Authors: Lotfi Chaabani , Sifeddine Ksouri , Yosra Doulemi , Aicha Whibi
Published: October 2024

Injection of botulinum toxin type A into both rectus muscles is an alternative to surgery and has given good results in children with infantile esotropia. Reducing the angle of deviation can help restore binocular vision, which in turn will promote motor fusion and allow better control of the strabismus and may even lead to eventual healing. We report the result after 6 months of injection of botulinum toxin in the medial rectus in 6 children with infantile esotropia.

The study of corrosion in aluminium packaging is fundamental to ensuring the quality and safety of the product. The varnish layer present on metal packaging aims to minimize any interaction between the food or drink and the metal, as well as minimizing the corrosion process. The acidic nature of soft drinks, as well as the ions present in solution, such as phosphates, benzoates or chlorides, play a strong role in the oxidative process of aluminum. This study evaluated the corrosion of the body of aluminum cola cans. The beverage was first characterized and the results obtained were: pH =2.5; 7.5 oBrix; chloride concentration of 0.17g/L, acidity 0.17 %m/m; density 1.04 g/mL and concentration of reducing sugars was 11.3 %m/m.  The corrosion of aluminum in model solutions with different concentrations of citric acid and NaCl was studied via linear polarization for samples with and without varnish. The statistical analysis carried out, via factorial design 23 with a triplicate at the center point, showed that the corrosion rate (CR) of the sample with varnish was significantly influenced by temperatures above 45 oC in the range of chlorides studied. On the other hand, the CR of the sample without varnish was strongly influenced by the combination of high temperatures and high chloride concentrations.  Removing the varnish resulted in a higher activation energy (AE = 67.48 kJ/mol) when removed with acetone and then polished with sandpaper compared to the sample with varnish (AE = 88.92 kJ/mol). From a kinetic point of view, this showed the protective effect of this layer and its effectiveness against corrosion. The ΔHo and ΔGo activation parameters of the process were positive, showing that corrosion is an endothermic process with increased disorder when the varnish is removed, respectively. It is therefore important to buy the product with the packaging in good condition to guarantee the integrity of the protective layer and its quality, since oxidation of the aluminum can lead to products that compromise the quality of the food or drink.

Green Choices: The Environmental Impact of Consumption Habits
Authors:   AEM ( Azerbaijan Science Center ), Balakhanova Gumru
Published: October 2024

Abstract Ecological footprint is an important indicator used to measure the impact of human activities on ecosystems. This measure reflects how people consume natural resources, the waste they generate, and the state of biodiversity. In modern times, reducing the ecological footprint is an important issue for protecting ecosystems and ensuring sustainable development. The first aspect of the ecological footprint is the efficient use of natural resources. Proper management of water and energy aims to minimize the waste of these resources. The use of renewable energy sources, such as solar and wind power, helps reduce carbon emissions. This approach not only preserves the health of ecosystems, but also meets people's energy needs in a more sustainable way. The second important issue is waste management. Reducing waste in production processes, promoting recycling and recirculation of used materials contributes to reducing the environmental footprint. Each individual can help this process by making small changes in their daily life; for example, reducing the use of plastic and choosing more environmentally friendly products. Biodiversity conservation is also an important part of the ecological footprint. The health of ecosystems is related not only to the availability of natural resources, but also to the diversity of flora and fauna. Implementation of conservation projects to protect rare and endangered species ensures the sustainability of biological diversity. This also affects the strengthening of the relationship between people and ecosystems. Combating climate change is another important step in reducing our ecological footprint. Applying strategic approaches to reduce the carbon footprint is one of the most important tasks facing modern society. It also includes strategies for adapting to the effects of climate change. The active participation of the society in these issues makes it possible to achieve more effective results at the global level.
Exploration of Lexical Collocations Employed in EFL Students’ Essay Writing
Authors: Nguyen Trang
Published: October 2024

This study investigates the use of different types of lexical collocations and common errors made related to these collocations in essay writing.  The participants included EFL students who wrote an essay as a class writing test in 60 minutes. A 5-level Likert close-ended survey questionnaire was designed to collect quantitative data regarding students’ perceptions of the categories of lexical collocations they have used and the difficulties they have encountered in using these.  To get qualitative data for the study, students’ essays were then analyzed to identify errors related to different categories of lexical collocations. The results revealed that adjective-noun collocations were the most frequently used by the participants while lexical collocations related to adverbs were used least frequently. Errors related to the morpheme -s such as the omission of morpheme -s in plural nouns and overuse of morpheme -s in singular or uncountable nouns were most commonly made by students, followed by the wrong choice of component words and non-existent lexical collocations. Pedagogical implications are then discussed to assist students in enhancing collocational use in essay writing.

Authors: Jati Lintang Permata , Manda Gusganda Suria
Published: October 2024

This article explores the resilience of the banking sector in the face of rising interest rates and the global economic slowdown caused by the recent measures of the Federal Reserve System (The Fed). Based on quantitative data with descriptive analysis and data visualization, the results show that the banking sector remains strong despite the volatile stock market. Notably, Bank Central Asia (BBCA) shares show higher stability and lower risk than Silicon Valley Bank (SIVBQ) shares, which experienced significant fluctuations due to bankruptcy in March 2023. Investors tend to be more attracted to BBCA because of its stability. This study also emphasizes the importance of a thorough understanding of the internal and external factors that affect stock value, as well as the importance of prudence in investment selection to reduce the risk of loss. Future researchers are advised to expand the scope of the study by including data from more institutions and exploring other factors that affect stock performance.

Theta Pairing of Hypersurface Rings
Authors: Rahmati Mohammad Reza
Published: October 2024

In this article, we prove a conjecture on the positive definiteness of the Hochster Theta pairing over a general isolated hypersurface singularity, namely: Let R be an admissible isolated hypersurface singularity of dimension n. If n is odd, then  is positive semi-definite on . The conjecture is expected to be true for the polynomial ring over any field. We prove this conjecture over any field of arbitrary characteristic. We also provide two different proofs of the above conjecture overusing the Hodge theory of isolated hypersurface singularities and structural facts about the category of matrix factorizations. The first proof overis a more complete and developed version of a former work of the author. We have extended some of the former results in this article. The second proof overis quite direct and uses a former result of the author on Riemann-Hodge bilinear relations for Grothendieck residue pairing of isolated hypersurface singularities.

Published: October 2024

Aim: Triticale is a well adaptable crop, tolerant of disease and abiotic stresses, and able to grow with good yields even in poor soil, thus representing a good choice to develop a new industrial agri-chain in Italy in a sustainability contest, to cope with its soil problems due to incoming desertification.
Methods: Two triticale elite lines were grown in marginal lands in controlled field experiments. The lines were harvested at two different development stages, namely green mass and seeds, and suitable standard protocols were applied to test their potential to produce bioethanol in line with the emerging bioenergy processes.
Results: The protocols applied were able to obtain bioethanol with a good yield from both feedstocks. In particular, very efficient fermentation kinetics was observed using seed feedstock, with a sharp curve between 15 h and 24 h, reaching 84% of the total alcohol obtained (final time 72 h).
Conclusions: Therefore, the results of this research point to new sustainable potential for industrial applications of triticale crops in Italy. Furthermore, the high activity of the endogenous amylolytic enzymes, mainly α-amylase, and the high starch content suggest the potential use of triticale in other industrial applications, like the brewing industry.
Effects of an Interactive Handwashing Lecture on First-Year Thai Nursing Students: A Pretest-Posttest Study
Authors: Nachaphun Denijs  , Sirichokchatchawan Wandee
Published: October 2024

Background: Hand hygiene is essential in healthcare to prevent infections and ensure patient safety. The World Health Organization highlights hand hygiene as a key measure to reduce healthcare-associated infections. However, adherence to hand hygiene protocols is often inadequate, with a low compliance rate. First-year nursing students are at a critical stage in developing foundational practices. Traditional teaching methods have shown limited success in achieving long-term adherence, necessitating the need for more interactive and engaging teaching methods. Therefore, this study aims to evaluate the effects of an interactive lecture on the handwashing knowledge of first-year nursing students.
Methods: This study employed a quasi-experimental one-group pretest-posttest design involving 60 first-year Thai nursing students at Boromarajjonani College of Nursing. After four weeks of interactive lectures, participants completed a pretest and posttest to assess changes in hand hygiene knowledge and understanding of WHO Five Moments for Hand Hygiene. The intervention included visual demonstrations, hands-on practice, and real-time feedback. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and paired t-tests to determine the intervention’s effectiveness.
Results: The study showed significant improvements in both handwashing knowledge and understanding of WHO Five Moments for Hand Hygiene post-intervention. The mean score for handwashing knowledge increased from 5.41 (SD = 1.06) to 6.62 (SD = 1.10) (t(59) = 7.154, p < 0.001). Similarly, the mean score for understanding WHO Five Moments for Hand Hygiene improved from 4.32 (SD = 0.68) to 4.97 (SD = 0.84) (t(59) = 5.60, p < 0.001). Correct responses to specific handwashing questions also increased significantly.
Conclusions: The interactive handwashing lecture intervention significantly improved nursing students’ knowledge and understanding of hand hygiene practices. These findings support the integration of interactive educational strategies in nursing curricula to improve hand hygiene compliance and patient safety. Future research should address study limitations, such as sample size and long-term knowledge retention, to further validate these results.

Authors: Nyan Linn  , Montakarn Chuemchit  , Chaweewon Boonshuyar
Published: October 2024

Background: Social support and quality of life (QoL) are crucial for the well-being of individuals. Myanmar women migrant workers in Thailand represent a vulnerable population, yet there are limited studies on social support and QoL among these migrants.
Methods: This cross-sectional study investigated associations between social support and QoL among Myanmar women migrant workers in central and northern Thailandthrough multistage sampling using a structured questionnaire. Social support was measured using the Medical Outcome Study Social Support Survey, and QoL was assessed using the WHOQOL-BREF. Multiple linear regression was analysed to find the association between social support and QoL, adjusting for sociodemographic variables.
Results: Among 575 participants, they had an average overall social support score of 61.73 ± 16.47, with low support = 24.35%, moderate support = 46.43%, and high support = 29.22%. The average overall QoL score was 90.54 ± 13.23. Higher social support was positively associated with QoL (B = 4.781 for moderate support and B = 9.721 for high support, p < 0.01). Higher education and easier access to emergency finances were also positively associated with QoL.
Conclusion: Tailored social support interventions are recommended to enhance QoL among Myanmar women migrant workers in Thailand. Community nurses play a critical role in these interventions by providing education, facilitating access to resources, and fostering supportive networks.

The community has the right to utilize public open spaces. Therefore, the government has the responsibility to provide public open spaces and provide supporting facilities that can be used by the community according to their designation. Manado City in implementing Law Number 26 of 2007 has provided public open spaces for the community. The availability of public open spaces has been utilized by the community for sports activities, recreation or simply interacting with others. The open spaces that are often used by the people of Manado City besides the Blessing Park and the coastal reclamation park are also the Sparta Tikala Field, the Wenang National Unity Park, and the KONI Sario Field. However, in its management and utilization, several complaints are still found from the community. This study was conducted to identify and analyze community satisfaction in the management and use of green open spaces in Manado City. The research design used is qualitative with a descriptive approach. Data were obtained by conducting interviews with the community who use green open spaces and the managers of green open spaces. Observations were made by visiting the existing green open spaces directly and observing all the facilities available and the activities carried out by the community when they were in the green open space. Secondary data collection was conducted by utilizing Google Scholar and ResearchGate to obtain references that can support the achievement of research objectives. Data analysis was conducted using the stages of data reduction,

In the educational context of the 21st century, where critical thinking and problem-solving are essential skills, the Problem-Based Learning (PBL) model offers numerous advantages. In contrast to traditional learning models that only focus on knowledge transfer, PBL encourages students to solve real environmental problems, promotes active learning, and encourages the development of critical thinking skills to solve complex global issues. Environmental issues such as global warming, pollution, and other issues require students' ability to integrate various information and analyze, synthesize, and formulate holistic and comprehensive solutions. This research discusses the implementation of the Problem-Based Learning (PBL) model and aims to determine its effect on students' critical thinking skills in discussions related to the environment. The type of research applied was a quasi-experiment with a non-equivalent control-group design pre-test and post-test and the experimental class subjects were 29 and the control class was 32 students as a result of cluster random sampling. Data were collected in the form of essay tests and observations and then analyzed to determine significant differences using the t-test. The results of this study show that there is a significant difference in critical thinking skills with a value of p = 0.004 α 0.05 between the experimental class and the control class, where the experimental class gets a higher score of 71 compared to the control class of 61. In the event that learning involves interdisciplinary and abstract material such as environmental topics and aims to develop students' critical thinking skills, the PBL model can be a teacher's choice in implementing learning.

Geography is a science that deals with all activities and symptoms found on earth. At the junior high school level, geography is integrated into integrated social studies subjects. Geography is also an important social science to be implemented in lower secondary schools, but in its application there are also factors for its success, including learning behavior and student involvement. The objectives of this research are1) Analyzing the effect of learning behavior on student geography learning results, 2) Analyzing the effect of student engagement on geography learning results, and 3) Analyzing the effect of learning behavior and student engagement on geography learning outcomes. This research used quantitative method. The population in this study were students from grade 7 to grade 9 at SMP Negeri 2 Kemalang totaling 584 students. The sample in this study consisted of 237 students. SThe sampling was conducted using the stratified random sampling technique. Data were obtained using observation, documentation, and questiinnaires. The data analysis techniques used in this study include descriptive statistic, simple correlation tests, and multiple correlation analysis.

Study of MHD Casson Nanofluid Flow Over an Inclined Stretching Sheet in Porous Media with Thermal Slip, Chemical Reaction and Radiation Effects
Authors: Ganjikunta Aruna , Koka Ramanjana
Published: October 2024

In the current study, the behaviour of Casson nanofluid subjected to magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flow across an inclined stretched sheet within a porous medium has been investigated numerically. The governing equations are transformed into ordinary differential equations with the corresponding boundary conditions by employing similarity transformations. The solutions of essential equations are achieved by using the 4th-order Runge-Kutta method combined with the shooting technique. The novelty and innovative contribution are showcased through illustrative graphs that scrutinize the effect of factors that impact the velocity, temperature, and concentration profiles within assorted flow scenarios. The primary focal points of the study encompass examining variations in magnetic field strength, angle of inclination, and suction intensity that affect the fluid's velocity moderation, while improved porosity and radiation parameters lead to a rise in fluid temperature. Higher Biot numbers correlate with an increase in fluid temperature. The implications of positive coefficients of heat transfer are crucial across various fields to ensure efficient thermal management ensuring optimal performance and longevity. The numerical data presented is aligned with earlier published results for comparison. Furthermore, the variations in skin friction, Nusselt, and Sherwood numbers driven by different parameters are displayed in tables to highlight significant modifications.

Extracurricular or co-curricular is a crucial aspect that improvies students’ learning experience and producing a student that is well equipped with knowledge, ethics, positive attitudes, and value-added skills which are beneficial in their life and work. In order to produce quality graduates, Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM) has long initiated the execution of holistic student development through involvement in co-curricular activities. However, little is known about UTM Foundation students’ involvement in co-curricular activities provided by the university. Therefore, this study aims to determine UTM Foundations demands for extracurricular activities. A quantitative survey was conducted in which questionnaires were used as the instrument to collect data from 121 respondents who were randomly selected among UTM Foundation students. Collected data was analysed using descriptive analysis which involves frequency, percentage, mean, and standard deviation. Findings from this study indicate there is a demand for co-curricular activities amongst UTM Foundation students since it can give many positive impacts on students’ learning experience and students’ personality development. The study also suggests the implementation of co-curricular activities as an integral part of the programme as it complements the regular formal curriculum.

Tuberculosis (TB) remains a public health concern in South Africa, particularly among young adults. This study aimed to assess and investigate the attitudes, practices, and health-seeking behaviours of students at the University of KwaZulu-Natal (UKZN) regarding TB. The research provides valuable insights into the awareness of TB among students, their preventive practices, and their healthcare-seeking behaviours related to the disease. A cross-sectional design was employed, utilising a structured questionnaire to collect data from a representative sample of UKZN students on the Howard College campus. Data analysis involved descriptive statistics, such as frequencies and percentages, to summarise responses. Inferential statistics, including chi-square tests, were used to explore associations between variables and assess the knowledge, attitudes, and health-seeking behaviours of respondents. The study, which included 221 postgraduate and undergraduate students, revealed that participants were well aware of the symptoms, causes, and modes of TB transmission. The descriptive analysis indicated that 97.7% of respondents exhibited good knowledge about TB, with a total mean score of 0.977 and a standard deviation of 0.149. However, regarding health-seeking behaviours and practices, 53.4% of respondents demonstrated poor health-seeking behaviours, in contrast to 46.6% who exhibited good practices, with a mean score of 0.466 and a standard deviation of 0.499. Although all respondents indicated they would visit health facilities if they suspected they had TB, there was evidence of low screening practices and suboptimal health-seeking behaviours. Based on these findings, the study suggests leveraging social media to disseminate knowledge about TB to promote its prevention and treatment.
