theoretical and conceptual ideas of I. Franko. A scientific study of the main paradigms in the works and publications of the famous Ukrainian scientist is carried out, namely in the field of functioning of the financial environment of society, information is provided from the standpoint of understanding the evolutionary nature of the formation of approaches to the interpretation of the historical development of financial science. In order to obtain proper scientific results in the study of Franko's scientific work, the main scientific methods were used, namely empirical ones – to reassess the macro-financial analysis of the budgetary sphere of Galicia of the XIX–XX centuries; theoretical – for the projection of the scientist's ideas on the modern theoretical and applied realities of the functioning of society; synthesis – to identify relevant concepts for improving the country's financial system; abstraction – to identify the key directions and warnings of the great Ukrainian thinker regarding the financial and political development of society; generalization – for the formation of timely authoritative proposals of I. Franko, which strengthen the financial paradigms of modern financial scientists working on research of the financial environment of society, and the formation of key proposals for improving its institutions in conditions of uncertainty.

The purpose of the article is to generalize the scientific heritage of I. Franko in order to reassess the main paradigms of the functioning of the modern financial system of Ukraine.

Results. The main ideas and debatable issues related to the functioning of the country's financial system on the territory of Galicia during the period of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, especially the budgetary sphere, the business environment and the financial capacity of individuals, are allocated. Ivan Franko's approach to the study of financial relations and detailing of financial analysis at all levels of the economic system has been updated, which allows us to assert a significant contribution of the scientist to the development of macro-financial analysis. The main problems identified by the scientist in his research are considered and his own scientific vision for the prospects and proper adaptation of scientific proposals is formed.

Conclusions. Based on the carried out research, the need to strengthen the role of higher education institutions, the mechanism for balancing budget revenues and expenditures and the financial and legal policy of social direction to strengthen the sovereignty of Ukraine and the development of its financial system is proposed and substantiated.

La libertas ecclesiae nel tardo medioevo
Authors: D'Acunto Nicolangelo
Published: September 2024

The author analyzes apostolic letters, conciliar decrees and canon law to highlight how, compared to the salient phase of monarchical affirmation between the 11th and 13th centuries - during which the libertas Ecclesiae could extend to unprecedented alliances such as the libertas Ytalie supported by the municipalities and was voted to the defense of the patrimonial and juridical interests of local ecclesiastical bodies in the coincidence of their libertas with the libertas Ecclesiae -, in the late Middle Ages pontifical action was concentrated more generally against the peripheral ecclesiastical bodies which, under the pretext of a traditional notion of freedom, escaped the control of the bishops and the Pope who claimed the preservation of ecclesiastical freedom.
Le libertà delle città dei regni. Mezzogiorno italiano ed Europa (secoli XIII-XV)
Authors: Terenzi Pierluigi
Published: September 2024

The relationship between cities and sovereigns in the kingdoms of southern Italy is investigated by the author from a European perspective, highlighting how libertas was equivalent to the submission of communities to monarchical power and the absence of lordly domination, making subjection the essential condition for obtain it or keep it under the guarantee of the sovereign; and how anti-monarchical revolts, both those connected with taxation and those intended to replace the dynasty, were bearers of a generic notion of freedom. The libertates of which the monarch was the guarantor were not only made up of the immunities and rights that contributed to defining the political space of the cities within the kingdom but founded the relationship of legitimation between the sovereigns and the city ruling groups that carried out public functions in his name.
Libertà e non conformismo religioso: alcune riflessioni a margine per i secoli XII-XIII
Authors: Gagliardi Isabella
Published: September 2024

The author revisits the issue of religious "non-conformism" by focusing attention on the passage, between the 12th and 13th centuries, in which the overlap between Christian heresies and other religions was determined. Compared to the conciliar and papal pronouncements regarding orthodoxy and heresy, the author favors the analysis of canon law to reconstruct the delimitations that delimited the space of dissent and repression: a coherent semantic development emerges, from a legal perspective, around the libertas religionis and libertas Ecclesiae and in relation to two other key words: tolerantia and iurisdictio. In this way the Church came to identify in the sacrament of baptism the unequivocal act of belonging to Christian society and the 'duty' repression of dissent.

Le dimensioni del vigilare
Authors: Palma Mauro
Published: September 2024

Sempre minore è il valore attribuito, da chi influenza il pensiero diffuso, all’inclusione, quale criterio per relazionarsi con una persona il cui comportamento manifesta crisi anche gravi. Si consolida l’idea dell’esclusione, della separatezza, della chiusura. Questa linea di intervento si riflette anche sulla detenzione penale accentuando l’anonimia delle persone ristrette, l’assenza di significato del loro tempo e la configurazione informe e muta degli spazi, affollati, a loro destinati. La vigilanza preventiva di un Garante dei diritti delle persone recluse deve partire dall’attenzione a questi aspetti.
Less and less is the value attributed by those who influence public opinion to inclusion, as a criterion for relating to a person whose behaviour manifests serious crises. The idea of ​​exclusion, separateness and closure is consolidated. This line of intervention is also reflected on criminal detention, emphasising the anonymity of the restricted persons, the absence of meaning of their time and the shapeless and mute configuration of the crowded spaces intended for them. The preventive supervision of a Guarantor of the rights of persons deprived of liberty must start from attention to these aspects.
Il difficile cammino del decentramento tra riforme, emergenze e resistenze. Alla ricerca di un “sistema delle autonomie territoriali"
Authors: Gardini Gianluca
Published: September 2024

In Italia, le riforme territoriali sono state troppo spesso “reattive”, ossia introdotte in risposta a fenomeni congiunturali, e parziali, ossia immaginate per un singolo livello di governo, in assenza di una visione organica e sistemica delle autonomie. Lo sguardo riformatore dovrebbe invece allargarsi, ed estendersi all’insieme degli enti territoriali: dai piccoli comuni, spesso inadeguati a gestire il complesso di funzioni amministrative che il principio di sussidiarietà riversa su di essi; all’area vasta, composta da enti dalla natura incerta, oggetto di continui ripensamenti e indicazioni contrastanti da parte del nostro legislatore; per arrivare alle Regioni, che in Italia non sono state in grado di assumere il ruolo di indirizzo politico del sistema locale assegnato loro dalla Costituzione, e sin dai primi anni di vita si sono comportate come grandi enti di gestione, come macro-comuni che entrano in competizione con gli enti locali minori. Ciò, tenendo in considerazione il grande cambiamento che il regionalismo differenziato si appresta a introdurre nell’organizzazione del Paese.
In Italy, territorial reforms have too often been "reactive", in the sense of introduced in response to economic events, and partial, in the sense of imagined for a single level of government, in the absence of an organic and systemic vision of autonomies. The reformist gaze should instead broaden and extend to all local authorities: from small municipalities, often inadequate to manage the complex of administrative functions that the principle of subsidiarity places on them; to the supra-municipal area, made up of entities of uncertain nature, subject to continuous rethinking and conflicting indications by our legislator; to get to the Regions, which in Italy have not been able to assume the role of political direction of the local system assigned to them by the Constitution, and since the first years of life have behaved like large management bodies, like macro-municipalities that enter in competition with smaller local authorities. This, taking into consideration the great change that asymmetric regionalism is preparing to introduce in the organization of the country.

Published: September 2024

One of aging-related changes in the testes in male is impairment of spermatogenic process that make spermatogonia, spermatocytes, and spermatids cells decreased which ultimately reduces fertility. There are many phytochemical compounds that are known to have anti-aging properties. One plant that is known to contain anti-aging compounds is the kersen or Jamaica cherry (Muntingia calabura L.). This study aims to reveal whether the phytochemicals in kersen leaf extract can restore the number of spermatogonia, primary spermatocytes, and spermatids, as well as the diameter and thickness of the seminiferous tubule epithelium in d-galactose-induced mice. There were 5 groups tested in this study. Group-1 was normal mice that were not induced and given the extract. Group-2 was a negative control where mice were induced with d-galactose but not treated. Groups 3, 4, and 5 were given 35, 70, and 105 mg/kg of cherry leaf extract, respectively. The results showed that kersen leaf extract was proven to be able to restore the number of spermatogonia cells, primary spermatocytes, and spermatids as well as restore the diameter and thickness of the seminiferous tubule epithelium. Thus, it can be concluded that kersen leaf extract has anti-aging properties in mice induced by d-galactose.
A Cross-Sectional Study of Serum Levels of Several Vitamins in Healthy and Unhealthy Periodontal Conditions
Authors: Ali Zahra K. , Aboud Eman Abbas , Hamza Ammar Abdul Sattar
Published: September 2024

Vitamins are examples of micronutrients, which are nutrients needed in very minute quantities. They're crucial to metabolism and keeping tissues working properly. The purpose of this study was to determine whether vitamin deficiencies are associated with an increased risk of periodontitis. There was a total of 110 participants: 55 with chronic periodontitis spread throughout the mouth and 55 periodontally healthy individuals. Clinical parameters that were assessed included: Clinical attachment loss (in millimetres) and gingival index (in millimetres). Vitamin B12, vitamin D, folate, as well as vitamin E levels in serum samples were measured. Also measured were Beta-carotene and Beta-cryptoxanthin levels. The acquired data was aggregated and analysed using statistical programmes. All periodontal status clinical measures in the periodontitis group were statistically significantly different from those in the healthy volunteers group (p < 0.0001). Vitamin A precursors Beta-carotene and Beta-cryptoxanthin, folate, D, vitamins B12, and E, and vitamin E were all significantly lower in the periodontitis group compared to the healthy volunteers, but the difference was only statistically significant for vitamins B12 as well as D (p < 0.05). Finally, we conclude that serum micronutrient levels, particularly those of Vitamin A, Vitamin B12, and Vitamin D, may be modifiable risk factors for periodontal disease. In addition to practicing good dental hygiene on a regular basis, eating a diet rich in the right kinds of vitamins may play a significant part in warding off periodontitis.

Published: September 2024

Urinary tract infection (UTI) is a very common Health problem in cats, The present study aimed to isolate and diagnose Escherichia coli causing UTIs cats in Babylon province. A total of 100 urine samples suspected of having UTIs from the age group of (2 months to 3 years) were collected from different veterinary clinics in Babylon province. 50 isolated to Escherichia coli were obtained in Babylon during the period from September 2023 to April 2024. The initial diagnosis of E. coli isolates was made using culture media (MacConkey agar, methylene blue eosin and blood agar). Biochemical tests and Vitek 2 device were used to confirm the final diagnosis of the isolates. The highest number of bacterial isolates was found in female cats, more infected than male cats, The sensitivity test was performed using the Vitek device, and the resistance was as follows: ampicillin (100%), cefazolin, trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (70%), piperacillin, cefoxitin, ceftriaxone, levofloxacin, ciprofloxacin (30%). The results of the study also showed absolute resistance to E. coli (ampicillin (100%) was the most resistant in cats as well as non-isolated resistance to piperacillin, ceftazidime, cefepime, amikacin, gentamicin, nitrofurantoin, and tigecycline. The ability to produce biofilm was revealed by two methods, the first is the standard plate method (MTB) and the second is the Congo red medium. the first method shown the Cat isolates (5 isolates were medium, 3 isolates were weak, and 2 isolates had no growth), As for the second method, all isolates appeared positive.

A profilaxia antibiótica desempenha um papel crucial na prevenção de infecções no sítio cirúrgico (ISC), que são complicações frequentes em cirurgias gerais. A administração adequada de antibióticos profiláticos reduz a carga bacteriana e evita complicações infecciosas, que podem prolongar o tempo de recuperação, aumentar os custos hospitalares e colocar em risco a segurança do paciente. Além disso, o uso racional desses medicamentos é essencial para prevenir o surgimento de resistência bacteriana, um problema crescente na medicina contemporânea. Este estudo realizou uma revisão de literatura baseada em artigos publicados entre 2013 e 2023, selecionados em bases de dados como PubMed, BVS, Scielo e Google Scholar. Os resultados confirmam que a antibioticoprofilaxia é eficaz na redução de ISC, especialmente quando antibióticos como as cefalosporinas de primeira geração são usados corretamente, em doses únicas e de acordo com as diretrizes de controle de infecções hospitalares. O uso criterioso e racional de antibióticos profiláticos não só previne complicações pós-operatórias, mas também reduz a incidência de resistência bacteriana.

Por meio de sua função extrafiscal, os tributos podem alterar comportamentos do mercado e colaborar com a adoção de um estilo de vida sustentável. Neste estudo, aborda-se a extrafiscalidade e sua capacidade de corrigir externalidades negativas do mercado, enquanto meio indireto de conformação de comportamentos. O objetivo geral é esclarecer qual seria a maneira mais eficiente de alcançar a eficácia da política pública tributária ambiental, a partir das falhas de regressividade e de repasse do custo da reforma tributária ao consumidor. Para tanto, aponta-se a necessidade de uma reforma fiscal verde e discute-se a escolha entre a tributação sobre a renda e o emprego da seletividade tributária. Com relação aos aspectos metodológicos, a abordagem é qualitativa; quanto aos objetivos, explicativa; sobre o método, predomina o raciocínio dialético. Acerca das técnicas, o estudo se pauta na análise bibliográfica e documental e é teórico, tendo em vista os instrumentos de coleta de dados escolhidos para desenvolvê-lo. Ademais, esta pesquisa é do tipo jurídico-projetivo e de vertente jurídico-sociológica. Conclui-se que a solução está na tributação direta sobre a renda do produtor, promovendo benefícios fiscais para aqueles que mantiverem suas emissões conforme os melhores padrões ambientais disponíveis.

The results were good with a gain of 21.66 Db. The patient was satisfied with no post operative complications.
PRIMARY TUBERCULAR OTITIS MEDIA PRESENTING AS BEZOLD’S ABSCESS WITH FACIAL NERVE PARALYSIS
Authors: Singh Akhil Pratap
Published: September 2024

Introduction: Tuberculosis of the middle ear cleft is a rare extra-pulmonary manifestation. Signs and symptoms of tuberculous otitis media are indistinguishable from that of non-tuberculous otitis media making early diagnosis difficult.
Material & Methods: Here we present 14 years old, case of malnourished male with a history of poor immunisation and contact TB in neighbourhood was admitted in our hospital in December 2023 with right ear otorrhea, hearing loss, fever with Bezold’s abscess post aurally and peripheral facial nerve paralysis.Ear Discharge was from childhood, the recent episode of fever with post aural swelling developed over 1 week. Examination of right ear showed copious amount of mucopus which was cleaned to visualise granulation tissue with retracted tympanic membrane
Conclusion: Tuberculosis should be suspected in all cases of chronic otitis media unresponsive to conventional treatment particularly in endemic areas. Histopathological examination and AFB staining of tissue removed during mastoid surgery are reliable diagnostic methods.
Keywords: tubercular, otitis media, facial paralysis, Bezold’s abscess, mastoidectomy
Sagittal Orientation Of Ingested Foreign Body Coin In Oesophagus At Tertiary Rural Health Care Center: A Case Report.
Authors: Sharma Nisha
Published: September 2024

Foreign body (FB) ingestion and food bolus impaction is a common occurring event in children in all age groups, however, the most common age is 6 months to 4 years. Older children with underlying psychiatric problems are more susceptible to ingest FBs[1]. Most of ingested foreign bodies pass spontaneously with no intervention and coins are one of the usual ingested objects in the children[2-3]. Emergency intervention usually is needed in the symptomatic patients mainly with drooling, chest pain, and stridor or other red flags including:
• Button batteries lodged in the esophagus.
• Large objects >6 cm long and/or wider than 2.5 cm.
• Magnet + metal object or >1 magnet ingestion.
• Lead based objects failing to transit through the stomach.
• High risk children: the previous GI surgery, tracheoesophageal fistulas or stenosing lesions1.
In the absence of the above signs and symptoms and red flags, patient can be kept under observation for 12-24 hours for their spontaneous passage along the GIT [4]. Distal oesophagealcoinsare more likely to pass spontaneously than the proximal coins. Serial radiographs are obtained to localise the site of the FB in theconservative management protocol[5-6]. Coins in the oesophagus often oriented in the coronal plane (face on the frontal radiograph and edge on the lateral view), however tracheal FBs placement is more likely in the sagittal orientation [7].
EMPOWERING INDEPENDENCE: LIFE SKILLS FOR STUDENTS WITH AUTISM AND INTELLECTUAL DISABILITIES
Authors: Pothuraju Dr. Sudheer
Published: September 2024

In the current education sector, students with intellectual disabilities are included in the marginalized groups. Education is a powerful weapon to use against this kind of discrimination prevailing in our society. The students with intellectual disabilities are included in the category of special needs and they are admitted to the special schools. Students with special education needs can be defined as “those who, because of a disability, require special education and related services to achieve their fullest potential (Hasselbring & Williams, 2000). Students with intellectual disabilities to acquire new skills depends on effective teaching and functional utility skill preferences of teachers for them. When goals are determined for students with intellectual disabilities, they must be included skills and concepts which are most useful according to their needs (Basal & Batu, 2003).

Published: September 2024

The growing complexity and scale of ecommerce platforms have created a need for more advanced and precise recommendation systems. Traditional recommendation approaches, such as collaborative filtering and content-based models, while effective, often struggle to fully capture the evolving preferences and behaviours of users in dynamic online marketplaces. To address these limitations, this paper explores the application of dual transformer models in enhancing ecommerce recommender systems. Transformer models, originally developed for natural language processing, offer powerful attention mechanisms that allow for the processing of sequential and contextual data, providing a more nuanced understanding of user behaviour.
This study introduces dual transformer models, which simultaneously process both user interaction history and item features to improve recommendation accuracy. By capturing the intricate relationships between users and items from both dimensions, dual transformer models offer a bidirectional approach that can adapt to changing user preferences in real time. This enables ecommerce platforms to deliver more relevant, personalized, and context-aware product recommendations.
The use of dual transformers in recommendation systems presents several benefits, including improved scalability, enhanced personalization, and increased user engagement. By addressing the shortcomings of traditional recommender systems, dual transformer models have the potential to revolutionize the ecommerce industry, leading to better user satisfaction and higher conversion rates. This paper highlights the potential of these models in improving the overall effectiveness of ecommerce recommendation engines, making them a valuable tool for modern online shopping platforms.
