    Abstract Objectives: Hematological toxicity induced by chemotherapy is known to be caused by multiple factors, including genetic factors such as polymorphisms. The polymorphisms may occur in drug efflux transporter proteins and enzymes involved in drug metabolism. We investigate the incidence of hematological toxicities and their relation to the haplotype ATP-binding cassette B1 (ABCB1) which were polymorphisms of
    Methods: This retrospective cohort study was conducted on 138 breast cancer patients who underwent three cycles of chemotherapy in H. Adam Malik Hospital, Medan, Indonesia, who satisfied the inclusion criteria. The DNA of these patients was extracted from the peripheral leukocytes. Single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) ABCB1 and GSTP1 were examined by the polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism method. Data on patient characteristics and the incidence of hematological toxicity after each of the three cycles of chemotherapy were obtained from the medical records. The variations in absolute neutrophil count (ANC) and anemia were analyzed using the Friedmann test and the Wilcoxon signed-rank test. The Kruskal-Wallis test was used to investigate the association of ABCB1 and GSTP1 polymorphisms with anemia and neutropenia. The frequency distributions of genotypes and alleles were determined using the Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium (HWE).
    Results: Post the chemotherapy cycles, there was decrease in ANC (Mean±SD: 5 644.4±2 962.5 mm
    Conclusions: Indonesia breast cancer patients who underwent three cycles of chemotherapy demonstrated susceptibility to hematological toxicity by developing side effects such as anemia and neutropenia. However, no relationship was found between hematological toxicity and ABCB1 and GSTP1 polymorphisms.

    Abstract We investigated ecological factors that influence the presence of nests of Levaillant’s Woodpecker Picus vaillantii in the Aurès Mountains of northeastern Algeria. Surveys carried out during the breeding season in 2018 and 2019, using point counts combined with extensive nest searching around each point at 72 random stations, allowed us to detect 44 nests against 28 unoccupied points. Using data on trees, deadwood, snags, canopy cover at the nest site, and elevation, we developed models reflecting landscape structure and forest composition. The results indicate that P. vaillantii prefers nesting in high-altitude forests and in dense canopies with high elevation. This reflects the importance of the forest composition, which is related to altitude, and the landscape structure, represented by the canopy cover, for the breeding of this species.

    Abstract The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) has led to the growth and expansion of various new opportunities in the new Industrial Transformation. There have been notable challenges regarding the security of data and challenges related to privacy when collecting real-time and automatic data while observing applications in the industry. This paper proposes an Federated Transfer Learning for Authentication and Privacy Preservation Using Novel Supportive Twin Delayed DDPG (S-TD3) Algorithm for IIoT. In FT-Block (Federated transfer learning blockchain), several blockchains are applied to preserve privacy and security for all types of industrial applications. Additionally, by introducing the authentication mechanism based on transfer learning, blockchains can enhance the preservation and security standards for industrial applications. Specifically, Novel Supportive Twin Delayed DDPG trains the user model to authenticate specific regions. As it is considered one of the most open and scalable interacting platforms of information, it successfully helps in the positive transfer of different kinds of data between devices in more significant and local operations of the industry. It is mainly due to a single authentication factor, and the poor adaptation to regular increases in the number of users and different requirements that make the current authentication mechanism suffer a lot in IIoT. As a result, it has been very clearly observed that the given solutions are very useful.

    Title translation Turrett's exostoses: about 35 casesk.
    Abstract We conducted a retrospective study of 35 patients with subungual exostosis of the hallux, also known as Turrett's exostosis, in the Department of Orthopedics and Traumatology at the Senior Military Hospital of Instruction of Tunis over the period between 1995 and 2015. We here summarize the outcomes of patients treated for this disease. The average age of patients was 29 years, with a sex ratio of 1.7. The median consultation time was six months. This delay in consultation was caused by a diagnostic error due to clinical picture resemblance with ingrown nail. Diagnosis was always confirmed by frontal and profile X-ray of the involved hallux. Treatment was based on total resection of the exostosis either through large ungual window or by latero-ungual approach. Anatomo-pathological examination was performed systematically. It allowed to confirm the benignity of the disease in all cases. All patients recovered and returned to their previous activity, on average, in 2 months. No patient had a recurrence.

    Abstract Loss and damage (L&D) from climate change result from past and current greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Current definitions of L&D exclude GHG emissions even though they represent L&D to human beings and the environment. This study’s objective was to identify and quantify the L&D from GHG emissions associated with land developments using the state of Florida (FL) in the United States of America (USA) as a case study. All land developments in FL caused various L&D (20,249.6 km 2 , midpoint 3.0 × 10 11 of total soil carbon (TSC) losses with midpoint $50.3B (where B = billion = 10 9 , USD) in social costs of carbon dioxide emissions, SC-CO 2 ), while “new” land developments (1703.7 km 2 ) in the period from 2001 to 2016 caused a complete loss of midpoint 2.8 × 10 10 kg of TSC resulting in midpoint $4.5B SC-CO 2 . These emissions are currently not accounted for in FL’s total carbon footprint (CF). Climate-change-related damages in FL include permanent losses (e.g., land losses), with 47 out of 67 FL’s counties potentially affected by the projected sea-level rise and repairable damages (e.g., destruction from hurricanes). Based on the fixed social cost of carbon (C), there appears to be a disconnect between the value attributed to soil-based emissions and the actual market-driven losses from climate-change-associated costs. The social cost of C could be scaled based on the vulnerability of a particular community and the market-based cost of L&D mitigation. Programs for compensation on the international level should be carefully designed to help people who have suffered climate-related L&D, without creating reverse climate change adaptation (RCCA), where compensation causes people to remain in areas that are vulnerable to climate-related L&D.

    Abstract Levaillant’s Woodpecker is an endemic species of the forests of north-western Africa. Through the cavities it digs, its presence is essential for the existence of other cavity nesters. However, despite its importance to its ecosystems, there are not much data dealing with its ecology and especially its habitats. To describe these habitats, we investigated nest-sites characteristics of Levaillant’s Woodpecker Picus vaillantii in the Aures forest massifs of north-eastern Algeria, during two breeding seasons 2018 and 2019. Using the point count method, we detected 45 occupied nesting cavities, unevenly distributed over the formations, dominated by Atlas cedar (73.3%), Holm oak (13.3%), and Aleppo pine (4.4%). Results showed high utilisation of live trees (71.1%) with healthy crowns (75.5%). Findings also revealed that the species favoured tree trunks (77.7%) as nesting support and that the determination of the nest height was strongly dependent on the height of the nesting tree. Nest height and tree diameter at this height varied significantly among tree species. Nests were higher in Aleppo pine, however, tree diameters at nest positions were lower in this species, compared with other tree species. These results on the ecology of Levaillant’s Woodpecker can serve to fill the information gap in the ornithological knowledge of the Aures forests areas and provide important information for the conservation of the species in the context of forest management practices.

    Abstract Abstract To test the contagion effect of fear migration between countries, and to show its causality direction, our paper contributes to the economic literature by providing a new study based on migration fear indices quarterly data of France, Germany, United Kingdom and United States spanning period 1990–2019. Our empirical strategy is based on dynamic conditional correlation GARCH model and continuous wavelet transform analysis. Our results show a significant contagion effect of fear migration between the selected countries in pre and at the European Refugees crisis. The main findings of this work are changes level of conditional correlation in the two subsample periods, and changes in the arrow’s directions in red space of the phase difference between each two fear migration series. These findings indicate that European Refugees crisis changes the relationship between European Union countries and USA, and the Brexit changes the European people behavior towards migrants and refugees. Our findings offer a new directions and tracks in the international relations to the policy makers, moreover it calls into question the various studies examining economic interdependence and the contagion effect of financial crises and policies events on the different markets.

    Abstract Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs decrease pain and fever while corticosteroids regulate inflammation and immune response, both are prescribed to reduce inflammation and control pain. The present study aimed to study the effects of their monotherapy and co-administration on the brain tissue structure of experimental rats. P-glycoprotein (PGP), a transporter membrane protein, plays an important role in various physiological and physio-pathological conditions, drug-drug and drug-food interactions, and multi-drug resistance. Male rats were divided into four groups and received normal saline, dexamethasone, diclofenac sodium and their dual therapy respectively, then after one-month rats were sacrificed and brain tissues proceeded for hematoxylin and eosin staining to study their histopathology and immunohistochemically staining of NSE, S100-B and GFAP biomarkers were performed. Additionally, in silico molecular docking studies were conducted to elucidate interactions between PGP and used compounds. Resultsshowed that dexamethasone or diclofenac sodium treatments showed abnormalities like edema, neuronal vacuoles, astrocytes hyperplasia and microglial cells with positive reaction to NSE, S100 and GFAP antibodies while the dual therapy displayed less edema and other signs of damage with negative and weak positive staining of NSE, S100 and GFAP antibodies respectively. The molecular docking showed that there were different affinities toward the involved PGP active site. These interaction results were great with Dexamethasone -9.6 kcal/mol forming hydrophobic interactions with the highest affinity when compared with Diclofenac sodium which gave -8.4 kcal/mol. In conclusion, the side effects of the two types of anti-inflammatory drugs may be minimized through their interactions. However, Molecular Dynamic Simulations studies are required to explain the exact dynamic behaviors and protein-ligand stability.

    Abstract Shihab is an Islamic scholar who have prolifically produced a comprehensive 30 chapters of Qur’anic exegesis entitled Tafsir Al-Mishbah . This book is perceived as the latest Qur’anic exegesis produced by Muslim scholar of the Archipelago. He stresses on the importance of understanding the Qur’an contextually, supported by a strong understanding of the language and not focusing only on the textual meaning. In relation to this, his work has used a lot of linguistics approaches as to obtain the actual verses exegeses. Therefore, this study seeks to analyse critically his linguistics exegesis, and the focus rests on the debate on pronouns. To obtain a expliciter perspective, this study has adopted the library research and document analysis method by making language and reliable popular Qur’anic exegesis books as primary sources of reference. The outcome of this study finds that Shihab had applied five rules in relation to pronouns , all of which have been approved by scholars and exegetes.
