Counteracting Islamophobia through Strategic Media Narratives: A Multi-Case Study Approach
Authors: Elamin Mustafa Osman I.
Published: July 2024

In the aftermath of September 11, 2001, Islamophobia escalated rapidly in Western societies, challenging the integration and perception of Muslim communities. This rise in prejudice has often been reinforced by negative media portrayals, which have shaped public opinion and policy in profound ways. Contrary to this, certain media entities have endeavored to mitigate these negative perceptions through positive representation and constructive discourse. This study explores the role of media in combating Islamophobia, with a focus on how selected media outlets have leveraged their platforms to foster understanding and counteract prejudice against Muslims. Three distinct cases are examined: the documentaries and other programming by Qatar's Al Jazeera English network, the digital content of Islam Online, and the popular Turkish TV series "Resurrection Ertugrul." Al Jazeera English has been pivotal in providing a counter-narrative to Western media depictions of Islam and Muslims through in-depth documentaries that highlight the diversity and richness of Muslim cultures. Islam Online has used its digital presence to educate and bridge gaps between Muslim and non-Muslim communities by offering a platform for dialogue and understanding. Meanwhile, "Resurrection Ertugrul" serves not merely as entertainment but as a significant cultural and political tool that redefines and reshapes narratives around Islamic history and identity, presenting an antidote to stereotypical media portrayals. This study employs qualitative methodologies, including content analysis and literature reviews, to assess the impact of these media on Western perceptions of Islam. Expected results indicate that strategic media content can effectively counter Islamophobia by enlightening audiences, fostering cultural appreciation, and challenging ingrained stereotypes. This research underscores the media's power as a non-state actor in international relations and its capacity to influence social change and policy by reshaping narratives and improving intercultural relationships.

¿Trabajadores Asalariados o Cuentapropistas?: Regulación del Servicio de Reparto a través de plataformas digitales
Authors: Giménez Mariano , Suarez Florencia
Published: July 2024

En las últimas décadas se ha registrado una importante expansión de los servicios de distribución de documentos, mercancías, gestiones, pagos y cobranzas, y entregas a domicilio, tradicionalmente asociada a la figura del cadete o repartidor. Este servicio ha ido creciendo con el paso del tiempo incorporando nuevos trabajadores, muchos de los cuales se han organizado colectivamente en torno a la defensa de sus intereses. A su vez, durante la pandemia fue declarada como una actividad esencial por decreto del Poder Ejecutivo argentino, debido a las restricciones a la circulación. Pero a pesar de haber sido reconocido de esa forma, estos trabajadores desarrollan su tarea en condiciones de precariedad laboral, sin ninguna protección legal. Lo que proponemos en este artículo es hacer una revisión de los actores involucrados en el servicio de reparto y en la disputa por la regulación normativa de esta actividad, mediante la descripción y análisis de diferentes documentos como resoluciones, ordenanzas municipales y fallos judiciales; para finalizar con el examen de un proyecto de ley para el sector, basado en la presencia o ausencia de relación laboral entre empresas y repartidores de mercancías.

Chloramphenicol (CAP) is a broad-spectrum antibiotic widely used in medicine and agriculture since 1948 [1]. Currently, CAP is banned due to its potential health hazards [2]. Therefore, detecting antibiotic residual levels of CAP in food is necessary. The electrochemical method, characterized by its simplicity, speed, high sensitivity, ease of on-site analysis, and low cost, demonstrates potential in assessing antibiotic residual CAP compared to traditional methods such as liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS), liquid chromatography-electrochemical ionization-mass spectrometry (LC-EIS-MS/MS), gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS),...[3]. In this study, a material from zero-valent iron nanoparticles combined with graphene nanoplatelets and porphyrin nanofibers (nZVI/GNPs/TCPP) synthesized through green chemistry methods was used as the electrode material to analyze antibiotic residual CAP in fresh milk samples using cyclic voltammetry (CV) and differential pulse voltammetry (DPV), promising results with a limit of detection (LOD) of 0,1212 μM, limit of quantification (LOQ) of 0,4040 μM, and sensitivity of 0,009998 μA.μM-1.cm-2.

Published: July 2024

Red lava rock is available in nature and is formed from volcanic eruptions. Volcanic rocks are composed of oxides of diverse metals and have considerable porosity. In this study, lava rock powder was ground to a specific size and dried to test its ability to adsorb heavy metals in water. The morphology of the stone powder was observed to show crystals of 100–300 nm in size clumping into particles of a few μm. The phase structure is mainly in the form of Ca(Mg,Al)(Si,Al)2O6; in addition, the phases CaAl2Si4O12.2H2O, Ca2MgSi2O7, and Ca3MgSi2O8 also exist. The material's maximum Pb2+ ion adsorption capacity reaches 32.05 mg/g at endogenous pH. The isotherm of Pb2+ adsorption on the material follows the Langmuir model, and the adsorption kinetics are pseudo-first-order kinetics.
Low-Temperature Catalytic Oxidation of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) using Transition Metal Mixed Oxide Catalysts
Authors: Nguyễn Khắc Tuấn , Duong Hoang Anh  , Ta Dinh Quang  , Lê Minh THắng
Published: July 2024

This paper discusses the modification of MnOx by doping various metals, such as Cu, supported on cordierite honeycomb ceramics, which were easily synthesized by using the impregnation method. The physicochemical properties were comprehensively featured via the BET, XRD, SEM-EDX and H2-TPR techniques. Activity results suggested that the introduction of doping metals significantly enhanced the catalytic performance of Cu1Mn2Ox compared to single metal oxides. Furthermore, in the catalytic oxidation of benzene and toluene, the monolithic Cu1Mn2Ox catalyst demonstrates the best catalytic performance. It was able to completely oxidize the two compounds at 275oC with a reaction velocity (WHSV) of about 18,000 mL/(g•hr) and pollutant concentrations of 7000 ppm and 12000 ppm, respectively. The formation of a Cu-Mn solid solution with spinel Cooper-Manganese structure was thought to be the cause of the excellent catalytic performance of monolithic Cu1Mn2Ox. This resulted in an increase in the amount of adsorbed oxygen species on the surface and a high lattice oxygen mobility. This can improve catalyst reducibility and oxygen species activity, as demonstrated by significantly higher dehydrogenation temperatures of Cu-Mn composite oxides through H2-TPR. Meanwhile, the monolithic Cu1Mn2Ox catalyst showed good stability in 16 hours of testing and cycle ability test and showed great potential in practical application.
Rinnovamenti oscuri. Orrore e umanizzazione del vampiro e dello zombie tra folklore, cinema e serialità televisiva
Authors: Lino Mirko ,   Università degli studi dell'Aquila
Published: July 2024

Osservando il transito del vampiro e dello zombie dalle loro rispettive cornici folkloriche a quelle del cinema e della serialità televisiva emerge un quadro composto da incessanti contaminazioni reciproche, trasformazioni e rigenerazioni. Infatti, grazie ai massicci sconfinamenti in generi diversi dall’horror e una straordinaria diffusione crossmediale, la dimensione concettuale delle due figure sedimentata nei secoli precedenti ha cominciato a non essere più esaustiva: vampiri e zombie rinascono continuamente. Partendo da una breve ricognizione delle “invenzioni culturali” del vampiro e dello zombie, questo studio vuole riflettere sulle corrispondenze allegorico-testuali che intercorrono tra le due figure, provando a delineare le coordinate principali di una dialettica tra continuità della tradizione e forme di trasformazione e rigenerazione. Pertanto, l’analisi si svolgerà lungo una triplice articolazione temporale-tematica, utile a definire il quadro delle corrispondenze storiche, culturali e mediali che intercorrono tra due delle figure teratologiche più incisive tanto del passato quanto della contemporaneità. Inizialmente ci si rivolgerà al contesto dei rispettivi albori folklorici, al fine di tracciare gli elementi di una matrice archetipica delle fantasie attorno alle due figure. Successivamente, ci si focalizzerà sulla coagulazione (trans)mediale, ovvero il processo di uniformità dell’intricato inventario delle voci del folklore in forme letterarie e filmiche che hanno fissato un canone narrativo e visivo. Infine, il percorso terminerà con l’umanizzazione ironica, una tendenza riscontrabile soprattutto della serialità televisiva contemporanea, in cui è ravvisabile una rigenerazione dell’inventario allegorico e figurale dei vampiri e degli zombie, articolata lungo i richiami intertestuali alle forme del passato e il loro transito in generi differenti dall’horror.
Fracture of the distal radius and its surgical management compared to conservative treatment: Systematic review
Authors: Silva Moreira Adson , Perugino Mauro
Published: July 2024

Background: Distal radius fractures are one of the most common fractures in adults, with an even higher incidence in older adults. The main mechanism is the fall on the outstretched hand, followed by sports injuries and road accidents. The complications associated with the fracture can cause joint limitation or chronic pain that can limit the patient's life, which represents a great challenge for its management. Material and methods: This systematic review aimed to identify which approach has the best results in patients with distal radius fractures. Medline and Google Scholar were used as search bases, selecting potential works and important information. Of the 795 papers identified, 57 potential articles were selected. After applying the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 15 works were selected, dividing the patients into 2 groups: those treated surgically and those treated conservatively. Results: The results showed that surgical treatment presents a faster rate of consolidation and a potential prevention of nonunion compared to conservative treatment. However, surgical treatment also presented more complications. On the other hand, conservative treatment appears to be safer and is associated with a lower rate of complications. Conclusion: surgical treatment accelerates the return to work or previous activities earlier and to a better functional status, less pain and greater patient satisfaction compared to conservative treatment. However, conservative treatment appears to be safer and is associated with a lower complication rate. Therefore, the choice of approach to follow must be individualized for each patient, taking into account factors such as age, the severity of the fracture, and comorbidities

Alteration of Sublingual Gland after Exposure to 6-Mercaptopurine in Male Rat: Potential Efficacy of Propolis
Authors: Yahyazadeh Ahmad
Published: July 2024

Objective: Chemotherapeutic drugs not only have a therapeutic effect, but also cause serious damage to healthy organs. In this study, we investigated on the possible efficacy of propolis (PS) on the sublingual gland tissues exposed to 6-mercaptopurine (6MR) in male rats.

Materials and Methods: Twenty-eight Wistar albino rats were allocated to four groups: control (KON), PS, 6MR, 6MR+PS. At 12 days of trial, sublingual glands of all rats were immediately dissected and analysed using the stereological technique and histological examination.

Results: Our findings revealed a significant increase in the total volume of stroma and significant decrease in the total volume of the total volumes of mucous acini, straited ducts, interlobular ducts, and intralobular ducts in the 6MR group than the KON group (p<0.05). A significant decrease was also found in the mucous cell number and the serous cell number in the 6MR group than the KON group (p<0.05). In the 6MR+PS group, we observed that the total volume of stroma, as well as the mucous cell number and the serous cell number were increased compared to the 6MR group (p<0.05). Besides, the total volumes of mucous acini, straited ducts, interlobular ducts, and intralobular ducts were significantly increased in the 6MR+PS group than the 6MR group (p<0.05).

Conclusion: Our results showed that 6MR treatment caused toxicity in sublingual gland tissues, as well as PS application improved such changes in sublingual glands exposed to 6MR.
Case Study On the Landmark Ruling On Jallikattu- A Critical Analysis Contemplating the Deviation from Ecocentric Approach
Authors: Parveen Vahitha
Published: July 2024

The case "Animal Welfare Board of India vs. A. Nagaraja & Ors," which was determined on May 7, 2014 and Animal Welfare Board of India & Ors vs Union Of India & Anr decided on May 18, 2023, dealt with the practice of Jallikattu. Jallikattu is a traditional event in Tamil Nadu and Maharashtra that involves bulls. This activity, in which individuals attempt to seize money fastened to the horns of a bull, has developed into a pastime that inflicts considerable suffering and injury to the animals. The Supreme Court of India determined that the utilization of bulls in activities such as Jallikattu and bullock cart racing amounted to cruelty, therefore infringing upon the animals' entitlements under Article 21 of the Indian Constitution, which ensures the right to life and freedom. The court's ruling underscored the need of ethical treatment of animals, in accordance with current perspectives on animal welfare. The verdict aimed to prohibit these activities in order to prevent the physical and psychological torment of bulls utilized for human amusement during cultural festivities. This ruling represented a noteworthy advancement in acknowledging and safeguarding animal rights in India, but also considering the need to prevent animal abuse and ensure public safety, while taking into account traditional customs. The case exemplified the convergence of law, culture, and animal ethics, establishing a precedent for the compassionate treatment of animals within the legal framework of the country.
Sargassum, Padina and Turbinaria as bioindicators of cadmium in Bais Bay, Negros Oriental
Authors: Ho Ma. Tefhanie , Bantoto-Kinamot Venus
Published: July 2024

Marine pollution is becoming one of the global environmental problems around the world. Heavy metal concentrations in the environment is 100-1,000 folds higher than those in the Earth’s crust due to anthropogenic sources. The use of algae as bioindicators of metal pollution and the effective removal of toxic metal ions has received increasing attention. Brown algae is thought to be excellent in the sequestration of metal. In this study, cadmium (Cd) concentration in the thalli of Sargassum sp., Padina sp. and Turbinaria sp. from North Bais Bay, Negros Oriental was determined using Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer (AAS). The concentration of cadmium in the sediment of North Bais Bay was also determined because environmental pollutants could also accumulate in the sediment. Results of this study showed the cadmium contamination in Bais Bay, wherein Sargassum sp., Padina sp., and Turbinaria sp. absorbed these cadmium ions. Sargassum sp. had the highest concentration of cadmium which ranged from 2.14 to 4.45 mg kg-1 . The concentration of cadmium in Padina sp. and Turbinaria sp. ranged from 2.2 to 3.4 mg kg-1 and 2.36 to 2.76 mg kg-1 , respectively. The concentration of cadmium in the sediment ranged from 3.72 to 5.53 mg kg-1 dry weight. This indicates that these brown algal species could be utilized as bioindicators of cadmium contamination in marine waters and possible phytoremediation of cadmium in wastewater.

This paper examines the project planning specifications for an off-grid water desalination critical infrastructure project in Metropolitan Lagos, Nigeria taking into cognisance the State’s critical infrastructure planning limitations. Technological, financial and socio-economic data for the water desalination project were obtained and the Technology Foresight Analysis (TFA) methodology was used for analysis. The results determined a 100 million litres a day (MLD) water desalination plant design requiring an initial investment of N 70.82 billion. Estimated levelized cost of desalinated water was N 0.89 per Litre of water. With an assumed retail price of N 1.00 per Litre of water, annual revenue and profits were estimated at N 24.13 and 3.638 billion respectively. Profitability indices showed Net Present Values of N 16.15 billion, break-even time of 1 year, payback period of 13 to 20 years, and Return on Investment of 122.8% over the 25-year life span of the project. Socio-economic benefits were determined to be a regular supply of desalinated water provided at a quarter of the extant price charged by water vendors supplying the area and having a daily cost savings of N 100.56 – 201.12 million (N 36.72 – 73.42 billion annually). The study concluded that an off-grid water desalination infrastructure project for the area would be technically feasible, economically viable, and socio-economically worthwhile, and recommended same as adequate and appropriate to be deployed as a strategic municipal water supply alternative for Metropolitan Lagos, Nigeria.

In this paper, the personal entrepreneurial characteristics (PECs) of printing entrepreneurs is used to cross-examine the growth and survival of Nigerian SMEs amidst the challenges posed by technological changes in the digital era. It equally assesses the influence of attributes, skills, competences and traits possessed by the entrepreneurs in sustaining businesses in difficult times. A set of questionnaire was administered on 270 entrepreneurs drawn randomly from Somolu, a well-known printing hub situated in Lagos, Nigeria. Descriptive analysis of the demographic variables revealed the sector as fairly technologically-inclined (51.8%) and non-gender discriminatory (59.3% male and 40.7% female). The study further revealed that innovativeness with a mean score of 3.67, ranked 9th out of the 12 PEC variables used in the study, while commitment and determination, and ability to adapt, both with mean scores of 4.85 ranked first among the PECs. In addition, regression analysis (R = 0.804, R2 = 0.646, F = 5.482, p value = 0.01) revealed that PECs support the growth and survival of small and medium scale printing business in Nigeria, with a substantial 64.6% predictive effect. It is therefore suggested that SMEs should adequately harness these potentials to accommodate the transformational efforts suggested to government and universities in the era.

Background:Teenage pregnancies contribute substantially to global health hazards, particularly in places like Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan. Where social and economic conditions conspire to make unions between spouses early and their childbearing follows soon after. Despite initiatives to tackle this problem, restricted examination exists on the obstetric effects of adolescent pregnancies in this territory
Objective This retrospective study analyzed obstetric outcomes and complications between teenage mothers aged 14 to 18 and older mothers aged 19 to 36 in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan. The aim was to compare risks between the two groups.
Study design: a retrospective study.
Place and duration of study. Department of Gynecology D.H.Q. Hospital Timarghra from 05 march 2021 to 05 February 2022 
Material and Methods:
A retrospective study was conducted in kpk, Pakistan, from Department of Gynecology  D.H.Q. Hospital Timarghra from 05 march 2021 to 05 February 2022 all 14-18-year-olds who gave birth in the two hospitals had obstetric outcomes compared to non- adolescent women (19-36). chi-square and students' t-tests were used with a 0.05significance level.
Results: out Of the 910 births, 128 (14.1%) non-teenage moms, teenage mothers had higher rates of serious anaemia (7.5 vs 4.1%), chorioamnionitis (2.6 vs 0.6%), and post-maturity (4.6 vs 1.8%) and meconium inhalation syndrome (6.5 vs 2.4%), respectively. Teenagers were less prone than adults to be overweight. Instrumental deliveries are more common in teenagers (7.1% vs 2.2%, p 0.01). Preterm birth, low birth weight babies, rds, and neonatal and foetal deaths did not vary substantially between the two groups.
Conclusion: The results of this study showed that teenage pregnancies are associated with a higher risk of severe anaemia, chorioamnionitis, post maturity and meconium aspiration syndrome compared to non-teenage pregnancies. Preterm delivery, low birth weight infant, R.D.S., and fetal and perinatal death were not significantly different between the two groups. The results of this study suggest that teenage mothers need to be provided with appropriate obstetric care to reduce their risk of poor outcomes.

Since the start, COVID-19 has had a wave pattern, fluctuating from surge to nearly touching the base on the graph. Managing a pandemic, that is highly contagious and viral in nature; SOPs and vaccination, were means of coping with such pandemic. But as vaccines had yet to be discovered when COVID-19 started, the only way to stop it was to impose a lockdown nationwide and practice strict SOPs to control virus spread. Since day one, the developing countries are finding it hard to make its subjects compliant with the lockdown protocols as declared by their governments
Conclusion:
A study found that imposing lockdown orders on daily business activities and public gatherings has no significant effects in comparison to a nationwide strict lockdown1.We believe that fighting an infectious disease pandemic by observing SOPs, lockdowns, and vaccination is one of the best approaches, but developing countries governments should have taken into consideration some of the realities that set them apart from developed countries, i.e., the culture and tradition, joint family system, and most importantly, limited resources and a low literacy rate2, which were key points in the near failure of these policies.Now, as COVID-19 keeps its waveform and because of its new strain reporting due to genetic mutations, surges in cases can be seen in future. So, governments It should prepare itself for the new waves of COVID-19. Still, the CDC has decreased self-isolation and quarantine time to 5 days, indicating that lockdown is a second priority and governments should focus on vaccination 3.Considering the resource limitations of developing countries, governments should start door-to-door vaccination campaigns like polio eradication programs in big cities on an emergency basis rather than countrywide, as most cases come from urban areas4. Likewise, educating people through volunteer groups that address vaccination hesitancy and conspiracy theories should be established. The use of facemasks and observance of SOPs should still be followed, and governments should leave the imposition of lockdowns as a last resort.

Background : Incurable COPD is preventable and treatable. Airflow restriction, persistent lung inflammation, and respiratory tract symptoms lead to bronchiolitis and emphysema. It's caused by constant chemical and gas exposure. Comorbidities and exacerbations aggravate COPD, which is caused by complex biological processes. Globally, COPD will be the third greatest cause of death by 2030. Since 16th century, COPD, its diseases, and clinical presentation have been understood. Smoking, tobacco, industrial pollutants, interior pollution, outdoor air pollution, gender, and genetic inheritance affect worldwide incidence, morbidity, and mortality. Chemical exposure and population ageing will exacerbate COPD in the coming years. COVID-19 accelerates COPD and slows recovery.
