Published: February 2024

Purpose: This study seeks to assess the relationship between in-store design cues (store layout, product placement, signage, and point of sales display) and impulse purchase behavior at supermarkets in Yaoundé, Cameroon. It also explores the moderating effects of age and gender on this relationship.
Methods: The study adopted a quantitative design with the help of a model with four exogenous variables, two moderating variables, and one endogenous variable adapted from the stimulus organism response (S-O-R) model of Zajonc (1980). The questionnaires were administered both physically and online to 429 shoppers from four selected supermarkets. The multiple correspondence analysis was used to construct indexes for store layout, product placement, signage, and point of sales display. The ordinary least square estimation technique was used to test the hypotheses of the study. The moderating effects of gender and age were done by interacting the two moderating variables with the components of in-store design cues.
Results: Results revealed that layout quality and point of sales display exerted significantly positive effects on shoppers' impulse purchasing behavior while signage and product placement had a positive but insignificant effect on customers' impulse purchasing behavior. The results also revealed a negative but insignificant moderating effect of gender while the moderating effect of age was positive and significant. An overall significant effect of design cues implies that the in-store design cues were found to be attractive and stimulating by the customers.
Implications: The study therefore concluded that an improvement in the store design features will act as a significant stimulus for customers' increased impulse purchases. This study has significant practical and theoretical implications in the area of consumer behavior in the context of developing countries, like Cameroon.
JWST Transmission Spectroscopy of HD 209458b: A Supersolar Metallicity, a Very Low C/O, and No Evidence of CH4, HCN, or C2H2

Abstract
We present the transmission spectrum of the original transiting hot Jupiter HD 209458b from 2.3 to 5.1 μm as observed with the NIRCam instrument on the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). Previous studies of HD 209458b’s atmosphere have given conflicting results on the abundance of H2O and the presence of carbon- and nitrogen-bearing species, which have significant ramifications on the inferences of the planet’s metallicity (M/H) and carbon-to-oxygen (C/O) ratio. We detect strong features of H2O and CO2 in the JWST transmission spectrum, which when interpreted using a retrieval that assumes thermochemical equilibrium and fractional gray cloud opacity yields

. The derived metallicity is consistent with the atmospheric metallicity–planet mass trend observed in solar gas giants. The low C/O ratio suggests that this planet has undergone significant contamination by evaporating planetesimals while migrating inward. We are also able to place upper limits on the abundances of CH4, C2H2, and HCN of log(

We find that HD 209458b has a weaker CO2 feature size than WASP-39b when comparing their scale-height-normalized transmission spectra. On the other hand, the size of HD 209458b’s H2O feature is stronger, thus reinforcing the low C/O inference.
A CASE STUDY: INTELLIGENT SHADING RETROFIT TO EXISTING HOME-OFFICE USING MULTI-OBJECTIVE OPTIMIZATION
Authors: Tajik Ramyar , Soltanmohammadlou Saeideh , Kianfar Amir , Masera Gabriele , Hoque Simi 
Published: February 2024

ABSTRACT
Improved energy performance and occupant comfort are driving building design decisions due to the increasing demand for sustainable and green buildings. However, despite the variety of technological developments in other fields, the range of solutions to improve building performance is limited. One of the main limitations for an early designer is a performance evaluation method to facilitate the design process. This paper offers a new shading performance optimization process that can help designers evaluate both daylighting and energy performance and generate optimized and flexible designs that can be further improved by implementing user-specific automation.
The proposed performance optimization method utilizes parametric design, building simulation models, and Genetic Algorithms. Common shading design systems are explored through parametric design, and daylighting and energy modeling simulations are performed to evaluate shading device performance. Genetic Algorithms are used to identify design options with optimal energy and daylighting performance. A case study is conducted to verify the effectiveness of the overall process. Results are used to analyze the influence of design decisions among different shading designs. Finally, future directions in both shading design and energy optimization are presented.
A STUDY ON THE EVALUATION METHODS OF INDOOR LIGHT ENVIRONMENT FOR OCCUPANT COMFORT AND WELL-BEING
Authors: Kim Ki Rim , Lee Kyung Sun , Lee Jaewook 
Published: February 2024

ABSTRACT
Since the COVID-19 pandemic, awareness of the importance of the indoor environment has increased. The indoor light environment is crucial because it impacts the energy consumption of buildings and affects human health and biorhythms as people spend most of their time indoors. Previous studies have concluded that the indoor light environment is essential to human health. However, it is not sufficient to analyze and evaluate the indoor light environment related to occupants’ health in the context of building design. Therefore, this study aims to review and propose an indoor light environment evaluation methodology for human well-being using quantitative and qualitative evaluations of light, health, and environment. This study presents guidelines for evaluating buildings’ indoor light environment for sustainability and well-being. Additionally, it provides an overall checklist of the indoor light environment evaluation process in Conceptualization, Light Environment Identification, Questionnaire, Environment Analysis, Comparison, and Conclusion. The evaluation checklist established through the results of this study could help establish a research methodology for the indoor light environment for human well-being and apply it to evaluate indoor light environments for residents’ comfort and well-being.
Expansive Duraplasty – Simple Technique with Promising Results in Complete Cervical Spinal Cord Injury
Authors: Garg Kanwaljeet , Agrawal Deepak , Hurlbert R John 
Published: February 2024

Background:
Complete cervical spinal cord injury is devastating with the currently available treatment modalities offering no hope for improvement. Intrathecal pressure is raised following spinal cord injury due to injured and edematous spinal cord. Due to constraints of the thecal sac, this sets up a vicious cascade leading to further spinal cord injury. Durotomy and expansile duraplasty could potentially prevent this secondary spinal cord injury. The aim of our study is to assess the advantage of durotomy and expansile duraplasty in addition to spinal bony decompression and fixation for traumatic cervical spine fracture.

Methods:
Two patients with posttraumatic complete cervical spinal cord injury (ASIA A) were managed with expansile duraplasty in addition to decompression and fixation. A thorough examination including perianal sensations and bulbocavernosus reflex was done to rule out the possibility of incomplete cord injury with spinal shock. Both the patients underwent posterior decompression and lax duraplasty. Standard protocols of spinal cord injury were followed like maintenance of MAP >85 mmHg.

Results:
Both the patients showed significant improvement in clinical status improving to ASIA D from ASIA A.

Conclusion:
Durotomy and duraplasty may be offered in all patients with complete spinal cord injury who are undergoing instrumentation.
Fingolimod in Multiple Sclerosis and Familial Mediterranean Fever Coexistence
Authors: Diker Sevda 
Published: February 2024

Background:
There is an intriguing relationship between familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) and multiple sclerosis (MS). While FMF is a hereditary autosomal recessive disease characterized by recurrent, acute, self-limited attacks of fever and polyserositis, MS is a chronic, inflammatory demyelinating disease of the central nervous system, characterized by autoreactive lymphocytes, microglial activation, and chronic neurodegeneration. In patients suffering from both FMF and MS, it would be interesting to test whether treatments for MS affect the course of FMF, or vice versa. However, this interaction has not been studied yet.

Case Presentation:
Herein is reported a case with FMF and relapsing-remitting MS in whom fingolimod, an immunomodulatory oral MS therapy, led to near-complete resolution of FMF symptoms.

Conclusion:
This report demonstrates an interesting clinical observation which may have promise for patients suffering both from MS and FMF. The drug's effect on the course of FMF needs further research.

Background:
The aim of the study was to investigate the morphometric parameters of dental pulp in open apices immature teeth in a sheep model after mechanical pulp exposure and restoration with reinforced zinc oxide-eugenol.

Materials and Methods:
In this experimental study, a total of 12 immature mandibular central incisors from six adult male sheep, weighing 30–40 kg and with the age of 1 year old with Merino race were examined. After anesthesia, the pulps of the teeth in the case group were mechanically exposed and then were restored with reinforced zinc oxide-eugenol and amalgam. In the control group, the teeth remained intact. The animals were sacrificed at intervals of 2, 4, 6, and 8 weeks (E2, E4, E6, and E8) in the case and 2 and 8 weeks (C2 and C8) in the control groups. Then, their teeth were removed with the surrounding supporting tissues and alveolar bones. Tissue processing and staining were done, and the sections were examined under a light microscope. The Kruskal–Wallis and Mann–Whitney U tests were used to analyze the data and compare the changes between the two groups. P < 0.05 was considered statistically significant.

Results:
In response to mechanical exposure, reparative or tertiary dentin was formed, and its thickness increased during the time of the study. The thickness of the odontoblastic layer in the E4 group was the highest amount. The pulp chamber diameter in the C2 group was significantly larger than the other groups, and the diameter of the apical foramen in the E8 was decreased significantly compared to the controls (P < 0.05).

Conclusion:
In response to mechanical exposure and restoration with reinforced zinc oxide-eugenol, some morphometric parameters of the dental pulp changed significantly in the sheep model compared to the controls.

Authors: Siavashpour Zahra , Houshyari Mohammad , Dadkhahfar Sahar , Jafari Anya 
Published: February 2024

ABSTRACTS
The use of radiation to treat keloid scars has gained popularity during the last few decades. However, few bibliometric analyses have been performed on the published articles. This research aimed to demonstrate and evaluate the trends, top-cited articles, and frontier areas. In this cross-sectional study, Web of Science (WOS) and Scopus database literature was searched for all MESH terms related to “keloid” and “radiotherapy.” The bibliometric analysis was carried out by VOSviewer 1.6.15. Articles with Web of Science-based citations of ≥20 were included. The citation per year index (CPYI) of articles was calculated for further inclusion of papers if they had CPYI higher than the mean value. There were 95 papers on keloid radiation that satisfied the inclusion criteria and were published between 1942 and 2019. The CPYI ranged from 0.38 to 11.3. Most studies were published in the “International Journal of Radiation Oncology, Biology, and Physics” (9 papers). The United States has the most papers (14), followed by Japan (9), the Netherlands (7), and Germany (5). To the best of our knowledge, this is the first bibliometric analysis of top-cited papers on keloid radiotherapy. From 2014 to the present, it seems that this title has resurfaced as a popular topic, with radiotherapy within 24 h of surgery being the most commonly recommended treatment plan. Since around 2011, high-dose-rate brachytherapy (HDR-BT) has been used as an effective treatment for keloid control. Individualization of therapy and dose/technique based on the location is strongly suggested.

Authors: Pal Anjali , Panigrahi Sunil Kumar , Majumdar Sagarika 
Published: February 2024

BACKGROUND:
The ongoing coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic induced the governments around the world to impose harsher preventive measures like stay at home order, lock down etc., to contain the spread of infection. This measure increased the stress of the general population through isolation of masses, loss of employment, and loss of recreation. There is a dearth of quality data showing anxiety levels among the population and association of novel nonpharmaceutical measures such as online meditation with it.

MATERIALS AND METHODS:
The study is a cross-sectional comparative study based on an online survey. The study population included 74 adult participants, out of which 30, included in the study group were attending structured online meditation sessions and 44 of the participants as a comparison group after matching age, gender, location of residence, and socioeconomic status. The data was collected using self-administered questionnaire. Multiple logistic regression was applied to ascertain factors contributing to the anxiety levels of the participants.

RESULTS:
Both the groups of participants were comparable in terms of their demographic characteristics. The mean generalized anxiety disorder (GAD 7) score among the participants of online meditation program was significantly lower as compared to those not attending any online meditation. 6.7% of the participants of online meditation had GAD 7 score more than 10 as compared to 13.6% among the comparison group (P value 0.7).

CONCLUSION:
“At home” mental health promotion measures such as structured online meditation can serve an important role in mitigating the mental health impact of COVID-19 pandemic on the community. Further researches are needed to assess the feasibility and effectiveness of such measures.

Authors: Sharma Maneesh , Sharma Divita , Sharma Ashok Kumar , Mohanty Aroop , Khapre Meenakshi , Kalyani C. Vasantha 
Published: February 2024

BACKGROUND:
To reduce the likelihood of transmission of infection to health-care workers (HCWs), personal protective equipment is used. However, wearing personal protective equipment (PPE) increases the risk of heat stress and loss of dexterity, leads to poor compliance to PPE. To address the issues of poor compliance to PPE, it was necessary to gain a deeper understanding about the factors that influence compliance. Thus this qualitative study was planned to explore barriers faced by HCWs while using PPE during a pandemic situation in a tertiary care hospital, Uttarakhand, India.

MATERIALS AND METHODS:
A exploratory qualitative study was undertaken among health care workers involved in the care of COVID patients. FGDs were done and an unstructured interview guide with open-ended questions was used which helped to explore the factors which can be potential barriers to the HCWs while working wearing PPE.

RESULTS:
Organizational and individual factors acting as barriers such as unavailability of essential personal protective equipment, a disharmonious work environment, lack of comfort, inadequate size, and quality of PPE were identified as the major barriers in the present study.

CONCLUSION:
Future efforts to optimize PPE use should focus on to adequate supplies both in quality and quantity can help in avoidance of such barriers. Resources should be prioritized with the needs of the HCWs in the times of pandemic. Regular training and feedbacks are necessary for the satisfaction of HCWs and improving PPE compliance.

Authors: Natarajan Ramya , Mohamed Ashik , Parameswarappa Deepika C. , Rani Padmaja Kumari , Bagga Deepak Kumar , Durai C. Vijay Reena 
Published: February 2024

Abstract

PURPOSE:
To evaluate the factors influencing the refractive outcomes following silicone oil tamponade (SOT) and silicone oil removal (SOR) in different lens statuses post-vitreoretinal surgery.

DESIGN:
Retrospective analysis of three different lens statuses.

MATERIALS AND METHODS:
This was a descriptive study that included 150 eyes of 147 patients who had undergone pars plana vitrectomy with SOT and SOR between January 2017 and June 2021. Demographic profile, spherical equivalent refraction (SER), and its association with clinical features were evaluated with SOT and post-SOR.

RESULTS:
The mean (±standard deviation [SD]) age was 47 ± 17.8 years, including all three groups. SER was represented in diopters (D). The mean ± SD refraction with SOT in phakic, pseudophakic, and aphakic was 4.28 ± 2.59 D, 2.94 ± 2.58 D, and 3.98 ± 4.82 D. The mean SER post-SOR in phakic, pseudophakic, and aphakic was −2.72 ± 2.03 D, −1.12 ± 1.41 D, and 8.22 ± 3.70 D. The diagnosis of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) among 96 eyes (64%) is the common indicator to perform vitreoretinal (VR) surgery. A minority of subjects were managed with retinal lasers before VR surgery (14%). The macula was attached in 100 eyes (67.6%), the belt buckle was done in 37 eyes (24.7%), and the silicone oil viscosity with 1000 centistoke was chosen in 129 eyes (86%).

CONCLUSION:
SOT was used as a tamponade in VR surgeries irrespective of lens status. The significant predictor for post-SOR refraction in phakic and aphakic is post-SOT refraction. In pseudophakic, gender and diagnosis of RRD are the predictors of SOR refraction.
