Exploring Historical Echoes: Unveiling the Allegorical Connection Between A Clash of Kings and The War of the Roses
Authors: P. Deepan Chakravarthi  , Dr. S. Alexander
Published: February 2025

In this research article, the analysis explores into George R.R. Martin's complex combining of historical allegory from the 15th-century The War of the Roses into his epic fantasy, A Clash of Kings. The analysis reveals similarities between important historical characters from Westeros, including Richard III and Henry VII, and shows how the political complexities of real-world inspiration are reflected in the fictional battles of the book. Beyond war scenes, the research highlights the significance of family dynamics in historical and fictional contexts, suggesting parallels between The War of the Roses and the power struggles in the Seven Kingdoms. Additionally, the narrative complexities in A Clash of Kings are examined, highlighting the seamless blending of historical events into the fantasy plot. For instance, the conflict between the Starks and the Lannister’s recalls images of the York’s and Lancaster’s historical struggles (Neubauer 30; Martin 245). Ultimately, this article indicates that Martin's novel serves as a bridge between historical events and the fantastical world of Westeros, providing readers with a rich and engaging experience that goes beyond genre and era conventions.
Pentingnya Self Learning Dalam Perspektif Islam Menurut Surat Al Alaq Tafsir Al Misbah Karya Qurai Syihab
Authors: Haryadi Hasan Dedy
Published: February 2025

Latar Belakang: Kista koledokus merupakan dilatasi kistik dari saluran empedu, baik intra maupun ekstrahepatik, yang dapat menyebabkan obstruksi biliaris dan sirosis biliaris progresif. Kondisi ini sering dikaitkan dengan trias klasik berupa nyeri perut kanan atas, massa intraabdomen, dan ikterus obstruktif. Modalitas pencitraan seperti MRCP dan ERCP dianggap sebagai standar emas untuk mendiagnosis kista koledokus dan anomali terkait. Tujuan: Artikel ini bertujuan untuk memahami tantangan diagnostik kista koledokus melalui analisis kasus seorang pasien dewasa muda dengan gejala klinis dan pencitraan yang tidak khas. Paparan Kasus: Seorang laki- laki, 19 tahun, datang dengan nyeri perut kanan atas, mual, muntah, urine berwarna seperti teh, tinja berwarna dempul, dan gatal-gatal. Pemeriksaan laboratorium menunjukkan obstruksi saluran empedu. Pemeriksaan USG abdomen mencurigai adanya kista koledokus, namun MRCP menyimpulkan batu pada duktus biliaris komunis dengan dilatasi duktus hepatikus kanan kiri, duktus hepatikus komunis, duktus sistikus, dan duktus biliaris komunis. Pasien direncanakan prosedur ERCP untuk evakuasi batu namun evakuasi gagal dilakukan diduga akibat obstruksi pada duktus koledokus dengan kemungkinan kista koledokus. Pasien kemudian menjalani operasi. Diagnosis tegak dengan ditemukan kista koledokus tipe 1C. Pasien mengalami perbaikan klinis dan laboratorium setelah operasi. Kesimpulan: Kista koledokus pada orang dewasa lebih sering muncul dengan gejala mirip batu empedu seperti nyeri perut kanan atas dan tanda-tanda obstruksi bilier, dibandingkan massa intraabdomen. Kegagalan interpretasi MRCP pada kasus ini menunjukkan pentingnya pemahaman yang mendalam mengenai kista koledokus, dan perlunya kehati-hatian dalam evaluasi diagnostik dan penggunaan modalitas pencitraan.

Garlic peel, by-product obtained from peeling garlic bulbs (Alium sativum L.) contains important amounts of proteins, fibers, minerals, carbohydrates and a number of biologically active compounds. The purpose of this paper was to determine the content of mineral elements in the garlic peel obtained by peeling the local white garlic bulbs sold in local markets and to evaluate their mineral intake. The average values obtained when determining the mineral content: 30.23 mg/100g Na, 1786 mg/100g K, 6074 mg/100g Ca, 542 mg/100g Mg, 5.74 mg/100g Fe, 0.382 mg/100g Mn, 2.51 mg/100g Zn, and 0.816 mg/100g Cu, shows that the analyzed garlic peel samples contain increased amounts of macro and microelements essential for the proper functioning of the body. The results obtained from the evaluation of the mineral intake show that, under the conditions of the present experiment, a quantity of 50 g of garlic peel covers different percentages of the daily requirement of some mineral elements: 1.01% Na, 26.3% K, 304% Ca, 64.5% Mg, 35.9% Fe, 8.30% Mn, 11.41% Zn, 45.33% Cu – for men aged between 19-50 and 1.01% Na, 34.5% K, 304% Ca, 87.4% Mg, 15.9% Fe, 10.6% Mn, 15.7% Zn, 45.33% Cu – for women aged between 19-50 years. These values suggest that the investigated garlic peel could be taken into consideration for obtaining products with added mineral content, especially in the case of calcium, potassium, copper and iron. The superior utilization of garlic peels can provide an ecological method of reducing the waste resulting from peeling garlic bulbs.

The rapid expansion of the global population highlights the urgent need to enhance agricultural productivity as a fundamental pillar of food security. This imperative is especially critical in Africa, where many countries face persistent challenges associated with developing economies. Against this backdrop, this study conducts a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) of corn production in Huila Province, Angola. The research evaluates the corn production lifecycle—from cultivation to consumption—by identifying key environmental and social impacts and proposing strategies to improve the sustainability of the production system. The analysis covers both grain and seed production, providing a holistic view of the processes involved. The findings reveal that 99.5% of the pesticides used in agricultural activities have a moderate to high potential for environmental impact, with only 30% posing a low toxicity risk. Herbicides and insecticides were identified as the most hazardous, both in terms of environmental consequences and risks to human health, emphasizing the critical importance of stringent handling and application protocols. The study employed a qualitative methodology, utilizing a systematic literature review to gather relevant data and facilitate a critical analysis of the assessed processes. This research underscores the urgent need for Angola to adopt sustainable agricultural practices to mitigate environmental impacts, strengthen food security, and promote sustainable development in the region.

Hemichordata is one special kind of invertebrate animal that has many similarities with early vertebrate animals, especially the part of their dorsal column. Otherwise, hemichordata have a strong ability of regeneration. Regeneration is a sign which means the possibility of having totipotent adult stem cells. It is widely known that totipotent adult stem cells exist in many kinds of invertebrate animals, but they have not been found in the body of vertebrate animals in natural nowadays. Hemichordata may have possibility to be helpful due to its similarity of its dorsal column with early vertebrate animals. Dorsal column of vertebrate animals is one of the most complex structures in vertebrate animals’ body, and hemichordata showed the possibility to regenerate in nature. Because of this, many attentions are caught by it. However, one important precondition of researches about totipotent adult stem cells of hemichordata has not been solved: the strong regeneration ability of hemichordata has not been proved completely, and controversy is still subsistent. This article will try to find some ways to prove the existence of hemichordata’s totipotent adult stem cells in natural during its regenerative process.

Treatments for Syphilis: Penicillin G and Linezolid
Authors: Li Yuhang
Published: February 2025

Syphilis is a common sexual disease that is transported by body fluid and caused by a spirochete bacterium Treponema pallidum. With the development of antibiotics that are applied to treating syphilis, the number of patients suffering from syphilis has decreased rapidly since 1943, when penicillin antibiotics were started to be introduced as clinical pharmaceuticals to treat syphilis. However, in recent years, the number of patients of syphilis has increased again, 95% of the patients are infected by sexual intercourse. The World Health Organization (WHO) reported that in 2022, nearly 8 million adults who are between 15 and 49 years old acquired syphilis. Because most infections are asymptomatic and unrecognizable during the long incubation period, many people are unconscious of syphilis infection, and they do thus not go to hospitals to check whether they are infected. Penicillin G is a traditional and commonly used antibiotic to treat syphilis by inhibition of production of the complete peptidoglycan cell wall, T.pallidum cells thus burst and die due to osmotic pressure in a hypotonic environment. But penicillin G has been approved for nearly one hundred years to treat syphilis and other diseases bacteria, including T.pallidum has developed the antibiotic-resistance to penicillin G by producing β-lactamase to inactivate penicillin G by opening its β-lactam ring irreversibly. As a result, it is quite urgent and necessary to introduce a new antibiotic to confront syphilis. In 2021, scientific experiments revealed that linezolid, which has been used to treat other Gram-positive bacterial infections for a long time, has impressive effects on treatment for syphilis, indicating that this artificially developed antibiotic could be used clinically to control syphilis by blocking bacterial protein synthesis. In this paper, the symptoms of syphilis and the treatment for syphilis, including penicillin G and linezolid, will be briefly introduced.

Authors: Li Zhaoxi
Published: February 2025

Film is the final result of art. Cinematographic has the most significant direction which letting art enter people’s vision. Nowadays, it has a high-speed development about internet, science and technology. Then, the publicity of film also become diversified gradually so that people can see some film publicity for example movie trailer in different place. Therefore, the starting point of this research is visual dissemination and textual dissemination. Comparing visual spread and textual spread, the direction is discovering their dissemination effect and audiences’ different requirements. According to the data of collection, it can be found the development of visual dissemination which is the fastest development path and audiences have high enthusiasm of interaction so that film publicity can popularize fast. At the same time, it also can be found some situations which are homogeneity of video and spoiler style promotion. What’s more, it can be known that textual dissemination has existed for a long time and textual dissemination has mature means, multiple information. But sometimes audiences have a requirement which they want to get visual information. Film publicity will get targeted development through this research.
The effect of curcumin on breast cancer cell viability, apoptosis, and the NF-kB Signaling Pathway
Authors: Xie Yongheng
Published: February 2025

Breast cancer is the most prevalent form of cancer among women after skin cancer in the United States. In 2022, 2.3 million women were diagnosed with breast cancer, and 670000 people died. Curcumin, one of the natural compounds that originated from India, has been found to have potential anti-cancer properties by interacting with multiple signaling pathways. The purpose of this work is to examine the impacts of curcumin therapy on apoptosis, the proliferation of breast cancer cells, and therapeutic approaches that target the NF-kB system. The MCF-7 is a popular cell line for breast cancer research. We will employ the MTT assay and flow cytometry to evaluate the impacts of curcumin on cancer cell viability and apoptosis. Western blot will be used to determine whether curcumin decreases phosphor-IkB, which indicates the inhibition of gene expression. The findings will provide a better understanding of the effects of curcumin. Future research should focus on different cell signaling pathways that contribute to cell survival or cell death and various cell lines treated by curcumin. The purpose is to test that Curcumin can modulate the NF-κB signaling pathway, which in turn reduces the proliferation and promotes apoptosis in MCF-7 breast cancer cells.
To explore the viability of hematopoietic stem cells in high doses of ionizing radiation
Authors: Zhu Yinhua
Published: February 2025

Excessive exposure to radiation poses a significant threat to the integrity of our hematopoietic stem cells, which are essential for blood formation. The primary objective of our research is to safeguard the viability of these cells against the onslaught of high-dose radiation. Despite the critical nature of this issue, current literature lacks an in-depth investigation into the mechanisms by which hematopoietic stem cells respond to such intense radiation. To address this gap, we have embarked on a study to modulate the expression levels of the STAT3 protein within hematopoietic stem cells. By employing both gene knockout and overexpression techniques, we aim to elucidate the role of STAT3 in the survival of these cells post-radiation exposure. Our methodology will involve a meticulous enumeration of surviving cells to assess whether the modulation of STAT3 confers a protective advantage against radiation-induced damage.
A review on metformin and acarbose as anti-diabetic drugs with representative mechanisms
Authors: Chen Kaiwen
Published: February 2025

Type 2 diabetes is a disease that happens to many people globally. But surprisingly, it is attacking more and more people like a tsunami over centuries of development of technology, and it even shows younger trends. It is still an issue that many patients lack awareness of type 2 diabetes. This paper mainly reviews two of the first-line anti-diabetic drugs used in the treatment of type 2 diabetes in these few years and aims to improve the perception of type 2 diabetes among the public. To begin with, the paper shows some overview of diabetes, including the symptoms and the pathogenesis, in order to explain why it is a disease with such a great impact on humans. Impacts like mortality are also mentioned to demonstrate the severity of type 2 diabetes in the world. Next, metformin and acarbose are used as two examples of the mainstream mode of therapy for type 2 diabetes. In this part, the paper discusses the history, the chemical properties, the manufacture, the mechanisms and the possibility of repurposing of these two drugs. Also, the paper makes a comparison between metformin and acarbose, and proposes some summative ideas.
The Role of Big Data Analytics in Enhancing Customer Experience on E-Commerce Platforms
Authors: Shen Chongtian
Published: February 2025

The paper herein discusses the significance of Big Data Analytics (BDA) to improve the customer experience on an e-commerce site. It explores three key dimensions: personalization, operational effectiveness and accuracy predictions. Several theoretical factors question the effectiveness of this approach, yet research findings show that much of this contributes little to the increase in customer satisfaction, operation results, or retention. It was received from questionnaires, sales records and user feedbacks then preprocessed before undergoing analysis. Studies indicate that while Personalization and Predictive analytics are two important concepts; they do not greatly enhance customer satisfaction or retention. Savings attained from operative efficiencies do not contribute much to the improvement of the customers’ experience. In general, this study demonstrates that win ‘win’ outcomes cannot be driven solely by BDA but by refining it through overall strategies in communication such as strategic product quality, transparency and firm post sales support. A limited scope of analyzed big data, lack of real-time data tracking, and thus, could be considered the possible directions for BDA future development in more various contexts in the field of e-commerce.

Authors: Mao Shuyi
Published: February 2025

In China, Alzheimer’s disease (AD) affects nearly 10 million people, or about one percent of the population, and how to treat AD has always been the focus of attention. This investigation examined the efficacy of curcumin in the treatment of AD by enhancing the activity of antioxidant enzymes. The findings will elucidate the involvement of the proposed therapeutic mechanisms, specifically the reduction in reactive oxygen species (ROS) and the augmentation of superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity. Unveiling the potential mechanism of action could yield novel insights into the application of curcumin for AD treatment, thereby aiding researchers in the advancement and utilization of curcumin.
