Authors: Hajeer Ahmad , Toptsi Jamil
Published: September 2024

In the globalized world of higher education, many universities strive to attract international students by showcasing their commitment to intercultural sensitivity and diversity. This research delves into the realm of university branding by investigating how institutions can position themselves as attractive destinations for international students. Specifically, we explore the differences in intercultural sensitivity among Budapest Business university students in Hungary across four distinct bachelor programs: Commerce and Marketing, Communication and Media, International Business Economics, and International Relations. The study was conducted during the spring semester of 2023 among Hungarian students only, i.e., no international students were included in the study. The research examines the influence of gender and the number of years spent at the university on intercultural sensitivity. Our study included 254 participants and employed Chen and Starosta's (2000) 24-items Intercultural Sensitivity Scale, comprising five critical components: respect for cultural differences, interaction engagement, interaction confidence, interaction enjoyment, and attentiveness. Our findings shed light on the varying levels of intercultural sensitivity among students from different academic backgrounds. Notably, the research sheds light on how universities can leverage these differences to bolster their branding efforts. Universities can apply the outcomes of this study to strategically tailor their marketing and recruitment strategies in order to emphasize their ability to cultivate intercultural sensitivity among their sets of students.

Introduction. Microbiological quality is one of the key criteria for active pharmaceutical ingredients. To ensure it, a set of preventive measures and various decontamination methods are used. A relatively new approach is ionizing radiation, characterized by high efficiency. However, according to the literature, during ionizing sterilization, a change in the chemical composition of the drug may occur, which requires studying the effect of the radiation factor on each individual compound. Objective. To investigate the effect of ionizing radiation on the stereoisomeric composition of the dihydroquercetin (DHQ), a natural flavananol and a promising object for the development of chiral remedies. Material and methods. The object of the study is a sample of DHQ exposed to ionizing radiation of 9.5 MeV (DHQrad), while the reference sample is a native substance of DHQ from the same manufacturer and batch (DHQref). Analysis was conducted using polarimetry and reversed-phase HPLC with diode array and mass spectrometric detection. Results. Taking into account the moisture content of the samples, the average values of the specific optical rotation for acetone solutions of DHQrad and DHQref were 20.85±1.54° and 19.65±1.93°, respectively. Chromatograms showed two peaks with retention times of 10.18±0.03 and 11.63±0.01 min, which, based on UV and mass spectra profiles, were identified as trans- and cis-diastereomers of DHQ. The total content of flavananol in the analyzed samples was 93.25±0.01% for DHQrad and 94.92±0.01% for DHQref, with the amount of the cis-isomer being 0.59±0.13% and 1.27±0.70%, respectively. Conclusion. The study did not establish a significant effect of ionizing radiation on the specific optical rotation value and the stereoisomeric composition of the DHQ substance. The findings support the recommendation of this sterilization method for remedies containing the studied flavananol.

Emission reduction through after treatment processes has become one of the options to minimize the adverse effects of two-wheeler emissions. Activated charcoal adsorbents have been proven effective in reducing emissions to a certain extent. In this study, corn cob charcoal activated with a 15% NaCl solution serves as the adsorbent. The adsorbent used is shaped into particles with a mesh size of 10. The adsorbent is placed in the modified motorcycle muffler. Testing is conducted on two-wheeled vehicles operated using the dual-fuel method, where biogas and pertalite are used as fuels. With this method, fuel concentrations are obtained significantly smaller compared to vehicles without emission reduction methods. Testing is carried out for 2 hours to determine the durability of the adsorbent in absorbing exhaust gas emissions. Based on the test results, where data collection is conducted every 10 minutes, the concentrations of emissions including hydrocarbons (HC), carbon monoxide (CO), and carbon dioxide (CO2) initially decrease and then rise again after several minutes. This indicates that the adsorbent effectively reduces emissions in a relatively short duration. However, the effectiveness of corn cob activated charcoal in reducing these three emissions varies, with the adsorbent showing good performance in reducing HC

Acoustic energy output level from regenerator segment of a thermoacoustic engine model is attenuated along it’s loop due to several conditions including minor losses. This article discusses the result of Delta EC simulation of a thermoacoustic engine model acting as simple electric power generator that inserted with two conical segments. The cone segments are capable to lower the energy loss which in turn improve the overall performance of the engine in term of nett heat to acoustic energy conversion efficiency. Combined acoustic energy loss induced by both cones is equivalent to 4.94 watts minor losses. At this condition, regenerator segment amplifies the incoming acoustic energy flow of 57.02 watt up to 93.57 watt, which is equals to 36.55 watts acoustic amplification. It leads to increasing of overall engines heat to acoustic efficiency into 14.05%, which is 1.29% higher than those at the case of without cones. This engine performance improvement addressed to smoother streamline of working fluid flow inside the loop.

Published: September 2024

The effect of solution mass on freezing the freshwater using an AC outdoor unit was investigated. The AC outdoor capacity was ½ PK and the evaporator to absorb the heat from the freshwater was designed in the form of a square spiral placed in a freezing box. The outdoor used R32 as the working fluid. The solution mass variations were 10 kg, 12 kg and 14 kg.   The freezing box was filed with saline solution with a concentration of 20%. The mass of fresh water that was frozen was wrapped in plastic with a mass of water per package of 500 grams. The total mass of the freshwater was 10 kg. The results show that the fastest freezing time occurs at a mass of 10 kg of salt solution with a freezing time of 3.5 hours and the longest freezing time is at a mass of 14 kg of solution with a freezing time of 6 hours. The highest total heat flow rate is 554 W found in the variation of 10 kg solution mass. The AC outdoor unit is very effective to be used as a freezing machine with an EER of 5.8.

Poor Diet Leading to the Increasing Risk of Atherosclerosis in the World
Authors: Bijaya Bhusal
Published: September 2024

Atherosclerosis Ischemic Cardiovascular Disease (ASICD), one of the leading causes of global deaths, is mainly caused due to the development of plaque on the inner walls of arteries of the human heart. Ischemia refers to the lack of enough oxygen (O2), nutrient delivery, and improper waste removal in the cardiac cells. About 90% of cardiovascular diseases in the present world are due to the formation of lipid/cholesterol-based plaques that can form under the lining of the smooth epithelial blood cells. In the US, a study published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology estimated that poor diet is responsible for about 45% of Cardiovascular Disease. Atherosclerosis doesn’t cause much effect until and unless the plaque becomes unstable due to the accumulation of thrombus that shows Acute Coronary Syndrome. Acute Coronary Syndrome is the result of blockage of blood vessels leading to Myocardial Infarction (Unstable Angina Pectoris). Cardiac Cells require a sufficient amount of Oxygen to function properly. Thus, the demand and supply of oxygen to the cardiac cells should be properly balanced. Atherosclerosis Ischemic Cardiovascular syndrome can worsen if the person is more involved in exercise or emotional stress because at that time their body requires higher oxygen but blood flow gets disrupted due to the formation of plague. Later in the paper, we will discuss the New York Heart Association classification, followed by the top 3 poor diets that are considered to be increasing the cases of cardiovascular disease around the world.
A bronze deposit excavated at Kalaureia in 2016. A statuette of the Herakles Chiaramonti type, a stand and a thymiaterion
Authors: Habetzeder Julia
Published: September 2024

This article presents three bronzes found on the island of Poros in 2016, during excavations in Area L, the presumed area of Kalaureia’s ancient settlement, c. 200 m to the south of the Sanctuary of Poseidon. The deposit included: 1. A statuette of the Herakles Chiaramonti type, here suggested to have been produced during the 2nd or 1st century BC; 2. A stand which may have functioned as a thymiaterion (incense burner) or a lamp stand. Judging from close parallels the stand was most likely produced during the 5th or 4th century BC; 3. A high-stemmed dish, which is interpreted as a thymiaterion contemporary with the stand. The items are tentatively suggested to have been used together, perhaps in religious veneration of Herakles. The bronzes are suggested to have been deposited either for what was intended to be temporary safe-keeping, or for religious reasons.
A Roman bath with broken windows in Asine, Argolis. The result of repeated earthquakes?
Authors: Ingemark Dominic
Published: September 2024

A substantial assemblage of Roman window glass—consisting primarily of “cast”, matt/glossy examples, but also including cylinderblown, double-glossy window glass—was discovered during the 1926 excavations of a Late Roman bath in Asine, Argolis, the Peloponnese, Greece. It is clear that this material emanates from damage done to the building, and the question of whether this had human or natural causes is discussed in this paper: was it the “barbarian” invasion of the Visigoth king Alaric in the late 4th century AD that led to the windows being broken? Or, was the damage caused by the earthquakes known to have hit the Eastern Mediterranean area in Late Antiquity? Traces of destruction typical of earthquakes were found in the bath building, and the destruction occurred in a period known for its high seismic activity: the so-called Early Byzantine Tectonic Paroxysm, which led to the conclusion that the bath was hit by at least one, possibly several, earthquakes, causing the windows to shatter and fall out of their frames. Some of the glass sherds were in all probability hidden under dust and debris and were never recovered despite the fact that glass was extensively recycled at the time.
A Ptolemaic context from Hellenistic Patara. Remarks on amphora stamps and coins
Authors: Dündar Erkan , Tatar Ömer
Published: September 2024

Archaeological investigation at Patara, on the south-western coast of Türkiye, has generated new data concerning the city’s status under Ptolemaic rule in the 3rd century BC. In this study, we focus on a Hellenistic context found at the Tepecik Settlement dating from the period of Ptolemaic hegemony. A Rhodian amphora bearing a stamp on each handle and four coins found in situ enable us to date this context to the first half of the 3rd century BC. The amphora, which was produced in the Rhodian Peraia, slightly further north-west along the Turkish coast, records the eponym Χρυσόστρατος (c. 266 BC) and fabricant Ἀστός. The pairing of these two persons is here clearly confirmed for the first time. The four coins found in the same context include a bronze Macedonian regal coin, two ancient counterfeit silver-plated bronze coins (one recording the name of Alexander the Great and the other recording the name of Ptolemy I Soter), and a genuine Rhodian silver coin carrying the name of the magistrate Ἀριστόβιος. The Rhodian amphora stamps lend further precision to the dating of this context and coins. Thus, we suggest the period c. 275–265/264 BC for the dating of the Rhodian silver coin and the tenure of the Rhodian magistrate Ἀριστόβιος.

Published: September 2024

Given the importance of devices used in the field of medicine in terms of diagnosis and treatment, and the great importance of this topic in accelerating early diagnosis and saving the lives of the largest possible number of people, we decided to study one of these devices to better define its components and review some of the difficulties. Many linear accelerators for hybrid magnetic resonance imaging have been developed as a result of the need to profit from directed images of tissues and various body sections during radiation therapy (linear accelerators). There are now a number of linear accelerators for magnetic resonance imaging that cover both low and high magnetic field strengths as well as two directions of the beam field; these systems have the potential to be beneficial. This technology has only recently been used in clinical trials. However, its continued usage as a routine radiation therapy procedure is certain. The majority of the key elements and difficulties encountered in the creation of such technology as well as its present state are outlined in this review article.

Authors: Fayza BAGHLI  , Nassima MOUSSAOUI-KHEDAM
Published: September 2024

Introduction: Antifungal drugs formulated in conventional pharmaceutical forms are not fully effective due to various factors. New approaches have focused on transdermal delivery drugs, including transethosomes, where the mixture of ethanol and surfactant allows a deeper drug skin’s penetration. Formulation parameters and process variables can make their optimization a considerable challenge. This study aimed to formulate Fluconazole-loaded transethosomes using a full-factorial design with the goal of optimizing formulation and process variables. Method: Fluconazole transethosomes were developed using the cold Method. A 21,31 full-factorial design was created by Design Expert® Software, where the impact of surfactant’s type and soy lecithin to surfactant ratio on resulting formulation were investigated. The formulations were tested for vesicle size, polydispersity index, zeta potential and entrapment efficiency. Results: Formulations containing Tween®80 presented the smaller particle sizes and showed a considerable entrapment efficiency for Fluconazole, they were more homogenous and highly stable compared to those prepared with Span®80. The optimized soy lecithin to surfactant ratio of 90:10 with Tween®80 was deemed apt for the synthesis of transethosomes giving the optimal formulation with a small particle size (300.2±5.57 nm), a low PDI (0.203±0.004), a good zeta potential (−31.75±0.68 mV) and a high entrapment efficiency (88.11±0.74 %). Conclusion: This study enabled the in-depth identification and optimization of the key factors involved in the experimental process, such as the type of surfactant used and the soybean lecithin-to-surfactant ratio. To ensure safety and effectiveness in use, this work provides the perspective of continuing the study by evaluating the antifungal activity, long-term stability and safety of Fluconazole-loaded transethosomes.

Background: NS is defined by the presence of significant proteinuria, which leads to low levels of albumin in the blood and the development of edema. This occurs as a result of damage to the glomerular filtration barrier. Corticosteroids are the main therapeutic approach for NS. Prolonged usage of steroids can result in numerous side effects, including steroid resistant NS, which poses a difficult challenge for treatment and can cause substantial morbidity and mortality. Although efforts have been made to decrease the use of steroids by employing non-steroidal immunosuppressive drugs for rapid recovery, these treatments have also exhibited adverse consequences. These difficulties have prompted the notion of utilizing ACTH in these situations. Objective: This study seeks to analyze the efficacy of ACTH by thoroughly examining its mechanism and comparing it to conventional treatment for NS. Summary and important messages: The study demonstrates that ACTH has the potential to not only decrease protein loss but also reduce the occurrence of relapses and the amount of glucosteroids required. This suggests that ACTH could be a viable treatment alternative. The exact mechanism is currently unidentified, while the MCR1 agonism linked to ACTH suggest a renoprotective mechanism that is beneficial in NS. A comprehensive analysis using a large-scale randomized controlled trial is necessary to fully comprehend the effectiveness and safety profile of ACTH in improving the quality of care for patients.

ATS, a rare disorder primarily affecting postmenopausal women, is characterized by the coexistence of DM Type 2 and elevated androgen levels. Despite its rarity, the syndrome poses diagnostic challenges due to its masked presentation under the guise of DM Type 2 and cosmetologic uses. This study presents two unique cases of ATS, each with distinct onset scenarios, one following pregnancy and the other post-surgical transfusion. Both cases exhibit common symptoms of hirsutism and clitoromegaly, further emphasizing the importance of prompt and accurate diagnosis. Laboratory, imaging, and clinical assessments play pivotal roles in identifying ATS amidst overlapping symptoms. Treatment options include hormone replacement therapy, antiandrogen therapy, glucose management, and cosmetic procedures. These cases show how important it is to have high clinical suspicion and a full evaluation to make sure that ATS is quickly identified and effectively treated in postmenopausal women who also have DM Type 2.

Published: September 2024

Tra le attività dell’anno dedicato a Marco Polo anche la pubblicazione della prima edizione digitale dell’opera di Marco Polo, resa disponibile agli studiosi di tutto il mondo e pubblicata da Edizioni Ca’ Foscari in open access e open source.
L’ambiente digitale riesce a valorizzare molto meglio del libro cartaceo la mobilità intrinseca al testo trasmesso da tanti manoscritti, redatti in molte lingue diverse (almeno 11), che appartengono a tradizioni culturali differenti. Per questa edizione digitale sono state scelte 12 redazioni e una versione ulteriore del testo (Fr2) che vengono offerte in presentazione sinottica (ovvero affiancate le une alle altre). L’opera digitale, che segue gli standard di codifica internazionali, offre anche un testo critico unitario, in lingua inglese per facilitarne la diffusione sia presso la comunità degli studiosi sia presso il pubblico degli interessati. È completata da un glossario dei termini che hanno un importante valore culturale, in particolare i termini che designano persone, animali e cose legate all’Oriente, di mappe interattive dei luoghi toccati da Marco Polo nel suo lungo viaggio; di informazioni bibliografiche di potenziale interesse per il lettore.
