Authors: Ansari Muhammad Sarim , Irfan Ghazala , Mumtaz Zubair , Qadir Faisal , Alam Maqsood , Shaikh Sajid Ali , Mueed Abdul
Published: June 2023

Objectives: The study aimed at assessing the outcome of pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) using second-generation cryoballoon, Arctic Front Advance, Medtronic (CB-Adv) as a rhythm control strategy for drug-resistant paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF) in a cardiac tertiary care center of Pakistan.
Methodology: Fifty patients had PVI with CB-Adv for symptomatic drug-resistant PAF at the National Institute of Cardiovascular Diseases, Karachi, Pakistan, during 2017-2022. Patients were followed-up in the clinic on the 1st, 3rd, and 6th month after the ablation. Twenty-four hours of Holter monitoring of electrocardiogram was obtained on each visit. We conducted a retrospective chart review after approval from the ethical review committee. We collected all the patients' demographic and clinical data, procedural results, and reports of Holter monitoring. The primary outcome was successful PVI and freedom from atrial tachyarrhythmia (Ata) on a 6-month follow-up.
Results: We enrolled all 50 patients (34 male, 68%; mean age 55.14 ± 7.94 years) treated with PVI using CB-Adv. The mean duration of symptoms was 30.28 ± 13.48 months. PVI with CB-Adv was found to be curative in 49 patients (98%). Following the procedure, pericardial effusion was found in one patient (2%), whereas one patient (2%) had a retroperitoneal hematoma. On a six-month follow-up, only one patient (2%) had a recurrence of Ata, which was PAF.
Conclusion: Our experience of PVI with CB-Adv has shown a high success rate of the procedure for rhythm control in patients who have PAF, which is resistant to antiarrhythmic drugs (AADs).

Published: June 2023

Objectives: The objective of this meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials was to compare the efficacy of ticagrelor versus Clopidogrel for preventing stent thrombosis (ST) following percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS).
Methodology: A comprehensive literature search was conducted using MEDLINE/PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Library. The inclusion criteria involved selecting randomized controlled trials that included patients with ACS undergoing PCI, comparing the use of ticagrelor and Clopidogrel, having a follow-up period of at least 30 days, and reporting data on ST. The meta-analysis was performed using the R statistical software version 4.1.1, and the "meta" package was utilized. The Mantel-Haenszel method was employed to calculate the relative risk (RR) and corresponding 95% confidence interval (CI) for comparing the risk of ST between the two treatment groups.
Results: A total of seven randomized controlled trials were included in the analysis, comprising a population of 28,609 patients with ACS who were randomized to receive either ticagrelor or Clopidogrel in a ratio of 12,116:16,493. The cumulative rate of ST was found to be 2.2% (185/8,423) in the ticagrelor group and 2.7% (347/12,851) in the clopidogrel group. The meta-analysis revealed a significant decrease in the rate of ST with ticagrelor compared to Clopidogrel, demonstrating a relative risk of 0.71 (95% CI: 0.59 to 0.85). No heterogeneity was detected among the included studies, as indicated by an I2 value of 0% and a p-value of 0.463.
Conclusion: In conclusion, the findings of this meta-analysis suggest that ticagrelor is a significantly more effective P2Y12 inhibitor than Clopidogrel for preventing ST following PCI in patients with ACS. These results support using ticagrelor as the preferred antiplatelet therapy in this patient population.

Authors: Roomi Faisal Shehzad , Abbas Syed Qaisar , Raza Muhammad Hussnain
Published: June 2023

Objectives: The diagnostic potential of serum asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA) levels as a biomarker for cardiovascular risk has been investigated in various populations, but no such study has been reported in Pakistan. This study aimed to assess the diagnostic efficiency of serum ADMA levels in detecting cardiovascular risk in patients with coronary heart disease (CHD).
Methodology: A cross-sectional study was conducted at the Chaudhry Pervaiz Elahi Institute of Cardiology (CPEIC), Wazirabad, Pakistan, using a consecutive sampling technique to ensure randomization. One hundred individuals were divided into two groups (CHD patients and healthy controls), and blood samples were collected between January 2022 and November 2022. Serum ADMA levels were measured using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and statistical analysis was performed to determine the area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve (AUC).
Results: The mean age of CHD patients' serum samples was 58.6 ± 7.39 years (p<0.001) compared to 42.26 ± 14.4 years (p<0.001) in healthy controls. The mean ADMA concentration in the serum of CHD patients was determined as 1.37 ± 0.26 µmol/L (p<0.001) compared to 0.812 ± 0.207 µmol/L (p<0.001) in healthy controls. The AUC on the ROC curve was determined as 0.95, indicating high diagnostic accuracy. ADMA's sensitivity, specificity, and overall accuracy were determined as 82%, 88%, and 85%, respectively.
Conclusion: In conclusion, serum ADMA levels demonstrate a promising potential as a biomarker for assessing cardiovascular risk. The findings of this study suggest that ADMA measurements could be utilized as a diagnostic tool in CHD patients, aiding in the identification and management of cardiovascular risk in the Pakistani population. Further research is warranted to validate these findings and explore the utility of ADMA in more extensive and diverse cohorts.

The aim of this study is to analyze the technologies which are currently being used in foreign language teaching and learning English as an applied language at the university level based on the findings of the detected experimental studies. The PRISMA criteria for systematic reviews and meta-analyses were compiled in the methodology. The findings of the experimental studies shown the lack of innovative technologies, such as chatbots or virtual reality (VR) devices, which are commonly utilized in foreign language (FL) education. Furthermore, mobile apps are primarily concerned with the acquisition of foreign language vocabulary. The findings shown that foreign language teachers might allegedly understand the latest technology devices, such as neural machine translation, they do not combine them accurately in their teaching process. As a result, this study indicates that teachers should be educated and know how to employ them in their foreign language lessons as well as traditional instruction in order to determine which skills or structures of language could have been created as a result of their use. Additionally, it is suggested that further experimental studies must be conducted to explicate the evidence and how useful it is in teaching a foreign language as an applicable language.

INTRODUCING TRADITIONAL SPIRITUAL AND MORAL VALUES AS A WAY TO PREVENT DESTRUCTIVE MANIFESTATIONS IN THE YOUTH ENVIRONMENT
Authors:   Institute of Social and Humanitarian Education of the Moscow Pedagogical State University, Teplova Elena Feliksovna
Published: June 2023

Современное общество сталкивается с проблемой деструктивных проявлений в молодежной среде. Среди основных причин подобных проявлений выделяются разрыв с традиционными ценностями, причем как на уровне семьи, так и на уровне общества в целом, а также зависимость подрастающего поколения от реальности, навязываемой соцсетями. С одной стороны, молодежь быстрее и охотнее адаптируется к технологическому прогрессу и его преимуществам, а с другой, в наиболее чувствительном, ранимом возрасте оказывается под влиянием абсолютно разнонаправленных взглядов, идей и ценностей. Для преодоления негативных тенденций в среде молодежи полезнейшим инструментом может стать духовно-нравственное воспитание, призванное познакомить даже отрицательно к нему относящихся детей и подростков с традиционными представлениями о добре, взаимопомощи, жертвенности, ценности семьи и другими понятиями, являющимися базовыми для здорового социума.

The Musical Characteristics of the Chinese Poem Art Song: focus on 「Yanggwan Sandie」
Authors:   Global Knowledge and Convergence Association, Xiao Yilan , Li Xinyi
Published: June 2023

Chinese Poem contains the rich essence of traditional Chinese culture (called “Chinese Poem” in Korea because it includes modern works), and is used as an important material in contemporary Chinese artist songs due to its high literary value containing the wisdom and aspirations of ancient poets. “Yanggwan Samchop” is also known as “Yanggwangok” or “Satanggok”, which became widely sung after being included in the collection of poems of musicians based on the Tang poet Wang Yu’s “Songwon Issaanseo”. Since then, Chinese Poem Temple has been developed for thousands of years and has been reborn in various art styles such as vocal music and instrumental music. After the introduction of Western music into China, many Chinese composers tried to pursue unique Chinese music by incorporating Western composition techniques into traditional Chinese music. This study will examine the musical characteristics of the works in harmony with tradition and modernity, China and the West, by analyzing the vocal and piano of 「Yanggwan Samchop」, an artist song of Gosisa Temple. To this end, we will describe the poetry, content, and background of Gosisa 「Yanggwan Samchop」 and analyze the formal structure and music of the song in detail to derive unique artistic characteristics of this work, such as the combination of poetry and music and the intersection of imagination and reality. Through this study, it is hoped that Chinese vocal researchers and majors will be able to understand “Yanggwan Samchop” in depth, and that overseas vocal researchers and majors will be well-known for Chinese national vocal works, especially traditional Gosisa artist songs. In addition, it is expected that this paper will play an important role in the conservation and development of traditional Chinese culture and research on the combination of Chinese and Western cultures.
A Study on The Application of Film Music Techniques: Focusing on The Film Musics of Director Kim Jee-woon & Mowg
Authors:   Global Knowledge and Convergence Association, Kang Hyo-wook , Hong Byungsun
Published: June 2023

This paper is a study that classifies and examines film music techniques through various types of music used in films. In particular, this study analyzes the music used in Kim Jee-woon’s films, ‘The Age of Shadows’ (2016) and ‘I Saw The Devil’ (2010), which appear to effectively utilize film music, and examines their respective music techniques and effects. Through this study, it was reaffirmed that the leitmotif, which is applied throughout the film, can effectively convey the theme of the film, and it was also confirmed that the application of irony music, applied contrary to the situation, maximizes its effect. It was observed that when dissonance is repeatedly used in scenes that depict tense or suspenseful situations, its effect is intensified. Therefore, it is proposed that creating a consistent system for utilizing such music can produce the same effect and enhance the overall visual experience. While there have been numerous studies on film music, research on film music techniques beyond the leitmotif has been relatively limited. Therefore, this study aims to categorize and identify the music techniques used in film music and analyze specific cases and propose a model for applying various music techniques to films. Although this study did not address the effects of sound other than music, it is hoped that further research will be conducted on the use of both film music and sound effects in the future.

The Ethics of Care for “Others”: A Template for Addressing Security Problems in Nigeria
Authors: Ojomo Philomena A.
Published: June 2023

Generally, insecurity in Nigeria is no longer news. This insecurity finds expression socially, politically, economically and physically. This paper, however, focuses on the threat to life and property that has become recurrent in recent times; especially earmarked by the recent cases of kidnapping, robbery, terrorism and genocide. Using the analytic and expository methods, findings show that an economic distributive injustice is a major factor contributing to the high rate of poverty and insecurity in the country today. The consciousness that everyone ought to fend for himself has left the vulnerable, the weak and the natural environment abandoned for decades. The result is what we are witnessing today– banditry, kidnapping for ransom, etc. However, the situation inadvertently reveals our interconnectedness in the society. The paper argues that the existential ethics of acknowledging and appreciating our interconnectedness with the ‘other ’is a moral sensitivity that can engender care for others, and reduce security challenges in Nigeria.

Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are a typical group of persistent organic pollutants (POPs), which have been listed under Annex A (Elimination) and Annex C (Unintentional production) of the Stockholm Convention. In this study, a gas chromatography tandem mass spectrometry method was developed and applied to analyze concentrations of 28 PCB congeners in some Vietnamese marine fish samples. PCBs in fish samples were ultrasonically extracted with an acetone/n-hexane (1/1, v/v) mixture. The extracts were cleaned up by using multilayer silica gel columns with dichloromethane/n-hexane (1/1, v/v) as elution solvent. PCBs were separated on a DB-5MS column and quantified by using a triple quadrupole mass spectrometer. The MS detector was operated in positive electron impact ionization (EI) mode and selected reaction monitoring (SRM) mode. Calibration curves of 28 PCBs exhibited good linearity (R2 ≥ 0.9998). Instrument detection limits (IDLs) and method detection limits (MDLs) ranged from 0.08 to 0.023 ng/mL and from 0.07 to 1.84 ng/g, respectively. Recoveries of 28 PCBs native and 7 labeled standards in matrix-spike samples ranged from 62.3 to 88.1% and from 75.5 to 91.9%, satisfying criteria proposed by AOAC (recovery 60-115% for 10-100 ppb levels). The validated method was applied to analyze 10 marine fish samples, showing levels of ∑28PCBs from 17 to 851 (mean 230) ng/g lipid. The sum of 6in-PCBs (PCB-28; -52; -101; -138; -153; -180) based on wet weight (w/w) ranged from 1.24 to 3.15 ng/g, which is lower than the maximum level recommended by The European Union (75 ng/g (w/w). Congeners PCB-126 and PCB-169 were not detected in marine fish samples.

In the world, almost all chicken meat is used in chilled or frozen meat to ensure quality and food hygiene and safety, but in Viet Nam, the habit of using hot chicken meat is still quite common (do not lower the carcass temperature after slaughter, in storing, transporting or consuming),  leading to a very high risk of food poisoning from this raw material. The study was conducted to evaluate the quality of cool (chilled) chicken meat of 02 common breeds of chicken raised in Viet Nam, Indian River Meat (coding C2) and Tam Hoang (coding C3), raised at commercial chicken farms, slaughtered and chilled at the factory of 3F Food Co., Ltd (Binh Duong province). Chicken carcasses were chilled down to 0-4°C immediately after slaughter and then cut and packed for transportation at this temperature. This study has developed 19/75 sensory property terms that strongly influence the overall quality of cool chicken meat. The results of evaluating the quality of cool chicken meat at 1, 3, 5, 7, 10, and 14 days showed that, in the period from day 1 to day 5, the values of pH, TVB-N, and total aerobic microorganisms (TAM) values of chicken breasts and thighs of both C2 and C3 showed very little variation and were within the allowable limits, respectively. The sensory properties were evaluated not to be inferior to that of freshly slaughtered meat surgery. By day 7, there were signs of quality deterioration, pH, TVB-N, and TAM all exceeded the regulations, and the level of bad sensory properties gradually increased. Thus, chicken meat products in this study should be stored for up to 5 days.

The Tinospora sinensis Merr. was ultrasonically extracted using 80% ethanol at a temperature of 50°C. The resulting solution was distilled to remove the solvent under reduced pressure, yielding the extract. The extract was then dissolved in distilled water, and this solution was administered to the experimental mice. The results showed that even at the maximum allowable dose, no mice experienced mortality. The anti-inflammatory effects of Tinospora sinensis Merr. extract were tested in experiments. The results demonstrated that at a dose equivalent to 1.6 g of plant material per kilogram of body weight per day, the extract exhibited acute anti-inflammatory activity in a model of carrageenan-induced foot edema in mice, comparable to a dose of 80 mg/kg body weight per day of aspirin. Additionally, at a dose equivalent to 2.8 g of plant material per kilogram of body weight per day, the extract showed chronic anti-inflammatory effects in a model of amian-induced granuloma in white mice. These findings suggest a novel direction in using plant-derived medicines, specifically the Tinospora sinensis Merr.

At the end of 2022, Vietnam's standard system (TCVN) had 2026 national standards related to the food chain (food and feed), of which the number of test method standards accounts for nearly 70 %. The test method standards have played an extremely important role in the food chain. The harmonization of TCVN on test methods for the food chain according to international standards (ISO standards) is always a priority in the process of developing and perfecting the TCVN system. Moreover, there are also many TCVNs built on the basis of harmonizing (or referencing) methods of the International Association of Official Analytical Collaboration (AOAC International). This article analyzed a number of cases in which the AOAC method is referenced in the national standards and national technical regulations of Vietnam; the harmonization of national standards according to the AOAC method and the use of the AOAC method in a number of public and non-public laboratories. From the above analysis results, it is possible to comment on the trend of using AOAC methods in testing activities in Vietnam.

In the face of the dilemma of learners' "learning loss" and "information overload" in information resources, a personalized learning resource recommendation algorithm is proposed by conducting in-depth and extensive research on the knowledge graph. This algorithm relies on the similarity or correlation between learners' characteristics and course knowledge (learning resources) for recommendation. It analyzes learners' characteristics in depth from four aspects: data collection and processing, model construction, resource and path recommendation, and model application, and establishes a multi layered dynamic feature model for learners; Analyze the core elements of the curriculum knowledge graph, decompose the curriculum knowledge into nanoscale knowledge granularity, and construct a curriculum knowledge graph model. The experimental results indicate that this algorithm improves learners' learning efficiency and promotes their personalized development

Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) must be agile to keep up the sustainable growth in the midst of increased competition and shifting skill set requirements. In this dynamic environment, when it comes to implementing agility at HEIs, it requires adjustments in processes and resources used to fit their context, and we have tried to understand this phenomenon through our research. The purpose of this research paper is to understand the facilitators of agility in higher education institutions to maintain competitiveness and achieve teaching & research excellence. This study used a qualitative approach to explore the concept of agility in the context of higher education institutions. In-depth, telephone interviews with subject academic experts were employed for the study. Through our research, we noticed that there are four important enablers of agility in HEIs. We identified internationalisation, society-industry interaction, and technological integration as enablers that are required to achieve agility in HEIs to remain competitive. This helped us gain a multidimensional view of ‘agility’ by using the lens of sense & response framework to analyse it. Therefore, we recommend the enablers based on a conceptual framework to support the dynamic requirements of HEIs. The study highlights the need for integration of all enablers sensed from the environment through qualitative study with the HEI’s responding capabilities.

The purpose of the article is to visually show that the laws, principles, concepts of ethics have been identified and developed over the millennia in different countries, among different peoples. And, I think, one cannot consider oneself an expert in this area without getting acquainted - at least briefly - with the centuries-old course of comprehending the secrets of ethical knowledge. Since antiquity, the largest minds of mankind have contributed to the formation of ethical thought, its philosophy and categorical-conceptual apparatus. They opened for us the depths of morality and the facets of beauty, since ethical education in their understanding is, first of all, and is an integral part of the comprehensive and harmonious development of the individual, regardless of time and circumstances, because it is a powerful means of spiritual enrichment for a representative of anyone - in that the number of the new - society. Based on this, the author set the main task - to explicitly show the place of the ethics of England in the late Renaissance in history and philosophy starting from the initial stages of the process of its formation as a science.
