Objective: To compare the effectiveness of azithromycin to ciprofloxacin in the management of uncomplicated enteric fever in children between 6-12 years of age in the paediatrics department of Pakistan Atomic Energy Commission (PAEC) General Hospital.
Methods:  It was a randomized control trial study, conducted at the Department of Pediatrics, PAEC General Hospital, Islamabad from 30-01-21 to 30-07-22. Data from 196 children with signs and symptoms of uncomplicated enteric fever was collected after obtaining verbal consent from their parents. Demographic information of the patients along with a short medical history were noted in pre-designed forms.
Results: Mean age, treatment time, body weight and defervescence time in the azithromycin group were 9.21±2.24 years, 5.87±1.78 days, 28.3±4.54 kg and 49.8±10.21 hours, respectively. Similarly, age, treatment duration, body weight and defervescence time in the ciprofloxacin group were 9.48±2.41 years, 6.41±1.14 days, 26.9±4.89 kg and 53.7±12.25 hours, respectively. The observed efficacy was 92 (93.9%) and 74 (75.5%) in the azithromycin and ciprofloxacin groups, respectively.
Conclusion: Azithromycin is an efficient outdoor patient treatment choice for children with uncomplicated typhoid fever and needs to be widely utilized in high-risk fluoroquinolone-resistant countries.

Objective: To evaluate the effect of preoperative vaginal antiseptic cleansing with Povidone-iodine on the occurrence of post-caesarean section infectious morbidity.
Methodology: A single-blind randomized controlled study of 180 women who had preoperative vaginal preparation with povidone-iodine before emergency CS at the University of Ilorin teaching hospital during the study period, The primary outcome measures were fever, endometritis and wound infection. Analysis was done using Chi-square tests, t-tests and logistic regression.
Results: The study result shows that the prevalence of post-caesarean section infection morbidity was 26.5%. There was a statistically significant difference in educational level attained and social class (p<0.001) between both groups. The incidence of post-caesarean infection was significantly lower among the subjects compared to the controls (16.3% vs.36.6%,p-0.003). Using univariate and multivariate binary logistic regression, PVP-I use and chorioamnionitis remain significant independent predictors of infectious morbidity. PVP-I is associated with lesser odds (OR; 0.307) while those with chorioamnionitis are eight times more likely to have a postoperative infection (p-0.006).
Conclusion: The incidence of post-caesarean fever and endometritis was significantly reduced in those scrubbed with both abdominal and vaginal Povidone-iodine compared to those who had standard abdominal scrub alone for emergency caesarean section. Vaginal cleaning with Povidone-iodine is safe.

People are starting to recognize that using green products daily is a crucial step in solving the global environmental crisis. The concept behind green marketing is to develop green brands and green products. This study investigates the influence of green brand image on green brand equity. In addition, it is also to examine the impact of green brand image on green brand equity mediated by green trust, green satisfaction, and green perceived value. It is a quantitative study. A self-administered survey was used to collect data. The sampling method uses non-probability sampling techniques. The sampling technique used is purposive sampling with 196 respondents. In this study, the Partial Least Square (PLS) data analysis technique was used. The outer model analysis was measured using validity tests, and the structural model is an analytical step to test a hypothesis. The results of this study show that Green Brand Image directly affects Green Brand Equity. Green Brand Image affects Green Brand Equity by partially mediating Green Trust, Green Satisfaction, and Green Perceived Value.
The Fate of Oceans on First-generation Planets Orbiting White Dwarfs
Authors: Becker Juliette , Vanderburg Andrew , Livesey Joseph R.
Published: January 2025

Several groups have recently suggested that small planets orbiting very closely around white dwarf stars could be promising locations for life to arise, even after stellar death. There are still many uncertainties, however, regarding the existence and habitability of these worlds. Here we consider the retention of water during post-main-sequence evolution of a Sun-like star and during the subsequent migration of planets to the white dwarf's habitable zone. This inward migration is driven by dynamical mechanisms such as planet–planet interactions in packed systems, which can excite planets to high eccentricities, setting the initial conditions for tidal migration into short-period orbits. In order for water to persist on the surfaces of planets orbiting white dwarfs, the water must first survive the asymptotic giant branch phase of stellar evolution, then avoid being lost as a result of photoevaporation due to X-ray and extreme-ultraviolet radiation from the newly formed white dwarf, and finally survive the tidal migration of the planet inward to the habitable zone. We find that while this journey will likely desiccate large swaths of post-main-sequence planetary systems, planets with substantial reservoirs of water may retain some surface water, especially if their migration occurs at later white dwarf cooling ages. Therefore, although stellar evolution may pose a challenge for the retention of water on exoplanet surfaces, it is possible for planets to retain surface oceans even as their host stars die and their orbits evolve.
On the creation of a communist poetic tradition through the review Officina
Authors: Mozzachiodi Luca
Published: January 2025

This article examines the cultural and literary review Officina to show how, between 1955 and 1959, the editors (Roberto Roversi, Pier Paolo Pasolini, Francesco Leonetti, Gianni Scalia, Angelo Roman?? and later Franco Fortini) worked to construct a non-party communist poetic
tradition. These authors used Antonio Gramsci’s recently published-Prison Notebooks in order to re-read the Italian literary tradition (from Giacomo Leopardi to Giuseppe Ungaretti), through re-considering the relationship between intellectuals and society and between poetry and
politics. The article uses the activities of the Officina group to analyse the cultural dominance of the notionally apolitical models then in force: in particular, Crocean idealism, novecentismo and Hermetic poetry. Through a direct reading of the editors’ articles and
their correspondence, the fundamental traits of this new poetic tradition that Pasolini defines as ‘Neo-experimentalism’ are outlined. Analysis of the magazine’s development is intertwined with discussion of the events of 1956 and the effects in Italy of the Twentieth Congress
of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union. The article argues that the shift in the cultural-political debate in 1956 marked a turning point in Officina’s work. From here on it became more involved in intellectual protests, but failed to reach a larger audience and to join forces
with parties or with the masses.
Politicisation, de-politicisation, re-politicisation: French poetry after May 1968
Authors: Farizier Mathieu
Published: January 2025

This article grapples with the changing relationships between politics and aesthetics in post‐1968 French poetic production. With reference to some of the salient socio-economic shifts that have occurred since the 1970s ‐ from the neoliberal disciplining of the working
classes initiated in the late 1970s and the ideological and critical ‘paralysis’ that followed, to the proto-fascist mutations of capital in the current period ‐ it distinguishes three moments. First, it focuses on the TXT review as an example of the way in which ‘poetry’
and ‘politics’ could be articulated by ‘neo-avant-gardist’ poets, in the period that ended at the same time as the Keynesian compromise settlement, in the mid-1970s ‐ a time when Marxist politics were widespread. By the 1980s, however, following the neoliberal
onslaught and the acute de-politicisation to which it contributed, the avant-gardist pledge to ‘change life’ by acting on its forms had become inconceivable, as exemplified in Prigent’s trajectory (the second moment considered here). Lastly, in the context of the resurgence
of visible forms of social struggle since the 1990s ‐ and in contrast to the then-dominant neo-lyrical poetics ‐ a new generation of poets is discussed, a generation which offered interesting if inconsistent ways of tackling the prospect of political action, both within literature
and outside of it.
Émile Verhaeren and the question of Bolshevik poetry
Authors: Lee-Six Edward
Published: January 2025

Émile Verhaeren, though largely forgotten today, was famous during his life-time and in the decades immediately after his death, his celebrity stretching from London to Moscow. This article argues that the reasons for this celebrity were nevertheless profoundly different in East
and West: in England, France and Belgium, Verhaeren owed his fame largely ‐ though not exclusively ‐ to his reputation as a Belgian patriot against the background of WWI, and as the spokesman for Flemish cultural identity. In Russia, by contrast, after both the 1905 Revolution
and the 1917 Revolution, Verhaeren was read as a prophet of proletarian-led social change. This reading was determined both by its political context and its theoretical context: that is, the debates on socialist realism in the young USSR. How could socialist realism ‐ a theory developed
around the novel ‐ provide a relevant analytical framework when it came to poetry? Verhaeren???s verse seemed to offer an answer to this question. Furthermore, not despite, but thanks to, this strong contextual determination, Soviet critics picked up on something in Verhaeren’s
poetry that most Western readers missed.
‘Will we be Coca-colonised?’: Louis Aragon’s national poetry at the cold-war cultural front
Authors: Fuller Jeff M.
Published: January 2025

This article recounts the French communist poet Louis Aragon’s appeals, over a number of years, for a return to traditional French poetic forms, most notably the sonnet in alexandrines, with a view to finding literary forms that express nationalistic sentiment. His project was
motivated above all by a communist focus on resisting foreign domination, in the first instance the direct domination of France by Germany during the Second World War, and, in the second, a more insidious projection of American power in the early years of the Cold War. Relying primarily on
a selection of Aragon’s texts from the 1930s to the 1950s, the vast majority of which remain unavailable in English, I try to show that this ‘second instance’, that is, the effort to promote the sonnet as a weapon against Atlanticist assimilationism, was an unsuccessful attempt
to enact a repetition of the triumphs of the French Resistance’s literary intellectuals, but in far less propitious conditions, largely because of the increasing isolation, even outright pariah status of communists in French political life.

Tourism or sustainable tourism in the Global South? Perspectives from Guinea-Bissau
Authors: Martins Andreia , Oliveira Moreira Claudete
Published: January 2025

Tourism in the Global South is a vital economic activity that promotes development, but many countries, like Guinea-Bissau, face significant challenges due to political, economic, social, and environmental fragility. This study aims to analyse stakeholders’ perception and expectations of tourism's potential to catalyze sustainable development, identify reasons why Least Developed Countries (LDC) may fail to achieve it, and present both positive and negative impacts of tourism. The study involved 21 semi-structured interviews, and the Quintuple Helix Model to analyze stakeholders' perspectives. The results indicated that: tourism stakeholders in Guinea-Bissau agree that while tourism can provide jobs, attract investment, and improve infrastructure, local populations also face challenges in appropriating these benefits due to limited development, political instability, and unfavourable governance. To achieve sustainability, responsible tourism must be promoted among stakeholders, influencing investment and travel patterns. Addressing these issues can help optimize their contribution to development and promote responsible tourism.

Published: January 2025

Indoxacarb is a broad-spectrum non-organophosphorus oxadiazine insecticide used commonly against lepidopterans (moths), Cicadellidae (leaf hopper), etc. Though relatively non-toxic in non-target organisms, poisoning in humans is reported, although rare. It can cause delirium, gastrointestinal disturbances, acute kidney injury, pancreatitis, pneumonia, cardiac arrest, etc. Here, we present a case of young woman with consumption of Indoxacarb with an intention of self-harm and presented with respiratory distress. Her arterial blood gases showed low SpO2 and high oxygen (paO2) concentration, hinting at methemoglobinemia, a documented consequence of Indoxacarb poisoning, which was later confirmed by laboratory. The patient complained of green-colored urine, possibly a consequence of Indoxacarb. This clinical pearl can help in diagnosis and management of patients of unknown poisoning. The patient was treated with methylene blue, Vitamin C, and supportive treatment. The patient was also advised psychiatric review in view of possible marital discord.
Exploring Emerging and Innovative Biomarkers for the Assessment and Monitoring of Cardiovascular Disease Risk and Treatment Efficacy in Patients
Authors: Elsaka Omar
Published: January 2025

The current research examines the creation of biomarkers for measuring cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk and tracking therapy effectiveness. While current biomarkers like cholesterol levels and troponins are useful, developing and innovating new biomarkers gives fresh insights into CVD etiology and drug response. The limits of known biomarkers are discussed, leading to the quest for new signs that might enhance risk categorization and therapy monitoring. Advancements in multiomics technologies, such as genomics, proteomics, metabolomics, and transcriptomics, have been utilized to uncover possible biomarkers, offering a complete perspective of molecular pathways implicated in CVD. Artificial intelligence and machine learning play a vital role in biomarker development and validation, allowing the investigation of massive omics datasets and detecting patterns and links that may not be obvious using conventional approaches. The clinical translation of new biomarkers needs comprehensive validation and evaluation of their efficacy in improving patient outcomes. Incorporating these indicators into clinical practice might boost risk prediction, modify treatment regimens, and improve overall CVD care.

Published: January 2025

The prevalence of class imbalance is a common challenge in medical datasets, which can adversely affect the performance of machine learning models. This paper explores how several data imbalance mitigation techniques affect the performance of cardiovascular disease prediction. This study applied various data balancing techniques on a real-life cardiovascular disease (CVD) dataset of 1000 patient records with 14 features obtained from the University of Abuja Teaching Hospital Nigeria to address this problem. The data balancing techniques used include random under-sampling, Synthetic Minority Over-sampling Technique (SMOTE), Synthetic Minority Oversampling-Edited Nearest Neighbour (SMOTE-ENN), and the combination of SMOTE and Tomek Links undersampling (SMOTE-TOMEK). After applying these techniques, their performance was evaluated on seven machine learning models, including Random Forest, XGBoost, LightGBM, Gradient Boosting, K-Nearest Neighbours, Decision Tree, and Support Vector Machine. The evaluation metrics used are precision, recall, F1-score, accuracy, and receiver operating characteristic-area under the curve (ROC-AUC). Learning curve plots were also used to showcase the impact of the different data balancing techniques on the challenges of overfitting and underfitting. The results showed that the application of data balancing techniques significantly enhances the performance of machine learning models in heart disease prediction and effectively addresses the challenges of overfitting and underfitting with SMOTE-TOMEK, yielding the best-balanced fit as well as the highest precision, recall, F1-score, accuracy of 92%, and ROC-AUC of 96% on the Lightweight Gradient Boosting Machine (LightGBM) model. These results underscore the critical role of data balancing in predictive modelling for heart disease and highlight the effectiveness of specific techniques and models in achieving accurate, more reliable, and generalised predictions.

Published: January 2025

Metal Matrix Composites (MMCs) are advanced materials gaining significant attention due to their versatile applications across aerospace, automotive, nuclear, biotechnology, electronics, and sports equipment industries. These materials are emerging as strong contenders for use as structural components in high-temperature environments.
This study analyzed the mechanical properties of aluminum-based MMCs reinforced with Silicon Carbide (SiC) particles. The composites were fabricated using the stir casting technique, with reinforcement levels ranging from 0% to 10% in increments of 2%. The primary goal of this research was to produce particulate-reinforced MMCs and evaluate their Hardness, impact strength, compressive strength, and tensile strength.
The results showed that Hardness improved progressively as the SiC content increased from 0% to 10%. Similarly, compressive and tensile strengths also exhibited an upward trend with increasing reinforcement. However, impact strength demonstrated a decreasing pattern as the SiC content increased. Among the tested composites, the 10% SiC-reinforced composite exhibited superior performance in terms of overall mechanical properties. Microstructural analysis revealed an even dispersal of reinforcement, particularly in the composite with 8% SiC content.

had three replicates, with the following amounts of powdered garlic: 0.0%, 1.5%, 3.0%, 4.5%, and 6.0%. For
the evaluation, 150 fingerlings with an average weight of 12.69 ± 0.56 g were used, distributed in a completely
randomized design. The fish were housed in 0.5 m³ net-tanks (10 fish per experimental unit) installed in a
geomembrane tank with a total volume of 50 m³, with constant circulation and filtration. The fish were fed
four times a day for 34 days. The following parameters were evaluated: final weight (FW), final length (FL),
weight gain (WG), feed conversion ratio (FCR), specific growth rate (SGR), protein efficiency ratio (PER),
hepatosomatic index (HSI), visceral fat (VF), intestinal quotient (IQ), bromatological composition of the
animals, length, width, and area of intestinal villi, and histomorphometry of hepatocytes. Garlic in the diet of
patinga, at the tested doses, did not promote any significant changes in the evaluated parameters (P>0.05).

AMBER ALERT SISTEM U SRBIJI – IZAZOVI U PRAKSI
Authors:   University of Kragujevac, Faculty of Law, Serbia, Milojević Marija
Published: January 2025

In her work, the author investigates the problems that arise in the
implementation of the "Amber alert" mechanism for urgent public notification of the
disappearance of a minor. In this regard, it primarily presents the criteria used by the
police in operational work, which, if they appear in practice, lead to the activation of
the mechanism for urgent public notification of the disappearance of a minor. Next,
the author emphasizes the extremely important influence of the media on public opinion and law enforcement authorities, criticizing the kind of pressure that the
media creates on this occasion and which most often has negative results (violation of
the rights of victims of criminal acts, violation of the rights of suspects), even though
the purpose of involving the media is exactly the opposite - providing assistance in
finding a minor. Further considerations explore the conflict that may arise when
activating the mechanism in question between two interests: the "public interest"
which is reflected in the finding of a minor regardless of a cost, and the interest of
"conducting criminal proceedings" which implies respect for the principles of
"secrecy" of the investigation, the presumption of innocence and the protection of
injured persons which must be respected if the measures taken and the actions of the
police show that the disappearance of a minor is a consequence of the commission of
a criminal act. The first two challenges are viewed in relation to the valid public
order and legislation of our country, while further on in the paper, the problems in
the implementation of Amber Alert are given in a general nature and can be
encountered by the law enforcement authorities of any country. In addition to the
above, challenges of a psychological nature that can occur on the part of the recipient
of a notification about the disappearance of a minor, in the form of memory
problems, causing panic and fear among them, etc., have been identified. The
activation of the Amber alert mechanism is accompanied by certain problems such
as: possible oversaturation of the system, technical problems in implementation, re-
examination of the degree of spread of notifications, i.e. the need to issue notifications
at the national level, the expansion of the circle of persons in connection with whose
disappearance the mechanism will be activated- the so-called Silver Alert. When
processing each of the challenges, the author gives her opinion on how to overcome
them while being aware of the complexity of the problem and the fact that the
mechanism has only recently come to life in our country and that more time and more
empirical data are needed for a more complete analysis.

Time is one of the main categories that people use to understand the events and phenomena around them. It is a dimension of consciousness, the way by which we give order to our experience. Of all the great abstractions of science, it is the omnipresent time that comes most often to human lips. The studies on time and culture have identified a number of important temporal dimensions that vary across cultures, including time as a silent language: past, present and future orientation, event time and clock time. According to E. Hall, time is part of a "silent language" that gives meaning to people and their behaviors, but the "informal patterning of time is one of the most consistently overlooked aspects of culture"). This paradox holds important implications around our understanding of cross-cultural differences. Understanding how time is divided, scheduled, and utilized provides valuable insights into a culture. Having a specific time orientation does not mean that a single dominant orientation dictates one's cognitions and behaviours. The research reveals cultural peculiarities of time orientation demonstrated in the phraseological units under study and compares English and Armenian cultures from a linguocultural perspective.

Published: January 2025

The paperxplores the complex process of translation of English euphemisms intormenian, emphasizing the difficulties  involved. Euphemisms, which aim to soften the impact of sensitive topics, pose challenges in translation due to cultural, historical, and linguistic differences between the two languages. In the realm of political discourse, euphemisms serve as strategic linguistic tools, carefully employed to influence public opinion, mask controversial actions, or mitigate diplomatic tensions. The article discusses the methods that translators use to preserve the meaning of the original, and it also attempts to identify the techniques, which are applied when solving the problem of equivalency.

This article examines the gender aspect of the emotional linguistic personality in English “everyday” jokes. The features of the emotional level of a gender linguistic personality are considered, the psychophysiological mechanisms of differences in the emotive behavior of men and women and the ways of expressing these differences in verbal communication are explained. The linguistic features (evaluative lexis, emotional intensifiers, interjections, neologisms) of the emotional level of speech of men and women are studied, and the psychophysiological differences in their emotive behavior are explained. At the morphological level, nouns, adjectives, pronouns, and verbs are considered. Despite the fact that in the West gender studies have already taken a strong place among scientific disciplines, as for gender studies in Armenia, this is one of the relatively new academic disciplines.

This work explores the expression of the singular form of nouns through a comparison of three languages: Modern Eastern Armenian, Russian, and German. It is presented not only as one aspect of the opposition between singular and plural forms but also as an exploration of the multi-meaningful use of nouns. The study highlights common features of this category in these languages, as well as distinctive characteristics of each. The analysis of numerous examples reveals that each of these three languages, with its specific lexical and grammatical features, tends to use the singular form of the noun more frequently than the plural, giving the concept a broader and more general character. From a semantic perspective, the singular form of the noun is polysemous not only in Armenian but also in German and Russian. From a structural standpoint, both marked and synthetic forms are commonly used.

Published: January 2025

The paper discusses the role and significance of the term "concept" in modern linguistics. Many linguists have referred to the definition of the concept, emphasising the national mentality, language thinking, historical developments and cultural-linguistic features in order to study the linguistic material and to reveal the content expressed by the language units. Taking into account the theoretical basis of the study of concepts, this paper discusses the semantic content of the cultural-linguistic concept of "success" in order to highlight the importance of the phenomenon of success in real life. The tendency to succeed and be successful is characteristic of all times. The material of the research is the definitions and interpretations of the concept of "success" presented by the famous American and British people of different eras. The paper also presents the necessary conditions for success, secrets and ways to achieve success. Summarising the points of view presented in the studied examples, it should be noted that the semantic characteristic of the linguistic and cultural concept of "success" implies the presence of a number of human qualities, such as self-confidence, courage, perseverance and consistency, which ensure progress, well-being, fame and wealth. The analysis of the dictionary meanings of the word "success" and the proposed definitions of the cultural-linguistic concept of "success" and the identification of the semantic content are accompanied by the study of the syntagmatic peculiarities of the word "success".

The carbon cycle has great importance to support life on earth. In this cycle, organic carbon which present in the soil is a vital element in the fertility of land. Which produces many organic as well as mineral nutrients in the growth of plants, improve the soil structure and its biological health and it improves the physical health of the soil. Study was conducted inside the Potohar plateau which is situated from 33.770 to 340 north latitude and from 71.450 to 730 east longitudes. Its elevation was about 1800 feet in eastern region of 3,531 feet in western part just near the Indus River ridge. The western left bank of river Indus experienced the lowest forest strip, elevation of 820 feet in altitude. The area is dominated by four plant species Olea ferruginea, Acacia modesta, Monotheca buxifolia and Dodonea viscosa. 20 Sample plots were selected randomly from various sites in which 180 samples were collected with the help of soil auger in two portions, i.e. 0-15 cm and 16-30 cm. at a distance of 1m and 3m and 5m from the plant and in a vertical extent of 0-15.00cm,16-30.00 cm and 31-45.00 cm, Olea ferruginea soil showed slightly higher total soil organic carbon as compared to Acacia modesta soil.

Objective: We aimed to evaluate the correlation between β-endorphin levels and the level of pain-related depression in breast cancer patients.
 
Theoretical Framework: β-endorphin could induce analgesia, and low central levels of β-endorphin are linked to psychiatric disorders associated with stress, depression, and post-traumatic conditions.
 
Method: This is an analytical study with a cross-sectional approach. Subjects were recruited using consecutive sampling, with inclusion criteria including advanced-stage breast cancer patients (stage III-IV), aged 18-65 years, able to understand study instructions, and willing to participate by signing informed consent. Data collection began with demographic data, pain scores (NRS), depression scores (PHQ-9), followed by blood sampling for β-endorphin level measurement. Correlation analysis was carried out using Spearman's correlation test with SPSS version 26.0.
 
Results and Discussion: There were strong negative correlations between β-endorphin levels with pain severity (r=-0.764, n=90; p<0.0001) and level of depression (r=-0.600; p<0.0001). Higher β-endorphin serum level correlates with lower pain severity and depression level in advanced breast cancer patients. This finding might suggest the potential use of β-endorphin level measurement as a biomarker of pain and depression in the management of breast cancer patients.
 
Research Implications: This study provides insights into how the findings could influence practices in the field of neuropsychiatry, and could encompass health sectors in promoting well-being for cancer patients.
 
Originality/Value: The value of this research is evidenced by the correlations between serum β-endorphin with pain severity and level of depression. Its contribution to the literature is by discovering the role of biological component in neuropsychiatry field.
