Authors: Tcaciuc Eugen , Berliba Elina , Bugor Calina , Pretula Ruslan , Olaru-Stavila Catalina , Badarau Ana Maria
Published: December 2024

Introduction. Hepatic amyloidosis is characterized by the deposition of fibrillar amyloid proteins, which result from light chain amyloidosis (AL) immunoglobulin fragments, in the extracellular space and the vessel walls of the liver. A case of primary hepatic amyloidosis without evidence of a primary or secondary cause of amyloid deposition is rare. This case was unique to the Republic of Moldova, presenting a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge for clinicians. Because the liver is rarely affected, this pathology remains underdiagnosed and is associated with a reserved prognosis. Clinical case presentation. An unusual case of primary hepatic amyloidosis is reported in a previously asymptomatic 59-year-old woman who presented at admission with peripheral edema, ascites, and hepatomegaly. Biochemical tests revealed severe cholestasis with normal bilirubin levels and acute liver failure. Liver damage caused by viral hepatitis or autoimmune diseases was excluded. A percutaneous bone marrow biopsy was normal, and Bence Jones protein was negative, indicating no evidence of primary amyloidosis. The definitive diagnosis was based on liver biopsy, which revealed apple green birefringence on polarizing microscopy after positive Congo red staining. Conclusions. The reported case highlights the need to differentiate between infiltrative diseases, such as amyloidosis, when a patient presents with rapidly progressive severe cholestasis and acute liver failure. Future studies should focus on the availability of specific therapies for primary amyloidosis to improve the survival rate of these patients.

Advancements in Diabetic Retinopathy Detection: Innovations in Machine Learning and Deep Learning Techniques
Authors: Kinjal Patni
Published: December 2024

Diabetes, a widespread health issue affecting people of all ages, leads to high blood sugar levels and can cause serious complications if unmanaged. One such complication is Diabetic Retinopathy (DR), which damages the retina's blood vessels, potentially resulting in vision problems or blindness. Artificial Intelligence (AI), including Machine Learning (ML) and Deep Learning (DL), is increasingly utilized to detect DR stages by analyzing medical images, particularly fundus images that capture the back of the eye and are crucial for DR diagnosis. This study explores the effectiveness of various AI algorithms, especially deep learning-based methods, in extracting features from fundus images for DR detection, classification, and segmentation. We identify limitations in current models and propose new approaches to reduce processing times and costs in medical diagnostics, making the technology more accessible and aiding in preserving vision for patients with DR. Our research is the first to investigate the impact of complexity on processing times and costs in healthcare applications using diverse deep learning techniques. We provide a comparative analysis of ML and DL methods focusing on accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, and real-time challenges, aiming to assist academia and industry in developing improved frameworks and overcoming existing limitations.

Abstract This study aims to examine how demographic factors of the participants affect their achievement in completing the 0-72 Months Child Development Course Program. Success in this context is defined by participants' ability to meet the course objectives, which focus on enhancing knowledge and skills in early childhood development. The study employs a quantitative, correlational survey design, with a research population consisting of 681 trainees enrolled in the program during the 2019-2020 academic year. The 0-72 Months Child Development course curriculum prepared by the Ministry of National Education General Directorate of Lifelong Learning was applied to the participants. Data were analyzed using a binary logistic regression model. In the first stage, the individual effects of each demographic variable on course success were examined. In the second stage, the combined impact of those variables found to have a significant effect was assessed. The analysis revealed that participants who were unemployed and those aged 30-39 had a higher likelihood of successfully completing the course. However, participants' purpose of attending the course and their education level did not have a significant effect on the likelihood of being successful in the course. The results of the study were discussed and recommendations were made.

Authors: Grace Wanjiru Kibue  , Benard Kibet Kirui
Published: December 2024

This study was conducted in Nakuru County, Kenya and aimed at assessing the community knowledge of the complex interrelationship between individual and community activities and climate change in Kenya. Specifically, we assessed the knowledge and perception of climate change, grassroot information flow on Greenhouse Gas (GHGs) and climate change, and local practices/activities taken towards mitigation/adaptation to climate change. The study involved both qualitative and quantitative research methods. Data was collected using literature reviews, questionnaires, focus group discussions, and key informant interviews. Descriptive analysis was used to summarize data that were then presented as frequencies and percentages. Chi-square tests were used to test relationship between variables. Eighty (80%)of the respondents indicated that climate change is real, 69% of which attributed it to human activities, majorly (52%), clearance of vegetation. Most of the respondents (63%) had no idea about any climate change policy in the county while barely half (48%) could identify at least 1 greenhouse gas. It was further established that most respondents (63%) obtained climate information from community groups while only 2% relied on scientific sources, which would provide accurate information. Gender and education had significant influence on awareness and attitude towards climate change. These results suggest the need to shape community’s attitudes/perceptions about climate change by sharing accurate information through flexible channels and community involvement in formulation and implementation of climate change policies.

Authors: López Jaime Cesar Alberto , Perzabal Aviléz Carlos Tadeo , Ruiz Cereceres Saul Jasam , Hernández Carreón Danai
Published: December 2024

Introduction: The word bezoar derives from the Persian term “padzahr” or from the Arabic term “badzehr,” both terms meaning antidote or antivenom. Bezoars are classified in trichobezoars, lactobezoars, pharmacobezoars, and phytobezoars, which constitute the most common type of bezoar. Bezoars are responsible for 0.4–4% of all cases of mechanical intestinal obstruction.

Case Report: A 55-year-old female patient, who arrived at the emergency department, presenting intestinal obstruction characterized by the absence of evacuations and being unable to channel gasses with diffuse abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting of five days of evolution. Only important antecedent was days prior to the interrogation of profuse intake of sunflower seeds. Abdominal X-ray showed distension of colonic loops, air-fluid levels, and an image compatible with coprostasis at sigmoid colon. Preoperative tests with neutrophilic leukocytosis with a white blood count of 27,000. Abdominal tomography showed the large bowel with abundant fecal material causing dilation of intestinal loops and abundant liquid in the pouch of Douglas. The patient underwent surgery where it was found a hyperemic and slightly phlegmonous sigmoid colon with thick content inside. Resection of the affected segment and primary colorectal anastomosis were performed. The extracted piece was opened with evidence of sunflower seeds, and was sent for histopathological study, where perforation was found. The patient was discharged five days after surgery with satisfactory evolution.

Conclusion: Phytobezoars represent a very rare cause of intestinal obstruction, even more so in the large intestine. Bezoars should always be taken into account as a possible cause of intestinal obstruction.

The actions necessary for the successful transfer of technology in the pharmaceutical sector—commonly referred to as technology transfer - constitute a systematic procedure. This process involves the transmission, implementation, and adaptation of information, research findings, new technologies, and developments. It serves as the foundation for production processes, control strategies, approaches to validation, and continuous improvement efforts. The specifics of knowledge transfer have been addressed, emphasizing the need for step-by-step documentation of all stages of the transfer process. The role of insufficient documentation of the knowledge required for transfer has been highlighted, as it can lead to ineffective transfer and serious issues during product release. The success of technology transfer is closely linked to the effective functioning of the pharmaceutical quality system at the site of stable production, aligned with the specified quality parameters established during development. The participation of the receiving party in the transfer process and the importance of accounting for and maintaining documentation have been emphasized. Additionally, the significance of the receiving party’s role in evaluating the relevant documents from the transferring party, considering the specific differences between the sites of both parties, has been noted. The importance of analytical methods in their transfer has also been recognized.

In recent years, functional foods have gained increasing importance in the food industry due to their positive impact on health. In response to the growing demand, experts in food technology and healthcare have focused their efforts on developing effective methods for controlling their use to strengthen health, improve nutrition, and enhance overall well-being. The study investigated the probiotic properties of 27 strains of lactobacilli, from which 5 strains with high acid production capacity and antagonistic activity were selected, as well as 3 strains with antibiotic resistance and biocompatibility. Based on the strains L. acidophilus AA1, L. plantarum 8PA-3, and L. rhamnosus GG, a functional chocolate was created, enriched with symbiotics at a concentration of 109 CFU/ml. The strains with pronounced probiotic properties, combined with the prebiotic inulin in a 1:10 ratio, were microencapsulated in a natural polysaccharide. A technological scheme for producing functional dark chocolate with pro- and prebiotic microcapsules was developed using inulin from Jerusalem artichoke in a 3:100 ratio as a sugar substitute.

В последние годы функциональные продукты приобретают всё большее значение в пищевой промышленности, благодаря их положительному влиянию на здоровье. В ответ на растущий спрос специалисты в области пищевых технологий и здравоохранения сосредоточили свои усилия на разработке эффективных методов контроля их применения для укрепления здоровья, улучшения питания и повышения общего благополучия. В ходе исследования были изучены пробиотические свойства 27 штаммов лактобактерий, среди которых было выбрано 5 штаммов с высокой способностью к образованию кислоты и антагонистической активностью, а также 3 штамма, обладающие устойчивостью к антибиотикам и биосовместимостью. На основе штаммов L. acidophilus AA1, L. plantarum 8РА-3 и L. rhamnosus GG был создан функциональный шоколад, обогащённый симбиотиками в концентрации 109 КОЕ/мл. Штаммы с выраженными пробиотическими свойствами совместно с пребиотиком инулином в соотношении 1:10 были подвергнуты микрокапсулированию в натуральном полисахариде. Технологическая схема производства функционального тёмного шоколада с про- и пребиотическими микрокапсулами была разработана с использованием инулина из топинамбура в соотношении 3:100 как заменителя сахара.

The article provides an analysis of data on the impact of drought on vegetation cover. Severe drought leads to the accumulation of salts and ions in the upper layers of the soil, which results in osmotic stress and ionic toxicity of plants. With an increase in the degree of stress from drought, the turgor pressure of plant cells decreases, as a result of which the state of the cell walls changes. The phytocenotic composition of the sands of the Small Moyinkum along the Almaty-Konaev highway has been studied. Vegetation is represented by only 10 plants with a single tree species Ulmus pumila of artificial origin. Botanical studies on the studied breed showed the following: the average dominant and maximum age of the trees was 20-30 years. One of the ways plants adapt to arid cultivation conditions is the presence of endophytic microorganisms living inside the tissues, which largely determine the overall metabolism of the plant. To isolate endophytic microorganisms, xerophytic, mesoxerophytic and xerophytic plants most adapted to arid growing conditions were selected.

В статье приведен анализ данных по влиянию засухи на растительный покров. Сильная засуха приводит к накоплению солей и ионов в верхних слоях почвы, следствием которого является осмотический стресс и ионная токсичность растений. С увеличением степени стресса от засухи тургорное давление растительных клеток снижается, в результате чего изменяется состояние клеточных стенок. Изучен фитоценотический состав песков Малого Мойынкума вдоль автодороги Алматы-Конаев. Растительность представлена всего 10 растениями с единственной древесной породой Ulmus pumila искусственного происхождения. Ботаническое изучение исследуемой породы показало следующее: средний доминантный и максимальный возраст деревьев составил 20-30 лет. Одним из способов адаптации растений к засушливым условиям выращивания является наличие эндофитных микроорганизмов, живущих внутри тканей, которые во многом определяют общий метаболизм растения. Для выделения эндофитных микроорганизмов были отобраны ксерофитные, мезофитные и одноклеточные растения, наиболее приспособленные к засушливым условиям произрастания.

The medicinal properties of fermented milk products largely depend on the quantity and quality of antibiotic substances formed in the products during their preparation, and are determined to a large extent by the species composition and activity of the starter cultures used. Starter cultures must have pronounced antagonistic activity against pathogenic and opportunistic bacteria. In this article, the objects of study were new strains of lactic acid bacteria isolated from natural sources. The main candidates for inclusion in the starter consortium were selected, 7 strains of lactobacilli: 021pK, 022pK, 031pK, 068pK, 071pK, 074kA, 075kA. They have a high rate of antagonistic activity and inhibit the growth of opportunistic and pathogenic bacteria.

Лечебные свойства кисломолочных продуктов во многом зависят от количества и качества антибиотических веществ, образующихся в продуктах в процессе их приготовления, и определяются в значительной степени видовым составом и активностью используемых заквасок. Заквасочные культуры должны обладать выраженной антагонистической активностью по отношению к патогенным и условно-патогенным бактериям. В данной статье объектами исследования послужили новые штаммы молочнокислых бактерий, выделенных из природных источников. Отобраны основные кандидаты для включения в консорциум заквасок, 7 штаммов лактобацилл: 021пК, 022пК, 031пК, 068пК, 071пК, 074кА, 075кА. Они имеют высокий показатель антагонистической активности и ингибируют рост условно-патогенных и патогенных бактерий.

Средняя Азия и Казахстан попадают в ареал арабских завоеваний, здесь возникают мусульманские государства с местной исламизированной аристократией. Средневековые исторические источники упоминают, что города вдоль Шелкового пути населялись мусульманами и тюрками, власть в них принадлежала тюркским правителям. Городище Джанкент — один из хорошо изученных средневековых памятников в восточной части Приаралья, который упоминается, как столица Огузского государства. В ходе археологического исследования, получены материалы, которые дают возможность по-новому взглянуть на взаимоотношения между тюрками-огузами и Арабским халифатом. Археологические и нумизматические материалы свидетельствуют, что происходит налаживание торговли между центрами Арабского халифата и народами, проживающими на территории степной части Евразии, это подтверждают также находки вещей с исламскими символами и куфическими надписями на арабском языке. Перстень с куфической надписью из Джанкента не только показывает экономическое и политическое положение Южного Казахстана в VIII—IX/X вв. но и точно документирует смену эпохи, стилей, культуры и вкусов тюркских племен в период господства Арабского халифата на Евразийском континенте.

The article presents the materials of “Islamic world”, obtained during archaeological works on the settlement of Jankent that are introduced into the scientific circulation for the first time. In 7th — 9th cc., Central Asia and Kazakhstan were faced with the Arab conquests, as a result of which the Muslim states with the local Islamized aristocracy were appeared. The medieval historical sources describe that the Muslims and Turks inhabited the cities along the Silk Road, where the power belonged to the Turkic rulers. The settlement of Jankent is one of the well-studied medieval settlements in the eastern part of the Aral Sea region, which is considered as the capital of the Oghuz State. The archaeological study provided a new perspective on the relationship between the Oghuz Turks and the Arab Caliphate. The archaeological and numismatic materials testify that there was an establishment of trade between the centers of the Arab caliphate and the peoples living in the territory of the steppe of Eurasia. The Jankent ring not only shows the economic and political position of South Kazakhstan in the 8th — 9th — 10th cc., but it also documents precisely the change of epoch, styles, culture and tastes of the Turkic tribes during the reign of the Arab Caliphate on the Eurasian continent.

Published: December 2024

Peer interaction, a collaborative process where students engage in activities such as debates, discussions, feedback, and reflection, plays a pivotal role in language learning. This study aims to examine the impact of peer interaction on enhancing the listening and speaking skills of Kurdish EFL learners in secondary schools. Employing a quantitative methodology with a descriptive approach, the study investigated gender and academic-level differences through statistical analyses. An independent sample t-test revealed no significant differences between male and female participants (p > 0.05), while a One-way ANOVA indicated no statistically significant variations among different academic levels (p > 0.05). Despite these findings, the results underscore the overall effectiveness of peer interaction as a pedagogical strategy for developing communication skills. The study provides valuable insights for teachers and educators, emphasizing the potential of peer interaction to foster active engagement and collaborative learning among learners, irrespective of demographic differences.
‘You Don’t Need the Words to Be in the Book’: The Cultivation of Textual Agency during Families’ Shared Text Experiences
Authors: Baker-Doyle Kira , Coba-Rodriguez Sarai , Vaughan Andrea , Pollins Evelyn
Published: December 2024

ABSTRACT: In recent years, there has been significant interest in designing critical, asset-based family literacy and engagement programs that transform systemic racial and economic inequities and affirm and sustain marginalized families' cultural and linguistic practices. This study draws from perspectives on culturally sustaining family literacies to examine the role that shared texts played in co-learning among families in Read Make & Play (RMP), a bilingual family literacy program in Chicago, IL. As a collaborative practitioner-researcher team, we used qualitative methods to study the experience of parents/caregivers in two cohorts from 2021-2022. Our findings suggest that families cultivated a ‘textual agency’ through adapting, re-storying, and integrating texts and materials into everyday routines and rituals, which transformed hierarchies of knowledge between each other and the texts. This study has implications for transformative family literacy and engagement work, research, and theory-building.

The Influence of Tang Dynasty Buddhism on Japanese Buddhism after Jianzhen’s Eastward Journey
Authors: Ma Zekai
Published: December 2024

As a significant bridge for cultural exchange, Buddhism not only fostered deep understanding on a religious level but also exerted broad and profound influence on culture, philosophy, and art. This paper introduces the life of the eminent Tang Dynasty monk Jianzhen, his journey to Japan, and the lasting impacts of this journey. As a high-ranking monk of the Vinaya and Tiantai schools, Jianzhen felt a strong responsibility to spread Buddhist teachings after being invited by Japanese monks and thus resolutely decided to journey to Japan. In Japan, he established the Vinaya school, standardized Buddhist rituals, promoted cultural exchange and integration, elevated the status of Buddhism, and advanced Buddhist education and research. Jianzhen's eastward journey profoundly influenced Japanese religious culture, while also having a broad impact on education, art, architecture, and the diversification of Japanese society and culture.

The Effect of Credit Accessibility on Profitability of Non-Farm Enterprises in Tanzania
Authors: Kirama Mercy Mathew , Semvua Ramadhani Nuhu
Published: December 2024

Non-farm activities are vital for poverty reduction, economic growth, and diversification in developing countries like Tanzania. However, non-farm enterprises have limited financial support, leading to a shortage of capital, increased vulnerability to economic downturns, and limited access to resources. This study aimed to explore the relationship between credit access and profitability outcomes among non-farm enterprises in Tanzania. Data from the Extended Tanzania National Panel Survey (TNPS) waves 4 and 5 revealed that only 18 percent of all non-farm enterprises had access to credit. Factors influencing credit accessibility include rural residence, working experience, and start-up capital source. However, the study found that profitability in non-farm enterprises is influenced by factors such as Tanzania Revenue Authority (TRA) registration, marital status, education level, location, working experience, and capital source. The study advocates for the implementation of policies that not only enhance credit access through targeted financial products but also support non-farm enterprises with training programs in business management and operational skills, and encourage formal registration with the Tanzania Revenue Authority to increase their profitability and resource accessibility.
Design and Implementation of a Global System for Mobile Communication (GSM)-based Smart Energy Meter
Authors: Smaili Idris
Published: December 2024

A smart meter is an electronic device that quantifies energy use at various periods, which can range from minutes to months. The suggested device gathers data from the meter and transmits it to a central database for storage, analysis, and monitoring of safety-related concerns. Additionally, it incorporates a module that allows for the loading of on-demand units from the energy supplier firm simply by submitting an SMS request. The idea was initially implemented in software and subsequently, a prototype model was produced. The prototype model communicates with the energy service provider to obtain data on the consumed energy using the GSM network. This work aims to present the theory and implementation of remote monitoring and controlling of the energy meter using GSM architecture. This system, based on GSM technology, allows the electrical department to get regular meter readings without the need for manual readings. The work also enables prepaid billing, electricity management, and energy conservation.
Accounting Information Systems: Enhancing Risk Management Practices
Authors: Khalid Khan Dr. Ahmad , Ahmed Khormi Ahmed Mohsen , A. Shah Dr Hassan , Faisal Dr. Syed Mohammad
Published: December 2024

This research explores the relationship between Accounting Information Systems (AIS) and risk management in organizational activities, with a focus on the role of autonomous intelligence systems (AIS) in identifying, analyzing, and managing internal and external risks. A demographic analysis of 299 valid participants—balanced in gender and education levels—highlighted that most respondents held degrees, while some had diplomas. The regression analysis, using risk management (RM) and risk assessment (RA) as predictors for AIS Risk Index (AISRI), revealed a lack of model fit, explaining only 1.1% of data variability. The low explanatory power was confirmed by the analysis of variance (ANOVA), indicating the need for a more comprehensive understanding of AISRI. These findings suggest that RM and RA alone are insufficient for accurately predicting AIS effectiveness in risk management. To enhance predictive accuracy, future research should adopt advanced statistical techniques and incorporate a broader range of demographic and contextual variables. This approach would provide a deeper understanding of AISRI and its applications. Moreover, the study underscores the importance of considering practical implications and adopting a nuanced perspective rather than relying solely on RM or RA in AIS-focused risk management.
