Learning Preference of Health Care Professional Students at a Multi-culturalUniversity in the United Arab Emirates
Authors: David Sheeba M. , Ilesanmi Rose E. , Hanson Victoria F. , Edwin Vimala 
Published: June 2024

Background:
Identifying the preferred learning modalities of students is crucial for a comprehensive understanding of the content of the study, and this can be
achieved by employing the VARK inventory developed by Neil D. Fleming. The preferred learning modality of students significantly influences
their learning outcomes.

Aim:
This study aimed to identify the preferred learning modalities among health professional students.

Methods:
Using a cross-sectional survey study design, we surveyed a consecutive sample of 351 students from three health professional programs: Nursing,
Medical, and Pharmacy. After obtaining institutional board approval, a standardized self-administered VARK inventory (Visual, Aural,
Read/write, Kinaesthetic), version 7.8, was employed. VARK scores were computed for each respondent and sent to the publisher for interpretation
and categorization of learning preferences. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 28.0 and 29.0.

Results:
The findings revealed that 35.9% of participants were between 18-20 years old and identified as unimodal learners, with 19.1% preferring
kinaesthetic learning. In the bimodal and trimodal categories, 5.98% exhibited preferences for AK (Aural, Kinaesthetic) and VAK (Visual, Aural,
and Kinaesthetic). Only seventy students (19.9%) preferred multimodal learning patterns. Notably, all the college students were identified as
unimodal learners.

Conclusion:
Understanding these diverse learning preferences empowers students to employ appropriate learning methods, enhancing their overall learning
experience. Faculty members can leverage this data to tailor teaching styles, thereby optimizing the learning environment. Further research across
different universities can contribute to broader knowledge and informed strategies that promote effective learning processes.
A Case Report of Aberrant Origin of the Right Coronary Artery from thePulmonary Artery in an Adult Male: The Role of Multi-modality Imaging
Authors: Tabatabai Sadeq , Abushabana Mosaad , Osman Hesham , Zarger Parveez Ahamad , Osman Hind Hassan , Zaky Hosam 
Published: June 2024

Background:
The normal anatomy of the coronary arteries consists of the right coronary artery and the left main coronary artery, which originate from the right
and left sinuses of Valsalva in the aortic root separately. In general, congenital anomalies of the coronary artery are uncommon in adults. The
ectopic origin of a coronary artery from the pulmonary trunk is part of a group of infrequent coronary artery anomalies. The Anomalous origin of
the Right Coronary Artery from the Pulmonary Artery (ARCAPA) is thought to be an extremely rare congenital coronary artery anomaly. Most of
our knowledge and experience about this congenital coronary malformation is derived from published case reports and series.

Case Presentation:
We have, herein, reported the case of a 68-year-old male who was discovered to have ARCAPA after he presented to our center with chest pain.
The patient underwent multiple invasive and non-invasive diagnostic imaging modalities, including an echocardiogram, a coronary angiogram, a
multislice-gated coronary computed tomographic angiogram, and stress perfusion cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging. The clinical
decision was to continue with conservative non-surgical management along with close follow-up.

Conclusion:
The ARCAPA anomaly is considered to be one of the rare congenital coronary artery variances that can be discovered in late adulthood as a patient
may remain asymptomatic for many decades.
Numerical Simulation of Temperature Distribution and Residual Stress in Laser Beam Welding AA6061 and Ti-6Al-4V and Optimization of Welding Processes
Authors: Merga Alemu , Mosisa Gutema Endalkachew , Gopal Mahesh , Lemu Hirpa G. 
Published: June 2024

Background:
Since the combination of its rapid processing speed and high energy input,
laser beam welding is considered advanced and suitable for welding thin and lightweight metals.
The residual stresses deposited in the parts as a result of rapid heating and cooling render laserwelded
components susceptible to fractures and deformities.

Objective:
In this patent, the modelling of the laser beam welding process during the joining of Ti-
6Al-4V and AA6061 dissimilar metals to analyze the effects of the welding process on residual
stress and elastic strain by considering beam radius, beam offset, welding speed, and beam power as
input parameters.

Methods:
The 3D model of the Ti-6Al-4V and AA6061 was developed using CATIA V5R16 software
and beam radius. Beam offset, welding speed, and beam power are the input parameters considered,
and the output parameters are stress and elastic strain. Design Expert is used to design the
experiment. ANOVA was used, and a mathematical model was developed to analyze the performance
characteristics of the welding process.

Results:
The results revealed that increasing the laser power increases residual stress, whereas it
decreases with increasing the other parameters. The maximum average equivalent von Mises stress
was 288.79 MPa, which is near the yield strength of AA6061. The optimum welding conditions selected
for minimum possible residual stress is 1600.003 W, welding speed 0.05 m/s, beam radius
0.014 m.

Conclusion:
Based on the current observation during the simulation of joining dissimilar metals, the
flow temperature along the weld line and weldment shows uneven distribution due to the dissimilarity
of temperature-dependent properties of materials. The increased laser power leads to an increase
in residual stress.
Synthesis of Bis-pyrazole Derivatives Using Coal Fly Ash @CuO Coreshell Nanocomposite and their Molecular Docking against Human Tyrosyl DNA Phosphodiesterase I
Authors: Thakare Savita Vasantrao , Borhade Ashok Vishram , Sangle Shilpa Laxman 
Published: June 2024

Background:
For catalyzing carbon-carbon and carbon-heteroatom bond formation reactions, core-shell nanocomposites have attracted particular attention as invincible
heterogeneous catalysts. Heterocyclic motifs like pyrazole have been used in anticancer
drugs. Moreover, DNA repair enzymes are also an efficient target for developing potential
anticancer therapies.

Methods:
Novel core-shell nanocomposite coal fly ash @CuO has been produced by loading
the precursor Cu(NO3)2.3H2O on a thermally and chemically activated Coal Fly Ash (CFA)
core. Triton X-100 surfactant was used to increase the uniform adhesive coating of the CuO
shell on the fly ash core. The structure and physicochemical properties of the composite
were elucidated through techniques, such as Fourier-Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), Field Emission Scanning Electron MicroscopyEnergy-Dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (FE-SEM and EDAX), Transmission Electron Microscopy, Selected Area Electron Diffraction (TEM and SEAD), and Brunauer-EmmettTeller (BET) surface analysis. Then, the catalytic efficiency of CFA@CuO was checked for
the synthesis of bis-pyrazole derivatives. Furthermore, we also executed docking simulations
between 1QZQ and bis pyrazole molecules to assess the affinity and binding orientation of
the ligand.

Results:
Compared to synthesized CuO nanoparticles, the catalytic activity of CFA@CuO
could be found promising as it offers high yield and purity of bis-pyrazole derivatives. After
the completion of the reaction, the catalyst was separated and recycled. It was found that the
yield of this catalyst remained unchanged even after four consecutive runs. A docking simulation was performed between 1QZQ and bis-pyrazole derivatives, proving that pyrazoles
are a better source for inhibiting selectively tyrosyl DNA phosphodiesterase I.

Conclusion:
Herein, we report a convenient and efficient practical protocol for the preparation of 4, 4-(arylmethylene)-bis (3-methyl-1-phenylpyrazol-5-ols) and its derivatives using
Tandem- Knoevenagel-Michael cyclocondensation of aromatic aldehydes, ethyl acetoacetate, and phenyl hydrazine using CFA@CuO nanocomposite as a heterogeneous nanoscale
and recyclable catalyst. A molecular docking study concluded that 4’-(4-
nitrophenylmethylene) bis(3-methyl-1phenyl-1H-pyrazol-5-ols) is a better inhibitor of lead
against 1QZQ among all synthesized derivatives, suggesting it a potent hydrophobic lead
drug candidate as phosphodiesterase inhibitor

Authors: Correia Jorge César , Ahmad Sarmad Shaharyar , Waqas Ahmed , Meraj Hafsa , Pataky Zoltan 
Published: June 2024

Background
Obesity is a chronic, multifactorial, and relapsing disease, affecting people of all ages worldwide, and is directly related to multiple complications. Understanding public attitudes and perceptions toward obesity is essential for developing effective health policies, prevention strategies, and treatment approaches.

Objective
This study investigated the sentiments of the general public, celebrities, and important organizations regarding obesity using social media data, specifically from Twitter (subsequently rebranded as X).

Methods
The study analyzes a dataset of 53,414 tweets related to obesity posted on Twitter during the COVID-19 pandemic, from April 2019 to December 2022. Sentiment analysis was performed using the XLM-RoBERTa-base model, and topic modeling was conducted using the BERTopic library.

Results
The analysis revealed that tweets regarding obesity were predominantly negative. Spikes in Twitter activity correlated with significant political events, such as the exchange of obesity-related comments between US politicians and criticism of the United Kingdom’s obesity campaign. Topic modeling identified 243 clusters representing various obesity-related topics, such as childhood obesity; the US President’s obesity struggle; COVID-19 vaccinations; the UK government’s obesity campaign; body shaming; racism and high obesity rates among Black American people; smoking, substance abuse, and alcohol consumption among people with obesity; environmental risk factors; and surgical treatments.

Conclusions
Twitter serves as a valuable source for understanding obesity-related sentiments and attitudes among the public, celebrities, and influential organizations. Sentiments regarding obesity were predominantly negative. Negative portrayals of obesity by influential politicians and celebrities were shown to contribute to negative public sentiments, which can have adverse effects on public health. It is essential for public figures to be mindful of their impact on public opinion and the potential consequences of their statements.

Authors: Jahnel Tina , Pan Chen-Chia , Pedros Barnils Núria , Muellmann Saskia , Freye Merle , Dassow Hans-Henrik , Lange Oliver , Reinschluessel Anke V , Rogowski Wolf , Gerhardus Ansgar 
Published: June 2024

Background
Digital public health (DiPH) interventions may help us tackle substantial public health challenges and reach historically underserved populations, in addition to presenting valuable opportunities to improve and complement existing services. However, DiPH interventions are often triggered through technological advancements and opportunities rather than public health needs. To develop and evaluate interventions designed to serve public health needs, a comprehensive framework is needed that systematically covers all aspects with relevance for public health. This includes considering the complexity of the technology, the context in which the technology is supposed to operate, its implementation, and its effects on public health, including ethical, legal, and social aspects.

Objective
We aimed to develop such a DiPH framework with a comprehensive list of core principles to be considered throughout the development and evaluation process of any DiPH intervention.

Methods
The resulting digital public health framework (DigiPHrame) was based on a scoping review of existing digital health and public health frameworks. After extracting all assessment criteria from these frameworks, we clustered the criteria. During a series of multidisciplinary meetings with experts from the Leibniz ScienceCampus Digital Public Health, we restructured each domain to represent the complexity of DiPH. In this paper, we used a COVID-19 contact–tracing app as a use case to illustrate how DigiPHrame may be applied to assess DiPH interventions.

Results
The current version of DigiPHrame consists of 182 questions nested under 12 domains. Domain 1 describes the current status of health needs and existing interventions; domains 2 and 3, the DiPH technology under assessment and aspects related to human-computer interaction, respectively; domains 4 and 5, structural and process aspects, respectively; and domains 6-12, contextual conditions and the outcomes of the DiPH intervention from broad perspectives. In the CWA use case, a number of questions relevant during its development but also important for assessors once the CWA was available were highlighted.

Conclusions
DigiPHrame is a comprehensive framework for the development and assessment of digital technologies designed for public health purposes. It is a living framework and will, therefore, be updated regularly and as new public health needs and technological advancements emerge.
problèmes sociaux révélés par la fiction critique française contemporaine : Cora dans la spirale de Vincent Message
Authors: Landais Choimet Monique 
Published: June 2024

Faisant suite au projet de recherche réalisé entre 2019 et 2021, La Littérature de terrain qui vise à réparer le monde, le présent article propose une lecture sociocritique d’un roman contemporain intitulé Cora dans la spirale (2019) de Vincent Message. Il convient de préciser l’emphase mise sur la démarche méthodologique afin de faciliter une future application de cette approche sociocritique pour tout lecteur à d’autres textes. Dans un premier temps, il s’agit d’élaborer un cadre théorico-critique qui fournisse les définitions des concepts-clé adaptés à ce récit littéraire : sociogramme, sociotexte/chronotope, médiations discursives et sociales qui concernent le domaine littéraire ainsi que deux autres critères fondamentaux pour la présente analyse, habitus et imaginaire social, empruntés à la sociologie. Ce référent définitionnel s’appuie sur l’apport de sociocriticiens et sociologues tels que Claude Duchet, Patrick Maurus, Pierre Popovic, Anthony Glinoer et Pierre Bourdieu, ou bien sur d’autres penseurs, François Hartog et Dominique Viart, entre autres, dans le but de nourrir notre lecture grâce à l’appropriation de catégories provenant d’autres disciplines. Dans un deuxième temps, ce même paradigme conceptuel sous-tend la lecture afin de révéler les rouages sociaux-économiques sous-jacents qui perturbent profondément l’existence des protagonistes. À ceci, il faut ajouter que l’approche proposée se veut ouverte et perfectible ainsi que le souhaite la sociocritique au pluriel, personnelle et collective, hétérogène et internationaliste.
Mots-clés : approche sociocritique, démarche méthodologique, romans contemporains, dialogues interdisciplinaires, Claude Duchet, lecture ouverte, rouages socio-économiques.

Published: June 2024

OBJECTIVE
We aimed to identify metabolites associated with loss of glycemic control in youth-onset type 2 diabetes.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS
We measured 480 metabolites in fasting plasma samples from the TODAY (Treatment Options for Type 2 Diabetes in Adolescents and Youth) study. Participants (N = 393; age 10–17 years) were randomly assigned to metformin, metformin plus rosiglitazone, or metformin plus lifestyle intervention. Additional metabolomic measurements after 36 months were obtained in 304 participants. Cox models were used to assess baseline metabolites, interaction of metabolites and treatment group, and change in metabolites (0–36 months), with loss of glycemic control adjusted for age, sex, race, treatment group, and BMI. Metabolite prediction models of glycemic failure were generated using elastic net regression and compared with clinical risk factors.

RESULTS
Loss of glycemic control (HbA1c ≥8% or insulin therapy) occurred in 179 of 393 participants (mean 12.4 months). Baseline levels of 33 metabolites were associated with loss of glycemic control (q &lt; 0.05). Associations of hexose and xanthurenic acid with treatment failure differed by treatment randomization; youths with higher baseline levels of these two compounds had a lower risk of treatment failure with metformin alone. For three metabolites, changes from 0 to 36 months were associated with loss of glycemic control (q &lt; 0.05). Changes in d-gluconic acid and 1,5-AG/1-deoxyglucose, but not baseline levels of measured metabolites, predicted treatment failure better than changes in HbA1c or measures of β-cell function.

CONCLUSIONS
Metabolomics provides insight into circulating small molecules associated with loss of glycemic control and may highlight metabolic pathways contributing to treatment failure in youth-onset diabetes.

First Report of Setaria equina Microfilariae Infection in an Adult Argentine Polo Pony Mare in Nigeria: A Case Report
Authors: Akinniyi Olumide O. , Vaughan Julie 
Published: June 2024

Abstract

Setaria equina is a common parasitic infection in horses that is transmitted by mosquitoes. The absence of previous reports regarding the presence of Setaria equina microfilariae in Nigerian horses highlights the need to confirm its existence in the region. Verifying the existence of this parasite would enhance our overall understanding of its global distribution, which could then inform the development of more effective control measures. This paper reports a case of Setaria equina microfilariae infection in an adult Argentine polo pony mare in Nigeria. The recently acquired adult Argentine polo pony mare was exhibiting depression and weight loss. Despite normal vital parameters, the horse had a poor body condition and no history of deworming. Laboratory analyses, including wet blood film examination, complete blood count, and serum biochemistry, revealed the presence of Setaria equina microfilariae and macrocytic hypochromic anaemia. Treatment involved a five-day course of intramuscular multivitamin injections and three weeks of subcutaneous ivermectin injections. Follow-up examinations demonstrated the absence of microfilaria and a return to an active and lively state. The case report details the clinical presentation, diagnostic process, and successful treatment of a recently acquired adult Argentine polo pony mare. A consistent deworming regimen is essential for horses, including those recently acquired, to prevent parasitic infections and enhance their overall well-being.
Foot and Mouth Disease in North Africa: Epidemiology and Control Strategies
Authors: Hemida Houari , Merdja Khaldia , Boumezrag Assia 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
Foot and mouth disease (FMD) is a highly contagious viral disease affecting livestock, caused by the Foot and Mouth Disease Virus (FMDV). The North African region is vulnerable to transboundary diseases, and the livestock population at risk is substantial. The genetic diversity of FMDV in the region poses challenges for control measures, as vaccination or recovery from one serotype does not guarantee protection against others. The risk of disease introduction through illegal animal movement is leading North African countries to follow strict WOAH sanitary measures and animal movement controls. Algeria has faced multiple outbreaks, some linked to the illegal movement of animals across borders. Tunisia experienced outbreaks in 2014 and 2017, with genomic analysis indicating connections to West African countries. Libya encountered historical FMDV incursions, and despite control efforts, illegal animal movement and inadequate facilities posed challenges. Morocco reported outbreaks in 1991 and later in 2015, introducing vaccination strategies. Egypt’s FMD history showed multiple serotypes causing outbreaks. Control strategies include vaccination, compensation for affected farmers, and control measures such as disease notification, surveillance, and movement restrictions. The compensation rates for farmers vary depending on factors such as animal type and the approved compensation approach. In conclusion, the complexity of FMD control in North Africa, highlights the need for regional collaboration, effective control measures, and ongoing vigilance to mitigate the economic and health impacts of the disease.
