Authors: Gatmaitan Julius Garcia , Gatmaitan-Dumlao Jolene Kristine Garcia , Dayrit Johannes , Gabriel Ma Teresita
Published: July 2023

BACKGROUND

Most insect bite reactions resolve spontaneously, but the inflammation and pruritus induced have been shown to decrease the quality of life. Previous studies have shown the potential anti-inflammatory properties of Tinospora rumphii.

OBJECTIVE

The aim of the study is to assess the efficacy and safety of T rumphii 25% cream versus hydrocortisone 1% cream in the management of local cutaneous reactions caused by mosquito bites.

METHODS

This study was a parallel-group, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial with a 1-week duration in a span of 3 months (June 2019 to August 2019). Participants were exposed to sterile noninfectious mosquitoes (Aedes aegypti) for 5-10 minutes to elicit cutaneous lesions. Tinospora 25% cream or hydrocortisone 1% cream was applied twice daily throughout the 7-day study period. Of the 70 participants screened for this study, which was approved by an institutional review board (IRB 2019-07) at the Dermatology Outpatient Department of the Research Institute for Tropical Medicine, Alabang, Muntinlupa, Philippines, 58 participants in total met the inclusion criteria and were randomized to treatment (Tinospora: n=29) and active control (hydrocortisone: n=29) groups.

RESULTS

In total, 58 participants were randomized to receive Tinospora cream (n=29) or hydrocortisone cream (n=29). All participants completed the follow-up. There was a significant decrease in lesion size in both groups from the first 15 minutes to day 7 (P<.001). Comparing the lesion size in both groups, there was a statistically significant decrease in lesion size in the first hour (P=.003) and after 24 hours (P=.03). On day 1, 10% (n=29) of participants in the hydrocortisone group and 7% (n=29) in the Tinospora group experienced complete resolution. On day 3, all participants experienced complete resolution. No adverse effects were documented.

CONCLUSIONS

Tinospora 25% cream is safe, effective, and comparable to hydrocortisone 1% cream as an anti-inflammatory agent for mosquito bite reactions based on the decrease in lesion size, the proportion of participants with complete resolution of wheals, and improvement in pruritus intensity score using a visual analog scale. Long-term safety studies are recommended.

Authors: Sriharini  , Izudin Ahmad
Published: July 2023

Digitalization has had the greatest impact not only on the economic, social, cultural, and technological sectors, but also on the education sector. The higher level of Islamic education can be a part of its generalization. Otherwise, this article aims to explore the challenges of the period in the Revolution 5.0 era and its implications for Islamic higher education, particularly at the UIN Sunan Kalijaga. Is a lecturer still required if students were a part of the industrial revolution while the educational system was rapidly expanding? Furthermore, how is the lecturer going to prepare for the challenge? The phenomenology approach was used in this study. Based on the observation and the interview, data is analyzed to form an interpretation. According to the findings of the research, UIN Sunan Kalijaga has prepared to face the challenges of the Society 5.0 era, but the institution has not. Moreover, the institution hasn’t yet come out of the digital era; there is still much that needs to be done. For example, the systems of e-budgeting, e-public service, and e-governance haven't been formed. The conditions were constrained by a data system that requires substantial funds. The problems' recommendations are to establish an integration system for document capture and information management, to expand the knowledge foundation based on research and development, and to expand adaptive by human resources.

Authors: Arel Barbara , Tomas Michael J. , Stark Larry
Published: July 2023

An organization can lose up to 5 percent of its revenue to fraud (ACFE 2020) making the ability to effectively prevent and detect accounting fraud essential to many stakeholders. Auditors typically use the fraud triangle framework consisting of pressure, opportunity and rationalization to understand fraud risks factors. The fraud diamond extends the fraud triangle to include an additional risk factor, capability (Wolfe and Hermanson 2004). This study uses an experimental task to analyze the effect of individual fraud diamond components of capability on the likelihood of committing fraud. The results show that capability components of ego, intelligence, and ability to cope with stress significantly influence the likelihood of committing fraud. Results also show including fraud diamond capability components improve the ability to predict the likelihood of fraud.

Authors: Ahmed Heba A.
Published: July 2023

Newly, the utilization of polypropene for packaging consumer products was populated significantly, which might make ecological problems. So, it is substantial to detect environmentally friendly techniques to recycle these waste substances without causing any environmental risks. One such technique could be the utilize poly wastes as stabilizer agents for soils. In the current investigation, textiled-poly bags (TPB) have been recycled and fabricated to be economy and environmentally-friendly fibers. The impact of utilizing different proportions and lengths of these fibers on the mechanical features of clayey soil has been evaluated. The investigation depended on four different fiber-proportions (1, 2, 3, &4)% of soil weight in two different lengths (1&2) cm. Geotechnical experimental test consequences demonstrated that the recycled fiber pieces minimize the optimum dry density (ODD) and the corresponding optimum water content (OWC) of the treated soil samples. Additionally, there was a notable increment in the uniaxial compression test results of the treated soil samples. Moreover, the consequences of California Bearing Ratio tests showed that the utilization of recycled TPB fibers in clayey soil samples enhances the resistance and deformation performance of the soils specially when utilizing 4% of recycled TPB fibers for both lengths (1 & 2) cm.

Authors:   Department of Translation, Cihan University-Erbil, Kurdistan Region, Iraq, Aminzadeh Sirvan
Published: July 2023

Over the centuries, translation has been regarded as communication across borders and nations. Emphasizing translation as cross-cultural communication, the present study depicts that translation makes communication possible between people of different languages and cultures in an urban area. It describes how Erbil, the capital city of the Kurdistan Region of Iraq, is a translation zone. In doing so, it exemplifies the prevalent translation practice inside the city and explains how translation lets the city`s inhabitants experience cultural differences. The study reveals that, due to Erbil`s multilingual context, translation between Kurdish, Arabic, and English is a key factor of communication through the city`s sensory landscape, translation spaces, cultural mediators, and digital connectivity. In sum, translation serves the city`s multiculturalism and exploits existing cultural resources for dealing with the current and future challenges in the city
Prevalence of Abbreviation and Acronyms in Kurdish for Medical Purposes
Authors:   English Department, College of Education, Charmo University, Kurdistan Region, Iraq, Saleh Kazi
Published: July 2023

One of the main characteristics of a medical language is its abundance of abbreviations and acronyms. They are usually used for the sake of brevity. While English medical language heavily relies on abbreviations and acronyms, their occurrence and use in medical Kurdish is not documented because the topic is under-researched. Therefore, this study is the first attempt to academically explore the presence and use of abbreviations and acronyms in medical Kurdish. To do so, it employs a corpus of different genres of untranslated medical texts in Kurdish written by medical practitioners. The corpus is qualitatively and quantitatively investigated in order to see if any patterns develop and whether any potential norm is operating in terms of using medical abbreviations and acronyms in Kurdish. The findings revealed that MEDICAL Kurdish does not have its abbreviations and acronyms. To fill that gap, medical practitioners follow three different norms in using abbreviations and acronyms in their writing; first, they borrow the English/Latin abbreviations and acronyms and use them along their expanded Kurdish equivalent; second, they transcribe the English/Latin abbreviations and acronyms; and third, they use the expanded Kurdish equivalents alone without their English/Latin contracted form. Each of these choices has their own explanation and reasoning in terms of language policy, expert-to-lay relationship and hegemony of English in the field of medicine. This study can further be expanded to investigate parallel and comparable corpora of untranslated as well as translated medical texts to see what other normative practices develop in terms of abbreviations and acronyms in Kurdish for Medical Purposes.
