Based On The Possible Radiation Dose That Radioactive Patients May Emit, Radiation Safety Precautions In Diagnostic Nuclear Medicine
Authors: Ammar Mohammed Alibraheem
Published: November 2024

To determine the ideal radiation safety protocols for diagnostic nuclear medicine procedures by measuring the possible radiation dose released by patients who have recently had such procedures.Materials and Procedures: Using a radiation detector, we measured the radiation doses released by 175 adult patients who received technetium-99m, iodine-131, and fluorine-18 radionuclides for scans of their bones, kidneys, hearts, brains, and entire bodies. Based on the amount of time that had passed since the radiopharmaceutical was administered, those values were used to assess the whole-body radiopharmaceutical clearance and the risk of radiation exposure to others. In conclusion : Precautionary steps to prevent radiation exposure are not necessary following diagnostic nuclear medicine procedures because the cumulative radiation doses that patients emit right after the procedure are significantly less than the limits set by the International Atomic Energy Agency and the International Commission on Radiological Protection.

Published: November 2024

Our current research includes a study of the correlation between some of the most important symptoms associated with infection with the corona virus, and hypoxia in the blood, especially after its attachment to the wall of the epithelial lining of the pulmonary alveoli sacs directly, and the completion of the incubation cycle in the lungs as well. And it is known that infection with the corona virus leads to poor performance and function of the lungs in the required manner before infection, due to the exposure of the wall of the pulmonary alveoli to inflammation through a significant increase in its thickness. The number of patients indicated for each month, and the total number for the year, which is about (8999) patients , through which we can determine whether there is a significant difference between them or not, in addition to that we can show through the percentage of each type of symptoms that appear on corona patients (fever, sever coughing, shortness of breath: 75 %, 68 %, 34 %) respectively, the relationship between them and oxygen level in the blood.
Objective: Observing the most important symptoms that lead to hypoxia in the blood, and controlling them, which leads to a gradual improvement in the patient's condition, and this study gives a qualitative clarification in the possibility of controlling the infection.
Methods: Collecting statistical data from a group of specialized medical clinics in Karbala Governorate and documenting them for a full year according to the months of the year for the period from 7/2021 to 7/2022.
Results: Samples collected from a group of outpatient medical clinics from different regions of the city of Karbala, for the period from July 2021 to July 2022, corresponding to the data of World Health Organization (WHO). The study of the correlation between the symptoms represented by fever, shortness of breath, severe cough, and hypoxemia is done on the third stage in particular.

Published: November 2024

Blood groups play an essential role in the incidence of diabetes mellitus type two and are considered predisposing factors. The Center of diabetes mellitus / Marjan Hospital recorded 117 cases of diabetes and followed for other identifications. Blood analysis was done in the Hematology laboratory in Al – Mustaqble University. Blood group A+ was associated with a high incidence of type 2 diabetes (52%), while blood group O+ and O- were the lowest percent (2.5 %) for both of them. Blood groups AB+ and B+ were distributed in diabetic patients (10%) for each. The percentage of Rh+ factor in diabetic patients was 87%, Whereas the Rh- was 13%. Serum bilirubin is inversely associated with insulin resistance in adult people. Bilirubin was increased at the beginning of diabetes but decreased with duration. White blood cells decreased in number in comparison with the control group, and the percentage of lymphocytes in diabetic patients also decreased. These results prove a significant relationship between blood groups and diabetes mellitus.

Published: November 2024

Recently, an increased incidence of gastrointestinal disorders due to the overgrowth of H. pylori bacteria has been noticed remarkably. One of the clinical manifestations of H. pylori overgrowth is the increased incidence of gastric ulcers. The first line of therapy that is used frequently is triple antibiotic therapy plus gastric reducing agents, notably proton pump inhibitors (P.P.Is). Streptomycin (SM) is an injectable aminoglycoside antibiotic that has enhanced activity on gran-negative microbes. To evaluate the additive effect of SM when used orally on eradicating H. pylori by standard triple therapy. 109 patients were enrolled in this study with a gastroenterologist diagnosed with gastric ulcer caused by H. pylori colonization; 60 patients received triple therapy with oral SM, and the rest received only standard triple therapy. After 14 days of treatment, a urea breath test was done again (after baseline reading), and statistical analysis was performed to evaluate the effect of SM. The Results showed that there was a significant difference in the degree of response to triple therapy plus SM as compared to using triple therapy alone.

Authors: Harith M. Jawad  , Yasser J. Jameel
Published: November 2024

This study aimed to assess the impact of heat stress (HS) on broiler chickens provided with a low-energy diet including whole flaxseed, focusing on carcass characteristics and meat quality. A total of 250 one-day-old Ross 308 broiler chicks were randomly allocated into five groups (50 chicks per group), with two replicates for each group. The negative control treatment (T1) received a basal diet devoid of HS. The second treatment fed a basal diet under HS as a positive control (T2). In the third experiment, they fed a basal diet, including whole flaxseed, under heat-stress conditions (T3). The fourth treatment consisted of providing a low-energy diet with whole flaxseed under HS (T4). The fifth intervention was a reduced energy diet administered under HS (T5). The carcass characteristics and edible entrails in the T3 and T4 groups showed a significant improvement (P≤0.05) compared to the control groups. The meat quality in the T3 and T4 groups was considerably enhanced (P≤0.05) due to an increase in omega-3 fatty acid levels [α-linolenic acid, eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA)], as determined by GC mass spectrometry compared to the control group that had a corn-soybean diet. In conclusion, incorporating whole flaxseeds into a low-energy diet during HS augmented broiler chickens’ productivity, improved carcass characteristics, and elevated omega-3 concentrations in the meat.
Part of speech distributions for Grimm versus artificially generated fairy tales
Authors: Arvind Suvrath , Greenberg Clayton
Published: November 2024

ChatGPT is a chatbot tool that relies on GPT3 and later OpenAI transformer language models to generate responses to user prompts. In this study, we sought to investigate the statistical differences between naturally generated and artificially generated text due to the dramatic increase in quality of natural language generation from large language models, popularized by ChatGPT. To constrain our problem, we considered fairy tales as these texts have existed for centuries. To explore statistical differences, we focused on the distribution of words according to their parts of speech (POS), elements that characterize words based on their grammatical function. We generated a novel corpus of 101 fairy tales “authored” by ChatGPT. We compared this against 209 fairy tales written by the Grimm Brothers and made available freely online. Our hypothesis was that the distributions of POS for Grimm fairy tales and ChatGPT fairy tales would be different and that the POS distributions will vary among Grimm fairy tales more than among ChatGPT fairy tales. We performed appropriate preprocessing and computed total variation distances for individual fairy tales within and between authorship conditions. We found out that in fact, the distribution of POS in ChatGPT fairy tales is significantly different from the distribution of POS in Grimm fairy tales.
Parasitic Forms of Halictophagus sp. (Strepsiptera:Halictophagidae) Infesting the Mango Leafhopper, Idioscopus clypealis (Leth) (Hemiptera:Cicadellidae)
Authors: Anober-Lantican G.M , Ocampo V.R
Published: November 2024

The various stages of Halictophagus sp., a strepsipteron parasitoid of the mango leafhopper ldioscopus clypealis (Lethierry), collected over a one-year period were identified and described. Several hundreds to more than a thousand globular white eggs were present in the ovisac of a highly reproductive neotenic female which remains attached to the host. The eggs hatched into first instar larvae or triungulins which exhibited two forms, the C-shaped female with posterior spines and the tubular males without the spines. The tubular males predominate over the C-shaped females at 1.6:1.0 ratio. The neotenic female larviposits the triungulins within the vicinity of potential hopper hosts. The triungulins penetrate the host and develop inside the host abdomen. Two forms of endoparasitic larvae were observed: one was the hard dark-brown C-shaped female larva and the other was the hard dark brown tubular male larva. The latter developed into a soft creamy-white larva which showed hardening and tanning of its anterior region when full grown and before extruding as cephalotheca. On the other hand, a small area along the ventral region of the host abdomen darkens ( dark spot) to indicate a soon to extrude female cephalothorax. The extruded parasitoids had 1.3 cephalotheca: 1.0 cephalothorax ratio. The parasitoid was extrapolated as completing Jts life cycle in 4 months and having two to three overlapping generation cycles in a year.

This study aimed to evaluate the pattern of melanomacrophage centers (MMCs) formation as influenced by residual levels of chlorpyrifos and carbaryl insecticides on Oreochromis ni/oticus Linn. as metabolic reaction to the stress of exposure. Male juvenile 0. ni/oticus were exposed for 15 days to varying concentrations of either chlorpyrifos or carbaryl. The test doses corresponded with the different residual concentration levels persistent in the aquatic ecosystem. In the dose-response experiment, the concentrations used for chlorpyrifos ranged from 0.03 ug/L to 1.34 ug/L, while for carbaryl test concentrations ranged from 0.07 mg/L to 0.30 mg/L. In the recovery experiment, the concentrations used were 2.0 ug/L for chlorpyrifos and 0.3 mg/L for carbaryl. Evaluation of recovery was based on the changes in MMC size at different observation periods upon introduction of individuals to toxicant-free water. Among chlorpyrifos-exposed individuals, more pronounced responses with regard to splenic MMC size related to treatment dose levels were detectable (F va,u= 12.5, P<0.05). Hepatic MM Cs exhibited no dose-related change in size. On • the other hand, among carbaryl-exposed individuals, MMC formation showed a dose-dependent response with significant differences in mean

Authors: Calleja L.M , Gapud V.P
Published: November 2024

The soil microarthropod communities in different corn production systems were studied and compared in four farms in Barangay Omaganhan, Tabango, Leyte from April to August 2003. The aspects considered were relative abundance, species richness, species similarity, species diversity, species evenness, and species dominance. They were represented by 193 species, largely Acarina (> 90%) and Collembola (8.4%). The most dominant mites in al I farms were Scheloribates fimbriatus ja vensis Willmann, Oppia kuehnelti Csiszar, and Lamel/obates hauseri Mahunka. The relatively poor community structure of mites and Collembola in the corn farms was influenced by the low organic matter (1.2-1.9%) and total N (0.12- 0.16%) levels and slightly basic pH (7.75-7.95) of soil. While high rainfall during typhoons caused drastic decline in mite populations, it did not appear to affect Collembola populations. The influence of soil moisture on microarthropods was not apparent. Frequent cultivation, use of chemical fertilizer, use of contour hedgerows, crop rotation, and intercropping appeared to influence microarthropod community trends. Corn farms in Tabango, Leyte were assessed as highly disturbed, but showed prospects for rehabilitation through soil improvement schemes. Recommendations for the improvement of existing farming practices, information dissemination of improved technologies, and future studies relevant to corn production in Leyte are provided.

Published: November 2024

Stunting is a condition characterized by impaired growth in children, leading to insufficient height and weight compared to established standards, which also affects motor development. Children with stunting have lower immunity, increasing their vulnerability to non-communicable diseases such as diabetes, obesity, stroke, and heart disease. In Jayapura, the stunting rate reaches 20%, which is considered high in Indonesia. In response, PT Pertamina Patra Niaga has partnered with the Posyandu Cadre of Imbi Village and the local Health Center to provide Supplementary Feeding (PMT) containing animal protein, vegetable protein, fruits, and vegetables. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of the PMT program in reducing the rate of stunting and improving the nutritional status of toddlers and pregnant women in Jayapura. The feeding program lasted for two weeks and targeted stunted children and pregnant women with nutritional deficiencies. This descriptive qualitative study examines the processes and outcomes of this intervention. The results indicate that 39% of participants successfully improved their nutritional status, moving out of the stunting and SEZ categories. This program is set to continue for four years to ensure sustainable support for toddlers and pregnant women in meeting their nutritional needs.

Published: November 2024

This study assessed the purse seine, handline and pole and line catches at PPS (Samudera Fishing Port Kendari) specifically targeting skipjack and yellowfin tuna in the Banda Sea. Although there has been a rise in tuna output over the past two years, the examination of fish size in September until November revealed substantial fluctuation. Additionally, the implementation of the moratorium policy had a detrimental effect. Ensuring the sustainability of fisheries in the Banda Sea, particularly for large pelagic fish like skipjack and yellowfin tuna, necessitates the implementation of adaptive management and selective fishing practices, with a particular focus on enforcing mesh size regulations. The aims of this study were to examine the patterns of tuna fisheries landing at PPS, specifically focusing on the sorts of catches made using purse seine, handline, and pole and line fishing methods. Additionally, the study aimed to assess the length frequency distribution of Thunnus albacares caught using purse seine, handline, and pole and line fishing gear. The methodology offers a thorough framework for eval_uating the sustainability of Thunnus albacares fisheries in PPS Kendari. Policymakers can develop effective management plans for long-term resource sustainability by assessing catch composition, productivity, and size distribution across various fishing gears. The analysis of this study conducted in September - November 2023 revealed that the fish catches varied in size, ranging from 13 cmFL to 124 cmFL.

Authors: Rekso Wibowo Basuki , Handoyo Lugito Hendrik , Mulyadi Lilik
Published: November 2024

Problems in the enforcement of tax criminal law involve normative vagueness related to corporate criminal liability in the context of tax crimes. Currently, criminal liability is directed only to individuals who are stewards or controllers of the corporation personally. This results in the main perpetrator in tax crimes are individual taxpayers, even though these crimes actually occur within the scope of operations of a corporation. In addition, the corporation itself cannot be criminally liable, nor can its shareholders. In the context of tax crimes that generally occur in a corporative environment and involve tax officials, there are normative obstacles in law enforcement against business entities involved in tax crimes. The research method used in this study is normative juridical with research specifications, namely descriptive analytical, techniques for collecting legal materials with library research using primary, secondary and tertiary legal materials, analytical techniques used qualitative normative by combining induction and deduction reasoning. The results of this Dissertation research show that criminal liability for corporations in tax crimes regulated in Law No. 16 of 2009 concerning General Provisions and Tax Procedures which has been amended by Law No. 7 of 2021 concerning Harmonization of Tax Regulations, has not directly regulated criminal liability for corporations. Currently, criminal liability is only given to the management or controller of the corporation personally.

This study aims to analyse the impact of PR Campaigns on consumer attitudes and purchasing decisions in Saudi Arabia, along with assessing the significance of PR campaigns in businesses, evaluating various ways PR campaigns affect buying decisions and analysing the impact of PR Campaigns on consumer attitudes and purchasing decisions in Saudi Arabia. To attain the objectives of this study, the study employs a primary quantitative method. The data was collected through a closed-ended survey questionnaire and was analysed through SPSS. The results of the study show that PR campaigns have a huge influence on Saudi consumers’ perceptions and buying behaviour. The majority of the participants said they were more likely to buy products after interacting with a PR campaign. This suggests that PR is very useful in influencing the consumer’s actions. To optimise this influence, it is advised that companies improve the message clarity of their campaigns so that these connect with target consumers. Moreover, the integration of the campaign narratives into the commonly held consumer values and the use of more interactive methods of engagement would also go a long way in enhancing the overall brand trust, thus leading to the formation of more long-term consumers’ commitment in such a competitive market.

This analytical and inductive study follows the phenomenon of the conflict over the sovereignty between Abbasid Caliphate and Seljuk Sultanate in the era between 447 and 590 A.H. I conceived the roots of this conflict, it's causes and the development of this rivalry, which extended over one hundred forty years. The Seljuk Sultans done their best to deprive Abbasid Caliphs from the sovereignty, as Buyid kings had done with Abbasid Caliphs from 334 till 447 A.H. According to Seljuk's rule, the Abbasid Caliphate must be only religious authority. Therefore, the caliph has no right to designate governors, military commanders, even his own bodyguards. If the Caliph al-Muqtadi (422-467 A.H.), shown his weak, while he deals with the first Seljuk Sultan Tughril (447 - 455 A.H.). While, this situation, would not continue during the caliphates of Al-Mustarshid (512 - 529 A.H.), al-Muqtafi (530 - 555 A.H.), and al-Nasir (575 - 622 A.H.). During al-Nasir's caliphate, the Seljuk's tyranny over the Abbasid Caliphate had terminated by the killing of the last Seljuk Sultan called Tughril Ibn Alp-Arslan in 590 A.H. When the Abbasid Caliphs would resume their authority in 590 AH.. They actually spread their authority only over Iraq and parts of Persia, while the rest of Islamic world would rule by different independent powers.

The purpose of this study was to investigate theoretically the relationship between transformational leadership (the “Magnetic Manager) and organizational success. The transformational leadership and social exchange theories are the underpinning theories for this paper. The literature on the concept of transformational leadership, its forms, and organizational success was thoroughly reviewed. The paper found that a transformational leader is a critical success factor that can bring out changes in employees and the organization as a whole. The study concludes that there is a significant relationship between transformational leadership and organizational success. The study recommended that organisations celebrate successes. Transformational leaders should recognise and celebrate the successes of their followers. This helps to build morale and motivation, which can lead to success.

This study examines the relationship between educational Sector financing and economic wellbeing in Nigeria, focusing on government funding, private domestic investment, and foreign expenditure in education. The study employs econometric techniques to analyze the long-term dynamics of educational financing on the Human Development Index (HDI). The findings reveal a significant increase in educational financing activities over time, particularly in domestic funding. However, despite the growth in funding, there is evidence of underemployment among educated individuals, suggesting a disconnect between educational investments and economic outcomes. Co-integration analysis indicates a long-term relationship between government educational financing and human development. The reliance on government funding for education underscores the need for effective resource management and targeted interventions to address gaps in the education system. Keywords: Educational financing, economic development, Nigeria, government funding, private investment.
Dos visiones del conflicto en conversación espontánea: participantes vs. analistas
Authors: Estellés Argueda María
Published: November 2024

La conversación coloquial se distingue por ser un género colaborativo donde los participantes buscan armonía y acuerdo. A diferencia de géneros conflictivos como tertulias televisivas o debates parlamentarios, la conversación coloquial no es inherentemente conflictiva, aunque no está libre de conflictos. Este estudio examina cómo se manifiesta lingüísticamente el conflicto en conversaciones espontáneas, basándose en indicadores estructurales, interaccionales y lingüísticos identificados en la literatura. Se utiliza un corpus de conversaciones familiares recogidas con micrófono oculto, etiquetadas por una interlocutora presente. El análisis compara la definición de conflicto en la bibliografía con la percepción de los participantes, identificando áreas de coincidencia y discrepancia, y reflexionando sobre las zonas de indefinición entre ambas perspectivas.
Análisis multicapa del habla conversacional conflictiva a partir de la herramienta computacional OralStats Furious
Authors: Cabedo Nebot Adrián
Published: November 2024

Esta investigación explora algunas características prosódicas del conflicto discursivo, a partir de la comparación entre el análisis manual y automático de 1371 grupos entonativos procedentes de 7 conversaciones de una misma familia. De estos, 738 fueron designados manualmente como no conflictivos, mientras que 633 fueron etiquetados como conflictivos. Herramientas estadísticas, incluyendo ANOVA y boxplots, han permitido esclarecer singularidades inherentes al discurso conflictivo. Por ejemplo, el examen del tono revela disparidades significativas tanto entre hablantes como en contextos de conflicto. A pesar de la consistencia general en los datos, se observan variaciones notables, especialmente en el caso de algún hablante, cuyo tono muestra una notable variabilidad entre secuencias conflictivas y no conflictivas. De manera significativa, la velocidad de habla también resultó ser un marcador prosódico distintivo, mostrando diferencias significativas tanto entre hablantes como en escenarios de conflicto. En contraste, variables como la inflexión tonal, intensidad y duración no mostraron diferencias significativas basadas en niveles de conflicto o identidades de hablantes. La creación y desarrollo del programa Oralstats Furious para la categorización automática introdujo un elemento adicional al estudio. La visualización interactiva de datos ha resultado muy importante para una validación precisa, por lo que se permite a los investigadores refinar tanto las clasificaciones manuales como las automáticas. Las discrepancias entre las categorizaciones manuales y automáticas revelaron disparidades significativas, insinuando posibles sobreestimaciones o subestimaciones del conflicto en análisis manuales.
