Resonant tunneling frequency and current in a nanostructured diode with a two-fold right triangular barrier
Authors: Elabsy A. M.
Published: September 2024

The resonant tunneling frequency and electric current were studied in a nanostructured diode containing a two-fold symmetrical right triangular barrier made of AlyGa1-yAs/GaAs/AlyGa1-yAs semiconductors. The complex energy method was employed to determine the quasi-energy states, utilizing varying effective masses. The resonant tunneling energy decreased exponentially with increasing well width when the barrier thickness was fixed. Keeping the well width and barrier thickness constant and increasing the aluminum concentration, decreases the resonant tunneling frequency while increasing the resonant tunneling energy. The resonant tunneling frequency was increased to a higher terahertz range by reducing the barrier thickness and well width. Wider wells and thicker barriers result in lower resonant frequencies. The resonant tunneling current was analyzed and found to be significantly influenced by the diode parameters, including aluminum content, well width, and barrier thickness in the collector region. The resonant tunneling current behavior aligned well with previous literature findings. It is noted that the structural features of the nanostructured diode, which has a two-fold symmetrical right triangular barrier, can be adjusted to function within the targeted frequency range and the peak tunneling current.
MUHAMMAD ASAD’S POLITICAL THEORY REVISITED: Epistemological Review on Contemporary Islamic Politics in Global South
Authors: Nabil Ahmad Amir
Published: September 2024

The article examines Muhammad Asad’s epistemological ground, reflected in his works on the principle of Islamic governance and its basic constitution and foundational structure. In this regard, he formulated the constitutional ideas of the Islamic state, whose constitution contains the provision of Islamic law that practices and implements the norms and postulates of the Divine Writ. This idea was partly enshrined in some of Global South constitutional law, whose political establishment was formed in 1947. It essentially discussed Muhammad Asad’s political ideas and their underlying philosophy as espoused in his works. The work was conducted using qualitative approaches to library research. The data were analyzed using descriptive, analytical, and comparative techniques. The finding shows that Muhammad Asad had formulated a comprehensive theoretical framework of the legal aspect of Islamic governance drawn up from the fundamental principle and doctrine of the sharia and its moral norms deriving from the Qur’anic and the sunnah bases while advocating democratic ideals and principles based on conventional practice and requirement of the modern context of the nation-state.
Reexamination of the structure of nanomineral opal-CT using synchrotron X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, X-ray scattering structure factor and pair distribution function analyses
Authors: Lee Seungyeol , Xu Huifang , Xu Hongwu , Xu Wenqian
Published: September 2024

Nanomineral opal-CT is a natural precursor to quartz formed by a variety of geological processes, including weathering, biological precipitation, hydrothermal alteration and shock metamorphism. These processes play a crucial role in the formation of siliceous rocks as well as abiotic and biogenic interactions in natural systems. Hydrous opal-CT was recently found on the surfaces of Mars and the Moon by microanalyses and remote sensing, which has led to further investigation into the characteristics of opal-CT. In this work, we have investigated the local structures of natural opal-CT samples with various degrees of crystallinity using a combination of synchrotron X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray scattering structure factor S(Q) analysis, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and pair distribution function (PDF) analysis. The combined results indicate that opal-CT is mainly composed of interstratified tridymite and cristobalite nanodomains with twins and stacking faults. S(Q) patterns are used to delineate the XRD data of opal-CT samples, which provide more precise peak profiles, allowing for better determination of the degree of ordering. TEM images and selected-area electron diffraction (SAED) patterns directly show nanodomain structures with planar defects. X-ray PDF analysis is a powerful characterization tool that can further unveil local structures, defects, and crystallinity in opal-CT. The rise in ordered domain size and two peaks at 10.01 Å and 11.16 Å in G(r) plot reflect the increase in the amount of cristobalite units and crystallinity. Both four- and eight-membered [SiO4] rings are created by twinning and stacking faults of the tridymite and cristobalite domains. X-ray PDF analysis provides unique insights into the local structures, crystalline sizes, and ordering degree of opal-CT. Quantifying the crystallinity of natural opals is important to understanding the diagenetic processes of opals and the associated diatomaceous clays in sedimentary formations.

Trends on Novel Targets and Nanotechnology-Based Drug Delivery System in the Treatment of Parkinson's disease: Recent Advancement in Drug Development
Authors: Majumdar Manisha , Badwaik Hemant
Published: September 2024

:

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disease (ND) that affects many people.
However, there remains no cure for PD and difficulties exist with conventional medicines. There
has been a lot of discussion about using nanotechnology to increase the bioavailability of smallmolecule
drugs to target cells in recent years. It is possible that PD treatment might become far
more effective and have fewer side effects if medication delivery mechanisms were to be improved.
Potential alternatives to pharmacological therapy for molecular imaging and treatment of
PD may lie in abnormal proteins such as parkin, α-synuclein, leucine-rich repeat serine and threonine
protein kinase 2. Published research has demonstrated encouraging outcomes when
nanomedicine-based approaches are used to address the challenges of PD therapy. So, to address
the present difficulties of antiparkinsonian treatment, this review outlines the key issues and limitations
of antiparkinsonian medications, new therapeutic strategies, and the breadth of delivery
based on nanomedicine. This review covers a wide range of subjects, including drug distribution
in the brain, the efficacy of drug-loaded nano-carriers in crossing the blood-brain barrier, and their
release profiles. In PD, the nano-carriers are also used. Novel techniques of pharmaceutical delivery
are currently made possible by vesicular carriers, which eliminate the requirement to cross the
blood-brain barrier (BBB).
Bilateral Symmetrical Mandibular Canines with Two Roots and Two Separate Canals: A Case Report and Literature Review
Authors: Zhang Qiushi , Ran Xiaohong , Zhao Ying , Qin Kaiqi , Zhang Yifan , Cui Jing , Yang Yanwei
Published: September 2024

Background:

The permanent canine usually has a single root and a single root canal. A one-rooted canine with two canals or a canine with two roots and two
separate canals may also occur at a lower incidence in the permanent dentition. However, bilateral symmetrical mandibular canines with two roots
and two separate canals are less common.

Case Presentation:

This study reported a lower incidence case of bilateral symmetrical mandibular canines with two roots and two separate canals, which was found
based on a CBCT examinaton. The patient visited our department and was consulted for orthodontic treatment due to the irregularity of her lower
anterior teeth. As the abnormal root morphology of bilateral mandibular canines greatly increased the difficulty of orthodontic treatment, the
patient finally gave up orthodontic treatment after communication.

Conclusion:

This case report provides supplementary data to better understand the complexities of the root canal system of canines.
Labial Traumatic Diseases
Authors: Murgia Martina Salvatorina , Orrù Germano , Casu Cinzia
Published: September 2024

The oral tissues, for obvious anatomical reasons, are exposed to continuous
mechanical and inflammatory traumatic insults. Both reactive and pure traumatic
hyperplastic injuries have been dealt with in this chapter. Reactive hyperplastic lesions
are tumor-like hyperplasias caused by a tumor-like non-neoplastic proliferation due to
chronic irritative stimuli. The most common reactive lesions include morsicatio
labiorum, buccarum and traumatic fibroma. Among the purely traumatic ones,
hematoma, ecchymosis and mucocele (affecting the minor salivary glands) stand out.
These lesions can be generalized to large areas of the mucous membrane of the oral
cavity or localized as solitary neoformations. Furthermore, according to the clinical
aspect, they can be divided into plain (e.g., keratosis), exophytic (e.g., mucocele and
fibroma) and endophytic (e.g., traumatic ulcers). Reactive traumatic injuries often
present diagnostic challenges because they mimic other pathologies of a non-traumatic
nature.
Labial Potentially Malignant Disorders and Cancer
Authors: Murgia Martina Salvatorina , Orrù Germano , Casu Cinzia
Published: September 2024

Labial potentially malignant disorders of the oral cavity are one of the main
risk factors for the onset of oral cancer. Oral cancer now accounts for 3-5% of
malignant tumors in Western world statistics. For this reason, the treatment of
precancerous diseases of the oral cavity assumes an undeniable importance in
preventing the onset of this pathology. Pre-cancers of the oral cavity include the forms
with the highest risk of malignant transformation (erythroplasia, homogeneous and
non-homogeneous leukoplakia) and the other forms with a low index of malignant
transformation (lichen planus, oral submucosal fibrosis, leucoplakia, and chronic
hyperplastic candidiasis). The cause of the onset of the precancerous oral cavity is
unknown, but there are usually some risk factors that, alone or in combination, play an
action favoring the appearance of the mucosal lesion. The main risk factors for
precancerous lesions in the oral cavity are tobacco, alcohol, chronic local trauma, poor
oral hygiene, chronic dietary and vitamin deficiencies, exposure to diagnostic and
therapeutic ionizing radiation, viral and fungal infections and immunological factors. In
this chapter, we will focus on actinic cheilitis, an extremely common precancerous
condition of the lips, and oral cancer.

A Deep Dive Into the Success of Joint Village-Owned Enterprises (Joint-BUMDes) in Indonesia: An Interpretive Structural Modeling (ISM) Approach
Authors: Sari Agni , Ilham Teguh
Published: September 2024

The establishment of Joint Village-Owned Enterprises (Joint-BUMDes) presents an opportunity to create a collaborative network among villages, addressing the challenge of hindered business growth commonly faced by single-village enterprises. Therefore, this research aims to explore and analyze key enablers of Joint-BUMDes development using an interpretive structural modeling (ISM) approach and provide strategic recommendations for their growth. Based on a literature review and semi-structured interviews with nine informants, nine enablers were identified. These served as the basis for constructing a questionnaire distributed to three respondents who were purposely selected to establish contextual relationships. The ISM analysis prioritized interventions based on Quadrants III and IV enablers from the MICMAC analysis and the highest levels in the ISM interaction model. Key enablers include the village chief's political influence, managerial and technical skills, leadership characteristics, government support, equality in capabilities among villages, and the founding initiative. The conclusion is that political and management factors predict the success of Joint-BUMDes and influence other factors. Therefore, addressing these enablers is crucial for successfully developing Joint-BUMDes in Indonesia. Apart from these practical implications, this study enriches the literature on social enterprises in Indonesia, which has thus far been limited to single village BUMDes and fragmented in analyzing influencing factors.

In total, 5 databases (Scopus, SocINDEX, PsycINFO, Compendex, and Inspec Archive) were searched for relevant scholarly articles published between January 2005 and October 2023. The gray literature was searched using Google and Google Scholar search engines. The results were reported using the PRISMA-ScR (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses Extension for Scoping Reviews) guidelines. For summarizing the features and users’ experiences of the apps, a published framework for evaluating the quality of mobile health apps for youth was used.

Results

A total of 1986 articles were identified, and 41 (2.1%) were included in the review. Nine personal safety apps were captured and categorized into 4 groups based on the goals of the apps, as follows: dating and sexual violence prevention (n=4, 44% of apps), bullying and school violence prevention (n=2, 22% of apps), self-harm and suicide prevention (n=2, 22% of apps), and homeless youth support (n=1, 11% of apps). Of the 41 articles, 25 (61%) provided data solely on app descriptions and features, while the remaining 16 (39%) articles provided data on app evaluations and descriptions. Outcomes focused on app engagement, users’ experiences, and effectiveness. Four articles reported on app use, 3 (75%) of which reported relatively high app use. Data on users’ experience were obtained from 13 studies. In general, participants found the app features to be easy to use and useful as educational resources and personal safety tools. Most of the views were positive. Negative perceptions included redundancy of app features and a lack of usefulness. Five apps were evaluated for effectiveness (n=2, 40% dating and sexual violence prevention; n=2, 40% self-harm and suicide prevention; and n=1, 20% bullying and school violence prevention) and were all associated with a statistically significant reduction (P=.001 to .048) in harm or risk to participants at the 95% CI.

Conclusions

Although many personal safety apps are available, few studies have specifically evaluated those designed for youth. However, the evidence suggests that mobile safety apps generally appear to be beneficial for reducing harm to at-risk children and youth without any associated adverse events. Recommendations for future research have been made to strengthen the evidence and increase the availability of effective personal safety apps for children and youth.

BACKGROUND

Executive function (EF) is a set of explicit (top-down) cognitive abilities theorized to assist in conscious control of eating behavior. However, it is unclear whether EF training can alter attitudes and perceptions of nutrient-poor foods, and consumption of those foods while concurrently improving valuation of, and consumption of nutrient-dense foods.

OBJECTIVE

The primary objective is to determine the efficacy of a web-based EF training program designed to concurrently improve attitudes, perceptions, and consumption of nutrient-dense foods (i.e., fruits, vegetables) while worsening the same of nutrient-poor foods (i.e., candy, fried snacks).

METHODS

Participants will include a U.S. nationally representative sample (n=500) of men and women aged 18–70 years with a BMI between 18.5–38 kg/m2. Participants will be randomized to EF training via a suite of four web-based games that promotes responding to fruits and vegetables and inhibits responses to nutrient poor foods and trains attention toward the former and away from the latter or sham training that involves images of flowers and songbirds. Training will occur at least twice per week. EF will be tested before and after 8-weeks of training. Dietary intake will be measured before and after the 8-week intervention.

RESULTS

Group and sex differences in frequencies of participants violating inhibitory signals will be assessed with log-linear models. Linear mixed effects models will test whether web-based EF training improves EF as measured via response inhibition and attention during computer-based game play (training). The independent and interactive associations of inhibitory and attentional learning on consumption of nutrient-poor foods will be tested with mixed model regression. If random assignment results in baseline imbalances across conditions on any variables, they will be used as covariates in the mixed models. Analyses will be both ‘intent to treat’ utilizing (restricted) maximum likelihood estimation and ‘completer’ to understand the results from those participants who completed the training at least twice per week.

CONCLUSIONS

The association of improved EF with healthy eating behaviors may be key to improving diet quality. If effective, this web-based EF training program will provide a platform that can be made widely available to aid individuals in food-related decision-making. The platform could be modified to target other food choices and other health behaviors such as reducing sedentariness and increasing physical activity.

Ectopic kidneys though uncommon can be associated with other anomalies of the genitourinary system such as uretero-pelvic junction obstruction, vesicoureteral reflux and upper urinary tract abnormalities. These associations present surgical challenges in an ectopic kidney. We report the surgical management of a right ectopic kidney associated with uretero-pelvic junction obstruction and severe hydronephrosis. A 27-year-old male presented to Zenith Medical and Kidney Center in Abuja with complaints of recurrent, dull right flank pain of 1 year duration. Physical examination revealed a non-tender cystic mass extending from the right iliac fossa to the right hypochondrium. Abdominopelvic computed tomography revealed huge intraperitoneal non-enhancing hypodense ovoid cystic mass difficult to differentiate from the right ureter with severe intraperitoneal mass effect. Retrograde pyelogram done revealed right ectopic pelvic kidney with uretero-pelvic junction obstruction. The patient subsequently had right open Anderson-Hynes pyeloplasty. Intraoperative findings were right ectopic pelvic kidney with uretero-pelvic junction obstruction secondary to intrinsic narrowing at the junction and severe hydronephrosis. Posto­perative recovery was uneventful with complete resolution of the presenting symptom. Ectopic kidneys can be associated with uretero-pelvic junction obstruction which presents diagnostic and surgical treatment challenges. Retrograde pyelography is an important radiological armamentarium for the proper diagnosis and subsequent treatment of this condition.

The study of the urbanization process by students of the educational program "Geography" in Kazakhstan is topical in the context of rapid urban development and evolutions in the geographical space of the country. Various key problems were revealed in the process of the studies such as the need for in-depth research of the theoretical foundations of urbanization, limited access to current data and no work experience on modern methods of data processing and analysis. An online survey was conducted on the basis of the Google Forms and the survey questions were worked out to have the further study of urbanization processes and update knowledge in this field. The study applied a data analysis method using the SPSS Base software package. This method provided the opportunities to structure and process the survey results among 331 teachers and master’s students. The approach ensured an accurate analysis and interpretation of the data which enabled to identify key trends and consistent patterns in respondents’ answers. The results point to both positive and negative conclusions based on the data. The conclusions were made on having evaluated the results with the help of SWOT analysis.

Objective: This study has been carried out with an in silico approach to predict interactions between drug candidates and receptor COX-2 (5IKT) and analysed the Molecular Dynamic (MD) simulation.
Methods: The docking procedure was executed with the MolDock algorithm, which was incorporated into Molegro Virtual Docker 5.0, employing the specific docking strategy. MD simulation was analysed with GROMACS 2019 for a duration of 50 nanoseconds. A graph is used to illustrate the interpretation of MD, depicting the Root mean Square Deviation (RMSD) on the backbone, the RMSF on C-alpha, and the Solvent-Accessible Surface Area (SASA) on the protein. This is accomplished via the qtGrace program.
Results: Pyrazoline C and M were used as ligands and celecoxib as a commercial drug. Pyrazoline M was the ligand with the highest affinity (-103.463 Kcal/mol) if compared with Pyrazoline C (-100.900 Kcal/mol), native ligand tolfenamic acid (-87.588 Kcal/mol) and celecoxib (-95.832 Kcal/mol). The molecular dynamics simulation for 50 ns was showed that RMSD, RMSF and SASA rigid and stable.
Conclusion: Pyrazoline C and M was the potential to develop as a breast cancer drug with COX-2 inhibitory activity.

Authors: GIRSANG BINA MELVIA , ELFIRA EQLIMA
Published: September 2024

Objective: The purpose of this study is to review a number of research papers about postpartum perineal wound care technologies.
Methods: The systematic review for this investigation was carried out using PRISMA, or Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses. Electronic databases are used in this study to find pertinent papers. An electronic database search (PubMed and Connected Papers). The papers that are sought after were published between 2019 and 2023, or the last five years.
Results: It has been demonstrated that Negative Pressure Wound Dressing (NPWT) works to speed up wound healing, lower complications, and improve the outcome of skin grafts. Foam dressings with rims efficiently reduce discomfort from wounds and enhance their ability to recover. NPWT can hold the skin securely, minimizing shear pressures and limiting the development of subcutaneous hematomas. It can also be used to prepare the wound bed for flap closure grafting. Perineal skin graft wounds can also be managed using NPWT, but this is more difficult because of the possibility of infection and the requirement for a tight seal.
Conclusion: By taking into account the evidence level of the study methodology, the intervention strategies for lowering pain, healing perineal lesions, and boosting comfort.
