Authors: Hermawan Intan Permatasari , Palestin Palestin
Published: December 2024

Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) and atrial fibrillation are severe cardiac conditions in small-breed dogs that are often linked to carnitine and taurine deficiencies. This case study assesses the effectiveness of carnitine supplementation and a cardiac-specific diet in a 4-year-old, 3.8 kg Pomeranian named Boxy, who presented with symptoms including appetite loss, vomiting, exercise intolerance, and dyspnea. Initial diagnosis revealed severe heart enlargement (VHS 16.2V), right auricular bulging, tracheal collapse, and atrial fibrillation. Treatment with Cardi-B, Capritazine syrup, and Royal Canin cardiac diet significantly improved after 30 days, with normalised blood pressure (103/59 mmHg) and a reduced VHS of 13.7V. Echocardiography revealed no tamponade. Boxy remains on daily Cardi-B and Royal Canin Cardiac for ongoing evaluation until the heart size and ECG readings normalise

Published: December 2024

Amid the economic crises triggered by the COVID-19 pandemic, sustainable financial systems have become essential for resilience and recovery, particularly in ASEAN countries where Islamic banks play a crucial role in economic stability. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the performances of the Islamic Bank in the ASEAN countries in terms of both efficiency and productivity. This study provides insights into 33 Islamic banks in Indonesia, Malaysia, Brunei Darussalam, Thailand, and the Philippines from 2015 to 2022. This study employs the Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) technique and the Malmquist Productivity Index (MPI) to simultaneously attain elevated levels of efficiency and productivity. The result shows that Maybank Islamic Berhad was considered the most efficient and productive Islamic Bank within ASEAN countries. In terms of significant elements, it was discovered that shifts in technology capabilities have a greater magnitude of effect on Islamic banking productivity in ASEAN than shifts in innovation strategies and operational efficiencies. The findings also show that Islamic banks in ASEAN region experienced a growth in banking performance during the research period. This implies that the Islamic banking sector demonstrated enhanced performance despite the adverse effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. This study suggests that all ASEAN Islamic banks must continue to enhance the quality of their technology in order to raise their efficiency and generate more productivity in the future.

Published: December 2024

Indonesia and Türkiye are countries with a large number of followers of Islam. These two countries have a lot of cooperation in various activities. This study aims to measure the integration between Islamic capital markets in Indonesia and Türkiye. For the Indonesian Islamic capital market index, the Indonesian Islamic Stock Index (ISSI) is used, while for Türkiye, the Borsa Katilim (KATLM) is used. Using the Generalised Autoregressive Conditional Heteroscedasticity (GARCH) method, it was found that during the observation year, although there was a lot of cooperation, the activities of these two countries were not integrated. This can provide ideas for further research related to why there is a lot of cooperation between countries but it does not result in integration.
Islamic FinTech and MSMEs: The Role of Religiosity and Product Knowledge
Authors: Majid Rifaldi
Published: December 2024

As the backbone of the national economy which is still struggling with the financing problem, prior studies on the intention to use Islamic FinTech for MSMEs are still rare. This study aims to examine whether both the religiosity (R) and product knowledge (PK) on Islamic FinTech products and services affect the intention to adopt it or not. A total of 100 responses were collected using an online questionnaire and then examined using structural equation modeling (SEM). The results show that subjective norm (SN), perceived usefulness (PU), as well as R, and PK significantly influence the intention to get financing and use the services offered. It is indicated that Indonesian MSMEs actors are getting aware and knowledgeable about sharia compliance of FinTech products. Likewise, the influence of social norms such as religious leaders and or the business environment also strengthens the intention. This means that there is a need for continuous efforts from the stakeholders by cooperating with sharia scholars in improving the Islamic financial literacy in order to eliminate the doubts on the practical side. This needs to be followed by strengthening consumer data protection as well as providing incentives in order to enlarge the industrial market share.

Avaliação das Necessidades Paliativas numa Unidade de Saúde Familiar
Authors: Gonçalves Ilda , Rocha Céu , Ferraz Gonçalves José
Published: December 2024

Introdução: A população portuguesa está em processo de envelhecimento, pelo que as necessidades paliativas deverão estar previsivelmente a aumentar. Uma das barreiras ao acesso atempado de cuidados paliativos é a dificuldade na identificação dos doentes que poderão beneficiar deles. Estes doentes estão sobretudo na comunidade. Assim, as equipas de cuidados de saúde primários estão na melhor posição para identificar doentes com potenciais necessidades paliativas.O nosso objetivo foi avaliar as necessidades paliativas numa Unidade de Saúde Familiar (USF) do Concelho de Matosinhos.Métodos: Estudo observacional transversal numa amostra de utentes com idade igual ou superior a 65 anos de uma USF do Concelho de Matosinhos, através da aplicação da escala de avaliação de necessidades paliativas – SPICT-PT™.Resultados: A amostra foi constituída por 349 utentes, 56,4% do sexo feminino e 43,6% do sexo masculino. A mediana de idades foi de 74 anos. O grupo patológico mais prevalente foi do aparelho circulatório, seguido do grupo de doenças endócrinas e as doenças oncológicas. Foram identificados 25 (7,2%) doentes com necessidades paliativas. Estes apresentam uma mediana de idade superior assim como um grau mais elevado de dependência. Este grupo apresenta um número maior de doenças do aparelho circulatório, do foro psicológico e do foro oncológico. Dos doentes com necessidades paliativas, 6 (24%) estavam referenciados à equipa de cuidados paliativos.Conclusão: A identificação de 7,2% de doentes com necessidades paliativas é semelhante à referida noutros estudos. O baixo número de referenciação de doentes com necessidades paliativas à equipa de cuidados paliativos pode dever-se a uma manifesta dificuldade dos médicos de família na identificação destes doentes ou ao facto de os doentes estarem sintomaticamente controlados e serem de baixa complexidade. A divulgação e aplicação da ferramenta SPICT-PT™ nos cuidados de saúde primários poderá ser uma mais-valia na melhoria da identificação destes doentes, conhecimento, prestação e planeamento de cuidados a vários níveis.
A Case of Lime-Induced Phytophotodermatitis
Authors: Sousa Joana , Nogueira Ana
Published: December 2024

Phytophotodermatitis is a phototoxic reaction caused by combined skin exposure to photosensitizing plants and ultraviolet radiation. Despite being rare, its incidence has increased. We describe a lime-induced phytophotodermatitis case.A 6-year-old girl presented with a 5-day history of brownish linear plaques on the skin. After careful history taking, it was found the child had been cooking a lime pie and got posterior sun exposure. Her brother had similar lesions. Both family members’ lesions healed after a month.Lime-induced phytophotodermatitis is still weakly recognized. Its bizarre configurations and the agents’ ubiquity can lead to misdiagnosis of child abuse. Exhaustive history and physical examination are crucial. It is required to raise awareness of this disease, so physicians can be prepared to identify it, to ensure the safety of the patients and to tranquilize the family.

A região do mangue na ilha de São Luís é vital para a população local, que utiliza o ambiente para moradia, pesca e extração de mariscos e moluscos, além de gerar renda através de bares e comércio. Os manguezais atuam como berçários para diversas espécies, incluindo caranguejos, e servindo como fonte de nutrientes e locais de reprodução. Dada a sua importância para a subsistência dos moradores, a qualidade da água se torna uma preocupação fundamental. Este trabalho tem como objetivoanalizar as propriedades físico-químicas e microbiológicas da água do manguezal no povoado de Mocajituba, em Paço do Lumiar. Coletas foram realizadas em quatro pontos distintos em diferentes períodos, abrangendo as estações chuvosa e seca. As análises físico-químicas, realizadas com um analisador Horiba, revelaram temperaturas que variaram de 20,46 °C a 30,4 °C, pH entre 5,62 e 7,29, salinidade de 3,5% a 12,5%, e níveis de nitrito (NO2?) entre 0,35 e 12,9 mg/L. A contagem de coliformes totais, obtida com o Kit Colitest®, apresentou valoresde 3,0 x 10^5 a 5,32 x 10^5 UFC/mL em todos os pontos de coleta. Estes resultados foram comparados com os limites estabelecidos pela Resolução CONAMA nº 375/05, indicando que a água analisada é imprópria para recreação e consumo humano, evidenciando preocupações com a contaminação microbiológica. Assim, os achados ressaltam a necessidade urgente de monitoramento contínuo e ações de conservação para preservar a qualidade ambiental dos manguezais e proteger a saúde da comunidade local.

O leite é um alimento essencial para a dieta humana, fornecendo nutrientes adicionais como proteínas, cálcio e vitaminas. Nos últimos anos, a preocupação com a qualidade do leite no Brasil em saúde pública quanto meio ambiente. Além disso, o processo produtivo do leite, desde a criação de gado até a industrialização e descarte das embalagens, exerce uma pressão significativa sobre o meio ambiente. O presente trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar a qualidade de leites UHT comercializados em São Luís, Maranhão um olhar na saúde público e ambiente. Nos meses de abril e maio foram adquiridas 21 amostras de leite UHT, dispostas em 7 marcas e 3 lotes cada. As amostras foram submetidas a análises físico-químicas de gordura, ESD, densidade, crioscopia e teor de proteína pelo método de ultrassom e análises microbiológicas para determinação do Número Mais Provável de Coliformes a 35ºC e a 45ºC e Contagem de Unidades Formadoras de Colônias de bactérias aeróbias mesófilas. Os resultados evidenciaram que para os padrões físico-químicos de forma geral, a maior parte dos resultados obtidos encontrou-se fora do padrão estipulado pelas legislações vigentes. Em relação às análises microbiológicas, apresentaram carga microbiana total elevada, já que 12 amostras que representa (57,2%) tiveram contagem de aeróbios mesófilos acima do padrão estabelecido pela RTIQ para leite UHT como padrão (102 UFC/mL), tendo como resultado de maior contagem entre 105 e 106 UFC/mL. No que se refere aos resultados da determinação do NMP de coliformes a 35ºC e coliformes a 45ºC nos leites analisados, foi observado uma percentagem de 4,8% desses microrganismos, ou seja, apenas uma amostra da marca “A” apresentou contaminação, com valores de NMP na faixa de 103 a 104. As alterações das propriedades físico-químicas e microbiológicas encontradas podem ser indicativas de problemas na qualidade do leite cru e/ou adulterações durante processamento do leite UHT. Tendo em vista os resultados obtidos nas análises, sugere-se investigar as razões pelas quais essas não conformidades ocorreram, ressaltando que melhorias devem ser adotadas para atender os padrões higiênico-sanitários desde a obtenção do leite in natura até a mesa do consumidor com o objetivo de garantir a qualidade nutricional, sensorial e sanitária adequados, assegurando assim um produto inócuo ao consumo humano.

Published: December 2024

O bacuri (Platonia insignis Mart.), típico da Amazônia Oriental, especialmente no Pará e Maranhão, possui grande potencial de aproveitamento, desde a polpa até as cascas e sementes, sendo uma alternativa promissora para geração de energia limpa. Este estudo avalia o potencial da biomassa do bacuri como fonte sustentável de energia. Foram realizadas análises da blend (endocarpo e epicarpo), incluindo análises imediata e elementar, microscopia eletrônica de varredura (MEV), espectroscopia de energia dispersiva (EDS), poderes caloríficos (superior, inferior e útil), densidades aparente e energética, além de termogravimetria (TG/DTG) e calorimetria exploratória diferencial (DSC). A análise imediata indicou teores de umidade (4,25%), matéria volátil (90,17%), carbono fixo (4,18%) e cinzas (1,38%). A análise elementar revelou 67,12% de carbono, 10,96% de hidrogênio e 20,18% de oxigênio. Embora o MEV não tenha mostrado grandes diferenças entre epicarpo e endocarpo, o EDS evidenciou a predominância de carbono (76,4%) e oxigênio (17,1%), indicando alto potencial energético. Os valores de PCS, PCI e PCU foram de 27,37; 25,29; e 23,12 MJ kg?¹, respectivamente. As densidades aparente (503,80 kg m?³) e energética (11,64 GJ m?³) reforçaram a adequação da biomassa para processos termoquímicos. A análise térmica indicou etapas de decomposição entre 120 e 800 °C, sugerindo um promissor potencial bioenergético para geração de energia renovável.

Authors: Dirisu IM , Okuonghae EM , Eguvbe A
Published: December 2024

Background: Haematological malignancies are clonal haemopoietic disorders characterised by the accumulation of malignant haemopoietic cells in various body tissues. They arise due to varied genetic damages to several key biochemical pathways in cellular differentiation, proliferation and maturation.
Objective: To determine the prevalence of haematological malignancies in Delta State, Nigeria. 
Methods: The study was a longitudinal study carried out at Delta State University Teaching Hospital, Oghara. Patients were recruited consecutively as diagnoses were made.
Results: Seventy-three patients diagnosed with haematological malignancies were involved in this study. Females were slightly more affected than males (50.7% vs 49.3%), and patients of 40 - 65 years were most affected (28.8%). Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma (16.4%) and Chronic Lymphocytic Leukaemia (16.4%) were the most common haematological malignancies. More female had CLL (91.7%), Myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) (57.1%), Acute Myeloid Leukaemia (AML) (100%) and Polycythaemia vera (PV) (100%).
Conclusion: Haematological malignancies are common and on the rise in the centre of study and generally in Nigeria, with a notable change in the spectrum of the diseases.
The "Aesthetics of Reality" in Abbas’s Films
Authors: Siyuan Chang
Published: December 2024

The French film theorist André Bazin introduced the concept of the "aesthetics of reality," which is reflected in a focus on direct realism, an emphasis on the authenticity of film segments, and the promotion of non-performative acting. The "aesthetics of reality" both summarized the creative approach of Italian Neorealism and influenced the subsequent development of the French New Wave, documentary cinema, and film production across different countries and regions. This theory opened new paths in both theoretical and practical realms. It also profoundly influenced Iranian director Abbas Kiarostami’s filmmaking. Abbas, through his unique poetic audiovisual language and philosophically rich narrative structure, offers a new interpretation of the concept of the "aesthetics of reality."

Authors: Yifan Xie
Published: December 2024

As a dialogue partner of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), China has engaged in economic and trade cooperation with ASEAN for over a decade. The process of trade liberalization and facilitation between China and ASEAN has significantly influenced logistics operations while also posing new demands. To meet the requirements of expanding trade, it is imperative to comprehensively elevate logistics capabilities. This paper undertakes a longitudinal and cross-sectional comparison of China's and ASEAN's logistics capabilities, focusing on three primary dimensions: logistics performance index, logistics infrastructure, and logistics service quality. It analyzes six specific indicators, including the quality of trade and transport-related infrastructure, transport frequency, customs efficiency and border management clearance, tracking and positioning capabilities, logistics service quality, and timeliness. The findings indicate that, in longitudinal terms, Singapore has emerged as a leading logistics power, China's logistics performance surpasses the average of the ten ASEAN member states, while the other nine ASEAN countries still have substantial room for improvement in their logistics capabilities. In cross-sectional terms, from 2016 to 2023, China's various logistics performance indicators have remained stable or seen only limited enhancements. To further elevate its logistics capabilities, China should adopt measures such as enhancing customs efficiency, promoting widespread adoption of logistics internet technologies to strengthen logistics intelligence, reducing logistics costs, expanding logistics infrastructure investments, and broadening avenues for cultivating specialized logistics talent.

Background: Bau-Bau City produces 80-100 tons of waste per day. The current waste problem has become a matter that requires special attention because waste that is left alone will have a negative impact on the environment. The above conditions are the basis for researchers to conduct research aimed at finding out the condition of waste in the household environment, the treatment of household waste, and waste sorting before disposal, as well as comparing the treatment of waste in the current research and previous research with the aim of finding out whether there has been a change in the treatment of household waste over the past 2 years
Objective: This study aims to determine the state of waste in the household environment, treatment of household waste, sorting of waste before disposal, and to compare the treatment of waste in current research and previous studies with the aim of knowing whether there has been a change in the treatment of household waste during this period two years running.
Methods: This type of research is a quantitative descriptive study with an observational approach. This research was conducted in all villages/kelurahan in Baubau City in 2021.
Results: it shows that there is still garbage scattered or piled up around the house environment, the presence of animals and disease vectors are also still found, causing a foul smell, and some are blocking the drainage. In general, there is an improvement in the treatment of household waste by the community in Baubau City compared to the previous year. Most of the people of Baubau City do not carry out the process of sorting waste by type.
Conclusion: The treatment of household waste by the community in Baubau City in general has improved for the better
Cancer remission and the allergy cascade
Authors: Michael John Dochniak
Published: December 2024

Cancer patients can achieve remission, during which all signs and symptoms of the cancer disappear. However, complete remission is often not permanent, and the disease may reappear. Interestingly, the allergy cascade may protect against cancer recurrence. Adjuvant immunotherapy that induces specific allergies after cancer remission—also known as forced atopy—may prevent the recurrence of life-threatening cancer.

Metallo-beta-lactamases producing bacteria are of public health concern, owning to the fact that bacteria that harbour genes for their production are notably resistant to several antibiotics. This study was carried out to genotypically investigate the prevalence of MBL-production in multidrug resistant K. pneumoniae isolated from urine samples of UTI patients attending a tertiary teaching hospital in Awka, Anambra State, Nigeria. Two hundred (200) mid-stream urine samples were collected from UTI patients, and were analyzed using standard microbiological procedures. Antibiotic susceptibility testing (AST) of the isolates was carried out using Kirby-Bauer disc diffusion method and combination disc test was employed to phenotypically screen the isolates for MBL production. The genotypic screening was performed by Polymerase chain reaction (PCR), using specific primers. Fifty-one (51) K. pneumoniae isolates were recovered from the urine samples. AST revealed that the isolates exhibited high resistance to Amoxicllin-clavulanic acid (100%), Ampiclox (98.04%), Imipenem (98.04%), Cefotaxime (96.08%), Cefuroxime (96.08%), Nitrofurantoin (70.59%), and were relatively susceptible to Ofloxacin (54.91%), Gentamycin (50.98%) and Levofloxacin (47.06%). A 79.02% of the K. pneumoniae isolates showed resistance to more than two classes of antibiotics, thus termed multidrug resistance strains. Of the 38 (41.76%) isolates of K. pneumoniae that were resistant to imipenem, 19 (20.88%) were confirmed as MBL-producers phenotypically, while 19 (20.88%) were non-MBL producers. Genotypically, blaVIM (21.98%) was the most detected MBL gene, followed by blaOXA-48 (18.68%) and blaIMP (15.38%). This study revealed the prevalence of multidrug resistant and MBLs producing K. pneumoniae in urine samples of the selected UTI patients.
The impact of climate change on the economies of developing countries
Authors: Omoniyi Emmanuel Francis  , Glory David Adebayo
Published: December 2024

This study investigates the impact of climate change on the economies of developing countries, focusing on its effects on Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and other economic indicators. Employing a Panel Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) regression model, specifically the Pooled Mean Group (PMG) estimation, the analysis reveals both long-run and short-run relationships between climate variables and economic growth. The results indicate that rising temperatures and carbon emissions negatively influence economic growth in the long term, with temperature exhibiting a coefficient of -0.031 (p = 0.000) and carbon emissions showing a coefficient of -0.003 (p = 0.001). Conversely, energy consumption and population growth are identified as significant positive drivers of economic development, highlighting their roles in enhancing economic performance. Interestingly, the study also finds that short-term increases in temperature can temporarily boost economic activity, with a coefficient of 0.109 (p = 0.000), while rainfall has a marginally positive impact. However, these short-term benefits do not mitigate the long-term adverse effects of climate change, underscoring the vulnerability of developing economies reliant on climate-sensitive sectors. The findings emphasize the necessity for targeted policies aimed at fostering resilience to climate change, enhancing energy infrastructure, and promoting sustainable development. By addressing these challenges, developing countries can better safeguard their economic prospects amid an increasingly volatile climate.

Authors: Chara Kottara  , Sofia Asonitou
Published: December 2024

Rapid technological and economic developments have brought about radical changes in accounting, through the development of new tools and solutions, which increase efficiency and improve accuracy within the practice. Artificial Intelligence (AI) has a prominent place in critical issues, especially regarding forecasts, as its algorithms are based on historical data to create rigorous analyzes and make rational financial decisions. The future of artificial intelligence in accounting involves advanced predictive analytics, through its deeper integration into strategic financial planning and the development of systems capable of handling more complex accounting tasks with minimal human intervention. This paper comes to illuminate critical issues in which there is a gap, as the literature is particularly limited in the field of accounting, focusing on how artificial intelligence affects accounting. The contribution of the study lies precisely in this aspect, in order to have a smooth transition in the accounting profession to the new normality. The findings showed that artificial intelligence particularly affects Financial, Managerial accounting and Auditing, while it can significantly improve the accuracy of financial reporting by reducing human errors in calculations in data entry, updating accounting records, preparing both financial statements, as well as audit reports. The need for compliance of the entire spectrum of accounting with the relevant accounting standards and regulations, within the framework of ethics and data protection, is identified.

Published: December 2024

Due to the low Reynolds number compressible regime of the Martian atmosphere, the airfoil utilized to design the blade is of significant importance. The current study aims at evaluating the 2D performance of NACA 5605, Camber 4603 and DEP 4535-01 airfoils and the hovering performance of the blades built with these three airfoils using numerical analysis. The result has revealed that the type of airfoil for the blade design depends on the pitch angle at which the Figure of Merit reaches its peak. Prior to that pitch angle, which is 8deg, DEP 4535-01 airfoil is beneficial otherwise NACA 5605 is desirable. At the pitch angle of 8deg, the Figure of Merit of DEP 4535-01, NACA 5605 and Camber 4603 blades are 0.73, 0.71 and 0.70 respectively. Finally, the structural analysis is conducted on DEP 4535-01 blade to ensure the thickness distribution. The maximum stress and deformation are 393.15MPa and 485.54mm respectively and the minimum factory of safety is 1.12, which indicates the need of internal structures for the blade.
