Published: July 2024

Tramadol misuse, particularly for off-label purposes, has become a major aspect of the broader substance use challenge in recent years, and it is rapidly evolving into a health crisis. Tramadol is used off-label among young men in Nigeria, Asia, and other African countries for premature ejaculation, euphoria, and sustained painless physical activities. To conceal the bitter taste of Tramadol and promote euphoria, abusers always dissolve it with Lacasera® soft drink. To investigate the possible effects of this combination in humans, a 28-day subacute toxicity study was conducted with male Wistar rats. The rats were divided into eight groups (six per group). Group 1 received Lacasera® soft drink while group 2 received deionized water. Groups 3, 4 and 5 received 35mg/kg/day, 70.7mg/kg/day and 106mg/kg/day of Tramadol dissolved in deionized water, respectively. Groups 6, 7 and 8 received similar doses of Tramadol dissolved in Lacasera® soft drink. Blood samples were collected from the rats and analyzed using standard methods. Results were presented as mean ± SD and p≤0.05 values were considered statistically significant. The electrolytes results indicated statistically significant dose-dependent increase in Na and Clions, but decreased significantly in K+ and HCO3- in the groups treated with Lacasera®-Tramadol combination. In the Lacasera®-Tramadol combination, urea and creatinine increased dose-dependently. The AST, ALT, ALB, TB, and CB in the Lacasera®-Tramadol combination showed dose-dependent significant increase in these liver function parameters. Our studies show that even at a standard dose, Lacasera® soft drink renders Tramadol more toxic. Chronic abuse of this combination increases the risk of major health problems such electrolyte imbalance, which can lead to hypertension, liver dysfunction, and renal failure.

Introduction. Worldwide, millions suffer from dengue fever, a mosquito-borne virus that is severe. No particular antiviral drugs exist, making dengue management difficult. New therapies like Eltrombopag Olamine, originally developed for thrombocytopenia, have shown promise. This study examines Eltrombopag Olamine's dengue fever treatment potential using literature, experimental data, and clinical implications. Methodology. This systematic review examines the available literature on the use of Eltrombopag Olamine for the treatment of dengue fever. Thorough keyword searches throughout databases like PubMed and Cochrane, as well as hand-searching of reference lists, provide a large data set for analysis. Result. The small-molecule thrombopoietin receptor agonist eltrombopag olamine showed immunomodulatory properties that are important in the treatment of dengue fever. Studies on dengue patients show that it successfully increases platelet counts, suggesting it may be useful in treating thrombocytopenia. Phase III studies are now investigating its effect on platelet counts and fluid leakage in dengue patients, which might lead to new and improved treatments in the future. Conclusion. The study highlights Eltrombopag Olamine's dengue fever management potential. Its novel approach and favorable patient results, including shortened hospital stays and improved quality of life, provide promise for dengue fever treatment. Policymakers and healthcare providers must fund more research to fully uncover its therapeutic effects. Eltrombopag Olamine might transform dengue treatment, improving efficacy and quality of life for millions.
Exploring the Hidden Biotechnological Treasure of Bacterial Symbionts in Xestospongia sp. from Derawan Island: A Study on Antimicrobial and Enzyme-Producing Bacteria
Authors: Sumarlin Sumarlin , Gaffar Syamsidar , Edward Adriyana
Published: July 2024

In the face of escalating drug resistance amongst microorganisms, the imperative to discover novel sources of antimicrobials is growing. To this end, this investigation delves into the potential of sponge symbiotic bacteria as an alternative source. The aim is to identify and assess the antimicrobial and biocatalytic capacities of symbiotic bacteria located in Xestospongia sp., indigenous to the waters of Derawan Island, Indonesia. Leveraging ½ strength R-2A agar medium, we succeeded in isolating seven symbiotic bacterial strains. The antimicrobial prowess of these isolates was subsequently put to the test against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli. Five of the seven isolates demonstrated a significant capacity to inhibit bacterial growth, with the Xp-05 isolate being the most effective. Molecular identification revealed that these symbiotic bacteria were part of the Bacillus genus, more specifically Bacillus cereus (Xp-03, Xp-05, and Xp-06) and Bacillus xiamenensis (Xp-01 and Xp-07). Notably, all these isolates were capable of synthesizing protease, amylase, lipase, and cellulase enzymes.. The findings from this research highlight the significant potential of symbiotic bacterial isolates from Xestospongia sponges in Derawan Island's waters for medical and biotechnological applications.

Authors: Gupta Trasha , Garg Vidhan , Kaushal Sarika , Seniaray Sumedha
Published: July 2024

Emotions form the reflection of an individual's mental state. Automatic expression analysis and its recognition based on their facial landmarks are of critical use, particularly to understand the emotional states of physically disabled individuals like autistic children, deaf, dumb, and bedridden individuals. This approach helps in interpreting human emotions, which is crucial for designing computational models and interfaces that cater to their needs. While traditional research has focused on six basic emotion categories (happiness, surprise, sadness, anger, fear, disgust), your work expands this by exploring compound emotion categories. Compound emotions combine these basic categories to create nuanced emotional states. The research utilizes the CFEE_Database_230 dataset of facial expressions captured for analysis and training purposes. The proposed methodology has the following three steps: Analyze the dataset and extract the region of interest (ROI), Extract various statistical and potentially discriminating features and apply a multi-label classification approach to categorize sets of emotions. This involves comparing the feature values across different emotion classes and assigning appropriate labels, particularly focusing on compound emotion categories. Also, the research employs different classifiers and metrics to evaluate the effectiveness of the model. After applying the classification methods, the results are analyzed using various metrics to assess the accuracy and effectiveness of emotion recognition based on facial landmarks. Based on the findings, the Binary Relevance Method yielded the best performance with Mean Average Precision and hamming Loss of 0.7227±0.0344 and 0.1906±0.0227, respectively. Overall, the work contributes to advancing automatic emotion recognition by considering a broader range of emotional categories beyond the traditional basics. This is particularly beneficial for populations such as the physically disabled and autistic children, where traditional communication methods might be limited or challenging.

Financial Statement Fraud Before the Pandemic COVID-19
Authors: Azizah Widyaningsih
Published: July 2024

Financial statement fraud is a practice that can cause huge losses for investors, a lack of trust in the market and the existing accounting system, and the wrong decision-making process. Financial statement fraud can start from the manipulation of financial statements that are considered immaterial but then become a massive accounting scandal or start from the opportunistic behavior of managers so that their goals can be achieved. This study relies on the components of the fraud diamond to detect financial statement fraud, which consists of pressure, opportunity, rationalization, and ineffective monitoring. Pressure is proxied by external pressure, opportunity is proxied by ineffective monitoring, rationalization is proxied by auditor changes where auditor changes in companies can be seen as an attempt to eliminate fraud trials by previous auditors, and capability is proxied by changes in directors. This study succeeded in proving that pressure has a significant negative effect on financial statement fraud, and capability has no significant effect on financial statement fraud. Meanwhile, opportunity and rationalization do not affect financial statement fraud.
The “Whole” in Our Holiness: New Covenant Wholeness in James 1
Authors: Baker Mark H.
Published: July 2024

This article argues that the new covenant promises in Jer 31:31–34 and Isa 52:11–54:17 stand as key theological antecedents to Jas 1. This background informs the author’s meaning of the concept of wholeness. This “new covenant wholeness” connects the central themes in the chapter: Steadfastness through travails produce wholeness (1:4). God’s wholeness is put on display as he gives “generously” to all (1:5), and his gifts are “whole” (1:17). New covenant members have received the “implanted word” (1:21) and show no division between faith and action through their meditation on the “perfect law of liberty” (1:25).
SENI MEMAHAMI KABAR LANGIT:

Published: July 2024

Discussions by researchers of the Qur'an recently have reached a formulation regarding the importance of presenting a methodology that is comprehensive and relevant to current developments, so that the Qur'an can be interpreted in a relevant way to answer the problems of the times. Among the methodological problems raised as criticism of existing exegetical methods is the lack of space for contextualizing the interpretation of the Qur'an in discussing current and developing issues. Previous methods of interpreting the Qur'an mostly explained the meaning of language and reproduced discussions that may have been put forward several hundred years earlier. Against this methodological situation, a method of interpreting the Qur'an is proposed which adds to the previous method which touches more on the meaning of language or issues of jurisprudence, creed, etc., with a new method which includes historical analysis, investigation of the universal value of verses, as well as the universal mission of treatises. and Islamic law. The method proposed is hermeneutics. Since its emergence, hermeneutics has become a controversy between pros and cons. What is often discussed is the ideological and methodological face. This paper attempts to describe the material objects in this research descriptively and analytically. By reviewing the literature, this research describes the problems of presenting hermeneutics as a method of interpreting the Qur’an, as well as criticizing it. The results of the study in this manuscript are that there are several methodological and ideological issues as a critical discussion of the implementation of hermeneutics as a method of interpreting the Qur’an. The aim of this research is to criticize hermeneutics as a method of understanding the Qur’an. With this critical effort, it is hoped that the weaknesses and strengths of this method will be discovered. It is hoped that this criticism of hermeneutics can be an objective answer to the controversy over the presentation of hermeneutics as a method of interpreting the Qur’an.
Linking Rubrics and Academic Performance: An Engagement Theory Perspective
Authors: Francis Julie
Published: July 2024

While marking rubrics offer a range of potential benefits for students and staff, educators are working to develop a richer understanding of the most effective ways to unlock these benefits. This study contributes by examining the link between rubrics and performance through the lens of student engagement. The work introduced an assessment rubric and examined student grades across three conditions: i) when students do/do not have the marking rubric, ii) when students do/do not engage with a discussion about how and why to use the rubric, and iii) when students do/do not engage with the rubric discussion plus additional resources. The results indicate that simply providing a rubric does not necessarily lift student performance whereas higher grades are evident when students engage with discussing the rubric. Further analysis showed that grades were ever higher when students engaged with the rubric discussion plus additional resources. The findings have practical implications for effectively using rubrics and fostering improved performance through student engagement.
Exploring collaboration in online group based assessment contexts: Undergraduate Business Program
Authors: Paterson Terrie , Prideaux Murray
Published: July 2024

Focussing on a specific higher education online learning environment (OLE), this study aims to investigate and analyse instructional designs that employ Positive Interdependence, Individual Accountability, Teaching Presence, Authenticity and Group Skills Development as educational strategies to mitigate group work issues and subsequently encourage collaborative group work. Group work is a challenging learning space for both participants and facilitators in the higher education sector. Known issues such as free riding, unfair marking and a lack of existing group work skills in the student cohort, create a catalyst for conflict which can lead to negative perceptions and avoidance of group work. Isolation and the resulting independent learning culture typifying online study contexts further challenge collaborative and active learning pedagogies required in contemporary online adult learning and assessment contexts.
Revelations from story writing in business statistics: An exercise in decoding
Authors: Lemieux Collette , Quiring Brad
Published: July 2024

This paper describes our experiences with implementing an innovative approach to decoding our discipline, which involves writing dialogue-driven stories that explore authentic, context-rich problems within introductory business statistics. Our paper begins by introducing the decoding model created by Middendorf and Pace (2004). We then explain why we initially chose to write pedagogical stories as a meaningful way to deliver our course material, later discovering that the process also served as an alternative means of decoding our discipline. The discussion focuses on our case study, which investigates how the process of writing stories lead to significant benefits for ourselves as instructors. In particular, we connect our learning experiences to Middendorf and Pace’s (2004) work on decoding the discipline, which utilizes a seven-step process to help faculty members interrogate their teaching processes for bottleneck concepts. We present our reflections on how the process of writing stories acted as an effective alternate means of decoding the discipline.
When one size does fit all: Simultaneous delivery of statistics teaching to multiple audiences
Authors: Hilliam Rachel , Vines Karen
Published: July 2024

In 2019, The Open University celebrated its 50th anniversary. For most of its fifty years it has been delivering statistics education to both specialists and non-specialists, simultaneously and at scale. A single module must deliver statistics teaching across multiple qualifications in many different disciplines which means it is not possible to tailor module material and examples for each individual qualification. This is contrary to the way many service teaching modules are designed. For example, the introductory statistics module at The Open University delivers basic statistics and probability to around 1500 students a year. By structuring the material around topics to which everyone can relate; money, education and health, the module is able to engage students across a range of different qualifications from mathematics to economics, business studies, computing and natural sciences. Feedback from students has been overwhelmingly positive. Students are provided with printed material, which is supplemented with a variety of interactive elements, which will be described in this paper. Online forums provide a place for peer support. Small group tutorials, both face to face and online, are provided by tutors. Each tutor will typically support 20 students and provide feedback to those students on their assessable work. The students in an individual tutor’s group could be studying one of many different qualifications. All the module material, including all the interactive elements, are embedded in the university’s virtual learning environment which has made it possible to monitor how students engage with the material. This knowledge, and qualitative feedback from students, has provided support for the idea that by teaching through a narrative approach, with examples based on scenarios which have a broad interest to everyone, it is possible to engage all students with statistics regardless of their qualification. By taking this same narrative approach a new module is being created which will be studied concurrently by students in the final stages of their qualifications in mathematics, statistics, data science and economics. This paper will outline how the module will utilize Jupyter notebooks to deliver practical modelling with real data sets chosen to be of interest to all the different cohorts of students. During the last 50 years The Open University has always had to deliver modules at scale to students across many disciplines. With the increased use of data across qualifications, and the need for people to upskill in data analysis, it is essential to explore ways in which statistical training can be delivered at scale.

Authors: Crawford Joseph , Andrew Martin , Rudolph Jürgen , Lalani Karima , Butler-Henderson Kerryn
Published: July 2024

The novel coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19) that began in the late part of 2019 in Wuhan, China has created significant challenges for higher education. Since the inception of COVID-19 research and practice in the higher education discipline, there has continued to be a focus on exploring its effects in localised contexts. The place-based context, while useful in enhancing individual practice, limits the potential to examine the pandemic from a broader lens. There are for many of us, shared examples of good practice that can serve to collectively improve the higher education sector during and beyond the pandemic. This Special Issue came about as an effort to reinvigorate collaboration across jurisdictional boundaries in a discipline environment characterised by exponential growth in local case studies. This Editorial explores the role that we can play in supporting collaboration among researchers as both a process and end-product to support innovation in the university learning and teaching domain. We believe this Special Issue provides a curated cornerstone for the future of COVID-19 in higher education research. This work, contributed from each corner of the globe seeks to understand not just what is occurring now, but what might occur in the future. We find inspiration in the manuscripts within this Special Issue as they provide innovative responses to the pandemic and opportunities for us to collectively grow to better support academics, students, employers, and communities. We hope you find benefit in progressing through this knowledge dissemination project.
The value of the Australian Awards for University Teachers (AAUT): Building and maintaining excellence in teaching and learning across the nation
Authors: Carbone Angela
Published: July 2024

In this commentary I provide an overview of the national award program, the Australian Awards for University Teachers (AAUT), that has been running for 23 years. I argue that the benefits of the awards are widespread in higher education. They recognise and reward creativity and innovation, they have helped build a culture of collaboration and mentoring that extends across universities and states, and most of all they validate the importance of good quality teaching in universities, providing a recognition and promotion pathway to match that of research awards. The current federal government has made the decision not to fund the awards after 2021, a decision I believe is not only short-sighted but could be damaging for Australia in the global education market. I propose three possible options to continue support for this valuable award program and encourage senior academics and past award winners to work as a group and pursue replacement funding and a sustainable management model for this program. The AAUT awards have an integral role in promoting creativity and innovation in teaching and learning, as well as opening promotion pathways and collaborations across and between universities, and across and between disciplines.
Co-teaching-based professional development: Self-efficacy, attitudes toward the profession, and pedagogical practices
Authors: Sasson Irit , Malkinson Noam
Published: July 2024

The design of university training programs affects academic outcomes therefore, exploring the various design components in the academic program is important. The study explored how participating in a co-teaching-based professional development program (PDP) affects novice teachers' self-efficacy, their attitudes toward the profession, and their application of pedagogical practices; and measured the correlation between self-efficacy and attitudes and how it is influenced by the application of pedagogical practices. We used a questionnaire answered by 300 novice teachers and interviews with 15 teachers who participated during their academic studies in the co-teaching-based PDP. The results indicated a higher sense of self-efficacy and attitudes toward the profession among teachers who participated in the co-teaching-based PDP. The relationship between teachers' self-efficacy and attitudes was partially mediated by six pedagogical applications. The findings provide insights on designing PDP that may contribute to ameliorating the entrance of novice teachers into the teaching profession with teaching skills that will sustain over time.
Inclusive, multi-partner co-creation for the teaching of special educational needs and disabilities in higher education
Authors: Wright Emma , Smith Rosi , Vernon Melissa , Wall Robyn , White Lucinda
Published: July 2024

Co-creation of curriculum content is a growing priority across Higher Education and, while many projects stress the market benefits to institutions and students, this research instead focussed on promoting inclusion, social justice and anti-oppressive practice, with theoretical underpinnings in the social model of disability. This joint research project between staff and students at De Montfort University (DMU), Leicester, led to the co-creation of a Level 6 SEND module on the BA Education Studies programme. The co-designed research explores how the experiences of neurodivergent people, those with SEND, their families and practitioners, can inform teaching practices and module specifications at undergraduate level in Education Studies. Qualitative data, collected via questionnaires, focus groups and interviews with students, parents, practitioners and academics, revealed rich, diverse perspectives on the knowledge and understanding that future educators need, as well as the most inclusive methods for teaching and assessing that knowledge. The practice-based implications of the research included co-creation of a Level 6 SEND module which recognises value in ‘non-professional’ voices and embeds anti-oppressive practice in its design, delivery and assessment.
Characterising collaboration: Reflecting on a partnership between academic support staff and lecturers to help university students learn how to write for the discipline of chemistry
Authors: Makhanya Fezokuhle Mfundo , Qwabe Lindelani , Bryant Katie
Published: July 2024

Academic staff often lament their students’ abilities to write for academic purposes. To address these writing challenges, faculty members can seek support from their university writing centres. Despite the expertise that can be found in areas of writing pedagogy in this location, these partnerships can often be asymmetrical with the academic staff members’ ways of knowing overpowering those belonging to members of the writing centre. Perhaps these issues of inequity and disregard between disciplines are one reason at least half the collaborations that form in universities context fizzle rather than flourish. This article reports on findings from a reflective investigation done by three members of a collaboration that is currently flourishing in its efforts to help first and final year chemistry students learn how to write for academic and research purposes in their discipline at one university of technology in South Africa. Using in-depth interviews, we, two members of the chemistry department and the coordinator of the university writing centre, reflected on our experiences beginning, implementing, and moving the partnership forward. From this reflective process, we have realised that the team members possess particular characteristics (i.e. ways of thinking and being) that have perhaps enabled this enterprise to successful work towards its goal.
An assessment of tutoring performance, challenges and support during COVID-19: A qualitative study in a South African university
Authors: Okoro Chioma , Takawira Oliver , Baur Peter
Published: July 2024

The COVID-19 pandemic brought changes to the teaching and learning arena and posed challenges to efforts to support student performance. The study aims to identify challenges faced during online tutoring and ways to continue to support the tutoring function to teach and disseminate knowledge to students during lockdown. The study was conducted within a faculty in a higher education institution in South Africa using interviews of lecturers and tutors who were purposively selected. Thematic analysis was used to draw out themes on the challenges faced, support provided and suggestions to improve tutoring in online/blended learning. The study exposed several challenges, including internet connectivity, inadequate knowledge on the use of online platforms, lack of clear guidelines for tutors, disconnect with the students and lecturers on a personal level, insufficient internet data, and students' lack of participation and interest. Further findings supported the need for more innovative strategies in the areas of tutor professional development, standardisation of processes and information, regular tutor-lecturer interactions, and the establishment of a community of practice for tutors that feature peer mentoring and support. These findings provide evidence to inform targeted strategies to support tutors in the blended learning space.
Genetic Distance and Gene flow in Two Breeds of Nigerian Indigenous Goats Using Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphic Marker
Authors: Tella Adetunmbi ,   Federal University Oye-Ekiti
Published: July 2024

Due to their hardness in severe weather, capability to yield milk and meat, fast generation times, and goats constitute an indispensable part of rural agricultural systems due to their capacity to withstand the substandard diets that are provided by restricted grazing on marginal soils. Gene flow, genetic distance, genotype frequencies, and alleles were investigated using two native goat breeds from Nigeria. Investigational goat populations included Red Sokoto (50) and WAD (45). For each animal, an ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) container was filled with approximately 5 milliliters of aseptic blood taken. Polymorphism of restriction fragment length and Agarose gel electrophoresis were carried out after the DNA samples were isolated and purified.Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (HWE), gene allele frequency, anticipated and observed heterozygousities (He and Ho, respectively), and populations were compared based on their genetic distances. The degree of genetic diversity was great.According to the findings, Red Sokoto and WAD exhibited the highest genetic similarity (0.9996) and the lowest genetic distance (0.0004) between the two populations. If more animals from different goat breeds are collected, improved genetic research and marker-assisted selections in goat improvement programs would be achievable.

O presente estudo investigou como o estilo de vida dos profissionais de Educação Física afeta negativamente o desempenho de suas funções. Foram identificados fatores adversos, como condições de trabalho inadequadas, desgaste físico e mental, excesso de alunos por turma, falta de recursos didáticos, má remuneração e falta de reconhecimento profissional. A sobrecarga de trabalho, especialmente em academias de ginástica, leva muitos profissionais a não manterem uma prática regular de exercícios físicos devido ao tempo corrido e ao cansaço. Isso resulta em altos níveis de estresse, particularmente entre as mulheres, e aumenta o risco de transtornos mentais e doenças crônicas. A pesquisa utilizou levantamentos bibliográficos em plataformas como Lilacs, PubMed e Google Acadêmico, selecionando nove artigos de 2008 a 2018. Conclui-se que o sedentarismo, provocado pelas longas jornadas de trabalho, é um dos principais motivos para o desenvolvimento de doenças crônicas entre os profissionais de Educação Física. Este estudo destaca a necessidade de intervenções para melhorar as condições de trabalho e promover a saúde desses profissionais. Políticas institucionais que ofereçam suporte psicológico, valorizem a profissão e incentivem hábitos saudáveis são essenciais para reduzir o estresse e melhorar a qualidade de vida dos profissionais de Educação Física.

Native forests show different arrangements for the spatial distribution of trees, which difficult long-term plans for sustainable use and conservation. The present study aimed to assess the distributions of the number of (trees N) and basal area (G) in 10 permanent sample plots in the National Forest of São Francisco de Paula, RS, Brazil. Statistical procedures were performed in a Randomized Latin Square design (RLS) followed by a second stage correlation with Pearson’s coefficient. The Chapman–Richards’ model, using the correlation was applied to obtain the most appropriate sample area size for the continuous forest inventory in native forests. Although differences in the distributions of trees occurred, these were not statistically significant in most of the sample units, especially in G. Applying RLS and using experimental analysis, it was observed that statistical differences in the N and G did not occur for most of the sampling units. The differences found were related to N rather than to G, indicating linear behavior throughout the evaluated period. Compared to those obtained for N in the sample units, the area of G results in greater homogeneity in the statistical analysis. The successive correlations indicated a trend of greater homogeneity with an increase in the area size. The results obtained with the application of Chapman-Richards’ model indicated that a sample area of 1 ha is appropriate for evaluating the studied variables in native forests.
