The expectation values play important role in atomic physics and quantum mechanics. They are vital to obtaining the quantum information theoretic measures, Compton profile, electronic kinetic energy, Langevin-Pauli diamagnetic susceptibility, Dirac exchange energy and so on. In this work, however, we utilized the bound state solutions of the non-relativistic Schrödinger equation under the Cornell potential to obtain the expectation values using two analytical methods such as the integral approach and the Hellmann-Feynman theorem method. We applied the mean values to obtain the Fisher information theoretic measures for the Charmonium and Bottomonium mesons. We found that the mean values and probability densities are sensitive to the meson masses and the principal quantum number for fixed orbital quantum states. The Dirac exchange and the kinetic energies obey the lowest bound inequalities for 3D atomic systems. Also, the results obey the Fisher uncertainty product, Cramer-Rao and the Heisenberg uncertainty inequalities for 3D quantum systems.
Rekonsiliasi dan Pengampunan
Authors: Rumbi Frans Paillin , Sulle Yosef
Published: December 2024

Pemberontakan Darul Islam/ Tentara Islam Indonesia (DI/TII) di Sulawesi Selatan tahun 1951-1965, meninggalkan luka dalam ingatan kolektif penyintas di Seko, secara khusus umat Kristen. Ingatan atas luka turut memengaruhi rekonsiliasi di Seko. Penelitian ini bermaksud mengkaji rekonsiliasi di Seko Lemo dalam perspektif teologi pengampunan. Metode penelitian yang kami gunakan ialah pendekatan kualitatif jenis fenomenologi. Peneliti melakukan wawancara kepada penyintas (generasi pertama dan kedua). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa rekonsiliasi Kristen-Islam berlangsung sejak mereka pulang dari pengungsian. Rekonsiliasi di Seko sangat ditentukan oleh faktor kekeluargaan, perkawinan, kesediaan mendengar pengakuan dan narasi pelaku.  Penyintas mengampuni berdasarkan ajaran kekristenan tentang mendoakan musuh. Akan tetapi, pengampunan yang berlangsung masih bersifat pengampunan sosial (orang per orang). Kami merekomendasikan perlunya memberi perhatian terhadap pengampunan Ilahi. Pengampunan ilahi merupakan anugerah Tuhan kepada manusia berdosa, yang harusnya mendasari pengampunan kepada sesama.

Duelling Scientists
Authors: Picone María de los Ángeles
Published: December 2024

This article examines the debates between scientists who explored the Patagonian Andes in the context of the Chilean-Argentine border negotiations in the 1890s. Two of these figures, Hans Steffen (Chile) and Francisco Moreno (Argentina), produced reports, maps, and articles based on their findings. This scholarly production reveals a facet of border negotiations where scientists negotiated the borderline based on their analysis of the geography of the Andes. Scholarly debates underpinned the negotiations, but they also highlighted the narrow distance scientists navigated between their call to contribute to (Western) science and their loyalty to the governments that supported their explorations.

Nos limites da etnogênese e suas consequências analíticas: sobre porque é necessário reconsiderar as ontologias indígenas na História
Authors: Ferreira de Lema Fabrício
Published: December 2024

O objetivo desse texto é estabelecer um panorama a respeito da produção que trata da História Indígena nos últimos 30 anos. Seu intuito foi estabelecer uma separação tipológica e heurística entre duas grandes correntes de interpretação: a primeira, vinculada às abordagens de cunho processualista e pós-processualista que foram especialmente afetadas pelos debates relativos a etnogênese e seus desdobramentos; a segunda, agrupa trabalhos atravessados pelas problemáticas cujo plano de imanência são as questões oriundas da abordagem estrutural. Esse exercício de contraposição visa o estabelecimento de comparações, que têm o intuito de indicar alguns dos limites interpretativos oriundos da primeira corrente de pensamento. Ao final do ensaio, consideramos os apontamentos levantados ao longo do texto para pensar no caso específico do Chaco no século XVIII, numa tentativa de demonstrar a necessidade de um cuidado analítico com os conceitos e noções indígenas no momento de problematizar a leitura das fontes coloniais.
As independências na sala de aula: reflexões e propostas sobre um desconforto docente
Authors: De Morais Marcus Vinícius , De Souza Fredrigo Fabiana
Published: December 2024

Muitos professores sentem dificuldades de trabalhar, em sala de aula, com o tema das independências hispanoamericanas, visto que, em muitas escolas, a América continua sendo um tema pouco debatido e até mesmo ignorado. O complexo processo de separação das colônias espanholas envolveu uma série de conceitos, tais como nação, identidade, o Iluminismo, a opinião pública, o ressentimento histórico e a construção dos heróis libertadores. Mais do que discussões teóricas e análises historiográficas, este artigo tem como objetivo refletir a respeito da prática docente, sugerindo novos assuntos e algumas estratégias de ensino. Da mesma forma, este estudo também pretende ampliar os olhares a respeito das análises de documentos consagrados, como a Carta da Jamaica, propor novas fontes, como a imprensa periódica, além de trabalhar com a iconografia e com as relações existentes entre a América Hispânica e a América Portuguesa.
O Ensino da Guerra do Paraguai nos Livros Escolares
Authors: Aubert Pedro Gustavo
Published: December 2024

O ensino sobre a Guerra do Paraguai figura no ensino escolar brasileiro desde o século XIX, transmitindo a visão de autores contemporâneos aos fatos. No âmbito acadêmico tais leituras passaram a sofrer contestação a partir da década de 1960, com o chamado “revisionismo”. O revisionismo esteve presente em materiais didáticos brasileiros ao longo das décadas de 1980 e 1990. Nos anos 2000, com novas abordagens que contestavam o revisionismo, as novas leituras historiográficas chegaram aos livros escolares de Ensino Fundamental e Médio. Em 2017 houve uma grande reforma estrutural do Ensino Médio que pulverizou diversos conteúdos de ciências humanas em itinerários formativos interdisciplinares. Contudo, a reforma empreendida, alvo de muitas críticas, não modificou a abordagem historiográfica do tema. Materiais tanto de Ensino Fundamental quanto Médio, das redes pública e privada apresentam ao estudante diversas visões sobre a Guerra do Paraguai com o objetivo de estimular o pensamento crítico.
FICTIONAL REALITIES OF PERFORMATIVE STORYTELLING IN CONTEMPORARY ART
Authors:   Academy of Fine Arts Vienna: Vienna, Austria, Petrović Jelena
Published: December 2024

This paper focuses on art-based storytelling practices that challenge conventional boundaries between reality and fiction, weaving pluriversal narratives that blend mythical, futuristic, and historical elements. These artistic research practices open up public spaces for critical reflection, artistic exploration, and alternative realities in response to contemporary social, political, and cultural contexts. Through the lens of performative storytelling techniques, the paper highlights how today’s artists navigate and transcend semiotic limitations imposed by language to express personal dissent regarding societal norms and power structures. Often embodied through Bakhtin’s concept of grotesque realism and related theoretical approaches (Kristeva, Derrida, Bourriaud, Bishop, Butler and others), such storytelling formats in contemporary art celebrate incompleteness, transgression, and the disruption of norms by symbolically grounding elevated phenomena in tangible experiences. The paper particularly focuses on several examples of contemporary art storytelling that embody such carnivalesque language of resistance, including performances by Alexis O’Hara, Lala Raščić, Walid Raad, and Margareta Kern. Through subversive narratives of fictional realities, these storytelling practices not only question established truths and reimagine possibilities for change and liberation, but also amplify resistant voices that resonate, either individually or collectively, in art and everyday life.
FROM BAD TO WORSE: WHY THE CONCEPT OF ANTIHERO FAILS
Authors:   The Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences : Rijeka, HR, Grčki David
Published: December 2024

In this paper, I argue that the concept of antihero fails to adequately explain how and why we engage with fictional characters. In the first part, The Structure of Sympathy, I present the most prominent epistemic theory of character engagement – Murray Smith’s theory of sympathy, which contains recognition, alignment, and allegiance. In the second part of the paper, The Problem of ‘Antihero’, I explain the problem of ‘antihero’ as is presented in contemporary literature. I argue that the ‘antihero’ as a concept suffers from two problems: the unclear moral criteria and the unity of concept. I contend that these problems are unsurmountable and that we should reject the concept of ‘antihero’ when explaining character engagement. I conclude by arguing that the framework of tragedy and the rejection of villains explain how we engage with morally bad characters.

Perjanjian Koeksistensi Merek dan Letter of Consent terhadap Merek yang Memiliki Unsur Persamaan pada Pokoknya
Authors: Alvisalia Yelma Nomida
Published: December 2024

A trademark serves as the identity of a product and/or service, representing the quality and reputation associated with it. In the process of trademark registration, it is inevitable that several trademarks may bear similarities and are at risk of rejection by the Directorate General of Intellectual Property (DGIP). To address this issue, some strategies include the establishment of Trademark Coexistence Agreements or Letters of Consent (LOC). This research aims to explore the roles of Trademark Coexistence Agreements and LOCs in overcoming the challenges of registering trademarks that share similarities. The methodology employed is normative legal research, involving analysis of relevant legislation and secondary data from related literature. The findings indicate that both Trademark Coexistence Agreements and LOCs can assist trademark owners in reaching agreements regarding the use of similar trademarks. However, the application of these instruments in Indonesia has not been explicitly regulated. The conclusion of this study underscores the necessity for clearer legislative policies and support for the practice of utilizing Trademark Coexistence Agreements and LOCs to streamline the trademark registration process and promote innovation in the market.

Analisa Prosedur Tembakan Peringatan terhadap Keselamatan Petugas dan Publik
Authors: Rizal Muhammad Ichsan
Published: December 2024

This study aims to analyze the warning firing procedure in the context of law enforcement in Indonesia, especially its impact on the safety of officers and the public. Warning shots are a form of use of non-lethal force regulated in Perkap No. 1 of 2009. While the goal is to mitigate the threat, the procedure often presents risks, such as the psychological impact on the suspect and the potential danger of falling bullets. The research method used is a qualitative-descriptive approach, with literature review and case study analysis of several incidents in Indonesia, including the panic incident in Bekasi. The results showed that while warning shots are effective in some situations to stop threats, they can also trigger unexpected responses such as panic that threaten public safety. In addition, the implementation of this policy is highly dependent on the understanding and discretion of officers in the field. This study recommends the use of non-lethal tools such as Taser and the application of de-escalation methods to reduce the risk. Intensive training for officers is also needed to improve decision-making abilities in emergency situations. The findings of this study are expected to be the basis for perfecting the policy on the use of force by the National Police to improve the safety of officers and the public.

This paper analyses the literature on women and networking between1985 and 2021 to explore what is known about networking and itseffect on women, and what new research is needed on networking. Theauthors analysed a total of 78 articles published in women and genderstudies journals. Thematic analysis and three-tier coding have beenused in analysing available articles. Findings reveal that organisationalcultures did not change during the four decades of research as boys’clubs still exist and take men ahead much more than women’s networkstake women ahead. Old boys’ clubs remain persistent and more powerfulthan women’s networks and women do not report benefits fromnetworking even when they engage with this, often-seen, masculinepractice. Women also report exclusion from important professionalnetworks and this is a theme that consistently runs through research,and additionally, many women cannot join networks due to the socialexpectation that women will look after families.

Trans-Translation and Risk Management: The Nigerian Perspective
Authors: Zaki Muhammad Zayyanu , Nwanjoku Anthony Chunononye , Sani Atiku
Published: December 2024

This paper sets out to explore the various risks involved in translating, and how these risks can be overcome to achieve the ultimate goal of translation. There are risks involved in translating, and the concept of equivalence has often been a complex issue among translation experts and theorists due to the cultural dimension involved in languages. Communication is translation as it is a process of translating an idea or message from one language to another. The researchers noted that managing high risks pose various difficulties in translation. The researcher applied analytical theory and an interpretative approach to arrive at a meaningful and acceptable solution. The risk management in translation came into play as what equivalence represents. Risk management often involves in the planning, concerning strategic decision-making and execution of projects and programmes of the task. The authors observed that the translator tries to minimise risk by focusing on the most important factors that can be avoided possibly because each language sees things differently.

Authors:   Assistant Prof. PhD Nursing, Dean of Modern University College (MUC),Palestine, Bsharat Rebhi
Published: December 2024

Background: Pressure ulcers (PU) remain a serious complication of immobile patients and a burden for healthcare professionals. The incidence and
prevalence remain alarming. Knowledge and attitudes of nurses play a fundamental role in prevention. Aim of the study to assess knowledge and attitude
towards pressure ulcer prevention in Palestinian hospital.
Methodology: A quantitative cross-sectional study was conducted at fourth hospitals in Jenin and Nablus for one month from 1-4-2023 to 1-5-2023,
a sample size was 150 participant, who met inclusion and exclusion criteria, data was collected by three section, first section was nurse’s demographic
characteristics, second section was PressureUlcer Prevention Knowledge Assessment Instrument (PUPKAI), and third section was Attitude towards
Pressure Ulcer Prevention Instrument (APUP)
Result: The main result on our study shows that the level of nurse’s knowledge regarding PrUs preventive measures at Palestinian hospitals is low, and the
level of nurse’s attitude regarding PrUs preventive measures at Palestinian Hospitals is high, and there is no significant relationship between knowledge and
attitude regarding PrUs preventive measure among nurse’s at the Palestinian Hospitals.
Conclusion: Results showed insufficiencies in the knowledge and attitudes of nurses towards PU prevention. Therefore, it is essential to focus on general
education and continuing education and practice of nurses. Further development of educational programs and frequent measurement of these two parameters
can lead to a significant improvement in the quality of care provided

Published: December 2024

Background: Community health workers (CHWs) are believed to play pivotal role in enhancing rural health, including guidance, assistance to couples in
planning family. In India, Accredited Social Health Activists (ASHAs), special cadre of CHWs, program was introduced to bolster maternal child health,
though their roles got extended to broader health initiatives. However, ASHAs’ contribution to planning family does not seem to be to their full potential.
Need to harness this special cadre of CHWs to promote planned families in rural communities is evident.
Methodology: Community based study was conducted over two years in a remote hilly region, in 140 villages with health care facility, (Study Center) in
one of them.
Study sample comprised of 4500 women aged 20 to 49 Yrs. from diverse educational backgrounds, professions, economic status, and parity. Data was
collected through interviews using predesigned structured questionnaire.
Results: Study revealed varied perceptions of CHWs roles in planning family among rural tribal women. Most respondents said that CWHs need to motivate
health facility births and bring children to immunization clinics, 56%. However, their role in encouraging planning family was less acknowledged 12to 33%.
Sterilization was most widely recognized method of planned family, where CWHs were expected to be facilitators, upto 75% Age, education. economic status,
jobs, number of child births affected their perceptions and expectations. However most Women did expect CHWs to arrange family planning programs.
Conclusion: Present study underscores need for more robust awareness amongst communities about role of CHWs in promoting planned families in
rural tribal communities. Strengthening ASHAs involvement in comprehensive family planning awareness, bridging gap between healthcare systems and
communities, in planning families especially in remote regions is imperative.
Patterns of weed infestation of winter pea sowings in the Right Bank Forest Steppe of Ukraine
Authors: Kukuruza O. Ye. , Remeniuk S. O.
Published: December 2024

Purpose. To analyze the patterns of weed infestation of winter pea in the Right Bank Forest Steppe of Ukraine.
Methods. The research was conducted in 2020–2023 at the Salyvonky State Enterprise of the Institute of Bioenergy Crops and Sugar Beet of the National Academy of Agrarian Sciences of Ukraine (Bila Tserkva district, Kyiv region). The cultivation technology used in the experiment was convenient for the zone of insufficient moisture of the Right Bank Forest Steppe of Ukraine, with the exception of the studied elements.
Results. It was found that the largest family in terms of number of species was grasses (22.2%). At the same time, dicotyledonous species predominated quantitatively in crops, accounting to 77.8% of the total weed population of the agrophytocenosis. Among them, representatives of the buckwheat, cabbage and aster families had a significant distribution. The intensity of the weed sprouting in spring was different and largely depended on the conditions of the growing season. In particular, in 2023, as of April 30, 36.8 weeds/m2 was recorded, on May 10, 49.0 weeds/m2, and on May 20, 26.2 weeds/m2 was recorded. In 2021, the peak of sprouting occurred on May 10 and 20 amounting to 43.0 and 35.1 weeds/m2, respectively, and in 2022, a high intensity was observed starting from April 30 and ending on May 20, amounting to 41.4, 55.2, and 42.4 weeds/m2, respectively.
Conclusions. The research aimed at developing a weed control system based on highly effective control measures for both grasses, annual and perennial dicotyledonous species. After all, over the years of research, the appearance of weed sprouts varied significantly not only from weed infestation of the field, but also from the parameters of moisture and nutrition of a specific growing season. At the same time, the most common species were such as Thlaspi arvense (27.3 weeds/m2), Chenopodium album (20.8 weeds/m2), Elymus repens (13.7 weeds/m2), Setaria glauca and Setaria viridis (13.6 weeds/m2), Sonchus arvensis (12.5 weeds/m2), Amaranthus retroflexus (12.1 weeds/m2), and Sinapis arvensis (12.0 weeds/m2).
Unlocking Nature's Code: The Power of Pan-Genomics in Biological Entities
Authors: Reghu Rachana , Karunakaran Ramya Latha , Balaji Ranjani , Babu Achsha , Arumugaperumal Arun
Published: December 2024

Pan-genomics, a holistic approach to genomic analysis, has become a powerful tool with diverse applications in biomedical and environmental sciences. This offers a valuable understanding of genetic variation, adaptation, and evolution highlighting the presence of genes associated with specific traits like disease resistance and the ability to thrive in different environments. The integration of pan-genomics and metagenomics benefits in understanding the microbial diversity and functional characteristics of microbial communities. In crop improvement, pan-genomics accelerates genetic enhancement through tools like the Rice Pan-genome Genotyping Array, which leverages wild species for improved crop traits. Additionally, pan-genomics is crucial in vaccine development, with efforts focused on creating universal vaccines against Klebsiella and Streptococcus infections. In drug development, it supports identification of drug targets, proved by research previously focused on Clostridium botulinum and Yersinia pseudotuberculosis. Furthermore, pan-genomics contributes significantly to public health by revealing unique genomic features in pathogens like Escherichia coli and Mycobacterium tuberculosis, shedding light on virulence mechanisms and potential therapeutic targets. This exploration underscores the wide-ranging impact and relevance of pan-genomics across multiple scientific domains.
Influencia de medios de comunicación y redes sociales en el control político de la sociedad
Authors: Pardo-Prieto Edna Margarita
Published: December 2024

Los medios de comunicación han sido intérpretes de la realidad social y la fuente de información de la humanidad. En la última década han tenido una serie de cambios, como la digitalización, la generación de dispositivos electrónicos y las redes sociales, llegando a un mayor número de personas. Actualmente ocupan un lugar importante, logrando ejercer influencia sobre temas de interés social y, en algunos casos, permitiendo su dominio y manipulación. El objetivo de este estudio fue realizar un análisis reflexivo - descriptivo de la influencia que ejercen los medios de comunicación y las redes sociales sobre el control político de la sociedad en Colombia y el mundo. Se desarrolló una investigación cualitativa, utilizando el método documental a través de fuentes secundarias, publicadas de forma electrónica durante el periodo 2010 - 2024. Fue posible evidenciar que los medios de comunicación y las redes sociales tienen una marcada influencia en las decisiones electorales y ejercen su poder sobre candidatos y partidos políticos, algunas veces a través de noticias falsas. Por esta razón, es fundamental sensibilizar a la sociedad para evitar compartir información sobre política, candidatos y partidos, sin confirmar su origen y veracidad, ya que esto puede contribuir en la alteración de encuestas y resultados electorales, comprometiendo el futuro de una nación.

Ad hoc or commonplace?
Authors: Van Dam Michel , Kok Tijmen
Published: December 2024

An excavation in Aalsmeer in 2013 revealed the remains of a building with most remarkable foundations, namely blocks of peat. Such blocks, cut from dredged peat and then dried, were widely used as fuel in centuries past. Because peat is sometimes encountered inside buildings, especially in the form of insulation, the question arose as to whether peat was used by builders as an ad hoc, pragmatic solution using a readily available material, or whether it was a more widely used building material in the past. This research question led to a large-scale survey of the literature and archaeological and building history reports.Because peat blocks turn up only sporadically in the course of renovating or demolishing buildings, it is difficult to gauge how widespread its use was. The same applies to the more innovative instances of the use of compressed peat moss. In building archaeological reports and the literature, such discoveries are usually treated as unique occurrences and described anecdotally. However, the survey revealed that the use of peat as a building material is a historical structural phenomenon that, having been rendered obsolete by twentieth-century innovations, was subsequently consigned to oblivion. Mentions of such use in nine teenth-century architecture handbooks and in articles in professional journals from the same period, suggest that the use of peat was far from ad hoc. Interestingly, the use of peat for foundations was specific to certain regions. This was due on the one hand to the ready availability of the material, and on the other to the nature of its properties: its lightness, flexibility and waterproofness made it ideal for building on soft peaty soils.It can be tentatively concluded that this method of construction became popular in the Dutch peatlands from the second quarter of the sixteenth century. One explanation for this is the growing use of hand-held dredges in that period, which greatly increased both production and accessibility. The peat as a building material was used because it was readily available and lightweight, notwithstanding the major drawback of its flammability.This article is an initial attempt to learn more about the use of peat in construction. Systematic survey research is still lacking, so questions regarding the precise extent of below- and above-ground uses, regions, periodization and building types remain as yet unanswered.

Introduction

The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between the functional status of the extre­mities and “core” stabilization in women with fibromyalgia (FM).

Material and methods

Fifty-seven women with FM were included. The Widespread Pain Index (WPI), Visual Analogue Scale-Pain (VAS-Pain), Symptom Severity Scale (SSS), Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire (FIQ), McGill Static endurance tests (trunk flexors endurance, trunk extensors endurance, lateral bridge tests), Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand Questionnaire (DASH), grip strength, Lower Extremity Functional Scale (LEFS), chair-stand test, pressure pain threshold and 6-minute walk test (6MWT) were used in evaluation.

Results

The trunk flexors endurance test showed a weak correlation with 6MWT (r = 0.392), DASH (r = –0.347), LEFS (r = 0.328) and WPI (r = –0.289). The trunk extensors endurance test showed a weak correlation with grip strength-right (r = 0.285), DASH (r = –0.301) and LEFS (r = 0.321) and a moderate correlation with grip strength-left (r = 0.407), chair-stand test (r = 0.470) and 6MWT (r = 0.524). The right lateral bridge test showed a weak correlation with grip strength-right (r = 0.271), DASH (r = –0.379), LEFS (r = 0.254), WPI (r = –0.306), average of maximal values of pressure pain threshold (r = 0.316) and average of mean values of pressure pain threshold (r = 0.337); it showed a moderate correlation with grip strength-left (r = 0.418) and 6MWT (r = 0.414). The left lateral bridge test showed a weak correlation with grip strength-right (r = 0.279), chair-stand test (r = 0.276), 6MWT (r = 0.359), DASH (r = –0.294), average of maximal values of pressure pain threshold (r = 0.315) and average of mean values of pressure pain threshold (r = 0.370); it showed a moderate correlation with grip strength-left (r = 0.502) (p < 0.05).

Conclusions

Core muscle endurance is associated with upper and lower extremity functional level and pain parameters in women with FM.

Introduction

This study aimed to investigate the relationship between the pan-immune-inflammation value (PIV), systemic immune-inflammation index (SII), and systemic inflammation response index (SIRI) and disease activity in rheumatoid arthritis (RA), characterized by chronic inflammation and immune system involvement, and to provide new insights into the clinical implications of RA.

Material and methods

A total of 148 participants, including 97 RA patients (both newly diagnosed and established cases) and 51 healthy controls, were included in the study. Disease severity was assessed using the Disease Activity Score 28 (DAS28), and the relationship between DAS28 and PIV, SII, and SIRI, obtained from complete blood count results, was investigated. Additionally, C-reactive protein and erythrocyte sedimentation rate measurements were included in the study.

Results

The average age of RA patients was significantly higher than that of healthy individuals (p = 0.002). A positive correlation was found between the DAS28 score and the inflammation indices (SII, PIV, SIRI), with 65.98% of RA patients in the active phase and 34.02% in remission. Systemic immune-inflammation index had a predictive accuracy of 75.26%, PIV 71.13%, and SIRI 72.16%. The AUC (area under curve) values for SII, PIV, and SIRI were 0.717, 0.719, and 0.717, respectively, with cutoff values of 611.45, 323.88, and 1.18. Sensitivity and specificity were calculated as 57.81% and 60.61% for SII, 60.94% and 63.64% for PIV, and 59.38% and 63.64% for SIRI.

Conclusions

The findings revealed that PIV, SII, and SIRI were elevated in individuals with RA and may serve as complementary diagnostic markers. PIV, SII, and SIRI, as measures of disease activity in RA, may help monitor treatment efficacy and improve patient prognosis.

Published: December 2024

Hormonal contraceptives are commonly used by women of reproductive age and may be associated with an increased risk of thromboembolism. Any rise in the relative risk of venous thromboembolism related to specific contraceptive formulations could lead to a notably elevated absolute risk. This study seeks to evaluate the potential role of Factor V Leiden (FVL) and Prothrombin G20210A mutations as risk factors for thromboembolism in users of hormonal contraceptives in Benin City. The study population consisted of 50 non-contraceptive users, 50 non-hormonal contraceptive users, 50 progestin-only contraceptive users, and 50 combined oral contraceptive users recruited from Family Planning Clinics in Benin City. Each participant provided aseptically collected venous blood, with 5.0 mL collected in total. 0.5 mL was placed in a container containing 3.1% tri-sodium citrate anticoagulant for the manual determination of Prothrombin time (PT) and activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT). Additionally, 0.5 mL of venous blood was dispensed into a plain container with 0.25 mL DNA-RNA shield solution for the detection of Factor V Leiden and Prothrombin 20210A gene mutations using PCR Duplex Prothrombin 20210 and Factor V. Data analysis was conducted using the statistical package for social sciences (SPSS) version 17.0 software. The findings revealed that the overall mutation carriage rate (AA and AG) for the Prothrombin 20210A gene (5%) was more prevalent than FVL (3%) among the subjects. Furthermore, the mean PT and APTT (in seconds) were significantly lower (p<0.001) among women using combined hormonal contraceptives. These findings suggest a potential association between the presence of FVL and FII genes mutations and thromboembolism among Nigerian women using hormonal contraceptives.

The Umayyad Kingdom was founded in 41H/661 AD by Muawiyah bin Abu Sufyan and existed until 132H/750 AD. The original formation of the Umayyads occurred due to a dispute with Muawiyah (a governor from Syria). was in Damascus) when Ali bin Abu Talib became Caliph IV. previous caliphs in a different way. Abu Bakr ash-Siddiq was appointed caliph by general election. Umar bin Khaththab became caliph by being appointed directly by Abu Bakar asy-Siddiq before his death. Uthman bin Affan was appointed caliph by the Shura Council formed by Umar bin Khaththab. Meanwhile, Ali bin Abi Talib was proclaimed caliph by a section of the Muslim community with direct loyalty. After Ali's death, Hasan bin Ali's son took power. Several Muslims who supported Ali tried to stabilize the situation and conditions of Hasan's engagement as caliph. However, Mu'awiyah and his followers were not satisfied with the appointment of Hasan bin Ali and so they formed a force to wrest power from Hasan bin Ali. Mu'awiyah and his allies formed a force to stem the flow of Hasan bin Ali's followers, particularly the people of Kufa and Basra, who became his support base. In order to overcome the unrest and the political crisis, Hasan bin Ali apparently had no choice but to negotiate with Mu'awiyah to end the feud. The event of the transfer of power from Hasan bin Ali to Mu'awiyah, which took place in the city of Maskin, is called Ammul-Jama'ah (Year of Peace).

Published: December 2024

Modern education faces a central tension between traditional pedagogical practices and the adoption of digital technologies, resulting in a Manichean dichotomy that often polarizes educational debate. This study critically analyzes the impacts of this polarization on teaching practice, emphasizing the challenges and opportunities resulting from the integration between technological innovation and traditional pedagogical methods. Research addresses the influence of dualistic thinking on contemporary education, exploring how resistance to innovation or the uncritical adoption of technology can compromise educational balance. The concept of teaching proletarianization is highlighted as a significant consequence of this tension, reflecting on the precariousness of work, the loss of autonomy and the emotional wear of teachers. The central proposal is to overcome Manichaeism through hybrid models that combine the humanistic values ​​of tradition with the transformative possibilities of technology. Based on a theoretical and empirical analysis, the study suggests integrative strategies for the formation of teachers and more inclusive pedagogical practices, reflective and adapted to contemporary demands. Research concludes that the balance between tradition and innovation is essential to promote critical, humanizing education and prepared for the challenges of the 21st century.
