The Role of Russian and Chinese Urban Names in the Communicative Space of a Modern Metropolis
Authors: Prosvirkina Irina , Lykova Margarita 
Published: September 2023

The ways of nominating modern spatial realities reflect linguistic conscious-ness and create a new linguistic reality, therefore, the analysis of the names of objects that are part of the communicative space becomes an urgent problem. The article analyzes the ways of explication of toponyms, in particular antonyms, in the Russian and Chinese communicative space, the relationship between the naming of the object and the cultural code.
The process of nomination of modern spatial realities reflects the linguistic consciousness and creates a new linguistic reality, so the analysis of locus names (toponyms) is an urgent problem. The article studies the ways of explication of space, the interrelation of language and cultural codes. The aim of the study was to describe the ways of explication of lexical units (paronyms) in Russian and Chinese, to determine their functionality in the communicative space of the metropolis.
To achieve the goal, the following methods were used: continuous sampling method, comparative etymological and linguoculturological analyses.
As a result of the analysis of the names of spatial objects, in particular the urban names of the Moscow and Beijing metro, their classification based on etymology, the authors come to the conclusion that lexical units that name spatial objects perform not only informational, cultural, communicative, but also culturally preserving functions, that is, they are a way of preserving cultural patterns that affect the atmosphere of the communicative space of the metropolis.
The scientific novelty of the study lies in the fact that for the first time a comparative description of the urban names of the Moscow and Beijing metro is given, some ways of verbalization of urban objects are revealed and their role in the communicative space is determined.
The practical significance lies in the fact that the analysis of the semantics of spatial lexical units helps to understand the trends in the process of nominating loci, their influence on the formation of a special communicative space, and also the fact that, giving a name to an urban object, we fill it with special information that is passed on to future generations.
Interim Rationalizable Implementation of Functions
Authors: Kunimoto Takashi , Saran Rene , Serrano Roberto 
Published: September 2023

This paper investigates rationalizable implementation of social choice functions (SCFs) in incomplete information environments. We identify weak interim rationalizable monotonicity (weak IRM) as a novel condition and show it to be a necessary and almost sufficient condition for rationalizable implementation. We show by means of robust examples that interim rationalizable monotonicity (IRM), found in the literature, is strictly stronger than weak IRM and that IRM is not necessary for rationalizable implementation, as had been previously claimed. These examples also demonstrate that Bayesian monotonicity, the key condition for full Bayesian implementation, is not necessary for rationalizable implementation. That is, rationalizable implementation can be more permissive than Bayesian implementation. We revisit well-studied classes of economic environments and show that the SCFs considered there are interim rationalizable implementable. A comprehensive discussion of related issues, including well-behaved mechanisms, mechanisms satisfying the best response property, double implementation, and responsive SCFs is also provided.

Authors: Elsherif Nusaybah , Carey Barbara , Sandison Ann 
Published: September 2023

Syphilis is a primarily sexually transmitted chronic infection caused by the spirochete, Treponema pallidum. There has been a dramatic increase in cases of syphilis in the Western world, with cases tripling in England between 2010 and 2019. Syphilis can present in a dental setting and dentists should enquire about sexual history if suspicious of syphilis to ensure early diagnosis and treatment. We present five cases seen with variable presentations of oral syphilis between 2016 and 2021 in a dental hospital. CPD/Clinical Relevance: Increased awareness of syphilis among the dental team is essential to ensure early referral, diagnosis and treatment.

Effective Periods in the Formation of the Musical Identity of Greek Communities

Abstract
Anatolia, which has hosted many civilizations, still hosts traditions, cultures, and music, even though centuries have passed. It is an inevitable result that cultures that have lived in the same region for many years have left their traces and that other societies have followed and adopted those traces. The clarity of the results encountered when it comes to the question of how interactions at common points and their origins are adopted is not fully clarified. Important points in history need to be known to better understand how cross-cultural interaction connects to essential points, how it becomes a critical part of their lives, and how it influences traditions and music. In this study, the Anatolian influence on the formation of Greek music will be examined using periodic approaches. One of the qualitative research methods is the survey model study. Document analysis methods through source study were used. As a research type, it is descriptive historical research. By the set objective, "Music of Ancient Greek and Hellenistic Era", "Music of Roman Era", "Music of Byzantine and Christian Era", "Music of Ottoman Empire" and " Music of Modern Greek Era" were set as sub-objectives.

Predicting timely transfer to adult care in a cohort of autistic adolescents and young adults
Authors: Hart Laura C. , Sirrianni Joseph , Rust Steve , Hanks Christopher 
Published: September 2023

Background
The transition from pediatric to adult care is a challenge for autistic adolescents and young adults. Data on patient features associated with timely transfer between pediatric and adult health care are limited. Our objective was to describe the patient features associated with timely transfer to adult health care (defined as </ = 6 months between first adult visit and most recent prior pediatric visit) among a cohort of autistic adolescents and young adults.

Methods and findings
We analyzed pediatric and adult electronic medical record data from a cohort of adolescents and young adults who established with a primary-care based program for autistic adolescents and young adults after they transferred from a single children’s hospital. Using forward feature selection and logistic regression, we selected an optimal subset of patient characteristics or features via five repetitions of five-fold cross validation over varying time-frames prior to the first adult visit to identify patient features associated with a timely transfer to adult health care. A total of 224 autistic adolescents and young adults were included. Across all models, total outpatient encounters and total encounters, which are very correlated (r = 0.997), were selected as the first variable in 91.2% the models. These variables predicted timely transfer well, with an area under the receiver-operator curve ranging from 0.81 to 0.88.

Conclusions
Total outpatient encounters and total encounters in pediatric care showed good ability to predict timely transfer to adult health care in a population of autistic adolescents and young adults.

Published: September 2023

Background
The number of malaria cases worldwide has increased, with over 241 million cases and 69,000 more deaths in 2020 compared to 2019. Burkina Faso recorded over 11 million malaria cases in 2020, resulting in nearly 4,000 deaths. The overall incidence of malaria in Burkina Faso has been steadily increasing since 2016. This study investigates the spatiotemporal pattern and environmental and meteorological determinants of malaria incidence in Burkina Faso.

Methods
We described the temporal dynamics of malaria cases by detecting the transmission periods and the evolution trend from 2013 to 2018. We detected hotspots using spatial scan statistics. We assessed different environmental zones through a hierarchical clustering and analyzed the environmental and climatic data to identify their association with malaria incidence at the national and at the district’s levels through generalized additive models. We also assessed the time lag between malaria peaks onset and the rainfall at the district level. The environmental and climatic data were synthetized into indicators.

Results
The study found that malaria incidence had a seasonal pattern, with high transmission occurring during the rainy seasons. We also found an increasing trend in the incidence. The highest-risk districts for malaria incidence were identified, with a significant expansion of high-risk areas from less than half of the districts in 2013–2014 to nearly 90% of the districts in 2017–2018. We identified three classes of health districts based on environmental and climatic data, with the northern, south-western, and western districts forming separate clusters. Additionally, we found that the time lag between malaria peaks onset and the rainfall at the district level varied from 7 weeks to 17 weeks with a median at 10 weeks. Environmental and climatic factors have been found to be associated with the number of cases both at global and districts levels.

Conclusion
The study provides important insights into the environmental and spatiotemporal patterns of malaria in Burkina Faso by assessing the spatio temporal dynamics of Malaria cases but also linking those dynamics to the environmental and climatic factors. The findings highlight the importance of targeted control strategies to reduce the burden of malaria in high-risk areas as we found that Malaria epidemiology is complex and linked to many factors that make some regions more at risk than others.
Changes in immunization coverage and contributing factors among children aged 12–23 months from 2000 to 2019, Ethiopia: Multivariate decomposition analysis
Authors: Asresie Melash Belachew , Dagnew Gizachew Worku , Bekele Yibeltal Alemu 
Published: September 2023

Background
Immunization has been promoted as a global strategy aimed at improving child survival. The World Health Organization strives to make immunization services available to everyone, everywhere to save over 50 million lives by 2030. Monitoring the change and identifying the factors contributing to the change in immunization coverage over time and across the nations is imperative for continuing global success in increasing immunization coverage. In this study, we examined the changes and factors that contributed to the change in full immunization coverage over time in Ethiopia (2000 to 2019).

Methods
We analyzed data on children aged 12–23 months, extracted from the 2000 and 2019 Ethiopian Demographic and Health Survey (EDHS) datasets. A total of 3,072 weighted samples (2,076 in 2000 and 966 in 2019) were included in the analysis. A multivariate decomposition analysis technique was used to determine change and identify factors that contributed to the change over time. Statistical significance was defined at a 95% confidence interval with a p-value of less than 0.05.

Results
There was a 29.56% (95% CI: 24.84, 34.28) change in full immunization coverage between the two surveys. It increased from 14.62% (95% CI: 12.43, 17.11) in 2000 to 44.18% (95% CI: 37.19, 51.41) in 2019. The decomposition analysis showed that about 75% of explained change was attributed to the differences in the composition of explanatory variables (the endowment effect). Particularly, women aged 35–49 years (-2.11%), those who attended four or more antenatal care visits (17.06%), individual who had postnatal care visits (16.90%), households with two or more under-five children (2.50%), and those with a history of child mortality (17.80%) were significantly attributed to the change. The rest, 25% of the explained change was attributed to the difference in the effects of explanatory variables (coefficient). The change in the coefficient for women who had experienced child death (-20.40%) was statistically significant to the change in full immunization coverage over time.

Conclusion
The finding of this study revealed that there was a statistically significant change in full immunization coverage over time. The majority of the change was attributed to the differences in the composition of explanatory variables such as antenatal care and postnatal care visits, age of the mother, and number of living children in the household. Therefore, strengthening maternal health services utilization may enhance immunization coverage in Ethiopia. Furthermore, the difference in coefficient of mothers with a history of child death had a substantial counteracting effect on the change, emphasizing the importance of raising awareness and delivering vaccine education to them and the larger community.

Authors: Devadatha Bandarupalli , Pallam Revanth Babu , Vemuri Sarma Venkateswara 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
Although many novel marine fungi have been described from Indian mangroves, a significant number of mangroves in India have not been thoroughly investigated for marine fungi. This study highlights the diversity of marine fungi inhabiting dead and decaying wood of Avicennia marina and Rhizophora mucronata, collected from Thengaithittu and Veerampattinam mangroves of Pondicherry, Puducherry State, India. Through microscopic examination, a total of 52 species (in 48 genera) of marine fungi were identified, with 50 species (in 46 genera) belonging to the Ascomycota and 2 species (in 2 genera) belonging to the Basidiomycota. Previous studies recorded 69 marine fungi from Ariyankuppam and Mahé mangroves of Puducherry, and this study contributes 22 new records of marine fungi to this region. In this study, the phylogenetic placement of Rhizophila marina was determined, and this fungus was found to belong to the family Diatrypaceae.

Authors: Xue Yang , bin Ismail Abdul Jabbar , Lansing Meryl Grace , bin Mohd Hayati Mohd Firdaus 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
A green and low-cost approach was run to synthesize zinc nanoparticles (NPs) using rosemary extract. The NPs were identified by various methods, i.e., ultraviolet-visible and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, FE-scanning electron microscope imaging, X-ray diffraction, and energy-dispersive X-ray analysis. The radical scavenging activity and MTT assays were used to evaluate the biological activity of ZnO-NPs@Rosemary. The results revealed a spherical shape for ZnO-NPs@Rosemary with a crystal size of 30.74 nm. ZnO-NPs@Rosemary could scavenge the free radicals of DPPH with an IC50 of 87.62 ± 0.47 μg/mL. An MTT assay was run to investigate the anti-cancer activity of ZnO-NPs@Rosemary against PC-14, LC-2/ad, and HLC-1 as the selected lung cancer cell lines. The highest sensitivity of NPs was found against PC-14 with IC50 of 178.84 ± 2.13. A dose-dependent activity was observed for ZnO-NPs@Rosemary against the chosen cell lines. The outcomes of the present study revealed an acceptable anti-lung cancer activity of ZnO-NPs@Rosemary.

Abstract

Objectives
This study aimed to assess the efficacy of the 3-day food records in monitoring and enhancing dietary habits among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Methods
A total of 49 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus were enrolled, with 38 completing the study. Participants were instructed to record their food intake over 3 consecutive days every 2 months. Key anthropometric and glycometabolic parameters, including body weight, abdominal circumference, glycated hemoglobin, and fasting blood sugar, were evaluated at baseline and after 6 months.

Results
The introduction of the 3-day food records led to significant improvements in body weight, abdominal circumference, glycated hemoglobin, and fasting blood sugar. Additionally, there was a notable increase in the percentage of patients adhering to the LARN nutritional recommendations, especially concerning the intake of carbohydrates, simple sugars, proteins, fiber, and water. However, adherence to lipid and saturated fat recommendations remained a challenge.

Conclusions
The 3-day food records emerges as a valuable tool in the dietary management of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. By facilitating real-time monitoring and feedback, it holds promise in enhancing patient adherence to nutritional guidelines, thereby improving key health outcomes.
Antibiotics therapy combined with probiotics administered intravaginally for the treatment of bacterial vaginosis: A systematic review and meta-analysis
Authors: Ma Siyu , Wang Wei , Su Yanli , Sun Wei , Ma Liyan 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
The objective was to examine the pooled effects of antibiotic–probiotic combinations by examining the cure rate and recurrence rate for bacterial vaginosis (BV). A systematic literature search was conducted from electronic databases. All parallel randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that focused on the effects of antibiotics combined with intravaginal probiotics were included. Cure rate and recurrence rate were the primary and secondary outcomes to be analyzed. Meta-analysis was conducted following the Cochrane handbook for Systematic Reviews of Interventions. As a result, of 923 studies identified, 11 articles involving 1,493 BV patients met the inclusion criteria and nine were available for meta-analysis. A meta-analysis of two studies evaluated the recurrence rate 12–16 weeks after treatment. Results showed a statistically significant difference favoring the antibiotics plus probiotics group vs the antibiotics plus placebo group (relative risk 0.62, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.45–0.85). The narrative review in one study indicated that the cure rate was higher in the antibiotics plus probiotics group, giving a significant HR ratio of 0.73 (95% CI 0.54–0.98) (p = 0.042). In conclusion, vaginal application of Lactobacillus in combination with antibiotics for the treatment of BV could be a promising method for both reducing the recurrence rate and relieving symptoms of BV.
Silk Road and Trade of the Mongol Empire
Authors: Nyamdaa Otgonsaikhan 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
Our ancestors once said, “A person who does not know his history is like a monkey lost in the forest.” In the framework of this work, it was intended to study the historical development of the Silk Road and the characteristics of trade during the Mongol Empire in comparison with the principles of modern trade. According to the findings, ancient nations traded with each other to satisfy their unlimited needs with limited resources and laid the foundations of the Silk Road. On the other hand, the country that dominated the road became the most powerful country at that time, fighting with each other through geopolitical policies to maintain its influence in the area along this road. It can be said that the idea of logistics supply chain and the concept of free trade was created during the time of the powerful Mongolian empire, one of the strongest empire in the history of Mongolia as well as the world.

Published: September 2023

Objective: to identify the reasons that led families of children to vaccine hesitancy during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: qualitative study with semi-structured interviews carried out with 20 children's relatives, all of which were mothers of hospitalized children. Data was submitted to lexicographical analysis in the software Interface de R pour les Analyses Multidimensionnelles de Textes et de Questionnaires, using descending hierarchical classification. Results: the fear of leaving one’s house during the pandemic and the lack of vaccine supplies were the reasons found for vaccine hesitancy in the family of children during the COVID-19 pandemic. Conclusion: the reasons for vaccine hesitancy in the families of children found in this study threaten advancements in the struggle against vaccine-preventable diseases. Contributions to the practice: government bodies, managers, and health unit nurses should be co-responsible for efficient measures to implement health education in this public, creating a bond of trust to reduce the risks from the increase in vaccine hesitancy and reduction in vaccine coverage in the country.
