Authors: Niajalili Maryam
Published: November 2023

Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the effect of Tecar therapy on neuropathy symptoms and tibial nerve conduction velocity in individuals with diabetes. Patients and methods: The single-blind, randomized, sham-controlled clinical trial was conducted between January 2019 and October 2019. Twenty-four type 2 diabetics (8 males, 16 females; mean age: 60.4±8.9 years; range, 40 to 78 years) with peripheral neuropathy were randomly allocated to control (n=12) and study (n=12) groups. The study group received the capacitive Tecar therapy with 10 to 30% intensity and infrared radiation in 10 sessions. The controls received the same protocol with zero intensity. The neuropathy symptoms and nerve conduction velocity were evaluated at baseline, after 10 sessions, and six weeks after the end of sessions. Results: There were no significant differences in variables (p>0.05). In this way, the homogeneity of the data variables was confirmed. Moreover, the results of two-way mixed analysis of variance showed that improvement of neuropathy symptoms in the study group was significantly more than controls in all stages (p<0.001). After 10 sessions, the results of post hoc analysis showed that the neuropathy symptoms and tibial nerve conduction velocity were significantly improved in both groups (p<0.001). The improvements were still present at six weeks in the study group (p<0.05). However, there was no change in these outcomes after six weeks in the control group (p>0.05). Conclusion: Tecar therapy could improve neuropathy symptoms and tibial nerve conduction velocity in diabetic individuals with peripheral neuropathy. Therefore, the use of this method to control the symptoms of diabetic patients can be recommended.

Published: November 2023

Moral decline and uneducated behavior from students is an inevitable challenge in the world of education. Akhlakul Karimah character can be created through religious culture in the school environment. Teachers as a superior sector, role models and role models for students have an important role in internalizing this religious culture. This research is qualitative research with a descriptive approach. Using observation, interviews, and documentation as data collection methods. The data source comes from interviews with the head of the institution and four teachers. Data analysis uses an interactive model, namely through the process of data collection, data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The results of the research show that the strategies adopted by teachers to realize students' religious culture are cultivating the 6S (Senyum, Salam, Salim, Sapa, Sopan, Santun), getting used to praying together before and after studying, muroja'ah short surahs, reading and memorizing Al Quran, getting used to shalat together, turning on sholawat chants, watching the story of Nabiyullah, decorating the classroom walls with calligraphy, hijaiyah letters, and Islamic nuances, cultivating an attitude of mutual tolerance and mutual respect, getting used to saying bismillah, alhamdulillah, Masha Allah, Subhanallah, Allahu Akbar, and muroja'ah Surah Al Kahf. Supporting factors for the realization of students' religious culture are students' internal motivation, school policy on conducting study tours, exemplary teacher, adequate school facilities and infrastructure, and the establishment of cooperation between teachers and teachers, teachers and parents, teachers and students. Meanwhile, the inhibiting factor for the realization of students' religious culture is that students come from different regions.

Authors: Ge Ryan
Published: November 2023

Sarcopenia is characterized by the loss of muscle function and mass as one ages. Muscle stem cells (MuSCs) play a central role to this process, as it is responsible for muscle repair and regeneration. The progressive loss of function in aging skeletal muscle stem cells is thought to be highly influential. This study aims to analyze RNASeq data obtained from young and old skeletal muscle stem cells of Mus musculus and uncover differentially expressed genes between the two groups. These differentially expressed genes were then analyzed to uncover key pathways crucial to the process of MuSC aging. This includes retinol metabolism and neuroactive ligand-receptor interactions.
A Systematic Literature Review of Online English Learning Engagement
Authors: Xu Qing
Published: November 2023

English learning engagement refers to learners’ emotional, behavioral, and cognitive participation in relevant English learning activities (Kuh, 2001; Balwant, 2017). Learning engagement is closely connected with learners and learning courses, and is an important indicator of learners’ learning process (CAI Chen, 2021), and has a strong correlation with learning outcomes and learning performance (Robinson& Hullinger, 2008). With the application of modern technology in foreign language teaching, online English learning engagement has gradually become a hot topic in the field of foreign language studies. This study uses the systematic literature review method to sort out the relevant research on online English learning engagement at home and abroad, and the analysis finds that: 1) Most studies on online English learning engagement focus on the effects of teacher factors, learners’ factors and peer factors on online English learning engagement. 2) Mixed methods are used in most studies, such as structural equation modeling of data through questionnaires or reporting relevant data after descriptive statistical analysis to explain the research suggestions on the influence mechanism of online English learning engagement. 3) In the online English learning environment, the overall level of learners’ learning engagement is medium to above, but the level of behavioral engagement is low, which is related to the lack of interaction in online learning. Meanwhile, the relationship structure between various dimensions of learning engagement is complex and affected by other factors, which requires more in-depth exploration. The study suggests that educators should pay attention to learners’ interest in online learning and social interaction, and enhance peer interaction and learners’ self-efficacy through timely adjustment of teaching strategies, reasonable provision of teacher support, and comprehensively improving learners’ engagement in online English learning, to promote English learning.

Technology-Mediated Pragmatics Instruction: Learning Request-Making Through Game-Based Tasks in L2 Learners
Authors: Qin Yuqing
Published: November 2023

This study investigates the impact of technology-mediated pragmatic teaching on L2 learners. Through task-based games, we explored how to instruct English learners in China to learn the speech act of request-making. The game in this study showcases several scenarios to players, including virtual conversations between learners and professors, employers, and friends on a virtual American campus. 105 undergraduate students from a university in China participated in this study, covering 10 virtual request scenarios. They are supposed to choose the most appropriate expression in the context presented in the text and video. According to their choice, the corresponding video of the game will display real-time feedback from the interlocutor, which is the authentic reaction and consequence of the learner’s selection, that is, the other party’s response to the request, such as happily accepting, reluctantly accepting, or refusing the request. The results indicate that in game-based teaching, learners gain much more productive knowledge than receptive knowledge. The participants improved their productive knowledge of making requests after playing the game and maintained this gain at delayed post-tests, but their receptive knowledge remained almost unchanged. In addition, metapragmatic knowledge is positively correlated with the participants’ learning outcome of request-making.

Authors: Debbarma Bimal , Sumer Peter De Roux , Singh Loushambam Samananda , Binan Kmensiful , Lyngdoh Waibiangki
Published: November 2023

The study investigates the use of liquisolid compacts, a revolutionary pharmaceutical formulation technique, to improve the dissolution rate of weakly water-soluble medicines, with gliclazide as a case study. Nonvolatile solvents such as polyethylene glycol (PEG) 400, tween 80, and propylene glycol were used to make liquidsolid tablets, together with carrier ingredients such as Avicel PH102, starch, or HPMC, and Aerosil 200 as a coating material. The drug-excipient interaction was studied utilizing techniques such as differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The produced tablets were tested for appearance, weight fluctuation, hardness, friability, drug content, and in-vitro drug release before being compared to traditional tablets (control) to determine the improvement in dissolution rate. The optimum formulation was subjected to stability tests. FTIR and DSC investigations revealed no significant drug-excipient interactions. All pill formulations met the requirements. Liquisolid tablets significantly increased gliclazide dissolving when compared to conventional tablets, which was ascribed to improved wetting qualities and particle effective surface area. According to the study, the liquisolid technique is a potential approach for increasing the dissolving rate of poorly soluble pharmaceuticals. The tablets remained stable at accelerated settings for three months, demonstrating the efficacy and feasibility of the liquisolid approach in increasing gliclazide dissolving rates.

Authors: Siddique Shifa , Shankarishan Priyanka , Habibi Munquad
Published: November 2023

Avian pox is an infectious, slow-spreading, highly contagious viral disease that has been reported in numerous number of species of birds. These affect domesticated and free-ranging birds, resulting in economic losses in the poultry industry. They are thought to be highly host-specific but certain factors have changed this specificity pattern. In recent times, the emergence of avian pox infection has drastically increased involving new species as well. Infection is commonly observed in anatomical locations where feathers are absent, such as the toes, legs, or head, as well as in the mucous membranes of the oral cavity and upper respiratory tract. Quails and hawks are usually  unaffected, but chickens, turkeys, canaries, and pigeons are highly susceptible to infection. While death can occur in severely affected birds, the disease more commonly results in weight loss, stunted growth, and decreased egg production. It is interesting to observe that the ailment was initially recorded in feathered creatures in the seventeenth century. In our review, we conducted a comprehensive literature search to collect relevant data. This search was primarily carried out using reputable academic databases, including PubMed and Google Scholar. The specific search terms and keywords employed in these databases are Avipox and Fowl pox. Additionally, the references have been precisely cited to ensure transparency and provide readers with access to the sources used in our study. This article contains all the details of the Avipox virus-like morphology, host, prevention, and treatment

Failures were examined as out-of-plane, in-plane, and corner damages. In the examinations, it has been determined that the failure mechanisms are trigerred by unqualified wall-slab and wall-floor connections, insufficient axial load and material-strength, poor workmanship and lack of engineering service. In addition, how an earthquake resistant masonry structure could be build also discussed.
Virág-járvány. Egy Maros menti dísznövény-termelő köz(ös)ség a Covid19-világjárvány idején
Authors: Nagy Zsolt
Published: November 2023

2020. március 24-én a Union Fleurs nemzetközi virágkereskedelmi egyesület nyilatkozatot adott ki a Covid19-válság által sújtott dísznövény-ágazat helyzetéről. A Copa-Cogeca (Európai Gazdálkodók és Európai Termelőszövetkezetek) egy 2020. áprilisában megjelent tanulmányában az említett nemzetközi virágkereskedelmi egyesület által tett megállapításokat ismételte meg, azaz kijelentette, hogy a virág- és dísznövényszektor a koronavírus által legsúlyosabban érintett mezőgazdasági ágazat volt az EU-ban, ugyanis a legtöbb tagállamban – így Magyarországon és Romániában is – egy közel 80%-os történelmi kereslet- és fogyasztás-visszaesést jelentett, és a vírus sajnos a lehető legrosszabb időben sújtott le, hiszen a tavaszi időszak adta volna a dísznövénytermelők legnagyobb forgalmát. Esettanulmányomban egy erdélyi, Maros menti település, Udvarfalva (Curteni) virágtermelőit vizsgálom. Vajon e koronavírus által előidézett globális jelenség milyen formákban nyilvánult meg lokálisan egy olyan településen, ahol közel 60 család él a dísznövények termesztéséből és eladásából? Meg tudta-e tartani e köz(ös)ség a térségi–regionális versenyképességét? A gazdaságantropológia által megtorpanóknak és kiváróknak nevezett termelők csoportját gyarapították az udvarfalviak, avagy a felmerülő akadályokra gyors és reziliens választ találtak? E krízis miként vált az ő életükben identitásformáló tényezővé? A járványhelyzet Udvarfalván is kiélezte, megnehezítette a cselekvési, döntési helyzeteket, új szempontokat, értékeket érvényesített. Az udvarfalvi virágtermelők közösségének példáján is azt láthatjuk, hogy egy új helyzet, és tulajdonképpen bármilyen válságos állapot kedvező változást is hozhat a közösségek életében. Bármely krízis-, szükség- vagy kényszerhelyzetben egy közösség tagjai szinte ösztönösen, de jórészt tudatosan is igyekezhetnek innovatív válaszok keresésével megoldást találni a problémáikra. Az egyik út mindig a válságban rejlő lehetőségek felfedezése és kihasználása, a rendelkezésre álló értékek, lehetőségek, erőforrások közösségi újraértékelése és hasznosítása, a valódi reziliens válaszok megtalálása.
„Sriću će vam donest, a nevolju odnest!” – „Szerencsét hoz nektek és a bajt elviszi!” A horvátkimlei Borbála-járás szokása a 20–21. században

Mate Mersich Miloradić horvátkimlei papköltő-tudós 1921-ben, miután a nyugat-magyarországi horvátok többsége Ausztriához került, alkotta meg a gradistyei horvát terminust. A két világháború közötti időszakban már általánossá vált a kifejezés kiterjesztő értelmű használata: beleértették a horvát diaszpóra többi részén, Nyugat-Magyarországon, Nyugat-Szlovákiában és Morvaországban élő horvátokat is, akik a 16. századi török háborúk elől menekülve telepedtek le. A gradistyei horvát lakosság létezése, fennmaradása kapcsán immár bő kétszáz évesek a megmaradásukkal kapcsolatos aggodalmak. Jogosan vetődik fel a kérdés, hogy milyen hagyományokat talál a néprajzkutató, gyűjthetők-e egyáltalán hagyományok a 21. században, a betelepedés 500. évfordulójához közeledve a nyugat-magyarországi horvátok körében. A tanulmányban egy konkrét szokás, a horvátkimlei Borbála-járás kapcsán mutatom be, mit jelenthet egy közösség számára, ha valamely szokásgyakorlata felkerül az ország néprajzi térképére; milyen lehetőségei vannak egy közösségnek a többször elsiratott hagyományai újjáélesztésére, s miként hat vissza a közösség életére, ha kihalófélben lévő hagyományaiba – a korszellemhez igazítva – új életet lehel. A tanulmány nem az eltűnő, hanem a rugalmasan megmaradó, reziliens hagyománykonstrukciókra, illetve nem egy etnikai közösség eltűnésének, asszimilációinak mutatóira, hanem a megmaradás, az identitás megőrzésének színtereire fókuszál, és hangsúlyosan vizsgálja az egyének és a néprajztudomány szerepét a hagyományőrzés folyamatában.
A helyi hagyományok szerepe a közösségi reziliencia kiépítésében a mezőcsáti járásban

A közösségi rezilienciával kapcsolatos szakirodalom alapvetése, hogy a közösségi ünnepek, fesztiválok – miközben szórakoztatnak és gazdasági célokat is szolgálnak – hozzájárulnak a (közösségen belüli és kívüli) szociális kapcsolatok építéséhez és elmélyítéséhez, erősítik a közösség belső kohézióját, illetve a helyhez való kötődést. Ehhez kapcsolódva tanulmányomban az Észak-Magyarországi régióban fekvő mezőcsáti járás – amely társadalmi krízisövezetként definiálható szegregálódó, erősen sérülékeny térség – települési-járási szintű közösségi rendezvényeit teszem vizsgálat tárgyává, áttekintve azok kialakulásának folyamatát a rendszerváltástól kezdve. Ennek során kiemelt figyelmet fordítok annak bemutatására, hogy a lokális közösség miként kezdte el felértékelni hagyományait, hogyan és milyen céllal jeleníti meg azokat a közösség egészét megszólító eseményeken, milyen szerepet játszanak e folyamatban a külső ösztönzések (fejlesztési stratégiák, pályázati kiírások), illetve a helyi civil szervezetek, hogyan járulnak hozzá a helyi identitás és kohézió növeléséhez, továbbá milyen problémákat vet fel a helyi hagyományokkal való azonosulás kérdése a térségben zajló demográfiai és migrációs folyamatokkal összefüggésben.

The present experiment was conducted to examine the influence of the seeds sowing date on parameters like height of plant, number of the fruiting branches per flax plant, number of capsules, quantity of seeds per flax plant, weight (g) of (1000) seed of the Linseed (Linum usitatissimum L.) at the Sheringal, Dir Upper, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan. Experiment was designed in randomized complete block, consisting of three partitions. The sowing times of the plots were kept (1st February, 15th February and 1st March). The characters studied were the number of branches bearing fruit per plant, number of capsules per flax plant, seed number per capsule, plant height, and 1000 seeds weight. The data revealed that, sowing time has an important impact on height of the plant, numbers of capsules per plant and on the quantity of seeds in each pod. Mean comparison indicated that sum of the main fruiting branches of plant, number of capsule per plant, seeds number per pod in flax, plant height (cm), and 1000 flaxseeds weight were at the highest level observed in second sowing date (15th February). It was also noted that sowing date executed a positive change on all traits. The results showed that the yield of 1st February, 15th February and 1st March for number of seeds/capsule were 6.07, 6.20 and 5.18; likewise the parameter of 1000 seeds weight 7.31 g, 8.26 g and 6.03 g. It was concluded that early sowing period had a positive effect on all the parameters studied.

Objective: In this study, it was investigated how chronic exercise affects hippocampus tissue damage and ZnT3 levels in diabetic rats.
Methods: The 40 adult rats wereused in the study were divided into 4 equal groups: Control (G1), Exercise Control (G2), Diabetes (G3), Diabetes+Exercise (G4). Diabetes was induced in animals in G3 and G4 by injecting intraperitoneal streptozotocin (STZ) twice, 24 hours apart. The animals in G2 and G4 were runedon the rat treadmill for 45 minutes daily for 4 weeks. MDA (spectrophotometric method) and ZnT3 (ELISA method) levels were determined in hippocampus tissue samples obtained from animals sacrificed at the end of the experimental procedures.
Results: In the current study, the highest MDA and lowest ZnT3 levels in the hippocampus tissue were obtained in the diabetes group (G3) (P<0.05). Chronic exercise prevented increased hippocampal tissue damage in diabetic rats and reversed decreased ZnT3 levels (P<0.05).
Conclusion: The results of our study showed that 4 weeks of chronic exercise could be prevent increased tissue damage in the hippocampus tissue of diabetic rats and ameliorate the decreased ZnT3 levels. The data obtained in this study indicate that ZnT3 levels in diabetic rats may be an indicator of hippocampal tissue damage.
