Published: August 2023

Abstract
By chemical modification of corn starch with sodium monochloroacetate in the solid phase, samples of sodium salt of carboxymethyl starch (Na-CMS) with different degrees of substitution (DS) were synthesized. In the synthesis of Na-CMS, solvents such as water, methanol, ethanol, butanol, and isopropyl alcohol were used as humectants in the reaction mixture. The viscosity of dilute aqueous solutions of Na-CMS was studied by capillary viscometry. It is shown that dilute solutions of Na-CMS exhibit properties characteristic of polyelectrolytes. The rheological properties of aqueous solutions of the synthesized Na-CMS samples were studied by the method of rotational viscometry. By changing the shear rate gradient over a wide range, the values of the shear stress and the effective viscosity of the solutions at different temperatures were determined. At the same time, the obtained data showed that aqueous solutions of Na-CMS belong to non-Newtonian liquids in the entire studied temperature range. It was also found that the dynamic viscosity of Na-CMS solutions decreases with an increase in their DS. The activation energy of the viscous flow of Na-CMS solutions was determined, the value of which shows that the polymer macromolecules interact with each other through hydrogen bonds.

Abstract

PURPOSE: Liberian refugees have lived in Nigeria since the 1990s experiencing unemployment, discrimination, stigmatization, and emotional and psychological challenges. Perceived social support (PSS) is a crucial cognitive factor that mediates the relationship between the experience of shame and psychological distress. However, there is a paucity of literature on the mediating effects of PSS and shame on psychological distress and their domain-specificities among Liberian refugees. In closing these knowledge gaps, this study aimed to examine the mediating effect of PSS and shame on psychological distress and their domain-specificities among Liberian refugees in Nigeria.
METHODS: Using a quantitative research approach, we collected data through questionnaires from 520 participants, including 334 males and 186 females, in the refugee camp in Nigeria.
RESULTS: Our findings revealed partial mediation between shame and psychological distress. The dimension of PSS was negatively associated with the dimensions of psychological distress and shame, while the dimension of shame was positively related to the dimension of psychological distress. In addition, behavior shame was positively related to the dimensions of PSS. However, family support failed to associate with anxiety and bodily shame.
CONCLUSIONS: shame is a pathological social emotion that increases psychological distress without the presence of PSS. However, PSS has a potential influence in decreasing psychological distress and shame. This study's finding aligns with the IFS theory that culminated in the need for connected relationships with Family, friends, and significant others to manage the shameful parts and psychological distress.

Abstract
Based on the pubertal timing mediation hypothesis, this study explored the influence of pubertal timing on self-identity among junior high school girls, and explored the role of parenting styles in this relationship. The Pubertal Development Scale (PDS), Short-Egna Minnen Beträffande Uppfostran for Children (s-EMBU-C), and the Extend Objective Measure of Ego Identity Status-2 (EOM-EIS-2) were used to measure seventh, eighth, and ninth-grade students in nine junior high schools in Hunan and Anhui provinces, and a total of 1000 questionnaires were distributed and 733 valid questionnaires were collected. Results revealed that there was a significant correlation between pubertal timing and self-identity, and parenting style mediated the relationship between pubertal timing and self-identity. Maternal rejection partially mediated the relationship between early puberty and consciousness diffusion, and also partially mediated the relationship between early puberty and overall diffusion. The findings indicated that Early puberty can affect not only the diffusion of consciousness and the overall diffusion of girls, but also the diffusion of consciousness and the overall diffusion of girls through maternal rejection.

Abstract
Background
It is controversial whether antibiotic should be used prophylactically 48 hours after pancreatic surgery. Hence, We evaluated the association of antibiotic prophylaxis (AP) after 48 hours postoperatively with the incidence of surgical site infections (SSIs) and other healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) in patients receiving pancreatic surgery.
Methods
A retrospective cohort analysis was performed on 1073 patients who underwent pancreatic surgery. These patients were categorized into non-postoperative AP group (963) and postoperative AP group (110) based on whether or not they obtained AP from 48 hours to 30 days after surgery. Outcomes included SSIs and other HAIs.
Results
The incidence of SSIs was lower in the non-postoperative AP group (98/963, 10.2%) than in the postoperative AP group (22/110, 20.0%) (P = 0.002). Other HAIs incidence was not significantly different between the non-postoperative AP group (77/963, 8.0%) and the postoperative AP group (11/110, 10.0%) (P = 0.468). Multiple regression analysis demonstrated that postoperative AP was a risk factor for SSIs (OR = 2.14, 95%CI = 1.28–3.59) but not with other HAIs (OR = 1.24, 95%CI = 0.63–2.42) after adjustment for age, gender and diabetes. Subsequent to adjustment for all confounding factors, postoperative AP was not a risk factor for SSIs (OR = 2.42, 95%CI = 0.79–7.37) and other HAIs (OR = 4.10, 95%CI = 0.98–17.22).
Conclusions
Postoperative AP following pancreatic surgery was not associated with the lower morbidity rate of SSIs and other HAIs. Nonetheless, this study may facilitate further development of strategies towards standardization of the duration of AP management of pancreatic surgery.

Published: August 2023

Abstract
Background:
Following the improved access to combined antiretroviral therapy (cART) in poor resource limited countries, emergence of HIV drug resistance has been observed and hence limiting the benefit of effective treatment. This study assessed the prevalence and patterns of acquired HIV drug resistance among patient on first-line antiretroviral drugs after twelve months of follow up in Kisii Teaching and referral clinic, Kisii County, Kenya
Methodology:
A longitudinal study with two time CD4 and viral load counts were conducted in a period of 12 months to determine treatment failure and drug resistance during the period between 2018 and 2019. Adults receiving combined first-line antiretroviral treatment at Kisii, Kenya recruited. A Structured questionnaire was administered and demographic data collected. HIV-1 pol genotyping for drug resistance were performed using in-house PCR protocol.
Results:
A total of 75 patients were recruited with a mean age of 36.9 years during the period between 2018 and 2019. Among these patients taking first-line drug, drug-associated mutations for NRTIs occurred in 21 (28%) patients and NNRTIs in 25 (33.3%) patients (33.3%).. Among them, nine (9) patient’s harboured viral strains having both major NNRI and NNRTI drug resistance mutations with four experiencing virological failure. The most frequent major NNRTIs mutation was the TAMs K219Q (n = 13) mutation. The TUM mutans T215K (n = 5), K70R (n = 3), and D67N (n = 1) were also found. The K65R NAMs was also found in patients (n = 2). The T215K (n = 5), K70R (n = 3), and D67N (n = 1) were among the additional TAMs found. The K65R NAMs was also found in patients (n = 2). The most frequent major NNRTI mutation detected was K103N (n = 9), followed by Y181F (n = 6), G190V (n = 5), and n = 2 for each of L100P, K101E, V108A, and Y188H. Also found were other relative non-polymorphic accessory mutations (n = 2) A98G,
Conclusions:
The study's findings demonstrated that the studied population had a low level of acquired HIV treatment resistance. HIV drug resistance would be easily managed if UNAIDS' 95%-95%-95% HIV prevention policy were perfectly implemented.

Abstract
Background: The emergence of COVID-19, stemming from SARS-CoV-2, has triggered a global pandemic, urging rapid therapeutic interventions. Remdesivir, a nucleotide analog prodrug, garnered attention for its potential against COVID-19 due to in vitro efficacy against coronaviruses. This study reviews Remdesivir's adverse effects in COVID-19 patients.
Methodology: While Remdesivir shows promise, recent studies raise efficacy concerns. Adverse drug event (ADE) documentation is vital due to limited pre-pandemic ADE data. WHO VigiBase® analysis (2015-2020) and COVID-19 ADE studies were undertaken, focusing on age, severity, region, and organ impact. 1086 ADEs emerged from 439 case reports by July 19, 2020, in VigiBase®, reducing to 1004 after duplicates were removed. ADEs primarily related to COVID-19 patients (92.5%), notably from the Americas (67.7%). Mainly in males above 45, ADEs were serious (82.5%). Key ADEs encompassed elevated hepatic enzymes (32.1%), renal damage (14.4%), increased creatinine levels (11.2%), and respiratory failure (6.4%).
Conclusion: Liver and kidney function deterioration emerged as frequent ADEs, underscoring the need for vigilance during Remdesivir treatment. These findings align with regulatory documents. In sum, COVID-19 has prompted swift therapeutic responses, with Remdesivir being explored as a potential treatment. This study sheds light on associated ADEs, highlighting the importance of monitoring and informed decision-making.

Published: August 2023

Abstract
Background
A prosthetic leg is not a counterfeit appendage but rather than an artificial limb, that is connected where the leg has been excised due to an injury accident, sickness, or other medical reasons. Presently, prosthetics offer an option for people with an amputee to enable them living in a conventional life. Prosthetic legs can vary in complexity and design depending on the level of amputation, needs and goals of the individual as well as their lifestyle and activities.
Research Design and Methods:
In this study, we aimed to develop a structural design and analysis of below knee prosthetic leg that can provide adequate support and mobility to amputees. The 3D experience software Solidworks is used for structural design of the prosthetic and Finite Element Analysis (FEA) is employed to simulate the performance under various loading conditions.
Results
The analytical result demonstrates the functionality of the prosthetic leg and highlights the safety measure of the body structure that meets high standards of performance, durability, and regulatory compliance.
Limitations:
The design and drafting of the model is done only in silico (computer) methods. Further, static analysis of the prototype model is evaluated using Solidworks simulation (version 2016). Actual analysis (real-life analysis) of the prototype is not structured in this paper.
Conclusion
This study represents a modern generation and approvingly operational pneumatic prosthetic leg. Technological evolution has led to the development of more advanced prosthetics to improve the human mankind who have amputees.

Published: August 2023

Commitment of leading Russian and foreign companies to digital business models confirms that fintech is a driver for the digital economy and socio-economic development. Under growing exogenous uncertainties and sanctions to the financial sector, assessing the current trends and prospects in fintech is of particular interest. The article uses statistical and analytical methods to evaluate the empirical data, gathered by the Federal State Statistics Service, the Bank of Russia, and different experts. Until 2022, the fintech market in Russia was the leader in attracting venture capital funding. The authors identified three waves of market shocks in the current development of the Russian fintech market. Fintech companies overcome each subsequent shock much faster than the previous one, which indicates a high inherent adaptability. The article highlights trends in business, fintech, information and communication technologies, typical for the modern Russian economy. Despite the high volatility of the current period, in terms of the fintech solutions development Russia remains competitive. The development of independent technologies and services by the IT and financial markets, preferentially regulated by the Bank of Russia, seems feasible and viable.
Spatio-temporal variation of annual precipitation in China and its response to ENSO
Authors: Chen Yang , Ma Long , Liu Tingxi , Huang Xing , Sun Guohua 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
The results showed that the precipitation in the study area was mainly in a downward trend before the mid-1930s, and then turned upward. In the 1950s, the precipitation generally showed a distribution of rising in the west and falling in the east, and this trend continued until the early 21st century. By 2007, except for the central part of the Continental Basin, the overall trend was mainly upward. In this study, 65 El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) events were identified, including 24 El Niño events and 41 La Niña events. The precipitation was generally less when ENSO occurred. However, there were differences in the type and intensity of the event. For example, El Niño had a greater impact on precipitation than La Niña did, and extremely strong or strong El Niño/La Niña events had a more significant impact than moderate, weak, or extremely weak ones. The correlation between precipitation and El Niño or La Niña events had some similarities and differences. For example, precipitation was mainly negatively correlated with El Niño and La Niña at the same time, and both correlations were proportional to intensity, but the correlation between precipitation and El Niño was significantly stronger than that of La Niña.

Abstract

Rapid industrialization has become one of the root causes of environmental problems, particularly heavy metal pollution. Numerous methods, including chemical precipitation and ion exchange, have been used to remove heavy metal ions from aqueous solutions, but all of them have drawbacks, such as low metal removal effectiveness, significant reagent loss, excessive energy use, and the need for further development of the current techniques. Membrane-based technologies such as reverse osmosis (RO) and nanofiltration (NF) are gaining popularity in the removal of heavy metals due to their high rejection and low formation of secondary pollutants. Among the methods under consideration, the membrane-based approach holds the most promise for wastewater treatment with a focus on heavy metal ion removal due to its ease of manufacture, superior qualities, and increased separation effectiveness. Since membrane performance is typically hampered by fouling, low permeability, and significant contaminant permeation when compared to strict selectivity criteria, the development of novel membrane materials has emerged as an important area of research for academia, industry, and national laboratories. We have therefore reviewed previous initiatives and technological developments in order to achieve more effective heavy metal removal and recovery from industrial wastewater.
Sistemas de recomendação em bibliotecas
Authors: De Moura Vieira Bruna Beatriz , Passos Ketry Gorete Farias dos , Salm Vanessa Marie 
Published: August 2023

Sistemas de recomendação são ferramentas de software que têm como objetivo gerar uma estimativa da utilidade que um item pode ter para um usuário, bem como analisar interações entre usuários e itens. São divididos entre sistemas de recomendação clássicos, que utilizam apenas um tipo de técnica de filtragem, e híbridos, que utilizam dois ou mais tipos de técnicas de filtragem aliados a uma técnica de recomendação híbrida. O objetivo deste artigo consiste em apresentar os sistemas de recomendação em bibliotecas e propor um modelo de recomendação híbrido teórico, adaptado ao contexto das bibliotecas. Para isto, foi utilizada uma abordagem qualitativa, exploratória, descritiva e bibliográfica para explorar o tema de sistemas de recomendação e sua aplicação em bibliotecas como uma resposta às crescentes demandas informacionais dos usuários. Foi percebido que a maioria das iniciativas de sistemas de recomendação em uso atualmente são do modelo clássico, e utilizam apenas dois tipos de filtragem – por conteúdo e colaborativa. Portanto, é necessário que pesquisas futuras tentem entender o motivo por trás da adoção dos sistemas de recomendação do modelo clássico em detrimento dos sistemas de recomendação híbridos, e que é necessário um maior enfoque no desenvolvimento e aplicação de sistemas de recomendação híbridos em bibliotecas, dado às suas vantagens em relação ao modelo clássico. Também é sugerida a realização de estudos sobre as outras diferentes técnicas de filtragem, pelo fato de possuírem o potencial de gerar novos tipos de estratégias de recomendação em bibliotecas.

Published: August 2023

Background:
Pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PAAD) is a frequent malignant tumor with a
high mortality rate. Searching for novel biomarkers that can influence its prognosis may help patients.
It has been shown that tropomodulin-3 (TMOD3) may influence tumor progression, but its
role in pancreatic cancer is not clear. We aimed to explore the expression and prognostic value of
TMOD3 in PAAD.

Methods:
We used bioinformatics analysis to analyze the relationship between TMOD3 expression
and clinicopathological features and prognosis and verified it with clinical data from tissue microarray.
We also conducted in vitro cell experiments to explore the effects of TMOD3 on the function
of PAAD cells.

Results:
TMOD3 expression was found to be significantly higher in PAAD tissues than in matched
paracancerous tissues (P < 0.05). Meanwhile, high TMOD3 expression was associated with significantly
poorer overall survival (P < 0.05). Analysis of relevant clinicopathological characteristics
data obtained from TCGA showed that high TMOD3 expression correlated with age, TNM stage,
N stage, and M stage (P < 0.05). Analysis of correlation data obtained from tissue microarrays
showed that high TMOD3 expression was associated with lymph node invasion, nerve invasion,
macrovascular invasion, and TNM stage (P < 0.05). In addition, siRNA knockdown of TMOD3
significantly reduced the migration and invasion of PAAD cells.

Conclusion:
Our study shows that TMOD3 may be associated with the progression of PAAD
cells, and that it is an independent risk factor for poor pathological features and prognosis of
PAAD. It may be helpful as a prognostic indicator of clinical outcomes in PAAD patients.
