Authors: AYDOĞAN Gökhan , EREN Alper 
Published: February 2024

Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the use of oral anticoagulation (OAC) in patients with cardioembolic stroke due to non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF). The NIHSS (National Institute of Healt Stroke Scale) score calculated by a neurologist at initial presentation and infarct volume measured semi-automatically in cm3 by Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI).
Materials and methods: A total of 101 NVAF patients with acute ischaemic stroke were included in this retrospective study. Patients were divided into 4 groups according to OAC drug use: Non-OAC users (group 1), subtherapeutic dose warfarin users (under 70 years of age: INR≤2.0; over 70 years of age: INR≤1.6 group 2), therapeutic dose warfarin users (under 70 years of age: INR≥2.0; over 70 years of age: INR≥1.6 group 3) and therapeutic dose Non-vitamin K oral anticoagulant (NOAC) users group 4.
Results: Infarct volume was calculated as 22.20 cm³ median (0.4-235 cm³ lowest-highest) for group 1; 12.95 cm³ (1.3-129 cm³) for group 2; 2.25 cm³ (0.3-89 cm³) for group 3 and 4.40 cm³ (0.2-293 cm³) for group 4 and the difference was statistically significant (p=0.039). The calculated NIHSS score was 9 (4-23) for the group 1, 8.5 (3-18) for the group 2, 6.5 (2-20) for the group 3, 5 (1-22) for the group 4 and the effect of anticoagulation use on NIHSS score was statistically significant (p=0.029).
Conclusion: Anticoagulant treatment holds importance in the primary and secondary prevention of stroke and in enhancing the NIHSS score and infarct volumes among stroke patients, as evidenced in the current study.

Abstract
What do fieldwork experience in Indonesia and working at a computing company have in common? Why does it make sense for an anthropologist to work at a computing company? What do anthropologists and data scientists have in common? In this article, I will attempt to answer these questions and show how they are all interrelated. Additionally, I will explore how anthropology can impact data science and how data science can affect anthropology in the context of multidisciplinary approaches, similarities, innovation, and languages, along with how the awareness of the complementarities of the two disciplines influences collaboration and development of knowledge.
Artificial Intelligence, Humanness, and Nonverbal Sociality
Authors: Banerji Ritwik

Abstract
Anthropologists have yet to fully consider how artificial intelligence (AI) and related technologies may be put to work to develop novel ethnographic media that transcend the basic limitations of the traditional ethnographic text. This article describes an experiment in the development of an AI system based on ethnographic fieldwork focusing on a specific form of nonverbal interaction and human practitioners’ evaluations of the system's ‘humanness’. Among many other elements of humanness, this discussion highlights the many ways that human subjects locate humanness in an agent's ability to parse and respond to others in the midst of nonverbal social interaction.
Relationship Quality and Hopelessness in Ovarian Cancer Patients: The Role of Emotion Dysregulation
Authors: Atlas Maya 
Published: February 2024

<p>In response to a cancer diagnosis, patients may experience hopelessness, a negative psychological state. Intimate partnerships influence psychological well-being among patients. As such, this study examined if intimate partnership quality was associated with hopelessness in ovarian cancer patients. Guided by the social influence hypothesis, emotion dysregulation was examined as a mediator of this association. Women with an ovarian cancer diagnosis in an intimate partnership (N = 184) were recruited from The Princess Margaret Hospital as part of a larger study. Data were analyzed using structural equation modelling. Two models were tested: 1) emotion dysregulation as a latent construct mediating the association between partnership quality and hopelessness, 2) individual facets of emotion dysregulation as mediators. No association was found between partnership quality and hopelessness. There was little support for emotion dysregulation as a mediator, either as a latent construct or separate facets. Resultant clinical implications and future research directions are discussed. </p>
ЕФЕКТИВНІСТЬ ТЕПЛОВОГО НАСОСА «ВОДА – ВОДА» ДЛЯ ТЕПЛОПОСТАЧАННЯ ПІДПРИЄМСТВ МАШИНОБУДУВАННЯ ПРИ ВИРОБНИЦТВІ КОНСТРУКЦІЙНИХ МАТЕРІАЛІВ

Published: February 2024

Вступ. У статті розглядається проблема застосування теплового насоса «вода – вода» (ТН «вода – вода»), який працює на альтернативних джерелах енергії, для теплопостачання та гарячого водопостачання будівель підприємств машинобудування у виробництві конструкційних матеріалів. Тепловий насос «вода – вода» у своїй роботі може використовуввати низькопотенційну теплоту води річок, озер, підземних вод. Метою роботи є термодинамічне обґрунтування та дослідження доцільності використання теплового насоса на підприємствах машинобудування під час виробництва конструкційних матеріалів. Результати. Виконано аналіз термодинамічних характеристик теплових насосів «вода – вода», що працюють з водним джерелом низькопотенційної теплоти. Визначено чинники, які впливають на енергетичну ефективність теплових насосів «вода – вода», оцінені особливості роботи водяних теплових насосів для підприємств машинобудування у виробництві конструкційних матеріалів. Для підвищення термодинамічної ефективності роботи системи теплопостачання підприємств машинобудування під час виробництва конструкційних матеріалів запропоновано схему вилучення низькопотенційної теплоти з використанням теплових насосів «вода – вода». На підставі проведених досліджень установлено, що перевагою води як теплоносія є те, що теплові насоси «вода – вода» можуть працювати практично повсюди. Натепер перспективним способом підвищення ефективності системи теплопостачання підприємств машинобудування у виробництві конструкційних матеріалів є використання теплового насоса «вода – вода» за річного циклу його роботи. Тому теплонасосна система «вода – вода» забезпечує високу теплопродуктивність протягом усього року та має вищий показник енергетичної ефективності порівняно із традиційними установками. Теплові насоси «вода – вода» мають значну перевагу перед іншими теплоенергетичними установками. Теплові насоси «вода – вода» споживають енергію відновлювальних джерел і знижують витрати на електропостачання. Висновки. Застосування теплових насосів «вода – вода» для утилізації низькопотенційної теплової енергії ґрунтових вод економічно вигідно, тому що вартість теплопостачання тепловим насосом становить 7 980 гривень на рік для житлового будинку площею 100 м2. Аналіз термодинамічної ефективності систем теплопостачання показує, що використання низькопотенційного джерела тепоти ґрунтових вод має переваги над джерелами теплоти ґрунту та повітря. У сучасних економічних умовах тенденція систем теплопостачання підприємств машинобудування під час виробництва конструкційних матеріалів може розвиватися в таких напрямах: застосування парокомпресійного теплового насоса «вода – вода», який має коефіцієнт трансформації теплоти 3,15 і ексергетичний ККД ТН 32%, використання вторинних енергоресурсів підприємств машинобудування у виробництві конструкційних матеріалів, а також можливе підвищення теплотехнічних характеристик машинобудівних будівель.

External Root Resorption of the Mandibular Second Molar Associated with Completely Impacted Third Molar: A Case Report and Review of the Literature
Authors: Daware Surendra , Hate Charulata 
Published: February 2024

External root resorption (ERR) of permanent teeth is believed to result from mechanical or inflammatory factors, such as the force pressure of orthodontic appliances, dental trauma, cysts or tumours, chronic apical periodontitis, and poor regeneration of the periodontium in reimplanted or transplanted teeth. Another factor frequently associated with ERR of second molars is an unerupted third molar close to the root of the second molar. This type of root resorption has been observed at the site of contact with the impacted tooth, indicating that the impacted tooth's pressure participates in the resorption process. Though this resorption mechanism is not yet apparent, some investigators deem it similar to the mechanism involved in the resorption of primary teeth. This case report aims to describe a second molar resorption case triggered by an impacted third molar and perform a literature review.

Use of Silver Diamine Fluoride and Glass Ionomer Cement (SMART-Silver Modified Atraumatic Restorative Treatment) In Pediatric Dentistry
Authors: Warkhankar Ankita 
Published: February 2024

Using silver diamine fluoride and glass ionomer cement (SMART-Silver Modified Atraumatic Restorative Treatment) in pediatric dentistry can provide a cost-effective, fast, and non-invasive approach to restoring cavities. Silver diamine fluoride is a liquid fluoride that prevents cavity-causing germs from spreading. This can be paired with glass ionomer cement to fill cavities and restore tooth structure. This therapy technique also takes less time than typical restorative treatments so that children may be treated sooner and with fewer disturbances to their daily life. Silver diamine fluoride and glass ionomer cement have become popular in pediatric dentistry for treating cavities due to their numerous benefits. This literature review comprehensively assesses the utilisation of Silver Diamine Fluoride (SDF) and Glass Ionomer Cement (GIC) in pediatric dentistry in the context of SMART-Silver Modified Atraumatic Restorative Treatment. It summarises the findings of existing literature regarding the dental procedures, treatment approaches, and materials used for the treatment, as well as the clinical outcomes, advantages, limitations, and potential applications. SMART-Silver Modified Atraumatic Restorative Treatment is an effective and minimally invasive technique that is particularly useful during the current COVID-19 pandemic, as it does not require any aerosol output while allowing dental caries to be managed without local anaesthesia in a timely, efficient, and cost-effective manner [1]. It also eliminates the need for extracting and replacing decayed teeth, thus restoring dental health and overall quality of life. In addition, the Silver-modified Atraumatic Restorative Technique is an ideal approach for managing preschool caries, as it can halt and control the progression of caries without adversely affecting any surrounding healthy tooth structures. This review establishes the utility of SMART-Silver Modified Atraumatic Restorative Treatment and underlines its effectiveness in pediatric dentistry, particularly today. Treatment and underlines its effectiveness in pediatric dentistry, particularly today.

Shoe choice may affect fencing lunge attack performance
Authors: Wang San-Tsai , Chang Che-Chia , Chao Te , Nicholls Andrew , Tsai Yung-Shen 
Published: February 2024

The purpose of this study was to investigate the differences in attack time and lower limb biomechanics when performing fencing lunge with fencing shoes (FS) and commonly used court shoes (CS). Additionally, the study aimed to evaluate whether fencing shoes with a heel cup (FSH) could reduce lower limb impact. Thirteen female collegiate fencers who had participated in national-level competitions were recruited for this study. Participants performed the lunge on a human-shaped target while wearing FS, FSH, or CS in a randomized order. Biomechanical data were collected using a 3D motion analysis system synchronized with a force plate. A signal light, and an accelerometer were attached to the target’s head to initiate lunge movement and detect hit moment for calculating attack time. Attack time was significantly shorter when wearing FS (0.92 ± 0.05 s) and FSH (0.93 ± 0.07 s) compared to CS (0.96 ± 0.06 s). The maximum angular velocity of ankle plantarflexion in rear foot push-off phase was significantly slower when wearing FS and FSH than when wearing CS. The maximum knee posterior shear force, maximum knee flexion moment, and maximum ankle medial shear force during the front foot step phase were significantly greater when wearing FS than when wearing CS. These forces were significantly reduced or nearly significantly reduced when wearing FSH, and there were no significant differences compared to wearing CS. The maximum ankle medial shear force during the push-off phase in rear foot was the greatest when wearing FS but decreased significantly when using FSH. However, this force was still greater than when wearing CS. Wearing FS resulted in a higher loading rate (LR) on the front foot. This LR was reduced when a heel cup was used but still remained higher than when wearing CS. There were no significant differences in the forward extension of body, maximum ground reaction force, or center of pressure displacement during front foot step and rear foot push-off phases among the three shoe conditions. Wearing FS can enhance lunge performance, and the use of a heel cup can effectively reduce lower limb impact.

IntroductionMental health recovery narratives are widely available to the public, and can benefit people affected by mental health problems. The NEON Intervention is a novel web-based digital health intervention providing access to the NEON Collection of recovery narratives. The NEON Intervention was found to be effective and cost-effective in the NEON-O Trial for people with nonpsychosis mental health problems (ISRCTN63197153), and has also been evaluated in the NEON Trial for people with psychosis experience (ISRCTN11152837). We aimed to document NEON Intervention experiences, through an integrated process evaluation.MethodsAnalysis of interviews with a purposive sample of intervention arm participants who had completed trial participation.ResultsWe interviewed 34 NEON Trial and 20 NEON-O Trial participants (mean age 40.4 years). Some users accessed narratives through the NEON Intervention almost daily, whilst others used it infrequently or not at all. Motivations for trial participation included: exploring the NEON Intervention as an alternative or addition to existing mental health provision; searching for answers about mental health experiences; developing their practice as a mental health professional (for a subset who were mental health professionals); claiming payment vouchers. High users (10 + narrative accesses) described three forms of appropriation: distracting from difficult mental health experiences; providing an emotional boost; sustaining a sense of having a social support network. Most participants valued the scale of the NEON Collection (n = 659 narratives), but some found it overwhelming. Many felt they could describe the characteristics of a desired narrative that would benefit their mental health. Finding a narrative meeting their desires enhanced engagement, but not finding one reduced engagement. Narratives in the NEON Collection were perceived as authentic if they acknowledged the difficult reality of mental health experiences, appeared to describe real world experiences, and described mental health experiences similar to those of the participant.DiscussionWe present recommendations for digital health interventions incorporating collections of digital narratives: (1) make the scale and diversity of the collection visible; (2) provide delivery mechanisms that afford appropriation; (3) enable contributors to produce authentic narratives; (4) enable learning by healthcare professionals; (5) consider use to address loneliness.

Published: February 2024

IntroductionThe ratio of Triglyceride (TG) to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) is a crucial indicator for diabetes diagnosis.MethodsThis study utilizes the Copula function to model and fit the non-linear correlation among fasting blood glucose (Glu), glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1C), and TG/HDL-C in patients with diabetes. The Copula function chosen for this study includes the two-dimensional Archimedes and Elliptical distribution family, as well as the multidimensional Vine Copula function, for fitting the data. The evaluation of the fitting effect is performed using the mean absolute error (MAE) and mean square error (MSE).ResultsThe results indicate that the Clayton Copula exhibits the highest effectiveness in fitting the pairwise relationship between Glu and TG/HDL-C, as well as HbA1C and TG/HDL-C, displaying the smallest fitting error. Additionally, the Vine Copula function produces a satisfactory fit for the relationship among all three indicators. Compared to linear analysis methods, the Copula function more accurately depicts the correlation among these three types of indicators.DiscussionMoreover, our findings indicate a stronger correlation in the lower tail between Glu and HbA1C, as well as TG/HDL-C, suggesting that the Copula function provides greater accuracy and applicability in depicting the relationship among these indicators. As a result, it can offer a more precise auxiliary diagnosis and serve as a valuable reference in clinical judgment.

BackgroundEvidence of vitamin D status and cardiometabolic health in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is still limited. This study aimed to investigate the association between vitamin D status and cardiometabolic risk factors among adults with T2DM in Shenzhen, China.MethodsThis cross-sectional study included 164 adults (aged ≥18 years) with T2DM who were hospitalized at Peking University Shenzhen Hospital from March 1, 2023, to May 31, 2023. Serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] concentration, the active marker of vitamin D, and three major cardiometabolic risk factors including blood pressure (BP), glucose metabolism-related indicators, and blood lipid profiles were collected. Vitamin D deficiency (VDD) was defined as 25(OH)D &lt; 20 ng/mL. Correlation, Regression, and Logistic analysis were applied to verify the association among serum 25(OH)D concentration, VDD, and 11 cardiometabolic risk factors.ResultsMedian 25(OH)D concentration was 21.78 [interquartile range (IQR)=17.51-28.05] ng/mL. The prevalence of VDD was 40.24%. Serum 25(OH)D concentration was significantly negatively correlated with diastolic BP (DBP) and glycated hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) rather than systolic BP, plasma glucose, plasma C-peptide, and blood lipid profiles among adults with T2DM in both correlation and linear regression analysis. Furthermore, the adjusted odd ratio for poor DBP control (≥90 mmHg) of T2DM patients with VDD was 3.164 (95% confidence interval=1.303, 7.683; P=0.011) compared to those without VDD.ConclusionIn China, VDD was highly prevalent among adults with T2DM and associated with greater cardiovascular risk factors, especially with increased chances of uncontrolled DBP. These findings suggest that vitamin D levels should be monitored in T2DM patients, especially those with high DBP.
