Published: September 2023

Hyperlipidemia is one of the main risk factors for heart disease caused by the formation of atherosclerosis. Eucheuma spinosum contains a natural antioxidant flavonoid, which has an antiatherogenic effect that can inhibit the formation of cholesterol in the liver so that it can prevent the development of atherosclerosis. This study aims to determine the effect of prophylactic administration of Eucheuma spinosum on the total cholesterol levels of Rattus novergicus induced by dexamethasone. This study was an experimental design with a post-test-only control group design. This study would use 24 white male Rattus norvegicus divided into three groups; a negative control group (K-) without treatment, a positive control group (K+) induced dexamethasone 8 mg/Kg BW on day 14 until day 20, treatment group (KP) given Eucheuma spinosum extract 200 mg/Kg BW on day 8 until day 20 as Prophylactic and on day 14 until day 20 induced dexamethasone 8 mg/Kg BW. After completing the treatment period, all groups were terminated and taken total calculation of cholesterol levels through the aorta of rats. Data was analyzed statistically computerized. The results of the study of total cholesterol levels that used Kruskal-Wallis test showed differences between groups (p<0.001). There was a decrease in total cholesterol levels in the treatment group (p<0.024) compared with the positive control group. The administration of Eucheuma spinosum extract as a prophylactic dose of 200 mg/Kg BW for 14 days could reduce the total cholesterol level of Rattus norvegicus induced by dexamethasone compared to those not given Eucheuma spinosum extract.

Authors: Aini Djunet Nur , Rizkawati Muflihah
Published: September 2023

Obesity is a health problem with an increasing prevalence every year in many countries including Indonesia.  Obese patients are at risk for complications related to some non-communicable diseases. The difficulty of losing weight in obese patients is due to low awareness of a good lifestyle, appropriate dietary patterns, and discipline in taking drugs to prevent complications. However, the need for drug consumption takes a long time. The risk of side effects arising from long-term drug use needs to be considered. Using herbal plants as an additional dietary intervention could be a better choice. This review described the benefits of the butterfly pea (Clitoria ternatea) flower as antiobesity. This study is a literature review by searching preceding published articles in Pubmed, ScienceDirect, Cochrane, and Google Scholar journals. The keywords used are (Clitoria ternatea) OR (Bunga Telang) OR (Butterfly pea) AND (Obesity) OR (Antiobesity). Articles are limited by publication period from 2012 to 2022 and then selected based on the criteria. This literature review concluded that the administration of Clitoria ternatea extracts (CTE) can become an alternative antiobesity by inhibiting weight gain, increasing adipose lipolysis, and decreasing the expression of adipogenic and lipogenic proteins.
Difficult Airway Intubation Due to Mouth Opening Limitation Caused by Mandibular Abscess: A Case Report
Authors: Yuhono Wiliam , Jaya Michael
Published: September 2023

Appropriate management of difficult airway is imperative, particularly in cases with anticipated difficult airway. It customarily requires deliberate perioperative assessment. In this article we present a case of limited mouth opening along with restricted mobility of the temporomandibular joint secondary to mandibular abscess which requires surgical intervention. Preoperatively, difficult airway intubation was expected (based on LEMON mnemonic on preoperative evaluation). Therefore, Macintosh video laryngoscope and fiberoptic bronchoscope was prepared to aid in intubation. Due to the patient’s anxiety towards the procedure, the intubation was done while the patient is asleep. Preoxygenation was uneventfully. Following induction with general anesthesia, several attempts to conduct nasotracheal intubation using Macintosh video laryngoscope were made but all were abortive. This failed attempt is primarily due to the limited mouth opening and jaw mobility. Hence, fiberoptic bronchoscope-assisted nasotracheal intubation was conducted and was able to achieve airway patency. In conclusion, preoperative management holds great importance in selecting airway management strategy. To add, fiberoptic bronchoscope-assisted intubation is a safe option for intubation

Published: September 2023

Sahip olduğu geniş coğrafyası, köklü ve uzun tarihi, tarihteki önemli buluşları ile dikkat çeken Çin’in bünyesinde çok sayıda farklı etnik grup barındırması, somut ve somut olmayan kültürel mirasının çeşitliliğine sebep olmuştur. Çin geleneksel kültürüne önem vermekte ve bu bağlamda Çin hükümeti kültürel değerlerini koruma yönünde stratejiler izlemektedir. Çin hükümetinin 2004 yılında UNESCO Somut Olmayan Kültürel Mirasın korunması sözleşmesini imzalayarak soyut kültürel varlık ve değerlerin yerel ve uluslararası düzeyde tanınırlığını artırmayı amaçlamıştır. Aynı zamanda kültürel değer ve varlıkların korunmasını anlayışı ve bilincini halk tabanında da oluşturmak adına 2006 yılında “Çin Kültürel Miras Günü” olarak her yıl Haziran ayında kutlanan özel bir gün belirlemiştir. Çin’in Somut Olmayan Kültürel Mirasın Korunması Hakkında Yasasının yürürlüğe girmesi Çin’in resmi olarak sahip olduğu mirası koruma konusunda ne kadar kararlı olduğunun bir göstergesidir. Bugün UNESCO’nun Somut Olmayan Kültürel Miras listesinde Çin’in 40’ın üzerinde kültürel miras öğesinin bulunması Çin’in kültürel değerlerinin zenginliği ve çeşitliliğini göstermektedir. Çin teknolojiyi somut olmayan kültürel miras öğelerinin korunması, anlatılması ve tanıtılmasında da sıklıkla kullanmaktadır. Bu çalışmada; öncelikle somut olmayan kültürel miras terimi ve korunması ele alınarak, Çin’in Somut Olmayan Kültürel Miras öğelerinin UNESCO’daki listesi ve Çin’in somut olmayan kültürel mirası korumasına yönelik yaklaşımları incelenmiştir.

Öz
Bu çalışmanın amacı, 1998-2022 çeyreklik dönemi için Türkiye’de hisse senedi piyasası oynaklığının konjonktür dalgalanmalarını nasıl etkilediğini araştırmaktır. Hisse senedi piyasasının oynaklığını ve konjonktür dalgalanmalarını temsilen, sırasıyla, Borsa İstanbul 100 endeksi getiri serisi (RBIST) ve trendden arındırılmış reel Gayri Safi Yurtiçi Hasıla (BC) kullanılmıştır. Hisse senedi piyasasındaki oynaklığın, konjonktür dalgalanmalarındaki genişleme ve daralma aşamalarındaki etkisini ayrıştırabilmek adına asimetrik yöntemlerden yararlanılmıştır. İlk olarak Markov rejim değişim GARCH (MS-GARCH) yöntemiyle konjonktür dalgalanmaları, genişleme ve daralma rejimleri altında incelenmiştir. MS-GARCH yönteminin bulgularına göre, RBIST, BC’yi hem genişleme hem de daralma aşamalarında negatif etkilemektedir. Ancak 2000’li yılların başında yaşanan Bankacılık Krizi, Küresel Finansal Kriz, 2016 ve 2018 Döviz krizleri ile son yaşanan Covid-19 Pandemisi gibi daralma aşamalarında bu etki daha nispeten daha büyüktür. İkinci olarak ise bulguları daha güçlü kılmak adına doğrusal olmayan ARDL (NARDL) yöntemi uygulanmıştır. NARDL yönteminin bulguları, kısa dönemde, MS-GARCH yönteminden elde edilen bulguları desteklemektedir. Kısa dönemde RBIST’in pozitif ve negatif bileşenlerinin, BC üzerindeki etkisi negatif, ancak uzun dönemde bu etki pozitiftir. Genel olarak çalışmanın bulguları, politikaların, hisse senedi piyasasındaki oynaklık ile konjonktür dalgalanmaları arasındaki ilişkinin doğrusal olmayan özelliklerini dikkate alması gerektiğini göstermektedir.

Published: September 2023

This phenomenological qualitative research study aimed to investigate the lived experiences of social studies teachers in a hybrid learning class amidst COVID–19 pandemic. There were five participants who were purposive and selected. Interviews were recorded, transcribed, and thematically analysed. Based on the findings, sixteen subthemes and four major themes emerged, and these are: Challenges in Hybrid Learning, Stability of Internet Connection, Necessary Support from Administration, and Coping Mechanisms of the Teachers. It was revealed that the teachers faced challenges in the delivery of hybrid learning classes, such as quality of equipment class, equipment, internet connectivity, preparation of instructional materials, and motivation techniques to be used in everyday classes. However, the school took action by providing basic computer equipment like speakers and headsets, internet providers and some materials they needed for teaching. In this new normal, flexibility, adaptability, adjustments, and considerations are needed based on how one understands, responds, and manages an ever-changing environment. It is recommended that the school administration intensify their assistance and provide high-quality equipment, complete materials and various trainings for their hybrid learning teachers. In online classes of hybrid learning, the teachers need to think of varied motivational techniques that will make the students active participants. Teachers may also need to attend webinars and training on the new strategies for conducting hybrid classes to enhance their skills in teaching online and face-to-face classes at the same time. Future researchers may conduct further studies using other research designs.

Authors: Escosura Princes Diane R
Published: September 2023

This study focused on the lived experience of employees in the Department of Science and Technology–Forest Product Research and Development Institute as to the motivation from monetary incentives or fringe benefits. The research design used was qualitative, with phenomenology as an approach. The study explored the experiences and motivation of Generation X and millennial employees in the Department of Science and Technology–Forest Product Research and Development Institute. Based on the results, employees reflected on their overall experiences that they manifest on non-monetary benefits or fringe benefits rather than monetary incentives they received. The employees were acquainted with the experience that arose from the testimony, which showed that motivated employees were more likely to be productive, happier in their jobs, and remained with their company for a longer amount of time by creating a great work atmosphere. Giving employees chances to learn and develop, enough incentives and benefits for excellent performance resulted in their satisfaction with their work. The researcher considered the employees experiencing job satisfaction and dissatisfaction based on Frederick Herzberg's theory, also known as the Two Factor Theory that developed to better understand an employee's attitude and drive toward the job. As an output, the researcher suggested establishing a committee of employees at the Department of Science and Technology – Forest Products Research and Development Institute named 4C's or Cope Capacity Counseling Committee, which aimed to promote financial, emotional, physical, social, and psychological concerns of the employee's motivation at their workplace.

Authors: Harbi Zainab
Published: September 2023

Ovarian Cancer is one of the most common causes of death for women in developing countries. Screening and early diagnoses of OC are urgently needed. Early diagnosis would help in consequence procedures and treatment. Mass spectrometry (MS) data is been used as an effective component of cancer diagnosis tools. However, these valuable data have a large number of dimensions that can affect the learning process in addition to time-consuming considerations. Feature selection plays an important role in reducing information redundancy, and deals with the invalidation that occurs in basic classification algorithms when there are too many features and huge datasets. To improve the automatic system diagnosis accuracy, entropy-based selection features are proposed. These features are combined with the novel learning capabilities of neural networks to achieve higher diagnostic accuracy. Experiments have been performed using different feature selection algorithms and machine learning classification approaches. Experimental results have proved that the proposed system performs better based on the measure of accuracy.

Authors: Alammar Minnatullah
Published: September 2023

This research was conducted to determine the optimal conditions for the addition, and withdrawal times of colcemid by culturing colcemid in different media and to examine the effect of colcemid on lymphocyte proliferation and chromosome quality. Peripheral blood (PBL) was collected in a short-term culture. The colcemid incubation period is one factor that may affect experimental results. Routine karyotyping procedures for lymphocyte cultures (blood cultures) include exposing cells to colchicine to stop metaphase cell division and visualizing chromosomes. The exposure time to colchicine in previous research is 1 to 2 hours. After adjusting the duration of exposure to colchicine to improve chromosome quality. Although genetic/laboratory experiments were standardized by division, different durations of colchicine exposure were performed to obtain longer chromosomes with split chromosomes. We observed that shorter periods of colchicine exposure resulted in better-quality chromosomes, while longer periods of colchicine exposure resulted in fertilized chromosomes.

The titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles were created using the photocell technique, and for characterization used XRD and TEM. The research population consisted of 60 individuals, both male and female, with renal disease and older than 40 years old who were on dialysis without taking any drugs. Two groups were created out of them (30 control group and 30 dialysis patients group). The two groups' serum was collected using a straightforward sampling approach. Creatinine and urea levels were measured for the control group, and for the dialysis group before the addition of TiO2-NPs; and also after the addition of TiO2-NPs. Furthermore, creatinine and urea concentrations were determined using a spectrophotometric method. The XRD investigations showed that titanium dioxide nanoparticles are crystalline and the size ranged from 11-29 nm, according to photographs taken using TEM. The present investigation showed that (TiO2-NPs) significantly lowered the levels of creatinine and urea in individuals with renal disease. Our findings demonstrated, for the first time, that TiO2 nanoparticles considerably declined the levels of creatinine and urea among dialysis patients. Future research should be done to confirm this affects TiO2-NPs.

The histological structure of the exocrine pancreas was examined in the current study for fifteen healthy adult female Laying hens. The study showed the pancreas was serous tubuloacinar gland, which has both an exocrine and an endocrine component, the parenchyma of the gland was encircled by a thin layer of loose connective tissue capsule. The exocrine part formed of acini (secretory unites) and excretory ducts. In the current study, the shape of the acini were ovoid, rounded or elongated, were lined by a single layer of pyramidal to columnar cells. The duct system started from centroacinar cells and was organized as intercalated ducts, intra lobular ducts, inter lobular ducts, and main pancreatic ducts. The intercalated ducts were lined by single layer of simple squamous, intra lobular ducts was encircled by simple cuboidal cells, interlobular ducts was lined with simple columnar epithelium and the main ducts were lined with simple columnar epithelial cells. The pancreas of Laying hens was identical to other bird species, but with a few minor species.

Authors: Yaseen Samer , Al-Saphory Raheam
Published: September 2023

In this research, we introduce an improved analytical approximation technique for addressing the time-fractional Sharma-Tasso-Olever problem. To manage nonlinear fractional differential equations that emerge in numerous physical phenomena, we establish an alternative basis for the Laplace Residual Power Series approach (LRPSA). The generalized Taylor series equation and residual functions form the foundation of this strategy. The proposed solution yields positive outcomes. The dependability, efficiency, and simplicity of the suggested method are showcased across all categories of fractional nonlinear problems encountered in technological and scientific domains. Two examples are given to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach in solving various kinds of fractional ordinary differential equations. A comparison with other techniques such as RPS, VIM, HPM reveals that our method produces favourable and efficient results.

Applying Adomian Decomposition Method for solving the Covid-19 epidemic with Vaccine
Authors: Faisal Somaya Saad
Published: September 2023

Abstract— A pandemic Covid-19 is an epidemic that spreads over a big region, Crosse international borders, and often affects a lot of people. Only a few pandemics result in severe illness in a subset of people or in an entire community. The virus has mainly affects the elderly population. The virus, that causes Covid-19, has mainly been transmitted through droplet generate once an infected persons exhales, sneezes and coughs. These symptoms are too heavy; to hang in air, and quickly, fall on surface or floor. The COVID-19 pandemic model including the Vaccination Campaign is of natural phenomenon which can be represented as a system of differential equations for the first order; the mathematical models include a system of several second order nonlinear equations. We applied the Adomian decomposition methods to the mathematical models of Covid-19. The main advantage of this method is that it can be directly applied to all kinds of linear and nonlinear differential equations, homogeneous or nonhomogeneous, with constant or variable coefficients.  The derivatives of all compartments of the coronavirus model are continuous at t ≥ 0. The solutions of the model are non-negativity. It indicates that the, infection, will be gradually the epidemic and disappear will, stop.  If, R_0>1, the average of each affected individually. More than one person has infected, and the incidence of infection is in wrinkles. That means the epidemic, will not be end, while maintain the existence of the disease, the R_0=1 means that each infected patient results in an average infections.

Obesity in western Iraqi patients: the involvement of glutathione peroxidase, catalase, superoxide dismutase, and malondialdehyde
Authors: Alaa  , Maryam I. Salman
Published: September 2023

Abstract

In this study, the relationship between obesity and antioxidant enzymes such as superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione, and catalase, as well as oxidative stress marker malondialdehyde (MDA) was investigated. The results showed no significant change in SOD serum levels in obese groups compared to healthy groups. However, glutathione and catalase levels were found to be significantly lower in obese individuals. Studies have suggested that reduced glutathione and catalase activity may be associated with insulin resistance and other metabolic abnormalities commonly seen in obesity. In contrast, the current research found no significant correlation between MDA levels and obesity, although some studies have reported a positive correlation between them. Further research is needed to better understand the underlying mechanisms and to investigate potential interventions targeting oxidative stress in the prevention and management of obesity.

Keywords: Glutathione peroxidase, catalase, SOD, MDA, Obesity, antioxidants, oxidants.

Published: September 2023

Abstract: In this work, we'll develop a novel text message steganography concept. In the proposed system, in fact, there is no hiding process in the cover-image, but the image is very important in retrieving the plaintext after it has been encrypted. The suggested system depends on comparing the bits of message, want to be hidden, with bits of the cover image, if they are similar then the index of the similar bit is recoded. After finishing all the message text, we obtain a list of indices, these indices are encrypted. Lastly, the image and the encrypted indices are being send to the receiver part. This style means no hiding be done in the image cover. The cover-images are shown before and after the acts of the proposed stego-system to prove that’s no effects have done in the cover-images.
