Diabetic Ketoacidosis and Diabetes Mellitus Caused by Trazodone: A Rare Case Report
Authors:   Intensive Care Unit, Department of Medicine, Guam Regional Medical City, USA, Liu Pei-Chang
Published: January 2025

We describe a 28-year-old male with a history of schizophrenia who developed diabetic ketoacidosis and diabetes mellitus within 3 months after starting
on trazodone to replace aripiprazole, and then the hyperglycemia and hemoglobin A1c level regained normal levels within 3 months after trazodone was
stopped. To our knowledge, this is the first ever report on trazodone causing hyperglycemia. We therefore suggest checking blood glucose level before and after
prescribing trazodone. Trazodone should be discontinued when hyperglycemia is detected, and alternative medication than trazodone should be considered
for patients with diabetic history

By definition, urbanization refers to the process by which rural areas become urbanized as a result of economic development and industrialization.
Demographically, the term urbanization denotes the redistribution of populations from rural to urban settlements over time. However, it is important to
acknowledge that the criteria for defining what is urban may vary from country to country, which cautions us against a strict comparison of urbanization
cross-nationally. The fundamental difference between urban and rural is that urban populations live in larger, denser, and more heterogeneous cities as
opposed to small, more sparse and less differentiated rural places.

William Blake’s Universe, Fitzwilliam Museum, 23 February–19 May 2024; William Blake’s Universe, ed. David Bindman and Esther Chadwick
Authors: Calè Luisa
Published: January 2025

William Blake’s Universe at the Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge was structured as a three-colored path through a blue-coded classical past, a fiery present, and a radiant-yellow future. The vision for the exhibition had been gestating for years as a way of rethinking Blake as a European artist by positioning him in dialogue with German art through a collaboration with the Hamburger Kunsthalle. This partnership revived an earlier collaboration with the Kunsthalle’s former director Werner Hofmann, curator of Kunst um 1800, a series of exhibitions including Blake (1975) and John Flaxman (1979), both curated by David Bindman. The 2024 exhibition stemmed, partly, from a reaction to the Brexit referendum in 2016, with Bindman joining forces with Esther Chadwick when she was working at the British Museum. Hamburg was the central point of reference not just because of this museum partnership and its curatorial tradition, but also because of the seminal role that the port city had as a nodal point for European Romanticism, and for the reception of Blake in Germany in particular.

This study evaluates a newly developed harvesting basket used in manual pineapple harvesting work in Malaysia, specifically focusing on its impact on physiological workload, body part discomfort, perception of harvesters and risk level of musculoskeletal disorders (MSD). An experimental study was conducted among pineapple harvesters in Muar, Johor. Data from 25 harvesters were collected using questionnaires, including the Borg CR-10 Scale, to assess body part discomfort using traditional rattan and newly developed harvesting baskets. The physiological workload was measured to record heart rates and calculate the workload. The risk level of awkward posture during harvesting tasks was assessed using the Rapid Entire Body Assessment (REBA) tool for both baskets. Descriptive analysis was used to analyze respondents’ perceptions, while statistical tests determined performance differences between the two baskets. The results revealed that workers experienced a significant reduction in physiological workload between the use of rattan (6.6 ± 0.9 kJ-min) and prototype baskets (5.0 ± 1.1 kJ-min). Harvesters experienced reduced discomfort when using new harvesting baskets. The postural analysis indicated a decrease in the risk level of awkward posture from high (rattan) to medium (prototype) when harvesting. Most harvesters perceived that the new harvesting basket fulfilled their needs. In conclusion, the newly developed harvesting basket demonstrated the potential to improve work posture, discomfort and physiological workload of pineapple harvesters, thereby reducing the potential of obtaining MSD disease. Adopting ergonomically designed work tools aligns with the MyGAP policy and supports improving workers’ health in pineapple harvesting operations.
The Smallest Computational Complexity for the Linear Complementarity Problem with P-Matrix
Authors:   Hosei University, Japan, LI LEI
Published: January 2025

The linear complementarity problem LCP(A, q) which consists of finding an real vector z such that
Az+q>=0, z>=0, and z^T(Az+q)=0, where A and q are given real matrix and real vector respectively. When A is a P-matrix, LCP(A, q) is a NP-complete problem. Some traditional direct methods for solving the above problem need O(2^n n^2) or O(2^n n^3) number of arithmetic operations at least. This paper proposes a recursive algorithm for solving the LCP(A,q) with A is a P-matrix. The maximum computational complexity for proposed algorithm is not more than 0(2^n) which is the possible smallest computational complexity. And the average computational complexity for proposed algorithm is not more than O((3/2)^n). The proposed algorithm has simple structure and can be implemented easily.

Published: January 2025

The angle of repose (AoR) is a critical calibration parameter in characterizing soil mechanical properties. This study examines the AoR across seven levels of soil moisture content. The fixed funnel method was used to measure AoR, complemented by a newly developed image-processing algorithm for AoR calculation. This algorithm effectively captures the irregular and rugged edges due to moisture-induced soil aggregation. The results indicated a consistent, monotonic increase in AoR with increasing moisture content. A model incorporating soil cohesion and internal friction angle was established to explain the observed AoR trends. Results suggest that changes in AoR are primarily driven by soil cohesion, with a relatively smaller influence from internal friction angle especially in moist conditions.
Why Do Association Studies?
Authors: Abacan, MD, MSc, MHPEd Mary Ann R.
Published: January 2025

Genetic epidemiology was first described by Neel and Schull in 1954, but it was defined by Morton, Chung and Mi (1967) as a “science that deals with etiology, distribution and control of disease in groups of relatives and with inherited causes of disease in populations.” It focuses on the genetic determinants of disease and the joint effects of genes and nongenetic determinants. One of the main objectives of genetic epidemiology research is to identify genetic variants in disease susceptibility genes that may be responsible for the variable risk among individuals.
Through the years, advances in science and development of new methodologies have facilitated for a greater appreciation of genetic epidemiology. The advent of whole genome sequencing and whole exome sequencing has allowed researchers to explore the full spectrum of genetic variation.
Barbujani et al., found that genetic variation remains high even within small groups and at least four fifths of human genetic variation reflect individual differences. Gene polymorphisms are the most common type of genetic variation in humans and are important contributors to interindividual variation and can result in both distinct phenotypes and genotypes.
Studies that deal with variants are important in ensuring that populations are well represented especially in genome wide association studies (GWAS). This information contributes to the body of knowledge that is out there. Based on the GWAS catalog, 80% of current participants as being of European ancestry even though they only represent 16% of the whole populations, which suggests that the data available is skewed towards a particular race. Thus, it is essential that other populations be included, and researchers play an active role to ensure diversity in research study populations.
Studies can have the potential to make contributions to our understanding of polymorphisms and disease risks, and to educate scientists, physicians, public health professionals, and policy makers.
In our country, there is more work to be done in terms of doing further research on association studies and variants. We have brilliant scientists and many conditions that have not been the subject of these types of research. It is only a matter of time before our population becomes well-represented in the genomic world.

Authors: Alrefaee Yasser M. H. , Mudkanna Anita
Published: January 2025

This study investigated the comprehension of presuppositions among Yemeni EFL university students, examining their ability to understand different types of presuppositions and identifying the most challenging areas. The research employed a quantitative approach, utilizing a multiple-choice test administered to 261 participants from six Yemeni universities (three public and three private). Eight distinct types of presuppositions were tested: quantifier, emotive factive, iterative verb, cognitive factive, iterative adverb, temporal clause, counterfactual conditional, and possessive presuppositions. The findings revealed a moderate overall comprehension rate of 68.9%, with significant variations across presupposition types. Analysis of demographic variables showed that age was more influential than gender in presupposition comprehension, with younger learners (25-30 age group) performing better. Institutional differences were also observed, though the variation between public and private universities was minimal. The study's findings suggest the need for explicit instruction in presupposition comprehension, particularly focusing on more challenging types like cognitive factives and quantifiers. The results contribute to understanding pragmatic competence development in the Yemeni EFL context and have implications for curriculum design and teaching methodology in similar EFL environments.

Published: January 2025

Hypericum perforatum L. is widely known for its therapeutic properties, including wound healing, antispasmodic effects, and anxiety treatment. This study was examined the total phenolic and flavonoid content, antioxidant capacity, and anticholinesterase activity of aqueous, ethanolic, and water-ethanol extracts from the plant's aerial parts and also green chemistry and sustainability were also investigated. Extraction was performed under reflux at 60°C. The anticholinesterase effect of Hyperium perforatum L., which is known to be used in the treatment of neurological diseases such as coxalgia, paralysis, spastic paralysis, menopausal neurosis, spinal convulsion etc., was investigated in vitro [1]. Three different extracts were prepared as 100% ethanol, 50% ethanol-50% water and 100% water. The antioxidant activity of the prepared extracts was examined using Folin-Ciocalteu in terms of total phenolic-flavanoid content and then the anticholinesterase activity was investigated by Ellman method [2]. LC-HR-MS identified Rhamnocitrin as the most abundant compound in the water-ethanol extract, while Quercitrin and Hederagenin were descent in the ethanol extract. The ethanol extract demonstrated the highest total flavonoid content and enzyme inhibition rates, especially for AChE (65%) and BChE (75%). In contrast, the water extract had the highest phenolic content but lower enzyme inhibition, especially for BChE (16%). Greenness metrics analysis demonstrated superior recyclability for the aqueous extract, earning it the highest score in sustainability. In general, the ethanol extract exhibited the most potent biological activity, while the aqueous extract excelled in green chemistry principles. These findings support the potential of H. perforatum extracts for further development in natural product research.

Online romance fraud is a form of cybercrime that exploits emotional manipulation to obtain financial gain or personal information. This phenomenon has become increasingly prevalent with the rise of internet usage in Indonesia. This study aims to evaluate Indonesia’s legal policies, such as the Electronic Information and Transactions Law (UU ITE) and the Criminal Code (KUHP), in addressing this issue, as well as to identify regulatory gaps and existing challenges. The findings are expected to provide recommendations for updating legal policies to be more adaptive to technological advancements, ensuring better protection for the public against online romance fraud. This research employs a qualitative approach, utilizing a normative juridical method that focuses on analyzing relevant laws and assessing their applicability in cases of online romance fraud. Secondary data from various legal literatures, case reports, and national surveys are used to evaluate the effectiveness of current regulations. The study finds that Indonesia’s legal policies on online romance fraud still have limitations, as the UU ITE and Article 378 of the KUHP do not specifically regulate crimes based on emotional manipulation in online relationships. Regulatory updates are needed to include clearer definitions, stricter sanctions, and effective reporting mechanisms, supported by digital literacy initiatives and international cooperation. Collaboration with digital platforms to enhance AI-based security measures and strengthen law enforcement capacity is crucial in creating a safer digital space.

This study aimed to determine whether there is a difference in the mastery of simple present and past tense, especially in the writing aspect, between the tenth-grade students learning using the EGRA technique and the Lecturing technique at MA Ushuluddin Singkawang. This study employed a quantitative method with a quasi-experimental design. The study population is 150 students, and the sampling technique is cluster random sampling. We selected the participants from two classes of tenth-grade students from MA Ushuluddin Singkawang academic year 2023/2024, dividing them into the control and experimental groups. This study employs a test that consists of a pretest and a posttest. In this research, the data analysis technique was MANOVA (Multivariate Analysis of Variances). In the findings, the researcher indicated that each test showed a significant result. Finally, the researcher employed MANOVA to address the hypothesis testing. The researcher discovered a significance level of 0.00, less than 0.05, in the results, leading to the acceptance of Ha1, Ha2, and Ha3, and the rejection of H01, H02, and H03. The conclusion is that there is a difference in the mastery of simple present tense and simple past tense, whether one by one or simultaneously, especially in the writing aspect, between the tenth-grade students who are learning using the EGRA Technique and the Lecturing technique at Ma Ushuluddin Singkawang.
