Momordica charantia is a medicinal bitter leaf, which has been in use for ages by our fore fathers, hence the need to investigate its biological activities in order to elucidate its medicinal values. The proximate and mineral compositions of M. charantia were determined and its protein, fibre, phosphorus, calcium, potassium, sodium, manganese, iron, copper and zinc contents were 25.09, 5.01, 0.45, 1.04, 2.72, 72.6, 1.99, 1.77, 70.7 and 44.9 mg/100 g, respectively. The result further showed that the sodium content in the M. charantia is higher than all other elements present, hence helping in the maintenance of acid-base balance in the body. The phytotoxic assay of saponin extracted from M. charantia on maize seedlings was concentration-dependent and showed an inhibitory effect on growth of root and shoot of the maize seedlings. The phytochemical assay of the sample showed that M. charantia contained saponin (80.32%), phytic acid (60.40%), tannin (24.10%) and cyanide (15.5%), respectively. The antimicrobial activities of the saponin extracted from M. charantia was observed to have an inhibitory effect on the microbial growth such as; E. coli, Streptococcus pyrogens, Klebsiella and Enterobacter.

Enhancing the Antibacterial Activity of Ciprofloxacin Against Klebsiella pneumoniae by Inhibiting the AcrAB-TolC Efflux Pump System Using Phenylalanine-arginine β-Naphthylamide
Authors: Hussein Zeena Raad , Ghareeb Abdulameer Mohammed
Published: February 2025

Background: Klebsiella pneumoniae shows varying degrees of resistance to antibiotic treatment; this resistance arises from multiple mechanisms, including the increased expression of multidrug (MDR) efflux pumps. An efflux pump inhibitor (EPI) is required to overcome this challenge and restore the effectiveness of antibiotics against the present MDR K. pneumoniae. Objective: To investigate the synergistic effect of the EPI Phenylalanine-Arginine β-Naphthylamide (PaβN) and Ciprofloxacin (CIP) on the expression of efflux pump genes AcrAB-TolC, isolated from CIP-resistant K. pneumoniae. Methods: 50 isolates of K. pneumoniae were collected from five different hospitals in Baghdad, Iraq. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values were determined for the CIP and CIP and PaßN combination using the broth micro-dilution method conducted on ten isolates resistant to CIP. Moreover, the expression level of AcrA, AcrB, and TolC genes from four selected isolates of K. pneumoniae were measured using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). Results: K. pneumoniae isolates showed that 40/50 (80%) were multidrug-resistant, and 54% of isolates were resistant to CIP. The MIC was reduced significantly from 2–8-fold in the isolates treated with PaβN and CIP compared to the CIP-treated group. The gene expression levels varied among the four selected isolates, with a slight decrease in AcrAB-TolC gene expression in some isolates treated with the CIP and PaβN combination compared to those treated with CIP alone. Conclusions: The promising finding is the effectiveness of synergistic combinations between the antibiotic and efflux pump inhibitors in eliminating resistance of MDR bacteria.
Relative Levels of CEO Inside Debt and the Impact of Hedging on Shareholder Value
Authors: Nelson James M.
Published: February 2025

This study examines the question of whether poorly diversified CEOs with high levels of inside debt engage the firm in costly hedging activity to reduce personal risk exposure at the expense of shareholder wealth. This study utilizes multifactor asset pricing regressions on the returns from self-financing portfolios of hedging firms that are long firms with high levels of CEO inside debt and short those with low levels. When these returns are value-weighted there is no evidence of significant abnormal returns, suggesting in aggregate hedging activity is not carried out at shareholder expense. Using equally-weighted returns that emphasize the typical smaller firms, however, result in significant negative abnormal returns, suggesting these firms lack the managerial sophistication and economies of scale to hedge efficiently, but still engage in costly hedging activity to mitigate CEOs’ personal risks at the expense of shareholders. In all models, high CEO debt firms are less risky than their counterparts, mostly in terms of market, size, and profitability risks as evidenced with significant factor loadings.

The preservice teachers' student teaching program serves as a culmination activity for future educators in the Philippines. The quality of their training could affect the quality of the learners in the country. This study investigated the self-efficacy level and the learning experiences of 251 preservice teachers during the post-pandemic. The study employed a mixed method, specifically a sequential explanatory research design. A researcher-made semi-structured interview questions and one (1) adapted questionnaire were employed in the study. Mean and standard deviation were utilized for the quantitative data, while thematic analysis was employed for the qualitative data. Results revealed that preservice teacher's self-efficacy was high in both gender and all academic programs. Furthermore, three (3) themes emerged as preservice teachers' learning experiences, including utilizing pedagogical strategies and practices, hurdles and difficulties encountered, and managing obstacles. Results imply the need to strengthen, revise, and create policies on student teaching in State Universities and Colleges (SUC) in the country emphasizing flexible learning. Capacitating preservice teachers and improving their instructional capacity to adjust to any learning setup are also deemed essential.
Assessing Students' Progress in Chemistry: Using Multiple-Choice Questions and Performance-Based Assessments
Authors: Al-kafawein Jumaa Khalil , Al-Hilal Mohammed
Published: February 2025

This article aims to investigate the progress of preparatory year students in a single-quarter chemistry course at King Faisal University, using multiple-choice questions (MCQs) and performance-based assessments. The article evaluates students' conceptual understanding and application of chemistry concepts, compares the effectiveness of these assessment methods, and identifies areas for instructional improvement. The results of MCQs showed significant improvement in conceptual understanding throughout the quarter, with average scores steadily increasing. Performance-based assessments, such as projects, demonstrated enhanced problem-solving and application skills, consistently producing higher scores than MCQs. Moreover, comparative analysis highlighted the complementary nature of these methods in evaluating students’ proficiency. In addition, interviewing students provided additional insights and emphasized the importance of a balanced assessment approach. The study concludes that integrating traditional and performance-based assessments effectively captures students’ progress in chemistry. Recommendations include diversifying assessment formats and using technology to increase evaluation practices. Future research should explore larger sample sizes and additional instructional contexts to refine assessment strategies.

Published: February 2025

This systematic review critically examines the effectiveness of online peer feedback (OPF) for enhancing EFL writing skills in higher education. Analysis of 24 empirical studies reveals consistently positive impacts of OPF on writing outcomes, with effect sizes ranging from small to extremely large. Key principles for effective OPF implementation include adopting a formative approach, providing structured guidance, incorporating comprehensive training, and facilitating multiple revision opportunities. The review also highlights the benefits of asynchronous interactions and integrating diverse feedback sources. However, methodological limitations in many studies, such as small sample sizes and potential biases, necessitate a cautious interpretation of results. The findings underscore OPF's potential to transform EFL writing instruction while emphasizing the need for more rigorous, large-scale investigations. Future research should employ more stringent experimental designs, explore diverse OPF configurations, and examine the underlying mechanisms driving OPF effectiveness. This review contributes to the growing body of knowledge on technology-enhanced language learning, offering valuable insights for educators and researchers in the field of EFL writing instruction.
Ischemia Modified Albumin Levels in Patients with Insulin Resistance
Authors: Seker Rabia , Sahin Elif , Sener Aziz
Published: February 2025

Objective
Insulin resistance (IR) is a crucial characteristic of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and can also occur independently or in other conditions such as obesity and metabolic syndrome. Oxidative stress significantly contributes to IR pathology. Ischemia-modified albumin (IMA) is a biomarker of oxidative stress and has been studied for its potential link to IR. This study aimed to identify the relationship between IMA levels and IR.
Materials and Methods
We conducted a prospective involving 101 IR patients without Diabetes Mellitus and 101 healthy controls. HOMA-IR was used to classify IR and control groups. IMA levels were measured using a colorimetric method. IMA values were compared between the groups and correlations between IMA and other parameters were evaluated.
Results
There was no statistically significant difference in IMA levels between the IR and control groups (p=0.27). Additionally, no significant correlation was observed between IMA and HOMA-IR (p=0.60). Significant differences were found in glucose, insulin, and HOMA-IR levels between the IR and control groups (p<0.01 for glucose, p<0.001 for insulin and HOMA-IR).
Conclusion
Despite higher IMA levels in the IR group, the difference was not statistically significant, and no correlation with HOMA-IR was found. This may be due to the limited number of patients with high HOMA values, the need for more precise data on body mass index, and longer follow-up. Further prospective studies are required to define the relationship between IMA and IR.
