Authors: Abbas Wasim , Chaudhry Faryal , Afzal Deeba , Farooq Umar 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
The concept of resolving sets and metric bases has become fundamental in the fields of combinatorial chemistry and molecular topology, with far-reaching implications across various disciplines such as computer science, chemistry, pharmaceuticals, and mathematics. In the context of connected graphs, when a subset Z of the vertex set V has the property that it uniquely identifies each vertex in the graph G, it is termed a resolving set for G. The specific subset Z that accomplishes this with the fewest number of vertices is referred to as themetric dimension of G, making it a metric basis for the graph. The broadapplicability and importance of this versatile concept are evident in itsvarious practical applications, highlighting its wide-ranging significanceand usefulness. This research primarily focuses on exploring the metric dimension within Triangular, Hourglass, and rectangular benzenoid Systems
Revolutionizing Language Learning: Integrating Grammar, Listening, and Speaking for Effective Mastery
Authors: Alisoy Hasan 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
This study, conducted at Nakhchivan State University during the September-December 2023 term, explores the efficacy of an integrated language learning approach that combines traditional grammar instruction with practical listening and speaking activities. Aimed at addressing the limitations of conventional grammar-focused methods, this research investigates how a balanced approach can enhance language acquisition and learner engagement. Utilizing a mixed-methods design, the study involved classroom observations, student and teacher surveys, and pre- and post-study language assessment tests. The results indicate that the integrated approach significantly improves communicative competence, increases student engagement, and leads to higher retention rates compared to traditional methods. The study underscores the importance of practical language skills in educational settings and provides insights for educators and curriculum developers seeking to optimize language teaching strategies. While acknowledging its limitations, the study suggests directions for future research, emphasizing the need for long-term studies and diverse educational contexts to validate and refine the integrated language learning approach.
The evaluation of IL-4 intron 3 VNTR and TNF-α (rs1799964) gene polymorphisms in Egyptian patients with Alopecia Areata: a case-control study
Authors: Mostafa Maged , Abdelsalam Maha , Zohdy Marwa 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
Alopecia Areata (AA) is a non-scarring hair loss condition that usually affects the scalp. The exact pathogenesis is poorly understood, however, multiple factors like genetics, environmental, psychological, and immunological factors may have a role. The purpose of this study was to look into possible links between the functional Interleukin-4 (IL-4) gene intron 3 variable number of tandem repeats (VNTR) and TNF- (rs1799964) gene polymorphism and AA susceptibility. This case-control study consisted of 79 unrelated patients and 156 age and sex-matched healthy individuals as a control group. The Severity of Alopecia Tool (SALT) was used to asses the extent of hair loss from the scalp. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) with specific primers was used to determine IL-4 gene 70 bp VNTR polymorphism while polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR–RFLP) was used to investigate TNF-α (rs1799964) gene polymorphism. None of the selected polymorphisms for both genotypes and alleles had statistical significance when patients and controls were compared with each other (p-value > 0.05). Furthermore, the same results were retrieved when the genotypes were compared with the patient's clinical and demographic data (p-value > 0.05). The findings indicate that IL-4 VNTR intron 3 and TNF-α (rs1799964) gene polymorphisms are not linked to the development of AA in the Egyptian population.
A fuzzy multi-criteria group decision making method by combining of SWARA method and single-valued neutrosophic TOPSIS method

Published: December 2023

Abstract
Relatively recently, the proposed Step-wise Weight Assessment Ratio Analysis (SWARA) method is widely used as a subjective criterion weighting method due to its intuition in understanding and computational simplicity. On the other hand, TOPSIS is one of the most widely used MCDM methods and is constantly expanding towards decision-making problems in different fuzzy. As a special case of neutrosophic set-NS, a single valued neutrosophic set-SVNS has been proposed as a generalization of different fuzzy sets, including fuzzy sets, intuitionistic fuzzy sets, Pythagoras fuzzy sets, and Fermat sets. In a single valued neutrosophic set, the realistically ambiguous and uncertain phenomena are represented by three independent aspects: the truth-membership degree, the indeterminacy-membership degree and the falsity- membership degree. In this paper, we propose a method to implement fuzzy MCDM by combining the Step-wise Weight Assessment Ratio Analysis method and the single valued neutrosophic TOPSIS method. The weighting of experts participating in group decision making and the importance weighting of criteria is done using a Step-wise Weight Assessment Ratio Analysis method, and a s single valued neutrosophic TOPSIS method is used to evaluate alternatives with respect to different criteria and to select the most appropriate alternatives. The new method proposed in this paper is validated through its application to the priority decision problem of scientific research projects.
Recent and projected shifts from surface density compensation to warming, freshening and stronger stratification in the subpolar North Atlantic

Published: December 2023

Abstract

The hydrography and stratification of the subpolar North Atlantic is highly variable, with convection activating and deactivating across parts of the Labrador and Irminger seas. Likely consequential for the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC), this variability is examined in an eddy-resolving ocean model hindcast spanning 1958-2021 and in 1950-2050 simulations with four climate models, spanning differences in ocean resolution (eddy resolving or permitting), code and implementation. Stratification of the Labrador and Irminger seas is quantified with the Potential Energy Anomaly (PEA) in the upper 1000 m of the water column. Monthly PEA anomalies are evaluated alongside corresponding anomalies of sea surface temperature, salinity, and density. For 30-year windows, moving correlations between PEA and surface properties are obtained over the 100-year simulations to characterize the evolving relationships. As climate change progresses, stratification in three of the four models is increasingly associated with variable surface salinity, in both regions. Lagrangian analyses of surface flow pathways in the decades preceding 1990 and 2040, for one of the models in which surface salinity grows in influence, indicate that the subpolar presence of fresh Arctic waters and saline Atlantic waters increase and decrease respectively by 2040. Furthermore, in three of the four models, surface density compensation associated with correlation of surface temperature and salinity anomalies is progressively replaced by combined surface warming and freshening, lowering surface density, and strengthening stratification. The extent of these model-dependent changes and processes are of consequence for the projected fate of the AMOC by the mid 21st century.
The Prognosis of Pediatric Intensive Care Unit Patients Can Be Affected by Gamma Glutamyl transferase and Uric Acid Levels: A systematic review with Meta-Analysis.
Authors: Baloch Muhammad Daniyal , Abduhaer Abulaiti 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
Background Elevated Gamma Glutamyl transferase (GGT) and uric acid levels have been associated with worse outcomes in critically ill patients, but their predictive value in Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) patients is unclear. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate the association between GGT/uric acid and mortality in PICU patients.Methods PubMed, Embase and Cochrane Library were searched for observational studies examining the association between GGT/uric acid levels and mortality in PICU patients. Pooled risk ratios (R.R.) with 95% confidence intervals (CI) were calculated using random-effects models.Results 8 studies with 2,134 patients were included. Elevated GGT was associated with significantly higher mortality risk (RR 1.86, 95% CI 1.34–2.58). The association remained significant when restricted to multivariate analyses (RR 1.95, 95% CI 1.17–3.26). Elevated uric acid levels were also associated with higher mortality (RR 1.97, 95% CI 1.33–2.90). Significant heterogeneity was present.Conclusions Elevated Gamma Glutamyl transferase (GGT) and uric acid levels are associated with higher mortality risk in Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) patients. These biomarkers may assist in risk stratification, although additional studies are needed to confirm these findings.
Thermal Analysis and Crystallization of MY(Sb70Te30)100-Y (M = Ag, Sn; Y = 0, 7.5) Amorphous Thin Films

Published: December 2023

Abstract
Antimony-telluride based phase-change materials doped with different metals have been proposed to be ideal materials for improving the performance of phase-change memories. It is well known that Sb70Te30 thin films show a sharp fall in the electrical resistance in a narrow temperature range when heating. Therefore, it is interesting to study the effect of adding metallic atoms into this composition. In this work, the crystallization of My(Sb0.70Te0.30)100-y (M = Ag, Sn; y = 0, 7.5) amorphous thin films, obtained by pulsed laser deposition, has been studied by means of differential scanning calorimetry under continuous heating regime. The as-deposited samples and the crystallization products have been characterized by X-ray diffraction. The crystallization and melting temperatures were determined, as well as the enthalpies involved in such processes. The activation energy for crystallization was also determined. From the obtained results, it is observed that the addition of metals shifts the crystallization process to higher temperatures around 15-25 K and increases its activation energy. The transformation diagrams (Temperature-Time-Transformation and Temperature-Heating rate-Transformation) are calculated. The experimental results are discussed and correlated with proposed structures for the glass and the crystalline states. The present results are also compared with those reported by other authors.

Abstract
People worldwide are familiar with the health benefits of juices that are extracted from a variety of readily available fruits. The abundance, flavor, and health benefits of mangos make them a valuable fruit. Mango extract is used to make mango juice. Thus, research on mango juice is required to assess its nutritional value using various nutrient parameters and comparative analyses. Because of the chemicals (such as sulfur dioxide and sodium benzoate) added to the ingredients and the high concentration of microorganisms (yeast, mold), processed mango juice may not always be safe. All age groups agree that mango juice is the most popular non-alcoholic beverage in the world. In order to determine the pH, moisture content, TSS, TTA, protein, ash content, fat, and vitamin C values of the raw and processed mango juices from various local companies that are sold in the Arba Minch markets, our research looked at the following values: 3.95, 84.20, 13.91, 0.13, 1.4, 0.61, 0.51 and 28.87, 87.14, 12.19, 0.10, 0.99,0.73, 0.51, 39.18, respectively. The conventional physical and chemical methods determine all the parameters. This study shows that a significant number of various kinds of these nutritional components can be found in mango juices. The study's findings were contrasted with the original mango extract, which will help consumers evaluate the safety and nutritional value of mango juices. It was discovered that raw juice was more widely accepted than processed juice. The study suggests that juice be consumed raw by humans.

Published: December 2023

Amaç: Schwartz–Jampel Sendromu(SJS) miyotoni ile ilişkili, milyonda bir görülen nadir bir otozomal resesif iskelet displazisidir. Bu olgu sunumunda SJS’li 2 hasta ele alınmış olup hastaların klinik ve radyografik olarak incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır.
Olgu Sunumu: Kliniğimize başvuran hastalardan ilki 13 yaşında kadın ve ikinci hasta ise 34 yaşında erkektir. Hastaların her ikisinin de alınan anamnez sonucunda SJS Tip 1A’ya sahip olduğu öğrenildi. Hastaların her ikisinde de ekstraoral muayenede ağız açıklığında kısıtlılık, mikrognati, kas sertliği, temporamandibular eklem(TME) problemleri ve bruksizm tespit edildi. İntraoral muayenede her iki hastada da ilk olarak dişlerin anormal mine ve dentin yapısı dikkat çekerken buna ek olarak kadın hastada üst ve alt çenedeki dişlerin arasında diastemalar gözlemlendi, hastalarda taurodontik ve kissing molar dişler tespit edildi. Her iki hastanın da panoramik radyografilerinde mandibular ramusun uzunluğu olması gerektiğinden kısa ve tüm mandibular dişlerin apeksleriyle mandibular korteks arasındaki mesafenin azalmış olduğu tespit edildi.
Sonuç: Karakteristik yüz özellikleri, iskeletsel bozukluklar ve kas sertliği ile tanıya gidilir. Botoks uygulamaları da bu hastalarda görülen bruksizm ve TME problemlerinin semptomatik tedavisi olarak faydalıdır. Eğer hastaya genel ya da lokal anestezi altında herhangi bir tedavi uygulanacaksa mümkün olan tüm dental tedaviler bu seansta yapılmaya çalışılmalıdır. Kasların ve iskelet sisteminin yanı sıra dişler, çene kemikleri ve çevre dokular da etkilendiği için diş hekimlerinin üzerine büyük sorumluluk düşmektedir.
Multi-Objective Optimization for IRS-Aidded Multi-user MIMO SWIPT Systems
Authors: Quyet Pham Van , Kha Ha Hoang 
Published: December 2023

In this paper, we investigate an intelligent reflecting surface (IRS) assisted simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT) system in which users equipped with multiple antennas exploit power-splitting (PS) strategies for simultaneously information decoding (ID) and energy harvesting (EH). Different from the majority of previous studies which focused on single objective optimization problems (SOOPs) and assumed the linearity of EH models, in this paper, we aim at studying the multi-objective optimization problem (MOOP) of the sum rate (SR) and the totalharvested energy (HE) subject to the maximum transmit power (TP) constraint, the user quality of service (QoS), and HE requirements at each user with taking a practical non-linear EH (NLEH) model into consideration. To investigate insightful tradeoffs between the achievable SR and total HE, we adopt the modified weighted Tchebycheff method to transform the MOOP into a SOOP. However, solving the SOOPs and modified SOOP is mathematically difficult due to the non-convexity of the object functions and the constraints of the coupled variables of the base station (BS) transmit precoding matrices (TPMs), the user PS ratios (PSRs), and the IRS phase shift matrix (PSM). To address these challenges, an alternating optimization (AO) framework is used to decompose the formulated design problem into sub-problems. In addition, we apply the majorization-minimization (MM) approach to transform the sub-problems into convex optimization ones. Finally, numerical simulation results are conducted to verify the tradeoffs between the SR and the total amount of HE. The numerical results also indicate that the considered system using the IRS with optimal phase shifts provides considerable performance improvement in terms of the achievable SR and HE as compared to the counterparts without using the IRS or with the IRS of fixed phase shifts.

RESUMO
Introdução: Compreende-se estomia como uma intervenção cirúrgica cujo objetivo é estabelecer a comunicação entre um órgão e o meio externo, sendo sua denominação de acordo com o órgão exteriorizado. No Brasil a pessoa estomizada é contemplada com diretrizes e políticas públicas, além de ser entendida como uma deficiência, sendo necessário assim um cuidado integral, exigindo do profissional que presta a assistência e/ou orientação educação permanente. Objetivo: Relatar acerca da capacitação sobre cuidados de enfermagem com estomias intestinais aos enfermeiros atuantes na Secretaria Municipal de São Bento do Sul/Santa Catarina(SC) Metodologia:Trata-se de um estudo descritivo qualitativo do tipo relato de experiência, que se deu através de capacitação realizada em Junho de 2022, com os enfermeiros que atuam na secretaria municipal de saúde de São Bento do Sul/SC, o qual conta com 44 enfermeiros atuantes em 21 unidades básicas de saúde (UBS), com a temática 'cuidados de enfermagem com estomia de eliminação' , tendo o mesmo sido ministrado por enfermeira estomaterapeuta no formato presencial com discussão teórica e prática. Resultados e discussão: O Ministério da Saúde (MS) em parceria com o Ministério da Educação (ME) vem incentivando práticas formativas aos profissionais inseridos nos serviços, as quais estão amparadas na Política Nacional de Educação Permanente. Uma vez que a formação de enfermeiros no Brasil é generalista, os cursos e capacitação se tornam uma ferramenta fundamental para uma atuação reflexiva. Assim, dos 44 enfermeiros atuantes no município , participaram do treinamento 21 (47,72%), atendendo ao critério de ao menos um profissional por UBS , podendo este ser um multiplicador de conhecimento, estratégia importante da educação permanente em saúde. A capacitação em sua parte teórica abordava questões anatomofisiológicas e possíveis complicações, enquanto que na parte prática foram tratados estudos de caso e oficinas, com simulação, a fim de desenvolver o raciocínio clínico. Ao final do curso, foram desenvolvidos fluxos de atendimento com os participantes, buscando a descentralização do cuidado para as unidades básicas de cada enfermeiro, favorecendo a criação de vínculo dos pacientes com a equipe de saúde. Conclusões: Visto que um profissional orientado e seguro em sua prática implica diretamente na segurança do paciente, nesse sentido a realização de atividades como cursos, capacitações e eventos, principalmente quando se trata de pacientes estomizados, os quais geralmente sofrem com a resistência dos profissionais para realizar seu atendimento justamente por conta da insegurança, se tornam importantes ferramentas de aprimoramento profissional.

FATORES DIETÉTICOS E MICROBIANOS QUE INTERFEREM NO TRATAMENTO DA OSTEOARTRITE
Authors: Cunha Marcia Gabrielle Santana da , Brito Fernando Cesar Rodrigues , Lira Sandra Machado 
Published: December 2023

Introdução: A osteoartrite (OA) é uma doença degenerativa caracterizada pela deterioração progressiva da cartilagem articular, resultando em dor e incapacidade articular total em estágios avançados. É considerada um dos distúrbios articulares mais comuns em todo o mundo e sua prevalência está aumentando constantemente devido ao envelhecimento, dietas inflamatórias e inatividade física. Objetivo: O objetivo desta revisão integrativa foi investigar a contribuição da microbiota intestinal e dos componentes dietéticos, para tentar diminuir as patologias associadas a osteoartite. Metodologia: Trata-se de uma revisão integrativa, desenvolvida a partir da seleção de artigos disponíveis escritos em língua inglesa, publicados nas bases de dados Pubmed e Science Direct. Resultados: Pesquisas em animais mostram que os efeitos induzidos por dieta rica em gordura foram evidentes e indicaram uma inflamação sistêmica de baixo grau resultando no agravamento da OA por meio do aumento da degeneração da cartilagem. Dado o impacto potencial da dieta na OA, foram realizados estudos para avaliar a dieta mediterrânea, os níveis de ômega 3 e 6, vitamina C e E, com destaque para a oligofrutose, uma abordagem nova para tratar a OA da obesidade. Conclusões: Conclui-se que apesar de já existir alguma evidência da utilidade da nutrição através da dieta alimentar como complemento da terapêutica na osteoartrite, são necessários mais estudos que comprovem as intervenções na redução máxima dos marcadores inflamatórios ocasionando o alivio dos sintomas em pacientes com OA.

Published: December 2023

Introdução: As Práticas Integrativas e Complementares em Saúde (PICS) integram práticas e saberes milenares aos conhecimentos biomédicos ocidentais atuais. Dentro do SUS, especificamente na Atenção Primária à Saúde (APS), o principal local de atuação das PICS é nas Unidades Básicas de Saúde (UBS). Objetivo: Avaliar o uso das PICS no âmbito da APS no município de Mossoró/RN e o conhecimento dos gerentes das UBS sobre as PICS. Metodologia: Realizou-se um estudo descritivo transversal com abordagem quantitativa e qualitativa com gerentes de UBS de Mossoró. Foram utilizados dois questionários: um para avaliar o conhecimento dos gerentes das UBS acerca das PICS e outro para avaliar o processo de implementação e uso das práticas na UBS. Os dados foram coletados através da aplicação dos questionários de forma online por meio da ferramenta Google Forms. Resultados: 23 gerentes (48,9%) responderam aos questionários. A maioria dos entrevistados demonstraram conhecimentos sobre PICS, sendo as mais conhecidas acupuntura, meditação e fitoterapia. Apenas 17,4% das UBS ofertam alguma PICS, sendo a fitoterapia a principal. A aplicação das PICS é realizada majoritariamente por enfermeiros, sendo saúde mental e dores musculares as indicações mais comuns. Falha na tentativa de implantação de PICS foi atribuída à falta de capacitação profissional e recursos, enquanto a sua interrupção devido à escassez de material e à pandemia da COVID-19. Conclusões: Este estudo encontrou uma baixa prevalência de PICS oferecidas no município de Mossoró/RN. Destaca-se a necessidade de qualificação e capacitação em PICS dos profissionais da APS, bem como de melhor gestão dos recursos para sua efetiva implementação no município, visto sua importância na APS nos cuidados de saúde integral e prevenção de doenças.
