Authors: Shrivastav Anjli , Maurya Sonu , Dixit Manish , Kumari Sarita , Gambhir Sanjay
Published: July 2024

Objectives:

Zirconium-89 (
89Zr, t1/2=3.27d) is an important + emitting radionuclide
used in Positron Emission Tomography (PET) immuno studies due to its unique characteristics
and increased demand due to simple and cost-effective production capacity. Production of 89Zr
is achieved primarily through solid natural yttrium targets via different target preparation methodologies, such as electrodeposition, pressed foils, and spark plasma sintering. In this study, we
have investigated the pressed solid target methodology.

Methods:

The Yttrium Oxide (Y2O3) powder was pressed to pellet form and stacked over a different back support plate, such as platinum (Pt), niobium (Nb), and tantalum (Ta). The target
was irradiated with approximately 12 MeV proton beam for 10-60 minutes at 20µA current. The
irradiated target was purified through a solid phase extraction method via hydroxamate-based
resin by manual or automatic approach. The purified 89Zr was analyzed using gamma scintigraphy, and specific activity was calculated through Deferoxamine (DFO) chelation.

Results:

89Zr radionuclide via pressed target was effectively produced with a production yield of
20-30 MBq/µA.h, and the purification was achieved in 35 minutes with (87.46)% average recovery and >98% purity while using automated purification, but manual purification took 2
hours with (91 ± 2)% recovery and >98% purity. The production yield was comparable to the
reported pressed target approach. Deferoxamine (DFO) chelation with 89Zr-oxalate was performed with purity >98% and specific activity of 25-30 µCi/mmol

Conclusion:

In this study, we explored the production of 89Zr by pressed targets and purification via manual or automated methods with good radionuclide purity. The chelation with DFO
or its analog was performed with good labeling efficiency and stabilit

Adolescent Substance Use, and Related Emergency Room Visits, and Continuum of Care
Authors: Adegbite Oluwadunni , Enegela Andrew , Obiozor Crystal , Onigu-Otite Edore
Published: July 2024

Adolescence is a unique developmental period marked by
biophysiological changes and psychosocial exploration. Risk-taking behaviors,
including experimentation with psychoactive substances, are common during this
period. Emergency room (ER) visits for adverse events related to adolescent
substance use have increased over the last two decades. Without a continuum of care
from the ER, significant opportunities to intervene are missed. The narrative review
article aims to provide an overview of substance use during Adolescence in the
United States, highlight related ER visits, and discuss extending care beyond the ER.
A literature review was conducted to reveal historical and recent studies related to
adolescent substance use trends, morbidity, and mortality patterns, as well as the
much-needed continuum of care after the ER. Our approach prioritized capturing
diverse perspectives and significant studies relevant to these themes, aiming for a
thorough discussion without strict adherence to systematic review methodologies.
The selection of studies involved a comprehensive search across multiple databases,
including PubMed, Google Scholar, and relevant academic journals. Search terms
were tailored to capture studies addressing adolescent substance abuse, ER visitation,
and aftercare. Studies were screened based on title, abstract, and full-text review,
with a focus on relevance and significance to the review's objectives. The strategy for
this narrative review facilitated a detailed exploration of the selected themes while
also allowing for flexibility in study selection and interpretation. National studies
indicate an overall decline in the proportions of adolescents using substances
compared to pre-COVID-19 levels. However, morbidity and mortality patterns have
not mirrored this decline. Various factors, including gender, location, and specific
mental health disorders, are associated with adolescent substance use presentations.
Acute care providers in emergency settings, employing protocols like SBIRT, can
significantly impact outcomes by facilitating appropriate screening and referral to
aftercare treatment programs. Identification of barriers to care, such as stigma and
social determinants of health, is important in formulating tailored interventions.
While acute care provides an opportunity to intervene and initiate treatment, a
continuum of care is essential to reduce morbidity and mortality patterns among
adolescents with substance use.
Current Advancements on Oral Protein and Peptide Drug Delivery Approaches to Bioavailability: Extensive Review on Patents
Authors: Parida Prasanna , Prusty Amiya Kumar , Patro Saroj Kumar , Jena Bikash Ranjan
Published: July 2024

:

Protein and peptide-based drugs have greater therapeutic efficacy and potential application
and lower toxicity compared to chemical entities in long-term use within optimum concentration
as they are easily biodegradable due to biological origin. While oral administration is preferable,
most of these substances are currently administered intravenously or subcutaneously. This is
primarily due to the breakdown and poor absorption in the GI tract. Hence, ongoing research is focused
on investigating absorption enhancers, enzyme inhibitors, carrier systems, and stability enhancers
as potential strategies to facilitate the oral administration of proteins and peptides. Investigations
have been directed towards advancing novel technologies to address gastrointestinal (GI)
barriers associated with protein and peptide medications. The current review intensifies formulation
and stability approaches for oral protein & peptide drug delivery systems with all significant parameters
intended for patient safety. Notably, certain innovative technologies have been patented
and are currently undergoing clinical trials or have already been introduced into the market. All the
approaches stated for the administration of protein and peptide drugs are critically discussed, having
their current status, future directions, and recent patents published in the last decades.
Ghrelin, Neuroinflammation, Oxidative Stress, and Mood Disorders: What Are the Connections?
Authors: Mingardi Jessica , Meanti Ramona , Paoli Caterina , Cifani Carlo , Torsello Antonio , Popoli Maurizio , Musazzi Laura
Published: July 2024

Ghrelin is a gut peptide hormone associated with feeding behavior and energy homeostasis.
Acylated ghrelin binds to the growth hormone secretagogue receptor 1a subtype (GHS-R1a) in the
hippocampus, leading to GH release from the anterior pituitary. However, in recent years, ghrelin and
its receptor have also been implicated in other processes, including the regulation of cardiomyocyte
function, muscle trophism, and bone metabolism. Moreover, GHS-R1a is distributed throughout the
brain and is expressed in brain areas that regulate the stress response and emotional behavior. Consistently,
a growing body of evidence supports the role of ghrelin in regulating stress response and mood.
Stress has consistently been shown to increase ghrelin levels, and despite some inconsistencies, both
human and rodent studies suggested antidepressant effects of ghrelin. Nevertheless, the precise mechanism
by which ghrelin influences stress response and mood remains largely unknown. Intriguingly,
ghrelin and GHS-R1a were consistently reported to exert anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and neurotrophic
effects both in vivo and in vitro, although this has never been directly assessed in relation to
psychopathology. In the present review we will discuss available literature linking ghrelin with the
stress response and depressive-like behavior in animal models as well as evidence describing the interplay
between ghrelin and neuroinflammation/oxidative stress. Although further studies are required
to understand the mechanisms involved in the action of ghrelin on mood, we hypothesize that the antiinflammatory
and anti-oxidative properties of ghrelin may give a key contribution.

Published: July 2024

A brushless DC (BLDC) motor-based three-wheeled vehicle, known as
three-wheeled battery-operated vehicles (TWBOVs), is a suitable alternate to public
transportation. The TWBoVs are not only providing efficient short-distance
transportation but also are a source of employment generation since 2008 in rural India.
The TWBoVs operate mainly through the flooded lead-acid battery. To get the full
benefit of lower operating costs, the life, and efficiency of the battery are important
aspects. In such a scenario, battery monitoring and management for battery-operated
vehicles are a prime aspect. Proper battery management and monitoring enhance the
durability of the lead-acid battery in TWBoVs. In this chapter, the monitoring and
management of Lead-acid batteries using the Internet of Things (IoT) is capitalized.
Depending on the survey in rural Bengal, it is observed that the battery life cycle
depreciation process needs to be decreased by properly monitoring the condition of
drive-train of TWBoVs and the lead-acid battery ampere-hour discharge in the random
drive cycle. A newly applicable design regarding the state of charge (SOC) estimation
of the batteries along with terminal voltage and current measurement under different
depths of discharge phase has been implemented through IoT-based real-time
monitoring system. This developed system relates the distance traveled (in kilometers)
by the TWBoVs with the condition of the battery concerning its SOC on an online
basis via a Wireless battery management system (WBMS). Experimental analysis
through hardware setup and simulation proves the feasibility of the approach in terms
of battery utilization and monitoring.
The Effect of the Internet of Things, Artificial Intelligent and Tracking on Smart Transportation
Authors: Offei Martin Otu , Toku Lomatey
Published: July 2024

The life of an individual, an organization, and a country depends on the
movement of products and services across international borders. International trade
follows hallowed transportation lines; any disruption to these channels costs countries,
organizations, and people millions of dollars and raises the cost of conducting business
internationally. In order to ensure smart transportation, this study examined how
artificial intelligence (AI), the Internet of things (IoT), and tracking will affect
transportation. The introduction of these technologies (AI, IoT, tracking) into the
transportation value chain will lead to smart transportation and improve efficiency in
the area where they are introduced. The application of these technologies in the private
sector of a developing market was the main topic of our study. 100 respondents were
surveyed quantitatively in the private sector. SmartPLS was employed as a technique to
clarify the ad hoc interaction between smart transportation and the independent and
dependent variables of artificial intelligence, the internet of things, and tracking. The
findings of this study indicate that tracking, the internet of things, and artificial
intelligence have a good impact on smart mobility. The results of this study provide
compelling evidence that smart technology investments are necessary if efficiency is to
continuously increase. The findings from this study should help governments and
businesses make the necessary investments in IoT and AI infrastructure to benefit from
smart transportation, as this is the path to the supply of products and services. While
considering smart transportation, it is also necessary to shield it from potential
cyberattacks.

Published: July 2024

As the modern world is progressing towards technological advancements
year by year, the human species is endangering other species in land, water, and air.
The very existing industrial advancement is focusing on human needs only and now the
situation is worsening due to the natural impacts of animal species. Due to these
compelling reasons, the Internet of Things has come to the rescue of endangered
species. We are replacing IoT with explainable artificial intelligence due to the fact that
XAI will address the black box problem of AI. In our paper, we incorporate the specific
robust elements of XAI to provide a framework that will give results that are useful for
researchers who are responsible for protecting endangered species. The XAI model has
higher accuracy and is cost-effective during deployment which makes the proposed
approach even more promising.

Published: July 2024

Agriculture is considered one of the evergreen and blooming sectors which
is continuously addressing the needs of the growing population around the world. In a
country like India with hundred crore population, 37 million to 118 million still depend
on farming. The use of machinery and modern practices in agriculture is still not
followed by the majority of farmers. Adoption of modern farm practices can result in
increased yield of the crop, reduction in pollution, less water consumption, effective
pest management and pesticide usage. There is a need for a lot of research on new
inventions that help farmers to overcome these challenges. Artificial intelligence and
machine learning are two domains that need to be utilized to address the challenges.
Even though many researchers have focused on these issues, it is still way war far
behind. In this paper, I would like to propose some of the approaches of Artificial
Intelligence and Machine Learning that address the challenges faced by farmers.

Authors: Kandiah Mathivathani , Bhaskaran Dharsha , Perera Ominda
Published: July 2024

Nanotechnology is a fast-rising market in catalytic research; however, the production of eco-friendly nanoparticles remains a significant challenge. In this study, silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) were synthesized from the agro-industrial waste of leaves of C. longa, C. aromatica, C. caesia, C. zedoaria, and C. amada at RT after 24 h, which was confirmed with UV-spectrophotometric evaluation between 320-520 nm. SEM revealed cubic and 30-50 nm AgNPs, while band-gap energy was presented as semi-conductors. Synthesized AgNPs were experimented for their antioxidant, cytotoxic, PNP-catalytic, and photocatalytic activity. The antioxidant assays were determined for WEs and AgNPs. The AgNPs revealed higher TFC, TPC, and TAC than WEs. Cytotoxicity of AgNPs was assessed with the viability of Artemia salina and approved to be non-toxic. PNP catalysis was executed with 4000 ppm AgNPs, and remarkable PNP degradation was obtained within 30 minutes. Photocatalytic ability of 4000 ppm and 266.67 ppm AgNPs were tested to degrade methyl-orange, and a rapid degradation was observed with NaBH4. Results of these assays reveal that synthesized AgNPs are potential candidates for integration into the manufacturing of catalytic and photocatalytic agents; thereby, these AgNPs can improve the quality of life by providing cleaner environments for organisms.
Probing the Role of Digital Payment Solutions in Gambling Behavior: Preliminary Results From an Exploratory Focus Group Session With Problem Gamblers
Authors: Lakew Nathan , Jonsson Jakob , Lindner Philip
Published: July 2024

Background

Technology has significantly reshaped the landscape and accessibility of gambling, creating uncharted territory for researchers and policy makers involved in the responsible gambling (RG) agenda. Digital payment solutions (DPS) are the latest addition of technology-based services in gambling and are now prominently used for deposit and win withdrawal. The seamless collaboration between online gambling operators and DPS, however, has raised concerns regarding the potential role of DPS platforms in facilitating harmful behavior.

Objective

Using a focus group session with problem gamblers, this study describes a preliminary investigation of the role of DPS in the online gambling context and its influence on players’ gambling habits, financial behavior, choices of gambling environment, and the overall outcome of gambling subjective experiences.

Methods

A total of 6 problem gamblers participated in a one-and-half-hour focus group session to discuss how DPSs are integrated into their everyday gambling habits, what motivates them to use DPS, and what shifts they observe in their gambling behavior. Thematic analysis was used to analyze the empirical evidence with a mix of inductive and deductive research approaches as a knowledge claim strategy.

Results

Our initial findings revealed that the influence of DPSs in online gambling is multifaced where, on the one hand, their ability to integrate with players’ existing habits seamlessly underscores the facilitating role they play in potentially maximizing harm. On the other hand, we find preliminary evidence that DPSs can have a direct influence on gambling outcomes in both subtle and pervasive ways—nudging, institutionalizing, constraining, or triggering players’ gambling activities. This study also highlights the increasingly interdisciplinary nature of online gambling, and it proposes a preliminary conceptual framework to illustrate the sociotechnical interplay between DPS and gambling habits that ultimately capture the outcome of gambling’s subjective experience.

Conclusions

Disguised as a passive payment enabler, the role of DPS has so far received scant attention; however, this exploratory qualitative study demonstrates that given the technological advantage and access to customer financial data, DPS can become a potent platform to enable and at times trigger harmful gambling. In addition, DPS’s bird’s-eye view of cross-operator gambling behavior can open up an opportunity for researchers and policy makers to explore harm reduction measures that can be implemented at the digital payment level for gambling customers. Finally, more interdisciplinary studies are needed to formulate the sociotechnical nature of online gambling and holistic harm minimization strategy.

Published: July 2024

BACKGROUND

Hypertension is the single most significant modifiable risk factor for all-cause morbidity and mortality worldwide.Lifestylechanges are the cornerstone of prevention and treatment of hypertension，Traditional lifestyle intervention depends on the hospital visit follow-up, patients with poor execution and poor compliance.However, the therapeutic effect of LIAN digital therapy with Internet technology in patients with mild hypertension is not yet established.

OBJECTIVE

We aim to evaluate the therapeutic efficacy of LIAN digital therapeutics in patients with new-onset mild hypertension who did not receive antihypertensive medication.

METHODS

This randomized controlled clinical trial included 1525 individuals with new-onset mild hypertension who were admitted to our Health Management Medicine Center between January 2022 and March 2023. They were randomly assigned 1:1 to the digital therapeutics group (n=756) or the control group (n = 769). The primary efficacy endpoint was the mean change in office blood pressure (BP) from baseline to 12 weeks. The key secondary efficacy endpoints were the mean changes in lipoprotein indices and lifestyle factors from baseline to 12 weeks.

RESULTS

The mean office BP decreased from 142.03 (SD 8.05)/90.39 (SD 5.69) to 136.19 (SD 10.60)/85.44 (SD 7.62) mmHg in the digital therapeutics group and from 141.91 (SD 7.25)/90.28 (SD 5.57) to 139.78 (SD12.33)/89.00 (SD 8.84) mmHg in the control group, with a mean difference in systolic BP and diastolic BP of –5.85 mmHg (95% CI –6.64 to –5.05 mmHg; P<0.001) and –4.95 mmHg (95% CI –5.50 to –4.40 mmHg; P<0.001), respectively. From baseline to 12 weeks, office BP control (<140/90 mmHg) was achieved in 423 (56.0%) patients in the digital therapeutics group and 308 (40.1%) patients in the control group (P<0.001). At 12 weeks, no group differences existed in high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (P=0.082), total cholesterol (P=0.055) or low-density lipoprotein (P=0.222) concentrations. However, changes in the total cholesterol/high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio and lifestyle factors were statistically significant (P<0.001). At 12 weeks, there were significant differences in lifestyle factors, including limiting oil consumption (P<0.001), limiting salt consumption (P<0.001), smoking status (P<0.001), drinking status (P<0.001), and exercise status (P<0.001), between the digital therapeutics group and the control group.

CONCLUSIONS

Our study confirmed the superiority of digital therapeutics for improving BP and lifestyle factors in people with new-onset mild hypertension without antihypertensive medications.

Published: July 2024

El objetivo del presente estudio es comprender los procesos de desarrollo profesional docente y aprendizaje continuo del profesorado que trabaja en contextos de encierro, en el escenario de crisis socio sanitaria derivada de la Covid-19. Para ello, se realizó un estudio narrativo tópico con profesoras y profesores de dos establecimientos educativos de un complejo penitenciario en Chile, a través de 16 entrevistas narrativas individuales y una entrevista grupal. El análisis muestra un estado inicial altamente precario y desafiante, con escaso apoyo político e institucional, que redunda en diferentes formas de exclusión social. Durante la pandemia la suspensión de clases exacerbó estas dificultades y el profesorado debió transitar desde la improvisación hacia el trabajo colaborativo. Actualmente, el profesorado confirma “un abandono histórico” a la educación en prisiones por parte de las instituciones y políticas públicas, aunque ha conseguido fortalecer su identidad pedagógica.
La Regulación de la Propiedad Inmobiliaria en los primeros años de la Reforma, 1854-1856
Authors: Mireles Romero Luis Julián
Published: July 2024

La propiedad, a diferencia de otras libertades, estuvo mayormente protegida durante el siglo XIX, lo que ocasionó que se emitieran normas para su regulación; a la vez, fue una fuente de ingresos para el Estado mexicano. Entre los años de 1854 y 1856 se emitió legislación para salvaguardarla como la ley que permitió la expropiación por causa de utilidad pública o el Estatuto Orgánico Provisional de la República Mexicana. A la par también hubo imposición de contribuciones, como el de hipotecas o predial. Lo que marcó una transformación fue la ley de desamortización tanto de fincas rústicas como de urbana de corporaciones civiles y eclesiásticas por su tendencia a limitarla. Pero, en general, durante el movimiento reformista se tendió a favorecer la propiedad privada, frente a la dictadura santanista que no hizo diferencia en cuanto a las modalidades; sin embargo, más allá de regímenes se intentó garantizarla y fomentarla.

Published: July 2024

In the digital age, learning English as a Second Language (ESL) has undergone an unprecedented transformation, driven both by technological evolution and by the understanding of the importance of emotions in the educational process. This article explores the intersection of technology, emotions, and learning English, highlighting the figure of the Homo Technologicus, a species immersed and shaped by technology, but still essentially human. Through a philosophical and pedagogical analysis, this paper argues that, even though technology offers innovative tools and methods, it is crucial to balance it with sound pedagogical approaches that consider students’ emotions and motivations. Personalization of learning English as a second language, driven by algorithms and data, is a powerful tool, but it must be used in a way that fosters human connection and the holistic development of the individual.

From Man vs. Nature to Environment vs. Budget - The Shifting Battles in the History of Pollution and Toxicity in Hamilton Harbour
Authors: Giglia Sara N.
Published: July 2024

Hamilton Harbour is the principle port serving South Western Ontario and the Niagara Peninsula region with two of Canada’s largest steel manufacturers occupying the waterfront. As early as the 1860s fishery inspectors in Hamilton noted that fish tasted of coal, and that there were dead ducks and small animals that were coated in oil from refineries. In the 1950s the Hamilton Harbour was deemed unfit for recreational use and, even today, has yet to be delisted from the International Joint Commission’s Area of Concerns designations list. Giglia’s article seeks to add to the growing scholarship on the environmental history of Ontario. She analyzes historical sources of pollution and shows how they have affected Hamilton Harbor’s ecology. Furthermore, Giglia weighs the efforts and effectiveness of specific groups in their attempt to delist the Hamilton Harbour from the Area of Concerns designation list.
The Poverty of Bureaucracy: New Left Theory and Practice in the Canadian Labour Movement during the 1960s and 1970s
Authors: Antaya Sean P.
Published: July 2024

This essay examines the New Left’s impact on the Canadian labour movement in the 1960s and 1970s. Specifically, it argues that in large industrial unions such as the UAW, New Left ideas that were popular amongst the rank and file were stifled by the more conservative labour bureaucrats. However, in public sector unions and unions unaffiliated with the Canadian Labour Congress, New Left ideas were often able to flourish, and these more radical unions were sometimes able to obtain substantial gains for their members throughout the 1970s while also fostering a broader sense of class consciousness in Canadian society — culminating most notably in the Common Front’s general strikes in Quebec. Furthermore, this essay suggests that New Left ideas were more popular in public sector and independent unions because these unions had a larger proportion of women in comparison to other unions, and women at this time had a greater incentive to embrace transformative ideologies than men.

We introduce a quantum information theory-inspired method to improve the characterization of many-body Hamiltonians on near-term quantum devices. We design a new class of similarity transformations that, when applied as a preprocessing step, can substantially simplify a Hamiltonian for subsequent analysis on quantum hardware. By design, these transformations can be identified and applied efficiently using purely classical resources. In practice, these transformations allow us to shorten requisite physical circuit-depths, overcoming constraints imposed by imperfect near-term hardware. Importantly, the quality of our transformations is tunable: we define a 'ladder' of transformations that yields increasingly simple Hamiltonians at the cost of more classical computation. Using quantum chemistry as a benchmark application, we demonstrate that our protocol leads to significant performance improvements for zero and finite temperature free energy calculations on both digital and analog quantum hardware. Specifically, our energy estimates not only outperform traditional Hartree-Fock solutions, but this performance gap also consistently widens as we tune up the quality of our transformations. In short, our quantum information-based approach opens promising new pathways to realizing useful and feasible quantum chemistry algorithms on near-term hardware.

É possível alguma relação entre os aphrodisia da Antiguidade e as sexualidades contemporâneas? Sim, mas não conforme a ingênua (e equivocada) crença em uma continuidade linear. O que une estes períodos tão distantes, que englobam regiões, sociedades e culturas díspares é justamente a descontinuidade, a ruptura, a dessemelhança que somente podem ser ressaltadas através de pesquisas acadêmicas realizadas com precisão e cuidado. Dessa forma, os temas encontrados no livro Gênero e Regulações do Sexo entre antigos e modernos são vários, indo desde a religiosidade suméria até as mídias digitais atuais, passando pela Grécia e Roma clássicas até as cidades brasileiras de Santa Maria e Campo Grande, incluindo reflexões tanto do prazer sagrado e da política dos eunucos, quanto das bases doutrinais iniciais do cristianismo até os debates sobre AIDS no cinema da Boca do Lixo de São Paulo e as relações entre sexualidade e deficiência (entre outros). Tal variedade nos é ofertada através de distintas vivências, representações e questionamentos sociais sobre sexo, gênero e corpo. Contando com pesquisadoras e pesquisadores das áreas de História, Sociologia, Antropologia, Letras, Psicologia, Arqueologia, Gerontologia e Educação, Gênero e regulação do sexo entre antigos e modernos é obra fundamental para quem deseja não apenas conhecer épocas pretéritas, mas refletir sobre os rumos (inclusive os sexuais) de nosso momento histórico.
Da'wah Methods in Qur'anic Invitations to Reflect on the Universe
Authors: Fauziah Mira
Published: July 2024

The Qur'an commands Muslims to observe and interpret the universe rationally, considering natural phenomena as signs of Allah's existence and guidance for humankind. This study explores the Qur'anic method of da'wah through verses inviting reflection on the universe. Employing a qualitative research design and a thematic analysis approach, the study examines Qur'anic verses related to natural phenomena and their implications for da'wah. Primary data sources include ayat kawniyyah (verses about natural phenomena) from the Qur'an, with secondary data from classical and contemporary Islamic scholarship, tafsir literature, and scientific studies on environmental preservation. The analysis reveals that the Qur'an emphasizes the observation and study of the universe, highlighting its creation, balance, and order by Allah. The study identifies three main da'wah methods: da’wah bi al-Hāl (concrete actions in environmental conservation), da’wah bi al-lisan (rational and scientific argumentation), and da’wah bi al-qalb (fostering opposition to environmental destruction). The findings underscore the importance of integrating spiritual, philosophical, and practical dimensions in environmental stewardship.

This study explores Abd al-Rauf's influence within the geographic and historical milieu of Aceh, focusing on his contributions during the reign of four sultanas and his role as Qadi Malik al-Adil. It underscores his historical approach to Quranic exegesis and efforts to make Quranic teachings accessible to Malay-speaking audiences. Using a systematic literature review, the study analyzes 21 key documents on Abd al-Rauf's contributions. Documents were selected based on relevance to three themes: geographic and historical context, tafsir methodology, and Quranic translation. Findings reveal that 43% of the literature highlights Abd al-Rauf's historical influence, 19% discusses his tafsir methodology, especially in Turjuman al-Mustafid, and 38% examines his translation of the Quran into Malay using the Jawi script. The study concludes that Abd al-Rauf's contributions have significantly enriched the Islamic intellectual tradition in Southeast Asia, enhancing the region's scholarly and cultural heritage and providing a foundation for ongoing research into Quranic exegesis and Islamic teachings in the Malay world.

Batik merupakan salah satu warisan budaya leluhur Indonesia yang harus dipertahankan karenamemiliki karakter unsur budaya berbasis local wisdom yang sarat akan nilai-nilai sosial danspiritual suatu daerah. Pada dahulu kala teknik pengerjaan batik masih bersifat sangat tradisionaldengan menggunakan motif lukis dan pewarna alam. Namun karena adanya pengaruhteknologi, tingkat konsumerisme, kebutuhan dan daya jual maka saat ini pengerjaan batik mulaiberalih ke penggunaan batik print (cap) dan pewarna sintetis kimiawi yang tentunya ini sangatberbahaya dan memiliki efek yang buruk bagi kesehatan dan lingkungan. Melihat kondisi ini,maka tim pengabdi yang bekerjasama dengan Lembaga Kursus dan Pelatihan Putri Nayumencoba untuk memberi motivasi, pengetahuan, pemahaman, pelatihan dan praktek sertapendampingan kepada masyarakat kelompok belajar LKP Putri Nayu untuk bersama-samamelestarikan batik go green yang ramah lingkungan (Eco-batik) dengan memanfaatkan potensisumber daya alam hayati sebagai pewarna alami berbasis kearifan lokal daerah Jambi.
