Authors: T. Vacalares Sophomore , E. Sta. Ana Brian Paul , Q. Dranto Daryl
Published: July 2024

Amidst the pandemic, the surge in unsolicited scam emails has made internet technology a significant concern. Distinguishing between scams and authentic/legit emails has become increasingly difficult. This research aimed to identify typical characteristics and language patterns found in emails. It also aimed to identify the common linguistics and technical features of the scams and legitimate bank emails. Two legitimate emails and two scam or fraudulent emails from different banks in the Philippines (i.e., LandBank and BDO). A qualitative method was used to analyze and interpret the language features of the two emails. This led to the identification of shared characteristics found in scams and legitimate emails. A scam email typically includes embedded malicious links, misspellings, formatting issues, suspicious email domains, frequent use of contractions and redundancy, tautology, and imperative mood. On the other hand, legitimate emails exhibit proper punctuation, accurate email domains, appropriate formatting, absence of spelling mistakes, avoidance of contractions and redundancy, and use indicative mood rather than imperative. Scam emails utilize modal verbs to manipulate recipients into divulging personal information. Recognizing these email patterns is crucial for educating users and reducing phishing risks. It is important to note that the interpretation and findings of this study are based on the entire dataset collected.

Authors: Akylbekova A. D. , Mukhataeva A. Zh.
Published: July 2024

The creation of a nanoporous silicon dioxide layer in the a-SiO2/Si-n structure was accomplished by irradiation with xenon ions at a cyclotron and then chemical etching with an aqueous solution of hydrogen fluoride with the addition of palladium. The truncated cone-shaped nanopores had diameters ranging from 486 to 509 nm. Then ZnS nanowires synthesized by electrochemical deposition (ECD) method, depending on the voltage at the electrodes of the electrolytic cell and as a result zinc sulfide nanowires with cubic structure and spatial symmetry group F-43m (216) were obtained. The sample is characterized by (111), (200), (220), (331) (311) planes, respectively, which is in good agreement with the cubic phase of ZnS. The charge-voltage characteristics (CVC) of ZnS showed that an n-type conductivity semiconductor was formed. Measurements of the photoluminescence (PL) spectra of ZnS were recorded on a CM 2203 spectrofluorimeter. The PL spectra were recorded in the range of 250 nm to 450 nm at room temperature. The PL spectra of the precipitated precipitates reveals emission in a wide UV-visible spectral range. It can be seen that the luminescence spectra have quite complex components and can be divided into five Gaussian curves. As can be seen the FL spectrum of the deposited ZnS consists of bands at 3.15 eV, 3.3 eV, 3.4 eV, 3.55 eV and 3.73 eV. Also analyzing the spectra energy dispersive analysis showed that the ZnS nanoproofs consist of Zn – 42.5% and S – 57.5%.

Authors: Singh Jasjit ,   Department of Clinical Hematology, Sir Ganga Ram Hospital, New Delhi, India.
Published: July 2024

Schnitzler syndrome is a rare chronic auto-inflammatory disease characterized by neutrophilic dermatosis and a monoclonal gammopathy of IgM type. The clinical features of this disease like fever, rash, arthralgias and lymphadenopathy often overlaps with the presenting symptoms of other diseases like Castleman’s disease, adultonset Still’s disease and lymphomas. But the line of treatment is different for each of these clinical conditions. Schnitzler syndrome is associated with over-production of IL-1 and therapies are directed against this interleukin. Here, we present a case of Schnitzler syndrome, who was initially diagnosed as multi-centric Castleman’s disease and was treated with only partial resolution of symptoms.
Native and modified starch nano-crystals loaded with doxorubicin mediated apoptosis in human breast cancer MCF7 cells
Authors: Bennet Lunawati L ,   College of Pharmacy, Union University, Jackson, TN, USA.
Published: July 2024

The present study was aimed at evaluating the effect of doxorubicin (Dox) loaded nanocrystals starch in human breast cancer MCF7 cells. A model for breast cancer, MCF7 cells, were treated with Dox loaded in S (native starch), NS (starch nanocrystal), ANS (acetylated starch nanocrystal) extracted from Oryza glaberrima Steud and compared with Dox (diluted in water). MTT assay, Hoechst33342, H2DCFDA, Live Death, and Rhodamine123 staining, and Western Blot were used to detect different signaling protein expressions and apoptosis. Hoechst33342 staining showed cellular apoptosis of MCF7 after treating with DOX loaded S, NS, ANS or Dox alone. Intracellular ROS levels, p53 and Bax/ Bcl2 expressions, and decrease in mitochondrial membrane potential were also higher in MCF7 cells treated with Dox loaded S, NS, ANS or Dox alone. To ensure Dox loaded S, NS or ANS did not cause any cellular damages to normal cells, HEK-293 kidney cells were used as control. Dox loaded S, NS, or ANS were as effective formulations as Dox alone to decrease progression and metastasis of breast cancer in MCF7 cells. This study provides a novel approach for further investigation since Dox loaded starch nanocrystals are effective and can prevent side effects of cardiotoxicity when using Dox alone.

Authors: Mwebaza Norah ,   Department of Pharmacology & Therapeutics, School of Biomedical Sciences, Makerere University College of Health Sciences, Kampala, Uganda.
Published: July 2024

We developed a population pharmacokinetic model to characterize the Pharmacokinetics (PK) of lumefantrine and its active metabolite, desbutyl-lumefantrine, in children under 5 years. Data were available from 55 children treated for uncomplicated falciparum malaria with standard 3-day Artemether- Lumefantrine (AL) regimen. Combined sparse and intense PK sampling strategy was used to obtain venous samples for 28 days. Using NONMEM, a two-compartment linear pharmacokinetic model incorporating lag time with first order absorption characterized the PK of lumefantrine. Desbutyl-lumefantrine PK was also characterized with a two compartment model. Inter-subject variability in apparent Clearance (CL/F) was explained by Body Mass Index (BMI) and age, while weight partially explained variability in apparent volume of distribution of the central compartment (V2/F). Ontogeny in CYP3A4, the isozyme metabolizing lumefantrine, was incorporated into the age component of lumefantrine CL/F model. Incorporation of BMI into CL/F model explained variability due to weight and stunting. For lumefantrine typical inter-compartment clearance (Q/F), CL/F, V2/F for a typical subject weighing 13.0 kg and BMI 16.62 kg/m2 , and apparent volume of distribution of peripheral compartment (V3/F) were 0.176 L/hr, 3.19 L/hr, 28.1 L, and 58.4 L, respectively. Lumefantrine CL/F was higher in children ≤2 year compared to those >2 years, notably decreased with increasing BMI (-1.10) and age from two to just less than five years (CL/FAGE: -0.423 (-0.648, -0.198)). Results indicate lumefantrine CL/F is a function of age and BMI. Our findings provide structural basis for future evaluation of rational AL dosing guidelines among under five year olds.

Bruno Latour e a ecologia decolonial
Authors: Barth da Silva Gabriel , Paes Coelho Nícolas
Published: July 2024

Considerando os debates emergentes envolvendo a ecologia, que ressalta a necessidade de trazer o debate ecológico enquanto elemento que atravessa as análises das realidades contemporâneas, o presente trabalho pretende analisar como diferentes epistemologias abordam essa questão, reinventando as formas de perceber o conhecimento, sua função na realidade, suas condições de constituição e os atores envolvidos na realidade cotidiana. Partindo da obra de Bruno Latour e de diversos autores que podem ser pensados enquanto compartilhando uma epistemologia ecológica decolonial, é refletido se a proposta ecológica nas Ciências Humanas e Sociais pode ser pensada a partir de uma epistemologia comum, ou se as diferenças em decorrência da tradição de pensamento local impossibilitam poder pensar uma proposta comum para a produção de conhecimento. Percebe-se que, ao passo que a descentralização dos agentes humanos é um ponto comum relevante, há limites nos debates sobre política e elementos que devem agregar na crítica ecológica.
Bus Priority Procedure for Signalized Intersections Based on Bus Occupancy and Delay
Authors: Schmidt Katia Juliane , Steinmetz Natalie , Margreiter Martin
Published: July 2024

This study proposes a bus prioritisation strategy at signalised intersections to enhance public transport reliability and attractiveness. Nowadays, bus prioritisation at intersections is conducted according to a first-come, first-served principle, lacking compatibility with future vehicle-to-infrastructure communication. A framework for prioritising buses based on their delay and occupancy was developed and tested in a SUMO microscopic traffic simulation subnetwork of the city of Ingolstadt. Buses are prioritised using a 25-level hierarchy. Four degrees of prioritisation interventions are implemented based on bus priority levels with signal cycles adjusted to advance preferred green phases. The timing of the prioritisation is based on an Estimated Time of Arrival (ETA) prediction that considers past speed and travel time data as well as bus stops that are on the way to the intersection. The prioritisation logic was tested in simulation scenarios with on- and off-peak conditions and with several buses requesting priority and varying degrees of priority. The results show that the developed prioritisation concept works, and prioritised buses benefit from a strong reduction in their travel times (up to 87 %) and number of stops. Buses with lower priority levels may experience deterioration in their travel time (up to 126 %) when arriving at the same time as a high-priority bus, but considering the fewer affected passengers and smaller delay, this seems acceptable.
Calibrating Car-Following Models Using SUMO-in-the-Loop and Vehicle Trajectories From Roadside Radar
Authors: Schrader Maxwell , Karnik Arya , Hainen Alexander , Bittle Joshua
Published: July 2024

This paper presents an innovative calibration method for car-following (CF) models in the Simulation of Urban MObility (SUMO) using real-world trajectory data from a 1.5 km signalized urban corridor, captured by roadside radars. By applying a sophisticated track-level association and fusion methodology, the study extends trajectory analysis beyond individual radar fields of view. The enhanced data is then utilized to refine the Krauss, IDM, and W99 CF models within SUMO, addressing the literature gap by integrating SUMO into the calibration loop, thereby accommodating the simulator's integration scheme and any model adaptations. The research identifies that default SUMO models tend to exhibit shorter time headways compared to real-world data, with calibration effectively reducing this discrepancy. Moreover, the W99 model, despite its unrealistic acceleration profiles when calibrated without considering acceleration, most accurately captures the higher-end energy consumption distribution. Conversely, the IDM model, with its default parameters, provides the closest approximation to observed acceleration behaviors, highlighting the nuanced performance of CF models in traffic simulation and their implications for energy consumption estimation. Detailed results of optimized parameters for each CF model are provided in appendix in addition to distribution information that may be useful for other modelers to use directly or other datasets to be compared in the future (including expansion of the work to include vehicle classification).

Published: July 2024

In this article, we consider a swelling porous-heat system with viscous damping and distributed delay term. It’s well-known in the literature that the thermal effect only lacks exponential stability. For that, we need to add another damping mechanism to stabilize exponentially the system. However, we prove, based on the energy method, that the combination of viscous damping and thermal effect provokes an exponential stability in the presence of distributed delay irrespective of the wave speeds of the system.

Annually, cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) claim the lives of more than 17 million individuals. In this study, hypolipidemia potential of Persea americana, Moringa oleifera, Chrysophyllum albidum and Capsicum annuum seed oils were evaluated. Fifty adult Wistar rats of both sexes weighing between 120 and 170 g were grouped into ten, with five animals in each group. The animals were stabilized for one week prıor to the induction period. The seed oils were administered in their meal for fourteen days. Blood samples were collected through a cardıac puncture into heparinized tubes centrifuged at 5000 rpm for 10 minutes and were used for haematological and lipid profile assays. Comparatively between the analyte and control groups, the result showed no significant difference (p≥0.05) in haemoglobin (HB) with a significant increase (p≤0.05) in the packed cell volume (PCV) level of the rats. In addition, there were significant reductions in the levels of triglycerides, total cholesterol, and low‐density lipoprotein‐cholesterol. Among the male rats of the analyte and control group, there was a significant increase (p<0.5) in the level of high‐density lipoprotein‐cholesterol ın their blood samples. This study reveals that the rich essential fatty acid reported in the seed oils has hypolipidemic effect potential.
Contrastive Analysis of Adjectives in English and Idọma Sentence Structures
Authors: Oluwakemi Titilola Olayemi , Sunday Amuta
Published: July 2024

English Language and its structural patterns share both similar and different features when contrasted with other languages. In this paper, the syntactic patterns of modification of the Noun Phrase (NP), a term rooted in Chomsky’s grammatical category, are examined in English and Idọma languages. The aim is to highlight potential implications for the Idọma learners of English language as a second language. Using Government and Binding theory for data analysis, the study draws insights from Contrastive Analysis. To provide data for analysis, two episodes of Okonone, a radio programme presented in Idọma and aired on Joy FM, are recorded and transcribed. Findings reveal that both languages have predicative adjectives and they function as subject and object complements. Adjectives can also occur after the indefinite pronouns in both English and Idọma sentence structures. Unlike in English language, adjectives are observed to predominantly occur post-nominally in Idọma Syntax. Similarly, while nouns can be used as adjectives in the English sentence structure, Idọma language does not provide for such a usage. To compare adjectives in English, standard morphological processes allow users to generate single words. Since Idọma speakers rely heavily on post-nominal modification, comparison is often embedded within the adjectival structure using two or three words. The study concludes that these similarities aid smooth learning of the English language while the dissimilarities impede the proficiency of Idọma learners of the English language.

Authors: Iachimovschi Anatolie
Published: July 2024

The objective of the study is to analyze the professional requirements related to the treatment of assertions regarding the key aspects of the audit in the context of reporting missions. During the audit missions, they must monitor whether the data collection and processing procedures are well established and permanently applied. The idea that it is the duty of the auditor to detect violations of the legislation is unanimously shared. At the same time, the auditor cannot be expected to report issues that do not belong to his competence. Mistakes in financial statements can be committed not only because of non-compliance with the principles of accounting standards, but also for other reasons explained in the article. In order to discover the errors and frauds listed above, the procedures recommended by the International Auditing Standards and those proposed in this paper can be extended. Presentations or disclosures made by an entity's management through financial reports are treated in various ways, which are not limited to the accuracy with which accounting information is processed. Affirming that the information in the financial statements is presented in accordance with the provisions of the accounting and financial reporting framework respectively, it can be concluded that the management, implicitly or explicitly, assumes responsibility for the recognition, evaluation, quantification, presentation and disclosure of the various elements in the statement financial statements and related explanatory notes. In practice, all cases of incorrect financial reporting a serious problem for accountants who want to properly apply accounting provisions, but it is also a challenge for independent auditors. The objective of an audit mission is to provide an assurance that the financial position and financial performance are adequately presented in the financial statements taking into account the provisions of the financial reporting standards. It is important that when starting the audit, the auditor will first of all obtain a sufficient understanding of the terms and conditions of the engagement.

Authors: Petroia Andrei , Stegarescu Ana
Published: July 2024

Women empowerment (WEP) refers to the process of providing women with the necessary resources and opportunities to exercise their rights, participate in decision-making processes, and have control over their lives. Empowering women has become a significant issue globally, with many organizations and governments recognizing the importance of gender equality in sustainable development. The purpose of this research is to provide an overview of the concept of women's empowerment principles, its evolution, and its importance in achieving sustainable development goals. The WEPs provide companies with a holistic road map to address the challenges women face in the workplace and to promote gender equality across their value chains, in their community engagement. Launched in 2010 by UN Women and UN Global Compact, the WEPs are informed by international labour and human rights standards and grounded in the recognition that businesses have a stake in, and a responsibility for, gender equality and women’s empowerment. The seven Principles constitute a primary vehicle for corporate delivery on gender equality dimensions of the 2030 Agenda on Sustainable Development. The investigative object consists in analysis of usage of WEPs by different companies globally, the benefits obtained by women in the work place and best practices to be applied by other companies. Drawing inspiration from successful companies worldwide that have implemented the WEPs can provide valuable examples for businesses in Moldova to become signatories of WEPs as well. These companies serve as role models, showcasing the positive impact that can be achieved through the adoption of WEPs in diverse contexts. By examining the importance of WEPs and its applicability, this research aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the principles that can empower women economically and concludes with a reflection on the potential benefits of implementing these principles and their significant contribution to creating a more equitable society.

Published: July 2024

The Republic of Moldova has recently embarked on a pivotal legislative journey to refine its Law on Competition. This initiative, taken a decade after the law's inception, primarily aims at harmonizing with corresponding EU directives to foster a more competitive market landscape. This research seeks to critically analyze the main facets of these proposed amendments. Key areas of focus include the revision of thresholds for economic concentration notifications, modifications in the determination of dominant market positions, and the introduction of globally-oriented terms like "total global turnover" for precise fine calculations. Additionally, while these reforms intend to create a market founded on transparency and predictability, certain provisions have sparked reservations among business associations. They highlight potential implications of swiftly aligning certain EU provisions with national legislation and the conceivable repercussions on the business milieu. The study aims to dissect these concerns, providing an analytical overview of the challenges and implications the proposed changes might bring to the Moldovan economic framework.

Children with autism have significant difficulties in communication, which negatively affects their further development and socialization. The study showed that the comprehension of speech depends on the intellectual level of development of students, speech development in General, and individual characteristics. The concreteness of children’s thinking, its lack of flexibility, and the inertia of neural connections require long-term development of each skill, its retaining in new situations and everyday life. The article presents the results of experimental teaching of speech comprehension development of children with autism according to a special program. Positive learning results let us suggest that children with autism are able to perceive and understand emotions if they are trained for a long period of time. Experimental training aimed at developing the understanding of speech among children with autism has shown that when choosing methods and techniques for working with this category of children, it is necessary to take into account not only autism spectrum disorders, but also the intellectual level of development of students, the speech development, and individual characteristics.

Protected cultivation can reduce the harmful effects of salt stress on the development of plant species. The objective of this study was to evaluate the growth and morphophysiological responses of E. velutina seedlings grown under saline stress in two growing environments. The experiment was conducted in an experimental area belonging to the Federal University of Ceará, in Fortaleza, Ceará. The experimental design was entirely randomized in subdivided plots, where the plots were represented by the growing environments (closed-screen greenhouse - CSG and open-sided greenhouse chapel - OSG), the subplots by the irrigation waters (0.8 and 5.0 dS m-1) and in the subplots the collection seasons (20, 40, 60 and 80 DAS), with four replications. Saline stress inhibited the growth of E. velutina seedlings in terms of height, leaf area, number of leaves and dry mass of the aerial part, but provided greater root dry mass throughout the growing season. It also affected gas exchange after 50 days of cultivation. The seedlings grown in the open shade environment on the sides and with lower salinity water had a higher Dickson quality index.

Hârizmşah Alâeddin Muhammed’in Moğollara yenilerek kaçmasının ardından Cengiz Han’ın emriyle Cebe, Sebütey ve Tokucar Bahadır komutası altında otuz bin kişiden oluşan bir ordu onu bulup öldürmek için görevlendirilmiştir. Batıya doğru ilerleyen bu ordu karşılarına çıkan herkesi öldürmüş ve şehirleri yakıp, yıkıp yağmalamışlardır. Moğol saldırılarından Azerbaycan coğrafyası da nasibini almış ve birçok şehir harabe haline gelmiştir. Cebe ve Sebütey komutasında başlayan Moğol istilası ve orduların Azerbaycan topraklarına girerek yağma hareketlerinde bulunması bölgede siyasi ve askeri açıdan önemli değişikliklere neden olmamıştır. Bunun da sebebi Azerbaycan topraklarında kısa süreli kalmaları ve kendi ülkelerine geri dönme isteklerinden kaynaklanmıştır. Hârizmşah Alâeddin Muhammed’in ölümünden sonra başkent Gürgenc’e dönen Celâleddin Mengüberti Moğollarla mücadelede bayrağı babasından devralarak ilk başlarda başarılı bir mücadele sergilemiş olsa da sonrasında Moğol saldırısından kaçarak Hindistan’a gitmiştir. Orda bir süre kaldıktan sonra geri dönen Celâleddin Mengüberti Azerbaycan topraklarını ele geçirerek devleti yeniden tesis etmeye çalışmıştır. Cebe ve Sebütey’den farklı olarak Celâleddin Mengüberti Azerbaycan topraklarında uzun vadeli bir yerleşim amaçladığından dolayıdır ki bölgeye gelir gelmez Moğol istilasından zarar görmüş ve harabeye dönmüş şehirleri imar ettirmiş ve bölgede kendi idari sistemini oluşturmuştur. Onun bölgeyi ele geçirmesiyle birlikte Azerbaycan Atabeyler Devleti’nin de siyasi varlığı son bularak tarih sahnesinden çekilmiştir. 1227 senesinde ezeli düşmanı olan Cengiz Han’ın ölümüyle birlikte adeta boşluğa düşen Celâleddin Mengüberti çeşitli hatalar yaparak kendi sonunu da hazırlamıştır. İlk başlarda Azerbaycan halkının da sevgisini kazanan Celâleddin Mengüberti atadığı memurlarının yaptığı yolsuzluklar nedeniyle Azerbaycan’da isyanlarla uğraşmak zorunda kalmış ve Öğedey Han’ın tahta çıkmasından sonra Baycu ve Çormagun Noyan komutasında gönderilen Moğol ordusu karşısında tutunamayarak Anadolu coğrafyasına kaçmış ve hayatını kaybetmiştir. Bu makalede, onun Azerbaycan bölgesini ele geçirmesi, Atabeyler Devletinin son bulması ve bölgede askeri ve siyasi faaliyetlerine kısa bir genel bakış sağlamayı ve bu olayın Azerbaycan tarihi açısından sonuçlarını vurgulamayı amaçlıyoruz.
Understanding engagement in intensive learning: From fuzzy chaotic indigestion to eupeptic clarity
Authors: Dempsey Willis Reilly A. , Vieira Braga Paulo
Published: July 2024

This paper is framed by Nick Zepke’s, Vicki Trowler’s, and Paul Trowler’s concept of student engagement being “chaotic”, suffering from “indigestion” and “fuzziness”. This study was conducted at a UK higher education institution that recently moved to a “block and blend” delivery approach. We investigated what students and staff think engagement looks like in an intensive block and blend learning context. Data were gathered from students and staff via an online survey, which consisted of both scaled and open-ended questions. Findings are synthesised in an elemental map, providing a comparison of students and staff perceptions of engagement. Specifically, students and staff thought engagement in an intensive block and blend context entailed participation and active learning; a mindset that included enthusiasm, interest, focus, and enjoyment; timely completion of assessments; relationships with peers and tutors; doing more than required, such as completing extra readings; and accessing help and support. Participants also identified attendance as an indicator of student engagement and determined that the university has a responsibility to create learning environments to foster student engagement. Overall, the study findings point to elements of student engagement that may be designed into intensive block and blend learning environments. These approaches are also relevant to other similar intensive learning contexts.
Impacto de la tutoría de trabajos de grado en la producción científica en entornos universitarios
Authors: Flores-Pacheco Juan Asdrúbal
Published: July 2024

Tras la finalización de los distintos componentes académicos de los programas de formación de grado (licenciaturas o sus equivalentes) se acostumbra la presentación de un trabajo de culminación de estudios, en la mayoría de los casos son monografías, tesis y similares. Con la misma importancia del cumplimiento técnico y metodológico de este documento es la correcta selección del docente guía, llamado tutor/asesor. Bajo este supuesto, este ensayo explora la definición etimológica y conceptual de la función del tutor académico de los trabajos de pregrado. Así también, se describen las principales tipologías del comportamiento actitudinal de los académicos y científicos que asumen esta responsabilidad. No debe obviarse que la carencia de orientación metodológica y pedagógica, así como la endogamia asumida inconscientemente al carecer de políticas de relevo generacional son factores desfavorables a los procesos de calidad educativa. Situaciones como las abordas son temáticas invisibilizadas por las Instituciones de Educación Superior que en la integralidad de su formación también deben de dar seguimiento y adiestramiento a sus docentes como elemento vinculador con los aprendientes.
