HUMAN RIGHTS BETWEEN SHARIA AND LAW
Authors: AKACHOU Dr. Halima
Published: May 2024

The topic of "human rights" is considered one of the old and new topics in the entire world, Which means a set of fixed rights for the human being from his birth that recognizes his dignity regardless of color, sect, or gender. According to the Almighty’s saying: {And We have honored the children of Adam and carried them on land and sea and provided them with good things and favored them over others. Many of those whom We created with excellence{. Accordingly, human rights in Islamic law are characterized by being divine in source and purpose, Comprehensive, permanent, and valid for every time and place due to its reliance on the Holy Qur’an and the Sunnah of the Prophet , As for the sources of rights in positive law, they are based on changing social customs and legal bodies and personalities that regulate laws that concern humans, but they are incompletely incapable of meeting aspects of life in an integrated manner. The importance of the issue is evident in the fact that it occupies the first place in both the international and domestic arena. On the international scene, the United Nations and international organizations concerned with human rights seek to highlight their role in serving human rights and compete to do so, At the internal level, countries compete to declare that they are committed to human rights after those rights were established in their constitutions, It seeks to highlight the elements of its legal state, whose primary goal is to protect human rights

This study investigated the effect of exogenous plant growth regulators (PGR), namely jasmonic acid (JA) and methyl jasmonate (MeJA), on the physicochemical properties of flesh and peels of red-fleshed dragon fruit (Hylocereus polyrhizus). The fruit was sprayed with 100 and 1,000 ppm of JA and MeJA at 15 and 22 days of anthesis and harvested after 35 days. Then, the flesh and peels were analyzed for total soluble solids (TSS), total betacyanins, betanin, total phenolics (TP), total flavonoids (TF), and color characteristics. The fruit peels contained significantly higher (p<0.05) TP and antioxidant activities compared to flesh. No significant difference was detected between the variables in the peels, except for significantly higher (p<0.05) of total betacyanins (~295.6 and ~299.9 mg/100 g) and TP (~614.1 and 566.1 mg GAE/100 g) were recorded in control and 100 ppm MeJA, respectively. In the flesh, 1,000 ppm MeJA-treated fruit possessed the highest total betacyanins (~139.2 mg/100 g), betanin (~356.0 mg/g), TP (~244.9 mg GAE/100 g), TF (~329.0 mg CE/100 g), Trolox equivalent antioxidant capacity (TEAC) (63.2 µmol TE/g) and reducing power (~21.5 µmol TE/g). Overall, 1,000 ppm MeJA was more effective in enhancing the accumulation of bioactive compounds and antioxidant activities in the flesh of red-fleshed dragon fruit compared to other PGR treatments.

The study aims to determine the physical and chemical properties of Momordica cochinchinensis L. Spreng (gac) fruits. Fruit size varied, weighing 359.17 to 588.33g, with lengths of 11.10 to 13.92 cm and circumferences of 27.43 to 30.67 cm. Components included pulp (34.06 to 41.58%), seeds (23.11 to 29.70%), peel (16.65 to 20.60%), and aril (15.64 to 18.64%). Skin and aril colour parameters (L*, a*, b*) indicated maturity and carotenoid content. Aril had higher acidity (pH 5.54±0.02, titratable acidity [TA] 0.03 to 0.05g/L), total soluble solids (TSS, 11.57%±0.52 °Brix), and carbohydrates (55.6 g/100 g) than pulp (pH 5.65±0.02, TA 0.01 to 0.02g/L, TSS 4.90%±0.33 °Brix, carbohydrates 30.9 g/100 g). Peel contained most protein (6.2 g/100 g) and dietary fibre (56.9 to 58.1 g/100 g). Glucose and fructose were found in both pulp and aril. Potassium levels were highest in peel (817.59 mg/100 g), followed by pulp (658.20 mg/100 g) and aril (228.79 mg/100 g). Lycopene dominated carotenoids, especially in aril (31.7 to 103.7 mg/g). β-carotene, lutein, astaxanthin, and zeaxanthin were also present. β-carotene (2.9 to 9.6 mg/g) was second to lycopene, followed by astaxanthin (1.54 to 4.91 mg/g), lutein (0.16 to 1.35 mg/g), and zeaxanthin (0.35 to 1.49 mg/g), absent in pulp. These findings have implications for the food industry, offering insights into gac fruit’s nutritional potential. Malaysian gac exhibited superior nutritional content, with pulp and aril as notable sources of carbohydrates and minerals for consumption and aril as a promising source of healthy oils.

Published: May 2024

Arabica, Robusta, and Liberica are the three main coffee species cultivated globally. Liberica coffee is a minor species, accounting for less than 1% of global cultivation. Due to favorable climatic conditions in Malaysia, Liberica coffee dominates coffee production, accounting for 73%, while Robusta makes up the remaining 27%. Nevertheless, the substantial coffee production resulted in approximately 15 million tons of discarded skin and pulp, contributing to environmental pollution. This study was conducted due to insufficient information and research on the proximate composition and phytochemical compounds of the coffee bean and pulp from Liberica sp. This study aims to determine the proximate composition of coffee beans and pulp extracts from Liberica sp. and to identify the phytochemical composition using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) analysis. The nutritional values of carbohydrates, protein, crude fiber, crude fat, and ash were obtained using proximate analysis. Coffee beans exhibited the highest value for crude protein (11.96%) and crude fiber (11.83%), whereas coffee pulp has the highest significant value for moisture content (68.81%) and ash (7.31%). LC-MS analysis shows emmotin A and deoxymiroestrol were the major phytochemical compounds. These findings contribute to understanding the nutritional value and phytochemical compounds of coffee beans and pulp from Liberica sp. that may contribute to sustainable waste management and other applications in the food and beverage industry.
Biomarkers: Their Vital Role in Understanding the Complexity of Marine Pollution Monitoring
Authors: Antinero Ariel , Capangpangan Rey
Published: May 2024

The monitoring of marine pollution plays a pivotal role in our efforts to comprehend and mitigate its detrimental effects on marine ecosystems. Biomarkers, quantifiable biological indicators of exposure or effect, have emerged as indispensable tools in gauging the magnitude of pollution. This review delves into the multifaceted challenges associated with the use of biomarkers in marine pollution monitoring, including species-specific responses, sensitivity and specificity concerns, extraneous factors, species variability, an exclusive focus on single stressors, and limited knowledge. Discerning between pollution-induced impacts and natural fluctuations is made challenging by the inherent natural variability and confounding factors. Differences in sensitivity and specificity add complexity to the precision of pollution detection. Species-specific variations and the presence of multiple contaminants add layers of complexity to biomarker examination. Additionally, the lack of standardized operating procedures and insufficient information hinder the widespread adoption of biomarkers. Limited studies on specific stressors restrict our comprehensive understanding of pollution effects particularly in the Philippines. Further research, collaborative efforts, and the establishment of standardized protocols are imperative to enhance the precision and efficacy of biomarker-based monitoring in marine environments.
Growth and Survival of Hatchery-Reared White Teatfish Holothuria fuscogilva Cherbonnier, 1980 Juveniles in Different Feed Types Under Laboratory Conditions
Authors: Arriesgado Dan
Published: May 2024

The hatchery production and mariculture of the sea cucumber species Holothuria fuscogilva Cherbonnier, 1980, commonly known as white teatfish, represent a potential remedy for the decreasing population of this extensively exploited species, owing to its considerable nutritional and medicinal value. The Sea Cucumber Research and Development Center at Mindanao State University in Naawan is actively formulating a comprehensive protocol for the large-scale production of H. fuscogilva through hatchery methods. Within hatchery rearing for mass production, selecting an optimal feed type influences the growth and survival rates of H. fuscogilva juveniles. To address this, an experiment employing a complete block randomized design was executed, utilizing four distinct feed types—Navicula sp., tilapia waste + commercial probiotics (CP), Spirulina powder, and commercial feed (mixed feed for Penaeus monodon #1)—each replicated three times. This 90-day laboratory experiment involved 960 individuals of 90-day-old hatchery- reared H. fuscogilva juveniles with an initial weight of 0.11±0.004g. The results revealed that Navicula sp. and Spirulina powder significantly contributed to higher average body weight, average weight gain, growth rate, and specific growth rates compared to commercial feed and tilapia waste + CP. Notably, Navicula sp. demonstrated the highest % survival rate (87.92±3.88%) over the 90 days, surpassing the rates observed for tilapia waste + CP (63.75±7.11%), Spirulina powder (26.67±6.40%), and commercial feed (20.00±4.30%). These findings suggest that the Navicula sp. was the ideal feed for H. fuscogilva juveniles at this stage supporting better survival and growth.
Closure of Full-thickness Macular Hole after Pars Plana Vitrectomy (23G) with Cataract Phacoemulsification, Artificial Intraocular Lens Implantation, and Silicone Oil Administration Due to Rhegmatogenous Retinal Detachment in the Right Eye in a 67-year-old Patient – a Case Report
Authors: Stec Maria , Kuźniak Mikołaj , Sirek Sebastian
Published: May 2024

Macular holes pose a significant threat to central vision, necessitating precise diagnosis and intervention with an occurrence of 1 per 1000 patients over the age of 55. This manuscript presents a case study of a 66-year-old man with a retinal detachment in the right eye and full-wall macular hole.
The patient underwent a multi-step surgical intervention involving pars plana vitrectomy, internal limiting membrane peeling with silicone oil tamponade, retinal endophotocoagulation, and administration and removal of the perfluorocarbon liquid DK-line in the first step. The second stage of treatment comprised silicone oil removal via posterior access vitrectomy, injection of 25% SF6 into the right eye, and treatment of intraoperatively found macular hole with an inverted flap method.
The case underscores the association between macular hole and rhegmatogenous retinal detachment, with potential iatrogenic causes during vitrectomy. The inverted internal limiting membrane flap technique emerged as a superior strategy for managing full-thickness macular holes, demonstrating high closure rates and improved visual acuity postoperatively. This case study contributes to the evolving understanding of macular hole pathogenesis and reinforces the significance of tailored surgical approaches for optimal patient outcomes.

Dead or alive? Antipredatory mechanism of Adenomera hylaedactyla (Cope, 1868) (Anura: Leptodactylidae) in northeastern Brazil
Authors: Eduardo Jussara da Conceição , Pereira Samuel Lopes , Andrade Etielle Barroso , Costa Claylton de Abreu
Published: May 2024

Anurans inhabit different types of environments, so these animals have developed a wide variety of defense mechanisms throughout evolutionary processes. During fieldwork in Serra dos Matões, municipality of Pedro II, state of Piauí, northeastern Brazil, we found an individual of Adenomera hylaedactyla on the edge of a permanent watercourse, in a transition area between Cerrado and Caatinga. Upon contact, the specimen exhibited “limb interweave” behavior, in which the individual extends and intertwines the hind limbs as a defense mechanism. There are no records of this defense mechanism in Adenomera species, making this work the first documented record of “limb interweave” for this genus. It should be emphasized that the evolution of species is closely related to the different types of behavior exhibited during interspecific interactions, therefore, such behaviors can influence speciation processes.

Authors:   , Mlambo Philani Brian
Published: May 2024

The infusion of Information and Communications Technology (ICT) into the education system has led to changes in the way teaching and learning are conducted. One of the factors is the migration of the world to the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) and another factor is the recent outbreak of COVID-19. This change has necessitated the need for teachers to have ICT skills that would help them integrate ICT into teaching and learning. Hence, this study was conducted to investigate the state of readiness of Engineering Graphics and Design (EGD) teachers in the integration of ICT in teaching and learning in uMgungundlovu secondary schools. To carry out the objectives of this study an interpretivism paradigm was employed. The study also employed qualitative approach to collect data. The investigation comprised of 9 teachers and convenience sampling was used to select the participants. Interviews and classroom observations were used as data collection methods. These methods were adapted from the Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) framework that was used to underpin the study. Data gathered from interviews was subjected to thematic analysis and data gathered from classroom observations was reported descriptively. The findings of this study discovered that EGD teachers in uMgungundlovu District are ready to infuse ICT into teaching and learning as they indicated that ICT integration in EGD lessons is very essential but there are few challenges like the shortage of ICT resources that are proving to be a stumbling block. The study recommends that the Department of Basic Education (DBE) should provide teachers with training so that those teachers who are technically disadvantaged can be equipped with relevant ICT skills. The study further recommends that DBE should also provide schools with equipment such as laptops, projectors, whiteboards, AutoCAD, and tablets that EGD teachers would use to incorporate ICT into teaching and learning as it has been proven that abstract concepts are best studied using technology.

El discurso sobre el trabajo de las mujeres en el diario El País: la desteatralización
Authors: Martínez Sánchez María
Published: May 2024

Este artículo analiza cómo son representadas en el diario El País las mujeres que trabajan en las artes escénicas. El abordaje analítico parte del concepto teórico de la ‘desteatralización’, que se articula en esta investigación como una categoría de análisis que estudia las estrategias mediáticas que disocian a las mujeres del ámbito teatral de aspectos laborales y las confinan simbólicamente a espacios relacionados con la concepción hegemónica de la feminidad. El objetivo es desentrañar si las estrategias discursivas que lleva a cabo el diario conducen a un distanciamiento del rol profesional de las mujeres de la escena teatral. Se concluye que la desteatralización se despliega a partir de prácticas como la desviación del foco de la noticia, la reiteración de género, el empleo del masculino genérico o la hipermediatización del feminismo.
Gender wars and cancel culture in academia: Umut Özkırımlı in conversation with Laura Favaro
Authors: Favaro Laura , Özkırımlı Umut
Published: May 2024

The Oxford English Dictionary defines cancel culture as «the action or practice of publicly boycotting, ostracizing, or withdrawing support from a person, institution, etc., thought to be promoting culturally unacceptable ideas». Though accurate, this definition is incomplete since cancel culture goes way beyond boycotting or ostracizing. It includes a wide spectrum of sanctions, spanning from public naming and shaming, censorship and job loss to intimidation and outright attacks in the form of verbal and physical abuse. This article discusses the mechanisms and negative impacts of cancel culture in academia by focusing on the case of Laura Favaro, who was ‘cancelled’ after publishing an article on the findings of her research on academia's ‘gender wars’. The concerted attempts to silence certain – particularly feminist – perspectives on sex and gender have severe and wide-ranging implications for researchers and the scholarly endeavour as a whole, contributing to the toxic atmosphere created by the neoliberalisation of university.

Published: May 2024

O carste e o pseudocarste desempenham funções ecossistêmicas vitais, fornecendo recursos naturais e assegurando atividades econômicas importantes, além de proporcionar materiais importantes para entender paleoambientes. Porém, estas regiões são intrinsicamente frágeis, associadas a movimentos de massa ou à manutenção da qualidade dos aquíferos, sendo restritas há algumas formas de uso e ocupações do solo. O objetivo deste estudo é executar uma revisão integrativa sobre o carste no Mato Grosso do Sul, avaliar atributos geológico-ambientais por localização que condicionam a ocorrência de cavidades naturais, além de verificar se é possível prever o número de cavidades por métodos de regressão linear simples e múltipla e investigar se há autocorrelação espacial com alguns destes atributos. Observa-se que estudos sobre o carste no estado são recentes e se concentram em temas de reconstituição paleoambiental. A maior parte das cavidades cadastradas ocorre em rochas carbonáticas neoproterozoicas, porém há um relevante potencial espeleológico em rochas não carbonáticas paleozoicas e mesozoicas. Não é possível prever por método estatístico puramente determinístico a ocorrência de cavidades, sendo verificado padrão estocástico em sua distribuição. O estimador de densidade Kernel possibilitou inferências qualitativas da probabilidade de ocorrência de cavidades. Os índices de Moran foram eficientes ao demonstrar que condicionantes geológico- ambientais de cavidades em rochas carbonáticas podem interagir de maneira distinta e inversa em rochas não carbonáticas.

Published: May 2024

The article is devoted to the development of a recipe for a gluten-free flour composite mixture based on buckwheat, rice, and corn flours for the preparation of confectionery products, as well as the enhancement of its nutritional value using locally produced flaxseed and chickpea flours. For the production of gluten-free sugar cookies, two types of gluten-free flour composite mixture have been developed: a) rice, buckwheat, and flaxseed flour and b) rice, corn, and chickpea flour. The optimal flour ratio is 40:30:30. The physic-chemical and organoleptic indicators of gluten-free sugar cookies obtained using the gluten-free flour composite mixture align with the indicators specified in the standard. The developed gluten-free composite flour mixture is characterized by a fairly high satisfaction level with the balanced nutrition formula regarding basic nutrients. The levels of protein, carbohydrate, and fat satisfaction increased by 64, 37, and 118%, respectively, with the addition of flax to the rice and buckwheat mixture. Adding chickpeas to the rice and corn mixture increased protein and fat satisfaction by 35.5 and 27%, respectively, while carbohydrates remained almost unchanged.

OVERSIZED ROAD TRANSPORT - PARTICULARITIES, REALIZATION CONDITIONS, PROBLEMS AND DEVELOPMENT PERSPECTIVES
Authors: Garstea Nina
Published: May 2024

Transport is in continuous evolution, regardless of the activity sector. Road transport faces various obstacles, and their management is a crucial part of planning and executing bulk transport operations. One of the main obstacles is the low height of bridges or power lines along the planned route. To avoid collisions with these obstacles, detailed studies of the route are carried out, identifying potential conflict points in advance. Preventive measures such as temporarily raising power lines or temporarily changing the height of bridges can be implemented to ensure the smooth passage of oversized cargo. Ground communication routes with a curved axis represent another limiting factor in oversized transport. Solutions include planning routes to minimize the number of bends or using special trailers with directional axles. These trailers allow for easier cornering and ensure that the transport can cross terrain with difficult geographical features. The necessary authorizations also represent a major obstacle. Oversized transport often involves dimensions and weights that exceed the usual limits, which is why it is mandatory to obtain authorizations issued by competent public authorities. But this stage, by way of consequence, determines the legality and admissibility of carrying out transport operations. To manage obstacles in oversized transport, a proactive approach is essential, with detailed route analyses, the implementation of appropriate preventive measures, and compliance with applicable regulations. These solutions contribute to the efficiency and safety of oversized road transport, ensuring harmonious integration in the context of the existing infrastructure.

Nowadays, grapes represent the third most widely cultivated horticulture crop in the world. For the Republic of Moldova, grapes have been recognized as the most culturally important crop. About 70% of the total production of Moldovan grapes is processed in the wine industry, 30 % of which are by-products that tend to be not fully exploited, being frequently burned or landfilled. Due to its chemical composition, grape pomace is one type of agricultural waste that can be used to achieve sustainability in the food business by converting waste into useful resources. In this sense, the pomace chemical composition, with demonstrated antioxidant potential, is a viable source of biologically active compounds, as a cheap agricultural waste product, for the development of functional products. This paper is an overview of the characteristics and potential uses of wine industry waste, namely grape pomace and explores the implementation of eco-friendly technologies that have the potential to convert this perishable material into a unique ingredient, unveiling fresh opportunities for the grape pomace's utilization and consumption.

The role of a radiographer in MRI is to provide high-quality diagnostic images, use equipment in MRI, and take care of this equipment, as MRI machines are very costly. Radiographer plays an essential role in the safety of patients and MRI machines as they are expensive. They are responsible for positioning the patient correctly and explaining the procedure to the patient to prevent any anxiety during the scan. Additionally, radiographers must assess patient suitability for MRI, ensuring that they do not have any implants of metal that may interfere with the magnetic field (Bo). During the processing of the image, the radiographer must select the appropriate protocol and adjust parameters to improve the quality of the image. It's also the radiographer's responsibility to continuously monitor the patient during the scan to ensure the safety and comfort of the patient. Radiographers must be highly skilled in using advanced imaging techniques such as contrast to provide additional information. Further, radiographers should have comprehensive knowledge of anatomy, pathology, and physics related to MRI. The physician requests and collaborates with the radiologist to ensure accurate imaging sequences are used to obtain authentic diagnostic images. Hence, radiographers are essential in operating the equipment, ensuring patient safety and comfort, and producing high-quality diagnostic images. Their anatomy, pathology, and physics skills, combined with their technical skills, enable them to contribute significantly to the accuracy and effectiveness of MRI examinations.

Labioplasty discomfort can be prevented by inhibiting the infraorbital nerve. Ketamine can be utilized as an adjuvant to lengthen the duration of analgesia in the infraorbital block when bupivacaine is used for infraorbital blocks within a relatively short period. This study aimed to assess the analgesic duration of bupivacaine and bupivacaine-ketamine on the infraorbital block in patients undergoing labioplasty, using the FLACC pain score.The research is a prospective approach, randomized, controlled clinical experiment with double-blinding. Thirty subjects, 3-12month-old children with ASA I and II status, received labioplasty surgery. Subjects were administered 1mL of each infraorbital block with 0.25% Bupivacaine and 0.25% Bupivacaine with Ketamine 0.5mg/kg BW to each group. The Paired T-test was used to compare subject characteristics, while the Independent T-test was used to compare heart rate. Chi-square (Fisher's exact) analysis revealed a significance level of p 0.005 for the FLACC value comparison. All statistical test results were examined with SPSS version 25.0. In the Bupivacaine group, there was an increase in mild pain within 4-5hours (7:46.7%); by 6 hours, there was an increase in mild pain in all 15 participants. At eight hours, it progressed to moderate pain (7:46.7%) with 496 minutes of analgesia and light pain (8:53.7%). The individuals in the Bupivacaine-Ketamine group had pain between 5-8 hours. Six patients (40%) with a pain-free analgesia duration of 1.440 minutes and nine (60%) with a minor pain status had FLACC values 4 during 24-hour observations.Bupivacaine and Bupivacaine-Ketamine have no side effects and no change in heart rate. Combining Bupivacaine with Ketamine has a more prolonged postoperative analgesic effect (24 hours) than the bupivacaine group in the infraorbital block in labioplasty patients (8 hours).

Alzheimer’s diseases is a neurodegenerative progressive diseases accompanied by complex pathology. Because of its complex pathology, multi-target ligands are considered as an attractive strategy for new drug development against AD. In this context dual inhibition of AChE and GSK-3β can be considered as an important strategy. In this work, various polyphenolic compounds from the literature were collected and evaluated against AChE and GSK-3β using molecular docking. The results indicated good binding potential of all the docked compounds for GSK-3β (9kcal/mol), while weak to good binding potential for AChE (8 to 12kcal/mol). The binding mode analysis of GSK-3 docked complexes showed interactions with key residues like Asp133 and Val135 which are important for molecular recognition. Additionally, the docked compounds showed interactions with Leu132, Arg141 and Cys199, the residues important for potency and selectivity. With respect to AChE, the compounds mostly occupied peripheral aromatic site in the active site of AChE, the site important for binding of ligands and inhibitor. The binding mode analysis showed interactions with key residues Tyr124, Ser293 and Arg296 important for substrate binding and recognition. Further the polar interactions were also noted for His447 and Ser203 (residues important for Ach hydrolysis) in some of the identified ligands. Overall the work resulted in the identification of eight compounds 5'-geranyl-5,7,2',4'tetrahydroxyflavone-2, Kuwanon E 4, Gossypetin, Kaempferide, Galangin, Kaempferol, baicalein and Ellagic acid with the potential dual inhibition of AChE and GSK-3β. It should be noted that kaempferide was not reported in the literature for AChE inhibition, while except baicalein none of the compounds were reported for GSK-3β. Further, the eight identified compounds were subjected for ADME profiling using SwissADME which showed their drug like character. Therefore, based on the results from this study, the above mentioned eight compounds can be looked upon with the potential of dual inhibition against AChE and GSK-3β.
