The Effectiveness of Electro-Acupuncture on Experimental Lameness in Horses
Authors: Xie Huisheng , Ott Ed , Colahan Patrick
Published: November 2024

Six normal experimental Thoroughbred horses, 4-8 years old, were selected for this study. Each subject was fitted with special shoes on the front feet designed to produce a focal area of controlled sole pressure to induce lameness. A standardized lameness scale from 0-3, based on specific clinical behaviors, was established prior to the study. A focal area of compression was induced by tightening one screw on the left side of the left front shoe until a lameness score of 2-3 was attained in the left front limb. Each horse received three different treatments, with a one-week washout period between each treatment, in a randomly assigned order using a double 3 x 3 Latin Square study design. The three treatments each horse received were: electro-acupuncture connecting acupoints Bai-hui to Duan-xue, the left SI-9 to San-yang-luo, and the left Qian-chan-wan to Qian-jiu for 45 minutes with a frequency of 80-120 Hz, a 0.5% bupivacaine HCL nerve block subcutaneously injected into the area of the lateral palmar nerve where it passes lateral to the lateral sesamoid bone (as a positive control to block the left lateral area of the sole the screw was compressing) and a sham nerve block using saline at the same site (as a negative control). Lameness was evaluated by 2 separate investigators using the standardized lameness scale at the beginning of the study prior to lameness induction, after lameness was induced and after each treatment. One of the investigators evaluated only videos of the lameness examination and was blinded as to which treatment group each horse was in at the time. Radioimmunological assays (RIA) were used to measure plasma concentration of β-endorphin, cortisol and ACTH before and after the 3 treatments. Electro-acupuncture (EA) decreased the lameness score and reduced the degree of lameness significantly (P<0.001). EA also significantly increased plasma β- endorphin concentrations and reduced cortisol levels compared to the other groups, but had no effect on ACTH levels. These results suggest that the release of β-endorphin may be one of the mechanisms by which acupuncture relieves pain. The cause for the reduced cortisol levels was unknown. The results of this study further support the use of EA to treat natural occurring lameness from hoof disease in horses.

Authors: Astra Nurcholis Panji Bayu , Hendrawati Titi , Andriyana Dede
Published: November 2024

This study explores the integration of ethical values within leadership in Islamic education in the context of the digital age. Utilizing a qualitative research approach, this article employs library research to analyze existing literature on leadership models and ethical principles in Islamic education. The research aims to understand how Islamic educational leaders can effectively uphold and promote Islamic ethical values while adapting to the rapid technological advancements shaping the current educational landscape. Central to the inquiry is the exploration of leadership frameworks that harmonize traditional Islamic ethics, such as justice, trustworthiness, and responsibility, with the dynamic challenges posed by digitalization, including the management of online learning environments and the ethical use of technology in education. The study reveals that Islamic educational leaders must not only demonstrate strong ethical conduct but also possess the ability to navigate technological tools in ways that reflect Islamic values. Additionally, the findings suggest that effective leadership in this realm requires continuous engagement with both classical Islamic thought and contemporary digital literacy to address the ethical dilemmas arising in modern educational settings. The research contributes to the broader discourse on leadership in Islamic education, offering insights into how leaders can maintain moral integrity while fostering innovation in the digital age.

Authors: Wu Luo-Cheng , Liu Yi-Nan , Zeng Ya-Ting , Zhang Qi-Liang
Published: November 2024

Objective: The effects of preoperative nutritional conditions on postoperative recovery in neonates with congenital heart disease (CHD) were evaluated in this study. Methods: A retrospective analysis of data from neonates with CHD who underwent surgery at our hospital from January 2020 to December 2022 was conducted. The relationships between preoperative nutritional conditions and neonatal postoperative recovery were analyzed. Results: Eighty neonates were included in this study. The average gestational age was 38.4 (37, 39.2) weeks, the average birth weight was 3.1 (2.7, 3.4) kg, the average age at surgery was 23 (21, 26) days, and the average preoperative weight was 3.5 (3.0, 3.9) kg. The postoperative mechanical ventilation duration, length of intensive care unit stay, and length of hospital stay of preterm neonates were much longer than those of full-term neonates (p < 0.05). In addition, these values were notably greater for neonates with birth weights ≤3 kg than for neonates with birth weights >3 kg (p < 0.05). The correlation analysis suggested that gestational age, birth weight, preoperative weight-for-age z-score (WAZ) and preoperative height-for-age z-score (HAZ) were negatively correlated with postoperative mechanical ventilation duration, length of intensive care unit stay, and length of hospital stay. Conclusions: Preterm birth and low birth weight significantly prolong the duration of mechanical ventilation and postoperative intensive care unit and hospital length of stay. More attention should be given to nutritional management during the perioperative period for premature or low-birth-weight neonates with CHD. For neonates with CHD requiring surgery, the time available for nutritional support before surgery is very limited; thus, more attention and guidance are needed for prenatal nutritional strategies.

Диктатурата на Сула – механизми за установяване на власт и реализиране на реформи
Authors: Москов Александър
Published: November 2024

Реформите и широката законодателна дейност на Луций Корнелий Сула в края на 80-те години пр. Хр. са насочени към установяване на нов републикански ред чрез промяна на баланса на силите и възстановяване на водещата роля на аристокрацията и Сената. За да се разбере политическата стратегия на Сула, е необходимо да се илюстрират механизмите, които Сула използва не само за налагане на властта си, но и за нейното легитимиране, като се акцентира върху основните ѝ характеристики и публичен образ. Анализът на тези механизми дава аргументи в полза на идеята, че Сула използва традиционни средства по качествено нов начин, за да установи властта си и да осигури нейната стабилност. Това се оказва абсолютната предпоставка за осъществяване, развиване и допълване на нереализираните реформи от първото му консулство през 88 г. пр. Хр. Осъзнато или не, моделът на Сула установява редица прецеденти, които оставят трайна следа за поколения римски държавници и задават шаблони за това как конкретни структури и средства могат да бъдат насочвани да обслужват определени политически цели. Републиката на Сула разчита постепенно да се разграничи от насилствения начин, по който е установена, и търси стабилна правна основа с цел да осигури продължителното си съществуване. Самият Сула ясно разбира необходимостта от недвусмислено легитимиране на своето идване на власт, а оттам и на всички реформи и нововъведения в държавното управление.

Published: November 2024

For managers, budgeting is a very important issue that affects the future survival of the organization. Given that key stakeholders are often involved in budget preparation, this preparation process raises questions regarding the relationship between participation in budget preparation and management motivation and performance. This article explains that when subordinates are involved in management, they are more likely to accept budget goals and therefore more motivated to participate in budget planning. Another aspect is that participation in budget preparation has a positive impact on budget adequacy. If the budget is decided unilaterally, the opposite will be true. This involvement motivates subordinates to be more proactive in achieving budget goals. From another perspective, subordinate participation in budgeting means that planning results are more realistic because subordinates have more accurate information about local conditions than superiors.

Authors: Allemy Fareshteh
Published: November 2024

Objectives: Ocular trauma is a major health issue globally, causing significant disability and vision loss. In Afghanistan, with its socioeconomic challenges and occupational risks, this study examined the incidence, demographics, causes, and visual outcomes of penetrating eye injuries among patients at Noor Hospital in Herat.
Methods: This descriptive case series study included 98 patients with ocular trauma at Noor Hospital, Herat, from October 2020 to March 2021, using a universal sampling method. Inclusion criteria were patients confirmed to have ocular trauma after thorough evaluation, while those without ocular trauma were excluded. Data collection involved visual acuity assessments, patient histories, and follow-up visits, with variables such as age, sex, residence, occupation, and visual acuity. The data were analyzed using Excel based on patient records, register books, and direct interviews.
Results: The study predominantly comprised male patients (83%), with the highest incidence observed among individuals aged 1-20 years (50%). Blunt objects were the primary cause of ocular trauma (24.5%), followed by penetrating trauma and physical conflict (16.3%). Visual impairment varied significantly, with normal or near-normal vision achieved in only a minority of cases (22.4%), whereas profound visual loss affected a substantial proportion (15.3%).
Conclusion: Young males are most affected by blunt trauma, highlighting the need for targeted prevention, safety education, and better access to protective eyewear. This insight helps improve ocular trauma treatment and reduce preventable vision loss, especially in socio-economically challenged regions. Future efforts should address occupational hazards and promote early interventions.

Authors: Allemy Said Naim Allemy , Saleh Noor Mohammad
Published: November 2024

Objectives: Mental health disorders, particularly anxiety and depression, impact a large global population. In Afghanistan, where socio-political instability and economic hardship are widespread, the issue is heightened. This study examines the prevalence and factors of anxiety, stress, and depression among outpatients in Herat.
Methods: This descriptive study, conducted with 385 outpatients at Hakim Farabi Hospital in Herat from December 23 to January 24, used the Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale-10 (DASS-10) for mental health assessment. Participants were over 15, and without severe mental illness or major health events like strokes or heart attacks. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS 27, with Pearson’s chi-square test and odds ratios for results evaluation. The study received IRB approval from Jami University, and participants gave informed consent.
Results: In this study, most individuals experienced mild or subclinical anxiety (89.6%) and depression (91.6%), with smaller percentages reporting moderate to severe levels. Demographic variables analysis revealed that women had higher levels of moderate/severe anxiety, stress (p=0.038), and depression (p<0.001) compared to men. Unemployment (p=0.029), addiction (p=0.042), and poor economic status (p<0.001) were associated with increased levels of anxiety, stress, and depression. However, education level and place of residence did not significantly impact these mental health outcomes.
Conclusion: The study reveals a severe mental health crisis in Herat, Afghanistan, with high rates of anxiety, stress, and depression, especially among women, the unemployed, and individuals of lower socio-economic status. These findings emphasize the urgent need for focused mental health interventions and policies to support vulnerable groups in Afghanistan.
Prevalence and Characteristics of Anemia in Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease at Herat Regional Hospital: A Descriptive Study (2018–2019)
Authors: Binesh Mohammad Hadi
Published: November 2024

Objectives: Anemia is common in patients with chronic kidney disease and reduces their quality of life. This anemia, caused by the kidneys' inability to produce erythropoietin, contributes to the progression of chronic kidney disease and increases comorbidities and mortality. Chronic kidney disease and end-stage renal failure reduce kidney function, which can lead to death if dialysis or kidney transplantation is not performed. Diabetes and hypertension are the main causes of End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD). The objective of this study is to investigate the prevalence and causes of anemia in chronic kidney disease patients at Herat Regional Hospital.
Methods: This descriptive study collected data from patient files, laboratory tests, echocardiography, patient registry, and the Health Management Information System (HMIS).
Results: Out of a total of 278 patients, 65.5% were male. Most patients were over 50 years old, with approximately 75.5% coming from Herat districts and neighboring provinces. Among chronic kidney disease patients, 39.20% had anemia along with type 2 diabetes, and 35.25% had anemia with hypertension. About 64.4% of patients did not receive erythropoietin, and 60.8% were not on hemodialysis.
Conclusion: This study shows that anemia is prevalent among chronic kidney disease patients, particularly among elderly men and rural residents. The findings highlight the need for improved access to treatments like erythropoietin and hemodialysis.

Authors: Yaqubi Ahmad Saeed
Published: November 2024

Objectives: Tobacco use in Afghanistan presents a significant public health concern despite the country's commitment to the World Health Organization's Framework Convention on Tobacco Control. This review explores the multifaceted impact of tobacco use, encompassing health, socio-cultural, economic, and regulatory aspects.
Methods: A comprehensive review of studies on tobacco use in Afghanistan was conducted using databases like PubMed and Google Scholar, including articles published between 2010 and 2024 in English, Dari, and Pashto. Studies were selected based on specific inclusion and exclusion criteria and reviewed using a narrative synthesis approach.
Results: The prevalence of tobacco use in Afghanistan ranges from 17.2% to 17.7% in adults, with higher rates among men (35.1%-44.2%) than women (3.4%-5.2%). Smokeless tobacco (Naswar) is also commonly used. Education, socioeconomic factors, and exposure to tobacco marketing were identified as key determinants. The economic burden of tobacco use, including healthcare costs and productivity losses, is significant but underreported. Regulatory challenges such as weak enforcement of tobacco control policies and low taxation on tobacco products further hinder progress.
Conclusion: Addressing tobacco use in Afghanistan requires a culturally tailored approach, strengthening regulatory frameworks, expanding cessation services, and engaging communities. This will help mitigate the health and economic burdens of tobacco use.

Authors: Susilawati Efi , Kurnia Heri
Published: November 2024

This study discusses the local wisdom values contained in the ondel-ondel art as part of the Betawi community culture in Jakarta. Ondel-ondel, which originally had a sacred function as a medium to ward off evil spirits, has undergone a transformation in function into a cultural icon and a means of entertainment, especially in the context of tourism and communal celebrations in Jakarta. The purpose of this study is to identify and analyze the local wisdom values in the ondel-ondel art and to understand how the Betawi community interprets and preserves this art in the midst of modernization. The research approach used is descriptive qualitative with data collection techniques through in-depth interviews, field observations, and literature studies. The results of the study show that ondel-ondel contains spiritual, social, and cultural values that reflect the identity of the Betawi community. Spiritual values are seen in the role of ondel-ondel as a symbol of protection; social values are reflected through togetherness and mutual cooperation in making and presenting ondel-ondel; while cultural values are reflected in the use of ondel-ondel as an expression of unique Betawi identity. However, commercialization and changes in the function of ondel-ondel in the modern era have obscured its original meaning, so that preservation efforts are needed so that local wisdom values are maintained. The conclusion of this study emphasizes the importance of the role of communities and governments in preserving ondel-ondel art through educational programs and cultural promotions that maintain its traditional values.

Essa técnica consiste em coletar células T do próprio paciente, modificá-las geneticamente em laboratório e reintroduzi-las no organismo para que combatam as células cancerígenas de maneira mais eficaz. Com a ajuda dos glóbulos brancos, as células modificadas atacam as células tumorais, tornando o tratamento menos invasivo e diminuindo os efeitos colaterais comumente associados à quimioterapia e radioterapia, como náuseas, cansaço, queda de cabelo e perda de apetite. Introduzida no Brasil em 2019, a terapia CAR-T está em desenvolvimento para ser oferecida gratuitamente pelo Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS), já que, fora do país, o custo pode chegar a cerca de US$ 1 milhão (aproximadamente R$ 4,8 milhões). Esse valor elevado faz com que muitos pacientes brasileiros, sem cobertura de planos de saúde, acabem desistindo do tratamento ou se endividando. A terapia CAR-T se destaca por ser menos agressiva ao organismo, proporcionando maior qualidade de vida aos pacientes, além de abrir novas perspectivas para o tratamento de cânceres hematológicos que não respondem às terapias convencionais. Com a expansão de seu uso e o desenvolvimento de políticas públicas, essa abordagem pode se tornar mais acessível e uma importante alternativa no combate ao câncer.
An Empirical Study on the Determinants of Housing Prices in Beijing and Model Optimization
Authors: Lai Xiang
Published: November 2024

This paper aims to investigate the potential factors influencing housing prices in Beijing and optimize the prediction model. Using the Kaggle dataset "Housing Price in Beijing", multiple factors affecting housing prices were examined, including square footage, bedroom count, bathroom count, follower count, the presence of an elevator, and subway proximity. The study initially established a multiple linear regression model (MLR) and then optimized the model through variable selection and hypothesis testing. The final model indicates that square footage, bathroom count, follower count, elevator presence, and subway accessibility significantly impact housing prices. Additionally, subway proximity positively correlates with housing prices, while increased square footage is negatively associated with price, possibly due to lower unit costs for larger properties and the higher market demand for smaller homes. By validating the model's performance using a test dataset, the final model demonstrates effective predictive capability and offers insights for future model improvements.
Communicative Language Teaching and Contextual Teaching and Learning: Challenges and Prospects in Chinese High-School English Education
Authors: Luo Xinyi
Published: November 2024

This paper explores two widely employed language teaching methods in second and foreign language education: Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) and Contextual Teaching and Learning (CTL), and analyzes their applicability in Chinese high-school English curriculum. CLT primarily focuses on developing students' "communicative competence", which encompasses linguistic, sociolinguistic, textual, and strategic abilities. CTL, on the other hand, emphasizes connecting academic knowledge to students’ personal, social, and cultural contexts, helping them understand and apply what they learn in real-life situations. While the goals of both CLT and CTL align with the objectives of the Chinese high-school English curriculum, which aims to enhance students' ability to use language effectively in real-life contexts, there are significant challenges in implementing these approaches in practice. Major obstacles include an exam-oriented educational system, teacher-centered classroom models, large class sizes, and insufficient teacher training in both CLT and CTL methods. The paper concludes that although CLT and CTL have the potential to enhance students' language competence, their widespread and effective application in Chinese high-school English classrooms remains limited due to these barriers.

Objetivo: Evaluar la prevalencia y características de los quistes detectados en el sulcus iridociliar de pacientes miopes que fueron evaluados para la implantación de una lente fáquica intraocular.
Materiales y métodos: Se diseñó un estudio retrospectivo de una serie de casos donde se incluyeron pacientes miopes que habían realizado su evaluación preoperatoria para la implantación de una lente fáquica intraocular de cámara posterior entre enero y octubre de 2021 en Clínica de Ojos Dr. Nano, Olivos, Argentina. La anatomía del sulcus fue evaluada mediante biomicroscopía ultrasónica. Los quistes detectados se registraron y, de acuerdo a su distribución por cuadrantes, se clasificaron en quistes simples (un solo cuadrante) y quistes múltiples (definidos como quistes en más de un cuadrante). Se analizaron los datos y en cada paciente también se consideró la condición de uni o bilateralidad y se describieron aspectos demográficos, como la edad, el sexo y el equivalente esférico.
Resultados: Se evaluaron 86 ojos de 43 pacientes cuya edad fue de 32,0 ± 7,9 años (21-54). El valor medio del equivalente esférico fue de -10,44 ± 4,8 D (-2,5 to -27,5). Se detectaron quistes en al menos un ojo en 24 pacientes (55,8%) de 11 mujeres y 13 hombres. Del total de los 86 ojos se encontraron quistes en 41 ojos (47,6%); de forma bilateral en 34 ojos (82,9%) y unilateral en 7 ojos (17,1%). En relación con su distribución: en 17 ojos (41,5%) fue simple de un sólo cuadrante y en 24 ojos (58,5%) fue múltiple (2 cuadrantes en 21 ojos y 3 cuadrantes en 3 ojos). En las mujeres se detectaron 19 quistes: 8 pacientes eran bilaterales, 2 casos solo en el ojo derecho y 1 en el ojo izquierdo. En la población de hombres se encontraron 22 quistes, 9 bilateralmente, 4 casos sólo en el ojo izquierdo y ninguno unilateral en el derecho.
Conclusión: Los quistes en el sulcus fueron detectados con una alta prevalencia en los pacientes miópicos que realizaron un examen preoperatorio para la implantación de lente fáquica intraocular. La mayoría de los ojos tenían quistes en múltiples cuadrantes. La relevancia clínica de esta información deberá estudiarse.

Published: November 2024

Breast cancer remains a prevalent global health issue, accounting for approximately 2.3 million new cases and 670,000 deaths worldwide in 2022. Early detection and accurate diagnosis are crucial to improving patient outcomes, as delayed identification can lead to severe complications. Advances in machine learning (ML) have facilitated improvements in cancer diagnosis, with various algorithms enhancing predictive accuracy. This study proposes a novel ensemble model for breast cancer classification, utilizing 31 features from the University of Wisconsin Breast Cancer dataset. We applied six algorithms—K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN), Support Vector Machine (SVM), Logistic Regression, Random Forest, Gradient Boosting, and XGBoost—and combined them with ensemble techniques, specifically Hard Voting, to develop a high-accuracy model. The model was evaluated on classification performance metrics, achieving improvements in accuracy, precision, recall, and F1 score. Results indicate that the proposed ensemble model outperforms individual classifiers and other ensembles, showing potential as a reliable tool for early breast cancer detection.
