Authors: Awwad Waleed M. , Alabdulkarim Nouf H. , Alhaidri Nojood E.
Published: July 2021

Objectives:

Neck pain is the fourth leading cause of disability. The most common validated tool assessing its effect on the participant’s functional status is the neck disability index (NDI). We aimed to investigate the factorial structure of the Arabic NDI (NDI-Ar) using exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) in a multioccupational sample.

Methods:

A cross-sectional study conducted in Saudi Arabia. A total of 641 participants completed the NDI-Ar. The Cronbach’s alpha test was used to test the reliability of the questionnaire. Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) was used to assess the existing factor structure within the 10-indicator NDI questionnaire. Parallel analysis (PA) and scree plot with the unidimensional congruence test, mean of item residual absolute loadings test, and explained common variance test were used to assess the number of the extractable factors and their unidimensionality. CFA was also carried out.

Results:

EFA of the NDI-Ar suggested the presence of two-factor solutions. However, the analysis with the tests of closeness to unidimensionality, PA tests, and the more rigorous CFA indicated that the two-factor solutions were not tenable, and a single latent factor solution is a better fit with the observed data measured on Middle Eastern people.

Conclusion:

The present study explored the factorial structure of the NDI-Ar. The two-factor solutions were not tenable and a single latent factor solution might be a better fit.

Published: July 2021

Objectives:

Pelvis fractures (PF) and acetabular fractures (AF) are major challenges in orthopedics. Epidemiological figures are not available for Kuwait, making it difficult to evaluate the success of future plans. This study aimed to analyze the epidemiology of pelvis and AF in Kuwait.

Methods:

A retrospective cross-sectional design was used by reviewing the Database of PF and AF of level II trauma center, Kuwait.

Results:

From October 2018 to September 2019, 2046 patients were admitted to the orthopedic wards of our hospital. PF prevalence was 3.66%; mean age (standard deviation) was 37.56 (18.09) years, and 74.5% were men. AF prevalence was 1.71%; mean age was 28.08 (17.77) years, and 71.6% were men. The most frequent mechanism of injury was motor vehicle accidents. Using the OTA/AO classification, the most frequent fracture of the PF was B1.1 fractures at 60.7%, and A1 fractures for AF at 80.0%. PF and AF were associated with other injuries in 54.4% and 38.2%, respectively. In terms of management, 24.3% of the patients with PF were managed operatively and the reported complications were metal failure (2.7%), post-operative infection (1.4%), and wound dehiscence (1.4%). The management of AF was operative in 54.3%, and the identified complication was only metal failure (2.9%). The mortality of PF was 2.7% and 0.0% for AF. Variables related to the ICU length of stay, mortality, and postoperative complications were explored.

Conclusion:

The epidemiological figures explored could help determine PF and AF’s burden in Kuwait and direct future management and preventive plans.
A study on confidence indexes in Turkey under structural breaks for the period covering the Covid-19 Pandemic
Authors: KILCI Esra N.
Published: July 2021

The most important feature of confidence indicators is probably the information they provide about the major determinants of consumption, production, and investment decisions. As they indicate future patterns of consumption, production, and investments, many economic agents including households, businesses, and central banks integrate these indicators into their processes of forecasting and decision-making. In this context, confidence indexes, which are used basically to assess the expectations of households and businesses regarding the economic outlook, have the power to reflect the changes in macroeconomic fundamentals. The key objective of this paper is to analyze the trend of confidence indexes for Turkey from 2012:05 through 2020:09. In this study, we employ the Carrion-i Silvestre et al. (2009) unit root test which accounts for multiple structural breaks to test the stationary of the consumer, financial services, and real sector confidence indexes. We find that the financial and real sector confidence indexes have a stable trend, while the consumer confidence index does not have a consistent pattern in the relevant period. Our analysis also provides information regarding the dates of structural breaks.

The issue of language education is one of the most delicate human issues. It is very relevant to the social and political history of society and is also one of the issues imposed by human reality. It is also one of the issues that has intensified the differences between linguists and psychologists in the ways of acquiring them. Perhaps there are things that stand in front of the acquisition of the second language, language is not a neutral system or a tool to be used in a timely manner or in a generation and that’s it, but is a language with its luster and heritage and attractiveness, what are the factors that stand in front of the acquisition of the second language? Is there a real conflict between languages ​​affecting the acquisition of language in children? What are the most important stages of growth in children and their relation to linguistic development? In fact, there is a difference between mother tongue, second language and foreign language, differentiating between these concepts will make it easier for us to reach the appropriate age to acquire the language. The reason is that the acquisition or learning of any language stems from the goals related to the life of the individual, whether professional, economic or social. The bilingual issue raises an important question: Are the two linguistic systems of the human brain separate or connected?

Firstly, on the political level, Al-Kharj is considered one of the most hostile cities in Diriyah for years, and it occurred in many wars, before it submitted. Secondly, on the economic level, Al-Kharj has two advantages that it is less likely to combine with others: the first is that it is an agricultural oasis famous for its abundance of water, fertility of its soil and good harvests, and the second is that it occupies a unique location that made it a passage for pilgrimage and trade caravans. Thirdly, on the scientific level, Al-Kharj, according to the sources and references available to us, witnessed jurisprudential diversity prior to its accession to the Saudi state, but it was not an active scientific center, and perhaps the future reveals to us secrets that we do not know and contradict our understanding.

The discussion sheds light on the conception or understanding of the national language of two prominent personalities of the 16th-century Reformation: the German reformer Martin Luther and the Slovene Protestant and most important reformer Primož Trubar. For both authors, language serves as a basic tool for preaching the gospel in their mother tongues. They accomplish this by translating the Bible, and they each in their own way justify the use of the mother tongue as the means through which the Spirit of God is embodied. Both Luther and Trubar consolidate the biblical text in early modern European languages: Luther in the New High German and Trubar in the Slovene language, which had not appeared in books until the publication of his printed texts. Both authors developed their own language programme that can be compared and from which both Protestants’ view on language can be discerned, which was based on the realization that God used languages when he wanted the gospel to spread among all people.

Credit risk management has become a must in this era due to the increase in the number of businesses defaulting. Building upon the legacy of Kealhofer, McQuown, and Vasicek (KMV), a mathematical model is introduced based on Merton model called KMV-Merton model to predict the credit risk of firms. The KMV-Merton model is commonly used in previous default studies but is said to be lacking in necessary detail. Hence, this study aims to combine the KMV-Merton model with the financial ratios to determine the firms’ credit scores and ratings. Based on the sample data of four firms, the KMV-Merton model is used to estimate the default probabilities. The data is also used to estimate the firms’ liquidity, solvency, indebtedness, return on asset (ROA), and interest coverage. According to the weightages established in this analysis, scores were assigned based on those estimates to calculate the total credit score. The firms were then given a rating based on their respective credit score. The credit ratings are compared to the real credit ratings rated by Malaysian Rating Corporation Berhad (MARC). According to the comparison, three of the four companies have credit scores that are comparable to MARC’s. Two A-rated firms and one D-rated firm have the same ratings. The other receives a C instead of a B. This shows that the credit scoring technique used can grade the low and the high credit risk firms, but not strictly for a firm with a medium level of credit risk. Although research on credit scoring have been done previously, the combination of KMV-Merton model and financial ratios in one credit scoring model based on the calculated weightages gives new branch to the current studies. In practice, this study aids risk managers, bankers, and investors in making wise decisions through a smooth and persuasive process of monitoring firms’ credit risk.

Published: July 2021

The conversion of citronellal into isopulegol is a key route in the production of a number of important chemicals. In the perspective of green conversion, the use of a heterogeneous catalyst is superior due to its ease in separation and reusability, so it facilitates a highly economical conversion. In this review, we examine the use of some transition metals in cyclization reactions, which are suitable for citronellal conversion into isopulegol, and consider the potential progress in clay-based catalysts. The structure of clay which potentially provides the porosity by modification and supporting active metal is proposed to be the low-cost catalyst for the conversion. As other mechanism by porous materials-supported metal, the porosity of clay support contributes to conduct thesurface adsorption mechanism and the Broensted acid supply, meanwhile the metal acts as active site for cyclization, and in the one-pot conversion into menthol, as both cyclization and hydrogenation.

The use of activated charcoal from sawdust as an adsorbent of tetracycline hydrochloride compounds has been successfully carried out. Sawdust activated charcoal was carbonized at 450°C for 40 minutes with a charcoal size of 100 mesh and activated using H3PO4 solution. The characteristics of active sawdust charcoal showed that water content, iodine adsorption, and methylene blue adsorption had met SNI 06-3730-1995 regarding technical activated charcoal. Testing the morphology of charcoal using a Scanning Electron Microscope showed that the charcoal pores were opened through the activation process. In the functional group analysis test using infrared spectroscopy, the active group contained in charcoal after being activated contained carbon atoms that were purer than sawdust. The adsorption process of tetracycline hydrochloride using sawdust activated charcoal is known to follow Ho orPseudo second-order (K = 0.0039 g/mg.min), while the adsorption isotherm follows the Langmuir equation, KL = 0.0076 L/mg and adsorption capacity amounting to 242.1307 mg/g. Thermodynamically, the adsorption process occurs not spontaneously with a Gibbs free energy value of 120.8949 kJ/mol and occurs by chemisorption.

The antibiotic resistance of phatogenic bacteria has become a serious health problem and has encouraged the search for novel and effective antimicrobial metabolites. Meanwhile, endophytic fungi have great potential as a natural source for antimicrobial agents. The endophytic fungi that live in plant tissue produces secondary metabolites which potentially act as an antibacterial compound. The isolation of fungi for antibacterial sources reduces the large amount of plant as a source of antibacterial agents. Hence, this study aims to obtain endophytic fungi isolates from Paederia foetida L. that are capable of producing secondary metabolites as antibacterial, carry out in vitro tests to verify the antibacterial properties of secondary metabolites of the Paederia foetida L. endophytic fungi, and identify the potential of Paederia foetida L. endophytic fungi in producing antibacterial compounds. The antibacterial activity was tested against Escherichia coli ATCC8739 and Staphylococcus aureus ATCC6538 while seven isolates of endophytic fungi that potentially produced antibacterial were obtained from Sembukan (P. foetida L.). The results showed that antibacterial activities of SL1, SL4 and SL6 secondary metabolites against S. aureus ATCC6538 and E. coli ATCC8739 were moderate to strong activities. Furthermore, the Minimum Inhibition Concentration (MIC) of secondary metabolites extract of SL1 against S. aureus ATCC6538 value was 250 ????g/mL while the values of MIC extract of SL4 against S. aureus ATCC6538 and E. coli ATCC8739 were 125 ????g/mL and 250 ????g/mL respectively and MIC extract of SL6 against E. coli ATCC8739 value was 125 ????g/mL. The secondary metabolites extract of SL1 isolate were alkaloid and tannin, SL4 were phenolic and alkaloid while SL6 isolate were alkaloid and terpenoid. Hence, endophytic fungi SL1 isolate was identified as Fusarium sp., SL4 as Dematophora sp., and SL6 isolate as Acremonium sp.

The development of layered double hydroxide materials into composites with carbon-based materials in the form of CaAl-Biochar and MgAl-Biochar has been successfully carried out. The success parameters of the preparation process include XRD, FT-IR, Adsorption-Desorption N2, SEM, and TG-DTA. The success through XRD is evidenced by the appearance of the typical diffraction peaks of double-layer hydroxy around 2???? = 11°(003), 20°(006), and 60°(113). In addition, there is diffraction around 22°(002) which is the typical diffraction of biochar. FT-IR analysis showed successful preparation in the presence of functional groups around 1381cm−1 which indicated nitrate vibrations from double-layer hydroxy. Another spectrum that also appears on 1103 cm−1 is a characteristic of biochar (???? Si-O-Si). Adsorption-Desorption N2 analysis showed that the surface area data of 2 −1 2 −1 CaAl-Biochar was greater than MgAl-Biochar, which were 150.987 m .g and 111,404 m .g , respectively. The adsorption capacity of CaAl-Biochar reached 588.235 mg.g−1 and 426.316 mg.g−1 for MgAl-Biochar. The adsorbent materials of CaAl, MgAl, Biochar, CaAl-Biochar, and MgAl-Biochar tend to follow the Langmuir isotherm model with adsorption processes that tend to be spontaneous. The results of regeneration of the composite material lasted up to 5 cycles. The first cycle of CaAl-Biochar reached 96.647% to 82.666% in the last cycle, while MgAl-Biochar reached 90.885% in the first cycle to 73.454% in the last cycle.
