Authors: Jando Franca Shiminenge , Gemade Comfort Kamimi , Solomon Orhiiga Won
Published: July 2024

The paper is a comparative study of Redeemed Christian Church of God and Cherubim and Seraphim Movement as African indigenous movements. The work adopts a qualitative research design and relied on secondary method using comparative approach. It was found in the study that these indigenous Christian movements have their vision shaped by their founders. However, there are certain features that are common among them as well as notable differences. Both practiced Pentecostal theology and the place of Scriptures is central to both of them. While the Redeemed Christian Church of God is said to have more social, political and economic impact on the people and the society Cherubim and Seraphim Movement gives more attention to the issue of spiritual liberation and deliverance from the forces of darkness. The Redeem Christian Church of God follows more strictly, the teaching of the Bible while Cherubim and Seraphim Society is syncretic. The paper recommends that there is a need for a comparative study of the teachings and practices of these indigenous movements. And there is a need for these movements to develop a clear theology and doctrines that define them.
¿Es necesario un acto de ser? La raíz del tomismo en cuestión
Authors: Serra Pérez Manuel Alejandro
Published: July 2024

En las últimas décadas, algunos de los enfoques que han tomado en consideración la doctrina del acto de ser tomista (actus essendi) han llegado a conclusiones a veces drásticas sobre la originalidad de la que es la enseñanza más importante de Tomás de Aquino. En efecto, su filosofía del ser se basa en la relación acto-potencia entre forma y ser, así como en la distinción real de esencia y ser, derivada de ella. En este estudio queremos afrontar un doble reto: el de justificar por qué es necesario un acto de ser en la metafísica tomista, y el de mostrar por qué esta actualidad (esse) no se identifica con la existencia o el ser de la cosa, como ha pretendido la escuela tomista durante su trayectoria.

Granular adsorbent-based Fe2O3/TiO2 was fabricated via the drum granulation method with bentonite as the binder. The granulation process consists of three steps: mixing Fe2O3/TiO2 composite powder; fine coal dust into a homogeneous mixture; granulating by spraying water mist; drying granules and calcining at 500 oC for 1 hour to create pores. The granules used to remove As(V) from aqueous media were investigated using a fixed-bed adsorption column. The effects of inlet As(V) concentration, flow rate, and bed height on the breakthrough characteristics of the adsorption system were determined. The adsorption data were fitted to three well-established fix-bed adsorption models, namely, the Adam-Bohart, Thomas, and Yoon-Nelson models, with a correlation coefficient, R2 > 0.96.

Published: July 2024

Biochar was synthesized from banana peels using the pyrolysis method in a nitrogen gas environment. The pyrolysis temperature ranged from 100°C to 500°C with a heating rate of 5°C per minute and a pyrolysis time of 1.5 hours. The influence of the pyrolysis temperature on the acid-base properties of the biochar surface was evaluated through characteristic SEM and BET measurements. Boehm titration showed a gradual decrease in the total acid functional groups and an increase in the total base functional groups with the increasing pyrolysis temperature. Methylene Blue (MB) was used as a model substance to investigate the adsorption properties of the synthesized biochar. The Langmuir and Freundlich models were employed to describe the adsorption equilibrium. The kinetics of MB adsorption followed a pseudo-second-order kinetic equation. The adsorption capacity of MB by biological charcoal was influenced by the acid-base properties of the material, indicating the impact of the pyrolysis temperature.
Spiders from Mars. (Re)-configuring musicians’ stories through their songs
Authors: Sala Michele ,   Università degli studi di Bergamo
Published: July 2024

The present article investigates the idea of movement in terms of re-generation, re-writing and re-semiotization, where movement is not to be intended only as the one from one code to another, but from one dimension to another (from experiential to textual), from one position to another (from surface to core, from general to particular, and vice versa), from one discursive perspective to another (from extended to brief, from detailed to synthetic, from articulated to simple, and vice versa). More specifically, this analysis focusses on Popular Music artists’ biographies and autobiographies, where the artist’s life experience is morphed into a textual artefact, a story, and, notably, the focus will be on the type of titles that writers choose for these stories. Being musicians known for their musical output – simply put, their songs – the present investigations seeks to see how biographers and autobiographers resort to song references in order to provide impactful and coherent handles for their stories, that is to say, titles that will, firstly, help identify the artist in connection to a recognizable part of their production, secondly, that may embody and condense the sense of such stories in catchy one-liners and, thirdly, that will anticipate and cohere with the contents to be found in the ensuing texts.
Sweeping Emblematics
Authors: Borgogni Daniele ,   Università degli studi di Torino
Published: July 2024

The article valorizes Renaissance emblematics as an inherently tensional form, steeped in interchange and transition. Movement was not only a thematized topic in emblematic compositions, it was their basic textual strategy to activate meanings and foster interpretation, explore the possibilities and scopes of new forms of communication, and pave the way for a participatory readership. Emblematics was in fact conceived as a brand-new and transdisciplinary textual mode, a mongrel form whose complex interplay of signs favored multiplied discursive models thanks to the constant relay between visual and verbal elements, forcibly made to cohabit the same representational space. Unsurprisingly, these innovative features were soon co-opted and channeled into manipulative practices functional to interpellating and “re-creating” readers, thereby contributing to transform this luxuriant form into a static site of coherence and symbolical expression. The article, on the contrary, reassesses the importance of emblematics as a multifaceted construct which requires a similarly multifaceted theoretical perspective approaching it as a wide-ranging cultural construct, a textual space which ushered in an idea of communication as projective and dislocating, which deployed idiosyncratic meaning procedures and set new hermeneutic parameters, which triggered an incessant mobility in the reading experience, which was teeming with cognitive potentials and ideological bearings.
Comparing oranges and oranges: working towards diverse, equitable and inclusive knowledge creation in an international Global South organization
Authors: Ngugi Stanley , Schomerus Mareike
Published: July 2024

This Groundwork seeks to offer reflections to help each person working for Busara understand how the organization thinks about DEI in theory and practice; it also offers insights on how each of us can work towards a more diverse, more equitable, and more inclusive organization. This process requires applying to ourselves the honesty that we champion, but often also struggle to maintain when we look at ourselves. It means to admit challenges freely, address them without judgement, check whether our beliefs are unclear, acknowledge emotions—and then start again. DEI is circular, non-ending work without clear key performance indicators, but with an emphasis on a process that can expand our beliefs and practice while cushioning or maturing our emotions.

Published: July 2024

Introduction: Heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) remains a significant clinical challenge despite advances in therapy. Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors have emerged as promising adjuncts in HFrEF management, with evidence from clinical trials suggesting improved outcomes. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of SGLT2 inhibitors in HFrEF.
Methodology: A prospective, single-center observational study was conducted at Hayatabad Medical Complex, Peshawar, from June 2023 to March 2024. Forty-eight patients with HFrEF were enrolled, and baseline demographic, clinical, and laboratory data were collected. Patients received standard therapy alongside SGLT2 inhibitors. Follow-up assessments were performed over 10 months to evaluate changes in left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), symptoms, functional capacity, and adverse events.
Results: Following SGLT2 inhibitor therapy, a significant increase in LVEF (mean increase of 5.2 percentage points) was observed, accompanied by reductions in heart failure symptoms and improvements in functional capacity. Heart failure hospitalization rates decreased by 50%, with a favorable safety profile observed.
Conclusion: This study demonstrates the effectiveness and safety of SGLT2 inhibitors in managing HFrEF. The findings support their integration into clinical practice guidelines and emphasize the need for personalized, multidisciplinary approaches to optimize outcomes in HFrEF patients.

Authors: Farman Jaweria , Khan Yasar Umar , Abbas Muhammad , Shah Afnan Ali , Khattak Sarbaz Islam , Rehman Asif Ur
Published: July 2024

Introduction: Food is one modifiable risk factor for colorectal cancer (CRC), a disease that is a significant cause of cancer-related mortality as well as morbidity worldwide. In a case-control research carried out at the Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences (PIMS), Islamabad, this study examines food habits and CRC risk.
Methodology: Eighty-four people—42 CRC patients and 42 controls—participated in a case-control research. Dietary consumption was quantified using a validated food frequency questionnaire (FFQ). Using logistic regression analysis, relationships between eating habits and CRC risk were identified after accounting for pertinent variables.
Results: There were notable variations in the food habits of the patients and controls. Compared to controls (2.8 and 1.9 servings/week, respectively; p < 0.001), CRC patients reported consuming more red meat (5.3 servings/week) and processed meat (4.1 servings/week). On the other hand, CRC patients ate fewer whole grains ‘(1.4 servings/day vs. 2.1 servings/day; p < 0.001), fruits (1.6 servings/day vs. 2.3 servings/day; p = 0.002), vegetables (2.0 servings/day vs. 3.4 servings/day; p < 0.001), and fiber (18.2 g/day vs. 25.6 g/day; p < 0.001)’.
Conclusion: The risk of CRC is greatly influenced by dietary choices. Consuming more red and processed meat raises the risk of CRC; however, consuming more fiber, fruit, vegetables, and whole grains protects against the disease. Encouraging better eating practices may reduce the occurrence of CRC and enhance general health.

Estimation, control and forecast of COVID-19 disease spread in Central Visayas, Philippines
Authors: Corcino Roberto , Elnar Allan Roy , Maglasang Gibson , Casas Karl Patrick
Published: July 2024

The current trend of infections from COVID-19 outbreak in Central Visayas (CV) is posing higher risk of continued spreading. When uncontrolled, swarming of infected individuals to hospitals puts a greater challenge to the health care systems in the region and may breakdown. It is imperative in this situation that data-driven decisions and policies are required the most. In response, this study provided estimates of the epidemiologically important parameters namely, reproduction metric (R0) and infection (α), recovery (β) and mortality (γ) rates, by using a modified Susceptible Infected-Recovered-Dead (SIRD) model. This modified model incorporated control parameters, 𝜎 and 𝜔, associated with enhanced community quarantine (ECQ) implementation and observance of social distancing (SD), respectively. For the covered months from 27 March 2020–10 May 2020, results of the simulation estimated these parameters at: R0=3.12, α=0.18, β= 0.029, and γ=0.029 with 90% confidence. Moreover, the reproduction metric can be effectively reduced with the combined effect of the control parameters at 𝜎, 𝜔 ≥ 0.5 resulting to an effective R0 below unity. Similarly, this lowered the peak value of infection to 23% (or 7% of the total number of susceptible population) compared to when these measures are not observed and moved the peak time farther as well. While these estimates reflected the timely implementation of ECQ keeping its current level comparable with the country’s estimates and the world, reducing the reproduction metric effectively requires strict observance to both ECQ and SD control measures. Lastly, the temporal dynamics of this metric may not be necessarily true in any given area, and hence geographically induced.

Up-scaling Social Innovations: The Eku and Implications for Enhancing Small-scale Palm Oil Production in Nigeria
Authors: Adejuwon Olawale ,   African Institute for Science Policy and Innovation, Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, Oladele Waheed , Oguntunde Tomilola
Published: July 2024

The dearth of adoption of processing technologies by small-scale palm oil processors in Nigeria has resulted in poor quality of output and low extraction rates. This paper proposes that improved versions of the Eku, a community-based social innovation which enables the sharing of palm oil processing facilities can be up-scaled and diffused in the sector to improve the technological base of small-scale palm oil production in Nigeria. A framework, which emphasises removing constraints to the practicality and efficiency of social innovations with institutional and funding measures to create a prototype that will be up-scaled and diffused, is developed. The study reveals that only one of five unit operations of small-scale palm oil production is totally mechanised in the Eku and constraints affecting full mechanisation of all unit operations in the Eku include lack of awareness and funds to adopt processing technologies. The chapter recommends equipping prototype Ekus with innovations for all the un-mechanised stages of palm oil production and suggests its up-scaling and diffusion in the sector through small-scale entrepreneurs. The study concludes that the diffusion of the prototype versions of the Eku can enhance the diffusion of technological innovations in the sector.

Treatment Success with the Ponseti Technique in Congenital Talipes Equino Varusup to two Years of Age.
Authors: Asghar Khan  , Israr Ul Haq  , Dilawar Khan  , Bahadar Ali Khan  , Sajid Akhtar
Published: July 2024

Background: Congenital talipes equinovarus (CTEV) is a severe foot birth disorder that may make walking difficult and painful and limit mobility. Seventy-five per cent of clubfoot infants are born in low- and middle-income countries. Clubfoot has long been treated. As orthopaedists gravitated toward surgery to treat clubfoot in neonates, non-operative treatment became less popular.
Objective: The study examined how the Ponseti technique works, how bad the deformity is (as measured by the Pirani score), and how much it costs to treat congenital talipes equino Varus in babies under the age of two. The Ponseti Clinic treated 490 individuals with 456 CTEV-infected foot cases.
 Study design: A prospective study
Place of duration of study: department of orthopedic Saidu Teaching Hospital swat  between 05 Jan 2017 and 05 jan 2021
Material And Methods: this prospective clinical study was conducted in Swat's Saidu Teaching Hospital between 2017 and 2021. 456 patients were selected using the inclusion and exclusion criteria department of orthopaedic saidu teaching hospital swat concluded this study. The youngsters were 3.20 months old on average, and they needed 6.80 casts to improve. At the final follow-up, 90.20 per cent of patients (score > 24) had positive functional outcomes. The Ponseti method for clubfoot treatment may prove most beneficial regarding both functionality and aesthetics. This approach still remains a safe, simple and costeffective way to deal with clubfoot in places such as Pakistan.
 Results: our finding  ninety percent of patients had a positive prognosis after starting treatment at 3 months of age, which took about seven casts altogether correct their feet.The research has suggested that the Ponseti method is both cheap and effective treatment for congenital talipes equinovarus in babies under 2 years .

Published: July 2024

Background: This trial tested surgery therapy for numerous glioblastomas. A multi-centre study enlisted 32 multiple GBM cases. The outcomes were overall survival, progression-free survival, time to return, and quality of life. Biopsy, debulking, and excision were performed. Overall survival was 13.5 months, and progression-free survival was 8.5 months. Postoperative quality of life improved considerably. Multiple glioblastomas can be treated safely and effectively with surgery.
Objective: This study aims to evaluate the outcomes of glioblastoma patients' surgical resections.
Study design: A Retrospective observational study.
Place and duration of study: department of Neurosurgery, LRH Peshawar from Between 05-January 2015 and 05-January 2018
Methods: the research was carried out at MTI LRH Peshawar Hospital. To find 30 patients with progressing GB, records for everyone who had a glioblastoma biopsy or had it removed between January 2015 and January 2018 were identified and evaluated retrospectively. The median survival and 90% CI were derived by the Kaplan-Meier method. The multivariate analysis was conducted for age, Karnofsky score, amount of resection, tumour size, and tumour multifocality of survival following the advancement of the disease using the Cox Proportional Risks model.
Results: Patients with advanced illnesses underwent the first known resection. Patients who had not yet had resections had median survival after progression of 10.6 months for them and 4.0 months for them. In multivariable analysis, surgical intervention and KPS 0.70 (HR 0.411) were associated with improved survival after GBM progression. The median overall survival was 13.5 months, with a 90% CI of 8.2 to 18.8 months. The median progression-free survival was 8.5 months, with a 90% CI of 5.3 to 11.7 months. Quality of life scores improved significantly postoperatively.
Conclusions: Operative intervention for progressing Glioblastoma effectively treats the symptoms in the current maximum non-operative treatment, but the survival of the patients is restricted. More research is needed to determine ifsurgical surgery can lengthen post-progressive endurance in people with progressive GB.

I feel honored and fortunate for being chosen as the president PAUS during thetime when our Pakistan Journal of Urology was to be born. It has been for anumber of years now that I have seen few faces struggling to nurture this conceptof having our own journal of Urology. One such Hercules is none other but ourProf. Dr. Liaqat Ali. He is truly the person who made this possible and blessed uswith this identity which will be a testimony to our dedication. This journal willportray the newer techniques and will be an answer to the emerging queries inUrology. Clinical without academics are like flowers with no fragrance. This was acore demand to have a journal which endorses only Urology. But there is no endto wisdom thereby, this Journal will welcome a diverse number of physicians andsurgeons and will help them when they are keen to dive in a multidisciplinaryapproach to manage their patients. A man who wants to climb a ladder does focuson the destination above but can’t climb with hands in his pockets. We all do aimhigh but their are few who achieve those aims by flying high. I dedicate this firstvolume to those people who surely can be labelled as the pioneers of PakistanJournal of Urology.Copyright 2023 - All rights reserved by Pakistan Journal of UrologyPublisher: Institute of Kidney Diseases and Pakistan Association of Urological

Published: July 2024

Nanotehnoloģiju joma, jo īpaši nanošķiedru izpēte un izmantošana, piedāvā nepārspējamas inovāciju iespējas dažādās jomās. Promocijas darba autors iedziļinājies sarežģītajā poliakrilnitrila (PAN) nanošķiedru pasaulē, pievēršot uzmanību to izgatavošanai, mehāniskajām un termiskajām īpašībām un potenciālajiem lietojumiem. Darba mērķis ir novērst būtiskas nepilnības esošajās zināšanās par nanošķiedru tehnoloģiju, izmantojot izsmeļošu literatūras pārskatu un rūpīgus eksperimentālus pētījumus. Promocijas darbā izpētīta eksperimentāla PAN nanošķiedru paklāju izgatavošana, izmantojot dažādas elektrovērpšanas metodes, un formulēts apstiprināts galīgo elementu modelis, lai precīzi prognozētu to mehānisko uzvedību. Plaši pētīta strukturālās orientācijas, atkarsēšanas un PVA dopinga ietekme uz nanošķiedru paklāju mehāniskajām un termiskajām īpašībām. Jaunā iegremdēšanas metode ar PVA dopingu ievērojami palielina nanošķiedru paklāju elastības moduli un stiepes izturību. Turklāt tekstilmateriālu nanošķiedru tieša elektrovērpšana demonstrē, ka ir iespējams radīt ar PAN nanošķiedrām integrētus nesaspringstošus tekstilkompozītus, kas paredzēti dažādiem lietojumiem.
