Published: September 2024

Nanotechnology is a basic science that discusses the relationship between size, dimensions, and physical properties of nanostructured materials. This study aims to determine the effect of strontium administration on the crystal structure of ZnO nanoparticles. In this study, zinc oxide (ZnO) was doped with strontium using the coprecipitation method. The basic ingredients used are zinc chloride, strontium chloride, HCl solution, and NaOH precipitating solution. Variations in the concentration used for strontium doping are 0%, 3%, 5%, and 7%. The characterization was carried out by testing with XRD to determine the crystal structure, and UV-Vis to determine the band gap in the ZnO material. The results of the XRD diffraction test showed that the crystal structure of the sample was wurzite and orthorhombic. The crystal size was calculated using the Scherrer equation, and the crystal sizes obtained varied, namely ZnO of 101.28 nm, 3% of 61.19 nm, 5% of 94.91 nm, and 7% of 82.73 nm. The results of the characterization of the energy gap measurements carried out using the Tauc Plot method show that the application of strontium doping to ZnO nanoparticles causes a decrease in the value of the energy gap.

Background: Cardiovascular disease is common in diabetes, and is connected with activation of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS). Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE)2 is a recently described member of the RAS, and this study investigated ACE2 polymorphisms associated with hypertension and T2DM. It was linked to increased chances hypertension was a significant peripheral vascular issue, including both macro- and microvascular complications. Aim of the study: To evaluate the risk of ACE2 gene polymorphisms (rs2285666) in the development of hypertension and also to estimate the ACE2 levels in the recruited individuals and relevance with the analyzed SNP Method: Variant ACE2 (rs2285666) examined in 200 Iraqi subject’s diabetics with and without hypertension. 90 HT diabetic patients (case group) and 110 NT diabetic patients (control group) were included. Patients aged>30 years old and patients diagnosed by physicians as having T2DM with and without hypertension. Exclusion criteria include patients who have T1DM or need insulin injections. assessments were determined for each patient: age, sex, body mass index (BMI), diabetes, blood pressure, (FBS), (HbA1c), (Chol), (LDL), (HDL), (TG) andACE2serum conc. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is used to detect the G/A alleles. (Chi-squared and t-test) (odds ratios) were applied to determine the association between G/A polymorphism and hypertension. P<0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: Results of analysis of the rs2285666 G>A pointed out a significant association with the development of hypertension. After adjusting for age, sex, and BMI in the co-dominant model, heterozygous (GA) significantly distended the danger of hypertension by three folds with deference to those of the wild homozygous (GG) (OR = 3.11, CI 95% = 1.04-9.34, P = 0.042). In the same way, the homozygous (AA) genotype suggestively raised the risk of hypertension by onefold (OR= 1.49, CI 95%; 0.82-3.21, P= 0.039). Conversely, both dominant and recessive inheritance patterns were associated with an increased risk in diabetic patients with HT. The dominant model showed an odds ratio (OR) of 1.56 (95% confidence interval CI: 1.72-4.21, P = 0.001), while the recessive model showed an OR of 2.13 (95% CI: 1.74-6.21, P = 0.021). The minor allele (A) frequency in HT patients (0.17) was found to be significantly (P=0.022) decreased when linked to the NT diabetic control groups. Conclusion: ACE2 gene polymorphism, mutant homozygous (AA) and heterozygous (GA) genotypes, rs2285666, are associated with hypertension in T2DM Iraqi population with a 2 folds risk factor to develop the disease as well as differences in serum lipid concentrations are not influenced by the ACE2 gene polymorphism rs2285666 genotypes.

Objective: This paper aims to study the impact of digital recruitment tools on the economic and sustainable development goals (SDGs) of SMEs in China.
 
Theoretical Framework: Based on human resource management theory, innovation diffusion theory and resource-based theory, experiments are designed to verify the proposed hypothesis.
 
Method: We select Chinese Internet SMEs with similar backgrounds as experimental subjects, and collect key information through online questionnaires. Then, multiple linear regression equations are used for data analysis. Recruitment cost, recruitment cycle and new employee performance are set as dependent variables respectively, and the relationship between independent variables: whether an enterprise uses digital recruitment tools, and the number of digital recruitment tools used is explored.
 
Results and Discussion: The results show that the three groups of regression models all show a significant correlation between the independent variable and the dependent variable. The use of digital recruitment software in recruitment will significantly reduce the recruitment cost and cycle, and the performance of new employees will be significantly improved, and the more digital recruitment software is used, the more obvious the effect will be.
 
Originality\Value: This finding provides empirical support for small and medium-sized enterprises in China's Internet industry to use digital tools for human resource management and has important practical significance. The research suggests that businesses should use digital hiring tools for enhanced talent acquisition and a competitive edge boost.

Introducción: La infección por el Virus de Inmunodeficiencia Humana fue identificada como el agente causal del Síndrome de Inmunodeficiencia Adquirida en la década de los 80. El desarrollo natural de esta infección provoca en el enfermo un deterioro progresivo de la inmunidad, debido fundamentalmente a la lisis de los linfocitos CD4+, llevando al paciente a una profunda inmunodepresión que lo predispone a desarrollar infecciones oportunistas, afectaciones neurológicas y neoplasias malignas. Presentación del caso: Se presenta un caso de un paciente con un sarcoma de Kaposi en etapa clínica latente de infección por VIH, lo cual constituye un comportamiento atípico de la enfermedad. El diagnóstico del caso fue confirmado por biopsia incisional y el paciente fue sometido al protocolo de tratamiento establecido para estos casos, con una respuesta adecuada al tratamiento de la terapia antirretrovirales y referenciado para atención en un centro de tercer nivel para su patología oncológica. Conclusiones: Se presenta un caso de Infección por VIH que a pesar de mantener los parámetros cuantitativos de conteo de CD4+ y carga viral compatibles con una etapa clínica latente de la enfermedad, desarrolla un sarcoma de Kaposi, teniendo un comportamiento atípico de la patología de base.
