Published: August 2024

Miscarriage is generally defined as the loss of an intrauterine pregnancy before 24 completed weeks of gestation. The World Health Organization (WHO) defines miscarriage as ‘the expulsion from its mother of an embryo or fetus weighing 500 g or less, corresponding to a gestational age of up to 20 completed weeks of gestation with no signs of life’. This study serves as an initial investigation on the level of awareness of miscarriage among students of the University of Cyberjaya. It is a cross-sectional study which involves the students of University Of Cyberjaya, a set of questionnaires were distributed among themselves to determine the prevalence of the condition or knowledge in question. Overall, out of 449 respondents 73,7%; n:331 of the respondents are within the age of 20- 29 years old. The results of this study shows that four of five categories, which are the gender (female, 71%, p=0.004), age group (20-29 years old, 94.9%, p=0.002), ethnicity (Indian, 40.2%, p=0.013) and courses (MBBS, 52.1%, p=0.701) show remarkable associations with students' knowledge levels regarding miscarriage. It was also found that the respondents agreed on idea of substance abuse (57.0%, mean = 4.314) is the most common risk factor for miscarriage and the best preventative measure to overcome this problem is by controlling sugar levels, blood pressure, cholesterol, tobacco, and alcohol consumption (56.1%, p<0.001). Our research also proves that there is a significant relationship among knowledge levels, awareness of risk factors, and the adoption of preventive measures related to miscarriage among students at the University of Cyberjaya. Higher knowledge levels are associated with increased awareness of risk factors (p<0.001), and both knowledge and awareness are positively correlated with the adoption of preventive measures (p<0.001 respectively).

Authors: - Rahul Dhama , - Winsome Kumar , - Anu Agrawal , - Navaudhayam Ranganathan , - Akhilesh Mishra
Published: August 2024

Intriduction -Neuroendocrine neoplasms (NEN) of the larynx are very rare, accounting for <1% of all laryngeal carcinomas. Based on the 2022 IARCH/WHO classification, NENs are characterised as well-differentiated neuroendocrine tumours (NET), which can further be divided into grades 1-3 based on Ki-67 levels and mitotic count, or poorly differentiated neuroendocrine carcinomas (NEC) consisting of small cell carcinoma and large cell carcinoma. In this case report, we describe a rare presentation of NEC of the larynx encountered in a 54-year-old man and how diagnostic and therapeutic dilemmas unfolded.
Case description: A 6-month history of breathing and swallowing difficulties led to a tracheostomy due to stridor, in the emergency department. Imaging revealed a soft tissue mass involving the supraglottic larynx but no significant associated cervical lymphadenopathy. The biopsy from the growth was suggestive of poorly differentiated NEC as an AJCC stage cT3N0M0. However, there was local progression post-initial treatment with vincristine, doxorubicin and cyclophosphamide (VAC). The chemotherapy regimen was switched to carboplatin and etoposide. The patient received definitive radiation therapy and completed the planned dose of radiation.After 10 months of disease-free interval, there was local recurrence with lung nodules that prompted rechallenge with platinum and etoposide. The patient is doing well and remains clinically and radiologically stable to maintenance therapy with carboplatin & etoposide.
Conclusion: NENs of the larynx and especially NECs, are difficult to diagnose as they are rare and have varied molecular profiles. Its management frequently calls for multimodal approaches with chemotherapy and radiation therapy. Due to the developments in diagnostic and therapeutic modalities, our knowledge of NENs has been enhanced which contributed to better practice standards. Nevertheless, standardized treatment strategies remain to be determined by large cohort studies and comprehensive molecular profiling that can determine improved clinical outcomes.

Authors: - Dixit , - Anjana Devi , - Mona Piplani , - Pankaj Bhateja
Published: August 2024

The poor aqueous solubility and low oral bioavailability of atorvastatin calcium pose significant challenges in optimising its therapeutic efficacy. This study explores the formulation of deep eutectic solvents (DES) to enhance the solubility and bioavailability of atorvastatin calcium for oral delivery. Various DES formulations were prepared using choline chloride, choline bitartrate, and selected carboxylic acids. The formulations were characterised through physicochemical analysis, including pH, drug content, particle size, zeta potential, and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy. The most promising formulation, F12, exhibited a yellowish transparent appearance, a mean particle size of 74.21 nm, and a zeta potential of -22.3 mV, indicating good colloidal stability. In vitro drug release studies revealed a delayed release profile for F12 compared to the pure drug, potentially offering advantages in prolonged therapeutic effect and reduced dosing frequency. Kinetic modelling analysis suggested a diffusion-controlled release mechanism influenced by drug diffusion and polymer relaxation. Overall, this study demonstrates the potential of DES formulations in enhancing the solubility and bioavailability of atorvastatin calcium, paving the way for improved therapeutic outcomes and patient compliance.

Text and textile: the variability of “moire” in R. Barthes’s conceptualisations
Authors: Doroshenko Anfisa
Published: August 2024

In this paper we distinguish two approaches to understanding “moire” in the theoretical work of R. Barthes. The dominant, more authoritative approach is based on the model of the text, while the new, emerging approach is based on the metaphor of the textile. We argue that the choice of text or textile as a means of explaining “moire” should be considered inseparable from the research interests and projects of Barthes scholars. For the proponents of the text-based approach, the textile is rather a secondary, auxiliary tool that helps to explain the principles of writing, the peculiarities of reading practices, and the ways of interacting with the text. We show how the proponents of this approach follow Barthes’s works as a kind of glossary or index, looking for equivalents and examples of “moire”, working extremely closely and intensively with his methodology. On the other hand, the textile-based approach seeks the most specific material equivalent of “moire”. Moreover, this approach demonstrates that textile, as a precise and easily understood metaphor, illuminates not only Barthes’s conceptualisation of “moire” but also his processual thinking in general.
This text outlines some of the operations of both approaches, which we consider valuable for the development of contemporary cultural studies. Finally, while clarifying and complementing the interpretations of the “moire” we point to its importance for understanding the other significant concepts in Barthes’s theory, especially his concept of the Neutral.

The Use of Short Stories to Improve Vocabulary: Understanding the Perceptions of EFL Students
Authors: García-Cañarte Alan , Ocaña Mauro
Published: August 2024

The integration of  technologies, such as virtual learning environments, web-based collaborative setups, and gamified applications, tend to promote the positive effects of short stories on vocabulary learning in a foreign language. This study investigates the effectiveness of using short stories as a pedagogical tool for enhancing vocabulary acquisition in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) students. Two cohorts of participants took part simultaneously in a course to improve vocabulary through short stories graded according to their level of proficiency. The highly validated tool MSLQ was applied to gather perceptions of motivation and learning strategies throughout the course. Correlational analyses suggest that short stories, combined with appropriate technological and pedagogical strategies, offer a powerful approach to vocabulary learning in diverse educational contexts. The study also emphasizes the importance of self-regulated learning mechanisms, which promote learner autonomy and self-efficacy, leading to better vocabulary outcomes. This research contributes to the understanding of effective vocabulary learning and provides practical insights for educators seeking to enhance EFL students' language mastery.

Authors: Nugrahaeni Indah , Perdana Hendra , Satyahadewi Neva
Published: August 2024

Portfolio formation is one of the strategies that investors can do to get the best results Portfolio formation can use the Downside Deviation method. The optimal portfolio with this method uses downside deviation and sets the return below the benchmark as a measure of risk. Every optimal portfolio certainly cannot be separated from risk. To measure risk, you can use the Value at Risk (VaR) and Expected Shortfall values. This study aims to form an optimal portfolio using the Downside Deviation method and continued by comparing the possible losses that occur from the formed portfolio using the VaR and Expected Shortfall values. The data used in this study is the daily closing price data of LQ-45 Index stocks in the banking sector in the period February-June 2023. From the stock data, data selection is carried out by selecting stocks that have a positive expected return and are normally distributed. Then, the optimal portfolio formation stage is continued using the Downside Deviation method and comparing the possible risks formed with the VaR and Expected Shortfall values. The results of this study show that the optimal portfolio with the Downside Deviation method consists of four stocks, namely with the stock codes BRIS.JK, BBRI.JK, BBNI.JK, and BBCA.JK. This study uses a case example by investing capital of Rp100,000,000 with a one-day time period and three levels of confidence, namely 90%, 95%, and 99%. Based on the comparison of the risk value of the portfolio formed using VaR and Expected Shortfall, it is shown that the possible risk with the Expected Shortfall method is greater than the VaR value. Therefore, Expected Shortfall is better in estimating the maximum risk.
They Have Always Been Military: On So-Called Militarized Policing in Canada
Authors: Shantz Jeff
Published: August 2024

Over the last few years there has been growing attention to and discussion of the so-called militarization of policing. Unfortunately, much of this discussion poses the militarization of policing as a recent phenomenon. This paper examines policing in Canada within the context of an ongoing military practice. It shows that policing was founded on a military basis and continues to be carried out on a military basis as exemplified in the more recent developments that have raised alarm about militarization. It raises the need for a retheorization of policing within the context of capitalist social struggles and highlights some instructive recent theoretical developments toward that end. Properly understanding the police in Canada can help to contextualize and challenge current responses that are limited to reforms for police (de-militarization, de-escalation, improved training, non-lethal weaponry, etc.) or which even allow for the expansion of policing (community policing, drones, etc.).
