Redescription of Cathaica pyrrhozona montana (Möllendorff, 1875) and description of C. zoui Wu, n. sp., from eastern China (Eupulmonata: Camaenidae)
Authors: Wu Min , Zhang Heng-Tao
Published: March 2024

Two species of Cathaica Möllendorff, 1884 are described from eastern China, C. pyrrhozona montana (Möllendorff, 1875) from Beijing and a new species, C. zoui Wu, n. sp., from Jinan, Shandong Province. The new species is conchologically similar to Cathaica fasciola (Draparnaud, 1801). The new species and C. p. montana, a subspecies of C. pyrrhozona (Philippi, 1845), the type species of Cathaica, share a similar structure of the dart-sac apparatus, in having one proximal accessory sac on the right side of dart sac, both mucous glands and the proximal accessory sac entering the dart-sac chamber. However, the distance between the dart-sac septum and the entrance of the mucous glands is distinctly shorter in the new species than that in C. p. montana. The genital anatomy of these two taxa suggests that the structure of the inside of the dart-sac apparatus deserves special attention of understanding systematics of the bradybaenine snails. In addition, the presence of dense cilia on the septum of the dart sac in the new species is newly reported for the subfamily Bradybaeninae.

A Comparative Analysis of Mirabegron versus Tolterodine for the Management of Irritative Symptoms Caused by Ureteral Stents
Authors: Nawaz Ahmad , Ahmad Mushtaq , Minallah Nasrum , Shah Sulaiman , Sohail Muzzamil , Ullah Amir
Published: March 2024

Background: The use of ureteral stents is a common practice in the management of urinary tract obstruction. However, the presence of a stent often leads to irritative lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS), significantly impacting the patient's quality of life. Traditional management with anticholinergics is limited by side effects, whereas beta 3 agonists like Mirabegron offer a potentially more tolerable alternative.
Objective: To compare the efficacy and tolerability of Mirabegron versus Tolterodine in the management of irritative symptoms associated with ureteral stents.
Methods: This prospective randomized controlled trial was conducted at the Department of Urology and Renal Transplant, Institute of Kidney Diseases, Hayatabad Medical Complex, Peshawar, from January 2019 to August 2020. A total of 104 patients who had undergone ureteral stent placement were randomized into two groups: Mirabegron (52 patients) and Tolterodine (52 patients). Inclusion criteria included individuals aged 18 years or older without prior LUTS history. The primary outcome measured was the change in the International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) Irritative score from baseline to post-treatment. Data analysis was conducted using SPSS version 25, with paired and unpaired t-tests for within and between-group comparisons, respectively.
Results: The mean age in the Mirabegron group was 29.44 ± 6.25 years, and 28.23 ± 5.97 years in the Tolterodine group. Pre-treatment IPSS Irritative scores were 9.19 ± 3.72 for Mirabegron and 9.88 ± 3.5 for Tolterodine. Post-treatment, scores reduced to 3.27 ± 1.34 in the Mirabegron group and 4.13 ± 1.47 in the Tolterodine group. The change in IPSS Irritative score was 5.92 ± 2.46 for Mirabegron and 5.75 ± 2.10 for Tolterodine, with no significant difference between groups (p > 0.05).
Conclusion: Mirabegron is as effective as Tolterodine in reducing irritative LUTS in patients with ureteral stents, with a comparable side effect profile. These findings support Mirabegron as a viable alternative for patients experiencing LUTS due to ureteral stents.

Authors: Shakir Zeshan Ali , Sana Maryum , Aziz Owais , Yasin Aqsa , Khaliq Hafiz Muhammad Haseeb , Saeed Zainab , Shahzad Nimra
Published: March 2024

Background: Type II Diabetes Mellitus (Type II DM) is intricately linked with an increased risk of cognitive impairment and dementia. The ADIPOQ gene encodes adiponectin, a hormone that plays a critical role in glucose regulation and fatty acid oxidation and may be implicated in the pathophysiology of both diabetes and dementia. Understanding the expression of ADIPOQ in diabetic patients with dementia could offer insights into the mechanisms at play and aid in the development of potential therapeutic targets.
Objective: This study aims to analyze the expression of the ADIPOQ gene in diabetic patients diagnosed with dementia and to correlate these findings with cognitive impairment as assessed by Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) scores.
Methods: We collected 5ml EDTA blood samples from 88 diabetic dementia patients and 12 healthy controls after obtaining written informed consent. The study adhered to the Declaration of Helsinki guidelines. Serum adiponectin levels were measured via Chemiluminescent immunoassay (CLIA), and genomic DNA was isolated for methylation-specific PCR and expression analysis. ADIPOQ gene expression was quantified using real-time PCR, and data were analyzed using SPSS version 25, employing descriptive and inferential statistics.
Results: The diabetic dementia patient group demonstrated significantly lower adiponectin levels (5.62 ± 1.08 µg/mL) and MMSE scores (10.68 ± 4.56) compared to healthy controls (adiponectin: 15.68 ± 4.64 µg/mL, MMSE: 25.9 ± 3.12). Real-time PCR results indicated a relative fold decrease of 4.9 in ADIPOQ gene expression in the dementia cohort.
Conclusion: The ADIPOQ gene expression is inversely associated with cognitive function in diabetic patients, highlighting its potential as a biomarker for early detection and targeted therapeutic interventions in dementia associated with diabetes.

Published: March 2024

In the current environmental pollution situation, using green fuel sources such as H2 gas to overcome the challenge of pollution and resource depletion is a useful solution. This research used the acid-base neutralization method with the recombination process to successfully fabricate CuFe2O4/TCPP nanocomposites. The morphological and structural properties of the materials were evaluated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) which show that the resulting material has a structure consisting of TCPP filaments with a diameter of about 20-30 nm and a length of µm, interspersed with CuFe2O4 particles with sizes in the range of 100 nm. The electrochemical properties of the as-prepared material film were investigated by Cyclic Voltammetry (CV) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) on a glassy carbon electrode with a 3-electrodes system. The results show the appearance of electrochemical characteristics of copper ferrite/porphyrin hybrid materials and especially the change of electrochemical characteristics when this nanocomposite was irradiated by an external light source. These results are expecting to apply this material in the photocatalytic process to produce green fuel H2 from water.

Authors: Nguyen Thi Hong Anh  , Nguyen Van Cuong
Published: March 2024

This study involved synthesizing a magnetic composite material of chitosan and carbon nanotubes using the freeze-drying process. The composite was created by mixing chitosan (CS), carbon nanotubes (CNT), and Fe3O4 in different ratios (w/w) (1.2:0.3:0.5, 1.2:0.5:0.3, 1.2:0.6:0.2 and 1.2:0.7:0.1). Results showed that the most porous structure was achieved with a ratio of 1.2:0.5:0.3 for CS:CNT:Fe3O4 (w/w). Various analytical methods such as FT-IR, SEM, XRD, and TGA were employed to determine the characteristics of the composite. The composite material was tested for its ability to adsorb Pb2+ heavy metal ions and reactive blue 198 (RB198) at concentrations ranging from 25 to 100 ppm. The study also investigated the effects of adsorbent amount, pH, and equilibrium time on the adsorption performance of the material.

Published: March 2024

This paper presents the results of research on the adsorption capacity of La3+ ions from aqueous solution of nanotube-type halloysite. The influence of operational conditions such as contact time, initial concentration of La3+, initial pH of solution, halloysite mass and temperature on the adsorption of La3+ had also been examined. The results show that the optimal efficiency and adsorption capacity of La3+ reached 90.19% and 3.76 mg/g in the suitable conditions: haloysite mass 0.6 g/50 mL solution, initial La3+ ion concentration 50 mg/L, pH 5.8, contact time 60 minutes at room temperature (25oC). The adsorption isotherm was studied based on both Langmuir and Freundlich models. The adsorption kinetics were studied by both pseudo-first-order and pseudo-second-order kinetic models. These results open up prospects for the application of haloysite clay minerals to remove and recover La in polluted water.

Authors: Nguyen Thi To Loan  , Ha Thi Phuong Thanh  , Nguyen Thi Thuy Hang  , Nguyen Quang Hai  , Vu Van Nhuong  , Bui Duc Nguyen
Published: March 2024

In this work, we report synthesis of bentonite (BT) supported softmagnetic ZnFe2O4 nanoparticles to obtain ZnFe2O4/BT. The composition, surface morphology and optical properties of the sample  were characterized by XRD, EDX, FTIR, SEM and DRS analysis. The results of SEM show that the ZnFe2O4 nanoparticles spread on the thin layer of bentonite due to intercalation with bentonite. The band gaps of Bentonite, ZnFe2O4 and ZnFe2O4/BT are 2.18; 1.95 and 1.82 eV respectively. The photocatalytic activity of the samples is evaluated by the degradation of methylene blue (MB)  in the presence of H2O2 under visible light radiation. The results indicated that the ZnFe2O4/BT samples exhibited higher removal efficiencies than the pure ZnFe2O4 ferrites. The enhanced photocatalytic activity of the ZnFe2O4/BT is explained due to visible light adsorption ability, and larger interfacial area, as well as the efficient separation mechanism of photoinduced electron and holes.

Authors: Nguyen Le My Linh  , Dang Thi Thanh Nhan
Published: March 2024

In this paper, Ag/CuO nanomaterials were prepared via hydrothermal method combined with chemical reduction and used as catalysts in the reduction of 4-nitrophenol. Kinetic study of 4-nitrophenol (4-NP) reduction into 4-aminophenol (4-AP) by sodium borohydride revealed a first order reaction. The reaction rate constant k increased with amount of silver crystals introduced into CuO nanosheets, with Ag/CuO catalyst concentrations and with temperature. The thermodynamic activation parameters such as activation energy (Ea), enthalpy of activation (∆H#), entropy (∆S#) and Gibbs energy (∆G#) of activation were determined. The value of Ea, ∆H#, ∆S# and ∆G# were 72,33 kJ/mol, –69,86 kJ/mol, –24,28 J/K.mol and –62,50 kJ/mol (303K), respectivement. Ethanol and isopropanol were able to inhibit the 4-NP reduction with NaBH4 in the presence of Ag/CuO catalyst.
"En ole kokenut antisemitismiä, mutta..."
Authors: Illman Ruth , Vuola Elina
Published: March 2024

Tarkastelemme kahden eri etnografisen aineiston pohjalta suomenjuutalaisten naisten kokemuksia antisemitismistä nyky-Suomessa. Aineistomme koostuu Ruth Illmanin Minhag Finland -hankkeessa tehdyistä suomenjuutalaisten haastatteluista (2019–2020) ja Elina Vuolan Ruumiillinen uskonto -hankkeessa tehdyistä haastatteluista (2015–2016). Vuola haastatteli vain naisia, Illmanin aineistossa on sekä naisia että miehiä. Keskitymme artikkelissamme naisiin. Myös antisemitismin kokemukset ovat joiltakin osin sukupuolittuneita. Pääasiallisena teoreettisena tulokulmana käytämme Helen Feinin (1987) kulttuurihistoriallista määrittelyä, jonka mukaan antisemitismillä on rakenteellinen, diskursiivinen ja yksilöllinen ulottuvuus. Fein kuvailee antisemitismiä kolmiona, jonka pohja on yhteiskunnan rakenteisiin upotettu juutalaisvastaisuus, joka ilmenee tietämättömyytenä, ymmärtämättömyytenä tai suorana syrjintänä. Tämän päälle rakentuu diskursiivinen ulottuvuus, joka tuo esille kulttuurisidonnaiset tavat puhua juutalaisuudesta, ja näyttäytyy stereotypioina ja ennakkoluuloina yleisessä keskustelussa. Kolmion huipulla ovat yksilön kokemukset suorasta tai välillisestä antisemitismistä omassa arjessaan. Tarkastelemme, miten Feinin malli näkyy (tai ei näy) aineistoissamme ja sitä, miten sen avulla voidaan jäsentää haastateltavien kokemuskertomuksia. Sukupuoliteoreettinen lähestymistapa puolestaan auttaa ymmärtämään koetun antisemitismin sukupuolittuneisuutta. Feinin malli osoittautui käyttökelpoiseksi, mutta jäykäksi tavaksi jäsentää arkisiin kokemuksiin keskittyvää etnografista aineistoa. Lisäksi havaitsimme, että paikkasidonnainen ja kokemuksiin keskittyvä analyysimme tuo uutta tietoa antisemitismin ilmenemismuodoista ja siinä tapahtuneissa muutoksissa Suomessa. Suomenjuutalaisten naisten kokemuksissa antisemitismi sekä uhan ja pelon tunne ovat lisääntyneet.

COMPARING VALUE - BASED AND TRADITIONAL MEASURING TOOLS. EVIDENCE FROM PAKISTAN
Authors: Ghalib Afaq
Published: March 2024

This paper's primary goal is to evaluate the assertion that value-based measures are preferable to traditional accounting based financial-performance measures, such as profit after tax (PAT), earnings per share (EPS), return on assets (ROA), return on equity (ROE), and return on investment (ROI), in the non-financial sector of Pakistan, while also providing empirical evidence to support the claim. Additionally, it evaluates and tests the informational value of different performance measures and how they relate to stock return.
The sample of 97 non-financial Pakistani companies included in this study was obtained from the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) between 2016 and 2021. The information richness of value-based measurements and conventional performance measures in explaining shareholders' returns is investigated using a variety of regression models.
 Relative information content tests shows that traditional accounting-based measures such as EPS, ROE and ROA performed better than value based measures in explaining the returns of Pakistan non-financial companies. Incremental information content of value based measures doesn’t have any contribution to information content above traditional performance measures. The claim of superiority of value based measures over accounting-based measures in association with shareholder returns is proved invalid in Pakistan non-financial companies.
  According to the study's findings, value-based financial performance indicators are not any better at explaining stock returns of Pakistani non-financial enterprises than traditional accounting-based financial performance measures. Panel data are tested using the Hausman's test for fixed and random effects, the variance inflation factor (VIF) test for multicollinearity, and the Durbin-Watson test for autocorrelation in order to ensure substantial results.
