Indonesia faces significant challenges in improving English proficiency among its population. According to the EF Education First English Proficiency Index 2023, Indonesia ranks 79th out of 113 countries. On the other hand, the current generation begins to forget cultural elements such as folklore or myths that have been passed down from the nation's ancestors. This study aims to design an English learning application for children and teenagers using the design thinking method. The stages of design thinking that are used are empathize, define, ideate, prototyping, and testing. In the prototyping stage, low-fidelity and high-fidelity prototypes were created to visualize the application's design and functionality. Testing was conducted by using task scenarios and the System Usability Scale (SUS). The task scenario testing results revealed that the effectiveness and efficiency rate of 85.71%, indicated that most tasks could be completed successfully by users. The SUS testing results showed an average score of 86.5%, indicated that the application has a high level of usability and well-received by users. Thus, the application's interface is considered easy to use and effective in supporting the English learning process for the target users. This research provides a positive contribution to the development of educational applications using a design thinking approach.

A very important first step in helping people with mental health disorders get medical care is detection. Mental health problems and drug abuse can be detected with a tool called SDQ (for adolescents aged 10 to 17 years). The twenty-five statements in the SDQ fall into five measurable behavioral categories: (1) emotional symptoms (5 statements), (2) behavioral problems (5 statements), (3) hyperactivity (5 statements), (4) friendship problems (5 statements), and (5) prosocial behavior (5 statements). By using SDQ, this research will create an expert system, a computer-based application, to detect adolescent mental health. Expert systems can be used to solve problems in ways thought by experts. This research will build a web-based expert system that uses the PHP programming language. System and accuracy testing will be carried out using black box testing and accuracy value testing to find out whether the symptoms and diagnosis results are appropriate. The research results in the form of a prototype will be available online so that teenagers can check their mental health freely.

Authors: Arora Dev , Prabakar Jayashri , Jeevanandan Ganesh , Shanmugam Rajeshkumar
Published: February 2025

Objectives: Dental caries is a highly prevalent chronic condition that, if left untreated, can result in severe oral health consequences, including pain, infection and tooth loss. Micro-invasive treatments for dental caries, such as fissure sealants, are effective in arresting incipient caries in pits and fissures. However, conventional sealants face challenges such as technique sensitivity and failure under moisture contamination. Hydrophilic sealants were introduced to address these limitations, offering better adaptability in moist environments. Marginal sealing is a critical factor in determining the longevity and success of restorative treatments. Methods: The study utilized 20 extracted sound molar teeth free from caries and developmental defects. The samples were randomly divided into two groups of 10 each: Group I (Ultra-seal XT Hydro hydrophilic sealants) and Group II (Flowable composite). Mesiodistal sectioning was performed using a low-speed diamond cutting blade and the sections were immersed in 0.1% rhodamine B isothiocyanate dye at 37°C for 24 hours. Dye penetration was assessed using confocal laser scanning microscopy. Microleakage was evaluated following Ovrebo and Raadal guidelines (1990). Results: Group I (hydrophilic sealants) exhibited significantly less dye penetration compared to Group II (flowable composites), as determined by the Mann-Whitney U test (p = 0.041). The results indicated that hydrophilic sealants demonstrated superior marginal sealing, reducing microleakage more effectively than flowable composites. Conclusion: Hydrophilic sealants showed better performance in preventing microleakage than flowable composites, particularly in moisture-prone conditions. These findings suggest that hydrophilic sealants are a valuable choice for enhancing the longevity and effectiveness of restorative treatments, with potential implications for improving clinical protocols and patient outcomes. Future research should explore the long-term durability, cost-effectiveness and real-world applications of these materials.

Objectives: This study aims to describe the clinical presentations and management of patients with ureteric colic attending the emergency department. Methods: A retrospective chart review at King Abdulaziz Hospital analyzed medical records from 2018 to 2022, focusing on adult patients aged 18-80, presenting to the emergency department with a confirmed diagnosis of ureteric stones. Patients with incomplete records or unverified diagnoses were excluded. The results of patients were collected and statistically analyzed. Results: This study involved 221 patients with ureteric colic, with a mean age of 44.9 ± 12.6 years and a majority of males (77.7%); most of the patients presented in the summer season (n = 133, 60.2%). About 47.5% (n = 105) of them had a history of urolithiasis, and 21.3% (n = 47) had a positive family history of urolithiasis. The most common symptoms and signs were fluctuating pain (n = 170, 76.9%), pain localized to the side, back, or below the ribs (n = 161, 72.9%), Nausea/vomiting (n = 114, 51.6%), dysuria (n = 100, 45.2%). Over half of the 117 patients (52.9%), reported severe pain as measured by the Numerical Pain Rating Scale (NPRS). In older patients, the presence of hematuria, pyuria, and stones located in the lower and middle ureter were associated with increased pain severity. The majority of patients (99.1%) received analgesics, while 71.0% (n=157) underwent medical explosive therapy (MET). The invasive procedures showed that about 67.9% (n = 150) required double-J stent insertion, and 32.1% (n = 71) of them had ureteroscopy (URS). More than half of the patients were discharged on the same day of attending the emergency department (n = 122, 55.2%). Most patients improved by the given treatment (n = 192, 87.3%), while few of them had some complications. Conclusion: The majority of patients with ureteric colic were effectively managed through conservative treatment, with significant improvement. Timely intervention using minimally invasive techniques led to positive outcomes and shorter hospital stays.

Published: February 2025

Food adulteration, the deliberate contamination or substitution of food products with inferior or harmful substances for economic gain, has become a pressing global concern with profound implications for public health. This study provides a comprehensive overview of the various forms of food adulteration, its widespread prevalence, and the significant health risks it poses to consumers. Adulteration affects a broad spectrum of food items, including cereals, spices, oils, dairy products, and beverages. The consumption of adulterated foods presents immediate dangers such as acute poisoning, as well as long-term health repercussions. Toxic substances like heavy metals, pesticides, and microbial contaminants are known to trigger gastrointestinal disorders, neurological damage, and, in some cases, fatal outcomes. Chronic exposure to contaminated food increases the likelihood of developing non-communicable diseases, including cardiovascular conditions, diabetes, and cancer. To mitigate this growing threat, it is imperative to strengthen regulatory frameworks, implement robust testing protocols, and enforce stringent penalties for offenders. Public awareness initiatives and educational programs play a pivotal role in empowering consumers to make informed choices and advocate for greater transparency in the food supply chain. In conclusion, food adulteration represents a substantial public health risk by compromising both the safety and nutritional integrity of the food consumed. This study employs a quantitative research approach, gathering data from 222 respondents in Chennai, complemented by a chronological review of existing literature on the subject.

Published: February 2025

Objectives: Irisin has emerged as a potential cardiovascular biomarker with protective effects. This study aimed to evaluate serum irisin levels and FNDC5 gene expression in obese individuals undergoing bariatric surgery and to assess irisin's role as a cardiovascular biomarker in obesity and post-surgery. Method: Forty severely obese participants and 40 healthy, normal-weight controls were evaluated at baseline, 6 months and 12 months after surgery. Serum irisin was measured using ELISA and FNDC5 gene expression was assessed via Real-Time PCR. Various biochemical, anthropometric and clinical parameters were also measured. Results: Serum irisin levels decreased significantly from 10.45±2.49 ng/mL at baseline to 7.66±1.49 ng/mL at 12 months post-surgery (p = 0.000). FNDC5 gene expression also significantly declined (p = 0.000). Irisin levels were positively correlated with BMI and FNDC5 expression and inversely correlated with cholesterol, LDL, triglycerides, CRP, MDA and hs-Tn. Higher irisin levels were associated with lower cholesterol, LDL, CRP and MDA levels. At 12 months, irisin was negatively correlated with cholesterol, ApoB/ApoA ratio and hs-Tn. Conclusion: Irisin may serve as a cardiovascular biomarker in obese individuals both before and after bariatric surgery. Elevated irisin levels are associated with obesity but decrease following surgery, correlating with inflammatory markers and cardiovascular risk factors. These results suggest that higher irisin levels could be linked to a lower cardiovascular risk in obese patients.

Authors: Casas Chandel Mark E. , Aguelo Kenneth D. , Talingting Angel Khate , Culajara Claire Lynn B.
Published: February 2025

This study explored differences of the learner’s ability to retain information across three learning preferences: text-only, visual, and combined. Forty-five undergraduate students aged 18–24 from various departments were randomly assigned to these groups. PowerPoint slides with text, images, and assessment sheets were used to measure responses in a true experimental design with a between-subjects approach. Statistical analysis, including mean, standard deviation, Shapiro-Wilk test for normality, and Kruskal-Wallis analysis, found no significant differences in the ability to retain information among the groups (χ² (1) = 3.02, p = 0.221, η² = 0.0686). These findings suggest that the mode of content delivery—whether text-only, visual, or combined—does not significantly affect the learner’s ability to retain information, with learning preferences accounting for only a small variance. This study underscores the need for flexible teaching methods to address diverse learning needs. The limited sample size and the potential influence of uncontrolled factors may restrict the generalizability of its findings. Future research should implement stricter controls to enhance the reliability and validity of the conclusions.
Assessing the Relationship between Price-Earnings (P/E) Ratio and the Financial Viability of Commercial Banks: Empirical Evidence from Bangladesh
Authors: Mondal Tandra
Published: February 2025

This study investigates the relationship between commercial banks’ financial health and the price-earnings (P/E) ratio. Secondary data from 30 commercial banks in Bangladesh was gathered and analyzed over ten years, spanning 2014 to 2023, for this study. A descriptive research design was employed to do this. The data was collected from the selected institutions’ annual reports and financial statements. Panel data regression model, more especially the Fixed Effects Regression with Clustered Standard Errors, was used in this study’s data analysis to mitigate autocorrelation and provide consistent and efficient estimates, thereby enhancing the overall validity of the results. The study’s findings reveal that while the P/E ratio shows a significant relation with the financial performance of banks, certain variables, such as liquidity ratio, leverage ratio, and net interest margin, do not demonstrate a meaningful impact. Additionally, the analysis emphasizes the negative consequences of the COVID-19 epidemic on the banking industry, such as a rise in financial irregularities and a decline in investor confidence, which probably helps make some of the independent variables insignificant. This research offers valuable insight into the financial viability of commercial banks in Bangladesh and suggests that the P/E ratio, while helpful, must be considered alongside other macroeconomic and institutional factors. However, this study highlights the importance of using multiple financial indicators for informed investment decisions and aids banking professionals in evaluating the long-term financial health of banks.

Published: February 2025

This study investigates the factors influencing the performance of deposit money banks in Gombe State, Nigeria, focusing on managerial support, structural capital, and human capital within the framework of the resource-based view. The findings highlight the critical roles of strong management support, effective organizational structures, and skilled personnel in driving bank success. However, the study reveals an unexpected minimal impact of relational capital, suggesting unique challenges in the Nigerian banking sector. Specifically, the report underscores the importance of strong management support, well-organized organizational structures, and highly competent individuals in enhancing the success of banks. The insignificant role of relational capital was unexpected, indicating the distinctive challenges faced by the Nigerian banking sector. Limited geographic scope and dependence on particular data collection methodologies constrain the research’s scope. The report suggests that in order to improve our comprehension of the factors that influence bank performance, it is necessary to conduct more comprehensive studies that cover a wide range of methodologies and geographies. The research is limited by its narrow geographic focus and reliance on specific data collection methods. Guided by four research objectives and questions, the study calls for further, broader research using diverse methodologies and across different regions to deepen understanding of the determinants of bank performance. These insights are crucial for shaping banking strategies, emphasizing the need to strengthen human and structural capital and enhance management practices for improved performance.

Authors: Jeraldine Leal, , Romil Tan,
Published: February 2025

The experiment involved blue light exposure durations (4 hours, 8 hours, and 12 hours) and white light as control. Calcium ascorbate was applied at varying concentrations (10 ppm, and 15 ppm) and water as control. The results revealed that the combination of 4 hours of blue light exposure and 10 ppm calcium ascorbate application significantly increased plant height. Furthermore, 12 hours of blue light exposure led to a thicker and wider cotyledon area, resulting in a deep purple color characteristic of red amaranth microgreens. Fresh weight and dry weight were highest on red amaranth microgreen exposed to 12-hour blue light duration. Shelf life analysis indicated that microgreens grown under 12 hours of blue light exposure with 10 ppm calcium had an extended shelf life at room temperature. Analysis of nutrient content revealed that nitrogen levels were highest in the control group. However, phosphorus content was highest in microgreens exposed to 4 hours of blue light, potassium content was highest in microgreens exposed to 12 hours of blue light. Overall, the combination of 12 hours of blue light exposure and 10 ppm calcium ascorbate application resulted in quality red amaranth microgreens with desirable growth and nutrient properties.
