Authors: Khitryuk V.
Published: November 2024

The results of an empirical study of a comprehensive assessment of the professional training of future teachers of various specialties (preschool educators, primary school teachers, subject teachers, psychology teachers, social educators, speech pathologists) at higher education institutions in the Republic of Belarus are presented. The complexity of the assessment is ensured by the study of all components of professional teacher training (educational conditions, educational process, educational results) and the representativeness of the multi-subject groups of respondents (vice-rectors for academic affairs of institutions of higher education, teaching staff, graduate students and undergraduates). In order to obtain the research results, there were used author's checklists, 4 types of questionnaires correlated with the marker system (marker 1 – "educational conditions", marker 2 – "educational process", marker 3 – "educational results"), criteria, indicators. The study involved 8242 respondents, including the authority (10 vice-rectors for academic affairs), the teaching staff (1131 people), future teacher students of various specialties (7101 people). Mathematical and statistical data processing included the usee of Pearson's χ2 criterion (STATISTICA statistical package version 10.0). The study allowed us to see an important problem – "deficits" in the quality of university teaching staff training (especially its methodological component) that enables to solve problems of forming professional competencies in future teachers. The assessment of professional teacher training made it possible to determine the vectors of improvement of organizational and pedagogical conditions, content and methodological support of higher teacher-training education in the context of the implementation of the principle of inclusion, new methodological approaches to improving the quality of differentiated professional teacher training and to create a basis for making a number of managerial decisions.

Published: November 2024

The work is aimed at studying the formation of language reflection and the peculiarities of awareness of the language norm by speech therapy students as an indicator of their readiness to work with children with disabilities. The research materials obtained from a sample of first-year students of the Faculty of Defectology of the Moscow State University (N=450; EG=100) are presented. The study was conducted in 2 stages, including the analysis of video recordings of samples of spontaneous speech and reading texts of varying complexity. The results obtained show the insufficient formation of language reflection and the difficulty of understanding the language norm by future speech therapists. The influence of the complexity of the text on the number and prevalence of errors in the reading test has been determined (with a significance of p<0,001 there are differences in the groups). Purposeful attention to their own speech and the speech of others, recording self-observations helped to increase the number of students who completed the tasks without errors (from 15% to 40%). At the same time, with a significance of p<0,001, it was revealed that students are better at detecting errors during self-control than testing others. The study proposes ways of improving the language reflection of the students for their better formation for working in an inclusive environment.
The method for calculating the support reactions of a statically indeterminable final drive shaft of a tractor drive axle
Authors: Serov Kirill N. , Hoodorozhkov Sergey I.
Published: November 2024

BACKGROUND: Currently, in the design of vehicle drive axles, bevel final drives are used, forming both statically determinable structures and statically indeterminable ones. In the first case, the bearings, on which the bevel final drive shafts rest, form two rows of rolling elements, in the second case — three or more. Despite the prevalence of bevel final drive designs that form statically indeterminable structures, the statically determinable structures are considered in the process of teaching the design and calculation of machine elements. The study relevance lies in the formalization of the analytical calculation of the reactions on the supports of the bevel final drive, forming a statically indeterminable system, with the derivation of formulae for determining the reactions in the extra support.
AIM: Formalization of the method for calculating the support reactions of the drive axle bevel final drive as a statically indeterminable system, used for analysis of bearings.
METHODS: The study is based on mathematical dependencies of Analytical Mechanics to calculate reactions in the main supports, a corollary of Castigliano theorem and the force method to calculate reactions in extra supports. The Mathcad software was used for mathematical calculations.
RESULTS: A formalized method for the analytical analysis of support reactions in statically indeterminable systems, using Castigliano theorem to solve static indetermination, has been developed and presented. The application of the method for calculating the support reactions of the statically indeterminable driveshaft of the bevel final drive of the drive axle of the Kirovets K-7 series tractors is considered.
CONCLUSION: The dependencies obtained during the calculations make it possible to calculate the support reactions of the bevel final drive, the design of which forms a statically indeterminable system. The mathematical model of the bevel final drive, obtained during the calculations, can be used as a basis for developing software that automates this analysis.

Published: November 2024

Glioblastoma is most common and aggressive types of primary brain tumors known for its resistance to treatment. Prognosis for glioblastoma (GBM) which is an aggressive primary brain tumor, is poor. Complete resection is difficult to achieve because of tumor infiltration and extent of surgical resection is crucial for increasing survival. Compared to traditional surgery, intraoperative magnetic resonance imaging (iMRI) is prescribed as a way to improve resection accuracy. In methodology, we used PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane databases while following PRISMA-compliant systematic review through October 2024. Our designed keywords were "glioblastoma," "complete resection," "iMRI," and "overall survival." Studies focusing resection and survival results and contrasted iMRI with traditional surgery were chosen and this paper was done after screening by three reviewers. Results show fifteen studies with 2,299 glioblastoma patients were reviewed and results revealed iMRI improved the complete resection rate (68% versus 44%, OR: 2.4, p<0.001). Overall survival was higher in iMRI group (18.6 versus 13.7 months, HR: 0.76, p=0.005) and progression-free survival also improved (10.3 versus 7.5 months, HR: 0.79, p=0.004). We conclude that among patients with glioblastoma, intraoperative MRI is linked to a considerable increase in overall survival and total resection rates. The significant benefit of using iMRI in surgical practice is that it can be applied to aggressive tumors with difficult margins, and cost-effectiveness and long-term results should be the main topics of future studies.

Published: November 2024

The main objective of this research is to emphasize the significant role women hold in leading family businesses in transitional countries such as Kosovo, North Macedonia, and Albania. It aims to demonstrate how women’s leadership can positively influence business performance, economic advancement and social development in these regions where traditional gender norms are shifting. Additionally, this study explores how empowering women in leadership roles can foster innovation, strengthen resilience, and ensure long-term sustainability for family-owned businesses ultimately contributing to the broader economic progress of these transitioning economies.  This research aims to analyze family support, cultural factors and the influence of education on the advancement of women in leadership positions with a particular focus on family businesses. In this empirical research, 490 women from the countries above were included and the sample was randomly selected due to a lack of formal data. The results of the analyses were presented through descriptive analysis, Pearson correlation,   Ordinary  Least  Squares (OLS)  and T-test. The results indicate that family support has already a significant impacted advancement. Similarly, cultural factors have a positive influence.   These factors have changed and are no longer obstacles to women's advancement as in the past, although in some rural countries this is still seen as an obstacle. Another important factor is education where women prioritize before taking leadership positions and continue with various training even after taking positions to be fully prepared to achieve their business objectives.
Effect of pre-sowing treatments on seed germination and postgerminative seedling growth of acacia angustissima (mill.)
Authors: Ambebe Titus Fondo , Awazi Nyong Princely
Published: November 2024

Seeds of Acacia angustissima were subjected to a control and five pre-sowing (soaking in cold water for 24 hours, soaking in hot water (100° C) for 5 minutes, immersion in 60 % H2SO4 for 30 seconds, immersion in 60 % H2SO4 for 5 minutes, and immersion in 60 % H2SO4 for 15 minutes) treatments. The number of seeds that sprouted was recorded daily for calculation of germination indices. When there had been no further germination in any of the treatments for four weeks, the height, number of leaves, number of leaflets, and root length of seedlings were determined. One-way analysis of variance was used to test the effects of the pre-sowing treatments on seed germination and seedling growth. Final Germination Percentage, Germination Rate Index, and Seedling Vigour Index were significantly higher in the warm water than other five treatments which displayed similar responses of the traits. Similar, the warm water pre-treatment resulted in the longest seedlings, when shoot height and / or root length was considered. There was no significant effect of treatment on Mean Germination Time, number of leaves, and number of leaflets. The findings suggest that hot water pre-sowing treatment is the most suitable for seed germination and initial seedling height attainment of Acacia angustissima.

Authors: Ahmad Imron Rozuli  , Kholish Moh Anas , Yasin Muhamad
Published: November 2024

This article examines the role of the NU kyais as patrons of social change in coastal communities in preserving the Lamongan marine ecosystem through the Bahtsul Masail decision regarding preventing and prohibiting destructive fishing. The research method used in this study is qualitative descriptive research that uses observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation as data collection methods. The research study results in this article show that the patrons of the NU kyais play a significant role in making social changes to the Lamongan coastal community through the green fatwas they make. The role of the NU kyais in social change and environmental preservation is expressed through a green fatwa regarding the preservation of marine ecosystems by prohibiting destructive fishing gear. The NU kyais, considered authoritative patrons of the Lamongan coastal community, base their social construction on priority fiqh considerations by prioritizing public and long-term benefits rather than short-term specific benefits. According to the NU kyais, conserving marine ecosystems by prohibiting destructive fishing gear is a general and long-term benefit that must be prioritized rather than the welfare of a handful of fishing boat owners using destructive gear.

Published: November 2024

Recently, there has been growing interest in the study of community responses to disasters in Indonesia at macro and meso-levels analysis while little has been paid attention to this study at the micro one or individual level. To fill the literature gap, this article aims to describe prosocial behaviors performed by volunteers involved in addressing the Semeru volcano eruption victims in Lumajang Indonesia occurred in 2021. It was a result of descriptive quantitative research involving 202 participants who identified themselves as Muhammadiyah’s volunteers involved in the humanitarian activities in addressing the natural disaster. The data collection of pro-sociality utilized a prosocial behaviors scale including five aspects: honesty, helping, cooperating, caring, and donating. The validity test of the items used corrected item-total correlation that resulted in 34 valid items, and it had a good reliability based on Cronbach’s coefficient alpha test which was 0,953. The result shows that the participants had predominantly at the moderate level of prosocial behaviors which was four-fifths of the participants. Only a small proportion placed at the high pro-sociality, likewise those who were at the low level meaning these two categories were not significant. This finding is expected to enrich literature related to the role of civil society in responding to disasters, especially at the individual level. However, some relevant topics such as relating prosocial acts to other variables need to get attention for future research to result in comprehensive empirical evidence on this issue.
19. YÜZYIL SEYAHATNAMELERİNE GÖRE NOVI PAZAR
Authors: škrıjelj Cellek Zehra
Published: November 2024

Ulaşabildiğimiz verilere göre Novi Pazar'ın konumunun çeşitli dönemlerde doğal, ekonomik ve sosyal koşullara göre değişim gösterdiği anlaşılmaktadır. Osmanlı İmparatorluğu’nun Balkan topraklarını ele geçirmesinin ardından ticaret yollarının kesişme noktasında kenti kurduğu anlaşılmaktadır. Novi Pazar, en iyi dönemini 16. yüzyılda Osmanlı İmparatorluğu’nun yükseliş dönemiyle eş zamanlı olarak yaşamıştır. Ancak daha sonra merkezi hükümetin gücünün zayıflamasına paralel olarak kent de gücünü kaybetmeye başlamıştır. Buna rağmen coğrafi ve stratejik özellikleri nedeniyle 19. yüzyılın son yıllarına kadar Novi Pazar, tekrar Osmanlı Devleti’nin Balkanlar’daki önemli yerleşimleri arasında geçecektir. Bu durum öncelikle yerel yönetimler, ardından da yabancı diplomatlar, gezginler, dini şahsiyetler, bilim insanları ile araştırmacıların kaleme almış olduğu ve günümüze ulaşan seyahatnamelerden anlaşılmaktadır. Tarihi kaynaklar olarak nitelendirilen bu eserlerden ortaya çıkan bilgiler de bunu göstermektedir. Ayrıca ilk el kaynakları olan salnameler, arşiv belgeleri ve askeri haritalardaki ayrıntılı Novi Pazar incelemeleri ve çizimleri, Osmanlı İmparatorluğu ile diğer büyük güçler/devletler arası ilişkilerde Novi Pazar’ın önemini ve bölgenin genel durumu yansımaktadır. Araştırmamızda bu kez bize yol gösteren 19. yüzyıl kaynakları olup bu kaynaklarda kentin nasıl anlatıldığı ve nasıl göründüğü anlaşılmaya çalışılacaktır.

Published: November 2024

Niacin is well known not only as vitamin B3 but also as an important chemical, and has wide applications in the fields of food, farming, medicine, pharmaceuticals, and industry. With the rapid development of human society, the requirement for niacin has been increasing constantly worldwide. Meanwhile, development of green routes to produce niacin under mild conditions has become particularly urgent to substitute the conventional reaction process with the consideration of energy conservation and emission reduction. Among various synthesis routes of niacin, selective oxidation of 3-methyl-pyridine and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) in the liquid phase has become the focus of research due to its distinct advantages, such as mild reaction conditions, environmentally friendly reaction processes, and so on. Herein, zeolite-based catalysts have been first applied in the liquid phase synthesis of niacin from 3-methyl-pyridine and 30%H2O2 under mild reaction conditions. In addition, Cu-based 13X zeolite is found to show the highest catalytic performance, and optimal catalytic reaction systems have been established. This work provides a green and optional route for the synthesis of niacin.

Macapá é uma cidade singular, marcada pela interação constante entre seus espaços urbanos e os elementos naturais que a rodeiam, em especial a vasta malha hídrica. Situada na foz do Rio Amazonas, a capital do Amapá é vista como um território de contrastes, onde a urbanização moderna age em disparidade a paisagens que carregam características únicas da Amazônia. Frequentemente tratada como periferia nos debates urbanos nacionais, oferece uma rica ecologia de práticas e saberes, tanto tradicionais quanto contemporâneos, que resistem às tentativas de homogeneização imposta pelos modelos urbanísticos dominantes. Macapá emerge, assim sob a perspectiva dos autores de Macapá, Entre Cidade e Natureza: Caminhos a Apre(e)nder, como um laboratório de experimentação e reflexão sobre o encontro entre urbano e meio ambiente, desafiando as dicotomias convencionais e propondo uma visão mais integrada e sensível ao contexto amazônico.

Authors: Kumalasari Anggi Prastiwi , Harlita  , Rinanto Yudi
Published: November 2024

The utilization of communication devices such as mobile phones as a learning support tool in the development of technology 4.0 is still low. The low mobile phone utilization as a learning support tool causes the variety of learning media used by teachers to be low. The low variety of learning media results in students having difficulty mastering the concept of learning material, especially circulatory system material in class XI. The difficulty of concept mastery on circulatory system material can be overcome through the development of circulatory system mobile learning (CSML). The research objectives are: 1) Develop CSML on circulatory system material in grade XI, 2) Test the feasibility of CSML, and 3) Know the response of teachers and students to CSML. The type of research is Research and Development (R&D) using the ADDIE model (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation). Data collection uses feasibility validation questionnaires  and response questionnaires. The data analyzed were the results of the feasibility assessment from media experts and material experts, and the results of responses from teachers and students. Data analysis was carried out quantitatively descriptive using a Likert scale of 1-4. The results of the study are 1) The result of developing CSML can be accessed online; 2) The results of the feasibility assessment from media experts were 82.27% and material experts were 89.59% with a very feasible category; 3) The results of teacher responses were 87.02% and student responses were 88.55% with a great category.
O papel dos contextos na reinterpretação de embora como marcador de concessão
Authors: Longhin Sanderléia Roberta , Cavalcante Frontera João Pedro
Published: November 2024

Neste trabalho, investigamos aspectos do processo de constituição das construções concessivas com embora à luz do quadro teórico-metodológico da Gramaticalização (Narrog; Heine, 2021). A questão central está nos contextos que instigaram os processos inferenciais responsáveis pela interpretação concessiva. A pesquisa está pautada em dados de uma amostra diacrônica que reúne textos diversos do português médio, clássico e moderno. Partimos da fonte adverbial volitiva em boa hora e perseguimos dois objetivos: descrever os padrões de uso de embora na história do português e apreender os contextos que habilitaram a leitura concessiva. Os resultados apontam para a importância dos contextos de marcação de assentimento, em que o significado concessivo é pragmático, obtido a partir de um esquema argumentativo entre o que é aparentemente aceito e o que é definitivamente endossado
Multimodalidade em jogo: uma análise do jogo Final Fantasy
Authors: Matumoto André de Oliveira
Published: November 2024

Nos últimos anos, os estudos tanto em multimodalidade quanto em videogames têm despertado crescente interesse. A despeito disto, a interseção entre ambos foi pouco explorada até o momento (Stamenković; Jaćević, 2019). Com o fito de contribuir para esta interface, neste artigo, objetivamos discutir os videogames em termos multimodais sistêmico-funcionais (Halliday; Matthiessen, 2014). Para tal, elegemos Final Fantasy (Square, 1987) como objeto de estudo, voltando-nos às modalidades imagética, verbal e à processualidade. Por meio da análise das sequências de batalha, notamos que os significados ideacionais e textuais são construídos intermodalmente; aliado a isto, o exame da processualidade permitiu-nos depreender como estes recursos acoplam-se em um conjunto multimodal voltado à interação lúdica, o que se tornou produtivo na compreensão da intersecção entre multimodalidade e videogame.
A leitura em cartuns, piadas e memes: o humor em discursos sobre essa prática
Authors: Silva Jeniffer Aparecida da , Curcino Luzmara
Published: November 2024

Com vistas a descrever discursos sobre a leitura e certas representações de leitores que circulam entre nós na atualidade, analisamos textos do campo humorístico, tais como o cartum, a piada e o meme que tematizam essa prática. Nossa análise buscou responder a questões como “do que se ri, quando um texto humorístico enuncia a respeito da leitura?”, “o que normalmente se enuncia sobre essa prática e se torna o mote para o riso nesses textos humorísticos?”. O que constatamos com essa análise, apoiada em princípios da Análise de Discurso e em estudos dedicados à leitura no Brasil, é que, dada a força dos discursos consensuais sobre a leitura, os textos humorísticos que se dedicam ao tema tendem a reforçar esses consensos, tornando motivo de riso as práticas e os sujeitos em dissenso com esses discursos.
Discursos de tradutores em formação sobre línguas-culturas estrangeiras: de um amor que (não) se diz
Authors: Oliveira Andressa Franco , Deângeli Maria Angélica
Published: November 2024

Este trabalho tem por objetivo analisar a questão da afetividade que perpassa relatos de tradutores em formação no que diz respeito às relações com as línguas-culturas estrangeiras que estudam. Para tanto, toma-se como referência a temática acerca das relações de amor, proposta pela psicanálise freudiana e lacaniana, tal como exposto por Kristeva (1983) e Frota (2000). Para elaborar este estudo, utilizou-se parte de um corpus obtido com as respostas de ex-alunos do curso de Bacharelado em Letras com Habilitação de Tradutor, da Unesp, campus de São José do Rio Preto, a um questionário aplicado em pesquisa concluída recentemente. As análises foram feitas com base em uma abordagem discursivo-desconstrutivista, a partir dos trabalhos de Coracini (2019) e Da Rosa, Rondelli e Peixoto (2015).
O gênero GIF comic: um estudo à luz da referenciação
Authors: Dias Jaciluz , Ferreira Helena Maria
Published: November 2024

Este artigo objetiva analisar os mecanismos de referenciação em um exemplar do gênero GIF comic, assim denominado por ter características de gêneros como as tirinhas (comics, em inglês), incorporando outros gêneros próprios do meio digital, como o GIF. Para a análise, utilizam-se, como referencial teórico-metodológico, os pressupostos da Linguística Textual com uma abordagem sociocognitivo-discursiva e interacional de referenciação, imprescindível para a compreensão do texto, em relação aos seus modos de organização e de funcionamento. Dessa forma, a análise empreendida segue o posicionamento teórico de que os objetos do discurso são dinâmicos, pois, ao serem introduzidos, eles podem ser modificados, desativados ou ativados no processo de produção de sentidos. O artigo termina buscando demonstrar a importância de se ampliar a análise dos processos referenciais, bem como a relevância desse estudo para a formação docente.

A partir da caracterização de diferentes métodos experimentais, este trabalho tem o objetivo de discutir a elaboração de um design experimental voltado à investigação do papel que pistas acústicas de fronteira de unidade prosódica possam ter sobre o emprego de sinais de pontuação na escrita. A escolha da técnica experimental exige do pesquisador rigor metodológico, por isso é fundamental: (1) ter claro o tipo de informação linguística que se deseja investigar; (2) compreender as limitações inerentes aos tipos de métodos; (3) ponderar os objetivos da pesquisa e o tipo de resposta que os métodos oferecem; e (4) conhecer as condições de aplicabilidade das técnicas experimentais. Neste artigo, trataremos desses pontos a fim de fornecer contribuições metodológicas a estudos de orientação hipotético-dedutiva tal como o experimento que apresentaremos.
Do material ao arquivo: a constituição do corpus de pesquisa em perspectiva discursiva e a polêmica tradição x novidade
Authors: Viveiros Thais Rosa , Corrêa Manoel Luiz Gonçalves
Published: November 2024

Este é um trabalho piloto, que privilegia a teoria de base ao mesmo tempo em que analisa um exemplar de um conjunto de 60 textos publicados em formato digital de 2019 a 2021, no “Blog dos Colégios”, no jornal O Estado de São Paulo e que faz parte de investigação maior em nível de doutorado. Assumindo uma perspectiva discursiva em Linguística Aplicada, volta-se para a constituição do material como parte do “arquivo” (Guilhaumou; Maldidier, 2016). O objetivo é distinguir o centro polêmico organizador do discurso que autoriza os anúncios publicitários, publicados no Blog com o tom de artigos de opinião. Buscamos, para tanto, regularidades pragmático-discursivas entre língua (“tradições retóricas” – Guilhaumou; Maldidier, 2016) e história (paráfrases que retomam o processo discursivo). Os resultados atestam a polêmica tradição x novidade como organizadora desse discurso.
“Ideologia não é ciência”: uma análise discursiva acerca da deslegitimação das Humanidades no Twitter
Authors: Moreira João Vitor , Atalla Pereira Bruna Maria
Published: November 2024

O objetivo deste trabalho é analisar, à luz da Análise do Discurso de orientação francesa, estratégias argumentativas e recursos linguístico-discursivos que constituem tuítes cujo mote se caracteriza pelo enfrentamento às ciências humanas e aos objetos de estudo típicos da área. Trata-se de publicações obtidas via pesquisa por palavras-chave na ferramenta de busca da plataforma Twitter. Em seguida, as postagens foram ranqueadas e selecionadas a partir de um critério de engajamento – isto é, considerou-se, para a delimitação do corpus, o número de “curtidas”, compartilhamento e comentários recebidos em cada tuíte. Os resultados revelam regularidades na construção das postagens, como a identificação da ideia de ciência enquanto prática estritamente laboratorial e empírica, e, decorrente disso, a reafirmação de um ideal de objetividade científica que desqualifica pesquisas consideradas “subjetivas” ou “ideológicas”.
Reescrita, subjetividade e atividade epilinguística

Published: November 2024

Dedicamo-nos à análise de versões textuais produzidas por estudantes no contexto de um projeto de escrita. Tivemos por objetivos compreender estratégias que são mobilizadas na reescrita textual; depreender o que essas estratégias indiciam da subjetividade e do trabalho epilinguístico; e considerar implicações pedagógicas para o ensino-aprendizagem da escrita. Ancoramo-nos no paradigma indiciário (Ginzburg, 1989), método de caráter inferencial que, ao apresentar o vestígio como elemento de análise, fornece-nos base para interpretar mudanças na materialidade textual; e nos procedimentos de leitura e interpretação de manuscritos, apresentados pela Crítica Genética (Grésillon, 2007), que nos permitem traçar o percurso que vai da gênese à “versão final” de um texto. Observamos que os sujeitos, ao reescreverem seus textos, implicam-se em atividade epilinguística, por meio da qual operam com a linguagem (Franchi, 1991, 1992), lidam com o equívoco linguístico constitutivo (Lacan, 2008) e negociam sentidos (Geraldi, 2013).

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by significant memory loss and mental health decline. Berberine, a key active component of the ancient Chinese herb Coptis chinensis, has potential therapeutic effects against AD. To explore this, we utilized the HERB and SwissTargets prediction databases to identify AD-related targets associated with berberine. These targets were used to construct a protein interaction network and were analyzed through gene ontology (GO) and the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway analyses. Additionally, berberine’s targets against tau and Aβ pathology in AD were identified using the AlzData database and further validated through molecular docking studies. Following screening and removal of duplicates, 27 berberine-related targets for AD were identified. GO biological process analysis revealed a significant upregulation in the cellular response to chemical stress (GO:0062197) among these targets. KEGG pathway enrichment analysis showed the highest enrichment in the AD pathway (hsa05010), with APP, BID, CASP3, CASP8, CYCS, GSK, and TNF emerging as key protein targets. Molecular docking analysis confirmed that these genes exhibited strong binding interactions and favorable binding energies with berberine. In conclusion, network pharmacology methods demonstrated that berberine may exert therapeutic effects in AD by modulating multiple targets and pathways, suggesting its potential as a multi-target drug in treating this complex disorder. This study highlights the importance of further research into berberine's clinical applications for AD.
ANTIEPILEPTIC ACTIVITY OF AQUEOUS EXTRACT OF DATURA INOXIA LEAVES AGAINST SEIZURE INDUCED BY MAXIMAL ELECTROSHOCK AND CHEMICALLY IN MICE
Authors: Gupta Gaurav , Dua Kamal
Published: November 2024

The existing description is a study of the antiepileptic effect of Datura inoxia as a recognized herb that is used in Ayurveda for asthma, rheumatism, tumors, cough, fever, antimicrobials and epilepsy. Toxicity studies were carried out for standardizing a dose of aqueous extract of D. inoxia, maximal electroshock (MES) and isoniazid (INH) induced seizures. The Albino mice model were used for screening the antiepileptic activity. As per OECD guideline no. 423, up to 2000 mg/kg body weight of recommended dose of extract were found toxic. Animals were treated with aqueous extract of 200, 400 and 600 mg/kg body weight. Phenytoin was used as reference anticonvulsant drugs for comparison. The investigation stated the significant interruption in the INH-induced clonic seizure and in MES model, reduction in the period of hind leg extensor phase. In MES model, D. inoxia exhibited a significantly decrease in the duration of hindlimb extension with 400 and 600 mg/kg dose, respectively. Comparable results were obtained in INH model by delayed onset of a clonic seizure. Aqueous extract of D. inoxia exhibited antiepileptic action against MES and INH-induced epilepsy in animal models.

The aim of this study is to describe and analyze the various congenital malformations diagnosed in our department, and to cite some probable etiological factors. Over a one-year period, we collected 81 cases of newborns with clinically apparent congenital malformations. Boys were the most affected in 55.5% of cases, with a sex ratio of 1.25. Musculoskeletal malformations accounted for 30.8% (25 cases), followed by polymalformations 27.1% (22 cases), CNS malformations 22.2%, digestive tract and anterior abdominal wall malformations 12.3% (10 cases) and urogenital malformations 7. 4% (6 cases of hypospadias). We noted a relationship between the occurrence of congenital malformations and advanced maternal age (p<0.05), parity (p<0.05), the presence of a chronic pathology in the mother, mainly diabetes (p=0.02), and family history of congenital malformation (p<0.001).

Authors:   Istanbul, Turkiye., Arpacik Hakan
Published: November 2024

Calibration of digital thermometer is usually performed in laboratory environmental conditions, mostly at 23 degree Celsius Plus Minus 3 degree Celsius. However, after calibration, there may be circumstances where the device is used at different temperatures. Generally for on-site processes, it is not much possible to provide laboratory environmental conditions. In that situation, it is necessary to determine how the device responds to different temperatures. In this study, calibration measurement uncertainty effect for different ambient temperatures upon digital thermometer readout is investigated by exposing digital thermometer readout to temperature values of 10 degree Celsius and 40 degree Celsius.

Deforestation in Cote dIvoire, particularly in the Pale and Pouniakele classified forests, threatens biodiversity and essential ecosystem services. This study explores the potential of Pterocarpus erinaceus, Khaya senegalensis, and Isoberliniadoka to restore degraded ecosystems through reforestation projects, using maximum entropy modeling. The objective is to analyze the ecological niches of these species in order to optimize reforestation strategies. The results show that Pterocarpus erinaceus has a high tolerance to climate variations, with an average AUC of 0.878, and a concentrated distribution in the central and northern savannahs. The main factors influencing its presence are the standard deviation of temperatures (47%) and humidity (15.4%). Khaya senegalensis, on the other hand, is well adapted to open environments with low vegetation cover and high climate variability. Its mean AUC of 0.893 indicates a robust prediction, with areas of presence in the central-eastern part of the country. Major contributions include temperature standard deviation (21.4%) and NDVI (18.5%). Finally, Isoberliniadoka shows greater sensitivity to stable climatic conditions, with a mean AUC of 0.848 and a presence limited to northern regions, where forest cover (32.1%) and mean temperature (39.7%) are the dominant variables. Ecological differences are observed between species, mainly influenced by climate variability and vegetation density. This implies the importance of adapting reforestation programs to the environmental specificities of each species. This study offers practical recommendations to improve the sustainability of reforestation projects in Cote dIvoire, taking into account local ecological challenges.
