Published: December 2023

Introduction: Advance non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is a disease with a high clinical and economic burden for healthcare systems. It exists few studies on the management costs of NSCLC patients. The main objective of this study was to identify healthcare resource consumption and costs related to management of advanced NSCLC in the context of the Catalan Health Service (CatSalut).
Methodology: A systematic literature review (SLR) was performed to identify resource use for NSCLC management. Additionally was completed with observational data and expert’s opinion. Pharmacoeconomics evaluation was a costs analysis using a decision modelling for diagnosis and clinical - therapeutic pathway. for a time horizon of one year.
Results: Total costs for advanced NSCLC patients (N= 4.026) would account for 141.054.270€/year: 9% for diagnostic and 91% for clinical - therapeutic management. The main cost driver could be associated to anticancer drugs (44-61% of the total medical costs) across the different line of treatment: 46.403.510€ in first line, 19.980.440€ in second line and 6.517.901€ in third line and after. The overall healthcare cost for advanced NSCLC could result in 1,65% of the total public health budget in Catalonia.
Conclusion: Advanced NSCLC management could increase in healthcare spending. The identification of an appropriate therapeutic pathway, resource use and costs could support healthcare policies and interventions to guarantee an adequate and efficient disease management ensuring care accessibility for all patients.

Calculation of the Electronic Properties Phthalocyanine (H2Pc), Silicon Phthalocyanine (Sipc), Phosphorus Phthalocyanine (PPc) and Energy Gap by the AM1 Method
Authors: Farhan Ahmed mohammed
Published: December 2023

Many semi-empirical methods are available in Gaussian 16. This patch enables analytical gradients and frequencies in addition to increasing efficiency by replacing the code from MOPAC open source, AM1 and PM3 technologies. In the case of a pure molecule, the values of total energy, bond energy, electronic energy, and nuclear energy (-170.893, -1496.855, -4332.708, 45) Kcal/mol have been successively added. After adding Si and P to the free Phthalocyanine molecule, the values transformed to (-133.30, -4987.486, -1294.027, 11.607) Kcal/mol. For the two resulting molecules (PcSi and PcP), the values became (-136.108, -4858.63, -9354.14, 79.930) Kcal/mol. Notably, the first number indicated an increase. Specifically, for total energy numbers, there was a decrease from -170.893 to -133.3 Kcal/mol when adding Si, and a decrease to -136.108 Kcal/mol when adding P. Overall, the energy value increased with both additions, but the bonding energy notably decreased with Si (-1496.855 to -4987.486 Kcal/mol) and P (-4858.63 Kcal/mol). Electronic energy increased from -4332.708 to -1294.027 Kcal/mol when Si was added. Nuclear energy decreased from 45.036 to 11.607 Kcal/mol when Si was added (increasing to 79.930 Kcal/mol with P). The Heat of Formation (H.o.F.) in Kcal/mol equaled 1565.04 when P was added, 1193.384 when Si was added, and 1531.528 when P was added again. The substantial impact of silicon on Phthalocyanine was evident. Furthermore, the dipole moment of the Phthalocyanine molecule, initially at D 3.687, decreased to D 2.093 and D 4.137 when Si was added first and P the second time, showcasing the significant impact of P due to its high atomic number. Determining the HOMO and LUMO and computing the values of Wavenumber, Wavelength, and Symmetry for the three molecules provided a clear illustration. The computation of electrical potential, electronic orbitals, and energy gap revealed an electronic density of 0.346 eV in the case of the free molecule H2Pc, 5.006 eV in the molecule PPc, and 5.660 eV in the case of SiPc. This offers a comprehensive understanding of the impact of adding P and Si to H2Pc.
An Explainable Content-Based Course Recommender Using Job Skills
Authors: Younus Yasir Mahmood
Published: December 2023

The large number of courses offered in universities and online studies made it difficult for students to choose the courses that suit their interests and career goals, which led students to lose many opportunities to be employed in the job they wanted. To keep pace with the rapid development of technology, and instead of relying on the job title as was previously done, the employers began to identify the skills required for a job. The competencies of the candidates are then examined and evaluated according to those requirements. Thus, it has become necessary for students to take courses that suit their future professional interests, ensuring that they are employed in the job they desire and supporting their long-term career success. Fortunately, the emergence of skills-based employment has provided an opportunity for universities and colleges to create a clearer path to the courses offered to allow students to take courses that match their future career interests. In this study, we used K-Mean clustering algorithm, TF-idf approach, and content-based filtering algorithm to provide relevant courses for students based on the required job with an explanation of why these courses are recommended. Our result illustrates that our method offers many advantages compared with other recommender systems. our system converts a simple course recommendation into a tool for discovering skills.  Since many recommendation systems work as black boxes, we designed our system to recommend the relevant course with explaining why these courses are recommended, which will add a factor of transparency to our system and confirms the reliability of the system to the students.

Authors: Gafurov B.G.
Published: December 2023

Based on the data of clinical and laboratory-instrumental study of 81 patients with recurrent stroke, (including 63 cases after the primary ischemic stroke and 18 cases after the primary hemorrhagic stroke), we compared clinical-pathogenetic correlations between primary and recurrent strokes. A trend towards the localization of a focus of recurrent stroke in the same hemisphere in case of the similar to the primary stroke clinical form and in the other hemisphere in case of changing the clinical form (ischemic to hemorrhagic and vice versa) was found. Among the pathogenetic types of ischemic stroke, lacunar and hemoreologic types were most stable in recurrent stroke compared to the primary one. In other variants, the pathogenesis of recurrent stroke changed more often. The authors concluded that further research in this direction would help to solve issues in prediction of recurrent stroke and improvement of secondary prevention.

PARÂMETROS PROJETUAIS PARA O PROJETO ARQUITETÔNICO DE UMA EDIFICAÇÃO MAIS SUSTENTÁVEL
Authors: De Andrade Edivanete Márcia Nogueira
Published: December 2023

O objetivo deste artigo é apresentar parâmetros mais sustentáveis aplicados à fase de concepção do projeto de arquitetura, tendo em vista a situação de degradação ambiental causada pelas obras civis no que se refere à própria construção, ocupação e manutenção. Estes efeitos podem ser minimizados com diretrizes projetuais relativamente simples, mas que devem nascer com o projeto. Para elencar os parâmetros baseou-se em pesquisas bibliográficas, quase que exclusivamente nacionais, dividindo as diretrizes projetuais em cinco grupos: localização e implantação, conforto térmico e lumínico, energia, água e resíduos. Observa-se que as diretrizes podem ser aplicadas em diversas subáreas da construção civil, de forma holística e sistêmica, pois soluções apresentadas no projeto de arquitetura podem e vão influenciar projetos de outras engenharias, como elétrica,  hidrossanitária e vice-versa. É válido salientar que há inúmeras soluções técnicas possíveis para o mesmo problema, e aqui não se espera apresentar todas essas soluções, e sim introduzir, dentro de cada grupo, além da problematização, a exemplificação de soluções que buscam uma edificação mais sustentável.

O uso da experimentação em ciências representa uma excelente ferramenta de aprendizagem envolvendo teoria e prática. Neste cenário, a aplicação de experimentos em aulas envolvendo a temática da poluição ambiental torna-se produtiva. Em José de Freitas-PI, a Barragem do Bezerro é exemplo de ambiente multiutilizado e sem controle de uso e despejo de resíduos na água. Tendo em vista a necessária investigação sobre a contribuição da experimentação na aprendizagem, objetivou-se avaliar o efeito do uso dessa água, com foco em seu potencial citotóxico, em raízes de cebola (Allium cepa). Essa avaliação, realizada também em aula experimental, comparou o rendimento de alunos participantes em relação àqueles que apenas estudaram o conteúdo teórico da temática, verificando-se assim como o uso da experimentação melhoraria o aprendizado. Os resultados demonstram que as raízes de cebola crescidas em água das fontes públicas do município cresceram mais, se comparado às raízes expostas à água da barragem, o que pode ser indicativo da presença de agentes citotóxicos na água da barragem. Referindo-se ao uso da experimentação, a turma submetida à metodologia experimental demonstrou maior capacidade de resposta sobre as perguntas formuladas, e acreditam que a experimentação contribuiu positivamente no processo de aprendizagem.

Published: December 2023

In Brazil, in scientific research and public policy have largely ignored small wetlands, they are not specifically covered by current environmental laws and reference standards. Furthermore, the lack of information about, small wetlands has made their protection and management difficult. Large-scale land use changes that modify the hydrology of low-order streams often lead to the accelerated degradation and loss of small wetlands. The aim of this study conducted in Brazilian Cerrado Biome area, was to map the type, size, and distribution of small wetlands in ancatchment area). Areas represented in 12 high-resolution multispectral images were individually classified in a geographic object-based image analysis (GEOBIA), resulting in a sensitivity or recall 0.872 (~87%). The 7,132 mapped wetlands had a total area of 163km2, corresponding to a density of 4.27wetlands km−2, with smallest wetlands smaller than 4.0 hectares (90.5%). The following descriptors were applied to map small wetlands: feature: asymmetry, rectangular fit, mean nir band, compactness, density, and length. Seven types of natural wetlands and four types of man-made wetlands were accordingly identified in the study area. Their classification within a system that follows the hierarchy of the Brazilian wetland classification system is proposed. Recommendations for the future study and protection of wetlands was are also provided.

Effect of Combined Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation and Disease-Modifying Antirheumatic Drug Therapy Versus Disease-Modifying Antirheumatic Drug Therapy Alone on Enhancing Gait and Reducing Fall Risks in Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis and Peripheral Neuropathy
Authors: Arshad Muhammad , Younus Raheel , Ali Awais , Hassan Syed Sibtain Ul
Published: December 2023

Background: Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) with Peripheral Neuropathy (PN) significantly impacts gait and balance, posing challenges in patient management. While Disease-Modifying Antirheumatic Drug (DMARD) therapy is effective for RA, it may not fully address these functional impairments. Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation (NMES) has been proposed as a complementary therapy to improve these outcomes.
Objective: This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of combining NMES with DMARD therapy versus DMARD therapy alone in enhancing gait and reducing fall risks among RA patients with PN.
Methods: In a randomized controlled trial, 66 RA patients with PN were allocated to either Group A (NMES + DMARD, n=33) or Group B (DMARD only, n=33). Baseline demographics (age, gender, BMI, RA duration) and clinical outcomes (stride length, gait speed, cadence, etc.) were measured. Assessments were conducted at the study’s onset and after an 8-week intervention period, with data analyzed using independent t-tests.
Results: Baseline data revealed no significant differences between the groups. Post-intervention, Group A exhibited marked improvements: stride length reduced to 58.26 cm (± 5.0) compared to Group B’s 69.1 cm (± 5.2, p=0.036), gait speed decreased to 0.77 m/s (± 5.1) against Group B’s 0.94 m/s (± 5.2, p=0.020), and cadence lowered to 81.43 steps/min (± 4.5) versus Group B’s 97.06 steps/min (± 4.7, p=0.029). Significant improvements were also seen in step width, double support time, and balance scales in Group A. However, biochemical markers did not show significant differences post-intervention.
Conclusion: The integration of NMES with DMARD therapy resulted in significant improvements in gait and balance parameters compared to DMARD therapy alone in RA patients with PN. These findings suggest that NMES could be an effective adjunct to DMARDs in managing functional impairments in this population.

Cambodian insect fauna is virtually unstudied, especially compared to the extensive research completed on vertebrate biodiversity and conservation management. Kulen Promtep Wildlife Sanctuary (KPWS) in Preah Vihear province is one of the best examples of biodiverse habitats in Cambodia, including endangered and rare species such as Thaumatibis gigantea (the giant ibis). The study aims to: (1) conduct a preliminary insect survey at KPWS; (2) document species composition and the distribution of insect biodiversity across various habitat types; and (3) identify the insect species sampled and classify them in a database of insect fauna present at KPWS with references to new Cambodian species. An insect survey in KPWS was conducted between the 12th and 21st of October 2017 across six survey sites, where 775 insect specimens were collected comprising 12 orders, 53 families, and 147 morphospecies. The three dominant orders sampled were Coleoptera (beetles), Hemiptera (true bugs) and Lepidoptera (butterflies and moths). An analysis of the species diversity showed that the insect community at KPWS is abundant and evenly distributed within a Shannon's diversity index and Shannon’s equitability value of H = 4.20694 and EH = 0.85, respectively. The study also found the richness of insect species at KPWS is supported by the availability of different habitat types endemic to the region, including deciduous dipterocarp and dry evergreen forests.

Published: December 2023

Freshly-eaten vegetables have become more popular in Cambodian diet. However, these vegetables are also one of the main sources of infection from pathogenic microorganisms if they become contaminated. Outbreaks of foodborne diseases caused by fresh fruits and vegetables have been increasingly reported, raising concerns regarding their safety. Therefore, it is very important to conduct an inquiry into the contamination of fresh vegetables by Escherichia coli and Salmonella spp. This study investigates the presence and concentration of E. coli, total coliforms, and Salmonella in samples of lettuce, saw-leaf herb, and cucumber, collected from different types of market in Phnom Penh. The spread-plate technique was used to detect the number of bacteria in each sample. The results indicate that the incidence of bacterial contamination in fresh vegetables, particularly lettuce and saw-leaf herbs, was higher in the wholesale markets than the other three types of markets. The concentration of E. coli in each of the samples ranged between 2 x 103 and 7 x 105 CFUs/g from the retail markets. The concentration of total coliforms was also found to be quite high. Salmonella was present in almost all leafy vegetable samples but in very few in cucumber samples. Bacteria reduction from the samples by thorough washing under flowing tap water was effective in most cases.

Authors: Soknet SRENG , Sorya PROUM
Published: December 2023

Groundwater is classified as polluted if it contains sufficient chemical or biological contaminants to cause harm to living organisms. Nitrates are a common groundwater contaminant. In developing countries, a common source of nitrates in aquifers is Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) landfills, where they are produced from the decomposition of organic wastes. Nitrate pollution may cause groundwater quality surrounding MSW landfills to deteriorate if the issue is not managed. This research aims to investigate the presence and concentration of nitrates in leachate and groundwater samples surrounding the Dangkor landfill in Phnom Penh and recommend an effective approach for effectively monitoring and controlling these levels. Nitrate levels in leachate sampled from the landfill and groundwater sampled from surrounding tube wells was analyzed to assess (i) the seasonal variation in nitrate concentrations; (ii) spatial variation in the nitrate contamination of aquifers surrounding the landfill; and (iii) compliance with WHO standards. Groundwater samples were collected from three different wells at four sampling points located 500, 1000, 1500, and 2000 m from a reference point at Dangkor MSW landfill. Each sample was analyzed for the presence of nitrates before the concentration was analyzed. The results had several limitations but they suggest that there is no significant relationship between nitrate concentration in groundwater and distance from the landfill. Recorded nitrate levels were well within WHO guidelines for domestic use (50 mg/L) and as such, landfill leachate is not contributing to unsafe nitrate levels in groundwater aquifers between 500 m and 2000 m from the landfill site.
