Maternal Diabetes, Respiratory and other Disorders in Offspring: Shortterm
and Long-term Outcomes
Authors: Chulkov Vasilii S. , Minina Elena E. , Medvedeva Larisa V. 
Published: March 2023

Abstract:
Maternal diabetes during pregnancy, regardless of the type, is a risk factor for macro-somia or excessive fetal growth. Macrosomia and subsequent complications are the main short-term consequences of intrauterine exposure to gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). Additionally, they have an increased risk of neonatal complications, such as congenital heart defects (CHDs) and cen-tral nervous system (CNS) congenital birth defects, hyperbilirubinemia, hypoglycemia, hypocalce-mia, and polycythemia with their subsequent complications. More and more indisputable data are evidencing long-term consequences on offspring health in the case of diabetes. While most of this research has focused on metabolic and cardiovascular consequences, there is a growing body of ev-idence suggesting an impact of maternal diabetes on respiratory health, which is influenced by in-trinsic and extrinsic environmental factors during fetal and postnatal development, with important implications for respiratory disorders in later life.

Published: March 2023

Abstract:
The current world is plagued by unpredictability as a result of various COVID-19 variants.
The current variants of concern (VOCs) are B.1.1.7 (Alpha), B.1.351 (Beta), P.1 (Gamma) and
B.1.617/B.1.617.2(Delta). WHO classified two variants, delta (B.1.617.2) and omicron (B.1.1.529), as
having highly mutable strikes. The WHO predicted that it would be more dangerous than previous
variants due to its mutatable capability. The Omicron variant of coronavirus has caused widespread
disruption, with countries struggling to manage the massive number of infections. Due to its unique
properties, such as protein structure, symptoms, transmission, and epidemiology, this review aims to
compare omicron to other variants. Furthermore, we have highlighted vaccines that have been used to
combat this pandemic.

Authors: Dev Suresh Kumar , Choudhury Pratim Kumar , Srivastava Rajnish , Rathore Vaibhav 
Published: March 2023

Aim:
The aim of the present investigation was to develop a polyherbal nano gel (PHNG)
formulation capable of acting as a potential vehicle to deliver polyherbal phytoconstituents topically.

Background:
Individual herbs, according to Ayurveda, are insufficient to deliver the intended medicinal
effect. It will have a better therapeutic impact with less toxicity when it is optimized as multiple
herb combinations in a certain ratio.

Objective:
The objective of this study was to create a polyherbal gel for the delivery of medication
from methanolic extracts of Plumbago zeylanica Linn, Datura stramonium Linn, and Argemone mexicana
Linn.

Material and Methods:
The plant parts chosen for this work include methanolic extracts of Plumbago
zeylanica stem, Datura stramonium leaves, Argimone Mexicana areal part. The polyherbal-based
nanogel was prepared by low energy self-emulsification technique, and was evaluated for pH, viscosity
and spreadability, stability, and drug release. The drug release profile of stable nanogel formulations
was studied at various time intervals. Furthermore, the prepared nanogel was characterized by
zeta-potential, zeta-sizer, and transmission electron microscopy (TEM).

Result:
Optimized PHNG had particle size and zeta potential of 11.25nm and -25.73 mV respectively.
TEM analysis of optimized formulation revealed the spherical shape of particles. Furthermore, the
optimized formulation was found to possess higher stability with a maximum extended cumulative release
of up to 240 minutes.

Conclusion:
We have formulated a polyherbal nanogel that can be validated by physiochemical and
surface characterization.
Upper Airway Assessment in Cone-Beam Computed Tomography for Screening of Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome: Development of an Evaluation Protocol in Dentistry
Authors: Fonseca Catarina , Cavadas Francisca , Fonseca Patrícia 
Published: March 2023

Background
The upper airways are formed by the nasal cavities, pharynx, and larynx. There are several radiographic methods that allow evaluation of the craniofacial structure. Upper airway analysis in cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) may be useful in diagnosing some pathologies such as obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS). OSAS prevalence has increased significantly in recent decades, justified by increased obesity and average life expectancy. It can be associated with cardiovascular, respiratory, and neurovascular diseases, diabetes, and hypertension. In some individuals with OSAS, the upper airway is compromised and narrowed. Nowadays, CBCT is widely used in dentistry by clinicians. Its use for upper airway assessment would be an advantage for screening some abnormalities related to an increased risk of pathologies such as OSAS. CBCT helps to calculate the total volume of the airways and their area in different anatomical planes (sagittal, coronal, and transverse). It also helps identify regions with the highest anteroposterior and laterolateral constriction of the airways. Despite its undoubted advantages, airway assessment is not routinely performed in dentistry. There is no protocol that allows comparisons between studies, which makes it difficult to obtain scientific evidence in this area. Hence, there is an urgent need to standardize the protocol for upper airway measurement to help clinicians identify at-risk patients.

Objective
Our main aim is to develop a standard protocol for upper airway evaluation in CBCT for OSAS screening in dentistry.

Methods
To measure and evaluate the upper airways, data are obtained using Planmeca ProMax 3D (Planmeca). Patient orientation is performed in accordance with the manufacturer's indications at the time of image acquisition. The exposure corresponds to 90 kV, 8 mA, and 13,713 seconds. The software used for upper airway analysis is Romexis (version 5.1.O.R; Planmeca). The images are exhibited in accordance with the field of view of 20.1×17.4 cm, size of 502×502×436 mm, and voxel size of 400 μm.

Results
The protocol described and illustrated here allows for automatic calculation of the total volume of the pharyngeal airspace, its area of greatest narrowing, its location, and the smallest anteroposterior and laterolateral dimensions of the pharynx. These measurements are carried out automatically by the imaging software whose reliability is proven by the existing literature. Thus, we could reduce the possible bias of manual measurement, aiming at data collection.

Conclusions
The use of this protocol by dentists will allow for standardization of the measurements and constitutes a valuable screening tool for OSAS. This protocol may also be suitable for other imaging software. The anatomical points used as reference are most relevant for standardizing studies in this field.

Critical Analysis and Cross-Comparison Between English and Chinese Websites Providing Online Medical Information for Patients With Adenoid Hypertrophy: Cross-sectional Study
Authors: Jiang Zheng , Yang Xin , Chen Fei , Liu Jun 
Published: March 2023

Background
In the information era, patients can easily be misled by inaccurate internet content, thus making not well-informed decisions about medical issues. Adenoid hypertrophy, one of the most common causes of chronic upper airway obstruction in children and adolescents, may lead to serious complications, including sleep apnea and craniofacial change. There have been no critical studies about the quality of websites on adenoid hypertrophy, posing a challenge for users without a medical background to determine which website offers more reliable information. Moreover, the blockage of access to internet search tools such as Google, Yahoo, and others has created an isolated internet environment for the enormous user population in mainland China. Differences in internet legislation, the commercial environment, and culture are also likely to result in varied quality of online health information inside and outside mainland China. To date, no study has compared the quality difference between mainland Chinese and English websites.

Objective
The aims of this study were to (1) analyze the quality of websites about adenoid hypertrophy accessible by patients, (2) investigate the quality differences between Chinese and English websites, (3) determine which type of website (eg, government-sponsored, health care provider) is more reliable in terms of medical information, and (4) determine whether the blockage of foreign websites is hindering users’ accessibility to better-quality websites in mainland China.

Methods
The first 100 websites (excluding advertisements) displayed on the top three search engines worldwide and in mainland China for the key search term “enlarged adenoids” were collected as the data source. The websites were evaluated based on accessibility, accountability, interactivity, structure, and content quality (accuracy, content coverage, and objectivity). Cohen κ was calculated, and one-way ANOVA and the Kruskal-Wallis test were performed to compare the results between groups and subgroups.

Results
The mean score for the content quality of English websites was significantly higher than that of Chinese websites (6.16 vs 4.94, P=.03 for Google, Bing, and Yahoo; 6.16 vs 4.16, P<.001 for Baidu, Sougou, and Bing China). Chinese users who are not influenced by the Internet Censorship System are more likely to access higher-quality online medical information (4.94 vs 4.16, P=.02). In within-group Student-Newman-Keuls q posthoc analysis, professional organization and government-sponsored websites were generally of better quality than other websites for both Chinese and English websites (P<.05).

Conclusions
Generally, the English websites on adenoid hypertrophy are of better quality than Chinese websites; thus, Chinese users residing outside of the Chinese mainland are less influenced by inaccurate online medical information.
Edges of the financial imagination
Authors: Samman Amin , Konings Martijn 
Published: March 2023

Social theory and political economy have been in dialogue for long enough now that it is no longer eccentric to speak of a ‘financial imagination’: the subject's encounter with the world of money and debt is traversed by hopes and dreams. Since this has become a commonplace, two perspectives on the financial imagination have come to dominate the scholarly field.One relates it primarily to the concepts and rhetoric of economic thought, found in various traditions of political economy, economics, and finance theory. This version of the financial imagination works from the outside-in, structuring the mechanisms and movements of the financial world from the perspective of some point outside of finance. The theoretical imagination of finance has been amply explored from a range of perspectives. There are histories of financial economists, conceptual histories of finance, genealogies of financial institutions, and so on (Mehrling, 2005; Toporowski, 2005; de Goede, 2005).

Published: March 2023

Problems have brought many adolescents in the prison. Their cohorts pass the day with freedom, while adolescents prisoners must spend months or years without freedom and other developmental tasks at their ages. This may cause many mental health issues on them. This study explored the effects of physical activity using group-based Games on sleep quality of adolescent prisoners. Participants of this study were 24 male adolescent prisoners (age between 14-18 years old). These participants showed many behavioral and emotional problems before entering and during their time in prison, such as: family problem, drug abuse, problems with peers and officers. Participants had three sessions of game activities in one week. This experimental study measured sleep quality with adapted Sleep Quality Scale (Shahid, Wilkinson, Marcu & Shapiro (eds), 2012) which comprises 25-items (Cronbach α = .916) after statistical adaptation processes. It was conducted using pretest-posttest design. This study suggested that group-based games can increase sleep quality, paired samples t-test value (t = -5.527; p < .001). Posttest data (M = 37.50; SD = 7. 84) higher than pretest data (M = 28.83; SD = 7.76). It can be inferred that many other conditions affecting can be intervened through these physical activities. This study was conducted to small number of participants and shorter time. More participants and longer time for intervention need to for better results for generalization.

Authors: Siminiceanu Andreea-Elena 
Published: March 2023

Abstract
The pandemic affected all branches of the country’s economy, all categories of services, but also performance sports. With it, competitions appeared postponed without a precise date or even totally canceled. In performance sports, a major role was played by the uncertainty of the biggest competition in an athlete’s life, the Tokyo competition.
It was a great challenge for the coach to organize his training periods, so as to bring the athletes in the best shape, but also for the doctors and the medical staff to work on an adequate recovery, to support the physical effort through the most well-rated supplements, always adapting to changes and not least for athletes to resist physically and mentally and to find the motivation to continue the routine to achieve their goal, that of reaching Tokyo.

Published: March 2023

Abstract
Chronic alcohol consumption, also called alcoholism, is a chronic disease characterized by compulsive alcohol consumption, loss of control over alcohol consumption and a negative emotional state in the absence/lack of consumption. Statistics show that the incidence of alcohol consumption in the adult population has been increasing during the isolation due to the pandemic. It is fre-quently associated with the consumption of other substances, in which case mortality is higher than in the case of single alcohol consumption. The patterns of alcohol consumption are varied, being related to a series of demographic, social, psychological and behavioral variables. The most worrying aspect of alcohol consumption is represented by the increase in the frequency of this type of addiction among teenagers and young people. It should also be mentioned that there is an increase in the incidence in females and there are new variables related to the context of consumption: increased boredom, alcohol consumption for the purpose of relaxation and alcohol consumption as an activity in the absence of an entourage. During the pandemic, there was also the myth that alcohol consumption would be the basis for reducing the risk of contamination with the SARS CoV 2 virus, an aspect disproved by specialist studies. The increased consumption of alcohol during the pandemic could be correlated with anxiety and depression determined by the fear of illness and depression due to the loss of the job, the lack of social relations or online education, being unanimously accepted that alcohol has an anxiolytic role. Regarding ethanolic withdrawal (EW) symptoms, studies show that approximately 50% of patients with chronic alcohol consumption will develop withdrawal symptoms when they reduce the quantity of alcohol or stop drinking alcohol.
Modelling of Impulse Functions of Ultrasonic Sensors When Tilt Angle of Reflecting Surface is Changed
Authors: Madola Vladimír , Cviklovič Vladimír , Rokosz Krzysztof 
Published: March 2023

Abstract
Increasing the accuracy of position measurement is an intensively addressed issue in engineering practice. Indirect methods provide satisfactory distance information. For more accurate identification of surface geometry or tilt, systems based on image processing are frequently employed, however, these are more expensive in contrast to devices operating on the basis of acoustic principle. This paper deals with the modelling of the impulse functions of ultrasonic sensors under known geometrical conditions of their distribution. The reflecting surface is a metallic surface. Based on the results, a statistically significant non-linear correlation between the complex integral of the impulse function and the front time of the transient characteristic is shown. The change from the parallel to the perpendicular case of the longitudinal axis of ultrasonic transducer distribution due to the change in the tilt angle of reflected surface is also included in the study. The interval of change in the tilt angle of reflecting surface was from 0° to 30°.

Published: March 2023

Abstract
Fodder beet root crops in the autumn-winter period are one of the main types of juicy fodder for dairy livestock. Mechanized harvesting of fodder beet roots is a rather complex and energy-consuming technological process. The criteria that meet the requirements for the operation of root-harvesting machines are first of all the quality of digging and separation of impurities from root crops. The purpose of the work was improvement of the process of mechanized digging of fodder beets by an adapted digging-transport combined working body based on analytical and empirical research of the second feeds of constituent components of the dug pile of root crops. Based on the results of experimental studies, empirical regression equations were developed, which functionally describe the change in the second supply of the excavated components of the pile of root crops, depending on the speed of the root-harvesting machine and the rotation frequency of the drive shaft of the adapted digging-transport combined working body. Based on the comparative analysis, it was found that the discrepancy between the theoretical and approximated experimental values of second feeds is 5–10%. The results of the study are a further step in improving the method of optimizing the parameters of working bodies for digging and cleaning root crops from impurities.
Increasing the Managerial Performance of Romanian Museums with the Help of Stakeholders
Authors: Ilie Cosmin 
Published: March 2023

Abstract
Museum professionals worldwide make considerable efforts to maintain the integrity of the cultural institutions they manage, as organizations that collect, research, conserve, and exhibit, as well as in their educational and social purpose, in a concerted effort to make museums more performing, more popular, more attractive and more competitive. In this context, many questions arise about how a performing museum looks like in the current social, political, and cultural contexts, how the performance of a museum can be evaluated, and, especially, how the managerial performance of museums can be increased. At the center of these concerns, the issue of stakeholders, the partnerships with them, the strategies for their optimal approach, as well as the impact of such initiatives on increasing the managerial performance of museums, occupy an essential role. One of the objectives of this research is to emphasize the need to use new strategies, methods, and tools in an attempt to make museum institutions perform better from a managerial point of view. To verify the perception of such initiatives, two practical applications were carried out: quantitative research, which analyzes the perception of internal stakeholders (museum staff) on the involvement of external stakeholders in the process of improving museum services, and qualitative research, which sought to capture the perception of museum managers in Romania regarding partnerships with stakeholders and their role in increasing the managerial performance of the institution. The results show that museums are becoming increasingly aware of the importance of stakeholders with an active interest in museum practices and policies and optimized solutions regarding the institutional and organizational transformation of museum institutions in Romania are taking shape, to rebuild the way museums interact with relevant stakeholders.
