Authors: Dharaiya Darshankumar , Varma Jagdish
Published: December 2024

This manuscript presents a pragmatic classification of motor abnormalities commonly observed in psychiatric practice. The classification is divided into quantitative and qualitative categories, with a focus on motor underactivity and overactivity. The quantitative category includes symptoms such as retardation, hyperactivity, obsessive slowness, and agitation. The qualitative category explores catatonic symptoms, including motoric immobility, extreme agitation, extreme negativism, posturing, and echo phenomenon. In addition, non-catatonic/neurological motor abnormalities are discussed, such as hypokinetic and hyperkinetic symptoms. The manuscript also highlights related concepts, including La-belle indifference. This classification provides a valuable framework for understanding and diagnosing motor abnormalities in psychiatric practice.

Published: December 2024

Melioidosis, caused by Burkholderia pseudomallei, is a severe infectious disease prevalent in tropical regions such as Southeast Asia and northern Australia, with an increasing incidence in South Asia, particularly India. The disease often goes undiagnosed due to nonspecific symptoms and limited medical awareness. This report presents the case of a 42-year-old male who died from complications following a head injury. An autopsy revealed melioidosis, with B. pseudomallei detected in blood cultures. The patient had a history of fever and loss of consciousness before his fatal incident, indicating a missed diagnosis. This case underscores the importance of considering melioidosis in differential diagnoses, especially in endemic regions, and the critical role of postmortem microbiology in identifying such infections. It highlights the need for heightened clinical awareness, improved diagnostic facilities, and comprehensive postmortem investigations to understand better and manage melioidosis. Enhanced recognition and early intervention could significantly reduce morbidity and mortality associated with this often-overlooked disease.

Effect of pH Modulation and Anaerobic Conditions on the Prolonged Storage of Red Blood Cells
Authors:   Department of Chemical Engineering, Texas Tech University, USA, González-Fernández Cristina
Published: December 2024

The cold storage of Red Blood Cells (RBCs) in preservative solutions during prolonged periods causes the deterioration of the RBC’s quality and function. Such storage lesion has crucial implications for the further use of stored RBC units, thus, developing storage solutions that enhance RBC preservation is of utmost importance. Progress in that field requires elucidating how the storage conditions impact the maintenance of RBC quality. In this work, we investigate the effect of inducing anaerobic conditions and modifying the pH, both individually and simultaneously, on the storage of RBCs. The Additive Solution-3 (AS-3) was selected for this analysis and the commercial enzyme EC-Oxyrase® was used for the first time to deoxygenate the storage buffer. RBC quality was assessed in terms of hemolysis (via RBC counts, Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin (MCH), and intracellular and free hemoglobin concentration), Mean Corpuscular Volume (MCV), average diameter, size distribution (including potential microvesiculation), and cell morphology, which were analyzed biweekly for 42 days. Our results reveal that RBC lesion is alleviated when the cells are stored at higher pH values, whereas the presence of EC-Oxyrase® seems to have a significant effect on the stored RBC units only at low pH conditions. The insights gained from this preliminary study may serve as a basis for significant advancements in developing novel preservative solutions for RBC storage.

Semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) possess unique electronic and optical properties, making them promising candidates for applications in light emitting diodes (LEDs), solar cells, bioimaging, and photocatalysis. Precise control over their size, shape, and chemical and electronic structure is crucial to ensure the desired functional properties and optimize device performance. However, challenges in QD synthesis and post-synthesis modification persist, especially in large-scale production. This study addresses the classification of QDs synthesized in a tubular flow reactor consisting of a mixture of the desired InP/ZnS core-shell QDs and QDs made from the shell material, i.e., here ZnS QDs formed as a byproduct during the ZnS shell formation step. The formation of nanoparticles from the shelling material introduces a heterogeneity in size and composition and affects the optical properties of the resulting QDs. To address this issue, we developed a size-selective agglomeration (SSA) technique by incrementally introducing ethanol as a poor solvent and classified the synthesized QDs into 13 distinct fractions. These 13 fractions sorted into 3 distinct groups: (i) larger InP/ZnS QDs, (ii) a combination of smaller InP/ZnS QDs and larger ZnS QDs, and (iii) predominant ZnS QDs with some very tiny InP/ZnS QDs. The comprehensive characterization of the fractions was conducted using UV-visible (UV-vis) absorption spectroscopy, photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy, high-resolution scanning transmission electron microscopy (HR-STEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDXS), total reflection X-ray fluorescence (TXRF), and analytical ultracentrifugation (AUC). We could demonstrate that our method effectively separated unwanted ZnS QDs from the target InP/ZnS QDs. In addition, the fractions enriched in smaller InP/ZnS QDs exhibited a higher photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) compared to the fractions with larger QDs. This demonstrates the efficacy of SSA in fine-tuning the composition of QD mixtures produced on a larger scale to improve their functional properties. In the future, this approach can pave the way towards a scalable two-dimensional classification process for such ultra-small nanoparticles by particle size and composition.

Published: December 2024

A visible light-mediated strategy has been developed for the unactivated C4 position of 3-methylene Oxindole to access 3,4-fused spirooxindoles via formal [4+2] cycloaddition without the need of pre-fucntionalization. The 3-methylene oxindoles, when exposed to visible light in the presence of catalytic amount CeCl3 under alkaline conditions, afforded the complex 3,4- fused spiro oxindole framework with four contiguous chiral centers. The protocol is highly chemo- and regio-selective by affording 3,4-fused spirooxindoles in moderate and good yields. The protocol also works smoothly under direct exposure to sunlight. It has been demonstrated that the method is also scalable on gram quantity. The synthetic strategy provides a new avenue for constructing complex molecular architectures with precision and efficiency.

Sorting algorithms are critical to various computer science applications, including database management, big data analytics, and real-time systems. While Heap Sort is a widely used comparison-based sorting algorithm, its efficiency significantly diminishes when dealing with data sets containing a high volume of duplicate values. To address this limitation, this paper introduces a modified Heap Sort algorithm optimized for duplicate-heavy data. The proposed modification detects and handles duplicate values more efficiently by reducing unnecessary comparisons and swaps at the root of the heap and restructuring the heap more strategically. Experimental results demonstrate that the modified Heap Sort achieves up to a 15% reduction in sorting time, a 30% decrease in the number of swaps, and a 10% reduction in comparisons when tested on data sets with varying levels of duplication. These improvements highlight the enhanced computational efficiency and scalability of the modified algorithm in duplicate-heavy data scenarios. This advancement offers significant potential for improving sorting performance in practical domains such as big data analytics, database operations, and real-time data processing.

Published: December 2024

: Cervical cancer originates in the cervix situated between the vagina and the bottom end of the uterus. It evolves gradually which begins with the appearance of aberrant cells in the cervical tissue. These aberrant cells might develop into cancer cells and migrate more into the cervix and adjacent tissues if they are not treated. Therefore, a patient's survival depends on rapid identification of cervical cancer. Various imaging modalities are widely used to identify cervical nodules as pre-cancer or cancer cells. But limited results were determined and takes more time and needs many skilled radiologists. To solve this problem, many Deep Learning (DL) frameworks have emerged in these decades for automatic cervical cancer detection and categorization. These algorithms can detect suspicious nodules early, improving patient outcomes and aiding physicians in decision-making, thereby reducing fatality risk. This study provides an in-depth analysis of many DL frameworks developed to recognize and categorize cervical cancer from various imaging modalities. Initially, different cervical cancer categorization systems designed by many researchers based on DL algorithms are briefly examined. Comparison research is carried out to comprehend the shortcomings of those algorithms and recommend an alternative method for accurately classifying cervical cancer in order to regulate worldwide morality rates.

Purpose: The research aims to provide additional insights to practitioners and professionals in the ṣukūk markets on its effectiveness in financing economic projects. It further aims to provide evidence-based information to the policymakers on the link between sovereign ṣukūk and infrastructure development using a case study of Nigeria's road sector ṣukūk. Methodology: In respect of methods, the research employed qualitative methods including document analysis and case study methods. Findings: The results showed that sovereign ṣukūk were economically and financially viable in financing infrastructure. Regarding the road infrastructure deficit, ṣukūk funded only 8.6% of the federal road's deficit. The ṣukūk projects covered 1,882 km, which represented 97.7% completion rate in a four-year period. This success was because the ṣukūk issuances were directly linked to project execution and completion. Otherwise, the instrument will not appeal to ethical investors. At the same time, ṣukūk benefits the country by ensuring project continuity. Research Limitations: The research is limited by short span time series data on sovereign ṣukūk whose issuance began in 2017. This constrained the authors from applying mixed method research. Practical and Social Implications: The research contributes to the empirical evidence on the practical utility of sovereign ṣukūk in a developing economy with limited fiscal space and limited infrastructural capacity. It highlights the significance of ethical financial instruments tied down to project implementation in Nigeria.

The cultivation path should focus on combining theoretical education with practical experience, creating campus culture and professional atmosphere, personalizing career guidance and career planning, cultivating social responsibility and craftsmanship spirit, etc., in order to meet the demand of society for high-quality technical and skilled talents and provide strong talent support for social and economic development.
Exploration of the Methods and Insights in the Introduction to Critique of Hegel’s Philosophy of Right
Authors: Gao Mingjun
Published: December 2024

Marx, as one of the founders of Marxism, experienced a significant transformation in his thought during the period of 1843–1844. The Introduction to Critique of Hegel’s Philosophy of Right (hereafter referred to as the Introduction) is one of Marx’s most representative works from this time. Lenin noted that this text, along with Marx’s On the Jewish Question, marks Marx’s transition from idealism and revolutionary democracy to materialism. In this renowned text, Marx offers a rational critique of the absolute authority of religion, articulates a vision for human emancipation, and envisages the possibility of free and comprehensive human development. During this intellectual shift, Marx absorbed the essence of German classical philosophy and, from a positivist perspective, began employing critical thinking and materialist expression. This enabled him to embark on a path of critique addressing both the religious and real social worlds. In the new era, systematically studying Marxist classic works allows for the exploration of their contemporary relevance. By aligning these classics with specific directions outlined in reports such as those from the 20th CPC Central Committee’s Third Plenary Session, the vitality of these works can be reinvigorated for the modern age.

Published: December 2024

This study aimed to provide a reference basis for the prevention and treatment of neonatal diseases in China by examining the incidence of neonatal diseases across three dimensions: trend, region, and gender. Using the 2021 Global Burden of Disease (GBD) database, data on the incidence rates of neonatal premature birth, neonatal encephalopathy due to birth asphyxia and trauma, hemolytic disease and other neonatal jaundice, and neonatal sepsis and other neonatal infections from 2012 to 2021 were collected. The incidence rates of neonatal diseases in China demonstrated a steady decline over the decade. The rates for the four categories of diseases decreased by 1.55%, 7.97%, 26.96%, and 26.53%, respectively. The average incidence rates for these disease categories in China were 16,522.28/10⁵, 849.15/10⁵, 434.16/10⁵, and 218.62/10⁵, respectively, which were 56.04%, 14.6%, 83.87%, and 23% lower than the global averages. Regarding gender, the risk of neonatal diseases was higher in males than in females. Male patients accounted for 56%, 60%, 55%, and 63% of cases for the four disease categories, exceeding the global male patient proportions. The findings indicate that while the incidence rates of neonatal diseases in China continue to decline steadily, there remains a significant gap compared with developed countries. Furthermore, the significantly higher incidence rates in male newborns warrant further investigation.

Published: December 2024

Bu çalışma ile Millî Eğitim Bakanlığı taşra teşkilatında görev yapan il- ilçe yöneticilerinden şube müdürlerine uygulanan zorunlu rotasyonun yöneticiler ile eğitim-öğretime etkileri ortaya konularak, sorunlara ilişkin getirilen çözüm önerileri üzerinde durulmuştur. Bu amaç doğrultusunda, şube müdürlerinin rotasyon algılarının örgüt kültürü içerisinde etkilerinin; mevzuat hükümleri başta olmak üzere görev süresi, cinsiyet, coğrafi şartlar gibi demografik özellikler dikkate alınarak anlamlı farklılaşıp farklılaşmadığı araştırılmıştır. Şube müdürlerinin eğitim yönetici olarak rotasyona ilişkin algılarını incelemek amacıyla dört bölümden ve toplam 40 sorudan oluşan soru temelli değerlendirme çalışması hazırlanmış ve ülke genelinde il ve ilçe millî eğitim müdürlüklerinde görev yapan 303 şube müdürlerine uygulanmıştır. Çalışmada verilerin analizi SPSS 24.0 ile yapılmış, tüm soruların frekansları hesaplanmıştır. Bununla birlikte likert tipindeki sorular için ortalama puan da hesaplanmıştır. Çalışmada likert sorularına katılım düzeyinin demografik değişkenlere göre karşılaştırılması için, ANOVA ve Kruskal Wallis testi, t testi ve Mann-Whitney U testleri ile sorular arasındaki ilişkileri belirlemek için Pearson momentler çarpımı korelasyon testi de kullanılmıştır. Anket sorularının alt boyutlarının güvenirlikleri Cronbach Alfa değerleri kullanılarak analiz edilmiştir. Araştırma sonucuna göre taşrada görev yapan şube müdürlerinin çoğu zorunlu yer değişikliği uygulamasını mevzuat açısından olumsuz değerlendirmiştir. Bunun en büyük nedeni ise zorunlu yer değişikliğinin yönetmelikte var olmasına rağmen sadece taşrada görev yapan şube müdürlerine uygulanmasıdır. Ayrıca şube müdürlerince uygulamada kullanılan hizmet bölgeleri ve hizmet sürelerinde adaletli bir dağılımın olmadığı, mazeret beyan ederek uygulama dışında kalan veya öncelik hakkı elde eden yöneticilerin diğer yöneticiler tarafından olumlu karşılanmadığı, tercihler alınırken belirli kriterler doğrultusunda hizmet bölgelerine yapılan atamaların uygun görülmediği sonucuna da ulaşılmıştır. Zorunlu yer değişikliğinin etkilerine bireysel olarak bakıldığında ise şube müdürleri, yer değiştirmenin her ne kadar kişisel ve kültürel yönden kendilerini geliştirmesine ve mesleki anlamda performanslarını artırmasına katkı sağladığını “kısmen düşünseler” de çoğunluğu ekonomik yük oluşturduğunu, aile ve sosyal hayatlarını olumsuz etkilediğini belirtmişlerdir.  Zorunlu yer değişikliğinin etkilerine kurumsal açıdan bakıldığında ise şube müdürleri rotasyonun kısmen kurumum işleyişine olumlu katkı sağladığı ve dinamizmi artırdığına katılsalar da kamu çalışanı olmanın verdiği sorumlulukla her yerde aynı hassasiyetle çalışılması gerektiğini düşündüklerinden “çoğunlukla” kuruma katkısının olmayacağını ifade etmişlerdir.
Bu çalışmada “bölge hizmetine bağlı yer değiştirme uygulaması” yerine “zorunlu yer değiştirme” veya “rotasyon” kavramları da kullanılmıştır.
Jung ve bilinçaltına dair öğretisi

İsviçreli psikolog Carl Gustav Jung'un psikanalitik teorisi ile Freud'un psikanaliz teorisi arasındaki benzerlikleri görmek mümkün olsa da psikanalitik teori, bilinçaltı açıklaması acısından Freud'un teorisinden farklılık göstermektedir.
Jung'un çalışmalarının ilk yıllarında Freud'un öğrencisi olduğu ve belli bir süre yakın işbirliği içinde oldukları bilinmektedir. Fikir ayrılıkları ve yollarının ayrılması bilinçaltıyla ilgiliydi. Jung bunu “Bilinçaltının Psikolojisi'nde” (Jung, 2001) yazdı ve Freud'un panseksüelliğine karşı çıktı.
Freud'un panseksüel pozisyonunun aksine Jung, bilinçaltının "bastırılmış cinsel ve saldırgan eğilimlerden" daha büyük bir içeriğe sahip olduğunu savundu. Jung, eros'a ek olarak bilinçaltında tanrısallığın ve tüm insanların ortak bir yönünün bulunduğunu belirtir ve buna "yaratıcı yaşam enerjisi"  adını vermiştir.
Bilinçaltı alanının kişiye özel olduğunu kabul etmeyen Jung, kişiliğin yapısında daha derinlerde var olan kolektif bilinçaltına ilişkin bir fikir ortaya atmıştır. Jung, kolektif bilinçaltının en güçlü ve etkili psişik sistem olduğunu ve patolojik durumlarda egoyu ve kişisel bilinçaltını kapsadığını gösterdi. Jung, kolektif bilinçaltının ilkel zihinsel imgeler olan arketiplerden oluştuğuna inanıyordu. Arketip, önemli bir duygusal unsura sahip evrensel bir düşünce biçimidir. Arketipler doğuştan gelen fikirler ve izlenimlerdir. Benlik arketipi Jung'un teorisinde daha önemlidir. Bu arketip çevresindeki unsurları birleştirir ve kişiliğin özünü oluşturur. Ruhun tam bütünleşmesi sağlandığında kişi birlik, bütünlük ve uyumu hisseder. Jung'a göre öz, insan yaşamının temel amacıdır.
Makalenin amacı  K. G. Jung'un bilinçaltına ilişkin görüşleri ve bilime kazandırdığı arketiplerden en önemlisi olan benlik/kendilik arketipini (self – İng.) incelemek ve onun zihinsel gelişimdeki yerini ve rolünü göstermektir.

Reklam, kurum ya da kuruluşların ürettikleri mal, hizmet ya da düşünceyi hedef kitleleri ile buluşturdukları insan odaklı iletişim eylemidir. Pazarlama disiplini kapsamında konumlandırılır. Günümüzde hedef kitleye reklamsız ulaşmanın son derece zor ve riskli olacağı söylenebilir. Tarihsel gelişimine bakıldığında sanayi devrimiyle birlikte önemli hız kazandığı görülmektedir. Sanayi devrimi ve sonrasında gelen seri üretimin yarattığı rekabet ortamı reklamın gelişimini hızlandırmış ve gerekliliğini beslemiştir. Reklamın başarısında rekabet önemli yer tutarken rekabetin başarısı da önemli ölçüde yaratıcı reklam fikirlerinin hedef kitleyi yakalamasına bağlıdır. Bu nedenle reklamın başarısı için yaratıcı beyinlerin desteklenmesi ve teşvik edilmesi büyük önem taşımaktadır. Bu noktada yarışmalar vasıtasıyla yaratıcı reklam çalışmalarının ödüllendirilmesi başta yaratıcı ekipler olmak üzere, hedef kitle ve marka değeri açısından son derece önemlidir. Bu makalede amaç Türkiye’de faaliyet gösteren yaratıcılık odaklı reklam yarışmalarını araştırarak, kapsamları ve kategorileri hakkında bilgi vermektir. Yarışmaların arşivlerinden seçilen ödüllü bir çalışma ile de yarışmanın bakış açısı örneklenmiştir.

Addiction is a significant public health issue in Canada, with far-reaching impacts on individuals, families, and communities. In Vancouver, fentanyl addiction stands out as one of the most common and pressing challenges. Fentanyl, an opioid notorious by its street name "down," presents grave risks to users. Motivational interviewing therapy emerges as a widely employed approach for addiction treatment, fostering a client-centered relationship conducive to addressing individualized needs effectively. However, the success of motivational therapy hinges on the readiness of clients for change. This study aims to delineate the scope of addiction issues in Vancouver, Canada, particularly concerning fentanyl addiction. The study aims to highlight the undeniable effects of the fentanyl crisis in Vancouver and the approaches frontline workers need to take by examining field studies in the literature and conducting an interview with a frontline worker in addiction services. By exploring the effects of motivational interviewing therapy, the study seeks to. elucidate its benefits and limitations in mitigating the acute physical and emotional distress associated with fentanyl use. Drawing insights from frontline experiences, there is a need for practical guidance on further enhancing addiction treatment approaches, with a focus on improving therapeutic efficacy and responsiveness to the evolving needs of individuals affected by fentanyl addiction. The prevailing system often assesses individuals primarily through a productivity lens, neglecting their inherent humanity. Therefore, a shift towards a more holistic, long-term approach is imperative to address the root causes of addiction effectively.
