Authors: Solanki Smit Bharat , Mishra Vineet , Mishra Nita , Desai Sejal Ajmera , Alinsod Red 
Published: January 2025

ABSTRACT

Background:
Vaginal laxity and sexual dysfunction are commonly experienced by women, but are typically stigmatized and considered inappropriate to discuss openly. This study was designed to assess the effectiveness and safety of transcutaneous temperature-controlled radiofrequency (TTCRF), in addressing these concerns. The study used a single-blinded randomized sham-control design.

Aims and Objectives:
The aim was to study the role of TTCRF for vaginal rejuvenation using subjective and objective measurements.

Materials and Methods:
Two hundred parous women were randomly assigned to either a treatment group (n = 110) or a sham group (n = 90). Participants who were between 35 and 55 years of age and reported complaints of vaginal laxity, as well as those who presented symptoms such as vaginal flatus or sexual issues, were included. The treatment group was administered TTCRF therapy, whereas the sham group had a placebo procedure to ensure blinding was maintained. The outcome measures included subjective assessments, such as the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI), the Vaginal Laxity Questionnaire (VLQ), the Vaginal Flatus Score (VFS), and the Vaginal Laxity and Bother Score (VLBS), as well as objective measurements, such as the Modified Oxford Score (MOS) and the Genital Hiatus (GH) questionnaire.

Results:
Baseline characteristics were comparable between the groups. Significant improvements in FSFI, VLQ, and VLBS were noted in the treatment group compared to sham at 1 month, 3 months, and 6 months. The MOS improvements did not reach statistical significance, suggesting potential limitations in its use as an objective measure. VFS showed improvement in both the groups, indicating a potential placebo effect. No significant changes were observed in GH. Adverse events were mild and transient, with no serious incidents reported.

Conclusion:
Despite societal taboos, TTCRF demonstrated notable improvements in subjective measures of vaginal laxity and sexual dysfunction over a 6-month period. The safety and outpatient feasibility of TTCRF were established. The findings contribute to understanding the role of TTCRF in managing these sensitive concerns among women.

Abstract
Tear film instability and reduced tear production initiate a vicious circle where hyperosmolarity, ocular inflammation, and apoptosis may induce a damage of the ocular surface including keratitis which is all included in a common condition called dry eye disease (DED). DED can be apparently an isolated ocular surface condition; however, multiple ocular and systemic risk factors have been identified. The association with systemic diseases such as autoimmune diseases, hormonal imbalance, dietary imbalance, metabolic diseases, infections, psychological conditions, and aging together with external causative factors may act independently or interacting each other to initiate and/or perpetuate signs and symptoms typical of this very common ocular surface disease. Rheumatological disorders are most typically associated with dry eye; therefore, strict interaction with rheumatologists is important for the diagnosis and management of DED patients. In the present narrative review, we highlight associations between DED and some of the systemic disorders that may be implicated in the development of the disease.

Authors: Karaçar Ercan , Ünal Aydın , Çilesiz Emre , Atak Onur 
Published: January 2025

Objectives: The study aims to explore the extent to which local products are incorporated into the culinary practices of businesses and chefs in Gerze, a cittaslow city since 2017. It also seeks to evaluate the integration of these products into innovative culinary approaches and their impact on sustainable gastronomy tourism.

Methods: The research employed a qualitative approach, using intentional judgmental sampling to select participants. In-depth interviews with semi-structured questions were conducted with 15 businesses and 15 chefs from the district to gather insights on their understanding and use of local gastronomic heritage.

Results: Findings reveal that both businesses and chefs possess adequate knowledge about gastronomy and the cittaslow movement. While they acknowledge the positive impact of gastronomic products and dishes on tourism, their use of such products is limited due to various challenges. Businesses show a favorable attitude towards innovative culinary practices, whereas chefs display a more negative stance. Additionally, the unsustainability of gastronomic products is identified as a key issue hindering the achievement of sustainability in gastronomy tourism.

Conclusion: To promote sustainable gastronomy tourism, it is essential to increase collaboration between local communities and relevant organizations, enhance education levels, adopt natural agricultural practices, and prioritize the use and sale of local products within businesses. These measures can ensure the preservation and sustainable development of Gerze's gastronomic heritage.
Concordancia entre los parámetros bioeléctricos medidos con dos dispositivos de bioimpedancia distintos en una población adulta española sana, de raza blanca y de amplio rango de edad
Authors: Berral de la Rosa Francisco José , Rojano Ortega Daniel , Moya Amaya Heliodoro , Molina López Antonio , Berral Aguilar Antonio Jesus 
Published: January 2025

Introducción y objetivos: el análisis de bioimpedancia (BIA) es un método no invasivo para la determinación de composición corporal. Las ecuaciones que calculan los componentes corporales acarrean errores, por lo que los parámetros bioeléctricos obtenidos con BIA, resistencia, reactancia y ángulo de fase son usados cada vez más frecuentemente como predictores de estados de salud o de rendimiento. Los objetivos del presente estudio fueron: 1) Comparar los valores bioeléctricos obtenidos por dos dispositivos BIA, uno mano-pie (BIA-101) y otro mano-mano (BIA-TELELAB), en una población adulta española sana, de raza blanca y de amplio rango de edad; 2) Proporcionar valores de referencia de dichos parámetros para ambos dispositivos, que puedan servir para futuros estudios en poblaciones de raza blanca con patologías.
Metodología: 206 sujetos de entre 20 y 70 años participaron en esta investigación. Las mediciones se llevaron a cabo con una corriente de 250 µA y una frecuencia de 50 kHz.
Resultados: los resultados obtenidos para los tres parámetros bioeléctricos son distintos entre ambos dispositivos debido, entre otras cosas, al distinto camino recorrido por la corriente. No obstante, existe una correlación significativa fuerte o muy fuerte entre los valores obtenidos, lo que indica que es posible desarrollar con ellos ecuaciones distintas, pero válidas, para la obtención de composición corporal.
Conclusiones: los valores bioeléctricos obtenidos por ambos dispositivos BIA para una población adulta sana, de raza blanca y amplio rango de edad, con un número relativamente grande de sujetos en cada franja de edad, pueden servir como referencia para estudios futuros.

Urban Traffic Congestion continuing to be major problem in urban areas and is being considered as a perineal issue for transport planners and traffic engineers for designing the mitigation measure and strategy to counter. For any mitigation measure to be proposed or designed, it is necessary to measure the congestion and identify the factors that are causing the congestion. The urban road network and the factors causing the urban traffic congestion are no more characteristic in nature. Instead, they are inconsistent and irregular in characteristics, exhibiting the scale variance when measured on smaller scales. The capacities of the road lanes are falling too short for the traffic to handle efficiently. The actual capacities of the lanes are much lower than the practical capacities. The approach of fractal analysis best fits for the analysis of features showing such characteristics. Hence, this paper presents a study where an existing link in urban road network is analyzed by the concept of fractal geometry and fractal dimensions. The complete link is divided into smaller segments and fractal dimensions are calculated for lane capacities. The fractal dimensions so determined shows that the lane capacity within a link is inconsistent and irregular.
Biodegradation of Cigarette Filters in Natural Environment and Simulated Soil Environment: Decay Rate, Chemical Changes and Ecotoxicity
Authors: Parida Sudesna , Prabhu Santhosh , Tyagi Kamal 
Published: January 2025

Purpose: Cigarette filters degrade over time due to the action of weathering elements such as sun, wind, rain, and mechanical action in the environment. Biodegradation of common cellulose derivatives in different laboratory, natural and man-made environments can be solely a result of biodegradation or a combination of several processes, such as chemical, enzymatic hydrolysis, microbial population and their action including oxidation. This study aimed to assess the biodegradation of cigarette filters through a scientific investigation.
Methodology: This research investigated the biodegradation of cigarette filters in the natural soil environment through two methodologies: (i) the Cage Method and (ii) the Litterbag Method. to understand the fate of cigarette filter in the environment and the time required for complete biodegradation of cigarette filter mass.
Findings: Real-time biodegradation of cellulose acetate (CA) cigarette filter and combined material filter (CMF) was studied using cage method which demonstrated a 100% mass loss for CA cigarette filter and CMF in 33 months and 21 months respectively confirming that cigarette filters complete degrade in natural environment scenario. Biodegradation of cigarette filters in soil under controlled condition was studied using litter bag method which revealed a mass loss of 100% for CMF in 15 months. Similar studies on DE-TowTM filters, CA filters and Saal wood revealed 100%, 99.9% and 45% mass loss respectively in 27 months which clearly demonstrates that cigarette filters biodegrade much faster compared to the known biodegradable material Saal wood. Furthermore, absence of residual secondary cellulose acetate in resulting biomass post biodegradation was confirmed using Gel Permeation Chromatography (GPC) and NMR analysis.
Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: This research underscores the significance of the biodegradation environment and the chemical composition of cigarette filters, along with their degree of substitution, as crucial elements influencing the biodegradation process of these filters. The cigarette filter is constructed from secondary cellulose acetate, which differs from primary cellulose acetate in both physical and chemical characteristics. Contrary to popular belief, this study provides definitive evidence that cigarette filters made from secondary cellulose acetate are indeed biodegradable. The findings of this study will serve as a valuable resource for the scientific community, regulatory bodies, and manufacturers alike.
La symbolique de trois prénoms féminins dans "Les Vertueux" de Yasmina Khadra
Authors: Bengoua Soufiane 
Published: January 2025

Le prénom littéraire est le signe linguistique autour duquel se construit la compréhension du récit. L’auteur deLes Vertueux voue un culte immodéré pour les prénoms. D’ailleurs, lui-même écrit sous un nom de plume relatif aux prénoms de sa femmeYasminaKhadra.Nos différentes lectures des œuvres de l’auteur et en particulier la dernière en date, nous a poussé à nous intéresser aux prénoms attribués aux trois personnages féminins dans le roman, Abla, Lalla et Mariem. Nous pensons que, pour l’auteur,les prénoms appartiennent à des classes lexico-sémantiques au même titre qu’un sujet ou un verbe dans une phrase. Le prénom chez Khadraforge le personnage et non le contraire. Pour lui, le prénom est réel et non fictif et il apparaît comme une composante essentielle de l’écriture romanesque. L’acte de prénommer ces personnages est plus social que littéraire, car non seulement la portée sémantico-culturelle est prégnante, mais en plus, le lecteur averti[1] arrive à cerner l’épaisseur du personnage à travers le prénom.Nous tenterons à travers une analyse sémio-onomastique de cerner la portée symbolique du choix des prénoms féminins utilisés par l’auteur. Trois prénoms féminin relatifs aux trois figures emblématiques dans le récit constitueront le point de départ de cette progression. Nous allons inventorier tous les éléments discursifs relatifs aux trois personnages féminins et comparer leurs prénoms éponymes avec les données historiques, culturelles et religieuses locales pour mettre en exergue l’ampleur de la charge symbolique des prénoms. Cette progression s’appuie sur les travaux de Zonabend (2001) et Iliescu (2013) qui valorisent la conscientisation du personnage qui demeure un acte intimement lié à la dénomination.

Authors: Lanyasunya Ropilo 
Published: January 2025

This study assessed the delivery mode of AABE programme. AABE was introduced by the Kenya Government, religious entities and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) with the aim of promoting access to basic education and enhancing Universal Primary Education for all (UPE). However, school enrolment and literacy levels in Samburu have been low, at (44%) and (12%) respectively, raising the need to examine the success of AABE in meeting the envisaged purpose. The study tested one hypotheses, namely, AABE mode of delivery in Samburu County. The study applied a survey research design and collected data from both primary and secondary sources. Three structured questionnaires were used for 400 learners’ household heads, and 56 teachers in charge of the 56 AABE Centres and 10 AABE providers. Secondary data were obtained from the Ministry of Education offices, AABE Centres, libraries and the internet. A stratified random sampling technique was used to sample the 400 respondents. Data was presented using frequency tabulations, chi-square, multiple regressions and correlation analyses. The findings were as follows: AABE mode of delivery was with (91.1%) of the respondents who stated that it was inappropriate because it was static like school based approach. The study recommended therefore that, in that instance, AABE Centres to be increased and be mobile. The study recommended for more studies to be done on viability of AABE in other nomadic pastoral areas and encompassing other variables.
