Authors: Amged Mohammed Abdalla  , Amir Mohamed Ali  , Mohamed Nsreldeen Mohamed  , Mohamed Soud
Published: December 2024

Background The appendix, a true diverticulum arising from the posteromedial cecal border. The base of the appendix can be reliably located at the tip of the cecum. The length of the appendix varies and it can be placed in different positions. Anatomical variations in the location of appendix can prove challenging for surgeons.
Aim: To study the anatomical variations of the appendix in patients underwent appendectomy
Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted at the surgical department in Wad Medani teaching hospital during the year 2023 involving 50 appendectomy patients, the collected information was entered into SPSS software (Version. 23) and analyzed.
Results: Twenty-nine (58%) out of 50 patients were females, while 21were males (42%). 58% of patients were between 18-30years. The retrocecal position of the appendix’s head was the commonest anatomical position (68%). The mean length of the appendix was 70 mm. Mesoappendix was complete in 74% of the patients and the posterior position was the most common position (78%). Significant association was found between sex and length of appendix p=0.02 but not between sex and the position of the appendix head p=0.46.
Conclusion: The study concluded that, a high frequency of retro-cecal position was observed and posterior position was the most common appendix orientation, whereas most of the patients have had a complete mesoappendix.
Evaluating the antimicrobial properties of garlic and turmeric against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus
Authors: HARINI GOLI
Published: December 2024

The growing challenge of antibiotic resistance necessitates exploring alternative antimicrobial agents. This study investigates the antimicrobial properties of garlic (Allium sativum) and turmeric (Curcuma longa) against Escherichia coli (Gram-negative) and Staphylococcus aureus (Gram-positive). Using an agar diffusion assay, bacterial inhibition zones were measured after applying garlic and turmeric extracts alongside a standard antibiotic (amoxicillin). Garlic showed larger inhibition zones than turmeric, highlighting its superior antimicrobial efficacy. The findings indicate that garlic and turmeric have significant potential as complementary therapies to mitigate bacterial infections and reduce reliance on synthetic antibiotics.

HONNETH VS HABERMAS: O DE POR QUÉ LA TEORÍA DEL RECONOCIMIENTO DEBERÍA SER ENTENDIDA COMO UNA ALTERNATIVA A LA TEORÍA DE LA ACCIÓN COMUNICATIVA
Authors: González Martín Fleitas
Published: December 2024

El artículo aborda la confrontación de las teorías del reconocimiento (de Axel Honneth) y de la acción comunicativa (de Jürgen Habermas) en sus intentos de renovar la tradición de la Escuela de Frankfurt. Dentro del debate de si la primera es una alternativa o un complemento de la segunda, el presente trabajo articula una serie de argumentos en favor de la opción inicial, atendiendo al interés que la teoría del reconocimiento tiene, desde sus inicios, de dar cuenta de los conflictos morales subyacentes a la división social del trabajo. Para ello se sintetizan los tres ejes a partir de los cuales se establece la confrontación entre los programas de Honneth y Habermas, se indican a continuación las significativas limitaciones que la teoría de la acción comunicativa tiene para dar cuenta de los conflictos morales alojados en la sociedad civil (Bürgerliche Gesellschaft), y finalmente, se explica críticamente el valor heurístico promisorio que la teoría del reconocimiento abriga a la hora de reconstruir la complejidad moral que se apiña en el mundo del trabajo «posindustrial» de nuestro tiempo.
OS SENTIDOS DO TEMPO NO PENSAMENTO DE KARL MARX
Authors: Lima Gerson Lucas Padilha de
Published: December 2024

A intenção deste texto é realizar um diagnóstico crítico das formas de ser do tempo na obra de Karl Marx. Assim vamos explicitar os sentidos do tempo que influenciam a condição humana em geral e de que modo e sob que condições sua subsunção ao tempo fetichizado do capital arruína a vida humana na sociedade capitalista. A metodologia aplicada foi a de análise e revisão bibliográfica das obras de Marx e da bibliografia secundária afim de apreender dialeticamente as determinações e relações recíprocas entre as principais noções de tempo na obra marxiana. O tempo de trabalho médio socialmente necessário se põe como fundamento do valor das mercadorias na sociedade burguesa. Todavia, sua expressão e as contradições que ele enseja são ocultadas para os agentes da troca; e ao mesmo tempo ele se impõe como a forma dominante sobre os modos de ser, de pensar e agir na sociedade capitalista.  A partir desta análise vislumbra-se a possibilidade do tempo livre que se põe como horizonte da crítica social, pois aponta para uma dimensão que possibilita a superação concreta das condições do tempo histórico do capital. Assim o tempo livre se põe como a possibilidade de efetivação da liberdade, da igualdade e da justiça social, elementos prometidos, porém não realizados na dinâmica abstraidora da sociedade burguesa. Tal construção processual tem possibilidade de se efetivar mediante os potenciais latentes e manifesto, porém, abafados, na imanência das contradições da sociedade vigente.
CONTRAPONTOS FEUERBACHIANOS ÀS TESES MARXIANAS SOBRE FEUERBACH
Authors: Lopes Júlio Aurélio Vianna
Published: December 2024

Pesquisa teórica que detecta, em obras de Feuerbach publicadas e conhecidas por Marx no período durante o qual escreveu suas Teses Ad Feuerbach (só publicadas após a morte de ambos), para destacar naquelas certas formulações feuerbachianas contrárias às críticas marxianas então formuladas (embora somente guardadas) ao seu pensamento. Objetivando ampliar a compreensão do pensamento de Feuerbach nos aspectos criticados por Marx nas teses de 1845, o autor discute suas (im)pertinências teóricas, à medida que as formulações feuerbachianas detectadas, e correspondentes a contrario sensu das críticas marxianas, assentam o oposto às conclusões de eventual sentido passivo-contemplativo, ao evidenciarem uma passionalidade racional transformadora da realidade na qual imerge a humanidade. Neste sentido, procedeu à discussão elencando cada tese marxiana juntamente às formulações feuerbachianas correspondentes porque especificamente contrárias a elas e conclui por compreender o contraste entre ambos os filósofos como exprimindo duas vias políticas distintas à emancipação humana, embora elas sejam igualmente críticas da miséria humana à qual se opõem e visam superar, totalmente, como ativistas revolucionários.

Influence of Spearmint (Mentha spicata) growth performance, hematological and lipid profile of broiler
Authors: Jaman Md. Arafat
Published: December 2024

Introduction: Antibiotics and growth stimulants provide health hazards, prompting a demand for antibiotic-free organic broiler production. Natural plant-based feed additives are both safe and cost-efficient. This study aimed to thoroughly investigate the dietary impact of spearmint in various dosages on broiler production performance, hematobiochemical profile, bacterial load, and cost-effective performance. Materials and methods: In the experiment, a total of 225-day-old Cobb 500 broiler chicks were randomly selected into five experimental groups, each consisting of three replications of 15 birds. Groups T0, T1, T2, T3, and T4 consumed basal feed supplemented with 0 ml, 1 ml, 2 ml, 3 ml, and 4 ml of spearmint juice, and the treatment was given at 7 days to 28 days, respectively. Results: In this study, the T0 and T4 groups' total feed intake was considerably (P 0.05) lower than that of the T1, T2, and T3 groups. Following T1, T3, T4, and T0 groups, group T2 received a 2 ml spearmint treatment, which resulted in a considerably (P 0.05) greater final live weight. The T2 group had a significantly (P 0.05) better feed conversion ratio (FCR) in comparison to the T0, T1, T3, and T4 groups. The weight of the broiler chicken's organs (carcass weight, thigh, breast muscle, drumsticks, wings meat, liver, heart, gizzard, and other organs) and dressing % were significantly affected by any of the treatment groups (P 0.05). Dietary additions affected (P 0.05) the hematobiochemical parameters (concentration of haemoglobin, ESR, WBC, RBC, and lipid profile). Compared to the T0 group, the faecal bacterial load was reduced in the T1, T2, T3, and T4 groups. Conclusion: T2 is more cost-effective than other groups because of their faster rate of body growth. The 2% spearmint-treated group had birds with increased body weight, better FCR, and higher feed intake. Overall, 2% spearmint addition proved to be more beneficial than other treatment groups.
Energy Transition in Azerbaijan: Advantages of System Value Analysis and Strategic Role of the Global Climate Actors
Authors: Özer Sanem , Akay Atiye Beyhan , Atvur Senem
Published: December 2024

Azerbaijan, a country with hydrocarbon resources, seeks to restructure its economy and energy system to become more resilient to climate change. The European Union's call for international climate action offers opportunities for a green energy transition in Azerbaijan. However, the economic, social, climatic, and environmental elements driving this transition are understudied. This article follows the example of the World Economic Forum’s System Value Analysis to study how complementary the impact of policies and solutions targeting sustainable development, the environment, climate action, and the green energy transition is in Azerbaijan. For this purpose, we analyze the energy market in Azerbaijan and the potential of renewable energy resources. The main aim is to reveal not only the economic advantages of the energy transition but also its political and strategic contribution to Azerbaijan. We argue that Azerbaijan's strategic engagement with the EU is crucial, as it serves as a means for Europe to bolster energy security and assist Azerbaijan in its political drive and strategy for transitioning to green energy. Additionally, it fulfills Azerbaijan's commitments to global climate initiatives.
PRESUPPOSITIONS AND LEVELS OF UNDERSTANDING IN SCIENTIFIC EXEGESIS: Insights from Indonesian Quranic Scholars
Authors: Iqbal Muhammad , Asfahani Mohammad Ali Rezaei , Tousi Hamid Reza
Published: December 2024

This study explores the presuppositions underlying scientific exegesis as discussed by Indonesian Quranic scholars. Focusing on horizontal gradations of understanding, it examines their role in shaping the necessity for scientific interpretation. Since the 1960s, Indonesia has witnessed significant growth in scientific exegesis, leading to the emergence of three distinct generations of exegetical thought. These developments are rooted in foundational presuppositions (mabna), which drive the evolution of interpretive approaches. Using a literature review method, the research analyzes documents and applies content analysis to identify key insights. The study concludes that the horizontal gradation of understanding, reflecting the Qur’an’s comprehensiveness and its numerous scientific verses, serves as the foundational presupposition for Indonesian scientific exegetes in employing scientific methodologies for Quranic interpretation. This approach underscores the dynamic interplay between scientific perspectives and Quranic understanding within the Indonesian context.

RECENT DYNAMICS AND GEOMORPHOGENESIS OF BLOCK STRUCTURES IN THE MIDDLE DNIEPER REGION BASED ON STRUCTURAL AND MORPHOMETRIC MAPS
Authors: Tustanovska L.V.
Published: December 2024

The purpose of the research carried out on the territory of the Middle Dnieper Region is to determine the degree of dynamics of block structures and tectonic zoning with manifestations of structural and tectonic elements consistent with cartographic materials of geological surveys and field observations. The terrain is genetically related to the geological history of the formation of tectonic structures. The main relief elements are valley thalwegs and watershed lines, the formation of which reflects the interaction of tectonic movements with denudation and accumulation. To study the latest tectogenesis of the Middle Dnieper Region, a set of methods was used, primarily geological and geomorphological studies and structural and morphometric analysis in combination with materials from remote sensing of the Earth and analytical systems, which made it possible to confirm the genetic connection between the processes of geomorphogenesis and tectogenesis, between the forms of the earth’s surface and the structures of the earth’s surface. The use of Earth remote sensing data provided a high-quality interpretation of geological and geomorphological data and made it possible to construct a number of models and reconstruct the tectonic evolution of the Middle Dnieper Region, at the latest and present stages. The constructed high-order maps of the differences in the base surfaces allowed us to identify tectonic blocks and determine their dynamics. The lattice structure of the river network, which is confined to linearly elongated tectonic structures – fracture zones, fault zones that were active in modern times were discovered, delimiting regional block structures, against which smaller structures (microblocks) stand out. The resulting maps identified the main tectonic zones with different directions and intensities of differentiated movements at a maximum depth of 50–70 m. For the first time in the Middle Dnieper Region, the structural-morphometric method has been used to determine the peculiarities of regional and local factors of neotectogenesis, to refine the tectonic zoning, and to identify small microblock structures with heterogeneous dynamics in each of them. In the Middle Dnieper Region, according to the data obtained, areas with the greatest neotectonic activity of ascending movements and block structures were identified. For the first time on the territory of the Middle Dnieper Region, the method of structural morphometry, the features of regional and local factors of new tectogenesis were taken, tectonic zoning and small structures (microblocks) with heterogeneous dynamics in each of them were distinguished. The results show high efficiency of involvement of structural morphometry in a complex of methods of geological study and mapping of complex regions and are important for the analysis of the development of dangerous geological processes within the Middle Dnieper Region.
Relationship between moral intelligence and corruption tolerance among public sector employees: Does life satisfaction matter?
Authors: Ogungbamila Bolanle , Ajayi Oluwaseyi Femi
Published: December 2024

Corruption tolerance may encourage corruption in public sector employees and reduce their willingness to engage in whistleblowing or support anti-corruption crusades. Though previous studies have shown that corrupt tendencies may reduce with morality and life satisfaction, there is a need to investigate the level at which corruption tolerance (which may be an important variable in whistleblowing) is related with moral intelligence and whether life satisfaction moderates the relationship. Using a cross-sectional survey, 495 public sector employees (207 males; 288 females), whose ages ranged between 21 and 60 years (meanage = 38.39; standard deviation = 7.46), were selected across 7 ministries in Nigeria. The participants responded to measures of corruption tolerance, moral intelligence, and life satisfaction. Results of the hierarchical multiple regression indicated that moral intelligence and life satisfaction had a significant joint influence on corruption tolerance. Corruption tolerance significantly reduced as employees’ level of moral intelligence increased and as they became more satisfied with important aspects of their life. Results of the moderation test indicated that life satisfaction significantly increased the level at which moral intelligence reduced corruption tolerance; leading to 18% further reduction in corruption tolerance. Moral intelligence and life satisfaction reduced employees’ tolerance for corruption. In order to reduce tolerance for corruption, public sector organizations, in conjunction with relevant agencies, should design and implement psychological programs that would help employees manage their moral intelligence and life satisfaction.

This classroom action research was conducted to examine the extent to which the application of the Team Game Tournament (TGT) model combined with the Quizizz game media can increase students' learning motivation. The subjects of this study were 30 students of class XII I of SMAN 5 Kupang. This research was carried out in two cycles, each cycle consisting of stages of planning, implementation, observation and reflection. The data measured were the activeness and learning motivation of students. The activeness of students was measured using an observation sheet of learning implementation observed by two observers, while learning motivation was measured using a motivation questionnaire consisting of 20 items. The indicators measured in the motivation questionnaire consisted of attention, relevance, satisfaction, and confidence. The data were analyzed descriptively. The results of the study obtained: 1) in cycle I, students were seen to be inactive, lacking initiative in noting down important points about the material, and in cycle II they were seen to be active and enthusiastic in answering questions from teachers and friends, and were brave enough to ask questions. 2) students' learning motivation increased, in cycle I 60% were very good: 6.66 were quite good: and 33% were not good. While in cycle II, 90% of students were categorized as very good, and 10% were quite good. The results of this study indicate that the use of the TGT model based on Quizizz media can increase students' learning activity and motivation.

Published: December 2024

The qualities of both fresh and hardened perlite self-compacting concrete are assessed in this study. The self-compacting concrete mix utilized in this investigation included 594 kg/m3 of binder. Four concrete mixes were tested with perlite used in place of some of the coarse aggregate at volumetric ratios of (0, 20, 40, and 50) %. Slump flow, V-funnel, L-Box, and segregation index tests were used to evaluate the properties of fresh concrete. At 56 days after burning, hardened concrete is tested. These tests gauge a material's flexural, splitting, and compressive strengths. According to the data perlite content reduces workability. The percentage of perlite increases causes a considerable decrease in the compressive, flexural, and splitting tensile strengths when compared to the reference mixture. Following their burning at (300, 500, and 700 °C), half of the specimens cooled gradually before being tested, while the other half cooled rapidly. The residual percentages of Compressive strength at 56 days after burning were the most at 50% perlite, with (89.75,65.21, and 42.86) % at 300, 500, and 700 Co, respectively for gradual cooling. The residual percentages of Splitting tensile strength at 56 days after burning for PG50% were (98.85,85.22and 51.31) % at 300, 500, and 700 Co, respectively for gradual cooling.

This research aims to examine the effects of transformational leadership, emotional intelligence and job satisfaction on job performance in public sector organizations. It also determines the role of job satisfaction as a mediator of the relationship between transformational leadership and emotional intelligence on job performance. This research was conducted at the Directorate General of Customs and Excise Indonesia (DGCE). Primary data was obtained through questionnaire with a total of 611 respondents from ASN employees in each of DGCE units starting from the head office, vertical offices and technical implementation units. The research hypothesis was tested using partial least squares structural equation model (PLS-SEM). The results of this research show that transformational leadership and emotional intelligence have a significant influence on job performance and job satisfaction. However, job satisfaction does not have a significant influence or mediating role on job performance in DGCE.

Workflow automation plays a vital role in developing efficient government operations. Anchored on the Technology Acceptance Model, this descriptive-correlational study evaluated the efficiency of using automation tools in key work processes of a Philippine government agency. A census of the population was used to gather data from the 31 employees directly involved in the subject agency’s automation processes. Data were collected through a researcher-structured, validated questionnaire via Google Forms. These data were analyzed using frequency, percentage, weighted mean, multiple linear regression, ANOVA and Pearson r correlation analysis. The findings indicated that automation tools significantly enhanced the efficacy of key work processes in terms of speed, accuracy, and collaboration. Moreover, the study also revealed that employees are generally satisfied with performing routine and repetitive tasks because of the benefits of automation tools. However, the efficacy of key work processes is not significantly related to their overall job satisfaction. The study also revealed that the perceived impact of automation tools on key work processes is not affected by the demographic profile of the employees. This study also revealed that staff resistance and system integration issues are major barriers to the adoption of workflow automation. Furthermore, the study confirmed that there was no statistically significant correlation between perceived ease of use and problems encountered with automation tools.  A strategic roadmap is proposed to improve workflow automation efficiency and address adoption-related challenges. This study also offers valuable insights for other government agencies seeking to introduce and assess similar technologies to enhance workflow and operational efficiency.
Environmental Accounting Practices and Corporate Global Performance in an Emerging Market: The Mediating Role of Environmental Disclosure
Authors: Hammami Hanan , Zouaoui Mahmoud
Published: December 2024

Environmental accounting practices (EAP) serve as a comprehensive system for monitoring and reporting environmental facts, effectively addressing the limitations of traditional accounting. A review of the literature indicates that most studies on EAP have primarily focused on demonstrating their positive impact, particularly on companies’ financial performance. The objective of this study is to empirically examine the relationship between EAP and corporate global performance (CGP), incorporating environmental and commercial dimensions. Drawing on the contractual approach and legitimacy theory, we propose a research model that elucidates the mechanisms through which EAP influences CGP, with a focus on the indirect effect of environmental disclosure on this relationship. The primary contribution of this research lies in the development of a conceptual model that integrates variables suggested in the literature but never tested together. To the best of our knowledge, no prior studies have explored the indirect effects of environmental disclosure on the EAP-CGP relationship. Our findings indicate that EAP has a positive influence on all three dimensions of global performance. The results also demonstrate that environmental disclosure mediates the relationship between EAP and the financial and commercial dimensions of performance.

Significant issues with water management and security face the countries of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC); these challenges are worsened by pressures from economic expansion, population growth, and climate change. Islamic financial instruments such as Zakat and Waqf provide creative means of addressing these issues. This paper examines the possible effects of Zakat and Waqf on sustainable water management and security solutions in the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) countries, emphasizing their historical relevance, current uses, and potential future developments. A multidisciplinary method was used to conduct a thorough analysis, incorporating viewpoints from Islamic finance, environmental science, and public policy. A qualitative research method was used through literature review, and interview with about twelve (12) pertinent people from six (6) categories of people to gather data. The conclusions of this research imply that Zakat and Waqf have a great deal of potential to support OIC nations’ sustainable water management and security. The study concludes with actionable suggestions for governments, NGOs, policymakers, and community leaders with the goal of maximizing the application of Zakat and Waqf to resolve water-related issues. In order to accomplish sustainable development goals, this research emphasizes how crucial it is to include traditional Islamic financial tools into contemporary water management systems.

Sosyal medya; son yıllarda haber almak, iletişim kurmak, içerik paylaşmak, sosyalleşmek, e- ticaret yapmak gibi çok farklı gerekçelerle kullanılmaktadır. Kullanım alanı geniş olmakla birlikte, kullanıcıların güven duymakta zorlandıkları bir mecra olma özelliği de taşımaktadır. Özellikle kullanıcıların sosyal medyada yer alan haberlere karşı şüphe ile yaklaştıklarını ifade eden birçok çalışma bulunmaktadır. Bununla birlikte Türkiye’de 2024 yılı itibariyle 75 milyona yakın internet kullanıcısının, 57 milyonunun aynı zamanda sosyal medya kullanıcısı olduğu bilinmektedir. Söz konusu rakamlar; sosyal medya platformu sahibi işletmelere ya da yöneticilerine, bu denli büyük bir pazarda yer alan, kullanıcı ve tüketici güvenini dikkate alma zorunluluğu getirmektedir. Günümüzde kullanıcıların haber tüketimlerini genellikle sosyal medya aracılığı ile gerçekleştirdikleri görülmektedir. Ayrıca sosyal medya ortamlarında yayınlanan haberlerin doğruluğu sorgulanmaktadır. Bu nedenle sosyal medya ortamlarında yayınlanan haberlere yönelik tüketici güveni araştırılmasının gerekliliği büyük önem taşımaktadır. Bu çalışmanın amacı; sosyal medya ortamlarında yayınlanan haberlere güveni değerlendirmek amacıyla kullanıcıların sosyal medya üzerindeki farklı ortamlardan okudukları haberlere olan güven ve doğrulama düzeylerini etkileyen faktörlerin ölçülmesidir. Ayrıca kullanıcıların bu faktörlerin demografik değişkenlerine göre farklılık gösterip göstermediği incelenmiştir. Bu bağlamda araştırmada nicel araştırma yöntemi kullanılmış ve ankete dayalı araştırma tekniği uygulanmıştır. Bir vakıf üniversitesinde öğrenim gören öğrenciler üzerinde yapılan anket çalışması ile elde edilen bulgularda; katılımcıların sosyal medya üzerinden okudukları haberlere ilişkin güven düzeylerinin haber türleri doğrulama/güven, sosyal medya haberlerine güven motivasyonları ve sosyal medya haberlerine güven ve doğrulama motivasyonları arasında farklılık gösterdiği sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Katılımcıların sosyal medya haberlerine güven ve doğrulama motivasyonları arttıkça sosyal medya haber türlerini doğrulama düzeyleri ve sosyal medya haberlerine güven motivasyonları düzeyleri artmakta olduğu gözlemlenmiştir.
