Published: November 2024

Objective – This study examines the correlation between demographic characteristics (age and gender), attitudes toward sexting, and peer pressure and sexting behavior among adolescents.Materials and Methods – The current study was conducted among 359 adolescents ages 15-17 in Bosnia and Herzegovina, with data collected again one year after baseline. Participants completed questionnaires on demographic data, sexting behavior, attitudes toward sexting, and peer pressure.Results – Descriptive analyses showed that although adolescents have negative attitudes toward sexting, they do participate in sexting, reporting more receiving (62.95 % –64.06 %) than sending (30.91 % – 32.31 %) and posting (8.91 % – 8.63 %) sexts. Regression analysis revealed that age, gender, attitudes toward sexting and the influence of peer pressure in the fields of risky behavior and parental relationships are significant predictors of various types of sexting. Attitudes toward sexting and peer pressure to engage in risky behavior were also a predictor of sexting behavior one year later. Conclusion – The findings highlight the importance of addressing attitudes toward sexting and peer pressure in future preventive interventions related to sexting.

Fingerprinting New Physics with Effective Field Theories
Authors:   , ter Hoeve Jongejan Jacobus
Published: November 2024

Given the absence of direct evidence for new resonances beyond the Standard Model (BSM) at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) so far, a complementary strategy to search for new physics in an indirect way is provided by the Standard Model Effective Field Theory (SMEFT). As the low-energy limit of a generic ultraviolet (UV) completion of the SM, the SMEFT provides a powerful theoretical framework to correlate deviations from the SM between different processes, offering experimental sensitivity to a plethora of SM extensions. This thesis presents a state-of-the-art SMEFT interpretation of the top, Higgs, diboson and electroweak sectors, taking into account data collected at the Large Electron-Positron Collider (LEP), the SLAC Large Detector (SLD) and the LHC. We also include the effect of the upcoming High-Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC) upgrade and demonstrate the unprecedented impact on the SMEFT parameter space of two proposed electron-positron colliders: the electron-positron Future Circular Collider (FCC-ee) and the Circular Electron Positron Collider (CEPC). We present constraints both in terms of Wilson coefficients, and couplings and masses of a wide range of UV-complete models through a newly developed automatised limit-setting procedure. We further present novel methodological advances through the development of unbinned multivariate likelihoods specialised to the SMEFT that provide maximal sensitivity to new physics using classification and regression techniques from Machine Learning. Our results provide an extensive characterisation of the SMEFT parameter space as probed both by current and future colliders, providing timely input to the upcoming European Strategy for Particle Physics Update.
Wounding or healing

Published: November 2024

Human trafficking remains a significant issue in Indonesia, with East Nusa Tenggara being one of the provinces in Eastern Indonesia, reporting a notably high incidence of human trafficking cases. This study applied a lived religion approach to analyse the role of religion in the experiences of suffering and coping mechanisms among human trafficking victims. Data collection took place on Timor Island in East Nusa Tenggara province, where narratives were gathered through in-depth interviews with 19 human trafficking victims. Data analysis employed grounded theory methodology consisting of coding, conceptual categorization, and thematic interpretation to formulate a theory. This study found that religion significantly influences the entire coping process, encompassing events, coping strategies, meaning-making, and post-traumatic growth. The findings indicate that religion plays an ambivalent role, offering both positive and negative influences at various stages of coping. This research advocates for transformative Christian education as a response to human trafficking. As a contribution to human trafficking studies, this research provides evidence that human trafficking in East Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia, exists and has profound impacts on victims, families, and communities. Understanding trauma and healing in the human trafficking context necessitates a comprehensive approach. For religious studies, this research emphasizes the importance of critically analysing religion’s role in the context of human trafficking.

Objective: The objective of this research was to present the antimicrobial potential of AgNP’s synthesised from Aristolochia bracteolata leaves extract. Methods: Evaluation of antimicrobial activity of the leaves extract was tested using agar well diffusion method along with the commercial control antibiotics (Ciprofloxacin) and the synthesised AgNPs were also tested against several microbial cultures (MTCC 10619, MTCC 0424, MTCC 872 & MTCC 1755). Further phytochemical analysis and characterisation of the synthesised nanoparticles was done to determine the shape and size of synthesised nanoparticles. Results: Prepared methanolic extract of Aristolochia bracteolata showed significant antibacterial activity against chosen microbial cultures (Bacillus subtilis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Fusarium oxysporum and Aspergillus niger) showing gradual increase in inhibition zone as the extract concentration increased from 20µl to 80µl. Bacillus subtilis among the bacterial strain and Aspergillus niger among the chosen fungal strain showed the maximum inhibition at 80 µl 12.7 ±1.729 mm and 15.7 ±1.729 mm respectively. But in case of AgNP’s Bacillus subtilis showed 14 ±1.132 mm at 80µl as compared to Pseudomonas aeruginosa 8 ±1.132 mm at 80µl. In case of fungal strains Aspergillus niger showed max. Inhibition 15.7 ±1.729 mm for methanolic extract of leaves and for AgNP’s solution the max. Inhibition was showed by Fusarium oxysporum 9 ±1.132 mm at 80µl. In phytochemical analysis the presence of tannin and phenol was noted whereas alkaloids were absent. SEM revealed the smooth and spherical structure of the nanoparticles. Conclusion: Aristolochia bracteolata-derived AgNP’s presented an effective approach for antimicrobial applications, demonstrating efficiency against a range of pathogens.

Published: November 2024

Backgrounds: This study focuses on identifying risk factors associated with mortality in patients with severe or critical COVID- 19 at the University Hospital of Antsiranana, Madagascar. Since the pandemic’s onset, African healthcare systems have faced significant challenges due to limited intensive care resources, contributing to higher mortality rates. Madagascar has reported a COVID-19 case fatality rate of around 2%. The aim of this study is to identify mortal- ity risk factors to improve patient management and reduce death rates in severely ill patients. Methods: This retrospective cohort study was conducted from March 2020 to March 2022, including hospitalized patients with confirmed or probable COVID-19 infection. Data on demographics, clinical symptoms, laboratory tests, and treatments were collected. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to identify risk factors associated with mortality. Results: Out of 124 patients, 25 (20.2%) died. The median age was 58.6 years, with 48.4% over the age of 60. The most common symptoms were cough (73.4%), dyspnea (70.2%), and fever (68.5%). Comorbidities were present in 65.32% of the patients, with hypertension (50%) and diabetes (29.8%) being the most frequent. Multivariate anal- ysis revealed that cardiac and respiratory deterioration, as well as shock, were strongly associated with increased mortality risk Conclusion: The findings confirm that comorbidities, particularly hypertension and diabetes, are significant risk factors for COVID-19 mortality. Respiratory decline, cardiac decompensation, and altered consciousness at admis- sion were also critical prognostic indicators. Hospital mortality rates were consistent with other studies in similar low-resource settings, though the actual rates may be underreported due to limited healthcare resources. This study highlights the importance of early management of comorbidities and respiratory and cardiac complications in severe COVID-19 patients to reduce mortality.

Published: November 2024

The competition among private universities in Indonesia is intensifying, requiring institutions to establish a sustainable competitive advantage through the right strategies, strong vision and mission, and effective use of information technology. This study analyzes the influence of strategy, vision and mission, university rankings, and information technology on the sustainable competitive advantage of private universities. It also examines the moderating role of information technology in strengthening these relationships. Using a quantitative approach with a descriptive and causal design, data were collected from 204 respondents across private universities in Indonesia via a questionnaire. Analysis using Partial Least Squares (PLS) and SmartPLS software reveals that strategy, vision and mission, university rankings, and information technology significantly impact sustainable competitive advantage. Furthermore, information technology strengthens the influence of strategy, vision, and mission but does not moderate the relationship between university rankings and competitive advantage. These findings indicate that while information technology supports strategic implementation and the achievement of institutional vision and mission, its direct role in enhancing university rankings is limited. The study emphasizes the importance of formulating innovative, sustainable strategies and integrating information technology effectively to maintain competitiveness. Practical implications include the necessity of resource planning and investment in technology to achieve strategic objectives. This study contributes to the literature by exploring the moderating role of information technology in private universities, providing valuable insights for managers on leveraging technology to navigate competitive challenges and sustain growth.

Authors: Lawal Yusuf Babatunde , Owolawi Pius Adewale , Tu Chunling , Wyk Etienne Van , Ojo Joseph Sunday
Published: November 2024

Surface refractivity is a crucial parameter that determines the bending of radio signals as they propagate within the troposphere. It is greatly influenced by the atmospheric weather conditions and changes rapidly, especially in the coastal areas. This research utilized 50 years (1974-2023) surface temperature, pressure, and humidity data from six coastal stations in South Africa to forecast radio refractivity in the Mediterranean climate. Five machine learning models: Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU), Light Gradient Boosting Machine (LightGBM), Long-Short Term Memory (LSTM), Prophet, and Random Forest were trained for future prediction of surface refractivity at any coastal area in South Africa. The stations latitude, longitude, altitude, surface refractivity and date were applied as the input parameters to train the models. The models were optimized through the randomized searchCV hyperparameter tuning to improve their efficiency. The LightGBM outperformed other models with RMSE and adjusted determination coefficients of 1.67 and 0.96, respectively. The model is recommended for future prediction of surface refractivity needed for the improvement of point-to-point wireless communication, terrestrial radio and television transmissions, and mobile communication networks in the coastal sub-tropical regions.
The hadiths that indicate the permissibility of concluding the verse with a choice, novel and knowledge
Authors: Alsalloom Ahmad Fares , Saouli Jamal Farhat
Published: November 2024

This research deals with the study of the hadiths mentioned in the Sunnah of the Prophet, which state that the reader may conclude the verse with whatever he wishes, even if it contradicts the Qur’an, for example, if the end of the verse is (Aziz Wise -) then the reader says instead (Aziz Rahim). The hadiths mentioned in this topic were graduated, and their chains of transmission were studied according to the rules of criticism in the sciences of hadith and their meanings were explained. The importance of the research lies in the fact that this issue is one of the tasks related to the narration of the Holy Qur’an, which some critics of the Holy Qur’an challenge.
The research reached several results, the most important of which are:
All the hadiths are weak and cannot be proven in the field of hadith criticism, however, they have possible correct meanings other than those that come to mind.

Authors: Lestari Sally Rizkita , Setyoningrum Retno Asih , Chafid Arda Pratama Putra , Hapsari Rika
Published: November 2024

Disseminated tuberculosis is a potentially fatal condition, and its identification is complicated due to its vague symptoms, together with the limited availability of testing options. Early detection is crucial for prompt diagnosis, as numerous reports indicate favorable responses to first-line anti-tuberculosis medications. Adolescence correlates with an elevated risk of developing tuberculosis, which is often infectious and can serve as a vector for transmission. This particular at-risk group frequently faces significant psychosocial obstacles and distinct issues regarding autonomy and treatment adherence. The case study focuses on an adolescent patient with disseminated tuberculosis complicated by bronchiectasis. It outlines the diagnostic process and treatment plan for a 17-year-old male who came to the pediatric department, primarily complaining of an unproductive cough lasting three weeks. The diagnosis was made based on clinical and radiologic findings. A considerable number of individuals may develop bronchiectasis as a complication of the illness, particularly in cases of pulmonary tuberculosis. These illnesses impose a substantial burden globally regarding morbidity, death, and financial impact on the affected populations. Both tuberculosis and bronchiectasis continue to be major public health concerns in developed and developing nations alike.

Authors: Patel Amita
Published: November 2024

The traditional medicine literature describes the potential role of plants as a source of many vitamins and a domestic remedy for many disorders like diabetes, cancer, arthritis and many others. There is a proportional increase in demand for herbal products both locally and internationally. Murraya koenigii (Rutaceae) is one of the two species of Murraya found in Peninsular Malaysia. The plant usually cultivated for its aromatic leaves is normally used for natural flavouring in curries and sauces. This plant is also distributed in India, Andaman Islands and throughout Central and Southeast Asia. The plant was spread to Malaysia, South Africa and Reunion Island by South Asian immigrants. Parts of the plant have been used as raw material for traditional medicine formulation in India. Murraya koenigii is used traditionally as antiemetic, antidiarrhoeal, febrifuge and blood purifier. The whole plant is considered to be a tonic and stomachic. The leaves are used extensively as a flavouring agent in curries and chutneys. Phytochemical screening of Murraya koenigii revealed the presence of some vitamins, alkaloids, terpenoids, phenolic compounds and mineral content such as calcium, iron, zinc and vanadium etc. in addition, carbazole alkaloid present in Murraya koenigii. The current review provides a detailed report of the pharmacological and pre-clinical works carried out on this culinary plant and also throws light on its therapeutic effective doses.
Informatierechten ‘revisited’

Information rights revisited: Further perspectives on codification of the right to information in the Netherlands Constitution

In 1998, Mark Bovens signalled in his Utrecht inaugural lecture that digitalisation poses a major challenge to the rule of law. Information has become volatile and intangible, the government has less and less control over it and citizens lack the information they need to properly participate in society. For that reason, Bovens argued that a new fundamental right to information would have to be added to the Netherlands Constitution.

Although the matter of access to information is no less relevant today, Bovens’ proposal to enshrine these rights in the Constitution was never acted upon. This article explores constitutional, conceptual and fundamental rights-theoretical explanations for this. It first sets out what the added legal-theoretical value is of enshrining fundamental rights in documents such as the Constitution. It illustrates this by revisiting a debate on a somewhat related right: the right of access to law. Finally, it is argued that even if a right to information itself may not be well-suited to codification, this might be different for a broader, more encompassing right to good administration. In the end, this would still serve the purposed defined by Bovens, which is to protect the rule of law in our turbulent digital society.

COMPARISON OF THE EFFECTIVENESS OF CONSERVATIVE AND SURGIRAL TREATMENT OF GENERALIZED PERIODONTITIS
Authors:   Samarkand State Medical University, Uzbekistan, Baxriddinovich Turayev Alimjan
Published: November 2024

In the complex treatment of generalized periodontitis, special attention is paid to the correct combination of conservative and surgical methods of treatment, which reduce the activity of destructive processes in periodontal tissues and restore the lost anatomy [1-9]. However, despite various additions and modifications, conservative and surgical interventions on the periodontal itself do not create sufficient conditions for effective relief of pathological processes and restoration of periodontal tissues [10-18]. In some cases, the use of new technologies, including the use of occupational hygiene, dental splints and other conservative methods of treatment, does not lead to the stabilization of destructive processes in the alveolar process, and in some cases contributes to the further destruction of periodontal tissues and surrounding bone tissue with the formation of defects of various sizes. The problem of dental preservation in patients with generalized periodontitis of II-III severity is still relevant. The organizational inconsistency of dentists of different specialties, the lack of a real medical examination of patients with periodontal disease create prerequisites for the interruption of treatment at the level of conservative therapeutic agents and the active course of destruction of bone tissue of alveolar processes.
Kashmir at the Crossroads: Analyzing Third-Party Mediation and the India-Pakistan Rivalry
Authors: Khan Zulfiqar Ali , Haq Rafi Ul , Malik Fazal , Shinwari Jawad Ur Rahman
Published: November 2024

This research paper investigates the enduring rivalry between India and Pakistan, with a specific focus on the Kashmir conflict and the critical role of third-party mediation in de-escalating tensions. The central question addressed is: How effective are third-party interventions in mitigating the Kashmir dispute and facilitating a sustainable resolution between India and Pakistan? Utilizing a qualitative methodology, the study analyzes historical instances of third-party mediation, including U.S. interventions during the Kargil crisis and the 2001–2002 military standoff, alongside other diplomatic efforts by international actors such as the World Bank and the USSR. It also examines bilateral negotiations and the limited role of the United Nations in addressing the Kashmir issue. The findings reveal that while third-party mediation has been successful in preventing immediate military confrontations, it often lacks the depth required to address the root causes of the conflict, such as deep-seated mistrust and the exclusion of Kashmiri voices from the dialogue. The paper argues that for long-term stability, major powers must transition from a crisis management approach to promoting sustainable peace through inclusive dialogue, confidence-building measures, and arms control agreements. Ultimately, addressing the underlying grievances and aspirations of the Kashmiri people is essential for a lasting resolution to the India-Pakistan rivalry.

Authors: Kurtulgan İnci Fatma , Şekkeli Zümrüt Hatice
Published: November 2024

6 Şubat 2023 tarihinde Türkiye’de "Asrın felaketi" olarak nitelenen Kahramanmaraş merkezli büyük bir deprem felaketi yaşanmıştır. 6 Şubat sabahı saat 04.17'de Kahramanmaraş Pazarcık merkezli 7,7 büyüklüğünde bir deprem ve bu depremden yaklaşık 9 saat sonra Elbistan merkezli 7,6 büyüklüğünde ikinci bir deprem yaşanmıştır. Yaşanan bu iki büyük deprem ve sonrasındaki artçıları 11 ilde birçok ilçe, kasaba ve köyde büyük yıkımlara, ölümlere ve acılara neden olmuştur. Dakikalar içinde birçok insan evini, yuvasını, sevdiklerini, işini, uzuvlarını, sahip olduğu her şeyini kaybetmiştir. İnsanların kontrolleri dışında gelişen, sonuçlarını öngöremedikleri bu büyük depremin yanı sıra zorlu kış şartları da hayatta kalan deprem mağdurlarını ruhsal olarak zorlu bir süreçle karşı karşıya bırakmıştır.
Bu çalışma kapsamında, deprem mağdurlarının içinde bulundukları durum, Maslow’un ihtiyaçlar hiyerarşisi bağlamında ele alınacak, deprem öncesi ve deprem sonrası bireyleri motive eden unsurlarda bir farklılığın oluşup oluşmadığı incelenecektir. Bireylerin yaşadıkları olayların onların motivasyonları üzerindeki etkileri tespit edilmek istenmiştir. Bu amaçla depremin ana merkezi olan Kahramanmaraş’ta depremi yaşamış katılımcılarla yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme formu aracılığıyla nitel bir çalışma gerçekleştirilmiştir. Bulgulara göre katılımcıların yaşadıkları depremi adeta küçük çaplı kıyamet sahnesine benzettikleri görülmüştür. Deprem öncesinde Maslow’un ihtiyaçlar hiyerarşisinde dördüncü ve beşinci basamakta yer alan ihtiyaçlarını karşılamaya yönelik motive olan katılımcıların deprem sonrası birinci ve ikinci basamakta yer alan fizyolojik ve güvenlik ihtiyaçlarını karşılama noktasına geri döndükleri tespit edilmiştir. Katılımcıların depremle birlikte hayata bakış açılarının değiştiği de gözlemlenmiştir.

Este estudio aborda la necesidad de la alfabetización digital en dichas áreas, dado que su ausencia impide una plena inclusión en una sociedad cada vez más digitalizada. Mediante una revisión sistemática de 20 documentos relevantes obtenidos de bases de datos como Google Académico y Redalyc, se identifican cinco áreas clave: la persistente brecha digital, la importancia del acompañamiento por tutores, el desarrollo de competencias digitales, la accesibilidad tecnológica y la alfabetización digital. Los resultados mostraron que la alfabetización digital es fundamental para el desarrollo integral de estas comunidades, ya que permite un uso adecuado de las tecnologías, facilita el acceso a la información y mejora las oportunidades laborales, contribuyendo a la inclusión social. En comparación con estudios anteriores, se observará que la brecha tecnológica en zonas rurales no solo restringe el acceso a recursos digitales, sino que acentúa la desigualdad frente a áreas urbanas, lo que subraya la urgencia de implementar programas educativos orientados a cerrar esta brecha.

A aterosclerose consiste no espessamento gradual das paredes dos vasos sanguíneos por acúmulo de ateromas, que resultam na diminuição do fluxo sanguíneo e pode ocasionar a isquemia de tecidos. A abordagem cirúrgica de revascularização pode ser realizada por meio de cirurgia vascular aberta/convencional (CVC) ou pela cirurgia endovascular (CEV), com diferentes índices de morbidade e mortalidade. Assim, torna-se importante avaliar os métodos, visando qual procedimento realizar.
