Published: December 2022

The supply of European critical raw materials (CRMs) does not currently meet the European demand. This gap is predicted to increase, making Europe even more dependent on outside suppliers. AGEMERA is a project to help tackle this strategic problem by studying several CRM sites in Finland, Poland, Spain, the Balkans, and Zambia in different deposit types. To check the potential of the porphyry systems in Europe as a source of CRMs, the Assarel porphyry-Cu deposit was chosen as a test site. Here we present preliminary geochemical and mineral chemistry data for hydrothermal ore and alteration minerals in Assarel that reveal the potential of the deposit to source some CRMs as by-products. Further studies will combine the geochemical data with innovative geophysical methods for an improved deposit model and provide enhanced knowledge about effective exploration techniques for CRMs.

Authors: Metodiev Lubomir , Georgieva Milena , Stoylkova Tanya
Published: December 2022

The Degree of Pyritization (DOP) and the Indicator of Anoxicity (IA) were used as tools to assess the degree of redox conditions in Lower and Middle Jurassic strata from Bulgaria. Normally-oxygenated (with DOP values < 0.45 and IA values < 0.4), oxygen-restricted (0.45 < DOP < 0.7; 0.4 < IA < 0.5), and oxygen-depleted (DOP > 0.7 and IA > 0.5) bottom-water conditions were recognized on a selection of samples, mainly from the Ozirovo Formation (upper Pliensbachian–Toarcian), but also from the Etropole Formation (lower Bajocian). DOP and IA yielded the highest values (> 0.9 for DOP and > 0.5 for IA) from samples of the lower Toarcian Tenuicostatum and Falciferum ammonite zones, and thus, denoted declined oxygen levels and enrichment of reactive Fe at the sea floor. Beyond this stratigraphic level, both parameters indicated for prevailing normally-oxygenated to oxygen-restricted setting, with limitedly imposed environments beneath stratified water-column.
Quantitative Holocene palaeolandscape reconstructions in the Beloslav Lake area using pollen data, modelling and simulation approach
Authors: Vergiev Stoyan
Published: December 2022

Pollen records from lacustrine core Bel-1 obtained from the Beloslav Lake (Northeastern Bulgaria) were used to reconstruct the past vegetation and to simulate past landscapes. Numerous 50 km by 30 km landscape simulations were performed at different time windows in the past. Eleven of them were chosen as significant for vegetation dynamics, human impact, and landscape evolution. Comparison of actual and simulated modern vegetation composition showed similar results, which proved the reliability of models. Quantitative reconstructions in the region of the Beloslav Lake showed a clear trend of decreasing forest landscapes at the expense of agrarian ones. Simulated landscapes based on quantitative reconstruction of vegetation coverage reflected a more significant anthropogenic impact and openness than those shown by pollen percentages.
Coupled and uncoupled to δ34S behavior of gold and silver in pyrite and marcasite from the low-sulfidation Sarnak gold deposit, SE Bulgaria
Authors: Gadzhalov Aleksandar , Marinova Irina , Tarassov Mihail , Tacheva Elena
Published: December 2022

In this study, the contents of Au and Ag in five pyrite±marcasite samples from the Sarnak gold deposit, the respective δ34S, and the sample distances to the contact between metamorphic basement and overlying sedimentary cover were considered. We found that two samples from lower horizons (levels of 69 and 30 m below the contact) display relatively low Au and Ag contents, negative values of δ34SV-CDT (–3.14 and –6.42‰) and pronounced oscillatory zoning, resulting from oscillating contents of As. Three samples from higher horizons (levels of 8, 7 and 0 m below the contact) have higher Au and Ag contents, positive or slightly negative values of δ34SV-CDT (+0.5, +1.73 and –1.85‰) and poorly expressed or absent arsenian zoning. Two of them contain microscopic electrum and adularia. Based on these contrasting features we assume different mechanisms of precipitation: intense fluid-rock interaction for samples from lower horizons under steady conditions and boiling of fluid for samples from higher horizons under fluctuating conditions.

Published: December 2022

Coconut milk is one of the ingredients in making lamb curry, however, coconut milk that is cooked for a long time and heated repeatedly can be a source of bad fat and contains high cholesterol so that people with certain diseases such as acid reflux disease or GERD, high blood pressure, diabetes, and coconut milk allergy cannot consume coconut milk. Therefore, in this study coconut milk is replaced with FiberCreme. Replacement of coconut milk using FiberCreme when viewed from its superiority is considered effective to prevent or reduce the risk of an increase in cholesterol and bad fats in the blood. This study aims to determine the quality of lamb curry cooked with FiberCreme in terms of taste, aroma, texture, and color. This research was assessed by distributing questionnaires to 25 panelists. All assessments given by the panelists will be calculated using the Likert scale method. Based on the final results of the organoleptic test, lamb curry products using FiberCreme have good quality as seen from the average interpretation of 79.5%, which is seen from the assessment of taste, aroma, texture, and color.

Introduction: Diabetes nephropathy is a consequence of Diabetes Mellitus (DM) and is a leading cause of EndStage Renal Disease (ESRD). Diabetes nephropathy is a metabolic disease and can be prevented through the proper monitoring of glycaemic control levels and kidney function, which is done using estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). There is a sparsity of data addressing diabetes nephropathy in the Kingdom of Bahrain; hence, this research was undertaken to the prevalence of diabetes nephropathy in Bahrain, its associated risk factors, and clinical management practices. Methodology: A retrospective cross-sectional study took place in the central diabetes clinics (CDCs) of seven primary healthcare units (PHUs) in Bahrain, for the period from February to April 2020. Inclusion criteria included type 2 diabetes patients, aged 18 years and above, following up with the CDCs during the period from February to April 2020. The exclusion criteria included type 1 diabetes patients, patients under the age of 18, patients with renal transplants, and pregnant women. Other variables included demographic data, biochemical and clinical data, e-GFR, albuminuria status, medication prescriptions, and secondary care nephrology referrals. Results: A total of 2,125 patients were enrolled in the study, with 16.3% suffering from chronic kidney disease at stages 3, 4 and 5. Strong correlations were found between low eGFR and certain variables, including HbA1c, blood pressure and age. A multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that increased age, HbA1c, and systolic blood pressure were associated with a higher risk of an eGFR of less than 60 mL/min/1.73 m2 . Conclusion: This study highlighted that the prevalence of renal impairment in people with DM in Bahrain is high with a detrimental economic impact. Further studies with longitudinal patterns need to be performed to verify the true impact of this illness.

Published: December 2022

Background: There are several elements to consider when determining the optimal procedure for restoring teeth that have undergone endodontic treatment, including the choice and requirement of a post, the kind of coronal restoration, how much coronal structure is still there, and the kind of cementing agent. The ideal restoration procedure for teeth that have undergone endodontic treatment is yet unknown. The goal of this systematic review was to evaluate the restorative material choices and factors that affect the decision-making on endodontically treated teeth (ETT) among dental professionals and students in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Methods: Studies that evaluated the choice or preference of dental professionals for restorative materials for teeth that had undergone endodontic treatment were chosen from surveys that were published between 2012 and 2022 in English. Selected keyword searches were conducted in the Science Direct, PubMed, and Google Scholar databases. The data (theme-related questions and response rates for each survey question) were extracted using a standardized outline, and the likelihood of bias was evaluated. The information gathered was subjected to descriptive analysis. Results: There were 11 articles in total, encompassing 2192 respondents. The response rates ranged from 30% to 98%. The study population consisted of general dental practitioners (n = 1018), followed by dental students (n = 598), specialists (n = 475), and 101 dental surgeons. The years of experience range from 1 to > 30 years, with the majority claiming to have fewer than 10 years. Moreover, 55% of the studies preferred prefabricated posts, such as fiber posts following metal posts. Most of the respondents preferred resin-based cementing agents (22% to 82%). Over 60% of respondents chose composite resin over amalgam as the material for the core foundation Conclusion: The study results from Saudi Arabian data showed that dentists favored using prefabricated posts, such as fiber and metal-based posts, to restore ETTs and resin-based cementing agents. The preferred material for the core foundation built for ETT by regular dentists, specialists, and students is regarded as composite. The amount of coronal tooth structure that is still present is crucial when choosing the post type and restorative material.

Probiotics are by definition live microbial feed supplements that, as shown in clinical trials, improve the host animal's gut microbial balance. Dietary changes, an increase in the consumption of indigestible carbohydrates, and the consumption of live bacteria with human origin are all methods for influencing the microflora. This latter idea is often frequently referred to as replacement therapy or bacteriotherapy. Due to their naturally occurring casein, calcium, and phosphorus content, milk products are regarded safe for teeth and may have positive effects on the salivary microbial composition and the suppression of caries development. Bifidobacteria are common in deep caries lesions in the mouth and may be crucial to the development of caries. Although the impact on people with the greater levels of salivary mutans streptococci has been found to be rather small, yogurt with living bacteria generally had a significantly lowering effect on these bacteria. Lactobacilli are more closely related to carious dentine and the progressing front of caries lesions than to the start of the dental caries process. They have the ability to create low molecular weight bacteriocins with inhibitory activity against a variety of bacterial species, including oral streptococci.

Authors: Al-Ayed Sura I. , Al-Tit Ahmad A.
Published: December 2022

The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of supply chain risk management on supply chain resilience in the presence of Internet-of-Things as an intermediate variable. In other words, the study seeks to identify whether supply chain risk management completely affects supply chain resilience. Collecting data by a questionnaire from a sample composed of managers of Jordanian industrial firms, the results show that supply chain risk management has a direct and indirect effect on supply chain resilience through Internet-of-Things. These results do not support the hypothesis that supply chain risk management completely affects supply chain resilience and accepted the hypothesis that Internet-of-Things intervenes the effect of supply chain risk management on supply chain resilience. The study contributes to the literature through filling a research gap regarding the mediating role of Internet-of-Things in the relationship between supply chain risk management and supply chain resilience and contributes to the industry through instructing managers to adopt technologies such as Internet-of-Things to help their firms cope with supply chain risks.

Back ground: One of the known causes of GI bleeding is angiodysplasia, which usually causes bleeding over 70 years old patients. 30-40% of small bowel Angiodysplasia (AD) shows Gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding which occurs chronically and repeatedly. Case presentation: A 25-year-old patient in 27+6 weeks of pregnancy administered to our hospital with os bleeding. Fetal death in uterus was diagnosed with sonography and her initial lab showed hemoglobin 6.8 g/dl. On the second post operation day of cesarean section, the patient complained hematemesis and hematochezia, and her blood pressure was measured 80/50 mmHg with heart rate 128/min. Sigmoidoscopy and esophagogastroduodenoscopy were immediately done, and large amount of blood was shown at both stomach and sigmoid colon without any active bleeding site. Abdomen CT showed active small bowel bleeding with hematoma. Embolization was done and successfully blocked active bleeding. After two days, we examined capsule endoscopy and found angiodysplasia and ischemic change at jejunum. The patient was fully recovered and discharged after 8 days of delivery. Conclusions: Our report shows the rare case of young pregnant woman with angiodysplasia experiences massive GI bleeding which lead to FDIU. Our case highlights the need for close monitoring of pregnant women with bleeding diathesis such as diverticulitis and AV deformities during or before pregnancy.
Challenges in Medical Ethics: the South African context
Authors: van Niekerk Anton
Published: December 2022

This is a book about several specific and serious challenges that bioethics has to deal with in our time, particularly in the South African context. From an almost non-existent ‘science’ at the beginning of the 20th century, not receiving systematic reflection in intellectual circles such as universities, bioethics has grown with unprecedented strides and has established itself across the world as a major field of study. This book is an acknowledgement of the relevance and actuality of this development of bioethics internationally, and particularly in South Africa. In addition, it is an inter- and multidisciplinary composition of contributors and a significant reflection of the interdisciplinary approach that is universally required for bioethical work. The contributions also testify to a notable diversity in recently researched issues and in the backgrounds of the contributors.
atualidade das canções críticas do Clube da Esquina à ditadura militar
Authors: Coan Emerson Ike
Published: December 2022

Este artigo pretende situar o Clube da Esquina como produtor cultural de canções críticas à ditadura militar nos anos 1970 e examinar, em conformidade com o conceito de rememoração de Walter Benjamin, a validade delas no momento atual como resistência à produção da amnésia social sobre esse regime, no contexto do tempo espetacular, como conceituado por Guy Debord. Emprega-se o método dialético da teoria crítica da sociedade, pois se pesquisa o objeto em situações históricas específicas. Nas canções do Clube da Esquina, o recurso à memória do sujeito narrativo sobre a repressão e as vítimas da ditadura militar tornava-se uma estratégia de preservar a história do país. Ainda que a crítica ao regime estivesse sob censura, evitar o esquecimento do que passou era uma possibilidade de contestar o que estava sendo feito, de pensar a transformação da sociedade e de se projetar para o futuro como documento histórico.

Future wearables by soft electronic materials
Authors: Matsuhisa Naoji
Published: December 2022

Wearable devices enable long-term and precise healthcare monitoring without medical professionals, which is especially important in a pandemic or aging society. As the next-generation of current wearable devices in the form of a watch or ring, wearable devices with skin-like softness and stretchability have been developed for improved comfort of wear and signal integrity. In this talk, we introduce several soft electronic materials by fully utilizing a variety of soft nanomaterials (e.g., silver nanowires, carbon nanotubes, polymer semiconductors, liquid metals) to realize soft electronic devices.

Post-Independent Kenya in Ngugi’s A Grain of Wheat and Petals of Blood: A Neo-Colonial Study
Authors: Khatun Most. Umme Atia
Published: December 2022

For most of the colonized nations, the achievement of independence turned an illusion with the perpetuation of disguised imperialism which most of the postcolonial critics have termed as “neocolonialism”. Neocolonialism can be defined as the deliberate and continued survival of the colonial system in independent states by turning them into victims of political, psychological, economic and social domination carried out through subtle means that exclude direct violence. An inspiring advocate for freedom, justice, and human rights for the downtrodden peoples of the world, Kenya’s most celebrated postcolonial writer Ngugi Wa Thiong’o has depicted neocolonialism in many of his fiction and non-fiction works among which the novels A grain of Wheat and Petals of Blood are most influential. This study aims to show the emergence of local elites in the wake of independence in Kenya where white colonizers are replaced with them in order to initiate a new phase of exploitation. By depicting the major characters and their association with the former colonial forces and delineating various aspects of post-independent Kenya, this study will focus on the existence of neo-colonialism and its fatal impacts on the masses as represented in the respective novels. On the basis of the philosophy of neocolonialism by scholars like Frantz Fanon, Kwame Nkrumah and Ngugi himself, this study will also showcase how Ngugi sketches the continuation of classism and the prevalence of bourgeoisies in his novel A Grain of Wheat and Petals of Blood.

Aneurysmal bone cyst (ABC) is a rare osteolytic lesion which, though benign, can have devastating effects on the patient’s function and cosmesis. Surgery is the mainstay of treatment; however, for incompletely resected, inoperable, or recurrent ABCs, radiation therapy has been posited to be a feasible therapeutic modality. However, evidence on the possible role of radiation therapy in the management of ABCs remains in its infancy. This short review discusses what is currently known about the pathophysiology, natural history, epidemiology, and clinical presentation of ABCs. This will ultimately lead to a survey of the present literature on radiation therapy as used for ABCs.

"Background: REFLECT was a retrospective, non-interventional study conducted in eight countries, including eleven sites from Romania, on patients with advanced stage non-small cell carcinoma (NSCLC). Aim: To characterize clinical outcomes, treatments and the proportion of T790M EGFR mutation testing in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) receiving first- or second-generation (1G/2G) epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs ) as first-line (1L) treatment in the Romanian cohort of an international study. Methods: Comprehensive data were retrieved from the medical records of ninety patients with EGFR-mutated advanced NSCLC treated with 1G/2G EGFR TKIs between January 2015 and June 2018. All analyses are descriptive. Results: The median age at lung cancer diagnosis in the Romanian cohort was 67.5 years, with 68% females. The distribution of EGFR TKIs was 50% erlotinib, 31% afatinib, and 19% gefitinib. First line treatment was stopped in 76 (84%) patients due to progression (79%), toxicities (3%), the patient’s decision (1%) or surgery (1%). The median progression- free survival on 1L treatment was 12.0 months (95% CI 10.3-15.6), and the median overall survival from the start of first line therapy was 26.4 months (95% CI 22.4-34.2). EGFR T790M mutation testing was performed on 69% of patients at the time of progression on 1L therapy, with 57% of patients testing positive. Second-line (2L) therapy was started in 63% of patients discontinuing 1L therapy. Third-line treatment was started in 50% of patients discontinuing 2L treatment. Conclusion: Survival results mirrored those of randomized trials. The suboptimal T790M testing rate (69%) underlines the importance of reflex testing procedures, while attrition rates on 1L (26%) emphasize the need for an upfront selection of the most effective treatments."

Nephroblastoma (Wilms tumour) is the most common kidney malignancy in children and one of the most frequent abdominal tumours diagnosed in pediatric patients. We present the case of a 2-year-old boy diagnosed with intermediate-risk, regressive-type nephroblastoma of the left kidney in 2010. He was treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by surgery and chemotherapy (following the International Society of Pediatric Oncology- SIOP protocol). After 11 months a metastasis was discovered in the left lungand the patient was (re)classified as being high risk and treated with seven cyclesof chemotherapy. After nine disease-free years, the routine follow-up chest CT scan showed a 10/5cm tumor in the left lung involving the pleura. The tumor was completely resected, and pathology confirmed a distal recurrence of nephroblastoma. The patient was further treated according to the UMBRELLA protocol (BB group) with chemotherapy and local irradiation. The tumor bed was irradiated with 25.2 Gy/14 fr, using Helical Tomotherapy. Following radiotherapy, hereceived a high dose chemotherapy and autollogus stem-cell transplant, with a good response and without disease recurrence.
