Unmasking Renal Complications of Immunotherapy: A Case of Nivolumab-induced FSGS
Authors: Urvashi Khan
Published: February 2025

Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors (ICPIs), while revolutionizing cancer therapy through potentiation of anti-tumour responses via targeted blockade of T-lymphocyte inhibitory receptors, are associated with immune-related adverse events (irAEs), including diverse renal manifestations. This report presents a case of a 69-year-old male with urothelial carcinoma who developed Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) and nephrotic-range proteinuria following initiation of nivolumab, an anti-PD1 antibody, necessitating renal biopsy to clarify the aetiology. The biopsy revealed Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) with endotheliopathy, suggesting a direct ICPI-induced glomerular injury. This case underscores the need for heightened awareness of ICPI-associated glomerular disease, alongside more common renal adverse events such as Acute Interstitial Nephritis (AIN), and for the need for renal biopsy in such cases. While the incidence of ICPI-associated AKI is approximately 17%, and AIN is a more frequent finding, FSGS and other glomerular pathologies should also be considered. Current treatment for such renal events involves discontinuation of the ICPI agent and initiation of immunosuppression with glucocorticoids. The management of these cases requires prompt detection, timely diagnosis, and often interdisciplinary collaboration, thus highlighting the need for more case reports, research, and better treatment strategies.

Authors: Alfawearh Abdalaziz Jomah , Alkouri Ahmad Mohd
Published: February 2025

This paper explores the notion of identity and its manifestations in Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby, focusing on social context, ethnicity, and racism as main components for identity formation in American society in the 1900s. To support this observation, a focus is made on identity formation, ethnicity, and social acceptance in an elite, racially categorized society that the characters have experienced. The portrayal of American identity within its complexity indicates to several hidden manifestations of societal, cultural and ethnic complexities. This paper employs analytical, inductive, and deductive approaches to compose the analysis. The analysis critiques characters' physical characteristics and prejudiced attitudes, feeding a culture of racism, social belonging, and prejudicial morality. Identity in The Great Gatsby interacts environmentally, demonstrating how identification sets social roles regarding stratification, ethnicity, and acceptance. The analysis examines how forces generate identity prejudice through discriminatory practices and how the characters respond to those forces by emphasizing their cultural and social context. Ethnic and racial prejudices are deeply embedded in the narrative, reflecting biases of American identity in the 1920s. Also, the analysis reveals how fragmented American identity when American Dream conquered the entire critiques about the novel. Finally, this study concludes with valuable insights into identity's complexity, emphasizing moral, social, ethnic, and racial factors shaping American identity in Fitzgerald's work.

Practical University Training Impact on Job Performance of Translation Graduates in Oman
Authors: Alsaadi Ahmad , Awashreh Raed
Published: February 2025

This study investigates the influence of practical training on job performance among translation graduates in Oman, focusing on how university education can better align with labour market demands. As global demand for skilled translators increases, the need for comprehensive practical training programs that bridge academic outcomes and industry expectations becomes paramount. A mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative surveys with qualitative interviews from 232 participants, reveals significant correlations between practical training, the use of modern technology, and enhanced job performance. However, challenges such as limited training opportunities and inadequate institutional support persist, indicating the need for universities to improve translation education by offering more robust training programs. Employers emphasize the necessity of extensive support to bridge the gap between academic learning and professional practice, with many graduates requiring additional hands-on experience to enhance their skills. Furthermore, issues like inadequate training duration and a lack of continuous institutional support hinder effective skill development. The study suggests that while modern technology and practical training contribute positively to job performance, the role of institutional support remains critical. The findings underscore the importance of universities adapting their curricula to include more practical exercises and align with industry needs. The study calls for a collaborative effort between educational institutions, employers, and students to develop a more effective and industry-relevant translation training model. This research offers valuable insights into how practical training can be better integrated into university programs to ensure graduates are fully prepared for the translation workforce, contributing to better job outcomes and career progression.
A Review of Skills Gaps in Africa’s Waste Management Sector: A Case Study of Nigeria and Ghana
Authors: Edomah Norbert , Bamigboye Abiola
Published: February 2025

The waste management sector plays a vital role in environmental sustainability and public health. However, it faces significant challenges due to a multi-dimensional skills gap that hinders the effective management, processing and disposal of waste. Effective waste management requires increasing levels of technical expertise, analytical proficiency, behavioural skills and digital competence. However, one critical point of concern is the lack of requisite technical skills required for the optimal operation and maintenance of equipment and machinery used for waste management and disposal. Using desk research and focus group interviews of stakeholders in Nigeria and Ghana, we analyzed the skills gap in the sector in order to identify the skills that are currently short in supply in both countries. Our study revealed three broad skills need areas: (1) Skill requirements for youth employment in the waste management sector; (2) Machineries, technologies and tools used for waste management; and (3) Technical skills requirements for green waste management. The study concludes with a mapping of technologies and skills in the waste management sector while highlighting the impact of the existing skills deficit on the sector’s effectiveness and how it can be addressed through structured technical training programs for stakeholders in the sector.

Space in Time: Diachrony of Goal-Participant Marking in Ryukyuan Languages
Authors: Jarosz Aleksandra
Published: February 2025

The purpose of the paper is a typological and diachronic study of goal-participant marking in Ryukyuan languages, with goal-participants understood as the participants encoding semantic and syntactic notions typically associated with indirect object, such as Recipient, passive agent, and causee. The study focuses on dative-spatial case polysemy, considering how in Ryukyuan languages G-participants are typically marked either by dative-locative or dative-allative markers. As a result of an examination of over twenty Ryukyuan topolects by studying language documentation examples of encoding of a wide semantic range of G-participants, Ryukyuan languages have been divided into three synchronic types with a range of subtypes, which also reflect a diachronic process of a transition from dative-locative to dative-allative marking. The process is explained as semantically motivated, and conceptualisation of G-participants as ‘destinations’ of a vectored movement is identified as the main factor of first locative/allative variation, and then a potential domination of allative in G-participant-marking.
Tonal Change in Yu
Authors: Jia Pingping
Published: February 2025

This study presents an analysis of the factors conditioning certain processes of a merger in the tonal system of Yu, an endangered variety of Jin Chinese. Drawing on three investigations of this variety that were conducted at intervals of nearly a decade each, we found that the falling tone HM has merged with the falling tone HL over the past thirty years. When analysing the tone sandhi patterns in these three studies, it becomes clear that the merger of the two falling tones (HL and HM) is driven by internal phonological factors. HL is the variant of HM resulting from the application of regular sandhi processes in this variety, which has resulted in the neutralisation of the contrast between HM and HL in many words, and which finally has caused all syllables with HM to be realised as HL. This diachronic change reveals an internally driven tonal change that is currently occurring in Jin Chinese, and it also shows that the change is driven towards simplification, which is in accordance with observations on tonal systems in other Chinese varieties.

Authors: Chih-Kai Lin
Published: February 2025

This paper examines the metrical stress patterns in Kaxabu, a Formosan language spoken in Nantou County, Central Taiwan. The study uses a corpus-based approach, analysing more than 3,000 entries to identify the prosodic patterns of the language based on the number of syllables in a phonological word. The results reveal that final stress is prominent in both disyllabic and trisyllabic words in Kaxabu. The paper not only provides an overview of the general distribution of stress in the language but also discusses irregularities in the corpus that arise from factors such as initial heavy syllables, affixation, or internal structure.

Published: February 2025

The construction industry, particularly road construction, supports economic growth and enhances community mobility. One of the primary challenges is ensuring that the quality of hot mix asphalt (HMA), a critical component in road construction, aligns with customer needs and expectations. This study aims to evaluate customer satisfaction with HMA products produced by PT. SKS in Yogyakarta. The Importance-Performance Analysis (IPA) approach was employed to identify gaps between the product's actual performance and the importance level expected by customers.
Data were collected from 25 respondents using a Likert-scale questionnaire covering 20 service attributes, including guest facilities, product services, and quality control. The data were analyzed using a Cartesian diagram to map attributes into four priority quadrants. The findings revealed that the average performance score (3.93) was slightly lower than the average importance score (4.13), indicating gaps in several attributes. Attributes such as availability of project safety shoes (Q8) and accessibility (Q9) fell into Quadrant A, requiring immediate improvement. Meanwhile, attributes like product quality (Q14) and delivery reliability (Q12) in Quadrant B must be maintained.
This study concludes that enhancing the priority attributes in Quadrant A can significantly improve customer satisfaction. The findings provide strategic recommendations for the company to enhance efficiency, improve product quality, and meet customer expectations.

Evaluating the Undeclared Economy in Transitional and Post-Conflict Bosnia and Herzegovina
Authors: Efendic Adnan , Williams Colin
Published: February 2025

One of the persistent characteristics of transitional and post-conflict performance of Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) is the widespread use of undeclared work. Available estimates suggest that the extent of the undeclared economy could be as high as one third of total domestic production with a similar share of the labour force being undeclared. The aim of this review article is to provide an in-depth evaluation of the undeclared economy in BiH, including its extent, character, potential determinants and what is required to tackle this economic challenge. The argument, grounded in a variant of neo-institutional theory, will be that undeclared work in this transitional and post-conflict economy arises due to persistent asymmetry between the social norms, values and beliefs (informal institutions) and the laws and regulations (formal institutions). This incongruence has not been tackled efficiently in previous decades and how this can be achieved is discussed.
Media in Bosnia and Herzegovina

Published: February 2025

This article investigates the evolution and challenges of the media landscape in Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH), tracing its development from the Yugoslav era to the post-Dayton period. Initially characterized by state control and propaganda under the Yugoslav regime, the media’s role evolved amid political shifts and conflicts, particularly during the Bosnian War. The post-war period, marked by ethnic divisions and fragmented media spheres, saw significant international efforts to promote independent journalism and democratize the media sector. However, these initiatives often encountered obstacles such as political clientelism, inadequate legal frameworks, and financial instability. The research highlights how clientelistic relationships and political manipulation have compromised editorial independence, fostering a media environment rife with biased reporting and propaganda. Control over public service media and regulatory bodies by political elites has further impeded the development of a free and independent media sector. The article concludes that addressing these persistent challenges is essential for creating a media landscape that supports democratic development and societal cohesion in BiH.
