Published: December 2022

ABSTRACT

Background:
The internet has become an essential part of life, and it has both beneficial and detrimental effects. There is a plethora of evidence relating to the effect of internet addiction on psychological health. There is also an unmet need to lay the foundation for the differences in usage and the effects on mental health in regard to the use of the internet for rural and urban students.

Materials and Methods:
The present study was conducted on 200 adolescent subjects belonging to the urban and rural areas around the city of Varanasi to establish the pattern of use of the internet as well as its psychological implications. The participants were evaluated upon the Internet Addiction Test (IAT) and General Health Questionnaire-12 (GHQ-12), and information pertaining to socio-demographics as well as accessory information related to internet usage were captured through semi-structured proforma.

Results:
The results indicated no significant differences in the pattern of internet usage (mean IAT score) as well as psychological health (mean GHQ-12) between urban and rural youth. There was a significant positive association between the overall severity of internet use with poor psychological health (GHQ-12 score). There was a significant difference in the overall mean age as well as the mean age of onset of internet use between both groups (rural versus urban). This study highlighted an important issue of the digital divide based on gender-wise differences in the pattern in the overall sample.

Conclusion:
This study highlighted the important differences in the pattern of internet use among the rural and urban populations with its clinical implication being a need to educate the youth regarding the healthy use of technology.

Published: December 2022

Background
Burns are a global health problem, accounting for about 180 000 deaths annually especially in low- and middle-income countries. Many reports have concentrated on the role of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) in the treatment of soft tissue burn lesions.

Aim
This work aimed to study the role of Masson’s trichrome stain in evaluating the effect of PRP on induced thermal burn in adult male albino rats.

Materials and methods
In all, 50 adult male albino rats were divided into blood donor group (10 rats), control group (10 rats), and experimental group (30 rats). The experimental group was further subdivided into subgroups A, B, and C. For the experimental group, the rats were anesthetized and exposed to thermal burn. Subgroup A were subjected to contact thermal burn and left without treatment. Subgroup B were subcutaneously injected with 0.3 ml of autologous PRP. In subgroup C autologous topical PRP was applied. Skin specimens were obtained and stained by Masson’s trichrome for histological evaluation at days 1, 7, 14, and 28 after burn induction.

Results
The subgroups that were treated by PRP were found with better collagen organization and earlier restoration of normal histological features of skin tissue.

Conclusion
Application of different forms of PRP (injectable and topical) helps healing of burn wounds.

Authors: El Shahat Ahmed Abo Zaid Aya A.E.A. , Zaghloul Mohammad I. , Mabrouk Maaly M. , Nofel Hanaa E. 
Published: December 2022

Background
The chronic inflammatory autoimmune illness of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is defined by continuous symmetrical joint inflammation and joint distortions, as well as by bone loss which leads to a serious handicap. Calprotectin is a heterodimer formed by two proteins (S100A8 and S100A9) released from leukocytes, macrophages, and monocytes, with an important role in the process of several inflammatory diseases including RA.

Aim
The present research seeks to study the discriminatory capacity of calprotectin to distinguish between clinically active and inactive disease in RA patients despite the recently used laboratory examinations being normal.

Patients and methods
This study included 60 patients (25 patients diagnosed as active RA with low C-reactive protein (CRP); 15 patients diagnosed as active RA with high CRP; 20 patients with inactive RA (remission); and 20 apparently healthy volunteers as the control group.

Results
When RA patients were compared with healthy controls, serum calprotectin levels were significantly higher. Serum calprotectin levels were also shown to have statistically significant relationships with Disease Activity Score 28 score, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, and anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide. Serum calprotectin showed an 88% sensitivity and 90% specificity for detecting RA activity at a threshold level of more than 6 ng/dl.

Conclusion
Calprotectin plays an essential role in evaluating illness activity in RA patients, with added usefulness in assessing RA’s inflammatory activity, particularly in individuals who do not have high levels of conventional acute-phase reactants like interleukin-6 (erythrocyte sedimentation rate, CRP).

Authors: Sheir Linah H.T. , Elhawary Eslam E. , Abdelnaby Amira Y. , El Hay Mashhor Eman Abd 
Published: December 2022

Background
Primary immune thrombocytopenia pupura (ITP) is an autoimmune disorder caused by both increased peripheral platelet destruction and impaired platelet production. The main mechanism of thrombocytopenia is the production of autoantibodies against platelet-membrane glycoproteins. Alterations in the blood levels of cytokines and chemokines in ITP patients, including the anti-inflammatory cytokine interleukin (IL)-10, were previously documented.

Aim
The aim of this study was to evaluate serum IL-10 level in ITP patients and its clinical significance.

Patients and methods
This prospective case–control study was conducted in the Clinical Pathology Department on 40 children with ITP equally divided into acute and chronic groups who were admitted to Pediatric Department – Tanta University. Twenty healthy children of matched age and sex served as the control group.

Results
Serum IL-10 levels were significantly higher in patients with acute ITP compared with patients with chronic ITP and healthy controls. Splenectomy was statistically significantly higher in the study group than control group, as well as rash and epistaxis. There was a significant negative correlation between IL-10 level and platelets, aspartate aminotransferase and alanine aminotransferase in acute ITP group. In addition, there was a significant negative correlation between IL-10 level and platelet count but a significant positive correlation with creatinine in chronic ITP group.

Conclusion
The higher levels of IL-10 found at the onset of ITP in patients with acute disease emphasize the role of this cytokine in immunotolerance, besides providing a promising indicator of the clinical progression of the disease.

Published: December 2022

Background
One of the most common hepatic disorders is nonalcoholic fatty-liver disease. The best model used for nonalcoholic fatty-liver disease is the monosodium glutamate (MSG)-induced obesity. MSG is a common flavor enhancer used in different food products. Vitamin-D deficiency increased risks of obesity and nonalcoholic fatty-liver disease. However, much is still unknown about the link between vitamin D and nonalcoholic fatty-liver disease in obesity.

Aim
The aim was to investigate the effect of vitamin D on MSG-induced obesity and nonalcoholic fatty-liver disease in rats.

Materials and methods
Forty adult male albino rats were divided into four equal groups: control group, vitamin-D-treated group, MSG-treated group, MSG, and vitamin-D-treated group, at the end of the experimental period, blood samples were taken. Also, livers were dissected for histopathology.

Results
Vitamin D+MSG significantly decreased the body weight, serum levels of glucose, insulin and homeostasis model assessment-estimated insulin resistance, triglycerides, tumor necrosis factor-alpha, aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase, and the liver malondialdehyde, while increased the liver glutathione levels and improved the liver histological findings compared with MSG group.

Conclusion
Vitamin D has a hepatoprotective effect on the MSG-induced obesity and nonalcoholic fatty-liver disease.
Localization of epileptic focus in children with intractable epilepsy
Authors: Mohamed A. Basiouny , Khaled H. Rashed , Hassan G. Nassar , Ahmed A. Kandeel 
Published: December 2022

Background
Epilepsy is a common neurological disorder. Preoperative evaluation of intractable epileptic patients requires identification of the brain area that is responsible for generating seizure activity. The developments of functional brain imaging with positron emission tomography, single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT), and functional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) have ensured its clinical relevance.

Aim
The aim of this work was to evaluate the role of Tc-99m hexamethylpropylene amine oxime brain-perfusion SPECT and comparing it with MRI) and electroencephalogram (EEG) in the localization of epileptic focus in children with medically intractable epilepsy.

Patients and Methods
The study population consisted of twenty children with medically intractable epilepsy. They were subjected to complete history taking, clinical assessment, laboratory assessment, and radiological assessment, including EEG, traditional MRI, and SPECT.

Results
Medically intractable epilepsy is more likely to occur in children with early age of onset, high frequency of seizures per month, more reliability of febrile seizures, and having associated neurological abnormalities. It is more likely to occur in focal forms of seizures than in generalized forms. Children with focal EEG activity and focal seizures are the most likely group to have abnormal brain MRI results and abnormal cerebral perfusion in SPECT. MRI is very important in the localization of structural lesions, but SPECT in localization of functional lesions.

Conclusion
Interictal SPECT results were nearly the same as the MRI results.

AbstractWe investigate theweighted $L_p$affine surface areaswhich appear in the recently established$L_p$Steiner formula of the$L_p$Brunn–Minkowski theory. We show that they are valuations on the set of convex bodies and prove isoperimetric inequalities for them. We show that they are related tofdivergences of the cone measures of the convex body and its polar, namely the Kullback–Leibler divergence and the Rényi divergence.
Correlation between optimized thicknesses of capping layer and thin metal electrode for efficient top‐emitting blue organic light‐emitting diodes

Published: December 2022

AbstractThe optical properties of the materials composing organic light‐emitting diodes (OLEDs) are considered when designing the optical structure of OLEDs. Optical design is related to the optical properties, such as the efficiency, emission spectra, and color coordinates of OLED devices because of the microcavity effect in top‐emitting OLEDs. In this study, the properties of top‐emitting blue OLEDs were optimized by adjusting the thicknesses of the thin metal layer and capping layer (CPL). Deep blue emission was achieved in an OLED structure with a second cavity length, even when the transmittance of the thin metal layer was high. The thin metal film thickness ranges applicable to OLEDs with a second microcavity structure are wide. Instead, the thickness of the thin metal layer determines the optimized thickness of the CPL for high efficiency. A thinner metal layer means that higher efficiency can be obtained in OLED devices with a second microcavity structure. In addition, OLEDs with a thinner metal layer showed less color change as a function of the viewing angle.

Authors: BRUIT ZAIDMAN Louise 
Published: December 2022

Résumé

Cet article propose une mise au point sur les différentes offrandes d’étoffes faites aux dieux dans un cadre rituel. Celles-ci font partie des rituels de soins prodigués aux statues des dieux. Parmi les offrandes officielles et publiques, les rites en l’honneur d’Athéna Polias à Athènes, consistent dans le lavage de la statue, ensuite revêtue et parée de nouveau. Une attention particulière est donnée à la remise solennelle d’un peplos à l’occasion d’une cérémonie et d’une procession, attestée à Sparte, à Athènes et à Olympie. Les tisseuses sont des femmes de la cité que l’on retrouve dans la procession qui conduit l’offrande. Parmi ces péplophories, celle des Panathénées à Athènes, la mieux documentée, soulève de nombreuses questions. Toute la cité y est représentée à travers une mise en scène idéale de ses différentes composantes.

Title: Dressing the gods: from fabric offerings to peplophoria in ancient Greece

This paper focuses on the different offerings of fabrics made to the gods in a ritual setting. These are part of the care rituals given to the statues of the gods. Among the official and public offerings, the rites in honor of Athena Polias in Athens consist in washing the statue before dressing and adorning it again. Particular attention is given to the solemn handing over of a peplos on the occasion of a ceremony and a procession, attested in Sparta, Athens and Olympia. The weavers are women from the city who take part in the procession that brings the offering. Among these peplophories, that of the Panathenaic in Athens, the best documented, raises many questions. The whole city is represented there through an ideal staging of its various components.

The objectives of this research are to estimate and analyze the effect of corporate governance, audit quality, firm size, and leverage on earnings management, either partially or simultaneously. The research method used is panel data regression analysis. Purposive sampling approach was used, choosing six companies that consistently participated in the Corporate Governance Perception Index (CGPI) program from 2014 to 2019 and are listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange. The results show that CGPI has a significant negative effect, audit quality has no significant effect, firm size has a significant negative effect, leverage has a significant positive effect on earnings management. CGPI, audit quality, firm size, and leverage simultaneously have a significant effect on earnings management with a coefficient of determination (R2) of 0.7936, indicating that all independent variables can explain variations in earnings management by 79.36%, while the remaining 20. 64% is explained by other factors not to be included in the model.

Authors: Wu Jin , Bi Chuanchen 
Published: December 2022

In recent years, due to the government's increased supervision on the real estate industry, the growth rate of the commercial real estate market has slowed down, and it is difficult to de inventory in some regions, and the structural contradiction has become increasingly prominent. With the rise and development of e-commerce, traditional integrated commercial entities are facing a severe development situation. Xiyingmen Building Materials and Home Furnishings Plaza was founded in 1997 and headquartered in Shanghai. It specializes in the development, operation and management of urban complex and building materials and furniture plaza projects. Because of its early start and perfect supporting facilities, it also achieved good financial performance in the early stage. However, with the continuous emergence of large commercial complexes, the pattern of new and old business districts has changed significantly, and the competition between commercial complexes has become increasingly fierce. The financial performance of Xiyingmen Building Materials and Home Furnishing Plaza has declined year by year. Therefore, it is urgent to carry out special research, propose feasible measures, summarize effective experience, which is conducive to promoting the sustainable development of the industry, bringing better benefits to the operation of the industry, and can provide theoretical reference for the formulation of marketing strategies for many similar commercial complexes.
From the perspective of the demand and service of target merchants and consumers, this paper first analyzes the macro environment analysis, regional business development analysis, competitor comparison analysis, project positioning analysis, SWOT analysis and other aspects of Xiyingmen Building Materials and Home Furnishing Plaza, which provides a solid foundation and reference value for the project to formulate marketing strategies.
The Freedom of Expression and the Right to Information – Fundamental Rights Affected by Fake News?
Authors: Niță Anca Jeanina 
Published: December 2022

The present paper seeks to function as an incentive for debate on the extent in which – in the context of a disturbing expansion of the fake news phenomenon – a law of the press is needed in Romania.
It invokes the interdependency between the right to information and the freedom of expression, it presents the constitutional requirements concerning these fundamental rights, including those about restricting their exercise in exceptional circumstances.
It observes the duties of the actors belonging to the mass media ecosystem as provided in the Recommendation CM/Rec(2011)7 of the Council of Europe and it invokes the relevant case law of the European Court of Human Rights.
Without arrogating solutions, it argues that a legislative intervention may well degenerate into an abuse against the freedom of expression, that a law of the press cannot completely protect against disinformation, whereas the development of public policies – in which all actors responsible for fighting the fake news phenomenon ought to be engaged – is not only welcome, but necessary.

Data plays a vital role in the management of trainings. Data on the implementation of trainings are needed for long-term purposes either for accreditation or alumni needs. One data that must be safe and easily accessible is the certificate of the training participants. Lately, the system of storing and distributing the certificates at the Religious Education and Training Center of Aceh had been done manually. This resulted in ineffective and inefficient distribution of the certificate. Therefore, cloud computing technology was used to overcome this problem. This study aimed to describe the stages of using the cloud computing technology for storing and distributing certificates of training alumni of 2020 and 2021. The research was conducted qualitatively. The data sources of this study were; (1) Head of Technical Section of Education and Religious Training, (2) Committee Technical Section of Education and Religious Training, (3) Alumni of regular training and PdWK training, and (4) Staff of Technical Section of Education and Religious Training. Data were collected through observation, interviews and document studies. This study resulted in five stages of using the cloud computing technology for the distribution of training alumni certificates; (1) consultation and coordination, (2) digitization, (3) certificate storage into cloud computing, (4) system testing and socialisation to the committee about the digital certificate storage link, (5) system evaluation and improvement.
