Published: March 2024

Cinnamon (Cinnamomim burmannii) found in the markets, comes in many forms with one of them being a type of jamu which the cinnamon dust is capsulized. The capsulized jamu is claimed to be beneficial on treating diabetes melitus. The effects of antidiabetics on some products of the capsulized jamu is suspected to work through the alpha-glucosidase enzyme inhibition activites contained in them. The aim of this research is to verify the activities of some capsulized cinnamon dust extract in jamu (C. burmannii) found in the markets on its effect to inhibit alpha-glucosidase activity and to know its IC50 value. Experiment is done by using analytic experiments using two different products (product A and product B) and by using acarbose 50mg as a positive control factor. Enzyme activity are then calculated using UV-Vis spectrophotometer on a 410 nm wavelength. The result of this research is alpha-glucosidase enzyme inhibition activity found in product A and B are 155,104 µg/mL and 6.795,893 µg/mL, wherease the acarbose as a positive control are 47,466 µg/mL. The conclusion of this research is alpha-glucosidase enzyme inhibition activity found on the products as IC50 shows that product A has a better alpha-glucosidase enzyme inhibition activity than product B. However, when compared to the acarbose as the positive control, product A has a lesser alpha glucosidase enzyme inhibition activity.

Intentando predecir el precio de la luz
Authors: Martín Barragán Pablo , Crespo Jiménez Ana Sofía 
Published: March 2024

El precio de la electricidad en España ha experimentado una importante subida a partir del año 2021, que ha generado un gran impacto en la economía de los hogares.
En respuesta a esta situación, el Gobierno español estableció el 1 de junio de 2021 un nuevo modelo de tarifa eléctrica denominado PVPC 2.0 TD. Este nuevo modelo de tarifa tiene como objetivo hacer frente al aumento de precios y reducir la volatilidad de estos, al establecer precios basados en los costes reales de producción y distribución de la electricidad.
La predicción del precio de la electricidad en el mercado mayorista es esencial para la toma de decisiones de los productores y consumidores de energía. Para llevar a cabo esta tarea, se utilizan diferentes técnicas de modelización estadística, todas basadas en la metodología ARIMA. Esta técnica considera la dependencia temporal de la serie de precios, es decir, que los precios de cada día dependen de los precios de los días anteriores.
Además de aplicar la metodología ARIMA a la propia serie, también se pueden incorporar regresores en el modelo para tener en cuenta otros factores que puedan influir en el precio de la electricidad, como la Demanda Eléctrica o el Mercado Spot, entre otros. Estos factores pueden tener un impacto significativo en el precio de la electricidad y su consideración puede mejorar la precisión de las predicciones.
Relationship between disability, gender, and discrimination: Analysis of the RISEWISE survey (H2020)
Authors: Contro Rodríguez Pedro , Alonso Revenga Juana María 
Published: March 2024

This work presents the analysis using multivariate statistical techniques of the pilot survey conducted in the RISEWISE project (Rise Women with Disabilities in Social Engagement), funded by the European Union under its Horizon 2020 program, in Italy and Spain in 2021. The main objective of the study is to understand the expectations and needs encountered in the daily lives of women with functional diversity, as well as the barriers they face, which are not exclusively physical or material. By applying multiple correspondence analysis and log-linear models, the relationship between access to employment, experienced discrimination, functional diversity of the respondents, difficulties in their daily lives, and the use of technological resources and social networks is examined.

The obtained results can contribute to future projects with larger sample sizes to investigate the phenomenon of double discrimination. Furthermore, given the limited number of studies related to this issue, this preliminary analysis is important for raising awareness and sensitizing people about the barriers faced by women with disabilities and promoting inclusive environments that enable their full participation in all areas of society.
<p>A critical appraisal of the governance indicators of the DTI methodology using IRT models: an application to destinations of Caceres and Badajoz.</p>
Authors: Diez Apolo Juan Carlos , Sánchez Rivero Marcelino , Rodríguez Rangel Mª Cristina 
Published: March 2024

STD model is a project promoted by the Spanish Secretary of State for Tourism and managed by the Sociedad Mercantil Estatal para la Gestión de la Innovación y las Tecnologías Turísticas (Segittur) whose objective is to convert Spanish tourist destinations into Smart Tourism Destinations (STD). To this end, the STD methodology has been implemented, which is based on five fundamental pillars: governance, innovation, technology, sustainability and accessibility.
This paper focuses on the first of these five pillars: governance. To measure governance, Segittur has developed a set of indicators included in the UNE 178502 standard of January 2022. Based on this proposal of indicators, the authors have developed a set of 15 tourism governance indicators, which have been measured in the 28 territories into which the whole of Extremadura can be divided (24 Local Action Groups and 4 cities). From the data obtained, the Item Response Theory was used to estimate the two-parameter model (2PL). The estimates of the parameters of this model have not only made it possible to characterise each indicator in terms of its difficulty and discrimination parameters, but also to establish a latent scale of tourism governance on which the 28 territories analysed have been positioned. The study leads to the conclusion that not all indicators are equally important in the measurement of tourism governance, and that tourist destinations interested in making effective progress in terms of tourism intelligence should focus their strategy on the fulfilment of certain governance objectives and leave the achievement of other less effective governance objectives in terms of improving tourism intelligence in the second term.
On the Efficiency of the newly Proposed Convex Olanrewaju-Olanrewaju Lo-oλγ(|θ|) Penalized Regression-Type Estimator via GLMs Technique.
Authors: Olanrewaju Rasaki Olawale , Olanrewaju Sodiq Adejare 
Published: March 2024

In this article, we proposed a novel convex penalized regression-type estimator, termed Olanrewaju-Olanrewaju penalized regression-type estimator, denoted by Lo-oλγ(|θ|) for ultra and high-dimensional data consideration whenever the number of covariates (p) is strictly greater than the sample size(n⁡). The newly proposed penalized estimator was formulated via the unique combination of arctangent and hyperbolic functions. It was noted that the newly proposed estimator could efficiently work under the constraint p<n formulated for, and as well as for the conventional regression methods of n>p. The proposed convex penalized regression-type estimator was formulated via three symmetric distributional noises of Gaussian, Laplace, and Normal Inverse Gaussian (NIG), considered being the three certified symmetric distributions that belong to the exponential family of distributions. The regularity axioms and oracle properties of the newly proposed penalized estimator were worked-out, as well as the parameter estimation for the penalized regression-type estimator for the three symmetric noises via canonical expressible form of Generalized Linear Models (GLMs) and first-order Karush-Kuhn-Tucker (KKT) condition. The Lo-oλγ(|θ|) regression-type estimator was subjected to simulation studies of well-generated symmetric observations. The US Longley macroeconomic dataset with the constraint p<n was fitted to Lo-oλγ(|θ|) regression-type estimator under the umbrella of three symmetric distributional noises. In conclusion, Gaussian noise for Lo-oλγ(|θ|) penalized regression-type estimator under the umbrella of p<n for the simulation and real life analyzes was considered effectively efficient because of its most reduced Mean Square Error (mse) measured error-type in comparison to Gaussian, Laplace, and NIG noises for LASSO and Atan penalties; and as well for Laplace, and NIG noises for Lo-oλγ(|θ|).

Authors: Yılancı Hilal , Canbaz Barış 
Published: March 2024

Objectives:
The aim of this study was to compare the quality and characteristics of information about clear aligners between YouTube and YouTube Short videos.

Material and Methods:
YouTube video was searched using the keyword “aligner.” After ranking the results according to relevance, 100 of the first 157 YouTube videos and 100 of the first 140 YouTube Shorts were evaluated. Videos were classified into five groups as dentist/specialist, hospital/clinic/university, commercial, layperson, and other. The video information and quality index (VIQI) and DISCERN index were used to evaluate the quality and usefulness of the videos. Data were analyzed using International Business Machines(Ibm) Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) statistics version 23. Level of significance was accepted as P < 0.05.

Results:
Only 9% of YouTube videos, content quality was found to be good. As DISCERN scores decreased, a significant decrease was present in the number of views, comments, likes and dislikes, total video length, VIQI, viewer interaction, and viewing rate. The United States of America (USA) was the leading country by producing 54% of YouTube videos. However, India was the predominant source of YouTube Shorts videos, with 83%. Invisalign was the most frequently mentioned brand of aligner in both YouTube and YouTube Shorts videos.

Conclusion:
Orthodontists should be aware that the data available on the internet is incorrect or insufficient and should guide their patients correctly with additional data. Likewise, they should guide them on how to access upto-date and accurate data.

Published: March 2024

Background:
Temporal bone squamous cell carcinoma (TBSCC) is a very rare condition. The prognosis is dismal for advanced tumors. Due to its rarity, information in the literature is scarce. Here, we report a unique case of TBSCC with cerebellar invasion and hydrocephalus.

Case Description:
A 46-year-old reported right-sided hearing loss and a painful right retroauricular mass for 4 months. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a 8.7 × 7.6 × 6.4 cm mass invading the right temporal and occipital bones. After a biopsy and 3 surgical procedures over 6 months, the diagnosis of TBSCC was obtained. Due to invasion of the cerebellar tissue and obstructive hydrocephalus, a ventriculoperitoneal shunt was performed. The patient was referred for adjuvant radiotherapy. However, palliative care was initiated due to tumor progression.

Conclusion:
We report a case of advanced TBSCC with poor prognosis despite surgical treatment and radiotherapy. More data are necessary to provide new and better treatment to these patients.

Published: March 2024

Background:
Following aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage, 40–50% of survivors experience cognitive dysfunction, which affects their quality of life. Anesthetic agents play a pivotal role in aneurysm surgeries. However, substantial evidence regarding their effects on neurocognitive function is lacking. This study evaluated the effects of propofol and desflurane on postoperative neurocognitive function and serum S-100B levels.

Methods:
One hundred patients were equally randomized to receive either propofol (Group P) or desflurane (Group D). Cognitive function was assessed using the Montreal Cognitive Assessment scale at three different time points: Preoperatively, at the time of discharge, and one month after surgery. Perioperative serum levels of S-100B were also measured.

Results:
The preoperative mean cognitive score in Group P was 21.64 + 4.46 and in Group D was 21.66 + 4.07 (P = 0.79). At discharge, a significant decrease in cognitive scores was observed compared to preoperative scores (Group P- 20.91 + 3.94, P = 0.03 and Group D-19.28 + 4.22, P = 0.00); however, scores were comparable between the two groups (P = 0.09). One month following surgery, mean cognitive scores were 22.63 + 3.57 in Group P and 20.74 + 3.89 in Group D, and the difference was significant (P = 0.04). Higher memory and orientation scores were observed in Group P than in Group D at one month (P < 0.05) in the subgroup analysis. Both groups had similar serum S-100B levels.

Conclusion:
The mean cognitive scores one month after surgery improved significantly with propofol compared with desflurane, but without clinical significance. Individual domain analysis demonstrated that orientation and memory scores were better preserved with propofol.

Regional dissemination of NDM-1 producing Enterobacter hormaechei ST1740, with a subset of strains co-producing VIM-4 or IMP-13, France, 2019 to 2022
Authors: Rezzoug Inès , Emeraud Cécile , Rodriguez Christophe , Pawlotsky Jean-Michel , Bonnin Rémy A. , Dortet Laurent 
Published: March 2024

Background
From 2019 to 2022, the French National Reference Centre for Antibiotic Resistance (NRC) received a total of 25 isolates of Enterobacter hormaechei subsp. hoffmannii sequence type (ST)1740. All produced metallo-β-lactamase(s) and were from the Lyon area.

Aim
To understand these strains’ spread and evolution, more extended microbiological and molecular analyses were conducted.

Methods
Patients’ demographics and specimen type related to isolates were retrieved. All strains underwent short-read whole genome sequencing, and for 15, long-read sequencing to understand carbapenemase-gene acquisition. Clonal relationships were inferred from core-genome single nt polymorphisms (SNPs). Plasmids and the close genetic environment of each carbapenemase-encoding gene were analysed.

Results
Patients (10 female/15 male) were on average 56.6 years old. Seven isolates were recovered from infections and 18 through screening. With ≤ 27 SNPs difference between each other’s genome sequences, the 25 strains represented a clone dissemination. All possessed a chromosome-encoded bla
NDM-1 gene inside a composite transposon flanked by two IS3000. While spreading, the clone independently acquired a bla
VIM-4-carrying plasmid of IncHI2 type (n = 12 isolates), or a bla
IMP-13-carrying plasmid of IncP-1 type (n = 1 isolate). Of the 12 isolates co-producing NDM-1 and VIM-4, seven harboured the colistin resistance gene mcr9.2; the remaining five likely lost this gene through excision.

Conclusion
This long-term outbreak was caused by a chromosome-encoded NDM-1-producing ST1740 E. hormaechei subsp. hoffmannii clone, which, during its dissemination, acquired plasmids encoding VIM-4 or IMP-13 metallo-β-lactamases. To our knowledge, IMP-13 has not prior been reported in Enterobacterales in France. Epidemiological and environmental investigations should be considered alongside microbiological and molecular ones.
