Published: January 2024

Cancer is a very important disease that has existed for a very long time in the history of humanity and poses a great threat to humanity today. Today, cancer remains a global health problem. The scientific world has introduced many innovative treatment approaches, but due to the complexity of cancer cells and their resistance to treatment, significant progress has been made in the fight against cancer, but a definitive cure has not yet been found. Boswellia serrata has been used in many parts of the world for a variety of ailments from ancient times to the present day, comes from the Burseraceae family and is commonly known as white gum. B. serrata is a resin tree with very small and few leaves, as it is a plant species that grows as a small tree or shrub 4-6 meters high in the desert. In this study, B.serrata resin was obtained commercially in Gaziantep province and obtained by extraction in methanol and hexane solvents. The cytotoxic activity of B. serrata resin extract was determined by MTT Assay (3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide). Apoptotic/necrotic activity was determined by double staining (Hoechst 33342 and propidium iodide). Human breast cancer (MCF7) and human liver cancer (HepG2) cell lines were used in these experiments.

Authors: Bonono Chipeta Wezi , Adaviriku Malik Abdullahi
Published: January 2024

Blockchain technology offers a promising way to improve business processes by providing a secure and transparent transaction platform. However, using this technology brings its own set of challenges, especially when trying to balance user privacy with legal and regulatory needs. This article explores the challenges of keeping user information private, adhering to regulatory frameworks, and fulfilling legal requirements on the blockchain. A key point in this research is the challenge of keeping or maintaining confidentiality while being transparent. The article also discusses the issues of applying legal rules to a system not controlled by one central authority, the risks of privacy and security breaches, and the need to follow data protection laws. The article highlights how some blockchain-based companies have tackled these challenges, mainly through smart blockchain management and innovative technology, by looking at real-world examples from major companies like IBM, Bitpay, Ripple, and Coinbase. The systematic literature review (SLR) methodology involved reviewing literature from the past 15 years (2008-2023) from trusted sources like Google Scholar, ACM Digital Library, IEEE, Springer, and Science Direct. The findings indicate that cutting-edge technologies prioritizing privacy, such as zero-knowledge proofs, ring signatures, and encryption methods, would enable Bitcoin (BTC) platform operations to maintain or balance privacy and transparency. Furthermore, the study indicates the importance of clear privacy guidelines, adhering to relevant regulations, working closely with regulators and law enforcement, and educating users. In summary, it is crucial to approach blockchain carefully, prioritizing user privacy while meeting all legal and regulatory requirements.

Neoliberalismo, salud y pueblos indígenas en el Perú: Análisis de contenido de la Política Sectorial de Salud Intercultural (PSSI)
Authors: Hidalgo Lazo Marycielo Sharon
Published: January 2024

Este artículo ofrece un análisis de contenido de la Política Sectorial de Salud Intercultural (SPPI) aprobada en 2016, considerada la herramienta más relevante en salud intercultural en el Perú actualmente. Se examina esta política en el marco del multiculturalismo neoliberal, el cual, si bien reconoce las diversidades culturales, lo hace dentro de los límites de la dominación de la diversidad. Esta perspectiva teórico-política resalta el énfasis excesivo en la diferencia cultural en detrimento de otros aspectos como las estructuras sociales que condicionan la salud de los pueblos indígenas en el Perú. Finalmente, se exponen los resultados que revelan los lineamientos ideológicos que estructuran la política, resaltando su ahistoricidad, la visión biomédica dominante y su concepción imaginaria de horizontalidad en un contexto de relaciones de poder.

ACQUIRED MOTOR DISABILITY AND RESILIENCE IN ADULTS SURVIVORS OF SEVERE TRAFFIC ACCIDENTS: A RETROSPECTIVE CLINICAL AND PROJECTIVE STUDY
Authors: Soumaya DRIOUECHE Aicha
Published: January 2024

The researcher addressed the study of evaluating the context of resilience in adults who, for over three (03) years, have experienced a severe traffic accident resulting in complete lower paralysis. Drawing on psychoanalytic exploration of resilience on one hand, and clinical and psychodynamic analysis of acquired motor disability in adults on the other hand, the concept of resilience was considered within the adopted definition as a dynamic context culminating in the integration of compounded shock (facing real threat of death and the shock linked to self-loss). This is followed by a rebound and identity reconstruction, ultimately leading to the resumption of life in a new direction, intertwined with a new body. Emphasis was placed on the idea that the context is influenced by the continuous interaction between each participant's internal psychological resources and external resources represented by their family and social environment, which they might have access to. To achieve this, the researcher resorted to qualitative analysis, employing semi-structured clinical interviews and projective techniques, including the Rorschach test and the Thematic Apperception Test (T.A.T). Furthermore, certain dimensions of psychological functioning were considered, such as the breadth of imaginative space, mentalization’s quality, the adaptive use of defense mechanisms and finally, the process of identity reconstruction. On the other hand, the external reality was approached through the potential encounter of the participants with a supporting person that assists them in regaining their re-narcissization. The results unveiled variations in the paths each participant took towards achieving resilience. This was linked to the diverse and effective interplay between their inner psychological reality and individual resources. The presence of a good resilience caregiver was noted to assist in surpassing the traumatic experience. A few participants displayed superficial resilience, while the results also demonstrated a diversity in the meaning assigned to the compounded traumatic event,including divine punishment, predestination, self-validation, and the discovery of new meaning in life

Published: January 2024

In an environment characterized by fragile prospects and the predominance of downside risks, the issue of organizational resilience is receiving increasing attention in the field of management research. Indeed, the repercussions of uncertain reality prompt us to investigate the role of CSR in the development of organizational resilience of Moroccan companies. In this regard, the ultimate goal of this communication is to examine the relationship between CSR and organizational resilience in the Moroccan context. Our papers examines the effect of CSR determinants on the three dimensions of organizational resilience of companies, while highlighting the moderating role of the size of the company in question. An empirical study conducted on 80 Moroccan companies allowed us to confirm the significant causal relationship between CSR and organizational resilience in our sample, and showed that there is a significant and positive moderation effect between CSR and only the absorptive capacity of the surveyed companies. The results of our investigation have allowed us to derive managerial implications and highlight the importance of a societal orientation of companies to confront the future environment.

Neurological injury to the areas responsible for language comprehension and production can lead to its disruption or even loss, resulting in what is known in neuropsychology as Broca's aphasia. The clinical profile of individuals with Broca's aphasia generally exhibits a specific deficit called "Broca's non-fluent aphasia," characterized by word retrieval difficulties and the inability to produce the target word when required. These impairments involve linguistic disturbances that affect levels of the lexical-semantic processing system for words. Therefore,the aim of this scientific paper is to explore the manifestations of visual cognitive processing of images in individuals with Broca's aphasia during picture naming, using a neuropsycholinguistic approach to lexical-semantic representation and word retrieval. Additionally, we aim to present the most important compensatory strategies adopted by individuals with Broca's aphasia to overcome naming failures. Finally, we will conclude by offering a range of suggestions that can enhance diagnostic procedures and treatment methods.

Published: January 2024

Through this research, the researcher seeks to use the International Financial Reporting Standard (IFRS13) fair value accounting on the financial assets of the merged companies before and after the merger, and then demonstrate its use on the financial assets before and after the merger, applied research in the International Islamic Bank (joint stock company) i.e. merger The International Islamic Bank with the First Capital Islamic Bank). To find out the use of the International Financial Reporting Standard (IFRS13) fair value accounting for financial assets, the detailed financial statements of the merged companies represented by the International Islamic Bank (a joint stock company) were used. The problem of the research was the existence of the phenomenon of inflation, which led to a reconsideration of the use of the historical cost method and the search for an accounting alternative for measurement that reflects the price changes realistically for the different market conditions, which generated the need for the merged companies to use an alternative to the historical cost basis based on the International Financial Reporting Standard for fair value ( IFSR13) as a value that reflects the values of the market elements at the time of preparing the financial statements that meet the needs of the many parties used for this data. The importance of the research using fair value accounting in the accounting application and the extent to which the community of the merging companies and their dealers of investors, auditors and clients benefit from the activities of the merging companies. Through this study, a number of conclusions were reached, the most important of which is the use of the international standard (IFSR13) fair value accounting for the merged companies, which leads to the preparation of financial statements that honestly and fairly express the result of the activity and the different results of the financial position, which is reflected in rational decision-making, and the increase in the amount of financial assets as a result Merger and the use of criterion measurements by measuring financial assets based on the declared prices in the market, and the researcher recommends to the management of the merging companies in Iraq to use the standard (IFSR13) in order to provide appropriate information for users of the financial statements for the purpose of making economic decisions that reflect the economic reality.

Lightning is one of the natural disasters that cause significant financial losses and even fatalities. Therefore, it is necessary to understand the characteristics of lightning and related factors take appropriate preventive and mitigation measures. This work investigated the influence of aerosols and atmospheric thermodynamic factors on lightning in Java Island using 16 years of data (1998 - 2013) from the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) satellite. Aerosol data were obtained from the Modern Era Retrospective Analysis for Research and Applications version 2 (MERRA-2). Furthermore, convective available potential energy (CAPE) and potential temperature data were taken from the fifth-generation ECMWF atmospheric reanalysis (ERA-5) data. The intensity of lightning strikes in the western part of Java, such as Jakarta and Banten, is higher than in the eastern part, corresponding to the distribution pattern of aerosols, especially sulfate aerosols, sea salt aerosols, and black carbon aerosols. Sea salt aerosols have an inverse relationship with lightning, as these coarse-sized aerosols tend to inhibit convection. An increase in CAPE and potential temperature generally leads to higher lightning intensity. However, in cases where CAPE values are extremely high, such as in Jakarta, the intensity of lightning decreases. A similar pattern can be observed with potential temperature. An inverse relationship between lightning and potential temperature is observed in regions at higher elevations. The peak time for CAPE and potential temperature coincide with the peak intensity of lightning, which typically occurs during the rainy season, while the peak of AOD occurs earlier, during the pre-monsoon (September-October-November). The highest values of sea salt AOD are observed during the dry season (June-July-August) when lightning is minimal. These variations in peak times are particularly evident in the western regions of Java, where AOD values are high. The findings of this study can aid in lightning disaster mitigation efforts on Java Island.

NaV1.7, a voltage-gated sodium channel, induces chronic pain. Current research on the discovery of inhibitors against NaV1.7 is advancing with the hope of treating chronic pain conditions in patients suffering from various diseases. However, to characterize NaV1.7 and inhibitor interactions, a higher yield of expression is required to obtain sufficient protein. Molecular cloning of hNaV1.7 was done using the homologous recombination method in our novel S. cerevisiae-based D-cryptÔ platform. The platform was designed for the high-yield production of ‘difficult-to-express’ proteins (DTE-Ps) up to 500 L. The changes in the cell membrane potential of hNaV1.7 were determined using a fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) assay with tetracaine (hNaV1.7 inhibitor). Expression analysis of hNaV1.7 showed 2 bands of size 250 and 280 kDa that were absent in untransfected yeast cells. Immunofluorescence images revealed the presence of hNaV1.7 on the membrane of hNaV1.7-expressing yeast cells. Tetracaine exhibited concentration-dependent inhibition of the FRET ratio, with the order of potency (IC50 = 0.46 µM) being approximately the same as previously reported, suggesting the functionality of the channel protein expressed in the D-cryptÔ platform. Cloning of NaV1.7 in the D-cryptÔ platform will help to scale up the production of channel proteins, which will ultimately help in the structural and functional characterization of the binding interactions between toxins and the NaV1.7 channel to identify more specific NaV1.7 inhibitors.
HIGHLIGHTS

7 is a voltage-gated sodium channel and induces chronic pain
7 inhibitors can advance the treatment of chronic pain associated with various diseases
To characterize interaction of Nav1.7 with its inhibitors, higher yield of the NaV1.7 is required
D-crypt is a platform designed for the high-yield production of ‘difficult-to-express’ proteins (DTE-Ps) up to 500 L
Successful cloning of NaV1.7 in D-crypt platform suggest that the D-crypt platform is a suitable platform for expressing full-length functionally active hNaV1.7 channel at larger scale. It will further aid in the screening of NaV1.7 inhibitors
