Published: May 2023

The environment is becoming an important issue in companies today—not just products but also marketing processes and the company's commitment to actively participate in environmentally friendly campaigns. One of them is in cosmetic products. In particular, this study provides insight into the effect of green products, green advertising, and green trust on purchasing decisions for cosmetic products. The quantitative approach was applied to 100 samples selected purposefully. Multiple linear regression was used to analyze the data. The results of the study partially show that green advertising has a stronger influence than green products. However, there is no effect of green trust on purchasing decisions for cosmetic products. Aspects that are highly valued when choosing environmentally friendly cosmetic products are product safety, protecting the beauty of the earth, and participating in preserving the environment.

The Shaping of Japan’s Collective Memory in Yoko Ogawa’s The Memory Police
Authors: Akmalie Raisa , Aminah Shobichatul
Published: May 2023

Historically, the collective memory of Japanese society was shaped through narratives created by the authorities. The mechanism of power in the formation of collective memory can be seen through the process of censorship as a tool used to erase certain public perceptions during the Meiji period to the beginning of the Showa Period. The preservation of power in the hands of Japan’s elites created control of the people in terms of what they should know, remember, and act according to the narration that fitted the agenda of these elites. This paper examines the process of the shaping of collective memory in Japan prior to the three periods from Meiji to early Showa. This study uses a novel by Yoko Ogawa titled The Memory Police as a sites of memory to examine the shaping of collective memory in Japanese society. This paper is a qualitative research and uses Foucault’s theory of power and Michels’ theory of elites, as well as Nora’s notion of sites of memory as theoritical framework. The research found that all of these aspects of power mechanism in a form of censorship in those three periods of Japan’s past and the role of elites that used their influence to eradicate informations contributed to the shaping of collective memory. Moreover, The Memory Police as a novel came as a sites of memory that belongs to the society that tried to resist and contest the official narration of Japan’s collective memory.

Which Indicator Should Be used to Monitor Malaria Elimination in India?
Authors:   Scientist ‘E’, National Institute of Malaria Research, Dwarka, New Delhi, India, Nath Arvind
Published: May 2023

The Annual Parasite Incidence (API) is currently being used by the National Vector Borne Disease Control Programme (NVBDCP) as an indicator to monitor malaria elimination efforts in states and union territories. This article is an attempt to find out how effective is the API as a tool to measure malaria elimination efforts in the country by reviewing documents published by the NVBDCP (for 2018 data) and National Statistical Office (for 2021 data) and by doing a web search. It was found that in the 2018 data set, there was no direct correlation between API and the number of malaria cases. Even in territories having low API, the number of malaria cases was high and in areas having high API, the number of malaria cases was low. From the 2021 data set, it was seen that the malaria problem was greatest in Chhattisgarh and least in Lakshadweep Islands. Thus, API by itself is not a useful indicator of malaria elimination efforts. Attention must also be paid to the actual number of malaria cases occurring in the state/ union territory, and at the present time, the focus must be on Chhattisgarh.
Survival of 21 Dogs after Post-exposure Prophylaxis using Intra-dermal Rabies Vaccine in the Pre-scapular Region and Emergency Use of Expired Equine Rabies Immunoglobulin for Local Wound Infiltration in Victims of a Rabid Dog Bite using One Health Approach
Authors:   Department of Animal Husbandry, Govt of Himachal Pradesh, India, Sharma Anil Kumar
Published: May 2023

Rabies is a 100% fatal zoonotic disease and is preventable through timely and adequate Post-Exposure Prophylaxis (PEP). World Organization for Animal Health (WOAH) haven’t issued any guidelines for PEP for rabies in animals, still in certain Indian states like Himachal Pradesh (HP) PEP regimen with active immunization on 0,3,7,14 and 28 days mostly by Intramuscular Rabies Vaccine (IMRV) is being followed. Recently in Rampur Bushahar, a suspected rabid dog later laboratory confirmed had bitten 21 dogs, 2 cows, and 2 men. We employed PEP in animals using Raksharab vaccine intra-dermally (IDRV) (0.2 ml, pre-scapular region) on days 0, 3,7,14, and 28 along with only local wound infiltration of eRIG in 8 out of 11 bitten dogs with Category III exposure. Furthermore, 3 noncooperative dogs with Category III exposure were given IMRV (1ml) on day 0,3,7,14,28 with only wound infiltration of eRIG. 2 Cows were administered 0.2 ml IDRV in the skin at the middle of the neck with only wound infiltration of eRIG. Human bite victims also received 0.1 ml IDRV at 2 sites in the deltoid region on days 0,3, and 7 along with wound infiltration of eRIG at the nearby health center. Serum samples were collected for Rapid Fluorescent Focus Inhibition Test (RFFIT) for estimation of Rabies Vaccine Neutralizing Antibody (RVNA) titer after day 14 for 8 dogs, 2 cows, and human bite victims, and all had RVNA titer >0.5 IU/ml on day 14 except one in IMRV group. None of the bitten victims had clinical manifestations of rabies even after 1 year of follow-up. This indicates wound infiltration with eRIG along with the vaccine could be a life-saving protocol. Also using expired eRIG in emergencies was safe and life saving in animals. Expired eRIG used was later tested and was found to be potent.

Published: May 2023

Sweet cherry, which affects consumers’ preferences with its aroma, taste and sensory properties, is a significant fruit species for human health with its bioactive compounds such as organic acids, vitamins and anthocyanins. However, its post-harvest shelf life is very short due to its sensitive fruit structure. Thus, the significant economic losses occur. In the study, effects of pre-harvest Aminoethoxyvinylglycine (AVG), Salicylic acid (SA) and plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) applications on fruit quality characteristics and biochemical content in sweet cherry were determined. SA and PGPR treatments increased fruit size, but AVG decreased (If the fruit weight is 4.51 in the control application, 4.49 in the SA application and 4.10 in the PGPR, how can it be said that SA and PGPR increase the fruit weight).  The fruits treated with SA, AVG and PGPR had higher fruit firmness values than the control’-fruits. Salisylic acid treatmens did not affect the rate of soluble solids content(SSC) in fruit, SSC rate was higher in PGPR treated-fruit, but AVG decreased the SSC. Titratable acidity (TA) was lower in PGPR treated-fruit, but was higher in the AVG and SA treated-fruit. Fruits treated with the SA and AVG had higher fruit color values than control fruits, while the lowest color values was obtained with PGPR treatment. In general; PGPR, SA and AVG were effective in the concentration of organic acids, but their effects varied depending on the organic acid compounds. As a result, AVG and SA delayed fruit ripening and fruit softening while PGPR, AVG and SA improved fruit quality (It is not clear how this idea was reached). These applications can be considered as a promising method for improving fruit quality at harvest and  maintaining post-harvest fruit quality of sweet cherry.

Authors: Ateş Oğuz , Kiper Tuğba , Uzun Osman
Published: May 2023

In this study, the bioclimatic comfort status for tourism was determined through PET using RayMan model in the case of rural settlements of Kırklareli/Kofçaz located in the northwest part of Turkey. For calculating the thermal comfort index of PET in RayMan, monthly average temperature, relative humidity, and wind measurement long- term values between 1980-2018 with respect to 13 climate stations located within the borders of Turkey and Bulgaria were used and interpolated with the IDW method in ArcGIS program. Afterwards, seasonal, and monthly climatic maps were established regarding annual average temperature, relative humidity and wind speed. The maps obtained were classified according to the comfort zones that determine the bioclimatic comfort and the bioclimatic comfort map of the study area was created. As a result of the assessments performed, it has been determined that the bioclimatic comfort situation varies temporally and spatially. The results obtained from the study will be effective in determining the period and place preferences in tourism planning, determining rural development-oriented strategies, and ensuring the quality of life and comfort of the relevant stakeholders. It will serve as a reference for the climate-sensitive approach targeted in upper-scale plans and policies within the scope of combating climate change.

ETHICS OF HEALTHY LIFE SUSTAINABILITY
Authors:   Athens Administrative Court of Appeal, Greece, Kalafati Aspasia
Published: May 2023

Advances in biological sciences have led to the emergence of a specialized field called biolaw, which deals with the legal aspects of technology in this domain. A significant issue in biolaw revolves around determining the legal status of embryos and their relationship to pregnant women. This question is intertwined with the beginning of human life and the protection of the unborn. Furthermore, advancements in genetics, such as DNA decoding and mapping of the human genome, alongside developments in Medically Assisted Reproduction, have shifted legal focus to the legal status and protection of reproductive material and fertilized eggs. The European Court of Human Rights also considers these matters in relation to the European Convention. These deliberations involve balancing the rights of fathers, the value and protection of embryos, women's freedom and autonomy in motherhood choices, access to contraception and abortion, as well as public interests in preserving the health of pregnant women during situations where conflicts arise between the lives of the woman and the embryo. Based on the above, this work seeks to present some of the fundamental common aspects of biolaw from a legal standpoint, always relating to the embryo or fetus: a) The right to life and how it relates to human dignity, b) the question of conception and how it relates to pregnancy, the observed conflicts of rights, the right to reproduction and prenatal diagnosis, but also death, and c) the right to health. All the above will be described as simply as possible using jurisprudential examples from cases heard by the European Court of Human Rights (E.C.H.R). Finally, certain ethical problems about current technologies (synthetic life? mouse embryogenesis? Vaccine trials with pregnant women?) and red lines in the context of bioethics will be raised.
التصويت من الخارج بين المنح والمنع دراسة مقارنة في ضوء التشريعات الانتخابية المعاصرة

عدد المواطنون الذين يقيمون خارج حدود بلدانهم في عام 2020 قد تجاوز 221 مليون شخص، وهذا الرقم في تزايد مستمر، وأسبابه عديدة منها اقتصادية ومنها سياسية وأخرى إجتماعية وغيرها من الأسباب. في ظل تطور مفاهيم الديمقراطية وحقوق الانسان في العالم، أكدت العديد من الإتفاقيات الدولية ودساتير الدول على ضمان حقوق الإنسان، وأحدى هذه الحقوق، هي الحقوق السياسية للمواطن، وأبرزها حق المشاركة في الإنتخابات والإدلاء بصوته، لذا تطلب على دساتير الدول وقوانين الانتخابات أن ينظموا هذا الحق بشكل يتناسب مع فلسفة منحه.
مشاركة المواطنون الذين يعيشون ضمن حدود الوطن، في الانتخابات، لا جدال عليه، لكن بالنسبة للمواطنين الذين يقيمون خارج حدود الوطن في الانتخابات التي تجرى في أوطانهم هو محل نقاش، وتم طرح العديد من التساؤلات بصددها، ومنها، هل لكل مواطن يعيش خارج بلده الحق في المشاركة في التصويت في الانتخابات التي تجرى في بلده؟ هل يحق للمواطن الذي يعيش بعيداً عن بلده في التأثير على القرارات المصيرية التي تتخذ في بلده ويتأثر بها المواطنون المتواجدون داخل الوطن؟
في هذا البحث، بعد أن عرفنا التصويت من الخارج وتطوره التاريخي وذكر أساليب وأنواع التصويت من الخارج، بحثنا في الاتجاهات التي إتبعتها دساتير الدول والقوانين الانتخابية لتنظيم التصويت من الخارج، والذين إنقسموا إلى إتجاهين، أولهما يمنع المواطن الذي يقيم في الخارج من حق التصويت، أما الثاني فيمنح هذا الحق وإن تباينت شروط تنظيم هذا الحق، وعرضنا حجج كل إتجاه، ثم توصلنا الى مجموعة من الاستنتاجات بعد تحليلها أوصينا بعدد من التوصيات نعتقد إذا ما أوخذ بها سيكون لها دور في تنظيم التصويت من الخارج بشكل أفضل.

Nowadays Bangladesh is called a “DIGITAL BANGLADESH”. The propensity of online shopping and businesses is increasing these days. The digital environment spreads out not only in the country but also in Rangpur City. Over the last few years, online shopping has improved and the number of people who have access to the web has increased. A positive attitude towards online shopping and selling is being observed in Bangladesh. The young generation is much more involved in space marketing or shopping than in a place. The main aim of this research is to investigate the consumers’ attitudes toward online shopping and the factors influencing consumers towards online shopping. To meet the study objectives a quantitative survey method was employed. Researchers select 150 respondents by the technique of non-probability convenience sampling. The questionnaire of the study was developed from the previous literature. The research result shows that 60% of the respondents are male, and the rest are female between the 16-59 age groups, with a Secondary school certificate to postgraduate educational level. Most of them spend 2-4 hours on the Internet daily. The result also revealed that convenience, time-saving, website design, perceived enjoyment, and people engagement and their review rating have a significant positive relationship with consumer attitudes toward online shopping.

We present a publicly accessible database specifically designed to aid in the conception, training, demonstration, evaluation, and comparison of reduced-complexity models for fluid mechanics. Availability of high-quality flow data is essential for all of these aspects of model development for both data-driven and physics-based methods. The current database is unique in that it has been curated with this need in mind. The database contains time-resolved data for six distinct datasets: a large eddy simulation of a turbulent jet, direct numerical simulations of a zero-pressure-gradient turbulent boundary layer, particle-image-velocimetry measurements for the same boundary layer at several Reynolds numbers, direct numerical simulations of laminar stationary and pitching flat-plate airfoils, particle-image-velocimetry and force measurements of an airfoil encountering a gust, and a large eddy simulation of the separated, turbulent flow over an airfoil. These six cases span several key flow categories: laminar and turbulent, statistically stationary and transient, tonal and broadband spectral content, canonical and application-oriented, wall-bounded and free-shear flow, and simulation and experimental measurements. For each dataset, we describe the flow setup and computational/experimental methods, catalog the data available in the database, and provide examples of how these data can be used for reduced-complexity modeling. All data can be downloaded using a browser interface or Globus. Our vision is that the common testbed provided by this database will aid the fluid mechanics community in clarifying the distinct capabilities of new and existing methods.

Cesarean scar ectopic pregnancy - Case report
Authors: Dalvi Sujata
Published: May 2023

Cesarean scar (C scar) ectopic pregnancy is complex pathological condition and occasionally can be life-threatening due to complications. The rise in the incidence is due to the rise in cesarean and early pregnancy sonography. For proper diagnosis, transvaginal sonography with color Doppler is far superior. Multidisciplinary approach with counseling is needed to individualize treatment as there are various modalities of management. This case report is of C scar ectopic pregnancy referred for further management. After reconfirming the diagnosis, systemic medical therapy was given. Following rise of beta-human chorionic gonadotropin (beta HCG), intralesional instillation of methotrexate was done. Follow-up ultrasonography revealed no fetal pole without any vascularity and declining beta-HCG. However, after 7 weeks, empty sac was still present, and hence, dilatation with evacuation was done. Early gestational termination is preferable with disruption of trophoblastic invasion, before surgical intervention to avoid complications.

Introduction. Currently, sulfur-containing amino acids are potential candidates as risk factors for cardiovascular disease. The purpose: to establish the role of sulfur-containing amino acids and their derivatives in the risk of developing arterial hypertension in children. Matherial and methods. 111 children aged 14 to 18 years were examined. All patients were divided into 3 groups: the 1st group (n=51) consisted of children with arterial hypertension, the 2nd group (n=30) – with high normal blood pressure, the 3rd group – 30 healthy children. The content of sulfur-containing amino acids and their derivatives in blood plasma was determined by high-performance liquid chromatography. Result. The concentration of sulfur-containing amino acids methionine, homocysteine, cysteine and cysteinylglycine in the blood plasma of children with arterial hypertension tend to increase in comparison with the group of healthy children. Pathological decrease in endothelium-dependent vasodilation accompanied by an increase in the concentration of methionine, homocysteine, cysteine, cysteinylglycine, glutathione in blood plasma and a decrease – taurine. A prognostic model has been developed based on the determination of the concentration of homocysteine and cysteinylglycine in the blood plasma of children. With a calculated value of p≥0,44, makes it possible to predict a high probability of arterial hypertension with a sensitivity of 90,2%, a specificity of 66,7% and a diagnostic efficiency of 82,1%. Conclusions. The concentration of sulfur-containing amino acids methionine, homocysteine, cysteine and cysteinylglycine in the blood plasma of children with arterial hypertension tend to increase in comparison with the group of healthy children.

Background: Malignant Peripheral Nerve Sheath Tumors (MPNSTs) are defined as malignant tumors arising from a peripheral nerve or displaying nerve sheath differentiation. We report the first Korean case of MPNST of the ileum. Case Presentation: A 33-year-old female without family history of neurofibromatosis type I complained of lower abdominal pain. An abdomen computed tomography and enhanced magnetic resonance imaging of the pelvis confirmed a 5.6 cm heterogenous lobulated lesion in the ileum. Laparoscopic exploration revealed severe adhesion of the main ileal mass to the sigmoid colon. Laparoscopic adhesiolysis and segmental resection with anastomosis of the ileum was performed. On gross examination, the resected specimen was 6.5 cm and the tumor was located 10 cm proximal and 15 cm distal from the resection margins. In microscopic examination, the nucleus of the tumor cells was oval to elongated shape, showing moderate pleomorphism. Immunohistochemical staining showed that the main tumor cells were positive for S100 and about 10% of the tumor cells were positive for Ki-67. During the 12-month follow-up period, she presented no symptoms and the abdomen CT scans showed no evidence of distant metastasis in the thorax or abdominal recurrence. Conclusion: We report a rare case of a young female with a MPNST of jejunum, suspected of having GIST before surgery and an extensive review of the literature for MPNST in intestinal tract.

Objectives: To present the Training on the field about OIC undertaken by three Italian oncological centres involving professionals of different sub-specialties. Methods: Four on-site interactive meetings of multidisciplinary hospital teams; interactive presentation and discussion, questionnaires administration at the baseline and at the end of the field programme over two years (2019-2021). Outcomes evaluated by estimated increase of OIC diagnosis and OIC treatments. Results: Shared principles about OIC prevention and management in all the steps (from laxatives to PAMORAs), and use of PROMs. Participants were asked about their initial awareness at the inception of the Training on the field programme and their final experiences at the end. Discussion: The experience of this Training on the field underlined the cardinal role of a constant teamwork in the Onco-ematology and Palliative Care Departments and the territory with a shared and tested algorithm. The proposed platform of activities is a call to action to mitigate the burden of pain and OIC if specialists act in concert during all the steps of the trajectory of cancer patients requiring opioid treatment. Multidisciplinary teamwork may help redefine and optimize doses and time schedules tailored to each patient and can contribute to designing controlled studies of OIC

Published: May 2023

INTRODUCTION: Presence of ferrule during delivery of a fixed prosthesis onto an endodontically treated tooth is important for fracture resistance of the tooth in function. AIM: This study aims to investigate the location of ferrule on fracture resistance of endodontically treated extracted mandibular premolars. MATERIALS AND METHOD: Sixty extracted mandibular premolars were divided into 6 groups where each group consisted of 10 teeth. The groups were as follows: control group, GHT; endodontically treated teeth without endodontic posts and crowns, GCF; teeth with a 2 mm circumferential ferrule, GBF; teeth with a 2 mm buccal ferrule; GLF, teeth with a 2 mm lingual ferrule; GBLF, teeth with a 2 mm buccal and lingual ferrule; and teeth without ferrule, GWF. All the teeth were endodontically treated and glass fibre posts were cemented and crowns were luted. All the teeth were loaded in a universal testing machine until fractured. Fracture lines were also assessed according to their location onto the teeth. The results were recorded and were statistically analyzed. RESULTS: Mean ±SD loads for the groups ranged from 770.3 ±212.9 N to 1008.1 ±176.5 N. One way ANOVA revealed a statistically significant difference between the groups (P_.05). However, no statistically significant differences were observed among groups (P>.05), except between GHT (control group) and group GWF (without ferrule). CONCLUSION: The study reported that although the presence of ferrule leads to improved fracture resistance, specific location of the ferrule had no significant differences in the fracture strength of endodontically treated teeth restored with glass fiber posts.

Authors: Isra Nazir  , Saima Arshie  , Mohammad HS Hilal
Published: May 2023

INTRODUCTION: Precision attachments are an important aspect of prosthetic dentistry by providing retention to the prosthesis with aesthetics compared to conventional retainers that are visible clinically. AIM: To access the implementation of this practical concept by dental practitioners in their routine practice, a questionnaire based survey was conducted on dental practitioners and lab technicians. MATERIALS AND METHOD: A questionnaire containing 15 questions was distributed among dentists and lab technicians via Google forms and the responses were analyzed to evaluate knowledge, awareness and towards the concept of precision attachments. Data analysed was based on qualification (i.e. BDS, MDS in Prosthodontics, MDS Others, OTHERS i.e., DCI recognized diploma and fellowship courses post-BDS) and years of experience (0-10, 11-20 &>20 years) for the dentist-based survey and based on years of experience (0-10, 11-20 &>20 years) for the lab technician-based survey. Data was subjected to Chi- square test using Statistical Package of Social Sciences (SPSS) Software. RESULTS: Out of 336 participants, 45% were BDS, 30% were MDS in Prosthodontics, 23% were MDS in other fields and 2% were from others category. It was reported that ‘MDS in Prosthodontics’ with 11-20 years of experience seem to have the maximum confidence to handle cases of precision attachments. ‘BDS’ with 0-10 years of experience group have the least confidence to handle cases of precision attachment and the results was found to be statistically significant (p=0.02) indicating that while dentists are aware of this treatment modality but it’s implementation is limited to the prosthodontists. Responses of lab technicians also highlighted lack of knowledge and skill of dental practitioners to handle cases of precision attachment optimally(p=0.02.) CONCLUSION: Among dental practitioners, very less number have general knowledge and skills of this treatment modality. Therefore, its usage in current clinical scenario is still a challenging one.

Iatrogenic Kaposi’s sarcoma is a subtype of Kaposi’s sarcoma (KS), which is a vascular malignant tumor and is seen in organ transplant recipients and in patients receiving immunosuppressive therapy due to other reasons. We describe a case of Behcet's disease associated with Kaposi's sarcoma occurring simultaneously in a 50-year-old male patient. Colchicine and steroids were administered for his mucocutaneous findings and polyarthritis. In few months on therapy, four symmetric, brown- red coloured, asymptomatic macules developed on the inner surface of his left foot. In histopathologic specimens; CD34 positive, atypical spindle cells with swollen nuclei formed bundles and vascular spaces filled with erythrocytes. The patient was diagnosed as KS clinically and histopathologically. HHV-8 DNA was positive with PCR. Regression was observed in the lesions after the cessation of corticosteroid treatment.
