The Effects of COVID-19 Pandemic Lock Down on Body Weight and Risk Score for Diabetes Among Healthcare Students
Authors: Kiwan Rasha , Shubrook Jay , Unni Eliazbeth
Published: October 2023

Background:
The COVID-19 pandemic necessitated widespread lockdowns, significantly altering daily routines and activity levels. This study hypothesizes that such changes might have exacerbated the health risks associated with type 2 diabetes (T2D).

Objective:
Given the prevalence of T2D among U.S. adults and the centrality of weight gain as a risk factor, this research aims to explore the potential ramifications of the pandemic on TGD risk. Such findings are important for preparations against future outbreaks, which might amplify T2D onset rates.

Methods:
Affiliates from three U.S. Touro college campuses were surveyed to assess the pandemic’s effects on dietary patterns, daily activity levels, and weight change. To gauge changes in T2D risk, a diabetes risk score was determined, comparing pre-pandemic levels to those observed during COVID-19 restrictions. The study used a survey research method and Qualtrics for data collection. The research proposal was approved by the University Institutional Review Board (M-0221).

Results:
Of the participants, 65.9% reported decreased activity levels, while 46.3% experienced weight gain. Notably, 64.2% of participants had an elevated risk score, signifying an increased vulnerability to T2D.
A Rare Case of TMP-SMX Induced DRESS and Clinical TSS in a Pediatric Patient
Authors: Marquez Verna , Covenas Cecilia , Yang Hyoshim
Published: October 2023

Drug Reaction with Eosinophilia and Systemic Symptoms (DRESS) is a rare and potentially life-threatening adverse drug reaction. We present a case of a 14-year-old girl with overlapping DRESS syndrome and Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS) following Trimethoprim/Sulfamethoxazole treatment. The patient developed a generalized pruritic maculopapular rash, lymphadenopathy, fever, and facial swelling. Laboratory results showed leukocytosis, elevated liver enzymes, and C-reactive protein (CRP). Despite initial treatment with methylprednisolone, her condition worsened, necessitating a transfer to a higher level of care. She exhibited fever, hypotension, tachycardia, tachypnea, strawberry tongue, and perioral impetigo, consistent with TSS. Antibiotic therapy was initiated, but eosinophilia and an abdominal desquamative rash emerged, indicative of DRESS syndrome. Treatment involved discontinuing antibiotics, administering intravenous solumedrol for possible DRESS, and restarting antibiotics due to persistent TSS features. The patient’s symptoms improved, and she was discharged on tapering steroids and antibiotics. This case highlights the coexistence of DRESS and TSS in a pediatric patient and emphasizes the importance of promptly discontinuing the offending agent and appropriate management with steroids and antibiotics. Of the participants, 65.9% reported decreased activity levels, while 46.3% experienced weight gain. Notably, 64.2% of participants had an elevated risk score, signifying an increased vulnerability to T2D.
Confronting the Environmental Challenges of Pharmaceutical Pollution: A Call to Action for Healthcare Professionals
Authors: Kamajian Steven
Published: October 2023

While providing unparalleled health benefits, the 21st century’s pharmaceutical advancements have inadvertently led to environmental contamination. The sheer volume of drug consumption and resulting waste entering ecosystems compounds this issue. Water systems worldwide are under siege, with pharmaceutical residues causing behavioral changes in aquatic life and threatening delicate ecological balances. Wildlife is not spared, with documented behavioral alterations suggesting potential long-term evolutionary consequences. The cycle of pollution returns these pharmaceutical residues to humans, posing health risks, including antibiotic resistance. The sources of these contaminants range from human excretion to industrial runoff. As challenges mount, solutions emerge, with healthcare professionals playing a pivotal role in driving sustainable prescribing practices, patient education, and advocacy.
Refreshing the Mind and Body: Exploring the Mental Health Benefits of Cold Water Immersion
Authors: Sadeghi Habib
Published: October 2023

Background:
Cold Water Immersion (CWI) has been historically utilized as a therapeutic practice. Recent interest in its applications for mental health has stimulated scientific inquiry into its potential benefits and mechanisms of action.

Methods:
This article systematically reviews the therapeutic applications of CWI for mental health
conditions. Search engines such as PubMed, Google Scholar, and Cochrane Library were utilized. Key search terms included "Cold Water Immersion,” "Mental Health,” "Depression,” "Anxiety,” and "Stress.” Articles were selected based on relevance, focusing on physiological and psychological responses to CWI and specific studies exploring its role in mental health. Safety considerations and precautions, therapeutic applications, and potential patient populations were also discussed.

Results: CWI activates the sympathetic nervous system, releasing stress hormones and endorphins, improving mental well-being. Physiological benefits were observed, including anti-inflammatory effects, improved circulation, and enhanced immune function. CWI demonstrates potential as an adjunct treatment for depression, anxiety, pain-related disorders, and stress. However, safety considerations are essential, including the risk of hypothermia, cardiovascular, and respiratory concerns, and cold shock response. CWI should complement, not replace, traditional treatments and is best suited for specific patient populations.

Conclusion: CWI presents a promising complementary approach to mental health, with
initial studies indicating benefits for various conditions. Further research is necessary to
understand its potential fully and integrate it effectively into therapeutic regimens.
S-asymptotically omega-periodic mild solutions to fractional differential equations
Authors: Brindle Darin , N'Guerekata Gaston M.
Published: October 2023

This article concerns the existence of mild solutions to the semilinear fractional differential equation $$ D_t^\alpha u(t)=Au(t)+D_t^{\alpha-1} f(t,u(t)),\quad t\geq 0 $$ with nonlocal conditions \(u(0)=u_0 + g(u)\) where \(D_t^\alpha(\cdot)\) (\(1< \alpha < 2\)) is the Riemann-Liouville derivative, \(A: D(A) \subset X \to X\) is a linear densely defined operator of sectorial type on a complex Banach space \(X\), \(f:\mathbb{R}^+\times X\to X\) is S-asymptotically \(\omega\)-periodic with respect to the first variable. We use the Krsnoselskii's theorem to prove our main theorem. The results obtained are new even in the context of asymptotically \(\omega\)-periodic functions. An application to fractional relaxation-oscillation equations is given.For more information see https://ejde.math.txstate.edu/Volumes/2020/30/abstr.html
Parameter-dependent periodic problems for non-autonomous Duffing equations with sign-changing forcing term
Authors: Sremr Jiri
Published: October 2023

We study the existence, exact multiplicity, and structure of the set of positive solutions to the periodic problem $$ u''=p(t)u+h(t)|u|^{\lambda}\operatorname{sgn} u+\mu f(t);\quad u(0)=u(\omega),\; u'(0)=u'(\omega), $$ where \(\mu\in \mathbb{R}\) is a parameter. We assume that \(p,h,f\in L([0,\omega])\), \(\lambda>1\), and the function \(h\) is non-negative. The results obtained extend the results known in the existing literature. We do not require that the Green's function of the corresponding linear problem be positive and we allow the forcing term \(f\) to change its sign.

Resource Mobilization and Financial Performance of Islamic Cooperative Societies in The South Western Nigeria
Authors: Azeez, Asif Olatubosun, (Ph.D.)
Published: October 2023

Resource mobilization is an integral part of Islamic cooperative societies through its products such as, share, savings, development levies, sales of stationeries, reserve, investment fund, zakat, sadaqah, takaful, waqf, sukuk, etc. This paper hereby examined the resource mobilization strategy as regards to its impact on the financial development of the ICSs in the south western Nigeria. Descriptive research methodology was employed in the analysis of data obtained from the randomly selected ICSs through their financial statement and their ‘key informants’. Three major checks were carried out, this include; members share capital in relation to the total assets of the ICSs, growth in savings rate and loan management of the societies. The result indicated a positive asset management, growth in savings and good loan management, which jointly determined economic development of the societies in the studied area. It was therefore recommended that ICSs should explore more means of funds mobilization such as waqf, sukuk, proper financial record keeping and government regulation mechanism to enhance their socio-economic development roles.

Pemikiran adalah modal dan alat yang penting di dalam kehidupan umat manusia, tetapi pemikiran haruslah ada yang menuntunnya agar sentiasa berada di jalan yang benar. Penuntun yang dimaksud adalah Al Qur'ān Al-Karīm, kerana merupakan wahyu daripada Allāh Subhānahū wata’ālā. Jadi, pemikiran adalah pemberian daripada Allāh Subhānahū wata’ālā untuk manusia sebagai alat untuk berfikir.  Oleh kerana itu, pemikiran haruslah sentiasa sejalan dengan Al-Qur’ān Al-Karīm kerana tanpa petunjuk Al Qur'ān Al-Karīm, maka manusia akan sesat. Jadi, Islam adalah agama fikiran, dengan erti bahawa mengakui pemikiran sebagai asasnya dan sebagai alat untuk membela kebenaran. Imām Al-Ghazālī merupakan tokoh pendidikan Islam yang sudah tak diragukan lagi kemampuannya dalam bidang kependidikan Islam. Menurutnya, pendidikan merupakan proses memanusiakan manusia sampai akhir hayatnya menuju pendekatan diri kepada Allāh Subhānahū wata’ālā sehingga menjadi manusia sempurna. Tujuan pendidikan menurut Imām Al-Ghazālī adalah membentuk manusia ṣālih. Di dalam artikel ini, penulis mengetengahkan tokoh agung ini tentang Pemikiran Imām Al-Ghazālī tentang Pendidikan Islam.

Al-Ghazali on the head, heart and hand tripartite, and its organisational implications
Authors: Iznan Tarip  , Nur Firdaus bin Abu Bakar
Published: October 2023

The ‘heart’ analogy is always used by many traditions, as well as contemporary research and practice. However, the term has been used incoherently, which can potentially be detrimental to research and practice. The infamous head, heart and hand tripartite, for example, are referring to cognition, affection and psychomotor respectively. This paper posits that the heart is not mere emotions and affections, but rather, plays a central role in organisational moral development. The work of Imam al-Ghazali is employed to re-introduce the term ‘heart’ defined within the worldview of Islam, and its importance in organisational life in achieving prosperity. Only with this immaterial and spiritual heart can human recognise Allah Ta’āla, rather than solely using the ‘head’ or rational. Additionally, a successful individual is the one that is able to develop their head, heart and hand holistically. Furthermore, the state of the heart, especially its purity, is important as it affects oneself, as well as others. The purified, diseased and dead hearts have their own respective implications to organisational (im)moral development: purified hearts contribute to the formation of the virtuous organisation, while the dead and corrupted hearts to the corrupt and hypocritical organisation. The diseased heart, a state between the two extremes of purified and dead hearts, would then have the potentials to lean to either side. Hence, the need for active process of purification of the heart within the organisational settings.
Islam, Gender, and Development
Authors: Habibat Oladosu-Uthman
Published: October 2023

Across cultures and civilizations, gender relations remain a contested issue. Women across cultures have continued to suffer human injustices because of their gender type.   Despite the fact that Islam has projected itself in all ramifications as a comprehensive way of life that encompasses all spheres of human endeavors, and as a moderate ideology, it is a common phenomenon to witness incidences of gender disparity, inequality, and/or marginalization at least between men and women in the allocation and distribution of power and opportunities. One continues to wonder who to be blamed for the inequality/injustice that pervades the human society especially as this concerns the relationship between male and female. This paper, therefore, examines the dynamics of gender relations in Islam and situate same with the contemporary discourses on identity and gender development. The paper, interrogates the imbalances in the power relations between male and female. It focuses on how power distribution between male and female has served as catalyst to underdevelopment in some nations of the world. Using Yusuf Qaradāwī’s approach, the paper concludes that the world shall continue to witness peace and development only if the all-embracing/all-encompassing culture of Islam is allowed to hold sway especially when consideration is given to objective/moderate interpretation of vicegerency of humanity on earth.

Authors: Hassan Abd Afees Olanrewaju  , Ahamad
Published: October 2023

Mudharaba is an asset-backed financing tool used in Islamic finance to bridge financial gap in the society such as funding agricultural output and farm credit, infrastructural projects and investments. It is proposed in this study as an effective Islamic means of creating jobs and fixing youth’s unemployment challenges in Nigeria in addition to the impact of covid-19 pandemic which has left more people jobless in the country. The primary aim of mudharaba financing is its equity model in profit and loss sharing whereby the capital provider and the user equally share risks that occur in business without negligence from fund user’s end. Therefore, the scope of this paper examines the concepts of mudharaba financing, enumerates its necessity, merits and applicability for poverty reduction, employment generation, survival and sustainability means for Nigerian populace and particularly youths who occupy more than half of the population with skills on petty trade and agricultural practice. The study employs qualitative analysis from online articles, library materials and reports. Data was collected from an interview conducted on three basic elements of Mudharaba. The findings revealed that financing via mudharaba is based on justice, equity and fairness, benefits and professionalism, and guarantee. It showed that unemployment will be minimized through this technique with the collaboration of the Federal government with its Central Bank (CBN), initiating schemes and policies that would ease access to capital and as a channel of empowerment from Non-Interest Financial Institutions (NIFIs) and conventional windows offering Sharia complaints services in the Nigerian banking sector.

Uso do zooplâncton como ferramenta para estudo da qualidade de água em ecossistemas do semiárido do nordeste brasileiro
Authors: Dantas Jamille Leite , Silva Tâmara de Almeida e , Nogueira Eliane Maria de Souza
Published: October 2023

O semiárido do Nordeste brasileiro é caracterizado por elevada temperatura durante todo o ano, devido ao baixo índice pluviométrico, além de apresentar um período de estiagem bastante longo. Mas, apesar dessa semiaridez, essa região possui um número bastante considerável de rios, lagos e reservatórios e, consequentemente, uma comunidade zooplanctônica bastante diversa. Assim, o objetivo desse estudo foi inventariar os trabalhos publicados que tratam sobre a utilização da comunidade zooplanctônica como ferramenta de estudo em ambientes aquáticos continentais no semiárido nordestino. Trata-se de uma pesquisa básica, exploratória e bibliográfica com abordagem bibliométrica, com buscas realizadas nas bases de dados Scopus, na Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (CAPES), Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO) e Google Acadêmico, durante o período de 2007 a 2021. Neste sentido, os resultados apontam que espécies da comunidade zooplanctônica como sendo bons indicadores de qualidade ambiental em ecossistemas aquáticos do semiárido nordestino. Todavia, a produção literária continua baixa quando comparada com as demais regiões do Brasil e a distribuição por estados nas diversas regiões não é uniforme, destacando-se Pernambuco, Paraíba e Rio Grande do Norte. Neste contexto, vislumbra-se a necessidade de se realizar mais pesquisas nos demais estados, assim como estudar a qualidade da água utilizando o zooplâncton como bioindicador, configurando-se como instrumento essencial, especialmente pelo baixo custo que representa.

Nghĩa vụ thiện chí, trung thực trong giai đoạn tiền hợp đồng theo pháp luật Anh
Authors: Đinh Thị Tâm  , Khổng Đức Hoàng
Published: October 2023

Thiện chí, trung thực trong giai đoạn tiền hợp đồng là một loại nghĩa vụ được thừa nhận rộngrãi trong nhiều hệ thống pháp luật trên thế giới, đặc biệt là ở các quốc gia theo hệ thống pháp luật dân sự (Civil Law). Do xuất phát từ quan điểm các bên được quyền tự do trong đàm phán nên trong hệ thống pháp luật Anh không có các quy định mang tính nguyên tắc chung về nghĩa vụ thiện chí, trung thực trong giai đoạn tiền hợp đồng. Nghĩa vụ thiện chí, trung thực thường chỉ đặt ra sau khi hợp đồng đã được xác lập giữa các bên. Tuy nhiên, thông qua thực tiễn xét xử, nghĩa vụ thiện chí, trung thực đã được thừa nhận trong án lệ. Nội dung bài viết sẽ tập trung phân tích để làm rõ vấn đề này.

Sự tương đồng và khác biệt về các hình thức dân chủ trực tiếp ở Việt Nam và một số nước trên thế giới
Authors: Mai Thị Minh Ngọc
Published: October 2023

Dân chủ trực tiếp từ lâu đã được nhiều quốc gia quan tâm và ngày càng có xu hướng mở rộng bên cạnh việc phát huy dân chủ đại diện. Mặc dù cách thức ghi nhận các hình thức dân chủ trực tiếp ở mỗi quốc gia có khác nhau nhưng về cơ bản, các hình thức dân chủ trực tiếp ở các nước khá giống nhau, gồm: trưng cầu ý dân, sáng kiến công dân, sáng kiến chương trình nghị sự, bãi miễn đại biểu dân cử. Ở Việt Nam, thực thi các hình thức dân chủ trực tiếp đang còn nhiều bất cập, do đó, việc chỉ ra sự tương đồng và khác biệt giữa các hình thức dân chủ trực tiếp ở Việt Nam và một số nước trên thế giới sẽ góp phần giúp Việt Nam học hỏi thêm kinh nghiệm các nước.

Gas atomized AlSi10Mg+Cu powders for Metal Additive Manufacturing
Authors: Vanzetti Matteo , Pavel Michael , Perez Andrade Lorena , Padovano Elisa , Aversa Alberta , Weaver Mark , Brewer Luke , Bondioli Federica
Published: October 2023

Metallic powders are one of the most common feedstock materials for metal additive manufacturing (MAM). Nowadays, only few alloys can be processed by these technologies and most of them are casting alloys. This work is focused on the characterization of a novel aluminum alloy produced by a close coupled gas atomizer (CCGA) with composition AlSi10Mg + X Cu (X= 4, 8, 20 wt%). These compositions are very attractive because copper is a well-known strengthener for aluminum alloys. The produced powders were characterized in terms of morphology, flowability, particle size distribution (PSD) and density. Furthermore, the powders microstructures were analyzed to evaluate the composition and the morphology of the phases generated by the rapid solidification that characterized the gas-atomization process.

El Museo de la Patagonia “Dr. Francisco P. Moreno” (PNNH-APN) es un espacio tanto de comunicación pública, abierto a la comunidad, como de consulta especializada para trabajos de investigación académica. Funciona, además, como Reserva Técnica de 13 colecciones arqueológicas de Norpatagonia, que suman en total más de 20.000 objetos al día de hoy.
En este trabajo se presentan los avances del primer proyecto de digitalización de las Colecciones Arqueológicas del Museo. En primer lugar, se detallan los objetivos del proyecto, su desarrollo metodológico y las herramientas técnicas implementadas para el ingreso y procesamiento de la información con especial énfasis en la actualización a normativas vigentes y formalización de procedimientos. En segundo lugar, se presentan los primeros resultados de caracterización y síntesis de las tres colecciones abordadas: Enrique Amadeo Artayeta-1939, Teodoro Aramendía -1949 y Puesta en Valor de Calle Mitre 2016-2017; en particular, información novedosa obtenida a partir de las colecciones que no ha sido difundida aún. Finalmente, se reflexiona sobre las posibilidades de la transformación digital del Museo en pos de la promoción y aplicación de políticas sustentables de conservación, investigación y difusión del patrimonio que resguarda.
