The study of the influence varied concentrations of ligand and annealing of chemically bath deposited PbS thin film has been carried out the influence of ligand on the optical, solid state, morphological and Electrical properties of the deposited thin films has been investigated. The absorbance, transmittance from the UV-VIS spectrophotometer and other parameters such as absorption coefficient, reflectance, energy band gap, optical conductivity indicate that there is a effect of ligand variation on the properties and the absorption coefficient of the films was found to increase as the concentration of ligand as they annealed to the same temperature and in all case they decreases towards longer wavelength region and the energy band gap was observed to increase from 1.61 to 3.71 eV as the concentration of ligand increases. The surface morphology of the SEM micrographs result shows that the deposited thin films are of polycrystalline and the particle grains are evenly distributed across the substrate’s surface indicates that the grain sizes of the films are dependent on the molar concentration of ligand increases while the XRD showed where the preferential plane with highest diffraction intensity is located.
Exploring Equity in Examinations of Secondary Education in Kenya
Authors: Ogawa Miku
Published: July 2024

The Sustainable Development Goals have long underscored the significance of equity as a value-laden concept. This study explores the concept of equity through an examination of secondary school leaving examinations in Kenya. The analysis incorporates examination data from 2018 to 2022 across three subjects: History and Government, Christian Religious Education (CRE), and Business Studies. The analysis specifically investigates the treatment of various topics related to equity, revealing a substantial emphasis on issues of economic disparity in comparison with themes such as ethnicity, gender, and race. Notably, the analysis within the realm of CRE illuminates distinctions in moral perspectives between the West and Kenya, with Kenya’s highly capitalistic economy not necessarily aligning with a strong endorsement of liberal competition in examinations. Despite its capitalist orientation, Kenya’s approach to welfare in exams transcends the mere alleviation of those below a certain threshold; it delves into the fundamental issue of difference itself. This chapter contends that Kenya’s conceptualization of equity diverges from Western definitions, positing its unique notions of justice and fairness, with a predominant focus on fostering social equality through social welfare and mutual assistance.
Perspective Chapter: The Fallacy of Colorblind Constitutionalism as Evidenced through the Prison Industrial Complex and School-to-Prison Pipeline in the United States
Authors: Mercier Edad
Published: July 2024

The American prison industrial complex and school-to-prison pipeline expose the fallacy of colorblind constitutionalism. Colorblind constitutionalists, including originalists and textualists, suppose that in a meritocratic society, race and ethnicity should not factor into legislative and judicial decision making—and that courts should promote an impartial application of legal rules. Nevertheless, racial discrimination and its quantifiable effects on housing, jobs, carceral status, health, and education in the United States, show the fallacy of attempts to pass or interpret colorblind laws in a mythical merit-based society.

This chapter is a collection of selected abstracts presented at the 10th Asian-Australasian Conference on Precision Agriculture, held from October 24th to 26th in Putrajaya, Malaysia. It aims to emphasize the transformative potential of technology in precision agriculture and smart farming. The featured studies highlight the transformative impact of technology and current improvements in agriculture, offering modern solutions including machine learning, robotics, remote sensing, and geographic information systems (GIS). From autonomous navigation for mobile robots to stress classification in crop production systems, and from phenotypic analysis with LiDAR technology to real-time sensor monitoring in greenhouse agriculture, the majority of abstracts underline the integration of digital tools in different fields of farming with the core objective of reshaping conventional farming techniques and eliminating dependency on manual works. Key examples include the development of a distributed sensing system (DSS) used for orchard robots, stress classification for tomato seedlings through image-based color features and machine learning, and the integration of remote sensing and AI in crop protection. Other solutions, such as automated spraying robots for cherry tomato greenhouses, active back exoskeletons for rice farm lifting tasks, and advancements in seedling transplanting techniques, have shown promising results for contributing to sustainable farming practices by providing accurate and timely information for decision-making amid climate change-induced uncertainties.
Revisiting Multifunctional Nanomedicines for Cancer Therapy
Authors: Gupta Swati , Afrin Farhat
Published: July 2024

Cancer is one of the primary causes of human deaths worldwide. Most cancer patients receive chemotherapy and radiotherapy, but these therapeutic regimens are usually only partially efficacious and give rise to serious side effects. Therefore, it is necessary to develop new therapeutic strategies to optimize the pattern of cancer treatment. The emergence of nanotechnology has had a profound impact on evolving tumor treatment modalities, facilitated by the development of nanodrug delivery systems that are highly tumor selective and allow for slow release of active anticancer drugs. Vehicles such as liposomes, dendrimers and polymer nanomaterials have been considered as promising carriers for tumor-specific drug delivery, reducing toxicity, and improving biocompatibility. To address the challenges in cancer therapeutics such as poor targeting of first-line chemotherapeutic drugs, easy destruction of nucleic acid drugs, and common immune-related adverse events in immunotherapy, we discuss how nanocarriers can be synergized with these treatment modalities. The future impact of nanomedicine-assisted cancer immunotherapies is also outlined.
Knowing One’s Own Motivating Reasons
Authors: Eslami Seyyed Mohsen ,   Romanian Academy - Iasi Branch
Published: July 2024

Reasons are not the same. Normative reasons need to be distinguished from non-normative reasons. Then, due to some considerations, we have to draw a distinction between explanatory reasons and motivating reasons. In this paper, I focus on a rather implicit assumption in drawing the explanatory-motivating distinction. Motivating reasons are mostly characterized as those reasons that the agent takes to be normative. This may imply that the agent always knows the reasons their motivating reasons. This I call the infallibility or transparency assumption. This suggests that there is some sort of report condition on motivating reasons. In contrast, one may ask whether it is possible for the agent to be mistaken about what their motivating reasons are. I argue that we can distinguish motivating reasons and satisfy the motivations for the explanatory-motivating distinction without committing to this infallibility assumption. I briefly sketch a character-based approach to motivating reasons as an alternative. Next, I argue that, in addition to being important on its own, this account has implications for other debates. I illustrate this by mentioning cases such as recalcitrant actions as well as critically discussing one kind of counter-example presented against the guise of the good thesis.
Why Be Virtuous? Towards a Healthy Epistemic Social Environment
Authors: Jarczewski Dominik ,   Romanian Academy - Iasi Branch
Published: July 2024

The paper argues that, although the role of responsibilist epistemic virtues is unclear in the framework of traditional knowledge-centred individualist and idealised epistemology, it can be properly understood if one considers other epistemic goods and activities, adopts insights from social epistemology, and acknowledges the non-ideality of our epistemic world. It proposes to explain the value of epistemic virtues in terms of their contribution to a healthy epistemic social environment. Specifically, it is argued that responsibilist virtues are essential (1) for respecting listeners who commit to testimonial justice; (2) for distinguished epistemic agents in their roles of teachers, guides, and exemplars; and (3) both to create and properly recognise these roles and epistemic positions within social networks. In that way, responsibilist virtue epistemology finds its place among the newly emerging topics of social epistemology.
William Worcestre and the legendary history of Armorica in the fifteenth century
Authors: Falileyev Alexander
Published: July 2024

The late fifteenth-century Itineraries of William Worcestre pre- serve a brief account of the legendary history of Brittany. Although the fragment goes back ultimately to Geoffrey of Monmouth’s His- toria regum Britanniae, it differs from that in several respects. The exact match to the narrative is found in another fifteenth-century document, the so-called Canterbury Roll (previously known as the ‘Maude Roll’). The paper shows that this particular variant of the history of the conquest of Armorica was in some circulation in late medieval England, and provides some suggestions regarding the interrelation of the texts containing it.
Internet of Things-driven Predictive Analytics for Heart Disease Detection
Authors: Kagi Shivakumar , Dakupati Ravisankar , K.G.S.Venkatesan  , Pavuluri Rama Krishna
Published: July 2024

The prevalence of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) continues to be major public health concern worldwide, necessitating innovative approaches for early detection and management. This study proposes an Internet of Things (IoT) architecture augmented with machine learning algorithms for the prediction of cardiovascular disease risk. A comprehensive dataset is created for analysis using wearable sensors and devices connected to the Internet of Things (IoT). These devices collect physiological data in real-time, such as heart rate, blood pressure, and activity levels. Several machine learning models, including logistic regression, decision trees, and support vector machines, are trained on this dataset to predict the likelihood of cardiac disease happening. Several metrics are utilized to evaluate the efficacy of these models, including specificity, accuracy, precision, and area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC-ROC). The results demonstrate that the methodology based on the Internet of Things (IoT) for predictive modeling effectively identifies persons at risk of developing heart disease. This paves the way for early intervention and tailored healthcare management approaches.
Epilepsy and Cognition in GM2-Gangliosidosis B1 Variant – Experience of a Tertiary Hospital
Authors: Anjos Mariana M. , Ferreira Sara , Diogo Luísa , Almeida Joana , Pereira Cristina
Published: July 2024

Introduction: GM2 gangliosidosis B1 variant (GM2B1) is an autosomal recessive disorder due to deficiency of β-hexosaminidase A, leading to the lysosomal storage of GM2 gangliosides in neuronal tissue and neuronal death. Symptoms include progressive motor coordination impairment and neurodegeneration, in children with previously normal development, leading to early death. Objective: Clinical characterization of patients with GM2B1 with a focus on epileptic manifestations. Methods: A descriptive retrospective study was conducted, analyzing clinical records of patients diagnosed with GM2B1 and followed at our Hospital Neuropediatric Department in the decade 2013-2022. Results: Four patients (three female) from three families diagnosed with GM2B1 were identified. The median age at diagnosis was 70 months. The most frequent symptoms at presentation were developmental regression (all children), language impairment (three), and epileptic seizures (two). Enzymatic deficiency in leukocytes and pathogenic variants in the HEXA gene were demonstrated in all cases. The pathogenic variant c.533G>A(p.R178H) in exon 5 was present in seven of the eight alleles. All patients experienced language impairment (Md=42 mos) with complete language loss (Md=78 mos). Loss of walking ability occurred in three patients (Md=96 mos). All patients experienced epileptic seizures during the course of the disease, with a median onset of seizures at 55 months. Initial seizures were classified as atypical absences (two), tonic seizures (one) and myoclonic seizures (one). Electroencephalographic evaluation revealed slow basal rhythm and focal paroxysmal activity in all cases. All were treated with antiseizure medication, two requiring a combination of three drugs. Conclusion: GM2B1 encompasses a wide clinical spectrum, with heterogenous age of symptom onset, clinical presentation and disease progression. Epilepsy is a common comorbidity in GM2B1, with variable seizure type and severity, and may be difficult to control. Timely diagnosis, coupled with multidisciplinary clinical follow-up, is crucial to improve quality of life of patients and enable genetic counseling.
Big Data-Enabled Repurposing of Clopidogrel for Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis Using Network Biology
Authors: Perco Paul , Gebeshuber Christoph A. , Ley Matthias , Daniel-Fischer Lisa , Aufricht Christoph , Kratochwill Klaus
Published: July 2024

Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) is a rare kidney disease characterized by glomerular lesions and damage to podocytes, terminally differentiated renal cells, that are part of the filtration apparatus in glomeruli. FSGS is often associated with nephrotic syndrome and may lead to end-stage renal failure. FSGS pathophysiology is complex with a number of molecular mechanisms being involved in its development and progression. We used a network-based drug repositioning approach to computationally screen for novel treatment options for FSGS in a systematic way. In brief, we first generated a network-based molecular pathobiology model for FSGS following previously established workflows. FSGS-associated molecular features (i.e., genes and proteins) were mapped onto a human protein–protein dependency network, and network clustering algorithms were used to identify dysregulated FSGS molecular mechanisms and biological processes. Key affected enriched mechanisms included glomerular filtration, cell adhesion and extracellular matrix derangements, inflammation, apoptosis, calcineurin signaling, renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system, and platelet activation as well as dysregulation of fibrinolysis. The network-based FSGS pathobiology model was subsequently used to computationally screen against a library of drug mechanism of action molecular models. The platelet inhibitor clopidogrel was identified as one of the top compounds significantly interfering with FSGS pathophysiology based on in silico graph alignment analysis. Due to its potential to beneficially interfere with key dysregulated molecular FSGS processes, its positive in vivo data in ameliorating renal sclerosis, and its favorable safety profile, clopidogrel appears as an attractive candidate for subsequent evaluation in clinical trials.
Philanthropy’s Role in Catalyzing New Uses for Approved Treatments
Authors: Goodman Barbara , Thibodeaux Clare
Published: July 2024

Foundations, nonprofits, non-governmental organizations, and other philanthropic organizations are frequently involved in supporting drug development. Cures Within Reach, a US-based nonprofit leader of testing already approved therapies for new indications in unsolved diseases, has been providing seed funds for first-in-human clinical trials for over 15 years. Philanthropy plays a critical role in risk mitigation of investigator-initiated trials, funding proof-of-concept, pivotal clinical trials as well as later-stage trials. Efforts such as these are complementary to the pharmaceutical industry’s portfolio life cycle management and complementary to governments’ funding of translational medicine initiatives. Results from smaller, earlier trials provide the data needed for industry, government agencies, and others to fund the larger confirmatory trials. Together, these data build evidence for publication, allow clinicians to make their own decisions with their patients (off-label use), or support regulatory approval by the regulatory agencies. In addition, these efforts are not a question of commercial opportunity via intellectual property versus charity, as these are not mutually exclusive—and often are not yet clearly known at earlier clinical trial stages.

Published: July 2024

Aims: This study aimed to evaluate the intraoperative pain (IOP) occurrence in situations of symptomatic irreversible pulpitis (SIP) and symptomatic apical periodontitis (SAP).Materials and Methods: Patients who sought emergency care presenting a diagnosis of SIP or SAP were included. IOP was measured with a Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) after five minutes of local anesthesia, during access to the pulp chamber, root canal exploration and at the end of procedures. In cases where pain was reported during treatment, supplementary anesthesia was performed. Pain scores were recorded and analyzed using a generalized estimating equation model with posthoc comparisons. Results: 56 patients were included. 35 had a diagnosis of SIP; and 21 a diagnosis of SAP. Mean preoperative pain scores for SAP and SIP were 6.69 (±1.54) and 6.39 (±1.48), respectively (p>0.05). In patients with SIP, significant differences were observed between: preoperative scores and other time points; scores after five minutes of local anesthesia and other time points; scores during pulp chamber access and at the end of procedures; and scores during root canal exploration and at the end of procedures (p<0.05). In patients with SAP, significant differences were observed between preoperative pain scores with all other time points (p<0.05). Chi-square test indicated an association between diagnosis and the need for supplementary anesthesia (p<0.05).
Conclusions: In conclusion, there is a strong relationship between reduction of moderate/severe pain after application of local anesthesia. The need for supplemental anesthesia is significantly associated to the diagnosis of symptomatic irreversible pulpitis.

Aims: to assess changes in the time range of heart rate variability (HRV) and plasma corticosterone concentration in rats after simulating septoplasty. Materials and methods: a septoplasty was simulated in 30 mature male Wistar rats weighing 210-290 g. An ECG was recorded with subsequent analysis of the time domain of HRV, as well as blood sampling for changes in the concentration of corticosterone in the blood plasma. Results: SDNN significantly increased in comparison with the control on days 2 and 3 (p <0.001), but decreased on days 4-5 (p <0.001) and 6 days (p <0.01 ). rMSSD changed in waves with two irregular peaks on days 1 and 6. SDNN / rMSSD, in comparison with the 1st day of the postoperative period, increased on the 2nd day and continued to grow (p <0.05), and on the 4th day it began to decrease (p <0.01). The total power of HRV was low throughout the postoperative period (p <0.001), except for the 3rd day, when it was equal to the control data. The increase in the total power indicator fell on the 3rd day after the operation (p <0.01), after which its decline occurred again. The concentration of corticosterone in the blood plasma in rats was significantly higher than before (p <0.001). From the 2nd to the 4th postoperative day, its plateau was determined. Conclusion: Simulation of septoplasty leads to changes in the time range of HRV, an increase in the concentration of corticosterone in the blood plasma in rats with its maximum at the time of surgery and after 24 hours, the formation of a "plateau" from the 2nd to the 4th postoperative days, which coincides with changes of HRV.

Balance Method Veterinary Acupuncture
Authors: López Alicia , Alfaro Antonio A
Published: July 2024

Balance Method is a special acupuncture modality derived from I-Ching acupuncture that dates back thousands of years and is the oldest teachings of Yin and Yang. This method of acupuncture uses distal acupoints (Five Shu-transporting/Command Points) on the 12 Channels. By applying a strategic selection process using these acupuncture points, the focus is placed on where the pain or disharmony is located and the Channel coursing through the affected area. The Channel pathology is then corrected by selection of distal points on a Channel that balances it and corrects the disharmony. The approaches to acupoint selection described in this paper include: 1) “Six Systems” approach and 2) I-Ching Ba Gua based on Yin and Yang configurations forming hexagrams. Although scientific knowledge and clinical experience using this ancient system of Channel diagnosis in veterinary medicine is relatively limited, it has numerous benefits to offer the clinician through its minimal needle use, strong stimulation and rapid clinical effects.

Authors: Rusli Ganda Raharja , Fermay Anestia Hayubriandini
Published: July 2024

Technology has revolutionized finance, but seamless services increase fraud risks. As digital finance grows, anti-money laundering (AML) systems struggle with high transaction volumes. The main objective of this study is to verify whether open banking catalyzes the efficiency of transaction monitoring in AML. Another objective is to analyze the current agenda of regulators in Indonesia, which is related to the Indonesia Payment Systems Blueprint 2025 and customer data security. The Delphi technique pinpointed contemporary AML compliance technologies, encompassing money laundering, Regulatory Technology, and regulatory bodies. The article delves into a comparative analysis between Regulatory Technology and financial crime, which emphasizes several actions to eradicate money laundering, such as strengthening the AML system, customer screening, and allowing cross-data sharing between institutions. In addition, this paper explores RegTech's limitations and forthcoming hurdles regarding AML compliance. The finding shows that open banking catalyzes the efficiency of transaction monitoring in AML and supports the regulator's agenda to combat money laundering with some requirements.
