Published: September 2024

Experimental animal models are considered an important scientific tool used to understand the pathogenesis of depression and the mechanism of anti-depressant agents. Human depression is a unique and complex process of multifactorial etiologies. The research-based evidence suggested that a functional deficiency of norepinephrine (NE), 5-hydroxy tryptamine (5-HT), and other neurotransmitters result in depression. A mood alteration disease associated with neurotransmitter dysfunction or psychological stress. There are numerous experimental animal models available to screen antidepressant drugs, but their precise pathophysiology is not entirely well-known. The present review focused on depression assay studies that used a variety of experimental models, including acute stress models such as the forced swim test, models of prolonged physical or social stress such as social defeat, genetic models of secondary depression, and other experiments meant to clarify the mechanisms of antidepressant medications.

Published: September 2024

Introduction: Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a formidable pathogen, causing severe infections in humans and animals, often leading to local and systemic inflammation. In light of this, it becomes imperative to explore novel therapeutic avenues. One such promising approach is the utilization of herbal-derived antioxidants, with katuk leaves (Sauropus androgynus) being a prime example.
This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of katuk leaf extract (KLE) against systemic MRSA infection in rat models.
Materials and methods: This study used 36 male Sprague-Dawley rats. The rats were divided into six groups including, healthy rats (Group C), infected rats without treatment (Group K), infected rats + 100 mg vancomycin per kg BW (Group V), infected rats + 1,000 mg/kg BW of KLE (Group T1), infected rats + 2,000 mg/kg BW of KLE (Group T2), and infected rats + 4,000 mg/kg BW of KLE (Group T4). The therapy was given twice daily for seven days. On the final day, the blood and sera were collected and tested against total erythrocytes, leucocytes, indices of erythrocytes, differential leucocyte count, and C-reactive protein (CRP).
Results: The findings showed that the administration of 4,000 mg/kg BW of KLE potentially leads to more favorable changes in haematological parameters compared to the healthy group, particularly for hemoglobin (Hb), packed cell volume (PCV), mean cell volume (MCV), mean cell hemoglobin (MCH), mean cell hemoglobin concentration (MCHC), platelets, monocytes, neutrophils, and CRP. Additionally, the 4,000 mg/kg BW of KLE increases the ratio of lymphocytes/neutrophils compared to the other groups.
Conclusion: The KLE has the critical benefit of being a systemic antibacterial agent against MRSA at a dosage of 4,000 mg/kg BW, especially in improving the haematological profile and CRP in rat models.

Nghiên cứu phân tích mối liên quan giữa xét nghiệm cận lâm sàng trong chẩn đoán và lựa chọn sử dụng thuốc mới sinh học để điều trị bệnh vảy nến thông thường tại bệnh viện Da liễu Trung ương. Nghiên cứu đã chỉ ra rằng: Xác định và phân tích các xét nghiệm men gan, chức năng thận và triglycerid máu đóng một vai trò quan trọng trong việc theo dõi, phát hiện và ngừng sử dụng hoặc đổi thuốc hệ thống truyền thống. Xét nghiệm tổng phân tích máu và hóa sinh máu cung cấp thông tin quan trọng để lựa chọn thuốc và đánh giá về tình trạng trước khi điều trị. Xét nghiệm sàng lọc lao, viêm gan B, viêm gan C và HIV được thực hiện đẩy đủ trước khi dùng thuốc sinh học. Kết quả xét nghiệm máu đã phản ánh được 50% - 100% hiệu quả điều trị, đồng thời cũng là căn cứ để tiến hành thay đổi hướng điều trị mới bằng thuốc sinh học. Xét nghiệm QuantiFERON-TB ở các nhóm có kết quả âm tính là căn cứ để không cần điều trị lao trước khi dùng thuốc sinh học. Tỷ lệ xét nghiệm có số lượng bạch cầu trung tính, lympho và mono giữa nhóm bệnh nhân dùng Secukinumab và 2 nhóm khác, có sự khác biệt có ý nghĩa (p<0,05). Kết quả này cũng là cơ sở để ưu tiên sử dụng Secukinumab khi bệnh nhân có những bất thường huyết học. Hơn nữa, khi xác định được bệnh nhân vẩy nến thông thường có men gan cao so với nhóm chung (p<0,05) sẽ lựa chọn điều trị thuốc sinh học nhưng không nên sử dụng Adalimumab.

Pneumonite de hipersensibilidade em criadores de aves e suas abordagens para diagnóstico, tratamento e prevenção
Authors: Mainette Mirela Benedicto , Porfirio Ana Luiza Martins , Dalvi Eloísa Cocco , Herkenhof Marilia de Abreu Hudson
Published: September 2024

A pneumonite de hipersensibilidade (PH) é uma inflamação conhecida como alveolite alérgica extrínseca, que pode evoluir para fibrose pulmonar (FP), resultando de uma reação imunológica à inalação de antígenos como fungos, mofo e proteínas animais, frequentemente presentes em aves. A PH pode ser classificada em três formas: aguda, com sintomas que surgem poucas horas após a exposição; subaguda, quando os sintomas aparecem após semanas; e crônica, que pode evoluir para FP com a exposição contínua. Este estudo visa conscientizar sobre os riscos de criar pássaros em ambientes fechados. Para isso, foram revisados artigos nas bases de dados SciELO e PubMed, com foco nos mais relevantes. Estudos indicam que a PH é responsável por 80% dos casos de FP no Brasil, afetando entre 3% e 13% dos pacientes com doenças pulmonares intersticiais, com uma estimativa de que dez mil brasileiros sofram da doença, sendo a exposição às aves uma das principais causas. Os sintomas incluem tosse, falta de ar e dores no peito, que podem agravar-se com o tempo e limitar atividades diárias. Contudo, nem todos que mantêm aves desenvolvem a doença, pois isso depende de uma reação imunológica anormal. O controle ambiental e o afastamento do antígeno são considerados fundamentais para o tratamento, além de corticosteroides na fase aguda e antifibróticos podendo ser preciso até mesmo oxigenioterapia na fase crônica, sendo o transplante pulmonar indicado em casos graves. Conclui-se que, embora a PH tenha início silencioso, seu desenvolvimento pode ser grave, reforçando a necessidade de medidas preventivas para evitar a progressão da doença.

ЭТИЧЕСКИЙ ДИСКУРС АБАЯ: КОГНИТИВНО-КОММУНИКАТИВНЫЙ АСПЕКТ
Authors: Абишева К.М. , Тлеш К.Е. , Нургазина А.Б. , Байкадамова А.
Published: September 2024

Статья посвящена исследованию этического дискурса Абая, рассмотренного в когнитивно-коммуникативном аспекте. Отмечено, что дискурс сформирован на базе этических и когнитивно-коммуникативных знаний: в нем дается представление об этическом мировоззрении Абая, приводятся рассуждения Абая о свойствах человеческого характера, даются диалоги философа с собеседниками. Показано, что дискурс Абая построен в соответствии с составляющими других дискурсов (тема, участники, ценности, коммуникация, интертекстуальность, знания). Выявлено, что использованные методы (коммуникативные диалоги, стратегии, моделирование, концептуальный анализ, использование ситуации морального выбора) способствуют осуществлению общего когнитивно-дискурсивного анализа. Выяснено, что дискурс Абая не является религиозным, он не содержит императивности, модальности, не акцентирует внимание на долженствовании. Абай простым, ясным языком анализирует те или иные ситуации со включаемыми в них интертекстами, объясняет суть моральных ценностей, ставит собеседников перед ситуацией морального выбора, выбирает приемлемое для себя поведение, осуждает безнравственные черты характера.  И тем самым как бы в роли учителя передает свои знания окружающим. Цель статьи: рассмотреть в когнитивно-коммуникативном аспекте этический дискурс Абая, выявить и описать его основные составляющие (этические знания, ценности, участников коммуникации), выявить отличие его от религиозного дискурса. Научная новизна статьи состоит в том, что этический дискурс Абая впервые подвергается дискурсивному анализу по основным параметрам когнитивно-дискурсивного анализа.
HYBRID NAMES OF COMMERCIAL ORGANIZATIONS IN THE LINGUISTIC LANDSCAPE
Authors: Akzhigitova A. , Tlepbergen D. , Dalbergenova L.
Published: September 2024

Multilingualism has been still impacting and somehow challenging the processes of globalization and acts as a socializing force that connects people building up new forms of communication. The present study aims to examine the dynamics of hybrid naming practices in the linguistic landscape of Kazakhstan's capital, focusing on how the interplay of languages reflects broader sociolinguistic trends and the nation’s language policy.  By examining the intersection of trilingualism (Kazakh-Russian-English) and bilingualism (Kazakh-Russian, Kazakh-English), this research uncovers emerging trends in language use. The methodology of this research combines visual ethnography and critical discourse analysis, with data collection involving photographic documentation of signage and supplementary information from the 2GIS application. The findings demonstrate that commercial signage not only mirrors but also actively promotes key trends in Kazakhstan's language policy, such as national identity formation, the process of Latinization, multilingualism, and the influence of globalization. These insights contribute to a deeper understanding of how language policies shape public spaces and highlight the role of commercial signage as a site for negotiating linguistic and cultural identities in a globalized world.

Entrepreneurship Development Among University Students: An Analysis of Barriers and Opportunities in Rawalpindi and Islamabad
Authors: Ullah Naqeeb , Asghar Umair
Published: September 2024

This study examines the influence of financial, technical, and cultural barriers on entrepreneurial growth in Pakistan, focusing specifically on college students in Rawalpindi and Islamabad. The research addresses a critical issue: while Pakistan’s economic environment and various government initiatives offer substantial opportunities for business development, excessive government intervention is identified as a major impediment to entrepreneurial innovation and risk-taking. To investigate this, primary data was collected using a structured questionnaire administered to college students. The study employs correlation analysis to explore the relationship between these barriers and the capacity for business growth, as well as to assess the interactions among the different types of impediments. Financial barriers include limited access to funding and financial resources; technical barriers encompass a lack of technical skills and infrastructure; and cultural barriers involve societal attitudes and norms that may hinder entrepreneurial activities. The findings reveal that while government initiatives are well-intentioned, their excessive interference can undermine the entrepreneurial spirit by creating regulatory and bureaucratic hurdles. This research provides critical insights into how these barriers impact the entrepreneurial ecosystem and highlights the need for a balanced approach to government intervention. By offering a detailed analysis of these factors, the study aims to assist scholars and policymakers in developing more effective strategies to enhance Pakistan’s entrepreneurial environment, thereby fostering sustainable business growth and innovation.

Working Capital Management Practices and Financial Performance of Public Universities in Kenya
Authors: Burton Juma John , Miroga Julius
Published: September 2024

This study investigated the relationship between working capital management practices and the financial performance of public universities in Kenya. It recognized persistent liquidity challenges and budget deficits as significant concerns, as highlighted by the Commission for University Education (CUE) in 2021. The research analyzed the effects of accounts receivable and accounts payable management on financial performance, with the objective of providing insights into the operational efficiency and sustainability of these institutions. Data were collected from 31 public universities, focusing on key performance indicators such as liquidity ratios, profitability metrics, and solvency ratios. The findings revealed that effective accounts receivable management significantly enhanced financial performance by optimizing cash inflows, thus improving liquidity. Conversely, effective accounts payable management contributed positively by managing cash flow constraints and fostering financial sustainability. The regression analysis confirmed a statistically significant relationship between working capital management practices and financial performance, evidenced by a strong R-squared value of 0.788. Both management practices demonstrated notable impacts, with unstandardized coefficients indicating that enhancements in accounts receivable and accounts payable management significantly affected the universities’ overall financial health. This research underscored the critical importance of sound working capital management practices for the financial viability of public universities in Kenya. It concluded that these practices could mitigate liquidity constraints and improve profitability, emphasizing the need for universities to adopt stringent management strategies. Recommendations included the establishment of efficient debt collection frameworks and prompt supplier payments to optimize cash flow. The study highlighted the necessity for continuous monitoring and evaluation of working capital strategies to ensure alignment with financial objectives. Future research should explore other components of working capital management, providing a broader understanding of financial performance in higher education institutions

Published: September 2024

The dynamic healthcare landscape demands continuous learning and skill development for nursing faculty. This research investigates the potential of Web 2.0 technologies to enhance faculty performance and student learning outcomes in nursing education. Traditional methods of measuring such interventions often struggle with inherent uncertainties. This study proposes a novel approach, utilizing neutrosophic data analysis, a framework that incorporates truthiness, falsity, and indeterminacy. By examining faculty experiences with Web 2.0 tools through surveys and interviews, the research aims to identify the most effective tools, demonstrate their impact on faculty performance, and validate the use of neutrosophic analysis in measuring educational technology effectiveness. The findings can inform the development of targeted programs and resource allocation for faculty, ultimately leading to a more skilled nursing workforce and improved patient care.

The research participants included all school residents at SMAN 1 Cibadak, SMAN 11 Pandeglang and SMAN 24 Tangerang Regency.  The results of the study show that the factors that cause the destruction of school facilities by individuals include mere pranks. The next most domineering reason is accidentality; pleasures and dislikes; and as a form of venting anger. The facilities that are most vulnerable to damage are benches or classroom tables; toilets or sinks and school walls.  This study recommends several measures to address this problem, such as increased supervision, the implementation of stricter discipline policies and character education programs that involve the active participation of students in maintaining and caring for school facilities. With a comprehensive and collaborative approach, it is hoped that a safer and more conducive school environment can be created for the educational process.

This research is descriptive quantitative research with a sample size of 438 students from a population of 500 students. The sampling technique used incidental and used the Tafarodi & Swann (2001) instrument adopted by Wulandari, W (2020). In this study, it was revealed that the condition of self-esteem of class X students of MAN 1 Tasikmalaya was generally in the moderate category or if it was presented was 415 students (95%), which means that most students already have good self-esteem but have not fully shown high self-esteem as shown by students with high self-esteem. Therefore, better improvement is needed so that high self-esteem can be achieved as much as possible. There is no significant difference between male and female students in the level of self-esteem between male and female students because one of the factors that affect self-esteem is the environment. Where they have the same environment, be it at school or boarding school, the same business and activities. Therefore, there is a need for guidance and counselling services using classical guidance. Classical guidance is an efficient service, especially in dealing with the problem of the ratio of the number of counsellors and clients.
