Authors: Dr. Attia Ayoob  , Kashif Zia  , Dr. Sadaf Bukhari  , Dr. Qasim Zia
Published: February 2025

Abstract
Hypertension is one of the leading causes of cardiovascular diseases, and the condition causes several changes in the heart muscles now referred to as cardiac remodeling. This case-control, cross-sectional study aims to investigate the dynamic changes in hypertensive cardiac morphology and function in patients over time with a follow-up period of 5 years, looking at left ventricular mass, myocardial fibrosis, diastolic and systolic dysfunction, and cardiovascular biomarkers. In the current study, hypertensive patients’ cohort was investigated with echocardiography, cardiac magnetic resonance imaging and strain analysis and measurement of natriuretic peptides and inflammatory biomarkers. The findings presented in the study show an increase in LVMI while there is a transition from compensatory to the detrimental form of cardiac hypertrophy as diagnosed by LGE and higher ECV. This was associated with a progressive decrease in GLS of the left ventricle, an early measure of systolic function even when LVEF remains apparently preserved. This led to a deterioration of diastolic function with increased E/e’ ratio and reduced mitral inflow velocities, increased LAVI and higher risk for the development of atrial fibrillation. High BNPs and elevated hs-TnT index indicated the increase of myocardial stress level and subclinical cardiac damage. thereby, early diagnosis and treatment of hypertensive cardiac remodeling recognized the fact that hypertensive cardiac remodeling plays a critical role in the increasing incidence of cardiovascular events, which include heart failure, arrhythmia, stroke among others. These findings suggest routine, expanding clinical practice that involves myocardial strain measurement, fibrosis imaging, and biomarkers assessment in hypertensive patients. Several interventions for consistently lowering blood pressure, reducing myocardial fibrosis, and clearing inflammation may play the core role in slowing the disease progress. These findings offer vital knowledge of the calendar and ways in which hypertensive heart disease occurs and which other disease develops, and it presents helpful information to use in regard to future research in arresting other unfavorable cardiac consequences among hypertensive patients.

Nexus between Government Expenditure, Governance, and Economic Growth in Nigeria
Authors: Chimezie Nwikpo Nwevo
Published: February 2025

The cost of governance in Nigeria is often criticized as being excessively high, while others argue that the core issue lies in poor governance. Despite Nigeria's abundant human and natural resources, economic growth remains stagnant, failing to benefit its citizens. This study explores the nexus between government expenditure, governance, and economic growth in Nigeria. The primary objective is to assess whether a significant direct relationship exists between total government expenditure and governance indicators influencing economic growth in the country. Utilizing time-series data from World Bank governance indicators and the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), the study employs the Structural Equation Model (SEM) path-diagram technique via the maximum likelihood method to estimate the relationships among the variables of interest. Post-diagnostic robust tests validate the findings. The results reveal that increased political instability, violence, and terrorism are directly associated with rising government expenditure and inversely related to economic growth. This suggests that these factors elevate government spending while hampering economic growth. Conversely, government effectiveness is inversely related to total government expenditure and positively impacts economic growth, indicating that improvements in governance reduce expenditure and foster economic progress. Similarly, the rule of law is inversely related to government expenditure and positively associated with economic growth, implying that strengthening the rule of law curtails government spending and enhances economic performance. Additionally, the correlation analysis shows a positive relationship between corruption control and the rule of law, suggesting that enforcing the rule of law can effectively combat corruption in Nigeria.

Leveraging GANs for Synthetic Data Generation to Improve Intrusion Detection Systems
Authors: Rahman Md. Abdur , Francia Guillermo A. , Shahriar Hossain
Published: February 2025

This research presents a hybrid intrusion detection approach that integrates Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) for synthetic data generation with Random Forest (RF) as the primary classifier. The study aims to improve detection performance in cybersecurity applications by enhancing dataset diversity and addressing challenges in traditional models, particularly in detecting minority attack classes often underrepresented in real-world datasets. The proposed method employs GANs to generate synthetic attack samples that mimic real-world intrusions, which are then combined with real data from the UNSW-NB15 dataset to create a more balanced training set. By leveraging synthetic data augmentation, our approach mitigates issues related to class imbalance and enhances the generalization capability of the classifier. Extensive experiments demonstrate that RF trained on the combined dataset of real and synthetic data achieves superior detection performance compared to models trained exclusively on real data. Specifically, RF trained solely on the original dataset achieves an accuracy of 97.58%, whereas integrating GAN-generated synthetic data improves accuracy to 98.27%. The proposed methodology is further evaluated through comparative analysis against alternative classifiers, including Support Vector Machine (SVM), XGBoost, Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU), and related studies in the field. Our findings indicate that GAN-augmented training significantly enhances detection rates, particularly for rare attack types, while maintaining computational efficiency. Furthermore, RF outperforms other classifiers, including deep learning models, demonstrating its effectiveness as a lightweight yet robust classification method. Integrating GANs with RF offers a scalable and adaptable framework for intrusion detection, ensuring improved resilience against evolving cyber threats.

Authors: Yang Yujia , Yang Yi , Yang Peng
Published: February 2025

This study aimed to evaluate the combined effects of music therapy and biomechanical interventions on chronic pain management, focusing on pain intensity, functional impairment, and quality of life. A mixed-methods approach was employed, integrating quantitative measures (pain intensity, functional impairment, and quality of life) with qualitative interviews to capture participants’ experiences. The study involved 120 participants with chronic pain conditions, including fibromyalgia, arthritis, and neuropathic pain. Moreover, participants were selected through purposive sampling. Descriptive and inferential statistics revealed significant improvements in pain intensity visual analogue scale (VAS: 7.8 to 4.6, p < 0.001), functional impairment pain disability index (PDI: 45.6 to 32.3, p < 0.001), and quality of life (SF)-36: 62.4 to 78.2, p < 0.001). Qualitative findings highlighted emotional and cognitive benefits from music therapy and physical improvements from biomechanical interventions, particularly enhanced mobility and reduced pain. The integration of both therapies demonstrated a synergistic effect, significantly improving overall pain management (β = −0.5, p < 0.001). The study concludes that a combined approach offers a comprehensive, effective treatment for chronic pain. Clinical implications include incorporating multimodal interventions into rehabilitation programs with a personalized approach based on pain type and severity. Future research should explore long-term effects and further refine individualized treatment strategies. In contrast, the limitation of this study is the relatively small and homogeneous sample, which may limit generalizability to broader chronic pain populations. Additionally, the short intervention period does not allow for assessing long-term effects.

Authors:   IBDP, HSI, Mumbai, Maharashtra, India, Khan Dania
Published: February 2025

Public procurement plays a crucial role in the economic development of a country specially developing countries. It accounts for a significant share of government spending. In OECD countries, public procurement is estimated to represent 25-30% of GDP, while in India, it constitutes around 20% of GDP. It serves as a key tool for governments to achieve their policy objectives, such as poverty reduction, job creation, and infrastructure development. By investing in public procurement, governments can stimulate local industries, encourage innovation, and promote economic growth. However, traditional procurement processes in India have often been subject to administrative hurdles, lack of transparency, and corruption. The Government e-Marketplace (GeM) has emerged as a transformative solution, reshaping India's public procurement landscape. By leveraging technology, GeM has revolutionized the way government purchases goods and services. It’s an online platform for public procurement in India. In order to ensure a fair and competitive process during procurement for both the buyers and sellers, this new initiative was pioneered on the 9th of August 2016 by the Ministry of Commerce and Industry. The main aim here was to create a platform which is inclusive, efficient and also transparent. This technological innovation has significantly simplified procurement procedures, reduced bureaucratic delays, enhanced transparency, and fostered increased competition among vendors. It supports a wide range of goods and services, enabling government departments, public sector enterprises, and other public bodies to access products at competitive prices. This paper explores the transformative impact of GeM on India’s public procurement system, examining its role as public policy and technological innovation. By reducing administrative rigidness and improving transparency, GeM has contributed for better governance and accountability and cost efficiency. Moreover, it has safeguarded the interest of the small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) by giving them direct market access. The paper also addresses the challenges and opportunities faced by GeM and outlines the path forward for it. Additionally, it analyses how technological innovations like GeM can modernize and optimize procurement systems in emerging economies.

The waste problem at Dadap Beach, Indramayu, is a critical issue impacting the environment, ecosystems, and the local economy. Plastic waste, as the dominant component, threatens coastal sustainability and reduces the attractiveness of the area as a tourist destination. This study aims to analyze the implementation of Regional Regulation of Indramayu Regency Number 12 of 2016 regarding waste reduction and management in this region. The research employs an empirical legal method with a qualitative approach, focusing on field data collection through interviews and observations.
The findings indicate that waste reduction is carried out through community education and the provision of segregated trash bins, though these efforts are not optimal due to low public awareness and a lack of supporting facilities such as 3R TPS (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle facilities) and waste banks. Waste management involves collection by the village and transportation to final disposal sites (TPA) by the Environmental Agency (DLH) under a retribution scheme, which poses a significant challenge due to the village's limited budget. Furthermore, Dadap Village's geographical location as a downstream area exacerbates waste accumulation from upstream river flows.
The study concludes that the implementation of the regulation has not been effective due to systemic barriers such as inadequate infrastructure, weak law enforcement, and insufficient cross-sector collaboration. Recommendations include enhancing public education, strengthening infrastructure, optimizing budgets, and developing local innovations for sustainable waste management. These measures are expected to restore Dadap Beach to a clean, healthy, and productive coastal environment.

Background.
Aim. This study aims to analyze the application of the concept of Green Legislation to the Draft Regional Regulation (Raperda) on Groundwater Conservation and Biopore Infiltration Holes in Cirebon City in 2024
Methods. This research uses a normative juridical method, which focuses on studying legal doctrines, legal principles, and regulations relevant to the research topic.
Result. Based on an analysis of the 2024 Cirebon City Groundwater Conservation and Biopore Infiltration Hole Draft Regulation, it was found that a number of Green Legislation principles have been implemented, reflecting sustainability, wise management of natural resources, and environmental protection. The analysis results show that this draft regulation has included several principles of Green Legislation, such as regulations regarding water conservation and bio-pore management. However, there are gaps in implementation that need to be corrected.
Conclusion. Therefore, the Cirebon City Government needs to improve the quality of the preparation of the Regional Regulation on Groundwater Conservation and Biopore Infiltration Holes by strengthening the integration of Green Legislation principles, especially aspects of sustainability, community participation, and wise management of natural resources. This effort can start by clarifying technical standards for constructing infiltration pits, improving the supervision and law enforcement system, and involving the community in socialization and policy implementation.
Implication. Harmonization is needed between this Raperda and national policies such as the Job Creation Law to minimize the potential for regulatory conflicts and achieve the goal of preserving groundwater resources effectively and consistent with the principles of sustainable development.

This research addresses the issue of Gender Non-Conformities (GNC) in the social and legal context in Indonesia, focusing on the freedom of individuals to express their gender identity and the challenges faced related to cultural and religious norms. Gender non-conformity refers to individuals whose gender expression does not conform to social expectations of masculinity or femininity. In Indonesia, which has conservative religious views, the right to freedom of expression often clashes with dominant religious norms. This research uses the perspective of students to explore their understanding of GNC issues, which can reflect the level of inclusivity and diversity in the campus community. Based on the 1945 Constitution article 28E paragraph 2 which guarantees freedom of opinion, this study examines whether the freedom of gender expression non-conformities is acceptable or actually causes conflict, especially in relation to the protection of human rights (HAM) and existing religious views. The results of this study are expected to provide insight into how the younger generation views gender issues that are not limited to traditional norms, as well as the role of higher education in shaping this perspective.

This study examines the development of halal dim sum restaurants in Surabaya, Indonesia, as a manifestation of culinary adaptation and cultural interaction in the context of a multicultural urban society. Surabaya, the second-largest city in Indonesia, has long been known for its culinary diversity. However, the emergence of halal dim sum restaurants represents a new trend that reflects changes in demographics, consumer preferences, and socio-cultural dynamics. Through a qualitative approach, this study explores the process of adapting traditional Cantonese dim sum into a halal version that meets Islamic Sharia standards without sacrificing the authenticity of the taste. This study analyzes various aspects, including ingredient substitution, modification of cooking techniques, menu innovation, and marketing strategies implemented by halal dim sum restaurants in Surabaya. Key findings suggest that the success of halal dim sum lies not only in culinary innovation but also in its ability to bridge the Chinese and Muslim communities. This phenomenon creates a new space for social interaction and cultural exchange while also encouraging the development of the creative economy in the culinary sector. Furthermore, this study reveals that halal dim sum serves as a catalyst in shaping Surabaya's new, more inclusive culinary identity. The implications of this study provide valuable insights into how culinary adaptation can be instrumental in promoting social cohesion and tolerance in diverse urban communities.
