Authors: Hasanain Makki Joodi
Published: September 2024

The rapid scientific advancements in developed countries have led to the emergence of practical applications of these scientific. Often, developing nations seek to get these modern technologies by entering into technology transfer contracts with providers. However, the lack of comprehensive legislative regulation in Iraqi law necessitates a closer examination of the legal framework regarding technology transfer contracts to protect the rights of recipient states. This article seeks to address the legislative gaps and analyze the rights of recipient states in these contracts, drawing insights from comparative legal perspectives. The topic is divided into two main sections: the first explores the nature of recipient state rights. In contrast, the second section delves into the legislative positions within Iraq and comparative laws regarding these rights.
An Overview of the Biopharmaceutics Classification System (BCS)
Authors: L. Prasanna Tarivitla  , M. Sunitha Reddy
Published: September 2024

The Biopharmaceutics Classification System (BCS) is an essential tool in pharmaceutical sciences, providing a scientific framework for classifying drugs based on their solubility and permeability characteristics. This system, developed in 1995, helps streamline drug development and regulatory approval processes by predicting in vivo drug performance from in vitro data. This paper reviews the four BCS classes, their solubility and permeability criteria, detailed procedures for determining these characteristics, and suitable formulation strategies for each class. Additionally, it explores the concept of biowaivers, which allows for the waiver of in vivo bioavailability and bioequivalence studies under certain conditions, primarily for BCS Class I drugs. The advantages, challenges, and limitations of biowaivers are discussed, emphasizing the need for global harmonization to fully realize the BCS's potential.

Published: September 2024

Phyllanthus amarus is a medicinal plant, used in traditional practice for treating diseases like hypertension, liver damage and diabetes mellitus. This study aimed to provide a potent therapeutic alternative to conventional drugs in managing liver diseases. Ethanol leaf extract of Phyllanthus amarus at 50, 100 and 200 mg/kg body weight was investigated for its acclaimed hepatoprotective activity in gentamicin-induced hepatotoxicity in albino rats. Thirty albino rats weighing 120-150 g were assigned into six groups (I-VI) of five animals each. Rats in group I (control) received distilled water orally. Rats in groups II, III, IV, V and VI were induced with 100 mg/kg of gentamicin for seven days. Groups III-V were treated with 50, 100 and 200 mg/kg body weight of the extract, respectively while group VI was treated with 200 mg/kg bw of silymarin. The lipid profile that relates to hepatotoxicity was assessed using standard methods. The significantly increased serum and liver lipid profile: cholesterol, triglyceride, Low-density lipoprotein and reduced high-density lipoprotein in the untreated animals were attenuated by the extract. Overall, the extract possesses hepatoprotective activity with 200 mg/kg body weight being the most effective dose. The coronary Heart Index (CRI) was not significantly different from the control. Therefore, the ethanol leaf extract of Phyllanthus amarus could be explored in controlling some of the metabolic dysfunctions usually associated with hepatotoxicity.

Analysis on addressing the threats to cloud computing on the basis of security safeguards for sap cloud services
Authors: Vedaprada Raghunath
Published: September 2024

Cloud computing has become an integral part of combination/multi-cloud infrastructures due to its many benefits, including quick deployment, flexibility, cheap costs, and scalability, which have attracted businesses of all sizes. New possibilities and threats in terms of security flaws are cropping up in this field, even if cloud storage provides substantial advantages and inexpensive choices for IT administration and growth. When we talk about safeguarding cloud infrastructure systems, we're referring to a set of rules, regulations, and systematic procedures. This is also known as cloud computing security. The purpose of implementing these security measures is to safeguard cloud-based data, facilitate the enforcement of legislation, ensure the privacy of consumer information, and set standards for encryption in specific devices and applications. Modern cloud computing and security concerns throughout the cloud's many layers are addressed in this study. Within this context, the current study would make a substantial contribution to lowering the frequency of security breaches in cloud computing, paving the way for the continued provision of safe and reliable services. Storage of databases on the cloud is expanding rapidly in the IT industry, including SAP networks. Because enterprises are ultimately responsible for the security of their data, migrating databases to cloud computing environments brings with it a plethora of security risks. To guarantee data integrity, availability, and secrecy, appropriate security measures should be put in place before a company migrates its sensitive data to the cloud. When data is at rest, it is most vulnerable to unauthorized access; when it is in transit, it must be subject to strict supervision.

Published: October 2024

The aim of this work is to propose reconstituted materials, by cement-based improvement of lateritic gravels and joint cement improvement and lithostabilization, that are technically suitable for use in base courses. The study focused on two (02) different lateritic gravels, LG1 with a fine content of 24% and LG2 with a fine content of 15%. For lithostabilization, 0/25 granite crushed stone was used and the cement used was CEM II/B-LL 42.5. For cement improvement, three (03) cement contents (1%; 1.5% and 2%) were studied, and for joint stabilization, the granite crushed content was set at 10%, with only the cement content varying by 1%, 1.5% and 2%. The mixes were obtained by adding the cement mass calculated from the total gravel mass collected and the cement rate studied to the raw gravel or to a mixture of 90% gravel and 10% granite crushed stone. The results of physical-mechanical tests such as the Atterberg limits, Modified Proctor and California bearing index of stabilized materials were analyzed in comparison with the initial values of raw materials without stabilization. The results show that cement increases the plasticity index but improves the bearing capacity of lateritic gravels better than joint stabilization. However, joint stabilization does improve gravel bearing capacity compared with untreated raw gravel. For use as a base course in accordance with CEBTP specifications [3], in addition to the 10% granite crushed content, LG1 must be upgraded to at least 1.5% cement and LG2 to 1%.

Industrialization and prefabrication of thin vaults and shells in Latin America during the second half of the 20th century
Authors: Di Maggio Salvatore , Di Maggio Calogero , Corrao Rossella , Vinci Calogero
Published: October 2024

After World War II, the socio-economic difficulties in some Latin American countries often led to political instability conditions. In this complex context, solutions were adopted by some designers to meet looming needs: housing for populations reduced to poverty and the construction of strategic infrastructures. In these countries, starting from the 1940s, the introduction of new techniques and materials – such as concrete and steel – enabled the industrialization of building processes. This also allowed the experimentation of standardized models of thin vaults and shells using the traditional thin vaults, whose technique was imported from the Iberian Peninsula as a reference. The solution of “thin” vaults is one of the most interesting, given the peculiarities that distinguish it from other systems. The small thickness of such vaults derives from the consideration that their strength is determined by their shape and cohesive behavior, following the theories of R. Guastavino Moreno. Based on these assumptions, this paper aims to review some solutions developed for the prefabrication of thin vaults and the construction of some remarkable buildings. Based on the principles of prefabrication and reinterpretation of the traditional construction technique, the solutions adopted in some emblematic buildings can be useful for suggesting the development of new technical solutions to put in place shells and thin vaults in the second millennium.

This work employs partial and non-OH models to mimic 2D steady-state spray combustion. The study examines the status of the partial OH model following the NOx forecast, comparing it to the non-model. It assumes that the O model is in equilibrium with the predicted NOx. The study assesses the numerical models by using data from Mao et al. (35). This study used n-pentane as the fuel and ambient air as the oxidant in a turbulent flame characterized by non-premixed combustion. The mixture fraction-probability density function model is used to solve chemical kinetics. Fluent 15.0 software performs numerical simulation of two-phase flow and combustion modeling for pollutant formation. The k−ε turbulence model was used to solve the conservation equations for mass, momentum, and energy in turbulent flow fields. A simulation was performed using a thermal NOx mechanism to compute NOx formation. This study investigated the velocity components in the gas phase, the mass fraction of NOx, the NOx rate, the turbulence kinetic energy, and the dissipation rate. Due to state stability, the instantaneous and partial OH models were equivalent, whereas the non-OH model was lower than the partial model. The NOx prediction predicted this temperature variation in response to NOx formation. The NOx mass fraction varies by 0.09% between the partial and non-OH models, and the NOx rates exhibit a 0.09% variation between these models. Across all tested domains, the non-OH model effectively decreased all variables, including NOx emissions.

Published: October 2024

This study examines the celebritization of environmental activism on Instagram, focusing on two prominent Indonesian public figures: Hamish Daud and Nadine Chandrawinata. Through a qualitative discourse analysis of their Instagram posts from July to December 2023, we explore how environmental
sustainability is intertwined with the process of celebritization in the Indonesian context. Drawing on Driessens' (2013) framework of mediatization, personalization, and commodification, and employing Stuart Hall's encoding/decoding model, this research investigates how these celebrities construct and promote their environmental activist personas through social media. Our findings reveal that Daud and Chandrawinata strategically blend their celebrity status with environmental messaging, creating a unique form of 'celebrity ecology'. They leverage Instagram's visual and narrative features to present environmental activism as part of an aspirational yet attainable lifestyle. The study identifies key strategies employed by these celebrities, including the integration of activism with personal branding, the use of family narratives to promote eco-friendly practices, and the endorsement of sustainable products. While their approach effectively raises awareness about environmental issues, it also reveals tensions between authentic advocacy and personal brand building. The research highlights how followers' interpretations of these messages can vary, sometimes focusing more on the celebrities' personal lives than on environmental content. This study contributes to the growing body of literature on celebrity activism in non-Western contexts and offers insights into the potential and limitations of using social media for environmental advocacy

Authors: Daffah Mohamad Iqbal , Kusumawati Andriani , Wiyata Wiyata
Published: October 2024

The lack of understanding about how live streaming on social media platforms like TikTok can build emotional engagement between customers and brands and the factors influencing such engagement in the era of the fourth industrial revolution led to this research. Using the Uses and Gratification (U&G) Theory to explain the motivations behind media use in fulfilling social and psychological needs, along with the Theory of Reasoned Action (TRA), which emphasizes attitudes as the primary determinants of behavior, the objective of this study is to analyze the influence of gratification, media attributes, and perceived interactivity on attitudes towards live streaming and brand attitudes, as well as the impact of these attitudes on consumer engagement. This explanatory research employs a quantitative approach, with a sample of 250 consumers of the Kattoen brand on TikTok selected through purposive sampling. The data are analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics through Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with the Partial Least Squares (PLS) technique. The research instrument is an online questionnaire that has been validated and reliably tested. The results show that gratification does not have a significant effect on attitudes toward live streaming, while media attributes and perceived interactivity have a significant effect on both intervening variables, namely attitudes toward live streaming and attitudes toward the brand. These findings indicate that media elements and interactivity play an important role in shaping positive consumer attitudes toward live streaming and the brand, ultimately increasing consumer engagement in TikTok live streaming.

Published: October 2024

In recent decades, two processes have been crucial for the development of psychotherapy regulation, which are interlinked and mutually reinforcing: efforts to legalise psychotherapy as an autonomous profession, and efforts to academise psychotherapy as an autonomous scientific discipline. While in Europe the European Association for Psychotherapy (EAP) plays a key role in efforts to legalise psychotherapy as an autonomous profession, the academisation of psychotherapy in the twentieth century started at postgraduate level, then, after the Bologna reform, at Masters and Doctoral level and, since 2005 also at undergraduate level, first in Austria and then in Slovenia and Germany. Based on brief descriptions of the regulation of psychotherapy in some European countries – Germany, Sweden, Finland, Austria, Malta and Croatia – it is pointed out that concern for equitable access to psychotherapy and its quality for those in need of such kind of help must be a key criterion and goal in efforts to regulate psychotherapy. The international comparison also shows that psychotherapy will survive but not flourish if it remains only in the hands of doctors and psychologists as a method or specialisation.

Este trabajo trata la realización de una prospección arqueológica en el Arroyo de la Vega de Santa María, situado entre los términos municipales de Torre de Juan Abad y Villamanrique, en la provincia de Ciudad Real, para la localización de los restos de molinos harineros que se citan ya en las Relaciones Topográficas de Felipe II en el siglo XVI. Las actuaciones realizadas han llevado a la documentación detallada del estado de estas estructuras, que han estado presentes en el paisaje y la actividad socioeconómica probablemente desde le siglo XIII, así como a la valoración de las posibilidades de su excavación, restauración y uso.
Semantic substitutions and subjective dependence in bilingual textual communication of translation
Authors:   Tver State University, Maslennikova Evgeniya М.
Published: October 2024

The target text is considered a personal (translation) projection of the source text specially created by its translator for secondary readers belonging to the system of the target language. Thus, translators take into account secondary readers’ conceptual systems. At the same time, translators interpret the source text nearly in the same way primary readers from the system of the source language do it. Translators’ image of the really existing World and the text World determines both the choice of translation equivalents and substitutions and the implementation of situation components from the text World. N-multiplicity of translations is influenced not only by psychological, cognitive, and socio-cultural factors, but also by translators’ attitudes, because of which they begin to attribute actual (or currently actualised) meanings to the source text while performing semantic substitutions. All added meanings can transform and / or modify the text World created by its author. The purpose of the article is to show how the principle of semantic substitutions and the principle of subjective dependence (terms of A.A. Zalevskaya) influence the (re)construction of the text World done by translators. The study is based on the analysis of translations of works by Russian writers into English and translations of works by English writers into Russian.
Ethnopsycholinguistics almost 25 years later, or the scientific foresight of Alexandra Zalevskaya

Professor Zalevskaya considered one of the most important fundamental tasks of Russian Psycholinguistics to be the discovery of cultural and national specifics of speech activity. In modern Ethnopsycholinguistics, three stable directions are developing on the basis of theoretical and experimental research of speech action: synchronic psycholinguoaxiology, diachronic psycholinguoaxiology, diagnostic (psycho)linguoaxiology. Each of these areas develops its own conceptual apparatus and methods, based on the developed principles, the first establishes the content of values, verifiable ranking, and scaling of the experimental data obtained. The second examines the main psycholinguistic factors influencing the dynamics of the content of axiological concepts and the change in hierarchy in value systems. At the same time, a diachronic comparison of axiological fragments of the worldview of speakers of a certain linguistic culture modeled for different times is possible. In the third of these areas, the content of the current value system is used to diagnose social relations of various kinds in a particular society. The author defines the concepts of basic value, cultural significance and meaning, cultural connotations that differ from those accepted in the linguistic and cultural paradigm, and presents some of the main provisions of the declared directions of ethnopsycholinguistics. The author presents some methods of analyzing associative fields that allow us to explore the predicative relationship between a stimulus and a reaction, which makes it possible to determine the personal meaning of values and value orientations of an individual.

Introduction: The COVID-19 pandemic in Argentina has challenged health professionals to implement teleconsultation to maintain continuity of care.Objectives: Describe the implementation of new technologies in teleconsultation by Nutrition professionals from Entre Ríos, from the beginning of the ASPO to the new normal.Methodology: Observational, descriptive, quantitative, and cross-sectional study, in which 72 Nutrition professionals from Entre Ríos, Argentina participated through a self-administered online questionnaire. The descriptive analysis of the data was carried out in the IBM® SPSS Statistics program.Results: 84.7% of professionals began to implement new technologies in teleconsultation since the beginning of the ASPO. Although the majority did not experience significant changes in their income, relationships with patients, or time spent in teleconsultation compared to in-person care, 78% did not receive specific training for the implementation of these technologies in remote care. Despite this challenge, 80% expressed their intention to continue with this type of care in the new normal, allocating hours of their workload for this purpose.Conclusions: The implementation of new technologies in teleconsultation has proven to be an ally in maintaining the continuity of nutritional care since the beginning of ASPO. However, to provide a quality service, it is necessary to select the most appropriate technologies and dedicate sufficient time to planning and implementation.

Introduction: Unplanned transfers from the General Ward to Critical Care Units occur due to a deterioration in the patient's clinical status. They are of great interest because of their negative impact, associated with longer hospital stays and higher mortality.
Objectives: To report the frequency at which these transfers occur, characteristics of these patients and causes of the transfer. Identify shortcomings in the care process that may allow improvement strategies.
Methodology: cross-sectional study. Cases were considered those who, during the first 24 hours of hospitalization in the General Ward, required transfer to the ICU between January - December 2022 in a high-complexity hospital in Buenos Aires. Results: Of 8317 admissions, 124 were transferred to the ICU, with a rate of 14 per 1000 and an average of 70 years. The most frequent comorbidities were high blood pressure, heart failure, cancer and overweight-obesity. The main causes of hospitalization were respiratory and gastrointestinal symptoms. 67% had non-alarming results in the NEWS score prior to transfer to the ICU. The most frequent causes were respiratory failure, hemodynamic instability and requirement for monitoring. Average hospital stay was 10 days and in-hospital mortality was 26%.
Conclusions: Respiratory decompensation in elderly male patients was the most common cause of transfer to a Closed Unit. One of the shortcomings of the care process seems to be the NEWS score, where in 67% of cases it did not warn about the high requirement of patient monitoring.
Optimized road noise asphalt pavements - The types of noise-reducing road surfaces
Authors: Hrapović Kerim
Published: September 2024

The noise has long been recognized as a stress factor for humans. A high level of noise has many negative influences on health such as: difficulty to concentrate, stress, health issues for the ears, and also has a damaging effect on the cardiovascular and endocrine systems. Road traffic is main source of total noise, especially in conurbations. In order to effectively reduce noise emissions, surface courses can be installed as road surfaces that generate particularly little noise in interaction with the vehicle tire. This paper delas with different types of noise-reducing road surfaces.
