Published: December 2024

Background: The submandibular gland is quite common to be affected by various disease processes in all age groups that may be difficult to differentiate clinically. Its superficial location makes it readily accessible to ultrasound evaluation.
Objective: To evaluate sonographic features of abnormal submandibular gland.
Methods: Ultrasound images and medical records of patients who presented with clinically suspected submandibular gland disease at a single institution were retrospectively reviewed. Demographic data, final diagnoses, further management, and sonographic findings were evaluated.
Results: Eighty-one patients were identified, 56 females and 25 males (mean [SD] age, 53 [16] years; range, 1 - 87 years). The main presenting symptoms were palpable mass (31 [38.3%]) and pain (23 [28.4%]) involving the left (30 [37.0%]), the right (27 [33.3%]), and bilateral submandibular area (24 [29.6%]). Only 6 patients (8.1%) underwent further imaging. The most common final diagnoses were acute sialadenitis (38 [46.9%]), Sjögren syndrome (14 [17.3%]), tumor (6 [7.4%]), and stone (4 [4.9%]). Submandibular glands were normal in 17 of 81 patients (21%); 9 of 17 (52.9%) had abnormal lymph nodes. Among various disease entities, a significant correlation was found between Sjögren syndrome and small gland size, stone and ductal dilatation, and abnormal lymph nodes with enlarged nodal size (P < .001).
Conclusions: Two-thirds of the patients had inflammatory/infectious diseases, with tumor and stone in minority. Certain ultrasound findings can suggest diagnosis. Less than 10% underwent further imaging, suggesting that ultrasound can be used to detect and guide further management of submandibular disease.
Pyronaridine – the Current Antimalarial Standing Up to Parasite Resistance
Authors: Auparakkitanon Saranya
Published: December 2024

Pyronaridine, an aza-9-anilinoacridine schizonticide, was synthesized in China 54 years ago and since 2012 has been prescribed globally in combination with artesunate, marketed under the name Pyramax. Artesunate is an analog of artemisinin, a sesquiterpene lactone with an endoperoxide moiety, extracted from Artemisia annua L., and used as an herbal remedy in Chinese traditional medicine to treat jungle fever, also discovered in China at nearly the same time. Pyramax is one of the safest and most efficacious forms of artemisinin combination therapy (ACT) for treating uncomplicated Plasmodium falciparum malaria in adults and children. This narrative review explains the mechanism of action of pyronaridine, why it remains effective against P. falciparum even though the parasite has evolved resistance or tolerance to all other antimalarial drugs used in clinical practice, and suggests possible antiplasmodial deaza-pyronaridine (acridine) analogs that could be used should pyronaridine becomes ineffective.

Published: December 2024

This study focused on the determinants of welfare status and net farm income among smallholder sorghum farmers in North West, Nigeria. A multi-stage sampling method was employed to select 140 smallholder sorghum farmers. Primary data were used. The data were analyzed using
descriptive and inferential statistics. The results show that the mean age of smallholder sorghum farmers was 47 years. The smallholder sorghum farmers were literate with approximate of 11 years of school education. Approximate 75% of smallholder sorghum farmers were members of cooperative organizations. Averagely, the farm size was estimated at 1.5 hectares, this means they are small-scale farmers. The gross margin and net farm income were calculated at 557175.35 and 518022.45 Naira per hectare, respectively. This shows that sorghum production is profitable. The total income and expenditure were estimated at 12192714.72 and 476439.76 Naira, respectively. The sorghum farmer household income exchange was calculated at 2.56. Approximate 97 which amounted to 69.29% of smallholder farmers had increased in welfare status from sorghum farming. The age of farmers, level of education, household size, farm experience, farm size, and amount of credit accessed were significantly different from zero in influencing the welfare status of smallholder sorghum farmers. The farm size and labour were significantly different from zero in influencing the net farm income of smallholder sorghum farmers. The study recommends mechanized farming utilizing improved seeds and new farm technologies to increase productivity, income and welfare status.

One of the important tasks of today’s education is to answer the question of “What are the moral and ethical issues associated with the use of advanced learning systems and modern learning environments, supported by AI methods?” Concrete responses could include the development of a recommendation, regulations and standards (some kind of test), on the basis of which one could assess whether an intelligent accessory (program or algorithm) for learning can ensure the students to acquire all the cognitive, social, and emotional competences, i.e., whether it is ‘safe’ to be used in the educational process. The development of such a "test" could affect the development of various similar ‘security’ tests of AI usage in other areas.
THE CRITICAL YET OVERLOOKED SPATIAL COMPETENCE IN LEARNING ASTRONOMY: DECODING SEMANTIC SPATIAL INFORMATION IN PICTURES
Authors: Chen Yi-Chun
Published: December 2024

This study examined the impact of spatial ability on science achievement by distinguishing between domain-general and domain-specific spatial abilities, focusing on their relationship with the conceptual understanding of the apparent path of the sun. Additionally, the mediating effects of domain-specific spatial knowledge on the relationships between spatial ability and science achievement were tested. A mixed-methods design was used. Forty university students participated. Mental rotation and astronomical drawing tests were used to evaluate their general spatial ability and science achievement. The domain-specific spatial knowledge used in solving astronomical drawing tests was ascertained via interviews and analyzed, with results presented as static-type semantic spatial propositions and dynamic-type spatial skills. The results demonstrated an overlap between general spatial ability and domain-specific spatial knowledge, challenging the traditional dichotomy between them. Furthermore, domain-specific spatial knowledge fully mediated the relationship between general spatial ability and science achievement. These findings have significant implications for astronomy education, highlighting the importance of domain-specific spatial competence over general ability in solving domain problems and underscoring the need for explicit instruction in the decoding of semantic spatial information in pictorial representations, which is often overlooked in studies focusing on spatial skills training or the surface characteristics of scientific representations.
Keywords: spatial ability, domain generality, domain specificity, semantic spatial knowledge, astronomy education

История взаимоотношений святителя Димитрия (Абашидзе) с митрополитом Вениамином (Федченковым)
Authors: Гоцкалюк Димитрий
Published: December 2024

Статья посвящена истории взаимоотношений двух известных иерархов Русской Православной Церкви – святителя Димитрия (Абашидзе) и митрополита Вениамина (Федченкова). Новый вводимый в научный оборот биографический материал позволяет не только заполнить отдельные лакуны биографии, но и поставить вопрос о характере их взаимоотношений, о понимании тем и другим своего церковного служения и о выявлении различий в этом. Выясняется, что митрополит Вениамин исповедовал сложную форму корпоративного поведения (и мировоззрения), соединяющую аскетизм и светскость, которая в отдельные периоды жизни проявлялась по-разному. В статье рассматриваются годы его служения ректором в Таврической духовной семинарии: 1911–1913 и 1917–1919 гг. В то же время для святителя Димитрия (Абашидзе) был характерен традиционализм, опора на аскетизм, церковное понимание миссионерства и учебно-воспитательной деятельности. Их взаимоотношения целиком определялись разницей их понимания церковных задач, включая миссионерское дело и общественное служение.
Исследование феномена «простой иконы» как элемента национальной культуры
Authors: Агамирова Ольга Николаевна
Published: December 2024

С XVII в. в русском иконописании сложились отдельные направления, соответствующие социальному положению заказчиков. Состоятельные, образованные горожане предпочитали профессионально написанные изображения, соответствовавшие живописным канонам и практически утратившие связь с традиционной древнерусской иконой. Крестьяне же, быт и сознание которых в наименьшей степени оказались затронуты изменениями, а материальное состояние не позволяло приобретать дорогие произведения, по-прежнему ценили традиционные иконы в простом исполнении. Простые иконы, ориентированные в первую очередь на народную среду, изготовлялись мастерами, не получившими специального академического образования, при помощи недорогих материалов. Далеко не всегда художественная форма и профессионализм исполнения соотносимы с силой религиозного содержания. Являясь частью отечественной истории и культуры, многие из таких иконописных образов обладают духовной ценностью и заслуживают искусствоведческого внимания.

The United Nations is the main institution of the Yalta — Potsdam system of international relations
Authors:   Lomonosov Moscow State University, Moscow, Grishaeva L. E.
Published: December 2024

The article provides a thorough analysis of the documentary materials of
the important international conference in Yalta (1945), which determined the world order for decades
to come and created the main institution of the Yalta system — the United Nations. The conference
managed to make a fi nal decision on many key issues regarding the structure, organs, main goals
and principles of the Organization. The Yalta Conference (1945) also managed to resolve a number
of controversial fundamental issues: these are the issues of primary membership in the UN and the
composition and voting procedure in the UN Security Council (the right of "veto"). The author provide
s interesting information about the particularly heated discussions that unfolded over the admission
of four state entities to the founding states of the UN: Poland, where World War II began and where
the composition of the new Polish government was not finally formed, and the new borders of the
Polish state were not determined; Argentina, which remained formally neutral during World War II,
but where a pro-fascist government came to power in 1943, and only in 1945 Argentina was one of the
last countries to declare war on Nazi Germany; as well as two Soviet republics — the Ukrainian SSR
and the Byelorussian SSR — whose international status was adjusted in 1944 in accordance with the
amendments to the USSR Constitution of 1936, and which made a huge contribution to the Victory in
World War II. The author especially emphasizes how the leaders of the "Big Three" — Stalin, Roosevelt
and Churchill — sought a compromise in solving the most complex world problems, and as a result
found a reasonable solution in the interests of a future global world order without wars. The author
convincingly showed how firmly and consistently the USSR defended its position on recognizing
the leading role of the Soviet state in the world. The author particularly emphasizes that the Yalta
system has not disappeared completely, that the world lives according to the patterns of the Yalta
system, and that it retains its explosive force in the form of international regional confl icts, which are
currently multifactorial in nature. The important historical significance of the Yalta Conference (1945) is that it created the United Nations — the central global organization for international security and peacekeeping, which has existed for 80 years.

India has had four of the world's most destructive earthquakes in the past ten years, and our country is often rocked by earthquakes of low to moderate intensity. Since many buildings were severely damaged or collapsed, it has sparked debate whether framed constructions are sufficiently sturdy to withstand significant vibrations. As a result, the strength or ability of existing reinforced concrete structures to withstand seismic loads can be evaluated. The performance level of earthquake-prone buildings is evaluated using a performance-based design. One seismic technique for assessing a building's performance level is push-over analysis. It is possible to determine whether damage occurs at the member or structure level using pushover analysis. The study employs pushover analysis by Applied Technology Council (ATC) – 4), a seismic assessment technique, to evaluate the ability of 20-story buildings in seismic Zone III (with hard soil characteristics) to resist earthquake-induced forces. The primary objective was to assess the performance of structures reinforced with different fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) materials, including aramid, glass, and carbon fibers, known for their high flexibility and strength in seismically active regions. To determine the best fiber-reinforced polymer configuration, the study considers the following parameters: pushover curve, target displacement, story shear, time period, maximum story displacement, and story drift based on pushover analysis independently. Through the pushover analysis method, the research discovers that FRP wrapping can significantly improve the seismic performance of reinforced concrete buildings. The findings aim to improve building design practices by recommending fiber-reinforced polymer configurations for better earthquake resistance, ensuring that future constructions are better equipped to handle seismic activity.

Authors: Febrian Angga , Hasanah Uswatun , Almunadi
Published: December 2024

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis pandangan hadis mengenai larangan tajassus (memata-matai atau mencari kesalahan orang lain), sebuah perbuatan yang diharamkan dalam Islam berdasarkan Al-Qur'an dan Hadis. Islam menekankan keadilan, kebenaran, dan kasih sayang, namun praktik tajassus bertentangan dengan prinsip-prinsip tersebut dan memiliki dampak negatif yang signifikan terhadap kehidupan sosial. Kajian ini menggunakan metode penelitian kepustakaan (library research) dengan pendekatan kualitatif untuk menelaah dalil-dalil Al-Qur'an dan Hadis yang relevan, serta pandangan para ulama mengenai tajassus. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa tajassus merupakan perbuatan yang diharamkan berdasarkan ayat Al-Qur'an, seperti dalam Surah Al-Hujurat ayat 12, serta diperkuat oleh berbagai hadis Nabi Muhammad Saw. Larangan tajassus bertujuan untuk menjaga kehormatan dan privasi individu, mencegah fitnah, serta memperkuat harmoni dalam masyarakat. Selain itu, penelitian ini menemukan bahwa pelanggaran terhadap larangan ini sering kali memicu konflik, merusak hubungan sosial, dan bertentangan dengan maqasid syariah, yaitu menjaga agama, jiwa, akal, keturunan, dan harta. Kesimpulannya, tajassus bertentangan dengan ajaran Islam yang mengutamakan nilai-nilai moral dan etika. Implikasi penelitian ini adalah perlunya pendidikan dan sosialisasi nilai-nilai Islam mengenai larangan tajassus, terutama di era digital yang memudahkan akses dan penyebaran informasi pribadi. Kajian ini memberikan kontribusi penting dalam memahami dampak sosial dan spiritual dari larangan tajassus dalam Islam.

Authors: Yang Liu , Abidin Muhammad As’ad
Published: December 2024

The coal feeder of our company's pulverizing system adopts JGC-30 weighing metering coal feeder. The raw coal in the raw coal hopper falls onto the coal feeder belt through the coal drop port by its own gravity. The existing design of high belt skirt on both sides is 40mm. A small amount of coal blocks falls off on both sides of the belt during the falling process. Due to the wind force of the coal feeder sealing wind and the operation of the belt, a small amount of coal blocks are scattered and stuck at the coal feeder weighing device. The inaccurate coal quantity measurement leads to large fluctuations in the coal feeding quantity of the pulverizing system, that will makes inducing abnormal vibration of the coal mill, insufficient coal powder output, large amount of slag discharge from the coal mill and other problems, which seriously affect the safe and stable operation of the pulverizing system. In this regard, the coal feeding belt was modified, and the skirts on both sides of the coal feeder were increased to 60mm. After the modification, it can be ensured that the raw coal does not fall from the skirts on both sides during the operation of the coal feeder, thereby solving the problem of inaccurate coal quantity measurement caused by coal blocks stuck in the weighing device. This study aims to address the problem by modifying the coal feeder belt, namely by increasing the skirt height on both sides of the belt from 40mm to 60mm. The method applied was to adjust the belt skirt design directly on the operating coal feeder, followed by operational testing to evaluate the effectiveness of the modification in preventing coal falling from the belt side. Results show that after increasing the height of the skirt belt, there is no more coal falling during coal feeder operation. Coal measurement became more accurate, which had a positive impact on coal feeding stability, reduced vibration in the coal mill, as well as increased fine coal output and reduced the amount of slag produced.

Authors: Maulana Muhammad Fadhel , Sunitiyoso Yos
Published: December 2024

This study explores the Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) strategies of three leading Indonesian multinational enterprises (MNEs)—Indofood, Adaro, and Kalbe—from the food and beverage, mining, and pharmaceutical industries. Using a thematic analysis, the research identifies three key themes shaping their internationalization strategies: Strategic Global Expansion, Operational Integration and Synergy, and Institutional and External Market Dynamics. The findings highlight how these firms leverage global expansion to diversify markets and enhance competitiveness, employ operational integration to achieve synergies and control, and adapt to institutional and regulatory challenges to mitigate risks and maintain resilience. Classical theories such as the OLI Paradigm, Internalization Theory, and Resource-Based View (RBV) provide a foundation for understanding these strategies, while contemporary frameworks like the Linkage-Leverage-Learning (LLL) Framework and Springboard Theory offer nuanced insights into the unique dynamics of emerging market multinationals (EMNEs). This study underscores the critical role of institutional alignment, regulatory compliance, and market adaptability in ensuring successful FDI outcomes. It contributes to the literature by advancing theoretical frameworks to better capture the complexities of FDI from emerging economies and offers practical recommendations for policymakers and practitioners aiming to enhance the global competitiveness of EMNEs.
