Authors: Н.А. Болзан
Published: November 2024

проблема выделения личностных предикторов психологического благополучия беременных имеет важное значение с точки зрения психологического сопровождения женщин в период беременности. Целью данной статьи является изучение личностных черт, взаимосвязанных с психологическим благополучием беременных женщин на разных сроках беременности. В ходе исследования была проведена психодиагностика психологического благополучия и личностных особенностей 590 беременных женщин, находящихся на первом, втором и третьем триместрах беременности. Проанализированы различия в особенностях психологического благополучия и личностных характеристиках беременных женщин на первом, втором и третьем триместрах беременности. Определены критерии психологического благополучия беременных женщин, не зависящие от триместра беременности: сформированный эмоциональный интеллект, развитая осознанность, осмысленность жизни, склонность к копинг-стратегии планирования, отсутствие выраженной интроспекции, фиксации на негативном прошлом и фатализме настоящего. Также определены критерии психологического благополучия, специфичные для женщин на первом, втором и третьем триместрах беременности. Результаты исследования показывают важность дифференцированного подхода к психологическому сопровождению беременных женщин на разных сроках беременности и могут использоваться при разработке комплексных программ, направленных на подготовку к родам.

the problem of identifying personal predictors of the psychological well-being of pregnant women is important from the point of view of psychological support for women during pregnancy. The purpose of this article is to study personality traits related to the psychological well-being of pregnant women at different stages of pregnancy. During the study, psychodiagnostics of psychological well-being and personal characteristics of 590 pregnant women in the first, second and third trimesters of pregnancy were performed. The differences in the features of psychological well-being and personal characteristics of pregnant women in the first, second and third trimesters of pregnancy are analyzed. The criteria of psychological well-being of pregnant women, independent of the trimester of pregnancy, are defined: formed emotional intelligence, developed awareness, meaningfulness of life, propensity to coping planning strategies, lack of pronounced introspection, fixation on the negative past and fatalism of the present. The criteria of psychological well-being specific to women in the first, second and third trimesters of pregnancy are also defined. The results of the study show the importance of a differentiated approach to the psychological support of pregnant women at different stages of pregnancy and can be used in the development of comprehensive programs aimed at preparing for childbirth.
Энергия как «unheimlich» в современной мировой литературе
Authors: В.Б. Немцов
Published: November 2024

в данной статье анализируется концепция энергии как явления, вызывающего чувство тревоги и страха в массовом сознании, рассматривая её через призму термина «unheimlich» (непостижимое), введенного Зигмундом Фрейдом. Это понятие описывает состояние, когда что-то одновременно знакомо и чуждо, вызывая внутреннее напряжение и беспокойство. Исторический контекст включает начало эпохи технологических инноваций, таких как открытие электричества, которое с одной стороны принесло значительные преимущества, но с другой породило подсознательные страхи. Эти страхи отражались в литературе и искусстве, где энергия часто представляется как непостижимое и пугающее явление. Статья фокусируется на анализе таких произведений, как «Франкенштейн, или Современный Прометей» Мэри Шелли, чтобы выявить, как энергия и технологические достижения изображаются в контексте страха и отчуждения. Внимание уделяется литературным приемам, таким как метафоры и аллегории, которые авторы используют для создания атмосферы ужаса и неизведанности. Также исследуется связь энергии с темами смерти, дегуманизации и морального разложения, показывая, как литература не только отражает, но и формирует общественные страхи и тревоги, связанные с развитием науки и техники. Статья стремится показать, каким образом литература осмысливает эти страхи, предоставляя глубокое понимание того, как технологические достижения влияют на человеческую психику и восприятие мира.

this article analyses the concept of energy as a phenomenon that causes anxiety and fear in the mass consciousness by looking at it through the prism of the term ‘unheimlich’ (incomprehensible) introduced by Sigmund Freud. This concept describes a state where something is both familiar and foreign at the same time, causing inner tension and anxiety. The historical context includes the beginning of the era of technological innovation, such as the discovery of electricity, which on the one hand brought significant benefits, but on the other hand generated subconscious fears. These fears were reflected in literature and art, where energy is often presented as an unfathomable and frightening phenomenon. The paper focuses on analysing works such as Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, or the Modern Prometheus to identify how energy and technological advances are portrayed in the context of fear and alienation. Attention is given to the literary techniques, such as metaphors and allegories, that authors use to create an atmosphere of horror and the unknown. The relationship of energy to themes of death, dehumanisation and moral decay is also explored, showing how literature not only reflects but also shapes societal fears and anxieties associated with the development of science and technology. The article seeks to show how literature conceptualises these fears, providing an in-depth understanding of how technological advances affect the human psyche and perception of the world.

Authors: Ю. Гонський
Published: November 2024

цитокиновый шторм представляет собой критическое состояние, связанное с чрезмерным высвобождением провоспалительных цитокинов, что приводит к системному воспалению и полиорганной недостаточности. В свете пандемии COVID-19 и других воспалительных состояний, таких как сепсис и аутоиммунные заболевания, исследование новых биомаркеров для прогнозирования цитокинового шторма стало особенно актуальным. Данная статья направлена на выявление и оценку прогностической ценности потенциальных биомаркеров, включая IL-6, TNF-α и гомоцистеин, для ранней диагностики и профилактики тяжелых осложнений. Рассматриваются механизмы гиперцитокинемии и потенциальные терапевтические подходы, направленные на снижение воспалительного ответа. Предложенные биомаркеры могут сыграть ключевую роль в персонализированной медицине, позволяя адаптировать лечение в зависимости от индивидуальных характеристик пациента и предотвращать развитие цитокинового шторма.

cytokine storm is a critical condition associated with excessive release of pro-inflammatory cytokines, which leads to systemic inflammation and multiple organ failure. In light of the COVID-19 pandemic and other inflammatory conditions such as sepsis and autoimmune diseases, the study of new biomarkers for predicting a cytokine storm has become especially relevant. The present study is aimed at identifying and evaluating the prognostic value of potential biomarkers, including IL-6, TNF-α and homocysteine, for early diagnosis and prevention of severe complications. The mechanisms of hypercytokinemia and potential therapeutic approaches aimed at reducing the inflammatory response are considered. The proposed biomarkers can play a key role in personalized medicine, allowing treatment to be adapted depending on the individual characteristics of the patient and prevent the development of a cytokine storm.
Патофизиология кардиоренального синдрома: актуальные версии развития
Authors: Е.Г. Иванова
Published: November 2024

среди пациентов с сердечной недостаточностью отмечается высокая распространенность хронической болезни почек, при этом оба заболевания имеют существенные общие факторы риска. Дисфункция как сердца, так и почек в совокупности сгруппирована под термином кардиоренальный синдром. В настоящее время активно изучаются механизмы развития заболевания, предпринимаются попытки определить кардиоренальный синдром по подтипам, в соответствии с тем, какой орган – сердце или почка – считается органом-виновником, вызывающим дисфункцию в другом. Однако в большинстве клинических случаев его сложно разграничить, поскольку патофизиология тесно взаимосвязана, а пути остаются недостаточно изученными. Данные трудности порождают множество версий развития патофизиологических процессов (гемодинамических, гормональных, воспалительных), которые в большинстве случаев вызывают перегрузку жидкостью, и составляют основу терапевтического ведения пациентов, определяя предпочтительные лечебные стратегии и их модификации в ходе лечения.

there is a high prevalence of chronic kidney disease among patients with heart failure, and both diseases share significant risk factors. Dysfunction of both the heart and kidneys is collectively grouped under the term cardiorenal syndrome. Currently, the mechanisms of development of the disease are being actively studied, and attempts are being made to define cardiorenal syndrome by subtype, in accordance with which organ - the heart or the kidney - is considered the culprit organ causing dysfunction in the other. However, in most clinical cases it is difficult to distinguish between them, since the pathophysiology is closely interrelated and the pathways remain poorly understood. These difficulties give rise to many versions of the development of pathophysiological processes (hemodynamic, hormonal, inflammatory). Cardiorenal syndrome has been defined as a pathophysiological disorder in which acute or chronic dysfunction of one organ can cause dysfunction of another, and is classified into five types. It is noted that the mechanisms of development of cardiorenal syndrome include various hemodynamic, hormonal and immunological factors, which in most cases cause fluid overload, and, as a rule, form the basis of the therapeutic management of patients, determining the preferred treatment strategies and their modifications during treatment.

Материалы и методы. Для проведения обзора были проанализированы 20 литературных источников из различных баз данных, включая MEDLINE/PubMed, ELIBRARY, ScienceDirect, и другие. Результаты исследования показали перспективы таргетной терапии, включая использование новых приёмов, таких как активация апоптоза, пироптоза, ферроптоза и аутофагии, для борьбы с туберкулезом на уровне клеток хозяина. Идентифицированы препараты, такие как ингибиторы MCL-1 и BCL-2, стимулирующие апоптоз макрофагов, инфицированных МБТ, и обладающие противомикобактериальным эффектом. Карбамазепин и статины демонстрируют активацию аутофагии в макрофагах, что способствует устойчивости к МБТ. Подробно рассмотрены механизмы гибели клеток хозяина для поиска оптимальных путей воздействия и наиболее перспективных мишеней для HDT. Таргетная терапия в перспективе может стать важным инструментом в борьбе как с лекарственно-чувствительным, так и с лекарственно-резистентным туберкулезом.

the review analyzes current research on the development of new drugs with antimicobacterial activity. The main focus is on the search and development of targeted Host-directed therapy (HDT). The purpose of the review is to summarize data from the literature on the latest developments and mechanisms of action of targeted therapy directed at host cells (HDT) to combat infection caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Materials and methods. To conduct the review, 20 literature sources from various databases were analyzed, including MEDLINE/PubMed, ELIBRARY, ScienceDirect, and others. The results of the study showed the prospects of targeted therapy, including the use of new techniques such as activation of apoptosis, pyroptosis, ferroptosis and autophagy, to combat tuberculosis at the level of host cells. Drugs such as MCL-1 and BCL-2 inhibitors have been identified that stimulate apoptosis of macrophages infected with MBT and have an antimicobacterial effect. Carbamazepine and statins demonstrate activation of autophagy in macrophages, which contributes to resistance to MBT. The mechanisms of host cell death are considered in detail to find optimal exposure routes and the most promising targets for HDT. Targeted therapy in the future may become an important tool in the fight against both drug-sensitive and drug-resistant tuberculosis.

Leiomyoma with abscess inside
Authors: Villalobos-Rodríguez Alejandro L.
Published: November 2024

Background: Uterine leiomyoma is a common disease. The tumor does not cause symptoms at first, but as the tumor gradually increases, patients come to us with typical symptoms of obstruction and abdominal mass, which only arise when the size is massive. Clinical case: A 48-year-old woman with a history of intestinal occlusion with restricted urine flow, dyspnea, abdominal pain, and a palpable mass, for which she comes to the service for care. The tumor measured 27x20x20 cm, abscessed with 200 cc of purulent fluid and weighed 7.200 kg. Discussion: Uterine leiomyoma is a benign gynecological tumor originating from smooth muscle cells that affects up to 80% of women. Of these, only 20 to 30% have symptoms. Multiple risk factors are associated with the development of leiomyomas, the most common being nulliparity, obesity, early menarche, African ancestry and age, all of them secondary to prolonged exposure to estrogens or genetic predisposition. Uterine myomatosis affects 40% of women over 35 years of age. It is a benign neoplasia made up of smooth muscle. The most frequent region is the body of the uterus but it can occur in the cervix and exceptionally it extends towards the broad ligaments, splitting its two peritoneal layers (intraligamentary). Eventually, myomas can suffer hyaline, cartilaginous degeneration, aseptic, calcium, fatty, edematous, sarcomatous or cystic necrosis. Cystic degeneration occurs in only 4% of cases. Depending on their location, myomas can be submucosal, intramural or subserous; the latter may become pedunculated and mimic a malignant epithelial ovarian neoplasm.
Laryngeal Lipoma a rare entity in daily medical practice
Authors: Ruppen Ian Caldeira
Published: November 2024

Laryngeal tumors are predominantly malignant, with squamous cell carcinoma being the most common type. Among benign tumors, laryngeal lipoma is extremely rare, representing less than 1% of benign cases in this region. Lipomas are composed of mature adipose tissue and tend to be asymptomatic and slow-growing. However, when located in the larynx, they may cause symptoms such as hoarseness, respiratory difficulty, and dysphagia due to compression of adjacent structures. Its diagnosis is challenging and is often mistaken for other benign masses, such as polyps and laryngeal cysts. Laryngeal lipomas are most commonly found in the supraglottic region, where there is a higher concentration of adipose tissue. Imaging methods, such as computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), are essential for its characterization. Histologically, it is composed of mature adipocytes, well-defined, and without atypia. Complete surgical excision is the definitive treatment, with good success rates and a low probability of recurrence, as long as the removal is complete. Although the prognosis after excision is excellent, with rapid recovery of vocal and respiratory function, long-term follow-up is important to monitor for possible recurrences. The rarity of this lesion and the absence of well-defined management protocols make this topic of great interest to otolaryngologists and head and neck surgeons, highlighting the importance of reporting cases to better understand the disease and improve surgical techniques.

Published: November 2024

Introduction: According to the World Health Organization (WHO, 2021) that mental illness or disorders are usually characterized by a combination of abnormal thoughts, perceptions, emotions, and behaviors, which can also affect relationships with other people. Anxiety is the emotional response and individual evaluation that is subjective that influences by nature and conscious and yet does not specifically identify with its cause. Mental illness agree focus on the other thing that World Healthcare insurance Organization (WHO, 2020), is characterized by abnormally thoughts, emotional and behavioral issues, that can affect interpersonal relationships. The anxiety is one such as disorder, and its nervous about-face responses to subjectively cases. Research Objective: To access the relationship between families' knowledge about anxiety disorders at the Liquiça Inpatient Community Health Center. Research Methodology: A quantitative analytical correlation study using a cross-sectional approach, was conducted with 73 respondents.

Treatment of Indolent Ulcer with cultured canine mesenchymal stem cells
Authors: RT Lakey Jonathan
Published: November 2024

Background: Indolent ulcers are noninfectious epithelial defects of the cornea, typically presenting as chronic, superficial lesions. These ulcers are most commonly observed in dogs and are the leading cause of ophthalmic consultation in the UVS Ophthalmology service. These ulcers, which are more common in older dogs, often have difficulty healing naturally. Underlying eye conditions and infections can further hinder the healing process, potentially causing vision impairment and eventually removal of the eye. In this manuscript, we present the success of using mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) in a preliminary pilot trial to treat indolent ulcers. Methods: Companion animals with indolent eye ulcers that did not respond to traditional treatment protocols were treated with suspended canine bone marrow-derived MSCs (5 x 105 cells total) administered via an eyedropper and then monitored for a period of 2-3 hours post infusion before being released back to their owners. Dogs had a follow up visit after 48-72 hours by the veterinary team. Results: Of the 12 adult canine pets with indolent ulcers, MSC treatment led to recovery of the ulcers within 5-6 weeks after administration. Conclusions: This pilot trial showed the promise of the use of topical canine MSC for dogs with indolent ulcers. In the near future we are planning to conduct a randomized prospective trial. We consider the use of expanded stem cells to treat indolent ulcers represent a novel and potentially effective approach and it is our intention to further expand the use of MSCs in the indication of ocular indolent ulcers.
Peritoneal Hydatidosis
Authors: Mountassir Marouane
Published: November 2024

A widespread parasitic illness, hydatidosis is a serious public health concern, especially in endemic nations like Morocco. Analyzing the prognostic, therapeutic, paraclinical, evolutionary, and clinical aspects of widespread peritoneal hydatidosis with numerous localizations is the aim of this work. All problems that arise from Echinococcus granulosus larvae essentially secondary populating the peritoneal serosa are collectively referred to as peritoneal hydatidosis. The polymorphic symptomatology of peritoneal hydatidosis is one of its defining characteristics. Epidemiological, clinical, biochemical, and imaging findings are combined to make the diagnosis. Materials and Methods: We present a case of peritoneal hydatidosis in its specific form that occurred in the visceral surgery emergency service P35 of the Ibn Rochd Hospital during the year 2017. Results: The purpose of the patient's admission was to treat diffuse peritoneal hydatidosis. A clinical examination found many hepatomegaly-related abdominal tumors. The biological evaluation revealed a highly positive hydatid serology. Computed tomography was used to establish the preoperative diagnosis of peritoneal hydatidosis. It revealed sub-mesocolic peritoneal hydatidosis and type 3 hydatid cysts in segments VI, VII, II, and III of the left liver. Resection of the hydatid cysts and projecting domes along with drainage was the course of treatment. Following a straightforward surgical procedure, the patient was released on day six, receiving adjuvant treatment consisting of albendazole for a duration of three months. In our current work, we emphasized the diagnostic challenges presented by this atypical placement of the hydatid cyst, as well as the significant role that CT plays in delivering a positive and extremely exact topographic diagnosis, based on this observation and the literature. In addition, we discussed the critical role that surgery plays in the therapy of this illness and the growing significance of medical care, especially in preventing recurrences. One uncommon but dangerous side effect of hydatid illness is peritoneal hydatidosis. A positive diagnosis is dependent on clinical, paraclinical, and epidemiological data, the most prominent of which is computed tomography. The prognosis is determined by optimal surgical care of peritoneal hydatidosis and early detection and treatment of the main locations.
The Relevance of Teaching Creative Thinking at Primary School Level in Nigeria
Authors: Eze Hilary Oguejiofor
Published: November 2024

In our fast-changing world, where those skills that were adequate some decades ago are grossly inappropriate to prepare children for the general existence beyond school, and where technological transformation has created and annihilated jobs, the foundation of creative thinking skills needs to be laid very early in life. Learning as the acquisition of past inherited ideas gives rise to reproductive learning, which entails the acquisition of established body of cultural knowledge, approved skills, set outlooks, methods and rules used for dealing with familiar and recurrent situations, is suitable for a fixed pattern of society. Such style of learning (reproductive learning) served people’s needs in the past; but it is highly inadequate for today’s rapidly changing world. What is actually required in our contemporary society is innovative learning if we are to shape a certain future and ensure the overall healthy survival of the society. A philosophical analysis of this belief reveals that instituting a subject in primary school level that will cultivate creativity, which begins in formative years when the identity of a child as a thinking person is being established, is urgently needed. Hermeneutical investigation of the ultimate goal of education, for instance, reveals that those who are creative, inventive and innovative are those who have sound imagination, critical and creative minds, and this makes the teaching of creative thinking at the primary school level crucial.
Teaching Morality and Creative Thinking with Modern Technology at Pre-tertiary Level
Authors: Ofuasia Emmanuel
Published: November 2024

It is laudable and appealing, the proposal that philosophy be taught at the pre-tertiary level in Nigeria. Since we live in an era where everything is technology-laden and driven, it seems natural that technology too will help in pedagogy. Consequently and presumably, any technological gadget that can make the task of knowledge acquisition and transmission have an effective impression on the minds of pupils may be explored and employed. On first showing, it seems obvious that there is more to gain from modern technology as a means to instilling philosophic ideas in the minds of teenagers and pre-teenagers. A deeper reflection however, not only regurgitates the debate, whether or not humanity is enslaved to technology but reminds of the imminent and remote dangers of mishandling technological gadgets, even when they are for teaching. By using technology to teach morality and creative thinking, are the pupils not being trained to rely on machines even for the simplest of tasks? Will the use of technology for pedagogy not contradict the goal of instilling independent thinking, the core of teaching philosophy at pre-tertiary level in Nigeria? This essay examines these queries to posit that assuming a cautious and optimistic locus, technology will not vitiate the goal of effective teaching of philosophy at the pre-tertiary level but assist in the business of raising minds potentially placed for greatness.
Dewey’s Pragmatic Philosophy of Education, Twenty-first Century Moral Learning and Social Development in Nigeria
Authors: Odozor Uche Samuel , Akintona Emmanuel Ola
Published: November 2024

John Dewey viewed education as a dynamic, lifelong process on the basis of which human society flourishes. Education, in Dewey’s reckoning, is not just the acquisition of knowledge, or the means thereof; more importantly, education is a moral concept. It is a project of nation-building because it enables social cohesion and progress. Dewey’s insights contrast sharply with the Nigerian policy persuasion, wherein education merely serves as means of acquiring paper qualification for paid employment. Since the late 1970s, the Nigerian public education system has undergone steady decline in quality. Today, moral degeneration and materialism among Nigerian youths have attained a climax. This is partly because the educational system tends to bifurcate education and practical moral living, thus disconnecting education from its social impact in most areas of national life. This paper explores these, and related problems of Nigeria’s educational system through the lens of Dewey’s pragmatic approach to educational planning and management. The sources of data for this study were library and archival materials, as well as secondary (internet) sources, which were subjected to critical content analysis. Dewey’s work is particularly useful due to its emphasis on moral education, and because it is focused on learning by doing as an alternative to rote knowledge. It is participatory, and seamlessly addresses itself to the formal and informal dimensions of child education. After a century of widespread influence, Dewey’s thought is certainly worthy of being brought to bear on the ailing Nigerian basic education system.

The emerging dismal performance of pupils and students in primary and secondary schools both in character and learning, calls for concern. This paper addressed the challenges often exhibited by pupils and students in pre-tertiary institutions. The paper made use of qualitative research design where data were sourced from books, journals, newspapers and the internet. The paper also adopted the historical, expository and evaluative methods of data presentation. The historical method situated the abysmal performance of the above named institutions from the historical perspective. The expository method identified the various immoral and poor intellectual performances of same while the evaluative method advanced various strategies of addressing the phenomenon. The researchers found out the society in general is worst hit as there are vices ranging from lying, examination misconduct which degenerates to all manners of corruption. The work recommended that moral values should be taught as a subject in primary and secondary schools as well as the introduction of critical, creative and rational skills to enhance their learning profile. The work therefore concluded that if this is done, the pupils and students will imbibe early values and skills necessary for their personal and societal growth and development.
Cultural Relativism: A Pragmatic Tool for National Cohesion and Development
Authors: Nnaemeka Chukwuma Joseph , Okoye Uche Miriam , Abah George Ohabuenyi
Published: November 2024

The word relativism in ethics and philosophy in general is conceived by some scholars as having a negative connotation capable of breeding anarchy within the state or in our daily existence. This paper therefore discusses the meaning of the term relativism in relation to culture, especially when applied to a multi-cultural nation state as Nigeria. The real problem here concerns how to bring about cultural cohesion for national development. The colonial overlords perniciously partitioned Africa among themselves without consideration for the cultural differences among Africans. The struggle for independence led to the emergence of new nation states within Africa, most of which are marriages of strange bed fellows; resulting in the lack of patriotism and solidarity amongst the people. Hence, cultural relativism as a theory seeks to resolve this apparent anomaly which has so far hampered national development. It advocates for the proper structuring or configuration of plural new nation states as Nigeria in such a way that the identity of each ethnic group is recognized and preserved. This will go a long way in bringing about national cohesion through cultural interaction and integration. In other words, cultural relativism offers a pragmatic approach to the attainment of a truly united Nigeria and the African continent as a whole.

Authors: ThweSoe Aye Thwe , Khine May Myat
Published: November 2024

There is an increasing need for clean water for human health and the environment, so the removal of toxic metals from wastewater with low-cost adsorbents plays an essential role. In this research, the synthesis of cashew gum (CG) polysaccharide (arabinogalactan)-acrylamide (Am) (CG-AM) hydrogel was carried out with three independent variables: Hydration ratio (ml/g), amount of monomer (acrylamide, Am) (g) and concentration of crosslinker (methylene-bisacrylamide, MBA) (%) by radical polymerisation. The removal efficiency of Pb2+ and Cd2+ from the stock solution of lead nitrate and cadmium sulphate by adsorption technique was also studied by optimisation using BBD of RSM. Furthermore, the functional and structural properties of all types of hydrogels were analysed by characterisation with FTIR, (XRD), (SEM) with EDS and swelling capacity analysis. An optimum hydrogel yield of 4.527 g was obtained at a hydration ratio of 10 ml/g, monomer amount of 2.5 g and crosslinker concentration of 3% w/v of one gram of extracted arabinogalactan. For Pb2+ removal, 86.985 % removal efficiency was obtained at a hydration ratio of 25 ml/g, monomer amount of 1g and crosslinker concentration of 1%, while for Cd2+ removal, 18.875 % removal efficiency was obtained at a hydration ratio of 10 ml/g, monomer amount of 4g and crosslinker concentration of 2%. (CG-AM)H Pb2+ had the highest swelling capacity of 11.072 g H2O/g polymer hydrogel but (CG-AM)H had the lowest of 5.322 g H2O/g polymer hydrogel due to crosslinking capacity. The FTIR result, the (CG-AM)H Pb2+ showed a significant peak of C-O stretching of the S-glycosidic bond of hydrogel to absorb the Pb2+ ions. From XRD and SEM results, (CG-AM)H Pb2+ showed an amorphous nature of hygroscopic properties and a three-dimensional network structure with open pores.

This study aims to develop and evaluate the effectiveness of short tutorial videos in teaching the essential operation of lathe machines in mechanical engineering. Utilizing the ADDIE model (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluation), the research was conducted at SMK N 1 Sumatera Barat, involving 65 vocational school students. The short tutorial videos were designed to enhance students' comprehension and cognitive ability in lathe machine operations, addressing the challenges posed by traditional teaching methods. Data were collected through questionnaires and practical tests to assess students' understanding and skills. The findings revealed that the short tutorial videos significantly improved students' comprehension and cognitive ability, although variations in understanding levels were observed. Normality tests confirmed a normal data distribution, allowing for the use of paired sample t-tests, which indicated no significant difference between the Mechanical Engineering and Industrial Mechanical Engineering groups after using the tutorials. Validation by media and content experts demonstrated the high quality and relevance of the instructional material. This study underscores the importance of developing more interactive and adaptive learning media and highlights the need to explore further other factors influencing cognitive ability.
Enhanced tribological performance of PLA/CNC composites: A comparison with phenolic resin and nylon
Authors: Hsieh Chia-Feng , Shi Shih-Chen , Rahmadiawan Dieter
Published: November 2024

PLA has been developed to replace plastic because it is degradable. For more advanced applications, more research is needed on PLA. This study investigates the tribological properties of phenolic resin, nylon, and PLA/CNC composites under varying sliding distances and loads. Both phenolic resin and nylon demonstrate exceptional wear resistance and stable friction coefficients. PLA/CNC composites exhibit improved wear resistance, showing a 17% reduction in friction coefficient at a 3 wt.% CNC content. While the wear volume of PLA/CNC composites increases with sliding distance, the addition of CNC enhances PLA’s self-lubricating properties and overall wear resistance. The correlation between dissipated energy and wear volume confirms that higher CNC content significantly improves the durability of PLA. These findings suggest that CNC has considerable potential as an additive to enhance the tribological performance of PLA composites, making it a valuable material for various applications requiring superior wear resistance.
Feature specification, underspecification, and morphophonemic process and feature geometry of Amharic language
Authors: Mekt Gebreiyesu
Published: November 2024

In linguistics, a peculiarity is the most basic unit of phonological structure that can be analysed in phonological theory. Distinguishing traits are categorized according to the natural segment classes they describe: major class traits, larynx traits, manner traits, and place traits. The paper does not have a specific section for methods. However, in this paper the author provides a detailed analysis of the phonological processes of assimilation in the Amharic language.  The paper explains how assimilation predominantly takes place contiguously and mainly at word or morpheme boundaries, hence mainly morphophonemic in nature. The author discusses different types of assimilation processes such as voice assimilation, glottalization, palatalization, etc. and provides ample examples from the language. The paper also describes how most of the values in language are predicted on the basis of other features under combinatorial specification and radical under specification. Additionally, the paper describes the patterns of units of phonological analysis in Amharic, which occur in particular regular patterns that need to be discovered for each language. Overall, the paper provides a comprehensive understanding of feature specifications, morphophonemic process, and feature geometry of Amharic language.
