Authors: Osanloo Mahmoud , Yousefpoor Yaser , Alipanah Hiva , Ghanbariasad Ali , Jalilvand Mohammadreza , Amani Amir
Published: August 2022

Cancer is a fatal disease that causes around 9 million deaths annually in developing and developed countries worldwide. Recently, natural products as alternatives for chemical agents have become a growing area of interest. Essential oils (EOs) are secondary metabolites of the plant, with a wide range of bioactivities, such as the anticancer effect. The present systematic review attempts to collect and document the recent studies from 01.01.2016 to 12.31.2020, indicating EOs as anticancer agents in in-vitro studies; data of 144 reports have been extracted. Anticancer effects of 187 distinct EOs on 112 cell lines were summarized; this is a valuable bank for researchers finding proper EO as an anticancer agent. Some EOs having comparable effects with conventional drugs have been suggested. These EOs are good candidates for further studies, such as in-vivo investigations.
Exploring a New Teacher Education Frontier: A Narrative Inquiry of High School Students’ Conceptions of Teaching
Authors: Davis William
Published: August 2022

K-12 school experiences, and the conceptions of teaching they help to shape, have long been found by teacher educators to hinder teacher learning. Despite these allegedly harmful experiences and conceptions of teaching, teacher education has crept into secondary schools in the form of teacher academies and teacher career exploration courses. The purpose of this exploratory narrative inquiry is to inform teacher education work with high school students by working towards a more developed understanding of their conceptions of teaching. Five high school students considering teaching careers participated in this study, which included three interviews per participant and participant submitted artifacts. My analysis revealed six paradigmatic categories: teaching as interpreting situations; discerning approaches, routines, and patterns; relating to teachers and learners; coping with dependencies; prioritizing beliefs and motivations; and merging various factors together. Implications of the findings for teacher learning and high school-based teacher education are discussed.
Anomaly Detection of Servomotors Subject to Highly Accelerated Limit Testing
Authors: SHIBUTANI Tadahiro
Published: August 2022

Companies utilize highly accelerated limit testing (HALT) to ensure efficient product development by accelerating loading conditions in the qualification process. The aim of qualitative accelerated testing such as HALT is to properly identify early behavioral anomalies. To this end, this study utilizes machine learning techniques for detecting anomalies in servomotors in electronic products subjected to HALT. A case study was conducted using a programmable robot kit with 12 servomotors. HALT comprises five types of stress: thermal conditioning (cold and heat), rapid thermal change, vibration, and combined stresses. The anomalous behavior of a servomotor can be identified using a k-nearest neighbor algorithm and verified by inspection using the loading conditions and electrical responses. In addition, anomalous behaviors among servomotors and a control board are assessed using a Gaussian graph model approach. Changes in the Gaussian graph are assessed as anomaly scores using Kullback–Leibler divergence. The anomaly score increased earlier than the operating limit defined by inspection, i.e., the deviation from the initial position of the shaft. The machine learning algorithm successfully identified the failure precursor of the unit. The proposed approach of HALT with the machine learning algorithm supports prognostic health management of servomotors.

SPIRITUAL AND RELIGIOUS PRACTICES IN THE CONTEXT OF DISPOSAL OF THE DEAD AND ITS IMPACT; A PERSPECTIVE
Authors: Anju Verma
Published: August 2022

India is a country of diverse cultures with various religious beliefs. People's religious right is protected under Article 25
and Article 26 of the Constitution of India. Spirituality states that only the body dies but the soul remains unborn,
immortal, and infinite. It also believes in the theory of reincarnation and attaining Nirvana (the ultimate liberation from
birth and death cycle). It is a root cause of practicing various death rituals depending upon age, gender, marital status,
religion, and how the death had happened. But few socio-cultural practices create conflict and overburden the
concerned authority which somehow cannot be overlooked. Practices related to performing the last rite including
disposal of the dead have created some issues in the field of legal medicine as well as for concerned authorities.We must
find an alternative way to cope with these issues.

Published: August 2022

منذ ظهور مفهوم صناعة المكان في تسعينات القرن العشرين، اخذ المفهوم يكتسب اهتماما متزايدا من قبل المهتمين والعاملين في مجال تخطيط المدن، وقد مثل هذا المفهوم تحولا مهما في الفكر التخطيطي في العالم المتقدم كونه يركز على خلق فضاءات ملائمة للناس وملبية لاحتياجاتهم في مقابل تركيز التخطيط الحضري الحديث على تخطيط المباني والبنى التحتية، بما مثل تحولا كبيرا في عملية التخطيط الحضري. فأصبحت مشاريع صناعة المكان جزءا مهما في تخطيط المدن، وظهرت جهات مختلفة من منظمات او شركات او مكاتب استشارية مهتمة بالمجال التخطيطي والتي تبنت مفهوم صناعة المكان في انحاء كثيرة من العالم.
في مقابل هذا الاهتمام العالمي الكبير بمفهوم صناعة المكان فأن هنالك قصور معرفي كبير في مفهوم صناعة المكان وانواعه وهو ما مثل مشكلة البحث، وجاءت فرضية البحث التي ترى بأن اختيار نوع صناعة المكان الملائم يعتمد على السياق الذي يوجد فيه، وكان هدف البحث هو بناء إطار معرفي عام عن مفهوم صناعة المكان وانوعه.
 
 Since the emergence of the concept of placemaking in the nineties, the concept has gained increasing attention by those who work in the field of urban planning. The concept has represented an important shift in planning practice in the developed world as it focuses on creating spaces that are suitable for people and accommodative to their needs, as opposed to modern urban planning that focuses on the planning of buildings and infrastructure, which was a transformation concept in the urban planning process. The projects of place making have become an important part in city planning, and many organizations, companies or consultation groups in many parts of the world adopted the concept of place making.
In contrast to this great global interest in the concept of place making, there is a great knowledge deficiency about the concept of place making and its types, which represent the research problem. The research hypothesis was that: choosing the appropriate type of place making depends on the context in which it is located. The aim of the research was:
 - Building a general knowledge framework about placemaking and its types.

Published: August 2022

Reconstruction of loss of substance of the lower third of the leg, the heel and the forefoot is a real problem. New knowledge of the cutaneous vascularization, emanating from the neurovascular axes, has led to the discovery of new cutaneous flaps, including the sural neurocutaneous flap. It is a good alternative for the coverage of moderate losses of substance of the heel and the lower third of the leg. The aim of this retrospective study is to report our experience and to evaluate the reliability of the weaned sural neurocutaneous flap in the coverage of the lower third of the leg. This study took place in the Department of Plastic, Reconstructive and Burn Surgery of Al Kortobi Hospital in Tangier, Morocco. This is a retrospective study including six patients with skin loss of the lower third of the leg and in whom coverage was performed by sural neuro cutaneous flap, the study period was between March 2021 and June 2022. Six patients were included in this study, there were 3 males and 3 females, their age ranged from 19 to 60 years with an average age of 40 years. In the series studied, the origin of the loss of substance was predominantly tumoral (2 cases of squamous cell carcinoma and 1 case of synovial sarcoma) and post-traumatic (2 cases). The location of the loss of substance is predominantly on the right side compared to the left side. Their location is distributed as follows: the heel (1 case), the lower 1/3 of the leg (2 cases), the dorsal aspect of the foot (1 case), the lateral malleolus (1 case) and the medial malleolus (1 case). There are many techniques for the management of loss of substance of the lower limb: directed healing, pedicled flap, or even free flap. Reconstruction of loss of substance of the lower limb by pedicled flaps is now a good therapeutic choice. The sural neurocutaneous flap is recognized as a flap whose dissection is technically uncomplicated and which makes it possible to cover significant loss of substance in the lower limb.

Effect of Prednisolone Premedication on Postoperative Pain after Single Visit Endodontic Therapy: A Randomized Controlled Trial part (XIII)
Authors: Benkhalil Adnan Mahmoud , Alfied Rmdan G.
Published: August 2022

This study was designated to evaluate the effect of Prednisolone as premedication in controlling post-endodontic pain after single visit treatment of acute irreversible pulpitis using in a randomized controlled trial. 40 Mandibular Molar teeth were treated using Revo S system, Patients were asked To sign a printed consent and obligated the patient to fill the pain diary 6,12,24 hours after root canal treatment. The patients were randomly divided into 2 groups: experimental group (A): prednisolone 40 mg and control group (B): placebo. The pain was measured using VAS measurement, a triple blind randomized study used to minimize bias and to allow sufficient comparison between groups. The outcome of this study showed that Prednisolone resulted in statistically significant reduction in post endodontic pain at 6, 12 hours post operatively which was considered as large and moderate effect size respectively. At 24 hours postoperatively; Prednisolone group didn’t seem to differ significantly from placebo group with small effect size and this is may be due to prednisolone half life is from 3 hours to 4 hours. So, in absence of contraindications for corticosteroid administration, the use of single-dose prednisolone appears to be a safe and effective method to reduce postoperative pain. It is possible that these favorable results might help to prevent post-endodontic pain.
Intertribal Land Conflicts and Implications on Development in Balikumbat Sub-Division, North West Cameroon
Authors: Valery Ngwogeh , Tiafack Ojuku , Roland Ndi
Published: August 2022

The quest for scarce land resources in Balikumbat Sub-Division has created rivalry over abundant borderland resources between some five villages for over four decades (1980s-2020). To diagnose this issue, this paper focuses on inter-tribal land conflicts and its implications on the development of Balikumbat sub division. The study seeks to identify and spatialize the different zones/villages in Balikumbat Sub-Division where inter-tribal land conflicts are inherent in a bid to examine the causes of these conflicts so as to assess its implications on the development of this municipality. The methodology used entailed field observations, questionnaires administration, interviews and focus group discussions. Existing literature provided an important starting point for further analysis of the extent of the problem under consideration. The findings have un-earth the fact that the main inter-tribal land conflicting hot spots constitute areas rich in fertile soils. Besides, economic motives, long historical legacies, political and social motives are the leading causes for the scramble over fertile farmlands across some village boundaries in Balikumbat Sub division over time and space. The implications of these conflicts are felt mainly in the socio-economic sector. The agricultural sector ranks first with about 50% drop in agricultural output as large parcels of land are left idle due to entrenched conflicts. The peasant populations have been displaced with massive destruction of property, crops, livestock and even lives. The efforts made by the government and these local communities in the past to resolve these conflicts have yielded very little success because conflicts have remained a common idiosyncrasy as they resurface often. These findings suggest the need for intensive sensitisation to the natives of Balikumbat on the importance of owning land certificates. This may limit verbal and traditional land ownership opening flood gates for a more sustainable land ownership.
Explaining the Relationship between Fascist Pluralism and Modernity
Authors: Khandagh Najleh , Rezaei Siavash Mohammad
Published: August 2022

Fascism is a fluid and unknown phenomenon in the world of politics and especially in the field of governance, a phenomenon whose nature; despite all the efforts of theorists and thinkers in the field of political and social sciences, remains in an aura of ambiguity. Fascism is like a mirror room in allegory, every essence that is placed in it is lost in thousands of images of its kind and this confusion is the same populism that the idea of fascism seeks in different social strata as its destination. In this article, we try to provide general results from the origins of fascism; its characteristics and patterns of behavior, especially in the field of pluralism and how it treats modernity, by providing explanations of fascism research, to finally find out which political component or components fascism with such a fluid nature seeks to achieve. In a sense, the purpose of this article is to investigate and explain the relationship between fascist institutions and modernity and how to use its indicators. The research method of this article is descriptive-analytical which has explained the subject with an interpretive-critical approach. The analysis of this article is based on a systematic method based on the keywords of fascism and modernity.
The Use of Herbal Medicines for Allergic Rhinitis
Authors: Ramadhani Prisya Dhiba
Published: August 2022

Allergic rhinitis (AR) is an immunoglobulin E–mediated illness that causes inflammation of the nasal mucosa. In recent years, the global incidence and prevalence of AR has been increased. AR has been treated with antihistamines, intranasal corticosteroids, decongestants, intranasal anticholinergics, intranasal cromolyn, leukotriene receptor antagonists, and immunotherapy. However, because many of the present medicines have documented negative side effects, there is a need to look for more effective and safer alternatives. Herbal therapy has long been used to treat the symptoms of AR, but its usefulness and safety have not been validated scientifically. In this review, recent research on the use of herbal medicine as a treatment for allergic rhinitis is collated and critically analyzed. From 2016 to 2021, the data was gathered mostly from English language publications published in journals or research from Pubmed databases. "Herbal medication" and "Allergic Rhinitis" were the terms or keywords used to discover relevant studies. This literature study may be useful in determining the potential utility of herbal medicine as a treatment for allergic rhinitis, determining the underlying mechanisms of action, and identifying natural product candidates for the development of innovative anti-allergic rhinitis drugs in the future.
Anticancer action of plant products: changing stereotyped attitudes
Authors: Sak Katrin
Published: August 2022

Compared to humans, plants can synthesize an extremely diverse array of chemical compounds, including phenolic acids, flavonoids, stilbenes, lignans, terpenoids, alkaloids, and many other types of secondary metabolites that have been demonstrated to exert important bioactivities and impacts on the human health. As a result of extensive and sustained efforts, some phytochemicals like vincristine, vinblastine, and paclitaxel have already been approved as anticancer drugs today, while several others are under clinical trials. However, despite this remarkable success, studies on anticancer action of plant-derived products have been and paradoxically are still in some places, mixed up with alternative approaches and thereby considered non-credible, especially in regions where the role of traditional medicine has not been historically so prevalent as in several Asian countries. As a result, only about 10% of higher plants have been explored regarding the potential therapeutic effects of their constituents. Moreover, as one function of secondary metabolites includes the protection of plants against diverse environmental stresses, the content and composition of these phytochemicals might importantly vary between different regional habitats. Therefore, the stereotyped attitudes to plant products as something related to alternative medicine must be changed to identify new lead molecules for novel anticancer drugs. It is possible that plants still harbor an important spectrum of pharmaceutically interesting, but still unidentified, chemical compounds.

It was found was that the smallest average percentage difference of 4.26 % was measured for straight inlet channel’s width between the actual mould and the computer-aided design (CAD). The average coefficient of variance (CV) for all micropump components dimensions was 3.22. It was found that the SLA 3D printing reduced manufacturing time and costs by 30.43 % and 82.84 % respectively in comparison to the standard SU-8 mould. In conclusion, SLA 3D printing technology is a viable alternative to master mould fabrication in self-infusion micropump production since it accurately reproduced the design from the CAD input.

Evacuated blood collection tube (BCT) or also known as Vacutainer® is a device which accumulate negative pressure as a function of vacuum to collect blood as a specimen for pharmaceutical analysis. Nevertheless, BCT consist of three (3) components which is transparent tube, rubber stopper, and hemogard closure. Study of vacuum on BCT has become interest in many researchers about its consistency due to effect by its surrounding condition. In this research, impact of storage temperature will be studied to identify the effect of vacuum content within BCT, also to investigate the problem and seek proper (surrounding) placement for these BCT. At the same time, it should develop with a new benchmark vacuum volume (negative pressure) inside BCT aiming to obtain the standardise figure. This BCT should be placed under temperature condition between 4°C to 25°C as suggested by BD-Vacutainer® company and under certified humidity condition are ranged between 40% to 60%. It is to ensure the pharmaceutical device which is sterile and consist of shelf life does not deplete its properties drastically and sustain its life span as recommended based on technical data sheet. Thus, the amount of negative pressure in BCT presentively indicate as a shelf life.
Hamartiology: An Akan Perspective
Authors: Peprah Augustine Kojo
Published: August 2022

Hamartiology, a branch of theology dealing with the nature and effects of sin is orally preserved in the Akan religious thought but not documented as they exist in Islam and Catholicism. Authors of African Traditional Religion have contributed to the problem when they wrote briefly on sin and reconciliation only in relation to other topics. This article uses the literary approach, specifically secondary sources to elucidate on the Akan concept of sin to dispel the notion that Africans have no or poor concept of sin. Issues like, what is sin? the evaluation of sin, conditions necessary for the forgiveness of sin and the effects of sin and reconciliation among the Akan would be illuminated. The findings and discussions on the problem elucidate that, the Akan have a profound harmatiology. The Akan perceive sin as a stain. The Akan morality has aesthetic value. Sin is a transgression against God and humanity. Sin from the Akan perspective is classified into serious and less serious wrongdoings. Three conditions necessary for the remission of sin among the Akan are, acceptance of guilt, confession of sins committed and penance, reparation of sins. Reconciliation restores the penitent to full communion with the divine and humanity. The paper fills the vacuum created that the Akan has poor harmatiology because it is not documented. It also serves as reference material on harmatiology from the Akan perspective.

Exponentially Amplified Magnetic Field Eliminates Disk Fragmentation around Population III Protostars
Authors: Hirano Shingo , Machida Masahiro N.
Published: August 2022

One critical remaining issue that is unclear in the initial mass function of the first (Population III) stars is the final fate of secondary protostars that formed in the accretion disk—specifically, whether they merge or survive. We focus on the magnetic effects on the formation of the first star under a cosmological magnetic field. We perform a suite of ideal magnetohydrodynamic simulations for 1000 yr after the first protostar formation. Instead of the sink particle technique, we employ a stiff equation of state approach to represent the magnetic field structure connecting protostars. Ten years after the first protostar formation in the cloud initialized with B
0 = 10−20 G at n
0 = 104 cm−3, the magnetic field strength around the protostars has amplified from pico- to kilo-Gauss, which is the same strength as the present-day star. The magnetic field rapidly winds up since the gas in the vicinity of the protostar (≤10 au) has undergone several tens of orbital rotations in the first decade after protostar formation. As the mass accretion progresses, the vital magnetic field region extends outward, and magnetic braking eliminates the fragmentation of the disk that would happen in an unmagnetized model. On the other hand, assuming a gas cloud with a small angular momentum, this amplification might not work because the rotation would be slower. However, disk fragmentation would not occur in that case. We conclude that the exponential amplification of the cosmological magnetic field strength, about 10−18 G, eliminates disk fragmentation around Population III protostars.

The aim of current study was to determine, retrospectively, possible correlations between smoking and the incidence, course severity, intubation rate, and mortality (by gender and age) in patients treated for complicated coronavirus infection in the internal medicine clinic at UMHATEM ”N. I. Pirogov” Sofia for the period 01.03.2020–31.12.2020. In a prospective study, the recovery period and immunogenesis in smokers and non-smokers within a one-year period after hospital discharge was investigated. The applied methods were: 1) computed tomography and blood gas analysis 2) chemiluminescent immunoassay for the qualitative determination of total IgM, IgA and IgG anti-SARS-CoV2 AB. Results showed that the part of non-smokers with a positive PCR test is significantly higher compared to the group of former and current smokers. The data obtained from the study confirmed that Covid infection is much more severe among smokers and former smokers with a higher levels of inflammatory markers noticed among the smoking group.

In 2020, the health status of urban forests in Etropole and Pravets municipalities was monitored based on remote sensing data and field assessment. The study provides information for early detection and identification of pests and pathogens causing damage in different forest types. Three forest stands were assessed: Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris) plantation near the town of Etropole, European beech (Fagus sylvatica) natural stand near Etropole Monastery, and Quercus spp. coppice stands in ‘Nebesnite Pasbishta’ forest park near Osikovitsa village. In two sample plots (town of Etropole and Osikovitsa village), remote sensing data were obtained by a ‘Parrot Sequoia’ multispectral camera integrated with a specialized professional system eBee ‘Flying Wing’. Normalised difference vegetation index (NDVI) was assessed by digital mixing of imagery, captured in the red and near-infrared range. It was established that the Scots pine plantations were weakened, with NDVI values between 0.66 and 0.75. The oak stands in the area of Osikovitsa village were in better health condition (NDVI mainly 0.79-0.98). Symptoms of diseases and pest damage were found during the field verifications. Severe deterioration caused by the invasive fungal pathogen Dothistroma septosporum had destroyed the pine plantation near Etropole. The pathogen caused premature needle defoliation, resulting in loss of timber yield and, in severe cases, tree death. In oak stands, damage was caused mainly by the invasive insect pest – oak lace bug (Corythucha arcuata). In Fagus sylvatica forests damage was caused mainly by abiotic factors (snow and wind), and wood destroying fungus Fomes fomentarius.

This paper reports the finding of a new financial chaotic system. A new control law for completely synchronizing the new financial chaotic system with itself has been established using adaptive integral sliding mode control. We also find that the new financial chaotic system has fascinating traits including symmetry, equilibrium points, multistability, Lyapunov exponents and bifurcation diagrams. We illustrate all the main results of this research work using MATLAB phase plots. The Lyapunov characteristic exponents and analysis using bifurcation diagrams have resulted in a new financial chaos system showing chaos phenomena in the intervals of parameters 0 < a < 15, and parameters 0 < b < 0.25. The results of this study can be used to predict if there is chaos in financial risk. Chaotic systems have many applications in engineering like cryptosystems and secure communication systems.

Published: August 2022

With the development of medical informatization and against the background of the spread of global epidemic, the demand for automated chest X-ray detection by medical personnel and patients continues to increase. Although the rapid development of deep learning technology has made it possible to automatically generate a single conclusive sentence, the results produced by existing methods are not reliable enough due to the complexity of medical images. To solve this problem, this paper proposes an improved RCLN (Recurrent Learning Network) model as a solution. The model can generate high-level conclusive impressions and detailed descriptive findings sentence-by-sentence and realize the imitation of the doctoros standard tone by combining a convolutional neural network (CNN) with a long short-term memory (LSTM) network through a recurrent structure, and adding a multi-head attention mechanism. The proposed algorithm has been experimentally verified on publicly available chest X-ray images from the Open-i image set. The results show that it can effectively solve the problem of automatic generation of colloquial medical reports.
