The review presents the results of materials on the evaluation of efficacy and safety of adjuvants, as well as vaccine complexes with adjuvants at the stages of their synthesis and preclinical studies based on international recommendations. Adjuvants in the composition of immunobiological pre-drugs form a pronounced local innate and long-term adaptive immunity. It is currently known that the nature and origin of adjuvants used in vaccine preparations are different. Adjuvants are classified according to their mechanism of action, origin and physicochemical properties. The final form of a vaccine may contain one or more adjuvants in its composition. The binding of the adjuvant to the antigen is the key to the production of an adjuvanted vaccine. Due to the diversity of the nature of adjuvants, their physicochemical properties and mechanisms of action, as well as the strains included in adjuvanted vaccine formulations, planning and conducting studies is a complex process.

Authors: - Rishank Gupta
Published: September 2024

Influencer marketing has become a transformative force in modern marketing, significantly influencing brand perception and consumer behaviour by leveraging the trust and credibility of individuals with substantial online followings. This strategy utilises platforms such as Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, and Twitter, where influencers engage in activities like sponsored posts, product reviews, brand collaborations, and live streams. The personal connections that influencers maintain with their audiences make them powerful advocates for brands, enhancing brand awareness, favorability, and purchase intent. This paper examines existing literature to understand the impact of influencer marketing on brand perception, highlighting the roles of influencer credibility, authenticity, and the nature of influencer-brand relationships. Despite challenges like measuring ROI and maintaining authenticity, influencer marketing effectively increases brand visibility and consumer trust. Future research should focus on long-term effects, cultural nuances, and the integration of AI and VR to optimise influencer strategies.

UV radiation and photodamage can cause unwanted skin ageing and wrinkles on the face.
There are currently no practical methods for delaying the ageing process of the skin. A highly concentrated cosmetic product is a face serum containing aloe Vera, glycerine, and honeybee venom. Aloe Vera serum has the capacity to enter deeper layers of the skin and absorb quickly, providing both immediate cosmetic benefits and psychological peace of mind. Aloe Vera gel is frequently used as a wound healing, anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial, and anti-fungal treatment for various skin diseases, sunburns, small cuts, and bug bites. Bee venom is a protective poison that the bees create; it has been shown to improve collagen synthesis and blood flow. The globule size, consistency, pH, and physiochemical characteristics of the face serum were assessed. The stability study's findings demonstrated that globule size, homogeneity, and visual appearance were unchanged.

Published: September 2024

The economies of many developing countries have grown significantly, with many institutions in these countries facing resource constraints. This has resulted in a shift from routine business operations to Management-by-Project (MBP) to effectively deploy organisational resources to produce value and maintain a competitive advantage.
As such, the study aimed to investigate the impact of management-by-project in some selected banks. A cross-sectional study design was employed with a sample size of 151 employees from several Ghanaian banks. A PLS-SEM technique was employed to investigate the dependencies between MBP with Scoping (SCO), Scheduling (TIM), and Costing (COS) as its characteristics (independent variables) and banking goals (loan performance and enhanced customer experience) as dependent variables with improved operational efficiency (moderating the relationships) and regulatory compliance (mediating the relationships).
The study found that Improved Operational Efficiency (IOE) has a direct relationship with Non-Performing Loans (NPL). Furthermore, both COS and TIM were found to be positively and significantly connected to Improved Customer Experience (ECE), with TIM also being positively and significantly related to NPL.
Additionally, it was discovered that Regulatory Compliance (REC) positively moderates the relationship between SCO and NPL but had insignificant associations with TIM and NPL, as well as COS and NPL.
The study emphasizes the importance of REC in reducing NPL. In an area with scarce information, this study offers a new and original perspective on the relationship between TIM and NPL in the banking industry, and the function of REC in moderating SCO and NPL.

Authors: - MY MHAMED AZIZ
Published: September 2024

Long ago, the university was conceived as an autonomous institution from its socio-economic context. However, due to its privileged position in the production and dissemination of knowledge produced through various research activities, it plays a crucial role in responding to the changes currently experienced by economies. Today, it is called upon more than ever to redefine its missions and to fully play its role as a key actor in economic and social development at both local and national levels.
Recently, the Moroccan university has been subject to a new legal framework in our country, assigning it the possibility of socio-economic development through the economic exploitation of the knowledge produced by its research activities. Therefore, this paper aims to empirically explore this issue of economic valorization of university research through a case study.

Refrigeration compressors powered by direct current electrical energy have been banished to mobile refrigeration systems, where batteries are the source of power. Mobile refrigeration and portable cooling have been re-energized creating new opportunities for innovative appliances that do not rely on grid power. These portable refrigeration systems may be applied to medicinal transport kits which have capabilities to cool vaccines. Vaccines are susceptible to heat and light. In this case, they require low storage temperature that would range between 2°C to 8°C. The primary aim of this study is to make use of a mini rotary compressor that will be used for a medical transport kit which can cool vaccines in transit to remote and mountainous off grid areas. The compressor is fitted into a vapor compression refrigeration system using tetraflouroethane as refrigerant. The system used a dc rotary compressor with 56.0 mm in diameter, 78.0 mm in height, and weighs 600.0 grams. The rotary compressor has a rolling piston design with a displacement of 1.40 milliliters and is powered by a high-torque brushless 24V DC motor. The design is very small, lightweight, and relatively high in cooling effect. The rotary compressor is powered by a battery and controlled with a potentiometer to vary the angular velocity. It was observed that the optimal cooling effect for vaccine kit operating the system is with the 3,000 rpm and with the capillary tube hydraulic diameter of 0.91 mm. For efficient performance, this design is adaptable to variable speed operation up to 6,000 rpm.

Authors: - Anindita Dey
Published: September 2024

An Analytical Framework for Enhancing Fact-Checking Mechanisms in the “Era of Digital Misinformation” addresses the urgent issue of misinformation in the digital age, which undermines public trust and distorts democratic processes. The research highlights the complex nature of digital misinformation, including both deliberate disinformation and unintentional misinformation, and examines how social media algorithms exacerbate the spread of false content by prioritizing sensationalism over factual accuracy. Clickbait headlines, designed to attract attention and drive traffic, further contribute to the proliferation of misleading information, prioritizing engagement over content integrity. To combat these challenges, the study proposes a comprehensive framework for improving fact-checking processes. This framework integrates technological innovations such as artificial intelligence and machine learning to automate and enhance the detection of false information. It also emphasizes the importance of digital literacy and media education to empower individuals to critically assess information. Transparency and accountability in fact-checking organizations are stressed to build public trust, while collaboration between fact-checkers, social media platforms, and researchers is encouraged to standardize practices. Additionally, the study advocates for real-time fact-checking, especially during high-stakes situations like elections or public health crises, to curb the spread of misinformation. By addressing these areas, the proposed framework aims to enhance the resilience and effectiveness of fact-checking mechanisms, adapting to the evolving landscape of digital media. Through a combination of technological advancements, educational efforts, and collaborative approaches, the study seeks to foster a more credible and trustworthy information environment.

Authors: - Namrata Thakur , - Kalpana Singh , - Shriram Lahauriya
Published: September 2024

In the present study, we used monthly data from the Grouped Solar Flare Index (GSF) and cosmic ray intensity (CRI) during solar cycles 22 to 24 in our correlative study. There is a strong and positive association between these three solar indices. We have employed sunspot numbers and clustered solar flares as trustworthy solar metrics. "The running cross-correlation" approach has been used in a comprehensive correlative analysis. Using statistical and correlative research, we find a strong negative association between solar activity and cosmic rays. Our findings corroborate the previous observations made for solar cycles 18 to 20. Compared to other solar activity indices, the observed cosmic ray modulation during these eras demonstrates why the (GSF) is a more appropriate solar activity measure than sunspot counts. When the most suitable solar activity index (GSF) is applied, the impacts are shown to be noticeably different in the four solar cycles 22 to 24, which calls for more short-term research. Furthermore, compared to other solar activity indicators, Earth's temperature is observed to follow decade changes in galactic cosmic ray flux and solar cycle duration more closely. The primary conclusion is that Earth's atmospheric conditions are influenced by the heliosphere's average state.

Objective: Determination of the frequency of pathological cardiotocography in laboring women with high-riskpregnancies and to compare perinatal outcomes with and without pathological CTG among them.Study Design: Comparative cross-sectional study.Place and Duration of Study: The study was conducted at the Gynecology Department, Combined MilitaryHospital (CMH) Lahore, Pakistan from March 2023 to September 2023.Methods: A total 75 women with high-risk pregnancies were included in this cross-sectional comparative study.Women were selected by consecutive nonprobability sampling techniques. Adverse perinatal outcomes wereassessed in terms of stillbirth, cesarean section, low Apgar score, neonatal mortality, and morbidity. StatisticalPackage for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 25 was used for data analysis. Quantitative variables like age, parity,gestational age, and Apgar score were presented as mean± SD. Frequency and percentage were used forqualitative variables like high-risk illness, pathological CTG finding, cesarean section, stillbirth, neonatalmortality, and neonatal intensive care unit admission. Two groups were compared by using Chi-square test.Data stratification was done for age and gestational age. P-value ≤0.05 was considered as significant.Results: A mean age of 28.0±4.1 years was found in included women. Pathological CTG was found in 28 cases(37.3%). The adverse perinatal outcome was found significantly higher in a group with pathological CTG(P≤0.005).Conclusion: The relationship and frequency of pathological CTG in high-risk pregnancies should be timelydetermined to get good maternal and fetal outcomes. Women with pathological CTG, are at great risk ofcaesarean section with rising trends of low Apgar score at birth, increased rate of NICU admission, andmortality.

Bu çalışmada mimari araştırma yöntemlerinin uygulama ile kurdukları ilişki dereceleri uygulama odaklı ve uygulamaya dayalı kavramları üzerinden tartışılmış ve tasarım temelli düşüncenin tabanını oluşturan yaratıcı sürece ne derece yakın oldukları incelenmiştir. Bu sayede çalışma, mimari araştırmalarda, tasarım uygulamasına yönelik bilgi üretiminin temel bir faaliyeti olan yaratıcılığın yerini sorgulamaktadır. Groat ve Wang’in (2013) Architectural Research Methods isimli kitabında tanımladığı yedi yöntemin ilişkilerine göre sistematize edilen şekil üzerinden, geçirgen ilişkilerle analiz edilen mimari araştırma yöntemleri, ulusal ve uluslararası ölçekte tamamlanmış doktora tezleri üzerinden analitik olarak incelenmiştir. Çalışmanın sonucunda, incelenen tezlerden yapılan çıkarımlarla araştırma yöntemlerinin uygulama ile olan ilişkileri önerilen yeni bir ölçekle değerlendirilmiş ve tüm bu analizlerden elde edilen verilerle yaratıcılık bağlamında yeni bir kategorizasyon sunulmuştur. Önerilen bu çerçeve, tasarım temelli araştırma yöntemlerini kullanan araştırmacılara araştırmaları/projeleri ile nasıl ilişki kurabileceklerine dair yeni bir farkındalık ve çalışmaları için uygun kombinasyonlara dair öneri sağlayabilmektedir. Araştırma yöntemleri, uygulama ve yaratıcılık arasındaki etkileşime odaklanan bu çalışma mimari araştırma alanındaki bilgiye katkıda bulunmayı amaçlamaktadır.

Günümüzde hızlı nüfus artışı, geç kalınmış koruma anlayışı kültürel, doğal, siyasi vb. sebeplerden dolayı tarihi kent merkezleri niteliksiz kentsel mekânlara dönüştüğü görülmektedir. Bu sebeple çalışmanın amacı tarihte önemli bir konuma sahip olan fakat gününüzde bu önemi büyük bir ölçüde kaybetmiş olan Harput tarihi kent merkezininim dönemsel olarak mekânsal özelliklerin nasıl değiştiği belirlemektir. Bu amaç doğrultusunda literatür taraması yapılarak çalışma alanı ile ilgili genel bilgiler ve geçirmiş olduğu farklı dönemlere ait haritalar elde edilmiştir. Elde edilen bu haritalar altlık olarak kullanılarak, çalışma alanının mekânsal analizleri Space Syntax yöntemi aracılığıyla irdelenmiştir. Elde edilen veriler ışığında, belirlenen bu haritalar bütüncül olarak değerlendirilmiş ve alana ait mekânsal sorunlar belirlenmiştir. Bu belirlemeler neticesinde öneri segment haritası oluşturulmuştur. Oluşturulan segment haritası DepthmapX programı aracılığıyla analiz edilmiştir. Yapılan öneri segmentlerin analiz sonuçları mevcut analiz sonuçları ile karşılaştırılarak, önerilerin çalışma alanına katkıları tartışılmıştır. Çalışmanın sonucunda; Harput Tarihi Kent Merkezi için geliştirilen öneriler sonrasında, aks düzeyinde bütünleşme değerlerinde yaklaşık %20, erişilebilirlik değerinde ise %39 artış sağlanmıştır.
