Casting a Wider Net: Podcasts to Promote Reading for Library Users
Authors: Kavanagh Annie
Published: July 2024

The article examines the growing role of podcasts in readers' advisory services, emphasizing their potential to engage users with literature and foster a love of reading. As podcasts gain popularity, particularly among younger audiences, they present a unique opportunity for librarians to recommend nonfiction podcasts about books and reading. Unlike audiobooks, podcasts offer shorter, more accessible listening experiences that can introduce users to new titles, support leisure reading, and create a sense of community. The article explores various podcast formats, including book recommendation shows, book club-style discussions, and deep dives into individual books, highlighting their appeal and utility. It argues for integrating podcast recommendations into librarians' practices to enrich the readers' advisory process and connect patrons with literature in innovative ways.

Identification of Borax in Meatball Skewer Snacks in East Lombok
Authors: Gemantari Baiq Maylinda , Fatmayanti Baiq Risma , Ramadhan Leny
Published: July 2024

Meatballs are a processed meat-based food commonly processed by adding chemical preservatives. Many reports find the usage of borax as the chemical preservative in meatballs sold in large markets on Lombok Island. However, the use of borax in the type of meatball consumed as snacks called skewered meatballs has not been identified thoroughly in East Lombok. This study aimed to identify borax in skewered meatballs in East Lombok qualitatively by curcumin paper test and flame test colors using sodium tetraborate as standard. The result showed that 4 samples confirmed positive for borax through the curcumin paper test. Two of those four samples showed the same flame color as standard corresponding to the presence of borax as a preservative in skewered meatballs tested. These results indicate that the curcumin paper test and flame color test were compatible in identifying borax in skewered meatball samples qualitatively.

Published: July 2024

Badan Usaha Milik Desa Merupakan wadah yang di bentuk oleh Pemerintah guna membentuk karakter masyarakat yang produktif, inovastif dan berdaya saing. BUMDes merupakan konsep baru yang mampu meningkatkan usaha ekonomi desa berdasarkan potensi dan kebutuhannya. Selain itu tingkat partisipasi masyarakat lebih aktif di banding model pemberdayaan lainnya baik dalam kepengurusan BUMDes maupun sebagai member. Peran masyarakat dalam pengembangan BUMDes sangat menentukan keberhasilan BUMDes itu sendiri, karena pengelolaan nya sepenuhnya di lakukan oleh masyarakat desa. Termasuk di Desa Meli Kecamatan Balaesang Kabupaten Donggala Provinsi Sulawesi Tengah. Desa tersebut juga mempunyai BUMDes, sehingga menjadi pilihan kami untuk melakukan Sosialisasi terkait pengembangan BUMDes itu sendiri. Berdasarkan hasil Survei yang kami lakukan sebelum kegiatan Sosialisasi di desa tersebut, kami menemukan fenomema yang menarik dan menuai beragam masalah. Tentunya  hal itu relevan dengan konsep yang kami tawarkan terkait dengan model pengembangan BUMDes. Selain itu, sosialisasi yang berkaitan dengan pengembangan BUMDes juga belum pernah dilakukan, baik oleh pemerintah desa setempat maupun dari pihak lain.

Este libro es resultado de los tres Seminarios de Análisis Económico del Nearshoring y el Tratado Comercial de México, Estados Unidos y Canadá que se realizaron en el primer y segundo semestre de 2023 en el Colegio de la Frontera Norte (El Colef). El propósito del seminario fue convocar a los investigadores y estudiosos del tema a discutir ideas, reflexiones y hallazgos económicos relacionados con los cambios en la actividad manufacturera en sus áreas temáticas o regiones de investigación, que puedan asociarse a estos cambios proyectados para la economía nacional e internacional. De alcanzarse, estos cambios implicarían una creciente industrialización de México que tendría que sujetarse a las reglas del T-MEC o USMCA, e implicaría la llegada de grandes inversiones extranjeras que tendrían impacto en el empleo, los salarios, la balanza de pagos, el tipo de cambio y la macroeconomía en general en México y en toda América del Norte. La pregunta es si el país, dadas las actuales condiciones económicas, políticas y de infraestructura, es capaz de obtener provecho de los probables cambios que se perciben en el panorama internacional. Con el Tratado entre México, Estados Unidos y Canadá (T-MEC o USMCA), el ingreso a la OCDE, el G20 y la Alianza del Pacífico, México está muy bien integrado en el orden económico mundial, lo que lo convierte en un país atractivo para atraer inversiones.
A Probable Reason for Qur’ānic Prohibition of Ribā
Authors: Iqbal Muhammad Mazhar , Shah Anwar
Published: July 2024

The Qur’ān bans interest (ribā) and declares its dissimilarity with price in commodity trading. This paper provides a numerical explanation for this dissimilarity. It argues that calculating accrued interest for any loan requires information about the interest rate and compounding period. The compounding period is generally not stated explicitly; rather, it is inferred from the repayment schedule of a loan and bond. For a given principal and interest rate, the interest amount changes in response to any change in the compounding period. Alternatively, for any timeline to repay a prescribed amount of loan more than once a year, three different rates are defined. These are nominal interest rate, internal rate of return, and annual percentage rate. Since various participants in the loanable funds market concentrate on different rates and the ranking of alternative loan options concerning these rates may be contradictory, the law of one interest rate with respect to any one of these three rates is highly implausible if not impossible to prevail in the loanable funds market.
A Critical Appraisal of Obligatory Bequest as Prevalent in Muslim Countries
Authors: Fatima Haseeb
Published: July 2024

The obligatory bequest has been adopted by legal force in several Muslim states. The basic purpose of this adoption is to overcome the economic grievances of orphaned grandchildren. This reform seems to be justified from an Islamic perspective because it does not radically interfere with the Islamic law of inheritance. Orphaned grandchildren who are excluded under the traditional law of inheritance are its beneficiaries. These grandchildren inherit the share of their predeceased parent within the bequeathable limit of one-third of their grandparent’s estate. However, if the grandparent does not make any bequest in their favour, the court will assume that the grandparent has made the bequest and enforce it. Pakistani courts have preferred obligatory bequest over Section 4 of the Muslim Family Laws Ordinance, 1961. However, obligatory bequest is not an ideal solution; it has restricted its benefit to grandchildren only and no provision is made for spouses and surviving parents. Additionally, both these reforms of obligatory bequest and Section 4 suffer from similar anomalies of representational succession. However, the state is the ultimate guardian of all deprived and needy classes. Therefore, the most appropriate way to tackle the economic necessities of orphaned grandchildren is through the welfare and development programmes of Muslim states. This article thoroughly analyses the obligatory bequest and discusses the different models applicable to Muslim countries. Moreover, the article probes the arguments for and against obligatory bequest and examines their implications.

Juvenile overlap syndrome: Considering scleromyositis
Authors: Houssini Ghita Sqalli ,   Dermatology Department, Hassan II University Hospital Center, Fez, Morocco.
Published: July 2024

Scleromyositis refers to a combination of characteristics found in both systemic scleroderma and polymyositis, with identification often based on the presence of the PM-SCL antibody. Currently, there are no well-defined criteria for classifying this syndrome. In childhood cases exhibiting sclerodermoid features, they are often categorized as scleroderma due to the distinct nature of the condition in this age group. We report two cases of children presenting with cutaneous signs of systemic scleroderma and associated myositis. The first case exhibits sclerodactyly, calcinosis, and myalgias with a positive anti-PM/SCL antibody, while the second case shows swollen fingers, clear Raynaud’s phenomenon, and myalgias but a negative anti-PM/SCL antibody. The clinical and biological variation in these cases prompts the dermatologist to consider scleromyositis as a juvenile overlap syndrome, given the sclerodermiform pattern and myositis, regardless of the positivity or negativity of the anti-PM/SCL antibody. As for the treatment, managing Raynaud’s and initiating a low dose of corticosteroid therapy, possibly combined with immunoglobulins, appears to be effective.

Symmetric structures are commonly used in various fields. To ensure the safety of these structures, it is crucial to employ appropriate damage detection methods. Among the methods used for structural health detection, the combination of structural dynamics and neural networks based on finite element models has gained popularity due to its non-destructive nature. This study presents a neural network-based damage detection approach for symmetrical structures, taking into account the similarity of modal features. By considering the interference of modal feature similarity, the proposed method effectively detects damage in symmetrical structures. In this approach, the rates of mode shape change before and after damage are used as inputs to the neural network, as they are found to be less sensitive to modeling errors compared to the mode shapes themselves. The effectiveness and adaptability of the method are validated through a numerical case analysis of a symmetrical load-bearing base plate used in walkers for patients with spinal cord injuries.

Dermoid cyst of the posterior cerebral fossa mimics vascular pathology: A case report and review of the literature
Authors: Abbas Salma ,   Department of Neurosurgery HSR, Ibn Sina University Hospital Center in Rabat, Morocco.
Published: July 2024

Background: Intracranial dermoid cysts are rare benign, slow-growing tumors derived from ectopic cell rests incorporated in the closing neural tube. Radiologically, dermoid cysts are typically hypodense on computed tomography and hyperintense on T1WI and hypointense on T2WI in Magnetic resonnance imaging. Case description: We present a case of a 35-year-old female presented with chronic progressive headache, vomiting and blurred vision. Imaging studies revealed a spontaneously hyperdense mass lesion in the posterior fossa in CT scan; T1 WI hyperintensity and T2 hypointensity on MRI. Surgical excision of the tumor lesion was performed through a suboccipital craniotomy. The histopathological examination was typical for a dermoid cyst. The patient’s symptoms resolved postoperatively. Conclusion: Recognition of these atypical radiological features can help to avoid potential diagnosis and therapeutic pitfalls.

Recent inflationary pressures have significantly affected household disposable incomes across Europe, with Greece being particularly impacted due to its low purchasing power. This study investigates the persistence and evolution of price level differences for fast-moving consumer goods in Greece compared to other euro area countries. It utilises the results of Dixon et al. (2023), who analysed price level differences across 41 product categories in ten euro area countries and found that the main factors contributing to price level differences include producer market competition, retail market structure, local costs and consumer habits. Building on these findings, we construct counterfactual prices and show that aligning Greece’s market structures and consumer behaviour patterns with the euro area average could significantly reduce prices (by 17 percentage points on average for the products with the highest share in total sales). The study also finds that although Greece has become cheaper in relative terms in recent years, it is still, on average, about 10% more expensive compared to euro area countries’ average. These results imply that there is scope for policy action, in particular, in areas that increase competition among producers, improve the structure of the retail market and enhance consumer economic literacy.

值此消費者導向時代，室內設計公司應秉持以客為尊，針對客戶住宅之條件做出最適合之裝修建議，為客戶提供最完整，最優質的室內裝修服務，從而為公司贏得比其他公司更好的聲譽。五項與選擇天花板、壁面及地坪裝修有關之評估準則，依次藉由專家訪談、初步問卷及模糊德菲法(fuzzy Delphi method, FDM)取得。本研究以3個業主住宅之天花板、壁面及地坪之12個裝修項目做為研究對象，採用層級分析法(analytic hierarchy process, AHP)結合偏好順序評價法(technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution, TOPSIS)及模糊偏好順序評價法(fuzzy TOPSIS)兩種不同分析方法，對每個裝修項目中之各替代方案進行擇優排名。12個裝修項目中，對於不同業主採用AHP結合TOPSIS及fuzzy TOPSIS兩種不同方法計算之結果顯示，共有客餐廳天花板、臥房天花板、客餐廳壁面及臥房地坪等四個裝修項目所得各替代方案之排名順序皆相同。對於廚房天花板及浴室壁面之裝修，同一業主採用AHP結合TOPSIS 及fuzzy TOPSIS兩種不同方法所得各替代方案之排名順序皆相同。兩種不同分析方法對於家庭成員僅有二人之業主3所得排名結果差異不大。本研究認為家庭成員愈多之大家庭在替代方案之排名順序應該以更具有參考價值之fuzzy TOPSIS所得之結果為準。

 

In this consumer-oriented era, interior design companies should adhere to the principle of customer-oriented, make the most suitable suggestions for the conditions of customers’ houses decoration, and provide customers with the most complete and high-quality interior decoration services, so as to win more good reputation than other companies. Five evaluation criteria related to the selection of ceiling, wall and floor decoration were obtained through expert interviews, preliminary questionnaires and fuzzy Delphi method in turn. This study takes 12 decoration projects of ceilings, walls and floors of 3 owners’ residences as the research objects, using the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) combined with the technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS) and the fuzzy TOPSIS methods to rank the alternatives in 12 decoration projects. The identical ranking order results were obtained for three owners by AHP combined with TOPSIS and fuzzy TOPSIS in the ceiling of the guest dining room, the ceiling of the bedroom, the wall of the guest dining room, and the floor of the bedroom. For the decoration of kitchen ceilings and bathroom walls, the same owner uses AHP combined with TOPSIS and fuzzy TOPSIS two different methods to obtain the ranking order of the alternatives are the same. There is little difference in the ranking results obtained by the two different analysis methods for owners 3 with only two family members. This study believes that the ranking order of alternative programs for large families with more family members should be based on the results obtained by fuzzy TOPSIS, which has more reference value.

Authors: 江柏煒 江柏煒
Published: July 2024

1937-45年的抗戰時期，中國許多城市與鄉村因戰爭而受到很大的破壞。1944年，時任南洋華僑籌賑祖國難民總會主席的陳嘉庚，回國慰勞軍民，見街衢及鄉村屋宅之衛生狀況不佳，甚至不及20年前的英屬海峽殖民地新加坡。有感於此，陳氏參考新加坡的經驗，提出城市規劃、住屋興建、衛生改良等概念，寫下《住屋與衛生：戰後建國首要》一書，希冀提供戰後中國重建的指導原則。不過，這份著作並未受到廣泛的重視。本文旨在分析陳嘉庚針對居住環境與公共衛生改良所提出來之現代性計畫，藉此討論他對於二次大戰之後的中國重建的願景及想像。首先，以二戰前後的福建金門為例，討論中國農村的環境衛生課題；接著引介陳氏《住屋與衛生》中的現代性論述，特別是關於公共衛生與民康國強的連結。再來指出英屬新加坡城市治理如何成為陳嘉庚的現代性範式，以及他對中國城鄉發展與住屋空間改造的構想；最後，本文通過衛生的現代性到主體性的建構之分析，指出陳嘉庚對於中國現代化的社會實踐與文化想像。

 

During 1937-45, many Chinese cities and countries were destroyed by Japanese invasion. 1944, Tan Kah Kee---the president of the South-east Asia Federation of China---returned to express sympathy and solicitude for homeland’s people. He found the sanitation of Chinese streets and housing during the war was worse than the colony Singapore twenty years ago. Therefore he consulted the experiences of Singapore and wrote down the book---Housing and Sanitation: An Important Proposal for the Reconstruction of China After Post-World War II ---to provide the ideas of city planning, housing reconstruction and sanitation reform. But this book could not attach important to society.This paper will analyze the Tan’s historical project of modernity for Chinese housing and public sanitation. First, I will apply the materials of overseas Chinese’s newsletters during 1930s-40s to point out some issues of environmental sanitation of counties, Fujiang. Moreover, to introduce the Tan’s Housing and Sanitation, and to discuss that how he transplant the urban planning and housing regulation of Singapore to provide the ideas of spatial development and reform in China. Finally, I will make through study for the Tan’s discourse of transplantation and imagination of modernity.

The role of employees in supporting the progress of a social institution like LAZISMU D.I. Yogyakarta is very important, particularly their emotional intelligence and spiritual intelligence, to be able to compete with other increasingly tight and competitive social institutions. In such a workplace environment, LAZISMU D.I. Yogyakarta employees are absolutely required to have high spiritual and emotional intelligence to ensure their performance is optimal. This study uses a quantitative method with primary data obtained from distributed questionnaires. The population in this study consists of employees working at LAZISMU D.I. Yogyakarta. The analysis technique used is multiple linear regression (T-test and F-test) to answer the hypotheses formulated by the researchers. The results of the study indicate that spiritual intelligence has a partial and significant effect on employee performance, as evidenced by the value of tcount > ttable (0.716 > 0.207) and a significance value of 0.480 (sig < 0.05). Meanwhile, emotional intelligence also has a partial and significant effect on employee performance, as shown by the value of tcount > ttable (0.514 > 0.207) and a significance value of 0.611 (sig < 0.05). Additionally, spiritual intelligence and emotional intelligence simultaneously affect employee performance, demonstrated by the value of Fcount > Ftable (0.045 > 3.195) with a significance value of 0.956. The independent variables (Spiritual Intelligence and Emotional Intelligence) can influence the dependent variable (Employee Performance) by 83%, as evidenced by an R Square value of 0.830, while the remaining 17% is influenced by other variables in the study.
From Zero to Overwhelm: PANS and PANDAS as Culprits Behind Sudden OCD in Pediatrics
Authors: Alnaher Sarah
Published: July 2024

Pediatric autoimmune neuropsychiatric disorders (PANDAS) and patient neuropsychiatric syndrome (PANS) are psychiatric illnesses characterized by a rapid onset of symptoms, including obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), behavioral symptoms and poor motor functions in children. The rapid onset and severity of OCD symptoms prompted investigations to provide an evidence-based intervention. This case series investigates the causes, diagnosis and treatment of the disease among children presenting with neuropsychiatric symptoms and acute-onset OCD. The diagnostic procedures provided grounds for the indication of medication. Methods: Bacterial infections, autoimmune cases and viral infections among 12 children with PANDAS and PANS were retrospectively studied. Pre- and post-treatment symptomatology were examined to monitor the effectiveness of interventions, following laboratory diagnostic approaches, including the Cunningham panel, serology, stool sample analysis, polymerase chain reaction (PCR), and bacterial cultures to determine the cause of the disorder. Diagnostic results informed treatments like non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG), fluid therapy, antibiotics, antivirals, steroids, and selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) in each child. Post-treatment diagnostic results revealed remarkably improved symptoms of PANDAS and PANS, like inflammation and viral or bacterial infection. A combined therapy of antibiotics and NSAIDs or steroids was used to clear bacterial infections and manage inflammation. SSRIs and antiviral or fluid therapy were indicated for OCD and viral infections, respectively. Conclusions: OCD is a common comorbid disorder among children with PANS and PANDAS. Despite the severity and prevalence, OCD in children raises health concerns. The case series demonstrated the effectiveness of antibiotic therapy, RRIs, cognitive behavioral therapy, IVIG, steroids and NSAIDs in managing OCD in PANDAS and PANS, with a unique rationale of indication to every child.

The Role of Genetics, Neurobiology, and Psychosocial Factors in the Development and Treatment of Eating Disorders: A Systematic Review
Authors: Alnaher Sarah
Published: July 2024

Eating disorders are severe complications affecting peoples’ eating patterns, with erratic practices like purging behaviors, binge eating, and avoidance of food. These disorders result from different causes, including neurotransmitter imbalance, psychological factors like body-shaming, and genetic inheritance. The present review focuses on genetic, neurobiology and psychological factors to provide an understanding of the development of eating disorders and subsequent treatment. The present review was performed according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) checklist that guided the evidence collection in the review to ascertain high quality. The Participant, Interventions, Comparison, Outcomes, and Studies (PICOS) protocol guided the establishment of potential studies' inclusion criteria. The Grading of Recommendations, Assessments, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE) approach was used to assess the certainty of evidence from the individual studies. Two independent reviewers were tasked with study selection, data collection, and study risk of bias assessed. The reviewers used the Cochrane risk of bias tool to assess the risk of bias in the included studies. Fifteen studies met the eligibility tests and were included in the review. A review of the evidence obtained from the included studies revealed that neurobiology, genetics and psychological factors influence the development of eating disorders like binge eating disorders, anorexia nervosa, and bulimia nervosa. In genetics, familial integration and heredity revealed the passing of the genes responsible for the development of anorexia nervosa in subsequent generations. Psychological factors and neurobiology affect self-esteem or body shaming and affect the balance of neurotransmitters in the brain, respectively. The treatment interventions aim to restore neurotransmitter levels and confidence after losing confidence and self-body hate due to bad shape. Genetics, neurobiological factors and psychological status are responsible for the development of eating disorders. Bulimia nervosa, binge eating disorder and purging behaviors result from unregulated 5-HT depletion, can be inherited or can result from body shaming. The evidence shows that eating disorders can be treated based on the aetiologies and pathophysiology. Keywords: Eating disorders, treatment, neurobiological factors, genetics, binge eating disorder, bulimia nervosa.

Published: July 2024

Objective: Postpartum depression (PPD) and maternal attachment are two important concepts of the postpartum period, which significantly affect maternal well-being and mother-child relationship. In this study, we aimed to investigate the relationship between PPD and maternal attachment in primiparous women. Methods: Our descriptive, cross-sectional and correlational design study was conducted between January-June 2023. The study was completed with 352 participants who volunteered to participate in the study, gave birth in the relevant clinic, had no communication problems, and had no diagnosed psychiatric illness. Data were collected face-to-face by the researchers using the Descriptive Information Form, Maternal Attachment Scale (MAS) and Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS). Data were analyzed in SPSS-22 program. Results: The mean age of the primiparous mothers included in the study was 23.82±2.60 years and the mean duration of marriage was 2.01±0.77 years. The mean score of the MAS was 81.92±10.99 and the mean score of the EPDS was 11.3±4.39. There was a significant negative correlation between MAS score and EPDS score. Conclusion: In our study, it was found that the MAS score was higher and the EPDS scale score was lower in mothers with a university degree or higher, mothers who received adequate support from their husbands after birth, working mothers, mothers whose husbands had a regular job and mothers who breastfed their babies. The results are expected to guide intervention and early intervention programs related to PPD and maternal attachment.

A resistência antimicrobiana (RAM) é considerada uma das emergências mundiais com maior relevância clínica. Os Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável (ODS) contextualizam a RAM como uma questão social e de saúde pública global que repercute negativamente para o seu alcance devido a sua influência sobre os cuidados à saúde dos seres humanos e dos animais. O objetivo deste artigo é discutir as estratégias de redução da RAM e as interfaces entre a RAM e os ODS, previstos na Agenda 2030. Como metodologia, elencou-se a revisão sistemática da literatura, sendo utilizadas as bases de dados Pubmed, Scopus e Web of Science para a sistematização de evidências científicas. A síntese narrativa foi organizada em dois eixos: 1) Fatores que contribuem para a resistência antimicrobiana; 2) Potencial das estratégias para alcançar os ODS. Os resultados apontam à incipiência de estudos sobre a relação entre a RAM e os ODS. Ressalta-se, portanto, que é de suma importância o conhecimento acerca dos mecanismos de resistência aos antimicrobianos (AMB), para que seja possível mitigar os efeitos da RAM e promover a Saúde e o Bem-Estar dos seres humanos.
