Authors: Lestari Hasti Wuri , Susilo Achmadi , Wisnujati Nugrahini Susantinah
Published: December 2024

This study aims to analyze price variations at both the producer and consumer levels (1), investigate price transmission elasticity (2), and assess the degree of integration in the vertical corn market between producers (farmers) and consumers (retailers) in East Java Province (3). The analysis of market integration serves as vital input for the government in formulating agricultural development policies within the research area. Conducted as a quantitative study, this research utilized secondary data, specifically monthly time series data spanning from January 2018 to December 2021. The data included corn price information at the producer level sourced from the Agriculture and Food Security Office of East Java Province, and consumer-level corn price data obtained from the East Java Province Industry and Trade Office (SiSKAPERBAPO website). The data underwent descriptive quantitative analysis. The findings reveal that the coefficient of price variation at the producer level is 8.9 percent, indicating high fluctuation and instability, whereas at the consumer level, it stands at 2.8 percent, signifying lower and stable fluctuations. The price elasticity (et) of corn for the years 2019-2021 was calculated as 0.0033 (inelastic), -0.2029 (inelastic), and 2.6359 (elastic), respectively. These results suggest that the rate of price change at the consumer level exceeded that at the producer level (an et value > 1 indicates inefficient corn marketing). The analysis of corn market integration in East Java reveals weak integration between producer and consumer markets in both the short and long terms. This indicates imperfect transmission of market information by market participants, particularly large traders who play a significant role as price setters.

Published: December 2024

Background: A key component of treating extreme obesity and the related metabolic syndrome is bariatric surgery. The purpose of this research was to assess the long-term effects of bariatric surgery on patients' cardiovascular and metabolic health at the Rehman Medical Institute General Hospital in Peshawar.
Methods: A retrospective cohort research was carried out on 120 patients who had bariatric surgery performed between 2018 and 2020 (Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, sleeve gastrectomy, or adjustable gastric banding). Over the course of a 5-year follow-up period, data on weight reduction, glycemic control (as determined by fasting blood glucose and HbA1c levels), lipid profiles, blood pressure, cardiovascular events, and death were gathered.
Results: Following surgery, there were notable improvements in every metabolic parameter. The average weight loss was 27.5 kg, and after five years, the average BMI decreased by 9.5 kg/m². With mean fasting blood glucose dropping to 104.7 mg/dL and HbA1c to 6.6%, there was a significant improvement in glucose management. Positive alterations in blood pressure and lipid profiles were also seen. Both mortality and the incidence of cardiovascular events sharply decreased.
Conclusion: This 5-year research shows that bariatric surgery, especially Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, is very beneficial in treating metabolic syndrome and cardiovascular health in addition to causing long-term weight reduction. The results of this study support the notion that bariatric surgery is an essential option for the treatment of extreme obesity and its concomitant conditions. To improve long-term results, further research is required to improve surgical technique and patient selection criteria.
Biomechanical analysis and application of image processing technology based on deep learning in the indoor evaluation system of high-rise buildings
Authors: Li Shaoyang
Published: December 2024

In the context of biomechanics and the built environment, understanding the relationship between the indoor space layout of high-rise buildings and human biomechanical responses is crucial. To enhance the quality of the indoor space layout of buildings with respect to human biomechanical comfort and functionality, this paper proposes a method for extracting the characteristics of the indoor space layout of high-rise buildings based on deep-learning image processing. The indoor space layout parameters are not only related to architectural aesthetics but also have implications for human movement and biomechanical behavior. For example, the dimensions and configurations of rooms and corridors can affect gait patterns, body postures, and muscle activations during walking and other activities. According to the extracted indoor space layout parameters, their edge sequences are determined. The image processing algorithm based on deep learning is then used to control the convergence of the characteristic parameters. This process is not only for architectural feature extraction but also to analyze how these features interact with human biomechanics. For instance, the angles and lengths of corridors can influence the turning radii and step frequencies of individuals, which are key biomechanical factors. By extracting the characteristics of the indoor space layout of high-rise buildings, we can evaluate how well the space accommodates human movement and biomechanical needs. The results reveal that the proposed method can effectively extract features relevant to both architecture and biomechanics, and the accuracy in assessing biomechanically relevant features is always higher than 90%. This high accuracy indicates the potential of this method to contribute to the design of indoor spaces that are more conducive to human biomechanical well-being and efficient movement.

Proposed Mechanisms for Developing the Tax System and Their Impact on Encouraging Investment (A Practical Study in the Iraqi General Commission for Taxes)
Authors: Al-Khazaali Reaah Chfat Abdullah , Ajina Ayman Al-Nasser
Published: December 2024

The significance of this research stems from the increasing interest in studying the mechanisms for developing the tax system, which play a role in encouraging investment, as well as the effective role that taxes play in economic activities. The tax system encompasses every individual in society according to their capacity and ability, whereby each person contributes to bearing public expenses and burdens based on their income and revenue. This is essential for the state to meet public expenditures and obligations; the wealthy pay more than the poor, and everyone contributes to bearing the burdens resulting from achieving social and economic goals. The tax system works to attract funds, encourage investment, and direct it toward economic and social activities. For instance, exempting agricultural income from taxes has led to directing investment into agriculture, industry, and other sectors. As a result, this creates new job opportunities for citizens, increases local production, and halts or reduces similar goods, thereby providing financial resources for the nation and creating new export opportunities. It also attracts Arab and foreign capital and facilitates the transfer of skills, expertise, and technology in its latest forms.

Published: December 2024

Lornoxicam has a low solubility; therefore, its oral use is restricted due to its adverse effects on the gastric system. Hence, we intend to design a niosomal transdermal patch of Lornoxicam to improve clinical efficacy and enhance its absorption and penetration through the skin by applying surfactants. Surfactants generally improve the solubility and penetration of the active ingredients. The niosome vesicles are prepared by using the rotary film evaporation technique. The result showed that the percentage entrapment efficacy of unsonicated niosome vesicles was 70.13 ±0.2% and sonicated 72.39 ±0.02% of the optimized formulation. The sonicator apparatus reduced the size of vesicles; hence, the entrapment efficacy of sonicated formulations is greater than that of unsonicated formulations. The in vitro release of optimized niosomal patches formulations (TPF1- TPF2-TPF3) was performed for 6 hours across the egg membrane, where results showed that the maximum release of TPF1 formulation due to less thickness (121 ±1.53 μm) was 90.86%.

Published: December 2024

Climate change represents one of the paramount challenges confronting humanity today. The profound impacts of phenomena such as changes in precipitation patterns, global warming, polar ice melt, floods, and the onset of untimely and extreme temperatures worldwide have instilled a sense of urgency and concern. This critical issue has been placed at the forefront of climate change. To understand the ramifications of climate change on water resources within the Harirud-Marghab River basin, an analysis of average precipitation and temperature variations (including minimum, maximum, and average values) across different time frames (annual, monthly, seasonal, and during wet and dry seasons) has been conducted using data from hydrometeorological stations in the catchment area from 1979 to 2022. the non-parametric Mann-Kendall and PCI methods were chosen as the analytical tools. The findings reveal a notable decline in annual rainfall within the Harirud-Marghab River basin, with a pronounced reduction during the winter, the basin's primary water season. Conversely, an increase in seasonal rainfall has been observed in summer and autumn. Overall, rainfall in this river basin tends to be intense, occurring on limited days throughout the year. Furthermore, a significant rise in the annual average temperature has been documented, alongside fluctuations and changes in water flow across most stations within the basin. Consequently, the surface water resources of the Harirud-Marghab River basin have experienced a substantial decrease, amounting to approximately 29% of its capacity, equivalent to a reduction of 0.98 billion cubic meters of water.

Depression and anxiety are widespread mental disorders globally, imposing significant burdens on both individual and societal health. With the continuous advancement of research in the field of mental health, the influence of nutrition on psychological well-being has emerged as an increasingly important area of study. A growing body of evidence suggests that specific nutrients may play a crucial role in the prevention and treatment of depression and anxiety, particularly in the regulation of neurobiological mechanisms. Nutrients such as omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin D, B vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants have been shown to offer potential benefits in modulating brain function, alleviating inflammatory responses, and enhancing neurotransmission. This review consolidates recent research on the relationship between these nutrients and depression/anxiety, exploring the possible mechanisms through which they contribute to neural health improvement. The paper also outlines potential future research directions in this area. By providing this comprehensive overview, this paper aims to offer new insights for future mental health interventions and promote the clinical application of nutritional approaches in psychological care.
The emotional dimension of history education: Examining policy, content and interaction through the example of 1860s Sweden
Authors: Heuman Johannes
Published: December 2024

Emotions play a significant role in history education, yet their impact remains a subject of debate. This theoretical article investigates how integrating perspectives on emotions from the humanities, particularly the history of emotions, can enrich research in history didactics and educational history. It proposes a three-step analytical model to examine the evolving role of emotions by focusing on (1) policy, (2) content and (3) interactions. This model facilitates research on emotions in history teaching in both contemporary and historical contexts, with a focus on the representation of emotions through language. The analytical framework is tested through a case study of history education in the 1860s Swedish grammar school. The author argues for recognising emotions as a crucial component of history education and incorporating concepts from the history of emotions into both didactics and educational history. This approach offers new insights into the emotional dimensions of history education, highlighting opportunities, challenges and areas of conflict.

Authors:   Philippine Institute for Development Studies, Albert Jose Ramon , Abrigo Michael RM ,   Philippine Institute for Development Studies, Quimba Francis Mark , Vizmanos Jana Flor , Muñoz Mika
Published: December 2024

This study uses simulation techniques to estimate the potential effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on poverty rates and middle-class transitions in the Philippines, addressing data gaps during the pandemic’s early stages. Using data from the 2018 Family Income and Expenditure Survey, the authors modeled various income reduction scenarios to project changes in poverty levels and socioeconomic class distribution. The findings indicate that a 5-percent income contraction could raise poverty rates by 2.4 percentage points, pushing an estimated 2.6 million Filipinos into poverty. However, the Social Amelioration Program could mitigate this increase, limiting it to 1.3 million additional poor. The study also explores the implications for the country’s AmBisyon Natin 2040 goals and highlights policy priorities for an inclusive recovery. While based on pre-pandemic data and hypothetical scenarios, the study offers valuable insights into the pandemic’s possible impacts and underscores the importance of targeted policy responses.

Introduction : Le carcinome épidermoïde de la conjonctive (CEC) est une tumeur maligne rare, représentant 1% des cancers oculaires. Sa prévalence est particulièrement élevée en Afrique, atteignant 3,4 pour 100 000 habitants. Les principaux facteurs de risque incluent l'exposition aux rayons ultraviolets, l'immunodépression, et l'infection par le HPV.
Cas clinique : L'article présente le cas d'une jeune patiente de 28 ans, séropositive au VIH1, qui consulte pour une masse conjonctivale. L'examen révèle une tumeur conjonctivo-limbique avec un envahissement cornéen. Une exérèse totale a été réalisée avec succès, et l'analyse histologique a confirmé un carcinome épidermoïde papillomateux. Six mois après l'opération, aucune récidive n'a été observée.
Discussion : Le CEC, bien que rare, est en augmentation, surtout chez les jeunes immunodéprimés. Les symptômes initiaux incluent rougeur oculaire et photophobie, évoluant vers une masse blanche. Le traitement de référence est l'exérèse chirurgicale. Des traitements adjuvants peuvent être nécessaires dans les cas avancés. Une surveillance rapprochée est essentielle pour prévenir les récidives.
Conclusion : Le CEC est une tumeur maligne plus fréquente chez les jeunes sujets immunodéprimés. Une exérèse chirurgicale efficace, associée à un suivi, est cruciale pour la gestion de la maladie. La sensibilisation sur les facteurs de risque est également importante.

Introduction : Les affections des voies respiratoires basses constituent l’une des principales causes de mortalité dans le monde. L’objectif était d’étudier les causes et les facteurs liés aux décès des patients admis au service de pneumologie.
Méthodologie : il s’est agi d’une étude rétrospective, descriptive et analytique sur 4 ans de Janvier 2017 à Décembre 2020 portant sur les dossiers des patients décédés durant leur hospitalisation au service de pneumologie de l’HNABD.
Résultats : nous avons inclus 156 sur 1288 patients hospitalisés soit une mortalité de 12,11%. L’âge moyen était de 50,84% et les hommes représentaient 79,49%. Le tabagisme (26,28%), l’antécédent de tuberculose (12,82%) et l’HTA (8,97%) étaient les principales comorbidités. Les lésions radiologiques étaient bilatérales dans 60,38% des cas et étendues à tout le poumon dans 73,58% des cas. Les principales causes de décès étaient la tuberculose et les pneumopathies dans respectivement 53,95% et 24,34% des cas. L’association entre la mortalité due au cancer bronchopulmonaire et le délai de consultation supérieur à 72h était significative ainsi que les associations entre la mortalité due à la tuberculose, la BPCO et le cancer bronchopulmonaire et le tabagisme.
Conclusion : la mortalité au service de pneumologie est importante. Cette dernière est surtout causée par les pathologies infectieuses et ceci est en rapport avec un retard diagnostique et des facteurs de risque comme le tabagisme. Pour réduire cette mortalité, il s’avère nécessaire de sensibiliser la population de venir en consultation précocement et d’éviter le tabagisme.

Les tumeurs métastatiques des mâchoires et de la cavité buccale sont très rares, représentant environ 1 % de toutes les tumeurs buccales. Elles siègent principalement dans la région molaire, plus richement vascularisée que la région antérieure. Nous rapportons un cas de métastase mandibulaire d’un cancer de la prostate révélé par un trismus.
Il s’agissait d’un patient de 74 ans, suivi dans en urologie pour un adénocarcinome prostatique score de Gleason 8, ISUP IV (OMS 2016), classé T2cN0M1c. Il a signalé une difficulté à s’alimenter depuis plus de trois mois. L’examen maxillo-facial mettait en évidence, en exo-bucal un trismus, avec une limitation de l’ouverture de la bouche, un œdème jugal gauche avec un signe de Vincent positif. En endobuccal, on observait une masse mandibulaire bourgeonnante et charnue du secteur 3, indolore, bien limitée, arrondie d’environ 4 cm de diamètre, comblant le fond vestibulaire, laissant intact le plancher. Le TDM du massif facial avait mis en évidence une image suspecte d’ostéolyse mandibulaire avec un aspect en feu d’herbe. La biopsie de la masse était en faveur d’une localisation secondaire d’carcinome probablement prostatique, confirmé par l’étude d’immuno-activité positive des anticorps anti PSA.
La mandibule est un site rare pour le développement de métastases d’un cancer de la prostate. Ce cas rapporté au Sénégal en est le premier rapporté jusqu’à ce jour et devrait pousser les cliniciens à plus d’exhaustivité dans le bilan d’extension des tumeurs ostréophiles.

Objectifs : Déterminer le niveau d’exposition aux organophosphorés par le dosage de l’activité de l’acétylcholinestérase avant et après l’exposition et identifier les facteurs associés.
Méthodologie : Il s’agissait d’une étude rétrospective et descriptive du 01 Juin au 30 Octobre 2017 et du 31 Mai au 30 Octobre 2018 au cours de laquelle 50 agents pulvérisateurs d’un insecticide organophosphoré ont été soumis aux dosages de l’acétylcholinestérase avant et après la période de pulvérisation. Un questionnaire avec les caractéristiques sociodémographiques, les données de la visite médicale, les facteurs de risques d’expositions et les résultats des dosages de l’activité de l’acétylcholinestérase a servi d’instrument de recueil des données. Les données ont été traitées et analysées au logiciel Epi Info version 7. Le test de Chi 2 a permis la comparaison des données et était significatif si P<0,05.
Résultats : L’âge moyen des pulvérisateurs était de 28,1 ans. Le niveau d’instruction primaire prédominait avec une fréquence de 84%. Plus de la moitié (58%) des agents pulvérisateurs ont présenté plus de 20% d’inhibition de l’activité de l’acétylcholinestérase. Parmi ceux qui avaient un niveau primaire d’instruction, 52% ont eu une inhibition de plus de 20% de l’activité de l’acétylcholinestérase avec une relation statistiquement significative (P=0,04). La prévalence des agents qui ne prenaient le bain après la pulvérisation était de 58%. Les agents pulvérisateurs buvaient et fumaient pendant la pulvérisation dans respectivement 24% et 20% des cas. Concernant les équipements de protection individuelle (EPI), 60% ne portaient pas régulièrement les gants, 42% les masques et 32% les tenues. Aucune relation statistiquement significative ne fut mise en évidence avec la réduction de l’activité de l’acétylcholinestérase (p=0,40).
Conclusion : L’intoxication aux pesticides organophosphorés est une réalité. En effet 58% de nos pulvérisateurs ont eu une inhibition de plus de 20% de l’activité de l’acétylcholinestérase. Ce qui confirme leur exposition malgré les mesures préventives qui ont été mises en place. La mise en place des programmes d’information d’éducation et de communication ainsi que l’insistance sur la surveillance médicale des agents pulvérisateurs sont recommandées.

alpha coefficient method, and the degree of influence of each test question on the reliability of the
test papers was analysed. Secondly, the content validity of the test papers is qualitatively analysed
by using the two-way breakdown table of the examination content and competence requirements, with the average of the midterm grade and the usual grade as the validity score, and the correlation
validity of the test papers obtained by using the correlation method is 0.669. Therefore, the reliability
and validity of the final paper of "Linear Algebra" meet the requirements of the two undergraduate
majors for the professional certification of engineering education. The test results truly and
objectively reflect the actual level of the candidates, and the measurement results can reflect the

Research on the utilization of Gold Nanoparticles (GNPs) has rapidly advanced in recent decades, particularly in the biomedical field for cancer detection and therapy. GNPs have unique characteristics, such as nanometer size, high chemical stability, modifiable optical properties, and good biocompatibility, making them ideal candidates for applications in nanomedicine. This literature reviews the utilization of GNPs in cancer detection through local surface plasmon resonance (LSPR)-based imaging techniques, signal enhancement in Raman spectroscopy, and the delivery of specific diagnostic agents. Additionally, in cancer therapy, GNPs are used for photothermal, photodynamic, and targeted drug delivery, which can enhance therapeutic efficacy and reduce side effects on healthy tissues. This literature review also covers the main challenges in the development of GNP-based technologies, including toxicity, in vivo stability, and production scalability. The results of this study indicate that GNPs have great potential for clinical application, although further research is needed to address technical and ethical constraints before they can be widely implemented in cancer treatment in humans
Lightweight Resources for automobiles manufacturing

Published: December 2024

Automakers are now motivated to create lightweight vehicles due to the increasing challenges of reducing greenhouse gas emissions and improving fuel economy. Better recyclability and/or vehicle performance may also result from the weight reduction. The expansion and use of lightweight, high-performance resources as substitutes for traditional motorized materials like steel and cast iron is one successful tactic. This paper discusses vehicle lightweighting as a means of promoting better fuel economy and assisting the automotive industry in achieving sustainability. Innovative resources suitable for the constructing of next generation vehicles were reviewed. Advanced high-strength steel (AHSS), aluminum alloys, magnesium alloys, Titanium, polymers, and composite materials frequently utilized for lightweight construction applications were among the cutting-edge materials for the production lightweight vehicles. Categorization, manufacturing methods, physical/mechanical characteristics, and possible uses of lightweight ingredients are investigated. A summary of the reviewed materials' benefits and limitations is provided, along with the suitable application scenarios for various lightweight materials.

This research analyzes the differences in slang vocabulary used by Generation Z and the Millennial Generation and their implications in a sociolinguistic context. Intergenerational differences in language use, especially slang, reflect cultural changes, technological developments and social dynamics that influence daily communication patterns. Using a qualitative approach and comparative methods, this research identifies variations in slang vocabulary and explores the factors that influence these differences. Data was collected through direct observation and interviews with representatives of each generation to understand their perceptions of slang. The research results show that there are significant variations in vocabulary, where Generation Z is more influenced by digital culture and social media, while Millennials tend to retain terms that developed from the popular culture of the 2000s. The sociolinguistic implications of these differences include aspects of identity, communication habits, and intergenerational relationships. It is hoped that this research will provide insight into language changes in urban society and its contribution to the development of sociolinguistics.

Children have certain characteristics that are unique and different from adults, they are always active, dynamic, enthusiastic and curious about what they see, hear, feel, they seem to never stop exploring and learning. Early childhood (range 0-6 years) is the right time for parents to provide education that helps develop positive behavior in children. Moreover, at this early age is the golden age, where the  brain experiences very rapid or explosive development. Early childhood can be said to be repeat imitators, where children will imitate what is seen, heard, felt from their environment. This is because, early childhood does not yet know the boundaries of right or wrong, good or bad, and appropriate. Instilling character values in early childhood is an important step in forming a good personality from an early age. One effective method in character education is through literature, especially fairy tales. The method used is a qualitative method with library research. The results of the study show that fairy tales have great potential in instilling moral values, such as honesty, courage, responsibility, and empathy. Therefore, the use of fairy tales as a medium for early childhood character education is a relevant and effective strategy to support character in early childhood.
