Authors: Madhusheka K. K. K. G. , Jethusan J. , Piyananda S. D. P. 
Published: January 2025

Purpose: This study aims to investigate the impact of identified determinants of cryptocurrency awareness among young Sri Lankans, especially focusing on their financial literacy, financial market experience, computer self-efficacy, perceived benefits, and trust. Design/Methodology/Approach: This study employs a quantitative research design using a deductive approach. Accordingly, primary data collected from 375 undergraduates from different faculties at the University of Kelaniya was analyzed using descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, and regression analysis. Findings: The results of the study showed that there is a statistically significant impact of selected independent variables (financial literacy, financial market experience, computer self-efficacy, perceived benefit, and trust) on cryptocurrency awareness. In addition, the findings emphasize the importance of financial literacy and computer self-efficacy, suggesting the need for more educational initiatives to build up their awareness. The researcher recommended training programs for undergraduates to enhance digital skills, education on cryptocurrency risks, and collaboration with institutions to promote responsible investment and provide implications for academia and policymakers. Originality: As there are limited studies based on the social acceptance of cryptocurrencies among young Sri Lankans, this study uniquely focuses on young Sri Lankans, an under-researched demographic in the field of cryptocurrency adoption. While much of the existing literature centers on developed economies, this research highlights the importance of understanding cryptocurrency awareness in developing economies like Sri Lanka where economic conditions, technological infrastructure, and financial systems differ significantly.

Authors: Sakariyas Sandhra , Shruthi Kotakonda , Chacko Gish , Ravichandran Aparna 
Published: January 2025

Abstract

Introduction:
Voice is an important identity for humans, it is the medium through which we communicate with the outside world; our ideas, emotions and personality. A voice disorder is a condition that affects the quality, pitch, or loudness of your voice, or makes it inappropriate for your age, gender, or other factors. Various vocal abnormalities may have varying degrees of QOL impact on individuals.

Aim:
There are only few clinical tests available in Indian languages to assess the quality of life of a person with voice disorders. Voice – Disorder Outcome Profile (Voice-DOP) is one among them, which is available only in Kannada and Tamil. Hence, this study is aimed at translating and validating Voice-DOP into Telugu language.

Method:
This study was carried out in two phases: Translation phase and Validation phase. Original version of Voice-DOP in English was translated into Telugu under Translation phase. Validation phase consists of cross checking the reliability of the items in the test using Cronbach’s coefficient as first step followed by validation of the test. Eighty subjects with voice disorders and forty subjects with no voice disorders were selected and the test is administered for validation of the test. The results were statistically analyzed using Pearson’s product moment correlation.

Results:
Reliability (Internal consistency) check of the items in the test showed ‘Excellent’ results. Validation of the test results also showed statistically significant correlation on all domains of the test as well as the overall severity of the voice problem.

Conclusion:
One cannot overstate the value of using native language when assessing any communication difficulties. Development of language and cultural-specific self-perception measures is essential in assessing the impact of quality of life of an individual with voice disorders. Thus, translation and validation of Voice-DOP into Telugu is considered as the need of the hour, which is fulfilled in this study.
Test–Retest Reliability of Temporal Processing Tests in Normal Hearing Young Adults

Published: January 2025

Abstract

Introduction:
It is essential to use tests that exhibit high levels of sensitivity, specificity, and effectiveness to identify Central Auditory Processing Disorder. However, data on the reliability of these tests when administered repeatedly are limited in the literature. Furthermore, earlier researchers have reported variable reliability on a variety of auditory processing tests. Practice effect may be one of the contributing factors to this variability. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the test–retest reliability of various temporal processing tasks in young adults with normal hearing sensitivity and to study the practice effect on repeated measurements.

Methods:
A repeated measure design was utilized for estimating the test–retest reliability and practice effect on the duration pattern test and forward masking test. The study involved 30 young adults with normal hearing abilities. Half of the participants were tested twice with a break of 1 week, and the rest of the participants underwent testing thrice in a session with a break of 15 min between each trial.

Results:
Statistical analysis revealed good consistency between the trials spaced 1 week apart, while there was no significant difference observed between trials spaced 15 min apart on both tests. This indicated good reliability and a lack of practice effect for both test procedures.

Conclusions:
The study concludes that both tests have high test–retest reliability when measured 1 week apart. The absence of practice effect on closely spaced subsequent trials suggests that repeated exposure to the test does not significantly impact performance.
Response to adjunctive antibiotic therapy along with nonsurgical periodontal therapy in the treatment of peri-implantitis and chronic periodontitis patients: An exploratory review
Authors: Sethi Geetanshu , Grover Vishakha , Gupta Jyoti , Jain Ashish 
Published: January 2025

Objectives:
This review was conducted to assess and compare whether there is a difference in response to adjunctive systemic and locally delivered antibiotics along with nonsurgical periodontal therapy (NSPT) in the treatment of peri-implantitis (PI) and chronic periodontitis (CP).

Materials and Methods:
A systematic search of literature on the predefined criteria was conducted using PubMed, Embase, and Scopus. Probing pocket depth, bleeding on probing, clinical attachment level, and microbial load reduction were selected as primary outcomes, whereas plaque index and gingival index were evaluated as secondary outcomes. Standard Cochrane risk-of-bias tools were used for the quality assessment of the included studies, and a qualitative data synthesis was conducted owing to the observed heterogeneity of the extracted data.

Results:
Adjunctive systemic and local antibiotics with NSPT resulted in additional beneficial effects in cases of both CP and PI, with greater improvement observed in cases of CP as compared to PI. Even for treatment of PI, among local antibiotics, minocycline was the only antibiotic with some significant adjunctive benefits, when used with NSPT as documented.

Conclusion:
Within the limitations of the review, it is concluded that the adjunctive use of antibiotics with NSPT offers a beneficial effect in the management of both CP and PI; however, there is insufficient direct evidence regarding the comparative efficacy of the adjunctive antibiotic therapy along with NSPT for the treatment of PI and CP.
Influence of surface texture on osteogenic differentiation of dental pulp stem cells: An in vitro study
Authors: Rajpurohit Komal , Dodwad Vidya , Kharat Avinash , Belludi Spoorthi , Pharne Pooja , Marium Sarah 
Published: January 2025

Background:
In comparison with perfectly machined surface implants, surface topographic modifications like roughness accelerate the osteogenesis of dental pulpal stem cells (DPSC). This greatly enhances bone-implant contact and osteogenic potential of the stem cells. Hence, the aim of the current study was to evaluate and compare the differentiation and proliferation potential of stem cells obtained from dental pulp on sand-blasted and acid etched implant discs surfaces.

Materials and Methods:
Stem cells from dental pulp were extracted from the premolar region of oral cavity. Titanium discs that measured one centimeter in diameter and three millimetres in thickness were used as investigation surfaces. Titanium surface disc were acid etched and sandblasted. Investigation had three group: acid etched (Group A), sandblasted (Group B), and standard control group, i.e., cells treated with osteogenic induction media only (Group C). In Group C, mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) were treated with osteogenic induction medium without any titanium disc and these cells were used as standard controls. To identify which modified implant surface had greater potential for proliferation, 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay was performed using the explant culture. MTT assay assessed the viability of the cells as a function of its redox potential. This was followed by recognition of the stem cells for CD90, CD73, and CD 105 markers using flow cytometry with RUNX2 antibody on days 7 and 21 of incubation. The isolated cells were stained using 1% alizarin red stain to identify the number of stem cells per square centimeter area under the light microscope.

Results:
The osteogenic differentiation of both the materials was compared with standard control (MSCs treated with osteogenic differentiation media only). The osteoblastic cells on the acid-etched and sand-blasted implant surface disc had an almost identical capacity for proliferation till the MTT assay but according to the results of the alizarin red staining there was a slightly higher proliferation potential on acid etched surfaces compared to the sand blasted surfaces. Therefore, acid etched surfaces showed higher potential of osteogenic differentiation of DPSCs compared with sand-blasted surfaces.

Conclusion:
In comparison with perfectly machined surface implants, topographic surface modifications such as roughness can accelerate the osteogenesis of DPSC in
vitro.
Bratteli diagrams in Borel dynamics
Authors: Bezuglyi Sergey , Jorgensen Palle E. T. , Karpel Olena , Sanadhya Shrey 
Published: January 2025

Bratteli–Vershik models have been very successfully applied to the study of various dynamical systems, in particular, in Cantor dynamics. In this paper, we study dynamics on the path spaces of
generalized
Bratteli diagrams that form models for non-compact Borel dynamical systems. Generalized Bratteli diagrams have countably infinite many vertices at each level; thus, the corresponding incidence matrices are also countably infinite. We emphasize differences (and similarities) between generalized and classical Bratteli diagrams. Our main results are as follows. (i) We utilize Perron–Frobenius theory for countably infinite matrices to establish criteria for the existence and uniqueness of tail-invariant path space measures (both probability and

\sigma

-finite). (ii) We provide criteria for the topological transitivity of the tail equivalence relation. (iii) We describe classes of stationary generalized Bratteli diagrams (hence Borel dynamical systems) that (a) do not support a probability tail-invariant measure and (b) are not uniquely ergodic with respect to the tail equivalence relation. (iv) We describe classes of generalized Bratteli diagrams which can or cannot admit a continuous Vershik map and construct a Vershik map which is a minimal homeomorphism of a (non-locally compact) Polish space. (v) We provide an application of the theory of stochastic matrices to analyze diagrams with positive recurrent incidence matrices.
Clinical features of abnormal α-fetoprotein in 15 patients with chronic viral hepatitis B after treatment with antiviral drugs
Authors: Jiang Man-Lei , Xu Fei , Li Jin-Long , Luo Jia-Yu , Hu Jiang-Ling , Zeng Xian-Qiang 
Published: January 2025

BACKGROUND
Liver function of chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients is essentially normal after treatment with antiviral drugs. In rare cases, persistently abnormally elevated α-fetoprotein (AFP) is seen in CHB patients following long-term antiviral treatment. However, in the absence of imaging evidence of liver cancer, a reasonable explanation for this phenomenon is still lacking.
AIM
To explore the causes of abnormal AFP in patients with CHB who were not diagnosed with liver cancer.
METHODS
From November 2019 to May 2023, 15 patients with CHB after antiviral treatment and elevated AFP were selected. Clinical data and quality indicators related to laboratory testing, imaging data, and pathological data were obtained through inpatient medical records.
RESULTS
All patients had increased AFP and significantly elevated IgG. Cancer was excluded by imaging examination. Only four patients had elevated alanine aminotransferase, 10 had elevated aspartate aminotransferase, nine had elevated total bilirubin, and two had antinuclear antibodies. The liver biopsy and histopathological examination indicated that 14 patients had rosette, moderate, or higher interfacial inflammation, lymphocyte infiltration, and severe hepatic fibers (11 cases), which was consistent with the pathological features of autoimmune hepatitis (AIH). After 8-12 week of hormone therapy, the levels of AFP and IgG, and liver function returned to normal (P < 0.05).
CONCLUSION
For patients with CHB and elevated AFP after antiviral treatment, autoimmune hepatitis should be considered. CHB with AIH is clinically insidious and difficult to detect, and prone to progression to cirrhosis. Liver puncture pathological examination should be performed when necessary to confirm diagnosis.
Management of chylous ascites after liver cirrhosis: A case report
Authors: Chen Zong-Qiang , Zeng Shu-Jun , Xu Chun 
Published: January 2025

BACKGROUND
Chylous ascites is an uncommon condition, occurring in less than 1% of ascites cases. It results from traumatic or obstructive disruption of the lymphatic system, causing the leakage of thoracic or intestinal lymph into the abdominal cavity. This leads to the accumulation of a milky, triglyceride-rich fluid. In adults, malignancy and cirrhosis are the primary causes of chylous ascites. Notably, chylous ascites accounts for only 0.5% to 1% of all cirrhosis-related ascites cases. At present, there is a limited understanding of this condition, and effective timely management in clinical practice remains challenging.
CASE SUMMARY
This case report presents a patient with hepatic cirrhosis complicated by chylous ascites, who had experienced multiple hospitalizations due to abdominal distension. Upon admission, comprehensive examinations and assessments were conducted. The treatment strategy focused on nutritional optimization through a low-sodium, low-fat, and high-protein diet supplemented with medium-chain triglycerides, therapeutic paracentesis, and diuretics. Following a multidisciplinary discussion and thorough evaluation of the patient’s condition, surgical indications were confirmed. After informing the patient about the benefits and risks, and obtaining consent, a transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt procedure was performed, successfully alleviating the abdominal swelling symptoms. This article details the clinical characteristics and treatment approach for this uncommon case, summarizing current management methods for hepatic cirrhosis complicated by chylous ascites. The aim is to provide valuable insights for clinicians encountering similar situations.
CONCLUSION
Optimizing nutrition and addressing the underlying cause are essential in the treatment of chylous ascites. When conservative approaches prove ineffective, alternative interventions such as transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt may be considered.
Análises Foucaultianas em Livros Didáticos de Matemática: caminhos teórico-metodológicos e possibilidades curriculares
Authors: Silva Marcio Antonio , Santos José Wilson dos 
Published: January 2025

Este ensaio teórico revisita as contribuições de Marcio Silva e José Wilson dos Santos para as pesquisas sobre livros didáticos de matemática na educação básica, focando em seus aspectos teórico-metodológicos. Os autores têm se dedicado à análise desses materiais, utilizando a análise do discurso foucaultiana e o conceito de governamentalidade para investigar como esses recursos didáticos participam da produção de verdades e da constituição de subjetividades no contexto da Educação Matemática, especialmente na produção de sujeitos neoliberais. Para além da análise do discurso, o ensaio discute outras ferramentas foucaultianas que podem ampliar as análises de livros didáticos, como a biopolítica. O ensaio também destaca a importância de aprofundar a crítica sobre o papel dos livros didáticos na produção de verdades e subjetividades e aponta os oito R's, propostos por Marcio Silva, como possibilidades para repensar a seleção e a organização curricular, buscando a construção de currículos críticos e anti-hegemônicos.
