Authors: Zhang Weiye , Tan Wei , G. Zammar Samer , Park Kathryn , Scheer Justin , Lee Young , Jamison Alysha , A. Tan Lee
Published: July 2024

The cervical spine plays a pivotal role in activities of daily living by allowing a wide range of motion while supporting the cranium. Cervical spine deformity (CSD) can cause significant negative impact on the patient’s functional status and quality of life. Surgical correction of cervical spine deformity can be challenging due to the complexity of the regional neurovascular anatomy, which necessitates a comprehensive understanding of the cervical spine anatomy and biomechanics. Goals of cervical deformity surgery include decompression of neural elements, and restoration of cervical alignment, and achieving solid arthrodesis. Cervical spine deformity correction can involve various anterior and posterior surgical techniques. Careful surgical planning and meticulous surgical techniques are essential to minimize complications and optimize clinical outcomes in cervical deformity correction. In this chapter, we provide an in depth review of pre-operative evaluation, surgical planning, and treatment strategies for cervical spine deformity.
The Role of Radiation in the Treatment of Hepatocellular Carcinoma
Authors: N. Schill Christian , H. Smith William
Published: July 2024

In the past two decades, Radiation Therapy (RT) has become a cornerstone in the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), thanks to significant advancements in radiation delivery techniques. Previously, conventional RT played a limited role in treating HCC due to the high risk of toxicity to normal liver tissue. However, with the introduction of advanced techniques like stereotactic body radiation (SBRT), radiation has become more precise and targeted. SBRT, in particular, has emerged as a valuable locoregional therapy for HCC patients who are not candidates for surgery or other local treatments. This chapter aims to explore the evolving role of RT in multidisciplinary HCC care and highlight the technique, indications, and supporting literature for SBRT and proton therapy in early and intermediate HCC treatment. Additionally, we will delve into the palliative uses of RT for pain relief and tumor burden reduction in HCC patients. Finally, we will review recent advances in RT, such as adaptive radiotherapy and biological-guided radiotherapy, discussing their potential impact on HCC treatment.

Authors: P. Varkey Shine , K.M. Shankar
Published: July 2024

Molecular docking is a crucial process in computational immunology that involves the precise binding of antibodies to antigens, illuminating the key sites responsible for immune recognition named epitopes. Understanding these molecular interactions at a detailed level is critical in unraveling immune responses and developing targeted interventions. Commencing with the intricacies of antibody design, the review will explore the connection among molecular features, including interaction environments, structural features, and the specificity of these interactions. The review will underscore how this approach not only expedites research processes but also offers cost-effective avenues for in-depth exploration of molecular landscapes. Finally, the practical applications of these insights in diagnostics and vaccine development will be discussed, showcasing the transformative potential of understanding and manipulating antibody-antigen interactions at the molecular level.

Authors: M. Radanović Mirjana , S. Kostić Marijana
Published: July 2024

Schiff bases represent a large group of organic compounds interesting for many different profiles of researchers due to their easy synthesis, versatile coordination behavior, and structural properties of their metal complexes, but primarily due to different application possibilities. Besides the promising biological activities, Schiff bases and their metal complexes often show high photoluminescence, thus making good candidates for use in optical materials. Among these, the use of Schiff base metal complexes in different types of solar cells stands out. With the aim to make this more attractive for more coordination chemists, in this chapter, we highlight the main findings from this field to establish a better understanding of the structure-properties linkage and enable the design of new materials with enhanced characteristics.

In the era of globalization, the issue of national identity has become very important. The rapid pace of globalization has led to the erosion of national values, especially among the younger generation who are more interested in foreign cultures than their own national culture. This can be seen from the increased interest of children in imported products compared to domestic products. This research uses a qualitative method to describe and find meaning behind this phenomenon, by producing descriptive data in the form of words, both written and spoken (Ratna, 2010: 94). It is hoped that by instilling nationalistic values, the younger generation will be motivated to defend national unity. These nationalistic values can be taught through various methods, including through the learning process in schools and universities. In the learning process, these nationalistic values can be integrated. The analysis of the implementation of the Student Profile Strengthening Project of Pancasila in the development of student nationalism at SMAN 1 Pamarayan involves activities of the Student Profile Strengthening Project of Pancasila which has the themes of "bhineka tunggal ika" and "bela negara" (unity in diversity and defending the nation).

In some cases, Islamic education curricula adopt a more progressive approach with a focus on critical thinking skills, foreign languages, and digital literacy. Globalization has introduced various new learning approaches and methods. Traditional Islamic education, which often consists of rote memorization and reproduction of sacred texts, faces pressure to adopt an approach more oriented towards understanding social and global contexts. Globalization has opened access to international educational resources through technology. This allows Islamic students and teachers to access new information and knowledge more easily, which can change the way Islamic education is taught and studied.

This study examines the strategies and implications of online learning for children with intellectual disabilities during the COVID-19 pandemic. Children with special needs, including those with intellectual disabilities, require education tailored to their unique needs. This research uses a literature review method, prioritizing research articles published in the last 5 years to gather relevant data on distance learning and effective strategies for children with intellectual disabilities. The COVID-19 pandemic has forced a shift from face-to-face to online learning, posing significant challenges for children with intellectual disabilities who have difficulty with logical thinking and require direct interaction to understand material. Online learning offers advantages such as time flexibility and the use of technology, but also has drawbacks such as a lack of direct interaction, resulting in a limited understanding of the material. Parents play a crucial role in supporting children during online learning, but they face challenges such as limited knowledge and motivation from the child. This study found that parents often struggle to explain material to their children and maintain their learning motivation. To overcome these obstacles, recommended strategies include the use of simple language, repetitive explanations, and real-life examples. Online learning also brings children and parents closer, allowing parents to better understand their child's nature and create a closer relationship. In conclusion, support from family and teachers is essential to enhancing the effectiveness of online learning for children with intellectual disabilities, and adapting appropriate strategies can help overcome various challenges encountered during the online learning process during the pandemic.
