A healthy diet is an important supporter of quality of life. Food is a basic human right. Sleep, like food, is an indispensable part of life. A healthy diet and quality sleep can contribute to our health and well-being. This study was conducted to determine the adherence to the Mediterranean diet and the sleep quality of university students. The study was carried out on 480 people, 331 women and 149 men, who were studying at Higher Education Institutions in the Republic of Türkiye and voluntarily accepted to participate in the study. The demographic characteristics of the individuals, smoking, alcohol and caffeinated beverage use, and dietary habits were questioned with a questionnaire. The Mediterranean Diet Adherence Scale (MEDAS) was used to assess adherence to the Mediterranean diet, and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) was used to assess sleep quality. Participants were made up of 69.0% (n=331) females and 31% (n=149) males. The average age; was 21.00±2.853, mean body mass index was 21.23±4.921 kg/m2 in women; in males, it was found to be 24±3.223 kg/m2. Adherence to the Mediterranean diet of the participants was 47.3% (n=227) below 7 points, which was insufficient adherence, 27.1% (n=130) were within the range of 7-8 points, which was acceptable adherence, and 25.6% (n=123) It was found above 9 points, which is strict adherence. Again, the average PSQI score of the participants is 6.29±3.06, the average PSQI score of women is 6.33±2.93 while the average PSQI score of men is 6.19±3.36. There was no significant difference between the PSQI scores of women and men (p>0.05). Sleep and nutritional status have many effects on health. For this reason, training should be given to individuals to increase the sleep quality of the students and to improve their nutritional status.

Published: May 2024

This study investigates the implementation of the Case Method and Team-Based Project learning approaches within the context of the Geography Education Department's cultural and political geography courses at Universitas Negeri Medan. These methods, relevant to the Merdeka Belajar - Kampus Merdeka (MBKM) program, aim to enhance student skills through active, applied learning. Employing a qualitative descriptive approach, the research gathered data via questionnaires distributed through Google Forms to a sample of 67 students out of a total population of 454 from the 2019-2022 academic cohorts. Findings indicate that the duration required for the Case Method varies with the complexity of the cases, ranging from 15-30 minutes for simpler issues to over 60 minutes for more intricate problems. The Team-Based Project approach necessitates 7 to 8 meetings, including initial planning and subsequent implementation phases, monitored by lecturers through direct communication or digital platforms like LMS forums or Zoom channels. However, the study reveals inefficiencies in applying these learning methods within the department, attributed to the substantial workload imposed by the Indonesian National Qualifications Framework (KKNI) and a lack of student engagement in assignments. It suggests a comprehensive revision of IQF assignments towards more discussion-oriented and field-practical approaches to address these challenges.

Author profiling creates characterization of an author based on attributes such as age, gender, language, dialect region variety, personality and so on. In recent years it has garnered significant attention for its varies applications across forensic linguistics, marketing, cybersecurity and social media analytics. Most of the research focused on stylistic, content based and term weight measures based feature representations.  We observed that context semantics is not considered in the feature representation. In this propose contextually propagated term weight measures for feature representation. We implemented SVM, Random Forest and XG Boost machine learning algorithms on those feature representations. The results demonstrated that the proposed contextually propagated term weight with inverse category frequency outperformed the existing methods.
A Survey of Kidney Cancer Analysis Using Machine Learning and Deep Learning Algorithms
Authors: Shital M. Gujarathi
Published: May 2024

A recent and emerging public health concern is kidney disease, particularly Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD), characterized by a gradual decline in kidney function due to various ailments. Kidney cancer, a potentially fatal form of cancer, requires accurate staging for effective treatment selection, with Stage 1 being a crucial point for decisions. Physicians often face challenges in accurately determining cancer stages, leading to potential under- or over-treatment. Kidneys play a vital role in filtering blood, removing waste and excess fluids, excreted as urine. Advanced renal disease can cause dangerous build-ups of fluids, electrolytes, and waste. In early stages, kidney disease may exhibit minimal symptoms, often progressing unnoticed until more advanced stages. Kidney cancer arises when kidney cells undergo abnormal growth and lose control. Treatments for kidney cancer encompass a range of options, including surgical procedures, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy. Early detection remains pivotal for effective intervention, echoing the universal importance seen in managing all types of cancer. In contrast, managing chronic kidney disease focuses on minimizing kidney damage by targeting its root causes, although addressing these factors may not always halt the disease's progression. In advanced stages, kidney cancer can potentially lead to kidney failure, a life-threatening condition necessitating artificial filtration methods like hemodialysis or surgical interventions for survival. “Various risk factors encompassing dietary habits, environmental exposures, and living conditions contribute significantly to sudden and often unnoticed illnesses among many individuals. Physicians commonly encounter challenges in accurately determining the stages of cancer, potentially leading to either under treatment or overtreatment. The diagnosis process for chronic renal disease is often fraught with risks, high costs, time-intensive procedures, and invasiveness. Consequently, numerous illnesses remain untreated until they reach advanced stages, especially prevalent in regions with limited resources, highlighting disparities in healthcare accessibility and early detection. Early detection is vital for doctors to save lives.
Detecting kidney conditions early can help prevent kidney damage and slow down Kidney Cancer progression. “Researchers are exploring various methods to identify kidney disease at an early stage. This research aims to understand and improve early prediction techniques for this condition. To categorize Kidney cancer, researchers use different classification strategies like Artificial Neural Networks (ANN), Naive Bayes, Support Vector Machines (SVM), Adaptive Deep Convolutional Neural Network (AHDCNN), Alex Net, U-Net 2D, ada boost classifiers, and Linear Discriminant methods.

Published: May 2024

We report a rare case of leiomyoma of the female urethra. A 31-year-old married woman, gravid and para one with no history of prior surgery, malignancy or other significant disease was referred to our clinic with a complaint of a mass protruding from the top of the vagina and difficulty voiding from 18 months ago. The mass had a rapid growth causing urinary obstructive symptoms, dyspareunia which turned to a vast palpable mass protruding the vagina. A definite surgical excision was launched via a lateral transvestibular approach demonstrating no attachment to the urethral tract. The histopathology report confirmed spindle cell tumor consistent with leiomyoma. During the 6-month follow-up period, there was no tumoral recurrence, and neither initial obstructive symptoms nor emerging de-novo incontinency were not observed. In resection of such tumors, care should be taken to spare urethral sphincter in order to prevent future incontinency.

This research aimed to assess the influence of various chemical and organic fertilizers on the vegetative and reproductive characteristics of the ‘New Kuroda’ variety of carrots (Daucus carota). The study included the recommended dose (RD) of NPK (80:60:60 kg ha-1), individual components of N (80 kg ha-1), P (60 kg ha-1), and K (60 kg ha-1), as well as organic sources such as goat manure (15 tons ha-1 ), farmyard manure (FYM) (20 tons ha-1), and a control group without any fertilizer. Growth and reproductive traits were measured at 45, 55, 65, 75, and 85 days after sowing. The results indicated that the recommended NPK dose consistently outperformed other fertilizer sources, enhancing both vegetative and reproductive parameters. The highest yield of 10.94 tons ha-1 was achieved with NPK fertilizer, whereas organic sources such as goat manure demonstrated the second-highest growth and development traits. The control group exhibited the lowest growth and development parameters. These results show that these fertilizer sources considerably influence the vegetative and reproductive development of the ‘New Kuroda’ carrot variety. The outcomes indicate how various fertilizer sources may significantly improve the vegetative and reproductive growth of the ‘New Kuroda’ carrot; the recommended dosage of NPK in conjunction with the supply of goat manure stands out as an appropriate technique for producing carrots. This illustrates how applying a balanced dosage of these fertilizers may lead to increased carrot yield

Published: May 2024

A comparison between the MCNP simulated gamma spectrums based on the nuclear data from NuDat with the current version 3.0 and Nucléide-Lara against measured spectra based on the IAEA reference samples has been performed to assess the influence of nuclear data of photon decay processes and cross-section of photon interactions on the quality of the simulated spectra. As the results, the appearance of some abnormal energy peaks; namely 215 keV, 571 keV, 675 keV, 1227 keV of the NuDat-based simulated spectra and 90 keV, 94 keV, 106 keV, 416 keV of the Nucléide-Lara-based simulated spectra, which were present in neither the measured spectrum nor remaining simulated spectra, indicating issues with accuracy and completeness of these dataset. In addition, the good correlation between the combined dataset-based simulated spectra and reference samples-based measured spectra within the range of 50 keV to 2620 keV suggests that this MCNP simulation configuration can be used to generate a large simulated dataset for Machine Learning (ML) models that automatically identify and qualify radioactive isotope from gamma-ray spectra, overcoming the practical limitation of number of reference samples to sufficiently generate data for training and testing ML algorithms in the field of environmental radiation [1].

Analysis presented in the paper is focused on the characterization of uncertainties induced by cross-section data, which contributing to the overall uncertainty of the correction factors. Advances in computational methods and computational power shifted the calculation of correction factors among the standard steps of the manganese bath method what decrease an interest about this part of the method. Anyway, with the development of computational tools, the cross-section data were also improved, and new evaluations of nuclear data libraries include more information about the cross-section data covariances. Therefore, the propagation of uncertainties induced by neutron cross-sections can be carried out within standard transport calculation of the manganese sulphate bath model. In this paper, the super-sequence SAMPLER module that implements stochastic techniques is used to assess the uncertainty in computed results. Reaction rates on all nuclides of the solution are computed in 400 cases with uncertain parameters and the results are evaluated by an auxiliary tool. Consideration of nuclear data uncertainty in calculations is a general trend that requires the attention of nuclear researchers and should draw attention in metrology. Additional 1.5 % (one-sigma) uncertainty is introduced to the overall uncertainty through correction factor.

Published: May 2024

This study is to demonstrate an approach to investigate the consequence of a hypothetical radionuclide release scenario in Singapore, a typical urban setting with high population density. To this end, we made use of MACCS 4.1, a Gaussian-based atmospheric dispersion model to compute the peak dose and the population health effects. We developed the meteorological and site files from data provided by local government agencies. Our investigation showed that the chosen scenario poses very little to negligible risk to the health of local population as the peak dose received across the country is below the radiation safety level recommended by ICRP.
Use of di-(2-ethylhexyl)-orthophosphoric acid for the extraction of lanthanum, neodymium, samarium and yttrium from nitric acid solutions
Authors: Karelin Vladimir Alexandrovich , Kieu Bach Thuan , Le Hai Son , Karelina Nadezhda Vladimirovna
Published: May 2024

The process of separating rare-earth elements into individual components is considered the most important problem in rare-earth technology because of the similarity in their physical and chemical properties. Currently in the world dialkyl phosphate compounds are widely used as effective extractors for rare earths. However, most extraction processes have been studied from hydrochloric acid or perchlorate solutions. In Russia, tributyl phosphate has long been used to extract rare earths from nitric acid solutions, but the distribution coefficients of the elements are not high, and the process must be repeated multiple times. In this study di-(2-ethylhexyl)-orthophosphoric acid was used for the extraction of lanthanum, neodymium, samarium, and yttrium from nitric acid solutions. When the concentration of nitric acid increased, distribution coefficient of elements gradually decreased to minimum (in the range of 1 to 5M) then increased backward. However, when the concentration was too high (C > 5M), nitric acid was extracted to the organic phase due to the properties of the phosphoryl group. Moreover, the study of dependence of solvation number of neodymium on the concentrations of nitric acid shows that rare earths in the organic phase can be extracted as Re(HA2)3 (C < 1M) or Re(NO3)3«3HA (C > 5M).
HEGEL FENOMENOLOJİSİNDE BİLME OLARAK DİN

Published: May 2024

Bu makalede temel amacımız Hegel’in din üzerine görüşlerini onun Fenomenolojisi üzerinden açıklamak olacaktır. Bunu yaparken de dinin Fenomenolojideki yeri üzerinden bir değerlendirmeye gideceğiz. Bunun anlamı da Dinin, Tinin tamamlanışı olduğunu göstermeye çalışacağız demektir; Din, Tinin özbilinci olarak bir halkın kendi üzerine tasarımıdır. Bu anlamda Din temel olarak cemaatin kendi üzerine tasarımdır. Ama bu tasarımın birçok şekli söz konusudur, diğer bir deyişle çok farklı din biçimleri söz konusudur ve Hıristiyanlık da din olarak dindir. Hristiyanlık, Dinin tam olarak açınımı ve Tinin en olgun biçimde kendini ortaya serişidir. Bunun dışında Hegel’de Din, Fenomenoloji’de tam olarak Mutsuz Bilincin, Özbilinç bölümünde ayrılmış olarak bıraktığı Özsel-olan ve özsel-olmayan veya değişen ve değişmeyen arasındaki ayrımı ortadan kaldırır. Bilincin Mutsuz Bilinçteki konumu tam olarak hakikati kendi dışında bir şey olarak sezmesidir. Bir Bakıma Fenomenoloji’deki Akıl ve Tin bölümündeki tartışmalar, bilinç ile dünyayı uzlaştırma çabasıdır ve Dinde son bulur. Bilme veya bilmenin koşulu da bu uzlaşmadır.

O desenvolvimento de um programa de treinamento e desenvolvimento de pessoal em uma organização vai além das estratégias pré-estabelecidas. A eficácia desses programas depende significativamente de sua capacidade de atender aos anseios pessoais dos colaboradores, tornando-os parceiros ativos no processo de capacitação. O levantamento de necessidades de treinamento é uma ferramenta crucial nesse contexto, permitindo às empresas identificar oportunidades de desenvolvimento para funcionários individuais e equipes inteiras. Essa ferramenta não apenas orienta a definição dos temas a serem abordados nos treinamentos, mas também ajuda a determinar os métodos de execução mais adequados. Essa abordagem integrada é fundamental para criar uma metodologia alinhada ao perfil específico da organização e de seus colaboradores, resultando em melhorias no clima organizacional e fortalecendo o alinhamento estratégico interno. Este artigo busca explorar a relação entre o levantamento de necessidades de treinamento e a satisfação dos colaboradores com os temas e métodos definidos pela empresa. Uma pesquisa qualitativa, exploratória, descritiva e documental foi conduzida com colaboradores de uma empresa de desenvolvimento de software na Grande Florianópolis, Santa Catarina, para examinar essa relação. Os resultados obtidos por meio de entrevistas revelaram que uma metodologia de treinamento mais alinhada ao perfil específico da organização é fundamental. A aplicação de métodos e temas apropriados não apenas melhora a satisfação dos colaboradores, mas também contribui para a eficiência dos programas de treinamento, promovendo o desenvolvimento profissional e organizacional. A criação de um ambiente em que os colaboradores se sintam parte integrante do planejamento estratégico é essencial para fomentar uma cultura de inovação e colaboração. Isso, por sua vez, pode resultar em melhores resultados para a organização como um todo, à medida que o desenvolvimento individual dos funcionários impulsiona a realização de objetivos estratégicos mais amplos.

A biodiversidade do Brasil é vasta e abriga uma riqueza incomensurável de mamíferos, aves, répteis e anfíbios. No entanto, a prática da caça de animais silvestres emerge como uma ameaça significativa para o ecossistema, além de representar um potencial vetor de doenças para os seres humanos. Mesmo sendo uma atividade ilegal, a caça ainda é amplamente praticada na região tocantina maranhense, muitas vezes motivada por aspectos culturais ou de lazer, e direcionada principalmente para o consumo. Na região tocantina do Maranhão, a escassez de pesquisas sobre o tema ressalta a importância do presente estudo. A pesquisa foi conduzida por meio da aplicação de questionários em três cidades distintas do Maranhão: Imperatriz, João Lisboa e Senador La Rocque, abordando tanto os caçadores quanto os consumidores. Seu principal objetivo foi identificar os animais mais caçados e consumidos, avaliar o conhecimento sobre zoonoses e traçar o perfil socioeconômico desse público. Os resultados revelaram que o tatu-peba é um dos animais mais frequentemente caçados e consumidos na região, evidenciando assim a persistência da prática da caça, apesar de sua ilegalidade. Além disso, apesar de fatores limitantes como a não colaboração e o receio da população em participar da pesquisa, o estudo revelou um conhecimento significativamente baixo sobre zoonoses entre os participantes, o que aponta para um risco preocupante para a saúde pública, uma vez que essas pessoas acometidas irão buscar auxílio em unidades de saúde pública. Esses achados destacam a urgência de medidas de conscientização, fiscalização e políticas públicas voltadas para a proteção da biodiversidade e para a promoção da saúde na região tocantina do Maranhão.

No Estado do Rio de Janeiro observa-se expressiva degradação ambiental, cenário que está associado à elevada urbanização, industrialização e densidade demográfica. Para colaborar no processo de reverter esse quadro, o Estudo de Impacto Ambiental (EIA) e o Relatório de Impacto Ambiental (RIMA) são ferramentas utilizadas para prever as alterações que ocorrerão no meio ambiente com a implementação de empreendimentos, sendo úteis para evitar a deterioração da qualidade ambiental. Contudo, é necessário que tais estudos sejam executados com adequada qualidade. Assim, o objetivo deste trabalho foi indicar e analisar as falhas observadas nos EIAs e RIMAs e suas consequências negativas para a proteção da adequada qualidade ambiental no Estado do Rio de Janeiro. Para identificar e analisar as principais falhas nos EIA/RIMAs, foi realizada uma revisão bibliográfica sobre o tema, juntamente com a análise de 10 EIA/RIMAs confeccionados para o licenciamento de empreendimentos ou atividades no Rio de Janeiro. Entre as deficiências observadas nos estudos ambientais estão a apresentação deficitária das alternativas locacionais e tecnológicas, diagnóstico ambiental do meio biológico restrito em relação aos grupos taxonômicos abordados e falhas na apresentação dos impactos ambientais e medidas mitigadoras. Foi possível constatar que deficiências destes estudos ameaçam a eficácia do processo, o meio ambiente e a sociedade. É interessante que as equipes que elaboram os EIA/RIMAs sejam mais cuidadosas na sua preparação. Além dos órgãos ambientais competentes e demais autoridades públicas serem mais rigorosos na avaliação dos estudos ambientais e de todo processo de licenciamento. Os órgãos ambientais competentes podem ainda criar Instruções Técnicas mais exigentes e com instruções minuciosas para orientar a preparação dos EIA/RIMAs. Toda a sociedade e, principalmente, os cidadãos que residem na Área de Influência dos empreendimentos podem acompanhar o processo de licenciamento, se manifestando sobre o projeto proposto, para que os estudos ambientais sejam melhor preparados.
First record of the genus Neosimnia (Gastropoda: Ovulidae) in the Eastern Indian Ocean, with the description of five fossil species from the Miocene of West Java, Indonesia
Authors: Celzard Alain , Dovesi Matteo
Published: May 2024

The genus Neosimnia P. Fisher, 1884, is reported for the first time from Indonesia in the form of several fossil species, recovered together from the Miocene deposits of Tasikmalaya, West Java. The species described closely resemble their current Atlantic counterparts, of which they exhibit all the modern characteristics. Nevertheless, they are undoubtedly new to science, as no living or fossil specimens of this genus are known from the Indian Ocean or the Western Pacific Region.

People who have celiac disease (CD) are probably more likely to have thyroid disorders. A comprehensive systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted to assess the link between thyroid disorders and CD. Articles were selected from PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, Ovid, Embase, Cochrane, ProQuest, and Wiley from February 2022 and earlier. A meta-analysis was conducted to evaluate the outcomes, using odds ratios (ORs) and corresponding 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs). The meta-analysis comprised 31 articles with 3310256 participants including 101253 individuals with thyroid disorders. Overall, the frequency of thyroid disease was notably higher in patients with CD compared to the control groups (OR: 3.06, 95% CI: 2.51 – 3.72, P<0.001). The findings of our meta-analysis support the notion that patients with CD are more likely to have autoimmune thyroid disease (ATD) and other thyroid disorders than the control group, thus indicating that regular screening for thyroid disease is necessary for CD patients. Further cohort research is required to investigate the relationship between thyroid disorders and CD.

Introduction: Fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS) is associated with a positive maternal history of drinking during pregnancy and the presence of characteristic dysmorphic features due to alcohol teratogenic effect. No evidence is yet available regarding the use of growth hormone (GH) for children with FAS for whom GH deficiency has not been confirmed. Case Presentation: We have highlighted an improvement in auxological parameters of a child with FAS and normal GH stimulation tests, using a GH dosage similar to that used in idiopathic GH deficit, without side effects. Conclusion: GH therapy in children with FAS may lead to an improvement in growth rate and an increase in final height, although, this condition is not included in the specific recommendations for use of GH. Prolonged follow-up and prospective studies are needed to evaluate long-term efficacy and monitor any possible onset of side effects.
