Patterns and predictors of dental hospitalizations in patients with acquired brain injury from pre-injury to acute and post-acute injury
Authors: Azimi Somayyeh , Troeung Lakkhina , Martini Angelita
Published: October 2023

BACKGROUND: Acquired brain injury (ABI) can cause long-term disability and functional impairment. OBJECTIVE: This study aims to determine the prevalence of dental hospitalizations in an ABI cohort across different phases of injury and identify factors associated with such hospitalizations. METHODS: The cohort comprises patients with ABI (n = 683), traumatic (n = 282) and non-traumatic (n = 401) who were admitted to a neurorehabilitation service in Western Australia between 1991 and 2016. De-identified patient data were linked to the Hospital Morbidity Data Collection. The incidence of dental hospitalizations was calculated per 1,000 person-years (PY), and associated factors were investigated using multilevel mixed-effects logistic regression. RESULTS: Dental hospitalizations significantly increased from pre-injury (3.35/1,000PY) to acute injury (302.65, Δ+299.3) and remained elevated in the post-acute phase (23.98, Δ+20.63). Dental caries had the highest incidence rate among all diagnoses in the pre-injury and post-acute phases (0.68 and 8.93, respectively), followed by gingivitis and periodontal diseases (3.60) in the post-acute phase. Tooth extractions were performed more often than restorative and preventive treatment in the pre-and post-injury phase, p < 0.001. Dental hospitalizations were associated with the type of ABI, age at injury, remoteness, and history of pre-injury hospitalization. CONCLUSION: Implementing comprehensive preventive dental care can reduce potentially preventable dental hospitalization among ABI patients.

Authors: Zarin Bahareh , Nedaeinia Reza , Laher Ismail , Manian Mostafa , Javanmard Shaghayegh Haghjooy
Published: October 2023

BACKGROUND:

Hypoxia is the most common signature of the tumor microenvironment that drives tumorigenesis through the complex crosstalk of a family of transcription factors called hypoxia-inducible factors (HIFs), with other intercellular signaling networks. Hypoxia increases transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) expression. TGF-β and HIF-1α play critical roles in several malignancies and their interactions in melanoma progression remain unknown. Therefore, the aim of this study was to assess the impact of inhibiting activin receptor-like kinase-5 (ALK5), a TGF-β receptor, on the response to HIF-1α activation or inhibition in melanoma tumor progression.

MATERIALS AND METHODS:

Tumors were induced in C57BL/6J mice by subcutaneous inoculation with B16F10 melanoma cells. Mice were divided into HIF-1α inhibitor, ALK5 inhibitor (1 mg/kg) and HIF-1α inhibitor (100 mg/kg), ALK5 inhibitor, HIF-1α activator (1000 mg/kg), HIF-1α activator and ALK5 inhibitor, and control groups to receive inhibitors and activators through intraperitoneal injection. The expression of E-cadherin was evaluated by RT-qPCR. Vessel density and platelet-derived growth factor receptor beta (PDGFR)-β+ cells around the vessels were investigated using immunohistochemistry.

RESULTS:

The groups receiving HIF-1α inhibitor and activator showed lower and higher tumor growth compared to the control group, respectively. E-cadherin expression decreased in all groups compared to the control group, illustrating the dual function of E-cadherin in the tumor microenvironment. Vascular density was reduced in the groups given HIF-1α inhibitor, ALK5 inhibitor, and ALK5 and HIF-1α inhibitor simultaneously. The percentage of PDGFR-β+ cells was reduced in the presence of HIF-1α inhibitor, ALK5 inhibitor, HIF-1α and ALK5 inhibitors, and upon simultaneous treatment with HIF-1α activator and ALK5 inhibitor.

CONCLUSION:

Despite increased expression and interaction between TGF-β and HIF-1α pathways in some cancers, in melanoma, inhibition of either pathway alone may have a stronger effect on tumor inhibition than simultaneous inhibition of both pathways. The synergistic effects may be context-dependent and should be further evaluated in different cancer types.
Linking foreign direct investment, economic growth, energy consumption and ecological footprint in Vietnam: Evidence from quantile on quantile approach

Published: October 2023

Sustainable development should be seen as a top priority in designing economic policies in both developed and developing countries. To achieve this goal, besides focusing on economic growth, ensuring social justice, and respecting human rights, countries also need to pay attention to environmental protection. However, any country, including Vietnam, faces environmental and climate challenges when pursuing economic goals. This makes it difficult for policymakers to strike a balance and make appropriate trade-offs between economic activity and environmental protection. The study aims to explore the relationship between foreign direct investment, economic growth, energy consumption, and ecological footprint in Vietnam from 1986 to 2019. By applying a non-parametric analysis, empirical results from the quantile on quantile approach show that foreign direct investment, economic growth, and energy consumption have a positive impact on ecological footprint. However, slope coefficients are inconsistent at all quantiles. These findings provide important implications in attracting foreign direct investment and promoting economic growth to achieve the sustainable development goals for Vietnam.

Published: October 2023

In the digital era, data plays a pivotal role in the operational transactions of businesses across the globe. Along with human and capital resources, data is considered an invaluable asset for enterprises driving the success of business performance. Nevertheless, poor-quality data as inputs will negatively impact on the quality of the output and outcomes are the quality of decisions at individual, organizational, and corporate levels. Poor data quality will be a barrier for an enterprise to build an effective strategy and efficient management across its business function. Since the 1990s, businesses, and academic institutions in advanced economies such as the USA, France, Switzerland, Australia, and South Korea have focused on developing, implementing, and using data quality management systems to improve business operations. However, Vietnam has given less attention to data quality issues. This paper aims to summarize the introduction of data quality, the problems with data quality, and the impacts of poor data quality on operations at functional and strategic levels using the qualitative approach – literature synthesis and secondary data analysis. Thus, we propose some policy prescriptions for Vietnam’s industries and institutions alike.

Authors:   Foreign Trade University, Hanoi, Vietnam, Duong Viet Anh Nguyen
Published: October 2023

This article aims to systemize growth models and analyze the impacts of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) infrastructure development on the economic growth of Southeast Asian countries. Accordingly, growth models are developed with ICT inputs, including mobile cellular subscriptions, fixed telephone subscriptions, fixed broadband subscriptions, and Internet users. Using data from World Bank, the author collected 220 observations of 10 ASEAN members during the 2000-2021 period. To evaluate how ICT infrastructure factors affect the economies, the author used various panel analysis and estimation methods: Panel unit-root test, panel cointegration test, and the Generalized Method of Moments (GMM) estimator. The results showed that all the variables were stationary and had cointegration relationships. Additionally, the Ramsey test results showed that there were no omitted variables in the models, which proved the fitness of the models. The study found that 3 ICT variables significantly improved economic growth: mobile cellular subscriptions, fixed broadband subscriptions, and Internet users; while fixed telephone has negative effects on the sample. The author also found that economic growth is significantly improved by labor force, gross fixed capital formation, and trade openness. Theoretically, this article built a growth equation with a vector of different ICT factors, including Mobile cellular subscriptions, fixed telephone subscriptions, fixed broadband subscriptions, and Internet users. Furthermore, when using the system GMM estimator which controls bias such as endogeneity, heteroskedasticity and auto correlation, effects of explanatory variables on economic growth were significant. Practically, the research results provided an overview of the contributions of ICT factors to Southeast Asian economies, which are consistent with the current situation of ICT development in the region. From these results, the article gave policy implications for Vietnam in developing ICT aspects as well as in applying ICT in socio-economic activities.

Charity is an activity of mobilizing society’s resources for welfare and non-profit purposes. This is also an activity to show the spirit of solidarity and mutual love in accordance with the tradition of the VietNamese nation. However, charity is also a sensitive issue, creating conflicting opinions in society. Therefore, there is a need for a complete legal framework to regulate this issue. In China, philanthropy is also an activity in line with the traditions of the Chinese nation, but this activity is formal, professional, and charities are highly accountable, than VietNam. This is the result of the institutionalization and building of a complete legal framework for the Charity Act since 2016. This shows that China is one step ahead of VietNam in terms of legislative level in matter of charity. Besides, China is a country with a relatively close legal and cultural tradition to VietNam, so this is a good reference channel for VietNam's legislative issues. Within the scope of the article, the authors introduce the background of the 2016 China Charity Law, on the basis of which there is a comparison with the social context of VietNam today.

This study aims to identify the requirements for agricultural human resources to meet the requirements of transformation and adaptation to climate change in the Mekong Delta. The main methods used in this paper are literature review and statistical analysis, based on secondary data of the General Statistics Office for the period 2011 – 2021. The results show that agricultural production in the Mekong Delta has been severely affected by the negative impacts of climate change. In response to this situation, the government and people of the Mekong Delta have made changes in agricultural production to adapt to climate change. From the current situation of the agricultural sector transformation, it is evident that the Mekong Delta agricultural sector needs new production technologies that can provide both high productivity and better adaptation to climate change. Therefore, it is required that agricultural human resources can develop modern agricultural production technologies suitable for climate change, while at the same time can effectively implement these technologies. However, the technical expertise level of agricultural human resources is currently low and has not met the requirements of the transformation in agricultural production. Based on the theoretical foundation and practical requirements for agricultural human resources, this study proposes some solutions for education and training to develop agricultural human resources in the Mekong Delta to adapt to climate change in the coming period.

Published: October 2023

On the underpinning theory of the Resource Based Theory (RBT), this research examines the impact of corporate social responsibility and risk management capabilities on sustainable operation performance with the moderating role of digital transformation. The questionnaire in this study includes 29 items, and a random sampling technique was employed. The data was collected from 439 leaders and management-level employees working at manufacturing enterprises in Ho Chi Minh City. The collected data were analyzed using Partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) to validate the data and check the assumed relationships. The results showed that corporate social responsibility has a strong positive impact on the sustainable operation performance, followed by the risk management capabilities, which has the second strong positive impact on the sustainable operation performance. The results also show that digital transformation has both the third strongest impact on sustainable operation performance and also plays a regulatory role in increasing the level of positive impact of the above relationships. Based on the findings, several implications are suggested to help managers of manufacturing enterprises consider the regulatory role of digital transformation when implementing corporate social responsibility and managing risks, and henceforth, contributes to sustainable operation performance.
The status of current regulations on land users and comments to the draft amending land law
Authors:   Faculty of Commercial law – Hochiminh city University of Law, Vietnam, Luu Thai Quoc
Published: October 2023

The subject of land use (or land user) is the most important type of subject of land legal relations. Although land users do not have the right to own land, these subjects directly perform the act of exploiting and using land, which greatly affects the effectiveness of land coordination activities. In addition, because land is an indispensable element for all areas of social life, the subject of land use is also the subject of other legal relations, such as civil law, economic law, housing law… However, the current land law provisions and the revised Draft Land Law still have several limitations and inadequacies, especially the type of land user and the legal status of these subjects, making the regulation of land law lack of synchronization compared to other fields while the enforcement of the law faces many difficulties and obstacles. This not only affects people's property rights, but also makes the use of land for production and business investment less favorable than expected. For the purpose of contributing ideas for the completion of the revised Draft Land Law (Draft) in particular and the land law in general, this article will analyze the limitations and inadequacies of the current Land Law and the Draft on this issue to provide a complete solution.
Towards a Biblical Foundation for a Philosophy of Librarianship
Authors:   Andrews University, Robertson Terry
Published: October 2023

Within the discipline of library science, there are two themes that speak to both the philosophy of librarianship and that intersect with biblical teaching. These are “documentality” and “information literacy.” Both themes within the librarianship context emerge from and speak to the metanarratives of contemporary culture, particularly as they pertain to higher education. Documentality embraces the social values and practices underpinning the reification and commodification of human communication, from the mind of the author to publication, to distribution, to access. Information literacy, in turn, engages the social values and practices of the individual reader engaging with these authored products. Though this framing of the discussion with this terminology may be contemporary, I suggest that the themes proper are ageless, and have been addressed in Scriptures. Further, I suggest that the contribution on these themes from the Scriptures shapes a Biblically informed philosophy of librarianship.
Poetry, Sort Of: My Experience Using Library of Congress Subject Headings and the Supplemental List of Seventh-day Adventist Subject Headings
Authors:   Andrews University, Drazen Daniel
Published: October 2023

The Library of Congress Subject Headings, for all its seeming comprehension, has not always been up to the task of covering Seventh-day Adventist subject matter better than the Supplementary List of Subject Headings published by the Loma Linda University Libraries as used by the Seventh-day Adventist Periodical Index. More important, there has been, and continues to be, a need to coin new terms as they are needed. To rely primarily on one source for assigning index terms, however comprehensive it might seem generally, is too inflexible a strategy to be realistic. Relying on both the LCSH and the SLSH is the preferred method of indexing Seventh-day Adventist periodical articles.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of specialized Kyokushin karate exercises on the activity of leg muscles and the height of the medial longitudinal arch in adolescent girls with foot pronation. Methods: This study recruited twenty-four adolescent girls with foot pronation who voluntarily agreed to participate and were randomly assigned to either a training group (n=12) or control group (n=12). The training program consisted of eight weeks of specialized Kyokushin karate exercises. The fibularis longus, tibialis anterior, and lateral gastrocnemius muscles activity was measured during single-leg landing using surface electromyography. The medial longitudinal arch height was measured using the navicular drop test. All statistical analyses, including independent and paired t-tests, were conducted using SPSS software, version 26 at a significance level of 0.05. Results: The results showed that following eight weeks of specialized Kyokushin karate exercises, there was a significant increase in the activity levels of the tibialis anterior (P=0.005) and lateral gastrocnemius (P=0.04) muscles in the training group compared to the control group. However, there was no significant change in the activity of the fibularis longus muscle in the training group compared to the control group (P>0.05). Within the training group, there was a significant increase in the activity of all three measured muscles (fibularis longus, P=0.009; tibialis anterior, P=0.008; and lateral gastrocnemius, P=0.008) from post-test to pre-test (P<0.05). Additionally, the study found that the amount of navicular drop in the training group was significantly reduced compared to the control group (P=0.04) after eight weeks of training Conclusion: This study demonstrated that eight weeks of specialized Kyokushin karate exercises resulted in a significant increase in the activity levels of the tibialis anterior and lateral gastrocnemius muscles in adolescent girls with foot pronation. These exercises also improved the height of the medial longitudinal arch, indicating a potential solution for correcting flat feet. Therefore, we recommend Kyokushin karate exercises to improve muscle activity and arch height in adolescent girls with foot pronation.

Authors: Eslami Bita , Rostami Sahar , Zendehdel Kazem , Alipour Sadaf , Omranipour Ramesh , Nahvijou Azin
Published: October 2023

Background: Breast cancer (BC) screening and awareness programs are held annually for Iranian women by the collaboration of several governmental and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) organizations. We designed a study to assess the effect of the campaign on women's awareness, education, and the outcome of previously unnoticed breast lesions detected during the campaign screening program.
Methods: Through online social media announcements, women were invited to participate in this campaign held in five locations in the capital of Iran. Participants filled a questionnaire about personal data, previous breast problems, BC awareness and screening attitudes. BC screening was only performed via breast examination by surgeons for all women. We called all participants who required further investigation after two years.
Results: In this campaign, 418 women with a mean age of 43.19±49.11 were examined. About 42% had some information about BC, mainly acquired from the media. Among women over 50, 30.2% had no previous screenings, and 15.9% had not been referred despite having symptoms. Among the women who needed further investigations according to the campaign evaluation, 71.8% complied with the recommendation to follow-up their case, and two women were diagnosed with BC.
Conclusion: Women need more education in the field of BC awareness, and the need for screening; especially after the age of 50. To achieve these goals, using mass media is highly recommended and the experience of the successful campaigns held by a Charity organization and an academic center might be a good guide for preparing a comprehensive protocol.
Study Protocol to Quantify Breast-Chest Wall Motion in Free Breathing, Version 5.1
Authors: Vinh-Hung Vincent , Jafari Fatemeh , De Ridder Mark
Published: October 2023

Background: Four-dimensional computed tomography (4D-CT) acquires multiple CT images over time, allowing to visualize the respiratory motion of organs and tumors. In patients undergoing 4D-CT for stereotactic radiotherapy of intra-thoracic tumors, 4D-CT provides the opportunity to study the incidental movements of the breast during normal breathing. A study protocol to investigate breast respiratory motion is presented herein.
Methods: Patients with any primary cancer who underwent 4D-CT will be retrospectively selected from a radiotherapy treatment planning database. Study inclusion requires full lungs and breasts coverage in the 4D-CT images. Patients with advanced tumors are excluded. The protocol details breast locations of interest (upper, lower, inner, outer, central), specifies virtual breast tumor beds, and details how breast motion will be measured. Data will be analyzed to quantify the range of movements, to evaluate breast motion according to laterality and location, and to evaluate the correlation between movements of the breast and the intra-thoracic organs.
Results: Results should provide quantitative information on the extent of breast movements during free breathing, which could be valuable to plan for respiratory control during breast radiotherapy.
Conclusion: The study is retrospective, but the design of data acquisition is prospective, to mitigate recollection bias and enhance reproducibility.

Los debates y tensiones en torno a la investigación tradicional son permanentes en los espacios universitarios y centros de investigación; sin embargo, se manifiestan principalmente por fuera de estos lugares de pensamiento. En la actualidad, las experiencias de resistencia dentro de la academia son limitadas, evidentes, pero muy necesarias para co-romper el endogenismo universal e ilustrado que ha coronado a la academia de nuestro tiempo. Una tensa relación comienza a convivir en el territorio del conocimiento: temas tales como la forma en que se construye, o desde qué tipo de saberes se define la realidad, son discusiones transversales que se abordan en el presente trabajo. El artículo propone un debate crítico alrededor del lugar que ocupa el saber ordinario en el entramado del poder hegemónico y de las ciencias sociales. Reflexionamos sobre el juego del poder, las resistencias y el saber, allí donde la investigación, el conocimiento o la ecología de saberes desempeñan un papel protagónico, disputando fieramente los distintos territorios de significados.

The article identifies the problem of the need for continuous development and improvement of practical skills for cybersecurity professionals due to the constant growth and evolution of threats to information and cyber security for organizations, businesses, society, and the state. The relevance of implementing innovative technologies to improve the methods of developing technical and managerial competencies of cybersecurity specialists in higher education institutions is justified in accordance with the strategic direction of education reform in Ukraine. The relevance of developing the ability and skills for cybersecurity professionals to respond promptly to threats is associated with the use of artificial intelligence by cybercriminals. The analysis conducted in this work allowed us to conclude the need for improvement of the situational teaching method as one of the main ways to develop the competencies of students majoring in Cybersecurity and Information Security in higher education institutions. One of the ways to improve the method is to use artificial intelligence tools in creating various types of tasks for classes. To create educational situations and options for resolving conflicting situations in cybersecurity management and cyber incidents with the aim of developing skills in future cybersecurity managers to make timely, correct, and effective decisions, it proposed to use the artificial intelligence tool - the ChatGPT language model. Thanks to its excellent capabilities, which include summarizing and analyzing articles, encoding, debugging, and generating thematic blocks of situations, it represents significant progress in the field of artificial intelligence. The application of ChatGPT allowed the creation of the necessary number of situational tasks with options for correct solutions in a short time, covering all areas of activity for cybersecurity specialists. However, during the research, there was a need for critical evaluation and verification of the information provided by the model for compliance with the context and rules, laws, and ethical norms that apply in each specific situation. This issue addressed by refining and specifying the request to the ChatGPT language model to generate situations.
On Nicolas Criterion for the Riemann Hypothesis
Authors: Vega Frank
Published: October 2023

The Riemann hypothesis is the assertion that all non-trivial zeros are complex numbers with real part $\frac{1}{2}$. It is considered by many to be the most important unsolved problem in pure mathematics. There are several statements equivalent to the famous Riemann hypothesis. For $x \geq 2$, the function $f$ was introduced by Nicolas in his seminal paper as $f(x) = e^{\gamma} \cdot \log\theta(x) \cdot \prod_{q \leq x} \left(1 - \frac{1}{q} \right)$, where $\theta(x)$ is the Chebyshev function, $\gamma \approx 0.57721$ is the Euler-Mascheroni constant and $\log$ is the natural logarithm. In 1983, Nicolas stated that if the Riemann hypothesis is false then there exists a real $b$ with $0 < b < \frac{1}{2}$ such that, as $x\to \infty$, $\log f(x)=\Omega_{\pm }(x^{-b})$. In this note, using the Nicolas criterion, we prove that the Riemann hypothesis is true.
An improved Burgers creep model of coal based on fractional-order
Authors: Yang Yongjie , Huang Gang , Zhang Yangqiang , Yuan Lei
Published: October 2023

The instability and destruction of various types of coal pillars left in deep underground mining are frequently attributed to cumulative creep deformation exceeding the permissible limit, with high in situ stress playing a critical role in this phenomenon. To understand the complicated creep behavior of coal, triaxial compression creep tests were conducted. It has been proven that the coal specimens subjected to high confining pressure exhibit typical three-stage creep characteristics. Furthermore, with the increase in confining pressure, the creep threshold value increases while the creep threshold coefficient decreases. By fitting the creep strain-time results, an improved Burgers creep model based on fractional-order was proposed. This model can describe the primary, secondary, and tertiary stages and reflect the nonlinear behavior, contributing to the understanding of the long-term stability evaluation of deep coal pillars.
Association between systemic immune-inflammation index and diabetes: a population-based study from the NHANES
Authors: Nie Yiqi , Zhou Haiting , Wang Jing , Kan Hongxing
Published: October 2023

Background

Systemic Immune-Inflammation Index (SII) has been reported to be associated with diabetes. We aimed to assess possible links between SII and diabetes.

Methods

Data were obtained from the 2017-2020 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) database. After removing missing data for SII and diabetes, we examined patients older than 20 years. Simultaneously, the relationship between SII and diabetes was examined using weighted multivariate regression analysis, subgroup analysis, and smooth curve fitting.

Results

There were 7877 subjects in this study, the average SII was 524.91 ± 358.90, and the prevalence of diabetes was 16.07%. Weighted multivariate regression analysis found that SII was positively associated with diabetes, and in model 3, this positive association remained stable (OR = 1.04; 95% CI: 1.02–1.06; p = 0.0006), indicating that each additional unit of SII, the possibility of having diabetes increased by 4%. Gender, age, BMI, regular exercise, high blood pressure, and smoking did not significantly affect this positive link, according to the interaction test (p for trend>0.05).

Discussion

Additional prospective studies are required to examine the precise connection between higher SII levels and diabetes, which may be associated with higher SII levels.

Introduction

We previously described that a short version of the acute octreotide test (sAOT) can predict the response to first-generation somatostatin receptor ligands (SRLs) in patients with acromegaly. We have prospectively reassessed the sAOT in patients from the ACROFAST study using current ultra-sensitive GH assays. We also studied the correlation of sAOT with tumor expression of E-cadherin and somatostatin receptor 2 (SSTR2) .

Methods

A total of 47 patients treated with SRLs for 6 months were evaluated with the sAOT at diagnosis and correlated with SRLs’ response. Those patients whose IGF1 decreased to <3SDS from normal value were considered responders and those whose IGF1 was ≥3SDS, were considered non-responders. The 2 hours GH value (GH2h) after s.c. administration of 100 mcg of octreotide was used to define predictive cutoffs. E-cadherin and SSTR2 immunostaining in somatotropinoma tissue were investigated in 24/47 and 18/47 patients, respectively.

Results

In all, 30 patients were responders and 17 were non-responders. GH2h was 0.68 (0.25-1.98) ng/mL in responders vs 2.35 (1.59-9.37) ng/mL in non-responders (p<0.001). GH2h = 1.4ng/mL showed the highest ability to identify responders (accuracy of 81%, sensitivity of 73.3%, and specificity of 94.1%). GH2h = 4.3ng/mL was the best cutoff for non-response prediction (accuracy of 74%, sensitivity of 35.3%, and specificity of 96.7%). Patients with E-cadherin-positive tumors showed a lower GH2h than those with E-cadherin-negative tumors [0.9 (0.3-2.1) vs 3.3 (1.5-12.1) ng/mL; p<0.01], and patients with positive E-cadherin presented a higher score of SSTR2 (7.5 ± 4.2 vs 3.3 ± 2.1; p=0.01).

Conclusion

The sAOT is a good predictor tool for assessing response to SRLs and correlates with tumor E-cadherin and SSTR2 expression. Thus, it can be useful in clinical practice for therapeutic decision-making in patients with acromegaly.
