Published: May 2024

Quenching and enhancing behaviour of 1-(4-methoxyphenyl)-2-(4-methylnaphthalen-1-yl)-1H-phenanthro[9,10-d]imidazole (MMPI) with Cu –doped ZnO nanoparticle has been studied. MMPI has been characterized by 1H, 13C NMR and mass spectral analysis. Cu –doped ZnO nanoparticle have been synthesised by sol-gel method and characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) and Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectra (EDS). Quenching and enhancing behaviour were confirmed by the MMPI strongly binding on the surface of Cu –doped ZnO nanoparticle. Increasing concentration of nanoparticle into MMPI results in enhances absorbance and quenching fluorescence was observed. Fluorescence quenching was confirmed electron transfer from excited state of MMPI to nanoparticle. Theoretical calculations were performed by Gaussian -03 package. In order to understand the binding interaction with DNA docking study has been carried out.

Published: May 2024

Background
As an established treatment for major depressive disorder (MDD), cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is now implemented and assessed in internet-based formats that, when combined with smartphone apps, enable secure text messaging. As an adjunct to such internet-based CBT (ICBT) approaches, text messaging has been associated with increased adherence and therapeutic alliance.

Objective
This study analyzed data from the intervention arm of a randomized control trial evaluating 24-week ICBT for MDD (intervention arm) against standard-care psychiatry (waitlist control). The aim of this secondary analysis was to assess MDD symptom improvement in relation to the frequency and content of text messages sent by ICBT participants to Navigator-Coaches during randomized control trial participation. Higher text frequency in general and in 3 conceptual categories (appreciating alliance, alliance building disclosures, and agreement confirmation) was hypothesized to predict larger MDD symptom improvement.

Methods
Participants were young adults (18-30 years) from the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health. The frequencies of categorized texts from 20 ICBT completers were analyzed with respect to MDD symptom improvement using linear regression models. Texts were coded by 2 independent coders and categorized using content analysis. MDD symptoms were measured using the Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II).

Results
Participants sent an average of 136 text messages. Analyses indicated that BDI-II improvement was negatively associated with text messaging frequency in general (β=–0.029, 95% CI –0.11 to 0.048) and in each of the 3 categories: appreciating alliance (β=–0.096, 95% CI –0.80 to 0.61), alliance building disclosures (β=–0.098, 95% CI –0.28 to 0.084), and agreement confirmation (β=–0.076, 95% CI –0.40 to 0.25). Altogether, the effect of text messaging on BDI-II improvement was uniformly negative across statistical models. More text messaging appeared associated with less MDD symptom improvement.

Conclusions
The hypothesized positive associations between conceptually categorized text messages and MDD symptom improvement were not supported in this study. Instead, more text messaging appeared to indicate less treatment benefit. Future studies with larger samples are needed to discern the optimal use of text messaging in ICBT approaches using adjunctive modes of communication.

The radiographic appearance of the canine femoral nutrient foramen for dogs undergoing total hip replacement is consistent, with some variations
Authors: Scott Peter , Paran Emilie , Bradley Kate 
Published: May 2024

Abstract

OBJECTIVE
This study aimed to document the radiographic appearance of the femoral nutrient foramina and the variation of this in dogs undergoing total hip replacement (THR). Our hypothesis was that the radiographic appearance of the foramen would be consistent with the previously described anatomy, with some variations.

ANIMALS
89 client-owned dogs.

METHODS
Preoperative radiographs were retrospectively analyzed for dogs undergoing THR at a single referral center. The signalment of all dogs was recorded. Radiographs were retrospectively examined to describe the number, direction, appearance, and foraminal index of the femoral nutrient foramen.

RESULTS
Radiographs of 89 dogs and 102 femurs were examined. In 73 cases, a single foramen was seen; in 19 cases, no foramen was visible; and in 10 cases, 2 foramina were visible. The median foraminal index was 33.1% (range, 26% to 55.3%). On the mediolateral view, 72 were of proximocaudal-to-distocranial orientation, 19 were proximocranial to distocaudal, and 1 was atypical. On the craniocaudal or ventrodorsal views, the foramen was seen as a focal round radiolucency in 65 cases, was curved or atypical in 13 cases, and was not visible in 14.

CLINICAL RELEVANCE
Radiolucent lines across the cortices that do not fit these criteria should raise suspicion of a femoral fissure, particularly within the context of THR.
Exploring Asymmetric GARCH Models for Predicting Indian Base Metal Price Volatility
Authors: Kumar Arya , Sahoo Jyotirmayee , Sahoo Jyotsnarani , Nanda Subhashree , Debyani Devi 
Published: May 2024

Abstract

Research background
Many studies have been done in the field of predicting the Volatility of Commodities; however, very little or no analysis has been conducted on any sector, industry, or indices to identify which model is best to understand the asset’s characteristics, as there is a hypothesis that all financial time series can be interpreted by implementing the same model.

Purpose
The primary objective is to identify different tools developed by the researchers in estimating impulsive clustering and leverage effects. A comparison will be made among the available tools of the GARCH family models to suggest the best tool to forecast and calculate volatility with the least error.

Research methodology
The data used are historical time series data of Indian base metal indices, i.e., Aluminum (AL), Copper (CO), Lead (LE), Nickel (NI), and Zinc (ZI) from NSE for a period from 1st June 2012 to 31st August 2022 from the official website of NSE of India. The study compared and attempted to identify which GARCH family model is suitable to measure the volatility clustering and leverage effect in Indian base metal indices by reducing the chances of error.

Results
The study has revealed that the GRACH asymmetric models, while approximating and predicting the financial time series, can enhance the model’s output when it has a high frequency. Here, the asymmetric GARCH models (TARCH, CGARCH, EGARCH, and PARCH) better predict volatility than classic models.

Novelty
This study is original in its approach, as a previous study stated the presence of volatility or leverage effect by implementing any one tool. However, this study will compare available tools to suggest which is appropriate for which sector. This analysis will support future researchers and practitioners in evaluating volatility clustering and the effect of leverage by implementing the appropriate GARCH family model without believing in a hypothesis that a single model is good enough to predict volatility.
Impact of Trade Openness on Government Expenditure in South Africa: an ARDL Approach
Authors: Maluleke Glenda 
Published: May 2024

Abstract

Research background
Numerous studies have been conducted on the relationship between trade openness and government expenditure in several developing countries including African countries, however, the studies are limited in South Africa. Therefore, South Africa does not have adequate empirical studies regarding the impact of trade openness on government expenditure, which could assist in developing their trade policies.

Purpose
The study examines the relationship between trade openness and government expenditure in South Africa for the period 1980 to 2021.

Research methodology
The study uses the autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) bounds testing approach to cointegration for estimation of the three Models in the study.

Results
The estimation results of all of the three models found that in the short run trade openness has a positive and significant impact on government expenditure in South Africa. The results also suggest that the increase in government expenditure seems to be as a result of trade openness, urbanisation and dependency ratio in the short run while inflation also leads to an increase but only in the long run.

Novelty
The study uses three proxies of trade openness which are total trade, ratio of exports, and ratio of imports as a percentage of GDP. To the best of our knowledge, the study may be the first of its kind to empirically examine the impact of trade openness on government expenditure in South Africa using three proxies in a single study.

Authors: Maddi Abdelghani , Silva Jaime A. Teixeira da 
Published: May 2024

Abstract

Purpose
This study aims to evaluate the accuracy of authorship attributions in scientific publications, focusing on the fairness and precision of individual contributions within academic works.

Design/methodology/approach
The study analyzes 81,823 publications from the journal PLOS ONE, covering the period from January 2018 to June 2023. It examines the authorship attributions within these publications to try and determine the prevalence of inappropriate authorship. It also investigates the demographic and professional profiles of affected authors, exploring trends and potential factors contributing to inaccuracies in authorship.

Findings
Surprisingly, 9.14% of articles feature at least one author with inappropriate authorship, affecting over 14,000 individuals (2.56% of the sample). Inappropriate authorship is more concentrated in Asia, Africa, and specific European countries like Italy. Established researchers with significant publication records and those affiliated with companies or nonprofits show higher instances of potential monetary authorship.

Research limitations
Our findings are based on contributions as declared by the authors, which implies a degree of trust in their transparency. However, this reliance on self-reporting may introduce biases or inaccuracies into the dataset. Further research could employ additional verification methods to enhance the reliability of the findings.

Practical implications
These findings have significant implications for journal publishers, highlighting the necessity for robust control mechanisms to ensure the integrity of authorship attributions. Moreover, researchers must exercise discernment in determining when to acknowledge a contributor and when to include them in the author list. Addressing these issues is crucial for maintaining the credibility and fairness of academic publications.

Originality/value
This study contributes to an understanding of critical issues within academic authorship, shedding light on the prevalence and impact of inappropriate authorship attributions. By calling for a nuanced approach to ensure accurate credit is given where it is due, the study underscores the importance of upholding ethical standards in scholarly publishing.

Successful endonasal transsphenoidal surgery to treat acute internal carotid artery occlusion caused by pituitary apoplexy: Usefulness of arterial spin labeling imaging for emergency decision
Authors: Aoki Takuma , Furuno Yuichi , Fuji Keisuke , Kuwayama Kazuyuki , Matsumoto Keigo 
Published: May 2024

Background:
Pituitary apoplexy (PA) is a rare clinical condition presenting with acute headache, visual disturbance, and disorientation. PA can cause strokes due to acute internal cervical artery occlusion (ICO), which is an extremely rare condition. Arterial spin labeling (ASL) on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a popular technique, which is a quantitative perfusion imaging useful for the diagnosis of ischemia. We report a treatment with acute pseudo-ICO in which ASL on MRI was useful for the decision of surgery timing.

Case Description:
A 50-year-old male presented with a sudden headache and nausea. MRI and magnetic resonance angiography revealed a large pituitary tumor and left ICO. However, the left middle cerebral and anterior cerebral arteries were depicted due to a cross-flow through the anterior communicating artery. ASL on MRI showed decreased perfusion of the left hemisphere, suggesting acute ICO. As he had no neurological deficit, we treated him conservatively, following the guidelines. Two days after admission, he presented with sensory aphasia and incomplete right paralysis. Emergency head computed tomography revealed a low-density area in his left temporal lobe. We decided on emergency tumor decompression surgery to prevent ischemic progression. We performed endonasal transsphenoidal surgery. Postoperative MRI showed recanalization of the left internal carotid artery (ICA). His incomplete right paralysis improved immediately after surgery but remains mild sensory aphasia.

Conclusion:
ICO-related PA is a very rare occasion but there are few similar reports. Some cases of successful ICO treatment due to PA have been reported, but the question of whether emergency or elective surgery is better remains unanswered. Our case may have been no neurological deficit if we had decided to have surgery on admission. Hypoperfusion of the ICA area due to PA may be an adaptation of emergency surgery. Perfusion images like ASL could be a useful technique to decide on surgery or conservative treatment.
