Formative E-Assessment Design in Online Learning Environments
Authors: Chen Li-Ling , Chen Chin-Mu
Published: March 2023

With the demand and significant prevalence of online learning, investigating the impacts of formative assessment designs on promoting student learning has never been more imperative than ever. The research compared the learning performance and engagement levels for a group of teachers who participated in two training workshops with the integration of two different formative e-assessment designs for their online professional development. Participants' learning of the introduced contents were assessed during the instructional process and their attitudes toward different formative e-assessment design strategies were also investigated. Research results indicated that different formative e-assessment designs made differences not only in students’ learning, engagement levels, and attitudes, but also in instructors’ behaviors in designing formative e-assessment for online synchronous instruction.

The parking building of Hospital Semarang is a space frame system that is assumed to be on soft soil (SE) and analyzed based on the Special Moment Reinforced Concrete Frame System (SRPMK). With quality concrete, fy=25 MPa, reinforcing steel quality, fy=420 MPa, and reinforcing steel quality, fy=280 MPa. Load analysis refers to SNI 1726 – 2019, and concrete regulations refer to SNI 2847 – 2019. Based on the results of the dynamic response analysis obtained from the program ETABS v19.1.0 follows the requirements of the variety of motion, with mode 1 showing the direction of translational motion X direction, which is 49,9%, mode 2 shows the translational movement in the Y direction which is 71.24%. Mode 3 shows the movement of the structure in the rotation, which is 57.72%. Dynamic base shear,  2393,984 kN, and  2743 4332 kN have met the requirements, reaching 100%. The earthquake direction applied was in the orthogonal direction with a redundancy factor value (ρ) of 1.3. There is no deviation between levels that exceed the allowable limit. P-Delta checking of the structure concluded that the structure remains stable. The results of the analysis of the cross-sectional capacity of the column obtained from the spColumn v6.00 program can be concluded that for a column with dimensions of 600x800, it is not strong enough to withstand the working load, because the minimum load is within the design strength of the interaction diagram. The maximum load is outside the strength of the interaction diagram plan. While the column with dimensions of 600x600 is still vital to withstand the working load because the minimum and maximum loads are in the strong interaction diagram plan.

Heirs are one of the vital things in family affairs. However, many problems occur due to the need for more education about learning inheritance. This gives rise to the dispute between fellow heirs to the point of causing disharmony in the family. Burgelijk wetboek, as a reference for Indonesian inheritance law, has explained various meanings and ordinances for an inheritance to possess the estate. But, in reality, many societies still have the unknown, resulting in the possession of the undivided property to meet personal interests. This makes researchers want to know about the control of inherited property that has yet to be divided according to the Civil Code, the underlying factors that occur, and their impact on heirs.

Ұлттық санамызды да, көркемдік қабылдауымызды да тез құбылтып жататын осынау жиырма бірінші ғасырдың биігінен артымызға көз салатын болсақ, ұлы есімдердің өзі уақыт шаңына жұтылып, тез көмескіленіп бара жатқанын байқаймыз. Көркемдік сипаты жалпы ортақ талапқа өз деңгейінде жауап бере алатын көптеген туындыларды өмірге әкелген, өз заманының танымал қаламгері болған Сапарғали Ысқақұлының балаларға арналған шығармалары жиырма бірінші ғасырдың биігінен қараған жағдайда да идеялық-көркемдік құнын жоғалта қойған жоқ. Мақалада қазақ балалар әдебиетінің ірі өкілдерінің бірі Сапарғали Бегалиннің шығармашылығы қарастырылып, оның жекелеген шығармалары ғылыми-аналитикалық тұрғыдан талданады. Сонымен бірге жазушының шағын жанрлардағы және поэзиялық шығармалары жөнінде ақпараттар беріледі. С.Бегалиннің басқа да замандас қаламгерлері тәрізді арнайы акцент жасай отырып жазған тақырыптарының бірі – Ұлы Отан соғысы жылдарындағы Кеңес халқының қаһармандық ерлігі. Оның Кеңес одағының батыры атағын алған жерлесіміз Нұркен Әбдіровтың ерлігін жырлауға арналған «Қанатты қазақ» поэмасының көркемдік лейтмотиві патриоттық екпінге толы. Батыр ұшқыштың туған елі, халқы үшін өз жанын пида етуін ақын әжептеуір шеберлікпен бейнелей алған. Қазақтың қос қаһарман қызы Әлия мен Мәншүкті  прототип етіп алған «Ажар» поэмасында ел басына қатер төнген шақта қазақ қызының өзі сұранып, майдан шебіне аттануы, сол соғыста көрсеткен ерліктері суреттеледі. Негізінде өзі қатарлас қаламдастарына қарағанда, ақын жырларында лирикалық-романтикалық сипаттары басымдау болып көрінеді.

Әсіресе көбірек талданатыны – «Бала Шоқан»,«Сәтжан» повестерінің көркемдік жетістіктері. С.Бегалиннің балаларға арналған шығармаларының өзінде уақыт тынысы, тарихи шындықтың көркемдік шындыққа айналуындағы шығармашылық ізденістері сәтті көрініс тапқан.

Талдаулар нәтижесінде зерттеу нысанының өнер әлеміндегі жетістіктері дәлелденіп, бұл жазушының қазақ балалар әдебиетіндегі орны жайлы жекелеген қорытындылар жасалады.

It has been established that sulfoxide with sulfones have distinct pharmacological effects. Commodity compounds like sulfoxide and sulfones find widespread use in many chemical disciplines. This is why organic chemists find the synthesis of sulfoxide and sulfones so interesting. In the process of oxidation, sulphides can transform into sulfoxides or sulfones. Comprehensive oxidation to the sulfones is significantly simpler than mild oxidation to the sulfoxide, but both can be achieved by the use of highly selective technologies.

Proximal Tibiofibular Joint Instability: An Underrecognized Cause of Lateral Knee Pain and Mechanical Symptoms
Authors: Miller Timothy L. , Curatolo Christian
Published: March 2023

Instability of the proximal tibiofibular joint is an uncommon and often unrecognized cause of lateral knee pain, mechanical symptoms, and instability. The condition results from one of three etiologies: acute traumatic dislocation, chronic or recurrent dislocations, and atraumatic subluxations. Generalized ligamentous laxity is a key predisposing factor for atraumatic subluxation. Instability of this joint may be in the anterolateral, posteromedial, or superior directions. Anterolateral instability is the most common type (80% to 85%) frequently occurring with hyperflexion of the knee with the ankle plantarflexed and inverted. Patients with chronic instability report lateral knee pain with snapping or catching often leading to a misdiagnosis of lateral meniscal pathology. Subluxations may be treated conservatively with activity modification, supportive straps, and knee-strengthening physical therapy. Chronic pain or instability is an indication for surgical treatment including arthrodesis, fibular head resection, or soft-tissue ligamentous reconstruction. Newly developed implants and soft-tissue graft reconstruction techniques provide secure fixation and stability with less invasive procedures and without the need for arthrodesis.

Authors: Meher Arati , Mohapatra Dipti , Devi Ellora , Behera Manasi , Mishra Tapaswini
Published: March 2023

Background: Assessment is an essential part of each and every education, which represents the learning of a student. If the assessments are performed regularly, it inspires active study habits and inevitably enhance learning.

Aim and Objectives: Formative assessments, which are performed regularly, increase the effectiveness of the learning. Hence, we aimed to observe the effectiveness of spaced formative assessments on the performance of students in summative assessments.

Materials and Methods: We selected 250 first-year medical students from the 22 to 23 batch. The students were categorized into three groups on the basis of formative assessment performance. Group I did not appear in the formative assessment, Group II scored <50% in the formative assessment, and Group III scored more than 50% in the formative assessment. Multiple comparisons of scores of summative assessments between different groups were done using ANOVA. Scores of formative assessment and summative assessments were correlated using Pearson correlation.

Results: We got a statistically significant difference (P < 0.05) in mean summative assessment scores in different groups. Again, the analysis showed formative assessments had a significant (P < 0.05) relationship with summative assessment performance.

Conclusion: The performance of formative assessments is predictive of summative examination scores. Academically poor medical students will be benefited from formative assessments.

Influence of Text Mediation Upon the Academic Identities of Novice EAP Authors: Review and Prospect
Authors: Pan Rongcheng
Published: March 2023

In order to provide an overview of the research on the influence of text mediation upon the academic identity of EAP authors, this paper reviewed the available literature on academic identity, identity construction in academic writing, text mediation and its influence upon academic writing. It was found that different mediators indeed play roles in the drafting or publication of manuscripts by English for Academic Purposes (EAP) authors, especially novice ones. The final version of a manuscript was thus formulated by both the named author(s) and many unnamed others, which covers the metadiscourse employed in the very manuscript. Since metadiscourse helps to shape the identity of the author, the mediators correspondingly exert influence upon the identity construction of the academic authors. However, little attention has been paid to the impact of text mediation upon the author’s identity. In view of this, this paper proposed the prospects for further research.

Published: March 2023

Algunos investigadores y profesores consideran que la teoría humanista del aprendizaje de idiomas, en la que el desarrollo emocional de los alumnos es uno de los objetivos principales, puede convertirse en una posible ayuda para alumnos que tienen ansiedad para hablar el inglés como lengua extranjera. Es así como el presente estudio hace uso del método cualitativo integrativo para identificar los estudios que, a juicio de la investigadora, son los más relevantes en este campo. Los resultados están agrupados en cinco grupos de información, a saber, los orígenes y el desarrollo de los estudios sobre ansiedad para hablar, el enfoque humanista particularmente de Gomes de Matos, las fuentes de la ansiedad para hablar, las estrategias más reconocidas para enfrentar a la ansiedad, así como, la gamificación como la estrategia más relevante para trabajar los problemas de ansiedad en los estudiantes. Se concluye que la teoría humanista tiene aplicaciones adecuadas para apoyar al docente cuando se encuentra con estudiantes que presentan ansiedad del habla.
The role of Emotional and Spiritual Intelligence in health and educational intervention
Authors: Vidal Barrantes Francisco Javier
Published: March 2023

Introduction: the study of Emotional and Spiritual Intelligence in educational and health contexts is beginning to be given great importance, due to the repercussion that these theoretical constructs have on human behavior and, consequently, on the exercise of the professional functions of students, teachers and health professionals. Objective: to find the relationship between emotional intelligence and spirituality and how those concepts can condition the behavior of students and health professionals. Methods: a narrative review of original articles, performing a systematic search through the EBSCHOHot (APA Pscycinfo), ERIC, MEDLINE, PubMed and SCOPUS database. The descriptors used: "Emotional Intelligence" AND "Spiritual*" AND "Correlation*. Results: this review included 7 articles, 6 of which are original and 1 is a critical review, referring to research carried out in educational and health contexts and conducted mainly in Eastern countries. The relationship between the constructs of Emotional and Spiritual Intelligence and the importance that these competencies have on human behavior is demonstrated. Conclusions: it is pertinent to carry out more studies that relate these two variables, as well as the need to introduce and work on these concepts in educational and health intervention contexts, with the aim of improving the competencies of students and professionals. Likewise, it is important to avoid confusing the concepts of spirituality and religiosity which, although associated, have different meanings and practical implications
Superior social cognitive abilities in childhood are associated with better reward-seeking strategies in adolescence: evidence for a Social-Motivational Flexibility Model
Authors: Tsomokos Dimitris I. , Flouri Eirini
Published: March 2023

We examined the role of a crucial component of Theory of Mind in childhood, namely the attribution of false beliefs to other agents, in the ability to adjust risk-taking strategies during decision-making in adolescence. The analytic sample was 9575 children from the UK's Millennium Cohort Study, followed at ages 5, 7, and 14 years. The ability to attribute false beliefs was measured at ages 5 and 7 years through a vignette version of the Sally-Anne Task administered by an unfamiliar assessor in a socially demanding dyadic interaction. Risk adjustment was measured at age 14 years with the Cambridge Gambling Task. Even after controlling for a range of individual and family factors, such as sex, ethnicity, verbal ability, family income, and parental education, as well as emotional and behavioural problems, we found that social cognitive abilities in childhood are positively associated with risk adjustment in decision-making during adolescence.

Authors: Suluhan Derya , Kose Kubra , Yildiz Dilek , Unay Bulent
Published: March 2023

Background: Epileptic seizures are controlled with antiepileptic drugs (AEDs). The purpose of using AEDs is to prevent seizures by maintaining the effective dose of one or more AEDs. Using a medication according to its prescription involving dosage and dosing times is expressed as medication adherence. Objectives: This study was performed to assess medication self-management and attitudes toward rational drug use among parents of children with epilepsy. Methods: A descriptive and cross-sectional design was used in this study. The data were collected using a data collection form, the Parental Attitude Scale for Rational Drug Use (PASRDU), and the Turkish Pediatric Epilepsy Medication Self-management Questionnaire (PEMSQ-TR). Results: The mean scores of participants (n = 192) on the PASRDU were 156.02 (standard deviation [SD] = 9.86), 133.02 (SD = 7.74), and 23 (SD = 7.58) on the total scale, accurate and conscious use subdimension, and effective and safe use subdimension, respectively. The mean scores of participants on the PEMSQ-TR were 81.38 (SD = 7.13), 42.4 (SD = 6.32), 24.3 (SD = 1.6), 11.36 (SD = 4.35), and 3.32 (SD = 1.94) on the total scale, information about epilepsy and treatment subdimension, adherence to treatment and clinic appointments subdimension, treatment-related obstacles subdimension, and treatment and social life subdimension, respectively. Parents’ educational status (F = 0.01, P < 0.05), child’s age at first seizure (U = 0.026, P < 0.05), frequency of seizure (U = 0.043, P < 0.05), age of the child (χ2 = 0.002, P < 0.05), and parents’ age (F = 0.036, P < 0.05) had a significant effect on the total and subscale scores of the PASRDU and PEMSQ-TR. Conclusions: This study showed that although parents of children with epilepsy had positive attitudes toward rational drug use, their epilepsy medication self-management was relatively poor. The improvement of the understanding of medication self-management can ultimately increase adherence, which will affect the clinical outcomes and quality of life in children with epilepsy.

Although threatened by climate change and unsustainable urbanization, foggaras are still in use today and for hundreds of years have been managed by the same customary laws and groups. They are an example of tangible water heritage and ingenious water works, adapted to the needs of an arduous environment along with local society and culture. Such structures can inspire future ways of engaging with nature.
Following Water at the Mantua and Sabbioneta World Heritage Site
Authors: Gioia Maria Estefania
Published: March 2023

Reflecting on water and heritage as a system linking nature and culture raises challenges and opportunities for both water and heritage management. This case study explores what integrating water and heritage management means for Mantua and Sabbioneta, two cities in Northern Italy listed by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site because of artistic, architectural and urban values associated with the Renaissance. It considers how World Heritage management recalls water-based visions, interactions between heritage institutions and water institutions and the role of water in innovative heritage projects promoting local communities’ involvement and challenging partnerships. It argues that embedding water and heritage relationships for sustainable development could be recognized as an opportunity for the Mantua and Sabbionetta World Heritage Site to integrate Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 11 and 8 with goals 4, 12, 15 and 17.
Reformulaciones dramáticas de Lázaro y el Lazarillo: análisis contrastivo
Authors: Calzón José Antonio
Published: March 2023

A través de las siguientes páginas se intenta llevar a cabo un estudio comparativo de dos de las principales adaptaciones teatrales dirigidas a contextos escolares que se han hecho del Lazarillo en las últimas décadas: la de Fernando Fernán-Gómez —publicada en 1994— y la de Miguel Murillo, de 2005. Si bien ambas comparten el hecho de pretender aproximar el relato clásico a los niños y jóvenes de hoy en día, sus enfoques y soluciones varían enormemente en función del planteamiento del adaptador. Así, cuestiones tan relevantes como el pretendido realismo, la estructura externa, la construcción epistolar, «el caso» o el núcleo argumental son resueltas de formas muy dispares, en función de los intereses e interpretaciones que de la obrita anónima haga el dramaturgo.

Published: March 2023

A través del pasaje de la pesca de Filódoces y Éfire en la segunda Soledad (II, vv. 415-511), Luis de Góngora busca perfeccionar el género de la piscatoria en castellano, que él mismo venía cultivando desde su época juvenil. La escena, que puede considerarse como una de «pesca mayor», cubre el vacío que existía en el género acerca de la descripción de pesca. Para este objetivo don Luis se inspiró en los pasajes descriptivos en tono heroico de la Haliéutica de Opiano de Anazarba en torno a la ballena y el pez llamado anthías.
El amor y la violencia. Relaciones entre deseo y subjetivación en Tirso de Molina
Authors: Tommasi Edoardo Maurizio
Published: March 2023

A través del siguiente estudio reflexionaré sobre las morfologías y las dinámicas del deseo en El vergonzoso en palacio, Don Gil de las calzas verdes y El burlador de Sevilla. Adoptando un análisis lacaniano, integrado con instrumentos constructivistas, afirmaré la existencia de categorías específicas de deseos de los personajes. El análisis de los textos manifiesta la necesidad de reelaborar la metodología del análisis psicológico de los personajes en términos conductivistas, en contraste con los análisis esencialistas y metafóricos que carecen de pertenencia textual.
Historia y ficción en la comedia El saco de Amberes
Authors: Truan Aguirre Elena
Published: March 2023

El saco de Amberes es una obra de teatro atribuida a Pedro Calderón sobre la que aquí se plantea una introducción a los obstáculos generales que presenta, junto a un análisis comparativo con A Larum for London, una obra de teatro de temática similar en inglés. Se explora el contenido de la obra como una traza ficticia basada en personajes históricos que, no obstante, son lejanos geográficamente para espectadores y autor. Cabe analizar la romantización del marco, la ideología, y los personajes, especialmente en comparación con otras perspectivas de la Revuelta holandesa.
Techniques of economic valuation of environmental goods
Authors: Vapa-Tankosić Jelena
Published: March 2023

Many companies in the environmental goods sector are interested in creating "added value". When looking at the viability of investing in production, companies starting out the production in the environmental goods sector should research production costs as well as consumer demand for new environmental products. Although the costs of environmental goods production can be roughly estimated, estimating consumer demand is a complex process. Questions related to determining the price of a new environmental goods product, the level of demand, the target segment and identifying consumer needs, which are inevitably present when introducing a new product to the market, represent the starting point for creating an adequate marketing strategy. This paper aims to explore the techniques of economic valuation of environmental goods as well as the concept of "Willingness to pay" for environmental goods or services. The paper shall analyze two basic groups of economic valuation techniques: revealed preferences techniques (RP), which observe consumer behavior and their choices on the real market, and stated preferences techniques (SP).
Role of intangible assets in global value chains: Evidence from the Slovak Republic
Authors: Ďurčová Júlia , Pekarčík Marek
Published: March 2023

Background: Slovak firms are very strongly integrated into globally organized production. However, their position in global value chains (GVCs) concentrates on downstream activities with lower value added generation. Purpose: Intangible assets should be an important driver of the creation and productivity growth of domestic value added and thus of international competitiveness. Key activities supporting the creation and productivity of value added within GVCs can be done through an innovation environment, investments in intangible ICT assets and improving the quality of human capital. Approach: This paper aims to analyse, according to econometric model based on panel data analysis, the role of intangibles in Slovak GVC participation. Moreover, the linkages between investment in selected intangibles and different forms of integration into GVCs-forward and backward, are examined. Findings: Our results show that the accumulation of intangibles is positively associated with Slovak participation and position within GVCs. The same result is confirmed separately for forward and backward participation. When intangibles are divided into three groups, only computerized information and economic competencies are significantly associated with Slovak GVC participation and position. They increase the quality of human capital, organization and management of production and create a favourable competitive environment. Limitations: Further research could be extended to a more detailed examination of the impact of intangibles on specific sectors. The availability of data on the creation of value added and thus involvement in the GVCs is a major limitation at the macroeconomic level. Therefore, it is necessary to verify these findings with an analysis at the firms' level data.

Cleruchoides noackae Lin & Huber (Hymenoptera: Mymaridae) was imported to Brazil in 2012, to manage the exotic pest Thaumastocoris peregrinus Carpintero & Dellapé (Hemiptera: Thaumastocoridae), which has been damaging eucalyptus plantations. Knowledge of the thermal requirements and the fertility life table of C. noackae is important to improve mass rearing methods for this parasitoid and the effectiveness of its release to manage T. peregrinus. The objective was to evaluate the development period, thermal requirements and the fertility life table of C. noackae at different temperatures. The egg-adult period of this parasitoid varied from 43 to 14 days at 15 °C and 30 °C, respectively. The emergence of C. noackae adults was higher at 15 °C, 18 °C, 21 °C and 24 °C than at 30 °C. Female and male C. noackae need 226.75 and 230.41 degree-days and temperatures higher than 10.06 °C and 9.90 °C, respectively, to complete egg-adult development. The number of parasitized eggs per C. noackae female was higher at 21 °C, 24 °C and 27 °C, with 5.82, 7.73 and 5.50 eggs, respectively, than at 30 °C (0.45). Cleruchoides noackae longevity was greater at 15 °C, 21 °C and 24 °C. The net reproductive rate of the parasitoid was higher at 21 °C and 24 °C than at 30 °C, 3.05, 4.70 and 0.16, respectively. The finite rate of increase of C. noackae was greater at 21 °C, 24 °C and 27 °C, than at 30 °C and the intrinsic rate of increase was negative at 30 °C, −0.100. The temperatures 21 °C and 24 °C and from 18 °C to 27 °C are the most adequate for the reproduction and population increase of C. noackae parasitizing eggs of T. peregrinus, respectively.

A critical factor in fisheries management is the protection of spawning sites for ecologically and economically important fish species. DNA barcoding (i.e., amplification and sequencing of the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase I (COI) gene) of fish eggs has emerged as a powerful technique for identifying spawning sites. However, DNA barcoding of individual fish eggs is time-consuming and expensive. In an attempt to reduce costs and effort for long-term fisheries monitoring programs, here we used DNA metabarcoding, in which DNA is extracted and amplified from a composited sample containing all the fish eggs collected at a given site, to identify fish eggs from 49 stations on the West Florida Shelf. A total of 37 taxa were recovered from 4,719 fish eggs. Egg distributions on the West Florida Shelf corresponded with the known habitat types occupied by these taxa, which included burrower, coastal pelagic, epipelagic, mesopelagic, demersal, deep demersal, commensal, and reef-associated taxa. Metabarcoding of fish eggs was faster and far less expensive than barcoding individual eggs; however, this method cannot provide absolute taxon proportions due to variable copy numbers of mitochondrial DNA in different taxa, different numbers of cells within eggs depending on developmental stage, and PCR amplification biases. In addition, some samples yielded sequences from more taxa than the number of eggs present, demonstrating the presence of contaminating DNA and requiring the application of a threshold proportion of sequences required for counting a taxon as present. Finally, we review the advantages and disadvantages of using metabarcoding vs. individual fish egg barcoding for long-term monitoring programs.

Aims: This study sought to determine the risk factors of Influenza by investigating the characteristics of patients with Acute Respiratory Infections (ARIs).
Study Design: An unmatched case-control study.          
Place and Duration of Study: This was conducted among residents of Shai-Osudoku (SO) and Ningo-Prampram (NP) Districts from April to November 2016.
Methods: Prospective cases of ARIs from a facility-based sentinel surveillance on respiratory illnesses were screened for Influenza-Like-Illnesses (ILIs). Respiratory samples were obtained from those meeting the case definition for ILI and investigated. A total of 147 samples were influenza virus-positive and selected as case-patients. Another 294 patients were selected as control-patients from the pool of influenza negative tests.  These two groups were used to assess the risk factors of influenza. Crude and adjusted odds ratios were calculated. A purposive selection logistic regression was used for the adjusted modelling.
Results: The study identified Influenza A(H3N2) and Influenza B as the predominant circulating influenza viruses. Study participants had poor knowledge on the causes and prevention of acute respiratory illness. After the multivariate analysis, ILI patients presenting with Chills had 4 times odds (aOR:4.57; 95%CI: 1.51 – 13.76) of having influenza as compared with the controls. In addition, ILI patients with recent travel history in past 2 weeks had 3 times odds (aOR:3.05; 95%CI: 1.07 – 8.73) of being infected with the influenza virus compared with controls with no history of travel.
Conclusion: The study provided clues for increasing the index of suspicion of clinicians in identifying patients with respiratory signs who could be at risk of influenza infection. Communication of the significant risk factors identified in the study to all health workers should be prioritized as an action. This important knowledge about factors associated with influenza among ILIs will inform early detection and appropriate health interventions to reduce the burden influenza disease.
The Possible Role of Cerebrolysin in Prevention of Hemorrhagic Transformation after Acute Ischemic Stroke
Authors: Elsaid Nada , Saied Ahmed
Published: March 2023

Hemorrhagic transformation (HT) is one of the most feared challenges in management of acute ischemic stroke (AIS) that affects both the treatment plan and the clinical prognosis.  The risk for HT is not monocausal and it is almost impossible to define a single target for prevention of HT. Thus, we consider that it is worthwhile to investigate and review the possible role of Cerebrolysin as a multimodal, pleiotropic neuroprotective and neurotrophic agent in the prevention of HT. Cerebrolysin has been the subject of multiple animal and in vitro studies, the majority of which have yielded encouraging results in terms of pleiotropic and multimodal neuroprotective and neurorestorative activity.

Cerebrolysin has been investigated in multiple clinical trials. Over the past 10 years, among the studies investigating the effect of Cerebrolysin in acute ischemic stroke, 5 studies have reported the extent of hemorrhagic transformation as a part of the outcome. Lower HT rates were reported for Cerebrolysin treated patients versus controls across all studies. Thus, the reported results are consistent across all studies, however, the differences did not reach the level of statistical significance except for one study.

The interpretation of these results is limited by several considerations. Despite these limitations, in the light of the clearly positive clinical results of Cerebrolysin on functional recovery and its favorable safety profile, a dose of 30 ml/day for 10-21 days may be given to reduce the risk of HT. This observation should be confirmed by further large randomized controlled clinical trials with standardization of the HT definition.

Published: March 2023

One of the man-made building materials used for a variety of construction projects is known as blocks. As long as the blocks can sustain the loads applied to them, they can be made from a variety of materials. The sand crete block, which is made from cement, sharp sand, and water, is a prominent type of block used for the construction of walls in many projects. This study is focused on the use of other naturally occurring building materials to replace the conventional ones in making of masonry blocks that could most likely guide in decreasing the cost of creation of blocks to be utilized for construction because of the significant expense of construction materials, such as cement and sharp sand. This study was focused to research the utilization of other construction materials (laterite and red earth). The materials used to make the blocks were subjected to a variety of tests, such as sieve analysis and specific gravity testing. Six (6) block samples were made for each of the three (3) types of blocks, totaling twenty-four (24) blocks. All of the blocks were cured using the open-air curing method, and the compressive strength test was performed on the 7, 14, 21, and 28 curing days of two (2) different blocks from each of the three (3) block types made. Every block was 5 inches in length. The results of the experiment (test) indicated that the materials were suitable for constructing blocks. After the blocks were crushed, it was discovered that none of them met the Nigerian Industrial Standard's minimum recommended standard of 3.45 N/mm2 for individual blocks (NIS 87: 2000). The compressive strength of blocks built with red earth ranged from 2.02 N/mm2 to 3.16 N/mm2, those made with laterite from 3.27 N/mm2 to 5.16 N/mm2, and those made with cement and sharp sand (sand crete) from 4.83 N/mm2 to 9.97 N/mm2.
