Aim
To synthesize silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) using Terminalia arjuna bark extract (TABE) and investigate their efficacy in controlling Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus mosquitoes

Background
This research investigates the utilization of Terminalia arjuna bark extract to produce silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) as a means of controlling disease-carrying mosquitoes Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus. The nanoparticles are analyzed using UV-Vis spectrophotometry, XRD, FT-IR analysis, and SEM. In silico studies provide additional investigation into the larvicidal properties of T. arjuna phytochemicals, providing valuable insights into their effectiveness as biocontrol agents.

Objectives
The current research aimed to synthesize silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) using the Terminalia arjuna bark extract (TABE-AgNPs) in controlling the disease-transmitting vectors such as Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus.

Methods
The size of the synthesized nanoparticles was determined using the UV-Vis spectrophotometer, XRD, and FT-IR analysis, and the morphology of the particles was measured using the SEM. The size of the synthesized particles ranged from 28.57 to 79.38 nm. An in silico larvicidal and insecticidal potential of Terminalia arjuna chemical constituents are also carried on the key proteins of mosquitoes using the Schrodinger module.

Results
The biosynthesized AgNPs were investigated for larvicidal effect on the dengue-causing vectors such as Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus. The AgNPs showed a significant larvicidal impact on the mosquitoes after 24 and 48 hours, with the LC50 of 6.49 and 4.50 ppm, respectively. The in-silico research indicates that the chosen phytochemicals of T. arjuna exhibit larvicidal properties due to their high binding affinities with key mosquito proteins of A. aegypti and A. albopictus. Specifically, leucodelphinidin, mannitol, and leucocianidol were found to exhibit mosquitocidal properties. These revealed their insecticidal effects by showing the binding affinities and docking scores of -7.11584 kcal/mol for FK506-binding protein 12, -7.78699 kcal/mol for Arylalkylamine N-acetyltransferase 7, -5.96534 kcal/mol for salivary protein 34k2, -5.78943 kcal/mol for Odorant-binding protein and -7.21602 kcal/mol for young juvenile hormone-binding protein.

Conclusions
Eventually, the present research concluded that the phytochemicals T. arjuna might act as capping and reducing elements during the fabrication of nanoparticles that lead to the potential larvicidal effects after capping with silver. This study also suggested that green synthesized nanoparticles could be potential biocontrol agents in controlling the populations of disease-transmitting vectors.

Published: July 2024

Background
Despite developments in dental shade selection methods, shade selection is still a challenge affecting aesthetic outcomes. Accurate color evaluation is an important factor in dental restoration procedures. An accurate determination of tooth color is crucial for obtaining a definitive result.

Aim and Objective
This study aimed to evaluate the factors affecting the shade-taking accuracy of digital shade-taking devices. The objective was to evaluate the effect of distance, contact angle, moisture condition, and surrounding light on the shade-taking accuracy of two digital shade-taking devices.

Materials and Methods
Bovine teeth were used and thawed in running tap water. The soft tissue remnants are cleansed using a scalpel and polished using 1500 SiC. The shade and color parameters ∆E were recorded at different distances, angles, moisture, and surrounding light.

Results
One-way ANOVA showed a statistically significant color shifting at 2mm and 3mm measuring distance for both devices (p<0.05). A contact angulation of 150, 300, and 450 significantly shifted the color measurement by both devices(p<0.05). In the case of moisture, both devices showed color shifting in certain conditions, however, VITA5 was less affected by the moisture. In the case of surrounding lightness, adding dental unit light significantly shifted the color parameter for VITA5 (p= 0.004), however, it was statistically insignificant for VITA4 (p=0.537)

Conclusions
The distance, angulation, moisture, and surrounding light can affect the shade-taking accuracy of the digital shade guide. The clinician must maintain a standard condition to accurately take shade using a digital shade guide.

Authors: Nagappan Ashwini , Krasniansky Adriana , Knowles Madelyn 
Published: July 2024

Background
Although wearable technology has become increasingly common, comprehensive studies examining its ownership across different sociodemographic groups are limited.

Objective
The aims of this study were to (1) measure wearable device ownership by sociodemographic characteristics in a cohort of US consumers and (2) investigate how these devices are acquired and used for health-related purposes.

Methods
Data from the Rock Health Digital Health Consumer Adoption Survey collected from 2020 to 2022 with 23,974 US participants were analyzed. The sample was US Census–matched for demographics, including age, race/ethnicity, gender, and income. The relationship between sociodemographic factors and wearable ownership was explored using descriptive analysis and multivariate logistic regression.

Results
Of the 23,974 respondents, 10,679 (44.5%) owned wearables. Ownership was higher among younger individuals, those with higher incomes and education levels, and respondents living in urban areas. Compared to those aged 18-24 years, respondents 65 years and older had significantly lower odds of wearable ownership (odds ratio [OR] 0.18, 95% CI 0.16-0.21). Higher annual income (≥US $200,000; OR 2.27, 95% CI 2.01-2.57) and advanced degrees (OR 2.23, 95% CI 2.01-2.48) were strong predictors of ownership. Living in rural areas reduced ownership odds (OR 0.65, 95% CI 0.60-0.72). There was a notable difference in ownership based on gender and health insurance status. Women had slightly higher ownership odds than men (OR 1.10, 95% CI 1.04-1.17). Private insurance increased ownership odds (OR 1.28, 95% CI 1.17-1.40), whereas being uninsured (OR 0.41, 95% CI 0.36-0.47) or on Medicaid (OR 0.75, 95% CI 0.68-0.82) decreased the odds of ownership. Interestingly, minority groups such as non-Hispanic Black (OR 1.14, 95% CI 1.03-1.25) and Hispanic/Latine (OR 1.20, 95% CI 1.10-1.31) respondents showed slightly higher ownership odds than other racial/ethnic groups.

Conclusions
Our findings suggest that despite overall growth in wearable ownership, sociodemographic divides persist. The data indicate a need for equitable access strategies as wearables become integral to clinical and public health domains.

Published: July 2024

The development of the creative economy often experiences problems such as limited access to capital; with the enactment of Government Regulation No. 24 of 2022 concerning the Creative Economy, the government facilitates Intellectual Property-Based Financing Schemes through financial services institutions, but in its implementation, there is a need for legal protection for creative economy actors who want to get a source of financing, besides that many people do not understand how the requirements for filing Intellectual Property-based financing due to the intangible nature of the collateral object. This research uses the normative juridical method. This research uses all laws and regulations to examine more deeply related to the research in question. The research results indicate that the requirements for applying for an Intellectual Property-Based Financing Scheme must be registered and have a certificate from the Directorate General of Intellectual Property. Intellectual Property (IP) in question is copyright and patent rights based on Article 16 paragraph (3) of the Copyright Law and Article 108 of the Patent Law. Legal protection of creative economy actors in the Intellectual Property-Based Financing Scheme has been pursued by the government, including the existence of further regulations issued by the Financial Services Authority, which makes creative economy actors avoid conflicts or financing disputes through insurance contracts, preventing theft of ideas by others, providing incentives from the government to register IP, providing legal assistance before the court process, and providing legal assistance in the event of a financing dispute.

Published: July 2024

Dance performance is not merely a sequence of artistically arranged movements. Instead, a dance performance serves as a cultural communication medium between the creator and the audience. In the presentation of dance, expressed through each movement, there is meaning that goes beyond the physical aspects alone. Whether through harmonious movement or the selection of specific themes, a dance performance acts as a window that opens the audience's view into the world of emotions, values, and stories intended by the creator. The Bubuka Lawang Dance during Nyiar Lumar in Kawali, Ciamis Regency, West Java, showcases a community that continues to preserve and uphold its culture through Nyiar Lumar activities held every two years. Since 1998, Nyiar Lumar has been organized with the aim of building social solidarity through artistic activities in public spaces. This article aims to describe the research findings on the presentation of the Bubuka Lawang Dance during Nyiar Lumar in Kawali, Ciamis Regency. The research method employed is descriptive with a qualitative approach. The results reveal three stages in Nyiar Lumar: ngawalan (Opening ceremony), lalampahan (Journey), and magelaran (Performance). Additionally, there is a distinctive dance always featured during Nyiar Lumar titled "Tari Bubuka Lawang," with a different concept each year. Nyiar Lumar is closely related to the historical event of the Bubat War, which serves as the theme for Nyiar Lumar. The stage concept utilized is an outdoor stage with lighting relying on torches and candles. The movements are categorized into locomotion, pure movement, and symbolic gestures. Nyiar Lumar has become a biennial event to commemorate the history of West Java, Indonesia.

Authors: Cai Wenlong 
Published: July 2024

Abstract
With the continuous improvement of computer vision and deep learning technology, the target detection methods of remote sensing images are also expanding and diversifying. In view of the shortcomings of the current object detection and recognition algorithms in terms of accuracy and versatility, this paper introduces the reverse scale transfer layer and feature pyramid (FPN) modules and applies the attention models of channel attention mechanism and spatial attention mechanism to each module of the convolutional neural network, so that the feature layer can obtain accurate and comprehensive prediction information, and finally proposes a remote sensing image object detection algorithm DCYOLOv7 with high accuracy. Compared with the benchmark model, the accuracy of the algorithm on small, medium, and large targets is improved by 14.69%, 4.14%, and 5.19%, respectively. The DC-YOLOv7 algorithm is improved by 10.15%, 12.16%, 13.18%, and 14.8% compared with the mAP, AP50, AP75, and AR100 of the benchmark algorithm, respectively. DC-YOLOv7 has a better detection application effect than the classical algorithm in the military aspect. The effectiveness and versatility of the target detection and recognition algorithm in the remote sensing images presented in this paper have been verified.

Published: July 2024

Summary

Introduction
Succinic semialdehyde dehydrogenase deficiency (SSADH), also known as 4-hydroxybutyric aciduria (OMIM #271980, 610045), is an ultra-rare neurometabolic disorder inherited in an autosomal recessive pattern. It is usually characterised by a relatively nonprogressive encephalopathy in the first two years of life with hypotonia and developmental delay, associated with mild ataxia and hyporeflexia, as well as delays in language and speech development.

Case report
We report on a case of a four-year-old girl with SSADH deficiency who presented, at the age of 11 months old, with marked hypotonia, global neurodevelopmental delay and epilepsy. The diagnosis of “Succinic semialdehyde dehydrogenase deficiency” was indicated as there was a marked elevation of the levels of 4-hydroxy-butyric and 3,4-dihydroxybutyric acid caused by mutation at the gene ALDH5A1 in the homozygous state, identified with WES technique. Currently, she is four years old and has a severe global psychomotor delay, excessive hypotonia, hyperextensibility, and ataxia and is free of seizures.

Conclusion
At the early stage of clinical presentation, the condition is difficult to differentiate from other encephalopathies. This case report suggests that analysis of urinary organic acids should be performed in all patients at risk to allow early diagnosis. DNA analysis with the WES technique can confirm the diagnosis.
The use of ibuprofen as an anti-seizure medication: a systematic review
Authors: Tristan Ariel , Wijayahadi Noor , Kristina Tri Nur , Jaeri Santoso 
Published: July 2024

Summary

Background
Epileptic seizure is a transient period of signs and symptoms resulting from the abnormal excessive and synchronous neuronal activity in the brain, resulting in brain damage. To prevent complications, the antiseizure medication is needed. Several agents have a potency of anti-seizure effect, including ibuprofen. Unfortunately, there are few studies regarding the anti-seizure effect of ibuprofen.

Aim
To determine the anti-seizure effect of ibuprofen to reduce the symptoms of epileptic seizures.

Materials and Methods
A systematic review using the databases ScienceDirect, SpringerLink, Nature, and Pubmed. The article was obtained using the keywords “ibuprofen” and (“epilepsy” or “anticonvulsant” or “antiseizure” or “epileptic” or “neuroinflammation”) in the period 2012 to 2022 and screened with inclusion and exclusion criteria. Out of the 1376 articles screened, there are three studies included in this review. The SYRCLE Risk of Bias Tool was used to assess the risk of bias, and the data was synthesised using SWiM guidelines.

Results
Ibuprofen affects seizures by reducing the number, grade, and duration of seizure intensity in the PTZ-induced rats. Despite the risk of bias assessment revealing some potential bias in the studies, our study shows that ibuprofen has potency as an additional agent for epileptic seizures among febrile convulsive patients.

Conclusion
In animal models of seizures, ibuprofen has an antiseizure effect by reducing the number, grade, and duration of seizures.
The Dog Bites: On the “Aggressive” Antipassive in Slavic and Baltic
Authors: Bondarenko Alice 
Published: July 2024

Abstract
Several Slavic and Baltic languages have an “aggressive” antipassive construction, where in a reflexive marker is used to mark object omission. The construction often carries habitual or potential aspectual meanings and is restricted to a small group of verbs. This study examines the lexical restrictions of the constructions across a sample of 11 Slavic and Baltic languages, with a special focus on Russian. The results show that across the languages, the construction is used to express a set of concepts, of which ‘hit’ and ‘push’ are the most prototypical. Verbs used in the antipassive express unwanted action on an animate patient, and they also share features of inherent atelicity and potential reciprocality. All languages in the survey display syncretism of reciprocal and antipassive markers, resulting in ambiguous plural subject constructions. Based on this, it is suggested that the “aggressive” antipassive with animate subjects has grammaticalized from the reciprocal function of the reflexive marker. Lexical semantics hence play an important role in the extension of functions of reflexive markers in these languages.
