Challenging Diagnosis of Intestinal Tuberculosis:
A Review
Authors: Rama Rao Tadikonda , Tabassum Afshaan , Sharmeen Hafsa , Jasmine Sena Jessy
Published: December 2024

Intestinal tuberculosis (ITB), a subset of extrapulmonary tuberculosis (EPTB), arises from Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection, primarily affecting the ileocecal region due to its lymphatic tissue richness. Representing approximately 10% of global EPTB cases, ITB is most prevalent in regions with high tuberculosis (TB) incidence. Its nonspecific symptoms—abdominal pain, diarrhea, fever, and weight loss—pose significant diagnostic challenges and frequently overlap with conditions like Crohn’s disease (CD). This diagnostic complexity is compounded by shared clinical, endoscopic, and histological features, with misdiagnosis risking inappropriate immunosuppressive therapy that exacerbates TB progression.
Diagnostic tools include endoscopy with biopsy, imaging modalities (CT, MRI, ultrasound), and molecular assays like GeneXpert for rapid detection and drug resistance assessment. While histological markers such as caseating granulomas aid differentiation, advanced molecular methods enhance diagnostic precision. Emerging technologies, including next-generation sequencing, CRISPR-based diagnostics, and artificial intelligence in imaging, show promise in addressing diagnostic gaps. However, resource-limited settings face significant barriers, relying on less sensitive conventional methods.
Integrated approaches combining clinical, histopathological, and molecular evaluations are essential for accurate diagnosis and effective management. Strengthening healthcare infrastructure, expanding access to advanced diagnostics, and leveraging innovative technologies are critical for reducing ITB-related morbidity and mortality.

A Study to Assess the Knowledge Regarding Post-Dialysis Home Care Among Patients Undergoing Haemodialysis in a Selected Hospital at Mangalore with a View to Prepare an Information Booklet
Authors: Machado Nishitha Marina
Published: December 2024

Descriptive research was performed to evaluate patients' awareness of post-dialysis home care receiving haemodialysis at a designated Mangalore’s hospital. A purposive sampling strategy selected a total of 30 samples receiving hemodialysis. Data had been gathered utilizing an organized knowledge survey of 30 items, subsequently accompanied by the distribution of an information booklet on post-dialysis home care. The findings of investigation demonstrated average knowledge score (x= 15.8) about post-dialysis home care was moderate. The mean score ranged from 10-21.The mean knowledge score of patients undergoing haemodialysis was 15.8±2.92 and mean percentage (52.66%).No significant correlation was observed between patients' mean knowledge scores along with their age (c2=0.2), gender (c2=0.433) , education (c2=0.02), occupation (c2=0.2) , family income (c2=3.27) and number of years on haemodialysis (c2=0.2) at 0.05 level. Therefore, it underscores necessity to create health educational materials to enhance patients' awareness regarding post dialysis home care. The study concludes educating patients and supplying accurate information can aid in preventing issues.

Impact of Low-Dose Prednisolone on Pregnancy Viability in Women with Recurrent Pregnancy Loss of Unexplained Etiology
Authors: Ehsan Mahmuda
Published: December 2024

Recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) of unexplained etiology presents a significant challenge in reproductive medicine, often leaving affected women with limited treatment options. Emerging evidence suggests that immunological factors may play a role in unexplained RPL, and corticosteroids like low-dose prednisolone could improve pregnancy outcomes by modulating immune responses. This retrospective cohort study examined the impact of low-dose prednisolone on pregnancy viability in women with a history of unexplained RPL. Medical records from reproductive health clinics were analyzed to compare outcomes between women receiving low-dose prednisolone (≤10 mg daily) and those not receiving any immunosuppressive treatment. Results demonstrated a statistically significant increase in pregnancy viability rates (68% in the prednisolone group vs. 45% in the non-treatment group, p < 0.05) and a decrease in miscarriage rates (30% vs. 55%, p < 0.01) among women using prednisolone. Furthermore, no significant differences in adverse maternal or fetal outcomes were observed, supporting the safety profile of low-dose prednisolone. The findings suggest that low-dose prednisolone may effectively improve pregnancy viability by modulating immune activity without substantial risks. However, further randomized controlled trials are needed to confirm these results and explore specific immunological pathways. This study underscores the potential of low-dose prednisolone as a promising treatment for unexplained RPL, offering new hope for affected women and paving the way for more targeted therapies in reproductive medicine.

Authors: Avendaño Reyes Leonel , Macías Cruz Ulises
Published: December 2024

Las actividades pecuarias son negocios rentables, ya que la generación de alimentos y su comercialización satisfacen la inevitable necesidad de alimentar a la población. Además, la producción pecuaria primaria es esencial para el desarrollo de otros sectores por considerarse un sólido impulsor de la actividad económica. El subsector pecuario mexicano sobresale por ser el onceavo productor mundial de productos pecuarios. La crianza de animales domésticos no es solamente para el consumo de carne, sino también se asocia con la obtención de leche, huevos, grasa, pieles y abonos, así como con la elaboración de quesos, mantequillas y cremas. Ante este contexto, es importante que el gobierno adopte medidas para continuar apoyando el crecimiento de este subsector, ya que es responsable en gran medida de la seguridad alimentaria de México. En la medida que los negocios en el subsector pecuario sean rentables, las necesidades de alimentos serán satisfechas. En este documento se presenta una panorámica sobre los principales productos pecuarios que se producen en México, así como las ventajas y desventajas de los mismos, enfatizando en las cadenas productivas de carne y leche de bovinos, pollo, huevo, y carne de ovino y cerdo.

استراتيجيات الخطاب اللغوي في الحديث النبوي الشريف مقاربة لسانية تداولية . كتاب ( المائة المنتقاة من حديث رسول الله ﷺ أنموذجا
Authors: Haleema Al-Amayra
Published: December 2024

This research aims to elucidate the primary discourse strategies utilized in the Hadiths of the Noble Prophet by examining the key linguistic mechanisms employed and their influence on interpreting the intentions of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The study demonstrates how these mechanisms enable the Hadiths to convey pragmatic meanings that significantly shape the thoughts, educate, and guide the recipients. An exemplar of this analysis is the book "The One Hundred Selected Hadiths of the Messenger", where the Hadiths have been carefully selected and translated, illustrating the applicative breadth of the Prophet’s teachings across linguistic boundaries.  Given that the Hadiths of the Noble Prophet represent a legislative linguistic treasure, characterized by structural dominants that align with its discourse strategies, this study employs contemporary linguistic methodologies, notably pragmatics and the descriptive statistical approach, to address its research questions. Pragmatics is particularly relevant as it examines language use as an active tool for impacting the recipient, emphasizing the functional capacity of linguistic statements at the levels of discourse, communication, and societal interaction. The application of the descriptive statistical method enables the delineation of the specific linguistic mechanisms within the Hadiths' linguistic structure. This facilitates the correlation of external formal relationships of the Hadith with its core internal semantics, an essential aspect considering the Hadith's role as a universal communicative act meant to resonate across diverse populations with varying thoughts, beliefs, and contexts. The study concluded that the Noble Prophet, may peace and blessings be upon him, adeptly utilized four discourse strategies through various linguistic mechanisms. A statistical interpretation provided in the results illustrates how these strategies contribute to the propagation of his divine guidance, which remains applicable to human societal development irrespective of time, place, or individual.

Dying with Dignity: The Legal and Ethical Dimensions of Passive Euthanasia in India
Authors: Kumari Pooja
Published: December 2024

In the timeless debate surrounding the complexities of life and death, euthanasia has emerged as a focal point of ethical and legal discourse. The term, originating from the Greek words “eu” (good) and “thanatos” (death), signifies a "good death" — a concept as ancient as the civilizations that first contemplated the dignity of human existence. The Roman historian Suetonius, in his seminal work De Vita Caesarum, recorded the peaceful death of Emperor Augustus in the arms of his wife, Livia, describing it as the emperor’s wish for a swift and painless end — a true “euthanasia” by his own words. From this account, the term began its journey, weaving through European thought and later permeating global discussions.
Euthanasia, or mercy killing, addresses the poignant reality of terminal illness and incurable conditions. It is defined by the Oxford Dictionary as the "painless killing of a person suffering from an incurable illness or in an irreversible coma." Similarly, the Cambridge Dictionary describes it as the act of ending the life of someone who is gravely ill or elderly to alleviate their suffering.
The legal status of euthanasia varies widely across nations. Many European countries, acknowledging the right to die with dignity as an extension of human rights, have enacted laws to preserve the dignity of those at the end of life. For example, Belgium, the Netherlands, and Luxembourg have legalized euthanasia under strict conditions, placing Europe at the forefront of this global debate.
In contrast, India navigates the issue through the lens of its judiciary. The Indian Constitution upholds the right to life as one of its most fundamental human rights. This right encompasses not only living with dignity but also dying with dignity. However, the country lacks specific legislation governing euthanasia, relying instead on landmark Supreme Court judgments. The evolution of this jurisprudence began with the P. Rathiram case in 1994 and culminated in the Common Cause case of 2018, where the court recognized passive euthanasia and advance directives under stringent safeguards.
As the discourse on euthanasia continues to unfold, it reflects society's evolving relationship with the concepts of suffering, autonomy, and compassion. For Europe, with its rich legal traditions and philosophical heritage, the debate remains as much about upholding human dignity as it is about navigating the intricate balance between life, law, and morality.
Euthanasia simply refers to the practice of intentionally ending a life in order to relieve pain. This practice has been on since ancient times. Biblical records even show traces of the practice of euthanasia.
An Analysis of Psychological Well-being among Bank Employees: A Comparative Analysis of Public and Private Sector
Authors: Sonam Sachdeva, Kapil Khatter
Published: December 2024

Psychological well-being is a crucial factor in the successful performance of any employee since interior feelings influence exterior performance. Psychological well-being is the subjective sensation of contentment, happiness, pleasure with life events and one's function in the workplace, a sense of accomplishment, usefulness, belongingness, and the absence of anxiety, discontent, or concern, among others. It highlights the positive aspects of growth and development. The primary goal of this research is to investigate the dimensions of psychological well-being and compare the levels of psychological well-being experienced by public and private sector bank workers in Jaipur City. To achieve the study's objectives, data was gathered at random from private and public sector bank personnel, with a sample size of 60 (N=60), 30 from public and 30 from private sector banks. Multiple correlation analysis is used to investigate goals and test hypotheses based on percentages, mean, and standard deviation. The research found that private bank staff had greater psychological well-being than public bank employees did. Self-acceptance, environmental mastery, meaningful relationships, and life purpose all have a substantial impact on both sectors' well-being. Future study may look at long-term patterns as well as the efficacy of therapies. Banks should promote employee well-being by implementing supportive policies, training, leadership support, and assistance programs to boost work satisfaction and organizational performance.
The relationship between education level and banking adoption among street vendors – A financial inclusion viewpoint
Authors: Praveen Paul Jeyapaul
Published: December 2024

The educational attainment of individuals has long been recognized as a significant factor in shaping their financial behaviours and attitudes, particularly when it comes to the adoption and usage of banking services. There is generally a positive relationship between the education level of individuals and their adoption of banking services. This relationship can be attributed to the fact that higher levels of education are often accompanied by increased incomes, better financial management skills, and a greater understanding of the importance of financial planning and wealth accumulation. This paper aims to provide a comprehensive view of the current understanding of the relationship between education level and banking adoption among underprivileged sections of the society especially the street vendors. To address the research question, data was collected through a structured questionnaire from 477 street vendors in the Virudhunagar district of Tamilnadu state in India.  The research reveals that although most of the respondents have a bank account irrespective of their education status, the number of respondents not having a bank account is higher among those who have lower education level. Based on the outcome of the research certain policy implications and recommendations are made. This research aligns with the Sustainable Development Goals 4, 8 and 10 (SDG 4, 8 & 10).
肋狀波導增加平台的去耦合效應
Authors: 許智捷 許智捷 , 許志維 許志維
Published: December 2024

本論文以SOI結構為基礎，提出一個改良的極化分離器，利用肋狀波導去耦合現象來設計對稱型定向耦合器，在結構中新增一個材料與波導結構相同的平台，增加去耦合機制，將去耦合現象及TM模態截止效應分開，可避免高階模態產生，且有效的將元件尺寸縮小，使TM模態達到不耦合，而TE模態因對稱波導的折射率相等，在設計得當的耦合距離滿足相位匹配條件，將耦合至另外一根波導中，達到極化分離的效果。首先固定波導芯的寬度與高度，設計了不同的平台高度與對應板狀結構高度，板狀結構高度80nm、平台高度超過160nm會出現高階模態。透過分析交叉極化耦合效應發現，隨著平台高度與板狀結構高度下降，都可有效的抑制交叉極化耦合效應，最終板狀結構高度80 nm，平台高度125 nm，為結構參數。

 

Based on the SOI structure, this paper proposes an improved polarization splitter, which uses the decoupling phenomenon of the rib waveguide to design a symmetric directional coupler. A platform with the same material as the waveguide structure is added to the structure, and the decoupling mechanism is added. , the decoupling phenomenon and the TM mode cut-off effect are separated, which can avoid the generation of high-order modes, and effectively reduce the size of the component, so that the TM mode can be uncoupled, while the TE mode is equal to the refractive index of the symmetric waveguide. If the proper coupling distance satisfies the phase matching condition, it will be coupled to another waveguide to achieve the effect of polarization separation. Firstly, the width and height of the waveguide core are fixed, and different platform heights and corresponding plate-like structure heights are designed. The plate-like structure height is 80 nm, and the platform height exceeds 160 nm, high-order modes will appear. By analyzing the cross-polarization coupling effect, it is found that the cross-polarization coupling effect can be effectively suppressed as the height of the platform and the plate-like structure decrease. The final plate-like structure height is 80 nm and the platform height is 125 nm, which are the structural parameters.

 
支持」或「包容」：方位詞「上」和「裡」之語意分析及通用之動因
Authors: 熊慧如 熊慧如 , Hsiung Hui-Ju 陳超然
Published: December 2024

「上」和「裡」是兩個使用頻率最高的漢語方位詞，分別描述主體（figure）和背景（background）所構成的支持（support）和包容（containment）的空間關係。在詞彙發展的過程中，「上」和「裡」從定向性方位詞逐漸演變為泛向性方位詞，此一轉變使得兩者的義項增加，因而造成了在描述某些特定的空間場景時可以通用。本論文以語料庫為本，擷取並篩選所有可同時由「上」和「裡」所定域的方所，一共有二十個，從背景的幾何特徵及主體和背景的功能關係，將這二十個方所區分為六類空間場景，藉此分析兩個方位詞在這六類空間場景的使用類型及其對應的語意。本研究根據詞彙語意的發展及認知語言學的理論架構分析，發現方位詞的泛向性語意及說話者的認知識解，是促使「上」和「裡」能夠互換的動因。此外，方位詞的定向性語意和方位詞組的熟語結構，則是影響方位詞選用傾向的重要因素。

 

The Chinese spatial terms shàng (’上’) and lǐ (’裡’) are two of the most frequently used localizers, depicting the spatial relationship of support and containment between the figure and the ground. Throughout the process of lexical development, shàng and lǐ have evolved from precise localization to generic localization, and this change has resulted in an expanded range of meanings for both. This evolution allows both localizers to be interchangeably applied in describing specific spatial scenes. Adopting a corpus-based approach, we retrieved and analyzed spatial scenes that can be encoded by both shàng and lǐ. These spatial scenes are further classified into six types based on geometric features of the ground and the functional relationship between the figure and the ground. The study aims to analyze the use types and meanings of shàng and lǐ in these six types of spatial scenes. The research reveals that the generic position interpretations of the localizers and the speaker’s cognitive construal motivate the interchangeability of shàng and lǐ. Additionally, the precise position interpretations of the localizers and the idiomatic structure of locative phrases are identified as crucial factors influencing the selection tendencies of the two localizers.

Published: December 2024

Background: Essential tremor (ET) is among the most common movement disorders, yet there are few treatment options. Medications have limited efficacy and adverse effects; thus, patients often discontinue pharmacotherapy or take several medications in combination. We evaluated the economic correlates (healthcare resource utilization [HCRU] and costs) and comorbidities among adults with and without ET and among subgroups of patients with ET prescribed 0 to ≥3 ET medications.
Method: This was a retrospective cohort study using claims data from the Merative Market Scan Research Databases (1/1/2017–1/31/2022). Patients were categorized as commercially insured (22–<65 years) or Medicare (≥65 years) and stratified into 3 subgroups: patients with untreated ET, patients with treated ET, and non-ET patients. The index date was the date of first ET diagnosis or a random date (non-ET patients); post-index follow-up was 24 months.
Results: There were 32,984 ET patients (n = 22,641 commercial; n = 10,343 Medicare) and 7,588,080 non-ET patients (n = 7,158,471 commercial; n = 429,609 Medicare). ET patients in both commercial and Medicare populations filled a numerically greater number of unique medications, had a higher numerical prevalence of comorbidities (ie, anxiety, depression, falls), and had numerically greater HCRU and costs than non-ET patients. Most of these numerical trends increased commensurately with increasing number of ET medications.
Conclusions: Compared to non-ET patients, ET patients have higher healthcare costs and utilization, which positively correlated with the number of ET medications. ET patients often have numerically more comorbidities compared to non-ET patients. This analysis demonstrates the medical complexity of ET patients and calls attention to the need for additional therapeutic options.

Em 2022, uma equipe de professores e professoras do Núcleo de Estudos de Filosofias e Infâncias - NEFI, da UERJ realizou a primeira alfabetização filosófica em Pau dos Ferros, RN. Paulo Freire foi a inspiração, a sua vida e prática educativa, o seu projeto-piloto de alfabetização que realizou em 1963, na cidade de Angicos, RN, próximo de Pau dos Ferros. A partir desta experiência surge a questão:  o que faz com que uma alfabetização filosófica possa receber esse nome? No texto, escrito de forma narrativa com perguntas que  interpelam a quem é docente, coloca atenção na forma, nos comos ou modos, que foram cuidados para desenvolver essa formação. Não pretende-se definir o método para fazer uma alfabetização filosófica, pelo contrário, também com Freire, se afirma que não existe método preestabelecido para isto.

Published: December 2024

Microbial 1 -dehydrogenation of androst-4-ene-3,17-dione (androstenedione, AD) was carried out by highly efficient strain Delftia acidovorans MTCC 3364. This is the first report on use of D. acidovorans MTCC 3364 for bioconversion of AD. The work emphasizes on the screening of suitable organic solvent for biotransformation of AD to yield androsta-1,4-diene,3,17-dione (androstadienedione, ADD).Various alcohols and organic solvents were included in the study as carriers for the addition of AD in the incubation medium. As compared to control, the use of methylene chloride and 1,4 dioxane enhanced the current biotransformation by 130 % and 135 % respectively. Chloroform, ethanol and propanol neither affected biomass accumulation nor the ADD accumulation. n-Butanol drastically affected the process, showing reduced biomass accumulation as well as biotransformation. However, at higher concentration of organic solvents used, decreased yield of bioconversion has been observed as compared to yield obtained at optimum concentration.

Authors: GAUTAM SHILPA , PANDEY VIRENDRA KUMAR , MISHRA DEEPAK
Published: December 2024

Fungal proteases are valuable enzymes with significant industrial and biotechnological applications, including food processing, pharmaceuticals, and waste management. This study examines the biochemical profiles of Penicillium polonicum (PSC3) and Aspergillus niger (PSC5), focusing on their protein content, protease activity, and calcium concentration to understand factors affecting enzymatic efficiency. Results revealed that PSC5 had lower total protein content (4.45 mg/g) compared to PSC3 (8.87 mg/g) but exhibited higher protease activity (0.117 vs. 0.098), suggesting that PSC5’s enzymatic proteins are more efficient. Additionally, PSC5 showed higher calcium levels (128.6 mg/L) than PSC3 (114.5 mg/L), which correlated with the enhanced protease activity. The findings indicate that calcium may improve enzyme functionality by stabilizing its structure or acting as a cofactor. This study highlights the significance of enzyme quality over quantity and provides insights into optimizing protease activity in fungal systems.
Investigating the Impact of Agricultural Practices on Soil Erosion and Sedimentation in Water Bodies
Authors: Malik Asheesh , Somya
Published: December 2024

This paper explores the critical analysis of how agricultural operations affect soil erosion and sedimentation in aquatic environments. Despite being essential for human survival, farming frequently unintentionally triggers a decline in the environment, especially when it comes to soil erosion and the sedimentation that follows in aquatic environments. The complex interaction across agricultural practices and several natural occurrences is examined in this article. First, it examines the different agrarian practices-such as tillage, deforestation, and inappropriate land management-that lead to soil deterioration. Due to the disturbance of the soil’s foundation and heightened vulnerability to eroding, these activities result in the depletion of rich topsoil and sedimentation of adjacent reservoirs.The link between agricultural practices and their effects on soil erosion and sedimentation in water bodies is examined within this paper. Farming methods frequently cause soil erosion and disturbance, which allows silt to enter adjacent water habitats. Hazards to flooding are raised, habitat damage occurs, and the water’s cleanliness is deteriorated. In order to address these problems, the work also covers mitigating techniques including conservation tillage and cover crops. Sustainable handling of water and soil resources depends on a comprehension of these consequences and taking appropriate action.
