Effects of High Doses of Sodium Metavanadate on the Thyroid Status in Rats
Authors: Golovina Daria P. , Shelomentsev Ivan G. , Gribova Julia V.
Published: October 2023

Introduction: The widespread use of vanadium in the metallurgical industry leads to its high content in the workplace air, which poses a threat to human health both in the workforce and the community. Vanadium accumulates in many organs and has a toxic effect; yet, studies of its effects on the thyroid gland are scarce and narrowly focused. This study is aimed at establishing the effect of vanadium on the functioning of the thyroid gland.
Objective: To establish thyroid status in rats after a single intraperitoneal injection of sodium metavanadate.
Materials and methods: Twenty-six male Wistar rats aged 3 months weighing more than 200 g were divided into a control group (10 animals) exposed to distilled water and two exposure groups (V11 and V18) of eight animals each intraperitoneally exposed to 11 and 18 mg of sodium metavanadate per kg of body weight, respectively. Serum levels of
the thyroid-stimulating hormone, total and free thyroxine and triiodothyronine were determined by enzyme immunoassay.
Results: We observed that the high single exposure dose of sodium metavanadate caused significant changes in thyroid hormone levels. Administration of sodium metavanadate at the dose of 11 mg/kg b.w. induced an increase in the levels of total and free thyroxine but a decrease in the ratio of total triiodothyronine to total thyroxine compared with the controls. Administration of a higher dose of the compound (18 mg/kg b.w.) increased the levels of free triiodothyronine, free thyroxine, the ratio of free triiodothyronine to total triiodothyronine, and the ratio of free thyroxine to total thyroxine
compared with the controls. We also noted the differences in health effects between the exposure groups, such as a higher level of free triiodothyronine and higher ratios of free triiodothyronine to total triiodothyronine and of free thyroxine to total thyroxine in the V11 exposure group.
Conclusions: Our findings show that a single intraperitoneal injection of sodium metavanadate at high doses of 11 and 18 mg/kg b.w. suppresses thyroid function and induces hypothyroidism, even 14 days after administration.

Introduction: Changes in the composition of surface water caused by hydrological and climatic processes and anthropogenic effluents affect its properties, making it potentially hazardous to human health. Monitoring of water quality and safety does not take into account all potentially dangerous elements and their compounds the man can be
exposed to, since the occurrence of new substances and recombination of existing ones is accompanied by a continuous transformation of the physicochemical composition of water, which determines its biological properties. This screening study opens new perspectives for biological testing on cell cultures as an approach to assessing water safety.
Objective: To examine the method of bioassay of general indicators of water using rat fibroblasts and a regression model.
Materials and methods: We tested physicochemical parameters of water of a surface drinking water source sampled in fall 2020 and winter–summer 2021 and assessed its safety on rat fibroblast cells using the MTT assay. We then built a regression model of the cellular response based on 20 indicators, with the choice of the most significant predictors.
Results: We revealed seasonal fluctuations in the physicochemical composition of surface water with no toxicity limits exceeded. The lowest values of dehydrogenase activity of the fibroblast cell culture were revealed following the exposure to water sampled in autumn while that taken in summer had the most favorable effect on cell viability.
Conclusions: We revealed changes in physicochemical indicators characterizing quality and safety of source water in different seasons. Testing of the method of water bioassay (MTT assay) on the culture of rat fibroblast cells showed sensitivity in relation to general indicators of water quality. Based on mathematical modeling, we established that dissolved iron, which can serve as an indicator of changes in metabolic processes, is a parameter that reliably characterizes toxic effects on the fibroblast cell culture.

Introduction: Air pollution with nanoparticles (NPs) of different chemical composition is registered almost everywhere and, along with the growing use of nanotechnology products, poses serious human health risks related to NP exposure, included those for the nervous system.
Objective: To compare changes in functioning of the central nervous system in rats following subchronic intraperitoneal exposure to nickel, manganese, copper, zinc, lead, silicon, and titanium oxide nanoparticles based on the results of behavioral tests.
Materials and methods: We compared findings of our own subchronic toxicity studies of Ni, Mn, Cu, Zn, Pb, Si, and Ti oxide nanoparticles with a focus on behavioural responses.
Results: The comparison showed differences in severity of rat behavioral responses observed after subchronic intraperitoneal instillation of metal oxide nanoparticles at a single dose of 2.5 mg/kg of body weight. We observed a decrease in exploratory activity of rats that was statistically significant in the group of rodents exposed to Mn3O4, NiO,
and PbO NPs, and a change in the summation threshold index that increased statistically in the CuO and ZnO nanoparticle exposure groups.
Conclusion: Our findings contribute to understanding of neurotoxic effects of nanoparticles and facilitate a more profound and trustworthy assessment of human health risks.

Published: October 2023

Introduction: Natural focal and zoonotic diseases are widespread in the Asia-Pacific Region, including Vietnam, due to climatic conditions, peculiarities of cultural and economic interactions.
Objective: To determine groups of population at risk of rodent and their ectoparasites-borne diseases in different landscape and socio-economic areas of Vietnam.
Materials and methods: We conducted a questionnaire-based survey of 449 rural residents from eight provinces in the north and central part of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam. The answers were analyzed using statistical and epidemiological
methods.
Results: We have established that 346 respondents (77.1 %) come into contact with rodents, and five times more often this contact occurs in residential premises. A small number of the respondents reports flea (2.9 %) and tick (7.6 %) attacks. Only 30.7 % of the respondents (n = 138) know that contact with rodents can lead to disease, 69.3 % (n = 311) have heard about it for the first time. At the same time, 69.7 % of residents carry out rat control activities using various means while 30.3 % do nothing in this respect. If signs of a disease appear, 81.7 % of the respondents report seeking medical care, 9.4 %
do that rarely, and 8.9 % have never sought medical attention.
Conclusions: Given the abundance of the main carriers and vectors of natural focal diseases, frequent direct contact of people with potentially infected rodents, poor alertness and awareness of the population, there is a high risk of infestation
in case of an epizooty in the surveyed provinces. The most effective and affordable preventive tool is a targeted community outreach program.

Published: October 2023

This is a conceptual paper for a future study based on the review of the literature related to Halal certification adoption and the role of Resource-Based View (RBV) theory. Despite the Halal industry showing potential for a strong market both locally and globally, the number of Halal-certified Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises (SMEs) remains relatively low. This is partly due to challenges in meeting certification requirements, which are seen as complex and costly, as well as a lack of awareness and concern. Additionally, the Ministry of International Trade and Industry (MITI) has identified various challenges faced by Malaysian manufacturers, including a lack of competitiveness in areas such as processing technology, research and development, distribution networks, product quality, and branding. To address these issues, this study aims to investigate the reasons behind SME owners' reluctance to adopt Halal certification for their food products, and to develop an enhancement model and measurement instrument based on the Resource-Based View (RBV) theory. The paper went on to analyse the issues, concepts and objectives for the forthcoming study through several literatures of various disciplines. The conceptual paper signifies to supplement literatures for academics as reference for their research. The result of this future research may provide information to SMEs on factors and the significance of Halal certification adoption to enhance SMEs’ performance. It will also be relevant to policy-makers who design support mechanisms and schemes to promote the creation and growth of small firms.

Published: October 2023

This paper examines the relationship between six perceived risk factors and online mobile shopping behaviour among youths in Malaysia. Specifically, this study will examine the relationship between product performance risk, health risk, time risk, financial risk, security risk and social risk towards mobile shopping behaviour. This survey is based on a judgement sampling method and data collection was done using an online survey method in a local private university and the hypotheses were tested using quantitative analysis. The online survey involved a total of 383 respondents and data were processed via IBM SPSS Statistics 24 and AMOS 22. The findings revealed four perceived risk factors (product performance risk, time risk, financial risk, security risk) are significantly affecting mobile shopping behaviour while two factors (health risk and social risk) are insignificant. This study offers valuable insights to online retailers, enabling them to develop strategies that mitigate risks in the mobile shopping environment, particularly focusing on financial risk. Additionally, the study presents perspectives on various dimensions of perceived risk that hold significance for youths. These insights can prove instrumental in enhancing stakeholder engagement and facilitating the creation of effective policies and strategies for the mutual benefit of consumers and online retailers in the future.

Published: October 2023

Abstract: Bladder neck contracture (BNC) is a potential complication after radical prostatectomy (RP). This may be a result of inadequate approximation at the time of surgery, urinary extravasation, or distraction of the bladder neck from a hematoma. Patients commonly complains of a poor urinary stream or prolonged unexplained incontinence. Treatment of BNC requires a tailored approach and can range from simple, office-based procedures to complex surgical reconstruction. We reported a case of 81-year-old male complaining urine retention for one month. The patient had previous open prostate procedure a year prior. On examination, neurogenic causes were excluded. Retrograde ureterocystography revealed bladder neck contracture. Patient was diagnosed as bladder neck contracture post open prostatectomy surgery. Transurethral holmium laser vaporization with 800 micrometre, 20 Hz frequency and 4,5 Joule of power. through a ureteroscope was performed. Two-way Folley catheter 18Fr was inserted without irrigation. Patient was discharged post-surgery two days after catheter removal and spontaneous micturition. Endoscopic balloon dilatation with incision appears to offers promising result in the management of BNC. The consideration of using transurethral vaporization with holmium laser modality was the first procedure ever done in Manado. In conclusion, TUVP is one of the alternatives, minimally invasive procedures to treat BNC. The use of holmium laser for the incision of bladder neck is another alternative to treat BNC with great outome proven by the length of stay (LOS) of two days after the procedure was done.

Published: October 2023

Tener una vida saludable y digna depende, entre otros factores, de la alimentación. Todas las personas deben tener por derecho humano acceso a alimentos sanos, nutritivos y no padecer hambre, acción reconocida como seguridad alimentaria. La preservación de esta es regida por el Estado aunado a políticas y estrategias gubernamentales alimentarias, las industrias procesadoras de alimentos que se han convertido en un medio de producción y abastecimiento, así como las personas que adquieren un alimento, entre otras causas. El uso inadecuado de los alimentos conlleva a la inseguridad alimentaria mermando la salud de las personas, ya sea por desnutrición, subnutrición o malnutrición. De los problemas de salud pública relevantes son diabetes mellitus y obesidad, ambos están relacionados con la ingesta de alimentos de alto valor calórico y nutricionalmente carentes. La industria de alimentos tiene una gran responsabilidad en este sentido al desarrollar y distribuir alimentos bajo dichas características, particularmente los denominados chatarra. Por lo que actualmente se han emitido regulaciones a las practicas enfocadas a la producción alimentaria, de tal forma que obedezcan a una responsabilidad con la sociedad, con el medio ambiente y preserven la seguridad alimentaria.

Language and phenomena are two things that cannot be separated. New phenomena will give birth to new languages as well. The Covid-19 pandemic is undoubtedly not a phenomenon that can be considered small. Of course, COVID-19's contribution to the treasures of language will be substantial. This research will try to dissect the terms about COVID-19 listed in the Dictionary of Covid-19 Terms: English – French – Arabic, an electronic dictionary published by ALESCO (Arab et al. Organization). This research uses a descriptive qualitative method with a semantic change approach in the style of Mukhtar Umar. The results obtained from this research are that the terms in this dictionary are not the production of new words but rather old words labeled with new meanings. Researchers found four words that experienced changes in meaning, two in the form of a shift in meaning, one in the form of an expansion of definition, and one in the form of a narrowing of meaning.

Published: October 2023

This research examines the technique of forming Indonesian and Arabic deverbal nouns through contrastive analysis. The method used in this research is descriptive method with a synchronous time range. That is, the technique of forming Indonesian and Arabic deverbal nouns through a morphological derivation process will be described as is. The data will be taken from books and journals that study techniques for forming Indonesian deverbal nouns, and from sorof books that discuss techniques for forming Arabic deverbal nouns. The method that will be used by the author in contrasting the components of the two languages being compared is the comparative method. The results of the study show that the formation of Indonesian deverbal nouns uses the technique of derivational formor affixes and derivational compound affixes. The formation of Arabic deverbal nouns (masdar) uses several techniques: (1) sima'i technique (generally for masdar which is formed from fi'il sulation), (2) affixation techniques (preffix, infis, suffix, config), (3) changes in internal vowel sounds, (4) following certain wazn patterns and (5) using letter removal and letter replacement techniques. However, the essence of forming Arabic deverbal nouns is using the sima'i technique and following certain wazn patterns. As for whether or not the formation of Arabic deverbal nouns (masdar) is regular, some are formed regularly by following a special wazn pattern called the term qiyasi, and some are formed irregularly called the term goiru kiyasi, whose formation technique uses the sima'i technique.
IMPLEMENTATION OF BEHAVIORAL AND COGNITIVE THEORIES IN THE ARABIC LANGUAGE LEARNING CURRICULUM: A CONCEPTUAL REVIEW
Authors: Maghfurin ِAhmad , Maisaroh Irfatin , Himawan Akbar M. Aziz , Ramadhan M. Rizki , Bahaudin Moh. Ikhsan
Published: October 2023

This conceptual overview comprehensively explores the seamless blending of behavioristic and cognitivistic theories within the Arabic language curriculum. It thoroughly explores behaviourism's and cognitivism's theoretical underpinnings, explaining how each has contributed differently to the complex language learning process. The focus behaviourism places on visible behaviour and outside cues are essential to creating vocabulary drills, structured activities, and reinforcement strategies. Conversely, cognitivism emphasizes the learner's mental processes and encourages active participation through assignments requiring problem-solving, comprehension exercises, and critical thinking.

Introduction Radiology departments played a crucial role during the coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) pandemic providing imaging to help physicians managing the infected patients. This scenario affected healthcare workers (HCWs) during their daily activities. Therefore, the scope of this study was to evaluate the operating procedures, the acquisition protocols for x-ray and CT  examinations for infected patients and the implementation of Artificial Intelligence (AI) software e during the Covid-19  pandemic.

Materials and methods This survey was designed by some Italian scientific associations of radiographers. The questionnaire was administered via social media and the targeted population was all the HCWs working within the Radiology Departments in Italy and the  questionnaire was available online from January to March 2022. Demographic and epidemiological data, number of radiographers, x-ray and CT methods of investigation, protocols used in x-ray and / or CT and Artificial Intelligence software applied in the radiology department were the sessions of the survey.

ResultsComparisons between participants that work in public versus private healthcare facilities were carried out using chisquare tests and Fisher tests. The responders were 1376 and 73.7% of them worked in public healthcare facilities. Private healthcare facilities had fewer CT scanners available in general (p < 0,001), hence only 18% of them affirmed to have 2 or more CT scanners, and not have CT scanners dedicated to confirmed or suspected Covid-19 patients only (p < 0,001). 66.3% of the participants stated that only one radiographer was involved in the execution of portable CXR (chest x-ray) for infected patients. 

ConclusionsThis survey highlighted how radiographers adjusted their acquisition protocols when it came to acquire portable or standard CXR and chest CT scans for infected patients over the different waves of the Covid-19 pandemic. Using dedicated equipment, adopting tailored scanning protocol and implementing AI software were the main strategies applied.

Pewność prawa a zasada interpretatio retro non agit
Authors: Bielska-Brodziak Agnieszka , Suska Marek
Published: October 2023

W nawiązaniu do badań Józefa Nowackiego nad zasadą lex retro non agit, autorzy artykułu podjęli refleksję na temat związków pomiędzy pewnością prawa a retroaktywną zmianą dominującej w praktyce wykładni przepisów prawa. Głównym przedmiotem zainteresowania uczyniono sformułowanie interpretatio retro non agit, funkcjonujące w kulturze prawnej, choć nieznane powszechnie we wspólnocie interpretacyjnej. Cele badawcze obejmowały: 1) ustalenie treści wiązanej lub możliwej do powiązania z tą zasadą w wypowiedziach orzecznictwa i piśmiennictwa, 2) zbadanie, czy istnieją podstawy, aby mówić o „związaniu” stosujących prawo to zasadą, i 3) określenie, dlaczego zmiany dominującej wykładni są w życiu prawnym postrzegane jako zło konieczne. Badania dały podstawy do wyróżnienia wąskiego i szerokiego ujęcia zasady interpretatio retro non agit, z dalszym powiązaniem z szerokim ujęciem tej zasady czterech jej możliwych wariantów. Ujęcie wąskie zakazuje uznawania zmiany dominującej wykładni za okoliczność pozwalającą wzruszać prawomocne orzeczenia sądowe lub ostateczne decyzje administracyjne. Ujęcie szerokie zaś – wprowadza domniemanie, że nie należy wiązać z pewnym faktem prawnym takich skutków prawnych, które wynikają wyłącznie ze zmiany wykładni dominującej w chwili, gdy miał miejsce ten fakt prawny. Rozważono także cztery możliwe rodzaje uzasadnień zasady interpretatio retro non agit – formalne, prawnonaturalne, kulturowe i instrumentalne. Najbardziej adekwatne z nich wydaje się to ostatnie, wiążące analizowaną zasadę z wartością pewności prawa. Przynajmniej niektóre elementy zasady mogą być jednak również przekonująco uzasadniane formalnie. Problematyka retroaktywnej zmiany wykładni jest dostrzegana w literaturze jedynie na marginesie innych rozważań, co autorzy opracowania uważają za niekorzystny stan rzeczy. Zasadnicze różnice między tworzeniem a stosowaniem prawa pozwalają jednak zrozumieć, że w praktyce udzielanie ochrony adresatom prawa jest w tych drugich sytuacjach znacznie bardziej skomplikowane.

A caracterização morfométrica permite conhecer e entender as dinâmicas hidrológicas e ambientais de um local de estudo, porque determina e permite avaliar algumas características que indicam o comportamento hidrológico e litológico, o armazenamento, e a suscetibilidade a enchentes, inundações e processos erosivos. O presente trabalho tem como objetivo caracterizar morfométricamente a microbacia hidrográfica do ribeirão Santa Marta (BHRSM), situada no município de Ibitirama, no sul do estado do Espírito Santo, obtendo os parâmetros morfométricos com o auxílio do Sistema de Informação Geográfica (SIG). Os parâmetros avaliados contemplam as características geométricas, de rede de drenagem e de relevo. A BHRSM apresenta uma forma mais alongada, estreita e irregular, fato confirmado pelo alto valor do coeficiente de compacidade (Kc) e os baixos valores do fator de forma (Kf) e do índice de circularidade (Ic). De acordo com as características da rede de drenagem a microbacia é de 4ª ordem e apresenta um sistema de drenagem bom, que reduz os riscos de inundações e enchentes.  As características do relevo indicam que a bacia possui um escoamento superficial mais rápido, um tempo de concentração menor e uma certa suscetibilidade a enchentes e processos erosivos. Mais, o formato e o estado de conservação desta microbacia, tem lhe conferido uma baixa vulnerabilidade a enchentes e processos erosivos em condições normais de precipitação.
