Published: June 2024

BackgroundSurgical intervention for hallux valgus and hallux rigidus is an option for patients presenting with severe pain and deformity. Literature suggest that patients with high Pain Catastrophisation Scores (PCS) have poorer outcomes in spinal and to a lesser extent in arthroplasty surgery. There is however very little evidence pertaining to foot and ankle surgery.AimWe aimed to study whether catastrophisation as measured by PCS influenced the outcomes following surgery for Hallux valgus and rigidus.MethodologyEthical approval for this prospective portfolio study was obtained from NRES Committee South Central and Oxford. Approval was granted from the local R&D department prior to data collection. All patients listed for surgery for hallux pathology to the four senior authors were invited to participate. Recruitment into the study started in September 2017 and is ongoing. Pain catastrophising score (PCS), Manchester Oxford Foot Questionnaire (Mox-FQ), Visual analog scale (VAS) for pain and EQ-5D-3L questionnaires were completed Pre-op (baseline), and at 3, 6 and 12- months post-surgery.Results93 patients with minimum follow-up of 6 months were analysed using SPSS software. A P-value of less than 0.05 was considered significant. The mean age of the patients was 58.5 years and 83% were women. 70% of the patients had surgery for hallux valgus and rest for rigidus. Both PROMS and PCS improved significantly following surgical intervention. Patients with higher pre-operative PCS had a worse 6-month PROM score and more pain.ConclusionThis study confirms that pre-operative catastrophisation as demonstrated by a high PCS score has an adverse effect on outcomes following hallux surgery. Risk stratifying patients based on their Pre-op PCS scores may be a useful strategy to identify those at risk of poorer outcomes. We recommend that behavioural change interventions should be considered to try to improve outcomes in patients with pre-op PCS.

BackgroundOpen or arthroscopic ankle fusion (AAF) is a successful operative treatment for end-stage ankle arthritis. Evidence suggest that AAFs have better outcomes. In addition to the operative technique other patient-factors can influence outcomes. The most significant complication of ankle fusion is a non-union. To better understand the risk factors related to this we undertook a retrospective investigation of primary AAFs.MethodsWe reviewed all AAFs conducted at our institution over a 10-year period. Patients excluded if they had simultaneous fusion of neighbouring joints or were lost to follow-up. The primary outcome variable was radiographic union. Other operative complications were analysed as secondary outcomes. Two hundred and eighty-four eligible AAFs in 271 patients were performed over the study period.ResultsThe overall non-union rate was 7.7 %. Univariate logistic regression analysis found that smoking (6.2% non-union in non-smokers vs 24% in smokers) and prior triple fusion (5.5% non-union in the absence of prior triple fusion vs 70% in the presence of a prior triple fusion) were independent risk factors for non-union. Multivariate analysis showed that only prior triple fusion was predictive (OR 40.0 [9.4,170.3], p < 0.0001). Increasing age, obesity (BMI >30), surgical grade (trainee vs consultant), diabetes or the degree of weightbearing status post-operatively were not significant risk factors of non-union. The leading cause of reoperation was the removal of metal (18%). There were 5 superficial (1.8%) and 4 deep (1.4%) infections. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed a 75% ‘survivorship’ of the subtalar joint at 10 years following an arthroscopic ankle fusion.ConclusionThis is the largest case series of AAFs in the literature and the first to demonstrate that patients who had an AAF performed after a previous triple fusion have unacceptably high non-union rates and may benefit from other surgical options. This study data could also useful for patient consenting purposes.
Validation of an improved questionnaire assessing the social cognitive constructs of the Health Action Process Approach among parents regarding brushing their children’s teeth
Authors: van Nes Karin Alexandra , Loveren Cor van , Aartman Irene Helena Adriana 
Published: June 2024

Objective
The Health Action Process Approach (HAPA) describes social cognitive constructs related to behaviour change. A validated questionnaire is needed to measure these constructs in paediatric dentistry. The aim of this study was to improve an existing HAPA-based questionnaire for parents regarding brushing their children’s teeth and to assess its validity and reliability in a population of parents of high caries risk children.

Methods
Parents of high caries risk children of 3–10 years filled out the adjusted HAPA-based questionnaire. Mokken scale analysis, graded response model analyses, factor analyses and reliability analyses were performed according to the protocol of Dima. Discriminant validity was assessed by comparing the mean scores of the HAPA constructs between two groups of participants, based on different levels of caries experience, brushing frequency and education level of the mother.

Results
The Mokken scale analysis and factor analyses indicated a multidimensional eight factor scale. The graded response model did not fit our data. The subscale action control could be identified as a two-factor subscale. Reliability indices from the Dima protocol varied, for instance Cronbach alpha ranged from 0.73 to 0.96. The constructs coping self-efficacy, action planning and action control discriminated between brushing frequencies.

Conclusions
The adjusted HAPA-based questionnaire is an improved, valid and reliable instrument that could be used to evaluate HAPA-based interventions to improve children’s oral health.

Published: June 2024

Objective
To evaluate the diagnostic performance of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) using tapered-slit membrane filter (TSF)-based chipsets for the differential diagnosis of adnexal tumors.

Methods
A total of 230 women with indeterminate adnexal tumors were prospectively enrolled. The sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of the CTC-detecting chipsets were analyzed according to postoperative pathological results and compared with those of cancer antigen (CA)-125 and imaging tests.

Results
Eighty-one (40.3%) benign tumors, 31 (15.4%) borderline tumors, and 89 (44.3%) ovarian cancers were pathologically confirmed. The sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of CTC-detecting chipsets (75.3%, 58.0%, and 67.1%) for differentiating ovarian cancer from benign tumors were similar to CA-125 (78.7%, 53.1%, and 66.5%), but lower than CT/MRI (94.2%, 77.9%, and 86.5%). “CTC or CA125” showed increased sensitivity (91.0%) and “CTC and CA-125” revealed increased specificity (77.8%), comparable to CT/MRI. CTC detection rates in stage I/II and stage III/IV ovarian cancers were 69.6% and 81.4%, respectively. The sensitivity to detect high-grade serous (HGS) cancer from benign tumors (84.6%) was higher than that to detect non-HGS cancers (68.0%).

Conclusion
Although the diagnostic performance of the TSF platform to differentiate between ovarian cancer and benign tumors did not yield significant results, the combination of CTC and CA-125 showed promising potential in the diagnostic accuracy of ovarian cancer.

Entrepreneurship in the Age of Social Media

Published: June 2024

Abstract
Social media is ubiquitous and continuously evolving. This study investigates the impact of social media on the intention toward entrepreneurship/self-employment. Further, we explore the moderating effect of social media on the relationships between women, self-efficacy and leisure activities on intention toward entrepreneurship/self-employment using a survey-based dataset. We find that the ability to take advantage of social media within an entrepreneurial context does not necessarily mean that an individual is propelled towards entrepreneurship, however proactive individuals are able to exhibit this characteristic, as are creative women. A counter-intuitive finding is that entrepreneurship and conventional organizational employment choices are not mutually exclusive. While risk aversion inhibits entrepreneurship as expected, contextual conditions such as being married or being employed affects men and women differently.
Axion-electrodynamics and the Poynting theorem
Authors: Bruce Stanley A. 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
In a recent study, we proposed an axion-electrodynamics model that consistently incorporates a lepton Dirac field into the gauge-invariant Lagrangian of a closed physical system. Our investigation delved toward potential applications of the model, with a focus on its implications in the realm of Dark Matter axions interacting with leptons in a nonlinear electrodynamics background. In the present work, we introduce an extended axion-electrodynamics model wherein the Bianchi identities are modified by the axion field. This leads to a modification of the energy conservation law for the fields: the Poynting theorem in a source-free region, in which the axion field is involved. By implementing a quantization scheme, our model can offer a novel approach for addressing the problem of axion production/conversion in the presence of electromagnetic and Dirac fields.

The increase in aquaculture activities has made most people interested in working on it. Catfish is one of the cultivation commodities that are in great demand by the public. This study aims to analyze the growth of probiotic catfish (Clarias sp.) in soil ponds with the KJT system. The research was conducted from September to November 2022 at the pond of Mr. Fitra, a member of the Pokdakan Mina Berkah Mandiri, Balunijuk Village, Bangka Belitung. The research method includes calculating the growth of catfish and testing water quality which is accompanied by PP No. 22 years 2021. Fish growth shows a positive allometric pattern, meaning that weight growth is more dominant than length growth. This is thought to be a positive effect of the probiotic Probio_FmUBB on catfish growth and pond water quality. Water quality is sufficient to support the growth of catfish, especially the main parameters such as temperature, pH, and DO. Known water quality values such as temperature parameters 27-30oC, pH 6.05, and DO 5.03 mg/L affect catfish growth. Feeding full pellets is very supportive of positive allometric growth patterns and optimal catfish growth. Suggestions can be developed for catfish enlargement by Pokdakan with persistence while raising fish.

Purse seine is a type of fishing gear that has the principle of catching fish by circling a school of fish. Fish caught by purse seine include lemuru, skipjack, and tuna (pelagic fish), which have economic value. One area where the majority of fishermen use purse seines is PPS Kendari. The more fishermen use the purse seine, the more it will affect the income or feasibility of the fishing business. The feasibility status of the business can be identified by conducting a business analysis of the fishing activity. Business analysis begins with participating in a trip to one of the purse seine fishing activities at PPS Kendari in January-May 2020. Carry out business-related recording activities (business capital, maintenance, and income). After the data is obtained, a business analysis will be carried out on the profit value, profit sharing system, R/C ratio, and payback period (PP). Based on the business analysis that has been done, the total cost of fishing activities is Rp. 212,716,600.00, and the company made a profit of Rp. 1,074,353,400.00. profit-sharing system, with each share amounting to Rp. 20,270,818.87. So, it can be said that fishing using purse seines at PPS Kendari is still feasible, with a value of 6.05 and a PP of 0.61 years.
‘I didn’t know they could one-shot me!’

This article presents a corpus study spanning 11 years (2011–2022) of language referring to Gwyndolin, a boss in the videogame Dark Souls. Like many aspects of Dark Souls, Gwyndolin’s gender is open to interpretation, and this study tracks how both players’ readings of Gwyndolin’s gender and the pronouns they use to refer to Gwyndolin have changed over the past decade. The results show that, while players overwhelmingly read Gwyndolin as a cis man and use the pronoun ‘he’, there have been significant increases in trans and nonbinary interpretations, as well as the use of ‘they’ after 2015. The observed patterns can be linked to social changes inside and outside videogame culture occurring around 2014–2016. The study provides valuable real-time support for the existence of a change in the pronoun system (and its relation to trans/nonbinary identities), which had previously only been proposed on the basis of apparent-time data.
ЭФФЕКТИВНОСТЬ ПРОВЕДЕНИЯ МОНИТОРИНГА КАК ИНСТРУМЕНТА ВЫЯВЛЕНИЯ СТЕПЕНИ ДЕГРАДАЦИИ ЦЕННЫХ ЗЕМЕЛЬ

Published: June 2024

Целью исследования является анализ вопросов проведения мониторинга ценных земель для своевременного выявления процессов деградации, происходящих под воздействием антропогенных и природных факторов.
Методологическую базу исследования представляют базисные положения в области проведения работ по мониторингу земель и повышению их эффективности как важного инструмента выявления всех видов деградации, которым подвержены земли сельскохозяйственного назначения, под воздействием целого ряда антропогенных и природных факторов. Методологические положения в области обследования качества земель позволят более дифференцированно подойти к подбору сельскохозяйственных культур, проведению почвозащитных мероприятий в разных районах Ростовской области. К используемым научным методам относятся причинно-следственный, сравнительный и системный анализ, метод логических взаимосвязей.
Результаты исследования. В результате всестороннего анализа особенностей проведения работ по мониторингу земель было выявлено, что для рациональной организации территории и производства любого сельскохозяйственного предприятия необходимо максимально учесть все свойства земельных участков, в том числе их качество и степень деградации. Для изучения реально сложившейся ситуации важно своевременно проводить обследовательские работы, позволяющие оценить степень почворазрушающих процессов и ареалы их распространения. Исследование показало, что в Ростовской области водной эрозией охвачены в основном северные районы, а ветровой — южные и восточные районы. На территории данных районов процессы эрозии распространяются из-за высокой освоенности земель сельскохозяйственного назначения, т. е. интенсивного земледелия, плохого состояния полезащитных и водорегулирующих лесных полос, высокой антропогенной нагрузки. Также практически повсеместно имеют место процессы дегумификации почв. Для устранения негативных последствий деградации земель в Ростовской области предусматривается оказание государственной поддержки из областного бюджета, что будет способствовать улучшению ситуации в вопросах восстановления ценных территорий.
Перспективы исследования заключаются в важности проведения мониторинга земель и обследования территорий, в наибольшей мере подвергшихся почворазрушающим процессам. Своевременное выявление степени и наиболее преобладающих видов деградации ценных земель позволит принять меры по их устранению в районах Ростовской области и как следствие — увеличить урожайности культур, повысить уровень и эффективность сельскохозяйственного производства хозяйствующих субъектов.

Цель исследования заключается в установлении взаимосвязи традиционных и инновационных технологий в системе современного высшего образования.
Методологическую базу исследования составляют компетентностный, а также компаративный подходы, позволяющие проанализировать соотношение и взаимосвязь традиций и инноваций в компетентностно-ориентированном образовании.
Результаты исследования. Проведен компаративный анализ традиционной и компетентностной парадигмы в системе образования. Составлена авторская таблица, в которой представлено соотношение традиций и инноваций в компетентностно-ориентированном образовании, отражающая основные методы, технологии, ключевые компетентности, позиции субъектов образовательного пространства, компетенции и результаты обучения. Анализ взаимосвязи традиций и инноваций позволил выделить ряд принципов в компетентностно-ориентированной парадигме образования. Данные принципы являются звеном, связующим теорию (знаниевую составляющую) с практикой (практико-ориентированную составляющую). Кроме того, описаны профессиональные компетенции (hard skills) и универсальные (soft skills), представлено содержание модели цифрового вуза. Авторы приходят к выводу о том, что необходимо учитывать органичное сочетание традиций и инноваций, требуется синтезировать две образовательные парадигмы: знаниевую и компетентностную.
Перспективы исследования заключаются в дальнейшем рассмотрении компетентностной модели научно-преподавательского состава высшей школы в условиях контаминации традиционных и инновационных технологий.
Investigating and Measuring Radon Gas Concentration in Tehran and Alborz Metro Stations
Authors: Yavarian Fakhraldin , Soltani Jamshid , Khorshidi Abdollah 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
Humans are regularly exposed to various types of radioactive radiation and, of course, to Radon-222 over the course of their lives. According to the report of the United Nations scientific committee on the effects of atomic radiation in 2000, the average human is estimated to be exposed to about 4.2 mSv of radioactive radiation each year, 52% of which is caused by inhalation of radon gas. The radon gas is one of the most important elements that is emitted from the decay of natural uranium and radium in the earth. Therefore, the concentration of this gas can be higher in enclosed spaces, especially underground locations, and it is important to measure the amount of radon gas radiation in these underground stations. In this research, a domestically manufactured environmental meter for radon gas was used to measure the concentration of this gas in different Tehran metro stations. In general, all 42 subway stations of Tehran and Karaj cities were measured at continuous time intervals during the spring season. On average, trace amounts of radon gas were observed in all the stations, but high concentrations of radon gas were measured at some stations, such as Tajrish and Ghaem stations in the northern Tehran-Karaj plain due to underground water resources, fault type and distinct geological structures. According to the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) standard, the maximum permissible amount of radon gas concentration in the air is 148 Bq/m3, while the average amount was 156 Bq/m3 at Tajrish station. This amount is above the permissible limit and can therefore be considered hazardous to health. Geologically, the Meydan-e-Azadi (Azadi square) station on line 4 located in the center of Tehran also revealed a near high radon concentration due to bedrock that it mainly has been consisted of calcite. Consequently, measures for better ventilation and easier air movement are required in such stations.
