The Impact of Parental Mediation and Social Media Use Frequency on Adolescent Mental Health in China
Authors: Yang Congyi
Published: December 2024

With the development of the new media era, people have begun to use social media, and teenagers are no exception. The complex and diverse information and content online pique their curiosity, leading them to become immersed in the online world for extended periods, unable to extricate themselves. Furthermore, inappropriate parenting styles have led to an increasing number of adolescents experiencing a range of mental health issues due to social media usage. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the impact and relationship between the frequency of social media use in China and parental mediation on adolescents’ mental health. The analysis of adolescents’ mental health will be conducted through the lens of parental mediation theory. This study used a survey method for data collection, targeting adolescents aged 10 to 19. At least 30 responses were collected for each age group, with 19 questions. Research has confirmed that the frequency of social media use is negatively correlated with the mental health of adolescents, while parental media restrictions and active mediation are positively correlated with adolescents’ mental health. Through this research, it is hoped that parents will remain attentive to their children’s physical and mental development recognize the pessimistic consequences that social media can have on their children’s overall well-being, and work together to create an environment that promotes both online health and mental well-being, allowing young people to grow in a positive and loving atmosphere.
Attempts and Inferences of the Four-Color Theorem
Authors: Zhang Xuanhan
Published: December 2024

The Four-Color Theorem is a classic problem in graph theory, stating that any planar map can be colored using no more than four colors so that no adjacent regions share the same color. Since 1976, when Appel and Haken used computer assistance to prove this theorem, it has been considered solved. However, due to its complexity and the difficulty of manually verifying the proof, some mathematicians still have doubts. This study proposes a new logical approach to provide an alternative proof for the Four-Color Theorem. Using a combination of theoretical derivations and graph theory tools, the paper first analyzes the basic structures of planar graphs, then use inductive reasoning to confirm coloring patterns in small graphs, gradually extending the method to more complex graphs. It developed a specific algorithm that simplifies vertices and edges in planar graphs, showing that any complex planar graph can be reduced to a few basic shapes, allowing it to be colored with fewer than four colors. Our results show that this reasoning model can confirm the Four-Color Theorem for a range of planar graphs without computer assistance. Though not covering all graph types, this model offers new insights for future research, especially in simplifying large graphs.

Authors: Ban Qingyi
Published: December 2024

In the 18th century, a large number of new furniture forms appeared in France. Furniture is inseparable from people’s lives. It forms a part of people’s property, projects their identity, and marks people’s real or imagined social status. This article uses a secrétaire made in 1776 by Martin Carlon as a case study to explore the historical reasons and social symbolism behind the flourishing of this French furniture form in the 18th century. By analyzing the source of raw materials, functional design, and meaning of this secrétaire, this article concludes that the French colonial history, the nobility’s fascination with Oriental art, and the emergence of innovative technology all contributed significantly to the advancement of furniture. In addition, the secrétaire, as a writing instrument, symbolized gender and class and later evolved into a symbol of female literacy, taste, and social status. The case of Marie-Josephine Laguerre, the first owner of this secrétaire, reflects this intersection between furniture, gender, and social class.

A Review on Peutz-Jeghers Syndrome
Authors: Bandaru Lakshmi Himaja
Published: December 2024

Peutz-Jeghers Syndrome (PJS) is a rare inherited autosomal dominant genetic disorder which mainly affects the gastrointestinal tract. The clinical features of PJS include the gastrointestinal polyposis, mucocutaneous melanocyte macules and risk of cancer. For the diagnosis of the Peutz-Jeghers Syndrome, the clinical findings are necessary. Serine/Threonine Kinase 11 (STK 11) is a heterozygous pathogenic variant which plays an important role for identifying the individuals at risk to develop PJS. Endoscopic monitoring with polypectomy can reduce the number of urgent abdominal incision and loss of bowel due to intestinal obstruction (intussusception). Imaging of the small intestine, balloon assisted and intraoperative enteroscopy are useful for removing the deep & large distal polyps within the small bowel. There are different approaches for small intestinal imaging such as video capsule endoscopy (VCE), CT enterography and magnetic resonance enterography. Standard treatment is required for the management of intestinal obstruction and tumours. On the basis of family history and the other clinical features, the prophylaxis for reducing the risk of breast cancer can include mastectomy. Monitoring of the children and adolescents at the age of 8 years or if negative, at the age of 18 years is essential by using the colonoscopic and upper endoscopic imaging. Repeat the screening for every 1 to 3 years, if there is any presence of polyps identified based on the size, frequency and histo-pathological aspects of the polyps. Genetic counselling involves the process of providing information to the family members or to the individuals regarding the nature of disease, inheritance and association of the genetic disorders which can benefit them to take their personal and the remedial decisions. Predictive testing can be helpful for the individuals at risk without symptoms among the family members. In individuals at risk, there is a necessity to undergo the evaluation of the cancer risk with or without genetic testing for understanding the remedial, psychosocial and ethical consequences. DNA banking will beneficial for further understanding of the genes, alleles and the diseases even though the probands have no confirmation in the aspect of molecular assessment and genetic alteration.
Formulation and Evaluation of Metformin Controlled Release Tablets Using Tamarind Seed Gum Powder as a Natural Polymer
Authors: Kosuru Slesha Kumar , G Mounika , R Jyoshna , H Kodanda Rao , G Lakshmi Vara Prasad Varma
Published: December 2024

Aim: This research aims to develop controlled-release tablets of metformin using tamarind seed gum powder as the matrix-forming agent.
Methods: Tamarind seeds were thoroughly cleaned, boiled and dehulled manually to remove the seed coat. The dehulled seeds were then dried, ground into a fine powder and sieved using a 60-mesh screen. The resulting gum powder was purified and subjected to drying under controlled conditions to ensure its suitability for use as a polymer. Controlled-release tablets were prepared through direct compression. Tamarind seed gum powder was incorporated at varying concentrations (5%-20% w/w) to optimize the drug release profile. The evaluation of the tablets included both pre-compression and post-compression parameters.
Results: The drug release profile of metformin from the tablets showed sustained release over a 12-hour period. Increasing the concentration of tamarind seed gum in the formulations led to a slower release rate, which can be attributed to the gum's ability to swell and form a gel-like matrix, thereby controlling the drug release. The optimized formulation best fit the Higuchi model, suggesting that diffusion was the predominant mechanism governing the release of metformin from the tablets. As the concentration of tamarind seed gum increases (from 5% to 20%), the rate of drug release decreases, showing a slower release over the 12-hour period. This can be explained by the enhanced gel formation and swelling capacity of tamarind seed gum, which restricts the diffusion of the drug. Tablets stored at 40°C/75% RH for three months showed no significant changes in drug release or physicochemical properties, confirming the stability of the formulation.
Conclusion: Tamarind seed gum powder exhibits significant potential as a natural polymer for controlled-release formulations of metformin hydrochloride. This study underscores its ability to achieve sustained drug release, maintaining consistent pharmacokinetic profiles. The results support the development of cost-effective, biocompatible drug delivery systems that harness the benefits of natural resources, offering a sustainable alternative to synthetic polymers in pharmaceutical applications.

Published: December 2024

Por meio da comparação feita neste trabalho, verificou-se que o Poder Judiciário brasileiro tem adotado diretrizes de Linguagem Simples que estão relacionadas às diretrizes do padrão internacional estabelecido pela respectiva norma técnica ISO, de maneira relativamente uniforme.
Todavia, nota-se que a norma internacional é mais detalhada que as regulamentações dos tribunais brasileiros. Isso pode ocorrer porque a norma ISO se propõe a um caráter mais didático que os atos normativos dos tribunais. 
Ainda assim, considera-se necessário realizar estudos sobre a relevância de aplicação, para o contexto das comunicações do Judiciário, de algumas diretrizes que não foram abordadas pelos tribunais.
As principais lacunas encontradas foram nos aspectos relacionados à estrutura e design dos documentos, construção de frases e parágrafos e avaliação dos documentos (por meio de revisão e de testes com o público-alvo).
Esses aspectos podem ser melhor analisados e considerados para inclusão em futuras regulamentações sobre o assunto nos demais tribunais ou ainda para inclusão em materiais didáticos (guias, manuais, cartilhas) próprios de cada tribunal.
