Published: August 2024

The results of work to expand the range of reference material of sorption properties are presented, namely, to create a reference material of the sorption properties of titanium dioxide, the use of materials based on which is widespread in many areas of industry. Two materials based on titanium dioxide were presented as candidates for CRM, and preliminary studies were carried out to establish the qualitative and quantitative composition, particle size, density, as well as parameters for preparing the material for research by gas adsorption. Based on the results, a material with a lower impurity content and particle size was selected. The metrological characteristics of the standard material were established using a reference installation from the State primary standard of units of specific gas adsorption, specifi csurface area, specific pore volume, pore size, open porosity and gas permeability coefficient GET 210-2019. The range of certified values of the specific surface area 10–100 m2/g, the range of values of the specific pore volume 0.05– 0.5 cm3/g, the range of values of the average pore diameter 2–30 nm and the range of values of specific nitrogen adsorption at liquid nitrogen temperature in the relative pressure range from 0.9·10–3 to 0.992 (0.01–20.00 mol/kg). The use of CRM 12390-2023 during calibrations, verifi cations, and tests in order to approve the type of instruments for measuring sorption properties at various stages of titanium dioxide production will improve the quality of products based on it.

Sequencing Internationalization policy in the 21st century: A comparative analysis between Japan and the United States of America
Authors: Hofmeyr Ana Sofia , Veerasamy Yovana S.
Published: August 2024

This paper offers a comparative analysis of internationalization policy between two distinct nations entrenched in unique sociopolitical and economic cultures, namely Japan and the United States of America (U.S.A.). How do different policy-making processes impact internationalization policy in practice? While Japan’s internationalization policy is clearly articulated at the national level, the U.S. does not have a national higher education internationalization policy that emanates from the federal government. Therefore, in this study we analyzed macro-level data from three distinct policy-making sectors to identify U.S. national policy. Our analysis identifies the policy-making process in each nation and elucidates how internationalization policy unfolded in both cases. Second, we compare the development of higher education internationalization policy efforts in the two countries, sequencing events, factors, and rationales that impacted national policy. This approach allowed us to compare the implications of having a centralized versus a pluralistic internationalization policy-making process in the 2000s. Our research shows that, in practical terms, there is more variation in higher education internationalization policy in the U.S. than in Japan. In both countries, policy dynamics were influenced by social and economic factors, and political factors influenced policy in the U.S. An academic and humanitarian rationale for internationalization policy was not central to the essence of the policy in either country.

Authors: Ammigan Ravichandran , Veerasamy Yovana S. , Cruz Natalie I.
Published: August 2024

Formal and informal peer-to-peer support through advice plays an important role in enhancing students' experiences and ensuring their success in higher education. For international students who often face social and cultural challenges adapting to their new university environment, direct and authentic guidance from peers can be vital in helping them acclimate and cope with their transition to campus. This paper examines the cross-cultural adjustment experiences of over 400 international students enrolled at a mid-sized, research-intensive university located in the United States (U.S.). Relying on a qualitative research design, we analyzed data from reflection essays written by international students between 2013 and 2021 and used Oberg`s culture shock theory (1960) as a lens to interpret data on experiences that impacted their sociocultural adjustment. Based on their lived experiences, these students identified specific areas that current and future international students could focus on to ease their adjustment to a new culture and academic environment. Guided by five main themes, the discussion highlights salient factors that impact international students, calling for new ways for addressing their adjustment to university life in the U.S. Our findings enabled us to offer insights to university officials as they develop and deliver acculturation and transition programs to their international student community.
Education in exile as a hope-making practice: the case of Russian higher education initiatives
Authors: Smyslova Sonya (Sofya)
Published: August 2024

This qualitative study explores the self-conceptualisation of higher education projects (HEPs) relocated out of Russia or created in exile by Russian emigrants after he Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022. Drawing on semi-structured interviews, analysed by thematic analysis, and discourse analysis of projects’ promo-materials, this paper explores how HEPs formulate their goals and aims concerning the conflict zone–their homeland. The research argues that these projects manage to overcome ‘exiled consciousness’ and appear as a hope-making practice. However, aiming to preserve the relocated academic heritage, HEPs limit their self-reconceptualisation, i.e., further reflection on the continuity of their practice. Along with presenting current narratives, the study suggests further directions for exploration of the imagined future and its materialisation mechanism through educational means in the context of a political and humanitarian crisis, along with the way the international education landscape is being reshaped in it.
Escaping Acquiescent Immobility Trap: Virtual Mobility Role in Supporting Physical Study Abroad Aspirations of Students from Russia
Authors: Tishenina Mariia
Published: August 2024

The Russia-Ukraine war has significantly impacted the outbound student mobility of Russian students, exacerbating an already troubled system recovering from the COVID-19 pandemic-related travel restrictions and grappling with the deteriorating currency exchange rates after the annexation of Crimea. This paper highlights and explains the positive role virtual student mobility can play in shaping and supporting the international education aspirations of Russian students amidst these entangled crises. The research draws upon the Aspirations-Capabilities framework, the notion of mobility capital as a migratory resource, and different states of (im)mobility to shed light on the affordance of virtual mobility formats to help Russian students escape the state of acquiescent immobility. Using an interpretive phenomenological approach, the study analyzes 16 semi-structured in-depth interviews conducted with Russian students who participated in various forms of virtual mobility between 2020 and 2023. The findings reveal that virtual mobility offers a unique opportunity to bolster Russian students' capacity to aspire to international studies despite mobility suppressing climate through acting as a “rite of passage” en route to international education, increasing language confidence, and challenging negative portrayals of hostility towards Russian students in the West. The richness of virtual mobility experience in terms of communication with teachers and students from abroad plays a key role in activating this affordance.

Enzymes mediated resistance development and their activities are well documented in Anopheles gambiae vectors. However, biological consequences of such resistance development in malaria vectors are obscure. The present study aims to determine the implications of such response in An. gambiae (Kisumu) population following exposure to a concentration of Permethrin selection pressure across multiple generations. Adult Kisumu mosquitoes exposed to 0.2 µg/ CDC bottle over generations were compared with unexposed control populations by way of resistance status, cost of fitness, and correlating metabolic enzymes. Data obtained were analysed using SPSS. Analysis of Variance was employed to determine statistical differences at 95%. Fecundity rates of the mosquito population dropped progressively over generations. With increase in activity of metabolic enzymes, resistance status of the mosquito population progressed significantly (P< 0.05) over generations with 5.0 µg (18.00±0.00; 72%) at f4 generation. Mosquito resistance development is therefore a disadvantage to malaria vectors as it reduces ovipository capability, and increases longevity of immature stages (life cycle) with filial generations.

Authors: Tasnim Ara Jhilky Most , Ia Mohammad Mohsin M , Khan Ehsanul Haque , Roy Manindra Nath , Parvin Shamima , Priyanka Afsana Shahid
Published: August 2024

Background: Recent research focused on iron stores' impact on diabetes, highlighting ferritin as a key biomarker. Studies revealed elevated ferritin, indicating increased iron stores linked with insulin resistance (IR). However, the connection between ferritin and IR exhibits variability based on ethnicity, gender, and glycemic state, leading to inconclusive findings. So, there is a notable gap in existing data regarding the relationship between ferritin and IR among South Asian men and women, especially in Bangladesh. To our knowledge, This is the first time we are evaluating the relationship between body iron stores and insulin resistance markers in our population.
Objectives: The aim was to examine the relationship between IR markers (fasting insulin, glucose, and HOMA-IR) and serum ferritin concentrations in Bangladeshi adults.
Methods: A cross-sectional analytical study was conducted at Sir Salimullah Medical College, Dhaka (March 2018 - February 2019). It involved 140 subjects aged 25-55. Among them, 92 were male and 48 were female. Multiple regression analysis was performed after determining ferritin levels, insulin levels, and fasting plasma glucose levels and calculating the homeostatic model assessment of IR (HOMA-IR in both genders after adjustment. Exclusion criteria were applied to eliminate individuals with inflammatory diseases, chronic conditions, major cardiovascular events, alcoholism, anaemia, or specific medications that could affect ferritin levels.
Results: Females had lower mean ferritin (p < 0.001) than males. After adjustment for covariates in men-fasting glucose, insulin and HOMA-IR were significantly increased with increasing serum ferritin levels (P for trend < .001). The highest tertile is associated with older age, higher BMI, FPG, serum insulin, and HOMA-IR in men. In females, serum ferritin correlated positively only with FPG, not other markers.
Conclusion: In Bangladeshi adult men, serum ferritin concentrations were positively associated with fasting glucose, insulin, and HOMA-IR, indicating an essential role of iron storage in the pathogenesis of IR, while this association was not observed in women.

Published: August 2024

Background: Lymphovascular space invasion (LVSI) is the presence of tumor cells in a vascular space lined by endothelium. It is the crucial first step to tumor metastases. It has been suggested that LVSI is the strongest predictor of lymph node metastases, relapse of disease, and poor survival in endometrial carcinoma. Lymphovascular space invasion is an important predictor of lymph node involvement in endometrial carcinoma. Studies showed that LVSI can be predicted preoperatively by some biomarkers, which may be helpful regarding lymphadenectomy per-operatively in patients with endometrial carcinoma.
Objective: The aim of this study was to predict the risk of lymphovascular space invasion (LVSI) in women with endometrial carcinoma.
Methods: This is a cross-sectional analytical study done in the gynecological Oncology Department of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU), Dhaka, between September 2018 and August 2019. A total of 35 patients with endometrial carcinoma admitted for surgery at the Department of Gynecological Oncology, BSMMU, were included in this study.
Results: Among 35 patients with endometrial carcinoma, 12 patients were positive for LVSI, and 23 patients were negative for LVSI. It was found that depth of myometrial invasion, FIGO tumor stage, histological tumor type, tumor grade, and positive pelvic lymph nodes were associated with LVSI (p0.05). Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves revealed that the threshold values of CA- 125 and fibrinogen correlated with LVSI were 34.15 U/mL and 300 mg/dl, respectively. Statistical analysis showed that CA-125 >34 U/mL (p=0.026) and fibrinogen ≥300 mg/dl (p<0.001) were significantly associated with LVSI.
Conclusion: There is a positive association between LVSI and preoperative serum CA-125 antigen and plasma fibrinogen in endometrial carcinoma patients. So, these biomarkers may help make decisions regarding lymphadenectomy during surgery for endometrial carcinoma patients.

Authors: Masyitoh Masyitoh
Published: August 2024

Tulisan ini mendeskripsikan tentang implementasi manajemen mutu pendidikan dalam pengelolaan madrasah berdasarkan Qs. Ar-Ra’du ayat 11. Kandungan dalam Qs. Ar-Ra’du ayat 11 yang berbunyi: “Allah tidak mengubah keadaan sesuatu kaum sehingga mereka mengubah keadaan yang ada pada diri mereka sendiri.” Kebanyakan orang berpendapat bahwa “mengubah keadaan” kerap dimaknai berubahnya nasib buruk menjadi baik. Padahal kenyataanya Allah telah menganugerahkan kenikmatan kepada manusia, namun karena perbuatan manusia yang kurang baik, maka kenikmatan itu berubah menjadi suatu keburukan bagi manusia. Terlepas dari kontroversi tafsir ayat tersebut yang kerap ditafsirkan salah oleh orang awam, maka penulis mencoba mengkaji lebih dalam tentang keterkaitan Qs. Ar-Ra’du ayat 11 dengan manajemen mutu pendidikan. Penulis menggunakan pendekatan library reaserch dalam mengkaji Qs. Ar-Ra’du ayat 11 dalam kaitannya dengan manajemen mutu pendidikan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kandungan Qs. Ar-Ra’du ayat 11 dan manajemen mutu terdapat keterkaitan. Dalam Qs. Ar-Ra’du ayat 11, manusia dituntut untuk melakukan suatu pekerjaan secara optimal, karena setiap proses adalah gambaran dari suatu hasil yang diperoleh. Begitupun dalam peningkatan mutu madrasah atau lembaga pendidikan Islam, sebuah madrasah tidak dapat dikatakan berkualitas jika tidak didasari dengan manajemen yang baik. Adapun manajemen yang baik didapatkan dari kontrol mutu yang senantiasa dilakukan oleh organisasi-organisasi pendidikan didalam lembaga pendidikan tersebut. Keberadaan organisasi pendidikan sangat penting dalam sebuah lembaga pendidikan karena semakin baik manajemen yang dihasilkan dari sebuah organisasi pendidikan, dapat semakin baik pula kualitas lembaga pendidikannya.Kata kunci: Manajemen Mutu Pendidikan, Qs. Ar-Ra’du ayat 11, Madrasah
