Authors: Muhammad Alhassan , Azhar Abdul Rahman , Mustafa Iskandar Shahrim , Mohd Zahri Abdul Aziz
Published: January 2025

The aim of this work is to evaluate the impact of maltose additive on the radiation sensitivity of the polymer gel dosimeter (PGD), made from a less toxic monomer, 2-hydroxyethylmethacrylate (HEMA). The sensitivity of the PGD recipe made from HEMA as monomer, N,N’- Methylene-Bis-Acrylamide (BIS) as cross linker, Gelatin as gel matrix and Tetrakis (Hydroxymethyl) phosphonium chloride (THPC) as antioxidant, was evaluated using UV-Visible Spectroscopy (UV-Vis.) when irradiated with x-ray, using clinical linear accelerator (LINAC), within the dose range of 0–30 Gy. The baseline correction was performed using three different approaches: using (i) deionized water (DI-H2O), (ii) unirradiated sample in the reference compartment, and (iii) unirradiated sample in both the reference and the sample compartments. DI-H2O or unirradiated sample was then used as a reference sample to scan the irradiated ones. The three approaches were compared and all of them confirmed that increasing the maltose concentration within the optimal range results in an improved sensitivity. However, they differed in the optimum concentration. The result revealed that using the third approach, maltose addition achieved an efficiency of 750.0% compared to the sample without the addition, while the first and the second approaches achieved efficiencies of 550.0% and 330.0% respectively. The reasons for these differences were discussed. These findings are important for enhancing radiation dosimetry using PGDs and we finally recommend the use of maltose additive in the HEMA-based PGD to improve radiation sensitivity, melting temperature and tissue equivalence for radiotherapy planning and dosimetry system.

BACKGROUND:

Febrile convulsions (FCs) are the most common type of seizures in children. They usually occur between the ages of 6 months and 5 years and affect 2%–5% of children worldwide. The aim of this study was to describe the epidemiological and clinical characteristics of children who have been diagnosed with FCs and admitted to a tertiary care hospital in Riyadh.

MATERIALS AND METHODS:

The study included pediatric patients aged between 3 months and 5 years who presented to the emergency department of King Abdullah Specialist Children’s Hospital in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia and were admitted to hospital with FC diagnosis during 2015 to 2021. The hospital’s electronic medical records system was reviewed to obtain patients’ information on age, gender, clinical characteristics, laboratory investigations, length of hospital stay, and outcome. Data was analyzed using Stata 12; Chi-square test was used to determine association between categorical variables, while t-test or Mann–Whitney U test compared continuous data between two groups.

RESULTS:

A total of 247 children with FC diagnoses were included in the analysis; 0.4% of pediatric patients were admitted to the hospital with the diagnosis of FC. Most of the patients (77%) convulsions were triggered by upper respiratory tract infections and median duration of the convulsion episode was 4 min; 55% of the patients had a simple FC, and 40% had recurrence of FCs. Developmental delays were more common in children with recurrent FCs (15%) compared to children who had only one episode of convulsion (2.7%) [P < 0.001].

CONCLUSION:

During the study period, 0.4% of pediatric patients were admitted to hospital with FC diagnoses. Larger multicenter studies are needed to evaluate FCs based on their clinical and operational characteristics to improve the quality of care, decrease the length of patient hospital stay, and lower the recurrence rate.
El Sistema Facultativo de Inscripción en los Actos de Compraventa Inmobiliaria y la Seguridad Jurídica Registral

Published: January 2025

La presente investigación fue desarrollada teniendo como base el actual problema de inscripción y titularidad de bienes inmuebles, regulado en el artículo 949 del Código Civil, en donde se establece que a pesar de existir un dispositivo legal que denomina “Propietarios” a aquellas personas que han adquirido un determinado bien inmueble, los efectos de dicha condición no se alcanzan a plenitud; si estos llamados propietarios no inscriben la titularidad de su propiedad en el registro jurídico correspondiente. De darse esta situación, los llamados propietarios correrían el riesgo de perder su inmueble legítimamente adquirido; en razón que el propio código civil no ha prescrito que la inscripción sea una exigencia obligatoria para alcanzar la titularidad de un inmueble determinado, generando una falta de seguridad jurídica, motivada por la ambigüedad de la norma al no establecer que si bien a partir de la adquisición de un bien inmueble una persona es considerada propietaria; sin embargo, es solo a partir de su inscripción registral en que sus efectos adquieren relevancia jurídica obteniendo un debido respaldo estatal. En este sentido, el presente trabajo de investigación obedece al propósito intrínseco de esclarecer la problemática vigente, teniendo en consideración el carácter protagónico del estado, como promotor de la seguridad jurídica registral en las transferencias de bienes inmuebles, la misma que según la presente investigación resulta absolutamente necesario la adopción de un sistema obligatorio de inscripción inmobiliaria; puesto que el registro de la titularidad de un bien inmueble adquirido legítimamente, resulta importante para salvaguardar su derecho de propiedad válidamente adquirido.

Published: January 2025

The Singkil Adiwerna intersection in Tegal Regency with a 2-phase arrangement has the potential to cause accident risks due to traffic conflicts. For this reason, it is necessary to make efforts to arrange phases to reduce traffic conflicts aimed at improving traffic safety by considering intersection performance. The analysis method uses PKJI (2023) method for intersection performance, PTV VISSIM for simulation modeling, and Surrogate Safety Assement Model Software for the number of conflicts. The results of the analysis of 2-phase conditions with a cycle time of 86 seconds have a degree of saturation of 0.60, a queue of 7.09 meters, a delay of 16.72 seconds, an intersection level of service B and a safety level with a conflict value of 452. The application of 3 phases with a cycle time of 100 seconds has a degree of saturation of 1.01, a queue of 14.02 meters, a delay of 32.74 seconds, an intersection level of service C, and a conflict value of 243 with a 46% decrease in conflict value from 2-phase conditions. If the application of 4 phases with a cycle time of 130 seconds has a degree of saturation of 1.27, a queue of 20 meters, a delay of 47.73 seconds, an intersection level of service D, and a conflict value of 104 with a 77% decrease in conflict value from the 2-phase condition. Based on PM 96 of the Ministry of Transportation, judging from the function of the road, namely a secondary collector road with a level of service of at least C, the selection of phase settings and cycle time of the APILL intersection recommends 3 phases with a cycle time of 100 seconds.

Authors: Kharabsheh R. M. , Bdour A. N.
Published: January 2025

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the reduction percentage in the yearly concentrations of sulfur dioxide (SO2), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), and CO before and after COVID-19 in Amman, the capital city of Jordan, which has the highest population and traffic densities, and Zarqa, an industrial area with 55% of different types of industries. Additionally, this study examines the effect of metrological parameters such as temperature, humidity, and wind speed on air pollutant dispersion, particularly particulate matter 10 (PM10), which is considered uncontrollable. Furthermore, this study highlights the critical environmental and health effects of air pollution. The Ministry of Environment measured the yearly concentration of air pollutants (SO2, NO2, CO, and PM10) in three areas (Amman, Zarqa, and Irbid) in 12 stations in nearby industrial, urban, and traffic areas using the nitric oxide (NO) NO2 chemiluminescence analyzer Model 42i, hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and SO2 analyzer model 450iQ, and PM10 Peta Attenuation analyzer. The few air pollution studies in Jordan have primarily focused on average yearly concentrations of SO2, NO2, CO, and PM10 without considering the monthly or daily variations that greatly concern health and the environment. The results of the present study reveal that during the COVID-19 pandemic, there was a significant decrease in the annual concentrations of H2S, SO2, and NO2 as the reduction percentage in Amman 70, 58, 87% respectively, and in Zarqa 36, 62, 72% respectively. However, there is a slight reduction in CO and PM10 with 39 and 18% at Amman and 19% and 40% at Zarqa. This decrease is attributed to the reduction of primary sources of air pollutants, which are linked to the reductions in traffic volume and industrial activities during the lockdown. Furthermore, the results show that the Jordanian government has implemented regulations to address air pollution in residential areas. These regulations aim to prevent the burning of trees and smoking. The government is also adopting new transportation technologies to reduce the impact of CO2 and other pollutants produced by diesel and gasoline vehicles. The use of green fuels like synthetic natural gas, green methanol, or ammonia, as well as the increasing use of electric cars, are being encouraged. Implementing the bus rapid transit system, which started in 2021 and includes linked lines in the east and west areas of Jordan, has reduced the number of cars used and solved the main issues in crowded regions. Overall, the country has taken significant steps to address and control air pollution.

Published: January 2025

In the modern world, the rise of industrialization and motorization has significantly increased the use of internal combustion engines powered by petroleum products. This has led to the unsustainable exploitation and depletion of petroleum reserves. Consequently, the use of biodiesel-based biofuels, particularly those derived from microorganisms, along with gaseous fuel supplementation in internal combustion engines, has gained prominence. The urgent need to explore alternative fuels for combustion engines has become evident over the past few decades due to the rapid decline in fossil fuel reserves. This study examines the impact of hydrogen induction in the throttle body of a CI engine powered by blends of biodiesel from Chlorella vulgaris and mineral diesel in various proportions, without major engine modifications. The research aims to evaluate the performance, combustion, and emission characteristics of the engine when supplemented with hydrogen, biodiesel, and their blend B20. The experiments involve varying fuel compositions and engine operational parameters to assess their influence on efficiency, pollutant emissions, and combustion stability.

Published: January 2025

The eight branches of Ayurveda are referred to as Ashtang Ayurveda. Kaya, Bala, Graha, Urdhwanga, Shalya,
Drashta, Jara, and Vrushan are among them. Drashta, in this context, refers to the study of poisons. Numerous
circumstances, such as biting, consuming improper chemicals, and applying a material paste to the body's surface,
can result in poisoning. According to Acharya Sushruta, there are sixteen different kinds of sadansha. One is dispersed by a structure resembling a needle, such as honeybees, scorpions, etc. In rural and Ayurvedic medicine,
honey is one of the most widely used substances. There is a possibility of being attacked by honeybees while collecting honey. Honeybees sting the area where they attack. It results in excruciating localised pain and inflammation. Occasionally, it becomes more deadly, and the patient passes away from anaphylactic shock. Lepa karma is
one of the 24 poisoning therapy strategies offered by Ayurveda. According to Acharya Sharangadhar, Langlyadi
lepa works well for kita visha. Thus, the current study evaluates Langlyadi lepa's effectiveness in honeybee stings
in albino mice.

CLINICAL UTILITY OF TRISAKNDHA IN AYURVEDA
Authors: - Amrita , Rani Prerna , Priya Bhanu , Choudhary Suman
Published: January 2025

The aim and objectives of Ayurveda are to maintain the health of individuals, and it’s divided into two aspects
Swasthasya Swathya Rakshanam (Preventing disease in the healthy person), Aturasya Vikar Prashamanam (Curing disease in the diseased). In Ayurveda, this Paryojan (purpose) has been presented as Triskandha/Trisutra.
These are Hetu/Nidana (Caustic Factor), Linga (symptom) and Aushadha (therapeutics). Hetu means causative
factors of diseases and Linga is a sign and symptom of a disease, and Aushadha means medicine or treatments.
The whole of Ayurveda is based on these three pillars; hence it is known as Trisutra (Triskandha). All disease
manifestation comes from the excess and deficiency of Dosha Dhatu and Mala. The concept of Trisutra is helpful
for appropriate diagnosis of disease and effective formulation of drugs to treat the disease. This article summarises clinical utility of the concept of Hetu, Linga and Aushadha.
A COMPREHENSIVE REVIEW ON PASHANABHEDADI KWATHA IN MOOTRASHMARI VIS-VIS NEPHROLITHIASIS
Authors: Y Shailesh , Kamath T Shrilatha , V.S Sushmitha
Published: January 2025

Nephrolithiasis or kidney stone disease may form due to the crystallization of lithogenic factors in the upper urinary tract; it can subsequently move into the ureter and cause renal/ureteric colic. Ayurveda explains this disease
under the broad explanation of Mootrashmari. Even though Mootrashmari roga is tridoshaja vyadhi, kapha dosha
is the samavayi karana (mandatory factor) for forming Mootrashmari. Pashanabheda is considered the best drug
for expelling stones from the urinary tract (Basti ashmari hanana karma adwitiya). Pashanabheda is assigned to
various plant sources because of controversy in the name. Pashanabheda in the form of kwatha (decoction) is ideal
for Mutrakrichra (dysuria) and ashmari (stone disease). Pashanabhedadi kwatha is one of the shamana yoga (Pacifying medicines) in the cream line for ashmari chikitsa (Treatment of Kidney stone disease) in major Ayurveda
textbooks. Under the name of Pashanabhedadi kwatha, different drug combinations with different indications are
available in classical Ayurveda textbooks. Here, an attempt was made to collect, elaborate, and interpret one of
such authentic combinations of Pashanabhedadi kwatha, as explained in Ashmari Chikitsa of the Yogaratnakara
Ayurveda textbook. This combination is proven to be best for Mootrashmari Vis-à-vis Nephrolithiasis.

COMPARATIVE SINGLE CASE STUDY OF AGNIKARMA AND JALAUKA AVACHARANA IN SNAYUGATA VATA (TENNIS ELBOW)
Authors: Pratap Singh Ajay , Bhatt Pratibha
Published: January 2025

Background: Ayurvedic writings offer two treatment possibilities for Tennis Elbow (Snayugata Vata), a clinical ailment caused by repeated actions of the hand, wrist, and forearm: Agnikarma (therapeutic heat burns) and Ja-laukavacharana (leech therapy). It is a degenerative condition that causes soreness around the lateral epicondyle and pain during everyday activities.
Aim:1. To evaluate and compare Agnikarma and Jalaukavacharana's efficacy in managing Snayugata Vata (Tennis Elbow).
Materials and methods: Four patients with tennis elbows were registered and allocated into two groups by a simple random sampling method. Two patients were treated with Agnikarma (Group A) by Lohadhatu Shalaka around the lateral epicondyle of the humerus in three sittings at a 10-day interval, and two patients were treated with Jalaukavacharana (Group B) around the lateral epicondyle of the humerus in five sittings at a 7-day interval.
The U test is used When comparing Group A with Group B. We can see from the test above that half of the parameters have p-values less than 0.05, while the other half have p-values more than 0.05. Thus, we may say that Group A and Group B differ significantly. Additionally, we can see that Group A's mean rank is higher than Group B's. Therefore, we may say that Group A's statistical effect is superior to Group B. Agnikarma's average percentage impact is 80.22%, whereas Jalaukavacharana's is 71.08%. As a result, both treatments work well for tennis elbow. Following Agnikarma, 33.33% of patients saw substantial improvement, and 66.67% (10 patients) exhibited moderate improvement. In Jalaukavacharana, 33.33% (05) of patients showed mild improvement, one patient showed great improvement, and 60% (09) showed moderate improvement.
Conclusion: Both treatments are non-invasive and non-pharmacological, and OPD-level operations require the least amount of equipment. Therefore, both treatments are successful in treating tennis elbow. The statistical ef-fect of Agnikarma is superior to that of Jalaukavacharana.

Published: January 2025

Anal fistula (Bhagandara) is one of the most common anorectal diseases. It’s complicated pathogenesis has been
considered a clinical challenge for surgeons. In classics, Ksharasutra prayoga is mentioned for treating Nadi vrana
and Bhagandara. Most of the patients find it inconvenient as it needs weekly follow-ups. Considering this, an
alternative method was selected. This study modified the conventional method by filling liquid Kshara into the
fistulous track in a single sitting. The case study was conducted on a male patient aged 51 years to assess the effect
of chemical cauterization in the management of Anal fistula, and assessment was done based on pain, tenderness
and discharge. The patient was assessed every day after Kshara filling for 1 week. Follow-up was done once a week
for 1 month, then once in 2 weeks for 2 months. All the symptoms showed highly significant results. Kshara is
highly caustic and can perform Chedhana, Bhedana and Lekhana Karma. If we make use of these actions of Kshara
in Low anal fistula, it may decrease the duration of treatment as well as recurrence.

Legal Confrontation of the Cyber Blackmail: a Comparative Study
Authors: Ibrahim Emad , Sharif Hanadi , Aboelazm Karem Sayed
Published: January 2025

Objective: Current Research addresses “Threats and Electronic Blackmail in the Egyptian and Emirati Laws” as a vital issue in several ways. First of importance comes from the expanding user circle via Modern Technological Means of Communication. Indeed, Sales Systems established by Service Providers are not restricted to one Social Group or Class, which can reflect many Crimes committed through these systems. Secondly, the Psychological Impact caused by the Crime of Electronic Blackmail seriously harms people, threatening the Human Right to enjoy tranquility and a sense of secure practices. Third, the Penal Legislation of different countries is not entirely consistent in confronting such crimes. Some have already designed Special Penal legislation to combat Modern Electronic Crimes, while others still rely on Traditional Texts included in the Penal Code.
 
Methods: This paper relied mainly on a descriptive approach to examine the Crime of Electronic Blackmail in addition to studying some legal frameworks that regulate the Crime of Electronic Blackmail. The comparative perspective was also used to identify aspects of the Crime of Electronic Blackmail in Egypt and the United Arab Emirates.

Authors: Hartini Sri , Purwoto Ady , Hartono Rudi , Apriadi Ari
Published: January 2025

Objective: After the enactment of Law No. 21 of 2011 concerning the Financial Services Authority (OJK), the supervision and regulation of Indonesia's financial sector, including Islamic banking, was transferred to the OJK. Nevertheless, Islamic banking operations must adhere to sharia principles, supervised by the National Sharia Council (DSN) of the Indonesian Ulema Council. This study explores the division of authority between the OJK and DSN in regulating Islamic banks, focusing on their conformity with sharia principles as outlined in Law No. 21 of 2008 concerning Sharia Banking.
 
Theoretical Framework: Theoretically, this research is grounded in the duality of regulatory oversight—secular and religious—emphasizing the coexistence of financial system integrity and sharia compliance. Employing a juridical-normative method, the study analyzes statutory laws, DSN fatwas, and their application within the regulatory framework.
 
Method: This study uses a juridical-normative approach to analyze the relationship between the Financial Services Authority (OJK) and the National Sharia Council (DSN) in the regulation and supervision of Islamic banking. This approach focuses on normative studies of relevant laws and regulations, such as Law No. 21 of 2011 concerning the Financial Services Authority, Law No. 21 of 2008 concerning Sharia Banking, as well as fatwas issued by DSN.
 
Results and Discussion: The Result and disccusion reveal that while the OJK holds comprehensive regulatory and supervisory authority, DSN retains pivotal control as the interpreter and guarantor of sharia compliance. This dual authority reflects a nuanced balance between maintaining financial system stability and ensuring adherence to Islamic legal principles.
 
Research Implications: The implications of this research underscore the importance of clear, collaborative mechanisms between the OJK and DSN to avoid regulatory overlaps or inconsistencies. Furthermore, this study emphasizes the unique dual-regulatory model as a hallmark of Indonesia's Islamic banking system, contributing to the discourse on harmonizing secular and religious financial governance.
 
Originality/Value: T The originality of this research lies in its juridical-normative approach to analyzing the interplay between OJK's supervisory role and DSN's authority, offering insights into optimizing regulatory practices in Islamic banking.
