Ocular Adverse Effects of TNF-α Inhibitors in the FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS)
Authors: Katsiaunis Apostolos Katsiaunis , Lipner Shari
Published: August 2024

Autoimmune inflammatory diseases affect 7.6-9.4% of the global population, predominantly women. TNF-α inhibitors (TNFI) have revolutionized rheumatic disease treatment but are associated with serious ocular adverse events (AEs). We analyzed FAERS data for adalimumab, etanercept, and infliximab (1998-2024), documenting patient demographics and the top 10 ocular AEs for each TNFI. Of the 45,445 reported ocular AEs, 66.6% were in females and 50.3% were in adults aged 18-64. The most common AEs included visual impairment (7,093), cataract (5,730), and blurred vision (5,586). There were 2,271 reports of blindness. The distribution of AEs was similar across adult age groups but rare in pediatric patients and those over 85. A review by da Silva et al corroborates our findings, identifying uveitis, optic neuropathy, and retinal toxicity among others. FAERS data showed 1,927 uveitis cases linked to adalimumab, 1,054 to etanercept, and 1,076 to infliximab. These AEs may result from TNF-α binding in ocular tissues, paradoxically causing and treating uveitis. Our study highlights the severity of ocular AEs with TNFI use, suggesting a need for vigilance in monitoring patients, especially given the potential for irreversible blindness. The limitations include voluntary reporting and underreporting in FAERS, underscoring the need for further research to better understand these risks.

Crystallization of organic substances from solution in the presence of laser light is a relatively new concept. In this work we describe a unique way of increasing of local concentration of para-nitroaniline (pNA) in 1,4 -dioxane by using strongly absorbed laser light leading to controlled crystal growth.he key process enabling this control is laser induced thermocapillary Marangoni effect, which on microscopic scale results in near surface liquid flows. These flows are due to strong temperature gradients, formed locally by light absorption of the laser beam as well as induced changes of surface tension. As a result a strongly saturated in pNA sesille droplet is formed whose position can be can be effectively steered by beam manipulation. Such an approach enables not only para-nitroaniline crystal growth inside droplet itself but also control over supplying saturated solution portions to the area in which crystallization takes place.

Reading strategies for success – what high-performing students in upper secondary school do when they read
Throughout the Swedish school curriculum from 2011, student employment of reading strategies to understand and interpret texts is emphasised. A relevant issue to address however is which strategies should be emphasised in educational contexts. This article aims to contribute empirically to knowledge on effective reading strategies by depicting how a group of successful readers describe how they go about reading non-fiction texts in a school context. The article draws on data from a study exploring the reading literacy of a class of high-performing students in the Swedish upper secondary school. The results reveal that the successful readers use a wide repertoire of reading strategies, and show metacognitive awareness both of their own ability, and of which strategies to use and when to use them. It is suggested that reading strategies should be practised in authentic reading situations where also textual awareness and genre awareness are considered important features for reading success.
Frågan som didaktiskt verktyg – en studie av textsamtal kring skönlitteratur i årskurs 6 och 7
Authors: Varga Anita
Published: August 2024

Tidigare forskning, bland andra Palincsar & Brown, 1984, och Pressley, 1992, har visat att frågeställande utgör ett viktigt didaktiskt verktyg för att främja elevers läsutveckling. Det saknas dock studier som specifikt fokuserar relationen mellan olika typer av frågor och dess lärandepotential. I föreliggande artikel studeras denna relation. Här analyseras frågan som didaktiskt verktyg med hjälp av empiri hämtad ur textsamtal i årskurs 6 och 7. Läsförmågan diskuteras med utgångspunkt i begreppet textrörlighet. Studien visar hur frågorna stödjer eleverna i att läsa på, mellan och bortom raderna, identifiera, tillämpa och befästa läsförståelsestrategier, formulera egna frågeställningar till text och läsprocess, motivera och belägga tolkningar samt internalisera ett ämnesrelaterat språk i det egna ordförrådet.
Questioning as a didactic tool - a classroom-study of literary text-talks
Within reading research the use of question formulation has been identified as an important didactic tool, Palincsar & Brown, 1984, and Pressley, 1992. This article is a contribution to investigations within this field. It studies the use of question-posing as a didactic tool based on empirical research carried out in two classes in grades 6 and 7. The study exemplifies the use of questions aimed to train pupils to read the lines, between and beyond them, to identify and establish reading-comprehension strategies, to formulate their own questions in relation to texts and reading-processes, to defend and verify interpretations and to internalize a meta-language within a personal vocabulary.

Ungdomars fiktionsvanor
Authors: Lundström Stefan , Svensson Anette
Published: August 2024

Denna artikel redovisar en enkätstudie utförd bland svenska tonåringar i åldern 17-18 år. Studien syftar till att kartlägga deras användning av fiktion i olika medieformer i kontexterna skola och fritid. Studien har en kvantitativ ansats och fokuserar på aspekterna medieringstyp, kön och studieinriktning. Resultaten visar att även om deltagarna läser skönlitteratur, tillbringar de mycket mer tid med fiktion i andra medieformer, såsom datorspel, tv-serier och film. Könsskillnader syns i att män spelar datorspel och kvinnor läser skönlitteratur i större utsträckning. Det finns få framträdande skillnader mellan elevgrupper med olika studieinriktning. Istället visar resultaten att skillnader i medieanvändning framför allt ska beaktas på individnivå, och att stora skillnader kan finnas inom samma skolklass. Resultaten diskuteras utifrån ett medieekologiskt och ett medialiseringsperspektiv i relation till utbildningssammanhang.
Young people's use of fictional texts
This article reports on a questionnaire study conducted among Swedish teenagers aged 17-18. The study aims to map out their use of fictional texts through various media forms in the two contexts school and recreational time. The study, which has a quantitative approach, focuses on mediation, gender, and study orientation, when exploring the media habits of Swedish teenagers. The results show that although the participants read fiction, they spend much more time using fictional texts in other media forms, such as computer games, TV-series, and films. Gender differences are visible in that men play computer games and women read literature to a greater extent. There are few prominent differences concerning the choice of educational programme. Instead, the results show that divergence should be considered on an individual level, and that large differences in media use can occur within the same school class. The results are discussed from a media ecological as well as a mediatization perspective, and in relation to an educational context.

The Fisetin on Anti-senescence of Hepatocellular Carcinoma Cell
Authors: Chen Jia , Shi Hongyu , Wei Feng
Published: August 2024

Liver cancer, as a global health issue, is of critical importance in termsal of treatment and prognosis. Quercetin, a flavonoid compound widely found in fruits, vegetables, and beverages, has become a research focus in recent years for its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-viral, and anti-tumor properties. Studies, especially on the inhibition of hepatocellular growth, the blocking of metastasis, and the regulation of cellular senescence mechanisms, have suggested that quercetin has potential therapeutic value. This article primarily reviews the progress of quercetin in the anti-senescence research of liver cancer cells. Studies have shown that quercetin can affect the proliferation, survival, and apoptosis of liver cancer cells through different molecular mechanisms. Firstly, quercetin can directly inhibit the growth of liver cancer cells by inducing cell cycle arrest at the G0/G1 or G2/M phases, and by upregulating pro-apoptotic proteins such as the caspase family and downregulating anti-apoptotic proteins like the Bcl-2 family, thereby promoting apoptosis of liver cancer cells. Secondly, quercetin can inhibit the invasion and metastasis of liver cancer cells, which may be related to its regulation of matrix metalloproteinase expression, significant in preventing distant metastases of liver cancer. Furthermore, quercetin can influence the biological behaviors of liver cancer cells by regulating related signaling pathways, such as PI3K/Akt, MAPKs, and NF-κB. In addition, quercetin exhibits a unique mechanism in regulating the senescence of liver cancer cells by promoting senescence through the activation of the p53/p21 and p16/Rb pathways. Finally, addressing the issue of quercetin's bioavailability, research has found that combining it with other drugs or improving the administration methods could enhance its therapeutic effect. In summary, as a multi-target natural compound, quercetin shows extensive potential in the treatment of liver cancer. However, its application in clinical therapy still requires further in vitro, in vivo experiments, and clinical studies to validate its effectiveness and safety.

Published: August 2024

This study aimed to investigate the relationship between the inflation rate and the price of building materials in Benin City to aid in mitigating the adverse effects of the inflation rate on the construction industry. The trend in the variables from 2017 to 2023 was investigated, and their relationship was assessed and determined using Spearman’s correlation and Regression analysis. Data on the inflation rate was collated from the Central Bank of Nigeria, while prices of the selected building materials were obtained from market surveys. Findings revealed that the inflation rate had the highest value in 2023, and the prices of the chosen building materials had an upward trend from 2017 to 2023. The yearly change in the variables revealed that a percentage increase in the inflation rate produced the highest increase of 3.34% in the price of 1.5mm single-coil cable and the lowest increase of 0.93% in the price of Granite. Correlation analysis indicated that the prices of the building materials had a direct relationship and an inverse relationship with the inflation rate. Regression analysis showed that for every unit increase in the inflation rate, the price of Granite would experience the highest increase by ₦5693. In contrast, the price of Sandcrete block would experience the lowest increase by ₦10. It was recommended that the Government provide an enabling environment that will promote the local production of building materials to reduce dependency on imports and the effect of inflation rate fluctuations.

It examined the annual changes in building material prices due to the inflation rate, the nature of the influence of the inflation rate on the prices of building materials and determined the relationship between the inflation rate and the prices of building materials within Ekpoma. Data on the inflation rate was collated from the Central Bank of Nigeria, while prices of the building materials were obtained from a market survey. Findings revealed that the inflation rate has the highest value in 2023, while the prices of the building materials had an upward trend from 2018 to 2023. From the annual change in the variables, a 1% increase in the inflation rate will lead to the highest growth in the prices of Cement by 4.63%. Correlation analysis revealed that some building materials had no relationship with the inflation rate, while the other materials had a relationship of varying degrees with the inflation rate. Regression analysis indicated that the price of 30 tonnes of Granite would experience the highest increase of ₦15961 for every unit increase in the inflation rate. It was recommended that the government exercise its political will to address the impact of the inflation rate on building material prices. This action will promote the provision of sustainable and affordable housing solutions.

This research aimed to examine the correlation between the inflation rate and the cost of roofing sheets in Benin City to help minimize the negative impact of inflation on the construction sector. The study analyzed the inflation rate and the prices of selected roofing sheets from 2017 to 2022, and the link between the inflation rate and the prices of these roofing sheets was determined using Spearman’s correlation coefficient and Regression analysis. Inflation rate data was sourced from the Central Bank of Nigeria, while the prices of the selected roofing sheets were gathered through a market survey. The study found that the inflation rate reached its peak in 2022. Additionally, the prices of the selected building materials showed an increasing trend from 2017 to 2022. Through the percentage deviation of the variables, it was established that a 1% rise in the inflation rate would result in a 5.27% increase in the price of Corrugated Zinc roofing sheet, a 6.79% increase in the price of Corrugated Zinc roofing sheet from Ghana, a 1.40% increase in the price of Shortspan Aluminium roofing sheet, a 3.16% increase in the price of Coloured longspan roofing sheet, a 4.93% increase in the price of Stucco longspan roofing sheet, and a 2.24% increase in the price of Stone coated roofing sheet. Correlation analysis confirmed the existence of a relationship between inflation and the prices of roofing sheets. Furthermore, Regression analysis indicated that the prices of Corrugated Zinc roofing sheets, Corrugated Zinc roofing sheets from Ghana, Shortspan Aluminium roofing sheets, Coloured Longspan Aluminium roofing sheets, Stucco Longspan Aluminium roofing sheets, and Stone Coated roofing sheets would increase by ₦65.73k, ₦57.89k, ₦63.97k, ₦193.2k, ₦286.6k, ₦62 respectively for every unit increase in the inflation rate. It was recommended that the Government should provide subsidies and tax incentives that will promote the local production of roofing sheets to reduce dependency on imports and effects from inflation fluctuations.
