Single-Entity Protein Electrochemistry of Diffusion-Limited Enzymes
Authors: Zhao Ziwen , Kostopoulos Nikolaos , Ganguli Sagar , Bergstrom Paul , Sekretareva Alina
Published: March 2024

Single-entity electrochemistry has recently emerged as a promising method for label-free exploration of the catalytic functions of individual enzymes. However, skepticism within the scientific community regarding the applicability of the method for single enzyme measurements has arisen due to issues in the experimental data presented in the literature and limited theoretical modeling of such data. Here, we address these concerns through a thorough experimental investigation of two diffusion-limited enzymes, catalase and superoxide dismutase, employing a combination of protein film voltammetry and single-entity protein electrochemistry measurements. We then introduce a novel theoretical model for simulating the current responses, generated by the reduction of the product of the enzymatic reaction of single enzyme molecules at the electrode. This model is based on a combination of finite element simulations using COMSOL Multiphysics and random walk simulations. It incorporates the diffusion-limited enzymatic kinetics of the investigated enzymes and introduces a geometry that mimics the substrate diffusion channel of the enzyme. Our work demonstrates that the experimentally detected current signals align with the simulated current signals, affirming that they can be attributed to the catalytic activity of single enzymes detected via the product of the enzymatic reaction.
Fosfomycin: An old antibiotic and new perspectives. A review
Authors: Leonova Marina V.
Published: March 2024

Urinary tract infection (UTI) is one of the most common urological diseases and presents a problem for rational antibiotic therapy due to the growing antibiotic resistance. Fosfomycin is one of the older low molecular weight, broad-spectrum bactericidal antibiotics with activity against uropathogens, particularly Escherichia coli and others. Fosfomycin is administered as a single dose that achieves very high concentrations of the antibiotic in the urine and bladder, sufficient to eliminate most common uropathogens, including those with multidrug resistance (MDR). Many factors have contributed to the persistence of fosfomycin's antibacterial activity, including the use of a single dose, limited use for UTIs only, and very high and persistent urinary concentrations that rapidly kill bacteria, reducing the possibility of mutant selection. In addition to its antimicrobial properties, fosfomycin has an immunomodulatory effect by altering the function of lymphocytes, monocytes, and neutrophils. It affects the acute inflammatory cytokine response. New data have been obtained on the activity of fosfomycin against biofilms formed by uropathogens and against biofilm-associated bacterial strains with MDR. A new 2020 meta-analysis compared the efficacy of fosfomycin with equivalent antibiotics (β-lactams/cephalosporins, quinolones, sulfonamides, nitrofurantoin) in women in the broad categories of uncomplicated UTI or asymptomatic bacteriuria and found no difference in clinical and microbiological cure rates with comparison groups. A number of other studies in patients with UTIs with MDR or complicated course also showed a high sensitivity of uropathogens to fosfomycin and the effectiveness of treatment with multiple doses (2–3 doses with an interval of 48–72 hrs). Fosfomycin is being considered as a potentially useful antibiotic for the treatment of prostatitis. Current data indicate that sufficient concentrations in prostate tissue are achieved after a single dose of fosfomycin. Recent reviews in 2019 and 2022 present results of studies of fosfomycin for the prevention of infectious complications after transurethral prostate biopsy and in patients with chronic bacterial prostatitis whose pathogens are resistant to other antibiotics. Thus, the accumulation of new scientific data on the mechanisms of action and resistance of fosfomycin reveals more potential advantages of its practical application.

Foreign Exchange Reserves and Economic Growth of Brazil: A Nonlinear Approach
Authors: Kashif M. , Singhal N. , Goyal S. , Singh S. K.
Published: March 2024

The research aims to look at the linear and nonlinear causal relationships between Brazil’s accumulated international reserves and economic growth from 1989 Q1 through 2021 Q4. For empirical investigation, this study employed econometric procedures such as the Augmented Dickey Fuller and Zivot-Andrews unit root tests, the linear Granger causality test, Johansen’s cointegration test, the BDS test, and the nonlinear Granger causality test proposed by Hiemstra and Jones. The study concluded that there is a bidirectional linear and non-linear causality between foreign exchange reserve and economic growth. This study fills the gap in the literature by exploring the nonlinear relationship between international reserves and economic growth, while earlier studies primarily explored linear relationships. Foreign trade policymakers can utilize the model developed here to formulate applicable policies about foreign exchange reserves. Based on the findings, the study proposes that Brazil can accrue foreign reserves if surplus assets are invested in alternate sources such as economic infrastructure projects and regional infrastructure development.
Tax System and Equity Investment in a Growing Economy
Authors: Omodero C. O.
Published: March 2024

The purpose of the study is to identify the impact of the tax system on investment in equity capital by analyzing the six types of taxes that affect the activities of firms. The data for the independent variables (tax classes in Nigeria) are obtained from the Federal Internal Revenue Service, while the data for the dependent variable (equity investment) are obtained from the Statistical  Bulletin  of  the  Central  Bank of  Nigeria. The  necessary statistical  methodologies are used to examine the impact of various tax classes on equity investment from 2011 to 2020. According to the research, capital gains tax and  gas  income  tax have  little  effect  on  equity investment. The  petroleum  profit  tax and corporate income tax have a considerable detrimental impact on equity investment. On  the  plus  side, value added tax and education tax have a significant favorable impact on equity investment. These results are one-of-akind and precisely depict the genuine nature of the country’s tax system and its impact on investment. As a result, the research proposes a tax shift to lessen the tax burden on enterprises in order to stimulate equity investment, which will increase firms’ capital base for the purpose of business expansion and growth of the nation’s economic structure.
Effects of Corporate Environmental Responsibility, CSR and CEO Shareholding on Financial Performance: Evidence from U.S.-Listed Companies
Authors: Hachicha F.
Published: March 2024

Corporate environmental responsibility (CER) plays an important role in the sustainable policies of firms and affects the behaviors of managers. For U.S. listed firms for 2010–2021, this study aims at evaluating the sustainability of investment through corporate environmental responsibility (CER) and corporate social responsibility (CSR), the complementarily or substitutability between (CER) and the CEO shareholding, and the impact on corporate financial performance (CFP).The results show that CSR efforts create a good image of the company, which subsequently enhances the credibility of its corporate environmental responsibility projects. Also, the results show the corporate environmental responsibility of U.S listed companies has a positive impact on performance. Specifically, the CEO’s shareholding serves as a mediator between corporate environmental responsibility and CFP. Moreover, the paper finds substitutability between CEO shareholding and corporate environmental responsibility, so the more the shareholding CEO is reluctant to take the risk, the more they avoid investing in corporate environmental responsibility projects. This finding will reinforce the positive effect of corporate environmental responsibility on performance. A positive relationship was recorded between CFP and the combination between CSR and CER and between CFP and the combination between CER and CEO shareholding. Taken together, our evidence suggests that CER concerns could enhance the extent of managerial learning, especially for firms experiencing greater risks. Our paper provides new evidence for the role of CER in reducing corporate risk and further confirms the importance of the corporate environment by conducting a robustness test.

Authors: Syafaat Abdul Kholiq Syafa’at , Qaiser Abdul Kareem Hamoode  , Muwahid
Published: March 2024

The development of Shariah hospitals must be accompanied by good corporate governance standards based on Shariah principles. Instead, the Fatwa of the Indonesian Ulama Council has become a guideline for Shariah hospital governance but is still not well implemented by the majority of Shariah hospitals in Indonesia. This research analyzes the implementation of the Fatwa of the Indonesian Ulama Council regarding Guidelines for Organizing Hospitals Based on Shariah Principles using indicators of Good Corporate Governance principles. This research used qualitative methods and approaches. Data collection used observation, interviews and document studies. The research location was the East Java Province Shariah Hospital. The research results show that the implementation of the Fatwa of the Indonesian Ulama Council regarding Shariah-based hospitals management in East Java Province has been effective. The fulfillment of the elements of the principles of Good Corporate Governance proves it. For example, the principle of transparency emphasizes a one-stop service with Islamic moral and ethical foundations. The principle of accountability in Standard Operating Procedures is based on the value of devotion to Allah SWT. The principle of responsibility prioritizes honesty and guidance to patients and internal hospital staff, in line with the principle of monotheism. The principle of independence is realized in each unit in the hospital, not to dominate each other, and there is no intervention from other parties, in line with the principle of ridha.

Authors: Purity Kiptum J. , Kinyanjui Mathew N. , Onyango Edward R.
Published: March 2024

The study investigates generation of entropy in an unsteady, incompressible nanofluid flow occurring within a fluidized bed dryer used in tea processing industries. The study considered the presence of variable magnetic field, influence of viscous dissipation, thermal radiation and chemical reaction. The nonlinear partial differential equations of momentum, energy and concentration were derived. A finite difference numerical scheme was employed to obtain an approximate solution for the nonlinear partial differential equations governing the flow. Entropy generation is then determined from velocity, concentration and temperature profiles obtained from solution of momentum, mass and energy equations. The study illustrated the impact of various flow parameters on entropy generation and Bejan number through graphical presentations while numerical values for skin friction coefficient, heat and mass transfer rates were provided in tabular form. Study of entropy generation allows one identify factors which contribute to energy inefficiencies in a thermal system and allows different stakeholders or designers of bed dryers in tea factories identify ways of improving the dryer or designing more effective dryers. Bejan number is used in thermodynamics to evaluate efficiency of thermal systems such as fluidized bed dryers. It helps one design heat exchangers which maximizes heat transfer while minimizing energy losses. The findings of this study are essential in improving the performance, efficiency and the design of a fluidized bed dryer involving heat and mass transfer as well as fluid flow.

Examina a relocalização do setor sucronergético e suas microrregiões selecionadas nos três estados e a passagem da transição das etapas da criação e consolidação do Instituto do açúcar e do álcool (1933-1960), Proálcool (1975-1990), desregulamentação (1991-2002) e o lançamento do carro flex-fuel (2003-atual),, bem como o rendimento agrícola da cana-de-açúcar, área ocupada e quantidade produzida da cana através dos dados dos censos agropecuários de 1975-2006 e a expansão migração e a competição das usinas nordestina com centro-sul na década de noventa.
Análise do estado de bem-estar social sob a ótica Keynesiana: Seu desenvolvimento, ascensão e enfraquecimento
Authors: Martins José Ricardo , Souza Santos Marcelo
Published: March 2024

O artigo tem como objetivo analisar o modelo do Estado de Bem-estar social através da teoria keynesiana, seu desenvolvimento, ascensão e enfraquecimento (1930-1980). O papel de um Estado regulador da economia propôs uma solução à crise de 1929 e auxílio na reconstrução de países no pós-guerra. Entre as décadas de 1970 e 1980, o modelo de Estado de Bem-estar social se enfraqueceu devido a mais uma crise econômica de extensão mundial e por outros fatores, como o neoliberalismo. Metodologicamente esta é uma pesquisa qualitativa-descritiva, baseada em estudo bibliográfico que tem como questão: quais foram os fatores que colaboraram para que o Estado recuasse em sua política assistencial nas décadas de 1970-80? Como hipótese de trabalho, considera-se que o Estado de Bem-estar social busca assegurar equilíbrio econômico e proteção aos direitos individuais e sociais dos seus cidadãos, sem sair dos moldes do capitalismo. Conclui-se que o ciclo econômico que ocorreu nesse recorte temporal, possibilitou o protagonismo do neoliberalismo, mas não a anulação do Estado de Bem-estar social.
Instituições e trajetórias de desenvolvimento historicamente enraizadas: o caso dos países de industrialização tardia na américa latina e leste asiático
Authors: Freitas Tales Rabelo
Published: March 2024

Este artigo tem como objetivo apresentar elementos que justifiquem a importância da abordagem institucionalista para a compreensão das diferenças nas trajetórias de desenvolvimento dos países. Em linha com Zysman (1994), o argumento principal é que as instituições criam trajetórias de desenvolvimento historicamente enraizadas. Assim, o esforço vai ao encontro de demonstrar como este paradigma explica as especificidades das trajetórias dos países de industrialização tardia na América Latina e no Leste Asiático. No geral, defende-se que o período desenvolvimentista, a partir década de 30, contribuiu para enraizar certos hábitos que foram importantes para a determinação das novas trajetórias de desenvolvimento, desencadeadas a partir da liberalização econômica dos anos 80.

Published: March 2024

Cervical cancer is one of the fourth cancers in the world that occurs in women. Papillomavirus infection has been reported as one of the causative agents of cervical cancer. Apoptotic mechanism is one of the signs of cancer. Cynomolgus monkeys have been widely used as animal models in biomedical research because they are similar to humans in terms of genetics, anatomy, and physiology compared to other animals. Previous studies reported that cynomolgus monkeys have undergone spontaneous infection by papillomavirus, but this infection did not show the phenomenon of cervical cancer. This study aimed to evaluate the prediction of papillomavirus-infected cervical cancer through apoptotic mechanisms regulated by Bax and Bcl-2 genes. Gene expression was performed in this study using Real-Time PCR technique. The results showed an increase in Bax and Bcl-2 gene expression in positive group cynomolgus monkeys with papillomavirus infection. Bcl-2 as anti-apoptotic gene expression increased significantly higher than Bax as pro-apoptotic gene. Bax and Bcl-2 have potential as biomarkers to predict the phenomenon of cervical cancer in cynomolgus monkeys with papillomavirus infection.

Published: March 2024

This research is to analyze the behavior and intentions of students to transact ZISWAF digitally through sharia m-banking services. This study uses the expansion of the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use to Technology (UTAUT) model by adding the trust construct. Data collection used the Google form with a sample of students who had ZISWAF digitally through sharia m-banking with a sample of 97 respondents. The research findings show that the intention to participate in ZISWAF through sharia m-banking is influenced by social influence, facilitating conditions and trust. However, the variable performance expectations and effort expectations are not significant to behavioral intentions. Meanwhile, adoption behavior (usage adoption) is influenced by beliefs and behavioral intentions which significantly influence the adoption of sharia m-banking services for students with ZISWAF among students in Indonesia.

The data analysis carried out is by reducing the results of interviews that are considered relevant, displaying data in the form of data groups that show the dimensions of perception, and drawing conclusions after careful analysis. The results show that consumer perceptions of the quality of MSMEs delivery services are mostly positive. However, in terms of responsiveness, the response time is currently still considered too slow so that it often causes consumer dissatisfaction. This is certainly seen as a weakness for MSMEs and needs to be solved in order to stay in business. This study also found that the use of uniforms by MSME delivery services is also important for consumers. Thus, this can begin to be made a priority by MSMEs to build a positive consumer perception of MSMEs. Meanwhile, the perception of consumers towards the price set by MSMEs is in accordance with consumer purchasing power and the quality of services. Therefore, it is concluded that it is in accordance with the Islamic economy. The results can be used as a reference by MSMEs and large-scale businesses, not only at the location of this study, but also in other regions in evaluating business strategies and developing innovative delivery services that suit consumer needs.

This paper aims to investigate whether foreign interest rate determines Islamic stock prices vis-à-vis domestic interest rate. The method applied is the Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) model to Indonesian data from January 2008 to June 2018. The study found a long-run negative relationship between foreign interest rate with both Islamic and conventional stock prices. Additionally, foreign interest rate is more important than domestic interest rate in determining the price of both types of stocks. Although Islamic stocks are affected by foreign interest rate dynamics, they are less responsive to changes of the Libor than conventional equities. In addition, it is found that GDP, money supply and real exchange rate has a long-run positive relation with both stock price. Thus, although Islamic equity prices are not insulated against foreign interest rates, they are less responsive to international financial markets movements than conventional stocks. For policy, authorities should pay close attention to foreign interest rate dynamics. While policy makers and fund managers in a dual capital market can use Islamic stocks to provide cushion against dynamics of international funds market.

This study examines the influence of attitudes, subjective norms, perceived behavior control, and religiosity on consumer intention to adopt Islamic bank services. This study used 550 respondents from 26 provinces in Indonesia. The study develops a structural equation model (SEM) to achieve its purpose. The results show that attitudes, subjective norms, and perceptions of behavioral control affect people's interest in adopting Islamic banking services. Likewise, awareness, uncertainty, suitability, and relative advantage, affect the intention of the consumer to adopt Islamic banks' services. In contrast, religiosity does not affect community interest in adopting Islamic bank services. Further, normative beliefs affect subjective norms and self-efficacy, whereas facility conditions affect perceived behavior control of consumers' intention to adopt Islamic banking services. Attitudes, subjective norms, and perceived behavior control influence consumers' intention to adopt Islamic banking services. Accordingly, Islamic banks need to improve services to the public. Also, Islamic banks need to increase their understanding of religious religiosity to foster interest in adopting Islamic bank services

Design and fabrication of improved motorized plantain slicing machine for chips production

Published: March 2024

The majority of small-scale food companies and shops in Nigeria are unable to meet the enormous demand for plantain chips because of a few crucial considerations. Being a semi-perishable crop, a significant number of plantains are lost to deterioration at the highest point of harvest. Adopting an efficient method for turning food into chips for year-round availability and preservation is vital to guarantee food security and minimize waste. Plantain slicing with a knife has always been a hard, time-consuming, and unclean process with poor results. Although the slicer can be used for domestic purposes, it was intended for usage in medium and small-scale industries. The plantain slicing machine's design and construction aim to address the aforementioned issues. The design parameters that have been determined are the belt and pulley size, the power requirement (P), and the shaft diameter (D). The complete apparatus consists of a slider-crank mechanism that is powered by an electric motor through a v-belt. The driven pulley is supported by two bearings on a shaft. The hopper, which holds the plantains, the guide, and the stanchion make up the slider. Two cranks, one on each side, make up the mechanism. Through the use of a connecting rod, which transfers motion to the hopper (slider), they are connected to the slider. The intended chip formation is accomplished by moving the slider back and forth along the guide's bed, which holds the cutting blade. The device, which operates on the shear cutting concept, can cut raw plantains into chips with consistent sizes in a shorter amount of time. In just two to three seconds, it can cut a raw plantain finger up to 70 mm in diameter. According to the performance evaluation results, it takes an average of 267 seconds to slice 30 plantain pieces with an average length of 260 mm, weight of 0.3 kg, and diameter of 65 mm. All that's needed for machine maintenance is appropriate cleaning after usage and lubrication of the spinning parts. Even while this plantain slicer uses less labor and is more efficient than a chip cutter, it nevertheless yields chips with a consistent thickness. This updated device is easy to use, clean, lightweight, removable, and requires less maintenance. Consequently, the aforementioned constraints will be removed with this new design's enhancement, making the processing of plantain chips quite simple.
