Wheat is one of the most cultivated and consumed cereal crops in the world. A significant part of wheat production is carried out in arid and semi-arid areas, where limiting factors are mainly drought and high temperatures. Growth and development of wheat under drought stress conditions occur due to adaptive changes of various complex processes that constitute the mechanism of tolerance. The aim of this research was to study the effect of drought stress on some biochemical and physiological parameters of bread wheat genotypes. Drought caused an increase of proline, malondialdehyde, hydrogen peroxide contents, and catalase activity in the flag leaf of wheat genotypes. The chlorophyll a, b, and carotenoid content and dry matter in the flag leaf decreased under water stress conditions.

Published: December 2024

Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), such as ibuprofen, are widely used for pain relief and inflammation management. However, their clinical utility is often limited by gastrointestinal side effects arising from non-selective inhibition of both COX-1 and COX-2 enzymes. To address this issue, the ibuprofen derivatives with structural modifications aimed at enhancing COX-2 selectivity while minimizing COX-1 inhibition. The approach involved incorporating specific functional groups and substituents into the ibuprofen scaffold to modulate its binding affinity and selectivity for the COX-2 active site. These modifications were guided by computational modeling, molecular docking and structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies. The synthesis of the novel ibuprofen derivative such as ibuprofen amide and ibuprofen acyl hydrazide derivatives, ibuprofen quinoline conjugate, ibuprofen with hydroxyl group or hetero atoms has been investigate with the help of computational technology. The cucumis melo is also reported to posses anti-ulcer potential and study investigated the mechanism of underlying the anti-ulcer potential. All the molecule showed higher affinity towards Cox-2 enzyme as compared to traditional ibuprofen and also have cucumis melo showed ability to mitigate ulcer and posses anti- ulcer effect.
4 Return migration, entrepreneurship and development in rural Kosova
Authors: Kadriu Lumnije
Published: December 2024

Return migration has become very prominent a pattern in the migration trajectories of peoples’ mobility and thus increasingly researched, revealing a myriad of nuances and experiences. Mostly, the motive for emigration is based on the desire and goal to achieve a success which will prove fruitful upon return. However, the return is faced with different challenges which were/are being under the scrutiny of return migration theoretical explanations. Although Kosova is primarily known as a country of emigration due to its turbulent political history and ongoing economic challenges there are evidenced cases of voluntary return migration. In this paper I will bring experiences of several low-skilled returned emigrants in their villages of origin who established businesses upon return that resulted with certain degree of development and upward social status mobility at personal and communal level. The return of low-skilled workers in rural areas may be among the most challenging returns if considered limited opportunities these areas usually provide. However, new dynamics, especially in tourism potential, are emerging in rural areas. The cases in this paper are quite unique and serve as an illustration of different individual agencies of migrants used as strategy of return.

2 The first steps of carpology in Kosova: the example of Ulpiana's Roman town
Authors: Jedrusiak Florian
Published: December 2024

In anticipation of the Mission Archéologique Européenne au Kosova (MAEKO) program, the study and promotion of the archaeological heritage of Ulpiana (Kosova), an archaeobotanical study—specifically a particular carpological analysis—has been underway since 2022. This study is directly linked to the archaeological excavations of sectors 1300/1300, 1300/1500, and 1400/1400. Although still modest, this study holds undeniable scientific significance as it represents the first of its kind conducted in Ulpiana, and more widely in Kosova and on the territory of ancient Dardania. The carpological data presented here are therefore new and exceptional because they inaugurate research into food consumption in this chrono-cultural region. The excavation of sectors 1300/1300, 1300/1500, and 1400/1400, led by Milot Berisha (IAK), Christophe Goddard (CNRS PSL), and Arben Hajdari (University of Prishtina), uncovered structures from the Roman period and Byzantine periods. Anthropogenic levels revealed, including functional stratigraphic units or carbonized deposits, were the subject of spot sampling of sediments. This protocol was implemented by Florian Jedrusiak (SDAVO UMR 8167 Équipe GAMMA), in consultation with Christophe Goddard and Vincent Bernollin (CNRS PSL, AOROC). This analysis aims to improve the overall understanding of the Ulpiana site, particularly with regard to its plant economy. It is mainly a question of determining which plant foodstuffs were consumed by the populations who occupied the town between the 1st and 6th centuries AD.

The incorporation of biomimetic ideas into product design has emerged as a viable strategy for increasing creativity and utility in cultural and creative products. This study focuses on the design of a household appliance, especially a cultural one, by substituting standard materials with novel alternatives powered by mechanical forces. The objective of this research is to provide a thorough framework for assessing the quality of the newly constructed home appliance by utilizing a unique technique called Adaptable Pelican optimization fine-tuned Gradient boosting machine (APO-GBM). We apply powerful machine learning techniques to predict product quality by identifying essential features like design quality, durability, and user satisfaction. The results show that the application of mechanical forces increases the vessels’ functional efficiency and durability in addition to improving their appearance. The hybrid model is highly accurate in forecasting product quality, opening the path for future advances in biomimetic design. The study’s findings highlight the possibility of combining mechanical forces with biomimetic concepts to produce unique, cultural, and creative products. This information may be very helpful to manufacturers and designers who want to improve the sustainability and quality of their products.
Optimizing English pronunciation teaching through motion analysis and intelligent speech feedback systems
Authors: Wang Jieru
Published: December 2024

This study investigates the effectiveness of integrating Motion Analysis (MA) and Intelligent Speech Feedback Systems (ISFS) to enhance English Pronunciation (EP) accuracy among Chinese learners. Leveraging the OptiTrack Prime 13 Motion Capture System (MCS) and SpeechAce Pronunciation API, the study aims to address challenges non-native English speakers face, particularly in producing accurate articulatory movements and reducing Pronunciation Errors. Forty-three participants were divided into Experimental Groups (EG) and Control Groups (CG), with the EG receiving real-time feedback on articulation and phoneme accuracy. Key metrics, including Pronunciation Accuracy Score (PAS), Articulatory Movement Score (AMS), and Pronunciation Error Rate (PER), were measured alongside engagement indicators, such as session duration and self-corrections. The results show that the EG experienced a significant improvement in pronunciation accuracy, with a 31.2% increase in PAS and a 57.1% reduction in PER. Enhanced AMS scores also indicated refined articulatory precision across various articulatory points, including lip rounding and tongue positioning. Engagement metrics demonstrated higher consistency and task completion rates in the EG, suggesting increased motivation and sustained participation due to the real-time feedback provided. These findings suggest that combining MA with ISFS can provide targeted, adaptive support, enabling learners to make precise corrections and accelerate their progress in achieving native-like pronunciation. This study contributes valuable insights into the potential of advanced feedback-driven approaches in language learning and pronunciation training.
Biomechanical analysis and application of an anti-fuzzy decomposition method for sports dance movement images based on multi-attention
Authors: Tang Tang , Zheng Junjian , Wang Lei , Yang Fei
Published: December 2024

In the realm of biomechanics, accurate analysis of sports dance movements plays a crucial role in understanding human motion patterns and optimizing athletic performance. To address the challenge of analyzing sports dance error movement images that often suffer from high segmentation difficulty due to blurriness, we propose an anti-fuzzy decomposition method based on multi-head attention. Firstly, the Multi-scale Retinex automatic color enhancement algorithm is employed to correct the color of sports dance error action images, as color correction can enhance the visual clarity which is essential for subsequent biomechanical feature extraction. Subsequently, an anti-fuzzy decomposition model of sports dance error action images based on Diffusion Model-U-shaped network (DM-Unet) is constructed. The corrected image is divided into image blocks by a block embedding layer and then input into the encoder which is constructed by the confrontation generation network. The encoder selects the residual network not only to extract image features but also to capture biomechanically relevant details such as joint positions, limb orientations, and body postures. The multi-head attention module is utilized to suppress the dynamic blur of the image, which helps in precisely identifying the key movement elements during sports dance. Moreover, through down-sampling operations, the dimension of image features is reduced while retaining the essential biomechanical information. The decoder then uses the up-sampling module to restore the encoder output results to the original size. Through the global residual connection module, the features of each layer of the encoder and decoder are connected, enabling the retention of shallow features of the image that are significant for analyzing the fine-grained biomechanical aspects of sports dance movements. The comprehensive loss function is used to train the model, and the anti-fuzzy decomposition results of sports dance error action images are outputted. The experimental results show that this method can effectively decompose the wrong action image of sports dance into structure and texture parts. Importantly, the peak signal-to-noise ratio of the decomposed image being higher than 26dB indicates enhanced clarity for further biomechanical analysis. For example, these decomposed images can be used to study the impact of different movement errors on joint torques, muscle activations, and overall body balance in sports dance, providing valuable insights for coaches and biomechanics researchers to improve training programs and understand injury mechanisms.

The global prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) continues to rise significantly, with particularly concerning rates in Saudi Arabia. This increase has led to a proportional rise in diabetes-related complications, with diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) representing one of the most challenging and potentially devastating consequences. This case report presents the successful implementation of advanced dressing therapy to prevent lower limb amputation in a patient with complex DFUs in a specialized wound care clinic. We document the case of a 65-year-old male with a 30-year history of T2DM who presented to the Emergency Department with a septic foot and peripheral vasculopathy complicated by a chronic wound. Following the patient's refusal of amputation, specialized wound care nurses implemented a comprehensive treatment protocol incorporating multiple advanced dressing techniques, including antibacterial solutions, autolytic debridement gels, charcoal-silver dressings, and protective absorption foam. The treatment strategy was systematically adjusted according to wound healing stages over six months of careful monitoring. The initial wound, measuring 8×10 cm with purulent discharge and necrotic tissue, showed remarkable improvement, with healthy granulation tissue emerging within three weeks of treatment initiation. Through the strategic use of advanced dressing products for wound bed preparation and matrix therapy with heparin sulfate solution during the maturation phase, complete wound healing was achieved with minimal scarring. This case demonstrates the potential of specialized wound care protocols in preventing amputation and achieving optimal healing outcomes in complex DFUs while highlighting the crucial role of dedicated wound care nurses in delivering comprehensive care.

Authors: Putra Mukhlas Adi , Achmad Tarmizi
Published: December 2024

The purpose of this study is to review the potential for fraud with the fraud hexagon theory. In addition, statistical analysis is conducted to determine the moderating impact of the audit committee. Uses the Moderated Regression Analysis (MRA) technique and F-Score as a measurement of FFR. The sample consisted of 492 observations from 2020 to 2023 consumer cyclical sector companies. This study indicates that external pressure, ineffective monitoring, quality of external audit, ceo duality, political connection, and arrogance have a significant effect. Meanwhile, the financial targets, auditor switching, change in director, and nature of the industry do not have a significant effect. Audit committees can reduce the impact of financial targets, ineffective monitoring, changes in directors, ceo-duality, political connections, and arrogance. However, it is not possible to control for the impact of external pressure, auditor switching, quality of external audit, and nature of the industry. The audit committee can reduce negative impacts within the company, while external impacts have not been able to reduce them. Thus, management must pay more attention to the existence of the audit committee as a front guard to prevent fraud.
Innovation, Industrial Structure Upgrading, and Environmental Regulation: A Literature Review on Drivers of High-Quality Economic Development in China
Authors: Feng Guo , Sulaiman Noorasiah , Karim Zulkefly Abdul , Sieng Lai Wei
Published: December 2024

Recent literature reveals complex relationships among innovation, industrial structure upgrading (ISU), and environmental regulation in China’s high-quality economic development (HQED). This review finds that technological innovation enhances productivity through knowledge spillovers, while green innovation and digital transformation create additional benefits via sustainability and market restructuring. ISU complements these effects by optimizing resource allocation and enhancing regional resilience. Environmental regulation significantly moderates these mechanisms, showing a “U-shaped” relationship between regulation intensity and development outcomes. Regional disparities are evident, with eastern regions exhibiting stronger innovation-upgrading synergies compared to central and western regions. Key challenges include addressing temporal dynamics, regional heterogeneity, and fine-tuning environmental policies to local contexts. Future research should explore variations in institutional quality and the social implications of development transformation.

Published: December 2024

One of the major concerns in network security that pose a big challenge to safeguarding networks is distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks. Such attacks often lead to breaches of trust in online systems, cause significant losses in financial markets, and deny services to legitimate users. This study aims to propose a robust method for detecting DDOS attacks accurately. To accomplish this goal, the study investigated several machine learning algorithms in detecting such attacks utilizing the CIC-DDOS-2019 dataset, a well-known benchmark dataset characterized by its comprehensive coverage of DDOS attacks. Five machine learning algorithms have been evaluated: Random Forest (RF), Naive Bayes (NB), Logistic Regression (LR), J48 Decision Tree, and XGBoost based on their performance in detecting and discriminating between DDoS attacks and benign records. The results show high detection capability, with accuracy rates above 99% for all models except for NB. The RF, LR, J48, and XGBoost algorithms can recognize intricate DDoS assault patterns. In addition to comparing several machine learning methods for DDoS detection, this study provides insight into how these models can be helpful in real-world scenarios for improving network security.

The Placement of Auer Rods as a Single Diagnostic Criterion for the Highest-Risk Category of Myelodysplastic Syndromes: A Single-Institution Study and Critical Analysis
Authors: Kansal Rina
Published: December 2024

Accurate determination of prognostic risk is critical for patients and treating clinicians. The French-American-British classification of myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) described refractory anemia with excess blasts (RAEB) in transformation (RAEB-T), including two subsets with <20% bone marrow (BM) blasts, which were reclassified as RAEB-2, the highest-risk MDS category in the 2001 World Health Organization classification. Those diagnostic criteria have been retained until now with nomenclature changes from RAEB-2 to “MDS with excess blasts-2” in 2017 and “MDS with increased blasts-2” (MDS-IB2) in 2022. The placement of Auer rods (AR) in the diagnostic classification has been controversial since its inception. This single-institution retrospective study analyzed 22 consecutive de novo MDS patients with <20% BM blasts originally diagnosed as RAEB-T only due to AR (n = 13) or ≥5% peripheral blood (PB) blasts ± AR (n = 9), applying the International Prognostic Scoring System (IPSS) and revised-IPSS (IPSS-R) for MDS. The AR-positive group showed 67% males, younger age (p = 0.01), median 8.4% (range 2.6–15.0) BM blasts, 58% normal (0% complex) karyotypes, and low/int-1 IPSS in all (100%) patients with <5% BM blasts compared with the ≥5% PB blast group with 55% females, median 10.5% (range 5.4–15.0) BM blasts, 67% abnormal (17% complex) karyotypes, and high/very high-risk IPSS-R (83%). Auer rod-positive MDS was associated (p = 0.01) with BM transplant referral/procedure but not (p = 0.88) with acute leukemia development. This small study suggests that Auer rod-positive MDS is likely distinct from Auer rod-negative MDS and genetically from MDS with ≥5% PB blasts. A critical analysis shows high-risk IPSS-R scores in previously reported patients with AR-positive MDS and <5% BM blasts, confirming that IPSS-R variables, not Auer rods, accounted for their adverse outcomes. Despite recent studies, genomic features of Auer rod-positive MDS patients with low blast percentages are unknown. No rationale is identified in this study and analysis for placing Auer rods as a diagnostic criterion for the highest-risk diagnostic category of MDS. Additional studies are warranted incorporating genomic analyses and other clinical, hematologic, and genetic variables, specifying BM blast percentages, to ascertain if Auer rods have any place in the diagnostic classification of MDS.

Authors: Ridolfi Maurizio
Published: December 2024

La conquista fascista de la sociedad civil implicó una compleja relación de herencia con el pasado y con la tradición asociativa ligada a las culturas políticas populares. El régimen fascista intentó una «nacionalización de las masas». Se creó una red capilar de organizaciones cara a recomponer los intereses sociales en forma corporativa (sindicato, cooperación, etc.), a través de un modelo fuertemente burocrático y jerarquizado. Ejemplo fue la actuación realizada por la Opera nazionale del dopolavoro, creada para la promoción del ocio y de actividades recreativo-culturales. El fascismo promovió también instituciones con el fin de organizar tanto a los jóvenes como a las mujeres, entrando en competencia con la Acción Católica. Estaban en juego la educación de los italianos y la construcción de una nueva clase política.

Businesses have started intense use of social media and its related platforms to engage with its stakeholders as a part of their top-level management strategy. These Social media platforms offer wide opportunities for marketing products and help in increasing the visibility of MSME products. The main objective of this study is to find the key factors or drivers that support Indian MSMEs in adopting social media marketing (SMM) strategies into the regular practice. Social media marketing has shown a considerable impact on business performance of MSMEs. To investigate the drivers that impact social media marketing adoption among MSMEs, a theoretical model has been built using multidimensional approach of TAM, UTAUT and TOE. The theoretical model was tested empirically via a survey of 140 MSMEs in Delhi, and the data analysis was performed using SPSS. The result highlights that adoption factors like perceived ease to use (PETU), perceived usefulness (PU), facility conditions (FC), social influence (SI) and individual factors (IND) affect social media marketing adoption among MSMEs.

The rapid flow of information in the digital age underscores the urgent need for critical literacy, particularly among Generation Z, to navigate, evaluate, and respond to diverse perspectives with discernment and responsibility. This study investigates the potential of Pancasila and Civic Education (PPKn) as a medium to cultivate critical literacy by embedding its values into educational practices. It examines the challenges educators face in integrating critical literacy into the PPKn curriculum and evaluates its impact on students' critical thinking skills. Utilizing a mixed-methods approach, the research incorporates qualitative interviews with educators and quantitative surveys of high school students to measure changes in their analytical and evaluative capacities. Findings indicate a notable enhancement in students’ ability to critically engage with socio-political issues, aligning their responses with the principles of Pancasila. The study also highlights the urgent need for innovative teaching methodologies and digital tools to optimize critical literacy outcomes. Ultimately, the research concludes that embedding critical literacy into Pancasila and Civic Education offers a transformative model for equipping Generation Z to become informed and responsible citizens. It emphasizes the importance of prioritizing critical literacy in curriculum development, ensuring it aligns with national values and addresses global challenges.

The components of variation of morphological features of the Qercus pubescens Willd.
population in the “Yagorlyk” reserve were studied in detail. It was found out that the population is
heterogeneous by the main morphological features - the number of leaf lobes, leaf length, leaf petiole length,
leaf apex length, characterized by average and significant variation values. It was also found that within the
population there are reliable differences between groups (syntaxons) in the number of leaf lobes, lengths of
leaf petioles and leaf apices. On the contrary, there is a significant similarity between variants within the
population in terms of leaf length, which is insufficient to categorize them into established intraspecific subdivisions in the modern sense.

Published: December 2024

Blue bream (Ballerus ballttrus) was first recorded in the Kuchurgan reservoir since its
transformation into a cooling reservoir of the Moldavian GRES. Blue bream got into the reservoir, most
likely as a result of stocking by the Ukrainian side. Further research is needed, which should be aimed at
studying the biology of blue bream and the dynamics of its population increase in a cooling reservoir, as well
as ways to preserve it.

In the present study, a 38-year-old woman with chief complaints of a sad mood, poor concentration, feelings of excessive guilt, and decreased interest in household activities. She was diagnosed with depressive disorders in the year 2021, and she was recommended to follow conventional medications. However, a few years later, during her relapse phase, she was referred to be admitted to JSS Nature Cure & Yoga Hospital with a specific protocol at the residential facility between May and June 2024. An integrative Yoga and Naturopathy (Y&N) treatment was administered for about three weeks, which included manipulative therapy, acupuncture, hydrotherapy, mud therapy, diet therapy, yoga therapy, and mind-body interventions. Results showed a better reduction in depression, and she has gained confidence in her social interactions. Patients reported improved quality of life (QoL) and mental status with no side effects. The results of this study indicate clinical significance for depression, and it suggests that integrative Y&N-based intervention can be a convenient strategy for depression. However, further studies are required to validate this effect.

Published: December 2024

The most encountered benign tumours of the uterus are Leiomyomas, also called Uterine fibroids. When symptomatic, they present with heavy menstrual bleeding, dysmenorrhoea, pressure symptoms etc. In Ayurvedic literature, this condition is similar to Asrigdara caused due to Garbhashayagranthi. Samprapti of Asrigdara involves raktadushti caused by pittakopa and that of Garbhashayagranthi involves dushita kaphavatadosha and mamsamedo dhathu. The conventional treatment involves hormonal therapies and hysterectomy. The reluctance to undergo hysterectomy in the reproductive years and the side effects associated with the prolonged use of hormonal therapies prompt women to seek alternate management for uterine fibroids. A 42-year-old woman with submucous fibroid presenting with heavy menstrual bleeding, shortened interval and advised hysterectomy approached for alternative ayurvedic management. The case was diagnosed as Asrigdara due to Garbhashayagranthi. The treatment first involved rakthasthambhana chikitsa followed by granthiharana and kaphavatadoshahara chikitsa. Medications were given for a period of 11 months, by which the menstrual cycles got regularised with moderate bleeding. A reduction in the size of the fibroid was also noted.
