Authors: . Nurhikmawaty , Putranto Dinar Dwi Anugerah , Hadinata Febrian
Published: May 2024

Water balance of a river watershed is significantly essential for estimating water availability to meet domestic and economic demands. In this context, several parameters such as rainfall, temperature, evapotranspiration, deficit, and surplus soil water content play a crucial role in determining water availability of a river watershed based on land use, soil type, seasonal variations, and other environmental factors. Therefore, this research aimed to estimate water balance of the Rupit watershed using the Mock method. The results showed that monthly soil water content (deficit or surplus) was significantly influenced by changes in rainfall, temperature, and land use patterns. The period from November to April experiences water surplus, while May to October is characterized by deficit. Specifically, a different response to land use was observed, where the maximum annual water content was not surplus. The total runoff for the Rupit watershed calculated from the Mock method runoff simulation was 134,42 mm/year.

Burns and wounds destroy the physical skin which is the body’s natural barrier to the external environment. As a result the burned area is prone to infection and colonization by microorganisms. The most common pathogenic colonizing bacterium is Staphylococcus aureus. In order to solve the problem of bacterial resistance to antibiotics, some medic¬inal plants have been used so as to determine their effectiveness against S. aureus. Among these plants, we have herein used the alcoholic extract of berberine. Our results suggest that the alcoholic extract of berberine, at a con¬centration 250 mg/mL, can exert a high inhibitory efficacy against S. aureus.

A straightforward and sensitive method for high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) was created in order to separate and identify the di-stereoisomeric mixture of a spiro-oxalidinonic derivative of sorbinil. HPLC was carried out using a C18 reversed-phase column. The mobile phase used in the isocratic elution process was a 70:30 v/v combi¬nation of methanol and acetonitrile flowed at a rate of 2 mL/min. The procedure delivered the best result among the various attempts made. Two peaks were identified on the chromatogram, attributable to the two di-stereoisomers of the mixture analysed. Analogues of sorbinil, a powerful inhibitor of aldose reductase, have been synthesized and further tested on aldose reductase as mixtures of di-stereoisomers, exhibiting an IC50 in the order of the micromolar. The structure of the compounds was checked with nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. The chemical shifts were expressed in ppm scale δ.

The popularity of stevia is high, especially among diabetics and those looking to reduce their calorie-intake. The aim of this study was to compare the effects of a commercially-available stevia and of a Stevia rebaudiana leaf extract on the liver function and histology of rats. After preparing the Stevia rebaudiana leaf extract, 60 healthy adult male rats were randomly separated into three groups: untreated control, commercial stevia treatment (25 mg/kg), and Stevia rebaudiana leaf extract treatment (25 mg/kg). Our results show that after 60 days of treatment (oral administration), a significant elevation of the alanine aminotransferase (ALT) levels was observed in the commercial stevia-treated group, suggesting potential effects on liver function. The Stevia rebaudiana leaf extract-treated group also exhibited increased ALT levels. Moreover, the aspartate aminotransferase (AST) levels were found significantly increased in both of these treatment groups (when compared to the control group). Alkaline phosphatase levels were not found altered between groups. Histological-examinations, in spite of the elevated ALT and AST levels, exhibited no abnor¬malities in the liver. Although stevia is generally regarded as safe, this study underlines the importance of considering the type and form of stevia when evaluating its effects on liver health. Further study is warranted so as to elucidate the specific components and mechanisms responsible for the observed variations in liver enzymes, and to confirm the overall safety of stevia products.

Authors: Nonga Yomb Auriane , Roudet Elora , Joyeux Nathaly
Published: May 2024

Context: Post-stroke depression (PSD) affects about 60 % of aphasic patients during the first year after their stroke. However, there are only a few screening instruments of the PSD suited to this population and available in French. The SADQ-10, a hetero-questionnaire, is one of the most acceptable instruments for patients with aphasia but was developed in English.
Objective: This study aims to provide ambulatory health professionals with a screening tool for PSD adapted to aphasic patients. The purpose is to find out if the french version of the SADQ-10 (SADQ-A10) allows a reliable and valid screening of depression in stroke patients with aphasia.
Method and patients: This longitudinal study was conducted with Speech-Language Pathologists (SLP), in view of their close contact with aphasic patients. Each SLP had to complete the SADQ-A10 in regards to her patient(s) twice and the ADRS (the gold standard in this study) once. The correlations between the results of 23 study subjects were assessed.
Results: The french adaptation of the SADQ-10 demonstrated good test-retest reliability (rs = 0.91, p < 0.0001) and a correct internal consistency (α = 0,77) that could be improved. Its validity was also demonstrated (rs = 0.73, p < 0.0001).
Conclusion: This study provides elements supporting the validity and the reliability of the SADQ-A10. Still, it needs to be replicated in a larger and more representative sample of the target-population. The SADQ-A10 could then be used by health professionals and be the first instrument currently available in French, screening the presence of depression in ambulatory stroke patients with aphasia.

Corporate Debt Dynamics: Sectoral Clustering Analysis Using NACE Classification in Slovakia
Authors: Gajdosikova Dominika , Valaskova Katarina , Lopatka Agnieszka , Lazaroiu George
Published: May 2024

Research background: Many authors are currently exploring the impact of the industry on the financial structure of enterprises since there are statistically significant differences across various sectors, exposing the industry as a critical factor influencing corporate indebtedness. Clusters of sectors with homogeneous patterns of indebtedness and comparable levels of debt in various economic conditions may be determined, and, therefore, firms and their debt levels should be systematically examined and evaluated. Purpose of the article: The main aim of this paper is to evaluate the level of debt in the Slovak environment on a sample of 19,480 firms from various sectors and to identify the relationships among them to identify sectors with homogeneous patterns of indebtedness and, consequently, comprehend which sectors are the most stable and independent. Methods: Because NACE classification provides a framework for gathering and presenting statistical data based on many economic sectors, the number of input data was reduced based on cluster analysis. Using Ward's hierarchical clustering method using squared Euclidean distance, selected indebtedness ratios were used to define the sectors with comparable debt levels. To determine if there were statistically significant differences between the calculated debt ratios related to the economic sector, the Kruskal-Wallis test was performed. Subsequently, as the results indicated significant differences across various indebtedness ratios, a post hoc analysis was performed. Findings & Value added: A group of NACE activities in which enterprises are sufficiently comparable that it is appropriate to evaluate their debt levels using the chosen indebtedness ratios are considered to be in sectors C, F, G and H, which included to tertiary sector, while the sectors K, R and S may also be grouped in one cluster, while form the secondary sector. The key relevance of our findings is the benchmarking of selected sectors about indebtedness, which may be used to further examine their growth in each of the V4 nations, which is an essential area for the evolution of the European economy as a whole. Studies considering a relatively significant amount of capital structure determinants may be beneficial to owners and managers, regulators, and financial institutions since debt policy affects firm performance, value, and survival.

Biofilms in a cochlear implant can lead to severe intracranial complications like meningitis, and it can cause implant failure, thus requiring an explant, leading to financial and social loss. Meticulous sterility in the intraoperative period and proper hygiene in the postoperative period need to be emphasized in a cochlear implant Patient. We report a case of a 4-year-old girl child who presented with recurrent episodes of wound dehiscence through the cochlear implant site following the asymptomatic period after a course of antibiotics, and finally treated with debridement and flap reconstruction under general anaesthesia. We sought to use novel agents with antimicrobial activity in addition to debridement, vascularized soft tissue cover, and oral rifampicin after surgery. The child underwent serial surgeries, and finally, the use of medical grade Manuka honey and rifampicin demonstrated a successful response to biofilm up to a two-month follow-up period. This case revealed that biofilm is primarily a surgeon’s diagnosis.

Authors: Wallace Nurmina , Asiri Masnona
Published: May 2024

This study is to ascertain the degree of employee satisfaction at the government collecting agency under the Ministry of Transportation and Communications, Bangsamoro Ports Management Authority in Sulu. Using a purposive sample technique, 100 employees served as respondents for the quantitative-descriptive design. The majority were casual and college-educated, with a slightly skewed distribution of educational attainment. The majority were satisfied with their work environment, discipline, and pay. The Bangsamoro Port Management Authority employee respondents in Sulu have varying opinions about their level of satisfaction based on their gender, with the exception of work discipline. The standard deviations of all three tables show some variation among the employee respondents in their agreement, but not enough to affect the overall rating. Their level of happiness is not considerably impacted by other demographic factors like age, length of service, education, or appointment status. Accordingly, employee respondents who express greater satisfaction with one facet of their work are likely to do so with the others as well, and vice versa. The following recommendations are made by this study: Bangsamoro Ports Management Authority-Sulu may maintain and increase employee satisfaction by providing a fair, encouraging, and rewarding work environment; Bangsamoro Ports Management Authority-Sulu may improve employees' prospects for career advancement, particularly for those who have been employed permanently; Lastly, employees may seek and pursue personal and professional growth and development by taking advantage of the organization's opportunities and incentives as well as participating in lifelong learning and professional development activities and future studies may compare the employee’s satisfaction at Bangsamoro Ports Management Authority-Sulu with other ports management authorities in the region and the country.

Authors: Boyle Gregory J. , Stanley Gordon , Start K. Brian
Published: May 2024

The present study investigated the measurement overlap between the Sixteen Personality Factor Questionnaire (16PF), the Motivation Analysis Test (MAT), and the Eight State Questionnaire (8SQ). These multivariate instruments pertain to the psychological domains of personality, motivation and mood respectively. Canonical/redundancy analysis (Stewart & Love, 1968) was employed on a sample of 258 Australian college students for the 8SQ/MAT measures, and on a subsample of 135 students for the 16PF/MAT and 16PF/8SQ measures. Results demonstrated a marginal overlap in measurement variance for the 16PF and 8SQ, while only very slight redundancy was observed for the 16PF/MAT and 8SQ/MAT intersections. It was concluded that all three instruments are efficient measures of essentially separate psychological modalities.

Authors: Birenbaum Menucha , Montag Itzhak
Published: May 2024

The relationship between personality and sensation-seeking factors was investigated in a large sample of applicants for jobs where sensation seeking was of special relevance. Four distinct patterns of relationship between the two domains were found. The first reflected an association between the Thrill and Adventure Seeking (TAS) component of the Sensation Seeking Scale (SSS) and a personality profile of emotional adjustment, independence and inconventionality. The second pattern related the Experience Seeking (ES) component of SSS with a personality profile of sensitivity, nonconformity and low superego. The third pattern comprised the Boredom Susceptibility (BS) component of the SSS and personality traits that represent a tense person who constantly seeks changes. The fourth pattern reflected the relationships between the Disinhibition (Dis) component of the SSS and certain aspects of extraversion, especially those of impulsivity and group dependence. The findings were discussed in light of Zuckerman's theoretical framework concerning the nature of the sensation-seeking construct and its components.
Primary Ovarian Insufficiency: A Case of the Cart before the Horse
Authors: Hijane Karima , Nelson Lawrence M.
Published: May 2024

Overt Primary Ovarian Insufficiency (POI) is a rare disorder characterized by a constellation of other rare conditions, posing significant diagnostic and management challenges. This disorder necessitates a global mechanism for information exchange, streamlined data sharing, dynamic international partnerships, and the integration of artificial intelligence to enhance diagnostic accuracy through next-generation sequencing and specific antibody testing. Empowering women with POI involves providing them with access to the best available evidence at the point of care and facilitating informed decisions throughout their health journey. A key strategy is transcending the traditional biomedical model by adopting a population-based approach that encourages global cross-sectional collaboration. Optimal care for women with POI is achieved through an integrated, multidisciplinary approach that leverages diverse expertise to evaluate evidence and update care practices effectively. Initiatives are also underway to establish a patient advocacy group, emphasizing the importance of early diagnosis in allowing women to adapt family planning or preserve fertility. The overarching vision for POI research and care aims to cultivate proactive international partnerships and data sharing, driven by the needs and experiences of women with Overt POI.

Este artículo aborda el papel de la Compañía de Jesús en la difusión de las reliquias de mártires paleocristianosen el mundo hispánico, de acuerdo con el Concilio de Trento. La llegada de las reliquias al Nuevo Mundo coincide con la fundación de nuevos colegios jesuitas que privilegian el uso taumatúrgico de las reliquias y su papel en la extirpación de idolatrías. En el Nuevo Reino de Granada, las reliquias traídas por los Jesuitas desde las catacumbas romanas, en la segunda década del siglo XVII, procesionan en Santafé y Tunja en una fiesta barroca, que sacraliza el espacio de los templos de la Compañía de Jesús en las dos ciudades y refuerza su prestigio urbano en la monarquía católica. En Tunja, en la segunda mitad del siglo XVIII, tras la expulsión de los Jesuitas, las reliquias inician un largo periodo de deterioro hasta desaparecer tras las guerras de Independencia.
Los Jesuitas y sus raíces
Authors: Del Rey Fajardo José
Published: May 2024

El Santo de Loyola muere a los 65 años de edad. Para entonces, la Compañía de Jesús estaba presente entres continentes con casi mil miembros, un centenar de residencias y 50 colegios. Aquel ingente trabajoapostólico no era sino el resultado de la creatividad de la vida espiritual de Ignacio, su fundador. Entre otrasempresas creativas, los centros educativos y las misiones se evidenciaron como vitales para la forja de laidentidad jesuita. Este proceso identitario fue acompañado, en la dinámica pedagógica y académica delmagis, por disciplinas como la astronomía, la cartografía, el arte, la lingüística, la etnología y laantropología junto a la historia y la literatura. Estos elementos, que se superaron a sí mismos en el planúnico de la mayor gloria de Dios, dieron forma al modelo de evangelización y de educación institucionalpropuesto por la Compañía de Jesús. Allí se hundieron sus raíces y su posibilidad de persistencia en eltiempo y en la historia.

This study aims to provide many modern solutions to treat improper water and reuse it again, whether for humans or agriculture. Especially after climatic changes, high temperatures, the increasing population and increased average of evaporation from fresh water and the industrial progress associated with the increase in water. Although the water sources are limited, thus, the rest of the available usable water is threatening the economy. Different efficient techniques including solvent extraction, response surface methodology, ballasted electro-flocculation by using aluminium electrodes, botanical, microbial treatment, membrane filtration, ion exchange, chemical precipitation, and adsorption can be used to reduce the risk of heavy metals from polluted water. In this review article, we present more than one treatment for the treatment of polluted water, whether using natural ores such as clay minerals, for example, montmorillonite, kaolinite and zeolite, or chemical or biological methods and other modern methods, noting that each method has advantages and disadvantages, according to economic cost and availability of ores materials used, whether natural or manufactured. In addition, various articles such as zeolite, clay and by-products of various industries can use adsorbents. Exclude this material is natural, synthetic polymer adsorbents are commercially available. Enabled carbon is also a great capacitor derived from natural organic matter. The properties of activated carbon which make it effective in removing the pollutants of aqueous solutions are significant specific area, porous structure and thermo-stability.

A Comparative Study of Two Persian Translations of Huckleberry Finn’s Similes
Authors: Aghaeipour Sanaz , Rostami Masoud
Published: May 2024

The present research aimed to investigate strategies translators used to render figures of speech such as simile in The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. To achieve this aim, 36 similes were analysed and compared with their Persian equivalents. Then, Perrine’s (2007) theory was employed to find the applied strategies for rendering simile by the translators. After identifying the applied translation strategies, the analyses were performed to answer the research questions. The translators used five strategies for translating the similes. Omission of the simile, and replacement of the vehicle with a different vehicle are the most frequent strategies for translating the similes. The findings of the present research can be useful for translators, especially the novice ones. They can be aware of the existing problems in translating similes so that they can avoid making the same mistakes in their works.
Globalization of Patent Laws through Trade Agreements, and Pressures
Authors: Yusuf Abdullah Mohammed
Published: May 2024

Given that patent law emerged in domestic systems, there was an obvious diversity of patent regimes. With the advent of cross-border movement of resources, including inventions, there was a need for a harmonized patent regime. The issue went to another level with the entry into force of the WTO/TRIPS Agreement, which requires WTO members to enact new patent laws or amend existing ones to make them TRIPS compliant. The Ethiopian Patent Law, which was enacted in 1995, is strangely TRIPS compliant, tempting many to think that it had Ethiopia‟s forthcoming accession in mind. However, with Ethiopia yet to complete the accession process, there are further pressures from industrialized countries to ensure that stringent patent rules are complied with in developing countries. This article examines TRIPS, the Cotonou Agreement and AGOA as effective instruments of ensuring compliance. It is argued that the Ethiopian patent system will continue to observe TRIPS and other standards as dictated by the Global North.

Investigating the Elastic Response of Smart Cylinders Under Asymmetric Loading
Authors: Eftekhari Malihe
Published: May 2024

This paper investigates the hygrothermal-magneto-elastic response of functionally graded piezomagnetic (FGPM) cylinders under asymmetric loading. The cylinders are supported by a Winkler-type elastic foundation, and their properties vary with the radius according to a power-law function. By solving 2D equations of Fickian diffusion and Fourier relations, the distribution of asymmetric moisture concentration and temperature field is determined. Incorporating constitutive equations into mechanical and magnetic equilibrium equations yields three second-order partial differential equations. The equations are solved using the separation of variables and complex Fourier series. Simulation results demonstrate the influence of hygrothermal loading, magnetic field, elastic foundation, and material inhomogeneity on the cylinder's response.
