Background : Tropical infections are the leading cause of
acute undifferentiated febrile illnesses AUFI. While they
are commonly suspected and tested through protocolized
workup, sometimes the infections occur concurrently.
Patients with concurrent infections present with atypical
findings that delay diagnosis and treatment.
Case Report : This case report describes a rare case of
triple coinfection with an atypical clinical presentation. This
patient presented with a fever in May and tested positive for
Malaria. The patient was started on anti malarial therapy.
However, further workup revealed pancytopenia along with
an abnormal renal and liver profile. Repeat testing for AUFI
revealed concurrent scrub typhus as well as Leptospirosis.
The treatment was accordingly adjusted, which led to
recovery.
Conclusion : Patients presenting with AUFI and having a
residence or history of travel to endemic areas should be
investigated for tropical infections. Moreover, a high index
of suspicion should be borne in mind in cases of AUFI patients
presenting with atypical signs and symptoms before ruling
them out.

The Intersection of Demographics and Immunization Beliefs among Nursing Mothers
Authors: A. J. Akinniyi,
Published: November 2024

Background: This research aims to elucidate the influence of demographic factors on nursing mothers' beliefs regarding childhood immunization in Ondo State, Nigeria. By identifying key variables, the study seeks to inform public health strategies that could enhance vaccination rates and improve child health outcomes. Methodology: A cross-sectional survey design was employed, utilizing a structured questionnaire to collect data from 400 mothers attending postnatal clinics in selected health facilities across Ondo East and West Local Government Areas (LGAs). The sample size was determined using Cochran’s formula, ensuring a representative sample. Multistage sampling techniques were applied, with health facilities grouped into clusters for systematic random sampling. The questionnaire, validated for face and content, consisted of four sections addressing study variables. Pre-testing was conducted with a Cronbach alpha reliability score of 0.69 for beliefs respectively. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 22.0, employing descriptive and inferential statistics. Results: Among respondents aged 21-30 years, 36.3% exhibited positive beliefs about immunization, though no significant correlation with age was found (r=0.103; p>0.05). Conversely, education significantly influenced beliefs; 23.9% of those with tertiary education demonstrated higher positive beliefs (r=0.163; p<0.05). Religious affiliation did not significantly correlate with immunization beliefs (Chi-square=0.104; p>0.05). A significant portion of nursing mothers expressed skepticism regarding vaccination safety, with 41.7% strongly disagreeing that vaccines cause more harm than diseases they prevent. Conclusion: The findings underscore the urgent need to address nursing mothers' beliefs about childhood immunization in Ondo State. Education emerged as a critical factor influencing acceptance, while age and religion were less significant. Targeted educational interventions are essential to combat misconceptions about vaccine safety and efficacy, leveraging insights from the Health Belief Model and the Theory of Reasoned Action to enhance health literacy and vaccination coverage in the region.

Published: November 2024

The dual wavelength spectrophotometry is developed and validated for simultaneous estimation of various combinations of two drugs. Dual wavelength method is used to eliminate interference due to absorbance of other drug at sampling wavelengths for one drug. Two wavelengths are selected for each drug in such a way that the difference in absorbance is zero for the second drug. The principle for dual wavelength method is the absorbance difference between two points on the mixture spectra is directly proportional to the concentration of the component of interest and independent of interfering component. The Following review article contains a brief regarding dual wavelength spectrophotometry introduction, principle, examples and application of different pharmaceutical, organic and inorganic compounds.
Pharmacology of natural compounds found in clinical trials used for ameliorating/preventing Cancer
Authors: Kumari Priyanka , Singh Arjun
Published: November 2024

In the field of oncology, the use of herbal medicines as a supplemental or alternative treatment option has been generally accepted (Catharanthus roseus, Podophyllum peltatum L., Taxus brevifolia Nutt., Taxus baccata, etc.). As a result, several brand-new cytotoxic chemicals are discovered each year in plants, opening up fresh avenues for the treatment of cancer. The examination of naturally occurring molecular entities that could benefit the pharmaceutical business is a focus of many researchers. The search for clinical efficacy validation follows the discovery of drugs with anticancer activity in preclinical trials. Only 29 of the 240 anticancer medicines licensed in the previous 40 years are entirely synthetic, which could be attributed to the advantages of natural substances such as lower side effects and the ability to affect numerous Signaling pathways involved in the carcinogenesis process. In addition, synthetic compounds with natural pharmacophores that imitate the effects of natural products have been licensed as anticancer medications throughout the past ten years. Since the start of cancer research, phytochemicals have been a focal point because they were some of the first antineoplastic medicines found (e.g., leucovorin in 1950, carzinophilin in 1954, vincristine in 1963, actinomycin D in 1964, etc.). Additionally, their research is still ongoing today. It is crucial to note that natural substances are used both as adjuvants and chemotherapeutic agents in the treatment of cancer. By summarizing the three aspects of natural chemicals' anticancer action, this review offers a fresh viewpoint on their use in the field of oncology. Chemotherapeutic drugs because of their inherent antitumor effects, chemopreventive drugs, and sensitizers for multi-drug resistance are the first three categories.

HOW CLIMATE CHANGE AFFECTS COTTON AND WHEAT CROPS IN GREECE THE LAST FIFTEEN YEARS
Authors: Antonopoulos Rafael-Ioannis , Liakos Vasileios , Vurlas Panagiotis , Alamanis Nikolaos
Published: November 2024

This paper presents the undoubted change of the Earth’s temperature since the past three centuries (18th, 19th and 20th respectively). Climate change and its impact on agriculture and water resources have become a global concern, however, despite that, how does climate change effect common crops, like cotton and wheat?By utilizing and comparing the data of the temperature of the year 1978 and the latest year of the database (2022), the average temperatures are 15,15 °C (59,27 °F) and 16,75 °C (62,15 °F) respectively. The precipitation rate has not been reduced. Although the changes in precipitation are not stable due to specific factors, the increase of the temperature tends to cause increase crop evapotranspiration (ETc) which eventually leads to more precipitation. Since the temperature has been increased, the duration of each growing season is shorter, due to the fact that the desired temperature has been achieved earlier. Increased temperature has an immediate effect on the increase of ETc and therefore at the crop coefficient factor.

Published: November 2024

This study aims to determine the impact of the nanotechnology-based foliar Pistachio Mix Plus NPA fertilizer on the yield and quality of sweet cherries. The research has been conducted using the 'Kordia' sweet cherry variety grafted on the Gisela 6 rootstock and planted at a distance of 4x1 m. Between 2023 and 2024, the foliar fertilizer was used during four phenophases of flower bud development in a dose of 2.5 l/ha. The fruit yield increased by 14.9-30.1%, when the Pistachio Mix Plus NPA was used 2.5 l/ha three times, in comparison with the yield of the sweet cherry trees which were not treated with the fertiliser. The foliar fertilization with microelements has increased the number of fruits with a diameter larger than 30 mm by 64.6-65.4%. Thus, the fruit yield and quality can be improved in sweet cherry orchards using nanotechnology-based foliar fertilizers during three fruiting phenophases, namely pink-white bud + petal shedding + the beginning of ripening.
EFFECTS OF HYPOTHERMIC STRESS APPLIED TO SEEDS BEFORE GERMINATION ON THE PARAMETERS OF THE PHOTOSYNTHETIC APPARATUS OF MAIZE PLANTS
Authors: Cauș Maria , Platovschii Nicolai
Published: November 2024

In maize (Zea mays L.) plants grown from seeds pre-treated with negative temperature stress (NTS) of -4°C for 16 hours before germination, followed by growth in dark and light conditions, the content of chlorophyll pigments (Chl) in leaves, the chlorophyll content index (CCI) and some gas exchange parameters were assessed. Combined application of NTS and illumination conditions to seedling growth showed that 6-day-old NTS maize seedlings grown in the dark were etiolated, contained carotenoids and traces of Chl a and Chl b. Whereas in green seedlings grown in the light, NTS decreased Chl a, Chl b and carotenoids. NTS also reduced the CCI in1st, 2nd and 3ed leaves of plants grown in the light for 17 days. While in the 1st, 2nd and 3ed leaves of control plants that grew in the light, the CCI changed dynamically, showing a maximum on the 9th day of growth and then decreased. The influence of NTS also affected the parameters of gas exchange in leaves, causing a decrease in CO2 exchange, real CO2 absorption and total respiration.
Heavy Processing
Authors: Cowan T.L. , Rault Jas
Published: November 2024

What happens when we take the joke of “lesbian processing” seriously as a research method? Heavy Processing does just this, by tracing the multi-directional genealogies and vast affinities of processing-heavy methods as innovations in information technologies (operating systems, central processing units, network designs). Part methods handbook, manifesto, and survival guide, this book opens up the fields of information studies, data studies, digital media studies, and digital humanities to critical digital methods, information technologies, and infrastructures: trans- feminist and queer (TFQ) cultural protocols and ways of working.

Cowan and Rault offer heavy processing as a maximalist research method, consistent with a long and proud lesbian-leaning TFQ tradition of making a mountain out of a molehill. Heavy Processing draws together activist, artistic, and scholarly work that is both about and not about digital materials to critically reorient digital research methods calibrated for accountability, relationship-building, and trust as measures of scholarly rigor. A raging romp of a methods manual, Cowan and Rault offer an alternative to mass digitization in the form of TFQ processing for analog and born digital materials. They write for students, faculty, and researchers, as well as for information, cultural heritage, and tech-sector professionals; for anyone interested in digital media and feminist, queer, and transcultural studies; and for anyone who has ever been studied.

Authors: Jamal Mohammed Yawuz , Ahmed Angham , Asaad Sara , Naem Israa
Published: November 2024

Background: Self-medication puts the benefits of antibiotics at risk. This has resulted in underdeveloped countries facing an increased economic burden, treatment failures, growth of bacteria that are resistant to antibiotics, and a higher population risk of exposure to and infection by such pathogens. The aim of this study was to assess knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding antimicrobial use and resistance among a group of final-year pharmacy students and medical students at universities in Baghdad, Iraq.

Methods: This was a descriptive cross-sectional and institution-based study conducted between September and November 2023. Knowledge, attitudes and practices regarding antibiotic use were assessed using a self-administered questionnaire.. In addition, the students were assessed on how they felt that their medical education had prepared them to become pharmacists and physicians after graduation.

Results: The total number of students was 642 (328 medicine and 314 pharmacy). The survey shows that although 94.7% of the students had good knowledge, only 65.4% of them actually practiced it. There was a significant (p < 0.05) difference in the total attitude score according to the gender of the participant. In other words, female participants had significantly higher positive attitudes than male participants. There was a significant (p < 0.05) difference in the total attitude, behavior, and practice scores according to the college type of the participants. In other words, pharmacy students had significantly higher total attitude, behavior, and practice scores than medical students.

Conclusion: The students’ level of knowledge was more than sufficient, but they need more education to improve their practice. Significant work still needs to be done to focus on improvements.

Byzantium merupakan kekaisaran penerus setelah Romawi yang dikenal sebagai pusat peradaban pada masa itu. Kaisar Konstantinus I mengubah Byzantium menjadi konstantinopel yang kini dikenal sebagai negara Turki. Kekaisaran Romawi Timur dan Persia memiliki sejarah yang cukup panjang dan terkenal, kedua kekaisaran ini memiliki wilayah otoriter yang cukup besar. Tidak bisa dipungkiri bahwa ada keterkaitan erat antara kekaisaran ini dengan jazirah Arab. kekaisaran Romawi yang menganut pada agama Kristen Ortodoks memiliki sejarah panjang dengan agama Islam, hal ini disebabkan karena Islam tumbuh dan berkembang di Jazirah Arab yang dipengaruhi oleh Romawi dan Persia. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengupas sejarah yang dipegang oleh Raja Heraclius. Metode yang digunakan adalah penelitian kepustakaan yang juga dikenal sebagai library research dengan pendekatan kualitatif. Hasil yang ditemukan bahwa Heraclius dikenang sebagai pemimpin yang penuh dengan kontradiksi, karena kombinasi dari keberanian militer ia miliki, usaha diplomatik yang ambigius, dan konteks politik internal yang kompleks. Ia juga terkenal dengan kekuatan militer yang dimilikinya hingga mampu mengalahkan kekaisaran Persia saat itu, Tetapi setiap kemenangan pasti ada kekalahan, kekaisaran Romawi jatuh di tangan kaum muslimin pada peperangan Yarmuk dan ini merupakan akhir dari masa kekuasaan Heraclius.
The Possibility of Talaq Performers Criminalization in Indonesia: An Essential Lesson from India
Authors: Suryani Irma , Budia Warman Arifki , Roni Efendi  , Tenrilawa Dian Furqani
Published: November 2024

The absence of sanctions against instant triple talaq and out-of-court divorce in Indonesia presents significant challenges for justice on gender equality and women's rights in today’s modern society. This study has the primary objective of analyzing the issues surrounding talaq divorce regulations in Indonesia by reflecting on the regulations in India. The study employs a combination of normative legal research methods, a legislative approach, and a comparative approach, focusing primarily on the marriage laws of Indonesia and India. The findings indicate that the practice of ‘triple talaq’ or instant divorce in India has been banned, with criminal sanctions imposed, including a three-year imprisonment for violators. In contrast, the regulations on talaq in Indonesia remain administrative in nature, requiring individuals to perform talaq in court, with no sanctions established for those who violate the regulations. The lack of criminal sanctions for talaq in Indonesia stems from its dual legal system and the absence of comprehensive guidelines on the procedural aspects of talaq, compounded by the limited resources of religious courts. In addition, the social stigma attached to divorce further complicates the issue. In India, the imposition of criminal sanctions for triple talaq aims to challenge the rigidity of the law and prioritize the rights of women and children. The reconstruction of regulations on divorce can be achieved through three components of criminal sanctions, comprising legal substance, legal structure, and legal culture. Also, it is essential to take humanitarian considerations and local wisdom in Indonesia into account when implementing such criminal sanctions.

Authors: Atul  , Sharma Shivesh , Punam
Published: November 2024

Germplasm of three economically important nitrogen fixing tree species Acacia catechu, Alnus nitida and Dalbergia sissoo of Himalayas were procured from their classified seed zones. The seed stocks were tested to find out the effect of month of seed collection, storage, scarification treatment and incubation temperature on the germination behaviour of these species. In case of Alnus nitida, significantly higher germination was obtained in cold water treatment and no significant differences were noticed by incubating seeds at three different temperatures. Similarly Acacia catechu had significantly highest germination in seeds procured during February, treated with acid and kept at 25 or 30°C in 1-3 and 4-6 months of storage periods. Whereas, in Dalbergia sissoo, the seeds procured in January stored for three months, treated with cold water and subjected to 20°C showed significantly higher germination. But, with the increase in storage time and cold water treatment, maximum germination was obtained only when seeds were subjected to 30°C. Germination potential of seeds varied with the month of collection and storage period had a significant effect on it.

Published: November 2024

The agricultural productivity degradation due to toxic weed is one of the various causes of economic losses in developing countries. Ageratum conyzoides L. is major crop weed that is a threat to native flora as it competes with crops for the same resources. The current study was undertaken to investigate the allelopathic action of A. conyzoides on germination and seedling growth of Phaseolus vulgaris L. and Cicer arietinum L. Aqueous extracts of weed at various concentration (control, 10%, 20%, 30%, 50%) were obtained to assess their impacts on test crops. In this experiment, the maximum reduction in seed germination was 37% and 50% for P. vulgaris and C. arietinum respectively. The higher reduction in plumule length (3 cm) and radicle length (2 cm) of P. vulgaris and plumule length (3 cm) and radicle length (2 cm) of C. arietinum was observed at 50% concentration of weed extracts. The phytotoxicity of the A. conyzoides for both crops were increased with elevated concentration and decreased at the low concentration of weed extract. Therefore, the present results revealed that the weed phytotoxicity was concentrations depended. An appropriate weed control strategy is essential to mitigate weed impacts on crops.

Authors: Song Ruiban
Published: November 2024

This study investigates the influence of children's factors, specifically children's age and gender, as well as personal factors including individual age and income, on the remarriage behaviors of divorced women. Drawing upon the Chinese Family Panel Studies (CFPS) database spanning from 2010 to 2020, administered by the Institute of Social Science Survey (ISSS) at Peking University, the author conducts an empirical analysis. By employing data cleaning and merging techniques, individual heterogeneity biases are controlled. The Logistic Regression Model is utilized as the primary analytical tool. The findings reveal that maternal age exerts a significant positive effect on remarriage behaviors, particularly pronounced in specific years such as 2012, 2014, and 2016. In contrast, children's age generally shows a negative impact, indicating that as children grow older, the likelihood of their mothers remarrying decreases. However, the effects of income and children's gender are found to be relatively limited.

Authors: Zhang Haokang
Published: November 2024

Against the backdrop of global economic integration, economic cooperation between China and ASEAN has become increasingly close. As an economic organisation in Southeast Asia, ASEAN has enhanced the economic strength and international influence of the entire region by promoting economic integration among its member countries. This study examines the interaction between China and ASEAN countries in the area of transport cooperation and the potential impact of these cooperation projects on bilateral trade volumes through case studies of the China-Laos Railway (CLR) and the Kunming-Bangkok Expressway (KBA). The study uses annual import and export statistics provided by the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) to reveal the direct and indirect impacts of transport infrastructure improvements on trade flows by comparing the growth rates of China's imports and exports of goods with the partner countries before and after the co-operation with the growth rates with ASEAN countries. The results show a significant trade-boosting effect of transport infrastructure cooperation between China and ASEAN countries. The opening of the CLR and the KBA not only improved the efficiency and quality of goods transport, but also promoted the economic development of the countries along the routes. Through these transport infrastructure projects, the trade volume between China and ASEAN countries has increased significantly, the trade structure has been optimised, logistics efficiency has been improved, industrial complementarity has been enhanced, and substantial economic benefits have been brought to both sides.

Social Media Shadows: Unveiling the Hidden Struggles of African American Youth on Facebook
Authors: Li Tianjiao
Published: November 2024

Abstract: While Facebook has become a central element of digital culture, its impact on the mental health of African American youth remains underexplored, particularly in relation to intersecting marginalized identities. Despite extensive research on social media and youth well-being, there is a significant gap in understanding how Facebook contributes to mental health challenges like depression and anxiety, especially for African American adolescents who experience systemic racism and discrimination both offline and online. This paper addresses these shortcomings by examining the intersection of race, socio-economic status, and the pervasive influence of social media on African American youth. Utilizing the Ecological Systems Model and Cultural Historical Activity Theory (CHAT), this study critically analyzes existing literature to uncover how Facebook exacerbates mental health struggles through online discrimination, cyberbullying, and harmful social comparison. Furthermore, the research highlights the underrepresentation of African American LGBTQ+ youth in current studies, emphasizing the need for intersectional approaches. Findings reveal that while Facebook offers opportunities for connection and identity exploration, it also intensifies mental health challenges due to frequent exposure to online racism and social exclusion. This study concludes by advocating for targeted interventions, including digital literacy programs, supportive online communities, and improved content moderation, to mitigate the negative mental health impacts on African American youth in the digital age.
