Role of PET-choline in the diagnosis of an hyperfunctioning cervical-mediastinal parathyroid adenoma: a case report of a multi-fracturative normocalcemic hyperparathyroidism
Authors: di Filippo Luigi , Pajoro Ursola , Giubbini Raffaele , Giustina Andrea
Published: July 2024

ormocalcemic primary hyperparathyroidism is a recently distinguished form of Primary hyperparathyroidism and it is mostly caused by an hyperfunctioning parathyroid adenoma. It has been consistently associated with skeletal and renal complications, and, therefore, a proper radiological diagnosis of the hyperfunctioning adenoma is crucial in patients affected. Here we report a case of a patient affected by normocalcemic primary hyperparathyroidism and a severe osteoporosis complicated with multiple fragility fractures, highlighting the role of PET-choline in the diagnosis of an hyperfunctioning cervical-mediastinal parathyroid adenoma not previously localized with conventional imaging. KEY WORDS: PET-choline, normocalcemic hyperparathyroidism, osteoporosis, fractures, parathyroid adenoma.
Curbing Corruption, Bribery, and Money Laundering in public procurement processes: An international Perspective
Authors: Magakwe Jack
Published: July 2024

Corruption, bribery, and money laundering represent some of the most pervasive and damaging global issues facing societies today. Corrupt and illicit activities erode trust in public institutions, hinder economic growth, and fuel organized crime. This chapter will delve into the multifaceted challenges of corruption, bribery, and money laundering globally and explore the various strategies and initiatives to combat them. The chapter reflects on understanding the complexity of corruption, bribery, and money laundering from a global perspective. During the past century, many scholars conducted research focused on anti-corruption measures, but limited attention was devoted to exploring why corruption and money laundering still increase despite the strong legislative and institutional capabilities to curb corrupt practices. This chapter also explores the ability of AI as a tool to curb corruption and minimize the risk factors of corruption in various institutions globally. It was recommended that comprehensive due diligence and risk mitigation practices should be implemented together, engaging in collective action, advocating for policy reforms, and supporting initiatives that strengthen the rule of law to prevent bribery and money laundering.
Enhanced Cross-Dock Productivity: Combining Self-Driving Vehicles with Forklifts
Authors: Natarajan Saravanan , H. Bookbinder James
Published: July 2024

A cross-dock (CD) in a supply chain avoids storing goods that would be picked for orders soon after. Vehicles inbound to the CD are unloaded and their contents are re-sorted. Appropriate items are then loaded within a short time on outbound vehicles for shipment to customers. The CD material handling operations of unloading, sorting and loading are typically done “manually”, by forklifts with human operators. In this chapter, we consider the replacement of some or many forklifts by “Self-Driving Vehicles” (SDV). Can the resulting semi-automated material handling system attain the same or greater productivity as the fully manual system? At what cost (per unit of output)? We develop simulation models of two CDs, one purely manual and the other containing a mixture of forklifts and SDVs. Several CD performance measures are defined and estimated via simulation. For each CD, response surface methodology is employed to determine a near-optimal set of material handling equipment, when that CD is operated at a specified performance level.

Published: July 2024

In computational chemistry and drug development, in silico docking has become an indispensable tool for investigating the molecular interactions between ligands and receptors. The procedures and approaches used in in-silico docking to decipher the complex dynamics of molecular binding processes are highlighted in this chapter. The first section of the chapter explains the basic ideas behind molecular docking, focusing on the function of scoring functions and algorithms in ligand-receptor interaction prediction. The benefits and drawbacks of several docking techniques—such as flexible docking, rigid-body docking, and other docking methods—are thoroughly covered. In addition, the challenges associated with conformational flexibility, solvent effects, and ligand desolvation that arise during in-silico docking are explored. Molecular dynamics simulations and ensemble docking techniques are investigated as ways to improve the precision and dependability of docking predictions. Furthermore, using in silico docking in virtual screening, structure-based drug design, and drug discovery highlights how important it is to speed up the drug development process and reduce experimental expenses. A thorough review of in silico docking techniques is given in this chapter, along with an examination of its methodological complexities, theoretical underpinnings, and real-world uses in drug discovery and computational chemistry.
Inclusive Innovations: Promoting Digital Equity and Inclusion through Technological Solutions
Authors: Emmanuel Olawale Babawande
Published: July 2024

The prevalence of digitalization, both within and outside the education sector, has been progressively growing in recent decades. The COVID-19 pandemic has also highlighted the importance of having adequate technology resources and well-defined strategies for teaching and learning with digital technologies. This became evident as educational sectors transitioned to digital distance learning when educational institutions were forced to close and alter their traditional practices. As such, the pandemic exposed the extent and scope of digital disparities and exclusionary behaviors that hindered the progress of certain students, especially those already disadvantaged. Thus, given that access to digital infrastructure and technologies continues to be a difficult principal concern for all nations, this chapter examined how digital equity and inclusion in technological solutions can engender inclusive innovations in higher education institutions in two traditional South African universities. Research findings revealed that digital equity and inclusion are crucial for revolutionizing educational practices by ensuring equal opportunities, empowering underrepresented communities, fostering digital citizenship, closing the gap in access to technology, training staff, and students, and offering fair learning experiences for all the relevant stakeholders in the higher education institutions.

Authors: Huang Zhenyi , Wu Eliza
Published: July 2024

This study examines the impact of corporate social responsibility considerations in corporate acquisitions. We illustrate how the difference in environmental and social performance between the target and acquirer prior to a deal influences the acquirer’s subsequent changes in these aspects post deal. By analyzing a large dataset of M&A transactions in the U.S., we find a positive impact of the pre-deal gap on the acquirer’s post-deal improvement in environmental and social performance. Our findings will support the learning theory of merger integration. Overall, our study highlights the significance of corporate social responsibility in major firm transactions and the pivotal importance of learning and capability transfer in the M&A integration process.
Integrating Omics Approaches for Abiotic Stress Tolerance in Plants
Authors: Morsy Amal , El-Sherif Nahla
Published: July 2024

Plants are exposed to a variety of challenging abiotic stress pressures such as salt, drought, waterlogging, heat, oxidative stress, and heavy metals. An in-depth understanding of how plants respond to abiotic stress from the molecular side view is an important criterion for its actual management. Abiotic stress tolerance is a complicated phenomenon that includes many interacting steps such as signal recognition and an array of subsequent responses in a signal transduction pathway. This multitude of reactions necessitates evidence at the omics level to comprehend it properly. Enormous advance has been made in the field of omics in different areas such as genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics, phenomics, and ionomics. These advanced approaches generate multifaceted data that can shed some light on what is going on inside the plant cells. For instance, functional genomics deals with the relation between the genome and the phenotype, this relation is highly affected by environmental abiotic stress conditions. For effective analysis of the huge amount of data generated from the omics approaches, advancement in bioinformatics and computational tools have been exploited. This review summarizes the advances in omics tools, both traditional and recent, comprising QTL mapping for abiotic stress tolerance, genome-wide association studies (GWAS) and genomic selection (GS) used to examine the mechanisms of abiotic stress tolerance in plants.
Aspects Regarding a Deep Understanding of the Prediction for Stock Market Movements
Authors: Xuemei Hu
Published: July 2024

It is an important puzzle in the financial market to predict stock return movement direction. In this chapter, we not only propose (group) penalized logistic regression with multiple indicators to predict up- or downtrends, but also propose group penalized trinomial logit regression with multiple indicator groups to predict stock return movement direction: uptrends, sideways trends and downtrends. For the former, we construct the corresponding coordinate descent (CD) algorithm to complete variable selection and obtain parameter estimator, and introduce two-class confusion matrix, Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) and the area under a ROC curve (AUC) to assess two-class prediction performance. For the latter, we develop a rapidly convergent group coordinate descent (GCD) algorithm to simultaneously complete group selection and group estimation, introduce the relatively optimal Bayes classifiers to identify class indexes, and finally adopt three-class confusion matrix, Kappa, PDI, ROC surface and hypervolume under the ROC manifold (HUM) to assess three-class prediction performance.

Published: July 2024

In the Industry 5.0 paradigm, systems based on artificial intelligence are an important component of the Internet of Things. Industry 5.0 demonstrated the important link between intelligent systems and people in most applications through precision manufacturing automation and critical thinking. In addition, Industry 5.0 brings with it several valid tools that help organizations operate cheaply and change immediately without capital investment. In recent years, smart devices, wireless communication, and sensor nodes have advanced greatly, transforming Internet of Things (IoT) ecosystems. With IoT devices, users can receive information even in rural areas and generate unbounded reports. Also, as previously mentioned, they meticulously guide people with intelligent judgments through communication technology. Many connected devices collect significant amounts of detected raw data when they require pre-processing. Although, it hardly becomes valuable for IoT devices and sufficient resources require Edge computing. AI-based algorithms are essential tools for data inference in Edge computing. In addition, observed data collected by IoT applications is usually unstructured and needs further analysis, where AI-based models help extract relevant information. Furthermore, malicious files are possible when data are transferred from one device to another. Therefore, this chapter looks at Industry 5.0, IoT architecture, and AI-based IoT; we analyze the IoT network and its specifications; communication is possible thanks to technologies.

Published: July 2024

Introduction: In the United States, more chronic and preventive healthcare is being delivered in the emergency department (ED) setting. Understanding the availability of preventive health services in the ED setting is crucial. Our goal was to understand the availability of a subset of preventive health services in US EDs and explore how that has changed over time. Methods: In 2022–2023, using the National Emergency Department Inventory (NEDI)-USA, we surveyed a random 20% (1,064) sampling of all 5,613 US EDs. We asked directors of these EDs about the availability of and preference for 12 preventive health services, social worker availability, self-reported percentage of uninsured ED patients, and measures of ED crowding. We also asked about perceptions of barriers to implementing preventive health services in the ED. We used unadjusted and multivariable logistic regression models to compare service frequency in 2022–2023 to prior ﬁndings from 2008–2009 that represented a 5.7% random sampling of all EDs. Results: Among 302 responders to the 2022–2023 survey (5.4% random sampling, 28.4% response rate), 94% reported offering at least one preventive health service, with a median of ﬁve services. The most common service offered was intimate partner violence screening (83%), while the least common was routine HIV screening (19%). Seven services (eg, intimate partner violence, alcohol risk, and smoking cessation screening) had a higher odds of being offered in 2022–2023 than in 2008–2009; ﬁndings were unchanged in sensitivity analyses. A small proportion of directors opposed offering preventive health services. However, many expressed concerns that preventive health services in the ED would lead to longer lengths of stay (56%), increased costs to their ED (58%), a diversion of staff time from providing acute care (50%), or that their patients would not have access to adequate follow-up (49%). Conclusion: Nearly all EDs offer at least one preventive health service. Many offer multiple services; rates were higher than those identiﬁed in 2008–2009, in both unadjusted and multivariable models. Although limited by the response rate, this work provides the most recent and comprehensive snapshot of the type and frequency of a subset of preventive health services currently offered in US EDs.

Authors: Berkenbush Michael , Singh Lali , Sessa Kelly , Saadi Raghad
Published: July 2024

Introduction: The use of push-dose vasopressors to treat anesthesia-induced hypotension is a common evidence-based practice among anesthesiologists. In more recent years, the use of push-dose vasopressors has transitioned to the emergency department (ED) and critical care setting. There is debate on the best choice of a push-dose vasopressor, with push-dose epinephrine or phenylephrine being more commonly used. This scoping review evaluated publications regarding the clinical use of push-dose norepinephrine. Methods: We queried research studies in both PubMed and Google Scholar on the use of push-dose norepinephrine in human subjects, with numerous randomized controlled trials that compare norepinephrine to other vasopressors including phenylephrine, ephedrine, and epinephrine. Results: A large majority of the studies were performed in the setting of spinal anesthesia prior to cesarean section, while several involved the administration of general anesthesia, with limited-to-no literature in the emergency and critical care setting. Of the 27 studies that we included in the review, 17 were randomized controlled trials. These studies demonstrated that norepinephrine was safe and effective. Conclusion: Prior research has demonstrated the superiority of norepinephrine as a pressor of choice for various shock states. In this review, the safety and efﬁcacy of push-dose norepinephrine is demonstrated, and favorable hemodynamic markers are shown in comparison to other agents. In addition, there are some safety and efﬁciency beneﬁts to using push-dose norepinephrine from an administration standpoint, as well as clinically in decreased need for repeat doses. Further high-quality studies in the emergency and critical care realm would be beneﬁcial to conﬁrm these ﬁndings.

Published: July 2024

Заболевания кожного покрова у домашних плотоядных животных считаются трудноизлечимыми, поскольку клинические признаки при диагностике различной этиологии могут быть похожими, а иногда даже могут повторяться. Кроме того, многие патологические процессы, связанные с инфекционным началом, бывают настолько сложны по своей природе, что лечебные мероприятия проводимые могут длиться от нескольких недель до месяца, то есть до выздоровления. В зависимости от этиологии возникновения дерматиты имеют различные виды. Наиболее распространенными принято считать: дерматиты паразитарной этиологии (чесотка), заразного характера (микроспория), и другой природы (аллергические), кожные заболевания, вызванные гормонами, летние дерматиты и другие. Полнота сведений о динамике и интенсивности патологического процесса крайне необходима для контроля и управления инвазией у животных.
In Defense of Two Ethical Universals in Intercultural Communication
Authors: Kale David W. ,   Religious Speech Communication Association
Published: July 2024

Inasmuch as rhetoric involves the attempt to discover the available means of persuasion and one of the primary reasons for studying rhetoric is to protect oneself against those who would use unscrupulous means of persuasion, an important task in the development of rhetorical theory is that of providing a conceptual system which will permit us to determine the shoulds and oughts of rhetorical behavior. Just as individuals in society in general have limitations and restrictions on the ways in which they may treat other members of society, so the advocate must deal with limitations and restrictions on the rhetorical means that are employed in the art of persuasion. It is the role of ethical theory to inform our rhetoric as to just what those restrictions and limitations should be.
Women Priests in the Episcopal Church
Authors: Foss Sonja K. ,   Religious Speech Communication Association
Published: July 2024

This portion of a poem by Alia Bozarth-Campbell, written after her "irregular ordination" as a priest in the Episcopal Church on July 29, 1974, summarizes the challenge to the Church and its response concerning a major tenet of its belief system—that women should not be priests. The irregular ordination of eleven women on that date marked a turning point in a conflict within the Church over whether or not to allow women to be priests. A challenge to a tenet of a religious system has the potential to weaken or even destroy the entire system—a system that is often one of the strongest and most influential belief systems that human beings have. Thus, an examination of the Church's response to the conflict perhaps can reveal general strategies for coping with conflict in other contexts.
The Rational Force of Clarity
Authors: Paul Elliot Samuel ,   Saint Louis University
Published: July 2024

Descartes holds that when you perceive something with perfect clarity, you are compelled to assent and cannot doubt. (This is a psychological claim.) Many commentators read him as endorsing Psychologism, according to which this compulsion is a matter of brute psychological force. I show that, in Descartes’s view, perfect clarity provides a reason for assent—indeed a perfect reason, which precludes any reason for doubt. (This is a normative claim.) Furthermore, advancing a view I call Rational Force, he holds that the normative claim explains the psychological one: since your will is naturally responsive to reasons, you are compelled to assent because you have a perfect reason to assent. This coheres with his view that will is essentially active, self-determined, and free. The force that clarity exerts on the will is not the brute push of an efficient cause, but the rational pull of a final cause.

Pocket closure is a critical aspect of cardiac implantable electronic device (CIED) implantation procedures. Pocket infection is the most feared complication of CIED.The more complex CIED system implanted, the higher is the risk of infection. This observational study, conducted between July 2017 and June 2023, aimed to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of pocket closure using single absorbable 3 layers subcuticular suture Vicryl 3-0 in patients undergoing CIED implantation. A total of 564 consecutive patients were included in the study, with pocket closure performed using three layers of single continuous absorbable subcuticular suture Vicryl 3-0 and followed up on average of 3 years and 2 months. Postoperative outcomes, including the incidence of pocket site infections, device salvage success rate, and device explantation incidences were assessed. Results demonstrated a low incidence of pocket site infections (3.75%) and device explantation (0.34%), with satisfactory device salvage rates (81.9%) among infected cases with overall procedural success of 99.64 %. These findings support the safety and efficacy of pocket closure using absorbable subcuticular sutures in reducing postoperative complications and optimizing outcomes following CIED implantation.

There are various methods to improve vehicle performance, including by blending fuels. In addition to bioethanol that can increase octane rating, there is the use of additives in vehicle fuels that are known to increase octane rating. With the addition of additives such as octane boosters and bioethanol, it is expected to increase the degree of ignition, reduce knocking, achieve more complete combustion, and automatically increase vehicle power.This study aims to analyze the power and torque of a four-stroke motorcycle by considering the addition of bioethanol and octane boosters to Pertamax fuel. Experimental method was used with variation of bioethanol concentration and octane booster in fuel as test parameters. This study provides insight into the potential for power improvement in the use of Pertamax fuel on four-stroke motorcycles through the addition of bioethanol and octane booster. The implications of these findings can serve as a basis for the development of more efficient and sustainable fuels for four-stroke motorcycles.
Kültürel ve Yaratıcı Endüstriler Çağında Sanat Emeği
Authors: Ulusoy Tolga
Published: July 2024

Sanat emeği kavramı günümüzde sanatın ve sanat üretiminin gittikçe ticarileşmesi, piyasalaşması ve güvencesizleşmesi ile beraber daha önemli hale gelmeye başlamıştır. Bu makalede çağdaş sanat emeği süreçlerinin iki üretim alanına bölündüğü iddia edilmektedir. Bu üretim alanlarından ilki sanat dünyalarını kapsamaktadır, diğeri ise kültürel ve yaratıcı endüstrileri içermektedir. Günümüzde sanat emeğinin bu ikiye bölünmüşlüğü bazı farklılıklara yol açmaktadır. Sanat emeğinin, sanat dünyası ile ilişki içerisindeki süreçleri yaratıcılık ve özgünlük temelli olarak yaratıcı emeğe yakınlaşırken; kültürel ve yaratıcı endüstriler kapsamında kalan sanat emeği süreçleri zanaat emeği ile ilişkilenmektedir. Bu makale bağlamında kültürel ve yaratıcı endüstriler kapsamında kalan sanat emeği süreçlerine daha fazla odaklanılacaktır.
Makale ilk olarak sanat emeği kavramının gelişimine odaklanmaktadır. Bu bağlamda hem sanat kavramının hem de emek kavramının büyük bir dönüşüm geçirdiği post-Rönesans dönemdeki süreçlere tarihsel olarak değinilecek ve sanat emeği kavramının ortaya çıkışındaki uğraklar ön plana çıkartılacaktır. Sanat emeğinin ortaya çıkışı öncesinde uzun bir süre sanat ile zanaat arasında temel bir ayrım yapılmamıştır bu yüzden sanat emeği tartışırken zanaat emeği kavramı da önemli bir kavram olmaktadır. Sonrasında sanat kavramının ideolojik üstünlüğü ele geçirmesi ile beraber Alman idealist felsefesinin estetik kavramı ve bu bağlamda oluşan estetik emek kavramı ilk değinilecek unsur olacaktır. Burada özellikle Hegel’in emek, kültür ve sanat alanında kurduğu ilişkiler oldukça önemli bir yer kaplayacaktır zira bu kavramsal çerçeve bugün dahi etkili bir düşünme çizgisini oluşturmaktadır. Sonrasında Marx’ın emek kavramına getirdiği eleştiriler tartışılacak, yabancılaşmış emek ile sanat emeği arasındaki ilişkiler sorgulanacaktır. Sanat emeğine dair bir diğer önemli uğrak ise otonomcu Marksist felsefe onların ortaya attığı maddi olmayan emek kavramıdır. Bu noktada kavramsallaştırmalar içerisine yaratıcı emek kavramı girmiş olacaktır. Nihayetinde kültürel ve yaratıcı endüstriler çerçevesinde ortaya çıkan sanat emeğinin günümüzde gittikçe daha fazla zanaat emeği ile bağlantılı olduğu iddia edilecektir.
Bu teorik izleklerin ardından makalenin yazarını hazırlamış olduğu doktora tezinden yola çıkılarak elde edilen veriler makalenin sorunsalı olan sanat emeği çerçevesinde yeniden değerlendirilecektir. Bu makalede kültürel ve yaratıcı endüstriler içerisinde sanat emeğinin güvencesizlik, düşük ücret ve geçinememe, zaman organizasyonuna dair sorunları tartışılacaktır.

Congenital malformation of the heart stands as one of the most common congenital anomalies at birth. However, with the advancement in cardiovascular medicine and surgery, a majority of the children can nowadays still live for about 20 years. Unfortunately, the prolonged survival has its own consequences and many children face late complications among which heart failure and arrhythmias are predominant. The burden of congenital heart pathology looms large on the pediatric population mortality and morbidity statistics. While a number of endovascular procedures have been conceived as a substitute for surgical correction, percutaneous interventions have shown positive outcomes in many cases — all this without the stress and trauma associated with surgery especially for frail children. Our aim was to provide a review to look into possibility and effectiveness of endovascular procedures plus Internal prosthetics for managing pediatric patients with congenital malformation of the heart.

Employing statistical measures such as the Coefficient of Determination (R²), F-statistics, and the Durbin-Watson statistic. Incorporating variables such as foreign technical cooperation (FTECH), foreign grants (FGRANT), official development assistance (FODA), multilateral foreign aids (MFAID), and exchange rates (EXR), the study employs time-series data from the World Bank Development Indicators and a modified regression approach. The analysis seeks to delineate the complex dynamics between external financial inputs and internal fiscal outcomes over the period from 1981 to 2021. The findings reveal a nuanced landscape where foreign aid, though impactful, does not singularly dictate fiscal changes, suggesting a need for broader, more inclusive economic strategies that leverage both external and internal resources. Augmented Dickey-Fuller (ADF) tests confirm the stationarity of these variables, validating their reliability in modeling economic impacts. The ARDL bound test results indicate no long-term sustainable relationship between foreign aid components and public expenditure growth, pointing to a more nuanced interaction between foreign aid inflows and Nigeria’s fiscal strategies, whether expansive or restrictive.

According to the World Health Organization (2023), 2.6 million people die annually due to preventable adverse events in hospitals. This data is still underestimated, as the study evaluated only 150 countries. Each year, out of the 19.4 million people treated in hospitals in Brazil, 1.3 million experience at least one side effect caused by negligence or recklessness during medical treatment. In 2021, the Federal Council of Medicine reported that 92% of colleges do not meet at least one of the three parameters deemed ideal for the proper operation of medical courses. Every hour, three medical error lawsuits (The National Justice Council states that 3 medical error lawsuits are filed every hour) are filed in Brazil, and medical culpability finds practical and doctrinal differences at civil and criminal levels. The implementation of evidence-based medicine can reduce the numbers indicated and to this end, supported by the medical literature, the practitioner has the opportunity to contain the error and, as a consequence, the accounting of deaths and unexpected events using the exact science for that. The research thus recommends strategies to reduce avoidable errors and calls for stricter penalties for gross error.
