Authors: Sahu Prashanti , Verma Henu Kumar , Bhaskar LVKS
Published: December 2024

Alcohol use disorder (AUD) is a medical condition that impairs a person's ability to stop or manage their drinking in the face of negative social, occupational, or health consequences. AUD is defined by the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism as a "severe problem". The central nervous system is the primary target of alcohol's adverse effects. It is crucial to identify various neurological disorders associated with AUD, including alcohol withdrawal syndrome, Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome, Marchiafava-Bignami disease, dementia, and neuropathy. To gain a better understanding of the neurological environment of alcoholism and to shed light on the role of various neurotransmitters in the phenomenon of alcoholism. A comprehensive search of online databases, including PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, and Google Scholar, was conducted to identify relevant articles. Several neurotransmitters (dopamine, gamma-aminobutyric acid, serotonin, and glutamate) have been linked to alcoholism due to a brain imbalance. Alcoholism appears to be a complex genetic disorder, with variations in many genes influencing risk. Some of these genes have been identified, including two alcohol metabolism genes, alcohol dehydrogenase 1B gene and aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 gene , which have the most potent known effects on the risk of alcoholism. Neuronal degeneration and demyelination in people with AUD may be caused by neuronal damage, nutrient deficiencies, and blood brain barrier dysfunction; however, the underlying mechanism is unknown. This review will provide a detailed overview of the neurobiology of alcohol addiction, followed by recent studies published in the genetics of alcohol addiction, molecular mechanism and detailed information on the various acute and chronic neurological manifestations of alcoholism for the Future research.
Bile acid therapy for primary biliary cholangitis: Pathogenetic validation
Authors: Reshetnyak Vasiliy I , Maev Igor V
Published: December 2024

Knowledge of the etiological and pathogenetic mechanisms of the development of any disease is essential for its treatment. Because the cause of primary biliary cholangitis (PBC), a chronic, slowly progressive cholestatic liver disease, is still unknown, treatment remains symptomatic. Knowledge of the physicochemical properties of various bile acids and the adaptive responses of cholangiocytes and hepatocytes to them has provided an important basis for the development of relatively effective drugs based on hydrophilic bile acids that can potentially slow the progression of the disease. Advances in the use of hydrophilic bile acids for the treatment of PBC are also associated with the discovery of pathogenetic mechanisms of the development of cholangiocyte damage and the appearance of the first signs of this disease. For 35 years, ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) has been the unique drug of choice for the treatment of patients with PBC. In recent years, the list of hydrophilic bile acids used to treat cholestatic liver diseases, including PBC, has expanded. In addition to UDCA, the use of obeticholic acid, tauroursodeoxycholic acid and norursodeoxycholic acid as drugs is discussed. The pathogenetic rationale for treatment of PBC with various bile acid drugs is discussed in this review. Emphasis is made on the mechanisms explaining the beneficial therapeutic effects and potential of each of the bile acid as a drug, based on the understanding of the pathogenesis of the initial stages of PBC.

BACKGROUND

Cervical cancer is a prevalent form of cancer affecting women worldwide and it is the second most common cancer among women in Indonesia, accounting for 8.5% of all cancer-related deaths. Cervical cancer progression can be evaluated through laboratory tests to detect anaemia, an increased platelet count, and elevated inflammatory markers, therefore, effective laboratory examination is crucial for early detection and treatment of cervical cancer.

AIM

To evaluate the association between laboratory findings (haematology, haematology index, and inflammatory index) and the clinical stage of cervical cancer.

METHODS

This cross-sectional study analyzed adult cervical cancer patients’ data from medical records and laboratory results including sociodemographic status, histopathological finding, clinical stage, and complete haematology examination. Numerical data was analyzed by the one-way ANOVA (normal data distribution), while the Kruskal-Wallis test was used for non-parametric data (abnormal distribution), followed by appropriate post-hoc analysis. The categorical data was analyzed by the Chi-square or Fisher Exact tests. The significance level was established at a P value < 0.05.

RESULTS

This study involved the data of 208 adult cervical cancer patients and found no association between age, marital history, parity history, hormonal contraceptive use and cervical cancer stages. There were significant differences in the clinical laboratory test results based on the clinical stage of cervical cancer, including haemoglobin levels (P < 0.001), leucocytes (P < 0.001), neutrophils (P < 0.001), monocytes (P = 0.002), lymphocytes (P = 0.006), platelets (P < 0.001), neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio/NLR (P < 0.001), lymphocyte-monocyte ratio/LMR (P < 0.001), and platelet-lymphocyte ratio/PLR (P < 0.001). There were also significant differences in the systemic inflammatory index (SII) and systematic inflammatory response index (SIRI) between stage III + IV cervical cancer and stage II (SII P < 0.001; SIRI P = 0.001) and stage I (SII P < 0.001; SIRI P = 0.016), associated with the shifts in previously mentioned complete haematological values with cancer advancement.

CONCLUSION

The haematological parameters, inflammatory haematological ratios, and inflammatory indices exhibited significant differences between cervical cancer stages, therefore these tests can be utilized to evaluate cervical cancer progression.

Authors: Dabbagh Ayman
Published: December 2024

This study aims to track the cases of stipulating a lump sum return for the partner, its forms, and jurisprudential judgments. This study followed a descriptive and analytic approach, by gathering the cases of the subject, its forms, with a trace of what is related to Islamic jurisprudence, and with discussion, analysis and weighting. The study findings revealed that the most outstanding is the impermissibility of stipulating a lump sum return for the partner, due to injustice (Gharar). This includes the stipulation of a common percentage with a fixed amount, in case the total profit exceeds it. And it is permissible to stipulate a fixed wage for the partner, if the work is not obligated on him, and It is not one of the businesses that the partnership has contracted on. Provided that the wage is fairly defined, and with the separation between the company's contract and the work contract. It is permissible to stipulate a wage for the management partners, only in the public shareholding company. This study is characterized as it preceded to deal with a very important matter of the partnerships profit distribution, by tracking its cases, forms, and the opinions of Islam jurists in it, and their debates, with a comparative and profound jurisprudential study for all of that.

The Legal Objectives Related to the Hadiths Described as Half, One-Third, or A Quarter of Islam
Authors: Al-Anazi Faraj
Published: December 2024

The research aims to collect hadiths that scholars have determined to be half, one-third, or a quarter of Islam. Knowing the reasons for this and the resulting objectives. I used the inductive analytical approach. I concluded that what is meant are hadiths that have great impact, many benefits, and many rulings based on them. With the diversity of its descriptions it's clear the confinement in twelve hadiths without repetition, it came to achieve two great goals, which are worshiping Allah, and unity and gathering. The goal of worshiping Allah is achieved through His command, to human to purify his outward and inward parts and perform the obligatory duties and pillars; And forbidding him from committing forbidden things and sins, and argue him to sincerity and good intentions, he blocked the pretexts and paths that lead to breaching him, guide him to what achieves the perfection of this goal, by abandoning what does not concern him, and asceticism. As for achieving the goal of unity and gathering, it is through his command to love goodness for Muslims, speaking good and don't speak evilly, Honoring neighbors and guests; He forbids the permissibility of Muslim blood and anger, and guides him to ways to resolve conflict when it occurs by establishing a litigation mechanism and a judicial system. Finally, I recommend that researchers study the Sunnah as an objective study, and I suggest studying the hadiths that scholars have described as one-fifth of Islam, or under its orbit.

Effect of Temperature on the Biodegradation of Glyphosate by Soil Bacteria
Authors: Aziz Muhammad Baihaqi Che Ab , Ariffin Fazilah
Published: December 2024

Glyphosate, a broad-spectrum systemic herbicide, is widely used in agriculture to control weeds. Its extensive use has raised concerns about its environmental impact and persistence in ecosystems. Understanding the biodegradation of glyphosate is crucial for evaluating its long-term effects and developing effective remediation strategies. Biodegradation is the process by which microorganisms break down substances and plays a vital role in mitigating the accumulation of harmful compounds in the environment. Therefore, this study investigates the effect of temperature on glyphosate degradation by soil bacteria, which is crucial for understanding its breakdown in soil ecosystems. Soil bacteria have shown potential in degrading glyphosate, but the impact of temperature remains understudied. The research aims to study the effect of temperature conditions on glyphosate degradation by soil bacteria. Soil samples were collected from Mardi Bachok, Kelantan, and their coordinates, pH, and temperature were recorded. Soil samples were incubated in Mineral Salts Medium (MSM) containing 100 mg/L glyphosate at 28°C and 37°C for seven days, with optical density measured every 24 hours. Both temperature treatments showed microbial communities capable of thriving in glyphosate-supplemented MSM, utilizing it as a sole carbon and phosphate source. Statistical analysis revealed no significant difference in microbial growth between the two temperatures. These results suggest that soil bacteria are capable of thriving in a range of temperature conditions while effectively degrading glyphosate. Understanding these dynamics is essential for developing effective bioremediation strategies and predicting the environmental fate of glyphosate in various climatic conditions. Future research should explore additional environmental factors and microbial interactions to further elucidate the complexities of glyphosate biodegradation in soil ecosystems.

Published: December 2024

Open dumpsites are becoming a major global concern in developing countries, causing heavy metal pollution, and posing a serious threat to human and plant health. This study assessed the zinc (Zn) concentration in the roots, stems, and leaves of maize plants growing on various dumpsite soils in Anyigba (Redeem, Market, and Anokwu). The plant tissues were tested for Zn using an Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer (AAS). The study found that plants grown on a dumpsite had considerably higher Zn concentrations in their roots, stems, and leaves compared to the control site (p<0.05). The concentration of zinc ranges in the following sequence: Control (0.23 mg/kg)>Anokwu (0.62 mg/kg)>Market (0.63 mg/kg)>Redeem (0.80 mg/kg) for Stem; Control (0.34 mg/kg)>Market (0.68 mg/kg)>Anokwu (0.82 mg/kg)>Redeem (1.08 mg/kg) for Leaf; Control (0.66 mg/kg)>Anokwu (0.68 mg/kg)>Market (0.98)>Redeem (1.00 mg/kg). Zinc's bioconcentration factor (BCF) decreased in the following sequence among dumpsites: Anokwu (0.32 mg/kg) > Market (0.25 mg/kg) > Control (0.18 mg/kg) > Redeem (0.14 mg/kg), all of which exceeded WHO permitted levels. Bioaccumulation concentration (BAC) values range between 0.39 and 0.78 mg/kg, suggesting that maize plant is an excluder, while translocation factor (TF) values were all above 1, indicating that the plants translocate heavy metals from roots to shoots. Our study highlights the critical need for monitoring heavy metal contamination in food crops, especially in regions with open dumpsites, to protect public health. Given the potential risks of zinc bioaccumulation, effective measures are required to mitigate exposure, including soil remediation and the use of cleaner, safer agricultural practices. This research contributes to understanding the environmental and health implications of zinc pollution, emphasizing the urgency of addressing the risks associated with open dumpsites.

Published: December 2024

Traditional Indian medicine is deeply rooted in a
holistic, preventive approach, addressing mind, body,
and spirit . The amalgamation of traditional Indian
medicine, such as Ayurveda, Siddha, and Unani, with
modern allopathic practices represents an evolving
approach in healthcare aimed at harmonizing ancient
holistic healing methods with modern scientific rigor .
Ayurveda, for example, focuses on balancing the
body's energies and employs natural remedies, which
can complement the disease-centered, evidence-based
approach of modern medicine . However, challenges
in this integration include the need for scientific
validation of traditional practices, regulatory
standardization, and overcoming historical biases
between practitioners of both systems . Literature
reveals the potential for significant mutual benefits.
Ayurveda’s therapies, such as Panchakarma ,
Shatkriyakala and Rasayana, have shown promise in
managing chronic diseases , enhancing stress
tolerance and integrates Ayurvedic principles with
modern genetics for personalized medicine . The
Herbal involvement in apothecary practices augments
a steady treatment approach which can be slow paced
than allopathic ways but are much more fruitful . On
the modern side, evidence-based research
methodologies, like randomized controlled trials, have
begun evaluating the efficacy of traditional treatments,
though more extensive studies are necessary to fully
validate their use . Successful models of integration,

such as the AYUSH ministry’s initiatives in India,
provide pathways for incorporating traditional
medicine into contemporary healthcare systems .
This paper discusses the evolving scenario of
unification of medicine, highlights existing
collaborative efforts, and proposes future directions
for research, clinical practice, and policy to further
bridge the gap between traditional and modern
approaches. It aims to emphasize the importance of
ensuring both cultural preservation and scientific
validation to enhance patient outcomes and healthcare
accessibility in a diverse, global context.

DOG BREED CLASSIFICATION USING TRANSFER LEARNING
Authors: P Ms.GOPIKA , M Ms. MUTHULAKSHMI , A Ms. NIVETHA , N Ms. SUJATHA
Published: December 2024

“Dog Breed Classification using Transfer
Learning “ the project focus on accurately classifying dog
breeds is a challenging computer vision task due to the
subtle differences between breeds and the high variability
within breeds. This project addresses these complexities
using transfer learning with the Inception V3 model, a
state-of-the-art convolutional neural network (CNN).
Traditional machine learning approaches often struggle
with subtle inter-breed differences and require large
labeled datasets and significant computational resources.
Training deep learning models from scratch is typically
infeasible, which makes transfer learning an ideal solution.
By using a pre-trained Inception V3 model, this approach
leverages learned features from large-scale datasets like
ImageNet and fine-tunes them for dog breed classification,

reducing trainingtime while enhancing accuracy. The fine-
tuned Inception V3 model undergoes transfer

learningwhere initial layers remain frozen to retain general
features, and fine-tuning optimizes the later layers for
specific breed classification. To make the solution accessible
and user-friendly, a Flask web application is developed.
Users can upload dog images and receive breed predictions
in real time, with the backend integrating the trained model
to process the images, extract features, and output
predictions. The application is scalable and practical for
diverse deployment scenarios, such as pet identification,
educational purposes, or veterinary applications. This
project not only highlights the efficiency of transfer
learning in reducing training time but also demonstrates
how AI can be applied effectively in real-world challenges.
Combining advanced deep learning with a simple web
interface bridges the gap between complex machine
learning models and practical applications, emphasizing
accuracy, efficiency, and accessibility in pet care and
animal research.

THE ALLURE OF DIGITAL PIRACY: CONVENIENCE VS ACADEMIC COPYRIGHT IN CHINESE HIGHER EDUCATION
Authors: DAY MICHAEL JAMES
Published: December 2024

This article explores if students in Chinese Higher Education (HE) understand the importance of academic intellectual property rights. It questions postgraduate scholars' perspectives regarding copyright and the stealing of eBooks online, debating whether they feel copyright and publisher pay walling conflicts with freedom of knowledge needed to learn. Copyright in China dates to the Song dynasty (960-1279), with a modern code to prevent intellectual property theft implemented in 1910, refined in 1928 and extended to cover works of foreigners. Yet, several studies indicate piracy is prevalent in China, via popular engagement with imitation luxury brands and bootleg digital material. This article, then, approaches this phenomenon by drawing insight from qualitative research undertaken through focus groups and ethnographic research with 103 postgraduates in a Sino-British Higher Education Institute (HEI) in China. The findings show students understood the importance of respecting intellectual property but noted a tension between following it and succeeding in their academic pursuits. The article concludes by suggesting that this insight can encourage Chinese HE policymakers to reflect on resource availability for students in Chinese HEIs.

Published: December 2024

This case report highlights the successful management of Persistent Hyperinsulinemic Hypoglycemia in Infancy (PHHI) using alternative therapies, demonstrating their efficacy and practical implications in resource-limited settings. A 48-hour-old neonate presented with severe hypoglycemia unresponsive to high-dose glucose infusion. Laboratory investigations confirmed PHHI with elevated insulin and C-peptide levels. Due to the unavailability of diazoxide, treatment involved subcutaneous octreotide and oral nifedipine. The clinical course was managed and monitored according to international guidelines for hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia. The combination therapy successfully stabilized blood glucose levels, enabling cessation of intravenous glucose infusion by day 10. The patient also recovered fully from hospital-acquired pneumonia with antibiotic treatment. These outcomes underscore the potential efficacy of nifedipine as a viable second-line therapy for PHHI in contexts where standard treatments are inaccessible. This case underscores the importance of flexible, evidence-based therapeutic approaches tailored to individual patient needs, especially in resource-constrained environments. The findings highlight nifedipine’s clinical utility in PHHI management and emphasize the need for further research, including large-scale studies, to establish standardized treatment protocols and expand access to effective therapies globally.

Published: December 2024

This research aims to provide an in-depth understanding of the impact of AI in academic writing on critical thinking ability, originality of scientific work, intellectual integrity in academia, and AI dependency leading to no improvement in individual thinking ability. Using a qualitative research design focusing on case studies and employing semi-structured interviews, seven undergraduate students in Indonesia were purposively selected to be sampled. The research findings revealed First, AI can threaten the development of individual critical thinking ability, as dependency on this technology reduces active engagement in the process of thinking and reflection, and inhibits creativity. Second, AI has the potential to reduce the originality of academic work, trigger plagiarism, and reduce the analytical quality and creativity of writers. Third, AI can undermine intellectual integrity in academic settings by leading to violations of ethical codes. Fourth, reliance on AI inhibits the improvement of individual thinking skills, as cognitive processes that should be done independently are reduced. Future research could consider more objective measures such as observation or psychometric tests, and investigate more intensive threats in the use of AI in the academic writing environment.

To achieve this, the study pursues two specific objectives: first, to capture and quantify the degree of multifractality, and second, to identify the sources of this multifractality within these markets. Utilizing the Multifractal Detrended Fluctuation Analysis (MF-DFA) method, the multifractal behavior of these markets is analyzed. The empirical findings, derived from the application of generalized Hurst exponents, Rényi exponents, and the singularity spectrum, indicate that the six Islamic markets studied display multifractal properties, suggesting a lack of market efficiency. Furthermore, by employing shuffling and phase randomization techniques, it is determined that long-term correlations and heavy-tailed distributions jointly contribute to the observed multifractality. The results of this study have several practical implications for various market stakeholders. Investors should incorporate multifractal analysis into their strategies, focusing on long-term correlations and extreme events to enhance predictive accuracy and risk management. Diversification can help mitigate risk, while remaining vigilant about long-term trends and market patterns. Policymakers should improve market transparency, address inefficiencies, and implement targeted regulations to enhance market stability, such as stress-testing for extreme events and long-term trends. Future research should explore the factors driving multifractality to improve financial models.

Factors affecting the Audit expectation gap – A case study in Vietnam
Authors: Hoai Nguyen Thu
Published: December 2024

The concept of the audit expectation gap (AEG) is not novel in the field of auditing, having first been introduced approximately 50 years ago in Liggio's [1] study. Since then, AEG has garnered significant attention from both practitioners and academic researchers. However, there remains ongoing debate regarding the methods used to measure AEG and the factors that influence it. This study aims to address these gaps by proposing a new approach for measuring AEG and presenting a research model to identify the factors that impact AEG. Additionally, the study provides empirical evidence from Vietnam to validate the proposed measurement method and research model. The findings indicate the presence of AEG in Vietnam and highlight that factor such as users' understanding of audit, users' neess from audit, auditor’s independence, auditor’s competence, and the insufficient audit standards significantly influence AEG within the Vietnamese context.

Abstract
Biological control is a vital component of integrated pest management, using predators and parasitoids to efficiently and safely reduce pest populations. This review highlights key predatory bug families, Pentatomidae, Geocoridae, Miridae, and Reduviidae found in agro-ecosystems of Gujarat and their role in pest control. By identifying and conserving these predators of insect pests, we can significantly reduce our reliance on chemical insecticides. This sustainable approach can lead to a less harmful and more environmentally friendly pest management system.
Key words: Predatory bugs, Pentatomidae, Geocoridae, Miridae, Reduviidae

Well water is one of the main sources of clean water supply for residents in STIKes Namira Madina. Well water has bacteriological qualities that are easily contaminated. Well water provides water that comes from the soil layer relative to the ground surface. Based on the Republic of Indonesia Minuster of Health Regulation no. 492 of 2010 concerning drinking water quality requirements states that the content of Escherichia coli bacteria in drinking water is 0/100 ml and for well water 10/100 ml. Drinking water and well water must not exceed specified requirements. This research aims to determine the quality of well water at STIKes Namira Madina and bottled drinking water. This research used descriptive experimental methods, sampling, bacterial identification, Gram staining, biochemical reaction tests, sugar medium test, triple sugar iron agar medium test, sulfur indole moltility medium test, urea agar medium test. of the 4 samples tested, 1 sample met the drinking water quality requirements according to the PERMENKES and the other 3 samples contained Escherichia coli bacteria in the well water at STIKes Namira Madina. The result of the 4 samples tested was only 1 sample that was suitable for drinking while the other 3 samples were not 3 samples contained Escherichia coli bacteria.

Published: December 2024

This study examines the effectiveness of an innovative model of integrating financial education into a career planning course at the college level. A total of 104 freshman students (48 in the day division and 56 in the evening division) were sampled. Based on the analysis of the “College Students Financial Planning Survey Questionnaire” revealed that: 90% of the daytime students and 97% of the evening students agreed on the importance of financial education and financial planning in career planning; daytime and evening students share common perspectives on the importance of financial planning in career planning: to realize their dreams, they need to have an adequate financial foundation to support their daily living expenses, and then to plan their financial management well for future retirement security. There are several items of college students’ financial planning status varies between the different education programs. According to the analysis of various score results from the “Career Planning Course Learning Satisfaction Questionnaire”, there was no significant difference across academic systems in the analysis of satisfaction with the integration of financial education into a career planning course; the three most important overall satisfaction analyses all indicate a high level of satisfaction, including: the overall teaching content, the overall content design of financial education, and the benefit of integrating financial education into the career planning courses for personal career planning. Finally, this study offers some specific suggestions for integrating college financial education into a career planning course.
WEIGHTED ESTIMATE OF A MATRIX OPERATOR WITH VARIABLE UPPER LIMIT ON THE CONE OF MONOTONE SEQUENCES

Published: December 2024

Hardy's inequality was formulated in 1920 and finally proved in 1925. Since then, this inequality has been significantly developed. The first development was related to the consideration of more general weights. The next step was to use more general operators with other kernels instead of the Hardy operator. Currently, there are many works devoted to Hardy-type inequalities with iterated operators. Motivated by important applications, all these generalizations of Hardy's inequality are studied not only on the cone of non-negative functions, but also on the cone of monotone functions. In this paper, we consider the problem of finding necessary and sufficient conditions for the fulfillment of a weighted Hardy-type inequality on the cone of monotone sequences for 1<p≤q<∞. The main method for solving the problem is the reduction method, which, using the Sawyer principle, allows us to reduce a Hardy-type inequality on the cone of monotone sequences to some inequality for all non-negative sequences.
