In Vitro Bactericidal Activity of An Environmentally Isolated Phage Cocktail Against a Characterized Recombinant Endolysin Lysecd7 on Clinical Bacterial Isolates
Authors: Sithole-Niang Idah
Published: December 2023

Background: Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is rapidly spreading, which is pushing humanity into a “post-antibiotic era” where most antibiotics are no longer effective. Scientists are researching bacteriophages as a potential therapy against ESKAPE pathogens, which are a problem in hospital settings, as a result of the development of bacterial resistance to antibiotics. This study assessed the antibacterial efficacy of recombinant LysECD7 and environmental bacteriophage cocktail on bacterial isolates. Materials and Methods: Environmental water and soil samples were examined for the presence of bacteriophages that were capable of killing the bacteria Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus, and Enterobacter cloacae. Utilizing environmental isolates, a bacteriophage cocktail was created and its ability to effectively lyse bacterial growth cultures in vitro was examined. A synthetically generated Myoviridae lytic enzyme named LysECD7 was cloned, produced, and demonstrated wide bactericidal efficacy against gram-negative bacterial pathogens. The bacteriophage cocktail and endolysin’s (0.203mg/ml) antibacterial activity were assessed using a spot assay and an antibacterial activity assay in broth culture. Phage and endolysin bacteria samples were taken and their OD600 levels were checked every 30 minutes for phages and every 30 seconds for endolysin. Results: The average antibacterial activity of isolated bacteriophages was 43.58%, as opposed to the recombinant endolysin’s 31.48%. Bacterial absorbance declined steadily with each subsequent phage replication cycle, however, after six hours, there was a minor improvement in bacterial growth. The Gram-negative E. coli ATCC 25922 and E. cloacae NCTC 134565 exhibited the highest activity for both treatments, while the S. aureus and P. aeruginosa had the lowest activity. Conclusion: A single dose of low endolysin concentration had a very significant antibacterial activity, bacteriophage treatment of bacterial isolates varied greatly per each species under the same conditions. Under the same circumstances, bacteriophage and endolysin activity change within bacterial isolates, demonstrating that activity is independent of concentration. Lysin activity was highest in E. coli and lowest in the other bacterial species, but it should be emphasized that lysin and bacteriophage activity and efficacy differ with each treatment.f
Mechanisms of Energy Transduction in Mitochondria
Authors: EI Bon 
Published: December 2023

Mitochondria play a key role in providing energy for cellular functions, and on the other hand, they are a target, decoder and switch of intracellular signals, generator of secondary messengers and pro-apoptotic factors. Modern ideas about the mechanisms of energy transduction in the mitochondrial membrane were formed after Peter Mitchell created the chemiosmotic theory of ATP synthesis. The data presented in the article can serve as a fundamental basis for further study of the brain in normal and pathological conditions with further extrapolation of the obtained data to humans. Mitochondria play a key role in providing energy for cellular functions, and on the other hand, they are a target, decoder and switch of intracellular signals, generator of secondary messengers and pro-apoptotic factors [1]. Modern ideas about the mechanisms of energy transduction in the mitochondrial membrane were formed after Peter Mitchell created the chemiosmotic theory of ATP synthesis. The energy resources used by the inner mitochondrial membrane are initially directed at the transport of the conjugating proton through the membrane to an area with a higher concentration (energization of the membrane), then the proton gradient is used by the mitochondria as a driving force capable of leading to the synthesis of ATP. Isolation of mitochondrial proteins by D.E. Green and co-workers led to the formation of the idea of “complexes” of the respiratory chain [2].
Development and Validation of RP-HPLC Method for the Quantitative Analysis of Bempedoic acid in Bulk and Pharmaceutical Dosage form Using Surface Response Methodology
Authors: Datri A Sai
Published: December 2023

Objectives: A specific and novel RP-HPLC method has been optimized for the quantitative analysis of bempedoic acid using response surface methodology. Method: Response surface methodology (RSM) helps in studying the empirical relationship between one or more measured responses and many independent variables in the form of a polynomial equation. Mapping of those responses related to the experimental domain helps in generating an optimized method. In this present study, the empirical relationship between measured responses like % organic phase, column temperature, and flow rate and independent variables like retention time and theoretical plates are drawn in the form of a polynomial equation and an optimized method was developed from that using Box-Behnken Design (BBD). Results: The analytes chromatogram was run through SB C18 100x1.8mm, 2μm. The optimized data from Design Expert software consists of 0.01% OPA: Acetonitrile (56.05:43.95%, v/v) as mobile phase pumped through column with 1.02ml/min flow rate at 30.09°C gave highest desirable function of 1. The retention times of the drug were found to be 2.231 min. The optimized method was validated as per instructions given in ICH Q2 (R1) guidelines. Conclusion: Based on the results of the analysis of variance, the selected model for the responses like retention time and tailing factor were found to be significant with p=0.05. 2D contour plots were inured to visualize the effect of factors and their interactions on the response.

This study describes the efforts of madrasah diniyah of Pamekasan in maintaining their institutional existence in the midst of the onslaught of modern education. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, this study reveals: the efforts of madrasah diniyah in revitalizing its institutions; exploring the response of stakeholders to these efforts; and challenges faced. The results of the study:The first: The form of revitalization efforts carried out by Madrasah diniyah is to maintain the Salaf curriculum and maximize community involvement in institutional policy making; The second, the response of stakeholders is good. students, community and teachers welcomed the revitalization movement. The third, the challenges faced are: the low interest and ability of row input in religious studies and the lack of financial support from the government. The solution made by madrasas is to strengthen the economy independently and strengthen the internal solidarity of the institution. 

(Madrasah diniyah tumbuh dan berkembang bersama masyarakat. Eksistensinya menggambarkan tingkat keberagamaan masyarakat. Seiring bergesernya pola pikir masyarakat, madrasah diniyah terancam keberlanjutannya karena dipandang sebagai pendidikan “kelas dua” dan hanya cocok bagi kelas menengah ke bawah.

Bantuan Hukum Terhadap Istri dalam Perkara Perceraian Melalui Posbakum di Pengadilan Agama Sampang
Authors: Eka Susylawati  , Siti Musawwamah
Published: December 2023

Posbakum is a place within the Religious Courts that provides free legal aid services to the poor. But in reality there are certain parties who need more services than Posbakum, for example the wife in fighting for her rights in divorce. Considering that wives in general have low levels of education, economy and access compared to their husbands. This study uses a qualitative approach that is directed at a sociological approach by using interview, observation and documentation data collection techniques. The results showed that the application of legal assistance for wives in divorce cases through Posbakum at the Sampang Religious Court was in accordance with applicable regulations, namely providing consultation and making claims (application for divorce) and providing information about advocate organizations that can provide legal assistance and among these services the dominant one is the making of divorce papers. The obstacles to the role of Posbakum in providing legal assistance to wives in divorce cases include the Posbakum rules which only provide services in the early stages of making a lawsuit (application for divorce), the wife's knowledge is minimal about the role and function of Posbakum, the Posbakum service room which is one with a court waiting room (without any partitions) and the lack of funds allocated by the state through the DIPA of the Sampang Religious Court.

(Posbakum merupakan tempat yang berada di dalam Pengadilan Agama yang memberikan layanan bantuan hukum secara prodeo kepada masyarakat miskin. Namun dalam realita terdapat pihak tertentu yang membutuhkan pelayanan lebih dari Posbakum, misalnya pihak istri dalam memperjuangkan hak-haknya dalam perceraian. Mengingat istri pada umumnya memiliki tingkat pendidikan, ekonomi dan akses yang rendah dibandingkan dengan suami. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif yang diarahkan pada pendekatan sosiologis dengan menggunakan tehnik pengumpulan data wawancara, observasi dan dokumentasi. Hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa penerapan bantuan hukum bagi istri dalam perkara perceraian melalui Posbakum di Pengadilan Agama Sampang telah sesuai dengan aturan  yang berlaku yaitu pemberian konsultasi dan pembuatan gugatan (permohonan cerai gugat) serta pemberian informasi tentang organisasi advokat yang dapat memberikan bantuan hukum dan diantara layanan tersebut yang dominan adalah pembuatan surat gugat cerai. Adapun kendala atas peran Posbakum dalam memberikan bantuan hukum bagi istri dalam perkara perceraian antara lain aturan Posbakum yang hanya memberikan layanan pada tahap awal pembuatan gugatan (permohonan cerai gugat), pengetahuan pihak istri yang minim tentang peran dan fungsi Posbakum, ruang pelayanan Posbakum yang menjadi satu dengan ruang tunggu sidang (tanpa ada sekat) dan minimnya dana yang diperuntukan oleh negara melalui DIPA Pengadilan Agama Sampang.)
Pencarian Kembali Moderasi Beragama Dalam Kitab Itḥāf Al-Dhaki
Authors: Senata Adi Prasetia
Published: December 2023

This article explores the concept of religious moderation in the Kitab Itḥāf al-Dhaki and its relevance in contemporary Indonesian Islam. As a new national policy, religious moderation is open to criticism for conceptual establishment. This policy aims for addressing the threat of religious extremism and intolerance in Indonesia which has become more active over the past two decades. Also, have been a move to curb the political exploitation of religion which has led to identity politics and hate speech flourishing in the 2019 elections. By using a qualitative type of research based on a literature study, i.e. the Kitab Ithaf al-Dhaki, this article results that remaking of religious moderation in this manuscript is accommodating two streams of thought is more important than choosing one of them, as long as it can be done. The meaning of moderation according to Ibrahim al-Kurani, author of the Kitab Ithaf al-Dhaki, is a someone who can combine the two meanings of the Qur'an both esoteric and exoteric (i.e., a perfect man or insan kamil). Furthermore, Al-Kurani in Kitab Itḥāf al-Dhaki argues to be moderate, one should be understand both (esoteric and exoteric) thoughts. It's impossible to moderate if you don't know the two streams of thought..

 (Artikel ini mengeksplorasi konsep moderasi beragama dalam Kitab Itḥāf al-Dhaki dan relevansinya bagi Islam Indonesia kontemporer. Sebagai kebijakan nasional baru, moderasi beragama terbuka untuk dikritisi demi pematangan konseptual. Terlebih, tujuan dari moderasi beragama adalah untuk mengatasi ancaman ekstremisme dan intoleransi agama di Indonesia yang semakin aktif selama dua dekade terakhir. Selain itu, juga merupakan langkah untuk mengekang eksploitasi politik agama yang telah menyebabkan politik identitas dan ujaran kebencian berkembang dalam pemilu 2019 silam. Dengan menggunakan jenis penelitian kualitatif berbasis studi pustaka, artikel ini menghasilkan temuan bahwa pencarian kembali moderasi beragama dalam manuskrip ini adalah mengakomodir dua aliran pemikiran berseberangan daripada memilih salah satunya, dengan syarat memahami betul kedua aliran pemikiran tersebut. Makna moderasi menurut Ibrahim al-Kurani adalah seseorang yang dapat memadukan dua makna al-Qur’an, baik yang esoteris maupun yang eksoteris (itulah manusia yang sempurna/insan kamil). Lebih lanjut, Al-Kurani dalam Itḥāf al-Dhaki berpendapat untuk menjadi moderat, seseorang harus memahami kedua pemikiran (esoteris dan eksoteris). Tidak mungkin memoderasi jika orang tersebut tidak mengetahui dua aliran pemikiran). Dalam konteks ini, pencarian jati diri moderasi beragama melalui Ithaf al-Dhaki menjadi keniscayaan demi kedewasaan beragama di Islam Indonesia kontemporer.)

Aim:

Palmoplantar melanoma is a rare and aggressive subtype of malignant melanoma. Not like other subtypes, sunlight is not the primary etiologic factor. We aim to expand the knowledge on this rare and neglected malignant melanoma subtype and add our findings to the literature.

Materials and Methods:

Malignant Melanoma patients admitted to our hospital between 2008 and 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. Twenty-seven patients with plantar and one with palmar melanoma were identified and included in our study. Data about gender, age at the diagnosis, histopathological features, sentinel lymph node localization, performed surgeries, sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) and regional lymph node dissection results, recurrence, survival time, primary tumor localization, and systemic metastases were collected.

Results:

26 plantar and one palmar melanoma patients were operated on in this period. Six patients died during follow-up. Twenty-three patients were treated with wide excisions, and four were treated with amputations. The defect was reconstructed with a skin graft in all cases with excisions. In 6 patients with suspicious lymph nodes in the preoperative imaging, lymph node dissection was added to the treatment. Other patients had sentinel lymph node biopsies and continued with dissection if a metastatic node was encountered.

Conclusion:

Our findings are congruent with the current literature. Skin grafting may enhance the success of palmoplantar melanoma follow-up and demands attention.

Authors: AKÇURA Can , ALKAN Samet , GÜNEY Sedat Can , ÖZDEMİR Nilüfer , HEKİMSOY Zeliha
Published: December 2023

Purpose:

The increasing trend of metabolic diseases causes endocrine emergencies to be encountered more frequently in emergency services. This trend increases the importance of endocrinology consultations from emergency services. Examining the features of these consultations will allow the process to be concluded more quickly and effectively.

Materials and Method:

Patients who applied to Manisa Celal Bayar University Faculty of Medicine Emergency Department between March 1, 2017 and March 1, 2022, and were consulted with the Department of Endocrinology were included. The patients' age, gender, diagnoses, the day, the duration and the results of the consultations were evaluated.

Results:

The mean age of the 326 patients included in the study was 51.56 ± 19.4 years. 53.4% (n=174) were female, 46.6% (n=152) were male. Of the patients, 29.4% (n=96) were diagnosed as diabetic ketoacidosis, 21.5% (n=70) hyperglycemia, and 10.7% (n=35) diabetic ketosis. The mean consultation duration was 65.21 ± 46.23 minutes. 32.2% of the patients (n=105) were discharged from the emergency department. This was followed by endocrinology service admission (23.9%; n=78) and intensive care unit admission (17.8%; n=58).

Conclusion:

In the sample group with homogeneous gender and age distribution, it was observed that the majority of the patients applied to the emergency service with diabetes-related emergencies. The diagnosis spectrum of the patients was quite wide, and the consultations were concluded within an average of about one hour. A further investigation of the emergency department endocrinology consultations in detail will contribute to detecting the problems in this process and; therefore, its improvement.

De la figure géométrique à la figure rhétorique : le cercle comme métaphore narrative et temporelle dans les romans de Claude Simon
Authors: Kotowska-Miziniak Joanna
Published: December 2023

One of the most important authors of the [French] New Novel, Claude Simon, perceives scriptural work as being in correlation with mathematical concepts, such as symmetry and geometrics, which manifest themselves both structurally and thematically. The motif of the circle provides the best representation of repetition, which is reflected in the diegetic composition of the novel — looped or spiraled — as well as in the non-linear conception of time, forming a Möbius strip. Thanks to such plasticity of geometric and textual matter, Simon circumvents the ontological problematic of fi nitude, inherent in the existence of beings and the duration of things.
Quando a loucura é da cabeça
Authors: Bocca Francisco Verardi
Published: December 2023

Este artigo apresenta o desenvolvimento da etiologia das doenças mentais no projeto crítico de Immanuel Kant. Desenvolvimento que produziu uma revisão de suas noções inicias de loucura e de metafísica, que teve como desfecho a identificação de um tipo de ilusão que chamou transcendental. Sustentada na analogia entre loucura e metafísica, sua crítica indicou não só os limites do conhecimento, mas também da sanidade mental, ou seja, ao revelar a potência patológica da razão revelou que não se pode conhecer tudo na mesma proporção em que não se pode ser mentalmente saudável. Derivando a loucura de um conflito da razão consigo mesma, foi na razão e seu funcionamento, mais do que no corpo, que a loucura encontrou sua morada, o que repercutiu no deslocamento do prestígio inicial concedido à medicina na etiologia e no tratamento da loucura, concedendo-o à filosofia. Em adição, obstaculizou seu projeto iluminista de progresso social.

Este artigo apresenta resultados de pesquisa e tem como objetivo discutir as relações intergovernamentais na educação básica, entre o Estado de Mato Grosso do Sul e alguns de seus municípios, particularmente no que se refere ao processo de transferência dos Anos Iniciais do Ensino Fundamental, primeira etapa da educação básica, da Rede Estadual de Ensino para as Redes Municipais de Ensino. A metodologia compreende análise bibliográfica, com fundamento na literatura sobre o tema; análise documental, por meio de consulta às páginas eletrônicas de fontes oficiais e de jornais; e entrevista com representantes da Secretaria de Estado de Educação, do Fórum Estadual de Educação e da Assembleia Legislativa do Estado. Os resultados mostraram: encerramento de atividades e integração de escolas da Rede Estadual de Ensino; que a municipalização de escolas provocou embates e mobilizou diferentes segmentos da sociedade civil e da sociedade política; ausência de critérios claros e suficientes de colaboração, nos acordos estabelecidos com determinados municípios, que pode se afastar da descentralização democrática.

Published: December 2023

Research on the madrasah diniyah compulsory education program in Pasuruan Regency was conducted to reveal the relationship between public policy and the power of a particular religious group. A qualitative approach was applied to this research, by presenting facts that had been collected through several reports and in-depth interviews. Furthermore, the fact findings are analyzed based on the principles, concepts and theories of public policy. Research also relies on the results of existing research, especially research with similar material objects and similar perspectives. The focus of this research is to analyze the background of policy making, the dynamics of policy making, and program implementation. The results of this study indicate that the purpose of establishing the madrasah diniyah compulsory education program is to instill religious values to build morality and overcome crime. This research also confirms that regulations related to compulsory education at madrasah diniyah in Pasuruan Regency were formed because of the closeness between policy makers and Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) as a social organization. NU is the dominant force in social, cultural, and governmental politics. This research also clearly finds indications of policy exclusivity. The stipulated program only contains the interests of one group, thus reducing the power of other groups as elements that also live in the public sphere. Another implicative aspect is the increasing implementation of madrasah diniyah in Pasuruan district which is followed by an increase in the quality of teachers.
The victimization of community members in the realm of traditional leaders at OR Tambo District Municipality, South Africa
Authors: Zenzile Enoch
Published: December 2023

Within the largely rural OR Tambo District Municipality (ORTDM), a significant number of community members continue to experience victimization annually. Crime continues to be a persistent issue for both individuals and society at large, with no resolution or justice achieved in its wake. The prevalence of crime in society significantly impacts individuals' behavior, residential choices, and decisions regarding their social activities, including the selection of locations and timing. Typically, individuals tend to experience an increase in fear of becoming a victim of crime, rather than a decrease. This article is characterized by its qualitative approach and use non-probability sampling methodologies. The study aimed to investigate the involvement of traditional leaders in safeguarding women, children, and the elderly from being victimized within the ORTDM community, encompassing the local municipalities of KSD, Ingquza Hill, Mhlontlo, Nyandeni, and Port St. Johns. The primary objective of this discussion paper was to ascertain the specific categories of criminal activities occurring within the territories governed by traditional leaders. This study further demonstrates the significance of examining rural crime and uncovers obstacles that hinder crime prevention in the ORDM. Fifty-eight traditional leaders were interviewed as crucial informants and custodians of the customs of different groups. Traditional leaders, research participants, and community members shared accounts of rape and murder during Imbizos. These incidents involved school-going youngsters and older individuals, including those as old as 95 years. A number of individuals in the neighborhood had paralysis, while others were deprived of their retirement benefits. Traditional leaders argue that, despite this circumstance, the criminal justice system does not give priority to the rights of the victims. The findings together indicate that traditional leaders are involved in the creation, implementation, and monitoring of crime prevention strategies. Nevertheless, the absence of financial support from the government hinders the implementation of crime prevention activities within its jurisdiction. The analysis confirms that crime prevention is an enduring objective. Investing in traditional leaders has the potential to enhance the overall societal well-being.

The financial performance of banks relies heavily on properly utilizing their capital. However, bank ownership can have varying effects on the relationship between financial performance and capital. This study delves into this relationship by examining the impact of ownership on financial performance and bank capital. The study analyzes data from 44 commercial banks in Bangladesh and uses a two-step system generalized method of moments to address heteroscedasticity and autocorrelation issues. Unlike previous studies, this study confirms the significant effect of ownership on the relationship between bank financial performance and bank capital. The study's main findings are: (1) an inverted U-shaped relationship exists between bank capital and financial performance, implying that increasing capital can improve and reduce financial performance. (2) Private and Islamic commercial banks perform better than state-owned and conventional banks. (3) private-owned and Islamic commercial banks with higher capital are more likely to achieve higher profitability and financial success, while state-owned and conventional commercial banks with higher capital show lower profitability and weaker financial performance. Overall, this study offers significant practical implications for academics, researchers, and regulators interested in leveraging these findings.

Published: December 2023

The objective of this study is to comprehend and define the notion of accounting methods in establishing dowry and pisuke pricing among the residents of Kateng Village, located in the West Praya District of Central Lombok Regency. This study employs ethnomethodology, a research approach that utilizes analytical techniques such as indexicality, reflexivity, contextual action, and the presentation of common-sense knowledge regarding social systems. The research employs an interpretive paradigm as its underlying framework. This study employs original data acquired through interviews and observations. This study suggests that accounting processes for estimating dowry and pisuke prices are conducted using four methods: referencing prices, considering social strata, assessing social position, and evaluating personal qualities. These approaches hold significance as symbols of honor and commitment, self-worth, a representation of family values, and the unification of two families. The determination of dowry and pisuke pricing is associated with traditional accounting theory, the distinction between price setter and price taker, and the presence of bargaining, as observed in a market. The results of this study should be tailored to accommodate the talents of individuals. Put simply, women should thoroughly examine the background and socioeconomic status of their possible spouses.
Balancing act: how corporate accounting disclosures and social learning shape corporate image in Taiwan
Authors: Yen Szu-Wei , Wang Tz-Li
Published: December 2023

This research explores how Corporate Accounting Disclosure (CAD) affects the corporate reputation (CR) of publicly traded Taiwan companies, with special emphasis on the moderating influence of social learning (SL). While Corporate Accounting Disclosure and social learning serve as the independent and moderating variables, respectively, corporate reputation is the study's dependent variable. A sample of 125 companies, listed on the Taiwan Stock Exchange Corporation (TWSE), was selected for this study. Our findings suggest that Corporate Accounting Disclosure positively correlates with corporate reputation, as does social learning. Interestingly, the anticipated moderating effect of Social Learning on the association between Corporate Accounting Disclosure and Corporate Reputation was not observed. Future research endeavors may delve deeper into the underlying reasons for this phenomenon by adopting a multifaceted approach of longitudinal studies and cross-cultural analysis. The study also offers in-depth discussions of its findings and clearly outlines its theoretical and practical implications. It concludes by offering recommendations and charting potential avenues for subsequent research.
Effect of hemp and basalt fiber on fracture energy of cement-based composites: a comparative study
Authors: Gultekin Adil
Published: December 2023

Fiber-reinforced composites are one of the most used construction materials. Nowadays, some types of fibers like steel, carbon, glass and basalt are commonly used in these composites. However, the production of these fibers consumes natural resources and a high amount of energy. Researchers have started working on natural fibers to reduce commonly used fibers productions’ drawbacks for more sustainable composites. However, the effect of natural fibers on the properties of cement-based composites -especially fracture energy- still needs further research and comparing with the behavior of commonly used fibers. In this study the effect of hemp fiber on the mechanical properties and fracture energy of cement-based fiber-reinforced mortar mixtures was investigated. The results were compared with those of the basalt fiber-reinforced mixtures. The results showed that the flexural strength and fracture energy improved with the use of hemp and basalt fiber compared to the fiber-free mixture. The flexural strength increased up to 10.7% and 19.6% with the inclusion of hemp and basalt fibers, respectively. The mean peak load and fracture energy of hemp fiber-reinforced mortar was higher than those of the fiber-free mixture by 32.2% and 17.9%, respectively. The corresponding values for basalt fiber addition 60.8% and 146.4%.
