The focus of this research is on the Global Civilization Initiative, the Global Development Initiative and the Global Security Initiative of General Secretary XI Jinping as China's unique and strategic response to the global society challenges and the vision of future progress. Economic growth is the foundation of security and civilization, while further work will show the importance of the vision of Chinese communists who, in the era of deep changes and crises, see a solution in the fact that the progress of other countries leads to the establishment of the world of wellbeing and safety. The three initiatives are inherently connected and mutually strengthening, which points to the road of progress of human society from three different perspectives -growth, security and civilization. China will work hard on their implementation in order to help the international community to achieve the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and inject strong impetus into global economic growth because it is the pathway towards world peace and cooperation.
Creating a new era for global civilization development by deepening exchanges and mutual learning
Authors: Yuan Li
Published: May 2024

The international landscape has undergone deep changes in the past years, whereas the noise in the public opinion gives rise to the notions such as superiority, collision of civilizations, conflict of cultures etc. However, in the East of the world, China in the new era explores ways of interaction between nations and civilizations with its unique cultural spirit enriched by the concept of Chinese modernization and XI Jinping's vision of the necessity of cooper-ation expansion among diverse civilizations. Committed to exchanges and integration of different civilizations and focusing on the high-quality Belt and Road cooperation, China vigorously advances the connectivity of people while at the same time building cooperation networks in, among other things, education, health, sports and tourism. China's proposal for globalization in the post-pandemic era refrains from drawing ideological lines, not targeting a third party, nor striving for the formation of an exclusive bloc. Instead, China advocates respect of diversity and differences and works on building a community with the common future for whole humanity.

A comprehensive model for predicting populist attitudes
Authors: Piterová Ivana , Loziak Alexander
Published: May 2024

Populist attitudes are multi-causal, but their determinants are often studied separately, in small groups, or in different samples. This study presents a comprehensive model for the prediction of populist attitudes using a single sample. We use an ideological approach and measure of populist attitudes as anti-elitism, popular sovereignty, and homogeneity, while the differences between the elite and the people are Manichean. Analyzing a sample based on a representative quota for gender, age, education and region of Slovakia (N = 254), it was found that relative deprivation, belief in simple solutions, external political efficacy, trust towards experts, and conspiracy mentality were significant predictors of populist attitudes after controlling for other variables. The effect of education and subjective income faded out after adding variables into the model. The model explained 54% of the variance in populist attitudes. The results are discussed in detail with respect to its limitations and country specifics.

Benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH) is a medical condition in elderly men in which there is proliferation and enlargement of the prostate gland. This study evaluated the levels of male reproductive hormones among subjects with BPH. The study involved 150 subjects aged 40 years and above, comprising 80 BPH subjects attending the urology clinic and 70 control subjects. Five millilitres (5ml) of venous blood were collected from each subject into plain bottles for the determination of prostate-specific antigen (PSA), testosterone, prolactin, and estradiol, using the ELISA technique. The mean values of PSA (16.68±10.96 ng/ml), estradiol (71.03±18.56 pg/ml) and for the BPH subjects and prolactin (9.38±4.51 ng/ml) were significantly higher compared to the mean values of PSA (0.48±0.25ng/ml), estradiol (51.33±7.13npg/ml) and prolactin (6.92±1.93ng/ml) of the control subjects. However, the mean testosterone value of the BPH subjects (5.02±1.93 ng/ml) was significantly lower than the mean value for the control (6.57±3.48ng/ml). The BPH who used to consume alcohol had higher PSA (24.26±8.33ng/ml) and testosterone (7.68±3.41ng/ml) compared to the PSA (16.34±3.22ng/ml) and testosterone (4.95±3.62ng/ml) of those who never consumed alcohol. The BPH had significantly altered hormone parameters as well as raised PSA levels. Including hormonal parameters in diagnosing and managing BPH could be an important consideration in our population.

Published: May 2024

Sustainable cooling technologies with high efficiency are increasingly vital in modern life. Characterized by eco-friendly working substances and no mechanical moving components, the heat-driven thermoacoustic refrigerator (HDTR) makes it a really sustainable choice. However, its practical application has been hindered by its relatively low efficiency. This work reports a breakthrough in thermally-powered sound cooling technology: a super-efficient HDTR. The system incorporates an innovative configuration, ensuring efficient acoustic power matching between the engine and cooler units at high heating temperatures, thereby significantly boosting efficiency. Our experimental findings are exhilarating: the HDTR achieves an unprecedented coefficient of performance (COP) of 1.34 at heating, ambient, and cooling temperatures of 550 ��C, 35 ��C, and 7 ��C, respectively, along with a cooling power of 2.37 kW. To the best of our knowledge, under approximate temperature spans, this COP surprisingly increases by 240% compared to the best result previously reported for HDTRs without using the novel configuration. These results represent a significant advancement in HDTR technology, showing a tremendous potential of the HDTR as an emerging, sustainable cooling technology, particularly for heat-driven room-temperature refrigeration applications.

This study analyzes the social construction of Islamic values in three religious traditions in Ngadas traditional tourism village, East Java, Indonesia. Previous research in this field has focused on developing indigenous tourism villages based on religious moderation. However, there has been no deeper research related to the social construction of Islamic values in Muslim communities amid the existence of various traditional rituals that are preserved. The purpose of this study is to find the classification of Muslim communities in Ngadas traditional tourism village in interpreting and responding to the existence of local customs rituals amid their beliefs in carrying out Islamic law. Qualitative research methods are used by in-depth interviews and observations on each religious practice and traditional ritual. The results found that various traditional rituals could not be separated from the commitment of the Tengger tribe community originating from three religions, namely Hinduism, Buddhism and Islam. In addition, this study reveals that there has been a classification of Muslim types of society into three parts, namely: a) Normative-theological-conservative; b) Sociological-pragmatic-calculative; c) Sociological-empirical-intuitive. This study recommends further research that considers the development of the muslim Tengger tribe community spread across several other regions more broadly both in terms of practice and understanding.

Published: May 2024

This research aims to analyze the understanding of interfaith leaders in Toraja in understanding interfaith marriages because interfaith marriages have become a social fact full of polemics. Some parties agree; on the other hand, some parties are against it. Based on reading through power relations theory and qualitative data analysis. This research found that several religious figures in Toraja, including Catholics, the Toraja Church, and Aluk Todolo, accepted interfaith marriages. This fact is accepted because interfaith marriages have become a sociological reality, so religions must think about this in order to adapt to the sociological conditions of society. The following finding is that groups also reject it: Buddhism, Islam, and the Kibaid Church. For them, interfaith marriages are not permitted in their religion. In Islam, Marriage is not just a human will but based on religious commands. This practice contradicts Law on Marriage Number 1 of 1974, article 2, paragraph 1. Interfaith marriages also have an impact; the negative impact complicates the religious status of the child, and the positive impact is that it makes people's minds open and their social circle very wide.

The increasing volume of domestic solid waste needs a sustainable solution to avoid complex environmental issues. The 3R practice of reuse, reduce, and recycle is said to be one of the efforts taken to educate the community on how to manage residential solid waste. A practice that wants to be cultured in the community must begin as early as childhood. As the saying goes, strike while the iron is hot. The application of environmental care practices to the younger generation can be implemented in the form of entertainment by inserting animation which attracts children’s attention. This study analyses solid waste management with the 3R method featured in Boboiboy animation. There are three episodes of Boboiboy’s animation of “Jagalah Bumi” used as the main study text (episodes 21, 22, and 23). Based on this analysis, it was found that this animation have successfully highlighted the 3R concept in three episodes of "Jagalah Bumi" including showing how the does solid waste management process is carried out at the landfill. The explanation of this method was successfully presented clearly and easily understood by the audience. This is able to influence and leave an impression on the audience indirectly.

Published: May 2024

Background: Male infertility encompasses various etiologies, with Congenital Hypogonadotropic Hypogonadism (CHH) standing out as a significant factor. CHH arises from multiple systems, including genetic abnormalities and hormonal imbalances that impair reproductive capabilities.
Objective: This review aims to dissect the biochemical underpinnings of CHH and evaluate its impact on male infertility, highlighting the complexities in its diagnosis and therapeutic management.
Methods: The analysis involved a review of current literature on the genetic causes and hormonal disruptions associated with CHH. Diagnostic criteria were assessed based on biochemical markers and clinical symptoms. Treatment efficacy was evaluated through outcomes of hormone replacement therapy, surgical interventions, and assisted reproductive technologies.
Results: The majority of CHH patients treated with hormone replacement therapy demonstrated improved sexual maturation and fertility, with approximately 70% achieving spermatogenesis. Surgical interventions corrected anatomical defects in 90% of cases, while assisted reproductive technologies resulted in successful pregnancies in 60% of treated individuals.
Conclusion: CHH significantly affects male reproductive health, influencing testicular development and endocrine function. Advances in diagnostic and treatment strategies have enhanced management outcomes, but ongoing research is essential for developing more targeted therapies.

Background: The carrying angle (CA) of the elbow is a critical biomechanical feature that varies between genders and with physical characteristics like Body Mass Index (BMI). Past studies have shown mixed results regarding the influence of BMI on CA, making it an area ripe for further investigation.
Objective: To explore the correlation between BMI and the CA of the elbow among adult females in Hyderabad, Pakistan, and to assess how variations in BMI affect the elbow's CA.
Methods: This cross-sectional study involved 385 adult females from Hyderabad, Pakistan, selected through non-probability convenient sampling. Participants were required to be over 18 years of age and without any prior upper limb surgeries. The CA was measured using a manual goniometer while standing in the anatomical position. BMI was calculated using measured weight and height. Statistical analysis was conducted using SPSS version 25, with the Pearson correlation test determining the relationship between BMI and CA.
Results: Among the participants, 71.9% exhibited a normal CA, 23.6% displayed a decreased CA, and 4.4% had an increased CA. The Pearson correlation test showed a significant positive correlation between BMI and CA (p-value = 0.006), indicating that higher BMI is associated with an increased CA.
Conclusion: The study found a significant association between BMI and CA among females in Hyderabad, Pakistan. This suggests that BMI is a relevant factor in the biomechanical characteristics of the elbow, which may have implications for the clinical assessment of joint function and health.

Published: May 2024

Background: Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is a critical surgical intervention for patients with severe hip dysfunction primarily due to conditions such as osteoarthritis, trauma, and other degenerative diseases. The choice of surgical approach can significantly influence the outcomes of the procedure, including postoperative recovery, pain management, and functional mobility.
Objective: This study aims to evaluate the clinical and functional outcomes of the lateral approach in total hip replacement, comparing its efficacy and safety with other surgical techniques.
Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted at a single medical teaching institution, involving 74 patients who underwent total hip replacement using the lateral approach between January 2022 and December 2023. Data were collected on patient demographics, surgical details, and postoperative outcomes. Key measures included the Harris Hip Score (HHS), rates of postoperative pain, limb length discrepancy (LLD), and complications such as dislocation and infection. Statistical analysis was performed using IBM SPSS Statistics for Windows, version 25, with a significance threshold set at P < 0.05.
Results: The study population had an equal distribution of male and female patients, with an average age of 57.20 years (SD ± 14.68). Trauma was the most common indication for surgery (67.6%), followed by osteoarthritis (18.9%) and avascular necrosis (9.5%). Postoperative evaluation showed that 62.26% of patients achieved an 'excellent' HHS at two weeks, while 28.38% were rated as 'good'. The overall complication rate was low, with dislocation occurring in 4.1% of cases. Pain was reported in 12.2% of patients post-surgery.
Conclusion: The lateral approach for total hip arthroplasty provides effective pain relief and functional recovery with a low complication rate. This study supports the continued use of the lateral approach as a viable option for hip replacement surgery, showing comparable or superior outcomes to other surgical approaches.

Background: The modulation of serum calcium levels through diet is a critical aspect of managing osteoporosis, particularly in postmenopausal women. Spinach, known for its high calcium content, offers potential benefits for bone health due to its rich nutrient profile. This study aimed to develop a spinach sauce, evaluate its consumer acceptability, and investigate its impact on serum calcium levels in osteoporotic females.
Objective: To develop a nutritionally rich spinach sauce, assess its sensory acceptability, and evaluate its effectiveness in modulating serum calcium levels among osteoporotic females.
Methods: The spinach sauce was formulated using various recipes to maximize calcium bioavailability. The preparation process involved controlled cooking techniques to preserve nutrients, followed by proximate composition analysis. A sensory evaluation was conducted with osteoporotic females and a control group using standard hedonic scales. Participants were instructed to incorporate the spinach sauce into their daily diet for a specified period. Serum calcium levels were measured before and after the intervention. Statistical analysis was conducted using SPSS version 25, controlling for covariates such as age, baseline dietary habits, and baseline serum calcium levels. Ethical approval was obtained, and informed consent was provided by all participants.
Results: Treatment T2, containing 40% spinach and 60% mint, scored highest in sensory evaluation with color (8.94 ± 0.26), flavor (8.92 ± 0.30), taste (8.98 ± 0.27), texture (8.22 ± 0.29), and overall acceptability (8.94 ± 0.31). The proximate composition of the spinach sauce showed moisture (79.84%), crude protein (6.27%), crude fat (1.91%), fiber (0.57%), ash (4.21%), and nitrogen-free extract (10.27%). Serum calcium levels increased significantly in the spinach sauce group from 0.84 ± 0.01 to 1.03 ± 0.04, and in the combined spinach sauce and calcium supplement group from 0.69 ± 0.01 to 0.91 ± 0.07. ANOVA revealed significant effects of treatments (F = 1.99, p ≤ 0.01) and days (F = 41.96, p ≤ 0.01) on bone mineral density.
Conclusion: The developed spinach sauce was nutritionally rich and well-received, particularly in treatment T2. It demonstrated potential in improving serum calcium levels among osteoporotic females, suggesting that dietary interventions with spinach could be a viable strategy for managing osteoporosis. Further research with larger sample sizes and longer durations is recommended to substantiate these findings.

Background: Flatfoot is characterized by a reduced medial longitudinal arch height and can be flexible or fixed, congenital, or acquired. It can influence physical activity and mood in children, and its prevalence varies widely among different populations.
Objective: To determine the prevalence of flatfoot among school-going children aged 7-15 years in Lahore, Pakistan, and to assess its distribution across different age groups and genders.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted over six months at Dar-e-Arqam School, Westwood campus, Lahore. The sample size of 106 was calculated using the formula { n = Z^2 P(1-P) / d^2 } with a 16% expected prevalence, 7% precision, and Z value of 1.96. Non-probability sampling was used. Inclusion criteria were children aged 7-15 years of both genders, excluding those with fractures, congenital deformities, or a history of ankle sprain. Footprints were obtained using ink-impregnated pads, and the Chippaux-Smirak index (CSI) was used to diagnose and grade flatfoot. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 25, with descriptive statistics presented as frequencies and percentages.
Results: The prevalence of flatfoot among the children was 40.6%, with 4 cases of unilateral flatfoot (3.8%) and 39 cases of bilateral flatfoot (36.7%). Normal arches were found in 62 children (58.5%), and 1 child (0.9%) had a high arch. Among those with flatfoot, 17 had grade 1 flatfoot (16.0%), 12 had grade 2 flatfoot (11.3%), and 14 had grade 3 flatfoot (13.2%). The highest prevalence of flatfoot was observed in the 7-9 years age group (23 cases), while the 13-15 years group had the highest number of normal arches (29 cases). There was no significant difference in the prevalence of flatfoot between genders.
Conclusion: Flatfoot is relatively common among children in Lahore, with a prevalence of 40.6%. The condition's prevalence decreases with age, and no significant gender differences were observed. Further research should include a larger sample size, random sampling, and assessment of symptomatic aspects to enhance understanding.
