Authors: Kumar Rishabh , Kumar Ashutosh , Shanker Anand , Kumar Rakesh
Published: January 2024

Background:

Comminuted fractures of the proximal interphalangeal (PIP) joint are one of the most difficult fractures to treat in hand surgery. Hooks and rubber traction frames are an easy way to do this for fractures. This study aims to describe the outcomes of patients with PIP joint fractures with rubber traction frames.

Materials and Methods:

The results of sixteen patients with PIP joint fractures between 2020 and 2022 were analyzed retrospectively. Patient’s age and sex, time between trauma and surgery, postoperative follow-up period, affected joint site, postoperative complications, PIP and distal interphalangeal (DIP) joint range of motion, and cause of injury were recorded.

Results:

Ten (62.5%) patients were male and six (37.5%) patients were female in this study. The average age of patients was 28.50 ± 3.42 years. The average range of motion of the PIP joint at 12 months postoperatively was 4.88° to 86.25°. During that period, the patient’s average range of motion of the DIP joint ranged from 4.38° to 86.25°. Malunion/nonunion and osteomyelitis were not seen in any patient.

Conclusion:

A pin and rubber traction frame is a safe and effective method for difficult phalanx joint fractures.

Guidelines for the Integration of Electronic Engine Control Systems for Transport Category (Part 25) and General Aviation (Part 23) Aircraft
Authors:   E-36 Electronic Engine Controls Committee
Published: January 2024

This SAE Aerospace Information Report (AIR) provides methodologies and approaches that have been used to install and integrate full-authority-digital-engine-control (FADEC) systems on transport category aircraft. Although most of the information provided is based on turbofan/turboprop engines installed on large commercial transports, many of the issues raised are equally applicable to corporate, general aviation, regional, and commuter aircraft, and to military installations, particularly when commercial aircraft are employed by military users. The word “engine” is used to designate the aircraft propulsion system. The engine station designations used in this report are shown in Figures 1 to 3.

Most of the material concerns an electronic engine control (EEC) with its associated software and its functional integration with the aircraft. However, the report also addresses the physical environment associated with the EEC and its associated wiring and sensors.

Since most current transport category engines use dual-channel FADEC systems, this is the configuration addressed by this report. A typical FADEC system configuration is shown in Figure 4.

Research on the Confucian Revival in Slovenia
Authors: ROŠKER Jana S.
Published: January 2024

There has been a significant amount of research carried out in Slovenia on the revival of Confucianism, particularly since 2012 and 2014, when the first two research projects on this topic were approved. Members of the Department of Asian Studies at the Faculty of Arts, University of Ljubljana, have been consistently conducting research in Slovenia and various Chinese, Taiwanese, and East Asian archives and libraries. These efforts have led to several important publications in Slovene, English, and even Chinese, and represent an ongoing commitment that continues in the present day. Therefore, it is not surprising that the present special issue of the Slovenian academic journal Asian Studies, focusing on the Confucian revival, already marks the fourth special issue in this area of research.
This review article’s objective is thus to summarize the key achievements of Slovenian research in this field and provide a comprehensive overview of the diverse Slovene research activities and publications related to Modern New Confucianism. It covers not only research on the revival of Confucianism in China and the broader Sinic region, but also includes Confucian studies in other East Asian regions and the wider Sinic area.

Authors: Ikinyom N. , Lamwaka A.V. , Malagala A.T. , Ndyomugyenyi E.K.
Published: January 2024

Background: Nutraceutical plants (NP) play a vital role as supportive treatment with antiretroviral drugs (ARVs). However, there is limited  scientific evidence on the efficacy of NP to justify their extensive use. This study aimed to evaluate the antibacterial activity of three nutraceutical plants which are commonly used as antimicrobials.

Methodology: Leaves of Cajanus cajan L. Millsp. and Eucalyptus globulus Labill., and stem bark of Mangifera indica L. were collected from  Northern Uganda. The three samples of each NP were extracted with acetone and the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values of  the extracts against Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Klebsiella pneumoniae were determined using the serial broth microdilution technique [1]. The mean MIC values of the extracts against each bacterial species were  recorded.

Results: The three NP extracts were active against all the four bacteria species with MIC ranging from 0.08 to 2.5 mg/ml. The extract of  Cajanus cajan was very active against Klebsiella pneumoniae with the lowest recorded MIC value of 0.08 mg/ml. The extract of Mangifera  indica bark was very active against Pseudomonas aeruginosa with the lowest MIC of 0.08 mg/ml.

Conclusion: The results of the present  study support the traditional use of the nutraceutical plants as antimicrobials.
Antagonistic activity of secondary metabolites from rhizofunctional bacteria extracts against Fusariumspecies
Authors: Antwi E.O.
Published: January 2024

Background: Fusarium species remain important fugal pathogens that produce several mycotoxins with adverse effects on both plant  and animals. This work aimed to identify biocontrol agent from rhizofunctional bacteria and assess its antagonistic activity against  Fusarium sp. using dual culture technique.

Methodology: Briefly a circular disc of the Fusarium sp. was inoculated at the center of Potato Dextrose Agar (PDA) plate and incubated  for three days. The bacterial isolates were then inoculated about 2cm from the Fusarium hyphal tips and incubated for three days, and  zone of inhibition was examined. Isolates that showed antagonistic activities against the fungi were subculture in nutrient broth for three  days and the metabolites were extracted using ethyl acetate. The metabolic extracts were tested against the fungi using the agar  disc diffusion method.

Results: Of the 20 rhizofunctional bacterial isolates screened for antagonistic activities against Fusarium sp., 5 showed active antagonism  against the fungi with observed clear zone of inhibition in the dual culture, and microscopic examination of the fungal hyphae showed  excessive and diffused hyphal branching with hyphal swelling. Ethyl acetate extracts from nutrient broth cultures did not show any zone  of inhibition in dual culture against the Fusarium sp. All the 5 bacterial isolates were Gram positive strains but only 2 isolates (2a and 3K) were lipase positive, which may indicate that the mechanisms of antagonism could be due to the production of enzymes that have the  ability to hydrolyze the cell wall and membrane lipids of the fungi.

Conclusion: The rhizoplane and rhizosphere of plants could be great sources of biocontrol agents and that bacterial isolates 2a and 3K  have the potential to be used as antifungal agents against Fusarium sp. Molecular identification of 2a and 3K bacterial isolates to the  species level is recommended.

Authors: Washachi Jacob D. , Amoka John A. , Orapine Hycienth O. , Baidu Ali A.
Published: January 2024

Marburg virus disease (MVD) is a severe infection with an extremely high fatality rate, spread through direct and indirect contact. Recently, there was an outbreak of the deadly MVD disease. We studied the transmission dynamics of MVD through the SEQIR model and determined the basic reproduction number, the local stability, and the global stability of the disease-free equilibrium. This study aims to mathematically model the transmission dynamics of MVD using an effective Quarantine Approach. Building upon existing research, the model introduces a quarantine compartment and analyses the disease-free equilibrium.The results indicate that quarantining exposed individuals effectively curb the transmission of MVD and prevents secondary infections. Additionally, the introduction of treatment in the model ensures the survival of patients. However, it is emphasized that further research is essential to develop specific treatments for MVD, as preventive measures alone may not be sufficient to control the disease's spread.
Adsorptive Removal of Selected Toxic Metals from Pharmaceutical Wastewater using Fe3O4/ZnO Nanocomposite
Authors: Mathew John Tsado , Monday Musah , Azeh Yakubu , Mohammed Musa
Published: January 2024

Pharmaceutical wastewater is a major source of environmental contamination, often containing toxic metals that pose significant threats  to ecosystems and public health. This study explores the potential of magnetite/zinc oxide (Fe3O4/ZnO) nanocomposites prepared using  a sol-gel method for the removal of lead, cadmium, and copper ions from pharmaceutical wastewater. The nanocomposite was characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), High-resolution scanning electron microscopy (HRSEM)/energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS)  and Fourier transmission infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The XRD analysis of the nanocomposite identified 2θ (theta), of 31.7º, 34.4º, 36.2º,  47.5º, 56.6º, 62.8º, 66.3º, and 67.9º which correspond to the crystal planes of (100), (002), (101), (102), (110), (103), (200), and (112),  respectively. The diffraction peaks associated with Fe3O4 at 2θ of 18.02º, 29.4º, and 43.3º, related to the crystal planes of (111), (220), and  (400), respectively of the Fe3O4 phase. The HRSEM image of the nanocomposite exhibited spherical-shaped structures of Fe3O4/ZnO, and  some irregular shapes. The effects of the contact time, dosage and temperature on the removal percentage of toxic metal ions were  studied. Freundlich and Langmuir isotherm constants and correlation coefficients were determined and the equilibrium process was  better described by the Langmuir isotherm. The adsorption process followed a second order kinetics and the thermodynamic parameters  showed that the involved process was spontaneous. These findings contribute to the advancement of environmentally   friendly technologies for the pharmaceutical industry and the broader field of wastewater remediation.

Published: January 2024

Paper is light, cheap, easy to use and discard or recycle, and quite environmentally friendly which makes it a popular food packaging  material in Nigeria especially used paper. In this study, 5 different food packaging papers (foil, ink pen, printed, plain and newspapers)  were used to wrap bean cake at varying temperatures (room temperature, 45 oC, 65 oC and 85 oC) for 30 minutes using Atomic  Absorption Spectroscopy. The packaging papers were analyzed for levels of toxicity of 10 heavy metals (Pb, Ni, Cr, Mn, Cu, Zn, Co, As, Hg  and Fe).The quantities of the selected heavy metals in the papers were compared with permitted values published by the European  Council for food contact materials where Pb, Ni, As, Co and Cr were observed to be more than the permitted concentration in the  samples, while Fe, Cu, Zn and Mn were observed within the permitted concentration. The food samples have concentration range of; Ni  (BDL – 0.03 ppm), Pb (BDL – 0.03 ppm), Co (BDL), Ar (BDL) and Cr (BDL – 0.05 ppm) with maximum legal concentrations of 0.02 ppm, 0.01  ppm, 0.01 ppm, 0.1 - 0.2 ppm and 0.05 ppm respectively. Comparison of the determined concentrations of heavy metals in the food  packaging papers with permitted standards for food contact materials suggests that the presence of these contaminants may be  associated with health hazards but the migration of these heavy metals to the food sample were observed to be in low concentrations  and below the permissible level of the WHO/FAO standard for food, except for a few concentrations of lead and nickel which were above  the permissible limit. Even at low concentration, heavy metals are toxic to biological cells as they do not undergo biodegradation. Consequently, they accumulate in humans, leading to various diseases and disorders, even when present in low concentrations. But  based on the migration ability of these heavy metals from the food packaging paper to the food product, the best packaging paper is foil  paper with very low concentration of metals migrating compared to other papers.

Published: January 2024

Purpose: To evaluate the impact of sodium hyaluronate eye drops on tear film stability and tear secretion in patients suffering from rigid gas-permeable contact lenses (RGPCL)-associated xerophthalmia.

Methods: 88 patients treated at Shangrao Aier Eye Hospital, China with RGPCL-associated xerophthalmia were enrolled in this study from May 2021 to May 2022. They were randomly and equally divided into two groups: a study group (treated with sodium hyaluronate eye drops) and a control group (treated with meibomian gland massage). Tear secretion parameters (lacrimal river width, Schirmer I test (S1t), tear fluid lysozyme content), tear film stability indicators (tear film break-up time, tear film thickness, corneal fluorescein staining score), ocular surface disease index (OSDI), therapeutic effect and incidence of adverse reactions were compared between the two groups.

Results: Following the treatment, study group exhibited significantly improved tear secretion compared to control group (p < 0.05). Similarly, tear film stability indicators significantly improved in study group after treatment, accompanied by a reduction in corneal fluorescein staining score (p < 0.05). Although both groups showed decreased OSDI scores after treatment, the reduction was more substantial in study group. Additionally, the therapeutic effect and incidence of adverse reactions were superior in study group compared to control group.

Conclusion: The use of sodium hyaluronate eye drops in the treatment of patients with RGPCL-associated xerophthalmia enhances tear secretion, and improves tear film stability and therapeutic outcomes, leading to a reduction in ocular surface disease index and the incidence of adverse reactions. However, this treatment strategy warrants a large-scale clinical trial prior to application in clinical practice.

Published: January 2024

Objective: Most EFL students need help to develop their speaking abilities. Due to their limited vocabulary, poor grammar, and lack of confidence, they could not practice speaking. Ten students from the English Department joined a study group to address these obstacles. Method: The procedure was carried out online. The teacher created a WhatsApp group as the initial class medium. He added to the vocabulary development and grammar education on the screen. The students studied the material on a video podcast to retell to meet the comprehension criteria, synchronizing their inputs with real life. They then describe a picture to hone their communication skills. They also transcript their story in order to make the spoken and written versions of it coincide. Results: After following the teacher's instructions to build sentences using the lexico-grammar technique, students can identify the grammatical conventions used in podcasts. They can adequately narrate pictures thanks to this type of learning. Their increased confidence fosters mature dialogue. The students' delivery will become more fluid due to the novelty of learning sentence construction through lexico-grammatical techniques and synchronizing it to podcast material. They acquired the ability to apply vocabulary and grammar norms contextually. It was evident from the way they described the images. To fit the needs of their students in the classroom, teachers might change them. It also encourages other researchers to continue their observations.

CLILiG als Chance für den Deutschunterricht in Norwegen: Wunschdenken oder realisierbares Konzept?
Authors: Bauer Karen , Lindemann Beate
Published: January 2024

Während CLIL mittlerweile einen festen Platz in der europäischen Bildungslandschaft hat, scheint sich in Norwegen die Umsetzung des Konzeptes auf vereinzelte Angebote in englischer Sprache zu begrenzen. Gleichzeitig ist die Förderung fächerübergreifenden CLIL-Unterrichts ein wichtiges Ziel der europäischen Sprachenpolitik. Unser Beitrag beschäftigt sich mit der Frage, welche Rahmenbedingungen eine Implementierung von deutschsprachigem CLIL-Unterricht (CLILiG) an norwegischen Schulen ermöglichen könnten beziehungsweise inwiefern CLILiG bereits praktiziert wird. Auf der Grundlage einer Fragebogenerhebung unter 80 Deutschlehrer*innen zielt die hier vorgestellte Studie darüber hinaus darauf ab, Haltungen der Unterrichtenden zu CLILiG abzufragen und aufzudecken, welche Weiterbildungsangebote von Unterrichtenden benötigt werden, um eine Umsetzung von CLILiG in Norwegen möglich zu machen. Unsere Daten zeigen eine große Bereitschaft der Befragten, mit CLILiG zu arbeiten. Sie betonen, dass CLILiG-Angebote mehrsprachiges Arbeiten schulen und fachlich und sprachlich zu verbesserten Kompetenzen der Schüler*innen führen können. Gleichzeitig wird hervorgehoben, dass neben fachlichen und sprachlichen Kompetenzen sowohl adäquate Unterrichtsmaterialien als auch die erforderlichen Rahmenbedingungen an den Schulen vorhanden sein müssen, um CLILiG in Norwegen erfolgreich etablieren zu können.
Panique, le refus de l’autorité surréaliste
Authors: COURRET Joy
Published: January 2024

L’avènement de Panique est le fruit de la rencontre de trois artistes : Roland Topor, Fernando Arrabal, et Alejandro Jodorowsky. Le mouvement – ou plutôt le non-mouvement – apparait en France dans les années 1960 alors que le surréalisme, déjà en déclin, plane toujours sur la vie littéraire et artistique en France. Pourtant, les trois artistes et amis décident de s’émanciper de ce mouvement emblématique auquel ils ont pris part, et plus particulièrement de la figure d’André Breton, en proposant des œuvres qui entendent aller au-delà de la pensée surréaliste.
Autorités politiques et historiens dans l’Aragon du début du XVIIe siècle : une recherche réciproque de légitimité
Authors: ASLOT Kassandre
Published: January 2024

La répression exercée après les révoltes de 1592 et la publication, au début du XVIIe siècle, de récits très critiques envers le système juridique aragonais poussèrent le pouvoir politique aragonais à organiser une campagne de défense de ses particularismes et de promotion de ses institutions. Les chroniqueurs engagés dans ce but durent restaurer l’autorité du royaume en imposant un récit hégémonique. Un processus qui devait également passer par la démonstration de leur propre autorité en tant que chroniqueurs, ce qu’établirent les autorités politiques. Cet article propose ainsi une étude d’une transmission à double sens de l’autorité entre le pouvoir politique et les historiens en Aragon.
La Poésie bilingue en guarani, en quête d’autorité ?
Authors: NARO Manon
Published: January 2024

Cet article propose de réfléchir à l’émergence et aux caractéristiques d’une poésie bilingue (espagnol-guarani) contemporaine à partir de la dialectique écriture et oralité. Nous émettons l’hypothèse que cette poésie est conditionnée par le rapport de force entre l’écriture en espagnol et l’oralité du guarani, hérité du contexte sociolinguistique paraguayen. L’autorité de l’espagnol a été consacrée par une écriture qui dispose d’un pouvoir normatif sur le plan politique, linguistique et littéraire.

Authors: ALVAREZ MARTÍNEZ Guadalupe , FLORES DÍAZ Lizarlett
Published: January 2024

En México, la cultura del narco es el resultado de un proceso de aceptación social de la figura del narcotraficante. Tal situación se produjo por un deterioro paulatino de la legitimidad del Estado Gubernamental que se manifiesta desde las últimas décadas del siglo XX y primera del XXI. Mostraremos cómo la figura del narco se afianzó en el imaginario colectivo, llegando a su cúspide durante la llamada « guerra contra el narco ». En este periodo surgen manifestaciones culturales como respuesta al contexto de violencia, mismas que terminaron por consolidar a la narcocultura como parte inherente de la sociedad.
Réflexion féministe sur les notions de transmission et d’autorité dans le champ du savoir
Authors: TOUTON Isabelle , NOÛS Camille
Published: January 2024

Réflexion féministe sur les notions de transmission et d’autorité dans le champ du savoir. Depuis une perspective diachronique et centré essentiellement sur un corpus et un contexte espagnol et français, cet article propose une réflexion générale sur la place du savoir élaboré, appliqué et transmis par les femmes dans le passé, et la manière dont celles-ci ont été généralement dés-autorisées par la plupart des voix et institutions masculines. De ce constat naît une réflexion sur ce que cet héritage androcentré et autoritaire fait à la transmission des savoirs dans le monde académique et intellectuel de nos jours.
L’ Expérience ontologique de la limite chez Eugenio Trías ou la limite, nouvelle pierre d’angle de son ontologie
Authors: LACAU ST GUILY Camille
Published: January 2024

Cet article vise à revenir sur l'expérience ontologique que fit le philosophe Eugenio Trías, dans son œuvre, l'invitant à découvrir et révéler que l'être de la métaphysique se trouve dans la limite, cette limite qui devient chez lui la pierre d'angle de son ontologie, cette dernière étant en réalité une topologie.
Alphonse le Sage et la construction de la légitimité juridique au XIIIe siècle
Authors: PANATERI Daniel A.
Published: January 2024

Le point clé de ces travaux est la considération du livre de droit comme un bien inviolable. Cependant, j'ai décidé de mettre en évidence un sujet bien connu dans le cadre du phénomène particulier que j'analyse : la relation entre le multiple et l'un. Cela implique que le fondement philosophique, pour ainsi dire, occupe une place centrale dans le discours juridique médiéval castillan que j’analyse. Dans cette article, je parlerai de la façon dont le texte juridique des Siete Partidas du roi Alphonse X de Castille auto-institue comme un livre inviolable.
El Movimiento: el discurso “flamenista” y humorístico de Fernando López Rodríguez, Belén Maya y María del Mar Suárez
Authors: OLIVIER Julie
Published: January 2024

El flamenco siempre ha sido una herramienta artística de compromiso social y en los últimos años, de acuerdo con el auge del movimiento feminista en España, varixs artistas proponen obras explícitamente feministas para (re)pensar el mundo que les rodea. A través del análisis del espectáculo flamenco El Movimiento de Fernando López Rodríguez, Belén Maya y María del Mar Suárez, demostraremos que el uso del humor en el arte flamenco puede ser un arma poderosa en la divulgación de un discurso feminista.
Use of Underground Mining Activities in Earthquake Search and Rescue Works
Authors: Sırrı Sargın Süleyman , Şensöğüt Cem
Published: January 2024

Although the mining sector has the task of providing raw materials directly or indirectly to industrialestablishments, it unfortunately contains great dangers and risks for its employees in terms of occupational health andsafety. Especially in mining enterprises operating underground, roof collapse, sudden gas discharge, flooding, gasexplosions etc. negativities that occur during production cause great material and moral destruction. In such big problems,well-trained rescue teams of mines play an important role in saving the lives of many miners. Earthquake disastersaffecting 11 provinces in Turkey caused great destruction, many people died in building debris and collapses, andbuildings and industrial facilities were severely damaged on Feb. 6 2023. In the search and rescue works that started afterthe earthquake, the outstanding efforts of the underground mine workers in the field and the methods they used in thesestudies attracted the attention of the public. In this study, evaluations were made by giving some underground rescuemethods used in search and rescue activities in the Adıyaman earthquake region which is one of 11 provinces affectedby the disaster in Turkey.

Radiotherapy and blockade of immune checkpoints in treatment of cancer patients
Authors: Hromakova I.А. , Sorochan P.P. , Starenkyi V.P. , Prokhach N.E. , Hromakova I.S.
Published: January 2024

Background. Immunotherapy, which aims to use immune defense mechanisms to fight cancer, is a new area of anticancer treatment. A major breakthrough in tumor immunotherapy was the discovery of immune checkpoint proteins, which act as powerful suppressors of the immune system. Humanized monoclonal antibodies, which target these proteins, have proven to be clinically effective in patients with different types of cancer. However, the majority of patients do not respond to checkpoint inhibitor therapy, which necessitates the use of combination strategies to overcome resistance to immunotherapy. In recent years, the combination of radiotherapy and immune checkpoint inhibitors has attracted considerable attention and has been widely studied in preclinical and clinical trials. Much attention is given to the optimization of combined treatment regimens. However, the optimal radiation dose, fractionation scheme, radiation volumes, and radiation sequence in checkpoint inhibitor treatment still remain unclear. Purpose – to analyze and summarize data from preclinical and clinical trials aimed at solving problems related to the choice of optimal doses, fractionation, radiation volume, and sequencing of checkpoint inhibitor immunotherapy and radiotherapy. Materials and methods. For data search, we used Cochrane library and databases (Pubmed, Scopus, Google Scholar). The results of the studies published over the period from 2008 to 2023 were analyzed. Results and discussion. The evidence of the rationality of combining radiotherapy and checkpoint inhibitors in the treatment of cancer patients is shown. The data on the effects of radiation dose and fractionation on antitumor immune responses were analyzed. The results of works that deal with the search for the optimal sequence of radiotherapy and immune checkpoint inhibitors and the selection of the irradiation volume necessary for the generation of an effective systemic antitumor immune response are considered. Conclusions. Combined treatment with radiation therapy and immune checkpoint inhibitors is a promising strategy for patients with metastatic tumors. Preclinical and clinical data indicate that different radiation regimens can cause different effects on antitumor immunity. Further studies of doses and fractionation regimens of radiation therapy, irradiation volume, and the optimal time for each component of combination therapy are needed to determine the conditions for maximizing the immune response. The obtained results will help optimize the combination treatment regimens and wider implementation of such treatment in clinical practice.
