Authors: G. Surya Kiran Reddy  , J. Jeevaniya Anil  , G Ramya Balaprabha  , T. Rama Rao
Published: December 2023

An inflammatory, demyelinating, autoimmune disease that primarily affects the central nervous system mainly targeting optic nerve and spinal cord is called neuromyelitis optica (NMO). The term NMOSD refers to a recently revised nomenclature that includes new diagnostic criteria, such as serum aquaporin-4 immunoglobulin G (AQP4-IgG) antibody serological testing. One of the two common symptoms of NMOSD is optic neuritis or myelitis, which might appear as the initial symptom. And other symptoms include weakness, numbness, paralysis of limbs, nausea, vomiting, imbalance. It is thought to be related to an autoimmune reaction in which the immune system unintentionally targets healthy cells, particularly targeting proteins in the central nervous system like aquaporin-4. Seronegative NMOSD is treated with methylprednisolone, plasma exchange therapy, and IV immunoglobulin-G therapy.

Authors: Aksoy L
Published: December 2023

Total phenolic content, total antioxidant capacity, radical scavenging activity, prominent enzyme inhibitory properties, bioelement concentration and fatty acid content were determined qualitatively and quantitatively. methanol and acetone extracts of Polygonum afyonicum. The DPPH radical scavenging effect of the plant was found to be significantly different (p˂0.05) than the synthetic antioxidant butylated hydroxy toluene in the acetone extract with total phenolic content. The total antioxidant capacity of the acetone extract was higher than the methanolic extract total antioxidant status. The enzyme-inhibiting properties of acetone extract are also exceptionally high. It was found to inhibit acetylcholine esterase (86.97±3.76%) and exhibited inhibition activity as much as the standard substance galantamine (87.78±2.59%). In addition, it is seen that the tyrosinase enzyme inhibiting effect is high. Among the determined bioelements, those with the highest concentrations are Ca, K and Mg. It also contains elements (Cu, Fe, Mn and Zn) which are included in the antioxidant enzyme structure. Palmitic acid (42.5%), 1-octadecanol (9.2%) and myristic acid (7.1%) were found the most in the content of essential fatty acids and components. As a result, it was determined that the acetone extract of Polygonum afyonicum showed more antioxidative properties. The species is also prominent with its neurodegenerative effects. In addition, there is a need for structural illumination studies to reveal the metabolites responsible for biological activity by determining the phytochemicals contained in the species

Published: December 2023

Objective: The aim of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) in combination with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) in patients with advanced pancreatic cancer. Method: A PRISMA selection protocol was used to identify studies across electronic databases such as; PubMed, Google scholar, Cochrane, Embase, and web of science from inception until November 23, 2022, where data from SBRT studies were compared to data from a combination of SBRT and ICIs for advanced pancreatic cancer. The endpoints recorded after therapy were overall survival (OS), complete response (CR), partial response (PR), stable disease (SD), progressive disease (PD), progression-free survival (PFS) and treatment-related adverse effect (TRAE) were collected in each study. Results: The primary endpoint (OS) retrieved from five studies following SBRT disclosed OS at the rate of one year at 44% as compared to the combination studies of SBRT+ICI with 42%. PFS recorded at the rate of 1 year revealed an outcome of 46% following SBRT. In contrast, PFS in the combination studies recorded SBRT+ICI of 86%. The risk of grade >3 TRAE in the SBRT was 21.5% as compared to the combination studies of 75%. This risk of grade>3 TRAE was reduced as compared to any grade in two studies (Heterogeneity: Chi² = 2.78, df = 1 (P = 0.10); I² = 64%). Conclusion: The Combination of SBRT and ICIs demonstrate modest treatment efficiency and acceptable safety profile in patients with advanced pancreatic cancer. However, combination trials are fewer, and further studies are warranted.

Published: December 2023

The E-Makaryo application is a labor market application that is presented online and developed by the Central Java Provincial Government. The E-Makaryo application which was formed through the Decree of the Head of the Central Java Provincial Manpower and Transmigration Office Number 1024 of 2020 concerning the Online Job Exchange and Labor Market Information Service System (E-Makaryo) in 2020 is managed directly by the Government. Central Java Provincial Manpower and Transmigration Office. In this regulation, there are 9 main objectives for its implementation in the hope of reducing unemployment in Central Java Province. The purpose of this study is to determine the level of effectiveness of the E-Makaryo application in reducing unemployment in Central Java. This research will involve application providers and also users, namely the people of Central Java. The research method uses descriptive qualitative method with data collection techniques through in-depth observation and other supporting data. The theory used in this research is Hoffman and Bateson's development theory of services (action, effort, or performance). Another theory used is the 4 characteristics of effectiveness proposed by (Steers, 1985). The results of this study indicate that the application of the E-Makaryo online job market has not reached the maximum stage caused by the lack of activities to encourage people to recognize and use the E-Makaryo application. Other factors such as supporting information on the application system and service channel factors are still many obstacles in using the E-Makaryo application considering that the application still often causes errors. Based on these problems, researchers have suggestions for application providers to actively conduct socialization to introduce and encourage people, especially Central Java, to use the E-Makaryo application. In addition, application providers can also continue to improve the system by completing the information needed by the community.

Authors: Cecchin Linda
Published: December 2023

This study analyses the linguistic skills of a group of adult deaf signers in the production and comprehension of Italian wh-questions. Their performance was compared with that of a control group of hearing adults, matched on comparable chronological age. The asymmetries found in past studies are confirmed: subject questions are easier to produce and comprehend than object questions and who-questions are easier than which-questions. Deaf participants performed lower than the control group. This reveals that linguistic development in deaf people does not reach its final stages even in adulthood.

Menumbuhkan Rasa Cinta Dan Mengidolakan Rasulullah Saw Melalui Dialog Imajiner
Authors: Lubis Saripuddin
Published: December 2023

Dewasa ini kehidupan manusia sudah semakin disibukkan dengan urusan duniawi. Kehidupan dunia, dengan segala hingar bingarnya, yang selalu menawarkan keindahan, kegembiraan, dan segala kebahagiaan. Namun kehidupan yang hanya menawarkan keindahan, kegembiraan, dan kebahagiaan semu tersebut terus diburu oleh manusia tersebut. Kehidupan semu itu pula yang membuat manusia kadang lupa kalau masih ada kehidupan setelah kehidupan semu tersebut. Bahwa masih ada sebuah kehidupan, tempat manusia mempertanggungjawabkan segala perbuatannya di dunia, pada sebuah kehidupan yang abadi.

Keadaannya tidak pula berbeda dengan kondisi remaja kita saat ini, siswa yang masih mengenyam pendidikan, apalagi yang sama sekali tidak mengenal pendidikan. Para remaja kita selalu dikejar-kejar waktu untuk mengisi hari-harinya. Mulai dari bangun tidur, ke sekolah, bimbingan belajar, belajar malam di rumah. Begitu seterusnya, dan tujuannya hanya untuk mengagung-agungkan dua buah kata yang bernama: masa depan! Yang disayangkan, konsep masa depan yang ada dalam pikiran siswa (mungkin juga orang tuanya) adalah masa depan untuk kehidupan dunia. Tidak pernah terpikir kalau masa depan yang sesungguhnya adalah kehidupan ukhrawi.

Untuk    itu         dalam tulisan ini akan dicoba dikembangkan sebuah pembelajaran berwawancara yang kreatif dalam bentuk dialog imajiner dengan Rasulullah SAW. Pembelajaran dengan dialog imajiner dengan Rasulullah SAW ini diharapkan akan mampu meggali potensi siswa yang terpendam dan diwujudkan dengan kreativitas yang tinggi. Yang paling utama lagi adalah tumbuhnya rasa cinta kepada Rasulullah SAW dan membentuk sebuah sikap dalam diri mereka, bahwa yang pantas dan harus mereka idolakan setelah Allah SWT adalah Rasulullah SAW.

Setelah dicobakan dalam sebuah penelitian tindakan kelas (classroom action research) dalam dua siklus, maka pembelajaran ini ternyata sangat berhasil. Perolehan nilai rata-rata siswa sangat bagus, yaitu 85,95 pada siklus utama. Selain itu, tanggapan siswa dan guru teman sejawat pada pembelajaran ini sangat apresiatif. Hampir semua siswa merasa senang dengan pembelajaran ini karena mereka seperti dipertemukan dengan idola mereka yang sangat mereka rindukan untuk bertemu, yaitu Rasulullah SAW.

Yang paling penting adalah, siswa ternyata telah mampu mengubah paradigma yang selama ini mengidalakan artis, politikus, negarawan, atlet, dan sebagainya dan setelah PBM mereka mulai mengidolakan Rasulullah SAW. Ini berarti siswa-siswa tersebut diharapkan akan mulai menggali lebih mendalam lagi tentang Rasulullah SAW, terutama tentang kepemimpinannya yang sangat dicintai, sangat dipercaya, pembimbing, sangat berkepribadian, dan pemimpin abadi.

Karena itu pula, pembelajaran ini sangat baik dan sesuai digunakan dimana saja, tanpa melihat ruang dan waktu karena medianya hanya menggunakan teknik imajiner. Hasil imajinasi tersebut kemudian dituangkan ke dalam sebuah laporan hasil wawancara yang tentunya sangat menarik perhatian siswa.

Changing financial system architecture under the influence of the fintech market
Authors: Ismayilov Natig , Kozarević Emira
Published: December 2023

In the past seven decades, especially since the Global Financial Crisis, the financial system’s architecture has changed significantly around the world. New financial market entrants, such as fintech start-up companies, offer financial products and services more efficiently than established financial institutions (especially banks and insurance companies), bypassing the regulatory requirements established intermediaries must comply with. Despite the heterogeneity in the fintech concept, we use this term to consider innovations in financial products and services based on emerging information and communication technologies (i.e., information technology and mobile connectivity) as solutions that are changing the financial structure worldwide. Although the share of new participants in the financial system is rather small compared to the incumbents, fintech innovations are continuously advancing (e.g., crowdfunding, marketplace lending, cryptocurrencies, copy trading, robo-advice, insurtech, etc.), and their share is growing fast. This paper provides an overview of the fintech market and its impact (actual and potential) on the financial system’s architecture based on a comprehensive review of the theoretical and empirical literature.

Published: December 2023

The experiment was carried out in open field conditions in Ciğir village, located in the Idil district of Sirnak province, during 2020 tomato growing season. The aim of the study was to investigate the effect of different potassium (potassium chloride, potassium sulfate and potassium nitrate) fertilizers on yield and quality characteristics of tomato plants (Fereng genotype and Kamenta F1 variety) grown under drought stress. The fertilizers were foliar applied at a dose of 1%. Irrigation treatments of the experiment were full irrigation (control, 100%), 66% of the full irrigation, and 33% of the full irrigation. Leaf temperature, relative water content of leaf, chlorophyll content, fresh and dry weight of green parts, membranes injury index, soluble solid content (SSC) in tomato juice, pH of tomato juice and total yield were determined. The results indicated that drought stress had a significant adverse impacts on yield and quality of both Fereng genotype and Kamenta F1 variety. The application of potassium nitrate and potassium sulfate caused an increase in the chlorophyll and water soluble solid content. Potassium chloride application resulted in a reduction in membrane damage. The effects of potassium sulfate fertilizer on yield was significantly higher than the other two potassium fertilizers.
Limit States of Adhesive Layers under Combined Loading
Authors: Glagolev V. V. , Markin A. A.
Published: December 2023

The state of pre-fracture of a thin adhesive layer of finite thickness in the vicinity of a crack-like defect is considered. It is proposed to take into account the hydrostatic pressure, which forms the volume deformation energy, in order to find the critical state. The critical value of the J-integral for the I+II loading mode is assumed to be dependent on the product of the volume strain energy and the layer thickness at the end face of the adhesive. The limiting value of the product of the volume energy and the layer thickness under loading in mode I, as well as the critical values of the J-integral for loading modes I and II, determine the value of the loosening parameter of a particular adhesive in the proposed failure criterion.
Suppression of Vibrations of Beam Bridges by a Train as an Inertial Damper
Authors: Polyakov V. Yu. , Saurin V. V.
Published: December 2023

The article discusses the problem of preventing resonance in bridge beams from the periodic impact of rolling stock. Resonant vibrations of beams occur at high speeds when the train is formed from identical cars. The phenomenon of suppression of beam vibrations by a train is only possible with an exact ratio of the length of the car and the beam, which significantly reduces the set of required beam lengths. In addition, consideration of problems on interaction between a train and a bridge for safety purposes requires the use of a rather complex and cumbersome mathematical apparatus and appropriate software. The article proposes a new method for limiting the vibrations of beams, suitable for any spans and available to engineers at the stage of pre-design assignment of the dynamic parameters of beams.

Published: December 2023

The foundations of eco-economic development of the agricultural sector of the economy have been determined in the context of cross-border cooperation. The eco-economic condition of the agricultural sector in border and cross-border territories has been analyzed. Conceptual provisions and principles for the formation of environmentally safe development of the agricultural sector under the conditions of cross-border cooperation have been developed as a paradigm of Ukraine's national ecological security. A scientifically grounded systemic model of economic development of the agricultural sector in border territories has been created to ensure the future prospective eco-economic integration of regions of neighboring countries. The system of institutional support for agroecological security in the development of border territories has been improved as an institutional basis for the development of the agricultural sector of the economy in the context of its integration into the global eco-economic system of the EU. Intended for government officials and researchers, territorial administration bodies, managers, and specialists engaged in the study of socio-economic and environmental problems of cross-border cooperation development.

This study aims to determine the influence of financial risks on the financial sustainability of Iraq banks, in contrast considering the moderator role of financial expertise and the risk of directors’ riskiest directorships. Moreover, the investment attractiveness has also been accounted for specifying the mediating impact between the moderator variables and financial sustainability. Robust random effect model was employed to investigate the determinants of financial sustainability for the listed banks on the Iraqi stock trade and the Iraqi financial marketplace. In addition, multicriteria decision-making techniques were utilized to rank the banks from the best to worst based on financial sustainability. This study has examined 19 Iraqi banks over 14 years from 2007 to 2020 (266 observations), during the development of the Iraqi corporate governance cod. The findings indicate that financial risk has a negative influence on the financial sustainability of Iraq. Furthermore, the link between financial risks and financial sustainability is fully mediated by investment attractiveness. In this context, financial expertise and the relinquishing of directors’ riskiest directorships have an interactive role in the link among investment attractiveness and financial sustainability indicators. Multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) results revealed that the best bank in terms of financial sustainability is BTRI and the worst bank is BNOR. The findings enable managers to develop strategies to mitigate financial risk in phases and prepare for future unpredicted risks. Hence, the results provided an insight to practitioners regarding the best banks in terms of financial sustainability in order to invest and deal with them.

Social media addiction is associated with sexual dissatisfaction: a cross-sectional study with quota sampling in Portugal
Authors: Costa Rui , Pimenta Filipa , Valente Maria Alexandra Ferreira , Patrão Ivone
Published: December 2023

Social media addiction refers to the frequent and compulsive use of social media sites that interferes with important areas of functioning. There is a growing body of research showing that social media addiction is related to sexual difficulties, which might result, at least partly, from sexual function impairment secondary to adverse effects of social media misuse on psychological well-being and intimate relationship quality. However, the investigation into this topic is still scarce. The present study examines if social media addiction is inversely correlated with sexual satisfaction, and if this association is mediated by relationship satisfaction and mental health satisfaction. Stratified quota sampling was used to recruit a sample of 3,594 Portuguese who used social media and were involved in a romantic relationship (age range: 18 – 69). Participants completed the Internet Addiction Test adapted to social media and single-items measuring satisfaction with sex life, relationship, and mental health. For women and men, greater social media addiction correlated inversely with sexual satisfaction. This association was mediated by relationship satisfaction and mental health satisfaction in parallel multiple mediation tests. The findings confirm that misuse of social media is associated with sexual problems. This might be due to 1) social media addiction interfering with relationship quality, 2) social media causing mental health disturbances that impact sexual function, 3) greater vulnerability to social media addiction being increased by relationship and/or mental health problems that also interfere with sexual satisfaction. The findings are important for raising awareness of potential risks of social media misuse.
