Efficacy and Safety of Topical Versus Systemic Isotretinoin for Acne Vulgaris Treatment: A Systematic Review
Authors: Ekore Rabi Ilemona
Published: September 2023

Introduction: Oral Isotretinoin has been used for years to successfully treat and manage severe acne. Topical isotretinoin has also been used to manage acne. However there exist very few studies that assess the safety and efficacy of topical isotretinoin. The aim of this systematic review is to evaluate available literature that report on the safety and efficacy of topical isotretinoin particularly in the management of acne. Methods: A systematic review of existing literature. Online searches were conducted on various databases including PubMed, PubMed Central, Embase, CINAHL, the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, Web of Knowledge, PsycINFO and Scopus. Studies were assessed for eligibility using the specified inclusion and exclusion criteria. The researchers independently reviewed the abstracts and differences were settled by a consensus. Relevant data was extracted from eligible studies, including author and year of publication, study type, research design, number of participants, study aim and main findings from each study. Results: Out of the 274 studies identified through search of databases and registers, 11 studies met the criteria for inclusion in the systematic review. A total of 1129 patients were included in the systematic review. The studies were from different geographical regions and countries. The studies found that topical isotretinoin was used in the management of acne and other dermatological conditions. Conclusion: Topical isotretinoin is comparatively effective for the treatment of acne vulgaris of various degrees of severity, with minimal side effects. Further research is needed to understand its long-term safety, especially for high-risk populations. With appropriate monitoring, primary care clinicians should consider it for moderate to severe acne, especially in high-risk populations for whom the use of oral isotretinoin could be problematic or is contraindicated.

Teamwork in an organization often experiences ups and downs in interpersonal relationships due to ineffective communication-interaction problems. Whereas in addition to leadership issues, organizational effectiveness is also largely determined by the interactions within the organization. Poor interaction-communication is the result of interpersonal ignorance of one another. This study tries to analyze the effectiveness of cooperation based on the machine intelligence owned by each personal organization, where methods like this are relatively not widely known. This study uses an approach that is a combination of qualitative and quantitative in a population of school organizations that consist of one principal and seven teachers. From this study, it was found that (1) relatively small relationship scores exist in four people including the principal as the leader of the organization, and (2) organizational personnel can play the appropriate roles of the five roles based on their machine intelligence. This study concludes that the analyzed school organization has a lot of interaction-communication conflicts, so a personal understanding of each other is needed based on their respective intelligence machines. By understanding machine intelligence, each member of the organization will be able to treat others appropriately both in interaction and communication so that the organization runs effectively.

This research is a qualitative research with a case study strategy. This study aims to determine teachers' perceptions regarding the implementation of the independent curriculum, especially at independent sharing schools. The subjects of this study were Indonesian language teachers and students at SMA Negeri 6 and 7 Surakarta. Data collection techniques in this study include observation, interviews, and document analysis. Researchers used the triangulation method to validate the research results so as to produce findings on teacher perceptions of the independent curriculum. The conclusions obtained in this study are: 1) the teacher's perception from the research above regarding the Independent Curriculum is a curriculum that is "free" for educators in determining learning in the classroom. Although in practice the administrative burden is still much like the previous curriculum. Freedom here, students are given the freedom to determine their learning style and choice of subjects they will study; 2) The terms in the 2013 Curriculum are different from the Independent Curriculum. The material in the Independent Curriculum is more focused and essential, so students are able to explore the material more deeply; 3) the assessment used is different from the 2013 curriculum which emphasizes cognitive, affective, and psychomotor assessments. The independent curriculum contains diagnostic assessments, formative assessments, and summative assessments.

Authors:   Faculty of Economics and Business, University of Mataram & Lombok, Indonesia, Purnama Isnan
Published: September 2023

Mangrove forest ecosystems confer various advantages to human populations, including but not limited to safeguarding against tsunamis and abrasion, sequestering carbon, serving as fish breeding grounds, and providing recreational opportunities. The provision of welfare and stimulation of economic growth for local population can be facilitated by the recreational or tourism value. Nevertheless, the significance of mangrove forests, encompassing their recreational value, is sometimes overlooked. This research examines the various elements that impact tourists' inclination to engage in the preservation of Mangrove Ecotourism, using Jerowaru Village in East Lombok as a case study. This study employed the Contingent Valuation Method (CVM) to determine the average Willingness to Pay (WTP) of tourists in Mangrove Ecotourism, which was determined to be IDR 10,416.67 (0.68 USD) per visit. The total amount is contingent upon factors such as environmental awareness, educational attainment, and income level.

Effects of Band-Resisted Abduction on Muscle Activity between the Barbell Hip Thrust and Barbell Glute Bridge
Authors: Kennedy Derek , Casebolt Jeffrey B. , Farren Gene L. , Bartlett Michelle
Published: September 2023

The importance of hip extensor and abductor muscles for sport performance and injury reduction is well-documented. To target these muscle groups, the barbell hip thrust and barbell glute bridge are used to load the posterior kinetic chain while band-resisted abduction exercises, like band-resisted side stepping, target the lateral kinetic chain. However, combining band-resisted hip abduction with barbell hip-extension dominant exercises has not yet been investigated. In this study, ten male subjects underwent a two-part research protocol with surface electromyography (sEMG) measured during a 5-repetition maximum (5-RM) load performance to determine differences in peak and mean muscular activity between band-resisted barbell hip thrust (BBHT) and barbell hip thrust (BHT), and between band-resisted barbell glute bridge (BBGB) and barbell glute bridge (BGB). The results indicated three significant differences between the pairs, with both banded conditions eliciting greater sEMG activity in the Upper Gluteus Maximus compared to non-banded conditions. However, BGB unexpectedly elicited greater sEMG activity in the Gluteus Medius compared to BBGB. The differences in muscle activity could potentially be explained by reciprocal inhibition and synergistic dominance. Further research is needed to make definitive statements on the superiority of band-resisted barbell exercises over non-banded barbell exercises and transferability to sport performance.
VERBAL AND NON-VERBAL METHODS OF INFLUENCE IN EDUCATIONAL VIDEO CONTENT
Authors: Menshenina Anna , Mironova Alexandra
Published: September 2023

The article focuses on the place of video content on the Internet and the distribution of video content in social networks. Currently, as a result of the active development of social networks and the Internet, interest in educational video content is increasing. The format of short informative videos attracts students with accessibility and understandability. The authors prove that the choice of the habitual, easily recognized form of presentation of educational materials facilitates the perception of information and makes it possible to motivate schoolchildren to expand their knowledge on their own. The authors clarify concept of speech impact in relation to a new form of “learning through entertainment”. Frequent methods of speech impact in videos are indicated. The actualization of verbal and non-verbal methods of influencing the audience is emphasized. Attempts are made to identify the reasons, on the one hand, for the successful memorization of scientific information by schoolchildren after watching the teacher’s video, and on the other hand, the teacher’s reluctance to present educational material in a form that is understandable for the “child of digitalization” in the classroom at school. To reach a consensus between the teacher in a real school and the online blogger teacher, who is often the same person, it is important to be able to combine modern methods of explaining new scientific knowledge based on students’ clip thinking with the traditional system of sequential systematic mastering of basic subjects.

The article deals with the analysis of the linguistic and cultural features of phraseological units with a food component in order to identify the unique features formulated in the process of the gastronomic culture development of Russian national cuisine. The authors analyze the specifics of phraseological units including a food component, due to the influence of extra linguistic factors: historical, geographical, economic, cultural and linguistic types of interaction. The research work reveals the peculiarities of the worldview, character and beliefs of the Russian representatives which is the key influence on the formation and functioning of certain phraseological units with a food component in the modern Russian language. The research work results in drawing up thematic groups classification of phraseological units with food components such as “porridge”, “bread and bakery products”, “spices”, “vegetables” which are identified in the course of study based on Russian phraseological dictionaries; the authors analyze the frequency of phraseological units usage with identified components in the modern Russian language as well present the reasons of the certain food components productivity.
SEMANTIC STRUCTURE OF BLOOD RELATIONSHIP TERMS (FATHER — OTA — PADRE) IN THE RUSSIAN, UZBEK AND SPANISH LANGUAGES
Authors: Saidkhojaeva Mekhrikhon
Published: September 2023

The article is devoted to a comparative-contrastive study of the structural and semantic features of the vertical line of blood relationship (consanguinity) terms отец (Russian), padre (Spanish), oтa (Uzb.), representing the national, cultural and linguistic specificity. Their study led to the conclusion that they are used both in direct and figurative meanings. The conducted analysis indicates some regularities of these terms: men in the descending line use them when referring to older men in age, to the spiritual father, and the women — to their husbands in the meaning of «father of my children». In the Uzbek language, oтa is used not only when referring to one’s own father, but also to one’s paternal grandfather; in Spanish — along with padre, its synonym progenitor «parent» is used to refer to the father.
ANEMONYMS — EPISTEMOLOGICAL BASIS FOR CATEGORIZING THE NAMES OF NATURAL PHENOMENA AS A CATEGORY OF ONOMASTIC VOCABULARY
Authors: Aznabaeva Alfiya , Novikova Olga
Published: September 2023

The article is devoted to anemonyms — proper names of natural disasters. The relevance of the study is due to the scanty, fragmentary data on anemonyms in Russian onomastics that hardly correlate with the results of foreign studies, while before our eyes the anemonym has transformed from a marginal onomastic implicature into an independent onymic unit that performs functions inherent to all categories of proper names. In connection with the climate crisis, the number of natural disasters is growing, not only causing enormous damage to the global economy, but also threatening survival. The linguo-pragmatic conditions for the choice of names, the origins and modern forms of anthropomorphism of anemonyms are revealed. It has been established that anemonyms are formed from anthroponyms (female and male personal names), toponyms, agionyms, caronyms, onyms from the sphere of biota, as well as on the basis of similarity in form.

The goal of the article is to study and describe genre defining potency of argumentation. The genres analyzed are analysis, opinion, editorial. As those genres are characterized by different goals, the argumentation used in them must differ. The analysis findings demonstrated that argumentation as a genre defining tool must be analyzed for such parameters as structure, thesis and argument type. It was shown that argumentation is not the ultimate tool of genre defining.
The Contribution of Science and Technology in Countering Violent
Authors: Mutua Brigadier Joseph Kaku , Reuben Colonel (Dr) John Kisilu
Published: September 2023

This study examines the role of science and technology in countering violent extremism (CVE) in Lamu County, Kenya. The study employed a descriptive research design and mixed-method cross-sectional survey approach, focusing on multi-agency team operations, specifically emphasizing Kenya Defence Forces (KDF) activities in the Boni Forest. The research population comprised key stakeholders and practitioners involved in CVE efforts, totaling 120 officers. A purposive sampling technique ensured diversity within the sample based on participants’ expertise, background, functional areas, departments, age, and units within the Kenya Defence Forces. Data collection involved structured questionnaires and key informant interviews for primary and secondary data from books, journals, and operating procedures. Quantitative data analysis employed SPSS for descriptive statistics, while thematic analysis was applied to qualitative data. The study reveals that science and technology have been integral to Kenya’s CVE efforts, with the National Counter-Terrorism Center (NCTC) playing a significant role in intelligence gathering and analysis using technology. Collaboration with international agencies allowed sharing of intelligence, aiding the prediction of attacks and identification of areas with prevalent radicalization. Surveillance technologies like drones and CCTV cameras have enhanced monitoring in high-risk areas, leading to effective response measures. Moreover, mobile money transfer systems like M-Pesa are beneficial and susceptible to misuse in financing terrorist activities, emphasizing the importance of partnerships between financial institutions and security agencies. The study recommended integrating science and technology with community engagement, education, and policy initiatives. It underscores the need for a comprehensive community-centered strategy in Lamu County, fostering partnership and trust between the government and local communities. Continuous research, capacity building, and counter-narratives using technology are essential for sustained progress in countering violent extremism. While science and technology offer invaluable tools, collaboration, and holistic approaches remain vital to achieving comprehensive results and maintaining national security.
Compassionate Discipline: Providing an Inclusive Approach Toward Students with Discipline-Related Concerns
Authors: Asiatico Ma. Dinah Espartero
Published: September 2023

The Philippine State is committed to promoting people’s well-being by treating and preventing mental health conditions in a timely, affordable, high-quality, and culturally appropriate manner, as stated in the Mental Health Act [1]. The act aims to integrate strategies for promoting mental health in educational institutions, workplaces, and communities. When managing school discipline, some challenges may arise while implementing and adhering to specific systems. These challenges may negatively impact the school’s inclusivity and require some reforms. That’s why the school’s administrators and the relationships between students and adults hold a significant role in promoting better management of disciplinary cases. Adopting a positive approach that factors in their emotional and social competencies is imperative to manage disciplinary matters with students effectively. A group of 16 Student Discipline Investigating Discipline Officers (IDOs) participated in a Focus Group Discussion (FGD) to discuss how they handle students with disciplinary issues, including those with special needs. The study investigated how cases involving students with mental health issues are managed. It identified factors, gaps, strengths, and areas for improvement. It has been determined that establishing a protocol for students with mental health issues is vital, and the service provider (SDFO) will play a critical role in this process.
Exchange Rate Management: Implications For Trade In Nigeria
Authors: Olufemi ODUYEMI Adebayo , Mary HARUNA Timipre , Ndako JOSHUA Adams
Published: September 2023

This study examines the effects of exchange rate management and its implication for trade in Nigeria. Annual data from 1981 to 2018 on Nigeria’s GDP, Global GDP, Exchange rate, Net non-oil trade, and Net commodity trade were spliced into quarterly series using the quadratic sum match method in EViews. The Markov switching model methodology was adopted to capture the impact of regime transitions on trade. The study suggests that a devaluation of the naira would lead to a further decline in net non-oil trade, suggesting that domestically produced goods are giffen in nature, (i.e., demand falls when prices fall), signaling inferior quality of non-oil exports, which therefore require value addition to compete internationally. Furthermore, the study finds that when oil exports are included in the net commodity trade, the giffen nature of Nigerian exports is concealed giving a normality to the nature of all goods exported from Nigeria. The results also show that fixed regimes are less detrimental to net trade. Though a flexible exchange rate enhances the Nigerian net position associated with the depreciation of the naira, the own income and foreign income impact on net Nigerian non-oil and total goods trade is more distortive. Policy recommendations include the adoption of a managed float exchange regime as well as the strengthening of standard agencies together with collaborations between exporters and research institutes towards improving the quality of non-oil exports.

Mental Health Tracker
Authors: Abhishek SR  , Dr. T. Mahalekshmi
Published: September 2023

Mental health and well-being have become prominent issues in the realm of public health. Globally, the prevalence of mental health disorders is on the rise, contributing significantly to the burden of disease worldwide. However, resources and services allocated to address these disorders remain disproportionately inadequate compared to the magnitude of the issue. A substantial majority— ranging from 75% to 85%—of individuals diagnosed with mental health conditions in low and middleincome countries (LMICs) are deprived of treatment due to factors such as limited awareness, shortage of mental health professionals, and pervasive stigma surrounding seeking help.
In the context of India, this treatment gap is further exacerbated in rural areas by factors including low literacy rates, inadequate understanding of mental health, insufficient mental health services, and a shortage of trained professionals. Socioeconomic disparities and a lack of accessible transportation further hinder access to primary healthcare facilities.
To address these disparities in mental health treatment, the imperative lies in developing innovative healthcare delivery models that can be seamlessly integrated into the existing public health infrastructure. A foundational step in this direction involves the identification and categorization of symptoms and emotional states. This is where mood tracking emerges as a crucial instrument. By enabling individuals to monitor their emotional fluctuations, mood tracking provides a valuable mechanism for better understanding one's mental well-being.
The MHT project represents a comprehensive initiative aimed at tracking and assessing an individual's mental well-being through mood analysis. Moreover, it offers a range of preventive measures and coping strategies to assist individuals who may find themselves slightly below the threshold of optimal mental health. By leveraging mood tracking and implementing actionable interventions, the MHT project endeavors to narrow the treatment gaps prevalent in mental health care, thus contributing to a healthier and more resilient society.

The purpose of this study was to determine if participation in a program addressing contemporary issues in animal agriculture had an effect on the students attitudes towards animal welfare, resource use, ' and food safety. The students in this study were participants in the Pennsylvania Governor's School for Agricultural Sciences (PGSAS). Within the five-week PGSAS program, students completed a two-week unit titled “Contemporary Issues in Animal Agriculture. " Three main issues were examined: animal welfare, resource use, and food safety as they relate to animal agriculture. The students ranked food safety as the primary concern with resource use second, and animal welfare third. Scholars with agricultural backgrounds rated specific issues as more beneficial to society than did scholars without agricultural backgrounds. Within the food safety area, both groups identified microbial contamination as the primary issue of concern. With regard to resource use, deforestation was ranked first, and in the animal welfare area, the pre-course issue of greatest concern was providing shelter. Upon completion of the course, within the animal welfare area, animal transportation became a topic of increased concern for both groups. Overall results showed decreased concern after the course by both groups of scholars.

Published: September 2023

The continual improvement of higher education is a concern for anyone who believes that students should be completing their higher education experience with a well-developed ability to think critically at higher levels of cognition. While research has been conducted that assesses the role of teacher behaviors and characteristics and instructional methods in the development of students ’ cognitive ability, little has been done regarding the types and the cognitive design of the academic challenges, written work assigned as an extension of lecture, provided to students. The focus of this study was to use Bloom's Taxonomy to examine the academic challenges provided to students. Specifically the researchers sought to assess how students were being cognitively challenged and how students were being rewarded in the grading scheme for higher cognitive academic challenges. The results of the cognitive analyses varied by course and by type of academic challenge. The observed variation provides examples of the range of possibilities for using academic challenges. Because of differences in the content and structure of the courses, comparisons between the courses should not be made except to provide examples of the different ways to structure academic challenges and the different types of academic challenges that can be provided

Imam al-Suyuthi was awarded by Allah Almighty the breadth of knowledge in seven different fields of religious knowledge, namely the science of interpretation, science of hadith, science of fiqh, science of nahwu, knowledge of ma'ani, science of bayan and science of badi '. In fact, he was so confident in giving himself superiority in front of the general public, he said, "In fact, my mastery of these seven sciences has not matched even among my teachers, except fiqh and history." The result of this research is that the method of istinbath al-Suyuthi in extracting the law of fiqh is not only referring to the Al-Qur'an and as-Sunnah as the main source, but al-Suyuthi also uses the comparative Madzhab approach (Hanafiyyah, Malikiyyah, Syafi ' iyyah and Hanabilah) which of course cannot be doubted the validity of which is comprehensive enough, so that it can give birth to fiqh principles that can be accepted among Muslim communities in general throughout the world, and even in Indonesia it has been made part of his fiqh principles as a valid legal product of fiqh. . Meanwhile, the correlation between fiqh al-Suyuthi and contemporary muamalat practice in Indonesia is still very relevant. Because among the 137 DSN-MUI fatwas (Fatwa 137 / DSN-MUI / IX / 2020) using 30% of the principles of al-Suyuthi fiqh
Language Distance and L3 Japanese Acquisition in Morphosyntactic Module
Authors: Li Wenchao
Published: September 2023

This study applies mathematical linguistics to explore how language distance plays an essential role in third language acquisition in terms of a morphosyntactic module. Data were drawn from 3410 essays written in Japanese by low, middle and high levels of learners from 12 first-language (L1) backgrounds who acquire English as a second language (L2)-interlanguage and Japanese as a third language (L3). The findings indicate that (a) mean dependency distance is an efficient indicator for syntactic complexity of writing proficiency. In both elementary and intermediate groups, learners of highly agglutinative languages are likely to show higher dependency distance than learners from isolated-language and fusionlanguage backgrounds. (b) The frequency and dependency distance are distributed in Power Law Function. Fitting Right truncated Good to the dependency distances indicates that the values of the parameter p ascend as the degree of agglutination of learners’ mother tongue increases. (c) The syntactic complexity in multi-background Japanese learners’ essays highlights that no matter how diverse the learners’ native and target languages are, the syntax is always constrained by universal law, namely, minimising dependency distance. This is in accordance with existing findings in second language acquisition of inflectional languages.

Milk is among the five most sold products in the world, and the dairy market in Brazil is one of the most important segments of the industry. Small producers have a significant participation in the milk chain, although flaws in the production system and traditional techniques are responsible for stagnating the activity, especially on small properties. In addition to this, the level of education of producers is a determining factor in increasing family income. The objective of the work is to prove, through data, the impact of the level of education on the gross family income of milk producers in western Goiás. The data was collected through the application of a questionnaire to 126 producers spread across 26 municipalities in the western region of Goiás, who were questioned regarding their level of education and gross income, which was divided into salaries of up to 5 thousand reais, up to 10 thousand reais and more than 10 thousand reais. When analyzing the data, it was possible to observe the impact of individuals’ level of education on declared gross family income and indirectly relate it to the technology of the system, since of 12 of the 126 individuals who receive a gross salary above 10 thousand reais, 50% have complete higher education, and of the total of 6 illiterate individuals, 100% receive less than 5 thousand reais in gross income. The level of education is related to the gross monthly income of dairy producers, which appears to be related to the level of technical knowledge and use of technologies.
