Perceptions on Oral Ulcers From Facebook Page Categories: Observational Study
Authors: Simhadri Suguna , Yalamanchi Sriha , Stone Sean , Srinivasan Mythily 
Published: March 2023

Background
Oral ulcers are a common condition affecting a considerable proportion of the population, and they are often associated with trauma and stress. They are very painful, and interfere with eating. As they are usually considered an annoyance, people may turn to social media for potential management options. Facebook is one of the most commonly accessed social media platforms and is the primary source of news information, including health information, for a significant percentage of American adults. Given the increasing importance of social media as a source of health information, potential remedies, and prevention strategies, it is essential to understand the type and quality of information available on Facebook regarding oral ulcers.

Objective
The goal of our study was to evaluate information on recurrent oral ulcers that can be accessed via the most popular social media network—Facebook.

Methods
We performed a keyword search of Facebook pages on 2 consecutive days in March 2022, using duplicate, newly created accounts, and then anonymized all posts. The collected pages were filtered, using predefined criteria to include only English-language pages wherein oral ulcer information was posted by the general public and to exclude pages created by professional dentists, associated professionals, organizations, and academic researchers. The selected pages were then screened for page origin and Facebook categories.

Results
Our initial keyword search yielded 517 pages; interestingly however, only 112 (22%) of pages had information relevant to oral ulcers, and 405 (78%) had irrelevant information, with ulcers being mentioned in relation to other parts of the human body. Excluding professional pages and pages without relevant posts resulted in 30 pages, of which 9 (30%) were categorized as “health/beauty” pages or as “product/service” pages, 3 (10%) were categorized as “medical & health” pages, and 5 (17%) were categorized as “community” pages. Majority of the pages (22/30, 73%) originated from 6 countries; most originated from the United States (7 pages), followed by India (6 pages). There was little information on oral ulcer prevention, long-term treatment, and complications.

Conclusions
Facebook, in oral ulcer information dissemination, appears to be primarily used as an adjunct to business enterprises for marketing or for enhancing access to a product. Consequently, it was unsurprising that there was little information on oral ulcer prevention, long-term treatment, and complications. Although we made efforts to identify and select Facebook pages related to oral ulcers, we did not manually verify the authenticity or accuracy of the pages included in our analysis, potentially limiting the reliability of our findings or resulting in bias toward specific products or services. Although this work forms something of a pilot project, we plan to expand the project to encompass text mining for content analysis and include multiple social media platforms in the future.

Traditional fermented meat products made from the flesh food in Indonesia are still rare, one of which is interesting to study is cangkuk. This research was conducted to study of the details cangkuk processing, the chemical, microbiological, and sensory characteristics of cangkuk originating Kuantan Singingi. The research consists of two stages (1) surveys and interviews regarding raw materials, formulations, processing methods and sociology of cangkuk, (2) analysis of their chemical, microbiological and sensory characteristics. Sampling method of the cangkuk by purposive sampling, derived from four villages : Sungai Manau, Kinali, Inuman and Pangean. Data analysis was done descriptively. The result showed that the processing of cangkuk had three formulations according to ratio between meat: bamboo shoots and or kepayang seeds:(2:1);(1:1);(1:1,7). Fermentation progress in anaerobic condition for seven days. The chemical characteristics were as follows: the content of water, protein, lipid, ash and pH value were 68-71%, 18-19%, 1,8-2,3%, 1,2-1,6%, 3,6-5,2, respectively. The total lactic acid bacteria (LAB) were 103-108 cfu/g, negative Salmonella, and total E.coli was <3-9,4 mpn/g. The sensory characteristic showed typical of color, sting aroma and meat texture was slightly tender. It can be concluded that the processing of cangkuk from Kuantan Singingi identified by ratio of raw materials and variety of fermentation media, good in chemical characteristic and total LAB, had typical sensory characteristic, but still contaminated E.

Static friction of normal and reversed metal–polymer sliding pairs
Authors: Opalka Mariusz 
Published: March 2023

Abstract
The frictional cooperation of materials with different hardnesses occurs in machine elements in one of the following two variants: simple or reversed friction pairs. For a simple sliding pair, the sliding materials' deformation area (contact area) does not move over the surface of the polymeric element during their interaction. In the case of reversed pairs, the contact surface changes its position as it moves over the surface of the polymer element. Tribological tests of selected sliding pairs (polymer on steel or steel on polymer) in static friction were carried out on a tribotester for tests in a reciprocating motion. The polymers selected for the research were popular sliding materials in engineering applications: ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (PEUHMW), polyoxymethylene (POM) and polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE). These materials cooperated with the C45 steel at different unit pressure (P = 0.5; 1; 2 [MPa]) in dry friction conditions. The measurement results showed a significant influence of the material combination variant (metal–polymer, polymer–metal) on the value of the friction coefficient. In all tested material combinations in which the steel sample (pin) slid over the polymer plate, the friction coefficient was higher than when the polymer sample worked with the steel plate.
Effects of GGBS and Fly Ash in Binders on Soil Stabilization for Road Construction
Authors: Lindh Per , Lemenkova Polina 
Published: March 2023

Abstract
In this paper we propose a new technique of soil stabilization for road construction based on using new alternative binders. The project aims to evaluate the effects of alternative additive materials in soil stabilization contexts for road construction. The alternative binders (slag, energy ash and bio ash as new alternative road construction material) have been used to complement the traditional binders (cement and lime). The project used five binders and evaluated their effects on soil strength. The proposed method comprises advantages of using the alternative binders which are the residual products contributing to a lower environmental impact. The results have shown that only slag has significant effects on the strength of the stabilized soil, while bio ash and energy ash make a marginal contribution to the increase of strength. This is caused by the twofold reasons. First, the effects of the amount of ashes that should reach a certain threshold with respect to the total amount of binder that must be exceeded to have the effect of the soil mixture. Second, the bio fly ash was stored and it was not completely fresh which may have contributed to the carbonation during the storage period and results in a lower hardening ability. Based on the results of the study we recommend the use of bio fly ash as a supply material andfor its amount to be adjusted so the storage period is not too long. This study verified the effects of slag, cement and lime on stabilization of soil for road construction.
Impact Assessment of Particulate Pollutants in Selected Traffic Congested Areas in Zaria Metropolis, Kaduna State, Nigeria

Published: March 2023

Abstract
It has been noticed that the concentration of particle pollutants in major nodal points in Zaria metropolis has continued to grow as the traffic volume increases. The concentration of particulate matter and meteorological data was measured within the Zaria metropolis and was limited to major ways within the town which include Kwangila, PZ, Kasua Mata, Agoro and Kofar Doka. The concentrations of the Particulate Matter in different particle sizes (P0.3, P0.5.P1.0, P2.5 and P5.0) were measured using particle counter, at each sampling point for 3hrs during the morning peak hours (7:00am to 10.00am), for 3hrs during the afternoon off peak hours (11.00am to 2:00pm) and for 3hrs for the evening peak hours (4:00 to 7:00pm) after a comprehensive traffic volume of vehicles plying the sampling points had been done for one month. The average traffic volume for the peak period (morning) across the five sampling points ranged from 2701-3060 while that of the evening peak hours ranged from 2676-3651. The average traffic volume for the off peak (afternoon) ranged from 1777-2255 with kwangila recording the highest traffic volume for both peak and off peak periods. The impact of traffic density on the concentration of particulate matter measured showed that increase in traffic led to a corresponding increase in the concentration of particulate matter recorded for both peak and off- peak periods. The P2.5 was used as bases for comparison with the AQI standard for peak and off peak periods. For peak hour session, the air quality at Kwangila, Kasua Mata and Agoro was classified as unhealthy and hazardous while that of PZ and Kofar Doka was classified unhealthy to people with heart and lungs diseases. The concentration of PM obtained for off-peak period for all the sampling points was classified moderate and safe when compared with AQI standard. In this regard, there is a need to not only promote public transportation with larger capacity of passengers but to also improve the public transportation system. This will reduce greenhouse gas emissions by providing a convenient option to reduce unnecessary driving and by lowering emissions per passenger kilometer travelled. The use of non-motorized means of transportation would also help in curbing excessive release of pollutants into the atmosphere. Planting of Trees along major ways to trap and absorb pollutants is another option of reducing the amount of pollutants in the atmosphere. The use of older vehicles should be discouraged. The older a vehicle is the more the tendency to emit more pollutants.
Using Machine Learning Techniques to Incorporate Social Priorities in Traffic Monitoring in a Junction with a Fast Lane

Published: March 2023

Abstract
Traffic lights monitoring that considers only traffic volumes is not necessarily the optimal way to time the green/red allocation in a junction. A “smart” allocation should also consider the necessities of the vehicle’s passengers and the needs of the people those passengers ought to serve.
This paper deals with a “smart” junction, where several cars approach the intersection from different directions and a traffic light is set to comply to a sequence of time intervals of red and green lights in each direction. The novel approach presented here is based not only on traffic congestion parameters, but also on the social and economic characteristics of the passengers (e.g. a handicapped person, a medical doctor, an employee who is extremely required in a certain organization due to an emergency situation). This paper proposes to enhance the smart junction with a fast lane, which has a flexible entry permit based on social and economic criteria. Machine learning (specifically, Reinforcement Learning (RL)) is added to the junction’s algorithm with the aim of optimizing the social utility of the junction. For the purposes of this study, the utility of the junction is defined by the total social and economic potential benefits given a certain red/green time allocation is set. This is defined as the measure of the reward function which contains positive factors for vehicles which crossed the junction or advanced their position and a negative factor for vehicles which remains in their positions. In addition, a weight value for the vehicles with high priority is also part of the equation.
A simplified version of the smart junction has been used, serving as a model for incorporating RL into the “smart’ junction with Fast Lane (FL). Specifically, the Q-Learning algorithm is used to maximize the reward function. Simulation results show that prioritizing high priority vehicles via FL is influenced by the weights and factors given to the reward components. Farther research should enhance the “Smart” junction with FL to a more complex and realistic one using a varying amount of vehicles crossing the junction.

Index keberlanjutan rantai pasok agroidustry kopi di Indonesia mempunyai indikasi tidak memiliki nilai keberlanjutan yang tinggi. Hal ini diakibatkan karena terjadinya banyak persoalan, salah satu diantaranya adalah rendahnya pendapatan petani yang menunjukkan terjadinya ketidakseimbangan distribusi nilai tambah. Tujuan penelitian yang dilakukan adalah untuk melakukan analisis besarnya nilai tambah yang diperoleh oleh para aktor dan merancang usulan strategi untuk meningkatkan index keberlanjutan pada rantai pasok agroindustry kopi. Analisis nilai tambah dilakukan dengan menggunakan Hayami. Tahapan yang dilakukan adalah analisis konversi, identifikasi aktor yang terlibat dalam rantai pasok dan melakukan perhitungan keuntungan setiap aktor. Besarnya nilai keuntungan yang diperoleh oleh para aktor pada rantai pasok yang ada, cukup beragam, dimana keuntungan terbesarnya diperoleh oleh pengumpul (81,04%), sedangkan keuntungan terkecilnya diperoleh oleh petani yaitu 57,77%. Rendahnya keuntungan petani akan berdampak terhadap rendahnya kualitas biji kopi dan terhadap produktivitas, sehingga diusulkan untuk dirancang sebuah kelembagaan untuk menghapus sistem ijon dan mendorong petani untuk dapat berinteraksi dengan bank dan pasar, serta terbuka kesempatan petani untuk menentukan harga.

Published: March 2023

Objectives:
Acute repetitive seizures (ARSs) are one of the few commonly encountered neurological emergencies in children. There is a need for an appropriate timeline-based treatment protocol, which will be shown to be safe and efficacious in a clinical study.

Materials and Methods:
This was a retrospective chart review to determine the efficacy of a pre-specified treatment protocol for the management of ARSs in children aged 1–18 years. The treatment protocol was specifically applied in children with a diagnosis of epilepsy and not critically ill, who met the criteria for ARSs, with the exemption of new onset of ARSs. The first tier of treatment protocol focused on intravenous lorazepam, optimization of dose of existing anti-seizure medications (ASMs), and control of triggers like acute febrile illness, while second-tier focused on adding one or two additional ASMs, commonly used in cases with seizure clusters or status epilepticus.

Results:
We included the first 100 consecutive patients (7.6 ± 3.2 years, 63% boys). Our treatment protocol was successful in 89 patients (58 and 31 required first-tier and second-tier treatment). The absence of pre-existing drug-resistant epilepsy and the presence of acute febrile illness as a triggering factor (P = 0.02 and 0.03) were associated with the success of the first tier of the treatment protocol. Excessive sedation (n = 29), incoordination (n = 14), transient gait instability (n = 11), and excessive irritability (n = 5) were the most common adverse effects observed during the initial 1 week.

Conclusion:
This pre-specified treatment protocol is safe and efficacious in controlling ARSs in cases with established epilepsy who are not critically sick. External validation from other parts of the world/centers and a more diverse epilepsy population are required before generalizing the protocol into clinical practice.
