Published: January 2025

Oc Eo (Vietnamese: Óc Eo) is an archaeological site in the Mekong Delta, located in southern Vietnam (Óc Eo commune,Thoại Sơn district, An Giang province). Oc Eo is often mentioned in research about ancient Southeast Asia as a part of the Funan kingdom. Some studies have identified Oc Eo's role as a trade, political, and religious center of Funan, but the position of Oc Eo in ancient international maritime trade network has not been clearly stated. Approach this issue from archaeology perspective, the authors surveyed the sites and studied artifacts found at sites in the Oc Eo area, particularly origin of these artifact. Ancient Chinese bibliographies are also cited to supplement the article. The findings state the favorable conditions for the development of Oc Eo as a port city: the location of a traffic hub of inland canals; a stop on the sea route from east to west; and having sources of local products that can be used as goods to exchange with merchants. The article also proves that Oc Eo city was an important port in the maritime trading system in ancient Southeast Asia during the period from the first to the seventh century CE. which was a transit point connecting between China and Southeast Asia, China, and India, maybe even the Mediterranean.
Periodontitis is a Risk Factor for Cardiovascular Diseases and Cancer. Bicarbonate and Chlorine Dioxide are Promising Treatments
Authors: Doepp Manfred 
Published: January 2025

Holistic dentistry knows that there is a close relationship between abnormal conditions in the mouth and diseases in the rest of the body. This can be via energetic relationships, e.g. the meridians, but also via direct toxic effects. Periodontitis is considered a disease par excellence which is associated with a clearly increased risk of other serious diseases. This has often been proven, but is rarely taken into account. It is shown that there are two simple treatment methods for "everyone", namely the use of bicarbonate and chlorine dioxide in the oral cavity. These can be used to neutralize acids and eliminate pathogenic bacteria in the oral cavity. This is a prophylactic measure against serious illnesses.

Predictors of county-level diabetes-related mortality risks in Florida, USA: a retrospective ecological study
Authors: Deb Nath Nirmalendu , Odoi Agricola 
Published: January 2025

Background
Diabetes is an increasingly important public health problem due to its socioeconomic impact, high morbidity, and mortality. Although there is evidence of increasing diabetes-related deaths over the last ten years, little is known about the population level predictors of diabetes-related mortality risks (DRMR) in Florida. Identifying these predictors is important for guiding control programs geared at reducing the diabetes burden and improving population health. Therefore, the objective of this study was to identify geographic disparities and predictors of county-level DRMR in Florida.

Methods
The 2019 mortality data for the state of Florida were obtained from the Florida Department of Health. The 10th International Classification of Disease codes E10-E14 were used to identify diabetes-related deaths which were then aggregated to the county-level. County-level DRMR were computed and presented as number of deaths per 100,000 persons. Geographic distribution of DRMR were displayed in choropleth maps and ordinary least squares (OLS) regression model was used to identify county-level predictors of DRMR.

Results
There was a total 6,078 diabetes-related deaths in Florida during the study time period. County-level DRMR ranged from 9.6 to 75.6 per 100,000 persons. High mortality risks were observed in the northern, central, and southcentral parts of the state. Relatively higher mortality risks were identified in rural counties compared to their urban counterparts. Significantly high county-level DRMR were observed in counties with high percentages of the population that were: 65 year and older (p < 0.001), current smokers (p = 0.032), and insufficiently physically active (p = 0.036). Additionally, percentage of households without vehicles (p = 0.022) and percentage of population with diabetes (p < 0.001) were significant predictors of DRMR.

Conclusion
Geographic disparities of DRMR exist in Florida, with high risks being observed in northern, central, and southcentral counties of the state. The study identified county-level predictors of these identified DRMR disparities in Florida. The findings are useful in guiding health professionals to better target intervention efforts.

Abstract
Microgravity alters vestibular signaling and reduces body loading, driving sensory reweighting and adaptation. The unloading effects can be modelled using head down tilt bedrest (HDT). Artificial gravity (AG) has been hypothesized to serve as an integrated countermeasure for the physiological declines associated with HDT and spaceflight. Here, we examined the efficacy of 30 minutes of daily AG to counteract brain and behavior changes that arise from 60 days of HDT. One group of participants received 30 minutes of AG daily (AG; n = 16) while in HDT, and another group served as controls, spending 60 days in HDT bedrest with no AG (CTRL; n = 8). We examined how HDT and AG affect vestibular processing by collecting fMRI scans from participants as they received vestibular stimulation. We collected these data prior to, during (2x), and post HDT. We assessed brain activation initially in 10 regions of interest (ROIs) and then conducted an exploratory whole brain analysis. The AG group showed no changes in brain activation during vestibular stimulation in a cerebellar ROI, whereas the CTRL group showed decreased cerebellar activation specific to the HDT phase. Additionally, those that received AG and showed little pre- to post-bed rest changes in left OP2 activation during HDT had better post-HDT balance performance. Exploratory whole brain analyses identified increased pre- to during-HDT activation in the CTRL group in the right precentral gyrus and the right inferior frontal gyrus specific to HDT, where the AG group maintained pre-HDT activation levels. Together, these results indicate that AG could mitigate brain activation changes in vestibular processing in a manner that is associated with better balance performance after HDT.

Summary
Salinity is one of the most imperative global problems that affect crop productivity on a large scale. Salinity impairs plant growth and development by imposing various stresses. Therefore it is vital to decode those stress factors and identify possible solutions to improve agriculture productivity. However, the adaptive mechanisms under saline conditions of glycophytes have not been studied. The present study was undertaken to determine the effects of exogenous abscisic acid (ABA) on salinity tolerance in cotton plants. Some patterns of resistance development were revealed on the seedlings of two cotton cultivars, a salt-tolerant (Gulistan) and a salt-sensitive one (C-4727). Moreover, the antioxidant potentials of these cultivars were compared. The activities of ascorbate peroxidase (APX), super-oxide dismutase (SOD), as well as the quantity of endogenous ABA, malondialdehyde (MDA), and free proline (Pro) were determined in control and post treatment. Our results demonstrate significant differences between the salt- tolerant and sensitive cotton seedlings in response to saline stress, i.e., high levels of Pro and endogenous ABA, but lower MDA concentrations, and higher activity of APX and SOD for the salt-tolerant cultivar, Gulistan, as compared to the salt stress-sensitive cultivar C-4727.

The main objective of the study was the determination of the impact of petty trading on household livelihood among women petty traders in Akwanga Local Government Area (LGA) of Nasarawa state. This was achieved through two specific objectives – to determine the contributions of women petty trading on household income, and its role in attaining household living standard. The study relied on the use of primary data, obtained from a random sample of 343 women owners of petty businesses in Akwanga. Data was collected through a questionnaire survey involving the administration of copies of a structured questionnaire with closed-ended items forming each variable scale. The collected data was used to estimate a structural model using the PLS-SEM statistical technique, to test the pertinent formulated hypothesis and evaluate variable relationships. The result obtained showed that women petty trading businesses had positive and significant effect on household income and living standard. in Akwanga. It was therefore, recommended that due to the importance of petty trading into our growing economy, government and non-governmental organization should encourage more women to go into trading by supporting them with adequate finances for development and women petty traders need to analyzed the kind of business they want to engage onto so as to reduce the magnitude of certain uncertainty in the future.

Published: July 2023

PurposeAlthough neonatal jaundice is a ubiquitous and predominantly benign phenomenon, the risk of neurotoxicity exists in a number of infants with unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia. Plotting bilirubin values on nomograms enables clinicians to employ an anticipatory and individualized approach with the goal of avoiding excessive hyperbilirubinemia and preventing acute bilirubin encephalopathy and its progression to kernicterus. We aimed to construct nomograms for White term infants based on transcutaneous bilirubin (TcB) measurements using a JM-105 device.MethodsTcB measurements were taken in infants at ages ranging from 0 to 96 postnatal hours. We then constructed hour-specific TcB nomograms from forehead and sternum measurements in infants who did not require subsequent phototherapy.ResultsWe included 2,981 TcB measurements taken on the forehead and 2,977 measurements taken on the sternum in 301 White term newborn infants. We assessed the predictive abilities of the nomograms at six postnatal time intervals using receiver operating characteristic curves. The areas under the curves indicated reasonable prediction of hyperbilirubinemia requiring phototherapy, except for the forehead measurement taken within the first 12 h of life. Sensitivity tended to rise as postnatal age increased.ConclusionThe nomograms illustrate dermal bilirubin dynamics in White term neonates during the first 4 days of life. They may be useful tools to predict individualized risk of hyperbilirubinemia requiring treatment, and to plan optimal follow-up of infants at risk of bilirubin neurotoxicity.

Published: July 2023

Growing traffic loads, soaring summer temperatures, and moisture damage will render conventional asphalt binder insufficient to maintain the performance standards of asphalt concrete pavement. Thus, it is necessary to modify the virgin asphalt using various polymers or nanomaterials. The primary goal of this research was to examine the rheological effects of combining multiple-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and styrene butadiene styrene (SBS) in an asphalt binder. In this study, MWCNTs and SBS were mixed with virgin asphalt at concentrations of 1%, 3%, and 5% by weight. The performance grade (PG) and asphalt binder qualities were determined through Superpave system testing. The addition of 1% MWCNTs had no effect on the (PG) of virgin asphalt, whereas the addition of 3% and 5% MWCNTs resulted in increases of 2° and 4°, respectively. When 1% SBS is added to asphalt, the PG rises by an average of 1°; when 3% and 5% SBS are used, the PG rises by an average of 2° and 3°, respectively. The results also showed that the rutting parameter (G

Subject of research: the paper presents a method of hard alloy fabrication via spark plasma sintering technology performed for mechanically activated powders of mixed WC compositions with 10 wt % Co.
Methods and objects of research: mechanical activation of the powders was carried out in a ball planetary mill by wet milling/stirring in anhydrous isopropanol medium using a milling container and balls made of WC.
Main results of research: the paper presents experimental data on the densification dynamics (kinetics and sintering stages) during spark plasma sintering at temperatures of 1000, 1100, 1150 and 1200 С. The results of studies of the phase composition, microstructural organization and physical and mechanical properties of WC-10wt.%Co hard alloy are given. Optimal sintering parameters (1200 C, 9 min) are determined. Hardness and mechanical strength of WC-10wt.%Co hard alloy samples increase as the sintering temperature increases with reaching the density of 99.6 % of the theoretical value. It is shown that with increasing temperature from 1000 to 1200 C the average WC grain size slightly increases from 3.3 m to 3.9 m with increasing contribution of the share of larger grains with size 4 m.

Abstract
Material Sugarcane natural fiber material can be used as a sound absorber material. In measuring the value of the sound absorption coefficient of the cane natural fiber silencer using the sound level meter application on the smartphone to measure the intensity of sound (dB) and the frequency generator application connected to the speaker as a sound source (Hz). The test uses an acoustic box as a miniature room that will be tested for its sound absorption coefficient values coated with sugarcane natural fibers. The purpose of this study is to find out the influence of sugarcane fibers in reducing noise and to find out the effect of frequency variations on the value of the sound absorption coefficient. Measurement of the noise level of the sugarcane natural fiber material on the acoustic wall produces different sound absorption coefficient values based on variations in the frequency of the sound source. The greater the frequency value, the higher the absorption coefficient value. Frequency variations used include 500 Hz, 1000 Hz, 1500 Hz, 2000 Hz, 2500 Hz, and 3000 Hz. The value of the sound absorption coefficient drops at a frequency of 1000 Hz but there is a re-increase at frequencies above 1500 Hz. The smallest sound absorption coefficient is obtained at the time of frequency 1500 Hz with a value of = 0.01047 and the largest at the time of frequency 3000 Hz with a value of = 0.10139. The coefficient value is too small, so it is not effective in muffling the sound.
