Comparative evaluation of efficacy of a smartphone application for oral submucous fibrosis (OSMF) self-examination in follow-up of the patients compared to routine Outpatient Department-based follow-up: a clinical interventional study
Authors: Dadgal Komal Vilas , Mohod Swapnil C. , Lohe Vidya , Patel Shraddha 
Published: March 2024

Background: Sushruta (600 B.C.) described a condition called "Vidari" linked with progressive narrowing of mouth, depigmentation of the oral mucosa, and pain on taking food, oral submucous fibrosis (OSMF). In 1952, Schwartz called this illness, which affected five Indian women existing in Kenya, "atrophica idiopathica mucosae oris." Pindborg and Sirsat coined the term "oral submucous fibrosis" in 1966, which is still in use today. With an overall Indian prevalence rate of between 0.2–0.5%, OSMF is primarily found in India and Southeast Asia, according to global estimations. Patients with OSMF need regular follow-ups and to maintain this follow-up it is not always possible for the patient to visit a dental clinic. Hence developing a smartphone-based application for the follow-up of OSMF will be of great value to the patients. The study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a smartphone application on OSMF self-examination in the follow-up of patients. Methods: There will be three phases of the research. The first phase will be the development of a smartphone-based application for the follow-up of patients with OSMF. The second phase will be distribution and training the patients regarding the usage of the application and the third phase will be evaluating the effectiveness of the smartphone application in maintaining the follow-up of the patients. Expected results: The follow-up of patients with OSMF is expected to be better and feasible using a smartphone application as compared to regular Outpatient Department-based follow-up. Conclusions: Designing a mobile application for the ease of users presents difficulties since it must take accessibility into account, which influences how well the application is received by users. The goal of OSMF examination awareness facilitation and intervention is to raise public knowledge. Educational activities significantly contribute to the advancement of information, convictions, and OSMF screening practice. CTRI registration: CTRI/2023/06/054514 (registration pending)
THE INFLUENCE OF THE INTENSITY OF GROWTH OF JERSEY BREED HEIFERS DURING ONTOGENESIS ON THEIR MILK PRODUCTIVITY
Authors: Oleinik Sergey A. , Lesnyak Artem V. 
Published: March 2024

Obtaining highly productive animals is possible thanks to the introduction of modern systems for the targeted cultivation of repair young animals. Jersey breed animals are particularly popular among cattle breeders due to their unpretentiousness to the feeding and maintenance system, as well as increased protein and fat content parameters compared to other breeds. The manifestation of individual differences in productive qualities in the cultivation of repair heifers during ontogenesis allows an early determination of the direction of their production use.
The study of the relationship between the intensity of growth of young animals with the results of the evaluation of the milk productivity of the first heifers following the results of the first completed lactation showed the presence of a positive relationship (r = 0,96) between these two parameters. Thus, the highest milk productivity is observed in cows, which in the period from 0 to 6 months had an average daily increase in live weight at the level of 811–961 g, which is generally consistent with the research of Russian and foreign authors and opens up new prospects for improving the productive and economically useful characteristics of the Jersey cattle population in the North Caucasus.
A Statistical Model for Multisource Remote-Sensing Data Streams of Wildfire Aerosol Optical Depth

Published: March 2024

Increasingly frequent wildfires have significant impact on solar energy production as the atmospheric aerosols generated by wildfires diminish the incoming solar radiation. Atmospheric aerosols can be measured by aerosol optical depth (AOD), and multiple spatiotemporal AOD data streams are available from geostationary satellites. Although these multisource remote-sensing data streams are measurements of the same underlying AOD process, they often present heterogeneous characteristics, such as different measurement biases and errors, data missing rates, etc. It is usually not known which data source provides more accurate measurements, and simply averaging multiple data streams is not always the best practice. Hence, this paper proposes a statistical model that is capable of inferring the underlying true AOD process by simultaneously integrating heterogeneous multisource remote-sensing data streams and the advection-diffusion equation that governs the dynamics of the AOD process. A bias correction process is included in the model to account for the bias of the physics model and the truncation error of the Fourier series. The proposed approach is applied to California wildfires AOD data obtained from the GOES East (GOES-16) and GOES West (GOES-17) satellites operated by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Comprehensive numerical examples are provided to demonstrate the predictive capabilities and model the interpretability of the proposed approach.

Published: March 2024

BackgroundThe development of short popular science video platforms helps people obtain health information, but no research has evaluated the information characteristics and quality of short videos related to cervical cancer. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the quality and reliability of short cervical cancer-related videos on TikTok and Kwai.MethodsThe Chinese keyword "cervical cancer" was used to search for related videos on TikTok and Kwai, and a total of 163 videos were ultimately included. The overall quality of these videos was evaluated by the Global Quality Score (GQS) and the modified DISCERN tool.ResultsA total of 163 videos were included in this study, TikTok and Kwai contributed 82 and 81 videos, respectively. Overall, these videos received much attention; the median number of likes received was 1360 (403–6867), the median number of comments was 147 (40–601), and the median number of collections was 282 (71–1296). In terms of video content, the etiology of cervical cancer was the most frequently discussed topic. Short videos posted on TikTok received more attention than did those posted on Kwai, and the GQS and DISCERN score of videos posted on TikTok were significantly better than those of videos posted on Kwai. In addition, the videos posted by specialists were of the highest quality, with a GQS and DISCERN score of 3 (2–3) and 2 (2–3), respectively. Correlation analysis showed that GQS was significantly correlated with the modified DISCERN scores (p<0.001).ConclusionIn conclusion, the quality and reliability of cervical cancer-related health information provided by short videos were unsatisfactory, and the quality of the videos posted on TikTok was better than that of videos posted on Kwai. Compared with those posted by individual users, short videos posted by specialists provided higher-quality health information.
Seismic performance evaluation of concrete buttress dram (Dynamic linear analysis)
Authors: Al-Bayati Noor Nazar , Arslan Chelang A. , Hassan Waqed H. 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
Due to a variety of reasons, including the water retained inside and the intrinsic weight of the dam itself, dam constructions have the ability to move both horizontally and vertically. If these displacements exceed a crucial limit, a dam’s structural integrity is jeopardized. Concrete buttress dams in particular may be susceptible to high-frequency vibrations because of their slender structure, especially when the flow of water is involved. The Khassa Chi Dam, which is located northeast of Kirkuk City, is the subject of this study’s attempt to offer an alternative since the constructed dam is an embankment dam. In this research, a concrete buttress dam design was studied as an alternative dam to the constructed one. Such designs exemplify one form of gravity dams widely implemented on diverse soil types. Finite element model (FEM) was employed to simulate the behavior of the dam. The simulation utilized DIANA FEA, which relies on governing equations. There are several steps involved in developing an accurate FEM that faithfully simulates the actual behavior of a dam and predicts its future responses. The model is evaluated in later analyses in terms of stress and displacement. In this context, RSA was conducted on the modeled buttress dam. The outcome of the displacement analysis of the buttress dam exhibited its safety across all load combinations after undergoing linear dynamic analysis. This analysis included Eigenvalue Analysis and RSA. The response remained low at seismic frequencies below 3 Hz, and the extent of displacement correlated with the frequency values.
VOT in English by bilinguals with 2L1s: different approaches to voiceless and voiced stops
Authors: Liu Sha , Takeda Kaye 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
This paper compares bilinguals of 2L1s with monolinguals and second language speakers. The experiment and statistical analysis reveals that the question whether bilinguals adopt a more extreme, intermediate, or monolingual-like approach may not have a clear-cut yes or no answer. Our finding demonstrates that bilinguals are more monolingual-like when they have greater control over their speech production. Additionally, bilinguals employ an extreme approach to positive VOTs, where they must distinguish among all the six stops in Japanese and English, though they adopt an intermediate approach to negative VOTs, where they just need to distinguish among the three voiced stops.

Abstract
A challenge in optical phased arrays (OPAs) is to achieve single-lobe emission using densely spaced emitters without incurring inter-waveguide optical crosstalk. Here, we propose to heuristically optimize the amplitude and phase of each grating antenna in an OPA to correct for optical non-idealities, including fabrication variations and inter-waveguide crosstalk. This method was applied to a silicon photonic integrated circuit with 1 mm-long gratings at 775 nm spacing for operation in a wavelength range of 1450–1650 nm. We achieved a wide two-dimensional beam-steering range of 110° × 28°, evaluated over a 127° × 47° field-of-view (FOV). Within this FOV, we measured an average sidelobe suppression of 8.2 dB and focused on average, 34.5 % of the emitted power into the main lobe. We achieved a peak sidelobe suppression of 14.5 dB and 50 % of the power concentrated in the main lobe. The approach is suitable for applications that require alias-free out-of-plane emission.

Published: March 2024

AbstractWhen using an areal measuring optical instrument to measure rough surfaces, especially surfaces generated by metal additive manufacturing (e.g. laser and electron beam powder bed fusion), topographical artifacts such as spikes on a reconstructed surface are nearly unavoidable. These artifacts may affect the determination of surface roughness parameters and lead to erroneous surface features. This paper proposes a new preprocessing method to eliminate most artifacts before extracting surface heights of rough surfaces measured by focus variation microscopy. In this method, the axial region where a surface height value is located with the highest probability is estimated, based on datasets of planes parallel to the axial scanning direction. Results regarding height measurements with and without the preprocessing method are compared by measuring a Rubert Microsurf 329 comparator test panel for reference and workpieces produced by metal additive manufacturing.

Published: March 2024

Abstract
The current study describes the chemical composition, antifungal, antibiofilm, antibacterial and molecular docking studies of Syzygium dyerianum growing in Malaysia. The essential oil was obtained through hydrodistillation and characterized using gas chromatography (GC-FID) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The antifungal and antibacterial activities were developed using the broth microdilution assay, whereas the effect on the microbial biofilms was determined using a semi-quantitative static biofilm assay. A total of 31 components were identified, which represent 99.5 % of the essential oil. The results revealed that the essential oil consisted mainly of β-pinene (15.6 %), α-terpineol (13.3 %), α-pinene (11.1 %), caryophyllene oxide (8.8 %), limonene (8.1 %), borneol (6.0 %) and viridiflorol (5.1 %). The results of the microdilution method showed that essential oil exhibited activity against Candida albicans and Streptococcus mutans with minimal inhibitory concentration values of 125 and 250 μg/mL, respectively. Furthermore, essential oil decreased the biofilm of C. albicans and S. mutans by 20.11 ± 0.27 % and 32.10 ± 4.81 % when treated with 250 μg/mL. The best docking energy was observed with viridiflorol (−29.7 kJ/mol). This study highlights that essential oil can potentially be a natural antifungal, antibacterial, and antibiofilm agent that could be applied in the pharmaceutical and food industries.

Abstract
This study aims to explore the relationship between dust accumulation on a glass and various environmental factors including temperature, humidity, atmospheric pressure, and wind speed. The data was analyzed using Python, a popular language for data science and artificial intelligence, and regression algorithms from the scikit-learn library. The data was divided into training (80 %) and test (20 %) sets and different models were used, such as linear regression, decision tree, K-neighbor regression, random forest regression, and decision tree regression. The accuracy of the models was determined using R
2 scores, where a score of 1.0 indicates a perfect fit and negative values suggest that the model is worse than predicting the mean value. The accuracy of the selected models was calculated as a percentage by multiplying the obtained R
2 scores by 100. Graphs were used to visualise the data and determine the appropriate analysis model. The study found that the amount of dust is directly proportional to temperature and humidity. The accuracy levels of the linear models were suboptimal, leading to the use of nonlinear models like random forest regressor, decision tree regressor, and gradient boosting regressor, which showed improved performance.

Published: March 2024

Indonesia merupakan negara beriklim tropis yang hangat dan lembap memberikan kondisi yang ideal bagi kehidupan berbagai jenis organisme perusak kayu, termasuk rayap. Aktivitas rayap sebagai hama terjadi terutama ketika suatu habitat alami mengalami perubahan yang cukup drastis yang menyebabkan spesies-spesies rayap tertentu menyesuaikan diri terhadap perubahan tersebut. Tanaman karet sangat disenangi oleh rayap karena pada kayu tanaman karet memiliki kandungan holoselulosa tinggi yaitu mencapai 75,06%. Serangan rayap sering menyebabkan masalah jangka panjang karena eksplorasi dapat terjadi dari waktu ke waktu. Rayap Nasutitermes matangensis dapat menyebabkan gejala serangan pada tanaman karet mencapai 80%. Beauvaria bassiana merupakan cendawan entomopatogen yang telah dilaporkan sebagai agensia hayati yang tersebar luas dan sangat efektif mengendalikan sejumlah spesies serangga hama termasuk rayap. Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk mendapatkan kerapatan konidia B. bassiana yang berpengaruh dalam mengendalikan hama rayap N. matangensis. Penelitian ini dilaksanakan di Laboratorium dengan menggunakan Rancangan Acak Lengkap (RAL) Non Faktorial yang terdiri dari 5 perlakuan dan 4 ulangan, sehingga diperoleh 20 unit percobaan. Kerapatan yang digunakan adalah 10², 10⁴, 10⁶, 10⁸ dan 10¹⁰ konidia/ml aquades. Spesies rayap yang digunakan pada setiap perlakuan terdiri atas 55 individu rayap/cawan petri (50 individu kasta pekerja dan 5 individu kasta prajurit). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa aplikasi cendawan B. bassiana sebagai bioinsektisida berpengaruh nyata terhadap mortalitas dan lama masa inkubasi pada rayap N. matangensis. Masa inkubasi paling cepat terdapat pada kerapatan 108 cfu dan 1010 cfu yaitu 1,75 hari dan paling lama terdapat pada kerapatan 102 yaitu 3,50 hari pada pengamatan 5 HSA.

Seed ViabilityAbstract. This study intends to investigate the influence of packaging types on the viability of rosella seeds, the impact of storage duration on rosella seed viability, and to explore how the interaction between packaging types and storage duration affects rosella seed viability. The research was conducted using a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with a 3x4 factorial arrangement and included 3 replications. The first factor involved the choice of packaging, which encompassed three options: Polyethylene Plastic, Plastic with Vacuum, and Aluminum Foil. The second factor was the duration of storage, with four time periods: 1 month, 2 months, 3 months, and 4 months. The findings of the study demonstrated that the type of packaging used had a highly significant influence on key parameters such as maximum growth potential, germination capacity, and vigor index. Likewise, the extended storage duration also had a significant impact on these parameters. Notably, the interaction between packaging type and storage time had a substantial effect on maximum growth potential, germination capacity, and vigor index. The most favorable treatment appeared to be the combination of aluminum foil packaging with a storage duration of 1 month.
