University engagement as local economic development
Authors: Fongwa Samuel , Ngandu Stewart , Mncwango Bongiwe
Published: September 2024

Universities engage with their communities through a plethora of approaches. One largely neglected form of engagement is the contribution of the university to local economic development. Empirical studies on the economic impact of universities in Africa have been significantly lower compared to the global North. However, this is not because universities in Africa are not contributing to the economic development of their immediate and extended regions. This paper aims to contribute to closing that gap through an empirical study of a newly established South African university within a secondary city characterized by high unemployment, a declining economic sector, but with a growing staff and student body and high university expenditures. The analysis uses a Keynesian-type multiplier impact model, to demonstrate that the university contributes a minimum of R2 billion to the local municipality, which translates to about 19% of the district GDP. This contribution is made through a combination of direct and indirect activities of the university and its constituencies – staff, students, visitors, and local businesses. The paper concludes that intentional engagement policies and practices from the universities coupled with active commitments from local or provincial government and other external stakeholders could ensure the university serves a stronger anchoring and developmental role within the city and region.
Superiority of artificial neural networks over conventional hydrological models in simulating urban catchment runoff
Authors: Balacumaresan Harshanth , Imteaz Monzur Alam , Hossain Iqbal , Aziz Md Abdul , Choudhury Tanveer
Published: September 2024

The synergistic impacts of climate change and urbanisation have amplified the recurrence and austerity of intense rainfall events, exacerbating persistent flooding risk in urban environments. The intricate topography and inherent non-linearity of urban hydrological processes limit the predictive accuracy of conventional models, leading to significant discrepancies in flow estimation. Recent advancements in artificial neural network (ANNs) have demonstrated remarkable progress in mitigating most limitations, specifically in simulating complex, non-linear relationships, without an intricate comprehension of the underlying physical processes. This paper proposes a deep learning ANN-based flow estimation model for enhanced precision simulation of streamflow in urban catchments, with the research's distinctive contribution involving rigorous comparative evaluation of the developed model against the established Australian hydrological model, RORB. Gardiners Creek catchment, an urban catchment situated in East Melbourne was designated as the study area, with the model being calibrated upon historical storm incidences. The findings reveal that the ANN model substantially outperforms RORB, as evidenced by superior correlation, prediction efficiency, and lower generalisation error. This underscores the ANN's adeptness in accurately replicating non-linear-catchment responses to storm events, marking a substantial advancement over conventional modelling practices and indicating its transformative potential for enhancing flood prediction precision and revolutionising current estimation practices.

Authors: Sivamaruthi Bhagavathi Sundaram , Kesika Periyanaina , Sisubalan Natarajan , Chaiyasut Chaiyavat
Published: September 2024

Essential oils (EOs) are a volatile mixture of bioactive compounds extracted from aromatic
plants. The composition of EOs varies, which majorly depends on the extraction methods and
plant parts. Aromatherapy using EOs has been reported for its several beneficial effects in humans.
Aromatherapy is considered a complementary and/ or adjuvant therapeutic approach for treating
several illnesses, especially to improve mental health and well-being. The incidence of sleep disorders,
specifically insomnia, is nowadays increased, possibly due to urbanization and lifestyle. The
studies showed that EOs-based treatments using lavender EO, bergamot EO, cinnamon EO, and
rosemary EO (alone or in combinations) could improve sleep quality, duration, and deprivation in
healthy subjects and patients, those who suffer from sleep-related issues. The current manuscript
details the outcomes of EO-based treatments on the sleep quality of humans and the possible mechanisms
associated with the health-promoting properties of EOs. Also, the toxicity and adverse effects
of EOs have been discussed. The study indicated that EOs are potent adjuvant therapeutic candidates
to manage mood-associated complications in humans. Moreover, the aromatherapeutic field
requires detailed studies on toxicity and dose determination, which could provide safe and effective
therapeutic results.

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a metabolic disorder and is responsible for the death of more
than 4.2 million people in 2019. Synthetic drugs for DM like metformin have been reported to induce
numerous complications and side effects. Reports suggested that essential plant oil has been
used as an herbal remedy to lower blood glucose levels. Essential oils (EOs) are complex combinations
of small molecules obtained from plants via the process of steam distillation and several solvents.
EOs have already shown great efficacy as antimicrobials, anti-inflammatory, hepatoprotective,
and anti-hypertensive. This review aims to summarize some potential EOs that have been reported
to have anti-diabetic activity both in preclinical and clinical aspects while summarizing the
probable mechanism of action. The authors went through a vast number of articles from various
scientific databases like Google Scholar, PubMed, and Web of Science. It was found that EO from
a total of 20 plants has been pre-clinically investigated to have anti-diabetic potential. Besides
this, clinical studies have reported the antidiabetic efficacy of EOs from Nigella sativa and Cuminum
cyminum at different concentrations. Bioactive phytoconstituents like carvacrol, thymol, α-
pinene, via . obtained from EOs ameliorate DM by inhibiting α-GLUC, α-amylase, lipase enzymes
and increasing GLUT-4 expression, AKT phosphorylation, via . Although fewer in number,
EOs from plant sources have demonstrated significant efficacy in DM. Proper elucidation of
the anti-diabetic efficacy of the EOs may open up new avenues for drug discovery and development
subjected to clinical studies.
Recently Emerging Liquid Biopsy-based Non-invasive Methylation Biomarkers for Gastric Cancer Diagnosis, Prognosis and Therapy Response Rrediction
Authors: Alom Sarowar , Anal BS Vaanrhaangh , Ghosh Srimoyee
Published: September 2024

Cancer, a burden upon the global population, has consistently maintained its prevalence
throughout history. Gastric cancer compounds this burden and ranks as the fifth leading cause of
cancer-related deaths worldwide. The clinical significance of early cancer diagnosis cannot be
overstated. DNA methylation biomarkers, a rapidly growing field of liquid biopsy-based diagnostics,
provide a minimal to non-invasive way to detect cancer at an early stage. In addition to diagnosis
and prognosis, liquid biopsy is important in longitudinal monitoring and therapeutic response
prediction, where traditional biopsy faces setbacks. Despite many challenges, DNA methylation
being a stable and detectable molecular change attracts the scientific community to develop
novel biomarkers and analytical methods to incorporate them into clinical practice. In this review,
we have discussed non-invasive, DNA methylation-based gastric cancer biomarkers that have
emerged recently. We have also addressed the prognosis and therapeutic response prediction associated
with these biomarkers.

Published: September 2024

In this review, we have discussed the invasive and non-invasive treatment options for
Parkinson’s Disease (PD) following their safety, specificity, and reliability. Initially, this study has
highlighted the invasive treatment options and the side effects they possess. A deep understanding
of L-Dopa treatment, as oral or infusion, and the use of dopamine agonists has indicated that there is
a need to acquire an alternative treatment for PD. The combined therapy with L-Dopa has been
proven to affect PD, but with some limitations, such as mild to chronic side effects, with particular
requirements of age and health of the patient and a large amount of expenditure. In the discussion of
noninvasive methods to treat PD, we have found that this approach is comparatively slow and requires
repetitive sessions, but is safe, effective, and reliable at any stage of PD. Electroconvulsive
therapy has revealed its effectiveness in various neurological diseases, including PD. Transcranial
current stimulation (direct or alternative) has already been shown to have an alleviative response to
PD symptoms. Transcranial magnetic stimulations and other strategies of using the magnetic field
for potential treatment options for PD need to be explored further imminently.
Effect of D-mannitol and Gibberellic Acid on Physiological Parameters, Early Seedling Growth Characteristics, and Some of the Most Important
Chemical Components of Barberry (Berberis vulgaris L.)
Authors: Khoshkharam Mehdi , Shahrajabian Mohamad Hesam , Sun Wenli
Published: September 2024

Background:

One of the important medicinal plants and agricultural products in Asia,
particularly in Iran, is barberry, and both salinity and drought can cause osmotic or ionic imbalance
in plant cells. In order to study the impacts of D-Mannitol and gibberellic acid on seed germination,
physiological parameters, early seedling growth characteristics, and some of the most important
chemical ingredients of barberry, one experiment is designed.

Methods:

The experimental design was Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with three replicates,
and drought stress was done by D-mannitol at various stress levels, namely, 0 MPa, 40 MPa,
and 80 MPa, and the reaction of studied cultivar was assessed on the basis of experimental characteristics
associated to germination and seedling growth, and Gibberellic acid treatments were 0 mgL-1,
300 mgL-1, 600 mgL-1, and 900 mgL-1.

Results:

The effects of D-mannitol were significant in germination percentage, germination rate,
seedling vigor index, chlorophyll a, total chlorophyll, leaf dry weight and total sugar. Experimental
treatments such as germination percentage, germination rate, and total chlorophyll were also influenced
by the application of gibberellic acid. The interaction between D-mannitol and gibberellic acid
had significant effect on peroxidase activity. The highest germination percentage, germination rate,
seedling vigor index, catalase activity, peroxide activity, and Chlorophyll a were obtained for 0 MPa
application of D-Mannitol, followed by usage of 40 MPa, and 80 Mpa, respectively. The maximum
total chlorophyll, relative water content, and leaf dry weight were also related to control treatment (0
MPa D-Mannitol), while the higher values of proline content, carotenoids and total sugar were obtained
for 80 MPa application of D-Mannitol. The maximum values of germination rate, germination
percentage, seedling vigor index, peroxidase activity, and chlorophyll a were related to control
treatment (0 mgL-1 gibberellic acid), and the highest CAT activity was related to the application of
300 mgL-1 gibberellic acid. The highest total chlorophyll content and relative water content were
related to 0 mgL-1 gibberellic acid, while the maximum praline content and leaf dry weight were
obtained for the application of 600 mgL-1 and 0 mgL-1 gibberellic acid. There was not any significant
difference in carotenoids between gibberellic acid treatments, while the application of 900 mgL-1
gibberellic acid obtained the highest value of total sugar of barberry.

Conclusion:

Conclusively, on the basis of the results, the application of 80 MPa D-Mannitol and 600
mgL-1 could be recommended as they can increase the absorption of nutrients and water.

ANALISIS PENGARUH INSTRUMEN PEMBAYARAN NON-TUNAI (APMK DAN UANG ELEKTRONIK) TERHADAP MONEY MULTIPLIER
Authors: Triajie Reyne Amelia , Munawar Ismail
Published: September 2024

The increasing use of non-cash payment instruments in Indonesia, such as Card Payment Instrument (APMK) and electronic money, shows public awareness and confidence in switching from cash. This has an impact on the money multiplier. The money multiplier plays an important role in the formation of money supply and monetary control. The stability of the money multiplier can provide greater opportunities for Bank Indonesia to implement policies effectively in influencing the supply of money in circulation so the ultimate goal of monetary aggregates can be achieved and a conducive atmosphere for the economy is created. This research aims to determine the influence of ATM+Debit card, credit card and electronic money variables on the money multiplier in Indonesia. In connection with this, the author uses the Error Correction Model (ECM) as an analysis method in this research. The research results show that the Card Payment Instrument (APMK) variable through the nominal transactions of ATM+Debit card and credit card and the nominal transactions of electronic money have significant positive effect on the value of the money multiplier in Indonesia in both the short and long term. It means when the nominal variable for ATM+Debit card, credit card, and electronic money transactions increases, the value of the money multiplier will also increase and vice versa.

Authors: Ferenc Thomas , Popić Jelena
Published: September 2024

Aim: To evaluate systematically the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) features of tubo-ovarian abscess (TOA), the efficacy of diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) in the assessment of TOA, and the differentiation of TOA from ovarian masses. Material and methods: PubMed/MEDLINE, Web of Science, and ResearchGate were searched with keywords: Tubo-ovarian abscess and Diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging. No restrictions regarding the language or publication year were applied. Inclusion criteria regarded research papers evaluating the role of MRI and DWI in the assessment of TOA, and the differentiation of TOA from ovarian tumours. Studies appearing to meet inclusion criteria were reviewed in full. Results: A total of 14 studies were included. TOA is usually presented as a multilocular, cystic, pelvic mass with a heterogeneously high signal on T2-weighted (T2W) and low signal on T1-weighted (T1W) images with the “penumbra sign” on T1W images. Following contrast administration, septal and thick wall rim enhancement could be visualized. TOA usually demonstrated hyperintensity on DWI and hypointensity on ADC maps with lower ADC values of cystic, and higher ADC values of solid components compared to ovarian malignancy. TOA was smaller in size, and invasion into adjacent organs and tubal dilatation were more frequent in TOA than in ovarian neoplasms. In comparison to other methods, DWI possessed the highest sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value, and accuracy in differentiating TOA from adnexal tumours. Conclusions: The addition of DWI with ADC values improves the detection, characterization, and overall diagnostic accuracy of TOA and its distinction from ovarian malignancy. The combination of DWI with MRI in the assessment of TOA is obligatory.

Published: September 2024

Decentralized clinical trials (DCTs) are becoming increasingly popular. Digital clinical trial platforms are software environments where users complete designated clinical trial tasks, providing investigators and trial participants with efficient tools to support trial activities and streamline trial processes. In particular, digital platforms with a modular architecture lend themselves to DCTs, where individual trial activities can correspond to specific platform modules. While design features can allow users to customize their platform experience, the real strengths of digital platforms for DCTs are enabling centralized data capture and remote monitoring of trial participants and in using digital technologies to streamline workflows and improve trial management. When selecting a platform for use in a DCT, sponsors and investigators must consider the specific trial requirements. All digital platforms are limited in their functionality and technical capabilities. Integrating additional functional modules into a central platform may solve these challenges, but few commercial platforms are open to integrating third-party components. The lack of common data standardization protocols for clinical trials will likely limit the development of one-size-fits-all digital platforms for DCTs. This viewpoint summarizes the current role of digital platforms in supporting decentralized trial activities, including a discussion of the potential benefits and challenges of digital platforms for investigators and participants. We will highlight the role of the digital platform in the development of DCTs and emphasize where existing technology is functionally limiting. Finally, we will discuss the concept of the ideal fully integrated and unified DCT and the obstacles developers must address before it can be realized.

Published: September 2024

Background

Artificial intelligence (AI) models are being increasingly studied for the detection of variations and pathologies in different imaging modalities. Nasal septal deviation (NSD) is an important anatomical structure with clinical implications. However, AI-based radiographic detection of NSD has not yet been studied.

Objective

This research aimed to develop and evaluate a real-time model that can detect probable NSD using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) images.

Methods

Coronal section images were obtained from 204 full-volume CBCT scans. The scans were classified as normal and deviated by 2 maxillofacial radiologists. The images were then used to train and test the AI model. Mask region-based convolutional neural networks (Mask R-CNNs) comprising 3 different backbones—ResNet50, ResNet101, and MobileNet—were used to detect deviated nasal septum in 204 CBCT images. To further improve the detection, an image preprocessing technique (contrast enhancement [CEH]) was added.

Results

The best-performing model—CEH-ResNet101—achieved a mean average precision of 0.911, with an area under the curve of 0.921.

Conclusions

The performance of the model shows that the model is capable of detecting nasal septal deviation. Future research in this field should focus on additional preprocessing of images and detection of NSD based on multiple planes using 3D images.

Transwomen community in the Special Region of Yogyakarta (Yogyakarta) faces distress in obtaining their social, cultural, and economic rights as part of the society. The stigma attached to them as non-conforming in the midst of Indonesian people with a majority of binary genders causes discrimination. It becomes difficult for them to access healthcare services, deal with civil registration matters, and getting proper job opportunities that often leads many of them to end up as sex workers. Although those rights should be guaranteed by the state. This research aims to analyze the implementation of equality principles based on Nussbaum’s capabilities approach theory by examining the fulfillment of the transwomen sex workers’ social, cultural, and economic rights in Yogyakarta. In-depth interview method is used for collecting empirical data. While data analysis is done through a case study approach. It is concluded that the social, cultural, and economic rights of transwomen sex workers in Yogyakarta have not been fulfilled thoroughly since only the capabilities of life, bodily health, senses, imagination, and thought, emotions, practical reason, affiliation, and other species are fulfilled. However, control over one’s environment in political context, bodily integrity, and play capabilities were not.

Anestesi untuk pasien anak dengan penyakit jantung bawaan asianotik memerlukan pendekatan khusus karena interaksi anatomi dan fisiologi jantung yang kompleks serta risiko ketidakstabilan hemodinamik perioperatif. Seorang anak berusia dua bulan dengan berat badan lima kilogram menderita kelainan jantung bawaan dan kelainan kelopak mata kiri sejak lahir. Pemeriksaan fisik menunjukkan koloboma palpebra superior dengan simblepharon dan keratitis paparan. Pasien dijadwalkan untuk pembedahan dengan penilaian pra operasi termasuk anemia dan trombositosis. Penatalaksanaan anestesi meliputi puasa, penghitungan cairan, dan premedikasi dengan atropin sulfat 0,1 mg dan analgesik fentanil intravena 15 mcg (2-3 mcg/kgBB). Intubasi dilanjutkan dengan atracurium, dan pemeliharaan termasuk sevoflurane dan fentanyl. Pemantauan dilakukan dengan memastikan tingkat EtCO2 dan saturasi oksigen yang tepat. Operasi berlangsung selama satu jam, diikuti dengan analgesia pasca operasi. Pasien dipantau selama tiga hari pasca operasi dan dipulangkan pada hari keempat. Penelitian sebelumnya menunjukkan anak dengan penyakit jantung bawaan yang menjalani operasi nonkardiak menghadapi peningkatan risiko perioperatif, dipengaruhi oleh faktor-faktor seperti kondisi umum dan status penyakit, sehingga hasil klinis selama operasi sangat dipengaruhi oleh manajemen anestesi yang menyesuaikan dengan faktor-faktor tersebut. Sebagai kesimpulan, pasien anak dengan penyakit jantung bawaan dapat dengan aman menjalani anestesi umum untuk operasi nonkardiak dengan memerlukan persiapan pra operasi yang komprehensif dan pemantauan intraoperatif yang cermat.

Truth and (Mis)Information in the High-Tech Empires: Case Study: Cosmopolis: a novel, by Don DeLillo
Authors: Boussamma Aicha
Published: September 2024

Our contemporary time is marked by an endless flow of data that is exchanged between nations, companies, and individuals at a nanosecond timescale. All this data flow, which Katherine Hales calls “information overload”, is facilitated by the spread of computer software and digital devices that have colonized every corner on the globe. Today no secret is hidden; information is available and access to it is getting liberated from the confines of the enclosed files. Entrepreneurs, decision-makers, politicians, researchers and even common people, to mention just a few categories, each has built some kind of a digital fortress that secures its data and transmits only the information that suits its interests to the (digital) world. Yet, high-tech empires are no more than a double-edged weapon that (mis)informs not only consumers and adversaries but also the high-tech owners themselves. While high-technologies have been viewed as a sign of extreme knowledge, power and wealth, they have in fact deprived humans of their natural ‘humanity’ one way or another. More than that, instead of providing absolute knowledge as they are supposed to do, they hide the dark truth and what they really provide is no more than a mere illusion. Taking the example of Don DeLillo’s Cosmopolis: a novel, this novel envisages the influence of high-technologies on the contemporary Man and exposes the double facets of the computer and wireless networks. Through the protagonist Eric Packer, DeLillo portrays the digital world from different perspectives and lays bare the inconveniences of high-technologies as they eventually turn out to hide the ‘truth’ instead of revealing it to their owner. Indeed, the protagonist’s blind trust in his high-tech empire was caused by misinformation rather than by objective recognition of the concrete world that surrounds him. In Cosmopolis: a novel the author warns his readers that it is wiser to keep a certain amount of doubt and criticism while dealing with Artificial Intelligence and Virtual Reality.
Research on Recontextualization Strategies in Translation of Quotations from Chinese Classics in The Governance of China from the Perspective of Skopos Theory
Authors: Qiong Wu
Published: September 2024

From the perspective of Skopos Theory, this study compares the English translation of quotations in The Governance of China with Xu Yuanchong’s translation, and analyzes the recontextualization strategy adopted in the English translation of allusions in The Governance of China to adapt to the change of context. It has been found that when translating allusions in political texts, it is necessary to consider not only the historical context in which the allusions are produced, but also the contemporary context in which they are quoted. Under the fidelity rule, recontextualization should be carried out according to the speaker’s purpose, and various recontextualization strategies such as domestication, foreignization, and explicitation should be appropriately adopted in order to achieve the translation purpose and be widely accepted by readers.
