Authors: Gul Dr. Rais
Published: October 2024

This research study was conducted in District Malakand to find out the long-term effect of leisure activities limitation on the health satisfaction of road traffic crash victims. For this purpose, a sampling procedure (Multistage Stratified Random Sampling) was selected to choose a sample from the study university that represents the whole universe. Hence, 274 Road Traffic Injuries (RTI) victims were interviewed to obtain the study objectives from twelve Union Councils of District Malakand. For testing the association of leisure activities limitation and health satisfaction status at bivariate level the Chi-square and Kendall’s Tau-b statistical tests were applied however, the same was repeated at multivariate level by controlling the four background variables (age, gender, education and income). The study found that most respondents were from 21 to 30 years of age who were involved in Traffic Crashes (TC). Male (95%) were the dominant group of RTI victims. In terms of education, primary to high grade respondents were the highest group. The low-income group of the victims (33.2%) had the highest ratio of reported injury. The results at bivariate level further investigated that the health satisfaction status was significantly influenced by leisure activities limitation of RTI victims. Age, gender, education, and income levels explained the association between independent and dependent variables at multivariate level. The study suggests an immediate action on the enforcement of traffic laws and regulations equally in rural areas. An effective post-crash response is needed to support crash survivors and reintegrate into society by providing social, economic, recreational facilities as per their disability needs.

Authors: Bibi Fariha
Published: October 2024

The study titled “Investigating factors causing sectarian militancy and its association with rural women suffering” was carried out in tribal district Kurram erstwhile known as Kurram Agency of Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) of Pakistan. A proportionally determined sample size of 335 female respondents was randomly selected within the age group of 30 years and above. The collected data was quantitatively analyzed and presented with the help of frequencies and percentages. The study concluded that sectarian militancy has devastating effects on rural women in terms of getting educations, access to health care facilities and administrative domains, social capital and networking, and political freedom. The prevalence of long standing sectarian tendencies and subsequent violence in the area, also contributed towards women increasing economic dependency on men. The study further concluded that women focused social institutions were socially disintegrated in terms of its physical infrastructure and deliverance due to sectarian conflicts. Likely, it’s also resulted into weakened control of women over livelihood, while on the other hand; women opt for secular ideologies in migrated areas after their displacement from home towns. To overcome with women sufferings in war effected areas, strict regulations need to be implemented especially targeting women folks, introduction of consistent efforts to challenge the prevailing patriarchal social structure, creation of awareness among the local leaders about gender sensitivity and punishing anti-state actors like Taliban and Zainebiyoun etc., were forwarded some of the recommendations in light of the study results.
Empowering Communities through Akhuwat Foundation's Microfinance Initiative in Bhakkar, Punjab
Authors: Naqi Zahid Ali
Published: October 2024

Poverty is a global problem with several facets that affect millions of people worldwide. This study investigates the role of microfinance, mostly through the Akhuwat Foundation, in reducing poverty in the undeveloped district of Bhakkar, South Punjab, Pakistan. Akhuwat Foundation provides small loans to the needy to raise them out of poverty. This qualitative study takes an interpretive social science method, combining a meta-analysis of relevant literature with in-depth interviews of stakeholders using open-ended questions. According to the data, recipients primarily use these loans to start businesses, which leads to increased income and, as a result, poverty alleviation. However, limited resources limit the extent of lending, demanding increased loan-giving capacity to reach more people in need. Moreover, respondents require further training in business management or entrepreneurial capacities, which is not addressed by microfinance institutions such as Akhuwat Foundation before loan acceptance. Pre-loan training is required for optimum use of funds for business purposes, which limits microfinance's potential influence on poverty alleviation.

Published: October 2024

Ayurveda, an ancient Indian medical system, emphasizes the use of natural elements to treat diseases and promote a balanced, healthy life. Polyherbalism—the practice of combining multiple herbs—enhances therapeutic efficacy and reduces toxicity. In this study, three medicinal plants, Moringa oleifera, Withania somnifera, and Acorus calamus, were examined for their antimicrobial and antioxidant properties. Phytochemical screening of these plants identified active compounds like alkaloids, tannins, saponins, and flavonoids. Solvent extractions using methanol, chloroform, petroleum ether, and water were conducted, and antimicrobial activity was tested against Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Bacillus subtilis, B. cereus, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa using the disc diffusion method. Additionally, antioxidant properties were measured with the DPPH radical scavenging assay. This research highlights the potential of these plants to combat microbial infections and oxidative stress-related disorders.

Authors: Setiyawan Indra Budi , Gustav Qhadafi Muhammad Leonard , Hidayat Syafira Kamilatul , Rohman Abdul
Published: October 2024

This study examines the effects of compensation and work-related stress on employee retention, with job satisfaction acting as a mediating factor within Indonesia's guarantee company sector. A quantitative approach was used, involving 216 permanent employees from guarantee companies who had been employed for at least one year. Data was gathered through an online survey using a 5-point Likert scale, and analysis was conducted with SMART PLS. The findings reveal that compensation has a positive impact on job satisfaction, while work stress negatively affects it. Additionally, job satisfaction significantly boosts employee retention. Interestingly, the direct influence of compensation and work stress on employee retention was not statistically significant. However, job satisfaction strongly mediates the relationship between compensation and employee retention (suggesting a positive mediation) as well as the relationship between work stress and employee retention (indicating a negative mediation). These results provide valuable insights into the factors affecting employee retention in the guarantee industry and offer practical suggestions for organizations aiming to improve their retention strategies. This research uniquely integrates compensation, work stress, job satisfaction, and employee retention into one framework, particularly within the less-explored context of the guarantee sector

Exploring the Therapeutic Potential of Sphenocentrum jollyanum Root Extract in Malaria Treatment: Efficacy, Safety, and Future Directions
Authors:   Faculty of Pharmacy Kampala International University Uganda, David Bwanbale Geoffrey
Published: October 2024

Malaria remains a critical global health challenge, necessitating the exploration of novel therapeutic agents. This review examines the therapeutic potential of the ethanol root-extract of Sphenocentrum jollyanum, a plant traditionally used in West Africa for malaria treatment. Utilizing the Plasmodium berghei rodent model, which mirrors human malaria, we assess the extract’s efficacy in restoring haematological markers, safety profile, and potential as an adjunct or alternative therapy. Sphenocentrum jollyanum, known for its rich phytochemical composition, including alkaloids, flavonoids, saponins, tannins, and terpenoids, has demonstrated significant restorative effects in preliminary studies. The extract improved hemoglobin levels, red blood cell counts, and platelet counts in infected mice, indicating potential benefits in mitigating malaria-induced anemia and other haematological abnormalities. Its mechanisms of action include antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and immunomodulatory effects. Despite its promising results, rigorous safety evaluations are necessary, including acute and chronic toxicity studies, to ensure its safe use. Future research should focus on clinical trials to validate efficacy, optimize dosage, and explore combination therapies with standard antimalarial drugs. The review emphasizes the need for standardized preparation methods, quality control, and integration into public health strategies to enhance malaria management, particularly in resource-limited regions. Keywords: Sphenocentrum jollyanum Root Extract, Malaria, Treatment, Efficacy, Safety.

Authors:   Faculty of Science and Technology Kampala International University Uganda, Jumba K. Kato
Published: October 2024

Public health plays an important role in promoting health programs by addressing social determinants of health, preventing disease, and enhancing community well-being. Unlike clinical medicine, which focuses on individual treatment, public health targets population-level interventions to create environments that support health-promoting behaviors. Key strategies include education, media campaigns, advocacy, policy change, and community engagement. However, challenges such as financial constraints, public perception, and systemic barriers can hinder program effectiveness. This paper examines the importance of public health, strategies for promoting health programs, and case studies demonstrating success, ultimately reinforcing the significance of cross-sectoral collaboration in addressing global health challenges. Keywords: Public Health, Health Promotion, Disease Prevention, Social Determinants of Health, Health Education.

This article examines the legal consequences and assesses the economic impact of the differing tax treatment of investment funds in Portugal, Germany and Luxembourg before and after the Allianzgi-Fonds landmark decision, by the CJEU. Before the Allianzgi-Fonds decision the Portuguese investment taxation discriminated against foreign investments by levying a withholding tax on foreign compared to domestic investments. The Allianzgi-Fonds decision prohibited this discriminatory treatment. Therefore, our article examines whether the Portuguese CIT exemption extended to non-resident UCITS will lead to tax neutrality treatment of investment funds in the EU. Overall, we confirm that the abolishment of the discriminatory withholding tax can considerably reduce the effective tax levels for cross-border investments. Moreover, the abolishment also diminishes the domestic investment bias. Nonetheless, the results do not confirm the achievement of neutrality.
A vallásközi párbeszéd intézményes formái, mint a társadalmi megbékélés eszközei a Közel-Keleten és Észak-Afrikában*
Authors: Szuromi Szabolcs
Published: October 2024

A vallásközi párbeszéd egyre meghatározóbb szerepet kap a 21. században. Annak ellenére, hogy intézményes kezdetei a 12. századig nyúlnak vissza, mégis a társadalmi, kulturális, vallási és politikai kapcsolatok területén kifejtett hatása leginkább a 20-21. században érzékelhető. Sajátosan igaz ez az ún. „Ábrahám-vallások” viszonyára. A Közel-Keleten és Észak-Afrikában a 2010-es évektől zajló események különösen is hangsúlyossá teszik ezeknek a vallási síkon folytatott eszmecseréknek a jelentőségét.

Pores in cast, compacted or AM built material that shrink during HIP, can regrow if they are filled with argon and are subjected to high temperature. To better understand this, we present a study on a set of capsules that contain a huge 2 cm3 cavity. These cavities were filled with argon by sealing them under 1 atm of 100% argon. Using HIP (equipped with URQ) these cavities shrink to an approximate size of 0.006 cm3 resulting in a room temperature pressure of ~340 bars. Upon stepwise reheating the pressure increases, and for IN718 the cavity expands above 900 °C (pressure is here ~1400 bar), while for 316L the cavity expands above 1000 °C (pressure is here ~1450 bar). The temperature at which expansion occurs are not far from typical HIP conditions, which makes sense. The pressure inside a pore appears to be a good indicator for if expansion will occur.
The Effect of Steel Over Strength Ratio on Structure Behavior
Authors: Ahmad Luthfian , Kasmuri Mudiono
Published: October 2024

Seismic design of steel building structures according to SNI 7860:2020 determining the necessary strength of structural members based on the expected yield stress, Ry.Fy, and the expected tensile stress, Rt.Fu. However, the values of Ry and Rt in SNI 7860:2020 are not yet based on the testing of steel products in Indonesia and are still based on the provisions in AISC 341-16. This research was conducted by collecting data on steel tensile test results to obtain the over-strength ratio and then modeling the steel frame building using the over-strength steel provisions of SNI 7860:2020 and based on the tensile test results to determine the difference in structural behavior. Based on the tensile test results, WF300 steel has a yield strength ratio (Ry) of 1.78, which is higher than the SNI specification of 1.5, and a tensile strength ratio (Rt) of 1.35, which is higher than the SNI specification of 1.2. Based on pushover analysis, the deviation value at the initial formation of the plastic hinge on Structure A1 (Ry=1.5) in the x-axis direction of 79.352 mm is smaller than Structure B1 (Ry=1.78) by 94.01 mm. This indicates that the plastic hinge of Structure A1 is formed earlier than Structure B1.

The advent of spatially resolved transcriptomics (SRT) has revolutionized our understanding of spatial gene expression patterns within tissue architecture, shifting the paradigm of molecular biology and genetics. This breakthrough technology bridges the gap between genomics and histology, allowing for a more integrated view of cellular function and interaction within their native context. Despite the development of numerous computational tools, each with its own underlying assumptions, identifying appropriate ones for specific SRT data analyses remains challenging. Additionally, a comprehensive review addressing the conceptual frameworks and practical applications of SRT is absent. This review specifically focuses on elucidating key concepts and model selection during SRT analysis, providing critical assessments of prevailing computational methodologies. We also explore the transformative implications of applying SRT technology to various fields. The primary objective of this review is to facilitate the effective application of SRT, fostering a deeper insight into tissue architecture and cellular dynamics.
A RELEVÂNCIA DA INDIGNAÇÃO EPISTÊMICA NA EXTENSÃO UNIVERSITÁRIA
Authors: Rocha Gomes Junior Francisco Tarcísio , Freire Paiva Ponce de Leão Laura
Published: October 2024

A presente pesquisa visa discutir sobre como a Indignação Epistêmica, tema ainda pouco debatido no meio acadêmico, pode contribuir para as práticas de extensão nas universidades, em especial na disciplina de Teoria Geral do Direito. Conforme alguns estudiosos, há três pilares principais que contribuem com a crise vivida atualmente pelas instituições acadêmicas, sendo eles, o pouco financiamento, o distanciamento da sociedade e o conhecimento pouco prático. Com isso, propõe-se, por meio desta pesquisa, esclarecer os três problemas citados anteriormente, bem como entender o que é a Indignação Epistêmica e como ela, juntamente com a prática da extensão, pode ajudar na resolução da crise das universidades. Por meio de pesquisas bibliográficas e práticas extensionistas vivenciadas, a consideração final é que a inserção da Indignação Epistêmica como pilar das atividades de extensão na disciplina de Teoria do Direito desenvolve nos estudantes um maior pensamento crítico e uma maior aproximação dos conhecimentos acadêmicos com as vivências populares.

Published: October 2024

A presente pesquisa tem como objetivo refletir a respeito da religiosidade do sertanejo do semiárido nordestino como fator de resignação destes atores na convivência com o fenômeno natural das secas. Metodologicamente, buscamos realizar uma discussão pormenorizada desta temática com base em textos acadêmicos produzidos entre os anos de 2015 e 2022, através de uma Revisão Sistemática de Literatura (ERCOLE; MELO; ALCOFORADO, 2014), a fim de desenvolver uma pesquisa criteriosa e sequenciada, com método passível de replicação, a partir de estudos já publicados. A revisão teve como arcabouço teórico autores como Assis (2020), Souza (2018), Silva Junior (2018) e Camargo (2018).  Ao fim do trabalho, foi possível verificar a existência de uma relação entre a religiosidade católica do sertanejo e um comportamento resignado em relação ao fenômeno da seca, através dos cultos e crenças praticados com o passar dos anos. Evidenciamos, ainda, a necessidade e abertura para o surgimento de novas pesquisas com esta abordagem, a fim de proporcionar uma discussão atualizada da temática.
