Authors: Mazin Al-alaaf Hassn , Sabah Jarjees Mohammed
Published: July 2024

Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) has emerged as a valuable imaging modality for various medical applications due to its ability to provide three-dimensional information with minimal radiation exposure. However, CBCT images often suffer from inherent limitations, such as increased noise, artifacts, and reduced spatial resolution. This paper presents a comprehensive review of image processing techniques employed to enhance the quality of CBCT images, addressing the challenges posed by acquisition hardware and image reconstruction algorithms. The review covers a range of preprocessing and post-processing methods, including denoising, artifact correction, and resolution improvement techniques. These methods encompass various mathematical algorithms, machine learning approaches, and hybrid models, which aim to mitigate the imperfections present in CBCT data while preserving diagnostically relevant information. Additionally, this paper discusses the application of deep learning methods, convolutional neural networks, and generative adversarial networks in CBCT image enhancement. These advanced techniques have shown promise in tackling the complex nature of CBCT data and optimizing image quality.

Published: July 2024

This study explores the association between birds and their urbanizing ecosystems. The study area was divided into 4 quadrats of area 2700 m2 each. Bird species as well as number of individuals of each species were counted using the Line Transect Method. Statistical analysis of the data was performed using Windows Microsoft Excel and SPSS v.28. The investigation revealed a significant correlation (P < 0.05) between bird species and the four distinct sites within the study area. These sites exhibit variations in vegetation composition and include notable features like water bodies. The findings underscore the heavy reliance of certain bird species in this region on specific types of vegetation for their survival and well-being. Removing even a single plant species could potentially disrupt the entire ecosystem. The study documented the presence of 42 bird species across 30 families, including one vulnerable species. Both local and seasonal migratory birds were observed during the research. Although the study identified a decline in bird diversity within the study area, it remains species-rich, displaying moderate to high diversity (Simpson’s Dominance Index: 0.0319; Margalef’s Richness Index: 4.0754). This research emphasizes the critical importance of conserving bird species and their associated vegetation to maintain ecosystem integrity. Strategic sustainable development practices along with habitat enrichment for birds is recommended to maintain the valuable avifaunal diversity of the study area. By highlighting the intricate relationship between birds and their habitat, the study highlights the significance of conservation efforts in safeguarding the overall health of the ecosystem.

Introduction: Plasmapheresis has been used with different levels of evidence in neurology, nephrology, and rheumatology. Management guidelines have evolved with the development of randomized clinical trials; however, the low prevalence of some conditions that can benefit from this intervention is a limitation.
Objective of the review: This article is a narrative review that reviews the basic principles of plasma exchange therapy, establishes the levels of evidence, and identifies entities that may benefit from this treatment.
Essential points of the review:
In category I, the conditions are established where the therapy is first-line; in category II, plasmapheresis is the second treatment option; in category III, the optimal role has yet to be established; and in category IV, it is an ineffective treatment.
Among the category I renal indications are Goodpasture syndrome with diffuse alveolar hemorrhage, recurrent focal and segmental glomerulosclerosis in kidney transplant, vasculitis associated with ANCA, rapidly progressive, ABO incompatible kidney transplant.
Conclusion: Due to the lack of clinical studies, some pathologies remain with indications category II to IV. Due to the low prevalence and incidence in intensive care, the collective work of the scientific community is required.
Controversias en la fisiopatología de la hipertensión arterial.
Authors: Bautista Pérez Rocio , Franco Martha
Published: July 2024

Introduction: Purinergic receptors actively participate in the renal alterations in high blood pressure. The elevation of ATP in the renal interstitium activates purinergic receptors, constituting a fundamental pathway in the generation and persistence of arterial hypertension.
Objective of the review: This article is a narrative review that aims to show the importance of new concepts in the pathophysiology of arterial hypertension.
Essential points of the review:
Purinergic receptors are ATP receptors; the more significant the ATP, the greater the purinergic receptors.
Elevated ATP concentrations alter fundamental mechanisms related to blood pressure control, such as the pressure natriuresis mechanism and renal sodium excretion, the regulation of glomerular filtration, and the tubuloglomerular feedback mechanism. The alteration of these mechanisms decreases urinary sodium excretion.
Whether influenced by genetic alterations or induced by vasoconstrictor peptides, a decrease in renal function and tubulointerstitial injury occur before the glomerulus is injured.
The interaction between angiotensin II and purinergic receptors favors the progression of kidney damage.
Conclusion: Kidney damage in high blood pressure is critical, so efforts should be made to control hypertension to prevent the progression of kidney damage that leads to kidney failure. To obtain better blood pressure control, developing purinergic receptor antagonists for clinical use is possible.

Published: July 2024

The purpose of the research is to highlight the role of social media in the dynamic processes of modern culture development. Socio-cultural progress requires effective tools that will ensure the involvement of individual and social potential. Therefore, the article aims to position social media in the paradigm of the information and digital society. The research methodology is focused on the analysis of scientific works that interpret the content and format of information and communication activity of social media resources. The synergistic approach involves the formation of relevant algorithms for broadcasting social relations based on the interaction between different institutions and correlated with philosophical and ideological guidelines. The results of the study identify a number of information and communication dimensions that define worldview and mental meanings and form practice-oriented models of engaging society in synergistic interaction through social media resources. Among the key dimensions of the functioning of social networks in the information society system are: information, technology, dynamism, flexibility, creativity, heuristics, innovation. A promising area of research into the role of social networks in the context of actualising the philosophical and synergistic discourse is the problem of public self-organisation - the integrity of the approach to understanding social activity. Thus, social networks play an important role in the implementation of the principles of functioning of the social order (local or large-scale), providing the information and communication component of social activity. At the same time, social networks are actually becoming platforms where not only certain principles or elements of social development are presented, but also where discussion activity, debate and identification of the specifics of their implementation are formed. The problem of risks associated with the use of the potential of social communication, namely, responsibility, information security, and compliance with the norms of information culture, remains a matter of debate. Philosophy has historically fulfilled the mission of reconciling innovative dimensions with the fundamental dimensions of social activity, so the mental perception of the status of social networks is no less important than their functional potential.

This study aimed to identify the most suitable plant populations, considering different environmental conditions (locations, growing seasons, and sowing dates), to express the yield potential of common bean cultivars released or in the process of releasing for regions not included in the initial release. Forty-four experiments were carried out from November 2016 to March 2019, encompassing wet, dry, and winter seasons, across the states of Goiás, Minas Gerais and Paraná. Five plant populations established at sowing (12, 18, 24, 30, and 36 plants m⁻²) were compared in a randomized block design with four replications, using the cultivars BRS FC310, BRS FC409, and BRSMG Uai. Across winter season experiments, the BRS FC310 cultivar consistently displayed higher yield than the others at all plant populations. In contrast, the BRSMG Uai cultivar exhibited the highest yield during the wet season. The maximum grain yields of the three cultivars were higher in the wet than in the winter season and obtained with higher plant populations. Cultivars BRS FC310, BRS FC409, and BRSMG Uai maximized grain yield with, respectively, 28.4, 25.4, and 26.2 plants m⁻² at harvest time in the wet season, and 20.4, 14.0, and 15.2 plants m⁻² in the winter season.

Published: July 2024

Recycling waste in construction materials is part of a sustainable development approach aimed at creating new materials with characteristics that have been shown to be competitive with traditional materials. In this context, this study aims to recover steel, copper and aluminum wastes from blacksmiths’ workshops together with the reuse thereof in the form of reinforcing fibers in sand concrete. However, in order to assess the impact of this waste on the concrete properties, we introduced such wastes in the form of fibers at different proportions (0.4 %, 0.8 % and 1.2 %). Further, a series of tests was then carried out to determine the evolution of the concrete characteristics in the fresh state (workability and density) and in the hardened state (compressive strength, flexural strength, compressive strength obtained using a sclerometer and the speed of ultrasonic waves), as well as the concrete’s durability (absorption coefficient by immersion, by capillarity and the porosity accessible to water). In closing, the behavior of the concrete was assessed in the face of a chemical attack by H2SO4 and HCl by measuring mass loss. In virtue of thus, the results obtained demonstrated a positive evolution of certain properties of sand concrete as a function of the type and percentage of fibers incorporated into the composition of the concrete.

Improving argumentation quality on MOOC discussion forums: does learning to identify components of arguments help?
Authors: Nera Kenzo , Frenay Mariane , Paquot Magali
Published: July 2024

Constructive argumentation among learners is integral to effective learning. In the context of Massively Open Online Classes (MOOCs), such peer interactions can only occur in discussion forums, where they often prove to be sparse and of poor quality. To address these challenges, we developed and experimentally tested an intervention (nparticipants = 110, narguments = 270) aimed at improving the quality of learners’ written arguments in MOOC forums, taking into account MOOC platform constraints (e.g., self-paced participation and the impossibility of providing personalised feedback). In the first chapter of a management MOOC, participants randomly assigned to the experimental group (vs control) were introduced to the formal components of arguments: claims, justifications and qualifications. They were then asked to identify these components in a series of examples. We found no significant impact of this intervention on learners’ responses to individual open-ended questions directly following the intervention, or in their contributions to discussion forums. Instead, we observed variation in argument quality based on the specific questions prompting argumentation. Our findings prompt further discussion and exploration of strategies to enhance argumentation quality in MOOC discussion forums.

A While’s Worth: ‘Exchanging’ Time in Finland
Authors: Eräsaari Matti
Published: July 2024

Chapter five delves deeper into time’s ability to reveal the underlying ethics displayed when time is fitted into equivalence equations. It examines a case involving the Helsinki Timebank – a local exchange network using time as a currency of account – and the Finnish Tax Administration. Both of these, the Timebank and the tax authority, have specific ideas regarding the worth of the “while”, the token currency connoting an hour of banked time. But these ideas are underwritten by incompatible ethical standpoints. Time’s ability to stand for individualised work histories just as well as generalised labour and social relations does not just prove the book’s central claim – that clock time can act as a vehicle for a multitude of values. It also highlights the malleability of time as a vehicle of value, the way in which clock time can be made to agree with a variety of value projects.
Properties of Time?
Authors: Eräsaari Matti
Published: July 2024

The concluding chapter draws up general conclusions on time and value, more specifically on time as a bearer of value. Obviously, time becomes conceptually available in different ways in different sociocultural settings. But it is time’s malleability or manipulability that particularly reveals its usefulness for highlighting the ethics that underwrite our considerations of worth.

En la Región Chaqueña argentina, el bosque nativo aún se pierde por la expulsión de campesinos y su reemplazo por monocultivo, mientras el bosque remanente se degrada por sobrepastoreo. Al sur de esa región, en provincia de San Luis, la “Asociación Campesinos del Valle del Conlara” (ACVC) asume en 2007 la defensa del monte nativo como estrategia fundamental en disputa al modelo del agronegocio. El presente estudio de caso analiza cómo la ACVC contribuyó en un período de 10 años (2007–2017) a la preservación y rehabilitación del monte nativo en sistemas campesinos de la zona. Se analizaron procesos en dos escalas: en la de sociedad local se abordaron las acciones sociales colectivas, y en la predial se analizaron las prácticas de manejo implementadas, sus alcances, limitaciones y efectos sobre la condición de monte. Se realizaron entrevistas semi–estructuradas y talleres con actores locales, y se evaluó la condición del monte mediante bioindicadores de vegetación. La ACVC impulsó campañas de visibilización sobre la importancia del monte, procesos socio–organizativos, formación en educación ambiental e investigación–acción–participativa, que permitieron promover prácticas de manejo a escala predial. Las/os campesinas/os preservan una alta proporción del predio con monte nativo, que descansan del pastoreo durante la estación de crecimiento de la vegetación duplicando su cobertura, posibilitado por la utilización estratégica de verdeos de verano o pasturas. Concluimos que las acciones impulsadas por la ACVC la consolidan como un actor clave en la preservación y rehabilitación del monte nativo en la zona.

Paradoxical Effect of Combined Exposure of Semax and Ammonium Molybdate on Learning and Memory of Rats
Authors: Inozemtsev A. , Karpukhina O. , Zindovic N.
Published: July 2024

The combined effect of semax with aqueous solutions of lead diacetate (10-7 M) and ammonium molybdate (10-5 M) on the formation of a conditional two-way avoidance reaction in rats in a shuttle chamber was studied. It was found that both heavy metal salts inhibit learning and memory; lead diacetate caused greater depression. Semax slowed down the production of the conditional reaction, but counteracted the negative influence of both metals on this process. At the same time, the influence of semax on the formation of the avoidance reaction in the presence of ammonium molybdate, which in itself inhibited avoidance, paradoxically intensified. With the combined effect of the peptide and ammonium molybdate, the formation of a conditional reaction occurred much faster than against the background of semax without combination with molybdenum. In general, the data obtained indicate that semax counteracts the neurotoxic effect of lead and molybdenum salts. Since the main mechanism of the neurotoxic effect of heavy metals is oxidative stress, the indicated positive effect of semax can, in our opinion, serve as confirmation of the presence of antioxidant properties in the spectrum of pharmacological activity of the peptide.

The urgency of the problem of acute peritonitis in surgical practice is due to the annual increase in morbidity, a high number of complications, therapeutic complexity and mortality. Materials and methods. The material of the study was 45 patients with acute peritonitis, who were divided into 3 groups depending on the course of pathology after surgery. The first group (n=15) – without complications, the second (n=15) – with wound complications, the third (n=15) – with tertiary peritonitis and sepsis. In addition to standard research methods, a number of laboratory tests are included to determine the severity of intoxication, oxidative activity, the state of the blood coagulation system, and the functional state of the liver. The study period is the 1st, 5th, 10th postoperative day. Results. The results showed that in the early period after surgery in patients with acute peritonitis, the state of hypercoagulemia, inhibition of fibrinolysis correlate with lipid peroxidation, endogenous intoxication, and violation of the functional status of the liver. With effective therapy, during the early postoperative period, the state of the hemostasis system and homeostasis indicators are corrected against the background of restoration of the functional status of the liver. With the aggravation of the phenomena of inflammation in the early postoperative period and the development of complications, there is a progression of changes in the studied indicators of homeostasis and hemostasis with further inhibition of the functional state of the liver. With the development of tertiary peritonitis and sepsis, the hemostasis system is modified in the form of hypocoagulemia and activation of fibrinolysis against the background of a sharp increase in endogenous intoxication, lipid peroxidation and greater inhibition of the functional status of the liver, including from its hemostasis-regulating component. Conclusions. The obtained results indicate the presence of a reliable correlation of disorders in the hemostasis system with changes in homeostasis in conditions of progressive inflammation.

The purpose of the study was to assess the effect of 35-day Cytoflavin consumption on hormonal status, blood lactate level and functional parameters in elite ice hockey players. Material and methods: the study included 60 male professional hockey players (aged 19 to 36 years) divided into two groups of 30 subjects. Group I underwent a course of metabolic therapy with the use of succinic acid (Cytoflavin) for 35 days. Group II whose pharmacological support included only "basic" sports nutrition did not include succinic acid preparations or other metabolic agents. All patients underwent blood pressure and heart rate measurements, laboratory tests, pulse oximetry, ergospirometry. Trends in lactate levels in the blood and hormonal status in athletes were assessed. Moreover, such parameters as testing time, maximum heart rate, maximum oxygen consumption (VO2max), aerobic and anaerobic threshold pulse, time to reach the aerobic and anaerobic threshold were analyzed. Results: athletes who received a course of metabolic therapy on the 35th day of the preparatory period showed a significant increase in the indicators of maximum oxygen consumption (VO2max), the time of the test and the time of the anaerobic threshold (p<0.05), which, against the background of a statistically significant decrease in lactate levels (p=0.014) indicates an improvement in aerobic performance and the possibility of faster recovery of athletes after physical exertion compared with athletes who did not receive metabolic therapy with succinic acid. Conclusion: The results obtained allow us to recommend the use of step therapy with succinic acid as a metabolic therapy for professional hockey players in the preparatory period.

Authors: Gorlova Anna , Pavlov Dmitry , Inozemtsev Anatoly
Published: July 2024

In this work we investigated the effect of chronic ultrasonic exposure to variable frequencies in the range of 20-45 kHz for 1, 2 and 3 weeks on anxiety, exploratory activity and anhedonia in rats. The animals recorded the development of anhedonia and a decrease in exploratory activity in the Open Field, Elevated Cross Maze and Dark Light Chamber tests, indicating the formation of a depressive-like state in them. These behavioural changes were manifested simultaneously after 2 weeks of ultrasound exposure. At the same time, the rats did not show a decrease in horizontal activity, as well as the ratio of time spent in open and closed areas of the arena.

Published: July 2024

This study aims to explain the urban community-based clean water provision in Bandung City, in terms of general problems, institutional and governance aspects. Community-based clean water governance should be developed so that communities are independent and ready to produce clean water. When clean water is available, the time and money spent on obtaining clean water can be used for other more productive purposes and can improve community welfare. The method used in this research is a qualitative approach with a descriptive approach. Data collection was done through literature review, in-depth interviews and several site surveys. The results of this study indicate the low performance of Regional Water Supply Company in managing clean water supply and the absence of local regulations related to urban community-based clean water governance. In addition, the implementation of clean water provision in Bandung City has not integrated community-based governance. The conclusion of this research is that urban clean water governance in Bandung City and other cities in Indonesia using a community-based system for the current condition is very relevant. Furthermore, it is important to draft a local regulation on urban community-based water governance that aims to protect water resources as well as to create a clean and healthy environment, and sustainable.
The Gospels and Educational Leadership: Still Fascinating?
Authors: Vella Robert
Published: July 2024

This exploration was inspired by the fact of the various studies both on the gospels and educational leadership, as well as the researcher’s interest in educational leadership. The study did not explore these concepts from a theological or biblical perspectives of leadership in the gospels, but rather takes an explanatory stance on how the researcher interprets different leadership events in the gospels when compared with contemporary educational leadership theories. In particular, taking into consideration the models of educational leadership as suggested by Bush and Glover (2003, 2014) as valuable contemporary typologies. The study delves in the role of Jesus as a leader and the role of leadership in the New Testament, leadership in general with further emphasis on educational leadership. The study was explored using desk research by gathering information and insights from various scholars and analysing them to interpret the correlation between leadership, in particular leadership in the gospels with contemporary educational leadership concepts. The study suggests that there is much more to be explored but there is much in common with leadership theories dating back around 2000 years with today’s typologies.
