Published: September 2024

The llambina (Potamorhina altamazonica) is one of the most commercialized scale fish in the middle and upper basin of the Putumayo River in the tri-national zone between Colombia, Ecuador and Peru. However, despite its importance, there is very little biological information on this species to guide fisheries management in this sector of the Peruvian Amazon. For this purpose, 336 specimens collected in fish outlets and fishing areas near the ‘El Estrecho’ City between 2020 and 2021 were analyzed. The reproductive parameters were determined, as well as the sex ratio, the first size at sexual maturity and the gonadosomatic index. Among the main results, it was observed that the sex ratio of P. altamazonica showed significant differences (x2 0,05) assuming an overall ratio of 1,9:1 in favor of females. It is recommended to establish the minimum catch size at 22,5 cm (LT) for females and 22,1 cm for males, respectively. The gonadosomatic index of P. altamazonica was higher between October and February. It is concluded that the reproduction parameters are influenced by the hydrological period of the Putumayo River.
Probiotic Supplementation: A Promising Preventive Strategy for Dental Caries
Authors: Ali Radwan , Murad Ali H. , AL sultani Zeena
Published: September 2024

Dental diseases are widespread health problems encountered globally. Tooth decay is one of the most widespread oral health issues globally. Key factors contributing to the development of dental caries include inadequate oral hygiene, the presence of specific carbohydrates in the diet, dental biofilm formation, high levels of cariogenic microbes, reduced salivary flow, insufficient fluoride exposure, gingival recession, genetic predispositions, and neglect of personal dental care. Various preventive strategies have been employed to lower the risk of developing dental caries. Probiotics are live microorganisms that, when taken in appropriate quantities, provide health benefits to the host. They are acknowledged as potential supplementary treatments for various diseases. This manuscript reviews recent research on the role of probiotics in preventing dental caries and explores the potential mechanisms behind their effects. Literature reviews show that regular consumption of probiotic products significantly lowers the risk of dental caries by inhibiting cariogenic bacteria and promoting beneficial microbes in the oral cavity. The beneficial effects of probiotics are likely due to their ability to buffer salivary pH, produce bacteriocins and enzymes (such as dextranase, mutanase, and urease), and compete for adhesion and colonization on tooth surfaces. Additional research is needed to evaluate the effectiveness of long-term probiotic supplementation in controlling dental diseases and to assess how probiotic use during childhood affects the risk of developing caries.

Authors: Alsaady Noor , Alsaady Anfal , Salman Hawraa , Alreda Zainab , Mohammed Zahraa
Published: September 2024

Introduction: Pyridine has a liquid state, bad odor, pungent taste, toxic effects, and has the ability to mix with alcohol, water and some sperms, and it has many effects in the event of severe exposure such as suffocation. Methods: In this work, a new series of tetrazole derivatives is synthesized by reacting sodium azide with Schiff bases derivatives, which are prepared by condensation reaction between some pyridine derivatives (2-amino- 5-chloropyridine, 2-amino-4-methyl pyridine) and some aromatic aldehydes (dimethyl aminobenzaldehyde, p-aminobenzaldehyde, p-chlorobenzaldehyde, p-bromobenzaldehyde, and salicylic aldehyde). Result: All the resulting compounds were characterized by FT-IR and milting points. The study of the biological activity of Schiff base derivatives and tetrazole derivatives against E. coli shows that all derivatives give positive results at different diameters, but the compounds (2,6,10) give a lower inhibition at concentrations of 100 mg/ml, as well as the compounds (2,3,5,7,9) give a lower inhibition at concentrations of 75 mg/ml. The compounds (6,8,10) give lower inhibition at concentration (100 mg/ml) against S. aureus, as well as the compounds (1,3,6,8,10) give lower inhibition at concentration (75 mg/ml). Conclusion: It was shown during the process of preparing the compounds that the difference in the groups substituted for the same compound leads to a difference in the percentages, reaction time, and biological activity of the resulting compounds.

Authors: Mohammed Mokhles , Jabber Haider , Abdul Jabbar Fatima
Published: September 2024

Thorough research has been conducted on marine algae, with a specific emphasis on their potential health advantages. Scientists have discovered and separated many constituents from marine algae that have the potential to be used in medicine. One example is alginate oligosaccharides, which are small polysaccharides with low molecular weight that are present in the cell walls of brown algae. These chemicals have many health benefits, such as reducing inflammation, fighting against microorganisms, preventing oxidative damage, inhibiting tumour growth, and modulating the immune system. Due to their little toxicity, lack of immunogenicity, and capacity to degrade naturally, they are very well-suited for use in biomedical applications. Alginate oligosaccharides have the ability to undergo chemical or biochemical changes in order to enhance their biological activity and potential for use in medicinal applications. This study provides a succinct summary of the attributes of alginate oligosaccharides, the techniques used to modify them, and highlights their significant health-enhancing benefits.

Context: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) has been extensively studied in recent years, but the optimal dietary patterns for improving this condition remain unclear. Evidence Acquisition: Therefore, this umbrella review aimed to summarize the available evidence from meta-analyses on the relationship between various dietary patterns and NAFLD. Results: Two independent researchers identified published meta-analyses of interventional and observational studies that investigated the relationship between dietary patterns and NAFLD by searching electronic databases up until March 2023 and extracting relevant information. The pooled effect size of dietary patterns on NAFLD was evaluated using the standard mean difference (SMD) with a 95% confidence interval (CI). Fourteen meta-analyses met the inclusion criteria. Conclusions: All NAFLD-related outcomes, including hepatic steatosis, Fatty Liver Index (FLI), liver stiffness, and liver enzymes, were significantly affected by a calorie-restricted diet. Similarly, following the Mediterranean diet had beneficial effects on improving these outcomes. The findings support the role of a calorie-restricted diet and a Mediterranean diet in improving NAFLD, alongside the treatment protocol for these patients.

Background: Infertile women not only face physical challenges but also experience a range of psychological problems throughout the diagnosis, treatment, and course of their disease. Objectives: This study aimed to examine the effects of acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) on distress tolerance, flourishing, and purpose in life of infertile women. Methods: An interventional design with a pre-test and post-test with a control group was utilized in this research. The population consisted of infertile women undergoing treatment at infertility clinics in Isfahan city from February 20, 2023, to July 30, 2023. A total of 36 infertile women were randomly selected by convenience sampling based on inclusion and exclusion criteria and assigned into two equal groups—control and interventional—using simple random sampling (n = 18). The instruments used in this study included the Distress Tolerance Questionnaire by Simmons and Gaher (2005), the Flourishing Questionnaire by Soleimani et al. (2015), and the Purpose in Life Questionnaire by Crumbaugh and Maholick (1964). The interventional group received 8 sessions of ACT, while no intervention was implemented for the control group. At the end of the last treatment session, the participants took a post-test, and the data were analyzed using SPSS software version 23 at two levels of descriptive and inferential statistics. Results: The demographic findings of the sample group indicated that the average age in the interventional group was 29.94 years, and in the control group, it was 30.50 years. Results showed that the mean scores of distress tolerance, flourishing, and purpose in life in the interventional group improved in the post-test phase compared to the control group (P < 0.05). Based on the results of multivariate covariance analysis, there is a significant difference between the groups in terms of distress tolerance, flourishing, and purpose in life (P < 0.05). Conclusions: Acceptance and commitment therapy appears to be helpful in improving psychological problems associated with infertility in infertile women. Therefore, counselors and psychologists can use this method to support infertile women.

Published: September 2024

разработанный в Санкт-Петербургском горном университете метод наслаивания разноразмерных молекул аммониевых и кремнийорганических соединений на металлах – перспективный способ гидрофобизации и стабилизации поверхностных свойств дисперсных металлических материалов. Проведено сравнение гидрофобности образцов на основе порошка меди марки ПМС-1, обработанных в парах модификаторов в смесевом или последовательном режимах. Для физико-химического обоснования механизма гидрофобизации поверхности проведено квантово-химическое моделирование и оценка электрофильно-нуклеофильных свойств изолированных молекул модификаторов в программном комплексе HyperChem, а также их адсорбционного взаимодействия с кластерной модельной поверхностью в программном комплексе Gaussian 09. Установлено, что значения энергии адсорбции лежат в диапазоне 64–127 кДж/моль, что соответствует химическому взаимодействию молекул этилгидридсилоксана и четвертичных соединений аммония (ЧСА) с металлом. Установлено, что образцы, содержащие в поверхностном слое металла модификаторы с различными электрофильно-нуклеофильными свойствами характеризуются лучшей гидрофобностью, а также меньшим количеством гидрофильных центров поверхности. Также, установлена ключевая роль ЧСА в гидрофобизации поверхности за счет обеспечения более сильного гетероатомного взаимодействия с металлической поверхностью и формирования подготовительного ЧСА-подслоя для структурно подобных функциональных групп.

the method of layering different-sized molecules of ammonium and organosilicon compounds on metals, developed at the St. Petersburg Mining University, is a promising method for hydrophobization and stabilization of the surface properties of dispersed metal materials. A comparison was made of the hydrophobicity of samples based on PMS-1 copper powder processed in pairs of modifiers in mixed or sequential modes. To provide a physicochemical substantiation of the mechanism of surface hydrophobization, quantum chemical modeling and assessment of the electrophilic-nucleophilic properties of isolated modifier molecules in the HyperChem software package, as well as their adsorption interaction with a cluster model surface in the Gaussian 09 software package, were carried out. It was established that the adsorption energy values lie in range 64–127 kJ/mol, which corresponds to the chemical interaction of ethylhydride siloxane molecules and quaternary ammonium compounds (QAC) with the metal. It has been established that samples containing modifiers with different electrophilic-nucleophilic properties in the surface layer of the metal are characterized by better hydrophobicity. Also, the key role of QAC in the hydrophobization of the surface has been established by providing a stronger heteroatomic interaction with the metal surface and the formation of a preparatory QAC sublayer for structurally similar functional groups.
Use Your “Mother Tongue” to Change the World
Authors: Medlicott Sheryl M. ,   Eastern Illinois University
Published: September 2024

On the fiftieth anniversary of the publication of Ursula Le Guin’s novella The Word for World is Forest, the Anarres Project for Alternative Futures posed a question: what can this text offer to activists engaged in environmental and social movements today? In this response I propose we can learn from this book by noticing the ecofeminist perspective underlying its morality. In The Word for World is Forest, Le Guin demonstrates clear links between behaviours that discriminate against women and “others,” including indigenous people, and the degradation of the environment. But by tracing this ecofeminist ethic out from the content of the text to its form, I show that, despite the ecofeminist ideas within the text, the novella is still structured according to the masculinist patterns of thought it seeks to challenge. I consider this text in the context of Le Guin’s own critical engagement with the genres of science fiction and utopia through her essays and later fiction. Just as Le Guin deconstructed then remade these genres in order that her writing might better present her ideas without contradiction, I invite activists to explore how their practice might change if they consciously rescind the logic of man’s mastery over nature and others that has shaped the Western worldview for centuries. I speculate that if in our work we use our “mother tongue” and speak from outside of the masculinist paradigm that Le Guin critiques in The Word for World is Forest, it may set a course to enacting real change.
Inductive Insights into Preserving Euler Characteristics in Topological Transformations
Authors: Kunwar Rajendra , Laxmi G. C
Published: September 2024

Topological transformations involve altering the shape or structure of surfaces without changing their fundamental properties. One key property is the Euler characteristic, a topological invariant that remains constant under continuous deformations. This study employs an inductive approach to explore how various transformations can preserve the Euler characteristic, providing insights into the underlying principles. The study aims to deepen our understanding of the relationship between topological transformations, changes in the number of vertices, edges, and faces, and their impact on Euler's characteristics. The study investigates the transformation of various objects, such as spheres and polyhedra, within the Euclidean plane, deriving generalizations about preserving Euler's characteristics. Furthermore, the article explores the ideas of proving Euler's theorems related to topological transformations in the Euclidean plane through an inductive approach. It focuses on the conceptual development of topological transformations, utilizing various visual representations and providing specific arguments. The article enhances the understanding of the concepts and principles involved in topological transformations while preserving Euler's characteristics by employing visual aids and illustrations. The article emphasizes explicitly the inductive derivation of the application of Euler's theorem in determining the genus of surfaces. The inclusion of visual representations and specific arguments further enhances the understanding and conceptual development of these topics.

Pemahaman konsep manusia dalam al-Qur’an berperan penting untuk memberikan gambaran tentang konsep hakikat manusia secara utuh. Pada akhirnya, penemuan hakikat manusia akan dapat dijadikan sebagai landasan untuk menemukan dan merancang system Pendidikan Islam yang ideal pula. Dalam kajian ini peneliti menggunakan  metode library research (penelitian pustaka). Di mana peneliti melakukan penelusuran terhadap literatur-literatur berupa buku-buku, hasil penelitian, serta jurnal-jurnal, baik nasional maupun internasional untuk selanjutnya dianalisis secara mendalam untuk menemukan kesimpula. Dari hasil kajian yang dilakukan ditemukan bahwa Pertama, asal usul manusia berasal dari Adam. Selanjutnya bereproduksi secara terus menerus untuk menghasilkan generasi yang baru..Kedua, dalam al-Qur’an menyebut manusia dengan istilah al basyar, al Insan dan bani Adam, yang terdiri dari unsur fisik dan non fisik. Unsur fisik direpresntasikan dalam istilah al basyar, dan unsur non fisik direpresentasikan dalam al Insan. Pada aspek non fisik dianugerahi potensi berupa’aql, qalb, fithrah, nafs, dan ruh. Ketiga, kedudukan manusia di atas bumi berperan sebagai ’Abdullah (hamba Allah) dan sebagai khalifatullah (pemakmur bumi)..Keempat. Konsep manusia tersebut berImplikasi pada adanya peran Pendidikan Islam dituntut harus berperan dalam mendesain system Pendidikan Islam yang ideal dalam mengoptimalkan seluruh potensi yang ada pada manusia, sehingga ia bisa menjalankan perann dan tujuan utamanya sebagai ‘abdullah dan khalifatullah.

The aim of community service program is to enhance the educational experience at the integrated Islamic high school (SMA IT Khairu Ummah) Rejang Lebong district by employing an ethnoscience approach. The service program is implemented in SMA IT Khairu Ummah to address challenges posed by inadequate learning facilities and infrastructure, particularly in physics education, which may impede the teaching and learning process. The implementation of community service initiatives in 2024 comprises four phases. The first phase encompasses observational efforts within schools to acquire a comprehensive picture of the educational environment. The second phase involves the socialization of service activities and coordination with school principal and educators, particularly those teaching physics. The third phase entailed instructing educators on the development of ethnoscience-focused educational resources. The last phase entails regular assessment and guidance involving two Mahasiswa Kampus Merdeka Belajar program and five physics lecturers to guarantee that the community service program positively influences the learning process. The findings indicate that the training positively enhances teacher competencies by implementing ethnoscience education that leverages the local community's cultural and traditional diversity, even amidst constraints of limited facilities and infrastructure. Physics teacher and students of SMA IT Khairu Ummah SMA IT have implemented an ethnoscience-based physics approach that is effective in enhancing students' comprehension of scientific processes and their acquisition of related skills.
