Background: Alcoholic liver disease (ALD) is a major public health problem worldwide due to its increasing prevalence and increasing burden on the health care system. ALD covers a variety of liver diseases caused by excessive and continuous drinking, from simple steatosis to cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. The pathogenesis of ALD involves a complex interplay of genetic, epigenetic, environmental and lifestyle factors that contribute to the development and progression of liver damage. The clinical manifestations of ALD vary depending on the severity of liver disease, ranging from asymptomatic disease to liver failure and death. Diagnosis of ALD involves a combination of clinical evaluation, laboratory tests, imaging studies, and liver biopsy to determine the extent of liver damage and guide treatment decisions. The management of ALD involves a multidisciplinary approach that includes alcohol cessation, nutritional support, pharmacotherapy, and treatment of complications. Prevention of ALD involves raising awareness about the harmful effects of alcohol consumption, implementing stricter alcohol regulations, and providing access to treatment for alcohol use disorders. This review summarizes the current knowledge about ALD, including epidemiology, pathogenesis, clinical manifestations, diagnosis, and management, and highlights the need for continued research to improve the prevention and treatment of this complex and challenging disease Material And Methodology: A Prospective observational study that was directed by the taking individually admitted patients and in the medicine ward utilizing data collection form with included the patents Complaints, medical history, medication history, investigation data and diagnosed with the pharmacological therapy to be collected in the google form designed as the patient profile form.

Published: August 2024

The relevance of this topic is that money laundering and terrorist financing is a problem of global scale in the world system. In any state, the emergence of money laundering and terrorist financing cases leads to a negative impact on the economy, as well as on the stable state of politics in the country. In this case, this illegal activity should be stopped by the influence of the state. At present, the world and national economies have become very vulnerable to their use in money laundering and terrorist financing. Therefore, the countries of the world should join hands and take measures to destroy money laundering syndicates. The purpose of this study is to compare the concepts of money laundering and terrorist financing. The authors have set the following tasks: to define the concepts of «money laundering» and «terrorist financing»; to study the main tasks of the concepts under consideration; to determine the types and stages of «money laundering» and «terrorist financing»; to identify the impact of these concepts on the state as a whole. In this paper such research methods were used as: statistical method, methods of analysis, classification, study and analysis of literature. In the course of the research the authors managed to find out that money laundering has the following stages: placement, layering, integration or extraction.

The authors present statistical data on money laundering and terrorist financing for the years 2021-2025. The scientific works of domestic and foreign scientists acted as the information base for writing this article.
Harnessing Community Resources: Exploring Management Strategies for SME Development
Authors: Marlina Rina
Published: August 2024

This qualitative study explores the utilization of community resources for small and medium-sized enterprise (SME) development. Grounded in grounded theory and thematic analysis, the research aims to uncover insights into the complexities surrounding this phenomenon. Scholarly literature serves as the primary data source, and a systematic search strategy is employed to identify relevant articles. Data analysis involves open, axial, and selective coding techniques to identify emergent themes and patterns. Ethical considerations are paramount throughout the research process. The findings reveal that social capital plays a crucial role in SME development by fostering innovation, collaboration, and access to critical resources. Moreover, management strategies such as microfinance initiatives, entrepreneurial ecosystems, and social entrepreneurship offer promising avenues for leveraging community resources. However, challenges such as limited access to financial capital, inadequate infrastructure, and regulatory constraints hinder SME growth and sustainability. Collaborative partnerships and capacity-building initiatives emerge as potential solutions to overcome these barriers. The implications for future research and practice highlight the need for further empirical studies to explore the effectiveness of different management strategies and the impact of emerging trends on SME development. Policymakers and practitioners should collaborate to design targeted interventions aimed at enhancing SME access to community resources and fostering an enabling environment for entrepreneurial activity.

Published: August 2024

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk membandingkan regulasi fintech dan perlindungan data nasabah di Indonesia, Filipina, dan Uni Eropa. Fokus utama dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengevaluasi efektivitas implementasi regulasi dan tingkat kepatuhan terhadap perlindungan data pribadi di ketiga wilayah tersebut. Metode penelitian yang digunakan meliputi analisis kualitatif dan kuantitatif, termasuk survei dan uji statistik inferensial seperti ANOVA dan Chi-Square. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa Uni Eropa memiliki sistem regulasi perlindungan data yang paling efektif dengan tingkat kepatuhan mencapai 90%, berkat penerapan General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) yang ketat. Filipina, meskipun lebih baik dari Indonesia, masih menghadapi tantangan dalam penegakan hukum dan kapasitas infrastruktur, dengan tingkat kepatuhan sebesar 75%. Sementara itu, Indonesia menunjukkan tingkat kepatuhan terendah (60%) akibat tantangan dalam implementasi regulasi dan kurangnya infrastruktur pengawasan yang memadai. Temuan ini menekankan perlunya perbaikan dalam regulasi dan pengawasan di Indonesia dan Filipina untuk meningkatkan perlindungan data nasabah, serta saran untuk Uni Eropa dalam mengurangi beban regulasi bagi perusahaan kecil dan menengah. Penelitian ini memberikan wawasan penting bagi pembuat kebijakan dalam merumuskan dan memperbaiki regulasi fintech di ketiga wilayah.

Datalogger prototyping for NH3 ground concentrations measures and comparison with NH3-IASI generated datamaps
Authors: Benabadji Noureddine , Rahal Farid , Menakh Imane Nadjah
Published: August 2024

Ammonia (NH3) gas is dangerous as it is highly toxic and irritating and so, causes severe burning of the eyes and respiratory problems (throat and lung damages) when inhaled in high concentrations. It is a colorless gas, with a strong suffocating odor. It is also a flammable gas (and may form an explosive mixture with air, when heated), and can dissolve in water to form ammonium hydroxide solution, a highly corrosive agent for any metallic based structures like bridges, boats, water tanks, etc… It can also react with other atmospheric pollutants, primarily SO2 and NOx, generating fine particulate matter which can pass through the lungs in blood. In the other hand, it is considered as an industrial useful hydrogen carrier of energy, and an additive to coal-fired power plants, and is slowly shifting from its natural use as fertilizer for agricultural industry to a “green and clean” fuel source. In this article, we describe in detail the use of an electrochemical sensor driven by a microcontroller. The principle of the measurement system is a chemical oxidation of catalyst metals, where conductivity varies with the target gas concentration. Mathematical calculations are also provided to convert the 10-bit numerical counts to meaningful NH3 concentrations in ppm, taking into account the temperature dependency correction.

Critical Evaluation of Emecheta’s Portrayal of the Female Gender in Second Class Citizens
Authors: Oladipo Temidayo David , Ogbeide-Ihama Mojisola A.
Published: August 2024

This paper examines Buchi Emecheta’s The Second Class Citizens, focusing especially on her portrayal of women in two societies. It highlights women’s struggles with traditional patriarchal institutions to treat the travails of women during the postcolonial period. Textual analysis method is employed to engage themes like patriarchy, women’s oppression, gender discrimination, female independence and assertiveness, domestic violence, how the early set of women who emigrated to Europe from Nigeria after independence were treated, and how their potentials were (almost) stifled. The work concludes that although, unjustifiably, women are wrongly treated in society when they earn less, yet even when women are the breadwinners, the system is still not in their favour. Educating the girlchild is lauded alongside the need for continuous demand for social change as the solution to women’s ill-treatment in society. Educating the girl-child will ensure she is enlightened enough to question the many ills of society, so that she is not maltreated as a second class in her own society and foreign lands.
Sub-National Governments’ Participation in the Economic Recovery and Growth Plan (ERGP) in Nigeria
Authors: Oladeji A. , Arawomo D. F.
Published: August 2024

The relative roles of the three tiers of government in public service delivery has emerged as one of the most important topics of open and vigorous debate in Nigeria. Being a federal system of government, there have been increased calls for intergovernmental fiscal relations in the country to be reassessed in light of a widespread belief that although the states and LGAs are assigned primary responsibility for the delivery of basic public services, they are not equipped with adequate revenue resources to fulfil their expenditure obligations. This study examines the prospects and challenges of sub-national governments’ participation in the Economic Recovery and Growth Plan (ERGP) which is the economic blueprint of the current federal government of Nigeria. Among others, the study observes that subnational revenue potential is limited by the inter-jurisdictional mobility of economic agents, with most naturally “local” taxes having low revenue yields. Hence, typically, subnational own-revenue sources are not commensurate with sub-national spending responsibilities, creating a vertical fiscal imbalance usually filled by fiscal transfers from the federal government. Of course, the almost exclusive reliance on federal transfers creates conditions for lack of accountability as sub-national governments may continue to shift blame and responsibility for service delivery to higher tiers of government that control the bulk of government revenues. The study also highlights the political and institutional constraints to sub-national government participation in Economic Development Plans in Nigeria, with suggestions as to how the constraints can be conquered.
Resurgence of Transnational Religious Non-State Actors in World Politics
Authors: Orogbemi Elias Olajide
Published: August 2024

This paper focuses on the role which transnational religious non-state actors play in world politics. Conventionally, world politics has been organised around the principle of state sovereignty since the Peace of Westphalia in 1648. The overall point is that nearly all countries officially organise both domestic and international politics according to “secular” principles, that is, where religious beliefs do not significantly inform decision-making. The Peace of Westphalia secularised world politics by undermining religion and enshrined the territorially bounded sovereign state as the basic unit of world politics. This paper covers some salient issues as regards religious non-state actors and world politics. First, it discusses how the international system evolved in a highly secular fashion after the great wars of religion in the seventeenth century and how these secularising events were expressed in the academic study of world politics in the form of the secularisation thesis (the idea that religion is losing potency in shaping world politics). Second, this paper examines the rationale behind global resurgence of religion in the second half of the twentieth century. Third, it looks critically at misconceptions among scholars, political leaders, soldiers, and government bureaucrats as well as the role of religion in changing the landscape of world politics. Finally, this paper brings into focus the impact of transnational religious nonstate actors on world politics, with particular reference to the Catholic Church.
Pure Economic Loss: Comparing Posner’s Idea of Economic Loss with the Treatment of Pure Economic Loss in English Common Law
Authors: Olusoga-Tinubi Hannah
Published: August 2024

This paper studies pure economic loss in torts with the aim of determining how well the law of torts, as developed in English Common Law, is well adjusted to the economics principle of efficiency. The study attempts to measure the efficiency or otherwise of economic loss doctrine in English Common Law by comparing the treatment of pure economic loss in the English legal system with economic criteria developed by Richard Posner– a United States of America’s Court of Appeal Judge, jurist, economist, professor and major contributor in the field of Law and Economics. This comparative analysis reveals that the economic loss doctrine is in harmony with the principles of efficiency in Law and Economics. Using the French legal system as an example, this work finds out that a legal system’s treatment of pure economic loss may still be in harmony with the principles of efficiency without necessarily relying on economic loss doctrine. This conclusion is however without prejudice to the fact that the English legal system, by alluding to the principles of efficiency, is able to determine not only the reason for the existence of certain legal rules but also the effect of such legal rules in the society thereby maintaining an edge over some other legal systems which fail to take into account principle of efficiency
Fractionation of essential oils: potential application in the control of microorganisms
Authors: Pansera Marcia Regina , Silvestre Wendel Paulo , Sartori Valdirene Camatti , Santos Murilo Cesar dos , Pauletti Gabriel Fernandes
Published: August 2024

Medicinal and aromatic plants are essential to the planet's biodiversity, ecosystems, and biological history. Consumer interest in natural products has increased recently as they present chemical complexity, biological activity, and environmental sustainability. Essential oils and their components are widely used in the food, chemical, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical industries, in addition to growing interest in using these substances to combat fungi and agricultural pests. However, for the agricultural application of these mixtures to occur effectively, separation techniques or processes capable of producing specific and reproducible fractions can be used. This review aims to highlight the properties and applications of essential oils and their components and the importance of vacuum fractionation as a tool for controlling microorganisms. Therefore, the development of studies that assist in the sizing and design of essential oil fractionation columns is critical when seeking to predict the behavior of such complex mixtures, as well as the products to be obtained, aiming for efficient and economical use of terpenes as alternative control agents against microorganisms. Additionally, a brief discussion is presented on the types of distillation of essential oils: simple, fractional distillation, vacuum distillation, batch, and molecular distillation, all economically and energetically accessible methods.
Antecedent and Aftermath
Authors: Sydnor Synthia
Published: August 2024

This article revisits a controversial 1998 Journal of Sport History (JSH) article by Synthia Sydnor titled “A History of Synchronized Swimming.” It focuses on interrelated aspects of selected academic texts both hostile and sympathetic to the 1998 article and exegesis of the theory, method, biography, and scholarship on which the article was based, underscoring that the composition, theory, and methodology of the article were influenced by beloved people, places, and new and older canonical thought that explored form, genre, and distribution of historical scholarship. The present article sets into historical and cultural context the provocative 1998 article; the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign; and the academic milieu of sport studies in the northern hemisphere from the 1970s through the early 2000s. From its 1998 publication onward, the JSH article was studied as an example of deconstruction, postmodern social theory, and the cultural and linguistic turn in scholarship. Some reactions from academia and popular culture to the 1998 piece from over the years are sampled. The 1998 work is summarized as encompassing facets of the avant-garde, postmodern theory, and modern humanities with intentional criticism, meaning, and narrative.

Dalam penelitian ini ditemukan bahwa Perilaku konsumsi Mahasantri Fadllillah masih banyak yang belum mampu menempatkan sesuai dengan kebutuhannya, yakni menempatkan kebutuhan taá¸¥sinÄ«yat kedalam kebutuhan á¸arÅ«rÄ«yat, menempatkan kebutuhan á¸¥ÄjÄ«yat kedalam kebutuhan á¸arÅ«rÄ«yat, dan menempatkan kebutuhan taá¸¥sinÄ«yat kedalam kebutuhan á¸¥ÄjÄ«yat hal ini dikarenakan masih banyak terdapat Mahasantri yang berperilaku konsumtif, yakni masih mengedepankan selera keinginan mereka dalam berkonsumsi, sehingga menimbulkan perilaku konsumsi yang bersikap israf (royal) dan tadbÄ«r (sia-sia) Analisis deskriptif dalam perspektif ekonomi Islam tentang perilaku konsumsi Mahasantri Fadllillah menunjukkan bahwa mahasantri telah mampu membelanjakan harta pada bentuk yang dihalalkan dan dengan cara yang baik, akan tetapi juga masih sama-sama belum mampu sederhana dalam konsumsi,serta masih bersikapisraf (royal) dan tadbÄ«r (sia-sia), karena Mahasantri Fadllillah memiliki peluang untuk lebih bertindak konsumtif.
