Koperasi memegang peran yang signifikan dalam meningkatkan kesejahteraan masyarakat. Sebagai entitas usaha, koperasi bertujuan untuk membantu anggotanya dengan berbagai aspek, seperti menyediakan barang dan jasa dengan harga yang lebih terjangkau, memperluas jangkauan pasar bagi produk-produk lokal, dan memberikan kesempatan bagi masyarakat untuk terlibat dalam kegiatan ekonomi. Selain itu, koperasi juga berperan penting bagi pemilik UMKM, sebagian dari mereka dapat memanfaatkan kesempatan membuka usaha dengan mendapatkan modal awal dari koperasi. Di Indonesia, koperasi memiliki peran yang signifikan dalam perekonomian. Hal ini disebabkan oleh kontribusinya dalam memperluas akses terhadap sumber daya dan kesempatan ekonomi bagi masyarakat, terutama mereka yang berada di tingkat ekonomi menengah ke bawah. Melalui koperasi, masyarakat dapat bekerja sama untuk menciptakan peluang usaha, mengembangkan potensi ekonomi lokal, dan meningkatkan kesejahteraan bersama. Hal tersebut dapat dianalisis menggunakan teori keterlekatan dari Granovetter dan menggunakan konsep keterlakatan kuat, dimana dengan adanya hubungan antara Koperasi dan UMKM dapat menimbulkan hubungan yang kuat dan lebih dekat.

Dealing with Death (and the Departed): The Changing Face of Funerary Rites among the Bulsa of Northern Ghana
Authors: Gariba Joshua Awienagua
Published: June 2024

In Ghana, how families and communities across different ethnic groups deal with the dead and the departed has remained unchanged for the past three decades. Presently, however, changes are observable in the increased number of mortuaries, funeral homes, expensive funeral cloths, use of digital technology and big donations. Scholars have attributed these changes to factors such as religion, migration, money economy, mortuary technology, education, and urbanization. Drawing on ethnographic data in the Bulsa area of northern Ghana, this paper examines how a money economy, mortuary technology, and urbanization among other factors have changed the meaning and purpose of funerary rites in the area. The paper concludes that funerary rites will only continue to be meaningful and memorable to the Bulsa when the changes taking place in this cultural practice are well integrated into the way that funerals are celebrated in the families and in the community.
pH Precursors as a Factor for Assessing Rainwater Quality in Roofing Sheets: A Case Study of Rivers State, Nigeria
Authors: O. Omokpariola Daniel , K. Nduka John , L. Omokpariola Patrick
Published: June 2024

Rainwater harvesting is vital for water management in water-scarce regions. This study in Rivers State, Nigeria, assesses rainwater quality from different roofing sheets, emphasizing critical pH precursors. Results show a pH range from 4.50 to 7.90, shifting toward alkalinity with increased rainfall. Temperature rises steadily, while conductivity, turbidity, total dissolved solids, and suspended solids decrease during the wet season. Anionic composition showed that Rumuodomaya/Rumuodome had a high level of 4.77 mg/L nitrate, 1.32 mg/L nitrite, and 1.15 mg/L phosphate, while Chokocho has a high level of 11.51 mg/L chloride, 6.48 mg/L sulfate and 3.44 mg/L hydrogen carbonate compared to Ogale and Diobu for zinc roof. Light metal composition indicates concentrations of sodium, calcium, potassium, ammonium, and aluminum. The neutralization factor analysis highlights NH4+ importance, with Ca2+, Na+, and Mg2+ play significant roles. Hierarchical and factor analysis showed that influences from industrial emissions, agriculture, biomass burning, road construction, limestone mining, soil resuspension, and metabolic processes impact rainwater’s ionic composition. pH emerges as critical, reflecting anthropogenic influences. pH is critical in all aspects of ionic influence from anthropogenic sources that can impact the rainwater quality over a long period. So, rainwater must be treated before consumption or usage for domestic purposes.

Authors: Tehrani Saleh Niloofar , Moradzadegan Atousa
Published: June 2024

Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most common malignant tumors in humans. The influence of natural plant compounds is widely acknowledged today. Artemisia sieberi has anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, and anti-inflammatory properties. Objectives: The aim of the forthcoming study is to investigate the impact of Artemisia sieberi plant extract on the expression of key genes within the apoptosis signaling pathway of the HT-29 cell line. Methods: In this study, RNA extraction and cDNA synthesis were conducted subsequent to the culturing and treatment of HT-29 cancer cells with plains herb extract. A real-time PCR test utilizing specific primers for Bax and Bcl-2 was then performed using the Rotor-Gene Q machine. Additionally, an MTT assay was conducted to assess the toxicity of the Artemisia sieberi extract. Results: The test revealed that as the concentration of the studied extract increased, cell viability decreased in a dose-dependent manner. The calculated IC50 value for the plains herb extract was found to be 0.44 µg/mL. Furthermore, the levels of Bax and Bcl-2 genes in cells treated with the plains herb extract were determined to be 1.48 and 0.45, respectively, indicating an increase in the expression of these two genes. Conclusions: Given the low toxicity of the Artemisia sieberi extract observed in the MTT test and its potential to increase the expression of apoptosis-inducing genes in intestinal cells, it appears that Artemisia sieberi extract could be employed as a therapeutic supplement for the prevention and treatment of gastrointestinal cancers.
Relationship Between Serum HBV-RNA Levels, Sero-biochemical Indices, and Clinicopathological Parameters in Patients with Hepatitis B Virus
Authors: Liang Han , Jiang Junqiu , Ren Feng
Published: June 2024

Background: Studies have indicated that HBV RNA exhibits a distinct profile, and the plasma amino acid profile significantly correlates with the different stages of HBV infection. Objectives: This study investigates the relationship between HBV RNA and the plasma amino acid profile and the levels of HBeAg, HBsAg, HBV DNA levels, and other clinical indexes in diagnosing chronic HBV infection diseases. Methods: In this observational study, a total of 155 patients were included. They were categorized as Hepatitis B virus carriers, chronic Hepatitis B (CHB), Hepatitis B-related cirrhosis, and hepatocellular carcinoma patients. Following routine laboratory techniques, the DNA, RNA, serological indexes (HBsAg, HBsAb, HBeAg, HBeAb, and HBcAb), biochemical indexes (ALT, AST), and the concentration of amino acids were determined from the serum. Results: Any relationship between different parameters considered was determined with the chi-square test, correlation, and multivariate logistic regression analysis. We observed that the HBV DNA and RNA levels were significantly higher in patients with chronic Hepatitis B compared to other groups (P < 0.01). The HBV RNA levels significantly correlated with methionine levels (P < 0.05) and not with other amino acids considered in this study. Further, the HBV DNA levels emerged as an independent risk factor for HBV RNA levels, and the area under the ROC curve was 0.840 (P < 0.01) when the levels of HBV RNA, HBV DNA, and methionine were combined to diagnose chronic Hepatitis B. Conclusions: Our study shows that the levels of HBV RNA are correlated with methionine metabolism levels, and this relationship can be used to diagnose and predict the efficacy of treatment for different stages of HepatitisHepatitis B virus infectious diseases.

Authors: Sedigh Maroufi Shahnam , Mesbah Kiaei Mehrdad , Aligholizadeh Maryam , Saei Azam , Sangi Siavash , Akbarpour Parisa
Published: June 2024

Context: Delirium is a common complication observed in patients undergoing open-heart surgery, leading to adverse outcomes and increased healthcare costs. Ketamine, an N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonist with analgesic and neuroprotective properties, has been reported to have potential protective effects against delirium. In this scoping review, we aim to explore the existing literature on the effect of ketamine administration in open-heart surgery on the incidence of delirium. Evidence Acquisition: In the latter part of 2023, a retrospective analysis was conducted to investigate the impact of administering ketamine on delirium occurrence following coronary artery bypass surgery. Researchers utilized Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) to identify key terms and searched various databases, including Scopus, Web of Science, PubMed, and Cochrane, as well as search engines like Google Scholar, alongside Iran SID and Iran ISC databases. Following the elimination of duplicates and irrelevant studies, the review encompassed six studies from Iran, Turkey, Canada, the United States, and Thailand. Results: The search strategy yielded 1100 articles, of which 100 were excluded due to duplicates. After excluding conference papers, systematic reviews, unrelated languages, unavailable full texts, and book chapters, 87 full-text studies were reviewed. Finally, 6 studies (5 studies in English and one study in Persian) met the inclusion criteria and were analyzed. Conclusions: Recent trials have shown that the effect of ketamine administration on the incidence of delirium after coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery is equivocal. While some studies suggest that ketamine may serve as a promising solution for reducing the incidence of delirium, others suggest that it may lead to adverse experiences and raise concerns about its safety. Further research in this area is necessary to optimize postoperative recovery and minimize risks. Currently, physicians must carefully evaluate the potential benefits and side effects of ketamine for each patient and be aware of the latest evidence.

Authors: Noori Noor Mohammad , Teimouri Alireza , Salimi Asl Ali , Rajaei Shahrokh
Published: June 2024

Background: Arterial stiffness is recognized as a critical indicator of cardiac disorders. Objectives: This study aimed to compare aortic stiffening between children with type I diabetes mellitus (DMTI) and healthy children. Methods: This case-control study included 192 children, with 96 individuals in each group of DMTI and healthy controls. The diameter of the aorta in systole and diastole was measured using M-mode echocardiography. Aortic elasticity measures were assessed, including aortic strain, aortic stiffness beta index (ASβI), arterial distensibility (AD), and pressure strain elastic modulus. Data were analyzed using SPSS 20, with a significance level set at P < 0.05. Results: The participants had a mean age of 10.87 ± 3.46 years in the DMTI group and 10.77 ± 2.82 years in the control group (P = 0.579). Diastolic (P = 0.005) and systolic (P < 0.001) aortic diameters were significantly higher in children with DMTI. ASβI (12.70 ± 15.15 vs. 8.77 ± 17.46, P < 0.001) and pressure strain elastic modulus (8.92 ± 12.03 vs. 7.24 ± 14.34, P = 0.030) appeared to be higher in healthy children, while AD (0.08 ± 0.06 vs. 0.13 ± 0.09, P < 0.001) and aortic strain (7.78 ± 6.32 vs. 11.98 ± 9.1, P < 0.001) showed a significant lower amount in children with DMTI. However, no significant differences were shown in the elasticity parameters based on hemoglobin A1c levels or duration of diabetes (P > 0.05). Conclusions: Children with DMTI exhibited higher ASβI and pressure strain elastic modulus, as well as lower aortic strain and AD, compared to healthy children. The type of diabetes control and duration of diabetes did not significantly affect the stiffening parameters in children with DMTI.

Published: June 2024

Background: The factors responsible for the progression of COVID-19 from a mild illness to a severe and often lethal condition, characterized by respiratory failure and multiple organ involvement, remain unclear. The identification of biomarkers capable of predicting disease progression is of the highest importance. Objectives: This study sought to assess laboratory measurements of interferon-gamma inducible protein-10 (IP-10), macrophage inflammatory protein 1-alpha (MIP1α), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and interleukin-1 beta (IL-1β) to achieve this objective. Methods: We measured IP-10 and MIP1α by qRT-PCR and IL-6 and IL-1β using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay in 120 serum samples. We analyzed differences between patients with moderate, severe, and recovered COVID-19. Results: The number of positive cases for biomarkers IP-10, MIP1α, IL-6, and IL-1β were significantly different between groups. The expression levels of IP-10 and MIP1α were significantly higher in patients with severe COVID-19 compared to those who had recovered. A strong positive association was observed between IP-10 and MIP1α in severe infection cases. Additionally, these biomarkers were relatively independent predictors of disease severity. Conclusions: The results suggest that IP-10, MIP1α, IL-6, and IL-1β are promising research candidates for understanding the severity of COVID-19 and for investigating possible pathophysiological mechanisms of the disease.

Fugitive Ethics with Adam Smith in Beijing
Authors: HE Chuan
Published: June 2024

This paper lays out the parameters of the term “ethical” itself, distinguishing the ethical from the moral. I then construe ethical experience by reflecting upon interviews with workers and student at a Beijing high school. Ethical life is the degree of recognition of the life these subjects gain through participating in a sociocultural life with other free and equal selves. Such recognition fails in the ideal, engendering the ethical experience of performative contradictions. I attend closely to the interviewees’ rational transitions—their ways of reasoning and understanding experiences—not as they follow logical ideals, but as material inferences arising from their lived experience. As they manifest wishes for a better world, I reflect on their cognition of a participatory life inside and outside of China, which limits a conceptual scheme implying forms of curricular practice that acknowledge, protect, and foster the integrity of injurable selves in an environment of injurable others.
Axiological Ethics for Global Education
Authors: Haist Gordon
Published: June 2024

What implications does globalism have for education? Marx wrote of human nature abstracted and money “alienated” through credit and exchange value, and Habermas noted that class antagonism has shifted to consumer fetishism. These are clues to broader axiological issues at play, and this paper argues that the qualitative nature of value calls for situational and creative approaches rather than objective and subjective theories. Jacques Derrida’s critique of globalization is examined because it requires scrutiny over the concept of hospitality and calls for a new media-informed public space. An inclusively-driven public space requires a rethinking of values across differences. Globalization above all requires an axiological framework which would provide education with an important public purpose. Following Calvin Schrag’s philosophy of communicative praxeology, that purpose would be to teach transversal reasoning to create situational values apart from the materially driven global expansionism and resulting natural and social crises that are now upon us.
Globalisation and Cultural Diversity in the Finnish School Curriculum
Authors: Lehtonen Tommi
Published: June 2024

The purpose of this article is to explore and analyse how globalisation and cultural diversi-ty are addressed in the Finnish national curriculum for comprehensive school. The study focuses on both the broad considerations of globalisation and cultural diversity as well as the unique challenges of various school subjects in addressing these topics. The analysis is particularly concerned with the ethical implications of the curriculum’s perspectives on globalisation and cultural diversity. The overarching conclusion is that the Finnish curricu-lum represents a kind of mixed model of ethics in which utilitarian considerations are em-phasised but refined with duty-ethical considerations arising from universal human rights.

Authors: Rajesh Babu Y.T. , Prathamanjali S. , Ashok Rama Raju B. , Ramalakshmana J. , S.B. Padal Prof.
Published: June 2024

The incidence of cancer is steadily rising, making it one of the top causes of mortality in the world today. In many developing countries, including India, medicinal plants have been used to treat cancer and serve as an alternative to synthetic drugs known for their harmful side effects. The main objective of this review was to highlight the anticancer properties of 50 medicinal plants found in India. The review discussed the proposed anticancer pharmacological effects of these plants along with the specific bioactive compounds responsible for their anticancer effects. These plants have been found to inhibit various types of cancers such as prostate, lung,cervical,esophagus, skin,ovary, colon, blood, brain, breast,and kidney cancers. The molecular, physiological nature of cancer, stages of cancer proliferation and metastasis, different types of anticancer activity screening techniques and modern methods of cancer treatment were also discussed. Bioactive compounds identified in medicinal plants include polyphenols, flavonoids, alkaloids, saponins, triterpenes, tannins and quinones. Several major anticancer pharmacological effects have been attributed to these compounds, such as antiproliferative, cytotoxic, apoptotic, and antioxidant effects. Additionally, they have been found to induce cell cycle arrest, inhibit angiogenesis, and reduce cancer cell viability. In conclusion, the promising anticancer activity shown by the medicinal plants investigated in this study suggests that they have significant potential as a source of future readily available and affordable anticancer drugs in India. By exploring these natural alternatives, the adverse effects associated with synthetic drugs could be alleviated, offering new hope in the fight against cancer.

Published: June 2024

Mosquito act as a vector of several deadly diseases causing illnesses and continues to pose a huge hazard to international public fitness and socio-financial development. Mosquito-borne sicknesses are infections caused due to microorganisms like virus, protozoa or other parasites which might be transmitted to humans through mosquito bites. Each year, nearly 700 million people suffer from mosquito borne illnesses leading to the loss of life of nearly 725,000 people globally. As we are all aware that the order diptera is the most structurally developed order with insects gaining resistance development against pesticides. Further, these insects can quickly adapt to diverse environments and have excessive reproduction rates. Hence, there's an urgency to develop innovative management techniques for this notorious vector. The chapter discusses some of the novel techniques of mosquito control like biocontrol techniques, genetic amendment strategies along with CRISPR/Cas9 technology, wolbachia strategies, sterile insect method, use of deterrents and repellents and many others. Overall the chapter highlights the importance of using numerous processes for mosquito control. The challenges and limitations confronted inside the quest for effective mosquito management are discussed in conjunction with ethical concerns associated with genetically changed mosquitoes.

Authors: Kumar Reddy C Sateesh , Billa Dr. Poornaiah
Published: June 2024

The second most prevalent brain disorder, epilepsy, is caused by an unanticipated shift in neurons during a seizure. Due to the inaccuracy and length of time associated with traditional seizure detection methods, an automatic seizure detection methodology is necessary for primary diagnosis and treatment. In this regard, presents a novel time-frequency seizure detection technique with two distinct properties. The intrinsic mode functions (IMF) levels of the empirical mode decomposition (EMD) are used to calculate the two characteristics. To further distinguish between people experiencing seizures and those who are healthy, the support vector machine (SVM) is optimized using a marginal sampling technique. The effectiveness of various classification techniques, including naive Bayes (NB), decision trees (DT), and K-nearest neighbors (KNN), has been compared with the suggested method.

Published: June 2024

When an image obtained contains faults such as noise, poor quality, or a bad visual impression to the eyes. To improve the aesthetic appeal, we need to apply image enhancement. Goal of an image enhancement is to eliminate the flaws from an image while retaining the crucial features. Studies proposed the various types of improvement procedures that had the favourable outcomes. In this approach, we just combine the Differential Evolution DE method along with the Adaptive Gamma Correction [19] through the Weighted Distribution AGCWD to form a new hybrid method known as Optimised Gamma Correction through the Weighted Distribution OGCWD. The proposed method it is an automated modification operation which attempts to increase the image brightness. Terms like Structural Similarity Index (SSIM), Mean Square Error (MSE) as well as Peak Signal to Noise Ratio(PSNR), the proposed OGCWD algorithm gives the contemporary image improvement approaches.

Many of the Physical, Astrophysical, Statistical, and Mathematical problems can be solved by using the allied special functions. Specifically, various multiple hypergeometric series and reduction formulae can be applied to solve such problems. The aim of the present chapter is to derive certain classes of the reduction formulae for the Srivastava–Daoust type doublehypergeometric series. To prove these reductions, we use one of the extension results on the Bailey transform developed and studied by Joshi and Vyas in 2005.We also obtain some well–known formulae, e.g. the Kampé de Fériet reduction formula, the Euler transformation formula and Whipple’s quadratic transformation formula, on particularization of some reduction formulae. 2020 Mathematics Subject Classification. 33C05; 33C15; 33C65

A hidden realm of microbial interactions is revealed in the shadowy recesses of the Dark Web, upending the prevalent wisdom on microbial ecology. This chapter explores the mysterious subject of cryptic microbial interactions and looks at its ramifications and importance in several domains. Within the secretive and encrypted realm of the Dark Web, cryptic microbiological interactions take place. These interactions involve intricate webs of microbes collaborating, competing, and exchanging information. Wide-ranging effects result from these interactions, including ecological and biotechnological applications, as well as medicinal strategies and insights into evolution (Moran MA et al., 2016). The notion of cryptic microbial interactions—which may be found on the Dark Web—is introduced in this chapter along with its importance in ecology, microbiology, and cybersecurity. While addressing ethical and privacy problems, it emphasizes the need to investigate these interactions in order to comprehend their potential in diverse domains. Along with highlighting the significance of quorum sensing, cryptic communication, and quorum quenching, the chapter also addresses the role of chemical signaling in cryptic interactions. Specialized communities and ecosystems are shaped via cryptic signaling (Vacher C et al., 2016). The Dark Web is home to covert cooperative behaviors that support the resilience of microorganisms, like mutualistic symbioses and covert collaboration in the manufacturing of antibiotics. Secretive antagonistic relationships affect microbial communities, ecological dynamics, and the balance of nature. Examples include cryptic competition and antibiotic warfare. The competitive dynamics, environmental conditions, and resource availability are impacted by these interactions. Developing creative solutions for agriculture, environmental preservation, and human health requires an understanding of complex interconnections (McGivern BB et al., 2021). The chapter examines how biotechnology, synthetic biology, biocontrol, microbial manipulation, and medication development may benefit from an understanding of cryptic microbial interactions. It emphasizes responsible research and ethical considerations while highlighting obstacles and future perspectives in crypto-microbiology. This chapter offers a thorough investigation of the microbiological world of the Dark Web (McGivern BB et al., 2021).

Published: June 2024

Obesity and type 2 diabetes (T2D) are major global health concerns, with rising prevalence over the world. Both conditions pose substantial cardiovascular disease (CVD) riskand cardiometabolic complications. Traditional glycaemic control in T2D has been challenging, leading to glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1RA) development like semaglutide. Semaglutide, with its longer half-life, offers administration on a weekly basis and has shown efficacy in reducing weight and CVD risk. Semaglutide enhances the action of incretin via stimulating GLP-1 receptors, leading to increased insulin secretion, decreased hepatic gluconeogenesis and decreased glucagon release. It also promotes weight loss through decreased energy intake and delayed gastric motility. Obesity and T2D have adverse effects on the immune and thromboembolic systems, increasing the risk of infections and CVD. Weight reduction can significantly improve metabolic function and reduce diabetes comorbidities. Semaglutide, with its favorable pharmacokinetics and efficacy, provides a valuable treatment option in managing obesity and reducing cardiovascular risk in diabetic patients. However, it is essential to consider potential adverse effects and individual patient factors when prescribing semaglutide for optimal outcomes.
