ADVENT OF THE GRAPHIC NOVEL: A NEW GENRE OF LITERARY REPRESENTATION
Authors: Anuradha
Published: January 2025

While specialists in literature are now giving more serious attention to various forms of popular culture, much of the current research remains limited to historical overviews or thematic studies. This becomes evident when trying to critically analyze newer phenomena, such as the graphic novel. The term Graphic Novel was first introduced by Will Eisner in 1978 to describe his comic book collection, A Contract with God. Steve Roiteri defines a graphic novel as a standalone story in comics form, published as a book. This definition sets the graphic novel apart from the comic book, which is typically a short magazine, about 32 pages long, published serially with a soft cover and on inexpensive paper. Traditionally, comic books have been very affordable and primarily targeted at children and adolescents, although they are not exclusively read by them.

Authors: Patle Anshul , Ghosh Ajay Kumar
Published: January 2025

The role of Madhya Pradesh (MP) in the development of Hindi cinema has often been overshadowed by larger film hubs like Mumbai and Kolkata. However, the state has made significant contributions to both the creative and physical landscape of the Hindi film industry. This paper seeks to explore the complex relationship of MP with Bollywood through a historical perspective, highlighting MP's heritage, the number of iconoclast filmmakers and actors it has produced, and how its diverse geography that has become a panoramic background of pots.Madhya Pradesh shares a long-standing cultural heritage that includes traditional art forms, literature, and performing arts; these elements have formed a strong basis for cinematic storytelling. MP’s writers and poets, from Premchand to Harishankar Parsai, have left a profound imprint on literary style of Hindi cinema and in many ways laid the ideological space for a realist narrative that in later decades formed the predominant arc for Bollywood to procreate. And then, the greats from MP in the form of Ashok Kumar, Kishore Kumar and Jaya Bachchan scored immensely, and their contributions in terms of acting, music and direction went a long way in taking the Hindi film industry to a new level.While the human element moat’s work to the advantage of MP, the state’s geographical diversity from the craggy terrain of Chambal Valley to the temple splendour of Khajuraho - has worked as the eye-catching background, making studio-visits a preferred option in this part of the country. Films, including Bandit Queen, Paan Singh Tomar, Rajneeti, and Newton have mined the state's landscapes and socio-political context, bringing depth to portrayals of rural and urban life in India.In fact, both the history and present of Madhya Pradesh in Hindi cinema prove that this Indian state is a pivotal contributor to the industry both on and off screen. The purpose of this paper to make people realize how MP’s cultural, geographical and human resources significantly contributed to the growth of Hindi cinema while also shedding light on the challenges faced by the state as well as its potential in the field of cinema.

In history, wherever the British government established its supremacy, there was a huge change in the ecology due to their policies. Changes in the environment, whether voluntary or involuntary, happened due to their policies. This change in the environment happened slowly, but its effect was felt immediately by the local people. Delhi was under the British Empire from 1803 to 1947 and during this period the ecology of Delhi also changed a lot. Initially, from 1815 to 1911, Delhi went through various ecological changes, after 1912 there was a rapid change in the ecology of Delhi. Delhi's forests, gardens and natural water sources were exhausted very quickly.
A támogatott betahisztin hatóanyagtartalmú készítmények gyógyszerpiaci trendjének alakulása Magyarországon a 2003 és 2023 közötti időszakban
Authors: Piros Zsuzsanna , Boruzs Klára
Published: January 2025

A szabadalmi védelem lejárta után a generikus készítmények piacra lépése költségcsökkentő hatású lehet, így az egészségügyi rendszerekben források szabadulhatnak fel.
Célkitűzésünk az volt, hogy elemezzük a betahisztintartalmú generikus készítmények magyarországi
gyógyszerpiacra való belépését, különös tekintettel a gyógyszerek hozzáférhetőségére.
A betahisztin a szédülés kezelésére alkalmazott gyógyszer. A betegség kísérőtünetei lehetnek például a
fülzúgás, a halláscsökkenés, a hányinger és a hányás.
Kutatásunkat a Nemzeti Egészségbiztosítási Alapkezelő által közzétett gyógyszerforgalmi adatok felhasználásával végeztük. A vizsgálatunkhoz szükséges indikátorokat (terápiás napok száma, fogyasztói ár, társadalombiztosítási támogatás) évi bontásban használtuk fel a 2003 és 2023 közötti évekre vonatkozóan.
A betahisztin hatóanyagra vonatkozó éves terápiás napok számának forgalma 37 178 949 (±3 870 555)
középérték körül ingadozott. Trendvonala lineáris volt, mely nem mutat emelkedő tendenciát a vizsgált
húszéves időszakban. A generikus készítmények teljes részesedése 2007-ben már 0,6%-os volt, 2010-ben
pedig már meghaladta az 50%-ot, és az originális készítmény kivonulása előtti évben már 83,6%-os mértékű volt. A betahisztin átlagos fogyasztói ára napi terápiás költségben kifejezve 37,0 forintról 26,4 Ft-ra
csökkent.
A generikus árverseny a betegek gyógyszerhez való hozzáférését nagyban segíti, különösen pénzügyi
szempontból, az egészségügyi rendszerek oldalán jelentős megtakarításokhoz vezet, de hosszú távon
szükséges megtalálni az egyensúlyt, és szükség esetén egyéb ösztönzőket, hogy a gyógyszerek elérhetőségét a változó piacok mellett is biztosítani tudjuk a betegek számára.

2020-ban világszerte 1,1 milliárd látáskárosodott személyt tartottak számon, akik közül 43 millióan éltek
vaksággal.
A legjobb megoldás a szembetegségek csökkenésére a prevenció. Összefoglaló közleményünkben a szemészeti kórképeket és azok megelőzési lehetőségeit elemeztük, a téma szempontjából releváns hazai és
nemzetközi epidemiológiai adatok, közlemények, valamint szakmai irányelvek alapján.
A szembetegségek, különösen az életkorral összefüggő kórképek (pl. szürkehályog) előfordulási gyakorisága Magyarországon is növekvő tendenciát mutat, így a prevenció lehetőségeinek feltárása itthon is aktuális és fontos népegészségügyi feladat. A primer prevenció az életmód, a táplálkozás tudatos alakításán
keresztül ad esélyt a szembetegségek kialakulásának megakadályozására, progressziójának lassítására. A
szekunder prevenció az életkornak és a rizikócsoportoknak megfelelő szűrővizsgálatok révén segíti a korai
diagnózis felállítását, és ezáltal a mielőbbi adekvát kezelés elindítását. A tercier prevenció lényege pedig
a látásukban már sérült emberek rehabilitációja, életminőségének és társadalmi megítélésének javítása.
Mindhárom szinten számos lehetőség áll rendelkezésünkre, melyek segítségével a szemészeti ellátásra
nehezedő teher hatékonyan mérsékelhető a mindennapi gyakorlatban.

Commentary: T1 Mapping from routine 3D T1-weighted inversion recovery sequences in clinical practice: comparison against reference inversion recovery fast field echo T1 scans and feasibility in multiple sclerosis
Authors: S. Nguyen Vivian , J. Young Griffin , Javed Adil , J. Carroll Timothy
Published: January 2025

MRI has long been a critical tool for diagnosing and monitoring Multiple Sclerosis (MS). Conventional MRI employed in clinical practice is non-parametric, which disallows quantitative measures of tissue damage. This creates an unmet need to develop a post-acquisition image processing algorithm that can convert a qualitative image into a corresponding quantitative map. We present a methodology that can convert a clinically routine T1-weighted MPRAGE image into a parametric T1 map with high accuracy and precision in relation to a commonly used T1 mapping reference standard. We evaluate the methodology’s performance in Multiple Sclerosis for the purpose of quantifying tissue damage primarily in lesions and secondarily in white matter and gray matter regions.
NEGRITUDE FEMININA NO ESTADO DO ACRE: UMA IDENTIDADE EM CONSTRUÇÃO
Authors: Pereira Ló-Ruama Íllary Freires , Rocha Flávia
Published: January 2025

Historicamente, pessoas brancas não apenas ocuparam lugares de privilégios, mas também moldaram as esferas de poder de maneira a influenciar a população brasileira, induzindo-a a assimilar suas falas e adotar seu discurso. Esse processo de manipulação da identidade nacional levou muitos brasileiros a almejarem o branqueamento e a negar suas raízes africanas e afro-brasileiras, promovendo, assim, a invisibilização da herança cultural negra. O objetivo deste trabalho é analisar as trajetórias e os obstáculos enfrentados pelas mulheres acreanas na construção de sua identidade negra. A metodologia adotada foi qualitativa, com a realização de uma pesquisa bibliográfica seguida de entrevistas, utilizando a abordagem da história oral. Para fundamentar esta análise, foram utilizadas as contribuições de Munanga (2019), Souza (2021) e Gomes (1995), que abordam a temática da negritude e a valorização dos traços fenotípicos na construção da identidade de pessoas negras no contexto acreano. Como resultado, observou-se a importância dos processos de transição capilar na trajetória de construção da identidade negra, além do impacto dos atos e falas racistas na percepção de si mesmas. Esses fatores desempenham um papel crucial na formação daidentidade dessas mulheres. Ademais, constatou-se a relevância das ações afirmativas e do acesso ao conhecimento como ferramentas fundamentais para a desconstrução de paradigmas e a superação das amarras impostas pelo racismo.
SOLIDÃO E AMOR: É POSSÍVEL AMAR UMA MULHER NEGRA?

Published: January 2025

O texto tem como fim discutir as dinâmicas dos relacionamentos afetivo-sexuais das mulheres negras, contextualizado a partir do racismo estrutural no Brasil. Ao utilizar dados históricos, políticos e sociais como material de análise, busca-se evidenciar os modos pelos quais opera a colonialidade no corpo das mulheres negras. A colonialidade refere-se aos sistemas de opressão, dominação e exploração que surgiram a partir do colonialismo e continuam a impactar as sociedades contemporâneas, especialmente em relação aos corpos das mulheres negras. O objetivo central é compreender como o racismo estrutural brasileiro influencia a construção e a vivências dos relacionamentos afetivo-sexuais dessas mulheres, muitas vezes resultando em sentimentos de solidão. Para tal análise, é adotada uma abordagem psicossocial que considera os aspectos históricos, sociais e psíquicos que moldaram a experiência da população negra no Brasil. A análise desses dados permite observar como as práticas coloniais continuam a influenciar as vidas das mulheres negras. Ao trazer à tona essas questões, o artigo contribui para uma reflexão crítica sobre as disparidades raciais e de gênero no Brasil, que contiguamente influenciam as práticas que regulam e disciplinam a vida da mulher negra, muitas vezes colocando-a em uma posição de nulidade ou preterimento.

Através de estudos epidemiológicos observou-se o número elevado do câncer de boca prevalente principalmente no
sexo masculino. Busca-se então como objetivo discutir e debater a importância de estudos que apontam a promoção e
a prevenção em torno da saúde bucal. O presente estudo trata-se de uma pesquisa bibliográfica em torno das bases de
dados como Literatura Latino-Americana e do Caribe em Ciências da Saúde (LILACS) com o recorte temporal entre os
anos de 2019 a 2024. Os resultados apontam que devem ser conhecidas as mazelas bucais mais prevalentes na prática
clínica e suas devidas consequências como as desordens orais potencialmente malignas (DOPMs), incluindo a
Leucoplasia, Eritroplasia, Queilite actínica e a prevenção do câncer de boca, visto que , tais enfermidades necessitam
de um aparato multiprofissional, para o tratamento e posicionamento clínico adequado; sendo a educação em saúde um
importante ato de prevenção contra as mazelas. Observou-se a necessidade do desenvolvimento de pesquisas
acadêmicas que tratam desta temática emergente e de questões correlatas, almejando promover a educação em saúde
bucal tais como a realização de exames odontológicos periódicos para detecção precoce, evitar o tabagismo, consumo
excessivo de álcool, exposição solar além de manter uma dieta equilibrada com o consumo de alimentos ricos em

According to the Indonesia Health Profile Report 2022, NTB Province is among the 11 provinces with the highest incidence rate of dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF). On Lombok Island, there were 2,074 cases with 4 deaths in 2022. DHF remains a serious threat in Lombok, so this study aims to map sub-districts based on significant factors for the spread of DHF in 54 sub-districts throughout Lombok Island. This study used quantitative analysis with one response variable, the number of DHF cases, and three predictor variables: the ratio of medical personnel (nurses) (X1), the percentage of proper sanitation facilities (healthy latrines) (X2) and the percentage of standard drinking water facilities (X3) in 54 sub-districts. Data were obtained from the Health Office throughout Lombok Island. Analysis techniques include descriptive analysis, GWNBR modeling, and significant variable mapping. The mapping results showed six groups of sub-districts with a combination of significant variables, which included variables X1, X2, and X3. The findings suggest the need for additional studies or prevention policies that are more focused on hygiene to reduce the risk of DHF spread. Related parties also need to be informed to take strategic steps based on these findings.

Published: January 2025

Advances in digital technology have revolutionized the world of music, making access to various genres and musicians easier and unlimited, but users still have difficulty finding music that suits their tastes. This research aims to analyze and compare the performance of the pearson correlation and cosine similarity methods on personal music recommendations based on Collaborative Filtering, with a focus on Item-Based Filtering, measured using Mean Absolute Error (MAE) and Root Mean Squared Error  (RMSE). The dataset utilized comprises public metal music ratings from Amazon, sourced from Kaggle, totaling 19,065 samples. The k-Nearest Neighbors (KNN) algorithm was employed for recommendation prediction. The research steps included data collection, pre-processing to address missing values, duplicates, normalization, and outlier detection, followed by prediction using the KNN algorithm, and accuracy measurement using MAE and RMSE. Evaluation results indicated that Pearson Correlation produced an MAE of 0.066538 and an RMSE of 0.086698, while cosine similarity yielded an MAE of 0.066559 and an RMSE of 0.086709. These findings suggest that pearson correlation is more effective in capturing linear relationships within the rating data, leading to recommendations that are more relevant and aligned with user preferences. Pearson correlation considers the variability in each user's ratings, resulting in more accurate recommendations that align with individual rating patterns.

It demonstrated that metabolic syndrome is associated with various atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases and is prone to developing type II Diabetes Mellitus. Essential Hypertension is considered an essential component of metabolic syndrome and it is highly prevalent in the UAE. Women's lifestyles regarding diet and exercise habits have changed in recent years. The evidence highlights the correlation between different components of metabolic syndrome and women’s lifestyle is lacking in the United Arab Emirates.

Aim of the study: This study elaborates on the association of the different components of metabolic syndrome and socioeconomic factors (age, occupation and race) that affect the health of women in the United Arab Emirates which aid in the development of healthcare interventions and policies required to control the risk factors linked to metabolic syndrome and its complications.

Patients and methods: This study used a record-based descriptive study design which was conducted on 501 female patients reported to the Internal Medicine department in Thumbay University Hospital Ajman from January 2022 till November 2023

Results: Our study showed that levels of triglycerides and blood glucose were correlated with occupation status. Hypertriglyceridemia and hyperglycemia were more prevalent in unemployed individuals compared to employed (p=0.015) and (p=0.049) respectively, while Hypertension and obesity were more prevalent with increasing age groups (p<0.05). Low levels of HDL were more prevalent in patients who came from the East Mediterranean Region and Southeast Asian regions compared to other regions (p=0.041).

Authors: Kridarso Etty Retnowati , Iskandar Julindiani , Purnomo Agus Budi
Published: January 2025

In the Jakarta Metropolitan Region (JMR), railroads have existed since 1872, when the city was still known as Batavia and was ruled by the Dutch. When JMR implemented Transit Oriented Development (TOD) at the start of the twenty-first century, train stations and the surrounding area started to be valued as premium real estate. This study created a TOD index to assess the stations' and their surroundings' conditions regarding TOD characteristics. A TOD index based on Factor Analysis (FA) was computed for each of the 122 railway stations and the areas surrounding them in JMR using twenty-six TOD variables, which were based on the eight components of TOD established by IDTP.  The results of this study present the TOD index introduced is comparatively similar to the index calculated by other researchers. Furthermore, we may assess train stations and their environs and provide recommendations for how to make them better as TODs by classifying the stations according to the TOD index.

The phenomena of modernization have questioned the world of architecture due to the occurrence of generic design. One of the adaptive solutions to internationalization and standardization without losing architectural roots is to develop architecture by using vernacular modules. This alternative may be suitable to address the stagnancy issue which is still a common problem in developing architecture beyond tradition, including cases like Balla Lompoa and Ba’anjung. The research aims to present a creative fabric by comparing both modules while understanding their pattern and possible connections. Typology is used as a method to raise the pattern, using the grid as the instrument for the case study. The steps are 1) Architectural redrawing, 2) Module extraction, and 3) Algorithm pattern. The output is an architectural algorithm as the patterns. The finding is the similarities and differences in their structural modules. The research novelty is a module guideline for modernizing Balla Lompoa and Ba’anjung, stimulating the development of a hybrid between the two.

Amidst climate change, dwindling resources, and a growing population, the farming industry has faced significant pressure. Nevertheless, rapid advancements in modern agricultural technology offer substantial potential for increasing production efficiency in colder regions. The proposed Smart Greenhouse (SGH) provides a controlled environment for crops. The SGH consists of heat sources from an 8 m2 solar water heating system, weather stations to monitor the outside SGH temperature and humidity, light sensors, humidity sensors and temperature sensors inside SGH to monitor SGH performance. Several selected crops were experimented with and grown inside the developed SGH during the cold winter when cultivable land is typically left fallow due to extreme cold weather conditions. The prototype SGH results show improved environmental conditions compared to the exterior conditions of the SGH, with a temperature difference of 7°C and a relative humidity (RH) level of 25%. This paper also discusses the limitations of current SGH system designs and proposes future design improvements.

Abstract: This study aims to analyze the process of cultural assimilation occurring between Islamic teachings and the local belief system of Masade in the Sangihe archipelago. Utilizing a qualitative approach, the research explores how the interaction between these two religious traditions results in changes in the practices and cultural identity of the local community. The findings indicate that although the adherents of Masade are divided into three groups (Hadun, Hamadun, and Mangkung) with differing practices, they maintain harmonious relationships and mutual respect, creating a new culture that emerges from the integration of elements from both belief systems. This research highlights the importance of tolerance and adaptation in the assimilation process, as well as its impact on social diversity within the community, contributing to the understanding of the dynamics of intercultural interactions..Key Words: Intercultural Interaction, Identity Formation, Social DiversityAbstrak: Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis proses asimilasi budaya yang terjadi antara ajaran Islam dan kepercayaan lokal Masade di kepulauan Sangihe.

This study introduces a hybrid multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) model combining Spherical Fuzzy AHP and Grey MARCOS methods to evaluate university professors comprehensively. Addressing the limitations of traditional assessment methods, the model incorporates subjective and imprecise data while maintaining transparency and precision. Seven criteria, including teaching quality, accessibility to students, professional competence, preparation and organization, student feedback, contribution to the university, and ethical behavior, were used. Spherical Fuzzy AHP was employed to determine the weight coefficients of the criteria, leveraging fuzzy logic to capture uncertainties. Subsequently, Grey MARCOS ranked professors by evaluating their performance against ideal and anti-ideal solutions using interval grey numbers. The hybrid approach effectively mitigates bias and provides an accurate ranking of alternatives, even under conditions of incomplete or subjective data. The results validate the model's robustness and adaptability, highlighting its utility for both individual evaluations and broader institutional improvements. This methodology offers actionable insights for enhancing teaching quality, encouraging professional growth, and strengthening institutional competitiveness. The findings emphasize the importance of integrating advanced MCDM techniques to ensure comprehensive and equitable assessments in academia. This study provides a practical framework for universities aiming to elevate educational standards while addressing global challenges in higher education evaluation. By applying this hybrid model, institutions can foster a culture of continuous improvement and achieve more reliable and impactful outcomes in professor evaluations.

Authors: Cha Pei-Chun , Lee Jiye
Published: January 2025

There is no systematic review comparing the efficacy of adoptive T cell therapy in relapse/ recurrent cancer patients to other cancer treatments. This study aims to examine the evidence supporting its role in managing relapse or recurrent tumors. Relevant randomized controlled trials (RCTs) were retrieved from PubMed. The risk of bias was evaluated with the Cochrane Collaboration’s tool for RCTs by RevMan5.4 software. The hazard ratio (HR) and 95% confidence interval (CIs) or count data from dichotomous outcomes were extracted to assess the benefit of adoptive T cell therapy on PFS, OS, complete response and overall response in relapse/recurrent cancers by meta-analysis. For dichotomous outcomes, we used the relative risk (RR). A random-effects model was used to estimate the summary progression free survival, overall survival, complete response and overall response. Our meta-analysis of seven RCTs with 1807 patients revealed that adoptive T cell therapy significantly improved PFS (HR: 0.48, 95% CI: 0.33–0.68), OS (HR: 0.72, 95%CI: 0.57–0.91), compete response (RR: 2.28, 95% CI: 1.43–3.61) and overall response (RR: 1.47, 95%CI: 1.23–1.76). Test for publication bias and sensitivity analysis suggested that the results were reliable. In conclusion, statistically significant benefits for PFS, OS, complete response and overall response were observed with relapse/recurrent cancer patients receiving adoptive T cell therapy.
Highly proficient bilinguals compensate language dominance effects with differential attentional resource allocation: Insights from pupillometry
Authors: Ershaid Hadeel , McLaughlin Drew Jordan , Lallier Marie
Published: January 2025

Previous research using cued language switching paradigms has shown a reversed language dominance effect in highly proficient bilinguals, wherein the dominant language is most inhibited. This study investigated cued language switching in highly proficient Spanish-Basque bilinguals (N = 50) using pupillometry, a novel measure of switching cost that tracks cognitive load via pupil size. Response times during cued picture-naming showed faster responses on non-switch than switch trials, and faster responses in Basque than Spanish. These findings suggest balanced proficiency across languages, with Spanish showing overall slowed responses, indicating a reversed dominance effect. Pupil data revealed larger pupil responses for Basque, the less dominant language, suggesting greater cognitive load despite faster naming. This indicates more attentional allocation or activation of the non-dominant language during cued language switching. These results provide insights into the cognitive processes involved in bilingual switching and highlight the value of using pupillometry to explore bilingual language processing.
Different doses of ibuprofen for management of pain during medical abortion: a quality improvement study
Authors: Reynolds-Wright John Joseph , Cameron Sharon
Published: January 2025

IntroductionMedical abortion is known to be painful, with pain impacting acceptability and satisfaction for patients. Recommendations to use Non-Steroidal Anti-inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs) to manage pain are based upon studies using higher than routinely prescribed single doses of ibuprofen (800mg-1600mg).MethodsWe conducted a two-phase quality improvement project in Edinburgh, UK. We advised patients undergoing medical abortion at home under 12 weeks gestation in phase 1 to administer a single dose of 400mg ibuprofen orally up to 1 hour prior to misoprostol administration. In phase 2 of the project, we advised patients to use a single dose of oral 800mg ibuprofen. Two weeks later, patients were asked via text message to report pain score (maximum pain recorded on day of misoprostol), timing of ibuprofen and use of other analgesics. ResultsDuring the project period, 529 women received early medical abortion from the service, 270 in Phase 1and 259 in Phase 2. In Phase 1, 109 (40.4%) responded to follow up contact and provided information on pain scores, and 115 (44.4%) responded from phase 2. Similar, high proportions of patients used ibuprofen as directed in both phases. Overall, there were no differences in pain score between groups: Median score was 7/10 and mean score was 6.7/10 on a numerical rating scale in both groups.ConclusionPain ratings during medical abortion remained high and did not appear to improve when increasing the dose of ibuprofen from 400mg to 800mg. Further research is needed for higher doses of ibuprofen and alternative NSAID preparations.
