Spontaneous primary pneumothorax as a complication of neurofibromatosis type 1
Authors: Guerra Mariana , Farinha Inês , Marado Daniela
Published: October 2023

Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) is a genetic disorder that affects the skin and the neurological, ocular and skeletal systems. Many are unaware of the extent of pulmonary involvement, including lung cysts and emphysematous bullae, which enhances the risk of secondary spontaneous pneumothorax (SSP). We report the case of an 18-year-old male with NF1 who presented with acute dyspnoea and chest pain due to a right-sided pneumothorax caused by the rupture of lung apical bullae. The patient received supplemental oxygen and a chest tube of 18F was inserted, with a complete resolution of the pneumothorax. He was discharged on the third day of hospital stay. This case highlights the importance of considering SSP as a possible clinical manifestation and complication of NF1. Early recognition and appropriate management of this condition can prevent serious complications and improve patient outcomes.

Authors: Rentmeister Victor , Lorenzo-Villalba Noel , Gorur Yilmaz , Yerna Michele , Ali Deeba
Published: October 2023

Salmonella osteomyelitis is an underdiagnosed pathology with unusual clinical presentations. The patient was a 24-year-old female with no previous medical history who presented to the emergency department with progressive pain in the left arm for several months. She was initially treated unsuccessful with augmentin for 7 days for suspicious cellulites. Standard elbow X-rays described a lesion initially considered as metastatic. Investigations were completed with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) compatible with osteomyelitis. Following surgical sampling, salmonella enterica infection was diagnosed. The patient recovered full use of her limb after 8 days of IV antibiotic therapy with third-generation cephalosporin, and she completed 11 weeks of antibiogram-targeted PO fluoroquinolone therapy. Salmonella osteomyelitis could mimic other diseases, making diagnosis difficult.

Published: October 2023

This study aims to explain factors that influence people to continue disseminating the infodemic even when they have a high level of education. This research uses a qualitative approach with data mined using interview techniques and literature studies. The qualitative research gathered data through in-depth online interviews and literature studies. Key informants, including experts in Communication Science, Religion, Social Media, and Health, were interviewed using semi-structured interviews, allowing for flexible yet focused discussions. The study's findings identify 12 factors contributing to the continued spread of the infodemic, including social media ownership, a critical attitude towards information, information-seeking skills, emotional maturity in processing information, the demands of daily life, the frequency of social media use, social media friend networks, efforts to enhance digital literacy, a tendency to avoid seeking information clarification, a narrow interpretation of religious teachings, belief in conspiracy theories, and specific underlying motives. This research contributes significantly by shedding light on this pressing issue, offering insights crucial for formulating evidence-based policies and interventions to enhance digital literacy and effectively counter the infodemic. Future researchers should concentrate on investigating motive aspects. Moreover, rigorous statistical tests in quantitative research can also be considered to enhance the depth of analysis, providing a quantitative measure of the influence exerted by each identified factor.

Demographic, Clinical and Radiological Characteristics of Pediatric Cases Diagnosed As Transient Intussusception As A Result of Spontaneous Reduction
Authors: BAYKARA Aziz Serhat
Published: October 2023

Objectives: Transient intussusception (TI) is a condition in which part of the small intestine is identified to enter the anterior part of the intestine telescopically, but this condition spontaneously reduces during follow-up. The observation of this situation has increased with the widespread use of ultrasonography among diagnostic tools. In this study, the aim was to present cases of intussusception that resulted in spontaneous reduction in our clinic.

Materials and Methods: The records of cases diagnosed with intussusception between 01.01.2014 and 01.09.2022 were scanned. The files of the patients who were diagnosed with TI as a result of observation were investigated. Age, gender, clinical findings, duration of admission, ultrasonography findings, treatment options and results were analyzed retrospectively.

Results: A total of 71 cases diagnosed with intussusception included 50 males and 21 females, with a mean age of 22.3 months. Intussusception was ileo-colic in 36 patients, ileo-ileal in 32 patients, and jejuno-jejunal in three patients. Clinical observation with physical examination and ultrasonography (US) was performed in 33 (21%) patients with SBI who did not have signs of peritoneal irritation and had short segment involvement. Surgical reduction was performed in four patients because intussusception persisted after observation. Control US performed on the remaining 29 patients showed that intussusception disappeared. The age range of 29 patients diagnosed with TI ranged from 10 to 122 months (mean 46.2 months). Of the cases, 19 (65.5%) were male and 10 (34.4%) were female. The length of the invaginated segment ranged from 1-2.2 cm (mean 1.8 cm).

Conclusion: Spontaneous reduction of SBI, which does not have acute abdominal findings and progresses with short segment involvement on US, may occur during clinical observation. For this reason, close follow-up of suitable cases that may develop spontaneous reduction is important to avoid unnecessary surgical interventions and consequences.

Niosomes are more stable and economical than liposomes. In previous studies, conventional niosomes have shown advantages for transdermal delivery of bioactive compounds from rice bran. The objective of this study was to compare nanovesicle formulations (conventional niosomes and pH-sensitive niosomes) containing oryzanol (OZ) and rice bran oil (RBO). The formulation parameters were varied for the types of model drugs (OZ pure compound and RBO), the content of RBO loading (low, medium, high), and the types of niosomes (conventional niosomes and pH-sensitive niosomes). The physicochemical properties, e.g., vesicle size, size distribution, zeta potential and oryzanol content, were investigated. The stability of nanovesicles during the incubation period from Day 1 to Day 90 was observed. The in vitro skin permeation of the niosome formulation was demonstrated and calculated from the skin permeation flux and the permeability coefficient. The results indicated that the OZ- and RBO-loaded nanovesicle formulation had nanoscale vesicles (under 205 nm) and a narrow size distribution (0.22-0.55). The OZ content in the formulation was up to 300 µg/mL. The RBO-loaded nanovesicle formulations were stable at 4 and 25 °C for 90 days and 40 °C for 30 days. The skin permeation parameters of pH-sensitive niosomes were significantly higher than those of conventional niosomes at a flux of 16.56 ± 3.37 µg/cm2/h and a permeability coefficient of 0.0542 ± 0.011 cm2/h. These results suggest that pH-sensitive niosomes can be promoted and used as drug delivery carriers for rice bran oil.

Published: October 2023

The present study aimed to develop and evaluate methodologies of yacon root processing for the production of whole juice, syrup and flour. The physicochemical and color attributes of the derivatives were evaluated through the parameters L*, b*, h. C. ANOVA and Tukey’s test were used to analyze the obtained data, at a 5% significance level. The bleaching treatment was effective in the preparation of the juices by keeping the color coordinates constant and preserving the physicochemical characteristics. Regarding the color coordinates, the syrup with citric acid presented a higher L* value, which indicates greater clarity than the others; a h value near 90°, which indicates greater proximity to the yellow color; and a higher C value, which reveals greater color purity. The pie flour presented high crude fiber content and, together with the control syrup, the highest ash content. The syrup with the antioxidant citric acid presented the best color coordinates and a pH close to 4.5, which makes it the best yacon derivative among those analyzed in this study.

To meet the growing demand for early fatal disease screening among large populations, current fluorescence detection instruments aiming at point-of-care diagnosis have the tendency to be low cost and high sensitivity, with a high potential for the analysis of low-volume, multiplex analytes with easy operation. In this work, we present the development of a miniaturized, high numerical aperture confocal fluorescence scanner for sub-micro-liter fluid diagnosis. It is enhanced with high-rate analyte accumulation using a pyroelectro-hydrodynamic dispensing system for generating tiny, stable sample droplets. The simplified confocal fluorescence scanner (numerical aperture 0.79, working distance 7.3 mm) uses merely off-the-shelf mass-production optical components. Experimental results show that it can achieve a high-sensitive, cost-efficient detection for sub-micro-liter, low-abundant (0.04 µL, 0.67 attomoles) fluid diagnosis, promising for point-of-care diagnosis.
Multilevel holographic encryption based on the Tiger Amulet concept
Authors: Ji ZhongYe , Chang Jun , Wang JunYa , Wu YuNan , Liu Yang , Jiang HuiLin
Published: October 2023

Optical holographic encryption (OHE) has been extensively researched in the field of information security due to its parallel and multi-dimensional characteristics. However, although some progress in OHE has been made in recent years, inherent security flaws resulting from the robust nature of holograms persist. In this study, we propose a multilevel holographic encryption method based on the Tiger Amulet (TA) concept. Compared with the normal OHE, our method employs two ciphertexts. It strategically utilizes the low-level plaintext as intentional deceptive content to confound the potential eavesdroppers. Furthermore, we ingeniously exploit the hologram’s robustness in reverse, thereby establishing an additional protection mechanism to enhance the security of the middle-level plaintext. Leveraging the TA concept, the high-level plaintext can only be decrypted when two matched ciphertexts are combined and collimated. The TA based decryption mechanism enhances the security and sensitivity deciphering high-level plaintext. Benefiting from the security mechanisms above, our proposed method demonstrates promising applicability across diverse scenarios and holds the potential to redefine the landscape of multilevel OHE design.

Probabilistic graphical modelling of early childhood caries development
Authors: Ugolini Alessandro , Porro Francesco , Carli Federico , Agostino Paola , Silvestrini-Biavati Armando , Riccomagno Eva
Published: October 2023

In order to develop a statistical model for complex interactions among factors affecting early childhood caries development (ECC), 234 children from the “XXXX oral growth longitudinal study” were analysed at ages 3, 4 and 5. A questionnaire for children’s parents (clinical history, nutritional and oral hygiene habits) and clinical oral examinations were recorded each year. The probabilistic dependence structure on the most significant factors was modelled with an Undirected Graphical Model (UGM or Markov random fields) which provides a probabilistic reasoning approach for the establishment of multi-way associations. The best fitting UGM was estimated through the maximum likelihood principle and two-way factor associations were verified through Fisher’s exact statistical hypothesis tests for count data. The effect of sugar intake on caries incidence is mediated by oral hygiene; for caries incidence, oral hygiene quality is more relevant than toothbrushing time; the effect of pacifier on caries incidence is statistically significant only when considered in combination with breastfeeding time. Among behavioural ECC risk factors, the quality of oral hygiene, and not the toothbrushing frequency, is a primary factor that modulates the sugar intake in his primary role of the ECC developer. School-based oral health programs for ECC prevention should be improved with supervised toothbrushing program. UGM analysis could improve the school-based oral health programs with more effective and efficient prevention strategies based on the hierarchical interactions among the ECC risk factors. Oral hygiene plays a pivotal role in early childhood caries and can modulate positively or negatively their development. Supervised toothbrushing is a crucial intervention to be included in the daily educational and clinical practice and in the school-based oral health promotion programs.

This study aims to restore grating lobe artifacts and improve the image resolution of sparse array ultrasonography via a deep learning predictive model. A deep learning assisted sparse array was developed using only 64 or 16 channels out of the 128 channels in which the pitch is two or eight times the original array. The deep learning assisted sparse array imaging system was demonstrated on ex vivo porcine teeth. 64- and 16-channel sparse array images were used as the input and corresponding 128-channel dense array images were used as the ground truth. The structural similarity index measure, mean squared error, and peak signal-to-noise ratio of predicted images improved significantly (p < 0.0001). The resolution of predicted images presented close values to ground truth images (0.18 mm and 0.15 mm versus 0.15 mm). The gingival thickness measurement showed a high level of agreement between the predicted sparse array images and the ground truth images, as indicated with a bias of -0.01 mm and 0.02 mm for the 64- and 16-channel predicted images, respectively, and a Pearson’s r = 0.99 (p < 0.0001) for both. The gingival thickness bias measured by deep learning assisted sparse array imaging and clinical probing needle was found to be <0.05 mm. Additionally, the deep learning model showed capability of generalization. To conclude, the deep learning assisted sparse array can reconstruct high-resolution ultrasound image using only 16 channels of 128 channels. The deep learning model performed generalization capability for the 64-channel array, while the 16-channel array generalization would require further optimization.

Cengklik Reservoir is one of the tourist attractions in the Boyolali area. Functionally, the Cengklik reservoir is used as a water reservoir or storage area as well as a source of water for the needs of the surrounding community and to supply rice fields. Based on observations, the reservoir has decreased in function, namely seepage is found. One of the methods applied for the handling of seepage is the foundation structure in the form of a diaphragm wall. Observations were started by collecting data (pumping test data and drawings of the diaphragm wall structure). The results obtained for the total diaphragm wall foundation with a depth of 16 m with a depth of excavated soil of 16 m. Specifications for the diaphragm wall plan with a land area of 375m. Diaphragma wall (slurry wall) is a type of plastic concrete retaining wall with a foundation that has very strong rigidity, low vibration during construction, and has a waterproof function. Diaphragama wall provides less seepage effect than other methods such as secant pile. The secant pile only has the same use but differs in area. Cut off wall is a method of excavation work, surrounded by excavated land such as a guide wall. Insulation or retaining water flow on large dam foundations is usually done by the Cut of wall method. This method is suitable for excavation work which is quite deep and dense soil area

Bump feature detection of the road surface based on the Bi-LSTM
Authors: Lyu Haiyang , Xu Ke , Jiao Donglai , Zhong Qiqi
Published: October 2023

The road network is the basic facility for transportation systems in the city. Every day, a large number of vehicles move on the road and exert different pressure on the ground, which leads to various problems for the road surface, such as the bump features of the road surface (BFRS). However, traditional methods, such as detecting BFRS manually or with professional equipment, require a lot of professional management and devices. Based on the mobile sensor and the bidirectional long short-term memory (Bi-LSTM), a detection method for BFRS is proposed. The BFRS detection method proposed in this article solves the problem that other BFRS detection methods cannot detect large area road surface efficiently and provides an algorithm idea for efficient detection of large area road surface BFRS. The mobile phone with multi-sensors is carried on vehicles, and the BFRS information is logged during the movements. The orientation of the mobile is computed according to the gyroscope. The actual posture of the acceleration sensor is adjusted with the reference coordinate system, whose z-axis is vertical to the ground. This article uses the adjusted acceleration data as the training dataset and labels it according to time stamps and videos recorded by the driving recorder. Finally, the Bi-LSTM is constructed and trained, followed by the BFRS detection. The results show that it can detect BFRS in different regions. The detection accuracy of the campus section and the extended experiment was 92.85 and 87.99%, respectively.

The effect of microwave pretreatment and moisture levels of Camelina sativa seeds on the quality of extracted oil by cold press was investigated. The seed moistures were adjusted to 2.5%, 5.0%, 7.5%, and 10.0% and pretreated with microwaves for 0, 1, 2, and 3 min. Microwave pretreatment (3 min) of the seeds with 2.5% moisture increased the oil extraction yield by ∼11% compared to the control sample. The highest amount of acidity (0.564 g FFA·g−1 oil), peroxide value (2.4 meq O2·kg−1 oil), carotenoid (5.26 mg·kg−1 oil), and browning index (0.710) were found in the oil extracted from seeds with 10% moisture and 3 min microwave pretreatment. The total phenolic compound was increased by microwave pretreatment but was mitigated by the seed moisture content, and the highest amount (208.24 mg caffeic acid·100 g−1 oil) was observed at 3 min microwave pretreatment of the seeds with 2.5% moisture. Chlorophyll content decreased by both microwave pretreatment and seed moisture content in camelina oil. Generally, the fatty acid composition of the extracted oils was not affected by the seed pretreatments. In conclusion, pretreatment of the camelina seeds before oil extraction is suggested to obtain a high oil extraction yield with a good quality oil.
Molecular dynamics study on dynamic interlayer friction of graphene and its strain effect

Published: October 2023

This study delves into the mechanism of dynamic sliding friction between layers of graphene and its strain effect, through numerical analysis using molecular dynamics simulations. To eliminate the influence of commensurability and edge effect, a friction pair model with annular graphene as a slider is established. The research explores the quantifying effects of temperature, normal load, sliding velocity, support stiffness, and axial strain on the friction between graphene layers. The coupling effect of temperature and other influencing factors is also clarified. The results indicate that the interlayer friction increases with normal load by decreasing the interlayer spacing and increasing the atomic vibration amplitude. The ploughing phenomenon does not appear since the edge effect is eliminated by the model. Friction is initially enhanced at higher sliding velocities, but is later reduced by severe residual deformation and lattice resonance frequency. The support stiffness regulates interlayer friction by affecting the atomic vibration amplitude of the graphene lattice. Mechanism analysis shows that the number of effective contact atoms increases under axial strain, and the lattice vibration frequency is the main way to regulate the interlayer friction by strain effect. Our findings provide a fundamental understanding of the strains engineering of nanoscale friction and reveal the influence mechanism of affecting factors on the dynamic friction of graphene.
Weak Decisionism and Political Polytheology: The Neutralization of Carl Schmitt’s Political Theology by Hans Blumenberg and the Ritter School
Authors: Griffioen Sjoerd Laurens Victor
Published: October 2023

In this article, I explore the liberal–conservative reception of Carl Schmitt’s political theology in post-war West-Germany. By focusing on the work of prominent members of the Ritter School – Hermann Lübbe, Ernst-Wolfgang Böckenförde, and Odo Marquard – and on the contributions of Hans Blumenberg, I will demonstrate how Schmitt’s thought was appropriated and critically inverted, in order to provide theoretical support to liberalism. This project of liberalizing Schmitt involved developing a “weak decisionism,” which avoids the state of exception, providing a liberalist reading of Schmitt’s Hobbes-inspired narrative on the origin of the modern state and even formulating a “political polytheology.” Finally, this article offers a reflection on “political theology” as a conceptual field. I argue that the liberal–conservative, “neutralizing” reading of Schmitt is to some extent already available as an option within this framework, and I conclude that this finding problematizes Schmitt’s own dualistic antagonism.
The Role of Epistemic Trust in Mentalization-Based Treatment of Borderline Psychopathology

Published: October 2023

Building on the notion of epistemic trust as facilitating social learning, in this article we clarify how interventions from mentalization-based treatment (MBT) for borderline personality disorder generate this process. We suggest first that being mentalized is a critical cue in interactions to establish epistemic trust and second that epistemic mistrust may represent a final common pathway through which aversive relational experiences in the past may exert their influence on treatments—both as a disposition of the patient and as a characteristic of the therapist-patient encounter. By charting MBT interventions from the initial assessment and formulation, through individual and group therapy sessions, to re-engaging with the wider social environment, we examine how each of these can establish a “we-mode,” an interpersonal experience associated with being mentalized that unlocks the barrier posed by epistemic vigilance. In addition, implications for relational mentalizing and rupture and repair within the therapeutic relationship are discussed.
Mapuche Socioeducational Knowledge: An Ambivalent Relation with School Learning
Authors: Quilaqueo-Rapiman Daniel , Mora-Guerra Gloria , Torres-Cuevas Héctor , Riquelme-Mella Enrique
Published: October 2023

This manuscript discusses the impact of colonialism on indigenous peoples' education, specifically focusing on the Mapuche people. Highlights how the Chilean State's actions, such as the occupation of Mapuche territories and the imposition of its education system, have led to socioeducational and cultural ambivalence within schools. This ambivalence arises from the disconnect between Mapuche students' family-based education and the ignorance of teachers regarding their cultural background. The text explores the tension between different types of knowledge and emphasizes the need for intercultural dialogue and recognition of indigenous epistemes within the education system searching for a more inclusive and intercultural approach to education.
Publishing Via Social Media Sites and The Civil Liability of the Publisher in The Jordanian Legislation
Authors: Migdad Mohammad Ali Mohammad Bani
Published: October 2023

This study showed the adequacy of the legal regulation of civil liability resulting from publishing via social media sites, and it also showed    the lack of legal texts that dealt with this subject, which raises many problems. Then the study dealt with the issue of civil liability for publishing via social media sites in the Jordanian law:  the concept of civil liability, whether contractual or tort, the provisions of this responsibility, and then the pillars of civil liability (error, damage, and causal relationship). This study discussed the legal protection for electronic publishing and the compensation due, with the obligation to pay compensation and the consequences of it. The study concluded that it is necessary to conclude an international agreement that regulates the relationship to solve the problems that occur when the actual location of the data that led to electronic violations is in one country and the victim is in another. The Jordanian legislator is responsible for clearly and explicitly regulating the procedures affecting the sanctity of private life, by enacting a law regulating electronic publishing through social media sites. The law must regulate the amount of fair compensation commensurate with the electronic damage
Aggressive Behavior in Children with Intellectual Limitations from The Teachers' Perspective
Authors: Ahmad Jihan Aloshi Sayid
Published: October 2023

The current study aimed to identify the level of aggressive behavior of mentally limited children from the teachers' point of view in and to determine the nature of the differences between the average responses of teachers of mentally limited students in diagnosing the level of aggressive behavior due to a variable gender, academic qualification and years of experience. The study sample consisted of (100) male and female teachers from the category of mentally retarded children in Jerusalem. They were chosen by a simple random method using the aggressive behavior scale. The results concluded that the level of aggressive behavior came to medium degrees, that is, the presence of aggressive behavior among children with mental limitations from the teachers' point of view. The behaviors came in order: aggressive behavior towards oneself, aggressive behavior towards others, aggressive behavior towards objects and possessions, and verbal aggressive behavior. The results also showed no statistically significant differences at the significance level (0.05??) in the averages of teachers' responses to diagnosing the level of aggressive behavior. The results also show children with mental limitations in Jerusalem due to gender, educational qualification, and years of experience.
