Published: June 2024

Objective
To dynamically observe the occurrence of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) after a hip fracture and analyze of the risk factors affecting the dynamic alteration of DVT.

Methods
Data of patients with hip fractures from January 1, 2017 to August 31, 2021 were collected. Patients were divided into DVT and non-DVT groups according to their daily Doppler ultrasonography findings. Survival analysis was used to describe dynamic changes in DVT occurrence with time. Log-rank tests were used to compare the influence of individual factors of patients with DVT occurrence, and a Cox proportional hazards regression model was used to identify the risk factors affecting the dynamic alteration of DVT occurrence.

Results
A total of 331 patients were included: 148(44.7%) had preoperative DVT, and 143 (96.6%) had DVT in the first 3days after admission. The probability of DVT was 0.42 on Day 1, 0.11 on Day 2, 0.10 on Day 3, 0.08 on Day 4, 0.20 on Day 5, and 0.00 on Day 6–7, with a median survival time of 3.30 d. Age>70 years, intertrochanteric fracture, admission hemoglobin<130g/L, and admission hematocrit<40% had a significantly higher occurrence rate of DVT. A hematocrit level of <40% (Hazard Ratio 2.079, 95% Confidence Interval:1.148–3.764, P = 0.016) was an independent risk factor for DVT.

Conclusion
DVT after hip fractures mainly occurred in the first three days after admission, the trend was stabilized within one week, and day 1 had the highest rate of DVT incidence. Age, fracture type, HGB level, and Hct level affected dynamic occurrence of DVT. At constant other factors, Hct<40% was 2.079-fold incidence in the risk of preoperative DVT formation than those with Hct≥40% after hip fracture.

Published: June 2024

Background
Problematic Internet use is characterized by excessive use of online platforms that can result in social isolation, family problems, psychological distress, and even suicide. Problematic Internet use has been associated with cannabis use disorder, however knowledge on the adult population remains limited. In Quebec, cannabis use has significatively increased since 2018, and it is associated with various risks in public safety, public health, and mental health. This study aims to identify factors associated with problematic Internet use among adult cannabis users and to better understand their experiences.

Method
This project is a mixed explanatory sequential study consisting of two phases. Phase 1 (n = 1500) will be a cross-sectional correlational study using probability sampling to examine variables that predispose individuals to problematic Internet use, characteristics associated with cannabis use, Internet use, and the mental health profile of adult cannabis users in Quebec. Descriptive analyses and regression models will be used to determine the relationship between cannabis use and Internet use. Phase 2 (n = 45) will be a descriptive qualitative study in the form of semi-structured interviews aimed at better understanding the experience and background of cannabis users with probable problematic Internet use.

Discussion
The results of this study will support the development of public policies and interventions for the targeted population, by formulating courses of action that contribute to the prevention and reduction of harms associated with cannabis use and problematic Internet use. Furthermore, an integrated knowledge mobilization plan will aid in the large-scale dissemination of information that can result useful to decision-makers, practitioners, members of the scientific community, and the general population regarding the use of cannabis and the Internet.
Comparação do Consumo Alimentar de Adolescentes em uma Escola Pública de Ensino Médio da Zona Urbana com o Consumo Alimentar em sua Residência na Zona Rural em Banabuiú-CE
Authors: Silva Ana Keyla Oliveira da , Silva Rui Barreto da 
Published: June 2024

O consumo alimentar dos adolescentes são influenciados e definidos principalmente a partir do que eles vivenciam em suas casas e em outros locais onde também fazem refeições, como é o caso da escola. A fase da adolescência, período de intensas mudanças e de definições, fase entre dez e dezenove anos, é um período da vida caracterizado por intensas transformações psicológicas, biológicas, e sociais que contribuem para a vulnerabilidade característica desse grupo populacional. Entre estas definições talvez possam estar incluído os gostos alimentares, as preferências em relação ao que ingerir nas refeições e lanches. Considerando essa fase de transformações e definições é importante verificar como os adolescentes moradores da zona rural que estuda na zona urbana constroem os seus hábitos alimentares: o que comem, o que gostam de comer, o que não gostam, o que gostaria de comer, o que eles consideram que interferiram nesses gostos, qual a contribuição dos alimentos presentes em suas casas, ou dos alimentos presentes na merenda escolar. E é isso que objetivo geral da pesquisa busca. A pesquisa foi desenvolvida com jovens adolescentes que moram na zona rural e que estudam em uma pública na zona urbana. Foram feitas entrevistas com uma amostragem desses alunos através da aplicação de questionários com perguntas de múltiplas escolhas e também perguntas abertas. Foi possível perceber, a partir dos resultados, o que os alunos mais consomem em casa e na escola, como também identificar o que é menos consumido por eles. A partir dos resultados são apresentadas propostas viáveis de melhoramento do consumo alimentar desses alunos.

Between Revolution and Reaction: The Political Significance of Kant’s Doctrine of the Idea
Authors: Kryluk Michael 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
This essay argues that Kant’s conception of regulative ideas of practical reason introduced in the Critique of Pure Reason serves an important twofold function in his political philosophy. First, Kant’s version of the ideal, Platonic republic acts as the a priori paradigm of a rightful state to which existing regimes can and should conform. Second, Kant frames the regulative status of such practical ideas as a resolution of the conflict between the extremes of dogmatism and skepticism. In his principal political writings from the 1790s—i. e., “Theory and Practice,” “Perpetual Peace,” and the Doctrine of Right—Kant draws on his account of practical ideas in the Critique to articulate a counterfactual norm of popular sovereignty that distinguishes his political standpoint from opponents on the left and the right. Radicals repeat the error of the dogmatists by affirming that the norm of collective self-legislation is completely attainable in experience. By contrast, conservatives make the mistake of the skeptics by denying that rational political standards can be applied to reality at all. I show that Kant reconciles these extremes through his model of gradual, non-violent political reform guided by the regulative ideal of a perfectly self-legislating state.

The Natural Right to Property as an Instrumental Right
Authors: Křížecký Matěj 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
I argue that Robert Nozick, in his well-known book “Anarchy, State, Utopia”, is working with Locke’s notion of the natural right to property merely instrumentally. I use the term “instrumentally” in the sense that the pieces of the source are not used within the context of the original work but are used atomically to support one’s argument or theory. Instrumental use of Locke’s theory causes incoherence in his theory. This paper introduces the incoherence in the question and explains how this incoherency is inherent to Nozick’s interpretation and usage of Lockean Proviso.

Published: June 2024

Abstract
Understanding the intricate relationship between cancer clinicopathological features and anesthetics dosage is crucial for optimizing patient outcomes and safety during surgery. This retrospective study investigates this relationship in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) undergoing video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS). A comprehensive analysis of medical records was undertaken for NSCLC patients who underwent VATS with intravenous compound inhalation general anesthesia. Patients were categorized based on histological, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and epidural anesthesia factors. Statistical analysis was performed to compare the differences between the groups. The results revealed compelling insights. Specifically, patients with lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) undergoing VATS exhibited higher dosages of rocuronium bromide and midazolam during general anesthesia, coupled with a shorter post-anesthesia care unit (PACU) stay compared to those with squamous cell carcinoma (sqCL). Furthermore, chemotherapy patients undergoing VATS demonstrated diminished requirements for phenylephrine and remifentanil in contrast to their non-chemotherapy counterparts. Similarly, radiotherapy patients undergoing VATS demonstrated a decreased necessity for rocuronium bromide compared to non-radiotherapy patients. Notably, patients who received epidural anesthesia in combination with general anesthesia manifested reduced hydromorphone requirements and prolonged hospital stays compared to those subjected to general anesthesia alone. In conclusion, the findings from this study indicate several important observations in diverse patient groups undergoing VATS. The higher dosages of rocuronium bromide and midazolam in LUAD patients point to potential differences in drug requirements among varying lung cancer types. Additionally, the observed shorter PACU stay in LUAD patients suggests a potentially expedited recovery process. The reduced anesthetic requirements of phenylephrine and remifentanilin chemotherapy patients indicate distinct responses to anesthesia and pain management. Radiotherapy patients requiring lower doses of rocuronium bromide imply a potential impact of prior radiotherapy on muscle relaxation. Finally, the combination of epidural anesthesia with general anesthesia resulted in reduced hydromorphone requirements and longer hospital stays, suggesting the potential benefits of this combined approach in terms of pain management and postoperative recovery. These findings highlight the importance of tailoring anesthesia strategies for specific patient populations to optimize outcomes in VATS procedures.
Hepatic function of glucagon-like peptide-1 and its based diabetes drugs
Authors: Feng Jia Nuo , Jin Tianru 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
Incretins are gut-produced peptide-hormones that potentiate insulin secretion, especially after food intake. The concept of incretin was formed more than 100 years ago, even before insulin was isolated and utilized in the treatment of subjects with type 1 diabetes. The first incretin, glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP), was identified during later 1960’s and early 1970’s; while the second one, known as glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), was recognized during 1980’s. Today, GLP-1-based therapeutic agents [also known as GLP-1 receptor (GLP-1R) agonists, GLP-1RAs] are among the first line drugs for type 2 diabetes. In addition to serving as incretin, extra-pancreatic functions of GLP-1RAs have been broadly recognized, including those in the liver, despite the absence of GLP-1R in hepatic tissue. The existence of insulin-independent or gut-pancreas-liver axis-independent hepatic function of GLP-1RAs explains why those therapeutic agents are effective in subjects with insulin resistance and their profound effect on lipid homeostasis. Following a brief review on the discovery of GLP-1, we reviewed literature on the exploration of hepatic function of GLP-1 and GLP-1RAs and discussed recent studies on the role of hepatic hormone fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21) in mediating function of GLP-1RAs in animal models. This was followed by presenting our perspective views.
Dysregulated bile acid homeostasis: unveiling its role in metabolic diseases

Published: June 2024

Abstract
Maintaining bile acid homeostasis is essential for metabolic health. Bile acid homeostasis encompasses a complex interplay between biosynthesis, conjugation, secretion, and reabsorption. Beyond their vital role in digestion and absorption of lipid-soluble nutrients, bile acids are pivotal in systemic metabolic regulation. Recent studies have linked bile acid dysregulation to the pathogenesis of metabolic diseases, including obesity, type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD). Bile acids are essential signaling molecules that regulate many critical biological processes, including lipid metabolism, energy expenditure, insulin sensitivity, and glucose metabolism. Disruption in bile acid homeostasis contributes to metabolic disease via altered bile acid feedback mechanisms, hormonal dysregulation, interactions with the gut microbiota, and changes in the expression and function of bile acid transporters and receptors. This review summarized the essential molecular pathways and regulatory mechanisms through which bile acid dysregulation contributes to the pathogenesis and progression of obesity, T2DM, and MASLD. We aim to underscore the significance of bile acids as potential diagnostic markers and therapeutic agents in the context of metabolic diseases, providing insights into their application in translational medicine.

Abstract
Chili (Capsicum annuum L.) is one of the most important vegetable cum spice crops grown throughout the world. Evaluation of genotypes based on morphological and yield contributing traits provides the opportunity to assess variability and select superior genotypes. The present investigation was carried out from April 2018 to November 2018 in the summer season and from December 2018 to June 2019 in the winter season in a net house and field, respectively, in the Department of Genetics and Plant Breeding, Patuakhali Science and Technology University, Patuakhali, Bangladesh. A set of 30 qualitative and 13 quantitative characteristics developed by Biodiversity International were recorded to evaluate the genotypes for morphological and yield-contributing traits. The estimated Shannon–Weaver diversity for qualitative traits ranged from 0 to 1.334, where the maximum diversity was recorded for fruit color at an intermediate stage, stem color after transplanting, fruit surface, stigma position, calyx margin shape, and fruit set, while the minimum diversity (H′ = 0) was observed for the traits corolla shape and anthocyanin spots, indicating no diversity of these traits. Thirteen quantitative traits were also analyzed for the selection of the genotypes with the greatest yield. The quantitative traits also exhibited a wide range of variability according to descriptive statistics and analysis of variance. Moreover, the present study revealed a high heritability for almost all of the quantitative traits, which was confirmed by the values of genotypic coefficient of variation, phenotypic coefficient of variation, h
2
b, and GA for both the summer and winter seasons. This suggests that these traits are predominantly governed by additive genes, making them highly amenable to effective selection. The heatmap analysis based on the morphological quantitative traits revealed five clusters for both the summer and winter seasons for the studied chili genotypes, four distinct clusters in the summer season, and three distinct clusters in the winter season for the parameters studied. Using the multi-trait genotype–ideotype distance index based on multiple trait information, the genotypes R-06, R-07, C0525-2, BARI (Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute) Morich-2, Tengakhali, and Rcy 002 were selected as promising for both the summer and winter seasons. Hence, they are recommended for commercial cultivation or use as parent materials in future breeding for the development of new cultivars adaptable to climate change.

Abstract
Non-uniform heat sources and sinks are used to control the temperature of the reaction and ensure that it proceeds at the desired rate. It is worldwide in nature and may be found in all engineering applications such as nuclear reactors, electronic devices, chemical reactors, etc. In food processing, heat is used to cook such as microwave ovens, pasteurize infrared heaters, and sterilize food products. Non-uniform heat sources are mainly used in biomedical applications, such as hyperthermia cancer treatment, to target and kill cancer cells. Because of its ubiquitous nature, the idea is taken as our subject of study. Heat and species transfer analysis of a non-Newtonian fluid flow model under magnetic effects past an extensible moving sheet is modelled and examined. Homogeneous chemical reaction inside the fluid medium is also investigated. This natural phenomenon is framed as a set of Prandtl boundary layer equations under the assumed convective surface boundary constraint. Self-similarity transformation is employed to convert framed boundary layer equations to ordinary differential equations. The resultant system is solved using the efficient finite difference utilized Keller box method with the help of MATLAB programming. The influence of various fluid-affecting parameters on fluid momentum, energy, species diffusion and wall drag, heat, and mass transfer coefficients is studied. Accelerating the Weissenberg number decelerates the fluid velocity. The temperature of the fluid rises due to variations in the non-uniform heat source and sink parameters. Ohmic dissipation affects the temperature profile significantly. Species diffusion reduces when thermophoresis parameter and non-uniform heat source and sink parameters vary. The Eckert number enhances the heat and diffusion transfer rate. Increasing the chemical reaction parameter decreases the shear wall stress and energy transmission rate while improving the diffusion rate. The wall drag coefficient and Sherwood number decrease as the thermophoretic parameter increases whereas the Nusselt number increases. We hope that this work will act as a reference for future scholars who will have to deal with urgent problems related to industrial and technical enclosures.

Published: June 2024

Abstract
Using supplementary cementitious materials in concrete production makes it eco-friendly by decreasing cement usage and the corresponding CO2 emissions. One key measure of concrete’s durability performance is its porosity. An empirical prediction of the porosity of high-performance concrete with added cementitious elements is the goal of this work, which employs machine learning approaches. Binder, water/cement ratio, slag, aggregate content, superplasticizer (SP), fly ash, and curing conditions were considered as inputs in the database. The aim of this study is to create ML models that could evaluate concrete porosity. Gene expression programming (GEP) and multi-expression programming (MEP) were used to develop these models. Statistical tests, Taylor’s diagram, R
2 values, and the difference between experimental and predicted readings were the metrics used to evaluate the models. With R
2 = 0.971, mean absolute error (MAE) = 0.348%, root mean square error (RMSE) = 0.460%, and Nash–Sutcliffe efficiency (NSE) = 0.971, the MEP provided a slightly better-fitted model and improved prediction performance when contrasted with the GEP, which had R
2 = 0.925, MAE = 0.591%, RMSE = 0.745%, and NSE = 0.923. Binder, water/binder ratio, curing conditions, and aggregate content had a direct (positive) relationship with the porosity of concrete, while SP, fly ash, and slag had an indirect (negative) association, according to the SHapley Additive exPlanations study.
