Authors: Ahmed Hamza Ahmed  , Awatif Saber Jasima  , Saif Khalel Jasim
Published: December 2024

In this work, the pulsed laser ablation technique was used, which is considered a good and distinctive method. Gold nanoparticles (AuNP) were prepared using an Nd-YAG laser with specific parameters, wavelength 1064 nm, constant ablation energy 1000 mJ, frequency 1 Hz, and different number of pulses (300, 600, and 900 pulse/sec). Deionized water was used as the medium liquid. The purpose of this study was to examine the change in these parameters on AuNP using a variety of Xrd, FESEM, Uv-Vis, force-hardness, and compression measurements. The pure cubic crystal structure of gold nanoparticles was analyzed using XRD. Subsequent FESEM images (average diameters 78.07nm, 49.15nm, 37.67nm) indicate that the particles had highly spherical and quasi-spherical shapes. Using ultraviolet analysis, the absorption band of gold nanoparticles was found and the wavelength was (518, 519, 524) nanometers, respectively. There were three different power gaps (1.895, 2.005, and 2.084) eV. In addition, mechanical property tests were conducted, where 2 ml of gold nanoparticles were mixed with (3 grams) of traditional dental filling. The hardness value increased by (3%). The results also showed an increase in the stress and strain value and an increase in Young’s modulus. Hence, an increase in the compressive strength. This indicates that AuNP affects the mechanical properties and enhances their effectiveness.
Output tracking for a 1-D wave equations with spatially varying coefficients and subject to unknown disturbances
Authors: Jia Yan-Na , Jin Can , Yu Xiu-Fang
Published: December 2024

In this article, we study the output tracking problem for a wave  equation with variable coefficients, and subject to boundary control  matched disturbances. Both the disturbances and the reference signal are  unknown harmonic signal. The performance output is non-collocated with  the control input. Initially, we establish an undisturbed auxiliary system  and devise an appropriate internal model dynamic to reformulate the  tracking error. Subsequently, we introduce an error-based feedback  controller, leveraging an invertible transformation to achieve output  tracking. The well-posedness and stability of the closed-loop system are  established by applying semigroup theory approach. Finally, we illustrate  the effectiveness of these theoretical results with numerical simulations.

Lipid Droplet Accumulation in Cancer: Targeting Lipophagy as a Therapeutic Strategy
Authors:   Faculty of Pharmacy Kampala International University Uganda, Latricia Mercy
Published: December 2024

Lipid droplets (LDs) are dynamic organelles involved in cellular lipid storage, trafficking, and metabolic regulation. Recent studies highlight their altered accumulation in various cancer types, correlating with tumorigenesis, progression, and metastasis. The accumulation of LDs in cancer cells contributes to oncogenic lipid metabolism, which promotes cell proliferation, resistance to apoptosis, and adaptation to tumor microenvironment stresses, including hypoxia and nutrient deprivation. Lipophagy, a specialized form of autophagy responsible for the selective degradation of LDs, has emerged as a potential target for cancer therapy due to its role in modulating cellular lipid reserves and maintaining energy balance. This review explores the molecular mechanisms underlying LD accumulation in cancer and the regulation of lipophagy, examining the implications of lipid storage modulation on cancer cell survival and metabolic adaptation. We also discuss therapeutic strategies aimed at targeting lipophagy pathways, such as inhibition of key lipophagic regulators and combination approaches with established chemotherapies, to improve cancer treatment efficacy. Understanding the intersection of lipid metabolism, LD biogenesis, and lipophagy may offer novel therapeutic avenues, providing more personalized and effective interventions for lipid-metabolism-driven cancers.

Update on tooth color measurement by visual and spectrophotometer methods
Authors: Mezzalira Betancourt Andrea Gabriela , Saldaña Julieta Andrea , Grandinetti José Alberto
Published: December 2024

Introduction: Tooth colour assessment is a crucial aspect in aesthetic dentistry, as it influences the design of restorative and aesthetic treatments. There are various methods for assessing tooth colour, the most common being the visual method and the use of spectrophotometers. Each has advantages and disadvantages that can affect the accuracy and reproducibility of the results.Development: The visual method consists of comparing tooth colour with standardised shade guides. This approach is accessible and easy to implement, but its subjectivity can lead to variations in colour perception between different operators. Factors such as lighting, visual fatigue and environmental conditions can influence the assessment, compromising the consistency of the results. On the other hand, the spectrophotometer offers an objective measurement of tooth colour by quantifying the light reflected by the teeth at different wavelengths. This method provides accurate and repeatable data, eliminating the subjectivity of the visual method. However, its cost and the need for technical training can be limitations in its widespread use.Conclusions: Both methods have a significant role in tooth color assessment. While the visual method is more accessible and practical in clinical settings, the spectrophotometer offers superior accuracy and objectivity. The choice between the two will depend on the specific treatment needs and available resources. For optimal results, it is suggested to consider a combined approach that takes advantage of the strengths of each method.
A construção de consensos em torno do Programa Nacional de Escolas Cívico-Militares a partir de seu manual e diretrizes orientadoras: em busca da formação ético-moral perdida
Authors: Galvão Giulia Pagani , Santos Fabiano Antonio dos
Published: December 2024

O presente texto discute a centralidade que o discurso da formação ético-moral tem na construção de consensos em torno do Programa Nacional de Escolas Cívico-Militares. Para tanto, analisa os dois principais documentos que orientam a implementação do programa e que indicam os princípios por ele defendidos: o Manual das Escolas Cívico-militares e as Diretrizes das Escolas Cívico-militares. A análise é realizada à luz das categorias gramscianas de consenso, vontade coletiva, formação ético-moral e hegemonia. Os resultados mostram que os documentos destacam a importância da retomada de valores cívicos que, supostamente, teriam perdido centralidade na formação dos estudantes. Defendem, portanto, a formação de bons comportamentos e atitudes, procurando construir uma nova racionalidade formativa nas escolas.
O miasma pelo cômodo: sampleagem e neoliberalismo em Makalister
Authors: Prusch Vinícius de Oliveira
Published: December 2024

Este trabalho retoma e expande algumas ideias apresentadas no Trabalho de Conclusão de Curso do autor. São analisados três raps de Makalister: Amores Perros, Quando Observo a Cruz de Folga (Na maratona de queijos e vinhos) e Cartas Que Deixo para o Vento. Observa-se, a partir dessas análises, uma relação entre a frequência de referências a outras formas e o avanço do neoliberalismo no Brasil. Nota-se, entretanto, que a referenciação parece sumir aos poucos, ou, melhor dizendo, vai se tornando cada vez mais sutil, o que também é relacionado, aqui, à transição de Lula para Dilma e, finalmente, para Bolsonaro. Existe uma tendência a formas “sem chão”, que se constituem como “apenas palavras”, mas que, no entanto, são palavras que desafiam o ouvinte, criando fricção, movimento que também se radicaliza aos poucos.
The Diagnostic Value of Transthoracic Echocardiography for Pulmonary Hypertension: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Authors: Sayegh Thuraya , Toubasi Ahmad , Villamizar Jeany P. , De La Zerda David J
Published: December 2024

Purpose
Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is an important cause of morbidity and mortality. A commonly proposed non-invasive method in the diagnosis and assessment of PH is Transthoracic Echocardiography (TTE). In this systematic review and meta-analysis, our aim was to assess the accuracy of echocardiography in the diagnosis of PH.
Methods
The search was done up to the 31st of January 2023 using MEDLINE, Scopus, CENTRAL, and Web of Sciences databases. The studies were included if they were randomized controlled trials or observational in design and evaluated the diagnostic performance of TTE in diagnosing PH in comparison to right-sided heart catheterization as a reference method. The diagnostic performance measures included sensitivity, specificity, Diagnostic Odds Ratio (DOR), Positive Likelihood Ratio (PLR), and Negative Likelihood Ratio (NLR).
Results
The total number of the included patients was 4,523 from 38 articles. The overall sensitivity and specificity of echocardiography in diagnosing pulmonary hypertension were 54.8% (95%CI: 45.7%-63.6%) and 52.1% (95%CI: 39.0%-64.9%), respectively. Moreover, the pooled DOR was 1.321 (95%CI: 0.695-2.51). The pooled PLR and NLR were 1.145 (95%CI: 0.830-1.579) and 0.867 (95%CI: 0.628-1.197), respectively. The highest diagnostic performance of TTE was among group 1 and 3 PH patients.
Conclusion
Our analysis revealed that TTE had low diagnostic sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy. Due to the overall poor diagnostic performance of TTE, the diagnosis of PH and the assessment of response to therapies require right-sided heart catheterization. Future prospective studies to improve the diagnostic performance of TTE in the diagnosis of PH are needed.

A learning design to promote changes in teacher´s digital assessment practices
Authors: Pereira Alda , Oliveira Isolina
Published: December 2024

In this article, we present the design of an ongoing training course for teachers in non-tertiary education with the aim of promoting a change in their assessment practices towards digital assessment of competences from a sustainable assessment perspective. Using a qualitative approach, we analysed the interactions that took place in the different virtual forums, as well as the reports produced at the end by the participants. Our aim was to find out what the main challenges were for these teachers, while at the same time trying to understand which dimensions of the training process enabled the teachers involved to design and implement strategies for assessing competences using technology. We found that the participants' main difficulties were in changing the focus of the assessment, going beyond the mere assessment of knowledge, as well as in constructing appropriate rubrics for the assessment of competences. Important aspects of the training programme were i) the dimension of collaboration between peers, ii) flexibility in terms of the technologies to be used, considering different digital literacy profiles and iii) the creation and application of pedagogical strategies by the teachers during the training.

The Islamic Phenomenon in Modern Arab Countries
Authors: Muhammadong Muhammadong
Published: December 2024

The modern Arab nation, usually referred to as a global society, is certainly different from the Arab nation during the time of the Prophet Muhammad. The difference lies in following the geo-culture that it experiences to continue its existence in the arena of international competition. Modern Arabs have been compressed in ethnolinguistics that are far from being generally Muslim so that the facts that occur are still common among those who are not Muslims. In their religious understanding, the Modern Arab nation seems monolithic and is not dominated by certain doctrines to develop its teachings. So, it is commonplace to find among them various variants, both cultural, political and governmental, to strengthen their existence.

Measuring the connectedness of the Nigerian banking network and its implications for systemic risk
Authors: Kamah Miriam , Riti Joshua
Published: December 2024

This study examines fifteen major banks’ network connectedness in the Nigerian banking system via its stock returns. The paper studies both the static and dynamic network connectedness of banks built on the generalized forecast error variance decomposition, using daily data from January 4, 2005, to June 28, 2019, of publicly traded banks. This study finds a substantial total connectedness, with a high pairwise connectedness among the system’s large banks. The dynamic evolution of connectedness in the network reveals that banks’ connectivity increases in response to certain economic episodes. The evolution of the global network's topological properties reveals that it is mainly susceptible to shocks threatening its stability. Additionally, the study computes a composite index of systemic importance for the Nigerian banking system by combining several network centrality metrics using the principal component analysis. The outcome shows that large banks are more centralized in the network, and the larger the scale of assets a bank has, the more systemically relevant the bank is in the network. Since systemic risk emanates from connectedness, frequent assessment of the banking system's connectedness and systemic importance will aid policy decisions. The proposed measure of systemic importance can be incorporated into the CBN’s stress testing mechanism for fast-tracking risk potential banks.

Authors: Fajar Udik , Murakami Tadashi
Published: December 2024

This study investigates the social reintegration programs for correctional clients at Sintang Correctional Center in Indonesia, utilizing Robert K. Merton's adaptation typology to analyze the pathways of ex-prisoners during their reintegration process. Emphasizing the rights of prisoners as outlined in Indonesian law, the research highlights the significance of effective community guidance in mitigating recidivism and facilitating successful adaptation. Through qualitative method toward 20 correctional clients, the study identifies the challenges faced by ex-prisoners, including economic hardship and societal stigma, which impede their reintegration efforts. The educational backgrounds of respondents reveal a concerning lack of higher education, further limiting employment opportunities. The community guidance program, structured in three stages those are early, advance, and final stage which aims to enhance the quality of life for these individuals. However, findings indicate that a majority remain engaged in case work rather than group activities, suggesting areas for program improvement. By applying Merton's typology, the study categorizes clients' adaptation experiences into Conformity, Retreatism, and Innovation, illustrating the diverse strategies employed by ex-prisoners in navigating their reintegration. The findings underscore the necessity for comprehensive community support systems that address the multifaceted challenges faced by correctional clients, ultimately aiming to reduce recidivism and promote successful societal reintegration. Future recommendations include enhancing educational and vocational training opportunities and fostering community acceptance to improve reintegration outcomes.

Enumerating monuments to the NOB in Bosnia & Herzegovina: A brief comment
Authors: Lawler Andrew
Published: December 2024

This paper discusses the continued reference to a figure of “14,402” monuments and memorials to the People’s Liberation War (NOB) having been created across the territory of Yugoslavia by 1961 in relation three sources of figures on the numbers of monuments and memorials commemorating the People’s Liberation Struggle (NOB) on the territory of Bosnia & Herzegovina. The first is a survey undertaken between 1956 and 1958, the results of which were later reappraised and published along with those of other Yugoslav republics in 1961, where a total of 3,574 monuments and memorials were enumerated upon the territory of Bosnia and Herzegovina, contributing to the overall figure of 14,402. The second is a survey conducted between 1966 and 1973, with a summary of these results being published in 1981, showing a total of 2,049 monuments and memorials were documented. The third is data currently being compiled in the spomenicinob.info database. While at present this database holds details of slightly over 4,000 monuments and memorials to the NOB created during the period 1945–1992,[1] the data used here pertains exclusively to the two aforementioned surveys. Using this data, it is shown that the 3,574 figure from 1961 is a vast overstatement when discussing monuments created, and better describes places of memory than tangible monuments. Additionally, it is shown that, while the figure of 2,049 published in 1981 is generally supported by field research in the present day, it is still not possible to consider this figure as ‘precise’ due to a number of factors, including accidental omissions, the overlooking of new memorials created during the seven-year period in which the survey was undertaken, and the destruction and replacement of memorials as a result of external factors.
The paper concludes that the figure of 14,402 monuments having been made across Yugoslavia by 1961, with “almost three monuments or cemeteries [being created] every day for sixteen years” oft repeated in the literature is a gross over-estimate when discussing ‘monument making’.

THE GREAT BATTLES OF 1943 ON THE YUGOSLAV FRONT IN POST-SOCIALIST TEXTBOOKS
Authors: Muhadinovic Jovan
Published: December 2024

The work is based on a case study in which we attempt to illustrate, through the given topic, the changes in content, narrative, and the amount of data in textbooks after the dissolution of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia in the early 1990s. The collapse of the state was accompanied by a change in the interpretation of official history as written in textbooks during the socialism time. There was a gradual modification of the themes related to the Second World War, which greatly enabled the new political elite across the former state to distance itself from the socialism from which it had emerged and, in this way, to better consolidate the foundations of its power.

Published: December 2024

This paper explores the intricate relationship between leadership styles and employee happiness, presenting a comprehensive guide for leaders aiming to foster happiness in the workplace. Drawing upon theories of positive psychology and organizational behavior, we delve into the impact of leadership behaviors, such as empathy, support, and autonomy, on employee well-being and job satisfaction. This paper presents the main concepts and theories underpinning the research, including transformational leadership, inspirational, servant, autocratic and authentic leadership, to support the findings. This quantitative study involved 400 people from public sector companies, ranging in employment grades from 41 to 54, who were selected at random for the study. The data were analyzed descriptively by identifying and categorizing themes related to the leadership styles employed within the employees' organizations. The study reveals that Transformational, Authentic, Inspirational, and Servant Leadership styles have a positive impact on workplace happiness through traits such as empowerment, trust, and support, while Autocratic Leadership has a harmful effect due to its rigid and pressure-inducing nature. Organizations should focus on positive leadership styles and steer away from Autocratic approaches to improve employee happiness at work. The study uniquely highlights how Transformational, Authentic, Inspirational, and Servant Leadership styles contribute to workplace happiness, providing valuable guidance for organizations to foster a supportive work environment while mitigating the negative effects of Autocratic Leadership.

Unravelling the role of and the interrelation between somatosensory function and metabolic factors in chronic (postsurgical) OA pain
Authors:   , Meert Lotte
Published: December 2024

Chronic musculoskeletal pain (CMP) and knee osteoarthritis (OA) are highly prevalent and expected to increase in the future. Knee OA is the most common degenerative joint disease globally, causing significant pain, functional limitations, and disability. The pathological mechanisms underlying knee OA are complex, involving mechanical, inflammatory, and metabolic factors. Treatment mainly focuses on symptom reduction and when conservative treatments have been unsuccessful, total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is recommended. Despite good outcomes for many patients, 10-34% of patients still experience chronic pain after surgery. Possibly contributing to this chronic (postoperative) pain are metabolic conditions such as obesity and diabetes, along with altered somatosensory functioning. These conditions are associated with low-grade inflammation and may be interrelated due to this mutual link. Therefore, the overall aim of this doctoral thesis was to unravel the role and interrelation of somatosensory functioning and metabolic factors in chronic (postsurgical) OA pain. Chapter I provides a general introduction to the topic. Chapters II to V present the findings of four research studies, and Chapter VI concludes with a general discussion. Currently, there is a lack of comprehensive understanding of how metabolic disorders like obesity and diabetes affect CMP in general. Such insights are crucial for developing tailored management and treatment strategies for individuals with CMP. Therefore, Chapter II presents the results of a retrospective analysis of a longitudinal population-based research project. The aims of this study were: (a) to examine the association between metabolic factors and CMP, (b) to determine if baseline metabolic variables are predictive of CMP presence 10 years later, and (c) to investigate the association and progression of metabolic factors across various pain trajectory groups. Chapter III delves into CMP in patients with knee OA and explores the potential connections between obesity, diabetes, and altered somatosensory functioning through a cross-sectional analysis of patients awaiting their first TKA in a large multicentre prospective cohort study. If all recommended conservative treatments for knee OA have been unsuccessful, TKA is advised. Despite generally good outcomes, between 10-34% of patients still experience chronic pain post-TKA. Chapter IV describes the findings of a systematic review about metabolic factors and inflammatory markers that predict outcomes (pain, function, quality of life, and patient satisfaction) one year after TKA. Chapter V presents the results of the multicentre, longitudinal prospective study that aimed to identify preoperative predictors for pain one-year post-TKA and the change in pain from pre- to post-TKA in patients with knee OA.

This research explores the depiction of hegemony in four literary works: The Kite Runner and A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini, Girl of Kosovo by Alice Mead, and The Thief of Baghdad by Alexander Romanoff. Through Antonio Gramsci's theory of hegemony, this research analyzes the impact of political, ethnic and patriarchal power on individuals and society. In The Kite Runner, ethnic hierarchy in Afghanistan is reflected through Pashtun-Hazara relations. A Thousand Splendid Suns reveals the oppression of patriarchy and the Taliban regime's rule over women. In contrast, Girl of Kosovo depicts the trauma of war through political-military domination amidst ethnic conflict in the Balkans. The Thief of Baghdad presents a fantasy narrative of resistance to the tyranny of the authorities through symbolism and class tensions. Although set in different contexts, these four works demonstrate the universal theme of struggle against hegemonic power and the role of literature in articulating both trauma and hope. The analysis uses a qualitative approach by examining quotations, symbolism, dialogue, and characterization to identify forms of hegemony. As a result, literature becomes a reflective medium that highlights the multidimensional impact of hegemony in history and culture. This research demonstrates the relevance of Gramsci's theory in understanding complex global socio-political dynamics.

The objective of this study was to analyze the level of productions on quaternary prevention. An integrative literature review study was conducted using the secondary databases Virtual Health Library, Latin American and Caribbean Literature in Health Sciences, Scientific Electronic Library Online and Online System for Search and Analysis of Medical Literature based on the specific descriptors retrieved from the Health Sciences Descriptors. Quaternary prevention breaks with the curative biomedical paradigm and focuses on the disease instead of the individual, thus, it is disruptive, as it builds a new paradigm of professional performance. In this sense, quaternary prevention involves the responsibility of health professionals to identify patients and/or users who are at risk of mistaken interventionist practices, which can cause more harm than good health outcomes, caring for these individuals.
