Published: December 2024

The construction industry is constantly seeking sustainable alternatives to traditional materials due to growing environmental concerns and resource depletion. This study explores the potential of using Jhama Brick Dust (JBD) as a substitute for fine aggregate in concrete. Jhama bricks, which are over-burnt bricks, often considered waste, were processed into fine dust and incorporated into concrete mixes at varying percentages (0%, 10%, 20%, 30%, and 40%) to partially replace natural sand. The concrete mixes were tested for their workability, compressive strength, tensile strength, and durability. Results showed that concrete containing 20% JBD as a replacement for fine aggregate exhibited a compressive strength increase of 8% compared to the control mix. The tensile strength also improved by 5% at the same replacement level. However, higher replacements of 30% and 40% showed a decline in both strength and workability. Durability tests revealed that concrete with 20% JBD had better resistance to water penetration, making JBD suitable for applications requiring enhanced durability. This research indicates that Jhama Brick Dust can serve as a sustainable, cost-effective material in concrete production, offering potential cost savings and broader applicability within the industry due to its performance and availability. Incorporating JBD as a partial replacement for fine aggregate contributes to sustainable construction practices while maintaining satisfactory mechanical properties.

Published: December 2024

This study demonstrates the potential of sulindac to enhance resistance to tumor proliferation by both blocking tumor-induced immune suppression and stopping the growth of oral tumors. In contrast to adriamycin, sulindac significantly reduces the release of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and IL-6 from tumor cells by downregulating the NFκB and JNK signaling pathways. Additionally, it reduces the simultaneously induced production of VEGF and IL-6 during contacts between immune cells and tumors. Furthermore, sulindac dramatically reduces VEGF levels in the presence of IL-2-stimulated NK cells, indicating an improved immune response against tumor cells. Even the immunological suppression caused by tumor cells stimulated with TNF-α is reversed by sulindac. Consequently, the combination of sulindac with chemotherapy can effectively inhibit tumor growth and increase resistance to oral malignancies.

Published: December 2024

Asthma is a widespread respiratory illness that affects millions of people worldwide, including pregnant women. Using spirometry testing, this study examines the effects of pregnancy on the lungs of pregnant women with and without bronchial asthma. The survey included 200 asthmatic pregnant women overall and 100 pregnant healthy women. FEV1, PEFR, FVC, and FEV1/FVC ratio, among other lung function indicators, were measured during the second and third trimesters of pregnancy. The findings show that pregnant women with asthma have significantly worse lung function than healthy pregnant women, with lower FEV1, PEFR, and FEV1% values. In addition, changes in lung function and body mass index (BMI) were observed between the second and third trimesters. The FEV1/FVC ratio remained largely stable, although both FVC and FEV1% decreased significantly. These results highlight the dynamic nature of lung function and BMI during pregnancy and also highlight the importance of monitoring these changes for the health of expectant mothers and their unborn children. To ensure maternal and fetal health, it is essential to understand these physiological changes, especially in people with asthma. Future evaluation of spirometry data should consider reference equations tailored to pregnant women. This will provide important insights into the complex relationship between respiratory health and pregnancy.

Aim: The aim of this study was to examine the association between the Braille learning method and the psychology of blind children.

Cases and Methods: The study was conducted at Um Alrabeaen Institution for blind and purblind people in June to July 2022. The depression scale was applied during a semi-structured interview with parents of blind children using the modified Hamilton scale, which consisted of eight items (sadness, laziness, suicide, psychological anxiety, other anxiety features, insomnia, confusion, and general body symptoms) using a three-Likert scale. The total sample size was 24, eight children as cases and 16 as controls. The inclusion criterion was blind children aged 8–13 years attending braille courses. The exclusion criterion was mentally retarded children.

Results: This study showed that 16 (66.7%) of the blind children complained of depression, feelings of helplessness, inability, listlessness, loss of interest and slow thinking, trouble sleeping, interrupted sleep, and physical anxiety, although these symptoms were more prevalent among the control group but not statistically significant. Depression was observed more frequently in males than in females (p = 0.003). Blind children suffering from trouble sleeping and interrupted sleep were commonly observed among the control group (14, 87.5%) with no difference between males and females. Depression and feelings of helplessness, inability, listlessness, loss of interest, and slow thinking were observed in 12 (75.0%) blind children. The least reported symptom was the child waking up earlier than usual and not being able to sleep again (10, 6.25%), with no difference between males and females.

Conclusion: Braille courses for blind children had a positive effect on their psychological aspects.

Published: December 2024

En los agroecosistemas, el suelo es esencial para todos los cultivos, siendo el principal soporte de las raíces y la fuent-e de nutrientes para las plantas. El suelo es además el hábitat de microorganismos que pueden llegar a tener efectos tanto benéficos como perjudiciales para las plantas. Los suelos supresivos (SS) son quizás el mejor ejemplo para describir la compleja interacción entre las plantas y su microbioma. En un SS la incidencia y severidad de las infecciones permanecen bajas aun en las condiciones adecuadas para su desarrollo. Existen dos tipos de supresión en los SS: general, donde toda la comunidad microbiana actúa en conjunto, y específica, donde ciertos taxones microbianos o grupos antagonistas dirigen la supresión. El efecto antagónico de los SS se debe a los diversos mecanismos como: la competencia por nutrientes, producción de compuestos antimicrobianos, compuestos orgánicos volátiles (VOCs) e inducción de resistencia sistémica. En las últimas décadas, gracias a las tecnologías ómicas, la naturaleza microbiana de la supresión ha sido ampliamente demostrada. Sin embargo, potenciar la formación de suelos supresivos sigue representando un reto en términos del manejo sustentable de dicho recurso natural. Por ello, en la presente revisión se busca brindar un panorama actual sobre el papel de las comunidades microbianas en la formación de suelos supresivos.

Published: December 2024

Today, musculoskeletal pain is frequently seen in the working population. Analgesic drugs are frequently used in the treatment of this chronic pain. However, analgesic drug treatment causes various side effects. Mesotherapy is an application method that aims to heal by injecting a small amount of medication under the skin. In this method, less medication is used compared to systemic treatment and a similar effect is achieved. Although mesotherapy has a wide range of uses, it does not yet have a standard protocol. For these reasons, every study conducted in the field of mesotherapy is quite valuable. It was aimed to contribute to the literature by evaluating the mesotherapy results of three sisters from the same family who applied to our center with various pain complaints. The pain of the sisters, aged 44, 47 and 50, was evaluated with the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) before and after mesotherapy. The pain levels, which were 10/10, 8/10 and 10/10, decreased to 7/10, 4/10 and 3/10 after three sessions of mesotherapy, respectively. In addition, all of them reported an increase in their quality of life. The decrease in pain in these patients with similar genetic and sociodemographic characteristics, consistent with previous studies, can be interpreted as significant.

The focus of this study is the presentation of two systems, which use computer vision techniques. In the first, the authors applied these techniques to the acquisition and processing system of ovitrap images. However, the second system is a physiotherapeutic evaluation platform for dynamic monitoring of body balance. By using a depth image of the patient (based on a 3D camera), the algorithm can predict the exact positions of the joints of an individual, without temporal information. The two studies described presented showed promising results, which demonstrated that computer vision techniques are of great importance. The experiments with the Aedes Aegypti mosquito egg has allowed accurate detection and counting of them. The experiments with body balance analysis has allowed the tracking of the center of mass of an individual during physiotherapeutic exercises. Software has detected the movement of the center of mass, satisfying a physiotherapeutic need. The techniques developed for computer vision have many possible applications in different areas and different populations, not only in the areas presented in this study.
Comparative Study of the English-Chinese Academic Discourse System
Authors: Zhang Feiyang
Published: December 2024

As an important tool of knowledge expression, the academic discourse system reflects the thinking mode and expression habits under different language and cultural backgrounds. This paper makes a systematic comparison of the academic discourse system from three dimensions of language expression, logical thinking and cultural background. It is found that the English academic discourse system is characterized by logic, simplicity and objectivity, emphasizing the clarity and efficiency of information transmission, while the Chinese academic discourse system focuses on comprehensiveness, integrity and cultural depth, and shows the multidimensional nature of academic discourse through complex sentence patterns and background supplement. This difference is not only derived from the grammatical characteristics of the two languages, but also deeply influenced by the Chinese and Western cultural traditions. Through the comparative analysis of the English-Chinese academic discourse system, this paper reveals the possible challenges in the cross-cultural academic exchange, and provides a reference for the improvement of academic writing ability.

Authors: Mbeveri Kelvin Phineas
Published: December 2024

Full-time entrepreneurs are an integral part of economic growth, the rise of a distinct category of entrepreneurs known as hybrid entrepreneurs is no exception. Hybrid entrepreneurship has re-ceived notable attention in recent years. Therefore, this study seeks to examine the influence of team-member exchange (TMX) on hybrid entrepreneurial intentions (HEIs) within organizational settings, elucidating the mediating role of perceived desirability of entrepreneurship (PDE), per-ceived normativeness towards entrepreneurship (PNE) and perceived feasibility towards entrepre-neurship (PFE). Through the lens of the theory of planned behavior (TPB), a research model is pro-posed to explore these relationships. More so, by employing a quantitative research design, data will be collected using a questionnaire in an online survey utilizing a convenience sampling technique. Regression analysis will be adopted to assess the direct and indirect effects of TMX on HEIs through the proposed mediators. The aim of this study is to advance theoretical understanding of HEI, extending TPB and contributing to the existing board of literature on hybrid entrepreneurship. Moreover, the study also has practical implications to policy makers, managers and employees.
