Authors: Ajmal Khan  , Faisal Nouroz  , Shazia Erum
Published: December 2024

Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) of the family Solanaceae is ranked globally as the fourth most important crop after rice, maize, and wheat. More than 7,500 different varieties of potato are found around the globe. In Pakistan the total area under potatoes cultivation is 134300 ha with production of about 2.5 million tons/annum. The availability of fresh and nutritive potatoes for human utilization is very essential. The present study was conducted to screen thirty-six potato genotypes for processing quality characteristics including specific gravity, dry matter and ash contents to determine their suitability for industrial use in compliance with food safety standards. The purpose of this study was to identify the new and best processing varieties considered suitable for industrial use and to recommend such varieties to the farmers for further growth. Among the thirty-six potato genotypes, 393594-72 (1.080 g/cm3), Kuroda (1.083 g/cm3), Potato-III (1.085 g/cm3) and Romeo (1.095 g/cm3) has the highest specific gravity, whereas Sarpomira (20.13%), 393574-72 (20.21%), Kuroda (21.1%), Potato-III (21.25%), and Romeo (23.38%) was found superior for their dry matter. The maximum ash contents were recorded in Sturna (6.65%) followed by Zia-III (5.55%). Most of the potatoes cultivars at any location produced tubers with a dry matter content greater than 18.0% and a specific gravity of 1.070 g/cm3, which are within the acceptable range for processing. The study was helpful in evaluation of best potato genotypes for industrial purposes and their cultivation by the farmers.

The Importance of Tenderness in Personal Relationships
Authors: Arboleda Piedrahita María Claudia
Published: December 2024

This article explores the significance of tenderness in human relationships and psychology through the contributions
of key thinkers in philosophy, psychology, and pedagogy. Drawing on the work of Gabriel Marcel, Jacques Maritain,
Maurice Nedoncelle, Dietrich von Hildebrand, and Juan Rof Carballo, tenderness can be presented as a transformative
force in human interactions, rooted in the recognition of the other’s dignity and the cultivation of mutual respect and
love. Marcel’s “I-Thou” relationship, Maritain’s Christian humanism, and Nedoncelle’s emphasis on reciprocity frame
tenderness as a profound way of being that enables authentic connections. From a psychological perspective, Erich Fromm
and Rof Carballo highlight tenderness as essential for emotional well-being and societal healing, offering a counterbalance
to the alienation and violence of modern life. Additionally, in education, as illustrated by Joaquín Benito and Alejandro
Cussiánovich, tenderness emerges as an indispensable element for fostering empathy, emotional growth, and spiritual
development. This article argues that tenderness is not a fleeting sentiment but a vital, transformative practice, integral to
personal fulfilment and societal cohesion. By embedding tenderness into human relations and education, we can cultivate
deeper, more compassionate connections that contribute to individual and collective well-being.

Published: December 2024

Este trabalho investigou o potencial do óleo de amêndoa de Acrocomia aculeata, conhecido como bocaiuva, como um inibidor de corrosão para aço carbono em meio de ácido sulfúrico. A corrosão do aço em ambientes ácidos representa um desafio significativo para diversas indústrias, resultando em perdas econômicas consideráveis e comprometendo a segurança de equipamentos. Em busca de alternativas sustentáveis, o óleo de bocaiuva foi explorado devido à sua composição química rica em ácidos graxos e antioxidantes naturais. Os frutos de bocaiuva foram coletados na região de Corumbá e submetidos a um processo de secagem, seguido pela extração do óleo por prensagem mecânica. As amostras de aço carbono AISI 1020 foram preparadas para os testes eletroquímicos, que foram realizados utilizando uma célula eletroquímica de três eletrodos. Os testes incluíram a adição do extrato de óleo de bocaiuva a soluções de H₂SO₄ em diferentes concentrações, e foram analisados através de potenciais de circuito aberto e curvas de polarização. Os resultados mostraram que a adição do óleo resultou em um deslocamento positivo do potencial de circuito aberto, evidenciando o efeito inibidor do óleo e a formação de uma película protetora na superfície do aço. As curvas de polarização indicaram uma redução significativa na densidade de corrente de corrosão, alcançando uma diminuição de cerca de 79% na maior concentração testada. O óleo demonstrou um comportamento de inibidor misto, atuando sobre as reações anódicas e catódicas do processo corrosivo. A análise por FT-IR confirmou a presença de ácidos graxos insaturados e saturados, que favorecem a adsorção na superfície metálica, formando uma barreira protetora contra agentes corrosivos. Os achados deste estudo indicam que o óleo de amêndoa de bocaiuva é um candidato promissor para uso como inibidor de corrosão em ambientes ácidos, destacando-se por sua natureza sustentável e baixo impacto ambiental.

Assessment of genetic diversity in cultivated as well as wild germplasm is the prerequisite for improving any crop through breeding and hybridization. The current experimental study was conducted at Maize Research Sub-Station, Charra Pani, Murree, Punjab, Pakistan during the crop season 2023-24 to evaluate the elite maize inbred lines for their genetic variation for key agro-phonological and grain yield associated traits including days to tessling, days to silking, plant height, cob height, cob length, number of grains per row, number of rows per cob, cob girth and grain yield. The experiment was laid out under randomized complete block design with two replications where row-to-row distance was maintained at 75 cm and plant-to-plant distance was maintained at 20 cm. The data was collected for the above given traits which were then subjected to statistical analysis. The results from the analysis of variance revealed that significant genetic variability was present among study key plant traits in maize inbred lines. Furthermore, correlation coefficient analysis was carried out to compute the magnitude and direction of association between different plant traits within and with grain yield. The results unveiled that grain yield had a positive and significant correlation with plant height (r = 0.4966*), number of grains per row (r = 0.5615*) and cob girth (r = 0.5386*) in studied maize inbred lines. To evaluate the variability present among maize inbred lines, principal component analysis (PCA) along with PC1/PC2 biplot was used which categorized these twenty-eight maize inbred lines into nine principal components (PCs). As revealed in PCA, plant height, cob height, cob length, number of grains per row, cob girth and grain yield were the major contributing traits to genetic variability present in the data along with twelve maize inbred lines i.e., YBH-1-1, YBH-1-2, YBH-1-5, YBH-1-6, YBH-1-8, YBH-1-9, YBH-1-10, YBH-2-11, YBH-2-16, YBH-2-17, YBH-3-27 and YBH-3-28.

Published: December 2024

Albuminuria, the presence of albumin in the urine, is a critical biomarker of renal damage, particularly in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Objective: The basic aim of the study is to find the prevalence of albuminuria in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Methods: This Cross-sectional study was conducted at the Department of Medicine, PAF Hospital Mushaf, Sargodha from June to November 2024. Data were collected through a non-probability/consecutive sampling technique. A sample of 176 patients, based on a 34% prevalence of microalbuminuria in type 2 diabetes patients from a previous study. Results: Data were collected from 176 patients with a mean age of 48.5 years (SD = 8.2). The sample comprised 51% males and 49% females. The average Body Mass Index (BMI) was 29.2 ± 4.5, with 45% classified as obese (BMI ≥ 30). The mean duration of diabetes was 9.3 years (SD = 4.5), with 38% of patients having had diabetes for over 10 years. A significant proportion (68%) were hypertensive, and smoking status was distributed as 23% current smokers, 28% former smokers, and 49% non-smokers. Regarding physical activity, 40% were sedentary, while 17% managed their diabetes through diet, 51% used oral medications, and 32% relied on insulin. Out of 176 patients, 47% (83 patients) had no albuminuria, while 53% (93 patients) exhibited some degree of albuminuria. Specifically, 37% (65 patients) had microalbuminuria with albumin-to-creatinine ratios between 30-300 mg/g, and 16% (28 patients) had macroalbuminuria with ratios above 300 mg/g. Conclusion: It is concluded that albuminuria is highly prevalent among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, with significant associations observed with age, duration of diabetes, hypertension, obesity, and lifestyle factors such as physical inactivity and smoking.
Migration Based on Refugee Deals Across the World: Comparisons with the EU-Turkey Deal
Authors: Elbert Ľudmila
Published: December 2024

Refugee deals are increasingly prevalent as states attempt to transfer their obligations under the Refugee Convention. The EU-Turkey deal, originally in the form of the Statement, is the most discussed deal within the European states, however, it is not the only deal considering the status of the refugees. This study aims to examine various refugee deals and compare them with the EU-Turkey deal. The comparative elements are based on the Michigan Guidelines on Protection Elsewhere, which defines basic pre-conditions for compliance with state´s obligations under the Refugee Convention within the arrangements with third states. Therefore, this study discusses the legal nature of selected refugee deals, their compliance with the international refugee law and human rights law, and the necessity for safeguards. The analysis reveals that each arrangement is different. Although all refugee deals aim to strengthen the border security of states and prevent human-trafficking, they have different objectives for transferring asylum seekers, different modus operandi, and impacts on human (and refugee) rights of the asylum seekers. A significant finding is that each asylum case should be assessed individually to ensure that the rights of particular person guaranteed by particular states are not infringed.
Changes in Attitudes Towards Migrations
Authors: Staničić Frane
Published: December 2024

Migrations are always active, and it is impossible to imagine a world without them.
However, migrations in the past decade have become a leading problem globally, especially in the European Union (EU). The EU migration policy and its common asylum
system are undergoing tectonic changes, as negotiations between the Member States
pave the road to a new and sustainable EU migration policy. Moreover, the need to
remake the Dublin procedure is obvious; consequently, the European Commission is
trying to satisfy national differences among Member States on the one hand and the
state interest-oriented approach on the other. In all this, it is crucial that the fundamental rights of migrants and asylum seekers not be overlooked.
Large disks touching three sides of a quadrilateral

Published: December 2024

We show that every Jordan quadrilateral \(Q\subset\mathbb{C}\) contains a disk \(D\) so that \(\partial D\cap\partial Q\) contains points of three different sides of \(Q\). As a consequence, together with some modulus estimates from Lehto and Virtanen, we offer a short proof of the main result obtained by Chrontsios-Garitsis and Hinkkanen in 2024 and it also improves the bounds on their result.

Introduction:

The introduction of generative artificial intelligence (AI) may have a profound effect on residency applications. In this study, we explore the abilities of AI-generated letters of recommendation (LORs) by evaluating the accuracy of orthopaedic surgery residency selection committee members to identify LORs written by human or AI authors.

Methods:

In a multicenter, single-blind trial, a total of 45 LORs (15 human, 15 ChatGPT, and 15 Google BARD) were curated. In a random fashion, seven faculty reviewers from four residency programs were asked to grade each of the 45 LORs based on the 11 characteristics outlined in the American Orthopaedic Associations standardized LOR, as well as a 1 to 10 scale on how they would rank the applicant, their desire of having the applicant in the program, and if they thought the letter was generated by a human or AI author. Analysis included descriptives, ordinal regression, and a receiver operator characteristic curve to compare accuracy based on the number of letters reviewed.

Results:

Faculty reviewers correctly identified 40% (42/105) of human-generated and 63% (132/210) of AI-generated letters (P < 0.001), which did not increase over time (AUC 0.451, P = 0.102). When analyzed by perceived author, letters marked as human generated had significantly higher means for all variables (P = 0.01). BARD did markedly better than human authors in accuracy (3.25 [1.79 to 5.92], P < 0.001), adaptability (1.29 [1.02 to 1.65], P = 0.034), and perceived commitment (1.56 [0.99 to 2.47], P < 0.055). Additional analysis controlling for reviewer background showed no differences in outcomes based on experience or familiarity with the AI programs.

Conclusion:

Faculty members were unsuccessful in determining the difference between human-generated and AI-generated LORs 50% of the time, which suggests that AI can generate LORs similarly to human authors. This highlights the importance for selection committees to reconsider the role and influence of LORs on residency applications.
Relative Citation Ratio Among Pediatric Orthopaedic Surgeons: Examining the Factors Associated With Higher Scores
Authors: Halperin Scott J. , Gilson Aidan , Dhodapkar Meera M. , Prenner Maxwell , Tuason Dominick , Grauer Jonathan N.
Published: December 2024

Introduction:

Academic scholarship is often valued by clinicians, peers, and intuitions. Quantifying the effect of research publications is challenging. Various metrics have been used to assess this. This study aimed to examine the relatively new research metric, relative citation ratio (RCR), introduced by the National Institutes of Health, for pediatric orthopaedic surgeons to establish the benchmarking of research effect within the field and understand the distribution and basis for the use of this metric among pediatric orthopaedic surgeons.

Methods:

The RCR indices were assessed for members of the Pediatric Orthopaedic Society of North America using the iCite online web service. The mean RCR (mRCR, the yearly average RCR) and weighted RCR (wRCR, the cumulative RCR score) were assessed for each member. This information was used to perform univariate and two multivariate ordinary least squares regressions for the two metrics. Independent variables were physician sex, years since receiving national provider identifier, MD versus DO degree, whether the physician had a PhD, and geographic region of practice (Northeast, Southeast, Midwest, West, and Southwest).

Results:

A total of 770 pediatric orthopaedic physicians were identified. The median [interquartile range] wRCR was 15.6 [4.9 to 54.2], and median mRCR was 1.4 [1.0 to 1.9]. Multivariable squares regression for wRCR showed an independently increased wRCR associated with male sex (39.11), PhD (23.32), years since receiving national provider identifier (4.51), and northeast region (48.44). However, these trends were not notable for mRCR where only southeast region was notable.

Conclusion:

Although each has its caveats, both mRCR and wRCR have a place in evaluating an author's publication history and other research metrics. Furthermore, it is important to know the overall research metrics within a field to allow for inter- and intraspecialty comparisons. Understanding RCR is helpful because it allows for new comparisons within and across fields and career lengths.
Surgeon Age, Years in Practice, and Location of Training Are Associated With Patient Satisfaction
Authors: Lu Laura Y. , Harris Mitchel B. , Chiodo Christopher , Chen Antonia F.
Published: December 2024

Introduction:

Patient satisfaction is associated with communication-related measures, empathy, and meeting expectations. However, it is not clear what surgeon characteristics are associated with patient satisfaction. As such, the purpose of this study was to investigate the surgeon sociodemographic, training, and practice parameters that may be associated with patient satisfaction.

Methods:

A retrospective study of patient satisfaction scores was conducted from 7,856 patients who rated 62 orthopaedic surgeons in 2021 within a single hospital system. Three questions from the National Research Corporation survey were used to assess patient satisfaction. Bivariate analyses and multiple linear regression analyses were performed. For chi-square analyses, patient satisfaction scores were recoded into either above the mean or below/equal to the mean score.

Results:

Overall, 57 male (91.9%) and five female orthopaedic surgeons (8.1%) participated. Mean age was 49.3 ± 9.9 years. Median years in practice was 14 years (range, 1 to 38 years). More years in practice was associated with lower patient satisfaction scores for careful listening (P = 0.048), likelihood to recommend the provider (P = 0.021), and total score (P = 0.029). Older surgeon age was associated with lower total scores (P = 0.039). Surgeons with 30 or more years of practice were more likely to be recommended (P = 0.030). Surgeons who trained in the Northeast for fellowship and/or residency were more likely to be recommended. Older surgeon age and training in the Northeast were associated with higher patient satisfaction.

Conclusion:

Older surgeon age and fellowship and/or residency training in the Northeast were associated with higher patient satisfaction, whereas 30 or more years of practice was associated with lower patient satisfaction. In bivariate analysis, female surgeons and foot and ankle training were associated with higher patient satisfaction, whereas spine surgeons had lower patient satisfaction scores. These findings suggest that patient-centered communication, patient-surgeon concordance, and appropriate help may improve patient satisfaction.

Published: December 2024

The presence of the COVID-19 disease has had an impact on the pattern of departures for the pilgrimage throughout the world, especially in Indonesia. The lockdown, PSBB, and PPKM policies have had an impact on reducing mass mobilization in the context of preventing COVID 19. The Hajj ban policy has resulted in a longer waiting list for Hajj departures. The longer the waiting list means that the Hajj funds accumulate and must be managed professionally and transparently. Law No. 34 of 2014 mandates the Hajj Fund Management Agency (BPKH) to manage the collected Hajj funds. Previously, 50% of Hajj funds were placed in Islamic banking, it is planned that in 2021 there will be changes. 30% of funds being placed in Islamic banking and 70% being invested in the Islamic investment sector, which is able to provide optimal returns. Therefore, this article was compiled with the aim of providing analysis and proposals for investment innovations that are Sharia-compliant and able to provide benefits for pilgrims who have already made Hajj payments, namely with an integrated halal system. This goal is achieved by using a literature review with Porter's diamond analysis to see the strength of the halal industry in carrying out institutional integration with BPKH. In addition, institutional analysis is also used to explore institutional patterns that should be carried out to achieve optimal management of Hajj funds. This study concludes that in the management of Hajj funds, strong institutions are needed, specifically those that have established Islamic ethics. The principles of trust and honesty are the main foundation for carrying out a halal-integrated system. In the implementation of Hajj fund investment, integration is needed between BPKH, MUI, Ministry of Industry, BPJPH, and companies that are already halal-certified.

Published: December 2024

Halal tourism is becoming increasingly popular among Muslim tourists interested in international travel. Internationally, Muslim tourists who travel a lot are young tourists, on average 24 years old, and have a good education. Statistically, Generation Z dominates travel in Indonesia. Generation Z is a generation born between 1993-2012 (30-11 years old) and known as "digital natives," which means they quickly adapt to digital technologies and are always connected to the internet and social networks. Understanding the behavior of Generation Z has never been separated from using smartphones. So, understanding the behavior of generation Z travelers in using smartphones on the go is important because they are a potential market in the development of the halal tourism industry in the next 10-15 years. This study focuses on understanding the influence of smartphone digital technology on the behavior of generation Z Muslim tourists in Indonesia when traveling in tourist destinations. This study uses an interpretive phenomenological analysis methodology by conducting in-depth interviews and observations of Gen-Z Muslim travelers using smartphones. The data obtained is then processed using NVIVO software. Data analysis used six stages of interpretive phenomenological analysis. The results in the study will show the superordinate theme that arises from the process of interpreting the experiences of the participants with evidence as presented by the participants.

Published: December 2024

This research examines the implementation of profit and loss-sharing financing in Sharia banking in North Sumatra. Profit and loss sharing is where one party, having capital (shahibul maal or rabbul maal), entrusts a certain amount of funds to another party, a business actor (mudharib), to carry out an activity or business. The theoretical basis of this research uses several main theories. The basic theory used in this research is Profit and Loss Sharing (PLS) with two main models, namely mudharabah and musyarakah. The ratification of Law of the Republic of Indonesia No. 21 of 2008 concerning Sharia Banking (UUPS) is a responsive effort to the growth of the Sharia banking industry in Indonesia. The main principle applied is the principle of profit sharing with different characteristics from the interest system, one of which is financing products. Although still faltering, the development of sharia financing has begun to grow significantly both through mudharabah and musyarakah. This research uses a descriptive research approach on qualitative and quantitative data carried out using pairwise comparison questionnaire interviews and documentation. The results are divided into five parts: analysis of research synthesis results, analysis of aspect synthesis results, analysis of problem synthesis results, analysis of solution synthesis results, strategy cluster analysis, and implementation model.

Published: December 2024

Sarcocystis causes Poor feed efficiency in intermediate hosts, leading to emaciation, fever, and an increase in the pH of the meat, all of which contribute to low-quality meat and Insufficient marketability. Some species of Sarcocystis are Zoonotic to human As S.hominis. This study included 120 randomly selected samples from the oesophagus and various muscles, including the diaphragm, masseter, tongue, and heart of cows and buffalos (50 randomly selected samples from cattle and 70 randomly selected samples from buffalo). The samples were gathered from various locations around Egypt, including the abattoirs in East and West Alexandria, Al-Boheira, Cairo, and Giza. Macroscopic parasitological examination was used to identify the macroscopic form of Sarcocystis spp. in the carcasses of cattle and buffaloes. This was followed by microscopic examination of Sarcocystis spp. using a trichinoscope, which was the most rapid and easiest method, peptic digestion for the most accurate method of detecting bradyzoites, and histopathological technique for identifying cysts and eosinophils linked to Bovine Eosinophilic Myositis (BEM). It was found that the prevalence of macroscopic sarcocystis in buffaloes was 48.57% (S. fusiformis) While in cattle was zero. Oesophagus is the most infected organ in carcass of buffalo with S.fusiformis 35.71% Followed by masseter muscle 7.14%. While microscopic sarcocystis in buffaloes 88.57% and in cattle 60% Oesophagus and masseter muscle are the most infected organs with microscopic form of sarcocystis in both cattle and buffaloes. The spring has the highest prevalence with a macroscopic sarcocystis (56%) in buffaloes. Macroscopic sarcocystis in buffaloes is more common in females than in males and in old than young. pH values were determined using meat samples in order to investigate the impact of sarcocystis on meat quality.

Authors: Durmaz Sevda , Bolatli Gunes
Published: December 2024

Aim: Changes in human populations and anatomical features are explained by various evolutionary processes, with cranial diversity being among the most striking. The skull is composed of three regions with distinct developmental origins: the cranial vault, face, and skull base. Skull morphology is known to have evolved significantly over centuries. This study aims to systematically examine anatomical changes in the skull and its formations over time by reviewing studies on skull morphology.
Materials and Methods: The systematic review was conducted between November 8, 2023, and December 20, 2023. Publications were accessed by searching PubMed, Springer, and Google Scholar databases using the keywords “human evolution”, “cranial anatomy evolution”, and “evolution homo skull”.
Results: A total of 82,043 articles were initially identified through the search. Of the 16 studies selected for in-depth review, 10 provided data on the geographic regions to which the skulls belonged, and 6 provided data on their estimated time period. All studies analyzed skull morphology through three-dimensional imaging, which was generated using various computer software programs.
Conclusion: Our review of studies examining skull morphology across different centuries suggests that factors such as time, temperature, location, climate, and environmental conditions contribute to variations in skull shapes and sizes. The findings indicate that skull morphology shows greater similarity across certain groups at younger ages, with differentiation increasing over time.

Authors: Hassan Ahmed
Published: December 2024

Away from environmental pollution and the problems of fuel combustion to produce energy from gas turbines or steam turbines from converting water into steam, now the alternative to solar energy has become facilitated. Because the temperatures generated by was solar collectors do not reach the temperatures of heat exchangers, it necessary to use a different flow fluid from water with lower evaporation temperatures and higher heat transfer efficiency, such as organic matter. The current research tries to identify the greatest circulation fluid to enhance the casting ability of the Rankine cycle powered by concentrated solar energy. A concentrated solar collector was designed, assembled, and operated to produce enough steam into a heat exchanger that contains a brine solution to operate the Rankine cycle, which operates with organic fluid. Many liquids, such as R22, R123, R433a, R143a, R40, R601, R600a, RC318, R1270 and R290, have been tested from 90°C to 300°C. The results showed optimum system performance when using R601 as the Rankine cycle flow fluid, with a capacity improvement of approximately 24.6%.

Ethanol and acetone extracts of Cucurbita pepo leaves were in vitro analyzed to determine the vitamin contents, antioxidant, anticancer, and antimicrobial activity of the leaves. According to HPLC analyses, the leaves contained slight amounts of vitamin C, A, and E. The analysis for antioxidant activity revealed that both ethanol and acetone extracts exhibited high activity values against ABTS+•, OH•, and DPPH• radicals. The total phenols and flavonoid assay revealed high values for the extracts. The MTT test revealed that both ethanol and acetone extracts exhibited cytotoxic activity toward human breast cancer cells (MCF-7). But no significant activities observed against hepatocellular carcinoma cells (HepG-2). The antimicrobial activity assay revealed activity of the extracts towards selected Gram's positive and Gram's negative bacteria. These results have provided scientific motivation to use Cucurbita pepo leaves as a medicinal plant to treat oxidative and inflammatory-related diseases.

Abstract
The objective of this article review is the determination of the concentration or amount of trace metal ions using Ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometry. The maximum absorption wavelength (λ-max) of the three metallic ions (Cu+2, Pb+2, and Cd+2) that I have highlighted are equivalent to (755 nm, 100-380 nm, and 323.9 nm) when they are alone, However, when these metal ions interact with a reagent, the λ-max of each metal ion differs. Ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) spectrophotometry is deemed an efficient method for both qualitative and quantitative analysis of pollutants in a water environment. This succinct statement outlines the focus of the article review, emphasizing the application of UV-Vis spectrophotometry for analyzing trace metal ions in water samples. Also, the analytical technique measures the amount of single-color lighting absorbed via a colorless substance in the close ultraviolet light region of a range (between 200 and 400 nm). The process required to ascertain the “identity, strength, quality and purity” of such chemicals is included in the pharmaceutical analysis. Using calibration curves and absorption band correlation with certain ions to find concentration metal ion or analyte in the sample. A bibliometric analysis classifies the top 10,000 cited UV-Vis papers (2016-2017) into four clusters: nanoparticles, photocatalysis, crystals, and biological interaction of Ag and Au nanoparticles.

Published: December 2024

This narrative study seeks to investigate the interaction between Clostridium perfringens and ECM proteins present in bones and cartilage, which are important factors in the body’s movement in individual division, causing the decomposition of dead tissues in the body into necessary materials for their nutrition, which reliably prevents innate and acquired immune responses, thus providing amino acids and other nutrients necessary for the bacteria to flourish and multiply. Recently, live and laboratory experiments have found that bacteria produce collagenase and stimulate the decomposition of collagen present in bone and cartilage tissues which may cause them to lose their natural structure and physiological functions. Finally, it has been shown that the importance of the research has reached the effect of the pathogen on the degradation of collagen in bones and cartilage.
