Authors: Latorre Barragán María Fernanda , Salgado Gallo Sebastián Alejandro , Guzmán Chango María José
Published: January 2025

Toxoplasma gondii is a protozoan parasite that causes toxoplasmosis, capable of infecting a wide range of hosts, including humans. Its severity depends on the risk factors of each person, with the immune status being one of the main ones. Thus, immunocompromised patients, such as HIV/AIDS patients, represent a vulnerable group. This microorganism can trigger a clinical condition that completely compromises the patient's life. Objective: Describe how Toxoplasma gondii acts in immunosuppressed patients and recognize how the immune status is associated with the intensity and severity of clinical manifestations. Method: A historical bibliographic review was carried out, obtaining information from SciELO, Scopus, PubMed, Google Scholar and Web of Science databases, between 2019 and 2024, in addition to relevant publications from classical literature. Results and conclusions: Toxoplasmosis in immunocompromised patients is potentially fatal. The impaired immune status allows the spread of the pathogen to accelerate and thus generate a multi-organ infection. Toxoplasma encephalitis is the most common clinical presentation, where headache, fever and loss of consciousness prevail, and can lead to seizures and death if the disease progresses.

Authors: Alkubaida Talal , Alghamlas Abdullah
Published: January 2025

The study examines the impact of flagrante delicto (being caught in the act of committing a crime) on the exceptional powers granted to criminal investigation officers in the Saudi system and comparative laws. The study aims to establish objective standards and controls for the authority of investigation officers in assessing the availability of sufficient evidence to take criminal action, while ensuring the rights and freedoms of individuals. The study addresses the concept of flagrante delicto, its conditions and cases, and explains that flagrante delicto requires rapid intervention by criminal investigation officers to preserve evidence and prevent tampering with it. It also discusses the exceptional powers granted to investigation officers in cases of flagrante delicto, such as arrest and search, which go beyond the scope of normal powers at the investigation stage. The study also reviews the legal guarantees governing these exceptional powers, and compares the Saudi system with other laws in Arab countries. The study indicates that flagrante delicto gives investigation officers broad powers, but they are restricted by legal controls to protect the rights of individuals. The study concludes the importance of balancing the requirements of achieving criminal justice and protecting personal freedoms, and provides recommendations to enhance the efficiency of criminal investigation officers and their commitment to applicable laws.

Teachers Continuance Intention to Use E-Learning Platforms for Blended Teaching in The Post-Epidemic Era
Authors: Du Jintao , Phongsatha Thanawan
Published: January 2025

Background and Aim: During the COVID-19 pandemic, there was a rapid transition to online teaching, which has led to questions about the future of e-learning platforms for blended learning after the pandemic. It is crucial to understand what influences teachers’ intentions to continue using these platforms, both for technology developers and educators. However, there is a lack of high-quality empirical studies on teachers’ perspectives regarding the continued use of blended learning technologies. This study aims to address this gap by examining the factors that affect teachers’ intentions to continue using these technologies.
Materials and Methods: In this study, survey data from 306 respondents who come from A university in Jilin province, China, were analyzed using structural equation modeling to validate theoretical constructs and hypotheses.
Results: Confirmation positively influences both perceived usefulness (p <.001) and satisfaction (p <.001). Additionally, perceived usefulness significantly impacts satisfaction (p <.001) and attitude (p <.001). Moreover, perceived ease of use positively affects perceived usefulness (p <.001) and attitude (p <.001). Furthermore, satisfaction (p <.001), attitude (p <.001), and compatibility (p <.001) directly and positively influence continuance intention. The perceived usefulness of university teachers in using the Chaoxing platform for blended teaching is related to their intentions of continuous use, but it is not significant (p > 0.05). However, perceived usefulness can indirectly affect teachers’ continued intentions by affecting their satisfaction and attitude toward using the Chaoxing platform for blended teaching.
Conclusion: The satisfaction, attitude, and compatibility of university teachers are important factors influencing their continuance intention to use the Chaoxing platform for blended teaching. While the perceived usefulness is linked to teachers’ intentions for continued use, this correlation is not found to be statistically significant. However, perceived usefulness can indirectly impact teachers’ continuance intentions to use the Chaoxing platform by influencing their satisfaction and attitude. Additionally, while e-learning platforms like Chaoxing offer flexibility and a wide range of resources that enhance the teaching and learning experience, they face technical issues and reduce face-to-face interaction. Addressing these factors can help optimize the effectiveness of such platforms in supporting blended teaching.

Authors: Wang He , Zhu Lu
Published: January 2025

Background and Aim: Higher education is undergoing profound changes due to advancements in technology and evolving educational strategies. Although traditional face-to-face teaching remains valuable, blended learning has emerged as a significant trend in global education. This approach enhances the interactivity and personalization of learning by integrating various pedagogical tools and methods. In music education, especially piano teaching, technological advancements, including computer technology and AI, are driving innovation. The incorporation of music software and AI technology offers students a richer and more tailored learning experience, addressing the limitations of traditional teaching methods. Digital-age online music education tools, such as XAPT, provide real-time feedback and personalized advice to piano learners, effectively supporting and complementing traditional teaching approaches and enabling truly personalized education. This study investigated the impact of XAPT-based blended learning compared to traditional piano instruction on student achievement in sight-reading, rhythmic accuracy, and touch-key skills within a piano course designed for non-piano majors. The primary goal was to assess whether the XAPT-based blended learning approach was more effective than traditional one-on-one piano instruction in enhancing student performance across these three skill areas.
Materials and Methods: At the College of Arts, Qinghai Minzu University, 69 non-piano sophomore students were recruited for this study. They were divided into two groups: the control group, which received traditional one-on-one piano instruction, and the experimental group, which underwent a hybrid teaching method based on XAPT. After 6 weeks of instruction, both groups evaluated their performance in sight-reading, rhythmic accuracy, and touch-key skills to determine the effects of their respective teaching methods.
Results:The results indicate that XAPT-based blended learning significantly enhances students' performance in sight-reading, rhythmic accuracy, and touch-key skills. Compared to traditional one-on-one piano lessons, this blended learning approach offers greater flexibility in practice, leading to improved scores in piano lessons.
Conclusion: These findings align with existing research and suggest that the XAPT blended learning approach can enhance non-piano students' performance in sight-reading, rhythmic accuracy, and touch-key skills in piano lessons to some extent.

Results: The findings reveal that deglobalization has led to significant challenges for Thai SMEs, including increased tariffs and non-tariff barriers, geopolitical tensions affecting logistics and supply chains, and financial constraints such as reduced access to trade finance and exchange rate volatility. Despite these challenges, some SMEs have successfully adapted by exploring new export markets, diversifying their product portfolios, investing in research and development, adopting advanced technologies, and forming strategic alliances. The results highlight the critical role of innovation, market diversification, and government support in enhancing the resilience of Thai SMEs in a deglobalized world.
Conclusion: Deglobalization presents both challenges and opportunities for Thai SMEs. While the increased protectionism and market fragmentation have disrupted traditional business operations, proactive adaptation strategies have enabled some SMEs to sustain growth and remain competitive. Government policies that provide financial assistance, improve infrastructure, and streamline export regulations are crucial in supporting these enterprises. Collaboration with research institutions and universities can further enhance their capacity for innovation. Future research should focus on sector-specific impacts, effective adaptation strategies, and the role of government policies in supporting SMEs in a deglobalizing global economy.

This article presents a research methodology that supplements known studies to solve the problem of a correct complementary analysis of vehicles with different drive units. This method can be used at the stage of selecting a car for specific tasks, as well as for in-service technical condition checks. A new method is proposed for analysing the impact of operating conditions on the mileage fuel consumption, unit fuel consumption and overall energy efficiency of vehicles. In the study, it was possible to determine the effect of changing the vehicle speed, road gradient angle and vehicle weight. Tests identifying fuel consumption and efficiency characteristics as a function of vehicle load were carried out using passenger cars with different drive designs. Carrying out tests under laboratory conditions on a chassis dynamometer bench enabled the precise determination of the change in operating conditions. The criteria adopted for the evaluation included fuel consumption and overall vehicle energy efficiency. The variable parameters included speed, vehicle weight, and the road gradient angle. The data for criteria calculation were acquired using a diagnostic tester with a functional parameter recording function. The application of the presented method enabled a comparison of the overall energy efficiency of two vehicles equipped with spark-ignition combustion engines, according to the criteria listed. The experiment showed that in a three-cylinder engine, unit fuel consumption is more sensitive to parameter changes under identical conditions (speed, vehicle weight, road gradient angle) than in a four-cylinder engine. To evaluate the drive units of the test vehicles, characteristics of changes in the overall energy efficiency were used as well. It was observed that in all testing variants, the value increased with increasing road gradient values, with the intensity of η increase not being constant. A car with a four-cylinder engine has a higher energy efficiency at low loads. The proposed methodology is relevant for evaluating vehicles with different drive systems (including hybrid) and adapting drive characteristics to the operating conditions. Partially the presented methodology can also be  transferred to EV vehicles - in terms of energy efficiency.

Toko Liv Beauty is one of the business players in the beauty sector that is developing in North Sumatra, specifically in the West Binjai sub-district, Binjai City. As a store that provides various beauty products, this research aims to assist Toko Liv Beauty in determining a strategic location for opening a new branch using the Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) method. The TOPSIS method was chosen for its ability to analyze alternatives based on positive and negative ideal solutions objectively. A case study was conducted at three potential locations in Binjai: Binjai City, Binjai South, and Binjai North, considering five main criteria: population density, ease of transportation access, number of competitors, rental costs, and building area. The analysis process involves normalizing the decision matrix, calculating weighted values, identifying ideal solutions, and determining alternative preferences. The analysis results show that the location with the highest preference is Binjai North (1), followed by Binjai South (0.5885) and Binjai City (0). Thus, Binjai North is recommended as a strategic location for opening a new branch of Toko Liv Beauty. The implementation of the TOPSIS method in this research is expected to contribute to more effective data-driven decision-making for the business development of Toko Liv Beauty.
