ABSTRACT

Lichen planus (LP) is a chronic, immune-mediated mucocutaneous disorder increasingly becoming common in the general population with female predominance. Clinically, there are different forms of lichen planus with the presence of the main characteristic feature of Wickham striae. Literature, to date, is abundant with various scoring systems of oral lichen planus, and among them, the most commonly followed scoring system was the one proposed by the Thongprasom system because of its simplicity and ease of application.

Aim:
The aim of the present study is to critically review all the disease scoring systems on oral lichen planus (OLP) that have been reported in the literature during the past decades. A systematic literature search was performed using PUBMED, MEDLINE, EMBASE, and COCHRANE Library with language restriction to English. The search was carried out incorporating the published literature from 1980 to 2020 using the MeSH (medical subject heading) terms. A literature search was done using keywords: Staging, Grading, Oral lichen planus, Diagnostic, and Therapeutic. Out of 25 publications, related to search strategy, 22 full articles, which were related to the disease scoring system for oral lichen planus, were acquired for further inspection. Out of the 22 articles, 15 articles met the inclusion criteria. The data was collected and a brief summary of the studies regarding the different disease scoring systems for oral lichen planus was explained. Taking into consideration, the parameters were not included in the previous disease scoring system. A new proposal encompassing a scoring system for oral lichen planus considering the missing parameters along with an amalgamation of histopathological criteria of dysplasia is presented. It also proposes to grade and stage the lesions and recommend appropriate therapy for each of such lesions.

BACKGROUND
The prevalence of metabolic-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) is a growing public health issue in people living with human immunodeficiency virus (PLWH). However, the pathophysiology of MAFLD is still unknown, and the role of genetic variables is only now becoming evident.
AIM
To evaluate the associations of gene-polymorphism-related MAFLD in PLWH.
METHODS
The study employed transient elastography with a controlled attenuation parameter ≥ 248 dB/m to identify MAFLD in patients from a Super Tertiary Hospital in central Thailand. Candidate single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were genotyped using TaqMan® MGB probe 5' nuclease assays for seven MAFLD-related genes. Statistical analyses included SNP frequency analysis, Fisher's Exact and Chi-square tests, odds ratio calculations, and multivariable logistic regression.
RESULTS
The G-allele carriers of PNPLA3 (rs738409) exhibited a two-fold rise in MAFLD, increasing by 2.5 times in MAFLD with human immunodeficiency virus infection. The clinical features and genetic patterns imply that LEP rs7799039 A-allele carriers had a nine times (P = 0.001) more significant chance of developing aberrant triglyceride among PLWH.
CONCLUSION
The current study shows an association between PNPLA3 rs738409 and LEP rs7799039 with MAFLD in PLWH.
The Open Access Movement and its March in Africa

Published: March 2024

The past two decades have witnessed growing call and actions for free and immediate access to published scholarship online without technological, monetary or legal barriers from around the world. The phenomenon described as open access (OA) has been strengthened by the possibilities of digital network technologies represented in the ubiquitous Internet. While the goal of the OA movement remains good, it appears the epistemic disbalance in global knowledge creation and access has not abated. However, the promise of OA, the motivation on which it stands, its consequence and current state are reviewed in this paper with particular focus on the contribution of Africa to the global OA movement. It has been reported that the emergence of OA on the continent is albeit slow but with a mixed fortune of both progress and challenges. Notwithstanding, open access is seen as a development imperative for Africa that offers tremendous opportunities to the continent to actively contribute to global knowledge. It was reported that a number of universities and research institutions in Africa have adopted open access policies that require their researchers to publish their work in open access journals or repositories. The paper presented a number of open access initiatives and platforms that are actively being deployed to achieve OA mandate in the continent and concluded with recommendations.
Acknowledgement Patterns in Information Science Students’ Dissertations in a Nigerian University: Are there Generational Differences?
Authors: Adekannbi Janet O. 
Published: March 2024

This study investigated generational differences in acknowledgement patterns of Information Science students’ dissertations at Nigerian’s premier university in the past 30 years. Acknowledgements have become commonplace in thesis and dissertations, however, with culture shifting and individuals reflecting this in their attitude, such cultural change may likely produce generational differences in acknowledgement behaviour of different disciplines. A total of 961 Information Science dissertation acknowledgements (DAs) from 1992 to 2021 at the Wilson Olabode Aiyepeku (WOA) library were examined and categorised into two generations – 1st-Gen (1992 – 2006) and 2nd-Gen (2007 – 2021). Data analysis involved descriptives and content analysis of the DAs. Results showed no significant differences in the number of individuals acknowledged by names but a decrease in the average length of DAs in the second generation. Generational differences were observed in the number of individuals acknowledged by categories and in the acknowledgement of library/librarians. Generally, 1st-Gen DAs had the tendency to acknowledge supervisors first, while 2nd-Gen DAs generally acknowledged God first. Expressions of gratitude in the 1stGen were more informal than among 2nd-Gen DAs. Also, 1st-Gen DAs acknowledged gratitude for technical, clerical and access types of support than 2nd-Gen DAs while the latter acknowledged moral, financial and spiritual supports than 1stGen DAs. The study showed a declining tendency by the students to acknowledge library/librarians. It also revealed that students in this discipline gave less recognition to data sources, as expression of gratitude for data access dropped significantly in the second generation.
Unlikely allies: ChatGPT and higher education assessment
Authors: Manolchev Constantine , Nolan Ryan , Hodgson Eleanor 
Published: March 2024

In the context of higher education, the emergence and spread of generative AI, including Large Language Models (LLMs), is revolutionising our relationship with knowledge. From spell-check and formatting tasks to rapid literature reviews, all forms of written assessments and even assessment feedback can be produced at the click of a button. We could understandably marvel at this new technology as an equaliser (at least, for those who have access to it). Second-language learners can write with native fluency. Non-traditional learners can overcome casual discrimination and academic elitism. Working class and mature learners can transition back into higher education. All this without recourse to pernicious ‘essay mills’. Yet, what of assessment? If Generative AI writes submissions for students and then marks them for lecturers, is the assessment dead? If so, what will become of learning developers - are their roles also dead, joining both assessment and the lecture in the academic afterlife? In this opinion piece we acknowledge those concerns but balance them with a message of hope. Generative AI and learning development may seem unlikely allies but there is still time to forge an alliance in the name of impactful learning and we conclude with three recommendations on how this might be achieved.

Rural Development Strategies through Livestock Policy
Authors: Habimana James 
Published: March 2024

Purpose: The main objective of the study was to investigate the rural development strategies through livestock policy.
Methodology: The study adopted a desktop research methodology. Desk research refers to secondary data or that which can be collected without fieldwork. Desk research is basically involved in collecting data from existing resources hence it is often considered a low cost technique as compared to field research, as the main cost is involved in executive’s time, telephone charges and directories. Thus, the study relied on already published studies, reports and statistics. This secondary data was easily accessed through the online journals and library.
Findings: The findings reveal that there exists a contextual and methodological gap relating to rural development strategies. The study underscored the significance of livestock farming as a crucial component of rural development strategies worldwide, emphasizing its multifaceted role in providing income, employment, food security, and cultural heritage, particularly in developing countries. It highlighted the need for context-specific and evidence-based livestock policies tailored to diverse socio-economic, environmental, and cultural realities, promoting sustainable resource management and addressing rural poverty and inequality. Additionally, it emphasized integrating holistic development objectives such as gender equity, social inclusion, and climate resilience into livestock policy frameworks to maximize social, economic, and environmental benefits. Lastly, the study stressed the importance of continuous monitoring, evaluation, and adaptive management in livestock policy implementation to foster learning-oriented processes and enhance resilience and responsiveness to evolving dynamics in rural areas. Overall, the study highlighted the pivotal role of livestock policy in shaping rural development trajectories and improving the well-being of rural communities.
Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: The Dependency theory, Institutional theory and Political Ecology theory may be used to anchor future studies on rural development strategies. The study yielded several recommendations to enhance the effectiveness of livestock policy interventions in promoting rural development. These recommendations included prioritizing inclusive livestock extension services, improving access to credit and financial services, integrating climate-smart livestock practices, supporting value-adding and market access initiatives, investing in livelihood diversification, and promoting participatory policy processes. By implementing these recommendations, policymakers and stakeholders aimed to enhance the resilience, sustainability, and inclusivity of rural development efforts, ultimately improving livelihoods and fostering sustainable rural transformation.

Authors: Vázquez Romero Castany Emilio 
Published: March 2024

La noche es un tren de Alejandro Sandoval Ávila es un poemario construido bajo la temática del viaje en tren, donde el niño vive la experiencia de la
poesía en su aproximación al lenguaje. Desde su experiencia en un taller de verano para niñas y niños, el autor muestra en su colección de poemas
la manera en que el niño habla y nombra las cosas a partir de las imágenes poéticas que crea mediante la práctica con la poesía. El presente
estudio analiza dicha aproximación de la poesía bajo la perspectiva teórica del “péndulo poético” de Paul Valéry, la cual postula que la relación
entre poesía y pensamiento abstracto produce un estado puro del lenguaje.

La gráfica del contrabando. Los dibujos de espionaje industrial francés como medio para la recuperación del patrimonio trashumante desaparecido
Authors: Gutiérrez-Pérez Nicolás 
Published: March 2024

En este artículo se analizan los dibujos realizados por los espías y enviados franceses que visitaron España a finales del siglo XVIII y comienzos del XIX para conocer y radiografiar las infraestructuras de lavado de lanas con el fin de importar sus métodos y replicar el arquetipo en territorio propio. Los sistemas de representación que utilizaron son una muestra de la influencia gráfica de la Encyclopédie de Diderot y D’ Alembert (1751-1772) en la sociedad del momento: los espías tomaron como referencia los tipos de dibujos propuestos en esta obra con el fin transmitir el funcionamiento de la máquina de acuerdo a los objetivos de cada prospección. Además, estas representaciones constituyen el único testimonio visual de este patrimonio industrial desaparecido, gracias a lo cual se propone la reconstrucción gráfica de uno de los complejos espiados a fin de recuperar este singular patrimonio y promover su puesta en valor y conservación.

Потенциальные возможности культуры реализуются на физиологическом уровне, включающий процесс фотосинтеза. В исследованиях были изучены особенности формирования и работы фотосинтетического аппарата люпина узколистного в условиях степной зоны Северного Казахстана в зависимости от агроприемов: сроки посева, нормы высева и применение регуляторов роста. Опыты проводились на базе Северо-Казахстанской сельскохозяйственной опытной станции в 2023 году. Объектом служил среднеспелый сорт узколистного люпина Орловский кормовой.
В статье представлены результаты изучения показателей фотосинтетической деятельности: ассимиляционная поверхность, накопление сухого вещества, фотосинтетического потенциала, чистая продуктивности фотосинтеза. Определение данных показателей позволило объективно оценить их зависимость от элементов агротехники, а также влияние фотосинтетической активности на продуктивность люпина. Исследования показали, что обработка регуляторами роста Мегамикс Семена до посева (1,5 л/т) и по вегетации Мегамикс Бор (1 л/т) обеспечивают максимальные показатели в фазу плодообразования - по ассимиляционной поверхности (48,5 см2), фотосинтетического потенциала (55,25 тыс.м2 х сутки/га), в фазу созревания - по сухой биомассе (3,91 г/растение), чистой продуктивности фотосинтеза (96,1 г/м2 в сутки). Посев 5 мая с нормой 1,0 млн.в.с. был оптимальным в условиях засушливого климата для формирования продуктивности – 9,7 ц/га. В данных опытах отмечается положительная корреляция урожайности с площадью листовой поверхности (r= 0,87-0,91) и накоплением сухого вещества (r= 0,79-0,96.)

Published: March 2024

Urban soil is one of the most polluted components of the environment. An increase in anthropogenic load on urban soils, as well as pollution by various wastes, the accumulation and compaction of particularly dangerous non-recyclable substances, covering the soil surface with a waterproof layer during construction provoke a violation of the structure and a change in the physical and chemical composition of the soil.
Soil serves as a natural filter that absorbs and neutralizes toxic substances released by anthropogenic influences. This activity occurs at different levels depending on the mechanical and granulometric characteristics of the soil. Therefore, when studying the state of pollution of urban soils, it is necessary to pay attention to the species composition of soils.
This article provides an assessment of the granulometric characteristics of soils in Astana. In the city of Astana, soil samples were analyzed from the microdistricts of Saryarka, Baikonur, Almaty, Yesil, Nura (60 points in total). The soils of the territory of the city of Astana are represented by the following types: dark chestnut soils and their varieties, meadow-chestnut soils and their varieties, solonchaks and urbanozems; according to the granulometric composition of the soil, they are represented by heavy, medium and light loams.

Published: March 2024

Background: Dermatomyositis (DM) is a chronic autoimmune disorder characterized by muscle and skin inflammation, a part of the idiopathic inflammatory myositis (IIM). Even though the disease is idiopathic, there are multifactorial factors related to dermatomyositis. This care report aimed to describe a DM case in a male patient to increase the knowledge and management of DM patients.
Case description: A 44-year-old Filipino male was referred to the emergency department (ED) of Siloam Hospital Mataram complaining of muscle pain and weakness with skin rashes 3 weeks before admission. Before the skin rash started, he had enlarged femoral lymph nodes in both thighs. The patient was afebrile with normal vital signs and was prescribed ibuprofen and amoxicillin. After that, he experienced skin rashes around his neck and the back of his ears with minimal pruritus. The symptoms worsened, making him unable to open his mouth and hard to breathe. In the ED, he also threw up dark-colored blood twice. Supporting examination showed elevated transaminase, increased LDH, and creatinine kinase. Biopsy results showed a histologic pattern of dermatomyositis. During hospitalization, he received a high-dose systemic steroid, antibiotic, and symptomatic treatment. He was discharged with a good outcome and planned to continue medical treatment in his country.
Conclusion: Dermatomyositis is an idiopathic autoimmune disease involving skin and internal organs. It is a multifactorial disease yet with unclear etiopathogenesis. Specific treatment guidelines for DM are not yet established, but initial systemic corticosteroid and additional steroid-sparring agents may exhibit good outcomes.
