Published: August 2023

AbstractThe study is an applied research aimed to investigate the role of motivation training on future orientation of adolescent in Jatinangor, Indonesia. Future orientation is individual orientation of adolescence in future context. It become a guidance to achieve systematic changes to accomplish their goal (Nurmi 1991). The study used posttest design experimental approach to investigate the role of training. Measurement tools consist of observation notes, training evaluation questioner and future orientation questioner. The results of the study indicated that future orientation of adolescent in Jatinangor considered as high. It shows the object already have clear future orientation. The biggest contribution aspect for their future orientation is motivation. Planning and evaluation aspects are still considered as intermediate level. This result indicates that adolescent still needs to be guided to get strategies and methods in order to plan their future. Motivation training was conducted to assists adolescent to plan and determine their goals and also make strategy to implement their planning. After training, they were more motivated to continue their education to a higher level, aware of education strategy, able to enhance knowledge about interested subject and kind of occupation they can do in the future.
Cross linguistic influence in adult L2/L3 learners:
Authors: Fung King Tat Daniel , Murphy Victoria A. 
Published: August 2023

AbstractThe potential ways in which learning a second or third language can influence other languages in the mind of the (emergent) bilingual is an increasingly important issue given the international importance of foreign language learning. This study explored whether learning French as a foreign language influences knowledge of English morphosyntax in learners of L2 French with L1 English (n=21) and learners of L3 French with L2 English (n=9). Comparing these two groups allowed us to identify whether and to what extent backwards cross linguistic influence (CLI) are different depending on whether French is L2 or L3, and whether English is L1 or L2. Accuracy on tenseaspects of English morphosyntax was measured through two tasks (Grammaticality Judgement and Proofreading). Results indicated no inhibitive influence from L2 French to L1 English, with potential enhancement of explicit knowledge when compared to a control group of English-speaking participants with no French. In contrast, influence leading to inaccuracy was observed from L3 French to L2 English in that the L3 French learners made more errors in past simple and present perfect in the GJT. Results are discussed in the context of better understanding the nature of developing grammatical systems, together with implications for future work.
Noam Chomsky and the History of Ideas
Authors: Giridhar P.P 
Published: August 2023

AbstractNoam Chomsky incarnates rationalism in the study of language like no other man has or does in man’s history, it seems to me. I will attempt to elucidate this position, however inchoately and incompletely, by enumerating his revolutionarily perceptive contributions to the study of language as a phenomenon. There is so much conventional perceptual deadwood about language that its position in epistemological space needs to be clarified, and perspectivised, deadwood that has come down and continues to float down the canons in the social sciences and the humanities. Once clarified, people could agree or disagree. People now seem to disagree with some of these positions without understanding them! The paper will position Chomsky in his niche in the history of ideas about language, a niche which is noticeably distinctly different from that of a Panini, the great Indian grammarian or a Sibavahi, the great Arabic grammarian, the three of whom together form the great grammarian trio the world has seen 2 . The intervention is clearly more an elucidatory, albeit argumentative, exercise than an originally researched paper although of course it has to do with placing language in epistemological space.

AbstractThis study identifies the level of intellectual quality of pre-university students in Malaysia. A mixed method approach is adapted to acquire data and information from the samples and informans. A total of 500 sixth form pre-university students from 38 secondary schools in Penang was selected quantitatively. Classroom observations of pre-university classes of 8 students from 8 schools in Penang were done to obtain information for qualitative method. Data analysis using descriptive statistics and thematic analysis were used. The research findings show that the intellectual quality of pre-university students is at a moderate level with girls showing higher intellectual level than boys for all six dimensions of intellectual quality. Meanwhile, the Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) and Problem Solving Skills dimensions have the most number of students at a high level compared to other dimensions. The study also showed that the students who major in religious studies shown a higher intellectual quality for all dimensions compared to those who major in science and arts. Information gain through qualitative study also found that students shows an interest in learning the subject when the teachers integrated the usage of ICT during teaching and learning session. This enhanced the students to apply HOTS as well as Problem Solving Skills. Information gathered through this study will provide new understanding and knowledge to teachers and researchers related to intellectual thoughts and pedagogical practices that can be used to improve sixth form pre-university students intellectual quality and hence help improve students’ intellectual capital to keep abreast with the rapid developing country in the 21st century.
Classification of melanonychia, Beau’s lines, and nail clubbing based on nail images and transfer learning techniques
Authors: Coşar Soğukkuyu Derya Yeliz , Ata Oğuz 
Published: August 2023

Background
Nail diseases are malformations that appear on the nail plate and are classified according to their own signs and symptoms that may be related to other medical conditions. Although most nail diseases have distinct symptoms, making a differential diagnosis of nail problems can be challenging for medical experts.

Method
One early diagnosis method for any dermatological disease is designing an image analysis system based on artificial intelligence (AI) techniques. This article implemented a novel model using a publicly available nail disease dataset to determine the occurrence of three common types of nail diseases. Two classification models based on transfer learning using visual geometry group (VGGNet) were utilized to detect and classify nail diseases from images.

Result and Finding
The experimental design results showed good accuracy: VGG16 had a score of 94% accuracy and VGG19 had a 93% accuracy rate. These findings suggest that computer-aided diagnostic systems based on transfer learning can be used to identify multiple-lesion nail diseases.

Authors: Qu Jia , Song Zihao , Cheng Xiaolong , Jiang Zhibin , Zhou Jie 
Published: August 2023

Background
A growing number of experiments have shown that microRNAs (miRNAs) can be used as target of small molecules (SMs) to regulate gene expression for treating diseases. Therefore, identifying SM-related miRNAs is helpful for the treatment of diseases in the domain of medical investigation.

Methods
This article presents a new computational model, called NIRBMSMMA (neighborhood-based inference (NI) and restricted Boltzmann machine (RBM)), which we developed to identify potential small molecule-miRNA associations (NIRBMSMMA). First, grounded on known SM-miRNAs associations, SM similarity and miRNA similarity, NI was used to predict score of an unknown SM-miRNA pair by reckoning the sum of known associations between neighbors of the SM (miRNA) and the miRNA (SM). Second, utilizing a two-layered generative stochastic artificial neural network, RBM was used to predict SM-miRNA association by learning potential probability distribution from known SM-miRNA associations. At last, an ensemble learning model was conducted to combine NI and RBM for identifying potential SM-miRNA associations.

Results
Furthermore, we conducted global leave one out cross validation (LOOCV), miRNA-fixed LOOCV, SM-fixed LOOCV and five-fold cross validation to assess performance of NIRBMSMMA based on three datasets. Results showed that NIRBMSMMA obtained areas under the curve (AUC) of 0.9912, 0.9875, 0.8376 and 0.9898 ± 0.0009 under global LOOCV, miRNA-fixed LOOCV, SM-fixed LOOCV and five-fold cross validation based on dataset 1, respectively. For dataset 2, the AUCs are 0.8645, 0.8720, 0.7066 and 0.8547 ± 0.0046 in turn. For dataset 3, the AUCs are 0.9884, 0.9802, 0.8239 and 0.9870 ± 0.0015 in turn. Also, we conducted case studies to further assess the predictive performance of NIRBMSMMA. These results illustrated the proposed model is a useful tool in predicting potential SM-miRNA associations.

Aim: The study is designed to assess the perception and attitude towards the involvement of males in family planning practices in Nigeria.
Methodology: This study design was a descriptive cross-sectional design, whose population were males (15-55 years), and selected via the convenience sampling technique. The research instrument was a semi-structured questionnaire on male involvement in family planning and was subjected to face and content validity (Cronbach Alpha = 0.673). The study data (responses) were analysed using simple frequency, percentages, and means, with the Statistical Packages for Social Sciences (SPSS) V 21.
Results: Most of the men (n=267; 96.4%) have good knowledge of family planning, and there is a medium level of men’s involvement (n=141; 50.9%) towards family planning practices. Furthermore, regarding their behaviours towards family planning methods involvement, 208 (75.1%) men disagreed that family planning is meant for only females and that contraceptives are not working for males, while all the men (n=277; 100 %) disagreed that family planning is meant for the literate only. More so, half of the men (n=147; 53.1%) rejected that family planning delay pregnancy, while 208 (75.1%) men accepted that it prevents pregnancies. These results proved that the men do not believe only the literate utilize family planning methods.
Conclusion: Most males are knowledgeable about family planning and many adopted condoms as their methods of family planning, which implies that men could be effectively involved in family planning with proper and effective education.

Malaria is one of the major public health issues in Africa as its affects human beings at different levels. However, any wrong diagnosis of malaria infection can lead to severe ill health, and death of the infected individual. This study was carried out to compare different diagnostic methods of malarial detection within owerri municipal in Imo State Nigeria. Blood samples were collected from patients and diagnosed via microscopy, antigen assay technique and polymerase chain reaction. About 200 blood samples were obtained utilizing the Ethylenediamine tetracetic acid (EDTA) bottles and examined. In 200 blood samples, microscopy had 75 total positive and Antigen assay had 83 while, PCR had 94 However, a percentage prevalence of about 37% was obtained from microscopy though, about 41.5% were observed in Antigen Assay and 47% for a Polymerase chain reaction. There was high malaria prevalence recorded in relation to age within the age range of 31 to 40. The Sensitivity and specificity of the three diagnostic methods show that PCR had the highest for both while, microscopy had the least sensitivity followed by RDT. Moreover, positive predictive value and negative predictive value assessments were analyzed. The results showed that Microscopy has a 0.2% chance of missing a truly positive and antigen assay has 0.1% while, PCR has 0%. Therefore, more emphasis should be given to PCR as the possibility of an error during diagnosis is less.

Introduction: Meningitis represents a major public health problem in the tropical countries Objective: To determine the sensitivity to antibiotics of bacteria associated with meningitis in children at Donka National Hospital in Conakry.
Methods: This is a prospective and descriptive cross-sectional study conducted from January 20th to April 20th, 2022. A total of 110 cerebrospinal fluids samples (CSF) from suspected children were cultured on different agar media.
Results: The results showed that 13 samples were positive. Three different bacterial species were identified: Streptococcus pneumoniae (54%=7/13), Hemophilus influenzae b (31%=4/13) and Escherichia coli (15%=2/13). Males predominated, with a sex ratio (M/F) of 1.6. The commune of Ratoma was the most represented with 36%. The most clinical manifestations were fever (54%), vomiting (35%), meningeal stiffness (20%), convulsion (24%) and headache (27%). All the Streptococcus pneumoniae strains were susceptible to levofloxacin and ofloxacin (100%), while 57% of these strains were susceptible to amikacin, 43% to tobramycin as well as to nitrofurantoin and 29% to gentamicin. For Hemophilus influenzae, 75% of the strains were susceptible to gentamicin as well as to tobramycin, ciprofloxacin, levofloxacin, and ofloxacin, while the susceptibility to amikacin was 50%. Finally, all Escherichia coli strains were sensitive to ciprofloxacin, levofloxacin, ofloxacin and nitrofurantoin, while only 50% of these strains were susceptible to amikacin and tobramycin.
Conclusion: This study showed that three bacterial species were associated to meningitis in children, of which Streptococcus pneumoniae was mainly encountered. Quinolones and aminoglycosides were the most active antibiotic families on these strains studied. The study populations being made up of children and the fact that quinolones are not recommended in this category of patients, aminoglycosides should be chosen for the empirical treatment of children. However, the treatment of cases of meningitis requires antibiotic treatment whenever possible based on the results of an antibiogram.

Published: August 2023

ImportanceIn-office suprachoroidal viscopexy (SCVEXY) is a minimally invasive technique for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) repair that can be performed with no incision, no tamponade agent, and no positioning requirements. This technique has the potential to be a step forward in the armamentarium to treat RRDs.ObjectiveTo describe in-office SCVEXY for RRD repair.Design, Setting, and ParticipantIn this single-case report with short follow-up, a man in his 50s with pseudophakia and recent visual loss presented to St Michael’s Hospital, Unity Health Toronto, with a fovea-off RRD in the right eye, extending from 6 to 10 o’clock, with no visible causative retinal break.ExposureInjection of suprachoroidal sodium hyaluronate, 1%, in the region of the suspected break, using a 30-gauge needle with a custom-made guard that exposed only 1 mm of the needle.Main Outcome and MeasuresAbility to perform in-office SCVEXY and to obtain a visible choroidal indentation.ResultsAfter the procedure, a dome-shaped choroidal convexity was present in the superior temporal area. The patient achieved macular reattachment in less than 24 hours with no postoperative abnormalities, such as outer retinal folds, residual subfoveal fluid, or retinal displacement, with rapid recovery of the outer retinal bands on optical coherence tomography. The optical coherence tomography scans acquired in the area of the choroidal convexity demonstrated the location of the viscoelastic material in the suprachoroidal space. Laser retinopexy was applied in the suspected region of the retinal tear, and the patient was able to resume normal activity immediately after the procedure with no restrictions.Conclusions and RelevanceSuprachoroidal viscopexy is feasible as an in-office technique to create a temporary choroidal buckle for RRD repair. It is a minimally invasive procedure with the potential to maximize anatomical outcomes of integrity and postoperative functional outcomes in RRD because its mechanism of action does not require drainage of subretinal fluid or intraocular gas tamponade. Nevertheless, this was a single-case report with short follow-up, which limits the ability to determine the procedure’s benefits, potential adverse events, failure rates, and best-case selection. Further work is required to refine the procedure and assess its efficacy and safety.

AbstractThe development of self‐healing conductive hydrogels is critical in electroactive nerve tissue engineering. Typical conductive materials such as polypyrrole (PPy) are commonly used to fabricate artificial nerve conduits. Moreover, the field of tissue engineering has advanced toward the use of products such as hyaluronic acid (HA) hydrogels. Although HA‐modified PPy films are prepared for various biological applications, the cell–matrix interaction mechanisms remain poorly understood; furthermore, there are no reports on HA‐modified PPy‐injectable self‐healing hydrogels for peripheral nerve repair. Therefore, in this study, a self‐healing electroconductive hydrogel (HASPy) from HA, cystamine (Cys), and pyrrole‐1‐propionic acid (Py‐COOH), with injectability, biodegradability, biocompatibility, and nerve‐regenerative capacity is constructed. The hydrogel directly targets interleukin 17 receptor A (IL‐17RA) and promotes the expression of genes and proteins relevant to Schwann cell myelination mainly by activating the interleukin 17 (IL‐17) signaling pathway. The hydrogel is injected directly into the rat sciatic nerve‐crush injury sites to investigate its capacity for nerve regeneration in vivo and is found to promote functional recovery and remyelination. This study may help in understanding the mechanism of cell–matrix interactions and provide new insights into the potential use of HASPy hydrogel as an advanced scaffold for neural regeneration.

AbstractThirteen affected individuals of six generations of a single kindred presented with epiphora evident from infancy. Physical exam and Schirmer test revealed variable expression of tear deficiency, congenital punctal atresia, and dry mouth with multiple caries, without concomitant abnormalities of the ears or digits, commensurate with a diagnosis of aplasia of the lacrimal and salivary glands (ALSG). Reconstruction of the upper lacrimal drainage system was performed in some of the affected individuals. Genetic analysis, testing six affected individuals and three non‐affected family members, identified a single novel heterozygous splice‐site variant, c.429 + 1, G > T in fibroblast growth factor 10 (FGF10) (NM_004465.1), segregating throughout the family as expected for dominant heredity. RT‐PCR assays of HEK‐293 cells transfected with wild type or mutant FGF10 demonstrated that the variant causes skipping of Exon 2. Notably, individuals sharing the same variant exhibited phenotypic variability, with unilateral or bilateral epiphora, as well as variable expression of dry mouth and caries. Moreover, one of the variant carriers had no ALSG‐related clinical findings, demonstrating incomplete penetrance. While coding mutations in FGF10 are known to cause malformations in the nasolacrimal system, this is the second FGF10 splice‐site variant and the first donor‐site variant reported to cause ALSG. Thus, our study of a unique large kindred with multiple affected individuals heterozygous for the same FGF10 variant highlights intronic splice‐site mutations and phenotypic variability/partial penetrance in ALSG.
