Published: October 2023

Abstract
Based on the conventional triaxial compression test of marble, the microscopic parameters corresponding to the macroscopic mechanical properties of marble were obtained by PFC2D, and on this basis, discrete element method models were established to conduct numerical tests of triaxial compression of marble under different confining pressures and loading rates to study the effect of loading rates on the rock specimens. Under the same confining pressure, brittle damage occurs in marble when the loading rate is low, and the damage type transforms from brittle to ductile as the loading rate increases. The peak strength, cracking stress, damage stress, cohesion, and internal friction angle of marble appear to increase with the increase in the loading rate under the same confining pressure. The characteristic stresses and strength parameters are linearly related to the loading rate. The influence of the loading rate on the peak strength is the most significant. With the increase in the confining pressure, the fitting coefficient of the linear relationship between initiation stress and loading rate decreases from 18.9 to 15.4 for different confining pressures, indicating that the growth rate of initiation stress decreases with the increase in the confining pressure when the loading rate is increased, and the increase in confining pressure suppresses the growth rate of initiation stress with loading rate.

Several actors with their powers and interests play important roles in national and regional planning in the agricultural sector. This study aims at analysing the dynamism of the actor relationship and the interaction of their interests in connection to the national and regional planning of the agriculture sector. The study method applied is descriptive qualitative with the analysis of the stakeholders. The results, each actor with his relations and power plays a strong role in the planning process. In the case of aspiration funds, parliament members are very dominant in allocating aid. In the case of co-administration funds: district heads and heads of services, and from central funds: technical director generals. No matter how democratic the concept of planning is made, there is always a distortion in making planning and policy formulations, which in the end the results of the planning that are born are the political preferences of the contesting elites. It is necessary for the Ministry of Agriculture, House Commision IV of Parliement, Provincial Office of the Agriculture Affairs and Regency to formulate a more comprehensive planning system to improve the management in the disbursement of the national fund.

Blepharospasm is an act of involuntary blinking .In few cases, disease become chronic with symptoms of persistent blinking and the person will be able to open his eyes only with a great effort which could eventually lead to a functional blindness. Most of the times it is associated with ALO (Apraxia of lid opening).ALO is an inability to initiate voluntary eyelid opening following a period of eyelid closure. Manual lifting of the eyelid often resolves the problem and lid is able to stay open for a while there after. Botulinum toxin injections are the treatment of choice for both Blepharospasm and ALO, which is too expensive and at the same time have only a temporary improvement. In Ayurveda such condition is comparable with Nimesha which is postulated to be resultant of Vata vitiation. Vata Shamana aushadhi and beside in Netra Tarpan ,Shashtika Pinda Sweda therapy of choice to treat above conditions. A single case study done at our department has shown significant improvement both in Continuous spasm of left eye, twitching of left eye (LPS) Photophobia, Stiffness in left side of face associated with heaviness around the eye after the patient was subjected to vata Shamana aushadhi.

Aims & Objectives: To assess the diagnostic usefulness of a quick urine trypsinogen 2 strip test to blood amylase and lipase in instances with acute pancreatitis. Methods: Patients who may have an acute pancreatitis diagnosis and have recent onset of stomach pain are included. In these cases, serum samples of amylase and lipase are sent before a urine sample is examined using a dipstick test for urinary trypsinogen-2. Fifty-two participants were included in the research. Ultrasound and CECT abdomen were used to monitor patients and confirm the diagnosis. A number of metrics were computed and compared, including sensitivity, specificity, PPV, NPV, and accuracy. Result: During June 2022 and June 2023, 52 consecutive patients complaining of upper abdominal discomfort were included in the research. Acute pancreatitis was the diagnosed diagnosis in 45 of the 52 patients, whereas other causes of abdominal discomfort were present in 7 individuals. The pee dipstick test was positive in 44 of the 45 instances, but was negative in 5 of the 7 cases when the discomfort in the abdomen was caused by anything other than a urinary tract infection. It was shown to have a 97.78 percent sensitivity, a 71.43 percent specificity, and a 94.23 % accuracy. Conclusion: Acute pancreatitis may be diagnosed quickly and easily with a fast urine trypsinogen-2 test. This study shows that the dipstick test is just as accurate as the gold standard procedures and may be used alternately with them.

Every human being planted by God since birth has a sense of love in his heart. With this feeling, man will be overwhelmed with peace and tranquility. When he knows love, he will choose who should put love first, the father and the father, the acquaintance, or the opposite sex. Or even he chose himself for him to love her. Even in this field, man may sometimes forget to declare his love for the one who instilled love in his heart. It’s Allah the Almighty who instilled love and the Messenger (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) was the first to feel this love and this love for man to love Allah. This paper will describe the meaning of love in the book of love in the Holy Quran by Saeed Ramadan Alp and Fold. This paper is a qualitative and descriptive research. Preliminary data are derived from the book "Love" in the Qur'an. The results of this study showed that the meaning of Love in the Qur'an is honor and the glory God gave to the Son of Adam. God's honor for people shaped who is love after following the Prophet Muhammad as the recipient of the tablet. This love leads to human beings working by submitting to the law of God Almighty. Based on the point of view of Roman Jacobson's theory of semiotics, this paper produces six important elements: Thesender is Allah the Almighty, the recipient The recipient is the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), the message and symbols are the verses that are revealed according to reality, and the context is the state or that surrounds the revelation of the verse, while the connection is when God spoke and his angels Gabriel transmitted it to the Prophet Muhammad. كل إنسان زرعه الله منذ ولادته لديه شعور بالحب في قلبه. وبهذا الشعور، سيغمر الإنسان السلام والهدوء. عندما يعرف الحب، سيختار من يجب أن يضع الحب أولا، الوالد، أو معرفة، أو الجنس الآخر. أو حتى أنه اختار نفسه له ليحبها. حتى في هذا المجال قد ينسى الإنسان أحيانا أن يعلن حبه للذي أغرس الحب في قلبه. هو الله سبحانه وتعالى الذي أغرس الحب والرسول صلى الله عليه وسلم أول من أحس هذا الحب وبهذا الحب على الإنسان أن يحب الله . ستصف هذه الورقة معنى الحب في كتاب الحب في القرآن الكريم بقلم سعيد رمضان البوطي. هذه الورقة هي بحث نوعي وصفي. البيانات الأولية مستمدة من كتاب "الحب" في القرآن. أظهرت نتائج هذه الدراسة أن معنى الحب في القرآن هو التكريم والمجد أعطاهما الله لابن آدم. وشكل تكريم الله للناس من هو المحبة بعد الاتباع بالنبي محمد كمستلم للوحي. هذه المحبة تأدي إلى البشر العملين بالخضوع لشريعة الله عز وجل. استنادا إلى وجهة نظرية رومان جاكوبسون في السيميائية، تنتج هذه الورقة ستة عناصر مهمة، وهي: المرسل هو الله سبحانه وتعالى، المستلم والمتلقي هو النبي محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم، والرسالة والرموز هما الآيات المنزلة حسب الواقع، والسياق هو الحالة أو التي تحيط بنزول الآية، في حين أن الاتصال هو عندما كلم الله وينقله ملائكته جبريل إلى النبي محمد.

Indonesia is a country in Southeast Asia which dominated by Muslim population. This condition brings halal products to have a very large market share potential, especially food and cosmetic products. A large number of Muslim consumers in Indonesia raises new challenges with the high public interest in Korean food and cosmetics products, which some types of products do not have a halal label. Because Korea is not a Muslim country, most of the imported products are not halal. That condition could be marked as the importance of awareness towards imported products that have non-halal status risk. Furthermore, due to the research limitation of Indonesian teenagers’ perspective about halal status, we need to provide more certain information about halal status. The method for this study uses a literature review by searching for a literature database obtained from the Google Scholar search engine with inclusion criteria such as articles in English or Indonesian, published between 2011-2021, accessible in full text, and articles discussing the halal status of Korean products and adolescent perspective. Indonesia, especially Muslim teenagers towards Korean cosmetic and food products. The results show that Indonesian teenagers’ huge interest in Korean products, the product’s halal status is one of the factors that affect teenagers' intention to buy Korean food and cosmetics and it works as a key factor/their priority in purchasing products. Teenagers are concerned about the halal status of Korean food and this aspect becomes a priority when buying Korean food. The conclusion of this study is that the halal status of Korean food and cosmetic products has an effect on consumer buying interest.

The introduction of formative assessment to improve students' self-assessment skills was one of the main innovations in Kazakhstan. However, there are issues with the implementation of formative assessment and its introduction. This study aims to examine the impact of the author's formative assessment techniques on students' self-evaluations. One of the methods was experimental work carried out in 2021-2022 at Almaty Secondary School No. 198. This study was carried out using 55 fourth grade students consisting of 27 students in grade four "A" (16 girls and 11 boys) as the experimental group (EG) and 28 students in grade four "B" (18 girls and 10 boys) as the control group (CG). The results identified problems with the introduction and implementation of formative assessments. This highlighted the importance of developing formative assessment strategies to improve students' self-evaluations. Our findings confirm that the identified and methodically substantiated procedures for improving self-assessment in students in primary school may be employed in classes with younger students and in teacher training groups.

Abstract

Parkinsonian syndrome (PS) is characterized by bradykinesia, resting tremor, and rigidity, and it represents the phenotype observed in various neurodegenerative disorders. Positron emission tomography (PET) imaging plays an important role in diagnosing PS by detecting the progressive loss of dopaminergic neurons. This study aimed to develop and compare five machine-learning models for classifying [18F]PR04.MZ PET images between patients with PS and subjects without evidence for dopaminergic deficit (SWEDD). A dataset of [18F]PR04.MZ PET images from 204 subjects was analyzed and classified into PS compatible (1) and SWEDDs (0) by three blinded expert readers. The images were preprocessed to generate two and three-dimensional datasets. Five different pattern recognition algorithms, commonly used for image analysis, were trained and validated, comparing their performance to the majority reading of expert diagnosis considered as the standard of truth. Three models outperformed the others, achieving an accuracy greater than 98%. The results demonstrated that our machine-learning models, combined with [18F]PR04.MZ PET images, provide highly accurate and precise tools to support clinicians in PET image analysis. This approach may reduce the time required for interpretation and increase certainty in the diagnostic process.

Abstract

Objective
The purpose of this project was to develop a formal visual arts training curriculum and evaluate if it improved the observational and descriptive skills of first- and second-year medical students for radiologic images.
Materials and Methods
A demographic survey and an initial pre-test of 12 radiologic images were administered asking an open-ended question to describe the image and to identify the abnormality in their own words. Three virtual one-hour sessions of visual thinking strategy (VTS) training occurred and an immediate post-test and a 6-month post-test were administered, each having different images than the pre-test, as well as a final questionnaire. All tests were independently graded by two graders with a previously established grading rubric. Differences in scores were analyzed using paired T-Tests.
Results
39 medical students participated. The mean pre-test score was 62.2 +/- 18.6 and the mean post-test score improved by 41.7 +/- 17.9 points (p < 0.01) to an average score of 103.9 +/- 20.4. There were 9 participants lost to follow-up at six months, and the average 6-month post-test score was 110.2 +/- 29.1 for a mean improvement of 9.3 +/- 13.1 points (p = 0.320) from the initial post-test.
Conclusion
There was significant improvement in observational and descriptive skills in first- and second-year medical students when describing radiologic images, which was retained after 6 months. A formal VTS curriculum could play a beneficial role in medical student and radiology training programs not only to improve observational skills but also to address perceptual errors in diagnostic imaging.

Published: October 2023

Abstract
Introduction: Some studies have shown that there is a certain relationship between diabetes mellitus (DM) and prostate cancer (PCa), but the specific relationship is still inconclusive. This study will investigate the potential relationship from the perspective of Mendelian randomization (MR) research.
Method: We downloaded relevant data of "diabetes" and "prostate cancer" from the IEU OpenGWAS project database, performing three different methods to conduct MR analysis, and carried out sensitivity analysis for verification.
Results: The results indicated that DM was an independent risk factor for PCa. The OR values obtained through the inverse variance weighted (IVW) method in this study was: OR = 1.018 (95% CI, 1.004 to 1.032), P = 0.014.
Conclusion: Through our research, we found that DM could increase the incidence rate of PCa.
