Information is important to facilitate administrative and bureaucratic work in the era of increasingly rapid technological development. Information from all recorded activities of institutions and agencies is stored in archive form. Arranging or managing the archives of applicants for passports and residence permits at the Immigration Office is the task of the Information Technology Subsection. It is known that currently Kantor Imigrasi Kelas II Non TPI Blitar is still using the conventional filing system, where for archiving it uses more paper, so there are lots of piles of archive files for passport and residence permit applicants that fill the archive room. The purpose of this research is to create a website- based Electronic Archive to reduce the risk of file accumulation in the archive room of Kantor Imigrasi Kelas II Non TPI Blitar. This study uses the System Development Life Cycle (SDLC) application development method which is a way of developing a software that provides the possibility to create a structured and systematic system (sequentially) starting at the stages of requirements analysis, system design, implementation, testing, development, and maintenance. The results of this research application "Arsip Elektronik Berbasis Website pada Kantor Imigrasi Kelas II Non TPI Blitar" has been successfully created using the SDLC design method. The existence of digitizing the archive files of applicants for passports and residence permits, will facilitate the archive search process and save the use of archive space at Kantor Imigrasi Kelas II Non TPI Blitar.

Authors: Raya Assala , Hussein Firas , Kamis Atieh
Published: October 2022

Background: Breast cancer is the most common tumor among women worldwide, and elevated pretreatment serum ferritin levels are a poor prognostic factor in patients with many malignancies, but the relationship between serum ferritin levels and disease prognosis in breast cancer patients remains unclear. Aim: To estimate the relationship between pretreatment serum ferritin, overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) in breast cancer patients. Patients and Methods: We evaluated pretreatment serum ferritin in 96 newly diagnosed breast cancer patients who have been followed up for 27months. Statistical analysis was performed using MedCalc (version 19.1.6). A p value <0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: Among patients with serum ferritin levels less than 146ng/ml, the estimated mean PFS survival was 26.561±0.328 months compared to 15.2121.396 months for those with serum ferritin levels 146ng/ml or higher (p=0.001). The estimated mean OS survival for patients with serum ferritin levels < 146ng/ml was 27 months, compared to 23.5331.224 months for patients with serum ferritin levels ≥ 146ng/ml (P=0.002), their 27 months OS survival rates were 68.75% and 27.08%, respectively (p=0.008). Conclusion: Serum ferritin can be useful prognostic factor for PFS and OS in breast cancer patients, and elevated levels of it at 146ng/ml or more are a poor prognostic factor for 27month survival rates.

Published: October 2022

Stroke is one of the leading causes of death worldwide, particulary ischemic stroke. Tissue hypoxia due to decreased blood flow to the brain causes loss of energy, failure of homeostasis, and cell death. Pharmacological treatment based of the Food and Drug Administration is recombinant tissue plasminogen activator given intravenously. In addition, neuroprotectant agents given to prevent the expansion of the infarct area. Screening of a new compound as a drug candidate with in silico simulation to predict an interaction between 7,8-dihydroxiflavone (DHF) as a neuroprotective agent by stimulating a protein kinase through PI3K signaling pathway and inhibiting the activity of prolyl hydroxylase enzyme. The protein target was obtained from Protein Data Bank using the structure of PI3K (1E8X) and prolyl hydroxylase 2 (5OX6). Ligand structure of 7,8 dihydroxyflavone was obtained from PubChem. Those structures are analyzed for the pharmacokinetic and protein-ligand interaction with the help of software such as PyRx, PyMol and BIOVIA Discovery Studio. 7,8 DHF has a much lower bond energy (-8.6 Kcal/mol) when it binds to PI3K compared to the native ligand (-7.5 Kcal/mol). The same bond energy results between 7,8-DHF and its native ligands (-7.5 kcl/mol) when binds to prolyl hydroxylase. As an adaptive response to hypoxia caused by ischemic stroke, the findings are likely to boost the downstream signaling pathway and enhance HIF-1α expression.

Published: October 2022

Itopride hydrochloride (ITH) is currently used for the management of acute prokinetic disorders. In recent research, the determination of ITH in plasma, a new economic, prompt, and isocratic RP-HPLC bioanalytical approach, was established. This method is valid for quantifying the low concentration of drugs in plasma trials which is the demand to be improved. A HILIC column with a separation phase of MeOH: Buffer (30:70 v/v) and a flow with one millilitre per minute, as well as a UV sensor at 258nm, was used to achieve chromatographic high separation. The pharmacokinetic parameters were determined using blood from rabbits after administration of oral suspension containing ITH particles (1mg/kg). The retention time for both ITH and ornidazole, an internal standard (IS), was found to be 6.249min and 4.843 respectively. The statistical interpretation of the results was confirmed. The linearity assortment of the drug was 2-15µg/mL, and the recovered ITH and IS were found to be 100.1% and 99.8% with accuracy, whereas the analysis of the sample was 99.87%, respectively. In addition, the oral pharmacokinetic parameters were successfully analyzed by using this method for ITH and OND. The highest plasma concentration (Cmax) of ITH was 6.805 (mcg/mL) at (Tmax) 1hr and half-life was found at 4.022 hours, correspondingly. The present analytical method has been efficiently used to study the pharmacokinetics of drug combinations.

The assembly of hybrid maize varieties with high production and early maturity is the right step to increase maize production on Madura Island, Indonesia. Assessment of the fifth generation selfing maize genotype aims to obtain potential parents that can be used in assembling hybrid maize varieties. This study aimed to evaluate the fifth selfing generation of Madura local maize, Indonesia. The study used a randomized complete block design with ten genotypes as treatment and repeated three times, so there were ten experimental units. The ten genotypes were G1= Tb-1-10-5, G2 = Tb-2-21-5, G3 = EL-1-26-5, G4 = EL-3-2-5, G5 = DL-2-11-5, G6 = DK-1-5-5, G7 = CTK-1-4-5, G8 = DBR-1-12-5, G9 = KRA-1-2-5, dan G10 = GL-1-6-5. Characters observed in this study were plant height, days of 50% tasseling, days of silking, harvest age, ear length, ear diameter, 100-kernel weight, and production per hectare. The eight characters observed in ten fifth-generation selfing maize had a low coefficient of variance (0.16-6.62%), indicating that the variation within the genotype was small. The genotypic coefficient of variation (GCV) is greater than the phenotypic coefficient of variation (PCV) in all observed characters. The heritability value in the broad sense of all observed characters is 0.81-0.99 (high). Production per hectare has a significant positive correlation with plant height, days to 50% tasseling, days to 50% silking, harvest age, ear length. G1, G2, and G5 were potential genotypes that could be used as parents in the assembly of high-production and early-maturity maize varieties.

A fenntartható energiagazdálkodás szociális dimenziói
Authors: Kármán-Tamus Éva , Pálvölgyi Tamás
Published: October 2022

Magyarországon a szilárd biomassza, főként a tűzifa az egyik legelterjedtebb háztartási tüzelőanyag, különösen vidéken, a kertvárosokban, illetve a szegényebb társadalmi csoportok körében. Kutatási célunk a háztartási szilárd biomassza hasznosításának többszempontú fenntarthatósági elemzése. Tanulmányunkban részletesen elemezzük a tűzifához és energiaszegénységhez kapcsolódó szociális dimenziókat, azaz a fenntarthatóság-vidék-szegénység komplex témakör kapcsolódó kérdéseit, továbbá áttekintjük a szakpolitikai környezetet, valamint jog- és stratégiaalkotási javaslatokat fogalmazunk meg. Kutatásunk egyik kiinduló következtetése, hogy a lakossági villamosenergia- és földgázárak önmagukban nem képezik az energiaszegénység egyedüli hajtóerőit, hiszen az energiaszegénységgel sújtott háztartások jellemzően szilárd biomassza-alapú fűtést használnak. Magyarországon a 2010-es évek közepe óta a tűzifa ára tartósan elszakadt a földgázétól, miközben kb. 1 millió család képtelen kitörni a több szempontból is problémás tűzifahasználatból. Jelen cikk keretei között vizsgáltuk, hogy a tűzifához kötöttség milyen környezeti problémákat von maga után többek között a települési levegőminőség és az egészségkárosító környezeti kockázatok szempontjából. Eredményeink alapján megállapíthatjuk, hogy téves az a közvélekedés, hogy a fatüzelés ártalmatlan, sőt környezetbarát. A bemutatott komplex problémakör megoldásához elengedhetetlen a szociál-, az energia- és a klímapolitika összehangolása, amelyben az önkormányzatoknak kitüntetett szerepe lehet. Olyan vidékfejlesztési stratégia kidolgozását látjuk szükségesnek, amely a vidéki térségek fenntartható energiarendszereinek kialakítását állítja a fókuszba.

A tanulmány a magyar pálinkaágazat gazdasági teljesítményét vizsgálja. A Nemzeti Adó- és Vámhivatal, illetve az M&A Research Catalyst adatbázisa alapján összesen 461 főzdét sikerült beazonosítani a 2009–2017-ig terjedő időszakban. A tanulmány célja, hogy gazdasági teljesítmény szempontjából (árbevétel, üzemi eredmény, adózott eredmény) különböző dimenziók mentén vizsgálja meg a bérfőzdéket, valamint a kereskedelmi főzdéket. Az eredmények azt mutatják, hogy jelentős különbségek vannak a két főzdetípus között. A kereskedelmi főzdék üzemméretben, alkalmazotti létszámban és életkorban is felülmúlják a bérfőzdéket. Továbbá az ökonometriai vizsgálatok eredményei is azt mutatják, hogy a kereskedelmi főzdék gazdasági teljesítménye kedvezőbben alakult a vizsgált időszakban, ami elsősorban a mérethatékonyságban rejlő lehetőségek jobb kihasználásának köszönhető.

Published: October 2022

Seagrass ecosystems in Tablolong waters have important values related to the availability of fish resources. However, this seagrass meadow experiences a lot of fragmentation in the form of empty sand areas without vegetation (bare sand), both in the form of channels and tidal pools which provide many small living spaces (microhabitats) that are interesting for aquatic ecology studies. The aim of this research was to analyze the diversity and dominance of fish species in the seagrass beds and bare sand channels, as well as to determine the dominant species of seagrasses in the seagrass beds. The study was conducted through direct observation by catching fish specimens using gillnets (# 1.5 inches and #1.25 inches, @ length 20 m x height 1.5 m) and scoop nets three (3) times sampling with time intervals. 7-10 days in the time period of October-November 2021. The results showed that the seagrass beds in the Tablolong Waters are classified as heterospecific from at least 6 (six) seagrass species with an average density of all species reaching 219.2 stands/m2 and an average cover of 40.0% (medium level of cover) where Thalassia hemprichii was the dominant seagrass species in terms of density value (more than 50%of total species) and cover value almost 40% of total species. The fish collection obtained as a whole consisted of 22 fish species from 17 families with 86 individuals where the fish community in the seagrass beds (9 species, 8 families, 17 individuals) was recorded to be lower than the fish community in the empty sand tunnel (13 species, 11 families, 49 individuals), each with a ratio of 41%:59% in species, a ratio of 47%:65% in families and a ratio of 43%:57% in the number of individuals. The status of the fish species that dominates was the occasional visitor fish of 90% (20 species) compared to seasonal visitor fish and whole life resident fish of 5% (1 species). The index value of fish species diversity in seagrass beds was moderate (Hâ 2) which was lower than the fish community in empty sand tunnels which was high (Hâ 4) and the total number of fish species on Tablolong beach was high (Hâ > 4). The fish species dominance index value showed that in both fish in seagrass beds (D 0.28), in empty sandtunnels (D 0.11), and the whole area (D 0.25) in Tablolong waters there were no dominant fish species. So that the structure of the fish community tends to be stable or the diversity of fish species tends to be high.

Under the rapid development of Phnom Penh, the pollutants control from different sources intothe main natural wetland, Tamouk lake is consequentially required for its ecosystem as well as thesustainable development. Therefore, this work aims to investigate the distribution of thepollutants from the urban canal and aquaculture farm to Tamouk lake through the analysis ofwater quality in both dry and rainy seasons. Twelve sampling sites, i.e., two from urban canals, onefrom aquaculture farm, and nine from the investigated lake, were selected for their water qualityassessment. As the results from both seasonal analyses, the maximum concentrations of totalsuspended solids (TSS), chemical oxygen demand (COD), and ammonia (NH3+) of the effluentfrom aquaculture farm and urban canal to the lake range of 107-134 mg l-1, 76-184 mg l-1, and 8.5-14.9mg l-1 in the dry season and 105-263mg l-1, 75-140 mg l-1, and 7.5-9.2 mg L-1in the rainy season,respectively. In addition, TSS and COD in the lake were only 72-93 mg l-1and 46-77mg l-1 of bothseasons, respectively, whereas NH3+ was estimated to be 7-14 times lower than that in urban canaland aquaculture farms. According to the result analysis, the lakeâs water pollution was mainlycontributed by the discharge from the urban canal and aquaculture farm in both seasons. Higherrelease of pollutants from many sources during the rainy season could compensate for rainwaterâsdilution effect, resulting in the high remaining of organic and nitrogen in lake water. Hence, toreduce the risk of the lake water to humans and ecosystems, the effluent from aquaculture farmsand urban water is highly suggested to have a proper treatment before discharging to the lake.
STRATEGIES TO MITIGATE THE OCCURRENCE OF SAND AND DUST STORMS IN THE KURDISTAN REGION OF IRAQ
Authors: HAMA-AZIZ ZANIST
Published: October 2022

A sand or dust storm is a meteorological phenomenon common in arid and semi-arid regions,causing great damage to the economy, human health, and the environment. Sand and dust stormsoccur more frequently with higher intensity now in Iraq and Kurdistan Region of Iraq (KRI) thanthey did in the past. This study proposes several pragmatic strategies to authorities in order toreduce the occurrence of sand and dust storms in KRI. The main cause of occurrence is associatedwith the decline in water resources in the region. Therefore, cooperation with neighboringcountries is likely to be the most effective strategy. Control of a sharp rise in population andgreenery expansion are other suggested mitigation strategies. Implementing these strategies bylocal and regional governments may reduce the occurrence of sand and dust storms to a certainextent. However, they cannot be eradicated as some of them originate from far countries andcontinents. Nevertheless, signs of climate change including sand storms are increasingly reported,we are, therefore, responsible to seek mitigation and adaptation strategies to the changes.

Ethics verses between legislation and the legalization of deterrence
Authors: Abdullah Maha Talib
Published: October 2022

An integrated religion such as Islam set for humanity a wonderful and sublime moral system through its noble verses (legislation and the legalization of deterrence) that guided and directed the person who believes in it to the good of this world and the bliss of the hereafter. The morals verses were a good source of his behavior but the deterrence and codification verses were the impenetrable barriers to his lapses and his crimes. Because the Creator (Y) knows best about the human soul that he designed and created as God says: " And a soul that he created *So inspired it by its immorality and its piety"[1]. This is what the researcher sought to prove and clarify by reflecting on the verses of the Noble Qur’an in connection with this topic. This is the conclusion of the research which includes an introduction, two topics, and a conclusion. We call upon God, The Highest, the Great, to benefit us from what we read and write in correcting those who deviate from the morals of those noble verses and the sober rules that God commanded; because the morals of the individual went, the nation went with it.

Authors: Butola Jitendra , Samant Sher
Published: October 2022

The present study examines the effect of different environmental conditions on seed germination, growth and survival of the seedlings and identifies the best propagation condition for mass multiplication of Withania somnifera Dunal. The seed germination in laboratory condition was significantly (P<0.05) higher (83%) as compared to that in polyhouse (31.11%) and open beds (24.44%); however, no germination was found in wasteland. The overall performance of the species was best under polyhouse condition compared to open nursery beds. The plant height was strongly and positively correlated (P<0.01) with all the morphological traits excluding number of branches and number of primary roots, as an indicator of healthy seedlings of this species. Considering high medicinal and commercial values as well as natural availability of this species in sub-tropical region of Kullu valley, Himachal Pradesh, promotion of this species in cultivation has been suggested.

Published: October 2022

Background: Establishing a symptom onset timeline for stroke patients is one of the essential aspects of thrombolytic therapy. Implementing an MRI protocol can potentially increase the rate of thrombolytic therapy and expand treatment to patients who would otherwise be excluded.Objective: This project aimed to increase the rate of thrombolytic therapy by incorporating an additional layer of evaluation within the established acute stroke code process for patients with wake-up stroke (WUS) or unknown symptom onset stroke.Methods: Patients 18 years of age and older who presented as WUS eligible for thrombolytic therapy underwent acute MRI. Patients with a diffusion weighted image and fluid attenuated inversion recovery mismatch (DWI-FLAIR Mismatch) on MRI were treated with thrombolytic therapy.Results: Chi-square test of independence showed patients who underwent the MRI protocol (N = 35) had a higher proportion of alteplase (tissue plasminogen activator,tPA) treatment when compared to a similar sample (N = 44) from 2019 acute stoke logs; ꭓ2 (1, N = 79) = 8.16, p = .006. Six patients received thrombolytic. Safety showed no symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage (sICH) or deaths.

CHRISTOLOGY OF JOHN’S GOSPEL IN RESPONSE TO THE ISLAMIC UNDERSTANDING OF JESUS CHRIST
Authors: Mathew Jisha Sam
Published: October 2022

The Orthodox Christian view on the Deity of Jesus Christ is one of the central areas of disagreement between Muslims and Christians. According to traditional Christian belief, God took on human form in the person of Jesus Christ who is fully human and fully divine. Since Islam forbids the idea that God might become incarnate and take on human form, especially for the express purpose of dying for sinners who have chosen to be lost, this doctrine is completely repugnant to Muslims and is unfathomable to them. One of the key issues that has split Christians and Muslims for hundreds of years is this one. There should be no doubt that Jesus Christ is portrayed as God in many biblical texts for anyone who examines the Bible. In this article, I am building a case for the deity of Jesus from the Gospel of John to respond to the main claims against the deity of Jesus.

„Wyrazić niewyrażalne”. Psychologiczne tajemnice duszy romantycznego twórcy w "Utworach francuskich" Zygmunta Krasińskiego
Authors: Śmieciński Włodzimierz
Published: October 2022

W artykule przedstawiono problem dotyczący psychologii twórczości. Problematyka psychologiczna, obok filozofi cznej, w wieku XIX znajdowała się w samym centrum myśli, przenikała wszystkie dziedziny życia. Podstawowym słowem kluczem dla tej dziedziny stało się w romantyzmie pojęcie „dusza” – termin bardzo wieloznaczny, skupiający w sobie wiele różnych znaczeń i semantycznych odcieni. Psychologiczna „dusza” – podobnie jak w filozofii słowa klucze: Bóg, absolut, wieczność, nieskończoność – odnosi się do idei (jakości) nieuchwytnych, w sposób ludzki niedostępnych, wprowadzających na grunt romantycznej poezji pierwiastek „niewyrażalnego”. Z taką właśnie próbą wyrażenia „niewyrażalnego” – zdaniem Autora artykułu – mamy do czynienia w Utworach francuskich Zygmunta Krasińskiego. Obrazy duszy, tkwiące głęboko w tych tekstach, stanowią odważną poetycką próbę eksploracji sfery jakości nieuchwytnych, właśnie „niewyrażalnych”. Przenoszą nas w „uniwersum nadnaturalne, gdzie duch się wciela w kształty wzniosłe lub przeraźliwie zrodzone w nieświadomości, pozwalające nam wniknąć w świat najbardziej irracjonalny, urojony”. Jednakże „dusza” Krasińskiego, jak konstatuje Autor, pozostaje w tych tekstach nie-do-poznana; więcej – powinna pozostać nie-do-poznana. Zaklęta w swym nie-do-poznaniu zaświadcza nie tylko o nowatorstwie i artyzmie fragmentów francuskich, ale także stanowi o istocie poezji romantycznej i poezji w ogóle.

Pierwsza bitwa pułku, do której doszło 3 września 1939 r., doprowadziła do przełamania linii frontu przez oddziały niemieckie, rozproszenia i odrzucenia 8 DP, w tym13 pp, w kierunku Modlina. Bitwa pod Gruduskiem nosi ślady porażki dla 13 pp, jednakże nie doprowadziła do całkowitego rozbicia tej jednostki, która przegrupowana w Modlinie prawadziła działania aż do śmierci swojego dowódcy. Głównym założeniem artykułu jest próba odpowiedzi na pytanie o to, co doprowadziło do katastrofalnego rezultatu działań 13 pp pod Gruduskiem w nocy z 3 na 4 września 1939 r.

Authors: Jia Wei
Published: October 2022

With the rapid development of the cultural entertainment market and the mobile Internet industry, the way of contemporary college students chasing stars has undergone fundamental changes, and "fan culture" has been derived under the operation of commercial capital, which has a certain negative impact on the values of college students. The psychological needs of college students in their growth and development have not been effectively guided, the long-term tendency of school education to focus on intelligence and less morality, the tension between parent-child relationships caused by improper family education methods, and the excessive publicity and exaggeration of entertainment culture in the social environment may be factors such as contribute to or exacerbate this effect. Therefore, this paper proposes an analysis and research on the current situation and countermeasures of college students' values under fan culture. College students should stay away from the negative influence of "fan culture", and all sectors of society need to strengthen research, actively cooperate, and make concerted efforts. Effectively guide and meet the normal psychological needs of college students, comprehensively strengthen value education, and scientifically guide family education.
