Authors: Ekawaty Suryani Mastari  , Fitri Aidani Ulfa  , Ningrum Wahyuni  , Noradina Noradina  , Meriani HS
Published: November 2024

Cancer pain occurs in more than half of cancer patients and affects their quality of life. The complexities of proinflammatory molecules in the tumor microenvironment contribute to pain. The MMPs, as proteolytic enzymes involved in cancer cell migration towards the surrounding environment, demonstrate their connection to the development of pain in cancer. As complex molecules, MMPs can be influenced by various cytokines and chemokines, mainly throughout neuroinflammation, which decreases neuron sensitivity and boosts hyperexcitability in pain-controlling mechanisms.

Anxiety is a psychological factor commonly experienced by breast cancer patients and can influence medication adherence. This study aims to analyze the impact of anxiety on medication adherence among breast cancer patients through a meta-analysis of published studies. A systematic search was conducted across electronic databases, including PubMed, Scopus, and PsycINFO, to identify relevant studies published in the last five years. Inclusion criteria encompassed observational and experimental studies measuring anxiety levels and medication adherence in breast cancer patients. A meta-analysis was performed using a random-effects model to compute the effect size. The analysis revealed a significant negative relationship between anxiety levels and adherence to breast cancer treatment (r = -0.38, 95% CI: -0.45 to -0.31, p < 0.001). These findings indicate that patients with higher levels of anxiety are likely to have lower adherence to breast cancer treatment. Consequently, the findings underscore the importance of psychological interventions in reducing patient anxiety and improving medication adherence in breast cancer patients. Finally, the study highlights the need for clinical implications and future research recommendations. The results reinforce the necessity for further research and development in improving treatment outcomes and quality of life for breast cancer patients in the future.

Advances in reproductive technology are proof that this world was not created by any other chance. With the emergence of reproductive technology updates such as womb rental, many couples choose this shortcut, without considering the established sharia. In Indonesia, this practice is also prohibited because it is exploitation and lowers the dignity of a woman. There are several alternative ways to solve this problem by adopting a child or medical procedures such as in vitro fertilization (IVF). Even though alternative ways have been found, Muslims must still involve mature religious considerations and guidance from trusted scholars.

Measuring the Impact of Parent Brand Equity on Brand Extension: A Luxury Fashion Industry Perspective
Authors: Lin Yuanyuan , Ismail Nurzali
Published: November 2024

In a diversified consumer society with extreme product homogeneity and fierce competition, many luxury fashion brands try to broaden their product offerings. Although brand extension is now highly common, it is not always met with success. Indeed, incorrect evaluations of brand equity can lead to consumer dissatisfaction with extended products, thus losing the opportunity to extend in the target market. On the other hand, previous studies have repeatedly verified the influence of the extended brand on the parent brand’s equity. Accordingly, few studies have concentrated on the influence of the parent brand’s equity on the extended brand, especially in the field of luxury fashion brands. Therefore, this study employs the brand equity model, including brand loyalty, awareness, perceived quality, and association, and measures the influence of parent brand’s equity on the extended brand from a consumer perspective. In this study, data from 151 consumers who have purchased luxury fashion products in Kuala Lumpur were collected through quantitative methods and the results were obtained by a simple linear regression analysis of SPSS. The results showed statistical significance with p<0.05 which revealed that the parent brand's equity had a significant positive impact on its extended brand while most studies focused on the impact of the extended brand on the parent brand. Simply put, this research not only makes a theoretical contribution to the parent–extended brand relationship but also fills knowledge gaps in related fields. Moreover, based on the empirical results, this study proposes a series of suggestions for correctly measuring brand equity to facilitate smoother brand extension, providing practical guidance for the luxury fashion industry.

The current study aims to examine the antecedents of recycling behaviour among Malaysian online consumers concerning e-commerce packaging waste by applying the Cognitive-Affective-Behavioural model. Empirical data were collected from 339 Malaysian university students. Structural equation modelling (SEM) was subsequently employed to test the proposed model. The SEM results confirmed that environmental knowledge directly and positively influenced recycling behaviour. Environmental concern and attitude served as serial mediators, which sequentially delineated the indirect relationship. The present study advanced the existing literature on recycling behaviour by implementing robust approaches to statistically examining the impacts and interrelationships of the key constructs influencing recycling behaviour among online consumers concerning e-commerce packaging waste.

Before seed treatment, the seed must contain several active ingredients. Because the mail significant part of the saved crop depends on the correct seed dressing technology. Seed dressing, or seed treatment with pesticides, is an activity aimed at protecting plants from pests and diseases, using special preparations. In this study, the physicochemical properties of the formalin-urotropine-copper sulfate system were investigated at 25 oC. It is established that the isotherms of the system confirmed that the density, viscosity, pH of the solution medium and the crystallization temperature are characterized by inflection points corresponding to concentrations. Analysis of the “composition - properties” diagram of the system shows that the isotherms of the refractive index, density, viscosity and pH of the medium are characterized by two inflection points corresponding to 30 % formalin and 15 % urotropine that equals molar ratio of 1:1:1. Thus, it can be assumed that the interaction of formalin with copper sulfate in aqueous solutions results in the formation of a complex compound of the composition [30 % CH2O +15 % C6H12N4]-CuSO4·5H2O. Based on the data obtained, a solubility diagram was constructed, identified by X-ray phase, IR spectroscopic and thermogravimetric. Comparison of the value of the degree of crystallinity of the studied samples shows that the degree of crystallinity increases in the samples.

Three glasses with different iron oxide concentrations (between 5 and 8.1 mol %) were obtained in the CaO - Na2O - SiO2 - Fe2O3 system by using conventional melting-quenching technique. The amorphous nature of the synthesized materials is confirmed by X-ray diffraction analysis, XRD. The physico-chemical and structural characterization of the glasses was performed by measuring their density, refractive indices, as well as by calculating the molar volume, oxygen packing density and recording the infrared spectra by Fourier Transformed Infrared Spectroscopy, FT-IR, respectively. The glasses were evaluated in vitro by examining bone-like apatite formation on their surfaces in a simulated body fluid, SBF. The structural changes in the glasses during the in-vitro test were traced by means of FT-IR and Scanning Electron Microscopy, SEM. The solutions were examined by Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectroscopy, ICP-OES to determine the ion exchange between the glasses and the starting SBF and the corresponding effect on the pH was also recorded.

Published: November 2024

The glass, ceramic and cement plants are energy intensive industrial systems, releasing high amounts of greenhouse gases. The dissipation of the waste heat reduces their profitability, energy and ecological efficiency. The absorption refrigeration systems are successful solutions for the recovery of thermal energy at different temperature levels to obtain useful cooling and heating powers for technological needs, and for air conditioning of administrative and industrial buildings. Although the absorption units in a heat pump and refrigeration cycle are currently used in building and industrial systems, they have not yet penetrated widely into the silicate factories. This paper discusses possibilities for the applications of basic types of absorption cycles at heat pump and refrigeration modes to utilize waste energy at different temperature levels in glass, ceramic and cement plants. The examined variants are demonstrated via examples, diagrams and analyses of the possible energy saving.

A modified thermal and sound insulation composite material, potentially applicable in the field of modern construction, has been developed. Experimental samples based on foam glass aggregate (made from recycled waste glass), perlite (with fraction size up to 3 mm) and hydraulic binders were obtained. The acoustic and mechanical characteristics and the thermal conductivity coefficient of the prepared series of composite samples were studied. Values for Rw in the range from 38 to 46 dB and for λ from 0.04 to 0.15 W m-1 K-1 were established. The influence of the different components of the composition on the values of the studied performance indicators and the structure of the composite was analysed.

In this study, amorphous nanoparticles were extracted from fly ash using a sol-gel method. The obtained nanoparticles were characterized using XRF spectroscopy, XRD, FT-IR and TEM. The XRD curves show the presence of both crystalline and amorphous phases. FT-IR analysis indicated the presence of silanol and siloxane groups. Upon analysis, the primary nanoparticles were found to exhibit a roughly spherical shape with an average size of approximately 65 nm. The findings of this study demonstrate the feasibility of applying the sol-gel method to synthesize nanoparticles derived from coal fly ash (CFA), thereby avoiding other expensive and energy-intensive methods of nanoparticle synthesis.

Loess from the Danubian Plain (Bulgaria) was used as the raw material for the solid-state synthesis of ceramics.The mineral phase composition of the loess fraction used was determined by powder X-ray phase analysis, and the chemical composition by X-ray fluorescence analysis. The semi-quantitatively determined mineral phases are quartz, plagioclase, K-feldspar,  mica, carbonates (calcite and dolomite), chlorite and amphibole. The major oxides of the chemical composition of loess fraction are (in wt. %): SiO2 - 53,61; Al2O3 - 12.57; Fe2O3 - 7.05; P2O5 - 0,23; TiO2 - 1.37; CaO - 19.36; and MgO - 1.48. Experiments were performed with sintering of pure loess without additives, and with addition of MgO and Na2O in order to obtain a composition corresponding to that of the pyroxene augite - (Ca,Na)(Mg,Fe,Al,Ti)(Si,Al)2O6. Ceramics were obtained at three temperatures: 1000, 1100 and 1200°C. The phase composition, spectral characteristics and colour coordinates of the obtained ceramics were determined. The results show that when magnesium and sodium are added to the loess raw material, the ceramics obtained after sintering at 1100 and 1200°C have a predominant content of augite and have a yellow-beige colour.

Published: November 2024

The present study is devoted to the monitoring of the performance of AA2024-T3 specimens, after the formation of Anodic Aluminum Oxide (AAO) layer and/or deposition of a Ceruim Conversion Coating (CeCC), obtained at 20°C and 50°C, respectively. Although both methods are well described in the literature, there is no sufficient information regarding the effect of their combination on their behaviour in corrosive media. The performance of the respective specimens was elucidated after 24 h of exposure to 3.5 % NaCl model corrosive medium (MCM) by means of Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) and acquisition of Potentiodynamic Scanning (PDS) curves. Since the combined AAO/CeCC coating primers revealed superior barrier properties, the respective specimens weresubjected to long-term corrosion tests of up to 672 h of exposure to the MCM to evaluate their durability. The results revealed the synergistic effect of the combination of the surface treatment procedures on effective corrosion mitigation.

The chemical and phase compositions of the clays from coal mining were evaluated by XRF and powder XRD method, respectively. Hot Stage Microscope was used to estimate the thermal behaviour. In addition, the thermal losses of the clays after 1 h thermal treatment at different temperatures were measured. This preliminary analysis elucidates potential prospects for using some of clays as raw materials for ceramic industry. It seems that samples which are montmorillonite type are more plastic, while the others, where higher sand content is observed, and the drying shrinkage is negligible could be characterized as less plastic. The initial results for the thermal behaviour and the structure of a brick sample (obtained by mixing two types of clays) and a foamed geopolymer are also reported. The first sample shows a beginning of the firing shrinkage at about 1000°C, while the second demonstrates intensive bloating after 950°C, leading to specimen with about 56 % closed porosity. Finally, X - ray Computed Tomography and SEM was used to highlight the structure of some test samples.
