Influence of Borides on microstructure and mechanical properties of a Ni alloy
Authors: Kaya Esad , Buytoz Soner 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
Ni alloys are known to exhibit superior creep strength, chemical stability, and thermal resistance behavior at elevated temperatures. However, they also exhibit inadequate mechanical performance. Hence, the microstructures and, in relation to that, mechanical properties need to be improved. In this study, the effect of reinforcement of TiB2 on microstructural and mechanical properties was evaluated. The Ni matrix is reinforced with TiB2 particles. TiB2–Ni composites were successfully produced by the hot pressing method. Homogenously distributed TiB2 particles were observed in the microstructure using the energy dispersive spectrometry (EDS) mapping technique. The hardness of the reinforced samples was considerably improved by 2.65–8.12 times compared to pure Ni and between the different content of borides. A three-point bending test was performed to examine the mechanical behaviors of the reinforced composites. The bending stress properties of metal matrix composite (MMC) were significantly influenced by TiB2 content both positively and adversely. The optimum chemical content was determined based on bending tests and fractography. As a result, the 15 wt.% TiB2-reinforced sample exhibited superior microstructural (density), hardness, and bending properties compared to pure Ni and other reinforced samples with different ratios.

Published: June 2024

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE
The reported rising global rates of invasive group A Streptococcus (iGAS) infection raise concern for disease related increase in critical illness and fatalities. An enhanced understanding of various presentations to health care and clinical course could improve early recognition and therapy in children with iGAS. The objective of this study was to describe the epidemiology of iGAS infections among children admitted to critical care.

METHODS
A retrospective cohort study of children admitted to the PICU at The Hospital for Sick Children, in Toronto, Canada, between March 2022 and June 2023. Eligible patients were 0 to 18 years, with a diagnosis of iGAS infection. We describe the proportion of children admitted to the PICU with iGAS over the study period, their clinical characteristics, the frequency and timing of therapies, discharge versus baseline function, and PICU mortality.

RESULTS
Among the 1820 children admitted to the PICU, 29 (1.6%) patients had iGAS infection. Of these 29 patients, 80% (n = 23) survived to hospital discharge. Patients who survived generally had favorable functional outcomes. Despite the high severity of illness and mortality described in this cohort, 61% returned to their baseline functional status by hospital discharge.

CONCLUSIONS
This is the first report of critically ill children with iGAS in Canada during the increased incidence reported worldwide. We describe the clinical course of iGAS infection in children admitted to PICU with access to advanced extracorporeal interventions. Though there is a high mortality rate in this cohort, those who survive have favorable outcomes.
Mucocutaneous lesions associated with lymphoproliferative disorder: a case report
Authors: Borda-Pedraza Katherin Andrea , Arias-Pedroza Viviana Leticia , Quinche-Pardo Mauricio Ernesto 
Published: June 2024

Introduction: Leukemia is a type of blood cancer characterized by the accumulation of mature or immature cells in the bone marrow (BM), peripheral blood, lymph nodes, and lymphoid tissues. These cells can cause extranodal infiltration in tissues such as skin (leukemia cutis [LC]) and mucous membranes, being these locations rare.
Case presentation: The patient was referred to a university hospital, where BM and computed tomography tests were performed, showing peripheral lymphatic involvement and maxillary paranasal sinus (PNS) opacity. Subsequently, functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) of the PNS was performed and biopsies were taken from the skin lesion and PNS mucosa. Based on the results of the BM tests, the patient was diagnosed with B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia, so chemotherapy (CT) was initiated. The biopsy report described infiltration of leukemoid neoplastic cells in both locations (skin lesion and PNS mucosa), confirmed by immunohistochemistry. During CT, the patient developed bone marrow aplasia, tumor lysis syndrome and septic and hypovolemic shock, which eventually led to his death.
Conclusion: LC is a rare condition associated with poor prognosis, so once detected it is necessary to initiate systemic treatment and look for possible extramedullary metastases. PNS opacity in patients with oncologic immunosuppression is usually considered as nasosinusal infection; however, it may also be secondary to an unusual infiltrative involvement of leukemia.
'Secret' Teachings of a Transnational Yoga and Tantra School
Authors: Olsson Tova 
Published: June 2024

This article will present a pilot study on the Romanian school of yoga and tantra, MISA. MISA, or the Movement for Spiritual Integration into the Absolute, has gained reputation as a controversial organization through the last decades as its leader, Gregorian Bivolaru, has been accused of sexual misconduct and human trafficking on several occasions and is currently wanted by Interpol. Yet his influence is spreading through European yoga studios as people enter MISA (often unknowingly of the organization’s problematic past), expecting esoteric and authentic teachings on yoga and tantra. This article will use a textual analysis of the material handed out during two year-long MISA yoga and tantra-courses, to examine the foundational teachings of a transnational yoga school in constant expansion, and how they relate to a broader religious-historical context of modern yoga and tantra, taking into special consideration the use of secrecy, claims of authenticity and the construction of gender. The article shows that, on the surface, MISA resembles many other contemporary schools of yoga and tantra, while a closer look reveals an emphasis on sexual continence that stands out, assuring the continuous reputation of the organization as both provocative and tantalizing.
Problem-solving activity during the foreign language writing process: A proposal for categorisation and visualisation of source use and a new take on fluency in multilingual writing
Authors: Kruse Mari 
Published: June 2024

Writing processes constitute a complex interplay of planning, formulation and revision. Ideas take shape through the activation of previous knowledge and, when permitted, also its synthesis with information from sources that help to complement it and resolve doubts and shortcomings arising during writing. The possibility to use external help can be especially useful to those writing in a foreign language, and questions about the nature of the sources consulted can contribute new insights into language processing in the multilingual mind, as well as expand our notion of fluency. While leaving the target text is often considered a distraction, a ‘breakdown’ in fluency, it is, in fact, a part of language processing and text creation.
This article proposes a novel way to use keylogging data from Inputlog (Leijten and Van Waes 2013) to visualise the crosslinguistic nature of solving language and content problems in L3+ writing: creating process graphs to display the temporal dynamics of different types of sources used. The example data comes from a university-level course on Spanish linguistics, where Spanish was a third or subsequent language for the participants. Evidently, the vast majority of their external activity was language-related and brief, and, interestingly, a great part of it recurs to a lingua franca, English. Some social context and reasoning is offered to explain such an observation.
Contribution Du Petit Elevage Au Développement Socio-Economique De L’arrondissement De Yagoua (Extrême-Nord, Cameroun)
Authors: Dieudonné BOUBA , Joël FISSOU Henri 
Published: June 2024

La présente étude analyse la contribution de l’élevage du petit élevage (petits ruminants, volaille et élevage porcin) au développement socio-économique de Yagoua à l’Extrême-Nord du Cameroun. Elle combine une documentation relative aux questions de développement rural et de la pratique de l’élevage en zone soudano-sahélienne. Les enquêtes de terrain sont menées dans sept localités où le petit élevage est grandement pratiqué. Un échantillon de 173 personnes (chefs de ménages) est ainsi constitué pour ces enquêtes à travers l’administration directe des questionnaires et des entretiens. Les résultats du terrain attestent que l’élevage à Yagoua se pratique encore de façon traditionnelle, combinant à la fois les facteurs de production naturels et anthropiques. L’élevage prédominant est celui des petits ruminants (les moutons, chèvres), de la volaille (poules, canards, pintades, pigeons) et l’élevage porcin. Cet élevage est possible grâce à une multitude d’acteurs regroupés en deux catégories : les acteurs directs (la population paysanne, les GIC, les coopératives, et le CODAS) et les acteurs indirects (les structures étatiques, paraétatiques, les ONG, les programmes, les projets). Cette activité se pratique via les modes de production variant d’un type à l’autre. Malgré quelques difficultés économique, infrastructurelle et naturelle dont font face les différents acteurs, le petit élevage contribue au développement socio-économique dans l’arrondissement de Yagoua car il procure des revenus monétaires aux populations et contribue à leur alimentation. Il importe donc aux politiques et aux programmes de soutien à l’élevage au Cameroun en générale et à l’Extrême-Nord en particulier de renforcer leurs interventions à travers la formation, l’accès aux services vétérinaires, et l'amélioration des infrastructures de marché.

Published: June 2024

Background: An experiment was conducted to study the chemical composition of spent mushroom (Pleuroyus ostreatus) paddy straw (SMPS) and its nutritive value in cattle. Samples of the SMPS were collected from various mushroom farms of Assam and were analysed for proximate principles according to the AOAC (2012) and fraction of fibre were estimated according to the Van Soest method (1991). Methods: Three digestion trials were conducted to evaluate the nutritive value of SMPS (difference method) by using a group of six mature healthy and non-productive cows of approximately same age and similar body weight. In first trial, only para grass was fed to animals, in second trial, para grass along with GNC were fed together and in third trial, SMPS and GNC were fed together to determine the digestibility for various nutrients of the SMPS. Result: The average chemical composition of SMPS were 42.65±1.33, 76.30±0.40, 7.23±0.24, 1.31±0.06, 21.25±0.76, 23.69±0.49, 46.51±0.57, 62.03±1.18 and 49.26±0.67 per cent of DM, OM, CP, EE, CF, TA, NFE, NDF and ADF, respectively. The DCP and TDN content of SMPS were 4.75 and 59.76 per cent, respectively. From the results obtained, it could be concluded that Spent Mushroom (Pleurotus ostroeatus) paddy straw had higher CP and total ash and lower CF and higher nutritive value (DCP and TDN) compared to paddy straw and could be used as a maintenance types of roughage source for feeding to cattle.
Reevaluating the Rythu Bandhu Scheme: Toward Sustainable and Inclusive Agriculture in Telangana: A Review
Authors: Katherasala Srinivas , Bheenaveni Ram Shepherd 
Published: June 2024

The Rythu Bandhu Scheme (RBS), initiated by the Government of Telangana, India, on February 25, 2018, provides financial assistance to farmers across all categories. Its primary objective is to prevent farmers from succumbing to debt and to improve their financial stability. By enabling them to procure essential inputs like fertilizers, seeds, machinery, and labour, the scheme aims to enhance effective agricultural practices. However, it falls short in addressing critical environmental and social challenges in agriculture, including soil degradation, water pollution, climate change and food security. This paper proposes a comprehensive set of recommendations to enhance the Rythu Bandhu Scheme (RBS), ensuring its long-term sustainability and inclusivity for Telangana’s agricultural sector. The following strategies are crucial for achieving these goals: To enhance soil health and reduce erosion, encourage practices like minimum tillage, crop rotation and cover cropping. Livestock rearing provides supplementary income, valuable manure and draught power, diversifying farmers’ livelihoods. Address environmental and health concerns related to chemical fertilizers by recommending organic or bio-fertilizers. Utilize crop residues as mulch, fodder, or biofuel instead of burning them to minimize air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. Establish vegetation strips along water bodies to safeguard water quality, preserve biodiversity, and prevent soil erosion. Financial incentives for sustainable practices ensure farmers’ profitability and food security. Implement district-level advisory bodies to educate farmers about sustainable methods. These recommendations align with the sustainable development goals (SDGs) agenda, benefiting both farmers and the environment.

Background: Turmeric (Curcuma longa L.) has long been used as a traditional medicine. The primary active component of turmeric is curcumin. It has potential anti-inflammatory effects and high antioxidant activity. Curcumin contained in turmeric has been reported as an effective treatment for Oral lichen planus (OLP). OLP is a chronic autoimmune, inflammatory disease of the oral mucosa associated with systemic disease. This disease involves the skin and mucous membranes (mucocutaneous) of stratified squamous epithelium. Purpose: This narrative review conducted on Google Scholar, PubMed, Research Gate, and ScienceDirect databases aims to study the effectiveness of curcumin contained in Turmeric (C. longa L.) in OLP treatment. Review(s): OLP is a condition of the oral mucosa that is a chronic autoimmune mucocutaneous disease. As many as 0.5% to 2.2% of cases of OLP occur in the adult population. Systemic and topical corticosteroid drugs are usually used to treat OLP. However, the use of these drugs has many side effects, so it needs searching for a new active substance to treat OLP. Curcumin is a hydrophobic polyphenol extracted from the rhizome of the herb Curcuma longa (turmeric), which has a low molecular weight. The repeated use of steroids can cause side effects that cause atrophy of the mucosa and candidiasis. One natural product that is superior to corticosteroids is curcumin. This is due to curcumin's anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and chemopreventive properties in several diseases. Conclusion: This review suggests that OLP treatment using curcumin in Turmeric (C. longa L.) is effective because curcumin exhibits antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and anticarcinogenic activities, as well as immunomodulatory properties.

Published: June 2024

Hodgkin’s lymphoma occurs mainly in people aged 15 to 45 years. The use of cytostatic drugs as pathogenetic therapy can cause complications from the musculoskeletal system, such as osteopenia and osteoporosis. To date, the issue of the use of densitometric examination in young patients remains relevant. The aim of the work. To study the features of densitometric assessment of bone tissue in young patients with Hodgkin’s lymphoma. Materials and methods. The study included 63 patients with an established diagnosis of Hodgkin’s lymphoma after pathogenetic therapy and 30 people who make up the control group. All patients underwent a study of bone mineral density by means of two-energy absorptiometry in three areas: the proximal femur, femoral neck and lumbar spine. The Z-criterion was also calculated for each patient. In order to identify the optimal areas of densitometric measurement, the method of one-factor regression analysis was applied. Results. According to the results of densitometry, a decrease in bone mineral density is more common in the study group compared with the control group. At the same time, in patients with Hodgkin’s lymphoma, mineral density decreases equally in the proximal femur and femoral neck. Nevertheless, the manifestations of osteoporosis are more pronounced in the femoral neck, whereas the phenomena of osteopenia prevail in the proximal region. However, a decrease in the Z-criterion in the lumbar spine is observed more often than in the neck and proximal femur. Conclusion. Early diagnosis opens up the possibility of early prevention of osteoporosis in young patients.
Diagnostic Significance Vasoendothelial Growth Factor Depending on the Severity and Duration of Atopic Dermatitis, as Well as Taking into Account the Presence of Markers of Herpes Virus Infection
Authors: Imanverdiyeva N. А. , Bashkina O. A. 
Published: June 2024

Currently, the problem of diagnosis and treatment of diseases associated with disorders of the angiogenesis process, as well as regenerative processes, is acute. Factors regulating the processes of angiogenesis in allergic diseases, including atopic dermatitis, play a key role in maintaining chronic inflammation and can have a significant impact on the course of the disease. Materials and methods: The study is analytical cross-sectional and presented by a comprehensive examination of 140 patients with AtD aged 2 to 12 years (median age 4.2 years), divided into 2 groups: 70 children with an established diagnosis of AtD; 70 children with atopic dermatitis infected with herpes simplex virus (AtD+HVI). The control group consisted of 70 somatically healthy children. A special laboratory examination included the determination of specific IgM and/or IgG class antibodies to herpes simplex virus type 1-2 antigens by enzyme immunoassay (ELISA); determination of the DNA of the studied herpesviruses in blood samples by polymerase chain reaction; determination of vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGF-A) in the blood plasma of patients by ELISA. The results of our own research: A statistically significant (p <0.001) increase in the level of vascular endothelial growth factor A in blood serum was found in children with AtD compared with the control group. Against the background of infection with the herpes simplex virus, an increase in the level of vascular endothelial growth factor A in blood serum was revealed compared with patients with atopic dermatitis (p < 0.001). There was also a statistically significant increase in serum VEGF-A levels in patients with AtD (p < 0.001) and AtD+HVI (p < 0.001) with an increase in the severity of AtD. This was confirmed by the results of a correlation analysis that revealed the relationship between the level of VEGF-A and the severity of clinical symptoms of the disease.The addition of herpesvirus infection to AtD worsens the clinical symptoms of this disease.
