Authors: Abdoli Shadbad Mahdi , Derogar Roghaiyeh , Shekarchi Ali Akbar , Akbari Farideh , Jafari Shobeiri Mehri 
Published: January 2024

Abstract

Objectives
Cancerous transformation in mature cystic ovarian teratoma is rare. Herein, we reported a case of squamous cell carcinoma transformation in mature cystic ovarian teratoma and performed an in-depth literature review to highlight the risk factors, prognosis, and suggested treatment for these patients.

Case presentation
We report a 66-years old postmenopausal woman diagnosed with a 120×90 (mm) mass at the left adnexa compatible with mature cystic ovarian teratoma. Following resection, the histopathological investigations showed malignant transformation in her mature cystic ovarian teratoma, and the immunohistochemistry for cytokeratin (CK) 5/6 and tumor protein 63 (P63) indicated squamous cell carcinoma transformation. She has been observed for her stage IA tumor and has been cancer-free for 6 months.

Conclusions
Although malignant transformation in mature cystic ovarian teratoma is rare, it should be suspected if certain risk factors, e.g., elderly and high tumor size, exist. Stage IA patients’ prognosis is favorable, and chemotherapy is not recommended.

Authors: Goru Kalivaraprasanna Babu , Paramasivan Thiyagarajan , Rajiakodi Saranya 
Published: January 2024

Abstract
The paper presents a novel approach to securely store sensitive images within nuclear power stations. The suggested approach protects the secrecy, integrity, and availability of these crucial assets by integrating blockchain technology, Shamir’s secret sharing, erasure coding, and encryption. To improve data security and transaction validation, the design uses a decentralized network, smart contracts, and consensus processes. Erasure coding adds redundancy while sensitive photos are divided into hidden shares, encrypted, and disseminated strategically across hierarchical tiers. Resilience against data loss or compromise is ensured by this design. The research advances secure picture storage techniques in key infrastructures, fostering trust and dependability, by resolving security and privacy concerns through this novel technology.
Corrosion cracking resistance of hoisting ropes
Authors: Karasu Haşim Fırat , Demirsoy Mine 
Published: January 2024

Abstract
The corrosion occurring in hoisting ropes used in transport machinery, directly and indirectly, significantly damages the global economy every year. The aim of this study is to investigate the behavior of different types of steel wire hoisting ropes used in cranes, ships, and ports, regarding their resistance to corrosion through the method of stress corrosion cracking and to determine which types of steel ropes should be utilized in environments exposed to severe corrosion. First of all, hessian and steel core ropes were selected from 6 × 19 Standard, 8 × 19 Seale, and 6 × 36 Warrington Seale rope groups of the same diameter. Prestress corrosion tests of the ropes were carried out based on the ASTM G49 standard, with the prestress corrosion test device designed and manufactured in accordance with different rope types. The results obtained by performing appropriate treatment methods against corrosion, such as hot-dip galvanizing and painting with zinc epoxy primer, were compared with the test results of ungalvanized ropes. Thus, the degree improvement against corrosion was determined.

Authors: Ahmad Hijaz , Alnahdi Abeer S. , Bilal Muhammad , Daher Albalwi Muhammad , Faqihi Abdullah A. 
Published: January 2024

Abstract
Thermophoretic particle deposition (TPD) and thermal radiation have significant uses in engineering and research, such as projectiles, electrical fuel, and production of coating sheets, thermal transference, nuclear plants, renewable energy, aerospace engineering, and gas turbines. In light of the above applications, the present analysis examines the stagnation point flow of hybrid nanofluid (hnf) around a revolving sphere. The hnf is prepared with the addition of Cu and Al2O3 nanoparticles in the water. The flow is examined under the impact of chemical reaction, thermal radiation, TPD, and activation energy. The flow equations are reformed into a dimensionless set of ordinary differential equations and then solved through the numerical approach parametric continuation method. The graphical and numerical results are demonstrated through graphics and tables. It has been noted that the effects of acceleration and rotational parameters boost the hnf (Cu and Al2O3/water) velocity. Furthermore, the energy outline reduces with the effect of acceleration parameter and nanoparticle volume friction. The influence of the rotation factor and acceleration parameters boosts the rate of skin friction. The influence of thermal radiation enriches the energy transmission rate.

Authors: Kausar Ayesha , Ahmad Ishaq , Lam Tran Dai 
Published: January 2024

Abstract
Immense research efforts on graphene or graphene oxide have led to the formation of unique nanocarbon derived nanomaterials. Graphene and graphene oxide have been reinforced in polymeric matrices to form high performance nanocomposites. Significant applications of polymer nanocomposites with graphene or graphene oxide were experiential for nanofiber formation and ensuing membranes. This overview highlights design, essential features, and potential of graphene or graphene oxide derived nanocomposite nanofibrous membranes for water remediation permeation towards contaminates, salts, toxins, microbials, and other separation purposes. Here, polymer filled graphene or graphene oxide nanocomposites have been processed into nanofibers using appropriate techniques such as electrospinning, wet spinning, template method, etc. Afterwards, polymer/graphene and polymer/graphene oxide nanofiber nanocomposites were applied to form the nanocomposite membranes using appropriate techniques like solution processing, casting methods, infiltration, etc. Consequently, high performance membranes have been researched for technological purposes, especially water management competence. Future research on polymer/graphene nanofibrous membranes may lead to highly efficient systems for commercial and industrial level uses.

Published: January 2024

Abstract
This paper investigates the interactions and aggregation behavior of biosurfactants, sodium cholate (NaC) and sodium deoxycholate (NaDC) in aqueous solutions of Emtricitabine and Lamivudine (anti-HIV drugs). The study uses conductometry and UV–visible spectroscopy techniques to evaluate the critical micelle concentration (CMC) at different temperatures ranging from 298.15 K to 313.15 K with a variation of 5 K. The temperature dependence of the CMC was examined, and the stability of micelles was analyzed in light of the hydrophobic-hydrophilic interactions involved in this system. The CMC obtained from both the methods are in agreement. Various thermodynamic parameters, such as

The Virus Is Not the Only Disease: How Public Health Crises Aggravate Structural Inequities and Further Put Minoritized Groups at Risk
Authors: Bowman Anitra 
Published: January 2024

The objective of this paper was to examine the differential ways minoritized groups and dominant groups are affected by public health crises such as the COVID-19 pandemic. A variety of academic sources were consulted, such as various peer-reviewed journal articles and published books, to determine the impacts that public health crises have on individuals with minority identities. Additionally, given the current nature of this topic, select news sources were also used to inform the most recent policy updates on the issues discussed. Th paper largely focused on examples within the COVID-19 pandemic, but also drew from the Ebola Outbreak in West Africa and the HIV/AIDS epidemic. The paper investigated three major ways in which minoritized groups are disproportionately impacted by public health crises. First, government response measures frequently suit dominant groups much better than minoritized groups, partially because response measures are typically drafted by members of dominant groups and partially because it is much more difficult to comply with many emergency response measures in the absence of privilege. Furthermore, because minoritized groups are often already in positions of socioeconomic disadvantage compared to dominant groups, times of emergency often exacerbate the pre-existing social conditions that cause inequity. The third way the paper found minoritized groups to be disproportionately affected by public health crises was that tensions towards perceived “at fault” groups and tensions between racialized minorities and authorities become strained. Lastly, the paper found that while education may be a partial solution to these issues, it is not a full solution.
Something in the air
Authors: Irwin Gillian 
Published: January 2024

This paper considers the issue of environmental racism as it relates to Indigenous and Black communities in Canada. Although the climate crisis affects us all, certain communities have felt the effects of environmental degradation more acutely and for a longer period. Environmental policy or practice that disproportionately disadvantages a racial group is an example of environmental racism. The article examines different policy responses to environmental racism in a Canadian context. The paper looks at proposed avenues for addressing environmental racism through the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, Private Members Bills, Senate Bills or the new Federal Housing Advocate position associated with the Canadian Human Rights Commission. It also examines a number of grassroots initiatives taking action against environmental racism. The article argues that having the right to a healthy environment encoded in the Charter is the best option for policy reform and that grassroots organizations working in coalitions continue to make meaningful social change as the policy battle continues.

How it fits theme:
The political power of the Canadian government has important implications for all citizens, but that power is not exerted equally against all sectors of society. There is implicit power in policy and practice that has lived consequences for those living in communities that experience systemic inequalities in healthcare, employment, and environment. However, these systemic barriers do not render individuals powerless. Grassroots movements are the fundamental origin of all civil rights victories experienced thus far, and will continue to have an integral role in changing the balance of power for generations to come. The example of environmental racism in Canada is a good place to examine the role of state power in racialized communities. At the same time, the individuals fighting against environmental racism through policy and social movements simultaneously are an inspiring example of resistance in praxis.

The Semiotics of Gastronomy — Meals and Identity
Authors: Kapitány Ágnes , Kapitány Gábor 
Published: January 2024

AbstractGastronomy and meals have always played a key role in shaping cultural characteristics, and it is for this very reason that cultural anthropology pays particular attention to these topics. In this paper, we present several analytical dimensions that can be applied to the analysis of food culture, partly from a cultural anthropological perspective and partly from a socio-semiotic perspective. Firstly, we review those aspects of gastro-semiotics that help us to organize foods according to various dichotomies and polarities. We discuss, on the one hand, those aspects that may indicate differences between cultures and subcultures, and on the other those that relate to temporal differences in food consumption and those that are rooted in material differences among foods. We then list the dimensions that, in the form of general status symbols, may also play a role in the analysis of food. In the present paper we also discuss our longitudinal study The Symbols of Hungarianness (1997 and 2021/22), conducted on a nationwide representative sample of 1,000 people, in which we asked about foods and drinks that are characteristic in terms of national identity and that are thus also suitable for presenting certain typical features of Hungarian cuisine.

Published: January 2024

AbstractOne hundred and eighteen sputum specimens suspected of Mycobacterium abscessus infection were collected. Species level identification of M. abscessus was performed by rpoB sequencing. Clonality analysis was done by multilocus sequence typing (MLST) for M. abscessus. Antibiotic susceptibility testing was performed for clarithromycin, amikacin, ciprofloxacin and moxifloxacin. Altogether 128 isolates were obtained and were subjected to rpoB gene sequencing for definite identification. Among them 59 were identified as M. abscessus, and these included 22 (37.28%) isolates of M. abscessus subsp. abscessus, 22 (37.28%) isolates of M. abscessus subsp. massiliense, and 15 (25.42%) isolates of M. abscessus subsp. bolletii. All 59 M. abscessus complex isolates were analyzed by MLST in this study. Certain sequence types (STs) were identified among the 59 isolates and were specific for each subspecies. Two STs (ST40 and ST33) were specific to M. abscessus subsp. abscessus, one ST (ST20) was specific to M. abscessus subsp. bolletii, and one ST (ST15) was specific to M. abscessus subsp. massiliense. In antibiotic resistance, clarithromycin susceptibility testing of 22 M. abscessus subsp. abscessus strains detected 15 (68.18%) resistant strains, while among 22 M. abscessus subsp. massiliense strains 5 (22.72%) exhibited resistance, and among 15 M. abscessus subsp. bolletii 8 (53.33%) were resistant. Our study revealed a significant level of antibiotic resistance in isolates of the M. abscessus complex.
The effect of elevated carbon dioxide on the medicinal properties of Portulacaria afra
Authors: Basson Domonique C. , Van Vuuren Sandy , Risenga Ida M. 
Published: January 2024

There is a global concern that rising atmospheric CO2 concentrations may impact the medicinal or nutritional properties of medicinal plants. Portulacaria afra is a South African medicinal plant that is used by traditional healers to treat various skin conditions. The aim of this study was to determine whether elevated CO2 concentrations would affect the medicinal properties of the leaves of P. afra. This was achieved by comparing the phytochemical presence, antioxidant and antimicrobial activity of the leaves of P. afra which were exposed to ambient (420 ppm) and elevated (600 ppm) CO2 concentrations of plants grown in greenhouse conditions. The results revealed that leaf samples that were exposed to elevated CO2 concentrations exhibited a significant increase in flavonoid presence, compared to the control group. The antioxidant activity of the leaves of P. afra (DPPH activity) remained mostly unchanged in the samples that were exposed to elevated CO2 concentrations. The antimicrobial activity efficacy against Cutibacterium acnes increased with increasing global atmospheric CO2 concentration. These findings suggest that P. afra is a resilient medicinal plant and that its leaves may continue to provide relief against certain ailments, despite rising atmospheric CO2 concentrations.
Significance:

Portulacaria afra is a South African medicinally important species that shows great resilience against elevated CO2 concentrations.
It is important to anticipate how changing environmental factors, such as rising CO2 concentrations, may affect natural resources.
The phytochemical profile and antioxidant and antimicrobial activities of the various plant parts either remained the same or increased after exposure to an elevated CO2 concentration of 600 ppm.
Adivinanzas en el aula de ele: literatura oral, patrimonio e innovación educativa / Riddles in the SFL class: oral literature, heritage and educational innovation
Authors: Palmer Ítaca , Campos F.-Fígares Mar 
Published: January 2024

The purpose of this paper is to address the Teaching of Spanish as a
Foreign Language (TSFL) through the use of short traditional or popular
texts. These are closer in character to spoken language, thus providing
an opportunity to implement a competence-based approach to learning -namely through communicative competence, which is at the centre of
standard syllabi today. These popular texts are presented here as a tool
for teaching cultural heritage as well as being an optimal base for
creative writing workshops. All of which is carried out through the use
of new classroom technologies and other, similar texts with which to
create an educational audiovisual catalogue for the classroom and/or the
school.

Published: January 2024

From ancient period Music is a integral part of human life. People prefered to listen Music while relaxing. All over the world nowadays music is used as supporting medication for healing mental illness and many other diseases. The origin of Indian Music is Indian Classical Raga, having a melodious combination of Rhythm and notes. There are various users like music-composers, e-learners, music therapists are frequently retrieving Indian classical Raga based music. The vast retrieval of Raga based music made it necessary to classify Indian music on Raga. This paper proposes an a new algorithm to classify an Indian Music using Raga information which further will be useful for song recommendation, personalizing collection, and musicologists for various purpose.
In this paper, the combined Pitch and MFCC based PMFCC features are extracted and processed by Modified K Nearest Neighbor algorithm. The performance of PMFCC and Pitch Class Distribution features is compared using traditional machine learning classification algorithms and Modified Variant K Nearest Neighbor (MVKNN). The PMFCC features outperformed with the Modified KNN algorithm. The accuracy of PMFCC features with Modified KNN algorithm is found 96.11% for our Our dataset and 93.65% for Compmusic standard dataset.
